Chapter 9
"I'm listening." Kai watched closely as Tyson sighed, obviously trying to relax and trying to calm himself down for what he was about to say. Kai was slightly confused on why Tyson had chosen now of all times to confess something to him. Why couldn't he just go to Rei and mope about his problems?

Tyson was still standing, staying rooted to the spot and he was now regretting the fact that he had yelled, "Well? What is it?" Kai had thought that maybe it was something important but after a few minutes of unbearable silence Kai brushed it off as Tyson just being Tyson. Annoying.

Just as Kai was going to tell Tyson to get out - of his own room - the smaller teenager began to speak. "The day your mother died…" Time stopped as the dreaded 'm' word was mentioned. The blue-haired teenager didn't know what to do, anyone that had tried to say something to him about Enya had been too scared to say anything more than a quick word. Now here was a friend, worked up and stressed about something regarding his mother's death? Should he tell him to leave now, or should he let him continue?

Tyson continued to speak as he knew that Kai was trying to process the words he was saying, but was being slowed down by the questions that even he would ask in Kai's position. "I came up to check on you both…"

Out of the blue Kai answered, his tone blank of emotion as well as his face. The stone shield that let no pain in was up once again. "No you didn't." Tyson wanted to tell Kai to shut up so he could say everything and then he could ask questions when he was done. Though Kai was beginning to feel far too insecure for this kind of conversation, what was Tyson meant to be telling him?

"I left before I came into the room." The words did not register when Tyson spoke them and once again Kai just couldn't feel or say anything for the moment. Confusion was the one thing that displayed on his face, and Tyson began to give answers knowing that the situation couldn't get any better.

"I heard you arguing with Adonis, I didn't want to stand in the middle again to hear you both shouting at each other." The first time that Tyson had been stupid enough to walk straight into Kai's hospital room and not knock meant that he had been stuck in-between a domestic argument. It wasn't the fight that unnerved Tyson so much it was the fact that Kai had told him to stay quiet or else he'd kill him... Not the best thing to hear from a friend.

Kai shook his head not wanting to believe what Tyson was saying. A cold shiver made its way up his back and then suddenly he was engulfed in sadness. "Why are you telling me this?" Kai put a hand to his forehead, hoping that it would block any indication to the pain he was going through. It hurt him, everywhere hurt though he knew it was not showing as Tyson made no move to comfort him. He hadn't been sleeping, he hadn't been eating, he was just basically a walking, sulking ghost.

"Enough Tyson. I've already told you to leave." Kai snapped back though did not look up from where he was sitting. He closed his eyes hoping that the burning feeling at the back of his eyes would just leave - he no longer wished to cry, not in front of anyone.

Kai was trying to control the thoughts and emotions that were hurling themselves at him and his drained body. He did not need anything like this, he was perfectly fine until Tyson said this... Tyson on the other hand was looking down at the floor, not even daring to look at Kai anymore. He did not want to see a look of hate or disgust from him at this moment in time, in fact the smallest thing, he felt could send him into hysterics.

"By not coming into the room…Adonis easily killed your mother…and almost you. If I had came in it would have been enough to stop him." Kai now knew what this little 'discussion' was about. Tyson thought he was the reason behind his mothers death? Why did he have to have such emotional friends, of course it wasn't his fault.

"Shut up, I was the one that is guilty of not doing anything. I was the reason my mother was killed not you." Kai snarled, holding his hand closer to his eyes so he could wipe away any tears that could fall at any minute. Then again he hadn't cried for quite a while.

"You didn't do anything because you were injured… I just left because…I didn't want to come into an argument." Tyson kneeled down slowly, in case Kai wanted him to suddenly leave so he could hit the wall a few times. Tyson felt that he was the one at fault in what had happened, and even though his captain was telling him it was not his fault nor problem, he still couldn't rid himself of the guilt he was feeling.

Kai shifted his sitting position, now he was practically hugging his legs resting his chin on his knees. Looking at the floor so not to give any emotions away. Eyes hidden by the sheer mass of his blue bangs. "Tyson, it wasn't your fault." Although his face could not be seen his voice gave him away, it was quieter and less aggressive than what he had said previously.

