Search for happiness
The sunbeams sliced through the lush green leaves that swayed lightly in the gentle breeze, causing ripples of sunlight through out the park, the slim branches moving with them while the strong trunk held them strong. Happy tunes of loving birds mixed with high-spirited glee of distant voices, adding joy all around and to all. The grass swayed as if dancing to the songs from every side, except for one part, shaded by the large oak and flattened by the body that had been lying in this spot for quite some time.
With arms behind his head, hands mixing in with the gray of his hair and legs crossed at the ankles, the boy lay there, motionless, as if sleeping, the blue of his hair hiding his eyes and the trademark strips that adorned his softly curved cheeks. Kai had been lying in this spot since dawn had risen that day and even when people had walked by or the occasional squirrel had quickly scurried over him. Nothing could wake this boy from his thoughts.
The world championships were over and once more the bladebreakers were going their own way, Rei had already returned to his village and it was just a matter of days before Max would go back to America. Tyson and Kenny would go back to their usual routine. but what about Kai? What would he do now? This question had been running through his mind since the finals ended, and it was these thoughts that occupied him now. He had no place in Japan, he just didn't feel like he fit anywhere. he supposed there was always Russia. but he didn't want to hold his hopes out.
A lengthy sigh escaped Kai's pink lips as he opened his eyes, crimson depths looking up above as his mind still buzzed with those thoughts. He just didn't feel like he fitted in anywhere, sure the others tried to make him feel welcome. but for Kai it just didn't feel right. He wanted to be somewhere that felt right. like everyone else did; they all had somewhere that they felt at home. Kai didn't.
Standing from his seat Kai brushed himself off before shoving his hands in his pockets and walking through the park back into the busy streets of the city. Keeping his head down deep in thought, Kai walked through the streets, letting his feet lead the way, knowing that he'd get where he'd want soon enough. He wasn't sure what he was going to do, he didn't want to stay here. not here. but he didn't want to go to his home, not while it had all those memories of the past.
Kai sighed as he looked up to find himself in front of Tyson's home, and where he'd been staying for quite sometime. He definitely felt like he had overstayed his welcome, and it was time for him to leave.
***
Dinnertime can quick and like usual Tyson had seated himself at the table, chopsticks in hand, hungrily awaiting his food as Grandpa waved his finger at him, telling Tyson about how he should have more manners. the same lecture he gave every meal time. Eventually Kai walked through holding a tray with their meals on and silently laid them out before taking his own and sitting at the far side of the table.
Once again he let himself fade away from reality and into his thoughts while the other two gulped down their meals, yelled at one enough and laughed at each other, ignoring Kai's distant appearance. He was happy about that though, it gave him time to think about what he was going to do, which he'd been doing way to much. Why couldn't he find an answer? Was it that he was too afraid of what the answer might be. did he even know what the answer was. Where did he belong? He didn't know but.
"Earth to Kai!! Kai are you alright? You haven't touched your food!" Tyson's voice broke him out of his thoughts, blinking and looking up at the two concerned face that awaited his reply.
"I'm fine, Tyson." Kai mumbled, looking down at his food that was getting colder.
"Well that's good to hear, now eat up before Tyson gets a hold of your meal!" Grandpa joked, causing Tyson to fume.
"Hey! I wouldn't do that!"
"I have something to say." Kai's quiet but dominating voice broke their squabble and once more they turned their eyes upon him.
"What is it, Kai?" Tyson blinked, looking at him curiously.
".I. I'm leaving." Kai answered simply.
"What do you mean? Where are you going?" Tyson asked, frowning.
"Yeah, you know you're always welcome here, kid!" Grandpa added.
"I don't belong here. This is your home Tyson, not mine. I need to find my own home, somewhere where I belong, somewhere where I can feel at some, where I can go and feel safe and relaxed. This is where I belong and I need to find that place, I need to feel like I belong somewhere." Kai spoke carefully, at the same time trying not to insult Tyson's home and put his thoughts together as they come to him.
"But, you do belong here Kai, with us, with the bladebreakers. We're friends, aren't we?" Tyson asked, looking hurt at Kai's decision.
"The bladebreakers are no more Tyson, but you are my friends that is true but we all have our own home, you are here, Max is in America with his family and Rei is with his tribe in China. but me. I don't have anywhere where I belong. and I need that right now. I'm not abandoning you Tyson."
"So what are you going to do?" Tyson asked as he began to understand what Kai saying.
Kai thought to himself for a while. What was he going to do? And then it came to him, "I'm going to do some traveling. see the world, visit new places. and hopefully find somewhere that make me happy." Happy. That word alone brought a smile to Kai's face, he'd like to be happy, have somewhere that would make him feel happy. This was his search for happiness.
"Well then, when will you be going?" Grandpa said, looking much more reserved than usual.
"Tomorrow." Came Kai's response without a thought.
"Geez. that's real soon Kai." Tyson mumbled scratching the back of his head.
"I have nothing else to do here, I might as well get started." Kai mumbled back.
"Oh, you will say good bye first, won't you?" Tyson almost begged, looking at him with watered eyes.
Kai smiled softly, "Yeah."
Tyson beamed, "Good, I'll ring Max and Kenny, we can all say good bye to you. Hey!! I know! You can go to China first, go see Rei and say good bye before you head off to. where ever you're gonna go!"
Kai nodded, "Sure."
"Well, with that taken care of, I say you both get to bed. You've got a big emotional day ahead of you." With that Grandpa stood walked out of the room. Kai and Tyson stood and without warning Tyson enveloped Kai in a hug, causing Kai to stiffen before relaxing and returning the hug.
"I'm gonna miss you Kai."
"You too." Kai smiled, patting Tyson on the back before walking to his room.

Planes rushed over their heads while people talked to themselves and rushed around the airport, hoping that they hadn't missed their flight. Flight attendants dashed from one flight to the other, while assistants rushed about trying to help customers with their problems while huge queues stretch to the main doors. All around there was a buzz of energy and frantic behaviour, except for four lads that stood around in a circle, not wanting this moment to end. A gentle voice came over the monitor announcing the next flight to China, all eyes turned to Kai who smiled lightly at his friends.
"Well, I've gotta go now." Kai whispered.
"When will you be back?" Max asked, playing with his gloves nervously.
"Yeah, plus we have the world champions coming up so you need to be there for them." Kenny added.
"Kai smiled, chuckling, "The world champions aren't for another year Kenny. but I'm sure I won't be gone that long." Kai added, looking at the sad look in Max's eyes.
"Well, you just make sure you write to us every week, no, every day so we know how you're doing." Tyson demanded.
"I'll try Tyson." Kai smiled.
"No no no. You promise you'll write to us!" Tyson ordered.
"Or at least call!" Max added.
Kai smiled, nodding, "Okay, I promise. I have to go now."
Tyson flung with arms around Kai before pulling make, allowing Kenny to give him a friendly hug, before Max jumped on him, clinging to him dangerously tight. Kai patted him on the back, making Max let go, revealing tears in the corner of his eyes.
Kai picked up his carrier bag and walked towards his plane and taking his seat, looking out the window to see Max, Tyson and Kenny waving dramatically at him. Kai smiled at waved back, his heart skipping a beat as the plane began to pull away. This was it, no turning back, but in a way Kai was happy, he could now search for that one place of happiness. right after seeing Rei. Sighing Kai closed his eyes, letting his thoughts settle for the first time, and dreaming of a new life.
