Mint: So, I was driving in my car the other day and this person just totally- (Rants)
Max: No way! They really did?
Mint: Yeah! I was like- (Rants more)
Tyson: You can't be serious! Why'd they do that?
Mint: I have no idea! But, it was so- (Rants even more)
Tyson and Max: No!
Mint: Yes!
Kai: (Stares) Ray, do you have any idea what they are talking about?
Ray: Nope. No clue. Should we take the warnings and disclaimer?
Kai: Hn. Mint does not own us, Beyblade, The Great Demon Kingdom, or Kyo Kara Maoh. She only owns Chris.
Ray: The warnings, like always, are yaoi (boy and boy), language, violence, death, and male pregnancy.
Mint: Then she said-
Kai: What are you talking about?
Mint: Just be patient! It's really important! And when she said that he- (Rants)
Ray: . . . I don't get it.
Kai: Can we just move on?
Mint: Oh, right! Time to thank some awesome people!
Susan-Sue: Hee hee! A drugged up Tyson is very funny. I came up with that idea when I was in the hospital one day. I got to be on morphine! (But I don't really remember what happened) All I remember is that the person next to me was also on morphine and they said something about black salt. Then again, I think I said salt first. (XD)
RobbXmonXlover: Isn't it cute? Max is a mommy and Ray is a daddy! (Snickers) As for Chris, I can't tell you! It has to be a secret, remember? (;D) (Hugs)
Kai: Finally, we can start.
Mint: Hold on! I gotta tell them!
Ray: Oh no, here we go again.
Mint: I wrote a TyKa and slight MaRe one-shot! Read it if you need your fix of TyKa and MaRe and comedy!
Kai: That was it?
Mint: Yup! Let's get started!
In a World with You

In the Last Chapter
"That's right! Just as I need you, you need me!"
'He's right. There's nothing I can do. Yet. You're going to pay one day, Boris. Cross my heart and hope to die . . .'
Chapter 8: Well, That was Unexpected
A few more months passed, and a certain bluenette was very pregnant by now. He only had one month to go before his baby would be born.
Finally, the weather started to get warmer. People started going out more often, and The Great Demon Kingdom was no longer a lonely place. One of those people outside was the demon queen.
"Ah, the air feels so nice today!" he said happily, holding his large belly as he walked along the open path to the courtyard. He came to the large area of open space, but didn't stop. Instead, he walked farther towards where the gate to the rest of the kingdom. He looked at the large gate and smiled slightly. The last time I passed through this gate was about eight months ago. Has it really been that long? He looked through the gate to see the busy people of the town. All this time, he had been cooped up on the castle grounds. I know Kai is worried about me, but I really want to go and see the rest of the kingdom. He would never take me himself . . . Then, he got a brilliant idea. He opened the gate just enough to slip through. Kai won't mind if he doesn't know, right? I'll only be gone for an hour or so . . .
Tyson looked all around him with excitement. The shops were so interesting, as were the people. People he did not even know, which was pretty much everyone, would stop to say "hello" before going back to what they were doing. Some people even stopped to congratulate him on his expected arrival.
"Oh my! You're quite young, aren't you? And you're cute! Your husband must be a very lucky man!" an old women said as he passed by.
"Uh, yeah! Thanks, ma'am!" He began to walk away, but she stopped him.
"Here, take this, it's strawberry flavored! It's on the house."
He looked at what she was offering and smiled. He took a fluffy, pink, creamy looking pastry and held it in one hand while his other hand continued to hold his stomach. "Thank you very much!" He walked away while taking small bites of the pasty. This is good! What have I been missing while in the castle? After that, many more people offered him all types of goodies. Some he had to turn down, because there was just too much to carry. "But thanks for the offer!" he would tell them.
Feeling tired, he decided to find a shady area where he could rest, which he had no problem finding. He sat down a bench that was placed close to a fountain and rested under a tree. This place is so different from Earth . . . He grinned. It's better. This is my new home, and I . . . I never want to go back to Earth. But, what about his gramps? Before leaving, he had promised to visit him whenever he could. Of course, with recent events, he never had a chance. He sighed and leaned back against the tree that was placed conveniently behind the bench just for that purpose. Soon, he found himself drifting off to sleep . . .
