Title: When morning comes at night
Disclaimer: The characters aren't mine and I don't make any profit out of this.
Rating: PG-13 (this was difficult, because the first few chapters are probably G, but later it's deffinitly PG-13 and far, far in the future I even might have to change the rating into R)
Pairing: Kai/Tyson (but you have to wait, their love develops really slowly)
Summary: Set after season one, this story starts with finding Kai a place to live, but when he finally has found one, will he be able to live the normal life he wants to have? It doesn't look like it, he get's into serious trouble with a teacher and then there is always the threat to send him back to Russia. And on top of all of this Kai finally wants to trust somebody, and when he starts to fall in love, everything get's just too difficult. Will Kai be able to find a way through all this?
Warnings: There will be male/male touching and kissing and also noncon male/male touching and kissing (at least). Please don't read if this offends you!
This story will get looooong (the first five chapters are just the exposition!), and it probably will be slow paced.
IMPORTANT: This is my first fic in English, and I know, that there'll probably will be some mistakes in grammar and vacabulary. Because I myself don't like to read stories with many mistakes I'm searching for a beta-reader. He/She should be an English native-speaker and have a good knownledge about Beyblade, because (I hope not!) there could come, in future chapters, some minor mistakes in the content or with the characters. He/She should also like the Kai/Tyson pairing and be older than 16, because it could happen that the story will get R-rated. And one last point, this story could become long (when I leave the story board like it is now), so please be patient and have stamina.

1. Chapter
"You want to do all that in just one week?" Rei looked questioningly at Tyson.
The addressed teen smiled. "Don't worry Rei, maybe we'll have to hurry, but we aren't world-champions for nothing. If we can't master that, who can?"
Max and Rei both rolled their eyes at Tyson's self-confidence. Then the blond boy cast a glance at the list in his hands.
"Ehrm Tyson, perhaps Rei is right. I know, that you made a great effort with this list, but it has eighty four points."
"Yeah, and nearly sixty of them have to do with food. You just can't eat sixty times in six and a half days!", Rei added.
Tyson looked disbelievingly at his friends. Then he jumped up enthusiastically and snatched the list out of Max's fingers.
"Wait till Kai hears about this. You two always give up, before you have even tried!"
Tyson's loud voice reverberated in the long hall. A door opened and a young, but stern looking woman stepped out.
"Would you please be quiet, some people have to work in here!"
Tyson looked angry and was just about to retort, when Max grabbed his shirt and pulled the older teen back down in his seat.
The three boys were quiet for a minute. From time to time one of them sighed. Suddenly Max started to smile.
"You know Tyson, you were really right in one thing. Wait till Kai hears that you want to drag him to sixty different restaurants."
The face of the teen in the red jacket went pale, then he pulled the piece of paper out again and started to rip the list into small pieces. His two companions started to laugh loudly. When the door opened again, and the head of the woman came into sight, the three Bladebreakers quickly shut up again and stared with stern faces ahead.
They were all nervous, trying to hide it with some laughter. Tyson was hungry, but for once didn't feel it. Kai, I hope everything will turn out alright. You deserve it.
For the next few minutes everyone was quiet. Sometimes people walked along the halllway and disappeared through one of the doors.
Max stared at his watch. "What do you think, how much longer is this going to take?"
"I don't know.", Rei answered, "I just hope it is a good sign, that it's taking so long."
Tyson looked at him sharply. "What do you mean? I'm sure they found many nice families, who wanted to take him in. He's the captain of the bladebreakers after all. Kai probably just needs his time to decide where he wants to live."
No one responded to that, but the silence told Tyson all he needed to know. The other two weren't so sure that everything would turn out alright, and to be honest he had a bad feeling about it too.
Kai put his head in his hands. He'd been sitting in the small office of the local youth welfare department now for over fifty minutes and he still couldn't believe what the case-worker had told him. Mr. Dickenson was still talking to the small and pale looking Mr. Hooley.
Kai rubbed his eyes and forced himself to listen.
"Mr. Dickenson, I know it might be difficult for you to understand, but the fact is, that Kai is only half Japanese, the other half is Russian. We work hand in hand with departments in other nations and so it's natural, that if they found a qualified family for him first, that we have to take that chance. It's not easy to find a family , who want to take in a fifteen year old boy. And this is not any family, they've stated in the interview they had to undergo, that they know Kai from the time he lived with his grandfather.That's always a positive aspect, because we don't have to explain his special situation to them."
"What if I don't want to live with these people?" Kai tried to sound calm, but inside he was everything but.
Everything was falling apart, and that just when it had seemed like he finally had a chance to live the life he wanted to.With Voltaire and Boris finally in prison, Kai had started to feel safe. He had stopped thinking that behind every corner someone was out to grab him and bring him back to Russia.
