Tears of Twilight
ch 15
Kaye slowly stood up and then sat on Thunder's bed. She reached out towards him and drawn him to her. Kaye kept her eyes closed as they rocked back and forth for a little while, and then all of a sudden she stopped rocking, and her eyes snapped open. "Kaye what is it?" Cye asked as he looked at her in concern.
Kaye let go of Thunder as he started to get himself calmed down, and then looked towards her in concern. "Damn it! Why didn't I think of this before?" Kaye swore quietly as she frowned.
"Kaye, what? Think of what before?" Thunder asked now slightly confused.
"I'm such a baka." Kaye grumbled as she leaned back against the wall and crossed her arms.
"Kaye, you're still not making any sense," Cye replied, and then the realization hit him. "No way, forget it! You're not going to do it!"
"Ok, would you two back it up here? I think that I missed the train, because I still don't know what you two are talking about." Thunder asked still in a bit of confusion.
"Cye, it might be our only chance. It's worth the risk." Kaye replied as she got that determined look in her eyes that he knew so well.
"Hey, remember me, I'm still here you know." Thunder said as he was starting to get a little annoyed.
"Sorry Thunder, I think that I might have an idea of how to get in contact with our friends." Kaye replied as she looked over to him.
"You do? How?" Thunder asked with a slight feeling of hope.
"She's talking about dream walking." Cye replied as he shot her a look.
"What's wrong with her trying, Cye? I mean if it's our only shot, then I say let her do it."
Thunder said as he was trying to figure out why Cye was so against it.
"Because Thunder, it's very dangerous, every time that she dream walks, it drains her life
energy." Cye replied as he looked over at him.
"What? Kaye, is what Cye saying true?" Thunder asked as he looked over to her in concern. Kaye gave a small nod, "but it's only temporary, because I've been doing it for a while."
"I don't care, you're not going to do it, and that's final." Cye said sternly.
"I'm sorry, Cye, but there's nothing that you can say or do to convince me otherwise." Kaye replied with stubbornness.
"You're not going to budge on this, are you?" Cye asked as he looked into her eyes with concern. Kaye shook her head, telling him that he was right.
"I'll only be dream walking for a short time, and I'll let you bring me back anytime that you want, ok." Kaye replied as she laid her hand onto his shoulder.
"Ah, I have a question." Thunder said as he watched them.
"Yea?" Kaye asked as she glanced over to him.
"How is Cye suppose to bring you back?" Thunder asked.
"Simple, I wake her up." Cye replied with a smirk.
"Oh." Thunder replied as he blinked. Kaye snickered a little bit. Then she walked over to the base of her bed and sat down in a cross-legged position and closed her eyes. Cye and Thunder watched as Kaye got herself what looked like into some kind of meditation, and then she began her dream walk.
Inside of a mountain cave, three fighters and a silver tiger were all sleeping next to a small fire. Rowen frowned, "what's going on here?"
"Rowen?" a familiar voice called out to him.
"Kaye? Kaye, it's you, what's..?" Rowen asked in confusion.
"I don't have much time, Rowen, you and the others have to do a convergent dream tomorrow night." Kaye replied hurriedly.
"A convergent dream? Kaye, what are you talking about?" Rowen asked. Kaye quickly explained that everyone has to have the same dream at the same time, but the only catch was they all had to be thinking of the same people in order for this to work.
"Do you understand, Rowen?" Kaye asked as she was starting to fade.
"I..I think so, Kaye, what's happening? Why are you fading?" Rowen asked back.
"I can only be here for a short time, I have to find the others quickly before the sun rises."
Kaye replied, and then she looked over at Kento, "Rowen, please tell Kento when he wakes up, that I love him very much."
Rowen nodded, and then watched Kaye disappear. Then as quickly as she could, Kaye zipped through the dream realm looking for any familiar dream patterns. When she was about to keep going, she then recognized one. "Sage, hey, Sage! Man and I thought that Rowen was always the hard one. Sage damn it, snap to it!" Kaye said to him as she finally got his attention.
"Kaye? What's going on?" Sage asked, "are you and the others ok?"
"Let's just say that it's no Grand Hyatt Hotel. Anyway, Sage, I don't have much time. I've just got done talking with Rowen..." Kaye started to say.
"Rowen? Is he, are the others.?" Sage asked as he interrupted.
"Rowen's fine, the others are fine. Now Sage, listen, I don't have much time. Now please
listen. As I started to say, I already told Rowen that he and the rest of you have to do a
convergent dream tomorrow night." Kaye started to explain.
