Chapter 3

Little Phoenix

Kai was walking after school to his house taking his time. He didn't want to get home, he knew his mother would be there probably high and drunk as always. He sighed and wished that he was old enough to move out, but no, he had to be eighteen in order to live by himself. Well he only had two more years until he was eighteen.

He walked up to a familiar building where he lives; a one story house. The front lawn looked mal nourished, weeds everywhere, the grass outgrown, dead flowers. He was now standing in front of his home taking the keys out, he unlocked the door and stepped in cautiously. Not seeing his mother anywhere near in sight he quickly made his way inside.

Kai walked, more like dodge the glass bottles, beer cans, injection needles, and what looked like bags of white powder. He quickly made his way to his room, the once soft cream carpet is now all stained, and rough under his black shoes.

"Damn, it looks like she had a party," Kai talked to himself.

He went inside his room, which was the cleanest part of the whole house. His cream carpet was soft, he tried to keep it that way. Knowing his mother it was a matter of time until his carpet was like the one in the hallway. he sighed and changed out of his uniform neatly folding it and store it in the drawer.

He searched in his closet for fresh clean clothes and put them on. He wore a black slim fitted red shirt with black sleeves, a navy blue slim straight fit jeans, and some red shoes. He worked on his homework for two whole hours before it was time to go home.

He grabbed his wallet and keys, as he made his way to the door. He was about to grab the door handle when it swung open making Kai fall on his behind. His crimson eyes landed on his mothers grey eyes, she was high again.

"Kai, my Kai, my son. How are you?" His mother asked. She had long brown hair, her eyes were red from all the drugs she had.

Kai knew how to play it, "I've been good." Kai knew what to say.

"Were the hell were you going?" His mother asked frowning.

"To a friends house. We have a test next week, and we want to learn as much as possible." Kai answered. He was beginning to regret what he said when he saw his mother's face turned into a frown.

"Study… What have I told you about going to school?" She seethed.

"School is bad," Kai answered.

"Yes its bad, I want you to work and make me money. Where the hell am I suppose to get money?" His mother screamed the question. She slapped Kai on the face.

Kai had his eyes hidden under his grey bangs. He didn't move for a while. He looked up to glare at his mother, she glared back. Kai's cheek had a purple bruise, he bruised easily. Just by a single pinch and his skin would mark.

"MONEY! I need it!" She kept hitting him with her hands.

Kai just stood there, motionless. Until he felt a sting on his other cheek, he looked up to see his mother glaring. He touched his cheek, it stung. He removed his pale fingers to see they had blood. His mother probably put one of her many ring fingers facing him. She slapped him on his bruised cheek making another cut. Blood oozed out from the deep cut his mother gave him.

"Kai, I love you, and I want you to work. School is bad, your teachers don't even teach you right. They are worthless…" She fell asleep before she could finish another word.

Kai made to grab his mother. He put one arm around her back and the other was behind her knees. 'Heavy,' he thought. He walked up to the worn out leather couch and set his mother there.

No matter how much she hates him, Kai will always love his mother. She is all he has. He walked up to the bathroom and closed it behind him. He got out the first-aid box and cleaned up his wounds.

He came out with a band-aid on both his cheeks and went outside his house. He made his way to meet up with Matilda; since she told him to meet her in the park not too far from his house. She lived right behind his home, and the park was a blocks away.

Kai walked down the quiet neighborhood, that was the good thing. He lived in a nice street. He kept walking trough the side walk until someone bumped into his shoulder. The other person was texting on his phone.

Kai looked up to meet a pair of flirtatious cat-like eyes. Kai held his breath and didn't say anything. He glared up at up at him.

"Hey, you're Kai. Fancy meeting you here, you live around here?" Rei said with one of his charming smiles. It was his lucky day, Lady Luck was on his side today.

"I'm on my way to meet someone. If you excuse me," Kai shoved Rei with his shoulder on purpose.

"What's the rush? This person could wait. This is my house, come inside and have a drink. No ones home." Rei said pointing with his head to a nice white house. It was beautiful. It was two stories high, with a balcony on one of the top windows, the garden looked very well taken care of, flowers looked healthy and beautiful.

"No thank you, I rather eat my right arm off than going inside your house." Kai glared up at the tall guy. He had a bad feeling about this.

"What the hell happened to that pretty face?" Rei said cupping Kai's cheeks. He frowned not liking that Kai was hurt. Why did he care?

"Nothing, it's none of your business." Kai glared. At first he thought that he saw an emotion pass Rei, then it was gone? What the hell? His thoughts were cut off as a new voice cut in.

"Kai! I'm over here." Both males turned around to see Matilda looking a cheerful as ever. She wore a button up black shirt, with super skinny jeans, and grey skate shoes. Her hair had a black clips shaped an 'x', a chain on her right hip, and a leather wrist band.

