Chapter
01: Counting the Days

~ Tyson ~


The day after he�d received the letter from the BBA and Kenny and Hilary had
wrung a promise not to give up on it out of him, Tyson found himself sitting at
the kitchen table, with his father and Hiro opposite himself.


�What did you want to talk to us about, son?� The eldest Kinomiya
inquired.


�It�s about that letter you and your friends each got yesterday, isn�t
it? The one from the BBA?� Hiro eyed his little brother.


�Yes.� Tyson sighed and pulled out the envelope from where he�d had it
hidden under the table. He slid it across the table at his father and
brother. �Go ahead and read it, Dad.�


Hiro dumped the contents of it out and picked up the letter from Mr. Dickenson,
handing it to their father. �Tyson is being offered a scholarship to that
new BBA university in Canada,
Dad.�


�Is that so?� He read the letter through quickly and smiled at
Tyson. �This is great news, son! I bet you�re very excited to go�or
not.� Mr. Kinomiya frowned at the sad, despondent look on his youngest
son�s face. It didn�t suit him at all. �What�s wrong, Tyson?
Why aren�t you happier about this?


�Because I can�t accept it.� The bluenette leaned back in his chair,
staring at the tabletop.


�Why not?� Hiro asked, confused.


�I can�t leave the dojo. It�s my responsibility now. Gramps always
said it would be mine when he�and he taught me to take care of our family�s
home so that I could.� Tyson answered softly, not looking at either of
his remaining family members. �I can�t leave.�


�That may be, Tyson, and I�m proud of you for wanting to accept your
responsibilities � even if you have to give up what you want. But your
grandfather wouldn�t have wanted you to do that. He always expected you
to go to university some day.� Tyson�s father told him sadly. �I
think he expected to around to see it, you know.�


�Even if he did, it doesn�t change the fact that he�s gone and I�m the only one
who can take care of this place.� He looked away. �There�s nothing
I can do about it. You have to go back to work soon, Dad, and Hiro will
leave again, too.�


�Actually, no. I won�t.� Hiro shook his head and smiled
faintly. �I intended to stick around for a while this time when I came
back, when Gramps first go sick. If you want to go away to school, kid,
then go. I can look after this place well enough, I�m sure, while you�re
gone.�


Tyson�s head snapped up and he stared at Hiro, tears welling up in his
eyes. �You�re serious? Are you sure, Hiro? You aren�t just
saying that because you just want me to go, are you?�


�Please�� Hiro waved that off, grinning at him. �Of course not. You
know I wouldn�t say it if I didn�t mean it, Tyson.�


The youngest Kinomiya sniffled back tears and got up, slowly walking around the
table to throw his arms around his older brother�s shoulders.


�Thanks, Hiro.� He whispered, hugging him tightly. �You�re the
absolute best.�


�Nah.� Hiro chuckled, hugging him back briefly before untangling himself
from Tyson. �Okay, already! Let go, Tyson.�


Sniffling, the bluenette let go and, practically bouncing with joy on the spot,
exclaimed, �Oh! I have to go tell Kenny and Hilary! I�ll be back!�
before dashing off to get his shoes.


When he�d gone, his father looked at the eldest of his two sons. �Had you
really planned on staying, Hiro?�


�Yes. The team Mr. Dickenson had me coaching doesn�t need me any longer,
and when Gramps got sick I decided it was time to come home. Truthfully,
Dad,� Hiro confided, smiling slightly. �I was beginning to get a little
homesick.�


�You have been gone for many years, son. You were only 15�or was it
16? Well, you were barely old enough when you left home.� Mr.
Kinomiya looked in the direction Tyson had dashed off to. �this means a
lot to him. I could see it. I don�t think your brother has been
this happy or excited about anything for a very long time now.�


�Yeah. Not since that last World Championships where he and the cyborg,
Zeo, fought, I would guess.� Hiro sighed. �He deserves this.�


The two Kinomiyas shared a moment of silent agreement then went off to do their
errands for the day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Tyson went flying through the noodle house restaurant that Kenny�s parents
owned like a blue-black whirlwind, just barely remembering to toss a greeting
at Kenny�s parents as he flew past and zipped up the stairs to his friend�s
room. He would have just walked in, but the door was locked.


