Declaimer: I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE!
A knock sounded on the suite door. Dragoon looked over and breathed a sigh at seeing his brother still asleep with his head up against the cool window. He got up and silently opened the door. "I'm Princess Draciel Mizuhara." said a honey blonde with purple highlights in her hair. "Come in, quietly please." Dragoon whispered. The sunlight blonde with purple streaks in his hair fell into his eyes nodded. "He finally fell asleep Draciel." Max said as he looked over at what seemed like sleeping beauty. "He's a beauty isn't he Maxie?" she asked as she set down in an over stuffed chair. Max nodded as he set on the plush Oriental rug. "I'm sorry to hear you lost your mother late last night." He said. "Who?" Dragoon questioned. "Max Mizuhara... water." He answered. They settled down to watch a quiet movie. The storm eased off a little more as his brother fell into a deeper slumber.
"Someone's at the door.' Max said out of the no where. A knock was heard. "Thanks Max." Dragoon thanked as he hurried to the door. He opened the door. There stood two ebony hair twins. 'I'm Driger and Ray Kon my twin brother." Driger announced. Dragoon nodded and let them follow him into the large den where his baby brother still slept and Draciel and Max sat watching a movie. 'I'm sorry for your loss and grief." Ray said quietly. "Thanks come watch a movie." Dragoon said. "Okay Driger said as he took a seat on the bean bag while Ray sat on the hardwood floor.
Kai and Dranzer headed to the suite after dropping off their suitcases in their suite. Dranzer knocked and they waited as the door opened. A teen stood there with short ebony hair and emerald green cat-slit eyes. "Is this the North's suite?" Dranzer asked. "Who's asking?" the teen questioned. "Kai Hiwatari of phoenix and my twin sister Dranzer Hiwatari of phoenix and heir." Kai answered deadly calm. "Cool, you got the right suite." the teen said as he held open the suite door. They silently followed him into the large den where two blondes sat, an ebony teen sat, and a dark blue hair teen sat watching the television. Thunder hit lightly and Kai turned to see a midnight haired beauty sleep. That's Ty he's the Weather of the North, I'm Dragoon heir of Dragon, this young lady in Draciel heir of the Turtle and her brother Max the Water of East, the short ebony hair is Driger heir of Tiger and his twin Ray is Earth of West, so you must be lady Dranzer heir of Phoenix and twin bother is Kai Fire of South." Dragoon said as he talked to Dranzer, Kai found a spot by the balcony doors where he sat and started to meditate. Everyone watched another movie. Kai still meditated at the balcony doors where tiny balls of fire circled around him and Tyson slept on peacefully. They had the lights off with the corner lamp on low.
Later that evening the Kings and Queens of all four kingdoms entered the suite and found all of their children were slumbering. They grabbed blankets or throw blankets and covered up Draciel in the chair, Driger in the bean bag, Max on the rug, Ray on the hardwood floor, Dragoon on one end of the love seat and Dranzer on the other end, Kai by the balcony, and Tyson in the window seat. They left King Granger in the suite and headed to their own suites.
Tyson opened his eyes to see a little of the moon in the cloudy sky. He moved the clouds and gazed up at the moon and stars. His shoulders and neck hurt. "Here let me help." said a quiet, smooth voice. Tyson nodded and scooted up a little. The person sat behind him. Warm hands started to message his shoulders and the base of his neck. Tyson closed his eyes and leaned into the warmth behind him. "You made me feel better already." Tyson said leaning against a solid warm chest. Muscled pale arms wrapped around Tyson's middle where he fell back to sleep.
A cool hand touched Tyson's cheek that sent chills down his spine. Tyson snuggled deeper into the slowly fading warmth from the night before. "That's cold... Drag." Tyson mumbled in his warm slumber. Max looked around at the only occupants and shrugged as he sat down and tuned into the movie that Ray had turned on. Kai opened his eyes as he stopped meditating in the morning suns light. He glanced around the semi-quiet suite. His sister and the others were still asleep. The curtains were drawn so that the morning sun wouldn't awaken the whole apartment suite. He stood and quietly made his way out onto the balcony where he could work with his natural element.
Kai set meditating when he caught the scent of fresh snow and mint. "Who are you? Why are you wearing a very long scarf?" asked a soft musical voice. Kai opened his eyes to see the loose long flowing midnight blue hair, lightly tan sun kissed skin, and large storm blue/grey eyes. "Kai of the Phoenix, and I just do." He replied in his cold emotionless voice. "Oh." the other replied. "May I sit here in the morning sun with you?" He asked quietly. "Hn" was all he got in return. Tyson sat down and gazed up at the forever blue sky. He started to play with the clouds in the sky. The clouds formed a tiger chasing a rabbit, a turtle cloud swimming, a phoenix cloud nesting, and a dragon cloud flying in the air. "You're very talented." Said a soft cheerful voice. Tyson jolted from where he was sitting on the balcony. "Who are you?" he asked in his sweet melody. "My name is Max Mizuhara the water of the East… How do you feel this morning?" Max asked. "Numb" Ty answered. "That's to be expected with what you've been through." Replied the two tone hair named Kai. "I suppose… Hey do you want to meet everyone before they awake?" Max asked. Ty smiled a small smile at Kai before standing and following after the blonde prince.
