Note: I dont own Beyblade. And the reason why I hadn't updated in a while? Our hallway floor was getting redone, which clearly meant, no using the computer. So, any anticipation issues you have had because of this series, my mother apologizes.
Chapter 18: Open
"It's a boy, ma'am." The woman held her baby son with open arms of affection. Although she loved her new son, she felt a pain of remorse. She needed a baby girl to pass on the bloodline and power…still, she loved her new son all the same.
"I'm not surprised." her husband said, his spiky hair now drooped with previous anticipation. "There hasn't been a girl in our family in about a century." The woman shrugged and stroked her new son's curly light blue hair. There would be a girl if she would have anything to say about it.
"I still…can't get it right." Kai murmured as he started a new drawing of Tysa. Maybe it was a bad idea to kiss her.
She asked for it though right?
You could've just showed her the drawings. You know she likes them.
I'm not going to show her a drawing I can't finish!
Maybe if you ask, she'll help. Kai thought about that. He never really asked anyone to model for him, mainly because he didn't need to. Tysa on the other hand…she would probably say yes…
"Aiyeeh!" Kai looked up, alarmed at the familiarity of the voice.
"Tysa!" he yelled. He ran towards the scream, fearful for Tysa's life.
"Wh-Who are you!" Tysa stepped back from the black hooded person in front of her.
"I am Karsen." The figure bowed. "A creator."
"A…creator?" Tysa repeated.
"Yes. I created the temporary form of that body. Now…" Karsen moved forward towards Tysa. Tysa moved to step back, but couldn't.
"I created invisible chains around this area. You won't leave for a while." Karsen told her as he approached her. "Let's see…hair color: blue, strength: above average, intelligence:--"
"Hey! What gives you the right to tell me how smart I am!" Tysa started to thrash around. "And these—chains—are just gonna have to—break!" Tysa pulled on the chains restraining her, but they didn't even resist. "Huh?"
"Ha! You think you can destroy something I, Karsen, created! You may be the descendant of the chosen, but you don't even know the half of what the bey-spirit can do!" Karsen bellowed. His hood fell back, revealing an old man with white-silver hair with a matching beard, and garnet eyes.
"Well, if she can break them, I will!" Kai stood behind Tysa aiming his beyblade in between the two.
"Kai!" Tysa whispered.
"Well, well. If it isn't the Guardian Dranzer." Karsen bowed towards Kai.
"A lot of people have been calling me that lately…And I don't like it!" Kai yelled as he shot his Dranzer towards Karsen. Dranzer hit its mark and Karsen yelped, as if burned.
"Curse that phoenix…" Karsen scowled as shadows enveloped him.
"Wait!" Kai yelled as he ran up to the shadows, but both the shadows and Karsen vanished. Kai scowled.
"Kai…?" Tysa whispered softly. The chains had vanished when Karsen did. "That…is you…right?" Kai turned around him and nodded. Something about the moonlight gave Tysa a different glow. He liked it.
"We…should get you home." Kai managed to say. Tysa sat down and shook her head.
"I don't…want to go home…just yet." Tysa said, still slightly shaken up from that experience. There was a silence between the two that made Kai's heart hurt. He sat down beside her.
"I'll stay here, too. You get into too much trouble by yourself." Kai said. Tysa gave a small laugh.
"What's wrong with a little action and adventure, Kai? The life's too short to play it safe. Besides—" Tysa smirked at Kai, "If it wasn't for me, you would've been complaining on how bored you are."
"If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have a headache every single day." Kai smirked back.
"Har, har, Mr. Hiwatari. If you never make it big as a beyblader or artist, try comedian." Tysa narrowed her eyes along with the smirk. Kai's heart pounded but narrowed his eyes as well.
"Hmph." Tysa fell back on the ground. She was silent for a while. "I don't remember the last time I talked to someone like this." Her voice became low and nostalgic. Kai's heart pounded again as he silently agreed. He didn't remember the last time he actually talked to someone either. Something about Tysa made it easy to speak. It felt weird but…he felt so open to her.
"Wanna hear something funny, Kai?"
