Chapter 4
Kai opened his eyes and looked around the small white room. In front of the large window covered by thick blinds was a medium sized wooden desk, files and papers stacked neatly into two piles on either side of the desk. There was a black swivel chair behind the desk, with two grey plastic chairs in front of it. About 5ft in front of the desk was a hospital bed that he was currently sitting on. His gaze was then turned to the white door about 2 ½ft to his left; with a small circular window near the top of it. Kai went back to staring at his hands wondering how much longer the doctor was going to take.
The sound of the door opening caused Kai to look towards it again. Dr. Sato came into the room carrying a clipboard and pen dressed in his normal doctors' attire, he had slightly greying hair, with a fringe ending just above the glasses he wore over kind dark brown eyes.
"Hello Hiwatari-san, sorry the appointment is late today; another one of my patients came in needing emergency treatment. That's why I'm a bit late now as well, I was just checking up on them," he explained as Kai just nodded in response. "Well I'm just going to ask you a couple of questions like I did last time, which will be followed by a blood test and then we will take you for an MRI okay?"
"An MRI why?" asked Kai hoping the worry couldn't be detected in his voice.
"Just a precaution." Kai nodded.
"Okay, how are you feeling today?"
"Tired."
"When was the last time you vomited?"
"Yesterday."
"When was the last time you ate?"
"Yesterday."
"You know you should eat, it's not going to help you if you don't eat." Kai just nodded, not going to follow the doctors' instructions, as eating usually ended in him feeling worse. It's not like he could lie, as he had done that once but a blood test had proven him wrong, and he didn't really want to get found out again.
"Have you been taking your medication?" Kai again nodded.
"I'm going to need some more soon," added Kai as Dr. Sato nodded and noted this down, before placing the clipboard on the desk nearby. He then went over to the small grey plastic chest of drawers next to the desk, getting a syringe and a small vial out of one of the drawers. Kai felt his pulse quicken as he advanced towards him with that thing, he wanted to run, jump do something to get away from it, but also knew that, that would make it worse for him. His gaze quickly turned to the window, biting his lip as he felt the needle pierce his skin.
"All done, now if you will follow me up to the scanning room," said the doctor as he walked out and Kai hopped off the bed and followed him.
As they exited the room, Kai saw another door to his right close rather quickly. His eyes were torn away from it when he heard his name.
While Kai had been in the room the Bladebreakers had stood outside it, trying to listen to the conversation going on inside. Ray had peeked once or twice through the window for a few seconds, not really wanting to risk it. He had only seen the doctor's back anyway. Ray's keen hearing had heard footsteps and he motioned for the other three teens to follow him. Luckily Tyson managed to spot an empty room and they rushed in, closing it just as Kai entered the corridor.
"You guys I'm so glad that we couldn't hear anything, as I feel so bad right now. We're betraying his trust by coming here. If you guys want to keep on coming here fine you do that, but I'm his…friend and I want it stay that way. I'm going home now, and if he asks me what I did today I'm telling him the truth, and I hope you lot do the same. I know we didn't hear anything but what happens if we did hear something personal that he didn't want us to know. He's not telling us for a reason and I'm going wait until he tells me that reason or actually tells me what's wrong. Bye you guys," Hilary lectured before leaving the room, worry filling her chest. The rest of the Bladebreakers looked at each other guilt written all over their faces at what they had done.
As Kai headed up towards the MRI room he felt his stomach tie up in knots. He remembered Dr. Sato saying it was a precaution, but a precaution for what? He hoped that he wasn't as bad as he first thought.
'At least I have my friends to turn to…if and if I do need help…I think,' he thought, not knowing how he would tell them if he had to.
Once in the room, Kai had to change into a hospital gown and was given three more injections; one on either side of his chest and in his stomach. He was also made to drink a small amount of greenish blue liquid, the doctor saying that it would make seeing his insides better. Kai nervously turned to look at the MRI machine; it was a big grey donut-shaped machine next to the back wall of the room. It wasn't the machine that made Kai nervous, it was the small hole he was being asked to lay in. He looked to his left seeing Dr. Sato sitting at a computer behind a glass screen, who nodded at him. Kai put in the ear plugs he had been given and lay on the bed like structure that was sticking out of the mouth of the machine. Upon going inside the closeness of the walls around him and the noise caused him to shut his eyes and take a deep breath, willing himself to calm down. Kai's thoughts then wandered back to what was causing this scan to happen in the first place. He knew what was causing this to happen to him. He just wanted to know why so much damage had been caused, and if the doctors here knew how to help him. As he just didn't want to have to deal with this anymore.
After what seemed like forever Kai felt what he was laying on move and the noise around him faded as he was brought into the open again. He sat up quickly, causing himself to feel dizzy as a result. The doctor then instructed him to go back to the examination room, and that he would be there shortly.
The bluenette quickly changed back into his normal clothes, and was retying his scarf when the doctor entered the room, holding a big brown envelope and his clipboard. Kai watched as the doctor took the dark sheets of thin plastic out of the envelope, and placed them on the fluorescent screen so that they could see them better. Dr. Sato then proceeded to point to different places on each of the scans, and the knots in Kai's stomach grew tighter and the worry in his chest grew deeper.
