Spreading Wings
Chapter Ten
: "By Your Side Always"

8888

Everyday, I can't get enough of you. I needed to be there by your side, because your presence makes me feel whole, like I'm a different person. Being around you makes me know that living isn't something that we should throw away. It's because, you are the only thing that is keeping me sane in this world. I understand more clearly.

We go through the day like any other day, but it's a bit different. You allowed me to stay there with you, anywhere near you. I don't mind the silence that sometimes passes through. I'm intent to just be there close. I don't really think it's annoying when you talk aimlessly of nothing at all. I enjoy watching every facial expression you make. I love it when you are angry or when you blush.

As time passes, we started to build a bond of trust among us. I soon started to tell you about myself. You've become hurt; apologizing for all the things I've been through, like it was you who has done those things to me. But you didn't. I soon realized that that smile you flash to everyone around, that draws them close to you, doesn't reflect the feeling you really feel, pain, and hurt. You are wearing a mask too. You've been through pain, though you act very innocent. You've told me about those times, just as I told you mine. You asked me to be your guide to face the darkness, and I asked you to be my light from it.

At times I feel that I don't really deserve you, someone who is just as selfless as you. Then I start to think that maybe… you don't really feel the same way I do… That you feel… sorry and obliged to get me away from my own darkness…

The monotone beeping of the heart monitor muffled the eerie silence. Kai sat beside the bed, on a chair that was present in the room. He looked up at the pale face of the girl sleeping against the white sheets. She had many bandages wrapped around her frail limbs. She has many tubes and wires tangled around her, connected to some machines to support her life. Kai noticed how tiny she was just lying lifelessly on the bed. He could feel his heart pounding with every breath the blunette took. As he watch, he felt like time was repeating, but it was altered. He could see himself three years ago, staying at the bedside of Takao, if he was still alive and was able to reach the hospital.

Kai bowed his head, letting his slate colored bangs fall upon his ruby eyes. 'Why does it always have to be this way for me? I loose everyone that is close to me… my parents…Takao… But now he's back, and I get a chance to be with him again… Takao may look different, but I know for sure it is the same Takao when I look into those eyes.' He looked up, and reached out his hand towards hers. He pulled back, afraid that this person before him will disappear, like a dream. Kai took in a deep breath, and hesitantly placed his hand on top of hers.

His hand was way bigger compared to hers. He slowly covered his hand around hers, and gentle squeezed it. 'I get this chance to see Takao again, and I nearly loose him again… I can't… I just can't bare to see him slip away.' He looked away, feeling his breath hitch, as memories of that unfaithful day. He was riding in the ambulance, holding on to Takao's hand tightly, as he watched the boy slowly slip into death's hands. '…I'm… sorry Takao…' He closed his eyes, and bent his head down on to the bed.

There was a tiny glow from the blunette's light blue Beyblade, and Kai took no notice of it on the nightstand. Simultaneously, his Beyblade also glowed. Then there were two flashes of light, taking forms. One was a tiny boy, with inky hair and small transparent blue wings. The other was a ten-year-old form of Dranzer, standing beside his master. Kai jerked up in surprise to see the two human forms of their Bit Beasts. He recognized the tiny form as Dragoon. "Kai-sama…"

"Dranzer!" The tiny boy flung himself across the bed. He pounced the older boy, and they were on the floor. The small boy was on top of Dranzer with his arms around his neck. The fiery-haired boy sweat dropped and was blushing madly in front of his master's presence. "Dragoon…"

Kai looked down with a raised brow. Dranzer managed to get up, with the small boy still in his arms. The said Dragoon pulled back and looked at the fiery boy. "Maa… it's been awhile, no?" The blue haired boy tilted his head a bit.

The fiery haired boy smiled softly at Dragoon, and brushed his bangs from his stormy eyes. "We do see each other, but not like this, alone…" Dranzer blinked his eyes and noticed the sad expression from the smaller boy. "Ne, what's wrong, Dragoon?"

