Chapter 3: There and Gone
The last time I remembered being here with my teammates, all I worried about is having fun. They too felt the same need...maybe including you too, even if you don't act too excited...without realizing the truth...I never thought it maybe your last...vacation with us...
-- By Kinomiya Takao
"The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round…all through the town!" the blondy sang as the bus drove uphill towards their destination to the mountains.
"Max, you should cut the amount of sugar you ate with your breakfast," the Hiwatari retorted.
"No sweat, Kai!" the Granger replied, "It's been a while since he has become hyper-active!"
"…"
"He is right you know," Ray agreed with the Granger. "Ever since we've defeated Boris and the Justice Five, we haven't got the time to relax..."
The Hiwatari gave the chinese teen a glare before he sighed in defeat.
"Fine then...but only for today..."
"I'M DEFINATELY HAVING FUN HERE! HOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU!?!" the blondy snapped at them. "HUH? HUH? HUH!?!"
They sweat dropped.
"Okay...maybe a little too much sugar..." Tyson said.
"How much longer until we get there?!" Daichi complained. "I HATE BEING COOPED UP IN THIS SMELLY BUS!!!"
"I can't even tell if it's his stomach calling out for us to do some labour or is it just his excitement at its peak..."
"Yeah..." Hilary agreed as the other G-Revolution members sighed.
"We're almost there, Daichi," Kenny replied. "Just after the bus finishes driving uphill…which should be about now..."
From the corner of his eye, Kai noticed someone quickly dashing into the bushes through the window beside him. "Hm?" He turned and took a closer look. Seeing nothing happening, he turned his attention away from the window. "Hmm...I wonder..."
"What's up, Kai?" Tyson asked, interrupting his thoughts.
The dual haired teen turned to see the navy haired teen, curiously watching him.
"Hm...nothing..."
"Oh...okay...it did look like you were thinking about something..."
He closed his eyes as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"It's something minor and none of importance to you...anyway..."
"Sure...whatever...lighten up for once...at least..."
"I'll do that when I want to..."
"Which might be never..."
"Exactly..."
"Here we are!" Tyson exclaimed as he leaped out of the bus as the rest of his teammates followed. "I can't wait until we settle down and grab something to eat!!"
He noticed the Hiwatari getting out of the bus and already started moving in the opposite direction from the destination the group was supposed to go to.
"Yo Kai! Where are you going!?" Tyson called out to him.
The Hiwatari ignored the navy haired teen's voice and continued his way into the woods.
"Gosh…he could have at least tell us," Tyson said.
"He's probably looking for the washroom?!" Daichi wondered.
The rest of the gang stared at him.
"What!?!"
"…Umm…yeah…sure…let's just leave him be…he'll probably find his way back soon enough…after his walk…" the Granger said.
I get this strange feeling, that it might be the last time that I will see him...again...just like what happened after the first world championships...but...he will never return...
"I knew he is around here..." the dual haired teen said as he revealed himself from the bushes.
The Hiwatari narrowed his eyes suspecting something trying to make its attempt to jump at him.
"Where is he?"
His eyes scanned the area, back and forth as he cautiously took his step forward.
"Show yourself!" he exclaimed.
"As you wish, Hiwatari Kai..." said a low voice from behind. (O.o o.O Oh no! Kai! Mwahaha...I'll cut you from here...)
After waiting for three hours, the team started to get worried about the dual haired teen's absence.
"He's taking too long," Tyson said. "It is unlike Kai to disappear just like that…"
"Yeah...he's taking too long to use the washroom!" Daichi complained.
Everyone stared at him.
"What!?"
"I don't think that's the case..." Ray said. "Something else is going on..."
"Obviously..." Max replied.
"Max is right," Kenny agreed. "Let's go and search for him…"
Walking through the woods, the team called out his name several times to see if he responds back.
"KAI! KAI! KAI! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Tyson exclaimed.
"KAI!? COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE!" Hilary called out.
"YO KAI! YOU'RE JUST TOO CHICKEN TO COME OUT AREN'T YOU!?" Daichi exclaimed.
It was when the Granger latched his arm around his neck.
"LISTEN HERE, DAICHI! HE'S DEFINITELY NOT CHICKEN!" the navy haired teen snapped.
"OW-OW—OW!! Okay! I GOT IT! NOW, LET ME GO! CAN'T BREATHE!" Daichi exclaimed. "SO THEN…HOW COME HE'S SHOWING UP!?"
"I have no idea…but I believe he's alright…"
"Let's continue to search for him," Max suggested.
"KAI!!" everyone called out.
It was when Tyson tripped over something that caused him to fall down face first.
"OUF!"
THUD!
"Are you alright Tyson?" Kenny asked.
"Yeah...I think so..." Tyson replied as he rubbed his head with his hand, easing the pain. "What did I trip over?"
Taking a closer look at it, he realized what it was.
"What?! This is Kai's bag that he was carrying!" he exclaimed as he grabbed it and checked the contents in it.
From there, he pulled out a familiar blue blade in the grip of his hand.
"Yeah...it's Kai's alright..."
He revealed to the rest of the teens the Hiwatari's prized possession, Dranzer.
"You're right..." Kenny replied. "It is Dranzer..."
"But Kai never leaves his blade behind!" Hilary added.
"Yeah!" Daichi agreed.
"If Kai's stuff is here, then he must be somewhere nearby..." Ray suggested.
"Yeah...we'll search around here..." Max said. "I'll look over at the east side..."
"West side to me!" Daichi exclaimed.
"We'll go north," Kenny and Hilary said.
"And I'll go south!" Ray replied.
"And I will...uhh...well...look around here!" Tyson exclaimed.
"We'll meet each other again after a few minutes...see you later!"
All the bladers split up for a moment, leaving the navy haired teen in charge of the Hiwatari's bag. Staring at the blade, he wondered to himself, "Kai...why did you leave Dranzer behind?"
After a few minutes of calling out to him, the group decided to chat with each other again.
"Any luck?" Hilary asked.
The blondy shook his head. "Nope..."
"Me neither..." Ray added.
"Same..." Kenny replied.
"Nada-zilch!" Daichi said as the Granger watched his friends from behind.
Kai...we're all worried about you...Max, Ray, Daichi, Kenny, Hilary and I...this better not be one of your practical schemes to disappear or betray us at this time...please don't do that...
Suddenly, there was a scream.
"What was that?!" Max snapped.
"It's coming from over there!" Tyson said as he pointed his finger in the right direction. "Or is it from the other way?"
Another scream filled the background, causing a flock of birds to fly away.
"There it is again!" Ray added.
"It's coming from this way! Follow me!" Tyson exclaimed as he lead the group towards the direction of the sun.
