Chapter 2: Five Months
The remainder of the day went by happily for the teens having tea until the sun
finally set down and masked the horizon with brilliant shades of red,
yellow and indigo. Their happy conversations and laughter was disturbed
by a sudden knock on the door.
'Come in! The door's open' yelled Tyson.
A small boy with short brown hair who sports eyeglasses with big lenses
peeked through the door.
'Hey Chief!' came Tyson's cheerful greet.
The others turned round their heads to greet the newcomer.
'Hey guys, how had you all been doing?' came the brunette's reply. Kenny
then fully opened the door and Mr. Dickenson came in view. Mr.
Dickenson waved at them and proceeded to enter the room shortly
followed by Kenny who quietly closed the door.
'Hey chief you could sit here,' Ray offered.
'Thanks,' Kenny replied and then proceeded to sit beside him after he had set
up Dizzi on the coffee table where the others were having their tea.
'What happened to you? You have a nasty looking lump.' Kenny asked
Ray.
'Huh? Wha- hahaha, it's a long story Chief,' replied Ray.
'Oh, okay.'
'Air at last,' Dizzi piped.
'Dizzi can you connect with the others now? We'll be starting soon.' Kenny
asked the trapped beast.
'Don't you trust me? Of course I can,' Dizzi boasted. 'Here goes.....now
connecting....okay....got it!'
Two windows popped open and the Majestics and Psychic team came in view.
'HI GUYS!!!,' Enrique blurted and put his face closer to the screen on the
other side.
'Hey get your face off of there! We want to see them too so move along.'
Oliver whined while pulling Enrique from being glued to the screen.
Tyson and the others were laughing even Kane and his team mates were
laughing from the ordeal of the blue bloods.
'We're happy to see you again guys!' Kane greeted them. Then Salima
popped like a mushroom.
'Oooooh where's Kai!? Where's Kai!? I want to see him!' Salima piped.
'Yes, I don't see him with you around the table,' Mr. Dickenson asked 'Where
is he?'
'Yeah! Yeah! Where is he?' Salima excitedly asked, earning her teammates to
sweat drop.
'He's sleeping,' Tala answered and pointed towards Kai's direction.
'Should we wake him up?' Max asked.
'No need to, we won't take long and you could tell him about it afterwards,'
Mr. Dickenson smiled, 'By the way, Tala when will the hospital release
you two?'
'The doctor said that we're healing fast and we could go home by tomorrow.'
Tala said evenly but his voice came a bit faltered when he said the word
home. The other teens felt sorry for him.
'Good to hear,' Mr. Dickenson chuckled, 'And one more thing Tala,' the said
boy looked up at him. 'You don't need to go to the Abby anymore, you
could either stay with me or with Kai since you two get along very well
and are like brothers, not to mention he already asked me if you could
stay with him since he doesn't have any other family.'
Everybody's face brightened up.
'So Mr. D where will we have our vacation?' Tyson piped.
'Yes, yes, you'll have your vacation at.....'
'At.....,' Tyson and Michael trailed.
'At Boracay Beach,' Mr. Dickenson replied with a smile.
'At the what?' Johnny questioned confusion written all over his face.
'Where's that?' Mariah asked.
'It's in the Philippines,' Mr. Dickenson answered with another smile.
'There!? Why THERE!?' Michael whined. 'Can't we have the vacation in
Hawaii or Alaska or even in DISNEY LAND!?'
'How did you know about the Philippines Michael?' Max asked him 'Have
you already visited there? 'Cause it seems you're the only one who
knows about it here, well except Mr. D of course.'
'Well it happened one fateful day.....' Michael was getting dramatic - -;;.
Everyone listened intently as to why Michael hates the country, even Mr.
Dickenson took a seat to listen to his reasons. And Kai, he's still
sleeping =P.
'It was 10 years ago on the morning of the 24th of December my family and I
traveled to the Philippines to spend our Christmas. (Michael is 15 years
old so back then he was only five) We arrived there on the evening of
the 25th. I was amazed of what greeted me, lights, flashing and dancing
everywhere. Christmas carols and greetings playing their tunes. Giant
Christmas trees in every corner. We went straight to a high class hotel
and ate dinner, and then we went to a store and bought lots of
presents. Boy, that was the best Christmas I ever had—'
'Yeah, yeah big deal about the holiday thingy get to the point already,' Tyson
said impatiently.
