Chapter Ten - Grandfather's Revelation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TYSON'S P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I looked at Kai, He was lying on the floor, blood was running from wounds
that seemed to be everywhere. I looked at Kai's little sister. She seemed to
be really worried about Kai. She kept a tight grip on an old teddy bear and
clutched on to Kai's hand. When the ambulance came, the paramedics lifted Kai
onto a stretcher. He was still unconcious. Hikari, as she was called,
Wouldn't let go of Kai. She looked terrified. I couldn't blame the kid. "Hey
Hikari," I said. "Don't worry about Kai. He's tough." I picked her up. She
was so tiny, that her weight was barely more then my shcoolbag. Her eyes were
wide and frightened. "Will my brother be O.K. Tyson?" She asked me. I guess
she looked at me for the answers since Kai was lying on a stretcher. "I know
he'll be allright. Don't worry." I said to the tiny kid. I carried Hikari
out of the appartment. I saw the police, taking Kai's mother out of the
appartment. It made me sick to look at her. It was obvious that she beat up
on Hikari, aswell. I was holding her in my arms. She was shaking and
trembling, in my arms, and the tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was
still holding on to this teddy-bear. It was really old, but she held onto it
for dear life. Everyone piled into a car. Hikari wanted to go with Kai.
"Please Tyson?" Hikari said. Kai's grandfather nodded at me. I got into the
ambulance with Hikari and sat her on my lap. She clutched onto the bear. The
paramedics closed the doors, and I heard the sirens, I just hoped that Kai
would be O.K.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~KAI'S P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything was spinning. I tried to open my eyes, but the pain remained. I
could hear the BEEP BEEP BEEP of a heart moniter next to me. I heard Hikari
talking to someone.
"Hey Tyson, you said that Kai would be O.K. how comes he doesn't wake up?"
Oh great, the little squirt is asking Tyson, for advice, about me? I'm
surprised.
"Don't worry about your brother, Hikari, " I heard Max say. "Yeah, He'll be
fine." I heard Kenny say. "He's tough, the strongest of all of us. He'll
wake up soon." I heard Rei say.
Wow. I didn't know that they had so much faith in me. But I needed to have
faith in myself. Just then, I heard the heavy footsteps, that I had grown
used to hearing, by now. Even on the thick carpets at home, I could alway's
hear Grandfathers footsteps, on the stairway, or coming towards me. Where
ever I was, I could always recognise his heavy foot-falls. "Leave." I heard
my Grandfather's stern voice say. I didn't want them to leave. I wanted them
to stay. I needed their faith, and their encouragement. I had never had
anyones trust or faith before. I had to admit it now. I really did need them.
I heard the others leave. I heard a bit of protest from Hikari, but I was
sure she would go with Tyson if Grandfather glared at her. I heard them all
walk out of the door. I heard the door open and close. Grandfather had
stayed.
"Kai, you are stronger than this, I taught you to be strong. I know you can
hear me, my Grandson. If you don't wake up, then your sister will go into a
home, because I am not a legal blood-relative of hers."
What!!! No, I had to wake up. Hikari needed me. I heard Grandfather speaking
again.
"Kai, I will not let you die this way. It is no way for a member of the
Hiwatari family to die."
Die. Was I.... dying? I don't understand what Grandfather is saying. He
starts to speak again.
"Maybe you do not understand. The doctors say that if you don't become
concious soon, you may suffer brain-damage, or not survive at all. You are
all I have left. I never spoke of your father. I'm sorry for that. You can't
give up like he did. You are so like him, in so many ways. That's why I never
discussed him in front of you. I never wanted for you to end up like he did.
I wanted to protect you from that fate."
Was I hearing him right? He really wanted to protect me? I never knew that he
had actually cared about my father. I felt myself going down into the
blackness of my mind. I didn't want to, not now. I was finally hearing my
Grandfathers true feelings. I wanted to please him and be strong, like he was.