"Hey. I told you that I was meeting someone. Now if you'll excuse me," Kai said sidestepping Rei and walked next to Matilda.

"Alright. Hey Matilda can't wait for a fun night. I think your still the only girl I need to bed. Kai I'll get you pretty soon." Rei smirked and blew a kiss to Matilda, then Kai.

"Fuck you Rei" Matilda flipped him off. Kai just stared at him with a glare.

"Love you too Matilda,". He gave them a seductive smirk, then made his way to his house.

"Bastard," Matilda hissed.

"Shall we go?" Kai asked.

"Yes, Tyson is waiting. And what happened to your face?" Matilda asked. Oh she noticed when she first laid eyes on him.

"Nothing. Just fell." Kai lied. He hated lying, but he didn't want to tell her not until he gets to know her more. Maybe he might tell her if he feels like it someday.

"Let me guess your in an abusive family?" Matilda asked looking at Kai dead in the eye.

Kai froze completely that he even stopped walking altogether.. How did Matilda guessed right? How could she know unless…

"Your thoughts are as good as mine. I was also an abused child when I was small. My real father, he used to beat my mother all the time. After he was done beating my mother he then 'sometimes' also beat me up. That's why I was so shy an scared back in grade school." Matilda smiled sadly. She looked up to see Kai looking shocked.

"I-But you look the happy kind of girl. You know, the type that looks so carefree." Kai tried to explained.

"My father changed our lives for ever. He scarred us. I was so Emo back then, used to cut myself back in fifth grade, yeah I know I was little, but, anything to get rid of my horrible past, my pain, my darkness. My mother tried to seek help for me, she took me to a therapist, but it never disappeared, the darkness, it kept haunting me. Until one day in sixth grade someone very special helped me. He made me see a light. I was trapped in the darkness for a while, but he helped me through it. He is-or was my best friend. He moved to another country though. Now thanks to him, I'm a whole new person. That's where I left to Military school, and now here." Matilda said tears were on her cheeks.

"I didn't know that," Kai almost chocked it out.

"I haven't told anyone, yet. No one knows my past, I try and be as carefree as possible. Until I met you," Matilda said. Looking up at Kai.

"I'm sorry," Kai didn't know what else to say.

"Don't worry about it. It was along time ago. Now I've moved on. If you want you can tell me what happened, if you want." Matilda said walking towards a dojo.

Kai nodded, then he noticed that they had arrived at Tyson's house. He saw Matilda open the door and walked in, taking his shoes off he followed her. She walked on the polished wooden floor to another room. Kai followed her looking at the clean and homey dojo.

"Hey guys we're here!" Matilda said switching back to her happy mode.

"Well hello there, Matilda, Kai." Max said in his usual cheerfully face.

"Matilda! Kai!" Tala tackled them to the ground landing on them.

"We missed you too Tala." Matilda said rolling her eyes playfully.

"Get off of them, you're squishing them with all your weight." Bryan said trying to lift his boyfriend off of them.

"Are you calling me fat?" Tala asked offended.

"No," Bryan said with a sweat drop.

"He's implying that you're fat," Tyson said walking with a tray of food and drinks.

"Look who's talking." Tala snapped. "Anyway, Kai, what in the name of fuck happened to your face?"

"Nothing, just my baby niece loves to pinch my cheeks. I bruise easily." Kai said ending the conversation.

"I will find out what happened." Tala said looking mad.

"Right, let's Beyblade!" Max exclaimed before things got ugly. They don't need a red head psychotic teen out for blood.

"I got my Beyblade. Kai, Max made you one." Tyson pointed to the blond boy.

"Here, I hope you like it." Max said with a light blush.

"Thanks," Kai received it. It was a blue Beyblade that it fit his hand. Somehow he felt a bit hot.

Kai felt drowsy, tired. He fell forward landing on someone. The last thing he knew was everyone's shouts.

.:Kai's Dream:.

Kai woke up, he lifted his head looking around. 'Where am I?' he thought with confusion.

"Little Phoenix…" A voice was heard.

Kai was up in an instant. He looked around for the female voice. It was as if signing to him, so he could come to her. He kept hearing the voice in his head.

Now that he was up, he decided to walk. It was dark, very dark. He lifted his hand to see it there, wasn't he suppose to not see it? He looked down his body to see that he could see as well. He was scared now.

"My little one, come to me. I will guide you to me." Kai heard her voice again.

He followed the voice as if his body was not in his control anymore. Kai saw a ribbon of light up ahead, a fire. As he walked closer, Kai began to see a figure of a bird.