'Shuddap, I'm getting on with it, my parents bought me the most delicious and
tasty sweet ever. I was happily eating it and then, and then— someone
knock it out of my hand and it fell in the dirt....I cried my heart out,
since then I hated that country so much.' Michael concluded and he was
tearing like a waterfall.
All of them sweatdropped.
'That's it?' Emily said coldly and evenly.
'What a dweeb,' Hilary commented.
'That's a really lame story Michael,' Johnny commented.
'Why didn't you asked your parents to get you another one?' Jimmy asked.
'Wha—,' Michael thought for a moment and then scratched his head, 'I
completely forgot about that.'
Everybody fell anime style.
'Now let's hear it from Mr. D, what's it like there?' Ray started changing the
subject from Michael's 'very' reasonable story.
'All I can say is that it's a very beautiful country, lot's of places to visit.' The
old man described, 'The trip's worth it kids, will you take it or leave it?'
The teens gathered round and made a short meeting, after a while Tyson faced
Mr. Dickenson and said the whole groups decision.
'We'll take it Mr. D,' Tyson grinned and the others nodded in agreement.
'Good to hear then kids we'll see each other at the airport at 8am on October
29th,' Mr. Dickenson beamed, 'Oh would you look at the time, it's
already late. Tala and Kai needs their rest now, it's time to go.'
Everyone gathered their things and prepared to leave. The Majestics and the
Psychics signed off and bid farewell. One by one they filed out the room
and bid farewell to Tala and the sleeping Kai even though he's sleeping.
First one who left was Mr. Dickenson and then the White Tigers and last
but not the least, the Bladebreakers.
'Bye Tala! Bye Kai! See you tomorrow!' Tyson called out. Tala waved at
them, tidied up a bit and went to his bed dragging his dextrose with him.
By 7pm the room was quiet once more.
At 7:15 a nurse came to their room and delivered their supper. A very
balanced meal composed of a some rice, vegetable, a little meat, grapes,
and milk along with their daily vitamins and medicine. Tala thanked the
nurse and continued along her way to other rooms. Tala waited a bit for
Kai if he wakes up but no success he's still sleeping so he decided to eat
ahead and watched the television for news while eating. Kai woke up
with a start.
'Had a good sleep?' Tala greeted the phoenix. 'Your food's just over there,
you should eat it before it gets cold.'
The slate-haired teen ignored the redhead. He brought his legs up to his chest
and used them as a stand for his head.
'Hey are you alright?' The red head asked the phoenix.
(Kai's POV(
What happened? Why did I lose consciousness? What's wrong with me?
—Normal POV—
'Are you alright? Kai?' Tala asked with a worried expression. 'Hey Kai?' He
continued. When he still got no answer he stopped his meal and went
over to his friend's bedside. 'Kai? Is something wrong? Hey!' Tala was
now shaking Kai trying his best to get an answer. Dranzer's master was
in a trance. 'KAI!' He shouted to his friend. The slate-haired teen
snapped back to reality.
'What?' Kai said weakly.
'I said is there something wrong?' The redhead repeated.
'Wha—yeah, I'm fine,' Kai answered back.
'Are you sure? You don't look so good.'
Kai just nodded.
'Well you better be or they won't release us here, you should eat your dinner
before it gets cold.'
'Yeah, yeah, you're starting to sound like that nurse,' Kai mocked the redhead
to change the subject though his mind is still lingering at what had
happened to him.
'I may sound one but I won't become one as far as I'm concerned, they're
girly stuff.'
'Then does that give you authority to boss me around? To tell me what to do
just like now?' Kai teased Wolborg's master.
'No it's because I'm OLDER than you.' Tala answered sarcastically. 'And
besides you're shorter than me.'
'You're only older than me by 6 hours, 4 minutes and 45 seconds and as for
the height difference you're only taller by a centimeter.' Kai answered
mimicking Tala's tone.
'Still, I'm OLDER and I'm TALLER, now keep quiet and eat up.'
'Yes your MAJESTY,' Kai said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.
Tala looked at him sideways and narrowed his eyes. Kai started eating his
food and Tala focused on watching t.v. again.
'So where will you stay after we get out of here?' Kai broke the silence.
'Mr. Dickenson already asked me about that and I guess I'll stay at your place
to keep you company, I know that the place your old man lives in is
quite big and only you, 3 maids and your butler lives there minus your
old man. And because you're a chicken.'
'Chicken? I'm no chicken; maybe you're the chicken. Your hair is proof
enough.'