He knocked impatiently, calling out, �Chief! Hey, open up! And get
Hilary off you, dude! You two can make out later.� He heard two
startled exclamations and a loud thump � probably Kenny tripping on something
in his haste to get to the door.


�Tyson?!� Kenny threw open his door and stood aside. �What are you
doing here? Is everything okay?�


�Things just got so much better, Chief! Hi, Hilary!� The bluenette
gave her one of his patented smiles, one they hadn�t seen in a very long
time. �I get to go with you guys!�


�Really!?� Hilary got up from Kenny�s desk chair where she�d been
sitting and gave him a huge hug. �That�s so awesome! How? I
mean, how did you manage to work it out so you can?�


�Did you talk to your Dad and Hiro, Tyson?� Kenny asked, smiling at the
good news.


�Yep. Hiro said he�d decided to stay home quite a while ago anyway, and
he hadn�t changed his mind yet so�he�s staying with the dojo and I�m coming to
university with the two of you!� Tyson grinned and they grinned back.


�This is fabulous! See? We told you it would work out somehow,
didn�t we?� Hilary couldn�t resist an �I told you so� or two. Tyson
just laughed and nodded ruefully.


�Yes, Hil. I�ll admit it. You were right.�


Her jaw dropped comically. �Quick! Kenny, record that
statement! We may never hear it again!�


�Har har.� Tyson rolled his eyes.


�This calls for celebration! Stay for supper, Tyson. We can get my
mom to make us whatever we want, okay?� Kenny offered.


�Yeah! Sure! Can I borrow your phone to let Dad and Hiro know I�m
not coming home for supper?�


�Go ahead.�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Exams were soon over and it finally came time for the graduation
ceremonies. There was a bit of an emotional time for Tyson and his
family, since he missed Gramps terribly and wished the old man could have been
there to see him finish high school. Still, the World Champ knew wherever
Gramps was, he was watching Tyson, and always would.


The three close friends exchanged small gifts with each other for graduation
while at the dojo before they got ready for the formal dance that evening.


�Tyson, is my tie straight?� Kenny asked for what must have been the
tenth time. The bluenette sighed and glanced over.


�Yes, Chief. Quit fooling around with it and you wouldn�t have to worry
about it so much.�


�I�m just anxious, that�s all.�


�Why?� Tyson sat on the edge of his bed to pull on his dress shoes.


�I�ve never been to a dance � not with Hilary. Not since we started
dating��


Tyson smiled. �Oh. Well, stop getting yourself all worked up about
it, Kenny. You�ll give yourself an ulcer, or something.�


�It�s not�just that, Tyson.� Kenny shuffled his feet, slowly turning a
dull shade of red as he reached into the pocket of his blazer and pulled out a
small box. �There�s this, too��


Tyson stood up and adjusted his pant-legs over his shoes then walked over to
see what the petit brunette was trying to show him. �What, Chief?�
He took the box and opened it.


�Kenny�� He sucked in a sharp breath at the sight of the simple gold
band. �Is this what I think it is?�


�I�I�m going to ask Hilary to marry me, yeah.� Kenny fidgeted
nervously. �We probably wouldn�t have the ceremony until after we�re done
university, but��


�Wow.� Tyson carefully closed the box and tucked it back into Kenny�s
blazer pocket, patting it. �There. Don�t lose that, Chief.�
He warned. Then he grabbed Kenny in a gentle headlock and lightly rubbed
his knuckles into the younger teen�s head. �I�d better be invited to the
wedding, dude, or I�ll have to crash it �cause I wouldn�t miss it for
anything.�


�Ah! Hey! Let go! Tyson!!� Kenny laughingly protested,
jabbing his fingers into his friend�s sides, trying to tickle him in defence
and get the bluenette to release him.


The door to Tyson�s room opened and Hiro poked his head in. �Aren�t you
two ready yet? Geez! You�re worse than girls! Hilary�s been
out here waiting for nearly 10 minutes now!�


Tyson ruffled Kenny�s hair one last time then let him go. �We�re done and
on our way, Hiro. Tell Hilary to keep her skirt on and have some patience.�


�What is taking so long?� Hiro wanted to know.


�Just a little guy talk, big brother.� Tyson replied, innocently.


