Mint: Howdy! And, welcome back to In a World with You! (Throws confetti)
Kai: (o.O) Where did you get that from?
Mint: (Grins wickedly) Oh, Kai, haven't you noticed you're missing a shirt?
Kai: (o.o) You didn't . . .
Mint: Uh . . . Ray! I'm leaving the warnings up to you!
Ray: Sure, but you're going to have to face him sometime. There is yaoi (boy and boy), language, violence, death, and male pregnancy. Speaking of which . . . Who is getting pregnant? (.)
Mint: You're on for the disclaimer, Maxie!
Max: Are you sure you should be ignoring them like that?
Mint: (Glances at an angry Kai and Ray) Hurry, Max! My life depends on it!
Max: Well, okay . . . Mint does not, and will never, own us or Beyblade or The Great Demon Kingdom OR Kyo Kara Maoh.
Tyson: Enough, Mint! Just tell me who is getting pregnant!
Mint: Didn't you read the last chapter? You should have an idea. And, I won't tell who else is. (. Runs from angry Bladebreakers) Enjoy the stoooooooorrrrrryyyyy! (Echoes)
Mint's dog: Here are some thanks!
bunnykim89: Thank you for reading my story! I just knew it was going to be a good idea to make Tyson Kai's queen. (Evil grin)
RobbXmonXlover: Thanks for another review! I wondered if people saw that coming. (XD) The great King Kai and his lovely Queen Tyson! I hope I can continue to impress. (Hugs)
Susan-Sue: Thank you kindly for another review. Doesn't Kai make an awesome king? And, Tyson will be the perfect queen for him! (=D)

Chapter 3: Love and Surprises
Kai paused. There was only one- or two- more things he had to ask his now lover. "Tyson, will," he hesitated. "Will you marry me and carry our child?" There! I said it. I hope I wasn't too blunt . . . "Uh . . . Tyson? Are you alright? Tyson!" He shook the bluenette gently. "Shit! I think he went into shock. TYSON!"
Tyson sat there, speechless. He had no idea what to say. He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs "YES!" and kiss Kai all over, but he was also a little afraid at the idea of . . . Wait, I'm a guy! How can I carry a baby? "S-so soon?" he managed to squeak out.
"I know. It is really soon. But, I can't wait any longer. I love you and I want you to belong to only me. Not to mention, time is running out. Boris will make his move soon. I need you, Tyson."
Tyson regained his composure. "I love you too, Kai, and I want to help you. Who is Boris, anyway?" he asked, forgetting about the baby question for the moment.
"Boris is an evil man who has been after my rank ever since I was born. Sadly, he is close to the family. Well, more like close to the previous king. I hate that man." Tyson could almost see the dual-haired king seethe in anger.
"So he could take the throne just by being friends with your father?"
"Not my father, my grandfather. My father never had the chance to be crowned. He died after my mother gave birth to me. Then, my mother died . . ."
Tears began to form in the bluenette's eyes. "Oh, Kai, I'm so sorry! I didn't know . . ." He reached over and pulled his king into his arms. Kai's eyes widened, but he slowly closed them and leaned into the embrace, resting his head on his love's chest. He could hear the soft pounding of the bluenette's heart.
After a few minutes of listening to the sweet beat, Kai straightened again, not liking being in a weak state. But, I didn't mind him seeing me like that . . . He then had an idea. He got on his knees and kneeled before Tyson. He fished a small box out of his pocket, on that he received when he was younger for a moment like this, and raised it to his sweet bluenette. "Tyson. Forget about Boris. Think of only my love for you when you answer, and answer truthfully." He could see his love's eyes widen. "Tyson Granger, will you marry me?"
The tears in Tyson's eyes began to spill over. He began to shake, overjoyed at what his love was asking him. He did not hesitate, not even for a second, when he answered. "Yes, Kai Hiwatari! I would love to marry you!" he leaped from the couch, tackled Kai to the floor, and wrapped his arms around his king's neck. Kai responded by wrapping his own arms around his fiancé's waist.
Snickering could be heard outside of the door to the living room. "Finally! Took them long enough!" Max exclaimed as he clung to Ray, his lover.
"Seriously," Ray said and chuckled while holding his precious Max.
"Sooo . . . When are we getting married, Ray?"
The cat-like-demon blushed slightly. "I told you, soon. It is tradition to wed in my own home town, remember? And we've been busy helping Kai . . ."
The door suddenly swung open, revealing a rather annoyed Kai and a very happy Tyson. "Why don't you two just go back to Ray's home town for a while instead of eavesdropping? Like, now?" Kai suggested. Kind of.