'Don't mess with my hair.' Tala pouted turning his attention to Kai.
Kai just grinned and threw a pillow at Tala's direction which landed square to
his face. Tala's not one who would let somebody beat him and threw one
of his pillows to his friend who dodged it easily.
'Hey! No fair!' Tala complained.
'You'll just have to deal with it!' Kai grinned and threw more pillows.
The redhead threw more pillows too to have revenge, but every single one he
threw was just used at him. Since they were little Kai always won their
'throw-war' and all that Kai throws at him lands flat on his face. But
little did they know someone was watching them from outside.
—Outside Kai & Tala's Ward—
Their nurse, Alyona, was watching their pillow war with a small smile dancing
on her face. Nurse Alyona is a very gentle and kind lady. She's very
industrious and thoughtful. She's also very pretty. She had this mocha
colored long hair that's always tied in a neat ponytail. Her eyes are
beautiful that's tinted with light aquamarine. For the whole month Kai
and Tala were in the hospital, she was the one who's assigned to take
care of them and do regular check-ups. She's been like a big sister to the
two teens. A young doctor, about Nurse Alyona's age, with short spiky
jet-black hair with eyeglasses came up behind her and peered through the
small opening of the door to watch the two teens.
'Doctor,' Nurse Alyona mumbled, 'they look so happy...I—'
'Yes, I know,' Doctor Gonzales sobered.
'I-I wish that it wouldn't happen, they're already learning to become normal
kids again.' Nurse Alyona sadly said 'I don't want to see or even hear
that—that Kai would die. How would his friends take it? How would his
best friend take it? How would I take it? How would his family take it?
How would he take it?' Nurse Alyona burst into tears but keeping it at
low whispers so that the two wouldn't hear it.
'Nurse Alyona, I know how you feel, I'm very fond of those kids. But— we
can't change fate.' The young doctor replied, placing a hand on Nurse
Alyona's shoulder for comfort.
'But it's not fair! It's not his time yet! He's too young.'
—Back to Kai & Tala's Ward—
By now the two teens were catching their breath.
'You know,' Tala started.
'What?' Kai asked.
'It'd be more fun if Yuri was here.' Tala explained. 'Back then when we were
still little kids, I remember that your twin usually bosses us around and I
kinda miss that.'
'Yeah, I think we're catching up with the time lost for our childhood because
we're sure acting like ones.'
'Yeah. By the way have you gotten any word from her?' Tala asked.
'No, not one since 9 years ago when we were kidnapped by my grandfather's
henchmen.' Kai answered. 'Have you forgotten?'
'Oh, I forgot about that.' Tala slumped on his bed. 'Do you think she has
forgotten about us?'
'Maybe, maybe not.' Kai simply said. 'How come you remembered her after
all those years?'
'I don't know. It just sort of came to my mind.' Tala shrugged.
'Oh I get it.' Kai laughed.
'Get what?'
'You like her.' Kai grinned.
'What? Are you for real? She's just like a little sister to me just like you're a
brother to me.'
'Whatever.'
Then there was a knock on the door and in came Nurse Alyona. Her eyes were
a little red and swollen but a smile was still present on her face just like
she used to.
'Okay boys tidy up a bit and I'll be checking you up.' She said cheerfully.
'Hey have you been crying sister Alyona?' Asked a worried Tala.
'Yeah, your eyes are red.' Kai agreed.
'Wha- No, something just got caught in my eye.' The young nurse lied. 'Now
behave while I check you up..................Good, good...I'll remove the
dextrose now...okay, that should do it.'
After a while, Nurse Alyona left the room and turned of the lights while
saying 'Have a good night's rest now. Tomorrow is the big day.' Tala
immediately fell asleep as soon as he said good night to Kai, however
Kai still lies awake to ponder with his thoughts.
—Kai's POV—
What's wrong with me?.....That must be the second time I asked that...but I
can't help asking. Why did it happen? Is there anything wrong with
me?....So many questions, yet there's no answer. I should ask Doctor
Gonzales...yeah...I think that's the right thing to do...for now...
Yuri...my sister...where are you?............
—Normal POV—
Kai slowly drifted to unconsciousness and into the world of dreams. Complete
silence has now settled into the darkened room where only the soft sound
of breathing could be heard.
Night passed on and daybreak comes in, spreading it's glorious light to
everything in sight.
