Chapter 8 The Beginning of the End

Tyson's hands were shaking slightly as he looked at the book. It must have fallen out of one of the moving boxes… but what about the plush bunny? It looked like it had been lying there for years. Somehow, that bunny seemed so familiar, and so comforting.

Tyson got upstairs which caused him to pant even heavier. He was still sick and the physical activity was painful for him. When he finally made it to his bed, he collapsed on it, completely exhausted. He opened the Diary and shimmed forward to the date of June 24th, 1995, the year Tyson was going to turn 6.
Dear Diary.
It's been awhile since I last wrote in you. I should probably get you up to date. Tomorrow, I'm getting married to the love of my life, James Granger. I'm so happy, it's like my life consist only of happiness. I can't believe that the day finally is here. The preparations for the wedding have taken months, and I was beginning to fret that it would never happen. My wedding dress is amazing, and the cake… I can't believe it! Tomorrow… I'll be Miranda Granger, not Miranda Northbecker. It's so… wonderful!

Tyson was shocked, this didn't sound as the Miranda he'd gotten to know over the years. What had happened to turn her into the person she is now?

And after the wedding, I can't wait to have children. James says that he's eager too… I want to experience pregnancy, I really do. Even if it's supposed to be really hard and hurt a lot when you give birth… I still want to go through it. After all, having a baby is one of the greatest proofs of love anyone can give.

'What!' Tyson screamed in his mind, he was supposed to be turning six this year, but according to Miranda's diary, she doesn't have any children yet. 'I guess this proves it, I'm not the child of Miranda and James Granger…' Somehow, Tyson was both sad and happy about this. He felt really torn.

Tyson heard the front door open; he quickly hid the diary under his mattress and the bunny under his pillow and pretended to sleep. He heard the door to his room open and he knew Miranda was the one who came in. The woman who he'd believed all his life was his mother, sat down by the bed and put her hand on his forehead.

"… You're burning up…" she whispered and stood up. She left for awhile, and then she came back and put a wet cloth on Tyson's forehead, not aware that the boy was only pretending to be asleep. As she retreated from the room, Tyson could hear her say:

"I'm so sorry… if only I hadn't given in… If I only hadn't…" Then she started to sob as she left. When Tyson was sure that Miranda was back downstairs, he sat up in bed. What was wrong with Miranda? She had never acted like this before. It was so… odd.

Once Kai had gotten home from school, Narumi and Megumi was sitting by the Hiwatari kitchen table waiting for him.

"Well, what did he say?" Megumi asked, almost panicking.

"He wasn't in school… he was reported sick." Megumi slumped back down in her chair. There were merely three days until Takao's birthday, and if he wasn't found, then she'd never get to see her son again, because the world would be thrown into chaos and she'd probably never find him then.

-Kai and Tyson's dream-

(!)Tayca and Karachi broke apart for air and Tayca let out a content sigh and leaned her head against Karachi's chest.

"You know what Karachi?" she asked him with closed eyes, loving the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around her.

"What is it love?" Karachi asked as the apply scent of Tayca took over his senses.

"Reran is going to ask Maxine to marry him…" Karachi smiled.

"That is so great." Karachi was about to go down on his knee and propose to Tayca when a sound made them turn. Someone was trying to get into Tayca's chamber. And if they got into it and she wasn't there, it would be trouble! Luckily, Lady Dranzer helped the young lovers and then Karachi said as Tayca was on her balcony:

"I'll have to leave for now… but I'll be back. And I've got something important to talk to you about." Tayca smiled and threw him a pretend kiss before hurrying into her room and closed the doors while Karachi headed away through the garden.

The next morning, Tayca was much happier… but mornings just wasn't her time of the day it seemed. As she got downstairs, she came just in time to see Karachi being dropped to the ground blood running down his forehead and out of his mouth and his hands tied behind his back. Fury bulged up inside her, and it increased as she heard her father's words:

"You! You pathetic piece of shit! You were told to stay away from my daughter, but you disobeyed orders, and now you'll have to pay. Even it if means war against the Hiwatari clan. Yes… I am going to kill you young master Kai, you life ends now." Tayca understood that her father hadn't seen her yet; otherwise he wouldn't have acted like this.

Tayca ran, fast as the wind, up to Karachi and fell down on her knees beside him, tears falling from her eyes.

"You monster! How can you live with yourself! Don't you even care about your own daughter!?" Lord Kinomiya's face was stone cold, and his voice even colder:

"You're not my daughter. Your slut of a mother was in town were she met a nice young carpenter who showed her a good time, and nine months later, she gave birth to you." Lady Kinomiya was crying, she did not want her child to suffer like this, nor did she want Karachi to.

"You're not of the Kinomiya clan… my mother is… you're not! I HATE YOU!" At Tayca's last words, ice cold winds left the air around her and attacked the man she had called her father. Minutes later, Lord Kinomiya was dead, at the hand of the corner of the east, of the element wielder of air/wind.

Tayca helped her love up; she couldn't look at the dead body that the guards escorted out. She had killed him. Karachi held Tayca close to comfort her. 'No way that Reran's getting to it before me,' he thought before he let go of Tayca. He went down on one knee and pulled up a little golden ring with one red and one blue ring and said:

"Tayca Kinomiya, will you do me the honours and me my wife?" Tayca got tears in her eyes and she nodded wildly.

"Yes Karachi… of course I will!" Karachi smiled and stood up, then he put the golden ring on her finger and Tayca threw herself around his neck and kissed him passionately, now completely content with life.

-…-

Tyson woke up, so that's how it ended for Tayca and Karachi… at least they were happy. Tyson spent the day in his bed reading Miranda's diary. He was growing worse but he still felt strong somehow. The diary was ripping Tyson's heart to pieces, it was so sad and he hated a certain person more than ever. Once he'd finished, it was getting dark outside. Tyson got out of bed; he needed to get to Kai, and quickly. He managed to dress in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and then he hurried down, the cold floor against his bare feet made him shiver.

As he was on his way outside, Miranda found him.

"You know…" she whispered, then she pulled Tyson close into an embrace and said: "Run, run away… don't come back… hurry." Tyson only nodded, but before he got outside, James had caught his arm. And James did not look merciful. While Miranda's eyes now displayed panic and fear, James' displayed anger. He started pulling the sick and struggling boy into the living room and said:

"Miranda, go get the medicine!" Miranda shook her head and ran into the kitchen crying. James swore and continued to struggle with Tyson.

Miranda got the phone and called the police. She told them were to find Takao (she gave them the address they were on) and then she hung up. Next, she called Kai, who answered the phone rather sleepily:

"Kai!" Miranda hissed, "It's Miranda… you have to get over here! Tyson's Takao… he figured it out… you have to come over here or James will take him away forever!" Kai's eyes snapped open and he gaped.

"Why should I believe you?" But he was answered only by a scream of fear.

Miranda was on the kitchen floor, the phone lay on it and James looked angrily at her.

"What the hell are you doing!" he grabbed the collar of her shirt and pulled her to her feet. "Backstabbing slut!" He hissed and threw his wife into the kitchen counter. He grabbed her again and punched her.

"What… about… Takao…" Miranda managed to stutter out.
"Oh, he's out cold you bitch." Then Jams threw Miranda out in the hall. When she hit the floor, the woman whimpered. James started kicking her in the stomach, then once in the face and as she lay there on the floor, badly beaten and bleeding he pulled a gun, took sight on her head and said:

"Now you get what you deserve you backstabbing bitch."
