Chapter 2

Kai walked outside and took a deep breath. The evening air was refreshing after being inside, even if the air was humid. All of Kai's senses were alert as he looked around. The guards were nowhere to be seen.

Kai frowned "That's not good."

He cautiously took a few more steps out and looked for any signs of the guards. A small glint on the ground near some shrubs caught his eye.

"What the…?" Kai mumbled.

As he got closer he realized it was a pair of sunglasses that had been smashed.

"The same kind the guards were wearing." Kai quickly looked around for whoever had done this.

Too late. Something came crashing down on the back of his neck with tremendous force. Kai immediately crumpled to the ground without a sound. A person loomed over the body of the boy.

"I'm sorry kid, but I can't have you blabber-mouthing what you saw or getting in my way." The figure lifted a gun and pointed at Kai's head.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

Rei came charging over to whoever it was that was standing over the body of his friend. Hiro and the rest of the team were right behind him.

"Get away from our friend and put the gun down!" Tyson shouted

The figure threw something to the ground and a second later he disappeared in a huge puff of smoke.

Hiro grabbed onto Tyson's shirt as he tried to rush over to his team-mate. "Wait! It's not safe yet Tyson!"

"KAI!"

The Bladebreakers spun around to face the girl that had just come out of the bey-stadium.

"Is he O.K? Where is he? What's going on!" the girl cried.

Hiro let go of Tyson and caught the girl as she practically threw herself into the dissipating cloud of smoke.

"Don't go in there." He commanded. "Rei, go get Kai, but be carefull."

"No need for that, I'm fine." Kai said; slowly walking out of the smoke and rubbing the back of his neck.

Nika tore herself away from Hiro and threw herself into Kai's arms.

Burying her face in his chest she said; "I'm so glad that you're o.k. I would never have been able to forgive myself if something happened to you."

The Bladebreakers looked at their team captain with shock written all over their faces. Kai was actually letting a girl hug him! But all too soon, the moment was lost.

"I said I'm fine so don't go all sappy on me!" Kai said, detangling himself from Nika.

Nika looked up at Kai, feeling slightly hurt by the boys reaction. "Thanks for risking yourself like that. I…uh...appreciate it." The girl fumbled over the words and turned away. "I have to go inside now. I'll see you all for the orientation." And so saying, she ran towards the hotel at breakneck speed.

As soon as she got inside, Kai moaned and sank to the ground on his knees. His concerned team surrounded him immediately, asking what they could do.

Speaking through clenched teeth, Kai growled, "I need ice."

Later that night, after the orientation, there was a knock on Kai's room door.

"Kai, its Rei. Can I come in?"

"Mmm…yeah. The door's open."

Rei walked into Kai's room and looked at the boy. He was stretched out on the bed. There was a fresh ice-pack on the back of his neck and the lights were off. Rei frowned.

"We didn't see you downstairs for the orientation. I got kinda worried. How are you feeling?"

"My head hurts" Kai mumbled.

"Are you sure you don't want to get it looked at by a doctor?" Rei knew he made a mistake as soon as he asked that. Kai opened one eye and glared at him.

"Yes I'm sure. Anything else you want to ask me while I have a splitting headache?"

"No. I'm sorry, it's that I'm a little concerned, that's all."

"Well I said…"

"…that you're fine. Yeah I know. But the fact that you couldn't see straight when Hiro checked thing out suggests otherwise. Look, sleep on it O.K? If you don't feel any better by the morning, promises me that you'll get it looked at."

Kai grunted in response. "We'll see."

Rei was about to leave when there was another knock on the door. Kai motioned to Rei to let whoever it was in. When Rei opened the door, he was met with Nika's worried face.

"Rei! I'm sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to check up on him. How is he?" she asked.

"You can ask him yourself actually. I was just on my way out." The boy smiled at her. "Whatever you do Nika, don't suggest that he get it looked at." he whispered in her ear as he walked out.

"Right…whatever that means" she muttered as she closed the door behind her.

It took a few seconds for her eyes to adjust to the light. But as soon as they did, she went over to Kai's bed and sat down.

