CWG: Okay sorry, I was trying to think up new ideas for my sequel and this ending. After a LONG delay (which I'm extremely sorry about) I've finally decided on a few good ideas that I hope you all will enjoy. I hate to say that I'm going to have to postpone the whole happy ending for a while. Sorry…
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN BEYBLADE OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT MY OWN. (Loki and Sora)
Enjoy…

Kai waited on the beach in front of the small crowd of familiar faces. Tala nudged his arm lightly but hard enough to get the boy's attention. Kai glanced in confusion at his best man and noticed him and Bryan standing calmly and smiling slightly back at him. Kai couldn't help but smile slightly as well when he recognized their attempt to give him some encouragement and support.
After glancing into the crowd again Kai noticed everyone gasp in excitement as the music started. Kai's attention was immediately pulled towards the beautiful figure walking down the beach happily.
Hilary was wearing a long white dress that fit her petite form like a glove. She carried a beautiful bouquet of roses, lilies, and baby's breath. Her hair was pulled into ponytails with white ribbons and she had a veil with floral embroidery. Kai watched as Emily and Mariah walked behind her excitedly holding smaller bouquets and wearing matching dresses. The two girls both had baby blue dresses and silver ribbons in their hair.
All together Kai couldn't help but notice how much more beautiful Hilary was compared to the other two girls. He stared at his fiancé in awe as she stood next to him. Hilary's mahogany eyes seemed to smile in confusion at the boy.
Loki and Sora both walked anxiously towards the couple holding the rings. The twins were smiling and seemed to almost run over to Kai and Hilary. Kai was brought out of his trance and smiled at the girl of his dreams as he recited his vows in front of the crowd. Hilary smiled at him as she began to recite her own vows and before long the priest said the words they were waiting patiently to hear.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The man said smiling slightly when the newlyweds practically jumped at each other. The crowd cheered in happiness as the two kissed. Kai could hear Kenny crying with Max and Ray trying to comfort the two. Tala and Bryan smiled brightly at them and clapped while Mariah and Emily smiled patiently.
Kai laughed slightly when he heard Loki and Sora pretend to gag at the sight of the kiss, but didn't stop. Soon after the whole ceremony was over Hilary and Kai were able to leave for the after party. As they left Kai couldn't help but notice Tala answer his cell phone behind the crowd of people who were now saying goodbye. He watched curiously as Tala's facial expression changed and Bryan began to talk to him seriously.
Kai carried Hilary to the car but couldn't get the horrible feeling in his heart that something was up. He closed his crimson eyes and shook his head fiercely as he decided to push the feelings from his mind.

As time passed Hilary and Kai were able to spend more time together. When they talked to Mr. Dickenson about their honeymoon they were happy to hear that they were going to go all around the world.
They left on their trip soon after and didn't return for nearly two months. When they returned to Japan they were greeted at the airport by the Blade Breakers and Mariah. They stayed at Tyson's dojo and soon realized how much had changed while they were gone.
Tyson had obviously moved on and was now dating a girl named Samantha, who was apparently Max's cousin. Ray and Mariah had finally gotten engaged and were still planning their marriage. Hilary and Kai spent the night talking with their friends before they realized that Mr. Dickenson hadn't come with the twins.
Hilary looked over at the phone expectantly and Kai knew she was itching to call the man. He placed a hand on her shoulder before going over to the phone. He dialed the number of the BBA office and a woman answered.
"BBA main office, how may I help you?" the woman asked politely. Kai asked for Mr. Dickenson and the woman transferred him directly to the man's office.
"Hello, Stanley Dickenson speaking." Kai recognized the jolly voice instantly.
"Hello, Mr. Dickenson? It's Kai. I was wondering where the twins are. Could I talk to them?" Kai spoke slowly as a familiar feeling came to his heart.
"Well actually Kai, they don't live here anymore. I thought you knew…"Mr. Dickenson replied. Kai could hear the confusion in his voice as he explained, "Kai, Hilary's father came by while you two where away. He has custody over the boy's now. He said he would try to contact Hilary, but I can see that he didn't speak with her yet."
