"Yes, could I have a package of those.." I point and the cashier gives me a pack of cigarettes. I give him the money and don't wait for the change before walking out of the store fast. I search my pockets but find myself in a pickle, I have no lighter.
"Have to ask Max.." Damn with the habit of talking with myself. I spend way too much time with that tiger boy at the hospital.
I glare at an old man who stares at me as if I was insane. I can't help that white is my favorite color. They can't sue me for walking around in white pants, a white jacket and white boots whilst talking with myself. Only in America, which I am not in at the moment! I wonder how drunk I am?
"What ya looking at? Don't got a TV home?" I growl at an old couple. They talk back to me in Russia so I gladly return the favor with a few nice and polite words in my native language. Russia, if anyone was wondering. It's very sunny outside to be mars. I don't like it.
"Fucking global warming.." I turn left. The white building plops up like the fucking pope and mock me. I take long and fast steps to get there, the sun is giving me a fucking headache.
Am I spending too much time in the hospital? It's not like I got anything better to do or anywhere else to go. The only person who doesn't blame me for all this shit is Max. We both live at that fucking hospital.
One would think Kai spent time at the hospital and came to visit, but no. He spends every fucking second in his office. Of course that's just my guess, I have no contact with my old team. Fucking backstabbers. Not that I do my best to contact them, when Bryan comes to the hospital I hide. I really hope Rei hates Kai when he wakes up, but it's not like I want Kai to feel miserable just because I do.
"Hah!" I smirk. Oh, how good it would feel to see the almighty Kai Hiwatari on his knees, begging for Rei's forgiveness.
Oh great here we are, standing before the white building. Have I mentioned my hate for this tall building? If not, let me do so. I fucking hate this white, tall building. Yet I have no choice but to step in. Automatic doors, who could have guessed? Ah that's right, me. Because I spend every fucking second of my life here.
Well hello there white depressing walls with your oh so more depressing cheap green jelly. Let's take this magic box called elevator up to Rei's room and never leave. Sounds good.
The elevator dings when it's down and I step inside when the doors open. I changed my mind, I wanna take the stairs. There's people in here.
I hurry out on the right floor. I hate that music but I hate the people here more. The corridor is endless and everywhere there are people. People around the corner. People under the stairs. People in that little room you didn't know existed.
I make my way to Rei's room with hurried steps. Opening the door I step inside. This must be the most expensive room in the whole hospital. It has the brightest white walls and the most beautiful blue curtains. Kai should really come and visit to see how nice his money made it for Rei. Stupid, selfish, arrogant, rich, stuck up Kai.
"Oh great you're here! I need to buy food," Max disappears like a blur out the door. I close it and walk over to Rei.
"Did I ever mention how much I hate people? With their judging eyes and selfish actions, like they know everything!" I really want to hit someone right now but the only person to hit in here and Rei and maybe that's not such a good idea. Instead I pick up Max's water bottle and drink it up.
"The only person I ever met that doesn't judge people are you, but we're not going down that road today. Maybe tomorrow, if I feel like it. Today we're talking about my hate for people. Stop looking at me with those strange eyes, I sa-" I drop the bottle.