The blue haired boy buried his face at the crook of the older one's neck. He held on tightly to Dranzer. "I couldn't help him again…" The boy turned his head and looked at his mistress. "I tried to get free… but I couldn't… then Takao-sama… she…" He pulled Dranzer closer. "She apologized to me, and was going to…"

Dranzer hugged him back, and started to rub the boy's back. "It's okay… see… Takao-sama is fine. So be happy for that. She wouldn't like it if you felt guilty, and would easily forgive you for anything… you know that…" Then the fiery winged boy looked directly at Kai. "Everyone knows that…" He said is a soft whisper.

Dragoon lifted his head, and looked at Kai. The boy smiled slightly. Then he turned his head back to Dranzer. "Maa, Dranzer… did you know that the Seal was opening, since I was gone?"

The fiery haired boy looked away, feeling guilty. "Yes…I've known ever since Takao-sama left this world…" Dragoon furrowed his brows. He opened his mouth to speak, but the older boy beat him to it. "I knew, but I didn't do anything because I wasn't so sure. And I had to watch over Kai-sama…" He looked at the smaller boy. "When I felt your presence at the first day of the tournament, I've known that the Light has revived." Then he looked over at Kai, who was sitting there in silence, watching them. "I wanted to tell you, Kai-sama… but I didn't know how to break it to you…"

Dranzer pulled Dragoon's head to his shoulder, and rested his face into his messy blue hair. His crimson eyes closed. "It's hard… to loose someone close to you… finding that that person might never come back… It will be even hard to believe… that they are still alive and out there…" He held Dragoon closely. "Kai-sama… It's times like these…" He looked at his master into his ruby eyes. "…That you need to let go of the past, and accept what you have now…" Kai turned his head away and stared down at Ty. Then he closed his eyes.

"Oh no! Our match against the White Tigers is next!" Hiromi looked around nervously. The brunette was pacing around in their locker room. Daichi was on the couch, watching the girl. And Kyoujyu was near the coffee table, typing away on his laptop. The team, BBA revolution was fighting their last round until the finals, against the White Tiger X at cape Town, South Africa. Since Ala Di Nero was gone, Vision Force was taking out of the tournament with only one win through out it. Just like the team before them, they have disappeared as well. This news has Kyoujyu and the others nervous on what is to come next, a part from their Beyblading.

Kyoujyu looked up to see the brunette walking around in circles. He sighed. "Hiromi-san, sit down. The more you walk around like that, you won't be able to concentrate…" The bespectacled boy stood up, and brought the girl down on the bench. "Don't worry, okay? We can do it. We can win one for our team!" He smiled at the girl, causing the girl to blush at the closeness.

"Yeah! Don't sweat it, Hiromi." Kyoujyu jerked away, in embarrassment, with the two blushing brightly. Daichi didn't notice, but kept talking. "The White Tigers are easy to defeat. If my arm isn't sprained, I would have done it myself!" Daichi said casual, while rubbing his nose in pride. The boy was still injured, and Hitoshi didn't want the boy to fight in this match.

Hiromi slouched her shoulders, and took out her lavender Beyblade. She looked at it. "Just believe that you and Destine can do it. Remember that we are there to back you up. And fight this one for Ty-san." Kyoujyu reassured her, giving her thumbs up. Hiromi smiled at him, and the boy lightly blushed and looked away.

The door to their locker room opened, and Hitoshi entered. "Okay team, it is time for our match. Let's go out there and fight our best." They all looked at one another. "If we lose this match, then don't sweat it, we've already have a permanent position at the finals. So do your best, okay?" They all nodded in response. Then they got up and walked out to the stadium.

The crowds were cheering, and they saw their opponent just entering from the other side. They walked up to their bench. "Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the White Tiger X and the BBA Revolution!" The cheering became louder. "Let's begin with the first match!"

They all smiled at the brunette who was shakily walking up to the dish. She climbed up the steps and saw Lee standing before her. He smiled at her. "Well… good luck, Hiromi-san." The brunette shakily took out her launched and went into her stance. She nodded to her opponent. 'Er… here goes nothing.'

"Bladers, are you ready? 3… 2… 1…"

"GO SHOOT!"

