Early next morning….
Kai's alarm clock beeped at 5 in the morning. And he reached over the headrest of his bed to turn it off. Suddenly he could feel somebody's arm around his waist and legs over his legs stopping him from getting up. He removed his blanket and couldn't believe his eyes. He slapped his face a couple of times to check if he was dreaming. But it was very much real. Just then Tyson suddenly pulled himself closer to kai and started mumbling in his sleep.
Tyson : (sleeping)ummm. Cheese sandwich! Roast turkey…daichi you lil….go die!
Kai 's anger boiled over and he kicked Tyson out of his bed, not caring about whether he was asleep or not! But even then Tyson didn't wake up! Kai realised that it would take a lot more than that to wake this pig up. He landed on the floor quite hard and rolled over to a corner of the room.
Kai : this little hippopotamus! How dare he sleeps beside me?
He approached Tyson who was sleeping quite comfortably on the floor and still mumbling something in his sleep.
Tyson : (sleeping) I am …a star beyblader. Hilary quit it!... My hair is gonna rip off!
Kai : oh you are gonna see stars alright! big bright ones!
Kai grabbed Tyson by the collar and lifted the sleeping Tyson from the floor. And shook Tyson vigorously till his eyes flew open!
Tyson : (after waking up) armageddon! We are gonna die!
After seeing kai….
Tyson : oops! He he…oh crud!
Kai : correction! You are gonna die ! I am gonna kill you with my two bare hands for sleeping beside me in my bed!
With all this commotion going on William was woken up from his sleep and he rushed to the place where the two were fighting!
William : what is the wrong with you master kai? why are you yelling this early?
Kai : nothing is wrong with me! The one whose brain is fried is this guy! (pointing towards Tyson)
Tyson : oh stop your yap why don'tcha? I got scared in the middle of the night due to the darkness and I tried calling William but he was sound asleep. So I didn't have any choice but to sleep beside you.
Kai : I don't wanna hear any excuses just bail out from here!
Tyson : just chill would ya! I didn't do anything wrong now did i? and besides I wont budge unless you agree to come for the reunion!
Kai : you blackmailing me?
Tyson : you could say that! That's how I get my things done! Remember when you had to give me a ride last night!
Kai : well …I aint a goof ball either. To fall for your pathetic lil tricks twice. And as for the reunion, you better tell Mr.D that kai has better things to do. You hear me? Now! Buzz off Tyson!
Tyson : hmm(angrily) you know what! You are a pathetic loser, a sore loser who dwells in the past. Cant believe dranzer sacrificed its life to save your sorry life!
Kai was suddenly silenced with what Tyson just told him. He was reminded of that fateful day when he was severely injured in the match against Brooklyn and about how dranzer gave up its remaining energy to save him.
Tyson : hmm. whats wrong ? cat got your tongue? You know what kai, a certain someone told me in order to become a true beyblader , having a bitbeast is not important but it's the spirit for the sport that counts! Just think about it. ….well see ya, I am outa here! Thanks for letting me stay the night William! You deserve it, unlike some stuck up pain in the shins.
All the while kai was silent and had his hands folded in deep thought. He went upstairs to get ready for another day at the office!
Tyson : I am such a goof! I should have tried even more to convince him but no! I had to make a dramatic exit! Sometimes I am forced to believe what Hilary always tells me "you don't have a brain Tyson! not even a teeny weeny peanut sized one". And I don't have money with me either. Should have asked William before I got out. I am just full of hot air. That's all I am!
Frustratedly when Tyson got up and was about to leave he heard something fall out of his backpack. When he turned around and saw what it was…
Tyson : what the heck is this? A wallet? This is not mine! I wonder how it got in here!
He opened it and saw money. Enough money to send him off home safe and sound. There was also a note inside the wallet that was addressed to him from William .
"master Tyson..i am deeply apologetic for my master's behaviour. Anyways I know that you are broke so I have given enough money to last you the trip home. Oh and don't worry about giving it back. Return it at your convenience. And one more thing I still haven't told master kai about lending you money so don't blurt it out even by mistake, otherwise both you and I will be in trouble! And also I know you have taken pains to come here all the way from your hometown just to convince him to come for the reunion. And I commend you for having done that! Not many people I know have ever taken effort towards him. Thank you for understanding him and being a true friend! It is however sad that he isn't interested. Anyway , with all due respect, have a safe journey home! Good day!...william "
Tyson : nice guy that William!..well lets get something to eat first and get home! Everyone will be disappointed though! But what the heck….convincing kai is like climbing the everest and committing suicide from the highest point!
While Tyson was gonna board his flight home, a certain someone was wide awake not being in the mood to sleep! Kai was just lying down in his bed looking at the ceiling! He was constantly reminded of what Tyson had said to him earlier this morning! Just then he heard a knock on his door!
Kai : come in! I am awake William!
William : I knew that with what happened yesterday, master Tyson would have left quite an impression. You might deny it but I know you all too well.
Kai :hn…(looking at William)
William : please listen to me master kai. I was the butler for your family right from your grandfather's period. I know what goes on inside the hiwatari household for generations. Just don't have the idea that the entire family rests on your shoulders alone, alright! you are still young for god's sake and you should relax those tense shoulders of yours!(getting up and giving him a shoulder press)
Kai : you gave money to Tyson to last him the entire trip didn't you?
