Foreva Friends
(Don't own Beyblade)Chapter 13-
"Kai, where are we going?" Tyson asked quietly
"I'm taking you home" Kai replied
Tyson stopped abruptly, shaking his head.
"Tyson?"
Tyson fell to the ground, tightly closing his eyes as tears began to form in his yes, "I don't want to go back, I can't… not yet" he whispered
Kai knelt down next to the crying teen, "Tyson, what happened?"
Tyson looked up at Kai, "Gramps…he…" more tears fell from his eyes.
Kai knew what Tyson was trying to say and pulled the boy into an embrace.
-----
Tyson looked up at the setting sun. He had stopped crying a few hours ago after telling Kai what had happened that morning. He sighed sadly realising they had been there all day. "Sorry" he whispered to the boy sitting next to him.
Kai shifted his glance over to Tyson, "What for?"
"For making you waste your day listening to me cry like an idiot…" Tyson answered sadly, watching the scenery before him
"You didn't make me do anything Tyson, I chose to say and you're not an idiot for crying about your grandfather, so don't put yourself down about it, ok"
Tyson nodded silently.
Kai sighed, "Come on, it's getting late and your brother is probably worried about you" Kai stood up and extended his hand to help Tyson up.
"Yeah, I guess your right" Tyson replied, taking Kai's hand.
"You don't have to walk me home, you've already done heaps already for me" Tyson stated as they walked along the street towards the Dojo
"I don't mind, besides that guy from this morning could still be around" Kai replied
Tyson sadly smiled a thank you as they continued on their way in silence.
Once outside the Dojo Kai stopped, "I should get going"
Tyson looked back at Kai, "K, Thanks for everything today…"
Kai smiled before walking down the street.
"Oh, Kai…" Tyson called
Kai stopped and looked back "Yeah?"
"Can you not tell anyone about this morning…?"
"Sure, see you later" Kai replied before continuing on his way.
Tyson turned back and walked through the front door.
"Tyson is that you!" Hiro called out
"Yeah" Tyson replied walking into the living room
"Tyson!" Max called out running up to the boy and hugging him
"Hey Max" Tyson returned the hug
"Are you ok, we were worried about you" Ray asked coming into the room with Hiro
"Yeah… I just needed some time to think, I'm sorry for making you worry"
"It's ok, we're just glad you're alright. Did you want something to eat or anything?" Hiro asked
"No thanks, I'm just going to go sleep"
"Ok, we should get going, so we'll see you tomorrow" Ray replied giving Tyson a hug
"Yeah" Tyson replied returning the hug before releasing Ray.
"See ya Tyson" Max said, also hugging the teen
"Bye Max" Tyson replied.
Hiro and Tyson walked the two teens to the door.
"If you need anything don't hesitate to ring us" Ray said
"Thanks guys" Hiro replied
Ray and Max smiled sadly before walking down the path.
Hiro shut the front door before turning around to Tyson, "Are you sure you're ok…?"
"Yeah, just a little tired is all" Tyson replied
"K then, I'll see you tomorrow morning"
Tyson nodded before heading to his room.
Hiro sighed before doing the same.
----- With Kai -----
Kai entered the house, quietly shutting the door behind him before quietly making his way towards his room.
"Where the hell have you been?" Tala asked standing in his bedroom doorway.
"I told you I was going out"
"You went to see Tyson didn't you" Tala whispered
"No and it's none of you business where I go or what I do, so drop it"
"Kai, I'm only looking out for you, if Voltaire finds out you have feelings for Tyson---"
"He won't find out because it's not true and I am quiet capable of looking after myself" with that Kai walked past Tala and went to his room.
Tala sighed before going back into his room.
-----
The next few days went by quickly. Kai always snuck out before dawn to meet up with Tyson, spending their time together at the same spot, causing them to become closer. Meanwhile the others -minus Tala- planned Gramps' funeral and Tyson's surprise birthday party.