The tiny blue haired boy hovered above the sleeping for of his mistress. He sat in the air, with his legs crossed Indian-style. He frowned. "Silly Takao-sama… always thinking before you act…" He closed his eyes. "Takao-sama was right… Vision Force is being controlled by a dark force."

"But from where?" Dranzer sat at the edge of the bed, staring at nothing. "It's puzzling from where they got their powers. It may not be a source form the Dark Lord, seeing as they want to steal its powers. We both know that Balkov and Barthez are both evil master-minds."

Dragoon crossed his little arms. "Looks like things are getting harder for them all. The more we delay their bonding, the stronger our enemies are getting." He sighed. "We need to protect the Light and close the Seal… I fear this is going to be too much for them all."

"We should have known that the Light was Takao, then we could have started their training, though they may have been young…" Dranzer brushed a few strands of hair from his eyes.

"But we all know that no one would have guessed the Light was also the Guardian of Wind." Dragoon pointed out. "And we wouldn't have known before hand that Takao-sama was going to…" The boy trailed off, and the two Bit Beasts glanced at Kai.

Dranzer closed his eyes and turned his head away. Dragoon blinked his eyes and looked at Dranzer than back to Kai. He saw the dual haired teen close to Ty's bedside, watching her as she breathes. Kai was tempted to brush away the strands of hair from her soft face, but pulled back his hand, fearful of hurting her.

"Maa… Kai-sama, it's okay. Nothing will happen to Takao-sama." The boy tilted his head, smiling at the dual haired teen. "She's still the same Takao-sama we all know, though he's a girl…" He giggled to himself. "But his memories are concealed, so she doesn't remember that much." Dragoon brought his legs up. "Takao-sama's memories are returning quicker then I thought, since she has come to the tournament. I think it's because of you, Max-sama, and Rei-sama that she can recall them back. You can help Takao-sama return them, and help protect her, Kai-sama." Then his expression softened. "Luckily she doesn't remember his past of when he was younger, before he moved into his grandpa's house…"

Kai frowned. 'I guess that's a good thing… then she won't remember the pain she went through… but how about the pain I caused her before she died?' He stared at the floor, battling his thoughts with his heart.

Dranzer's expression saddened, watching his master. He touched his shoulder, and smiled softly. "Takao-sama returned, Kai-sama. Isn't that enough? Stop blaming yourself, and I'm sure she can forgive you, for whatever thing you did, though we know you didn't do anything to her." The fiery winged boy furrowed his brows. Then he smiled slightly at his master. "You can start over, or continue where you two left off." He looked down, slightly glancing at Dragoon. "I was once in the same position… but he didn't die… I was given a second chance… everyone deserves it." He smiled.

"But… he hates me…she'll hate me." Kai whispered.

Dragoon shook his head. "No she won't." The boy now floated beside Dranzer, the two bit beasts looking at the dual-haired teen. "Takao-sama never hates anyone, except for those who would hurt his friends or family. You of all people should know that, and he told you that before." He smiled softly. "Takao-sama has a big heart, Kai-sama, and there is only room for you in it. He still loves you… I can feel it, but she is confused, because she is afraid to tell you and see your reaction. She fears that you don't have that feeling anymore, and you don't want Takao-sama back. If you tell her, Kai-sama that this whole time you still love her, then nothing will go wrong."

"You do want to be with Takao-sama again, don't you?" Dranzer asked.

"Baka… what are you doing under the rain?"

Stormy blue eyes blinked open, and a mid-night blue haired boy turned around to face a dual haired boy, older than him. Ruby eyes gaze at him, with a raised brow. The older boy was dry compared to the soaked bluenette under the heavy down pour. The boy saw him standing, leaning against the frame of the doorway of his home, a dojo.

The boy smiled up at him, and started to spin around I the rain. "I love the rain! And it's fun to be out here!"

The dual haired teen slightly frowned, but smiled inside, watching the boy dance around in a cute way. "But, you won't love it if you get sick, and that is not fun." He sighed, and pushed himself from the doorframe. "Get inside Takao." He ordered.

