It was nearly dawn he awoke from sleep. The room was cold and just starting to fill with the blue tint of the morning sun. The boy's hair was matted to his face and sweat was poring from every pore on his body.
It was back, the dream that hunted him almost every night for the last month. Although he could never remember what happen, he knew that it must have been bad.
Hours later, the boy still laying in his bed; heard the sound of footsteps coming to the door leading into his room. A hard knock sounded on the wooden door frame, it was his team captain, calling him to get up and go down for breakfast.
It was the middle of summer vacation, and he had no where to go and no one to hang out with. "Ray " Tyson called from the kitchen " what do you want" "I don't know how bout pancakes"not really caring to much if he ate or not "sounds good"
At 6 years of age, and living in Hong Kong Ray become a orphan, his parents were killed by a drunk driver, behind the wheel of a 18 wheeler, his parents stood no chance, they were killed on impact. He was sent back to the Chines town were he was born to live with a couple of childhood friends. When he turned 13 he joined the blade-breakers and went to live in a city in Japan with other player named Tyson. 2 years later he is still living their, but with a few more additions, to the house.
Besides Tyson who was also 15, there was Max 15, Kenny the chief15 and Kai, the team captain, who was the oldest at 16. They all made a very good team together.
All though out breakfast Ray was very quite, but no one seemed to notice much except for Kai, because he is quite anyways. Ray sat there pushing his food around on his plate un till Kai finally had enough of the constant dragging of the fork.
Grabbing the fork and plate away form him, Kai though them into the water filled sink, pulled Ray up by the collar of his shirt and dragged him into the do-jo. As the rest of the team looked on in shock. "What the hell is wrong with you?" " What is wrong with me? What is wrong wit you, you are never like this, for the past month you had been mopeing around, not training hard, and you are always mouthing off to me" " Leave me the hell alone, it is none of you damn business, just leave me alone" Ray snapped, trying to make a break for it, Ray tried darting past Kai only to get a few steps. Kai quickly grabbed Ray's arm and wrenched it up behind his back, and slammed him against the wall. " See this is what I mean, I have never had to do this to you, maybe Tyson," Kai trying to hold back a chuckle " But not you, so tall me what is wrong" Kai increasing the pressure on Ray's arm, making him let out a cry pain " O , like this is a good way to get me to tell you" he struggled some to get lose and finally did..
"Now are you going to tell me or not" Kai said almost to his breaking point "No, I can't you would no understand. " Try me"
