'Thoughts...'
"Speaking..."
--Flashbacks--
More Then A Change
Ray yawned. He had been up all night tossing and turning, contemplating the groups run in with Kaiko yesterday. He had been so mad that Max had dared to look at Kaiko, let alone touch her. Kaiko wasn't for Max... Ray stopped in his thoughts and blushed. He really shouldn't be doing that, Kaiko, or rather Kai, would probably never even think of him in that way.
'Don't give up.' Drigger roared.
'Thanks Drigger. It's just that, I don't know, this is Kai. He's not the most loving guy there is, but I can't help but like him.' Ray sighed. He rested his head on the kitchen table and yawned again.
'Try harder. Look for the little signs Ray! Kai isn't a very outgoing guy.'
'Little signs? Like what?'
'Looking longer then needed too, unnecessary touching, secret peeks of you, or treating you nicer. You know, the little things.' Drigger couldn't help but to make a fake gagging noise afterward. 'All that mushy stuff that is no good.'
'Heh.' Ray smiled. 'Thanks. I'll keep those in mind.'
'You do that.'
**--**--**
Max bounced out of the Hobby Shop his Dad owned. He was in a totally good mood and he doubted anything could get him out of it. Even a verbal lashing from Kai couldn't stop his happiness. 'This is totally awesome Draciel!'
'Yes, I suppose so. Tell me, why are you so happy though? You only touched her hand.' Draciel spoke softly and directly.
'That was enough! She's is so cute! It's not everyday a cute girl will talk to a boy like me.' Max grinned happily. He was practically skipping down the sidewalk trying to get to Tyson's house.
'Right, and this is a reason to be giddy?' Draciel contemplated on this idea and shrugged it off. 'But you do have to remember, Mariah was nice to you and she was pretty wasn't she? Or what about Emily?'
Max almost fell flat on his face at the mention of Emily's name. He scrunched up his face. No way was Emily cute in any way. 'She's too... too... I don't know but she's just too much of something that I don't like.'
'Brains? Wit? Bossiness? Know-it-all?' Draciel listed off a few items and chuckled.
'Yeah, pretty much. Except the wit part, and the brains.' Max laughed and continued on his way to Tyson's. Only a few more blocks and that's all. Max hopped across the side walk lines, then leaped over the curb. He looked both ways and darted across the non-busy road.
'So Draciel, tell me the truth, do you think Kaiko is cute?'
'Hmph. I'm a bit beast, not a human.' Draciel gave a growl.
'Oh, you party pooper!' Max grinned and rushed into Tyson's yard. He jumped up by the door and gave a constant knocking. "Hello, is anyone home? I'm not going to stop knocking until you answer the door!" Max kept knocking. No one came. "HELLO?"
**--**--**
Tyson groaned and turned over on his bed. He kept hearing a boom, boom, boom noise and it was keeping him from sleeping! Tyson grumbled and pulled a pillow over his head. He tried to ignore the noise but it didn't work.
"Grr... damn salesman..... gunna choke em with their ties." Tyson mumbled as he got out of his bed. He tried once on a misplaced shoe, otherwise he made it through his messy room perfectly. Before he got to the door, he peeked in the kitchen and glared. Ray was face down on the table and sleeping. 'Wish I was doing that.'
Tyson yawned and went to the door. The knocking persisted and Tyson grumbled about to damn early in the morning. Tyson twisted the door knob and opened the door, causing Max to knock on Tyson's head.
"HEY!"
"Oh, heh, sorry Tyson! You just took so long!" Max grinned and gave a peace sign. Tyson just glared.
"It's to early to be so happy." Tyson moaned and walked away from the door and into the living room where he plopped down on the couch.
"Tyson, it's nine o'clock. Even Ray is up by now, and he's not the earliest of risers." Max stated, seating himself next to Tyson.
"Nu uh. He's sleeping in the kitchen." Tyson yawned. He smacked his lips together, grabbed a couch pillow and fell on his side, trying to sleep again.
"Hey! Stay awake Tyson!" Max shoved the other boy off the couch. Tyson hollered in pain and jumped up off the ground holding his nose.
"Why'd ya have to go and do that Max? That wasn't cool!" Tyson hollered.
"Well, at least you're up. Why don't you go eat breakfast, I'm... sure... on jeez, he's gone." Max laughed and followed the disappearing Tyson into the kitchen. Max entered and was greeted with the sight of Ray sleeping with his head on the table and Tyson already cramming cereal into his mouth.
