Epilogue
Kai punched out with a left, then with a right, hitting the hanging bag with all of his anger and frusteration each time. Hitting the boxing bag with all of the hate he felt for the world right now, and most importantly, all the love he felt for Shanna.
Kai's breathes were coming in ragidly, but Kai took no notice of it, and did not slow down. He didn't even pause to wipe away the sweat that fell down his forehead and caught in his eye, causing his eyes to blur with hatred for the sweat that had conquered it.
The muscles in Kai's arms were the only thing on Kai's body that moved, the only thing that Kai wanted to move. The only thing that Kai used to express his anger, his pain, his love and his loss. For Kai, just as it was for an artist, his hands were the outlet for all of his emotions.
Kai was so intensely focused on what he was doing, on releasing his emotions that for once, he didn't know the slim shadow that crept into the room, closing the door softly behind her. He didn't notice how she approached him, standing so close to him and yet so far away, never touching him or calling for his attention.
Whether or not she understood what was going on, an onlooker would never know for her face and her eyes contained worry, worry for the boy she was looking at and yet she wouldn't touch him, wouldn't dare to disturb his sanctury. Maybe she did understand, or maybe she just didn't know how to express her misunderstandment. Again, an onlooker would never know.
Kai's muscles continued to constrict and then relax, constrict and then relax as he continued to unleash what was the power of his mind. Kai, though he didn't know it, looked almost timid, almost like an innocent puppy dog everytime he stopped for a second of breath. Then, just like a puppy dog, he seemed to grow up, to change, to turn vicious as he launched another punch.
Suddenly, as suddenly as it had began so long ago, his punching stopped, he stood back, as if looking at what he been doing for the first time. He frowned as if he didn't like what he had done. As if what he had been doing was something to be ashamed, but that was the onlookers' place to decide.
Then he slid down, crashing to the floor, as if he had lost all the bones in his body, but he stopped himself before he could completely reach the floor, leaving himself sitting, vunerable to the people that wished to hurt him. In this moment, he looked like he should have ten years ago, when he had been of eight, when he should have been running around, playing with his friends. The face that the mask his grandfather had given had hiden carefully, the face that Kai had so often wished to display and with Shanna he had.
But now, without Shanna, he couldn't.
"You look tired." The simple feminine voice said, not going into any detail at all. "You shouldn't come here and work like this. You might end up hurting yourself. Or worse."
Kai shrugged, not having the energy to argue with the person above him. It looked like he was drained of all bodily functions, like he was a body without any soul.
"Get up Kai." The voice said, her gentle voice remaining soft even though she demanded authority. Kai turned and looked away.
He did not wish to leave his chapel, not with her, not with anyone. He didn't want to leave the one place where he had found safety, the one place where, even without Shanna, he could be himself. The one place where he could remove the mask that he had so throughly applied to himself every morning, taking off only when he believed that the night would hide away what lied underneath. Only then and only now.
"Go over there and tell her Kai." The voice continued, not raising it's sound but it's light, it's way of thinking. "Or you will be like this forever and no one wants to see this."
Kai got up, the newly developed muscles that he had made over the last week, the muscles that had kept him sane as he had made them. The muscles that proved to him and everyone around him, that he was worthy of what he was going to ask for. Kai merely nodded to the slim shadow that remained hidden out of the light. Then he walked out the door, going to do, what he wanted, no needed, to do.

Kai stood at the doorstep, his body poised in the position of knocking, however, his body didn't seem to want to go through with the motion. Kai fell backwards, ran his hand through his hair and then knocked, the sound echoeing through the surronding area, making Kai even more nervous than he had been just a few seconds ago.
"Coming." The sing song voice made Kai shake, even though it sounded so happy, so peaceful, so timid, a voice that never would hurt you if it could help it but the voice that held Kai's heart in it's hands.
Kai was so deep in thought of what might happen, that he didn't realize that the door had opened at the girl was standing in front of him. More exactly, that Shanna was standing in front of him. Kai was suddenly brought back to the real world when she cleared her throat, announcing her presence to him.
Kai snapped up, his body standing straight and his muscles constricting once again, making Shanna's eyes open as she saw what he had been doing for the week that she hadn't seen him. For the week that had followed Luke's trial.
"I have something I need to ask you Shanna." Kai said finally, taking her hand, loving the feel of her skin in his, loving the skin that made him weak, that made his every priority fade away. He looked deeply into her eyes. "Will you marry me?'
