Foreva Friends
(Don't own Beyblade)Chapter 7-
"Tyson, wow you've grown up a lot since I last saw you" Hiro stated as he hugged his younger brother
"I missed you"
"I missed you too little bro…" he looked up at Kai "Kai, how have you guys been?" he released his little brother
"Great, we're on our way to school" Tyson replied, his voice full of happiness
"Oh well I better let you go then, I'll meet you after school and we'll catch up then ok" Hiro suggested
"Ok, meet us outside the school so we can find you ok"
"Ok, see you guys then" Hiro replied before waving them off
"See ya" Tyson waved back before continuing his way with Kai to school.
The day went by pretty slowly which annoyed Tyson cause he wanted to see his brother. At the end of the day Tyson met Kai in their usual meeting place and went out to find Hiro. Hiro was where Tyson had told him to meet them and they were soon at a small café.
"So what have you been up to, Hiro?" Kai asked focussing on the boy sitting across from them
"Nothing much really, after I was adopted I lived with Mr and Mrs Granger, we lived happily together for about a year and then Mr Granger had to travel across the world for his job. Mrs Granger and I stayed behind, about 9 months ago she got a phone call saying that her husband had an accident and died in an avalanche. She couldn't take it and she was drunk most of the time. She used to go out to nightclubs and come back drunk early in the mornings. One morning she didn't wake up, I called the ambulance and at the hospital she died. They told me she died of a drug over does. I was then sent to live with Mr Granger's father, and have lived there ever since. He lives not to far from here so I decided to skip school for the day and come down here, which I'm glad I did" Hiro explained
"Whoa" was the only thing Tyson could say
"Sorry Hiro, I didn't mean to make you remember all of that," Kai added
"It doesn't really bother me, I wasn't really close to them" Hiro replied
The sun began to set outside.
"Well I better be going, Gramps likes me home before dark"
"Ok, we better be going to" Kai stated as they began to get up
"I'll walk you to the orphanage I have to go that way too" Hiro replied
"Cool, can you come visit us tomorrow?" Tyson asked as they walked out of the café, Tyson and Kai hand in hand
Hiro smiled "Sure, but first I wanna know more bout what you guys been up to"
Kai and Tyson filled Hiro in as they made their way to the orphanage.
"I'll come round about noon, Gramps wants me to do some stuff round the Dojo in the morning" Hiro announced as they arrived at the orphanage
"Ok, we'll see you then" Tyson hugged his brother goodbye
"See ya Kai and thanks again" Hiro released his brother
"No problem, see ya" Kai smiled
Hiro walked towards the Dojo while Tyson and Kai entered the orphanage.
"Kai, I need to speak with you" Mr Kaui said upon their entrance
"Um, ok" Kai replied turning around to Tyson "You go on, I'll meet you in a bit"
Tyson nodded and walked off to their room.
Kai turned back to Mr Kaui "What is it that you need to tell me, sir?"
"I had a phone call while you were out, a Mr Voltaire Hiwatari would like to adopt you, he will be coming to sign the forms and collect you tomorrow before noon. I want you to have packed all of your stuff and be ready by then, is that understood?" Mr Kaui explained
Kai nodded his head slowly, the new information just sinking in.
"Good, now go" he ordered
Kai silently obeyed, walking ever so slowly towards the bedroom, a million questions filling his head. One stood out more then the rest; how was he going to tell Tyson?
He took a deep breath letting it out slowly, trying to control his emotions he opened the door to meet with a concerned 7yr old boy.
"What happened, what did he want, is something wrong, did he hurt you?" Tyson bombarded Kai with questions
Kai closed his eyes and shook his head before opening his eyes again and smiled "He just wanted to know why we were late and where we were" Kai lied
Tyson sighed, relief washing over him "That's ok then, I thought something bad happened" Tyson went over and hugged Kai
Kai hugged the boy back, tears forming in his eyes he fought to keep them back.