"Eh Ahhs!"
"Eww, don't talk with your mouth full!" Max biffed Tyson upside the head. He took a seat next to Ray. Max blinked at the sleeping china man and poked him. Ray just mumbled. Max poked him again. And again. And again.
"Nnnn, shop." Ray mumbled.
"Shop? Heh, weird guy!" Max poked Ray in the stomach. Then in the back, then the head, the thigh, the leg, the arm, and the cheek. Ray didn't wake up. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Max got up and got a glass of ice cold water. "Say aaaahhh Ray!" Max poured the water on Ray's head.
"HOLY HELL!!" Ray jumped up from his seat, knocking over his chair. "Who the hell did that?" Ray glared and set his sight on Max who was currently on the floor laughing with a cup in his hand. "I'll get you, I swear I'll get you back!" Ray shivered and walked out of the room.
Tyson, clueless to these events and on his second bowl of cereal, hummed to the tune of "I'm a Toys-R-Us kid!" When he was ready to put his bowl away, he did a double take and noticed Ray was gone and Max was covering up a smile on his face. Tyson raised his eye brow and shrugged. He really didn't want to know.
"So, is there practice today?" Max asked, finally controlling his laughter.
"Dun know. Kai wasn't there yesterday." Tyson scoffed and got up to place his bowl in the sink. "Mr. Cranky Pants hasn't been to two practices and yet we aren't allowed to miss one!"
"Oh quite whining Tyson. There is probably a good explanation to this!"
"Right." Tyson scoffed. He was about to say more when the telephone rang. "I'll get it!" Tyson raced out of the room. He grinned triumphantly and snatched the phone from the hook. "Hello, Tyson here!"
"Hi."
"Kai!" Tyson practically fell on the floor. Never once in all of the time that Tyson knew the sour puss did he ever call his house. 'I didn't even know he knew my number.' Tyson composed himself and cleared his throat. "Where have you been for the past two days?"
Kai's reply was hesitant. A few sharp coughs later, Kai cleared his throat and spoke with a raspy voice. "There is no practice today. Train if you want to." Kai's voice broke off again as another round of coughs started.
"Hey man, are you okay?" Tyson's irritation with Kai faded and only concern was held in the boy's voice. "You don't sound so good."
"I'm fine. Bye."
The phone went dead. Tyson frowned and put the phone on the hook. Tyson walked back to the kitchen where Max was and sat across from him. He frowned harder and this caught Max's attention.
"What's up? Who was it?"
"That was Kai. He said we didn't have practice."
"That's great!" Max smiled but then stopped. Tyson still looked worried. "Something wrong? I thought you be the happiest about this."
"I am, but I think Kai's been sick. He sounded horrible on the phone! Barely got out a whole sentence before he hacked up a lung!"
"Jeez, poor guy. Maybe we should go check on him?"
"Maybe. Let's wait for Ray to get back out here. We'll ask then."
**--**--**
Fifteen minutes later, Ray entered the kitchen, hair wet and only in his baggy blue chinese pants. He immediately sensed the dullness of the room when he didn't see Tyson or Max laughing or talking. He sat next to Max and nudged him. "What's going on?"
"We were thinking of going to Kai's house today." Max stated.
Ray scrunched his face. "What for?"
"He's sick." Tyson answered. "We were waiting to see if you wanted to go see him with us."
Ray stopped and gulped. He didn't know if Kai was Kai or if Kai was Kaiko... he'd better go alone. Hopefully the guys would understand. "Hey, don't worry. I'll go see him by myself."
"Are you sure? I mean, we are his teammates." Max asked.
"Yeah, besides, Kai isn't nice when he's healthy, who's to say he'll be nice when he's sick and grumpy?" Ray tried to sway their decision to go.
"True. I guess." Tyson sighed. "Hey, no practice today." Tyson got up, grabbed Max's arm and left the kitchen to go call Kenny about the news.
'Okay Kai, let's go see how you're doing.' Ray stood up and exited the room.
**--**--**
Kai sat on his bed, leaning against his wood head board. He had his legs drawn up to his chest and his blanket wrapped around his body. Kai shivered and sneezed earning him a unpleasant moan of pain. Not only did his chest, throat, and nose hurt, but his arms and his stomach were killing him as well, and not from the flu that was for sure. His Grandfather had found Kai in his room last night, and threw him against the wall. Kai his a nail that was out and ripped the back of his arm open a good four inches. Kai's Grandfather continued to throw Kai into the wall again, knocking Kai's head into the wall, but thankfully no damage was done. The Grandfather then punched Kai in the stomach, making Kai double over and land on the floor.
