Chapter 3- Kai's Mystery

"Erm Ray? Shouldn't we go and find Kai?" said Kenny tentatively. Since kai was gone for the moment authority turned to Ray as he was the second oldest and could be relied upon.

Ray sighed "I don't know maybe he just needs time on his own" he leant against the wall fiddling with the red scarf around his waist.

"I've got so many questions to ask him!" said Tyson, getting frustrated "my heads going to burst because of all the questions crowded inside!!"

"I'd have thought there'd be plenty of space in there" said Max jokingly, trying to lighten the mood

"Haha" said Tyson sarcastically, "I wish Kai would open up to us a bit more. We're like his best friends and we've been through so much together. I wish he would tell us about those crazy guys that were chasing after us and why they wanted to get at us."

"Correction Tyson" said Ray, "why they were getting at Kai".

"Huh?" "Think about it, they didn't come after us did they? When Kai went off on his own they didn't aim for where most of us were, they ignored the better deal and went for Kai when they could have got the other 4 of us. They shot at Kai."

"But why?" said Max.

"How am I supposed to know? Kenny's the smart one around here." Said Ray. They all turned to look at Kenny.

"Eeep" said Kenny "guys I only know computer stuff you know? I'm not a secret agent or a detective"

"Dizzi must have got something" said Ray.

"Err actually, Dizzi wasn't switched on." he sweatdropped.

"Argh forget it" said Tyson "we'll just have to worm it out of him somehow. He has to come back here."

"What if he faints?" max suddenly voiced "He could be out there with no one around to help him, maybe those bad guys came back for him!" he trembled with fear for his friend "we can't just stay here!"

There was a slight banging on the ceiling. Ray's sharp ears were instantly on alert; he motioned them to be silent.

"Eep! It's that biker guy! The one who gave me evil looks!" cried Max, clinging onto Tyson looking fearfully up at the ceiling "he's come to get me!" "How can he have given you evil looks?" said Kenny "they all had masks on".

There was a scraping noise and Kai dropped onto the windowsill from above. "Kai!" yelled Tyson Kai stepped inside the room. "I'm going to bed". With that he walked over to his bed that had little phoenixes engraved on the wood and a giant sun on the headboard. He climbed in, drew the covers close around him and avoided their gaze.

Tyson and Rei glanced at each other and shrugged. "Bags I the bathroom first!" yelled Tyson and grabbing his pajamas sprinted to the bathroom. "Oh no!" said Max "please don't drown my rubber ducky! I'll eat all your candy if you do!" Max's rubber ducky had been with him since he was two years old and had supposedly 'drowned' 64 times since Max had made friends with Tyson! Rei just rolled his eyes and nodded his head in Kai's direction to indicate that he was sleeping and would spare them no mercy if they woke him up.

*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kai's POV (point of view)

My head aches, my lower left ribs hurt like hell, it doesn't have
anything to do with the bullet wound, that actually doesn't hurt as much
just a throb of pain. I can't be getting ill, I haven't been ill for
years, who'll lead the team if I'm ill. Surely not Tyson.
But even Max and ray suspected something. I wonder why for once in my
life I could be happy for once and be like them.

'Don't be silly' I heard a voice in y head that sounded like Voltaire
"emotions show your weaknesses and the enemy will defeat you easily", I
caught my breath as I saw Voltaire's face leering down at me, cruel and
hard. I shook my head mentally and he disappeared.

Its all because of him I thought, Voltaire and his Biovault freaks,
they've built years of walls around me to isolate me from everyone.

I can't be like a normal teenager.

I can't even make any friends!
My aim is to protect the team from the enemy, argh, I'm thinking like
Ozuma and his 'mission'.
No, I'm going to get at those Bikers, its been ages since I had a fight
against guys like them. Biovault had better watch out, 'cos I'm ready to
fly.

I peeked out behind my long eyelashes at the Bladebreakers who were now
crowded round some computer game of Kenny's. They must think I'm
deliberately being an outsider, if only they knew how wrong they were,
but they won't, and it'll be too late by then, they'll never get to see
the real me.

A/N that line reminds of some textiles homework I was * supposed * to
have done.
Half of my teachers have got it in for me, my really batty chemistry
teacher called Dr Battye yelled at me cos I was fixing my safety goggles
"Leave them alone! Leave them alone!" chanted that 6 times! "Do you
get it! Leave them alone!" And I just said "yeah" really sarcastically,
it was actually quite fun winding him up and watching him explode. _
I'm plotting my revenge! Perhaps some vinegar and baking soda and his car
bonnet...............
