Tyson looked around the room. Max and Rei were leaning against the wall, both death gripping their beyblades, as they talked quietly to each other. Kai was sitting crossed legged on the floor with his eyes closed as if he was asleep but Tyson knew better. Kai was deep in thought and Tyson was anxious to know what he was thinking. Tyson was so transfixed on the blader that everything else in the room seemed to fade.
Tyson sighed to himself as he retreated into his own mind. How did this ever happen to me? I didn't think that I would fall for Kai. But here I am sitting across the room from him and staring at him. He has come so far in the time that I have known him. He doesn't really open up to anyone but has to me. Of course I would never tell the others the things that Kai has told me because it is not my place to tell but… oh god… the things he told made me want to wrap my arms around him and never let him go.
"Tyson Dragoon is going to need some major repairs," Tyson half heard this as he continued to stare at the beautiful phoenix across from him, "Uhmm… Tyson?… TYSON!!"
Tyson really jumped out of his skin as he glanced over at Kenny, who as usual, was sitting with his laptop and was analysing his beyblade. "Sorry Kenny I was thinking… What did you say?"
Kenny sighed and shook his head slightly before replying. "I was saying that Dragoon took some major damage against Brooklyn in that battle. It almost cracked the bit that Dragoon lives in. I don't know if I will be able to repair it for some time…"
"WHAT!" Tyson jumped up and ran over to Kenny and snatched Dragoon from him. "I didn't think I pushed him that far… what have I done… Dragoon my dearest friend…" Tyson couldn't seem to think anymore. He felt numb as if someone had knocked the wind out of him. He didn't even notice that he had gotten up and left the room.
"Tyson wait…" Kenny made to stand up but Kai cut him off.
"No Kenny I will go after him. The rest of you should get ready for bed." And before anyone could protest Kai left the room and followed after Tyson.
Dragoon? Can you hear me? Please my friend answer me? I need to know that you are alright? Please… Dragoon… Tyson didn't even notice that a tear had leaked out of the corner of his eye and was making a salty path down his cheek.
Master Tyson… you cry for me? Tyson stared at his beyblade in shock as a smile spread across his face. Tyson closed his eyes and when he opened his eyes again before him was his awesome dragon Dragoon.
Dragoon! Are you alright?! You aren't hurt are you?
Master not so many questions at once. I can only answer one at a time. I am fine. But I will need time to rest but I fear that there isn't any.
What do you mean? Of course there is time! We have all the time in the world. I will make sure that you are well taken care of and Chief will fix you up right again and then we will train so that this won't happen again.
Master I do not have much time left. So please listen and forgive me for not telling you this sooner. I feared this day would come but I hoping that you would be older and that your heart would not have attached it self to Kai.
Tyson felt his face flush as he stared, in complete shock, at his Sacred Spirit. I don't know… know what your talking about Dragoon. I just look up to him… and I think he is a great blader.. and he…umm.. and…
Dragoon grinned at his Master I know you better than anyone Master. You and Kai are the perfect match for each other and I know that you will make him feel again. Well one day… Master there is something about your family that you need to know and it will be happening very very soon.
Dragoon I don't understand? What is going to happen soon? What secret about my family are you talking about?
Dragoon made to reply but smiled instead as he whispered, You will find out very soon Master but someone is looking for you and I think that you need to talk to them first. Do not worry about me for we will be seeing each other a lot soon. I ask for your forgiveness now Master for not telling you about what is going to happen.
Dragoon? Tyson closed his eyes as Dragoon flashed a brilliant blue and disappeared. When Tyson opened his eyes again he was looking at the koi pond in his backyard. It took Tyson a few seconds for his eyes to adjust when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Tyson yelled out and nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned around and looked into the wine eyes of his captain.
Tyson felt Kai move and he, though he didn't want to, let Kai pull away from him. "No matter what Dragoon says to you Tyson we are all here for you." Kai bowed his head as he whispered, "I will always be here for you."
Tyson just sat there stunned. Okay did I just here that right? I know that Kai was finally opening up to me but now saying that? Oh God Kai please don't play with my heart. You are saying what I wish to hear. Tyson was pulled from his thoughts when Kai gently placed his hand on Tyson's face.
"Kai." Tyson leaned into Kai's hand and could feel the warmth that was radiating from him. He felt drawn to it and he liked it so much.
"Tyson I know that I have been a pain in the ass about my feelings but it is different around you. I feel that I can be myself around you. Well what I think is the real me. I can't seem to be this way around anyone else. Tyson I don't know what I would do without you."