William : well….i ..how did you know?
Kai : oh please..with that over enthusiastic shoulder press, you practically blew your cover yourself!
William : you are too smart for your own good you know that! It kinda scares me!
Kai : it has only little to do with smartness William. I have known you since I was five years old! And also the fact that you don't have the habit of locking my wardrobe after you open it….hmm. don't worry I wont deduct your salary…
William : well thanks a lot for that and sorry for being careless. By the way master kai, master Tyson is a true friend to you! You may not be noticing it but I sure have, and I think it would be unfair of you to turn his invitation down. Whatever has happened in the past has happened for a reason. Master kai , dranzer acted on its own free will to save your life that day! Don't go blaming yourself for its demise.
Kai : (hugging William) thanks a lot William. After dranzer, you are the only one who has stuck by me till now! Thank you so much!
William : my pleasure master kai! the rest is upto you to decide. Sleep tight and good night!
Early next morning after waking up, William found a note on his desk after he woke up..it was from kai.
"thank you William for making me understand. I guess I can never be sorry for acting so immaturely towards Tyson. and so I am gonna return the favour to him by accepting his invitation for the reunion. Sorry for informing you in such short notice. Hope you could settle everything over there in my absence. Will be back soon….Kai…..P.S….LOCK THE WARDROBE AFTER YOU OPEN IT FOR GOD'S SAKE :P"
William : so typical! It just needs some tweaking at the right place and before you know it he is off.
While at tyson's place everyone is eagerly awaiting tyson's arrival but most importantly a certain someone with him too.
Kenny : Tyson ! I am so glad you are back! How was your trip? Is your health ok ? you are not air sick again are you? And where is kai ? is he still inside the cab?
Tyson : will you just stop acting like a nagging wife! And whats with all the yelling , my ears are ringing.
Hilary : so …details…details…Tyson. where is kai?
Max and ray : ya dude . where is he?
Daichi : come on Tyson , what did ya get from Moscow?
Tyson blew his top at everyone after their tirade of question.
Tyson : gguuyyyysss! Stop it! Gimme a breather why don't cha? Jeez….gimme some space to explain.
Everyone piped down and listened to Tyson's story while he was in Moscow and how kai rejected his invitation to come for the reunion.
Kenny : I knew it! I so knew this was gonna happen! Just one year when I thought we could celebrate the reunion as a team it had to end up like this! Every year ours is the only team which comes incomplete!
Hilary : I cant believe kai turned it down even after going there personally and making him understand!
Max : this is totally not done dude!
Ray : ya I mean seriously! We are not just teammates to him! We were like his family !
Daichi : he is just a sore loser guys! Why are we wasting our time even discussing about him?
Tyson : you know what guys, for once I think daichi's right! It was obvious for us right from the start that he wouldn't turn up! Lets just concentrate on getting ready for the party tonight alright!
Everyone agreed to Tyson and were busy getting ready for the evening! What they didn't know is that kai had boarded the flight early morning to get to the reunion in time
That evening at the party every one of the team members who represented BBA in the past had come. Lee 's white tiger team, michael's all starz, Julia and raul from F dynasty, miguel's barthez battalion, even kai's old team the blitzkrieg boys had come together after being separated for a long time. But what was more surprising for the blade breakers was that a certain group of bladders whom they never expected had also turned up.
Brooklyn : long time no see Tyson!
Tyson : hey man! Actually am quite surprised to see you guys here!
Garland : unfortunately only me and Brooklyn were in town and got the invitation from Mr.D . and so we thought it wouldn't hurt to drop in and say hello!
Ray : so you guys are working for the BBA now?
Brooklyn : ya , as a matter of fact , garland and I have started running a beyblading centre down town.
Max : good for you guys!
And when they continued conversing with each other, Mr.D interrupted .
Mr.D : may I have your attention please!...thank you all for coming here from different corners of the world just to be united with your beyblading pals once more! And now several of you have matured enough to build your very own training centers in propagating beyblading far and wide. Many of you have started pursuing careers of your interest and had to withdraw your positions in your respective teams. But the spirit of beyblading that unites us all has led us here to this point. Now moving forward , I have a special announcement to make! To commemorate this occasion I have organised an exhibition match, to not only weigh your skills after a long time but also to provide out young talents some pointers so that they can step into your shoes and do BBA proud. Thank you once again for patiently listening to my "blabbering" again this year.
And Mr.D stepped down from the dias after his speech! Everyone hooted and howled and cheered him on all the way!
Tyson : you rock Mr.D!
Kenny : well …what are you guys waiting for? Lets paarttteeee….
Suddenly someone stood behind Kenny, hovering above him and said in a low tone while no one noticed him at all.
"thought you guys could start the party without me huh?"
Kenny let out a huge gasp before he turned around and noticed who it was. Hearing Kenny gasp everyone turned around and was shocked to see that kai had indeed made it to the reunion this year! Still facing him with jaws open, Tyson was left speechless!
Hope you guys like it! Wait for another action packed chapter and more and more surprises along the way… read and give reviews guys…..kai has made it to the party and is going to bring the house down in next chapter so stay tuned…..
