This is dedicated to you! All of you, since the 29 of you have reviewed this story, some of you from the beginning, and some of you just once or the last chapter. I love all of you and you have my devotion since you kept me going even if I felt like giving this story up. (I did feel like that during a small block I had) but since I knew that at least someone wanted to know what was going to happen, I kept going. That's why this is dedicated to you guys, and you guys alone! This is the first multi chaptered story I have ever finished, and I owe it all to you guys. Thanks a lot for bearing with me during this fic, and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have and I hope that you like the way it ends. There will probably never be a sequel, this fic ends with this epilogue and I'm moving on to other fics, but I do love this story, and it and you guys, will always have a special place in my heart. I love you guys!

Disclaimer: don't own beyblade (this is SO destroying the mood… but whatever, I don't wanna be sued…. Heh ;D)

(There is a small make out session… enjoy ;P)

Epilogue Everything Explained

A bright light made Kai's eyes sting. He could hardly open them at all, he squinted, and the bright light gave of that he was somewhere very white. At first, Kai didn't feel anything at all, he was completely numb, and then… he felt something heavy on his chest. When Kai finally managed to open his eyes, he heard an annoying beeping sound, and when he looked down he noticed a mass of midnight blue hair on his chest.

"Takao…" he whispered and seconds later, the bluenett began to stir. Not much later, big stormy blue eyes opened and looked straight into bloody crimson ones.

"Kai! Omg you're awake!" Takao hugged Kai who was shocked at first, but then he wrapped his strong arms around the smaller boy who was shaking terribly. Kai could tell that he was crying.

"You okay Takao?" Kai knew that Takao wouldn't answer; he'd go rambling on about how hurt Kai was instead. Though, Kai knew that Max had probably healed him already, he didn't feel any pain anyhow.

"How can you ask if I'm alright? I wasn't the one who nearly died… well… I got alright as once as soon as I got that pill but… that's not the point! You got shot for god's sake! The doctors said that you could have died, even if it was "only" in the leg since you ran around on it and the adrenalin pumped your blood around faster making you loose a lot of blood and even if Max healed you, the doctors said that if you didn't wake up soon, you'd never do it! I was so worried!" Kai couldn't help but smile.

"Come on Takao, you know me, of course I'd survive, no way I'd die when I finally got you back." Takao blushed slightly and Kai sat up pulling the younger and smaller boy into an embrace. Then, they looked each other in the eyes, and Kai did something he had not done in ten years, he smiled. The smile wasn't bid, but it was a smile never the less. Takao could feel his eyes start to water and then, he threw himself around Kai's neck and kissed him. Totally out of himself in happiness, they were finally together, and nothing would ever break them apart. Nothing and no one!

Outside of the room, the two boy's parents stood, both couples were smiling, and Narumi was crying tears of happiness. For the first time in ten years, had she been able to see her son smile and she was happier than ever before. Max and Rei were also there, and they couldn't help but smile, their friends were finally back together, and nothing could ever break them apart again. Rei and Max embraced each other and gave each other a small peck on the lips; they too had eternity to be together, just as their friends.

A day later, Kai had been allowed to leave the hospital. Takao hadn't left his side ever since he had been put at the hospital, but after Kai had woken up, Takao's parents had brought him home and he'd slept almost the entire day. Now however, Takao, Kai, Narumi, Megumi, Mr Kinomiya and Mr Hiwatari were seated in the kitchen of the Hiwatari dojo. The others were eager to know why Takao had forgiven Miranda in the end, so Takao started telling the story of how Miranda Northbecker got caught up in the whole kidnapping drama.

"It all started June 25th 1995, the day Miranda Northbecker married James Granger. What Miranda didn't kn9w, was that James didn't love her one bit; all she was to him was the last piece of the puzzle that along with Voltaire had been puzzling together for almost 6 years. Miranda wanted a baby, what she didn't know was that James made sure that they didn't have any. So, after they'd been married for about a month and a half, James told Miranda hew he owed Voltaire a lot of money, more money than either of them could ever earn in their lifetime. Miranda was so sad, she felt like she was going to lose herself, since she knew that if Voltaire didn't get his money, then he'd kill James. But that wasn't all James told her that if they didn't pay him back, then he'd kill the both of them, leaving Miranda in such a state that she'd agree to anything, if only to save her, and her husband's lives. And then, one day, James came home with some "happy" news, Voltaire had agreed to let them get out of payment, if they kidnapped a small child and took care of it, raising it as their own. In the state that Miranda was at that moment, she didn't think of what she was really agreeing to, but she did. So came the day they took me away, apparently James drugged me and took me to the house further down the road. Miranda coloured my hair black and then they dumped the car at the local cemetery before taking the train to another part of town.