"Whoa, whoa, a convergent what? Kaye, you're not making any sense." Sage replied in slight confusion.
Kaye gave a sigh, "remind me when this whole thing is over, to educate you guys on this stuff ok." Kaye then started to explain what he and the others were supposed to do. Sage still wasn't too sure, but since he knew that Kaye knew what she was talking about he decided to go along with it. Just then, Kaye shouted out in pain as she fell to her knees.
"Kaye! What happened?" Sage asked in alarm as he ran over to her, and tried to touch her. But as soon as he was going to grab onto her, his hands went right through. Sage stared wide-eyed as he saw that Kaye was still fading.
"Something must be happening on the other side. I have to get back, now. Please Sage, remember what I told you." Kaye replied as she faded from his dream.
"Kaye, wait!" Sage yelled out as he sat up and woke the others.
"Sage, what's the deal? What's going on?" Ryo asked groggily. Sage started to explain what just happened. He could tell that Ryo and especially Flash were having a hard time taking it in, but the more that he explained it, the more it became clear.
"I can't believe that she did that, what was she thinking?" Ryo asked in disbelief.
"Ryo, whoa, what are you talking about?" Flash asked back in slight confusion.
"When Kaye dream walks, it drains her life energy." Ryo replied with a frown.
"So then you're telling me that she risked her life to tell us to do this...convergent dream
tomorrow night? Why?" Flash asked in disbelief.
"I'm not sure, but I think that it's her way to tell us that she, Cye, and Thunder are going to pay us a visit tomorrow night." Sage replied.
"Can she pull it off?" Flash asked in somewhat of concern.
"If there's one thing about Kaye that we know, it's this. If she says that she'll pull it off,
then she'll do it, no matter what it takes. Even if it means.." Ryo replied, as he didn't need to finish because they got his point.
"Rowen? I don't believe it, you're the first one up?" Kento asked groggily as he saw that Rowen was staring out into the Dynasty from their cave.
"Kento, see if Scorpio is up, there's something that I need to talk with you two about." Rowen replied as he kept his gaze outside. Kento gave him a slightly confused look and then went to see if Scorpio was up, luckily he was and then the two joined up with Rowen by the cave's entrance.
"Alright Rowen, what's the deal?" Kento asked as they gave him their undivided attention. Rowen took a deep breath and then began explaining what happened in his dream. To say the least, Kento nearly had a heart attack when Rowen was done explaining.
"Kaye, why?" Kento asked in a whisper. Scorpio looked at Kento in a slight confusion, Rowen noticed this, and then explained the reason why Kento said Kaye, why.
"Don't worry, Kento, I'm sure that she's all right. And besides, Thunder's there, remember, so if anything did happen, then he could heal her." Scorpio replied as he was trying to be reassuring.
"Kento, there was one more thing that Kaye wanted me to tell you." Rowen said as he looked at him.
"Yea?" Kento asked as he looked back at him.
"Kaye wanted me to tell you that she loves you very much." Rowen replied with a small smile.
"Rowen, do you think that she knows that..?" Kento asked.
"I'm sure that she does, Kento." Rowen replied.
Back in the room, Kaye's body started to shake a bit from the strain of the two dream walking trips. "Cye, what's going on? Why is she shaking like that?" Thunder asked in concern.
"The strain must have been too much for her." Cye replied in concern as he knelt down next to her. "Come on Kaye, wake up!"
Kaye shot awake and then fell back, her breathing was shallow, and her eyes were dull. "Kaye, no!"
"Cye, move out of the way!" Thunder said as he slid over to her, he laid his hands onto Kaye and then started to glow red. Thunder frowned; it shouldn't be taking this long to heal her. Then suddenly Kaye sat up and gasped for air.
"Kaye!" Cye exclaimed as he hugged her fiercely. Thunder finally powered down and then gave a small smile as he sat back against Cye's bed.
"I'm ok, Cye. Thanks again, Thunder, you know, we should really start keeping scorecards. It'll be easier to keep track that way." Kaye replied with a small smile and then hugged Cye back.
"You're welcome. A scorecard? Hmm, actually, that sounds like a good idea." Thunder said with a teasing grin. Kaye and Cye broke from their embrace and then gave each other a mischievous look, and then looked towards Thunder with a mischievous grin. "Ah, guys, what are you up to?"
"Are you sure that you wanna know?" Kaye asked.
