Foreva Friends
(Don't own Beyblade)Chapter 3-
"Is something wrong?"
"You're getting adopted"
"What!… when, by who.." Hiro asked, shock, worry and sadness evident through his voice
"Mr and Mrs Granger, the couple that were here a few days ago, they're coming to pick you up tomorrow"
"What about Tyson?"
"He'll stay here with Kai until he gets adopted… did you want me to tell him or did you want to…"
"No, I'll tell him" Hiro walked off towards Tyson and Kai's room.
Once he got there he sighed before knocking.
A few seconds later Kai opened the door, dressed in his PJ's and damp hair. Kai looked into Hiro's eyes and frowned at the sadness filled within the rusty-brown depths "What's up?"
"I need you to do a favour for me. Where's Tyson?" Hiro asked walking into the room.
Kai shut the door and turned to face him. "He's in the shower, why, what's going on?" Kai's voice laced with concern and curiosity.
Hiro sighed again "I'm getting adopted, they're coming to get me tomorrow…" Hiro walked over to Kai and kneeled down t his level, rusty brown locking with magenta "I need you to take care of Tyson for me, I'm not sure how he's going to take the news, but I want you to be there for him, can you do that for me?"
Kai looked at him in shock "… yeah of course, but I don't think he'll take it that well…"
"I know that's why he's going to need you more now than ever"
"I'll be there for him, I promise, I'll take care of him"
Hiro smiled "Thanks Kai, you're a great friend"
At that point Tyson re-entered the room and noticed the tension in the room "What's going on, did something happen…"
"Kai would you mind if I tell Tyson alone" Hiro whispered to Kai
Kai nodded understanding and walked out the room.
Hiro stood up and walked over to Tyson.
Tyson became worried "What's going on, why did Kai leave?"
"Tyson…" Hiro whispered and knelt down to Tyson's level.
"Hiro, what happened, you're scaring me"
"Tyson, I've been adopted…"
Tyson's eyes widened and filled with tears "What, why, I don't want you to go" Tyson threw his arms around Hiro's neck.
Hiro hugged his crying brother "I know, I don't want to go either--"
"Then don't go, stay here please," Tyson begged, in between sobs.
"I have to go Tyson, we don't have a choice"
"When are they coming to take you?" Tyson whispered into his brothers now damp shirt"
"Tomorrow sometime…"
Tyson started to cry harder again.
"Come on Tyson don't cry…" Hiro pulled Tyson off of him and held the whimpering boy by the shoulders. Tyson's eyes were red and puffy and glistened with unshed tears, his cheeks were stained with already fallen tears. "It's going to be ok, you'll still have Kai with you and we still have tonight together ok, so lets make it a fun night, what do you say?"
Tyson sniffed as he nodded.
"That's my little brother, no more tears ok" Hiro wiped the tears from Tyson's eyes and smiled, "Let's go get Kai and have some fun"
Tyson smiled "Ok"
Hiro stood and took Tyson's hand before walking out of the room.
When they entered the living room they found everyone ready to go. Tyson spotted Kai and went over to him.
After Tyson left Miss Kira went up to Hiro "How is he?"
"He didn't take it to well, but I think he'll be ok"
"Did you want me to cancel the camp out?"
Hiro shook his head "I promised him a fun night together"
"Ok, we better get started then…" she walked into the middle of the room "Ok children, everything is ready, so lets go"
The children filed out the back door towards the set up tents at the far end of the yard, each holding their pillows and blankets.
As the neared the tents they felt the warmth of several fires crackling away.
Hiro, Tyson and Kai took one of the smaller tents whilst the others organised themselves into groups to take the remaining tents.
Once everyone was set, they sat around the fires and ate dinner. For dessert they roasted marshmallows in which everyone enjoyed.
Later on someone came up with the idea of telling ghost stories around the fire. Most of the children agreed. A few that hadn't went to sit in their tents to talk.
Tyson, Kai and Hiro all sat around a smaller fire close to their tent.
"It's really nice out here, this was a really good idea Tyson" Hiro looked up at the stars.
