~*~Kai's dream~*~

A fiery red phoenix rose out of nowhere, bound by locks and chains. For one horrible moment, Kai thought that it was his precious Dranzer. but the markings were orange instead of yellow. Kai let out a sigh of relief, and then he suddenly remembered that the flaming bird was that girl's. Then why did it come to him?

The bird opened its beak, and to Kai's surprise, it began to talk. //hello, Kai Hiwatari, right now, I have no choice but to ask you for help, please, please take phoenix away from here, far away!//

'Who's phoenix? And why?' Kai asked the most obvious question The poorly treated phoenix sighed, and began explaining //phoenix, is my mistress, in other words, the girl you saved. And the reason I want you to take her away, is.// the phoenix began fading fast, it screeched out the last few words in utter agony //her life...is in danger....please!.....take her away!..please!!//

Kai was pained to see such a regal bird, begging, and in such a helpless state. 'But...' the phoenix faded completely, all was left was a whisper //and please don't tell her about this dream// then all was silent.

~*~Dream end~*~

Kai opened his crimson eyes and stared at the ceiling. 'What did it mean?' he thought silently. Then a screech was heard. Kai slowly got up, not want to get dizzy again. His scarf was folded neatly by his 'bedside'. His hand immediately reached and touched his neck. 'Oh great! Now the girl's going to pity me. That's the last thing I need right now.' Kai quickly tied the scarf on his neck. And went down the stairs. [A/N or tried to ^^] he groaned a little as he went down the stairs, clutching the railing for all he's worth.

A very wet and annoyed looking black haired girl was holding a plastic bag. And as she saw kai, standing on the stairs, she immediately scowled. "And who told you to get off bed?"

Kai bristled a little, but answered calmly, "no one"

The girl shook her hair free of water and walked up the stairs carrying the plastic bag. When she got to the part of the stair that Kai was on, she nudged him.

Kai hesitated, wondering if he should tell her about the dream now. 'And please don't tell her about this dream' it echoed in his brain. Maybe he shouldn't tell her.

Phoenix, getting impatient, tapped her foot on the stairs, snapping Kai back to reality.

Kai frowned and went up the stairs, still deciding whether to listen to the bird or not.

When they both reached the top of the stairs, it was phoenix who broke the silence. "Here is some food, if you want some, go ahead."

"I'm not hungry" Kai muttered. Then clearing his throat, he said, "You are coming with me"

"Excuse me?!" phoenix half yelled.

"You are coming with me" Kai repeated firmly

"Why would I listen to you?" asked phoenix, completely in disbelief

"Because..it's not safe here..." Kai faltered a little.

"Why would you care?" the girl asked suspiciously.

"Just-" just then, a loud bang was heard

Phoenix, annoyed went to the railing to check who it was that dared intrude.

Standing by the door, dripping wet was...the hooded blader that took her bitbeast. Her anger flared up, causing the specks of crimson in her eyes to glow. She watched as the intruder caught sight of her. She swung down from a pipe and landed neatly in front of the stranger. "What do you want?" she hissed, anger bubbling up.

The stranger said nothing as he took out his blade and launcher. Phoenix took the challenge and took out her own launcher and blade as well.

The two blades hit the ground at the same time, sparks flew as the blades got at each other, clashing and slicing. The silver blade dodged all of the black blades attacks and went for phoenix. The blade flew at the girl's head, but phoenix dodged. The black blade leapt up, hitting the silver blade in midair, knocking it to the ground.

"Sylveria! Rise and show what it means to be queen of the jungle!" the cloaked figure yelled. A silver tiger bitbeast rose out of the silver blade, growling and hissing at phoenix.

'Crap' phoenix thought as the tiger started slicing her blade with the powerful looking claws.

Kai meanwhile was watching the battle from the second floor. It was obvious that the black blade was losing, since it was at such a big disadvantage. 'She is going to hate me for this' he muttered as he launched his own blade. 'I can't believe I'm doing this...for a girl'

The blue and red blade landed beside the black one, helping it fend the tigress off.

"So looking to your boyfriend for help, Hun?" the figure spat

Phoenix was fuming as she looked up and gave Kai a death glare. 'What does the guy think he's doing?!?! This is my battle! I don't need his help!'

Without command, Dranzer rose out of the bit, immediately attacking the humongous cat.

"Sylveria! Death strike!" the figure cried

"Dranzer fire arrows!" kai yelled from above

The two attacks clashed, causing a powerful explosion. Both the figure and phoenix was thrown backwards slamming into boxes and glass from shattered windows.

Kai had to shield his eyes from the light. He jumped off the railing and went over to retrieve his blade, and checked if there were any damage. [A/N yes, blade's always first...]

