Chapter 21

"Kai, you're awake," Kimi stated a smile on her face.

"Are you alright?" asked Tala. Kai smiled, so glad that he could see their faces which meant that he was alive, he was alive. Kai then went to speak but started coughing. Once he had calmed down Kimi pressed the button for a nurse to come.

Soon enough the door burst open and in rushed a doctor a worried look on his face, but when he saw the boy awake he sighed.

"How do you feel?" he asked moving closer to the bed.

"Alright," Kai whispered, wanting to know if he was going to walk again. "What…what…" he started. Tala looked over at him confused before working out what he was trying to say.

"He wants to know about his spinal cord," said Tala bluntly.

A surprised looked appeared on the doctor's face as he looked down at his clipboard silence once again grabbing the room. Kimi and Tala feared the worst as he hadn't said anything yet, as did Kai.

"Will you just come out with it already!" shouted Kimiyo, wanting to know if her cousin was going to walk or not. The doctor looked up at her distressed face embarrassed before once again looking at his clipboard.

"It seems that during the operation Mr. Hiwatari suffered some damage to the spinal cord, causing it to be almost severed. So we don't know yet if he would be able to walk or not," the doctor shakily said as tears came to the woman's eyes.

"Don't…don't cry," whispered Kai before coughing again. Kimi just smiled at him, squeezing his hand a little bit. Kimi looked at his face for any recognition of the squeeze, but she received none which confirmed what they all feared.

"So now I'm going to have to do some tests to see if you can feel your legs and arms," the doctor told them before getting a long silver pointy object out of his doctor's coat. He then brought the sheet up covering Kai's leg, before rolling the pant leg up. "Tell me do you feel this," he asked poking the object into his leg, before poking it into his foot and his toes.

Realization crossed Kai's face as he couldn't feel any pain or anything. Kai shakily shook his head.

"Okay how about in the other leg and foot?" Kai again shook his head feeling the tears welling up. "Could you try and move your legs for me?" Kai tried with all his might, begging to whomever to still let him use his legs, but of course it didn't work. "Thank you Kai, I'm sorry to say that you've lost the use of your legs. We will give you a wheelchair, and we will also give you a few lessons on how to use it alright." Kai just numbly nodded not wanting to take any of this in.

After the doctor had replaced the cover on his legs, he removed the ones on his upper body and poked the silver thing into Kai's right arm, before it went into his hand and his fingers. Again no pain or sensation that the thing was there registered in Kai's mind. He then did it with the other arm and hand and of course the same result was given.

"Now could you try and move your arms for me?" Kai again prayed and begged with all his might to try and move his arms, as at least then he could still Beyblade. But of course this also didn't work. Tears finally cascaded down Kai's cheeks as Kimi hugged him crying also.

After they had calmed down the doctor had a solemn look on his face, he always hated this part of his job. He just wished that they could have saved the poor boy's spinal cord. "I'm again very sorry to say that you've lost the use of arms. And because of this I'm afraid that you will need round the clock help. Do you know of anyone who could help otherwise we could arrange -"

"I'll do it," Tala butted in, knowing that Kai wouldn't like to live in a care home or with some complete stranger.

"Is that alright with you?" Kai slowly nodded, as Kimi wiped the tears off of his face. "Now I know you've had a lot to take in today; but now we have to discuss chemotherapy. We managed to get rid of all the tumours in your body. But you will undergo chemotherapy to make sure that the cancer is gone. We will start you on it tomorrow alright." Kai just nodded, feeling the tears once again filling up his eyes.

The doctor then quietly left, knowing that he now needed to leave them alone, so that they could get used to the fact that he would need a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

"What…what am I now?" Kai shakily whispered.

"Um, you're a quadriplegic now Kai is that what you mean?" replied Kimi shakily. Kai just nodded closing his eyes.

Kimi looked up at Tala her sea blue orbs simmering with tears. 'What are we going to do?' she mouthed. Tala just shrugged his shoulders, not knowing what to say to his best friend, who has just lost the use of his arms and legs.

"Kai do you want me to tell you the effects of chemo?" she asked wanting to just talk so that she wouldn't think about what had just happened for too long. Kai nodded, wanting to know what he was getting himself into.

"Well since your primary cancer was stomach cancer, they will probably use the drug ECF, which is Epirubicin, Cisplatin and Fluorouracil. Your cycle of treatment will probably be every four weeks. So you'll have it on the 1st – 4th days then we will let your body recover from the 5th – 28th days. The effects of it could be; nausea; vomiting; loss of appetite; metallic taste in mouth; thinning of hair; you'll be tired most of the time and your immune system will be suppressed by the drugs, so you may have an increased risk of getting infections. To give you the drugs they will take you to a different room, and give it to you through and I.V. drip. Before they give you the chemo drugs, they will give you an antiemetic about 30 minutes before you go in to help with the nausea and vomiting," explained Kimi. Kai just nodded trying to take all of this in.

Soon after Kimi had explained what he would go through, Kai started falling asleep. So Kimi and Tala were silent until they were sure he was asleep.

"How come you didn't say anything?" she asked.

"I, I don't know. I just didn't know what to say scared that I would say something stupid and hurt his feelings. I just want him to be alright and I wish there was a way to do it," replied Tala. Kimi just nodded knowing how he felt now. "I'll go and tell the others what has happened, alright." Kimi just nodded.

The remaining Bladebreakers saw Tala walk out and rushed over to him. Tala smiled solemnly at them.

"I'm sorry guys; he's lost the use of his arm and legs." They looked to each other upset that this had happened to their team captain. Tala then walked in and told them to follow him.

They gasped when they saw how pale and sick Kai looked, and they wished just like the other two had done, that this had never happened. About an hour later a nurse came to tell them that visiting hours were over. The Bladebreakers sighed before trudging out.

Once they were gone Tala had managed to sneak back into the room, smiling at Kimi who was still in the room. Sitting beside his sleeping friend he wondered what had happened to that wooden box that Kai had. So he opened the drawer on the bedside table, which caused the redhead to gasp as he took the note off of the top of the box.

"What, what is it?" she asked moving round to his side.

"Read it," he ordered. Kimi read it gasping as well, before smiling, knowing now that their wishes had been granted.

I hope you enjoyed.