They stood like that for what seemed like hours but was merely a few minutes.
Kai released Tyson, trying to avoid eye contact he moved over to his bed "You can go for your shower first"
"…O-k…" Tyson noticed his friends change in attitude "Are you ok Kai, you're acting a little weird?"
Kai glanced up a little "Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired is all"
"Ok then, but remember that if you ever need to talk bout anything I'm right here ok" Tyson stated
Kai smiled "Yeah I know"
Tyson smiled back before grabbing his stuff and heading to the bathroom.
Once Kai heard the door click he got off his bed and grabbed his bag, packing his stuff quickly before Tyson came out. When he was done he stuffed the bag under his bed and returned to his previous position on the bed. A few moments later the sound of the bathroom door opening snapped Kai out of his thoughts.
Tyson came into the room smiling.
Kai wondered why Tyson looked so happy so he decided to ask "Why are you so happy?"
Tyson looked over at Kai "Well why shouldn't I be, my life is perfect again, now that Hiro's back I have the two people that matter most to me here" Tyson answered cheerfully
Kai felt his heart drop slightly but tried not to show it "Well I'm glad you're happy" Kai replied before grabbing his stuff and moving to the bathroom
Tyson frowned slightly at his friends retreating form 'I wounder why he's acting so differently all of a sudden, he was fine this afternoon' Tyson pounded on the thought.
Kai emerged from the bathroom moment's later "You ready?" he asked
Tyson sighed "Yeah" he replied dejectedly as the two boys walked out to the dinning room
Tyson kept a close eye on Kai through out dinner 'he's not talking to me, he won't even look at me, maybe I did something, but what?' Tyson thought sadly to himself
After dinner the two boys walked silently back to their room and got ready for bed. The whole time Tyson watched Kai through the corner of his eye, Kai didn't even say goodnight to him before hopping into his bed.
Tyson began to get worried but didn't want to be annoying and ask what was wrong so he decided to leave it for the night and ask him tomorrow. His head had other ideas though and kept him awake trying to think of why Kai was acting this way.
Tyson glanced at the clock; 10:47 it read. He sighed and rolled over trying to get to sleep.
Unknown to him Kai was also awake "Can't sleep?" he asked
Tyson looked startled over to Kai "Yeah, sorry did I wake you?"
Kai sighed, "No, I can't sleep either"
"Can I ask you something Kai?" Tyson asked, his voice laced with sadness and worry
Kai sat up a bit and frowned, noticing the tone of his friends voice "Come over here" Kai turned on the lamp
Tyson obeyed and hoped off his bed and walked over to Kai's bed, sitting on the edge.
"What's on your mind?" Kai asked moving so he could face Tyson
"Um…I was wondering if I… did something…to annoy you" Tyson whispered, avoiding eye contact
Kai couldn't believe what he just heard "What makes you say that?"
Tyson took his gaze to the floor "Well you haven't looked or talked to me all night and you've been acting strangely, so I just assumed I did something wrong" Tyson explained
Kai lifted Tyson's chin locking their eyes "You didn't do anything wrong, I'm sorry if it looked like that, I've just had a lot on my mind is all"
Tyson still felt a little worried "I understand, I'm sorry to have bothered you" he replied starting to get off the bed
Kai noticed the sadness in his voice and grabbed his arm "Tyson you're never a bother…"
Tyson looked back over his shoulder at Kai, the sadness still dwelling in his eyes.
"Come sleep next to me" Kai motioned Tyson onto the bed next to him
Tyson hoped back on the bed and laid down next to Kai
Kai pulled the covers up over them and turned the lamp off before getting comfortable "I'm sorry to have worried you Ty"
Tyson snuggled into Kai "It's ok Kai, it's just that I don't know what I'd do if you were angry with me"
"I'd never be able to be angry with you…" Kai wrapped his arm around Tyson's waist "I love you Ty" he whispered
Tyson smiled against his chest "I love you to Kai" he whispered back as he closed his eyes.