"Aw, Kai… but I don't want to!" the boy whined. "And I promise I won't get sick!" The boy rubbed his nose. "Nothing can get me down, not even a measly can beat the great Kinomiya Takao!" He laughed out loud, with his hands on his waist, looking up proudly.

Kai rolled his ruby eyes. "You'll be sorry when you do get sick." He sighed, and turned around to get back inside the warmth of the house. He glanced over his shoulder to see the boy run in circles under the storm, like an innocent child.

Takao glared at the smirking dual haired teen sitting beside him on the edge of his bed. "Don't you dare say it." The boy growled, but then ended off coughing with his soar throat.

Kai chuckled. "I told you so."

The boy scowled. Takao woke up with a terrible cold, getting dizzy every time he tries to walk. It was nice and sunny out, and the team was supposed to train their Beyblading skills. But Kai canceled it to care of the young blue haired boy. 'Anything to stay by his side…' The boy was lying under the covers of his bed, and Kai was playing nurse for the small boy.

"C'mon Kai, I'm fine now!" The boy whined. The older boy rolled his eyes, knowing that the boy was still flushed and very warm.

"I thought you wanted this, to stay in bed so that you can cut off form practice?" The dual haired teen asked. He was leaning his back against the boy's headboard. Kai sat above the sheets, sitting beside the lying form. His arms were crossed, and eyes closed.

"Well… yeah… but…" The boy bit his lip, feeling funny at the closeness between them. Sure he liked it when Kai would now and then give him attention, he also like the days when they spent it together. But Takao had a hard time understanding it all in his head.

Kai sighed and swung his legs over the side of the bed. "Well… obviously you want to spent it alone. So I'll leave you to rest off your cold." He stood up, but then a hand grabbed his. Kai looked over to see Takao, with the covers covering his face a bit, with his eyes peering at him.

The boy could feel his cheeks turning redder, with one of his arm stretched out, holding Kai's hand. "I… I didn't say I wanted you to go…please stay with me…Kai…" Kai raised his brow, then smiled down at him. The dual haired teen went back to his spot beside the smaller boy. Takao smiled to himself, and laid his head on the older boy's lap.

"I'll never leave you, Takao…"

There was a groan, and a little ruffling of the sheets. Ty fluttered her eyes open, and her senses soon opened. She could hear the beeping of the heart monitor and the pumping of the respirator beside her. She could see the white washed ceiling, but the room was a bit eerie and dark, with the curtains drawn, blocking out the faint rays of the sun.

Pieces of her memories were recollecting, both from her last battle and faint traces of Takao's. She moaned a bit, and tried to sit up. Pain was throbbing all over, but she bit her lip to push it back. A hand on her shoulder stopped her, and she was gently pushed back into the mattress. She blinked open her eyes widely, and looked up to stare into deep ruby red eyes. The girl blushed deeply. "…K-Kai…?" Her voice was hoarse and cracked.

The duel haired teen's eyes bored into hers, emitting a comforting emotion towards her. She couldn't describe the swirl of emotions she was drowning in, and she was very curious to know. Kai reddened, and Ty blinked in confusion. He looked away. "You shouldn't get up yet. You were terribly injured and your wounds aren't healed yet."

She can feel the voice of concern. She smiled softly while blushing, and turned her head from the older teen. "How… how long have I been asleep? Are the matches over?" She asked in a hoarse whisper.

She watched as the older teen walked over to a chair and pulled it up beside her bedside. "Well… the tournament at Cape Town is probably over. So they will be going over to the finals tomorrow at Batuken."

Ty gasped. "Are we still here in Bern?" Kai nodded. Ty blinked, and then suddenly blushed more. "…Y-you… you stayed… here, with me?" The teen turned his head away, and nodded slowly. "…But… why?" She looked at him. "How about your tournament? You didn't participate?" Then it clicked within her. 'He… does he…?' Suddenly hope bubbled in her chest.

A hand brushed against her face, tucking away the disarrayed midnight blue strands from her chocolate brown eyes. "…Are… are you alright?" Ty gasped a bit and turned to look up at the duel haired teen. She saw another mixed emotion surrounded him. "…I was… I was afraid…" Suddenly the dual haired teen pulled his hand away. Ty saw that the teen was battling something in his mind.