. . .
"Lord Boris, I just received great news!" a man exclaimed as he entered the purple haired man's room.
"What is so important that you had to disturb my peace?" Boris yelled, already annoyed.
"Sir, it's about the queen!" That got his attention.
"Well, what is it? Spit it out!"
"Sir! He has been spotted by my comrades in the marketplace. He seemed to be just walking around."
Boris chuckled. "Good! This time, I'm going to make an appearance."
"Sir? You won't send that Chris guy?"
Boris ignored the man and stood up. "Chris will be in charge while I'm gone. If he tries anything I would never do, then warn him that if he follows through, he will lose her."
"Sir?"
"He will understand." And, Boris disappeared into the shadows . . .
. . .
"Your highness? What are you doing out here?"
Tyson stirred awake when he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw Hiro staring down at him. Oh oh . . . He knows I wasn't supposed to leave the castle. "Uh, I felt like going for a walk!" Hiro raised an eyebrow at him.
"You're not supposed to leave the castle. Come on, let's go. You can walk around the castle grounds."
The bluenette frowned. "But I don't want to walk around the castle. It's so nice out here. And the people are really nice! Look what they gave me!" He showed the older man what he received.
"That's nice and all, but I'm sure King Kai is worried about you."
"Uh . . . He let me come out here!" He mentally slapped himself. Oh, yeah, like Kai would really let me come here while I'm still in danger."
"Nice try. Come on, let's go." Hiro reached out to help him up. He reached up to take his hand, but instead someone else took his hand first.
"Huh?" Tyson looked up to see that the man who grabbed his hand had purple hair. "Hello. Who are you?" He noticed that Hiro seemed frozen. "Hiro? Are you okay?"
"Hello, queen Tyson," the purple haired man spoke. Tyson's eyes widened.
I thought no one but the people from the castle know who I am.
"Let go of his majesty, Boris," Hiro threatened the man named Boris.
"Hiro? What's going on?" The bluenette began to feel afraid. Why was he feeling afraid? Suddenly, he felt very sleepy. "Hiro . . ." He began to fall, but Boris caught him.
"Ha ha ha! He's mine!" He picked up Tyson's still form and held him a little too close.
"Boris!" Hiro roared, "Let him go immediately!" Hiro reached out to the boy who could be his little brother, trying to save him, but Boris was already disappearing.
"Better luck next time, soon-to-be-brother-in-law."
Hiro understood what the evil man meant right away. "Boris! BORIS! You will not do that to him!"
"On the contrary, I will!" And, they were gone.
Hiro fell to his knees. A single tear fell down his face and he cried, "NOOOOO!" What will I do? What will I tell the king? The truth. That was the only thing he could do now to save the demon queen.
. . .
"Where am I?" Tyson asked as he looked around. He was no longer unconscious, but he wished he was. Wait, this is . . .!" He was floating in a black and red space. The same space he had traveled with Kai to get to The Great Demon Kingdom in the first place. But, why was he here? And, what happened to Boris. Well, at least I lost him. Of course, now I'm lost too. The vortex pulled him along. At the end he could see light, and he knew that was going to be his destination whether he wanted it to be or not.
Then everything disappeared. The black and red vanished, as did the light. All he could see was white. No light, no dark, no color whatsoever. Suddenly, everything rushed back into his sight. "What was that? Where am I?" he asked no one in particular as he looked around. Wait, this place looks familiar!
"T-man!" a familiar voice called. "Over here"! He turned around to see the last person he was expecting.
"Gramps?"
. . .
"You WHAT?" Kai screamed at Hiro. He looked ready to kill him there and then.
"I'm sorry, your highness! There was nothing I could do! He just sort of disappeared with him . . ." He didn't blame the king for being so angry. This was my fault, and I must pay for what happened . . . "I'm ready to take my punishment."
