Last chapter! Sorry this went by so fast, but the end of the school year has come to a close and I only have a few more hours until I have to go home.....and as we all know, I have like no internet there whatsoever. I will hopefully still be able to update "Will There Ever be Peace?" and get started on my other ideas. So, be patient. I hate not having internet, but what's a girl to do?

Anyway, now that you're completely bored out of your skulls, here's the fic! Kai? Hiro? Do disclaimer for the last chapter?

Kai and Hiro – Disclaimer: She doesn't own Beyblade. If she did, she'd have internet at home.

Enjoy!

A Ride Through the Storm

Chapter Five – Happy

-S-S-S-S-S-

Hiro sighed as he opened his eyes to pale yellows and pinks. It was dawn, which meant the storm had lasted through the rest of the day and all last night. Not that the blue haired male minded. He smiled softly, remembering the first few hours since Kai had woken up. They had spent those hours cuddled up together, trading kisses and even a few gropes here and there, but Kai's injuries kept their movements from going any further.

The former Jin of the Gale looked down at the slate hair occupying his shoulder. Kai had fallen asleep an hour before Hiro had, snuggling up in the taller male's lap, head tucked under the defined chin. The phoenix's breathing was steady, and the Granger was thankful yet again that Kai had not broken any ribs when he fell. That would make getting back to the stables a little harder than originally.

A snort brought him out of his reverie. Looking up, he spotted two sillhoutes at the side of the small cave. One of them whickered and shook its massive body free of water from the rain. The other snorted in distress as some of the drops fell onto him.

Hiro smirked. It seemed the horses were fine, even though it looked like Night Owl was favoring his right foreleg, the hoof barely touching the sodden earth.

Then, he remembered. 'Shit, the others are probably worried sick!'

Going against his inner boyfriend, he shook his newly-found lover awake gently, minding the wrist and knee. "Kai. Kai, wake up," he cooed.

The teen stirred, crimson-violent orbs revealing themselves from underneath thick lashes. "Hiro?" he mumbled.

The older male nodded. "Sorry to wake you, but it's daylight, and we need to get back."

Kai nodded, raising his uninjured hand to his temple as if the slight pressure would bring his headache down. "Yeah, Tyson and the others are probably running around like chickens with their heads cut off," he muttered sleepily.

Hiro chuckled at the non-Kai-like description of his teammates. The phoenix was cute when he was half-asleep. "Come on," he urged, helping the teen to his feet.

The dual haired boy looked out towards the entrance. "Hey," he whispered, tugging on the ripped sleeve of Hiro's shirt that he had used to bandage the injured boy.

The older male nodded. "It seems they either followed us last night or just found their way back to us."

Kai nodded and leaned against the offered arm, limping out to the horses. He chuckled a little as Night stretched out his neck, gently nuzzling the small human. Something inside the horse told him to be gentle with his rider.

Hiro smiled a little at the rebonding both rider and horse were doing before he tugged a little on Kai's elbow. Gesturing for them to go over to the uninjured horse, he helped the teen over to the Fox Trotter, climbing into the saddle first and helping the boy up. The older male grabbed Night Owl's reins from Kai and picked up his own horse's reins, squeezing his knees for a walk.

They rode in silence, taking it slow and steady for the black stallion limping alongside. Kai leaned his still aching head against Hiro's strong back, his arms wrapped around the other's stomach for balance. He breathed in deeply and let it out slowly, relaxing. This felt nice. He'd never felt so calm and at peace with anyone else, always having to be the strong one, the one in charge, having to take care of others, but with Hiro, it was like he was the one being looked after, and it felt nice.

-S-S-S-S-S-

They finally made it back to the stables around midmorning, having to go around the paddock fence and follow it. A stablehand cried out in surprise as he spotted them and called back over his shoulder for some help. The older man from the day before quickly made his way from the tack room to the figures coming up the drive.

"Are you two alright?" he asked worriedly.

Hiro glanced back, noticing Kai was still asleep against him. "The storm hit us, and a few lightning bolts scared the horses. Night Owl tried jumping the fence but didn't quite make it. Sent both him and Kai rolling. Looks like he's doing fine, but Kai needs to head to the hospital. I think his knee his cracked; wrist is fractured, and he's had a whopping headache since he woke up."

The hand stared in shock at the blue haired male, not even noticing the other G-Revolution members come running up with Mr. Dickenson and Bruce.

"Hiro, are you alright?" Bruce asked with Mr. Dickenson.

The oldest Granger boy nodded and turned in his seat a little, jarring Kai slightly to wake him.

The phoenix groaned a little and blinked, taking in that they were back at the stables with everyone staring at them.

Hiro chuckled at the nervous look in the crimson-violet gaze. "Hey," he whispered, gaining the teen's attention, "let's get down and get you looked at."

Kai nodded a little and reluctantly pulled back.

-S-S-S-S-S-

The phoenix sighed, leaning a little against the paddock fence, watching Night Owl graze contently.

It had been a week since the thunderstorm incident, and the teen had come out of it with having to not only use crutches but not be able to beyblade for at least three months. So, he spent his time – with much excitement from the owner – with Night Owl, helping the black stallion deal with his strained fetlock. The horse was definitely lucky, that was for sure.

The dual haired teen jumped a little as a pair of strong and warm arms wound themselves around his slim waist. He glance back, catching a pair of dark crimson eyes gazing warmly at him. Kai gave a small smile before leaning into the embrace.

Of course, Hiro had spent his entire time with the phoenix. Everything and everywhere Kai did and went, Hiro did. He didn't want anything else to happen to his lover.

"He looks happy," the older male whispered in Kai's ear.

The phoenix caught the double meaning. "He is," he replied.

Tilting his head back, he was met with a pair of soft lips brushing over his before coming into complete contact.

Yeah, he was happy.