Ty's eyes softened, and she blinked her eyes, only for the chocolate color to be replaced by a stormy blue color. Kai widened his eyes in shock. "You… you still care for him… me…" Ty whispered, still flushed on her face.

Kai bowed his head down, and looked away. The blunette struggled to sit up, but Kai pushed her back down in protest. "What are you trying to do? You're still weak from that crazy battle. You should rest." He said with a bit of anger. A warm hand touch his, and he looked at the blunette. She was smiling.

"You still have feelings for him… Takao… me… don't you?" Ty whispered softly, taking Kai's hand and holding it close to her chest. "Tell me… why is it when I'm around you, my heart doesn't hurts anymore, filling this empty void right here?" She clenched on to Kai's hand, pressing it closer to her heart. She looked away, her hands shaking. "Kai… I want to remember… I want to know… You're the only one who can help me, because it's always you I see…" she opened her eyes and looked at Kai. "I want to be with you…"

Kai's expression softened, and he bent down closer to the bed. Ty turned her head and looked at him. Kai smiled, and reached over to brush away the fallen strands. He stared into a pair of stormy blue eyes. "Takao… no… Ty… I can help you… but…" Ty frowned a bit. "I need to forgive myself." The blunette blinked her eyes in confusion. "You must still hate me… because it was my fault… I killed you… I let you die, and I couldn't save you."

Kai gently pulled back his hand, and he stood up. Ty opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't. He turned away, his back facing her, confusing the girl. "Honestly… I want to be with you too, but I'm afraid. And it's hard for me to open up again and find that feeling I once had for you" His fists were clenching tightly. "I might hurt you again… and I don't want that… Because… every person I ever did love… they always disappear, and you might disappear from me forever…" His eyes closed tightly, and he could see the hurt expression of Takao's that night when he died. "I'm sorry, Ty…"

Two hands grabbed his again, and Kai turned around with a questioning look. He saw Ty sitting up, her body bent over, letting her long hair fall. He heard her say something barely audible, and he furrowed his brows. Ty looked up at him, with streaming tears in her stormy blue eyes.

"I don't care!" Her hands begin to shake, and she let her head fall back, facing the ground. Kai bent down on his knees to look up at her. "I don't care of the past… all I know is that when I'm with you… I'm not in as much pain anymore… you didn't do anything, but I will forgive you. What ever happened happened, and you need to know, it wasn't your fault. It is just fate. I wouldn't care at all as long as you still love Takao… me." She shook her head, remembering that night. "Whatever happened… it doesn't matter anymore. That was in the past, and now… we were giving this chance to be together again… to start over or go on." She bit her lip, and sniffed. The tears won't stop flowing. "I can let go of that part of my past, if you let it go too. I want to be with you… I know it, I do still… love you…Kai."

He froze at those words, not really knowing what to say. His heart was beating harder against his chest. 'Takao… still loves…me…' Kai lifted her chin, and wiped away the tears from her eyes. He brushed away her mid-night blue hair form her face, and moved towards her face. A pair of warm lips was pressed against his, and his expression was in surprise, caught off guard. Slowly he eyes fluttered closed, feeling the sensation that seemed absent far too long. Kai returned the kiss, pushing forward into the warmth. Ty wrapped her around his neck, not wanting that burning emotion to go away. But with the lack of oxygen, they pulled away, panting after what seemed like an eternity. Kai slowly opened his eyes, and looked up to see the girl smiling.

"Ty, I'm so-" He was stopped, as she pressed her lips on to his for another kiss. They parted, and they both opened their eyes, as blue and red gazed into one another.

"I told you," she pouted, "it doesn't matter anymore… what we have is all that matters… Kai." She smiled at him, and suddenly, Kai felt as if this girl was really Takao in his old self. He can feel the familiar body of the boy being pressed against him. He imagines how is use to be when they were younger, just holding each other in silent content. He smiled to himself, and let himself get lost in their gaze.

