Since so many of you said you didn't want Kai to die (Hey, I rhymed! *gets hit with a random flying shoe* @-@) I decided to let him live......
Sorry about the *really really really really really (times infinity squared)* slow update. *sheepish look*
Oh well, neh?

The first thing Kai was aware of was the pain. He opened his eyes and blinked as they tried to adjust to the light.
"Kai?" a voice to his right questioned softly.
Kai focused his gaze over to his right to see Dranzer. He did a double take.
"Dranzer?"
Dranzer chuckled slightly at his reaction. While Kai was out they had called for an ambulance and because they didn't want to explain about Dranzer, he decided that he would use an even more human form. So sitting next to Kai was a teenager, looking to be about seventeen, eighteen, with shorter red hair and gold eyes, wearing a red long sleeved shirt and blue jeans.
"You had us worried." Dranzer said sobering.
"How did I get here?" Kai asked struggling to sit up before wincing a bit as a jolt of pain from the bullet wound on his chest coursed through his body.
"After you passed out and I got rid of 'it' Tara called for an ambulance." Dranzer answered, helping Kai into a sitting position.
Just then the door opened, and Tara, followed by Takahashi, walked in, Takahashi having his arm and shoulder in a sling.
"Master Kai!" Tara called as she saw him awake.
"We're so glad you're alright!" Takahashi said smiling.
"Thank you, both of you, but please don't call me that. It's just Kai." Kai said granting them a small smile.
Hs smile grew almost sad as he gazed at the people who were always there for him.
"Kai?" Dranzer asked, worried.
Kai just squeezed Dranzer's hand lightly and tilted his head up to regard the two before him.
"I want you to have the house." He finally stated.
The reaction was instantaneous.
"WHAT?!"
"I want you to take the house." Kai said quite calmly, "I'm not going back, I do not want anything in it. I owe you two a lot for everything, "he continued on before anyone could protest about the owing part, "I *want* you two to have it."
"But..." Tara started.
"Where will you go?" Takahashi asked.
Kai smiled, a soft tolerant smile, no one had ever seen him wear before. "I honestly don't know yet."
"What about your team?" Dranzer asked, having been silent during this time, taking it all in.
Kai seemed to think about it. "They'll be fine." He finally decided on saying before regaining that smile, "They'll be champions." He added with conviction, but paused after saying that, his smile fading. "What about you Dranzer?"
Dranzer looked remarkably like a deer caught in headlights. "What....? What do you mean?"
"What do you want?"
Dranzer stretched slightly, reached over and clasped his hands with Kai's. "I want what you want, I'm happy when you're happy. You want a change of scenery; I say 'Let's go'."
Kai chuckled a bit, before everyone looked at the door startled, Kai's doctor running in and closing it behind him. A lot of voices yelling in the hallway.
Sweatdropping slightly as he saw he was the center of everyone in the room's attention the doctor cleared his throat lightly.
"Ah, Mr. Hiwatari, I see you're awake. That's good." The doctor began, only to be cut off by Kai.
"What's going on out there?"
"It seems the blasted media got wind of the fact that Kai Hiwatari was shot and in the hospital and now it's being aired all over. The people yelling out there are the reporters, police, and your teammates, who came down here after they heard what had happened." The doctor explained.
"What do they know?" Kai asked weary.
"Who? The media or your teammates?"
"Both." Kai answered.
"Well, they both only know that you were shot and in the hospital," the poor stressed doctor said before quickly adding at the almost evil look the red haired 'teen' gave him, "nothing else!"
Kai sighed ad placed his head in his hands for a moment.
"Uhh, sir? What should I tell them? Do you want to see anyone or...?"
"Tell them I'm dead." Came the muffled answer.
"Excuse me?"
Kai lifted his head and looked the doctor straight in the eye. "Tell them I'm dead."
"But,..."
"Just do it. You'll be paid well for it." Kai said all business.
The doctor sighed and rubbed his temples.
"Alright." With that he turned and headed to the door preparing for the amount of people out there and what he was going to say. He paused for a moment at the door and tossed a "Good luck, and I hope you know what your doing", over his shoulder before resuming his gate out the door, closing it again behind him.
It was a few minutes before anyone said anything.
The corridors outside his locked hospital room door were silent as well, before the noise came back with vengeance.
The four of them in the room tuned it out as it became harder and harder to recognize any thing they heard. It all blending together.
Kai turned to the two eldest in the room leaning against Dranzer before he helped him up.
"I guess this is it." Kai said softly as Dranzer went to fetch his clothes.
Tara nodded teary before hugging him.
"Take care of yourself." Takahashi added as Tara let go and he hugged him.
"I will."
"He will." Dranzer added coming up behind him and handing him some clothes.
"That goes for you to Dranzer." Tara said with a little laugh.
Dranzer blinked, "Yes Ma'am."
Everyone had a good chuckle at that.
"Visit." Tara called back just as they slipped out of the room.
"I will!" he called after them.
He pulled on his clothes, wincing lightly, and discarded his hospital gown, before he turned to Dranzer.
"Let's go."
Dranzer nodded and opened the window. They were on the top floor, but what was that to a phoenix?
Picking Kai up he quickly got them to the roof, before transforming back into his phoenix form. The great phoenix 'bowed' in a sense and let Kai get on him, and then they were off. To were? Who knows? Somewhere new. Where they could start over.
A crimson shooting star across the night sky.
