The Next Day

The boys all got up early this morning even Tyson. After having breakfast, they quickly made their way towards the hospital.

At the Hospital

Kimi knocked on the door before walking in, she sighed as she saw Kai's still form on the bed signalling that he was still unconscious. He had tried to eat breakfast this morning, but the sight of the food had caused him to vomit and he passed out soon afterwards.

'I hope he wakes up soon. I just want to know that he's okay.'

Kimi sat down on the bed and just looked at his sleeping face. A smile came to her lips; he looked so peaceful when he was asleep. She brushed his bangs out of his face only to have them spring back there again. She smiled again.

'I wonder when his friends are going to get here? I mean I think it's great when they are here because Kai then has some people who care for and trust him around him. But at least it's quiet now.'

Just then the aforementioned bladers burst in through the door, causing Kimiyo to quickly stand up from the bed, giving herself a head rush.

"Good morning," almost shouted Tyson.

'Thought too soon well at least it was nice while it lasted, don't get me wrong they are nice, just loud. Well Tyson's loud.'

"Hi, and can you please not shout it is a Hospital," replied the Nurse.

Ray and Max also said 'Good Morning', and she greeted them back as well.

Kimiyo proceeded to change the IV bag; before putting a needle together, and injecting it into the cannula on the back of Kai's hand.

"Why are you giving him that?" asked Max.

"Since Kai hasn't been feeling too well and he needs to eat, this drug will hopefully stop him from feeling sick so that he can eat," she explained. "I'm off now, but when he wakes up could you please call me please, thanks. Bye."

The boys then started to chat, as there wasn't really much else to do. Soon enough they ran out of things to say and Tyson got the packet of cards out of his pocket again, and they started to play a game of cards.

A moan from the bed caused them to turn to away from their game to find their team captain laying on his back eyes wide open.

"Kai, you're awake. How do you feel?" asked Tyson.

Kai winced at the loudness of Tyson's voice, and replied, "I'm okay, and do you have to talk so loud."

"Sorry."

"It's okay," Kai said as he sat up. He stared at his hands for a little while, before turning to staring out of the window.

"Kai, are you scared?" asked Max out of the blue.

Kai was surprised at that question and then quickly answered, "Of what?"

"Of what's going to happen to you and or what you're going to have to go through to get better?"

"Well-" Kai then started to cough making him hold his chest in pain; he then took a tissue out of his pocket and covered his mouth with it. When he had finished he quickly put it back in his pocket.

"Kai are you alright?" asked a worried Ray, Kai just nodded trying to regulate his breathing.

"Kai aren't you going to answer my question?"

"…Not really, no," lied Kai.

"You're braver than me; I would be scared to death."

Kai just quickly looked at Max.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry; I didn't mean to say that."

"S'okay."

'Truth be told. I am really scared, terrified even. I just don't want them to know I am.'

"Oh yeah we have to tell Kimi that you're awake," remembered Tyson.

"Don't worry you don't have to," said Ray.

"Why?" asked Tyson

"Because I'm right here," said a voice right behind them, as she stepped beside Kai's bed.

"I didn't hear you come in."

"Oh sorry, Kai how are you feeling"

"I'm just tired."

"Oh okay, could I ask you boys just to go out for a second please."

"Yeah sure," said Ray as the others followed him, hoping that they wouldn't be too long. Kimiyo followed them as far as the door and pulled the little shutter down so that no one could look in. She then sat back down on the bed.

"Kai does anywhere hurt?"

"My chest, I started to cough before and this happened," he said as he brought a blood stained tissue out of his pocket.

"You know what caused this don't you?" Kai just nodded, as Kimi hugged him knowing that he must be scared.

"…Kai, I've got some really bad news," she said quietly.

"What?" asked Kai feeling his heartbeat getting faster.

"Um you know you have metastasis…well um…the cancer cells have sped up and caused you to have a tumour right at the base of your brain, and if it gets any bigger it will, kill you. They think this is what has been causing you to pass out. The doctors can try to cut it out but since it's where it is, when they're cutting it out they could sever you spinal cord."

"But that would mean I'd be paralyzed from the neck down right."

"That is one thing that could happen or…"

"Or what?"

"Or since it is where it is…it would…kill you instantly."

Kai looked down at his hands, not wanting her to see how shocked he was. He could either wait to die in the next couple of months or he could try and have the surgery but then die anyway.

Kimi watched Kai, not having any idea what was going on inside his head. She could feel the tears in her own eyes and hugged him, hoping to make him feel better. Kai snapped out of it and laid his head on her shoulder.

"If you choose to have the surgery you'll have it in the next couple of days," she felt Kai nod.

Kimi and Kai stayed in that position for while when she felt something wet on her shoulder. She broke the hug and moved him so he was facing her but Kai wouldn't look her in the eyes. She wiped the tears away and then continued to hug him.

"I don't want to die," whispered Kai as more tears flowed down his cheeks.

Kimi didn't know what to say so she just hugged him tighter as the tears in her own eyes threatened to spill.

"If you do choose to have surgery I'll be behind you every step of the way and so will your friends."

"But…but I don't know how to tell them," whispered Kai.

"What about if I…help you tell them?"

"Can't you just tell them?"

Kimi shook her head, "I'm really sorry, but you'll have to tell them. Besides they'll want to hear it from you. But I promise I'll be in here when you tell them alright?" Kai nodded.

"…I need to know your decision by tomorrow morning, I know it isn't a long time but the Doctors want to try and get you better as quickly as possible."

Kai again nodded as Kimi kissed him on the top of his head and rubbed his back.

The three teens stood silently outside the room, leaning against the wall, wondering what was being talked about inside. The door opening caused them all to push themselves off of the wall.

Ray noticed the sadness in the nurses' eyes, but it was gone the moment she turned to look at them.

"I think you guys should go home for today."

"Why?" asked Max.

"Kai needs to rest."

"But we'll be really quiet," pleaded Tyson.

Kimi shook her head, "I'm really sorry guys but you're going to have to go home."

"Is he going to be okay?" asked a worried Ray.

Kimi looked down at her hands, so she wasn't facing them and replied, "We…we don't know."

"Hey are you alright?"

She looked up a fake smile plastered on her face, "Yeah, yeah I'm fine, see you guys tomorrow." As they left tears spilled down her cheeks and she wiped them away just like she had Kai's.

I hope you enjoyed.
