Getting Help?
The tournament was over, the plane landed and people had started gathering to meet the famous Bladebreakers. As usual, Kai was the last person to step out of the plane so all he saw was his team mates who were being carried away by their fans. Kai was left alone, all alone, no one waited for him, and no one even talked to him, but that was his own fault. Wasn't it? He was the one who was always silent, always thinking and always wished to be alone, even if it was really depressing. Kai sighed; he had his reasons for being that way. And that reason, waited for him, back at the mansion...
Kai walked down the streets with his hands in his pockets and his eyes focused on the streets. He never even noticed the twinkling stars above, and the giant moon, the moon was beautiful tonight, it had a pretty red glow, but few people noticed. If you could focus really hard on Kai, which was now impossible because of the darkness, you could see the sadness in his eyes, and the worried look on his face. It wouldn't be long now, he would arrive home soon. Kai wished he was able to stay away from his grandfather, but that would only lead to more trouble.
When Kai looked up, he noticed how the mansion doomed up out of the mist, he saw only a few lights were lit. Kai smiled, this was great, in the darkness, no one could see him cry, and no one would try to help. Somehow, that was depressing; Kai blinked a few times to stop the tears that were already forming in his worried grey eyes.
Slowly he stepped towards the big door, the gate that would lead to another hell, to the flames of darkness, the flames of a magnificent phoenix. Kaiplaced his hand on the doorknob and opened the door, only welcomed by darkness. Kai sighed again, he knew what was going to happen next, his grandfather was hiding, he was playing a game with him, something Kai hated more then anything else. He never liked playing games, especially when he knew how it was going to end.
Kai stepped forward and kept walking until he was in the middle of the room. It was a big room, big and silent... too silent.Kai fell over, more in shock then in pain, he knew it was going to happen, he knew his grandfather would sneak up on him like that, but still he was scared of the man, he was scared of people because of that man. His life changed so much since his parents died; it was like he fell out of heaven and into hell. Kai stood up and looked his grandfather in the eyes with a very angry look on his face... something he wouldn't take...
"So Kai, being bad are you?" asked the old man with a calm voice while he drove Kai to the wall on the other side of the room. Kai said nothing; he only continued looking at the man with a very angry look on his face. Suddenly, Kai's grandfather lost his calm voice and changed the look on his face into an angry, evil expression. Kai's expression was nothing compared to that. When Kai felt the wall behind him, he was scared; he didn't even know what was going to happen now...
Voltaire punchedhim but Kai ducked and slid down the wall. Kai lifted up his knees and got ready for the next impact. Voltaire just grinned and lifted Kai up into the warm air by his hair. Kai held his hands in front of his face. Voltaire punched Kai into the wall, Kai's head felt like it was being split into half. He wanted to scream, but no sound would come. He felt the blood flood over his face, but he didn't care, he just wanted to get out.
Kai tried to crawl away but Voltaire kicked Kai on his back and he fell over again. While Kai was lying on the floor, still paralyzed from the pain and barely holding onto consciousness, Voltaire got an iron stick that was lying in the fireplace. He lifted up the back of Kai's shirt and placed the hot rod on his back. Kai screamed, but Voltaire wouldn't let go, the hot steel burned Kai's flesh while Voltaire laughed as hard as possible.
For Kai, the laughter was ear piercing and it sounded like it could be heard on the moon. Kai felt how Voltaire lifted up the stick and saw through his hazzy how he threw it back into the fire. Kai still held up his tears, but he couldn't even move now, the pain was too much but Kai still wasn't unconscious. Voltaire laughed some more and turned Kai around. He started to give punches to his face, but Kai wouldn't cry, he wouldn't give in to someone who's trying to rule over his own grand-son.
When Voltaire stopped for a moment to wipe the blood off his hands onto Kai's clothes you could see some blood slowly dripping on Kai's face. Suddenly the doorbell rang; Kai was grateful for that moment and was able to let a smile appear on his face. He coughed up some blood and felt how he was suddenly pulled back by his grandfather and was put in the closet.
"Is Kai here?" That's was all Kai heard before he finally collapsed.
"No, Kai is out." said Voltaire with an evil grin on his face to a black- haired boy who seemed to be very worried. When Voltaire gave the cruel answer to the member of the Bladebreakers he closed the door and let him stand outside. Ray was confused but eventually, he went home again.