Max was about to protest but halted by Ray's hand flying over his mouth. "Yes, your highness! As you wish, your highness!" he said, realizing what Kai was really doing. "Let's go pack, Maxie." Ray began to drag a struggling Max away, paused for a moment to mouth a "thank you" to the king, and walked away with his fiancé.
"Uh . . ." Tyson tried to get his king's attention. "Kai?"
Kai looked at his lover with a worried expression. "What is it, Ty?" he asked gently.
"In here!" the bluenette said quickly while dragging Kai back into the living room and slamming the door shut behind them. "Now, about what you said . . . You know, about me carrying our child?" A faint blushed made its way onto his face as he asked.
Kai's eyes widened, and he pulled Tyson back onto the couch they had occupied earlier. "Yes, I almost forgot . . . I want you to carry our child and heir to the throne," he said as if it was a perfectly normal thing to say.
"Uh, I would love to, but there is one problem. I'm a guy."
"Yes, Tyson, I know you're a guy. Here, in The Great Demon Kingdom, there are many same sex couples, compared to your Earth. It is a natural thing here. And, for those couples who want a child, the uke partner can undergo a surgery to make such a thing possible. Tyson?" He waved a hand in front of the bluenette's face, whom was in a daze.
"Ah!" Tyson jumped suddenly. "Sorry. It's just a little hard to fathom . . ."
"You don't have to agree now. You can think about it first, if you would like."
"Nope!" Kai looked surprised at his fiancé. "I don't need to think about anything, Kai. I love you so much, and I would be happy to carry our baby." Even Kai, a usually stoic person, felt excited at his lover's words. He pulled him into his arms and onto his lap. The bluenette snuggled into his king's chest, feeling butterflies flutter in the pit of his stomach. Kai lowered his head so he could place his lips on the sweet addiction known as Tyson's lips.
. . .
"Damn! Why'd you drag me away, Ray?" Max was sitting on their bed, pouting, while Ray packed.
Ray glanced at his lover and laughed. "I wanted to get you out of there before you said something to make King Kai change his mind." He smirked. Kai sure was clever . . .
"Change his mind? What do you mean . . . Oh. OH!" Max finally understood what Kai really did. "You mean Kai did that so we could go back to your home town and get married, didn't he?"
"Now you got it, Maxie!" Ray continued to laugh as he dodged a pillow.
"Hmph!" Max crossed his arms and hid his grin.
Ray finished his packing and started packing his fiancé's belongings. "You could help, you know," he teased.
"Yeah, I know I could." Max gave his lover a devilish grin.
"Max, are we gonna try after we get married?" the raven haired boy asked with a small blush.
"Try? Oh, yeah . . ." the blond looked to the ground, avoiding eye contact. "I have a confession, Ray. I'm . . ." He took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." Ray stared at his lover for a few minutes before collapsing onto the floor. "Ray! RAY! Wake up!" Max rushed to his fiancé's side and tapped his cheek lightly. "Answer me!" Tears began to fall from his eyes. "Ray . . ."
Ray's eyes snapped open. "Ugh . . ."
"Ray! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Maxie. But, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I, I didn't want to worry you. I know Kai's been giving you a lot of work lately, what with the attacks on the kingdom and all." The blond gave a sheepish grin.
"Oh, Max, don't worry about me. How long have you known?"
"For a few months now." Max lifted his rather larger than usual shirt to reveal his slightly round stomach.
Ray's eyes widened as he reached up and lightly placed his hand on his love's stomach. "I never want you to keep anything this important from me again, okay? Even if I'm busy and completely stressed out," he said with a gentle voice. He was not happy about being kept in the dark, but he wasn't mad either. It was too hard for him to be mad at the blond.
More tears escaped Max's eyes. "Don't worry, baby, I will never do that to you again." He held his 'kitty' close, and Ray wrapped his arms around his lover.
. . .
"Kai, aren't we going to their wedding?" Tyson asked as they waited to say goodbye to their best friends in the dining hall. They had just finished eating lunch. He asked Kai why he was sending them away, and Kai told him the truth.
"We can throw them a party when they get back. For now, I need to worry about you. Your surgery is tomorrow." The bluenette blushed when his king reminded him.
"Fine, but the party better be big!"
Kai sighed and said, "Of course."
"Hey guys!" Tyson and Kai turned around when they heard a certain blond call to them.
"Hey!" the bluenette greeted back. He paused for a moment when he noticed their expressions. "You guys look happy!"
"Of course I'm happy. Max just gave me the best news ever. Although, it is a little late . . ." Ray smiled slightly at his fiancé.
"Oh! What is it?" Tyson probed, very curious now.