Tyson argued back, now lifting his head hoping to meet Kai's eye but the stoic blader did not make any bold moves. "How do you know that! If I had came then he wouldn't have-." Though Kai managed to cut Tyson off, with the same quiet voice even though Tyson was on the edge of shouting again.

"-he probably would have killed you as well." Now that Kai thought about it, Tyson had been quite lucky. What would have Adonis done if Tyson had came in, telling them all that he was the killer? Would Kai have minus a mother and a friend?

"But-." Again Tyson was cut off, and he knew now that he had to let Kai say his own part before trying to make his own 'feelings' clear about that day.

"-Tyson, it wasn't any of your business to begin with… It isn't your fault either." Tyson saw his captains body tense quickly as he said the words, 'your fault,' something told Tyson that he was now going to have to tread carefully.

"It may not be my fault but I still feel guilty." Tyson muttered again, balling his hand into a fist, hoping that Kai would see why he felt guilty instead of simply brushing it off as if they were his own emotions.

"Don't be." Kai said simply, the aura in the room had relaxed slightly, but Tyson still had to think carefully about what he was going to say just in case he said something that would upset Kai even more.

"I could say the same to you." Tyson fired back, a little more hostile than he would have liked, but Kai took no notice, as he began mumbling. "She was my mother, and it was my fault that she was killed."

Though Tyson did not like anything Kai had said previously and shook his head, defending Kai against himself. "Why was it your fault – why can't you just blame Adonis – or me!" Tyson was given a cold look, one that he had been trying to avoid since he had came into the room, though he did not try to look somewhere else he continued to try to argue with the older teenager. "Shut up, Tyson." Kai put his chin back onto his knees hoping that Tyson would just leave him alone.

"Adonis was the killer – you and the rest of your family were victims." Tyson urged, hoping that Kai would just say he was right and be back to his normal self. Tyson knew it wasn't going to be that easy.

"So what my step-parents were victims too!" Kai had now raised his head a second time, red eyes gleaming madly as he thought about making Tyson really regret those words. Tyson just snorted and cast back another question. "Would you count them as family?" It appeared to calm Kai down slightly and he received a small reply. "No."

"He was the one that hurt you, and you're going to take the blame for him?" Maybe he could try to make Kai admit that he was blaming himself too wrongly and then he wouldn't feel as guilty as he did. The statement seemed to insult Kai's very being.

"I'm not taking the blame for him!" Kai yelled, again looking as if he could murder someone - namely Tyson - at that very moment.

"Then why should you feel guilty?" Before Tyson had another thing to say, Kai exploded into a fiery rage.

"Shut up, Tyson. You know nothing of what happened that day - so leave!" Kai was beginning to crack, he had been angry which had then brought him back to his guilt and that had came back to his deep depressive state that he didn't want anyone to know about.

"I don't know because you won't tell me!" Tyson shouted back, not really wanting to put any blame back on Kai though his words seemed to have the right affect, well...kind of.

"It was my fault, Granger." Kai's hands were now white fists, that were trying their hardest to stop his tears from falling, he had tried to think of something these but, "Adonis did it because…" But those words that his father had said kept repeating themselves inside his head, over and over again.

"Kai?" Tyson slowly walked over to the other youth on that was currently sitting on the floor, probably wishing that the world should shallow him whole.

Kai knew that if he did start crying now he wouldn't be able to stop but for some reason he didn't want to not cry. Maybe it was because he hadn't cried since... Hell, he didn't even cry at the funeral.

"He killed my mother…wrecked my life simply because he hated me so much." Kai tried so sound as if he was just angry, and hoped that no whimper would escape, even though he was trying not to scream out loud he couldn't help but let a few sobs and sniffs out. Tyson blinked unsure on what to do, he had been feeling bad all this time about something that seemed so small compared to what Kai had been going through.

"He'd rather have me live and have everyone...I know killed... than simply kill me." Kai began to think about everything, how he had let his 'father,' back into his life, when he didn't need to. If only he had been more wary and then Enya may have still been alive, if only he could have stopped the gang from beating his mother up then she wouldn't have been hospitalised and then she wouldn't have...

For some reason unknown to either of them Tyson had begun crying, or shedding tears as he wasn't exactly aware of it. Perhaps it was the fact he had been somewhat selfish in thinking that he was the cause when his father had said and done all of those horrible things, he had been betrayed by a family member but not to the extent of killing another.