Voltaire opened the closet again and noticed Kai was unconscious, so he lifted him up again and shook him roughly until he woke up again. Kai slowly opened his eyes and saw the cold stare of his grandfather. "You know Kai..." Voltaire started, "you honestly don't know how much I missed this." With that he started his laughing again and Kai was about to collapse again when suddenly Voltaire slammed him onto the floor. Kai cried out in pain and lay still again. Before he left, he gave Kai another kick to his ribs and was satisfied when he heard a cracking noise. Kai wished he had never opened the door in the first place, he wished he had just run away, away from his team, away from this city, away from his fans, and away from the man Kai believed would've missed him.
Kai lifted himself up from the ground, he still felt really weak but getting away from here was all he really wanted. Kai turned around and wiped the blood out of his eyes. Voltaire walked out of the room, giving Kai a chance to catch his breath but fear tugs at him again when his grandfather comes back into the room holding a knife.Voltairestepped closer to the fearful boywho tried to dodge the knife but it was impossible to calculate where he was going while the blood kept coming back in his eyes and so got stabbed in the arm by the sharp blade.
Voltaire laughed again and threw the blood that was on the knife in Kai's face. Kai felt the door behind him and tried to open it. It was hard because of his wounded arm but finally he managed to turn the doorknob. He opened the door and fell outside. It seemed like it had been snowing because Kai landed in a beautiful white carpet of the cold soft ice. He noticed some footsteps in the snow and tried to follow them but Voltaire jumped after him. But Kai was ready this time; he turned over, lifted his legs and kicked Voltaire on his chest. Voltaire could still stab Kai's leg and fell into the snow, breathing heavily. Kai started to crawl again, away from Voltaire. He wouldn't come back, ever again. It started to snow again and Kai watched how the footsteps disappeared under a new layer of snow.
A few hours later you could hear a pissed of Voltaireyell in front of his door, and a few miles further away, you could see a little boy, lying unconscious on the ground, covered with a blanket of snow. A red liquid was spilling into the white snow, making it quite a dramatic view to watch. The boy was still breathing and far more determined to survive...
'I can't give up now... I have to keep on going and proove grandfather I'm stronger then he thinks, prove to him I'm more than a little boy, more then only the son of his daughter.'
Kai got up again and shook the snow off him. He was cold, very cold, and his face started to get a blue tint. He held himself on a tree and watched the red glow of the moon. He started to walk again, suddenly, Kai crashed and he went to sit in the cold snow, still bleeding and hurt. He gave up, he wouldn't make it, never, Voltaire had finally won.
He laid himself down in the snow, making it red. Kai felt how the pain became much harder to live with and wished he was dead already. Suddenly, he heard something, it sounded like people were yelling but even if that were true, Kai couldn't understand a word. The sound became harder and Kai turned his head, confused and curious at the same time. He noticed his team running towards him. He couldn't believe what he was seeing; it almost looked like they were caring for him. Tyson was the first person that arrived at the bleeding boy. He let himself fall in the snow and laid Kai in his lap. "No worries Kai" said Tyson. "It will all be okay." he whispered.
Ray and Max arrived as well and they looked as pale as Kai was. They couldn't say a word and they just stood there wondering what they could do. Tyson tried to get Kai back on his feet but it wasn't possible anymore. Kai was too exhausted to move any further. He closed his eyes and relaxed, knowing that at least someone cared for him. He felt himself being lifted up and opened his eyes in surprise. Tyson was holding Kai under his arms and Ray was carrying the leg-side. It looked like they wouldn't give up on him. Kai smiled one last time and fell unconscious.
---Later---
In the operation room, the doctors were examining the boy, shaking their heads in confusion. Quickly they started to take care of the wounds on the boy. His leg and arm needed stitches, just like his head and his other arm needed to get undera scanner. They noticed his arm and two ribs were broken when they were done. Kai needed to stay in the hospital for a while if he were to survive this, though he would have much rather died then be saved after all he ahd gone through. But right now, they could only hope...hope that they had done enough to save him.
The Bladebreakers could stay in the hospital for the night if they would have liked too. They all wanted to stay so they all got chairs and went to sit around Kai's bed. Even when all the blood was cleaned up, Kai still looked horrible. His face looked like it had been practically glued together, his arms both were in a really bad shape, which you could see just by looking at them. Kai's chest was moving up and down calmly, but his eyes were still full of pain. Max wasn't able to look at Kai's face and looked away trying to holdback his tears.
They stayed in the hospital for several days when one day, Kai finally opened his eyes. Tyson, who had a big sandwich in his mouth at the time, quickly spitted it out and went to sit closer to Kai. "Kai, how are you feeling buddy?" asked Tyson with a worried expression on his face. Kai just nodded, feeling like his tonguehad been removed earlier and his throat hurt and burned. "He's going to be fine," said Tyson with tears in his eyes. "He never was much of a talker." Kai made a small smile appear on his face and a light quiet laugh to go with it, Tyson always was able to make people stop worrying. The doctor, who was pleased Kai had awoken, told him he had to stay fora fewmore weeks till all or most of his wounds had healed. Kai nodded and noticed his team wanted to stay as well, something that made him really...happy.