"Well . . . We're going to have a baby!" Max confessed. Tyson's mouth dropped. "Ty? You okay?"
"WHOA! Congrats, buddy!" the bluenette gave his best friend a hug.
Kai just made his "Hn" sound while hiding his smirk.
"So when is the baby due?" Tyson asked anxiously.
"In about seven months. I still have a ways to go."
"Come on Max, we better get going if we want to make it before night fall. I really miss cars at times like these . . ." Ray sighed heavily, remembering how easy it was to go from place to place on Earth. Max giggled and nodded.
"See you guys after the wedding!" the bluenette called after his friends as they walked away. "And good luck!"
Kai stood behind his lover and wrapped his arms around his waist, bringing him close. "Finally, I have you all to myself."
Tyson giggled and replied, "Sorry to make you wait, my king." Kai smirked at the 'nickname' his love gave him. Many people called him "my king" or "your majesty", but the bluenette said the word "my" almost possessively.
"Come on. I want to go where no one can bother us." Kai led his fiancé along a brick pathway. There was a nice breeze going and flower petals littered the path. Tyson's eyes widened when they came to a halt at a huge garden. "This," the dual-haired king gestured toward the flowered and green area, "is my private garden." He gently pulled his bluenette to a little lover's bench in the middle of the area, which was shaded by surrounding trees.
"Kai . . . This is amazing!" Tyson jumped into his love's lap and clung to him. He kissed him on the cheek and snuggled into his king's chest.
"I knew you would like it," Kai said matter-of-factly and smirked while wrapping his arms around the bluenette's waist. He rested his head against Tyson's neck and gave butterfly kissed. He took the moaning from his partner as a good sign and began to suck on his neck lightly.
"You're highness! YOU'RE HIGHNESS! Where are you?" a voice shouted not too far away.
Grrr . . . Kai growled and yelled harshly, "I'm here! What do you want, Tala?"
"Sir, you're home!" Tala froze when he saw Tyson. "Oh, and I see you found a spouse! That's great. Now, Boris wouldn't dare take the throne." He nodded in approval. "You chose quite the looker, too."
Kai gently placed the bluenette on the bench and stood in front of him protectively. "What do you want, Tala?
The advisor laughed slightly. "You never said hi to me when you returned!"
"Hi. Now, what?" Kai snapped.
"Ouch . . ." Tala pretended to look hurt but became serious quickly. "It's about the humans. They are beginning to revolt again. What is causing them to act so hostile all of the sudden? I know we're not on good terms, but this is getting ridiculous."
Kai considered his words carefully. "I wonder . . ."
"Kai, what's going on?" Tyson asked, totally confused.
The king bent over slightly to look deep into the beautiful stormy eyes he had come to love. "Ty," he spoke gently, "I want you to go to our room and wait for me there, okay?"
The bluenette hesitated but obeyed. "Fine. Just promise me you'll come back to me safely?"
Kai nodded. "Yes. I promise."
. . .
"This is horrible . . ." Tala looked around in shock at the remnants of the small town that bordered between demon and human land. Rubble replaced houses and structures everywhere. Fire leaped at them from still burning buildings. Nothing remained intact.
"Help me!" a child screamed from underneath a small pile of burnt wood. Kai rushed to the little girl and pulled the rubbish off of her small form. "Ah!" the little girl cried and clung to the king. She continued to sob into his side.
"There, there," Tala cooed and hugged the girl, knowing that Kai was getting uncomfortable with the girl clinging to him.
"When I find out who did this to my people, they are so going to pay dearly!" the enraged king yelled.
"Your majesty, look at this!" A soldier handed a small silver pendant to Kai.
"This is," Tala began.
"I know," Kai confirmed. "Boris . . ."
Mint: Gah! Another cliffy! (Cries)
Kai: Then stop doing it! And, why did you have Tala interrupt Tyson and I? (Glares at Tala)
Tala: (O.O Steps back slowly)
Mint: No, Kai! It's not Tala's fault, it's mine! Punish me instead! (Cries harder) I'm so sorry!
Kai: (Gets ready to hurt Mint)
Mint: Uh . . . I didn't really mean that! Here! (Puts Tyson in Kai's arms)
Kai: (Makes out with Tyson)
Tyson: (Moans very loudly)
Mint: (O.O) Ooo . . . Ahhh . . .
Ray: Hey! We need to talk! (Pulls Mint aside) Why didn't you tell me Max was pregnant?
Max: And, why did you make me pregnant?
Mint: I wanted it to be a surprise and . . . You're the uke. Any more questions?
Ray and Max: (Sweat drops)
Mint: Good! (Turn attention towards the audience) Please, please, please review! See you soon!
