Kai opened his eyes just to find that he fell asleep. He looked at
the clock and it read 6:55. His team-mates were still asleep, so he just
got up and changed. He did some other chores, like washing things and
sewing. At around half past eight he roused the other team members and
started making breakfast. As he watched the others eat, he slipped quietly
out of the room and disappeared.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Kai looked longingly, yet disdainfully at his reflection in the countless store windows and sadly touched the glass. So, innocent, he thought, remembering his past, I was so, innocent.
"Hey!" Kai heard a voice yelling toward him. It was Rei.
"Are you okay?" Rei asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I just needed a fresh air," Kai replied, forcing himself into a pained and extremely fake smile.
"Something's wrong Kai. Don't try to hide it from me," Rei warned seriously.
"Alright," Kai caved in, "what was your first clue?"
"Cummon Kai. It was so obvious! You NEVER smile at me like that."
"Okay, got me there."
"Duh Kai, I'm not blind y'know."
Suddenly, Kai heard a quiet whistling coming closer towards Reis neck. He realized it was a dart and jumped between Rei and the needle. The dart injected Kai's neck instead and he sank to the floor, slowly, the room spinning.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Kai slowly came to, his vision hazed and blurry.
"Kai! Kai wake up!" Kenny whispered, shaking Kai by his shoulders.
"What's going on?!" Kai yelled in reply.
"Thank God the poison hasn't kicked in yet" Kenny sighed, folding his hands n prayer.
"What poison?" Kai inquired.
"The freaking dart that stabbed you in your neck!"
"What?!"
"You have 24 hours to live."
"What the freak!"
"We have to get you the antidote. For now, Kai, just rest."
Kenny gave Kai a foul tasting medicine and Kai drank it silently and obediently. His eyes were tired, his body was tired, his mind was tired, and his spirit and soul were tired. With that, he fell asleep before his pale face touched the white pillow-case.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
The next morning Kenny went to check on Kai, and predictably, the bed was vacant.
Kenny just sighed and grinned. (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Kai had successfully escaped the Hospital and went on to search for Boris. He had done this; Kai could feel it in his blood. HE TRIED TO DESTROY MY HONOR BY KILLING ME AND SAYING IT WAS PUNISHMENT FOR MURDER OF ANOTHER BLADER, Kai thought, his fists so tight his fingernails dug into his palms. He just knew it. Wait, how the heck do I know this? He asked himself, surprised he hadn't noticed before.
Your training allows you to read these things, have you forgotten you idiot? A voice in the back of his mind asked testily.
"No, I haven't forgotten," Kai replied this voice.
How could he?
