TT: Yeah yeah, I know, more coffee at the end of the last chapter. Its just that I figure Kai would have been addicted to the stuff by now.
Kai: _WHY_ must you poeple insist on encouraging her?
TT: *hits Kai over the head* Be nice!
Kai: I don't do nice.
TT: -_- big surprise there... Anyway, I updated again! Aren't you happy! ^^
Kai: NO!!
TT: I told you to be nice... T_T
Kai: *crosses arms* whatever.
TT: Oh, and to Syaoran-Lover I say; thanks for saying I got the tainted aspect right, I wasn't sure how well I did on that. and to Elves of the Moon, yeah, I know its a strange title...
Kai: But she's too braindead to think of a better one. And she's too lazy.
TT: *glares at Kai*
Kai: *sends a 3rd degree deathglare back*
TT: *whimpers and ducks, turning attention back to readers* Anyway, I suppose this is a chapter that links the events in the last one to the events in the next one, so sorry if it seems so boring. AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED!!!
Kai: And the disclaimer; TT owns no beyblade what-so-ever.
TT: *gasps* not true! *huggles her new beyblade DVD (volume 10 ^^)*
Kai: -_-'' Except that DVD.
TT: ^__^

"Two broken ribs, another fractured, a great many cuts that we think we made by a knife, a badly sprained ankle, a broken wrist- he won't be able to beyblade for quite a while, and a great deal more, less serious injuries." The doctor explained to the old man in front of him.
Mr. Dickinson nodded, "Is that all, or is there anything else I should be informed of?"
The doctor turned the sheet of paper over, "Kai Hiwatari is was seriously dehydrated when he was brought in, but he's alright now. He's also malnourished and quite underweight, he refuses to sleep- that makes the recovery process longer and more difficult, and we also found... well, we're not quite sure. We found _something_ poking out of his neck and attached to his brainstem. We're not sure what it is or if it can be removed yet." The doctor handed an X-Ray with the chip in display to Mr. Dickinson.
The old man frowned, as he looked over the X-Ray, before handing it back to the doctor, "I'll ask him and his teammates about it."
***
"Do you think Kai will be happy to see us today? He wasn't exactly delighted yesterday."
"Well _maybe_ that's because Max nearly threw him out of the bed he was in when he jumped on it."
"Hey! Lay off Chief, I said I was sorry."
"In any case, guys, we should still see Kai and give him our support. I'm sure he's glad we're there, even if he doesn't show it. I mean, it gets pretty boring when you're stuck in the hospital."
"Hey yeah! Remember the glare he gave that doctor when he suggested we leave?" Tyson grinned at the memory, which seemed so amusing all of a sudden, "Hey, do you think Kai will let me eat his food, if he's not hungry, again?"
"Tyson!"
"What, I'm just asking."
The teammate paused at who they saw as they walked into the hospital, surprised to see who was talking to a doctor in front of them.
Tyson was the one who broke the silence. "Mr. Dickinson?!"
Their team manager turned and smiled at them, "Well, hello there boys. Here to see how Kai is doing too?"
Ray nodded, "Uh, yeah."
Tyson was looking around almost warily, "My grandpa isn't here too, is he?"
The stout man gave a laugh, "Oh no, don't worry about that."
The doctor tapped Mr. Dickinson on the shoulder, "The patient is in room #59 down that hall." He pointed with an arm and walked off after being thanked.
Mr. Dickinson turned to the BladeBreakers, "Well, shall we go see Kai, then?"
***
Kai was, once again, staring at the ceiling, because he was, apparently, not allowed to get out of the bed. He had been about to, but a nurse had come in with a tray and promptly scolded him in the same fashion a mother would.
Not that he had a mother to know this sort of thing.
Voices came from the hall, getting louder as they got closer, Kai recognized them instantly. He sighed, turning his head to look at the door. He was bored, yes, bored to the extent that he was almost asleep- almost- but was he really _that_ bored?
"Hey Kai!" Tyson was the first through the door, and the weakened blader groaned, closing his eyes and looking away as the rest filed in.
Which was why he was so surprised to find that Mr. Dickinson was there. In fact, he didn't know until the old man spoke, "Well Kai, how are you feeling?"
Kai didn't answer; only turning his head to look at Mr. Dickinson to show he'd even heard him.
"Hey Kai, aren't you hungry?" Tyson was staring longingly at the tray of food.
"You can have it, Tyson."
Before Tyson could grab the plate, however, Mr. Dickinson spoke again, "Now Kai, I don't think you should be allowing Tyson the eat your meals. According to what your doctor has told me, you haven't been eating enough as it is."
Kai scowled, having never liked being told what to do. "I'm not hungry."
However, Mr. Dickinson's statement had caused the others to think back as well. "How can you not be hungry, Kai?" Ray asked suspiciously, "Tyson ate all your food yesterday, and I doubt you had anything when Boris kidnapped you."
"I'm still not hungry." It wasn't exactly true, he was hungry, but at the same time, he didn't think he'd be able to keep food down, and he had a paranoid little feeling that it would be far too easy to slip crushed glass into food...
"And we don't buy that."
Kai raised an eyebrow at the suddenly serious expression on Tyson's face. "Whatever."
"Come on, Kai. At least eat a little." Ray persisted.
Kai didn't say anything, but glared at the amber-eyed teen.
Tyson, by some miracle, came up with a compromise that he knew Kai wouldn't refuse, well, he hoped he wouldn't refuse. "Tell you what, Kai. If you eat, even just a little of your food, we'll leave you alone tomorrow and train instead."
"You should be training, regardless."
"But we won't and you're in no condition to stop us." Tyson grinned smugly as Kai's scowl deepened.
Kai growled, "Fine!" Ignoring to triumphant grins his team shared, Kai took a small forkful of the strange substance the hospital called food and forced it into his mouth, glaring darkly.
Kai chewed forcefully before swallowing, allowing the food to slide down into his stomach, which almost immediately gave him the urge to bring it back up, having been without food for so long.
Kai looked at Tyson, "There, I've eaten, happy now?
"Aren't you still hungry?"
"...No." Okay, so that was a lie. Sure, he still felt as if he were about to be sick, but at the same time, his stomach was now demanding more food.
Tyson gave him a disbelieving look, but found it best not to push Kai anymore. "Sure."
Kai lay his head back on the pillow, suddenly finding himself very sleepy. He was vaguely aware of a nurse standing in the doorway, asking his so-called 'guests to come with her for a moment because the doctor wanted to speak with them, before he suddenly found himself falling into the familiar darkness of his nightmarish sleep.
***
Ray looked at Kai, surprised to find he had fallen asleep. He turned to the nurse, mouth open to speak and pointing at his friend, but she spoke first.
"Oh, did he actually eat something?" She was a bright and cheerful young woman, and there was delight in her voice, "He told me he wasn't hungry... The doctor told me to put some sleeping pills in his food. I guess they worked." She turned her attention back to the rest of the BladeBreakers and their manager, "Now, will you please come with me, the doctor wishes to speak with you."
Ray looked at the others, "You guys go, I'll stay here with Kai in case he wakes up again."
Knowing the great likelihood of Kai reawakening, the others nodded and followed the nurse out of the room.
Lying on the bed, face pale and contorted with imaginary pain, Kai let out a small whimper.
Kai: _WHY_ must you poeple insist on encouraging her?
TT: *hits Kai over the head* Be nice!
Kai: I don't do nice.
TT: -_- big surprise there... Anyway, I updated again! Aren't you happy! ^^