"Hold on!" a voice yelled, stopping everyone. Max came running into the throne room, followed by Ray who was carrying two babies. Despite the tension in the room, the babies seemed rather happy. That was one of the good traits they got from their mommy. "It's not your fault, Hiro! I'm sure you did everything you could, but Boris is just too strong. And I'm sure Tyson wouldn't like it if you were punished! That's the way he is!" Everyone in the room knew that very well, but Kai was in a lot of pain at the moment.
"Someone has to pay," he said darkly.
"Then might I suggest Boris?" a new voice asked. Everyone looked to the door. They were ready to attack in an instant. "Relax. I'm not your enemy."
"Not our enemy? Even though you tried to take Tyson?" Ray reminded him.
"I know what I did then. It was all an act," the cloaked man admitted.
"And how do we know that this is not an act right now?" Brooklyn asked madly.
The man sighed. "Because," he lowered his hood, "you know me, your highness."
Kai sucked in a sharp breath. He looked shocked "Chris? No . . . I thought you were dead!" He smiled, but it soon faded. "You weren't. And you tried to take Tyson."
"Listen to me, my old friend, we can talk about that later. For now, we have to save Ty. You need my help, and I need yours." Kai stared suspiciously at him. Chris sighed. "Please. I want to save Tyson as much as you do."
"How do you know him?" Kai demanded.
"Again, something I should tell you later. Ka- your highness, we have to save him!" the pink haired man begged.
After a few moments of silence, Kai finally spoke. "What do we need to do?"
. . .
"Little dude, your back! Whoa! Guess you ain't so little anymore!" Tyson's gramps said happily as he hugged him. They were standing in the yard of his house.
"What do you- Oh, yeah," the bluenette remembered. Ah, geez! How am I going to tell him I'm pregnant?
"So, when's it due?" His eyes widened.
"W-what?"
"When's my great-grandchild gonna be born, home dog?"
"Gramps, how did you,"
"I've known for a long time, T-man," his gramps said gently, cutting him off.
"What? Always known I've been pregnant?"
He laughed at his grandson. "No! What I did know about was the other world."
The demon queen was speechless. "But, how?" he finally asked when his voice returned.
"The day I found you. Well, actually someone dropped you off on my doorstep!"
Weird, Gramps isn't talking like a gangster- Wait, what did he just say? "Found me?"
"Yes. You were left on my doorstep along with a note . . ."
Flash back
Gramps was training in the dojo when he heard a baby crying. He quickly left the dojo to find where the crying was coming from. Soon, he came upon a blue haired baby lying in a small basket on his doorstep. "What's up with this little dude?" He noticed a letter and picked it up. He began to read it.
Dear Sir,
I have been watching you, and you seem to be the perfect protector for my little brother. My little brother is in danger, so please, you must help him! Take him in as your grandson and raise him to be strong. I will contact you once he is older.
Sincerely,
Chris
End flash back
"And as the note promised, he came back to explain everything to me when you were out one day. He told me not to tell you. That's why you never knew until your friends met you and took you to your real home."
Tyson remained silent, allowing the new information to sink in. "Gramps, I-"
"So, this is where you ended up."
He froze. "Boris? But how did you come here? I thought Kai was the only one who could come here!"
. . .
"You want me to take you to Earth? You really think he is there?" Kai asked Chris, who nodded.
"I know he's there. Boris, like you, can travel between the two dimensions thanks to his pendant. Actually, he had two, but you found the other one at the village that burnt down almost a year ago."
"How did he get his hands on something like that?" Brooklyn asked, amazed.
"Now's not the time. We're leaving, now," the demon king demanded. He looked to the people who offered to go with him, checking if they were ready. Ray, Hiro, Brooklyn, and Chris all nodded. Kai held the pendant out as he had before, and the portal opened for him. He was the first one in, then the others followed.
