Max blinked as Ray took the bottle out from the cupboard, "Sleeping pills?"
"Right now, what Kai needs most is sleep. We can talk to him later, when he's thinking straight again, but right now I think a couple of these are what Kai really needs."
Max looked at the bottle, "How many should Kai take?"
Ray frowned slightly, turning the bottle over, "Uh, go ask Kenny and ask him."
Max visibly brightened as the pixie stix he was eating kicked in, "Okay!!" And with that he ran, or rather, bounced off to the bedroom.
There was aloud thud, then a yell of shock, followed by a "Max!? Stop jumping on my bed!"
"Ohgoodyourawake,RaywantedtoknowhowmanysleepingpillstogiveKai'causehehasn'tbeensleeping!"
"... Come again?"
Ray shook his head and walked over to the bedroom. Max was, indeed, bouncing on Kenny's bed, with Kenny now sitting on the floor.
And Tyson was still lying, half on, half off his bed, snoring.
Ray sighed, "Hey Kenny, how many sleeping pills should we give Kai?"
"Why do you want to give Kai sleeping pills?"
"He hasn't slept in days! And he won't tell us what's wrong."
"So you want to put sleeping pills in his food our something?"
Tyson looked up sleepily, "Did someone say 'food'? ...Hey, what's in the bottle?"
"Uh, sleeping pills. We're going to give some to Kai."
Tyson sat up and grinned broadly, "That's a great idea! They we won't have to train for a day!"
"Is that all you can think about? Or haven't you notice how weird Kai's been acting? I mean, he hasn't gone to sleep for days now!"
Tyson looked thoughtful, "Hey yeah, you're right. He hasn't yelled or argued with me for a little while now."
"Exactly! Now, Kenny, how many pills do you think would put Kai to sleep for, say, six hours?"
"Well..."

Hand on the wall for support, Kai walked through the hall. He could hear the voices of his teammates in the kitchen, fading in and out.
Pulling himself upright, Kai walked through the door. Ray and Max cast him worried glances, but otherwise acted as if nothing at happened last night, for which Kai was glad.
Kai walked over to the coffee pot, only to find a cup of the brown liquid waiting for him. He blinked, had he become that predictable?
Too tired to think on it, Kai mentally shrugged and drank the cup. It tasted... different. But, once again, Kai was too tired to care.
"Are we training now, Kai?" Ray asked, relieved and gleeful to see his leader unknowingly take the sleeping pills. Using decaffeinated coffee was a good idea on Kenny's part.
Kai looked up at Ray, his eyes slid out of focus once before focusing on him. Kai nodded his head silently, then turned and walked out to the dish.
Ray gave a feline grin to his friends, before they followed their leader out.

"Let It Rip!" Tyson and Max were training, with the others watching. The two bladers glanced over to where Kai was leaning. His eyes were on their blades, but they kept drooping tiredly.
Kai's eyes slid out of focus again as his eyelids got heavy. It was hard just to keep them open. His eyes closed and he found that he couldn't seem to open them. He leaned more heavily on the wall. The sound of the spinning blades faded to an almost unheard buzzing. A warm shadow seemed to cover his mind, and all conscious thought faded.
"Did it work?" Max watched as Ray gently shook the blue-haired teen. Kai's hair just flopped slightly
Ray nodded, "Yeah, he's asleep." He gave them a grin, "Come on, let's get him inside." Ray lifted the sleeping blader onto his back, "Whoa!"
"What?"
"He's a lot lighter than he looks." Ray frowned, Kai must have been skipping more meals than he thought, "Come on, and lets go."
"Alright! No more training!" Tyson cheered, punching the air. "Lets go eat!"
Ray shook his head, "You can if you want, Tyson, but I'm taking Kai in."
"'Kay, seeya Ray! Come on Maxie- I know this great restaurant with an all-you-can-eat buffet!"
Ray just sighed and went inside.
***
Ray had managed to but Kai in his bed, and was about to leave when a whimper reached his ears. He glanced back at Kai. A look of fear, perhaps even panic, was on his usually expressionless face.
Kai was murmuring something in his sleep now, and Ray moved closer to Kai so he could hear him. "Dun hurt me... Sorry... No... Please... ...Do better, next time..." This was followed by another whimper, this one in pain.
Kai's head tossed back and forth, before he still again. The expressionless mask came back up and Kai's words became mere mumblings. Sweat began to form on his brow- showing his otherwise hidden distress.
Ray bit his lip; maybe the sleeping pills hadn't been a good idea. He knelt in front of the bed, shaking Kai, "Kai, wake up, its just a dream."
Kai froze up again, a look of horror crossing his face, followed by a low cry, "No, not you..." Another whimper, this one in pure desperation, "No... Stop...... Black Dranzer..." With a suddenly yell, Kai's garnet eyes opened wide and he sat up. Kai sat there, still for a moment, panting. Slowly, the gasps became quieter, before stopping altogether.
Ray carefully put his hand lightly on Kai's shoulder, distressed when Kai tensed and moved away from the touch. "Kai, are you okay?" Mentally, Ray kicked himself. Of course Kai wasn't okay! Kai hadn't responded, so Ray tried again, "Kai?"
Kai was silent for a moment longer, still staring ahead, his eyes now cold and his face emotionless again.
Then, without a word, Kai leapt off the bed and left, leaving Ray to stare after him. Ray sighed as he stared at the doorway Kai had left through, Ray started speking to himself, "Okay, so maybe that wasn't such a good idea..."