Tyson sighed sadly "I know" he whispered on the brink of crying again.
"Come on Tyson, it's going to be ok, don't cry, remember we said we were going to have fun tonight" Hiro tried to comfort his brother.
Tyson nodded before wiping the tears from his eyes "I just want to lay in between you two and watch the stars…" he replied, his voice soft
"Sure, let's go"
The three boys stood up and moved till they found a spot and lay down to watch the stars.
It didn't take long for Tyson to fall asleep. Hiro glanced at Tyson as he heard the soft snores coming from him and sighed sadly.
Kai heard the sigh and glanced at Hiro "He'll be ok Hiro, it'll just take him a while to get used to you not being around"
"I know, it's just going to feel weird not having him to look after, I've been there for him ever since he was born…" Hiro moved his glance back to the starts
"You'll still be there for him, you're his brother, nothings going to change that and I promise to take care of him while your gone"
"Thanks Kai, I owe you one, anyway we better get Tyson inside before he gets sick" Hiro got up and picked his brother up to take him into their tent. As he did so Tyson wrapped his arms around Hiro's neck subconsciously and snuggled into the extra warmth. Hiro smiled and tightened his grip, taking him into the tent with Kai following behind.
It was just after noon, all of the children were out the back playing or helping to clean up from the night before, all but three boys, whom sat on the front porch waiting for someone.
Tyson sat in between Kai and Hiro, trying not to let his tears fall as he tightly griped his brothers hand as if he was going to die. They'd been sitting there since after breakfast, in silence except for the occasional sniffle or sigh.
A sudden squeak from the front gate made the boys look up to see a young couple walk up to the orphanage, smiling at them as they entered the front door.
"Is… is that them?" Tyson whispered
"Yeh, that's them" Hiro replied sadly.
Tyson couldn't keep control of his tears as they began to fall. He gripped his brothers hand tighter, if possible "I don't want you to go"
Hiro pulled Tyson into a hug "I have to Tyson, but I'll be back one day ok"
Tyson nodded against Hiro as more tears fell.
Hiro glanced over to Kai, seeing unshed tears forming in his eyes; he loosened his grip on Tyson, motioning Kai to join them. Kai joined the two brothers as his tears now fell.
"We'll miss you Hiro" Tyson whispered
"I'll miss you both too, remember to look out for each other ok"
The two boys nodded, tear stained cheeks glistening in the sunshine.
"Hiro!" someone called from inside.
The three boys broke apart as the owner of the voice, Miss Kira, and the couple wondered outside.
"Oh there you are, it's time to go now" Miss Kira said, upon finding the three boys.
Hiro turned around and gave Tyson a hug "You be careful ok, and no getting into trouble" Hiro pulled back to see his brothers tear stained face as he nodded his response "that's my little brother" he replied, smiling.
He then walked over to Kai embracing him in a hug as well "Take care of Tyson for me ok and try and keep him out of trouble" he released his grip on Kai.
"I promise" the smaller boy replied.
"Thanks Kai, take care little buddy" Hiro smiled as he stood up to join his new parents.
As they were half way out the front gate Tyson broke down into tears and started to run after his brother.
Kai ran after Tyson and caught him at the gate. Tyson tried to pull away but Kai just tightened his grip. The two boys watched as Hiro got into a silver car and got driven away.
"HIRO!" Tyson cried out, as he pulled harder to get out of Kai's grasp.
Kai pulled Tyson into a hug as they sank to the ground, Tyson crying into Kai's shoulder whilst gripping his shirt like it was the last thing on earth.
They sat there for a few hours, just sitting at the front gate, kai embracing a whimpering Tyson.
Meanwhile…
"Ring, ring" the orphanage phone rang out. Miss Kira picked it up to answer it.
"Hello, Miss Kira speaking"
"What… already?…
Yay chapter 3 is done.
Thanks Tibercubis and Kais the best for reviewing.
Chapter 4 will be up in a few days hopefully. It will definitely be up by the end of the week.