5:00 am
Kai stirred from his sleep and rubbed his eyes as to
help them adjust from the light. On the other hand, Tala was now wide
awake and was busying himself in finding his toothbrush and towel,
along with his change of clothes. Once Tala found all his things, he
scurried to the bathroom. Kai gathered his toothbrush and towel along
with his change of clothes too, and proceeded to wait until Tala finishes.
Tala emerged from the bathroom after about an hour sporting a long
sleeved white colored sweatshirt topped with a gray high collared
sleeveless jacket and khaki colored cargo pants.
'About time you got out,' Kai greeted, 'what's taking you so long to take a
bath? Doing girly stuff?'
'Hhmp, for your information I was setting my hair.'
'Yeah, right.' Kai said as he stepped into the bathroom.
After Kai stepped into the bathroom, Tala begun rummaging around their
room and gathered his things and clothes into his bag, piling them on top
of one another orderly. Once he's done he flopped onto his bed and
opened the television while waiting for Kai to finish and Tyson and the
others to arrive. Kai already finished packing his things yesterday
morning before the others arrived. Kai walked out of the bathroom after
about 20 minutes dressed in black turtle neck sweatshirt topped with a
loose but not very loose blue t-shirt printed with the JAG logo in small
bold white fonts on the front with a matching blue cargo pants that's a
little darker than his shirt.
'Well that was kinda quick.' Tala commented just as Kai emerged from the
bathroom and straight to his bed where his bag was waiting.
'Because I only did what is necessary.' Kai smirked. Tala pouted but just
ignored Kai's comment and continued to watch the morning news.
By quarter to 7, the nurse who's always bringing their food came by and
greeted them good morning then served them their breakfast. The two
teens returned the nurse's greeting with a cheerful good morning too and
thanked her for everything. The nurse smiled at them warmly and
congratulated the two for they were to be released finally from the
hospital for being cooped in there for more than a month. They finished
their breakfast quickly and took a stroll around the hospital to bid
farewell and thanks to all the people that helped them recover from their
injury. They've already thanked and bid farewell to almost everyone
they knew in the hospital but Doctor Gonzales was still nowhere in sight,
they've already asked Nurse Alyona of his whereabouts but she said that
she didn't know where he was either. Tala glanced at his wristwatch.
'The others would be here any minute now,' Tala explained 'should we return
to the ward now?' Kai nodded.
'Go on ahead, I'll just look around some more.'
'Just don't take too long.' said Tala as he turned on his heels and marched to
their ward to wait for the others to arrive. Kai started walking about the
hospital corridors again. He turned left, to head for the 'Dolphin
Fountain' located at the indoor garden of the hospital. Just as he was
heading there he caught a glimpse of a figure coming out of the
Worldwide Telecommunications section of the hospital located at the
lowest level. Curious, Kai leaned nearer to the railing.
'ÐокÑоÑ,' Kai said questioningly. (Doctor)
Just as Kai said doctor, the figure stepped into the light and turned up to look
at him as if he heard Kai call him. Surprise was etched on his feature, but
just then, he smiled and signaled him to go to the Dolphin Fountain.
When Kai finally got to the fountain, he saw Doctor Gonzales feeding
some carps in the fountain.
'Congratulations Kai, you and Tala will finally be able to go home now,' the
young doctor started. 'I was about to call for you.'
'ÐокÑÐ¾Ñ I was wondering if I could ask you something.'
Doctor Gonzales stopped feeding the carps. He stood up and straightened his
pants and coat. He looked straightly at Kai just as looked up at him
equally.
'So, you finally felt it?' He asked, seriousness dripped from his words
completely ignoring Kai's initial question.
Confusion was present in Kai's face. 'Feel what?'
'Sudden lose of consciousness, fever, weight loss, fatigue, bone pain, anemia,
nose bleed, enlarged spleens or even vomiting blood?
'What are you talking about?' Kai asked a bit surprised. 'I only suffered lose
of consciousness.'
'You will, eventually.' Doctor Gonzales explained, the seriousness never
fading from him, who usually always wear a smile on his face.
'...What do you mean?' Kai said, his temper rising.
—Back at Kai and Tala's ward—
Tyson and the others arrived shortly after Tala entered the room. They were
extremely happy to pick them up, especially the Blade Breakers.
'Hey, where's Kai?' Hilary asked, looking around after hey had loaded all
Kai's and Tala's things and was sent downstairs.
'He's 'touring' around the hospital, but he should have been here already.'
