Chapter thirteen: A promise full of love
NERV ER.
Kai slowly opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling, he felt some weight on him and sat up with some difficulty. He realised he was in some kind of an emergency room, probably in NERV's special underground hospital but more to the point Madison was lying on him asleep. Kai sighed and shook his head stroking her hair before pulling her onto him embracing her, her eyes flickered open and she turned her head to look at Kai.
"Hey.you alright?" Kai said smiling.
Tears started flowing freely from her eyes "a better question would be.ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?"
Kai leaned back "Maddie I."
"DON'T YOU MADDIE ME KAI SINOTO!!! We were all worried sick about you.especially me."
Kai looked down and said nothing, when she realised Kai wasn't reacting she stood up and turned her back on Kai "I should go."
Kai looked back at her "wait Madi."
Too late, she slammed the door leaving one very hurt Kai sitting in a bed. Kai laid back down and stared at the ceiling *why me?*
Commander Ikari's office.
"I see.yes, yes right away." Gendo put the phone down and turned to Kouzou "its time to go."
"But Ikari."
"We must go..SELEE's orders."
"I'll speak to Kai when he's recovered"
"See that you do"
4 hours later NERV dorm Kai's room.
Kai closed down his computer, sighed and sat down n the bed. Mero floated into the room and sat on his shoulder looking at him with a deep concern. Kai looked at her and plastered a fake smile onto his face before gently picking her up and laying her down in his lap and stroking her.
"I heard what happened between you and Madison Kai."
Kai stopped stroking her "she's upset because I fought him alone.is she still upset?"
Mero nodded "its not like she's angry its just that she was scared throughout that whole fight.what did the commander say?"
Kai sighed and closed his eyes "we.have to go back when NERV goes back"
"When did Ikari say they were going?"
".2 hours from now"
Mero looked down "I see."
"Its not like we're not coming back.I'm sure after we explain what has happened fully they'll let us come back."
Mero looked back at him "after what as happened.they'll count you as a traitor"
"Hah.they'll class me as a traitor but the high council only wants someone to blame"
Kai stood up and started to walk out but Mero transformed and stopped him "where are you going?"
Kai looked down at her "I'm going to see Madison take care of everyone else"
Mero nodded "good luck"
Geo-front.
Madison stood next to a lake in the Geo-front the lights from above almost made a reflection that looked like the suns, she smiled at the thought that it was all over but the smile quickly faded when she felt Kai's aura.
Kai approached her and stood next to her "mind if I sit here?"
Madison shrugged as he sat next to her "what do you want?" she asked.
Kai sighed "Madison.I've got to go back."
She looked at him "w-what!?"
"I'm sorry for worrying you but Dan was my friend and I had to fight him alone."
Madison was silent as Kai stood up "I.should go"
His footsteps faded into the distance and when he could not be heard nor seen anymore tears flowed from Madison's eyes "Kai.I'm sorry too"
2 hours later.
Sakura emerged from the portal smiling "they're back in their own dimension"
Kai stepped forward and adjusted a few switches on the portal opener, suddenly the portal flickered but quickly stabilized.
Kai stepped towards the portal with his back turned to the others "it's time for me to go back"
They all stared at him not knowing what to say.Kai took a few more steps forward towards the portal but a voice stopped him.
"KAI WAIT!"
They all turned and saw Madison running towards Kai, she jumped into his arms and buried her head into his chest "don't go"
Kai smiled and lifted her head "I have to go.but I promise.with all my heart that I will return to you"
Madison wiped her tears "really?"
Kai nodded smiling a smile that made Madiosn melt, she let go of him and looked down while Kai walked back towards the portal with Mero close behind him. When they got to the portal Kai stopped just in front of it and said without even looking at Mero.
"Mero.I want you to stay here"
"But why Kai?"
"I want you to look after Madison for me until I return.please Mero"
Mero nodded "okay"
Kai smiled at her and walked into the portal but not before saying to Madison "life is not eternal.but my love for you is."
