REVELATIONS

I sat there for so many more minutes till I realised it was getting late. So I headed home, mumbled a 'hi' to my Grandfather and then went straight to my room and locked the door after me. Then I collapsed onto my bed. I heard Grandpa knock on my door.

"Ty, my man, where you been all day?"

"Out," came my short reply. S so did not want to face him right now.

"Ok little dude, you want your dinner?"

"Not hungry."

"What! My little dude's not hungry?"

I heard the surprise in his voice. "Just leave me alone, I am not hungry, I'm not suck, I am just tired. I'll see you in the morning."

"Ok ok," I heard him mumbled as his footsteps faded away. I let out a breath that I didn't even realise I was holding. My Grandpa was weird most of the time, ok, all of the time, but I know that he cares for me and if he saw my face, he would totally freak out and go completely wack. And I know that I just couldn't deal with my Grandpa on one of his warpaths right now. I only wanted to sleep. So I rolled over onto my stomach and held my pillow tightly. And I felt myself let go, of everything. I cried and cried and cried. I was so hurt and I don't mean my physical injuries. I wanted Kai to hold me and tell me that everything would be alright. That is pretty ironic, I figured, considering he's the one that hurt me so deeply in the first place.

So just like every other night of my life since I had met him, I fell asleep with Kai on my mind. His scarlet eyes starring into mine.

When morning came I knew that I would have to face my Grandpa. So after my shower I slowly made my way to the kitchen, my feet dragging, I was so not looking forward to this.

"Morning Ty, my man."

"Hi," I replied. I stood there in the doorway and waited with baited breath.

The older man finally turned to face me, "Hey since it is Sunday I was...holy bejesus...what the hell..." in the end he just trailed off. He appeared to be too stunned to even finish one sentence. I didn't know what to say so I kept quiet, my eyes lowered. I felt him come closer. "Who did this to you Tyson?"

"It's nothing Grandpa. It doesn't even hurt." I tried not to cringe at the blatant lie. The truth was my left eye stung and my temple pounded. I couldn't look at him.

"Who?" he demanded.

I jerked my head up, surprised at the zeal in his voice, my eyes meet his. "Kai."

"Why I oughta..."

"No, no it was an accident." I watched him the way his eyes flashed. I had never seen him like this before, frankly it was quite scary. "Please just don't ok. It was an accident. It's fine," I pleaded. I saw him take a deep breath.

"Fine, ok Tyson. I'm going out for the day, visiting an old friend ok. I'll be home in time for dinner though."

"All right, I'll see you then then." I watched him walk from the room and breathed a sigh of relief, 'That didn't go all that bad,' I thought, I was mildly surprised. I finished up with breakfast, when I heard, "see you later Ty my man," which was closely followed by the resonating sound of our front door slamming shut. Not two minuted later the phone rang. "Hello, Tyson speaking."

"You Ty," I recognized Max's voice, "You want us to come over to you know train and stuff?"

"Sure, but Draciel and you are going down."

"Ha ha Ty, sure whatever, you wish. I'll tell Rei and Kenny and we will be there in twenty minutes of so."

"Kay, see you then."

We hung up and I realised he had not mentioned inviting Kai. I shrugged it off and went back to my bedroom to get Dragoon.

Exactly twenty-two minutes later Rei and Max came running into my yard, "You are late," I said, crossing my arms over my chest, tapped my foot and tsked tsked them,

"Sorry," came Rei's breathless apology. Max just looked at me strangely. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze, I uncrossed my arms, "What?"

"Noth...nothing," he stuttered.

"No, what is it?"

"It's just that you sounded like Kai just now."

'I what?" I replied indignantly.

I saw Rei poke him in the ribs. "Ow, what did you do..." he trailed off as Rei elbowed him. "Oh - um never mind."

"Right, ok then, you guys are very strange. But let's go practice already." I turned and started to go around the house to go to the miniature Beystadiums. But I heard...

"Why did you mention him for," I asked as we both turned to follow Tyson, he had already disappeared around the corner. I waited till he was out of sight before I rounded on Max.

"Who?"

"Kai."

"Oh," came Max's sheepish reply.

"What about me?"

We both jumped at the unexpected question. I turned, but I already knew who it was. I opened my mouth to tell him what for, but I never got the chance.

"What are you doing here?" demanded the Blonde; he had his back to Kai.

"What?" came the surprised answer.

"You are not welcome here anymore." I watched Kai's face fall slightly. "What you did was unforgivable Kai, can't you understand that. He is our friends. Tyson was your friend for God's sake and a friend is someone who is to be cherished. You never, never ever raise you hand against a friend."

"But I..."

"But nothing," interrupted Max, "What ever you have to say, it will never change my mind." Max still had not turned around, so he didn't see Kai's eyes. I almost felt sorry for him; he looked kind of lost, but almost was the operative word. "Get out Kai; we don't ever want to see you again."

"Ok." I was starring at Max, his clenched fists and all, when I heard that small word of acknowledgement of Max's feelings. I jerked my head back to see Kai who had lowered his gaze, "I'll go."

"No, wait..." came an exclamation. I turned to the cry.