And now they wanted to send him to a family that was befriended with his grandfather, that just couldn't be true. He wouldn't go there. He would prefer every Japanese orphanage over going back.
"If you don't want to live with them, then that is fine, however you have to discuss that with your Russian case-worker. And he will probably send you to a orphanage in Moscow."
Kai was furious and even Mr. D's soothing hand on his arm couldn't hold him down. The angry teen leaped up and slammed his fist down on Hooley's table.
"I don't want to go to Russia. Not in some stupid family and not in an orphanage.", sneered Kai in the face of the man across from him.
To his surprise the man didn't seem frightened. Instead the official sighed and spoke in a firm tone to him.
"I'm really sorry but I've already told you a few times that that just isn't possible. Your flight leaves tomorrow. Make the best out of it."
Kai just couldn't take it anymore. They had discussed this now for nearly an hour and the result hadn't changed.
'I have to get out of here', was all Kai could think about right now. Out!
He straightened up, gave Mr. Hooley one last meaningful glare and left the room. In the back of his mind he heard Mr. Dickenson call out for him, telling him that they would find a way.
The Bladebreakers continued their wait in the long hallway in front of Mr. Hooley's office in silence. They all looked up when finally the door opened and their captain walked out.
When Kai didn't stop by their seats but just walked past them, Rei found his voice.
"Hey Kai wait!"
The three boys ran after the older one. It wasn't difficult for them to catch up because Kai wasn't really trying to run away from them, he just wanted to get away from the room.
Outside the big building he stopped and sat down on one of the steps. Max, Rei and Tyson looked at each other, then shrugged and sat down next to their captain.
After a while Tyson couldn't take the silence any longer, he just had to say something, preferably something positive, something to get information.
"So Kai, let me guess, you're gonna live with a rich family?"
At first it looked like Kai didn't plan to answer, but then he said: "I guess."
Tyson beamed at this. "Okay, so somewhere in the better part of this town. Perhaps near that great French restaurant."
"No, not in this town."
"N..not in this town?", was all Max brought out. Rei just stared. Tyson was the only one who wasn't brought down by this piece of information. He went happily on with questioning Kai.
"But in one nearby right? So a rich family in a town…." Tyson's sentence was interrupted by Kai muttering something.
"Hä, what did you say?"
Kai stood up and turned around so that he was facing his three friends. He needed to tell them. They'd waited for him the whole time, that showed they really cared, besides they would find out tomorrow when he was gone at the latest.
"I said six thousand six hundred and twenty four kilometres. They want to send me to a family six thousand six hundred and twenty four kilometres from here."
This again was followed by silence. Rei looked sceptical, in his head he tried to think of everything that lay about six thousand six hundred kilometres away.
Tyson followed his leader's example and stood up. He went near to Kai and whispered in the taller one's ear. "Kai, Japan isn't that big."
Though he was whispering Max also heard his friend's words and muttered something along the lines, "Man Tyson, how can somebody be this stupid?"
Before Tyson could react to this offence Rei stood also up and moved over to Kai. "Russia! They want to send you back to Russia?"
At Kai's nod everyone gasped. Russia. They all knew that for Kai that country was connected with many bad memories. They knew, that he didn't want to go there.
"But Kai, didn't your case-worker tell us that he would try to find a family somewhere around here?" Max the last one still sitting, stood now by his friends too.
"He did, but he hadn't told me that I also have a case-worker in Russia; and it seems like that one was faster."
This was followed by a murmur of "shit"s. Tyson, always the optimistic, clapped his hands. "Don't worry Kai, we'll find a way out. We're a team, the best."
Kai was confused. He couldn't understand when he got so used to being around these guys and their help. He wouldn't admit it in front of them but he hated the thought of being alone again, and now he had to tell his team that he had to leave.
"Sorry, but there's no way out. I'm flying to Moscow tomorrow."
Tomorrow! That was the next shock for the Bladebreakers. "So this is our last evening together." Max mused out loud.
The four teens stood together like this in a small circle for another while until Kai turned around and started to leave again. He only got a few steps away when Tyson grabbed his arm and forced him to face them again.
"We should do a little 'see-you-soon-party', before you leave, so we can do a 'there-you-are-again-party' when you come back. What do you think Kai?", Tyson asked softly, the grip on his friend's arm already loosened.
Kai was desperate, but didn't want to show it his friends right now. Instead he tried to keep a cool façade.
"Okay, let's celebrate that I don't have to see you all again." Kai gave them all the meanest smile he could manage, but failed miserably because to his friends he just looked sad, almost lost.