In the beginning, Miranda did treat me like her own child, but after about a month, she realised what she had done. She had taken a child, the mere age of 6, from his family, just in order for her and her beloved to survive. The guilt that pierced her heart at this point drove her away from me, she didn't want me to think of her as her mother since she knew that I had a mother that loved me and missed me. She took care of me, but didn't do more than for me to survive and be healthy. She felt almost happy when she noticed that I resented her; that meant that maybe one day, I'd be able to remember who I really was. As I grew older, Miranda grew more and more angry with herself, she felt so pathetic. If she only had turned James and herself in years ago, then maybe I wouldn't have had to go through this. She was so angry and disappointed at herself, that she, to her own growing hatred against herself, took it out on me. She blamed me for destroying her life, even though it had been her decision to do it, her own decision. Then, some how along the way, she found out that James wasn't blackmailed by Voltaire to kidnap me, James wasn't in debt to Voltaire, he was his partner, under the pseudonym of Boris Valkov. And so, when we moved back, she was filled with hope that I would remember who I was. She couldn't turn herself in, James was with her every time on the day, and she suspected that Bio Volt had them under surveillance. She noticed that I was starting to act strange, and she hoped that I had stopped taking the pills, and when she found out that I was friends with Kai, she was almost certain that I was going to remember. And then I turned sick since I hadn't been taking my pills, and Miranda got overwhelmed with guilt, so she started to look for the antidote they had gotten in case the pills started to hurt me and make me sick. And then well… she didn't write more from there since I remembered and she told me to go, she nearly pushed me out the door. But James got me first. While James were wrestling with me, Miranda hurried into the kitchen and did what she had wanted to do for ten years, she called the police, then she called you Kai. But James heard her, and started to beat her, he wanted to kill her, she didn't deserve to live after she'd betrayed him. Luckily, Miranda's diary told the police all of this since I, on Dragoon's demand, gave them the diary." Takao breathed out, it was a rather long and sad story, and he felt so sad for Miranda, she lost ten years of her life because the man she loved tricked her.

A week later, Kai and Takao was sitting on a snowy hill looking out over the frozen lake. The air was cold, but the boys paid no attention to it, they were two busy just being with each other. Kai pulled Takao into and embrace and buried his face in Takao's midnight blue locks while Takao snuggled into Kai's chest. The week had been hectic for the both of them, journalists had wanted interviews with them since the corner of the east, the keeper of the wind was finally found. They had agreed to every single interview, but they hadn't let out any personal fact concerning their personal life. That was too private.

The two boys completely content in each others arms looked each other in the eyes. Then Kai smiled again, that same small smiled that showed that he hadn't smiled for a very long time. But this little smiled, made Takao the happiest person in the world. Then, at the same time, Takao leaned up and Kai leaned down, and their lips met in a touchy sweet and emotional kiss that showed them how much the other cared about him.

They rolled in the snow, their lips still locked gently to each other. Then, they broke apart for air, both panting heavily. Kai, who was now lying on top of Takao, looked down at the younger boy. His cheeks were flushed, his hair spread around his face like a dark halo and his eyes shining with undying love. Kai leaned down and kissed Takao's lips again, this time licking his bottom lip begging for entrance. Takao didn't even think about it before granting Kai access to his mouth, their tongues now battling for dominance. Takao tilted his head giving Kai even grater access to his mouth. Takao flung his arms around Kai's neck to make sure that he'd go nowhere, and then he started to drag his finger through Kai's soft hair.

When the two finally broke apart again, they were both completely out of breath, but… they didn't really care about that. All that mattered for them now, was that they had finally found each other, and that they'd be together forever. Just like soul mates are supposed to.
