Now on with the story….
Kai quickly bathed and changed to a red T-shirt and blue jeans. And before leaving the room he went to the verandah to take in the breathtaking view of the place. The place was not a city. It was more like a village with many trees, small houses, and in some places it even had sand roads instead of proper roads.
To the dranzer-wielder, it was his heaven ten years ago. And most of the place was still mostly unchanged. But he tore himself from the view and went out of his room, locking it. He was now walking in the streets to find a café. For Kai, coffee can help his system better than anything else.
Though he was here before, he had a hard time finding a café. Because his memory was a bit blur, because everything happened ten years ago. Finally he reached a place, which looked like a park. And there in the park, the dual-haired man noticed two familiar faces.
The black-haired boy and the blonde were there, distributing placards to everyone in the park. Still they are wearing shabby clothes. Kai felt a pang in his heart.
But what can he do? He can't just go and say, "I'll help you." Because he knew and has a self-respect which he was sure he would keep even the worst of the times. And, sure, everyone would try to keep it just like him. So it was against his principles.
So, the Hiwatari just walked away, with a feeling. A feeling which was so familiar and, yet, so distant. But he can't quite put a finger on it. But, when he was thinking and walking, he noticed that he had reached a café. So, he went in ordered a coffee and sat there, thinking now about his friends.
Flashback
"Hey! Don't act so mean." Came a voice to his ears. "Talk, Kai. Please…" Came another voice from a blonde. But Kai didn't even mind it. "Leave him alone, if he didn't wanna talk to you." Came a voice from a black haired nekojin. "But he…" But he was never allowed to finish his sentence. A brunette broke out. "Don't you know when to quit, Tyson."
Kai wanted to be alone. Especially from that blabbermouth. So, he thought that being quiet for some time would make the navy-blue haired boy to shut up and get lost. But the opposite was happening. He had become more talkative than before. And now, all the blue dual-haired boy wanted was to shut the boy up and go away from that place.
So he shouted, "You are just irritating me. Don't you know that I want no friends? If you don't, know it now. I don't want anyone to be my friends. Can't you just leave me alone? Don't you all even have the power of grasping when once told? I have been saying this every time I come here, and you still keep following me like lost cats. From now on, don't.. Otherwise you'll be seeing a darker side of me." Kai finished.
Everyone was shocked and hurt by his words. But Tyson didn't bother about the words because he doesn't understand most of his words. But he was still shocked, "You never spoke so many words before. And it is nice to hear so many words from, you." Hilary hit him on his head, "Can't you understand the meaning of his words?" she yelled. But, Tyson just realized the words he had spoken were meant to hurt him at Hilary's reaction. He became very sad.
Kai smirked to himself as it gave the expected outcome. He started to move away. Suddenly, "Can't you give us a chance to be your friends?" asked the navy-haired boy, his face expecting a ray of hope from the boy he wanted as a best friend.
But Kai didn't even turn back. He just ran to the side of the mountain, where there is an edge and it offered a beautiful view of the plains beyond. He has got there to get some fresh air. But it was true what Tyson has been saying. He had never spoken this many words to anyone. Maybe he had gone soft on them. Maybe he had started to consider them as his friends.
Flashback end
He was interrupted from his thoughts by the waitress who brought the coffee. Kai just took the cup and placed it between his lips, sipping the hot liquid slowly, but still thinking about the thought which he had been thinking. 'How I wish I didn't speak like that to them then. But it earned me true friends.' He thought to himself.
He quickly finished his coffee and went out to continue his search. He walked through everyone one of the roads, narrow lanes, shortcuts which they used to travel when they were young. He had his hope high, because he almost hoped to bump into any one of them while using these tracks. But the dranzer-wielder was disappointed this time.
He had almost covered the entire place with every nook and corner, popping in his mind as a place where they used to hide, run, play games and so on, as he travelled through it. But often he had seen the two boys doing something, though it was from a distance.
One time, they were cleaning the park. The other time, they were selling some vegetables. And Kai didn't count how many times he saw the, for it was quite a number of times. So, Kai came to a conclusion, that these boys were hard-workers and were working very hard for their living.
But with that, another question came to his mind, with this conclusion. 'If they work so hard, they should earn quite a living out of it. But still they are wearing those shabby clothes.' He questioned his mind. But again, his mind gave no answers to his questions.