I didn't want Hikari to end up in an orphanage, or a home. They were terrible
places. I tried to fight the darkness, clouding my thoughts. It was choking
me. I could barely fight. I was still trying to listen to my Grandfathers
voice, using it like an anchor, to pull myself up.
"Kai. I have faith in you, your great strength. I know that you can fight.
You must fight. I need you here."
Wait a second. Did Grandfather just say, that he NEEDED me? That he had FAITH
in me? I couldn't believe it. He really thought that I was strong. He really
believed in me. I was still struggling against the darkness. It was still
trying to keep its hold on me. The darkness was so comfortable. It would be
so easy to give up, and let it take me. I would never end up hurt, bleeding,
having to hide. I could be free.
"Kai, I have faith in you. You have made me proud. My Grandson."
He's proud of me? OF ME? I couldn't slip away into the darkness. I couldn't.
Not now. I had to fight. I can't dissapoint him now.
"Don't make me believe that my pride and faith are misplaced. Don't stop
fighting. I know you will not dissapoint me. You never have, and I expect no
less from you now."
I was struggling. The fight was becoming easier, but I wouldn't slow down. I
had to struggle to get back to them. My sister, My friends and my Grandfather.
His words gave me more strength. The strength that I needed to fight. I
clawed my way up. I could see light up ahead. I was so close. Almost there
now. Almost there. Almost.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GENERAL P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai's Grandfather looked at Kai's unconcious form. He had said everything,
that he had wanted to say to Kai. He stood up from the chair and turned to go.
Suddenly he heard a faint noise. He whirled around, looking at Kai. The noise #
had definatly come
from him. "Gra-Gran-Grandfather?" It was weak, barely audible, but Kai had
called him. "C-C-C-Come-back. Come back. I ca-I can't-I can't hear you
any-any-anymore. Please-come-please come back. I-I don't know-which-which
way-way to-to come. C-C-Come back, Grandfather." Kai's grandfather was
shocked. "I am right here, my Grandson." He answered Kai. Kai groaned. His
eyes fluttered for awhile. Then opened fully. Kai tried to sit up. The others
had all run into the room. "KAI!" Hikari cried, her joy, evident on her face.
She threw her arms around his arm. She wouldn't let go if they tried to cut
her away with a chainsaw. Kai winced, the pain from his wounds, were still
raw and fresh.
"Oh, Kai, big bwofa. I'm soooo glad that you is wa-ked up. Are you Okay,
Kai?" Hikari said. The joy evident, in her small, round face. Max, Tyson and
Chief were jumping up and down with happiness (literally) and Rei was beaming.
Kai's Grandfather was sat on the chair, his face was expressionless, but Kai
could see that his Grandfather was happy. Kai had been with his grandfather
for eight years, and he knew that the only way to get to his true feelings,
was to look into his Grandfathers eyes. They were like a window to his soul.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~KAI'S P.O.V.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew that the others had faith in me. I knew my Grandfather had always
cared about me. I had my little sister with me. I couldn't imagine a time,
that I felt more willing to smile. So I did. I think everyone was so shocked,
that they nearly fainted. I couldn't help but laugh, when I saw the looks on
their faces. Hikari laughed, too. I actually felt like a normal person.
Something I haven't felt since before my Father died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you liked it. It was a bit cheesy, but I thought Kai should really have
his grandfather say something nice about him.
A/N: I actually started writing this fic, after watching "London Calling."
on Cartoon Network. I didn't know that Kai's grandfather's a total b*****d,
until I read it on the internet, so this is slightly A.U.
Please don't forget to R&R.
Thanx again.
Oh and Thanx to MidnightLoner for the spelling.
Next Chapter - Kai's Birthday.
"Welcome home Kai." Grandfather said. I knew that was about all I was going
to get. I knew that Grandfather rarely showed his feelings. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY
KAI!!!" I heard the others yell from behind me.