---The day of the funeral----
Kai as usual was up early, getting ready to sneak out again.
Suddenly his bedroom door opened and Tala walked in before shutting the door quietly.
"Tala, what the hell are you doing here"
"Looking out for you" Tala replied
"I told you, I don't need you to look out for me" Kai replied, annoyed
"Voltaire's been asking questions on your where abouts" Tala stated, ignoring Kai's response
"What did you tell him?" Kai asked, worried
"That you were training"
Kai sighed in relief, "Thanks"
Tala moved over towards the bed and sat down, "Kai, tell me what's going on, you've been sneaking out ever since that argument, and if I'm going to keep lying for you I think I deserve to know why…"
Kai sighed and broke the eye contact.
"Have you been going to see him?"
Kai looked down at the ground, "yeah…"
"Why, what about our mission"
"I don't know…" Kai told Tala about what happened that day.
Tala frowned, "That still doesn't explain why you hang out with him, and if it were anyone else you would have told them to get lost…"
"I don't know… I'm so confused at the moment. It's like I'm drawn to him and I have to protect him, as stupid as that sounds, it's how I feel and I don't understand why but while I have this feeling I don't want anything to happen to him, so I'm not continuing with the mission" Kai explained
Tala sighed "Oh Kai, you know what Voltaire would do if he found out about this"
Kai looked up at Tala, "I know, but I can't help how I feel, sorry"
"It's ok and I know that there isn't a chance in hell that your going to change your mind so I won't bother trying…I guess you have my support but on one condition, You have to still act like your still in on the mission, I don't want you to get hurt because of Tyson ok"
"Ok, Thanks Tala" Kai smiled
"Ok, now that that's out the way, what are you up to today?"
"Today is Tyson's Grandfather's funeral"
"Oh… give me a few minutes and I'll go with you, that way Voltaire won't get suspicious ad we'll be there for Tyson" Tala replied heading to the door.
-----
Tyson
watched as people set up for the funeral ceremony, tears in the
corners of his eyes.
Kai and Tala walked up to Hiro and the 2 teens, a few meters behind Tyson.
"Hey guys" Max greeted
"Hey, how is he?" Tala asked as they watched him.
"We don't know, he won't talk to us" Hiro explained as they walked up to Tyson
"Tyson, Kai and Tala are here"
Tyson turned to face them.
"Hey Tyson, sorry for you lose" Tala hugged the teen.
"Thanks Tala" Tyson whispered
Tala released the boy and smiled sadly, letting Kai embrace the teen before the ceremony started.
A lot of people showed up, all close friends of Gramps. Hiro left the group to greet the new arrivals.
After the ceremony the group of people scattered.
Tyson remained standing at the new tombstone.
"We should head back to the dojo, it's been a long day" Hiro said
"I'm staying a little longer, you guys go on ahead" Tyson replied
"You can't stay all alone Tyson, we'll stay until your ready to leave" Ray replied
"No, I just need time alone…" with that Tyson ran off, leaving the others in shock from his sudden outburst.
"Tyson!" Max called, about to run after him.
Kai grabbed his arm, "I'll go, you guys head back, and we'll meet you there later"
The others nodded, turning to leave.
Kai ran after Tyson.
Tyson had stopped at their meeting place. Kai walked up to him, standing behind the teen.
"Sorry for running off…" Tyson whispered sadly, hugging his knees
"You don't have to apologise Tyson, everyone needs time alone" Kai replied sitting next to Tyson.
"Are they annoyed…?" Tyson looked over at Kai
"No, they're just worried about you"
They sat there in silence for a few hours. The sun began to set over the lake in front of them.
"Thanks for coming today Kai" Tyson stated leaning on Kai's shoulder.
"I wouldn't be anywhere else" Kai whispered, putting his arm around Tyson's shoulders.
Tyson closed his eyes, letting sleep over come him.
Kai glanced down at Tyson noticing he was asleep.
"Tyson, come on wake up" Kai shook the teen
Tyson groaned a little, moving to get more comfortable.