Max walked in and waited for Tyson to enter shortly behind him. Tyson walked over to Max. "The blonde young lady is my sister Draciel she's the next in line to the throne. The two ebony twins are from the West; the one watching television is Ray he's the earth of the West and Driger is the heir. The golden blonde hair young lady is Dranzer heir of the South and you were just sitting with Kai fire of the South." Max explained as he pointed everyone out in the room. "Did you get everyone's name and status?" Max questioned. Tyson nodded his head as he turned to look out the double doors to see Kai meditating with balls of fire circling him. Tyson looked down the hall towards the bathroom to shower and clean up.
Kai continued meditating as a few clouds passed in front of the sun. It started to sprinkle so Kai stood still with his fire balls a little bigger with his anger. "Where is he?" Kai questioned. Max saw his anger and pointed towards the bathroom. Kai walked to the bathroom door and opened the door. He stepped in closing it behind him.
Kai saw steam coming from the shower and walked over to it. "Tyson, why come in here to cry when the weather outside will still be affected?" Kai asked as his fire balls diminished. "Because if I cry in front of… everyone they'll just worry… so I'm not going to cry where everyone can see me." Tyson answered through his tears. "You want to know something that even my own flesh in blood doesn't?" Kai asked. "Sure I guess" Tyson replied. "When I was eight or nine my grandfather would beat me till I cried. This went on for about a year till I learned how to meditate and create fire out of thin air, so one day my grandfather thought if he tied my hands up I couldn't summon my fire. So when he started to beat on me once more I stood there and took it and with every hit he landed on my skin my temper and power grew. "Kai explained as he sat on the toilet. "What happen next?" Tyson asked in a quiet tone. "When he hit me a few times after I had hit my limit and my power just exploded in a large wave of fire. It set my grandfather a flame and he died where he used to torture me and bring harm to my mind, body, and soul. In the end I've kept that secret until today" Kai said as he handed a large fluffy towel out as Tyson opened the shower door. "Thanks… I mean for sharing and keeping me from breaking down." He said in a soft windy tone. "Nothing big, if you're ever feeling down don't hide and cry come find me and we'll talk." Kai replied as he got up and left the bathroom for him to dry and dress.
Ray saw Kai enter the bathroom and got up to make breakfast. "What would you like for breakfast Max?" Ray asked. "Anything's fine I'm not picky." Max answered. Ray nodded as he went into the kitchen. He got all of his ingredients out and made mushroom and onion omelets with bacon, hash browns and breakfast muffins with teamed apples in sugar and cinnamon.
As he was finishing up breakfast everyone was stirring from their slumbering spots. Max, Driger, Dragoon, Tyson, Draciel, and Dranzer were sitting at the bar. Driger and Draciel were talking. Max was chatting with Ray Dragoon asked Tyson to go grab Kai and father for breakfast.
Tyson stood and walked out towards the balcony to grab Kai. "Kai breakfast is done." Tyson said. "Hn" Kai said as he continued to meditate. He turned and headed to his father's room. "Father, may I enter?" he asked quietly. "Enter, Ty" King Granger replied. Tyson entered and spoke. "Dragoon said breakfast is done." "I'll be there in a few minutes." He responded. Tyson nodded and left. Tyson went to the kitchen and informed Dragoon. Here was a knock on the door. Tyson was already standing so he answered the door.
He opened the door to find three kings and three queens standing there. "You may enter your majesties." Tyson spoke softly and bowed his head his long bangs hiding his face. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Tyson." Spoke the queen of the South. Tyson nodded as he closed the door. "Is there a problem, Ty?" Dragoon asked from the kitchen. "No, everything's fine." Tyson replied. Everyone walked to the kitchen. When Tyson didn't see anyone's feet in his line of sight he slid to the floor only to be pulled into a soft feminine body. "Shh… It's alright to cry Tyson." Said the queen of the South. She sat on the floor and pulled Tyson into her lap. Tyson broke and started to cry anew.
Kai was outside when it started to storm… He opened his eyes and looked to the suddenly dark and was that snow mixed into the rain. He stood and headed inside soaked to the bone. He walked into the kitchen where everyone were eating except for his mother and the weather holder. He turned and started towards the door steaming.
Tyson cried as Queen Hiwatari soothed him. She soothed Tyson as only a mother can; when her son came around the corner steaming literally. She started to giggle. "Mother" Kai said in a clipped tone that startled Tyson into lifting his head. He blinked his eyes a few times before he started to giggle a little bring the sun back into the sky. "I'm so very sorry Kai." He got out in his soft tone between giggles. Everyone came to see what had got Tyson giggling so much. What they saw was a steaming prince glaring down at the giggling pair on the floor. Kai walked around them and started down the hall. Tyson jumped up and followed behind him. They watched as fire started swirling around Kai as he retreated to his suite with Tyson following behind him trying not to giggle. "Well that lightened up the mood." Max said as he skipped back to the kitchen for breakfast. Everyone laughed as they headed back in. Queen Hiwatari stopped the King. "Don't worry they'll get along."She said before heading to the kitchen.