Tala explained.
'Well, we must hurry up so that we can get out of here and Mr. Dickenson's
waiting downstairs.' Kenny stated matter-of-factly.
'Well in that case, I'll go look for him then.' Tala decided and walked out the
door.
—Tala's POV—
'Now where should I start?'...(he passed the directory board and saw the word Dolphin Fountain)...Dolphin Fountain 3F...he's always visiting that place...I'll start there...
—Normal POV—
Tala walked until he reached the 3rd floor he saw two figures standing in front
of the fountain. When he got nearer he recognized them immediately—
Kai and Doctor Gonzales. He was about to call on them but changed his
mind. Because it looks like they're talking about something serious.
Curious of what they're talking about he sneaked and hid behind a pillar
covered with rose bushes.
'I'll get to the point,' Doctor Gonzales said 'you're suffering from a serious
and rare kind of leukemia, Kai. You only have five more months to live.'
'What? That's not possible I've been raised and trained like a machine in that
stupid Abbey! How can that happen!?' Kai shouted his temper flaring he
didn't like the idea that he was going to die. He loves his life now,
together with his friends that are always around for him.
'I know. I know that it's hard to accept the truth,' Doctor Gonzales explained
his voice tainted with pity. 'But you have to understand, you're illness
doesn't have any cure yet.' He looked at Kai.
Kai's face was covered by his slate-colored hair. He was looking down at the
ground.
'Many had suffered from the same illness as yours. There's no definite source
as to where the disease comes from or its cause. Many scientists have
tried to unlock its secret but to no avail, they all failed to do so...'
to be continued....

'Dizzi can you connect with the others now? We'll be starting soon.' Kenny

'Don't you trust me? Of course I can,' Dizzi boasted. 'Here goes.....now

Two windows popped open and the Majestics and Psychic team came in view.
'HI GUYS!!!,' Enrique blurted and put his face closer to the screen on the

'Hey get your face off of there! We want to see them too so move along.'
Oliver whined while pulling Enrique from being glued to the screen.

'Yeah, yeah, you're starting to sound like that nurse,' Kai mocked the redhead
to change the subject though his mind is still lingering at what had
happened to him.
'I may sound one but I won't become one as far as I'm concerned, they're
girly stuff.'
'Then does that give you authority to boss me around? To tell me what to do
just like now?' Kai teased Wolborg's master.
'No it's because I'm OLDER than you.' Tala answered sarcastically. 'And
besides you're shorter than me.'
'You're only older than me by 6 hours, 4 minutes and 45 seconds and as for
the height difference you're only taller by a centimeter.' Kai answered
mimicking Tala's tone.
'Still, I'm OLDER and I'm TALLER, now keep quiet and eat up.'
'Yes your MAJESTY,' Kai said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.
Tala looked at him sideways and narrowed his eyes. Kai started eating his
food and Tala focused on watching t.v. again.
'So where will you stay after we get out of here?' Kai broke the silence.
'Mr. Dickenson already asked me about that and I guess I'll stay at your place
to keep you company, I know that the place your old man lives in is
quite big and only you, 3 maids and your butler lives there minus your
old man. And because you're a chicken.'
'Chicken? I'm no chicken; maybe you're the chicken. Your hair is proof
enough.'
'Don't mess with my hair.' Tala pouted turning his attention to Kai.
Kai just grinned and threw a pillow at Tala's direction which landed square to
his face. Tala's not one who would let somebody beat him and threw one
of his pillows to his friend who dodged it easily.
'Hey! No fair!' Tala complained.
'You'll just have to deal with it!' Kai grinned and threw more pillows.
The redhead threw more pillows too to have revenge, but every single one he
threw was just used at him. Since they were little Kai always won their
'throw-war' and all that Kai throws at him lands flat on his face. But
little did they know someone was watching them from outside.
—Outside Kai & Tala's Ward—
Their nurse, Alyona, was watching their pillow war with a small smile dancing
on her face. Nurse Alyona is a very gentle and kind lady. She's very
industrious and thoughtful. She's also very pretty. She had this mocha
colored long hair that's always tied in a neat ponytail. Her eyes are
beautiful that's tinted with light aquamarine. For the whole month Kai
and Tala were in the hospital, she was the one who's assigned to take
care of them and do regular check-ups. She's been like a big sister to the
two teens. A young doctor, about Nurse Alyona's age, with short spiky
jet-black hair with eyeglasses came up behind her and peered through the
small opening of the door to watch the two teens.