"Ah, Little Phoenix, come sit here with me. Let me hold you. I will tell you everything you need to know." The bird said holding out her wings of fire.

"Who are you?" Kai asked still walking, not caring if he will burn in the fire.

"My name is…"

"Kai!"

Kai woke up with a jump. He was asleep? How did that happen?

"Kai, how do you feel?" Kai saw Matilda's worried face.

"Fine, " Kai answered automatically. He noticed that he was on a bed. The covers were soft, and very comfy.

"You gave us a scare." Max said with worry on his face.

"I'm fine now." Kai said getting up.

"I thought that you were dead!" Tala said in a dramatic voice, even going to far in putting the back of his hand on his forehead.

"Drama king," Tyson muttered.

"I'm not dead. Just because I fainted, doesn't mean I died." Kai said rubbing his eyes with his fisted hands.

"Alright, stop it. Can't you see that Kai is alright." Matilda said with a glare. Everyone backed away, they did not want a mad Matilda on the loose.

"How long was I out?" Kai asked.

"About three hours," Bryan answered. He leaned on the closed door.

Kai was up in an instant that he almost fell.

"Whoa there buddy," Tyson said catching him. Bryan quickly walked up to them and helped Kai.

"Damn, how come you weight so little?" Bryan asked with a widened eyes. He was a bit shorter than Tala, the same height as Max.

"No kidding." Tyson said.

Kai was seated back in bed. He put both hands up to hold his head, as pain shot trough him. Matilda went to go retrieve something from the other side of the room. She came back with a glass of water, and a cap.

"Here drink this," Matilda said giving him the water and pills.

"Thanks," Kai said taking both pills in his mouth and drinking the water.

"Are you all better?" Tala asked he had worry on those crystal blue eyes.

"Yeah," Kai said looking at him.

Kai stood still for a while longer until his pain subsided a bit. He then looked around the room after the pain passed. Looking at rock bands posters, to a bookshelf, a desk with computer, a closet, another door, to the others. 'Where am I?'

"You're in my room," Tyson said as if reading his mind.

"Since its late, we should all go home." Bryan said hugging Tala from his slender waist.

"Yeah," Max agreed, so did the others.

"Alright see you all tomorrow at school." Tyson said.

Kai followed the others to the familiar door. He put his shoes on and stood there not knowing what else what to do.

"We'll walk you home Matilda," Tala said hooking arms with the bubble gum haired girl.

"I'll walk her home. You guys can play with each other or whatever." Kai smirked at them.

"You know it. Alright later." Tala said kissing Bryan. Bryan kissed back giving Tala a little groping.

"Let's go, though I love to watch what else they're gonna do next." Matilda laughed.

"Yaoi fan girl," Kai rolled his eyes.

"Yup," Matilda smirked, "We're leaving now. Bye!"

Kai and Matilda made their way down the street. Kai noticed that Tyson lived far. He saw a car pass by lighting their way back home, then it was gone in an instant. He broke the quiet atmosphere.

"Where do you buy your clothes?" Kai asked. He liked Matilda's outfit. Maybe he could dress something like that.

"Hot Topic, in the mall. If you want to go, make sure what you want to buy, or Tala will buy them for you." Matilda laughed.

"I'll think about it." Kai smiled.

They passed Rei's house, Kai noticed that all the lights were off. It must have been that late. They quickly made their way to Kai 's house.

"Can I go trough your fence? That way I could make it home faster." Matilda asked and explained.

"Yeah, just hold up." Kai said walking to his house. He made sure that his mother wasn't there through the window. No one seems to be home.

He made his way to the backyard's door quickly opening it. He motioned with his hand to her. Matilda walked up to him. Kai opened the door and stepped inside, Matilda following him. Kai walked a bit more until he found his fence.

"That's your house?" Kai pointed to a one story house. It had a pool, a table with four seats an umbrella right in the middle of the table.

"Yup, when its summer the guys and I hang out at my house. But we swim before Bryan and Tala decide to have sex." Matilda laughed.

"But you do clean the pool right?" Kai asked.

"Duh, or none of us would want to swim on their liquids. I make them clean." Matilda flushed, "I should get going. Night Kai,"

"Night,"

Kai watched Matilda's petit body climb the fence. She climbed with success and hopped down to the other side. She smiled and waved walking to her door. Kai made his way inside his own home when he saw that she did went inside.

Kai was inside his house when he heard his mothers moans from her room. Kai felt disgusted. He quickly made his way to his room hearing the noises louder. He grabbed his ipod from his desk and turned it on. He had the music blaring from his headphones. Kai looked out his opened window seeing the stars shine. He saw a light turned on, then off after a while. He looked at Matilda's house just right across his home. He closed his eyes after a while as sleep took him to his not so normal dreams.
