'I understand, I finally get it.' Kai thought to himself.
Kai looked up at the moon from the hotel balcony where the Bladebreakers were staying, the very evening that had followed the 'incident' outside the school.
The moon was red and full.
Kai did not like this. A moon being red was usually the sign of an ill omen. Though, Kai dismissed it, and continued to stare at the full moon in the midnight black sky.
He kept having visions of her, was it because she was the one who had finally melted the coldness around his heart? Or was the thawing just starting?
Kai knew what he had done was wrong, but it felt so right. It was hard to describe. The feeling that he wasn't alone, that he had someone to share his pain. A shoulder to cry on.
Yes.
A shoulder to cry on.
'The reason why she and her team are so strong. The reason why Tala could never defeat Tyson. The reason Ray defeated Lee, and Max defeated Michael. The reason Julie wouldn't give up on life.'
Kai mentally flinched as he recalled the moment, playing in slow motion at the back of his mind.
Sometimes, Kai would sit for hours staring up at the moon, watching the world pass him by. The cold night air washing over his face. Closing his eyes, it was so clear, listening to his heart.
In his past, he had nothing to live for, he was used, like a puppet. By his own flesh and blood, by his grandfather and BIOVOLT.
He had found the one who would guide him, to the limits of his joy. Joy that he had never experienced, just being around her made him feel like smiling.
No more. No longer would Kai ever cry alone.
'Was it wrong?' Kai pondered. 'Was it wrong to use her as a way of freeing myself from my pain?'
[She has done something else no one could do Dranzer, she has lifted the weight from my shoulders.] Kai told his Bit-Beast. [My angel.]
[Angel?] Dranzer questioned. [Even after being in the back of your head for all this time, I still don't understand you.]
Kai shook his head and gave a hollow laugh. [You call yourself my Bit- Beast?] He asked.
[No, I call myself Dranzer. Don't you?] Dranzer replied.
"Kai?" Ray asked, walking out onto the balcony. "What are you doing up? It's like two in the morning."
"I couldn't get to sleep." Kai replied, not even turning round.
"Oh, okay. Hey!" Ray said, energy and excitement flooding about him. "Are you going to the Beystadium to watch the Regional tomorrow? I'm so excited to see the girls in action."
"I'm not going for that reason." Kai snapped, shooting Ray a cold glare. "I'm going to make sure BIOVOLT don't try anything funny."
"Is that." Ray began, struggling to hide a smirk on his face. "The only reason?"
Kai spun round. "What are you implying?" He spat.
"Oh, nothing." Ray said, turning away to hide his grin. "I just thought--"
"You thought wrong, there is nothing going on between Julie and I!" Imminently after saying this Kai smothered his mouth with his hands. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' Kai cursed himself, giving him both a mental and verbal beating.
"You would like to test how strong the girls actually were." Ray finished, his smirk widening into a grin, demonic was the only word capable of describing it. "I see." He began, struggling very hard to hide his laughter. The cold hearted team captain, warming up to a. girl! It was just hilarious!
"You don't 'see', Ray." Kai yelled, Ray spun round, amusement fading from his face, and being replaced with a look of confinement.
"You could never understand how we feel! No one can!" Kai spat. "Never."
"I'm sorry, Kai." Ray apologised. "I only ment it as a joke."
"It wasn't funny Ray." Kai growled. "I know I'm not the type to express my emotions often, but I'm not completely incapable of being unhappy or sad, I'm not a robot. Just think how you would feel if I did that to you."
"Yeah, that wouldn't be very funny if you said that about me and Chelsie." Ray began, now it was his turn to shove his hands in his mouth to shut him up. He frantically shook his head as Kai mimicked the same little demonic grin Ray had expressed just moments before.
"Ray?" Kai said, his grin widening reliving his pointed little white teeth, grinning like a vampire would. "I think you've just pulled a 'Tyson'."