'Doctor,' Nurse Alyona mumbled, 'they look so happy...I—'
'Yes, I know,' Doctor Gonzales sobered.
'I-I wish that it wouldn't happen, they're already learning to become normal
kids again.' Nurse Alyona sadly said 'I don't want to see or even hear
that—that Kai would die. How would his friends take it? How would his
best friend take it? How would I take it? How would his family take it?
How would he take it?' Nurse Alyona burst into tears but keeping it at
low whispers so that the two wouldn't hear it.
'Nurse Alyona, I know how you feel, I'm very fond of those kids. But— we
can't change fate.' The young doctor replied, placing a hand on Nurse
Alyona's shoulder for comfort.
'But it's not fair! It's not his time yet! He's too young.'
—Back to Kai & Tala's Ward—
By now the two teens were catching their breath.
'You know,' Tala started.
'What?' Kai asked.
'It'd be more fun if Yuri was here.' Tala explained. 'Back then when we were
still little kids, I remember that your twin usually bosses us around and I
kinda miss that.'
'Yeah, I think we're catching up with the time lost for our childhood because
we're sure acting like ones.'
'Yeah. By the way have you gotten any word from her?' Tala asked.
'No, not one since 9 years ago when we were kidnapped by my grandfather's
henchmen.' Kai answered. 'Have you forgotten?'
'Oh, I forgot about that.' Tala slumped on his bed. 'Do you think she has
forgotten about us?'
'Maybe, maybe not.' Kai simply said. 'How come you remembered her after
all those years?'
'I don't know. It just sort of came to my mind.' Tala shrugged.
'Oh I get it.' Kai laughed.
'Get what?'
'You like her.' Kai grinned.
'What? Are you for real? She's just like a little sister to me just like you're a
brother to me.'
'Whatever.'
Then there was a knock on the door and in came Nurse Alyona. Her eyes were
a little red and swollen but a smile was still present on her face just like
she used to.
'Okay boys tidy up a bit and I'll be checking you up.' She said cheerfully.
'Hey have you been crying sister Alyona?' Asked a worried Tala.
'Yeah, your eyes are red.' Kai agreed.
'Wha- No, something just got caught in my eye.' The young nurse lied. 'Now
behave while I check you up..................Good, good...I'll remove the
dextrose now...okay, that should do it.'
After a while, Nurse Alyona left the room and turned of the lights while
saying 'Have a good night's rest now. Tomorrow is the big day.' Tala
immediately fell asleep as soon as he said good night to Kai, however
Kai still lies awake to ponder with his thoughts.
—Kai's POV—
What's wrong with me?.....That must be the second time I asked that...but I
can't help asking. Why did it happen? Is there anything wrong with
me?....So many questions, yet there's no answer. I should ask Doctor
Gonzales...yeah...I think that's the right thing to do...for now...
Yuri...my sister...where are you?............
—Normal POV—
Kai slowly drifted to unconsciousness and into the world of dreams. Complete
silence has now settled into the darkened room where only the soft sound
of breathing could be heard.
Night passed on and daybreak comes in, spreading it's glorious light to
everything in sight.
5:00 am
Kai stirred from his sleep and rubbed his eyes as to
help them adjust from the light. On the other hand, Tala was now wide
awake and was busying himself in finding his toothbrush and towel,
along with his change of clothes. Once Tala found all his things, he
scurried to the bathroom. Kai gathered his toothbrush and towel along
with his change of clothes too, and proceeded to wait until Tala finishes.
Tala emerged from the bathroom after about an hour sporting a long
sleeved white colored sweatshirt topped with a gray high collared
sleeveless jacket and khaki colored cargo pants.
'About time you got out,' Kai greeted, 'what's taking you so long to take a
bath? Doing girly stuff?'
'Hhmp, for your information I was setting my hair.'
'Yeah, right.' Kai said as he stepped into the bathroom.
After Kai stepped into the bathroom, Tala begun rummaging around their
room and gathered his things and clothes into his bag, piling them on top
of one another orderly. Once he's done he flopped onto his bed and
opened the television while waiting for Kai to finish and Tyson and the
others to arrive. Kai already finished packing his things yesterday
morning before the others arrived. Kai walked out of the bathroom after
about 20 minutes dressed in black turtle neck sweatshirt topped with a
loose but not very loose blue t-shirt printed with the JAG logo in small
bold white fonts on the front with a matching blue cargo pants that's a
little darker than his shirt.