�Well, talk later, kid, and hurry out. Dad and I still want to give you
your grad gifts before you leave.�


�Okay, okay!� Tyson gestured at the door, which Hiro left open as he
turned and left. �We�d better get going, Chief.�


�If I start to look like I�m going to fall over, catch me?� Kenny
followed his friend out the door.


�Relax, Kenny, You�ll be fine. She loves you.� Tyson reminded him
quietly.


�I know.�


�Finally! What in the world took you so long?!� Hilary demanded,
tapping her foot impatiently. She had done her shoulder length mahogany
hair up in an elaborate style of ringlets and a twist at the back, and she wore
a forest green gown with spaghetti straps that sparkled when she moved and
sheathed her figure perfectly from her shoulders to the floor. Around her
neck she wore as simple gold chain necklace � which had also been a present
from Kenny on their first anniversary two years earlier.


Poor Kenny had to stop and stare at the vision his girlfriend made, asking
himself what he could have possibly done to deserve the most beautiful girl in
the world (to him at least). Hilary blushed slightly at the stare of
wonder from her boyfriend and went over to him.


�Y�you look�beautifully, Hilary.� Kenny stammered. Tyson snickered
and got an elbow in the ribs from his brother.


�You could compliment her, too, you know.� Hiro whispered in Tyson�s ear.


�If I did that, I�d give Hilary a heart attack.� He whispered back,
watching as Kenny helped her slip the wrist corsage he�d brought for her onto
her wrist.


�You two have the weirdest friendship, Tyson.� Hiro shook his head.


�We have fun.�


Tyson�s father came into the room then, holding a digital camera. �Okay,
kids! Let�s take a couple of pictures, shall we? He snapped a few
memories for them and handed Hiro the camera before pulling out a large box
from a closet. �Here, Tyson. This is for you.�


Tyson�s eyes went wide and he grinned, going over to the box to start tearing
away the wrapping paper. He laughed in delight when he saw the image on
the cardboard. �A new stereo system! Awesome! Thanks a lot,
Dad!�


�You�re welcome, son.� The elder gave the youngest a bear hug. �I�m
very proud of you, you know.�


�Thanks, Dad.� Tyson sniffled and buried his face in his father�s
shoulder for a moment, hugging him hard. �I love you.�


�I love you, too, Takao. Congratulations, son.� His father let him
go and propelled him toward the door. �Now it�s your brother�s
turn. I believe his gift is outside, isn�t it?�


�I�m pretty sure that�s where I left it, yeah.� Hiro drawled, winking at
their father. Hilary and Kenny followed them outside curiously, hand in
hand.


Stepping outside, Tyson looked around eagerly. �So�what is it, Hiro?�


Hiro smiled mysteriously and steered Tyson out the front gate of the dojo and
stopped him on the sidewalk. �there it is. What do you think?�


Tyson blinked at the sporty little car parked there, gleaming brand new in the
evening sunlight. �Is it in the car? Because I don�t see it.�


Hilary and Kenny fell over and Hiro sweatdropped heavily. �Uh, Tyson�it is
the car.�


�It is?� His eyes were huge when he looked up at his older brother in
shock. �You�a car? For me?!�


�Yep. Ah�I know you can�t take it with you to university, little brother,
but I promise to take good care of it while you�re gone. It�ll be here
when you come home.� Hiro gave Tyson a one armed hug and laughed at his
dumbfounded expression.


�I�I don�t know what to say, Hiro!� Tyson was speechless.


The older Kinomiya dangled a set of keys in front of the younger one�s
nose. �I think you�d all better get going. You don�t want to miss
your Grad party, do you?�


Tyson grinned and plucked the keys from his grasp. �Definitely not.
Come on, Kenny! Hilary!� Totally thrilled, he glomped his big
brother briefly before running to the driver�s side and getting in. His
friends exchanged grins and Kenny, being a gentleman, opened the door for
Hilary and helped her get in without ruining her dress, then got in, too.
They waved at Hiro and Tyson�s father as Tyson pulled away from the curb and
drove off toward the school.