A few days later, at lunch-time, Tyson was the first one to notice the door. He jumped up, expecting the nurse, but seeing the ugly face of Voltaire Hiwatari. Tyson jumped back, knowing full well he was the one who hurt Kai. Everyone started to growl, except Kai, who was sitting up nervously. Voltaire smiled at the growling boys and then threw a mean look at Kai. He stepped forward, the Bladebreakers tried to hold him back but they just weren't strong enough so Max ran off to find a nurse. Voltaire stood next to Kai's bed and suddenly gave him a big punch in his face. Kai felt blood coming out of his nose again but didn't even make a sound of pain or protest. Tyson and Ray just stood there with their mouths open; surprised someone could really do something like that to a person. Voltaire ignored the looks on the other's faces and gave Kai another punch in the stomach.
Kai held his mouth closed, he wouldn't scream, that would just satisfy Voltaire even more. Kai hated hospitals, for so many reasons but the main being that fact that his grandfather would just mock himfor needing a hospital in the first place.Kai wasn't able to movemuch yet and had no choice but to stay where he was and wait for help...if it ever came. Tyson and Ray started to yell at Voltaire. Ray wanted to punch Voltaire but he saw it coming and gave Ray a big hit to his forehead. Kai yelled out in anger, hardly yelling since his voice was still weak,when he saw his friend fall and wanted to attack but he still was very weak and never came very far, instead, he was being pushed back roughly and was being tortured some more. Kai bit his lip and did everything he could to ignore the pain but and winced harder when he felt tears welling up in his eyes. This time they were uncontrollable and nothing he did would stop them.
Suddenly, he heard the faint yells of a woman and doctors. With them was a cop and Max. They all looked at Ray and Kai who was bleeding badly again and the cop, who was a strong guy, jumped forward. He hand-cuffed Voltaire and dragged him out of the room. Ray was being picked up by the nurse and the doctors ran to the side of Kai. Apparently, the stitches in his head came lose and it wasn't grown back together yet. Kai felt the pain rise again and held his head. The blood was streaming really hard. Tyson and Ray wanted to run to Kai but they were being held back by the nurse.
While Kai's friends were dragged outside of the hospital room, the doctors were preparing to stitch the wounds again when suddenly: "Don't, please don't," Kai yelled as he was fighting to stay conscious. The doctors suddenly looked at him as if he were insane, "He will always come back and never stop, he has enough money to get out of jail and he'll kill me anyway." Kai yelled practically his voice softening when he felt even more faint with his team staring at him as if he had finally lost his mind. They never thought Kai would ever want to give up on himself.
"Don't listen to him," A woman told the doctors as she walked past the nurse that held back the other teenagers, "What are you waiting for? Help him!" she ordered coldly. The doctors nodded and quickly put Kai to sleep to stitch the large head wound. But it was harder to than they first thought. Voltaire had punched at the same spot again and made the hole even bigger. It was almost impossible to stitch it again and because of the blood that kept coming; they couldn't see where to stitch either.
The girl walked out of the room, helping the nurse move the restless teenagers back into the waiting room.
The girl finally got the rest of the Bladebreakers to sit down and dismissed the nurse who went back to help all the other doctors. Through all the confusion, the boys finally took in the stranger's appearance; the girl was a few years older then them, probably in her late teens and early twenties. She wore a pair of dark blue jeans with a matching denim jacket over a plain black top. She had long brown hair that fell down her back and beautiful green eyes that had hardened from the tension in the other room but started to soften with a more caring gaze.
"Who are you?" Tyson asked, rather irritably.
"I'm Agent Carter. I'm with social services and the police," The girl replied.
"You're an agent?" Max asked unbelievably.
"Yeah." The agent said, blinking at his strange reaction, "You surprised?" she asked.
Max blushed slightly, "Yeah a little." he said.
"You sure showed up at the right time." Ray noted.
'Thankfully!' The Agent thought.
A/N: Ok this is my new fic, I think it will be replacing Angel Of Neglect since I lost most interest in that fic when I thought of this one. This is a crappy fic but should turn out great later on. It gets more interesting, more information on the new agent's job and some more of Kai's fears plus a lot more action later on. I don't know how long this fic will last, maybe about 3 or 4 chapters but I have a cool, entertaining and rather humorous sequel planned for it. I hope this turned out ok but my first chapters are always a little twisted and messed up.
Please review! Reviews make me very happy//hint, hint/