A worried brunette sat in her bedroom, thinking about what Kai could say when she told him. He wouldn't break up her would he? But she could not, not tell him, then that would be a secret between them and she didn't want that. She lay back on her bed staring at her white ceiling, wondering how she would tell him. Her mind then flitted back to Tyson, Ray and Max and hoped that they had gone home soon after she had. Soon enough sleep began to tug at her, and she let it pull her all the way. Hilary was woken up what felt like minutes later, by someone knocking at her door. The brunette quickly looked at the clock in her room; 8:38pm and raced downstairs and opened it only to find Kai there; she felt her heart beat faster.
"Hi," he greeted as he kissed her on the cheek. She greeted him back but noticed that he sounded upset.
Hilary sat on the sofa and Kai copied her, and he hugged her and she leant into his chest closing her eyes, hoping that he was alright. When she opened them, piece of cotton wool stuck to his arm with medical tape was in her line of vision. Hilary asked him what had happened.
"Um, I had blood test" he said quickly and quietly, remembering that he should have taken that off before he got here.
"Why?"
"I have one every so often." she nodded. "So what did you do today?"
She sat up out of his embrace and he wondered why as she looked away from him. "Um…I…um…you're not going to like what I have to say…Ray took a message for you yesterday about you having a hospital appointment today. And he suggested that we follow you. But when I got there, I realized that this was wrong and that we were betraying your trust by doing this. We, we were outside the room but I swear to you we didn't hear or see anything. I don't know if they did as I left them there. But I want you know I'm really, really sorry Kai, please forgive me," she explained feeling herself get all hot and bothered a she played with the hem of her cream skirt. Hilary was surprised when she felt a pair of strong arms around her.
"It's okay, I forgive you. I'm a bit annoyed that you followed me, but in the end you did the right thing and left. I'll have to talk to my team though. Thanks for being honest with me," he told her
"It's okay," she sighed relieved at his response, and turned round to kiss him. "Do you mind if I ask why you were there, apart from the blood test. You're okay aren't you?"
"Yes…I just went for a blood test to follow up the check up I had last time…but I'm fine, so don't worry about it," he said but she could detect a hint of sadness in his voice.
They then sat there talking together, kissing every now and again. Before sitting and watching a bit if TV their hands linked. Kai felt so good to be in the presence of someone who he loved and loved him back. It was weird that he felt so happy but yet so sad at the same time.
Later that evening Kai went home feeling annoyed at Hilary and the others for following him. But the feeling he got when Hilary told him the truth, had overpowered the other feeling, and it didn't hinder his love for her in the slightest. He thought it was because she was honest with him, and he sighed if only he could be completely honest with her…When he got back he had to now deal with his team, and wondered if they would tell him the truth as well.
When Kai finally arrived at Tyson's dojo he sighed again before walking in, finding his team mates not in front of the TV as usual, but heard voices coming from the kitchen. Kai peered at the clocking above the TV noticing that it was 11:25pm and thought it was a bit strange that the others were still awake. He peeked round the door to find them all eating and talking happily. Though it was a bit strange to be eating now, then again it could be a late night snack. Kai sighed yet again, and turned his gaze away from them. He finally stepped into the room and everyone went silent, turning their gaze to him.
"Hi Kai," greeted Ray always the first one to talk in situations like this, Kai just nodded so show that he had heard him as he fished in the fridge for a bottle of water.
"So how ya been Kai, we haven't seen you all day," asked Tyson.
Kai really wanted to say, 'Oh I think you have' but he wanted them to tell him first instead of him dragging it out of them.
"Good. So what have you guys been up to today, got any training in after I left?" he asked seeing them all glance at one another nervous looks on their faces. But Tyson quickly asked.
"Hey Kai, have you seen Hilary yet and like you know talked to her?" Kai held back a laugh at the expression on Tyson's face and wished he had a camera. There was a long pause, which Kai did on purpose as he wanted to drag it out for as long as possible.
"Yes, I saw her on my way here why?"
"Oh no we're dead," mumbled Tyson leaning back into his chair. Kai had heard this and smirked.
"Aren't you going to answer my question?"
"Oh yes…um, well…and please don't get mad at us but…well we followed you to the Hospital today. But we swear we didn't hear or see anything," confessed Ray.
"Did you do anything else except snoop into my personal life today?"
"Look Kai, we're really, really sorry. We're just worried about you dude. We just wanted to know if you were okay, and after Hilary lectured us and left we felt so guilty and left ourselves, but we're really sorry," apologised Tyson, Max nodding next to him.
"Fine, just don't let me catch you guys doing that ever again, because if you do I might not be so lenient," said Kai before quickly leaving.
They all sighed and thanked the heavens that they didn't get yelled at by their captain.
Once Kai had left them he almost ran to the bathroom, feeling so scared and sick with worry. After what he had been told today, he didn't know what to do anymore; he just didn't know what to do with himself anymore. He just hoped that he received better news tomorrow. At least he still had his team mates, no wait friends and his girlfriend Hilary by his side right? He smiled sadly, the others wanted to know what was wrong with him, and soon they would get their wish. And they wouldn't leave him once he told them right?
I hope you enjoyed.