�It never ceases to amaze me how big of a heart Tyson has.� Mr. Kinomiya
said, watching the taillights disappear. �you and I haven�t been around
for much of his life and yet he doesn�t hold it against us. And he has
such good friends.�


Hiro shrugged, smiling. �He�s a Kinomiya, and he was raised by the best
of us. Gramps always knew what he was doing � especially with my little
brother.�


�I�m so proud of you both.�


�Thanks, Dad. Come on. Let�s go have some tea, shall we?�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The three teens arrived at the dance a few minutes late. Tyson had wanted
to drive his new car around a little just for kicks, not that his friends had a
problem with that. They enjoyed it probably just as much as Tyson did.


Walking into the gymnasium, Tyson had to wince a little as his ears were
assaulted by the loud pounding of music. He wasn�t particularly
interested in dancing or anything, but he did want to participate in the
festivities of his graduating class.


Many of the girls tried asking him for a dance, but the bluenette would just
shake his head and politely (and gently) turn them down. Kenny and
Hilary, on the other hand, danced as many dances as they could.


It was during one of the final slow dances that the Chief finally took his
girlfriend aside, with a grinning Tyson watching nearby, and got down on bended
knee in front of her.


�Hilary,� Kenny began, looking up at her through his hair and reaching out to
take her left hand in both of his. Hilary gasped and blushed, having a
pretty good idea what the brunette genius was about to do. �You know that
I love you with all my heart, and that I always will.�


�Oh, Kenny�� She sniffled, tears starting to well up in her wine-coloured eyes.


�I was hoping, Hilary, that you would make me the happiest person in the world
and honour me with your hand in marriage.� Kenny said in a thick,
somewhat shaky voice, as he dug the ring out of his jacket pocket and opened
the box, taking the simple gold band with the respectable sized diamond out of
it.


Tears streamed down Hilary�s cheeks and she beamed at him as he slid the ring
onto her ring finger � a perfect fit.


�the honour would be all mine, Kenny.� She replied softly, drawing him to
his feet and wrapping her arms around his neck and shoulders. Kenny
hugged her back and sighed in relief when she said, �Yes, Kenny. I�ll
marry you.�


Kenny pulled back slightly and smiled, wiping away her tears with gentle
hands. �I love you, Hil.�


�I love you, Kenny.�


Tyson sighed and turned away to give them privacy as they kissed, wiping away a
stray tear of his own. He couldn�t be happier for his two closest
friends, and at the same time he envied them a great deal. At that moment
he wished more than ever that a certain crimson-eyed, slate-blue haired phoenix
blader was with him and could love him in return.


Shaking his head at himself and shoving his sudden loneliness and sadness away,
Tyson turned back to go congratulate the newly affianced couple.

~*~*~ June
28, 2004 ~*~*~


High school�s finally over. No more classes, no more exams, and no more
mad dashes at 8:20 am to make it to class by 8:30 am. The best part of it
is, I graduated today � with honours, no less. I know a lot of people
weren�t expecting that, but it happened. I have to thank Kenny and Hilary
for it though. Without them I�d have been so lost and clueless. And
depressed. I mean, I am still down about Gramps and all, but I think it
would have been so much worse if Hilary and the Chief hadn�t been here for me.


I did get some good news, though. Hiro and I sat down with Dad, and
together we worked out a way for me to take a BBA scholarship I�ve been
offered. Hiro has finally decided to stay home, and so he�s going to take
care of the dojo for me so that I can go to the new BBA university in Canada,
where the scholarship is to. Kenny and Hilary got one, too, so we�re all
going together. I�m glad. I don�t think I could handle going there
all alone, not knowing anyone. Believe it or not, I am kind of shy.


We heard from Max, and he seems to have gotten a scholarship, too. It
makes me wonder if we all got one � all us Bladebreakers, that is. I
don�t know about all the other teams. We haven�t heard from Rei yet,
though, so it�s hard to say. All I know, is that I hope you were offered
one, too, Kai, and that you accepted because then it means I might see you
again, and I want that more than anything. Just to see you again would be
worth my scholarship and having to leave the dojo in Hiro�s hands � even if he
really is capable of running the place (though I�d never tell him that).