As he moved his necklace became loose and fell into Kai's lap.
Kai picked it up 'What's this?' he thought to himself as he inspected it. 'It looks so familiar…' he thought as images from the past flew through his mind. Shaking his head he placed the necklace in one of Tyson's jacket pockets before picking the teen up bridal style and heading over to the dojo.
Once he arrived at the dojo he shifted Tyson, managing to free one hand to knock on the front door before shifting Tyson back to his original position.
The door opened a few seconds later.
"Hey Kai, thanks for looking out for him and bringing him home" Hiro said, taking Tyson from Kai
"It's ok. What's the plan for tomorrow?"
"Well, the others are arriving at 7:30 to set up, so you come pick Tyson up before they arrive and bring him home around 2, that when the others are arriving" Hiro explained
"Ok, see you tomorrow then" Kai replied
"Yeah and thanks again Kai, you've helped Tyson a lot these last few days"
Kai smiled before leaving.
-----
The next morning Hiro had somehow managed to get Tyson up and ready before 7.
Around five past 7, someone knocked at the door.
"Tyson, Kai's here" Hiro called
Tyson walked into the room, "Hey Kai"
"Hey, you ready to go?" Kai asked
Tyson nodded before they both walked out of the dojo.
A few minutes later the other 3 teens arrived at the dojo. Hiro let them in and they got started on setting up for the party.
----
A little later Tyson and Kai came out from the cinema after deciding to go see a movie. They were now just wondering the streets.
"Kai?" Tyson asked quietly
"Yeah…"
"You remember that guy from the other morning… did you recognize him?"
"…Not really, something about him was familiar but I was to busy thinking about protecting you to notice, why?"
Tyson sighed sadly, "No reason"
There were a few moments of silence between the two before Kai decided to break it.
"Have… we met him before…, some of the things he said confused me…?"
Tyson thought for a moment, "…I'm not sure if I can answer that, someone told me that when someone loses their memory they have to remember themselves…"
"So we have met him before…?" Kai asked, still a little confused
"I can't tell you…" Tyson replied
"I'm not stupid Tyson; just tell me if I'm right or not"
Tyson sighed, "Fine, yes we have met him before"
"Then I've met you before I got transferred here to then" Kai replied, slowly putting the pieces together
"Yeah"
"Were we close…?"
"Kai" Tyson wined
"Sorry, I just want to know"
"Fine, we were. Why?"
"Ever since I met you I've been feeing these weird feelings and they get stronger when I'm around you, then there are these dreams and these random things I remember from when I was a kid that don't make sense, but anyway when I'm around you it's like you're the most important person in my life…"
Tyson smiled, "That's how I feel about you to"
Kai smiled and took Tyson's hand, "Come on we better head back"
------
At the dojo the last of the guests had arrived.
"Ok guys, they'll be back any minute, get into your positions" Hiro called
Everyone scattered, hiding behind the furniture.
A few minutes later they heard the front door open.
"Hiro, you here?" Tyson called out, walking into the living room
"SURPRISE!" everyone jumped up from their positions.
"Whoa…" Tyson blinked, speechless
"Happy Birthday Tyson" Kai said from behind Tyson
"You guys…planned all this just for me"
"Of course Tyson" Ray replied, coming up to him with the other 3 following
Tyson jumped up with excitement, hugging the group, "Thank you guys so much"
Everyone laughed as someone turned on the music to get the party rolling.
-----
Everyone was having a good time smiling and having fun talking, dancing, and eating.
Suddenly the Dojo door was heard being open and shut, everyone looked over at the entrance, when someone gasped…
"Lee…?"
Ok, it's finally done. Sorry it took so long, it was supposed to be up last week but I got bombed with a pile of school work. Anyway I made this chapter longer because I dunno when I'll be able to update again with the end of year exams coming up, but as soon as there done, I'll update. Thanks to everyone that reviews, I love reading them.