"Oh Kai," Tyson pulled Kai to him again and hugged him tightly. "I will always be with you. I need you more then even I know." Tyson felt Kai shutter against him and pulled Kai away so that he was facing him. A single tear ran down Kai's cheek. "Don't cry my phoenix. You have come so far and I am so happy that I was the one that you opened up to."
Tyson wiped away the tear with the pad of his thumb. Tyson looked into Kai's crimson eyes and was instantly lost within there depths. "Tyson…" Kai leaned forward and started to close the difference between them. Tyson never blinked and never looked away. He could see all his emotions splashed throughout there depths.
Tyson felt Kai's breath brushing across his lips and his breath caught in his chest. He was finally getting what he wanted. And when Kai's lips contacted with his own he was instantly wrapped in a warmth that felt like his beloved phoenix. Kai tasted like pure fire and passion. He had never tasted or felt anything like it in his life. Tyson wanted more and he was going to get it.
He pulled Kai closer to him and when Kai yelped at the movement, Tyson took advantage and dipped his tongue into Kai's mouth and thoroughly tasted his captain. They were both lost in a sea of passion. Tyson rubbed his tongue over Kai's trying to get it to come and play with his. Kai moaned and it was if a gate was opened.
Kai couldn't believe that Tyson was responding to his advances. And when Tyson thrust his tongue into his mouth all thoughts left him and all he could do was feel. And when Tyson rubbed against his tongue he couldn't take it anymore. He needed Tyson and he wanted him. Kai moaned and pulled Tyson on his lap as they pulled away from much needed air. Kai was breathing heavily as he looked into Tyson's eyes. The look in his eyes made Kai groan. His stormy blue eyes were full of lust, need, and what made him light headed was the look of love in their depths.
"Kai… I.. need… I…" Kai didn't need any more words as he wrapped his arms around Tyson and pulled him even closer. Kai closed his eyes as Tyson squirmed on his lap and the friction was wreaking havoc on his groin.
"Tyson, stop mmmm… squirming…." Kai grabbed on his hips and stopped his movements. Tyson growled out as he ran his hands through Kai's dual shaded slate hair. Kai looked up at Tyson as he threw his head back in need and Kai couldn't help but lick his lips at Tyson's exposed neck.
Kai slipped one hand into Tyson's hair as he attacked his neck with hot wet kisses. Tyson moaned and rocked against Kai's pelvis. Kai was drowning in the taste of Tyson. He couldn't quiet place the taste but it was as if he was tasting a thunderstorm. Every time Kai's mouth came in contact with Tyson's skin it was if a power was flowing through him… and he liked it no… he loved it!
Blood was rushing to his groin as Tyson picked up the speed. Kai pulled Tyson's skin into his mouth and sucked, nipped and licked it hard. Tyson cried out in pleasure and Kai pulled away looking at the mark that was already beginning to show.
"Kai… my God!… please…" Tyson's eyes were now a shimmering silver and Kai was transfixed. He could feel something coming from Tyson as if he was calling him. It was pulling at his very soul. He wanted… no needed to please Tyson.
"Tyson…" Kai reached up and lightly kissed him.
"T-man!! Where are you!!"
Tyson jumped at the sound and fell back off of Kai's lap and landed hard on his butt. What the hell does that bastard what now! What could Gramps possibly want from my Tyson! Kai was pulled from his thoughts by Tyson's whimper. "Tyson are you okay?"
"I think I broke my butt! What does Gramps want anyway?! I want you! Not Gramps!" Kai smiled as he brushed a hair out of Tyson's face.
"Tyson!!"
"GRRR!!! He is going to wake up everyone if he keeps yelling!" Tyson stood up and brushed off he butt as he yelled, "Gramps I'm over here."
Kai stood up and placed his hand on Tyson's back. "I will head to bed. We can finish this later." Kai leaned in and nipped Tyson's neck and felt the shutter run through Tyson.
"I will be there as soon as possible." Kai smacked Tyson's bottom as he walked off towards their room, grinning as Tyson winced.
Kai half heard Tyson walk off towards Gramps. Kai turned and looked at his dragon as he reached his grandfather. Kai smiled when gramps pointed at his neck and Tyson trying to think up what to tell his grandfather.
Kai stood half in the doorway and half watching Tyson. Kai didn't realize how long he was standing there but for some reason he could feel distress coming from Tyson and when Tyson yelled Kai jumped.
Kai felt a growl deep within him when gramps grabbed Tyson roughly by the elbow and started to pull him away. Kai started to move closer towards them, but kept to the shadows reminding himself that gramps wouldn't do anything to hurt Tyson. Kai was getting closer and closer and Tyson was putting up a good fight.
"Gramps Let! Me! Go!! I don't want to go anywhere!! Please!!" Kai stopped in the shadows a few feet away from gramps and Tyson.