Kai could feel his grip loosen on the phone as he gaped in shock. Gone. The word seemed to echo in his mind as he thought about what was being said.
"Kai?" The man's voice broke through Kai's thoughts and brought him out of his trance.
"Yeah, I'm still here." Kai's voice seemed broken and he didn't even recognize it.
"Look, I know this is hard to understand but he really is a good man. He isn't like her. Really Kai I promise, this time they are safe." Mr. Dickenson assured, "Look Kai, you can have the number if you'd like, ♦♦♦3457, go ahead and call them up. They'd love to hear from you. Good bye Kai." As the man finished his sentence Kai could hear him hang up the phone.
Kai's crimson eyes seemed to go blank slightly as he began to dial the phone again, this time calling the number he was just given. It rang three times before a man answered. Kai was reluctant to speak as the man spoke.
"Hello?" the voice spoke as it began to get aggravated by the silence.
"Hello, this is Kai Hiwatari. I was hoping that I could speak with Sora or Loki." Kai stated clearly. He could hear the man pause slightly before calling to the boys. Kai was relieved to hear Loki laughing in the background as Sora answered the phone.
"KAI!!" the boy yelled happily.
"Hey Sora. How've you been?" Kai asked quietly. He could hear Loki talking to his dad about something along the lines of homework as Sora began to recite everything that had happened while they were gone.
"Kai, when are you and Hil coming to visit us?" the boy asked.
"We were hoping to see you tonight. But we'll try to visit soon, alright? I'm going to put your sister on the phone now okay?" Kai walked over to where his wife was sitting and handed her the phone. When she finally heard the small voice on the other end her eyes lit up.
"Hey Sora. How are you doing? Are you being good?" she asked. Kai let her talk to her brother as he walked back over to the gang.
The night continued and everyone exchanged stories from the past two months. Kai and Hilary were finally able to leave the next morning at ten o'clock. The two walked hand in hand towards Kai's apartment. Kai chose not to speak about her father and instead the two began to talk about their friends. After a while they found that there wasn't anything else to talk about and silence engulfed their conversation.
"He left. He wasn't supposed to come back." Hilary whispered finally. Kai looked at the girl sympathetically and wrapped his arms around her small frame.
"It will be alright Hilary. They are safe with him…" Kai whispered in her ear. Hilary simply nodded and Kai could see she was fighting back tears. He stopped walking and turned to face her. Hilary let her mahogany eyes rest on the ground and Kai lifted her chin so he could look into her face.
"It will be alright, Hilary." He stated confidently as he kissed the girl lightly on the forehead and then on the lips.
"I know…" Hilary replied silently as she buried her face into her husband's chest.
The two continued to walk home in silence. They barely looked at each other but anyone could see that the two were silently comforting each other. As they walked Kai noticed Hilary began to doze off slightly and yawn. He chuckled slightly and lifted his wife into his arms. She seemed to get shocked at his actions but before long she was asleep in his arms. Kai couldn't help but laugh slightly as he carried Hilary home. He scanned her peaceful features and burned the image into his memory.
When they reached the apartment building Kai carefully maneuvered through the building and up to his apartment. He was about to pull out his key when he noticed the door was unlocked and open slightly.
Kai glared slightly in confusion at the door as he placed Hilary in a more comfortable position. He kicked the door lightly as the door swung open. He walked cautiously into the room and placed Hilary lightly on the couch. He was about to stand up again when he heard the door close behind him. Kai instantly spun around in shock as he was met with a horrible sight.
"Tala…?" Kai choked as he took in his friend's appearance. Tala's brilliant red hair was matted and thrown around loosely. His blue eyes seemed dim and faded while his clothes were ragged and torn. Kai stared in awe as his friend seemed to limp towards him.
"Kai, he's back." Tala managed to whisper as he collapsed to the ground.