"Let it rip!" Tyson yell and the kids scream when their blades collide. He's teaching beyblade and had done so for a while, he wanted Max to help him but he was in Russia. Kenny got in to a good school somewhere in America and Kai was somewhere doing business. He had no intention of driving the school with Hilary and Rei was gone. That's how he saw it, Rei was no more. Everyone said he would never wake up, except Max that was fooling himself. And he was there in Russia with Tala! How could he live with that man? He was the reason Rei was gone.
"Yo kido!" Grandpa yell from inside the Dojo. Tyson sigh. He had told Grandpa he didn't want to be disturbed when he was teaching.
"It's your old buddy Max on the phone!" He's excited, but Tyson doesn't care. What is it Max want?
"What does he want?" Tyson yell back as he walk to his grandpa.
"I dunno dude, why don't you ask him?" Grandpa hand over the phone and walk off with a happy face. Too happy.
"Hey buddy!"
"Hey, what's up?"
"Just checking in on you, was a while ago, you haven't returned my calls," Max say and sounds hurt. Tyson felt bad about himself already.
"I've been really busy with my project," true. And he was ignoring Max because he was in Russia. With Tala.
"Well I.. hold on.. Tala what are you doing here?" Max voice got more distant. Why was Tala with Max?
"Maybe another time Max, you seem busy.." Tyson hang up without waiting for response. What was the meaning of calling if Tala would talk anyway? The phone called again.
"Granger," Tyson answer.
"Hello, I'm Rei Kon's doctor." Tyson sigh. He heard it before. But there was no need being rude. "You can come by tomorrow and take care of the paper work." The woman say. Now he was confused.
"What paper?" He didn't do paper. Kai was the one that handled everything about the hospital.
"Well it won't be long until he can move fully and we want to move him," she say as if he was stupid. "Isn't this the number to Hiwatari?"
"No, I'm Tyson Granger. I said that!" He yell in frustration. What did people want with him?
"Oh I am so sorry about that! Then I should inform you that Rei Kon opened his eyes today," Tyson stare at the phone. "Hello?"
Tyson let the phone fall to the floor and run in to his room.
"Grandpa I need tickets to Russia!" He yell and starts to pack everything his eyes see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hospital~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He's not awake," Max says with a strange face. Tala tries not to scream in frustration.
"Mr. Valkov saw his eyes open and it's normal for a patient that has been in coma only to be awake a few minutes the first times," the doctor say. Max smile, happy he could understand. The doctor didn't use so many medical terms.
"Will he wake up again today?" Tala ask and stare at the younger teen. He couldn't believe just some minutes ago he had his eyes open. For the first time in one year, two months, three weeks and three days he saw those amber eyes for a brief moment.
"He is full of surprises, you never know," the doctor smile and walks out.
"Hey bud, we're right here," Max say and take Rei's hand in his own.
"You should go and call the others, tell them he's awake," Tala scowl as response.
"Yah right, they're gonna blow up their phones just hearing my voice, you call," Max sigh in defeat. Tala was overdoing it a little, but it was true he wasn't everyone's favorite person.
Max walk out to find a phone. Tyson hang up before when Tala interrupted, not surprising.
Tala sits down on the chair beside the bed. Rei would get a new room once Kai could find ins his interest to care for Rei. He takes the younger teen's hand and feel how cold it is. The door opens behind him.
"That was fast, did you just call the pig?" He ask, assuming it's Max standing by the door. When no answer comes he turns his head. The person by the door is wearing black pants, black shoes, a black shirt and his hair is a mess. At least people can see the difference from him and the hospital wall.
"Kai," Tala swallows and feel something move. Is Rei waking up again?
"Get out from the hospital Valkov," his tone is harsh, cold and dark.
"Why? Because you're so often here?" Tala spit out and get up from the chair. He was furious with Kai. How could he come in after more than one year and tell him to leave?
"I'm afraid you have to leave Mr. Valkov," a nurse say from behind Kai. Tala can't argue with her, they would call security.
"Fuck you Hiwatari," Tala say and rush by.
"In your dreams," Kai answer when he passed the man. Tala turn around and curse at him in Russian. Then he walk to the elevators and crash into Bryan. The person he wanted even less to do with.
"What are you doing here?" The man asks. His voice colder than ever.
"In case you haven't noticed, me and Max are the only ones that are at this fucking hospital every fucking day to look after Rei! And Kai just fucking threw me out! He hasn't been here one fucking single day and that fucker throws me out!" Tala tries his hardest to breathe normal.
"You've been here every day?" Bryan asks, surprised. His wall often fell around Tala.
"And night. I live here. Since my dear family threw me out! I hate all of you! You're fucking backstabbers the whole fucking bunch of ya!" Tala tries to walk away but Bryan takes a hold of his wrist.
"Where are you going?" He ask with a worried expression.
"Really? Really? Really? Now you care! You're a piece of shit!" Tala snatch his arm back. "If you really want to know I'll go trading fuck for vodka since that's the only thing I'm good at!" He hurry down the stairs. Bryan stare after him.
"What was that about?" Spencer asks, he heard it all. He would be surprised if anyone at the hospital didn't hear Tala exploding.
"PMS?" Bryan ask and shrugs, earning a chuckle from the older man. Truth was he cared about his former captain, but he would never admit it.

"What do you mean fifteen hours?" Tyson ask, or more yells, at the poor woman behind the disk.
"Well then ext plane leaves in fifteen hours," she repeat and tries to be polite. It's hard to be polite around Tyson. He screams out in rage when his phone rings. He didn't know the number and had no time for it!
"What?"
"There is a private jet waiting for you." He knows that voice from somewhere. It was one of the Russians.
"And it will take me to the place where all hope is abandon and you can hear the screams of the tortured souls?"
"To the Hiwatari mansion idiot."
"That's what I said!" Bryan hang up on him. He had no sense of humor. Tyson apologize to the poor woman and then started running around looking for the jet. Behind him an irritated, brown-haired woman spotted his hair.
"Tyson you idiot!" Hilary yells at him. He turns around.
"Great, why are you here?" He asks and glare.
"Getting you to the jet so we can leave and visit Rei before he dies from aging, now c'mon!" She grabs his collar and drag him the right way.

Post-traumatic amnesia is generally due to a head injury. Mild trauma, such as a car accident that results in no more than mild whiplash, might cause the occupant of a car to have no memory of the moments just before the accident due to a brief interruption in the short/long-term memory transfer mechanism. The sufferer may also lose knowledge of who people are.