Tyson sat down next to Kai. Not really believing that a hug would be beneficial in a scenario like this. It seemed like an eternity that pasted before either of them could stop being as Kai would have put it, weak.

"Why are you smiling?" Kai glared, though he wasn't angry at Tyson he was angry at the thought of his father, at the pain he had caused his family to go through. It was his fault he was on the floor of a friends bedroom, crying, like some weakling thank the heavens that Tyson had said anything.

"First time I've seen you cry in a while." The only time he had seen Kai cry out in public - and it wasn't technically even in a public domain - was when he almost was killed by falling through ice that was about to collapse because of Black Dranzer.

"Shut up, you're the one bubbling." Kai sneered, not liking the fact that Tyson knew he had been crying, but it was even. He had cried and Tyson had even shed a tear or two, so it meant that he couldn't be teased about this.

After a couple minutes of silence, Tyson muttered, "Thanks." Sighing loudly he made sure that he no longer was crying - he didn't cry that often, there probably was a slim chance that Kai had cried more than he had.

Kai didn't raise his head but looked at the corner of his eye so he could see where and what Tyson was doing "For what exactly?" He couldn't see what he had done that deserved thanks from anyone. All he had done the past few months was isolate himself and hurt everyone else around him.

"Not beating me to a pulp." Tyson smiled as he heard an amused Kai shake his head and sigh quietly. Now that Tyson knew what was happening, maybe now he could leave Kai to himself, maybe this was what he needed to come back to his original self?

"I better go, since I told Selene to stall everyone. Even she's not that good at lying." Kai came back to thinking logically, everyone would have noticed what was wrong with him by now - even Selene, someone that didn't care that much about him knew something was very wrong. Mentally, emotionally, whatever. Still the mention of Selene made Kai wonder how Tyson managed to get the girl out of his house so easily. "Hm."

"I think I'll come too." Kai quickly sniffed, and his usual cold domineer returned, as if nothing had happened up to that point. Tyson blinked, wondering if Kai was serious or would just back out moments before they reached the front door of the dojo.

"Really?" Tyson tilted his head but received a blank from Kai, only to have him roll his eyes soon after and scoff himself. "Well who else is going to make sure you train hard enough…"

"I don't think anyone will be my friend if I say you're back to your evil training résumé because of me." Tyson sighed but couldn't help but smile to himself as he heard Kai's reply.

"Stop moaning, and move it, Granger." Tyson didn't reply but couldn't help but feel suddenly happy. Maybe now that the guilt was gone and that at least he knew, at least someone knew what was going on in Kai's head.

Not even looking at the other human Kai walked quickly on, only to speak the others name. "Tyson." Kai didn't really want to say the 't' word to his rival, but Tyson seemed to get the gist of what the acknowledgement was meaning.

"Your welcome, now come on, everyone else is probably already beyblading." Tyson moaned sounding half disappointed that there was a beyblade on and he wasn't in it. Kai who had been his usual quiet self decided to speak up. "I highly doubt it."

Tyson frowned at the taller blader and wondered how he could sound so sure about himself. "Huh? Why do you say that?" Kai simply nodded ahead, and Tyson's attention was redirected to the small group that was just on top of the large hill.

"Hey! Where did you disappear to, we thought you had only forgotten something." Rei shouted down, and the rest of the BladeBreakers decided to walk down, Selene following in turn and everyone noticed that Kai wasn't scowling.

Thinking up an excuse quickly, not wanting to disclose the fact that they had talked about that topic, Tyson looked around and then pointed to the two-toned-haired blader. "I forgot him. Now come on, let's beyblade." Without a reply Tyson ran up the hill, dragging Max along with him wanting a beyblade battle as soon as possible.

Rei said nothing when he saw Kai had decided to re-take his position of captain and began acting as normal as he once did. The only thought that was on Kai's mind was, was I that different? Deciding to himself he would now try harder to make sure no one knew about the pain he was going through.

Author's Note: Okay, I will try to update sooner, doing a little at a time through the week but it seems that only on Sunday's I get enough time to actually make any real progress. Please review, I like hearing peoples thoughts! (Lucky for everyone I'm not psychic.) Oh yeah and after I've done this fic I'm doing another about the dear D-boys.