Kai and Tyson entered the suite. Tyson sat in the den while Kai headed to clean up and dress. He picked up a book and started to read as he hummed to himself. Kai dried and dressed before heading out to the den. He heard a soft sweet melody. He stopped in the doorway to the den and found Tyson reading and humming a tune in the phoenix language. "Where did you learn that song?" Kai asked.
Tyson jolted as he turned his head to see Kai. His slate blue bangs with its red tips hanging slightly in front of his eyes that glowed with eternal fire and fresh spilt blood. His skin like fresh snow complimented his blue shark fin markings. He wore a black turtle neck with no sleeves and bark blue jeans with a chain hanging from his hip with a white belt and a phoenix buckle. Tyson turned his head as he blushed. "Um… I just know the song." He answered as he closed the book and stood headed for the door. Kai noticed the book he was reading and smirked. "Were you reading or looking for pictures to read?" Tyson turned as his eyes flashed in anger. "I was reading smart ass." He replied in anger making his voice softer. Kai noticed the sun had disappeared. He walked to the balcony doors to see flower petals and snow falling. 'I wonder what brought on the sakura blossoms?' Kai thought as he heard the door slam shut.
Tyson steamed in anger as he walked to his suite. He opened and slammed the door. He didn't take off his shoes as he stomped to his room and slamming that door also.
Everyone looked at each other before the three queens got up and went to the young prince's room. "Tyson could we come in?" She asked. "I don't care" He answered. The queens entered the room and closed the door behind them. They found Tyson throwing pillows off his bed. They were surprised to see crimson silk sheets underneath the white fur blanket and soft blue and silver comfitor. They sat down fixing the skirts of their dresses. "Tyson, sweetheart what's got you all riled up?" Queen Kon asked in her calm tone. He sat on his messed up bed. "I hate him" He seethed. Queen Mizuhara looked out the window and said "The children are having fun, so please don't bury them in snow dear." Tyson snapped out of most of his anger. "Thank you dear heart." Queen Hiwatari replied. "Now what did my son say to you?" she asked. "Well… I was reading the book in the den and humming a song I made up when I was little. When he asked me where I learned the song. I told him that I just knew it. I got up and was leaving when he asked me if I was really reading or just looking for pictures to read." Tyson retold as he sighed defeated. "I see" Queen Mizuhara replied as she stared at the sakura blossoms landed on the ground. She turned and smiled at the other two Queens. "Oh! Oh My God!" Queen Kon said as she started to giggle along with the other two queens. "What's so funny?" Tyson demanded. "Sorry Ty, but it seems the book you were reading was in the language of the phoenix my dear heart." Queen Hiwatari answered. "Can we hear the song you were humming?" Queen Kon asked. Tyson settled and closed his eyes. He started humming. When he finished humming he opened his eyes to find all three in tears. They clapped and smiled. "That's the song of a phoenix dear." Queen Mizuhara said. "Oh" Tyson said as he sat there. "You should sing that song for your mother." Queen Hiwatari said finally. "I was planning to." He answered. "That's great" Queen Kon and Queen Mizuhara said in unison.
They left and found their husbands and dear friend. "We'll see if they are it." Queen Kon said. "How dear?" asked her husband. "You'll see at the funeral." Queen Mizuhara replied smiling.
They bid their friend and child goodnight. "We'll see you tomorrow." They said. "Bed early; we have a sad day tomorrow." King Granger said as he headed to bed. Dragoon smiled at his slumbering brother before heading off to bed himself.
They woke early and dressed. They headed to the funeral. Tyson gazed upon his mother who looked beautiful in her silver and white bodice dress with her long midnight blue hair up with white moonflowers in her hair and hands. "You look beautiful mama." He said as he kissed her cold forehead. He sat down and the funeral continued. "Before you lay my mother to rest I want her to hear one last song." Tyson said as he stepped forward and closed his eyes. He started to hum
~Fire fierce and free
Fly for those who can't
Over the ocean call for your friends
Through the forest and meadows followed by strips
In the air higher than you can hear
Your protector soars and roars for you
Fire fierce and free
Fly for an eternity~
Tyson sang in his soft melody as he repeated the versus of the song the parents watched as Kai began to glow in a crimson and gold aura than a phoenix emerged from his still form and his body fell to the ground. Max's aura glowed a purple/cobalt till a turtle appeared having him fall to the ground. Ray followed with a green/white aura as a tiger formed with him falling to the ground. Tyson's form glowed blue/silver before a dragon appeared and he fell to the ground his voice never changing. His voice sang the versus once again as all four spirits twirled and chased after their mates before meeting in air. They twirled around their chosen before landing back in their original forms. The four young princes slept through the rest of the funeral. The kings gathered their youngest babies into their arms and carried them back to their suites.
AN: Can you guess which beast chose which and is there any history to it?
