Keira: i do not own beyblade(honestly.. if i did, do u think i would b sitting here writing?)

Chapter 15: Healing

Tyson and Max went down to the childrens ward with the kid, but Rei stayed behind. He just looked at me.

"I gotta get back in top shape in 18 days, I need your help." I pleaded.



"But that would mean going against doctors orders, and breaking into the gym..." Rei said undecided.

"If we get caught, I'll tell them I put you up to it." I said, desperate.

"Like they are gonna buy that, buuut we have to start somewhere.. how about sitting up first?" Rei said. It was his way of agreeing to help help, so i worked on sitting up and holding beyblades and moving my legs. One day a girl in on me trying to stand, the first time since I couldnt move.

"Hello." She said cheerfully, "I havent introduced myself yet, I'm Hilary," she said, then her face clouded as she watched me trying to stand. "So the great Kai cant even stand?!?!? Some great you are."

"Hn," I said, "I dont know why you are following Tyson around and frankly I dont want to know. Maybe if you go through what i have I just might care what you think, but until then, stop wasting my time." That seemed to put her in her place. Kenny came walking and saw us in out glare match. He promptly walked back out, and stood in the hall. Hillary went to give him a piece of her mind. I knew this, because I could hear it, for heavens sake they were only outside the door.

"What on earth was that all about?" Kenny asked.

"What was it about? I thought i would see the great Kai, leader of the Bladebreakers, and he told me off!" Hillary ranted.

"Well like it or not, he is the leader and a great beyblader too," Kenny said calmly. He walked into the room, and handed me a beyblade. "I re-designed Dranzer while you were sleeping. It is lighter to accomadate his attacks better, and has the new MG COre we just got from Max's mom today." I could feel the difference in weight.

"Thanks" was all i said.

"So this is twice now that you just show up with a badly damaged beyblade. What on earth have you gotten yourself into Kai?" Kenny asked.

"It's obvious he's working for them." Hilary said spitting the word out. I managed to ge tmyself upright and stay that way swaying slightly.

"When the time is right." I said, then balanced myself on the wall.

"See hes working for them! If he really was who you thought he was, he would have told you!" Hilary exclaimed.

"Dont talk about what you dont know." I said

"Kai's right Hilary." Kenny responded, defending me.

"Let's go, i've had enough of pig headed boy and their bite beast thingies." Hillary stormed out of the room and Kenny hurried after her after he said bye. The nurse came in with some pieces of paper.



"The kids down in the childrens ward made these for you." She said, and watched me looking at them. They were drawings, of me, of dranzer, of us beybattling, all badly drawn but they had put their hearts into it. I put them on the table beside my bed.

"Can you take me to a place where i can beyblade?" I asked. She started to protest. "Please?" I added and she agreed. Kai charm works yet again. The training area was on the roof, a small beydish in the center. The nurse hurried back to her work, and i just stood there for a second, looking at the whole city. It was snowing, and cold, but i didnt care. The wind blew past me, but i hardly noticed it, transfixed by being at a beydish again. I clumsily loaded Dranzer on to the launcher and pulled the rip cord. The outcome was awful, but at least it was spinning. I watched Dranzer move perfectly around the dish, then when i tried a sharp turn, he came out and landed at my feet. I removed the MG Core and put it in my pocket, then launched Dranzer again. This time the result was slightly better. My run in with the Cyber Bit Beast must have fried all my muscles. Dranzer weaved back and forth, and i just stared at him. It was so good to have him back, to know no one else was treating him badly. He was the only one i wholly trusted, besides myself. There were some sparks coming from the blade and i thought it was ust the friction then a small circle of fire ignited around the blade. I could feel more control coming back to my legs and an energy rush.

"Dranzer!" I called. The red phoenix appeared but seemed injured. It will be alright I thought, we'll heal and pay back the people who did this to us. It then dawned on me that Dranzer had taken my injury to himelf. Some feathers floated down to me, and I moved to grab it, but it ignited, and i watched Dranzer burn. What did i do? I thought to myself, I had gone through all of it to lose Dranzer again. Had I really sacrificed my bit beast for myself? I shook my head, no I hadnt, Dranzer had chosen to heal me. I looked at the beyblade covered in ashes. But i wasnt shocked, wasnt sad, wasnt hurting anymore. A slight glow penetrating the gloom. I had a feeling that everything might turn out ok, for Dranzer had returned in full form, but it lingered, nagging at me, what i had done.
