Ai ga sakimasu: 2. Blossoming understanding
---------------
Kai looks at Ray for a moment,into his lost gaze and face.It turned out that Tyson and Max had to practiacally drag him back here.
Kenny designed a new training program,involving hitting thick block of wood that were standing up like dominos.First,Tyson tried,only to have hitting eight.Next,Max tried,and only hitting three.
"Come on,Ray.Go ahead and try.",urged on Tyson.
Ray nodded absent mindedly.
"Let it rip!",his voice so unenthusiastic and out of it that even Kai flinched,just a little.
His beyblade,that no longer had Driger in it,skidded towards the first one but just bounced off of it.
"Ray,why did you bounce it?",Tyson asked a bit harshly.
"Try again Ray.",encouraged Max.
"Right.",Ray whispered.
"Let it rip!"
"He isn't even puting out 50%.",said Dizzy.
It bounced on the first block again.
"Come on! Try to focus Ray!",yelled Tyson.
Ray just got his beyblade and walked out.
Tyson was about to go after him until Kai stopped him by a grasp on the shoulders.
"Leave him be.He needs time."
******
Ray walked down the sidewalk.The sun setting at the side of him.He just finished a battle with some little kids.
'I need to try to be stronger without Driger.I relied on him too much,that i was blinded from the fact that i was not getting strongrer,Driger was.'
"Ray.",a voice said,interrepting Ray's thoughts.
He turned around to be greeted by Kai.
"What is it?"
"We need to talk."
"If it's about me losing Driger..."
"It's not.It's about you losing yourself.",said Kai.
Ray hesitantly nodded slowly.
"Follow me.",Ray followed Kai to a large cliff that was right above the ocean.The sun still setting.They had a great view of it.The sun's lights reflected on the ocean's blue water making a slight glowing aura about the whole scene.
Kai sat there,unmoving.
Ray glanced at him,and was wondering what Kai wanted.
"What do you feel now?",Kai asked suddenly after a few silent minutes.
"Uh...Well...",Ray felt so uneasy telling Kai the pain he was feeling.
Kai sat there patiently waiting for a proper answer,sort of surprising Ray,as he knows Kai isn't the most patient person.
"To put it short,i feel like Ray doesn't exist anymore.",he answered truthfully.
Kai then looked at Ray.
"I mean,i don't feel alive as i use to...not as confident...not as anythin--
He was cut off with a punch to the face.
"You feel that way,because you let yourself feel that way.You give in to the sorrow and pain,and you don't give your strength and pride a chance.Have you know sight that your loss has not also affected you,but others as well?",Kai asked,his voice strict,yet understanding and gentle at the same time.
(Don't ask my how.I don't know either.)
"Others?"
******
"Let it rip!",yelled Tyson.
"He's improved.",stated Dizzy.
"You guys are still practicing all this time?",asked Ray as he saw them practice.It was already dark,and it was in the morning when they started.
"Ray,we're not going to give up.We're going to get Driger back for you."
He almost hit every block,and had one more to go before it stopped spinning.
"Oh,that was so close!",said Kenny.
"Yeah,that was.",said Max with a smile."My turn--
"May i go next?",asked Ray.
Everyone looked at him.
Tyson replaced the broken blocks with new ones setting them up."I'm done."
Ray nodded.He glanced at Kai who was watching and smiled slightly and mouthed a 'thank you'.
He then turned his attention to the course of the blocks."Let it rip!",he yelled,more serious and focused than before.