"Hey, how are you?" she asked.

"Fine" came the short response thru clenched teeth.

"Ya know, if I wasn't so worried about you I would laugh! You clearly are not "fine." You're hurt. Let me take a look. Please? It's the least I can do."

Not waiting for the inevitable "no" she was sure to receive, she gently reached behind Kai's head. The boy gave a sharp hiss of pain, but allowed her to help him sit up.

Starting at his lower back and working up to his neck, Nika slowly and gently massaged his spine.

"You're really tight, relax." she told Kai.

"I would, but this hurts like hell." he responded. But secretly, the pain wasn't the reason he was tense. She was touching him, and he liked it. "Big problem. I promised myself I would never do this to someone again, but she's just so…special. Alright, enough of this! Just tell her that you're fine and kick her out. Easy as pie." he told himself.

Kai swallowed hard preparing to tell the girl off when she saved him the trouble of doing so.

"Alright mister, that's all I'm gonna do tonight. I'll be back in the morning to see you again." she gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead and whispered, "Goodnight."

"Yeah, goodnight."

As soon as the door had closed Kai flopped back down.

"Damn…What am I getting myself into?"

The next morning Kai was awakened by a soft knocking on his door. His eyes flew open and he sat up…or rather tried to sit up. As soon as his shoulders left the bed, he moaned and lay back down, shutting his eyes. Slowly opening one eye, he looked at the clock next to the bed. As best he could tell, it was 8:45 in the morning. He opened his other eye and blinked once, but that really didn't help…everything was still fuzzy. There was another knock at the door.

"It's open." he said.

The door opened and Nika poked her head in.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" she asked as she stepped in the room, closing the door behind her.

"It's O.K. I needed to get going anyway."

Nika raised an eyebrow and looked down at him. "Can you even sit up?"

Wincing, Kai shook his head. "No."

"Didn't think so. Now, roll over." she said as she climbed on the bed.

"What! Whoa! Hold on a sec! I don't think you should…"

"Listen up!" she said as she leaned in close. "You're hurt and since you won't get looked over by a professional, I'm going to help you. Now quit your whining and roll over!"

Before either one of them could move however, the door opened and in burst Tyson followed close by Dachi and Max. All three stopped short at the sight before them. There was Kai flat on his back with Nika (still in her nightgown no less) over top of him. "Oh shit." Tyson murmured.

Nika sprang of the bed and literally kicked the three boys out of the room before locking the door. Sighing, she turned to face Kai and gasped when he was much closer then she had thought…he was standing right in front of her.

"You should still be in bed." she said, swallowing hard.

"Next time you come to my room alone, make sure you wear your day clothes." he joked, looking down at her gently.

Blushing, she looked at the floor. "Yeah, I know. It was kinda stupid of me to come in here like this, but I just…uh…wanted to check in on you. I'm sorry if I upset you all. I…" Her nervous speed-talking was cut short when Kai placed a finger on her lips.

"Shhh…It's alright."

Nika felt her face getting even redder as she looked up at Kai. Giving a slight nod, she started to back up…but then changed her mind. She reached up and quickly kissed him. At least that's what she intended to do. In all actuality, it lasted longer then she thought it would.

This, of course, was the last thing Kai had expected. Nobody would have known that however because he kissed her back. Gently at first, but at this point he couldn't hold back his feelings for her any longer. And apparently, she felt the same because she wrapped her arms around Kai's neck as she back up to the door. Before he realized it, Kai was slowly letting his hand creep down her back when he abruptly pulled away.

"No! I'm sorry I can't do this to you!" Nika looked at him, perplexed by this new bit of information.

"What are you talking about? It's O.K. to love someone."

"Look, if you know what's good for you, you'll forget that this ever happened! I'm sorry O.K? I just…I can't." Kai turned away. "You should go."

Nika reached out her hand towards the boy. "Kai…"

"Please…just go."

Nika turned and opened the door. "See you later?" Kai just nodded.

After she shut the door, Kai sighed. "What have I done…"