Before Ray took his turn, he stopped, turned, and said to his wife, "Don't worry. I'll be fine. Tyson will be, too. We'll bring him back. Take care of Sigmund and Sunny while I'm away." Max frowned but then smiled for Ray.
"I love you!"
"I love you too." And, he was gone.
. . .
Boris took a step towards Tyson, who took a step back. The purple haired man laughed. "Anything he can do, I can do better!"
This guy's wacked, the bluenette thought.
"Who are you? Some villain from the demon world? You need to leave right now!" He had never heard his gramps so mad before.
"Hah! Make me, old man!" Boris challenged.
"You asked for it, dog!" Gramps ran at Boris, only to be knocked down.
"Gramps, no!" Tyson screamed. He winced when he felt a kick in his stomach. So, you can feel something is wrong too?
"Lady Tyson, just come with me. Then there will be no more stress, no more pain."
"Hah! Like I'm going to believe a word you say! Go to hell!"
Boris began to fume. "Just come with me, you brat!" He reached out and slapped Tyson across the face. He yelped and stumbled back. But, before he could fall, strong arms caught him.
"Tyson!"
His eyes widened. "Kai! Oh, Kai, thank God you're here!" Kai smiled softly at his queen before turning his attention to Boris.
"Boris! By my command, you are being placed under arrest for kidnapping, treason, and murder! Men, get him!"
Hiro was the first to act. He charged Boris with all of his might. Boris stumbled back and shot a blast of dark energy at him. He barely dodged and sent a blast of ice at the purple haired man. It hit! Or, so he thought. Boris was suddenly behind him. He shot at him again, this time hitting. Hiro screamed and fell to the ground.
"Ahhh!" Brooklyn yelled as he sent his own dark blasts at Boris, only to have them be sent right back at him. He was hit, but managed to stay on his feet. That didn't last long, however. Boris sent another series of attacks at him, and he too fell.
Ray and Chris decided to attack at the same time. Ray teleported and latched onto Boris. "Now! Hit him now!" he cried to Chris. Purple shadow energy pulsed from Chris's hands and struck Boris in the stomach. Seeing that he hadn't gone down yet, Chris sent another attack at the older man. But, Boris caught on quickly. He disappeared and the attack hit Ray instead. The cat-like-demon was thrown to the ground.
"Shit!" Chris tried to help him, but he too was knocked to the ground by Boris.
"Is this the best you've got, Lord Whelp?" Boris looked at the demon king and laughed.
"You want to see my best, bastard? Fine!" Kai gently laid Tyson on the ground.
"Kai, wait! Please, I don't want you to get hurt!" the bluenette cried weakly.
"Tyson . . ." Kai smiled and nodded reassuringly. "Everything will be okay. You have to trust me."
"I, I do, Kai! But," Tyson stopped. He wiped a few tears from his eyes. "Kick his ass!" Kai smirked.
"It would be my pleasure . . ."
He stretched his arms out towards Boris, who began to lift off of the ground. "What is this? What are you doing?"
"You've never seem my power before, have you? Well, witness it and fear it!"
Boris was suspended at least nine feet in the air. He reached out towards Kai, but quickly moved his hands to his throat when the demon king made a flicking motion. The purple haired man began to gasp for air, and his face turned blue. Just when it looked like he was going to suffocate, a huge black creature seemed to jump down from the sky and took him.
"What the fuck?" Kai yelled angrily.
Darkness surrounded them all, and that was the last thing Tyson saw before unconsciousness stole him.
Mint: And you know what she called me? She called me a jerk!
Ray: She's at it again!
Kai: Great. (Is being sarcastic)
Tyson: Really? She called you that?
Mint: Yup! You wanna know what I called her back?
Max: What?
Mint: I called her a brat! Then we both just started cracking up!
Ray: Why would you laugh if she called you something mean?
Mint: 'Cause she's my friend!
Kai: That makes no sense.
Mint: I know, right? It's just what we do!
Tyson: Please don't forget to review before you go. It makes Mint happy!
Mint: Sure does!
Bladebreakers plus Mint: G' night!