Phoenix staggered up, then winched as a spasm of pain went through her side. Clutching her side in pain, she limped over to where the cloaked figure was slumped on the floor. The cloak was empty. The person had escaped, leaving a trail of blood. Phoenix started to follow, but stopped as the unbearable pain went through her sides again.

"So what were you saying about me going with you?" phoenix asked, trying to keep her voice steady, and keeping her wounded side in the shadows.

Kai picked up phoenix's blade and started walking over when phoenix said sharply "don't move forward!"

Kai raised his eyebrows. "Why?" he asked, still walking forward.

"I mean it! I'm warning you! Don't walk another inch towards me!"

Kai was surprised by the urgency of her voice. then he saw a puddle of crimson colored blood pooling at her feet. "You are bleeding" Kai walked forward, and was even more surprised when she backed away from him. 'What's wrong with her?' he asked himself silently.

As if read his mind, phoenix looked at him and asked, "Why should I trust you?"

Kai realized the blood seeping from a wound at her side. "Let me look at the wound" he commanded

"Why should I trust you?" asked phoenix again, trying to keep her voice steady.

Kai walked towards phoenix, whose face was dark and tense, watching him intently with her icy brown eyes. "Don't come any closer! Or I'll seriously fight you!" she hissed as Kai came even closer. Finding her back against the wall, she kicked Kai in the stomach.

"Arg! Let me look at the wound!" Kai growled

"Why? I don't need your help!" phoenix stubbornly refused. But obviously she did, her wound was bleeding like hell, and her hair was almost red from the cut on her head.

'There's no other way' Kai thought grimly as he closed the space between them with one stride. Phoenix swung her fist, ready to punch Kai in the jaw, Kai, anticipating this move, caught her wrist.

"Let me go!!" phoenix shouted as she swung her other first, to strike Kai. But Kai dodged and grabbed her other fist as well. "Let me go you bastard!!" phoenix yelled, full of rage.

"Stop it! You are going to hurt you self more!" Kai hissed

"LET ME GO NOW!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, but soon regretted it. Pain shot through her sides, she would have collapsed if Kai had not been holding her wrists. But stubborn as ever, she still struggled on.

Kai was getting impatient. The wound was bleeding badly, and the puddle of blood is growing larger by the second. To stop phoenix from struggling, he pressed his well-muscled body against hers.

"What are you doing?" phoenix couldn't keep from trembling a little. Then a searing pain, shot through her side. Kai expertly pulled the glass out, throwing it behind him. He took his silky white scarf off his neck and bandaged the wound.

Phoenix tensed as his fingers accidentally brushed her well-toned stomach. She shivered a little, "get off me" she said, trying to sound calm, but her voice came out as a tiny squeak.

Kai looked down, and the crimson pools locked with chocolate, phoenix blushed and looked away.

'Why is my heart speeding up? Yah sure, the guy's cute..WAIT! Did I just say that guy is cute?! What is wrong with me?! I think I lost too much blood' phoenix shook her head as to get the offending thoughts away. Kai was still holding her wrists, and they are starting to hurt. "Get off me" she muttered. It was still a little shaky, but she blamed it on her wound. Anything to get her mind off of what she was thinking earlier.

Kai was wondering if he should let the girl go, afraid that she might throw another tantrum and hurt herself even more. //since when do you care so much about one person?// came a voice. 'shut up Dranzer' Kai muttered as he blushed //ohhhh! I didn't just see the great Kai Hiwatari blush did I?// the bitbeast taunted. 'Seriously, Dranzer, shut up!' //or what?// asked the bitbeast curiously 'just shut up' Kai repeated. //I bet you can't even look at the girl now// the bitbeast said, laughing to himself.

'I wonder..if he likes me..' phoenix's eyes widened, and shook her head to clear off the offending idea. 'of course he doesn't, why would he? Besides, he probably got a girlfriend already.' "let me go will you?!" asked phoenix, confused and anooyed at her thoughts.

Kai snapped out of his argument with Dranzer and let go of phoenix's wrists, and took step backwards. Big mistake. Phoenix didn't know that Kai was supporting her and almost fell, if Kai didn't catch her.

Phoenix growled and pushed against Kai "I don't need your help, I can stand up by myself!"

"Prove it" Kai said, smirking

When Kai let go of her, phoenix took a step forward and almost fell on a pile of broken glass. Kai caught her and well... they kind of hugged..they both blushed a light crimson color. But this time phoenix didn't push him away, instead, she rested her head on his chest. Kai's eyes widened, and blushed a deep crimson color. //hahahahahahahahaha.....ahem...ha! I was right!! You do like the girl!// the bitbeast laughed 'I...' Kai rolled his eyes, and decided to ignore dranzer's taunting. Listening to the comforting rhythm of Kai's heartbeat, phoenix drifted off to sleep [A/N yes, standing up..but Kai's holding her.....]
