Ori: I decided that my previous story of the unseen stuff was a little too funky. So, I decided to change it a little bit into a more fortune like fic.

An old lady sat on the bench staring into the dust. The moon shone it's glorious reflection onto the Earth. She smiled at unknown. The bench wobbled a little and in came a teenage boy. He sat a meter away from her and stared blankly at the moonlit sky.

"Are you Kai?" The old woman asked, her voice croaked. The blue-haired boy stared at the old lady with one of his glares.

"How did you know my name?" Kai asked looking at the grin plastered on her features. She reached a crimpled hand into her breast pocket removing a pack wrapped in red silk.

"For you." The lady smiled. "It's a present. No bad luck." The old lady said extending her bony arm. Kai lifted his hand to meet hers and took the present. He unwrapped it exposing a deck of cards. On top was 'The Hermit' he looked up hoping to thank this lady for an unusual gift. The wind blew through his hair; the leaves rustled with the gust; she was gone. He looked around to see were the left, his gazed turned back onto the cards, onto was the same card, the hermit, the number nine onto with roman numerals. The wind picked up once more, the card flew up and landed on lap, reversed.

"Where did you go man?" Tyson whined his face long and full of sorrow.

"Hn." Kai replied the silk bundle safe in his cargo pants.

Tyson whimpered, "We don't have any money! And we are starved!" He continued.

"Tyson's right. We haven't eaten in ages!" Max concurred.

"We waited for you to come back. The restaurant wouldn't allow us to go in, for we had no money. And so thought that since you're the rich one. . ." Ray added.

"And?" Kai pretended to wonder sarcastically.

"We thought you could pay for our dinner!" Kenny peeped.

"So, they let you in?" Kai asked looking at all the guilty faces.

"Yes. And I have the bill." Ray stammered handing the piece of white paper to the blue-head.

"Let's see, $439.73." Kai read, eyes turning vicious looking at Tyson.

"I didn't eat even half of that list!" Tyson barged jumping up and down.

"You idiot! Do you think I'm made of money? Sure I have a few billions inside the bank that could last me a lifetime, but I'm not planning to spend any of it for you!" Kai loudly complained.

"But we don't have money!" Ray begged with the most pleading eyes in the world.

"True! True! Can you please pay the bill?" Max asked with an even more pleading look on his face.

"I'll see." Kai retreated quickly walking to his room. He took out the red silk cloth that held his new treasure. "Should I pay the bill? Nah, Why would I?" Kai asked taking out a card from the deck. He quickly shuffled the deck, by accident a card fell to his lap. The card entitled Magician, numbered with a one, in reverse. "What does this all mean? Can this card warn me?" Kai thought staring with great open eyes at what lay before him. "The Magician . . . Warns against hesitation, or against an unwillingness to confront the real world. Is that me?" Kai thought still staring into the true meaning of the card. Still he was a little dazed at knowing the meaning of the card. But how did he do it?

Kai strolled down the corridor once more walking into the room Tyson, Max and Kenny all share together. "Um." Kai stuttered looking at the rest of his teammates watching TV. Kai looked from the distance seeing the joy that surrounded the group. Tyson got up and left for the bathroom. Kai still stared at the rest of the group seeing how much better it looked without Tyson. However, of course, he looked harder at the group. They needed Tyson; Tyson made them all laugh and cheer. Kai thought of himself as disgusting just standing in the shadows as usual. For the first time since ever he thought of himself as imperfect and lower rated.

"O my god! Kai!" Tyson stammered looking at the shadow in the corner while clutching onto his heart. "Come out of there and join us!" Tyson remarked smiling.

"I decided I'd pay the bill." Kai briefly implied and quickly dashed out of the room.

"What's his problem?" Tyson thought as he cheered on with victory.

"Something is wrong, I can feel it." Ray's face screwed up and he walked out of the room. Ray walked down the hall to where his room was, shared with Kai. He pushed the already opened door open and looked at the sight before him. There in front of the fire sat Kai on the usual royal red chair, his face was blank and expressionless. He was already changed into his nightwear and removed the four triangles from his face. Ray walked up to him, making no noise on the padded flooring. Each step was as graceful as one of a tigers. He stood behind the red chair looking below him. Kai didn't even seem to notice Ray stood there. "Kai, uh, is there something wrong?" Ray demanded to know still looking down at the angled birds eye view. "Kai?" Ray continued wondering what's wrong. "I know you have been a loner since day one, but it wouldn't hurt to open up once in awhile. Don't you agree?" Ray asked kindly still looking at the blue-gray hair that tickled his chin as he swept above him.

"Maybe." Kai faintly whispered still looking deeply within the fire's beautiful glow.

The room went dark. The fires extinguished itself; all seemed so black. He finally regained consciousness of what was going around himself. He shuddered; he was cold and where ever he was got colder by the second. "Ray?" Kai voiced hoping to see the other boy in the distance of the sea of black and darkness. "Ray!" Kai yelled his lungs out not knowing were he was looking frantically around. Fire shot out of the blackened ground, the hot, red flames shot around him. "Dranzer!" Kai screamed grabbing into his pocket. Instead of pulling out the firebird, he removed a silk pack. He turned his gaze into disgust as he saw the red silk deck. He returned it into his pocket. Fire was being put out; red pored from the clouded murky sky. "What does this mean?" Kai whimpered still looking around for hope. Dranzer in his right hand being clutched tightly. "Ray!" Kai yelled yet again.

The scenery changed once more. He opened his mahogany eyes looking at the fire before him, and the pair of amber eyes that stood by five centimeters from his own face. "Kai?" Ray breathed his eyes full of concern as he looked at the shacking boy. "I'm here to help you." Ray continued holding his left hand. Kai looked down to his right where he saw Dranzer.