"Hmm?"
"Well, it probably won't compare to your jokes but…" Kai rolled his eyes. "Do you know why Grandpa, Hitoshi, and even Tyson didn't really talk about me?" Kai shook his head. He never really knew why they never mention Tysa. It could be because they were scared of her, but Tyson seemed to care a lot for his sister to not talk about her.
"I'm the only girl in our family." Tysa finally said. Kai's eyes widened.
"The only girl?" He choked.
"Yes. And I mean born into the family. Hitoshi said that Dad and Grandpa nearly fainted when I was born. The doctors said that there was two twin boys. So to speak, I never liked doctors…" Kai was felt confused and that he understood at the same time. Obviously, being one girl in the family, they would be overprotective. On the other hand, how could doctors mistake a girl for a boy? Then again, when he met Tysa, he thought she was a boy…
"No wonder you act so much like one." Kai turned his head away from and smirked. Tysa glared.
"Excuse me?" she asked dryly. Kai shrugged.
"Well, you kind of act like one."
"I can act like a girl, Kai. In fact, I am one. What a surprise." She rolled her eyes. Kai gave a small chuckle. He then bent down and kissed her. It surprised Tysa at first, but she dealt with it. When he separated, they were both thinking the same thing: Holy crap. Tysa stood up and brushed herself off.
"Just one, Kai?" she teased. Kai scowled.
"If I kiss you again, you'd probably injure me in some way, shape, or form. And, I'd probably feel the wrath of all the Grangers on my head, just because I kissed the only girl in their family." Tysa gave a laugh.
"That last part probably be true but…" she thought about it for a while. "I don't know about that first part…"
Gaaah! What am I saying!
It's not like you're loyal to Ray though, right?
It's not like I'm loyal to Kai, either!
So, you don't mind if either kissed you, as long as the other doesn't blame you.
Yes. No! What the hell am I thinking! Oh, god, have a headache…
So, you like them both.
What? I didn't catch that. My head obviously hurts too much…"Um, Kai…"
"Hmmm?" Kai stopped just short of kissing Tysa.
"I…think I need to go home." Kai seemed resistant to separate away, but managed to. He nodded. He started to walk Tysa home.
"So…Kai…"
"What?"
"What's your house like?"
"Huh?"
"Well, I figure it must be big, considering your grandfather is the rich Voltarie."
"Wait." Kai stopped, making Tysa turn around. "How do you know that?"
"Well, Kai, I have something to tell you." Tysa paused for a moment. "…..I have a brother. Who sent me letters of everything. Which, isn't really that smart, considering that some of the letters could've been taken, but that's beside the point, considering that he isn't that smart to begin with." Kai narrowed his eyes. If he wasn't Tysa's brother, he probably would've hurt him by now.
"So…what else do you know?" Kai asked when they started walking again.
"Everything. From the day the Bladebreakers formed all the way to the day they fought Team BEGA. Your loyalty skills suck, Kai." Kai growled. Tysa smiled slyly and narrowed her eyes.
"Tysa."
"Hmmm?"
"I'm going to kill your brother."
"Sorry, Kai. I already had dibs."
"Then I'll just have to beat the crap out his corpse." Tysa laughed.
"I think I could've been serious about that comedian thing, Kai!"
"Hopefully you weren't."
"Why are so testy about your past anyway, Kai?"
"What does that mean?"
"You always keep yourself secluded from everyone. Surely you had a friend before the Bladebreakers. And after that Biovolt childhood."
"Hey, I—" Kai stopped short from snapping. What did happen in between those two time periods? And…why couldn't he remember? His thoughts were interrupted by a beyblade spinning towards them.
"Tysa, look out!" Kai pulled Tysa down to the ground, narrowly missing the beyblade.
"Well, well. If it isn't Kai."
Ok, Chapter 18. New Hún Dún member. New person. New feelings. Fun. Oh, BTW, for the people who don't check on the internet for names because of the heck of it, here's a fun fact: Tala's name is actually a girl's name. Yes. I know. It's shocking. I mean, honestly, I wouldn't give a supposedly tough guy a girl's name.