Here�s some news I bet you were expecting: Kenny finally asked Hilary to marry
him. I know you�re not really into romantic stuff but even you would have
had to admit how sweet it was if you�d been there to see it. The Chief
did it at our grad dance tonight � went down on one knee and everything.
It was beautiful. Hilary said yes, of course, and the both of them were
all giddy and blushing the rest of the night. It was cute and funny at
the same time. What I�d like to know, is how Kenny saved up for the ring
because it a very pretty, fair-sized sparkly diamond on it. I just would
like to know out of curiosity, since as far as I knew, Kenny didn�t have a
job�unless his parents were paying him for the casual work he did at their
restaurant. Oh well. It�s not important, I guess. They�re
extremely happy, and I�m glad for them.


I think I�ll be able to get a decent amount of sleep tonight for once. I
hope that wherever you are and whatever you�re doing, Kai, that you�re well and
happy.


Yours always,


Kinomiya Tyson.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Two months passed quickly. Tyson spent that time going over all the
things he was leaving Hiro to do around the dojo while he was gone. Then
he began to pack, getting ready to have his belongings shipped to the
university so they�d be there when he arrived. Kenny and Hilary had done
the same, though Kenny had a great deal more to ship what with all his computer
equipment and stuff.


The week before they had planned to leave, an unexpected but very welcome guest
arrived at the dojo.


Tyson, Kenny, and Hilary were in the dojo�s backyard, where Tyson was
attempting to teach Hilary how to blade � with a little more instruction from
the Chief, too.


�See, if you practice your launches enough, Hil, you�ll become more and more
comfortable doing it until it�s almost a natural movement and you don�t even
have to think about it anymore.� Tyson explained. �You�re still a
beginner so it�s not surprising you��


�I suck.� Hilary finished, dryly. �Maybe I�m just not meant to be a
blader.�


�Aw, come on, Hil! Have some confidence in yourself.� Kenny
scolded, wagging a finger at his fianc�e. �If I can learn to
actually blade, then so can you.�


�Okay. What do I do next, then?� She asked, tapping her foot impatiently.


�May I suggest learning from a real teacher?� A familiar voice spoke
up. The three teens looked around, recognizing it.


�Rei!� They chorused, spotting him leaning against a post and watching
them with an amused grin. He pushed away from his position just in time
to catch Tyson, who had launched himself at his old team mate and glomped onto
him.


�Hey, guys! How�s it going?� Rei grinned at them over Tyson�s head
then looked down at the bluenette, hugging him hard in return. �Hey,
pal. How�re you doing, Tyson?�


The bluenette sniffled and pulled away, giving Rei a watery smile. �I�m
okay, dude. It�s been hard, but I�m okay.�


�Good. I was worried about you when I got Kenny�s letter.� Rei
clasped his young friend on the shoulder and squeezed. �I mourned, too.�


�Thanks, Rei. It�s good to see you again.�


�Right back at you, Tyson.� Rei smiled and hugged Hilary when she came up
to him, then shook Kenny�s hand in greeting. He did a double-take and
held out his hand to Hilary. �Is that what I think it is? Let me
see that!�


Hilary giggled and gave her blushing fianc�e a silly grin, raising her left
hand and placing it in Rei�s so he could study the ring. �Yep! It�s
official!�


Rei�s grin flashed fang. �Congratulations, Hil!� He said, giving
her a quick kiss on the cheek and then giving Kenny a one armed hug, ruffling
his brown hair. �You, too, Chief! Way to go!�


�Ack! Thanks, Rei! Please let go?�


�Heh. Sorry, Chief.�


They sat down along the board walkway and chatted for a long time, catching up
after Rei�s long absence.


�Hey! This is great! We all got scholarships � and the White
Tigers, too!� Tyson exclaimed.


�Yeah! And Maxie too! I wonder if the All-Starz got one,
too?� Rei wondered.


�It�ll be really great to see everyone again.� Kenny agreed.


�So you�re staying here until we all leave next week, Rei?� Hilary asked.


�That was my plan. If Tyson doesn�t mind an unexpected guest.� Rei
winked at the bluenette.


�There will always be a place for old friends in my home.� Tyson declared
solemnly, smiling a little. �I�m glad to have you, Rei. I hope you
won�t mind sleeping in my room, though. Dad and Hiro take up lots of
space.�


�Not at all, pal.� Rei chuckled as Hiro appeared behind his younger
sibling and gently whapped him upside the head.


�Brat.� Hiro said fondly. �Dad�s calling for take-out. Any
requests?�


�Oh yeah!� They scrambled to go in and make decisions for supper.