He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead to hers. "Please wait for me… to figure out this confusion in my head. I will return your feelings that have been locked up for years. Let me find it, but I'll still protect you, and help you to return to your old self."

Ty nodded slowly. "...I understand… and I'll wait forever…" She shyly looked up at the dual haired teen, her face blushing brightly. "As long as I can stay by your side?"

Reporter: "For the past days, this battles have become more bizarre and fierce compared to the past. We're now here live after the press conference concerning the news about the finals of the World Beyblading Tournament. The battle in Cape Town, South Africa gave the White Tiger X their third win, against the BBA Revolution. Surprisingly, the All Stars defeated the Blitzbrieg Boys, giving them also their third win."

The camera was now focusing on the press conference with Mr. Dickinson and the other chairmen of the tournament. The old plum man was talking into the microphone. On the corner it says replay. The voice of the reporter was in the background.

Reporter:" With The BBA Revolution at the permanent spot at the finals in Batuken, Japan, with four wins, the rest of the teams are now tied for the spot in the finals against them. Each team has three wins, and it was decided for an all for one win against the three teams."

The camera changes view to three familiar Beybladers from the BBA Revolution. There was Daichi with his arm in a sling, waving with his other arm, enthusiastically at the camera. Hiromi was waving bashfully, and a bit bad. Kyoujyu smiled at the camera.

Reporter: "We are now live with a special interview with our leading team, the BBA Revolution." The reporter woman smiles at the young teens. "So tell me how it feels to have the permanent spot at the finals, after the sad lose against the White Tiger X?"

Kyoujyu: Slightly glances at Hiromi. "Well, seeing all the things we've been through to get here, and the terrible accident to our teammate, we're just grateful to make it to the finals."

Hiromi: Forcefully smiling. "We just hope that our friend Ty will recover soon." She frowns sadly. "We know how much it means to her to fight in the finals."

Reporter: "Do you think that whoever it is you will fight against, you would be titled World Champions this year?"

Daichi: "Of course we will! We have the strongest team, and we will win back the title!" Kyoujyu and Hiromi sweat drop.

Reporter: Laughs.

Kyoujyu: Looks at his watch. "Well, we are sorry to make this short, but we have to be on our way." He smiled and bows as an apology.

Then the camera turns away, and is facing the reporter.

Reporter: "Well, there you have it Beyblade fans. What will go on when we come to a final stop around the world at Batuken, Japan? Who would fight against our leading finalists team BBA Revolution? Will they keep their title as World Champion or give it up to the other teams? We'll just have to find out on the semi-finals against the White Tiger X, All Starz and the Blitzbrieg Boys. See you at Batuken, Beyblade fans."

The television was turned off, and Kai fell back on to his bed. He glanced over at the sleeping blunette. A few hours ago, Ty complained about staying at the hospital, so they checked out, and Kai took her to his hotel room. He retrieved Ty's stuff from her own hotel room, and checked her out from there. Ty was resting for the night, and tomorrow morning they would be heading to Batuken, where the next Beyblading match will be, where her home is

He draped his arms over his eyes, blocking the lights. 'Well… the finals are coming close. I hope that somehow I would face Takao in the finals… It will be like old times…' Suddenly memories of their time in the hospital replayed in his mind. He remembered that Ty wanted to say something that was important, that he needed to understand something. But the dual haired teen told her that she needs more rest before they left.

He lifted his arms from his face, and turned his head to watch the sleeping blunette. He saw her chest rise and fall in every breath so took. The girl made a face, before turning over to her side, facing Kai. The duel haired teen smiled to him self. 'I finally have you back, Takao…' He closed his eyes, remembering the past, but then his heart would turn as it flashed back of the night he watched the boy die. 'It's just so hard to accept that you returned to me, not with that nightmare still etched into my mind.' He opened his eyes, and shifted to face his back at the sleeping girl. He stared out at the sky. 'Thank you… for understanding, Takao. It just hurts. But when I'm around you, I feel like myself again… but then…I don't want to lose you again, Takao…' He took in a shaky breath. 'But I'll protect you… I'll try so hard to not let you get away from me, again…' He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