Finally when it was dark again, he gave up his search. He need to rest now, because he has to return to his home the day after. So, he needed rest, and food to keep him going. So he decided to call it a day, and returned to his hotel. He had just one day left, before he has to return to the city, because he can't leave his business in the hands of Boris for long.
He woke up very early in the morning, even before sunrise. He quickly bathed and changed to a casual dress with a jacket, 'cause it was cold in the early hours like this. He stepped out of his hotel and started wandering.
But he suddenly stopped in front of a bus stop. Though there were no buses, something else caught his eyes. The black haired boy with the blonde sleeping on his shoulders. There laid a bundle of newspapers at their feet.
This time the dranzer-wielder couldn't control his curiosity and approached them for some answers. "Hey! You work here too? I thought you were just fruit sellers." The dual haired man started his questions directly, instead of going around.
The black haired looked a bit wary. But answered, "We are poor, sir. So we have to work in many places for our living." He silently said while patting the blonde's head. "But you work so much, you'll be having enough money for a good living." Kai asked pointing towards the clothes they were wearing. But the golden eyed boy just sat there, as if he didn't hear that question.
This conversation woke up the blonde, who just rubbed his sleepy eyelids. But the eyelids flew open as soon as he saw the guy who bought a large basket of strawberries from them. "Oh, hello. Thought I would never see you again." He started with his blue eyes gleaming. The dual-haired man, just couldn't stop a question rolling from his tongue.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" He instantly regretted for asking the question. He feared that it might bring a bad outcome. But the exact opposite happened.
"Would you truly do something for us! Hey!" The blonde started jumping around in joy. The black-haired boy started shooting glares at him. But his excitement was contagious. So the boy couldn't help but smile at him.
Then the blue eyes started to think. Then a brightness came to it, revealing that he has an idea. "We will go to a place every week. But then we have to lend bicycles. But this time, can you give us a ride on your Ferrari?" The blonde questioned. The dranzer wielder just nodded. The blonde then did a victory dance.
"Then can you pick us up, here, after one hour?" The black haired boy asked. Kai just nodded and turned his back as a bus approached and the two boys took the bundle of newspaper for selling.
Kai just walked away thinking, "Then I have one hour to search the village before going. Then I better be quick. Because I don't know how long I will have when I return here." Thinking that he walked away, in a direction he thought the best way to start his search.
After one hour, the sun just rose. The dual-haired man had no luck finding his friends. Though he wanted to continue his search, he had given his word to the boys. And Kai Hiwatari will give his life to save his word, a trait he learned from his friends.
He arrived near the bus stop with his Ferrari shining in the light. The blonde was awestruck by that car. He just goes around and around the car, to get a good view of it. The black haired boy had to grab him by the collar of his shirt and mount him in the car. He then gets in after making sure the blonde is safely packaged in the seatbelts.
Kai couldn't help but giving a small laugh unheard by the two boys. After they were ready, Kai just revved up the engine. And the blonde just squealed as the car came to life, roaring like a beast. The amenthyst-eyed blader had pride in his eyes looking at the blonde's reaction.
With Kai's speed and control of the car and the black haired boy's direction, they reached the place soon. Suddenly the two boys, got off the car. The dranzer wielder just raised an eye brow. "Hmm, sir, we'll return here after some time. But if you wish you can go too." The black-haired boy said before turning and going away.
But Kai had got a sudden urge to follow them. 'Something is fishy here.' He thought. He just got off his car and followed them, but still looking casual. He saw them enter a building. He didn't notice the look of the building as he was more concerned with not losing them, than its look.
When he entered the building, there was no one in that room, but a sound was carried through the empty halls, through one of the three paths. He followed the sound. The sound became more and more clear, which indicated that he was nearer to its source.
But once he picked up the sound clearly, he felt himself weaken. "No, it can't be true." He murmured. That was a sound was becoming louder and louder. "Here? But how?" He continued. His mind was dizzy with many questions. Because he knew this sound like the back of his hand.
He heard his way to a room from which, he thought, the sound is coming from. The dranzer-wielder slowly opened the door just enough to let him peek inside. What he shocked him to his very core.
"No way!" He said in a silent voice.
So what did Kai saw in the room?
Answer will be in the next chapter.
Anyway, how was this chapter? Good? Bad?
Anything, I am open to reviews.
Till then bye_Devi
