Well, after my seemingly pointless note....here's the next chapter.

I think it's kindof boring, but the next chapter is going to have action in it.

I promise!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Dickinson walked into the large hotel room.

"Mr. D! Where have you been? We were gettin worried." Max exclaimed leaping out of his seat and up to the BBA president.

"Sorry boys. I just went to have a talk with Kai's doctor." He replied.

"Is he awake?" Rei asked axiously.

"....not yet, but he's showing signs of waking up soon. I would give him a couple of weeks." Mr. Dickinson lied.

The team was depressed still, but seemed happier knowing Kai was getting better.

There was a knock at the door.

"Alright! Food's here!" Tyson yelled and ran for the door.

Kai woke up dazed again. He still couldn't see so he just stayed down on his back.

He had just woken up from his last surgery about 15 minutes ago. He was glad the surgeries were over....now he just wanted out.

He took in a deep breath and exhaled. He braced himself for another coughing fit, but it never came.

"I must be getting better." He thought to himself, even though his body didn't feel it.

He heard someone enter the room.

"Mr. Hiwatari? Are you awake?" A female voice asked.

Kai turned his head to face the noise and sat up slightly.

"I brought you some lunch."

"No thanks....I'm not hungry." Kai replied.

"But you haven't eaten a thing since you got here! You need to get your strength back." The voice pleded.

"I said no thanks." He turned his head away.

"Well then....I'll leave it here just in case." Kai's nurse said and left the room.

After a few moments of doing nothing...Kai's hands found their way to the bandages covering his eyes. He felt at them for a while.

"When do I get these stupid things off!?" Kai thought. He growled in annoyance.

Just then someone entered the room again, and Kai's hands quickly fell to his lap.

"Good afternoon Mr. Hiwatari. How are you feeling today?" This time, it was a male's voice.

"Okay...I guess." Kai crossed his arms. His left arm had healed almost completely, but he still winced when he moved it. He just ignored the pain.

"You seem to be recovering very well." The doctor was looking at his clipboard and writing things.

He then checked all of Kai's wounds to make sure they were still closed and not bleeding. He then made his way up to Kai's eyes. He lifted up the bottom and looked, then went back to writing.

"When can I take these off?" Kai asked all of a sudden.

The doctor didn't say anything for a few moments, he just continued writing.

"Well......" He went back over and looked under Kai's bandages again. "I guess we can take them off today. Would you like to?"

"Of course you moron! What kindof question is that?" Kai thought. He shook his head slowly.

"Alright then." The doctor left to get some supplies.

The doctor came back with a nurse about 10 minutes later. The doctor pulled up a chair next to Kai. He told him to close his eyes and to open them only when he said.

After a few moments, all the guase was unwoven from Kai's face.

The area around his eyes were bruised with blue and purple, and his eyelids were almost black.

"Okay Kai. You can open them now. They may hurt for a while though." The doctor said.

Slowly, Kai opened his eyes. There was a bright light at first, and Kai's arm went up instintively to block it. After a moment, the light died down, but everything still looked fuzzy. He looked around, taking in his surroundings. At the foot of his bed, a nurse held up a sign. It had different letters of different sizes.

"Can you read the sign?"

Kai had some trouble at first, but was able to read some.

"Hmmmm.....very good." The doctor wrote some more stuff down. "I'm surprised you can see at all."

Kai yawned....he was getting tired again.

"We'll let you rest now." The doctor and nurse left, and Kai soon fell asleep.