Kai groaned. He could remember his Grandfather's exact words. "If you so much as think of leaving like that again, you'll find death would be a better punishment." Then, he left and Kai laid on the ground the whole night, trying to move but he couldn't. His arm hurt so much and his sight was blurry, not to mention he was incredibly dizzy.
Kai sneezed and quickly covered his mouth to hid a scream of pain. After his Grandfather's "talk" with him, his arm throbbed and his stomach had a huge black and purple bruise, sneezing was out of the question. Moving his stomach in the slightest hurt, let along his unattended arm.
'I'll never listen to a weather forecast for the rest of my life. I swear to it.' Kai sniffed and shivered. He was so cold. Kai then felt a faint tug at his mind. 'Dranzer?'
'Kai? Are you okay? I've been trying to talk to you all morning.' Dranzer squawked worriedly.
'I'm fine. I just have the flu.' Kai braced himself as another round of coughing came. 'Shit!' Kai squeezed his eyes shut and fell to his side, still squished into a ball. He held back a scream and inhaled sharply.
'Kai! You need to get some help! Being sick like this could seriously hurt you!' Dranzer screeched.
'No! I'll be fine, I don't need anyone!' Kai hollered back. He didn't want anyone near him, especially none of the Bladebreakers. He didn't think he could handle being around Tyson, Max, Kenny or Ray at the moment. Especially Ray. It was embarrassing to let anyone see him in such a weak state. Also, he didn't think he could hold out as much as he could. He was afraid he might slip up, causing Ray to figure his secrets out.
A knock at the door sounded through the room and Kai moaned. He didn't want to deal with anyone at the moment. Reluctantly he reached to a red button on his bed post and pushed down. He heard footsteps leaving and the door opening. Kai didn't bother trying to sit up.
"Kai?"
Kai bolted up, regretting so quickly. He slammed his back against the headboard and ground his teeth together. "SSSSsssss...." He squeezed his eyes together in pain.
"Kai!"
Gentle hands were placed on his shoulders. Kai glanced at the person touching him and tried to move away but the hands wouldn't let him. Kai growled. "Go away Ray."
"No way! You're obviously hurt Kai." Ray pulled Kai away from the headboard. Kai jerked in his hands, thrashing against his hold. "Calm down!"
Kai couldn't help it. Ray's hand was gripping his hurt arm. "Stop touching me!" Kai struggled again, ripping free from Ray's hold. Kai breath came in short gasps as he backed away from Ray, but wasn't able to lean against the headboard.
"What is wrong with you Kai? I'm just trying to help." Ray clenched his fists together. He stopped and realized something sticky was on his hand. He looked down, and gasped. It was blood, fresh blood. Ray stared at Kai, and then at Kai's arm. "Let me see that arm Kai."
"Go away." Kai tried to shrink away from the hand but wasn't able too. Ray caught him and examined the wound.
"Shit Kai! What happened to you?" Ray trailed a finger next to the wound. Kai hissed in pain. Ray withdrew his finger, startled. "Sorry."
"Whatever. Just go away." Kai mumbled. Kai sneezed. His body pitched forward.
"Hey!" Ray caught him, pulled Kai into his chest. "You okay?" He glanced down and saw Kai was no longer conscious. "What happened to him?"
'Ray, let me talk to Dranzer.' Drigger growled to his holder.
"Later. Right now, I've got to help Kai."
TBC...
**~~**Author's Note**~~** Teehee! Chappie six and still kickin'! Hopefully no one is bored with how slow it's moving, but I have to get this done! I'm sorry! Oh, and remember, Kai's b-day I believe is in **thinks** five days! **is guessing but it sounds right** There will be a surprise in the next fic, more yaoi, and a big skip in the time. I think. Hopefully it works that way. Oh, and for the whole Kai and Kaiko at the same time thing, I've got it all figure out on what I'm going to do, but I don't know if I should put that in a different story, or in this story. I think I might do it in this, cause I have the perfect way to do it! Now, to the important things! The thank yous! Thank you to Tikira, LB, an Anonymous reviewer, Ray/Mariah ficcys 4ever, Riona, and Lady BlackDragonFire. Also, thanks to Anime Fan, and to answer your question about Ray being a girl, that's a no go. I have an explanation for Kai, I just haven't gotten there yet. Sorry! :D