Kai heard gramps sigh heavily as he turned and faced his grandson. "I told you Tyson that you do not have a choice in the matter. It is time and you must leave. I will not repeat myself! Now come on!"
Tyson reached out and grabbed onto the windowsill and refused to move. "No! Gramps you listen to me!" Kai grabbed onto his scarf as the wind suddenly picked up. Last thing I need is to be seen.
"I am not going anywhere until you tell me why I have to leave in the first! And second I am not leaving Kai!" Gramps glared at Tyson but Kai could see in his eyes that the old man was caving and fast.
"Tyson please calm yourself or you are going to destroy the dojo. I can not explain to you why you must leave because someone could be listening. Now, I had to do this, your father had to do this, your brother had to as well and now it is your turn."
"My turn for what?!" Lightning streaked against the sky and Kai sunk farther into the shadows as the light flashed across the yard. What the hell is going on? The weather was beautiful a few minutes ago…Could this be Tyson's doing? No… could it?
"Kinomiya Takao! I will not tell you again!" The sky ripped open and it started to pour and the lightning crashed and lit the sky on fire. Takao?! What is going on?
"Gramps do not call me that! I am not…"
Gramps reached forward and grabbed onto Tyson's shoulders and turned him to face him. "Takao," Kai watched as Tyson glared at his grandfather, "You are a Kinomiya and as one you must go and you will go if I have to tie you up and drag you there myself! Dragoon wanted to tell you but he couldn't and there is no more time!"
"Gramps please I need to see Kai before I go! I can't just up and leave and not tell him that I will be back soon… well from what you have told I hope soon… I just can't leave him Gramps… I can't…"
"Tyson I know Kai means a lot to you but you have to let him go. It is your destiny…"
"KAI IS MY DESTINY!"
Kai felt his face heat up. Tyson was refusing to leave to go and do something because of him and he was defying his grandfather to do it. "Tyson, you have to go and I am afraid that you have to now. I will tell them that you have gone and that will be that. He will get over it."
"I won't though! Gramps Kai is everything to me. He is the fire in my soul and the passion that I feel every time that I wake up. He is what I look forward to each and every day! Please just let me tell Kai that I am leaving. If it comes from me then maybe he will understand…"
Kai felt like his head was going to explode. Here Tyson was yelling at the top of lungs that he, Kai, meant everything to him. Kai felt light headed. Finally I have what I want and by the sounds of things I am about to lose it! I will not let that happen. They don't know I am here and if I jump out and yell that I want Tyson to stay too them maybe he will have to listen. Kai was about to jump out when gramps started to speak again.
"Tyson if you tell Kai then Dragoon will have to act."
"I don't understand. What do you mean Dragoon will have to act?"
"No one and I mean no one that is not family are to know about this. If anyone but a Kinomiya finds out about this then Dragoon will have to erase you, Tyson, from his or her memory. This is your destiny as a member of this family."
Kai watched as Tyson fell to his knees and punched the floor. Kai felt like this heart was being ripped from his chest. No! NO! This can't be happening! "Gramps… I… why… I need Kai… and I can't tell him… he is going to hate me…" Kai could hear Tyson as he started to cry. The wind calmed and the lightning stopped but the rain seemed to come down even harder.
Gramps knelt down and placed a hand on Tyson's shoulder. "Tyson this is how it has to be. I will get your bag ready and you will leave immediately. I don't know when I will see you again Tyson but I know you will be in good hands."
"Gramps… please can I go and at least look at Kai. His is probably asleep now I need to tell him something even if he can't hear me."
Kai was about to run back to the room when gramps voice once again cut through the air. "Tyson I'm sorry but no. You need to leave and you need to leave now. Kai will understand.""No Gramps you don't understand. I love Kai. I love him with everything I am. I feel complete around him. I love him so much that just the thought of leaving him is tearing me apart." Kai clenched his heart. It felt like it was going to burst through his chest. Tyson loved him. Loved him with everything he had. Kai had to hold himself back when he heard this. He wanted nothing more then to run over to Tyson and pull him into a back braking hug and kiss him all over.Gramps pulled Tyson into a hug and held his shaking and sobbing grandson. "I'm sorry Tyson." Gramps pulled Tyson up and lead him away. Kai stood in the shadows trying to calm his breathing. Kai didn't remember turning around and walking back to their room. He didn't even remember stripping down and climbing into his bed. All he knew was that when he awoke in the morning Tyson wouldn't be there and gramps would try and explain why he left. Kai reached up and brushed something wet from his cheek and realized that he was crying. "I love you too Tyson… more then you will ever know…" With that Kai cried himself to sleep and awaited the cursed morning that would be without his Tyson in it.