'Well that was kinda quick.' Tala commented just as Kai emerged from the
bathroom and straight to his bed where his bag was waiting.
'Because I only did what is necessary.' Kai smirked. Tala pouted but just
ignored Kai's comment and continued to watch the morning news.
By quarter to 7, the nurse who's always bringing their food came by and
greeted them good morning then served them their breakfast. The two
teens returned the nurse's greeting with a cheerful good morning too and
thanked her for everything. The nurse smiled at them warmly and
congratulated the two for they were to be released finally from the
hospital for being cooped in there for more than a month. They finished
their breakfast quickly and took a stroll around the hospital to bid
farewell and thanks to all the people that helped them recover from their
injury. They've already thanked and bid farewell to almost everyone
they knew in the hospital but Doctor Gonzales was still nowhere in sight,
they've already asked Nurse Alyona of his whereabouts but she said that
she didn't know where he was either. Tala glanced at his wristwatch.
'The others would be here any minute now,' Tala explained 'should we return
to the ward now?' Kai nodded.
'Go on ahead, I'll just look around some more.'
'Just don't take too long.' said Tala as he turned on his heels and marched to
their ward to wait for the others to arrive. Kai started walking about the
hospital corridors again. He turned left, to head for the 'Dolphin
Fountain' located at the indoor garden of the hospital. Just as he was
heading there he caught a glimpse of a figure coming out of the
Worldwide Telecommunications section of the hospital located at the
lowest level. Curious, Kai leaned nearer to the railing.
'ÐокÑоÑ,' Kai said questioningly. (Doctor)
Just as Kai said doctor, the figure stepped into the light and turned up to look
at him as if he heard Kai call him. Surprise was etched on his feature, but
just then, he smiled and signaled him to go to the Dolphin Fountain.
When Kai finally got to the fountain, he saw Doctor Gonzales feeding
some carps in the fountain.
'Congratulations Kai, you and Tala will finally be able to go home now,' the
young doctor started. 'I was about to call for you.'
'ÐокÑÐ¾Ñ I was wondering if I could ask you something.'
Doctor Gonzales stopped feeding the carps. He stood up and straightened his
pants and coat. He looked straightly at Kai just as looked up at him
equally.
'So, you finally felt it?' He asked, seriousness dripped from his words
completely ignoring Kai's initial question.
Confusion was present in Kai's face. 'Feel what?'
'Sudden lose of consciousness, fever, weight loss, fatigue, bone pain, anemia,
nose bleed, enlarged spleens or even vomiting blood?
'What are you talking about?' Kai asked a bit surprised. 'I only suffered lose
of consciousness.'
'You will, eventually.' Doctor Gonzales explained, the seriousness never
fading from him, who usually always wear a smile on his face.
'...What do you mean?' Kai said, his temper rising.
—Back at Kai and Tala's ward—
Tyson and the others arrived shortly after Tala entered the room. They were
extremely happy to pick them up, especially the Blade Breakers.
'Hey, where's Kai?' Hilary asked, looking around after hey had loaded all
Kai's and Tala's things and was sent downstairs.
'He's 'touring' around the hospital, but he should have been here already.'
Tala explained.
'Well, we must hurry up so that we can get out of here and Mr. Dickenson's
waiting downstairs.' Kenny stated matter-of-factly.
'Well in that case, I'll go look for him then.' Tala decided and walked out the
door.
—Tala's POV—
'Now where should I start?'...(he passed the directory board and saw the word Dolphin Fountain)...Dolphin Fountain 3F...he's always visiting that place...I'll start there...
—Normal POV—
Tala walked until he reached the 3rd floor he saw two figures standing in front
of the fountain. When he got nearer he recognized them immediately—
Kai and Doctor Gonzales. He was about to call on them but changed his
mind. Because it looks like they're talking about something serious.
Curious of what they're talking about he sneaked and hid behind a pillar
covered with rose bushes.
'I'll get to the point,' Doctor Gonzales said 'you're suffering from a serious
and rare kind of leukemia, Kai. You only have five more months to live.'
'What? That's not possible I've been raised and trained like a machine in that
stupid Abbey! How can that happen!?' Kai shouted his temper flaring he
didn't like the idea that he was going to die. He loves his life now,
together with his friends that are always around for him.
'I know. I know that it's hard to accept the truth,' Doctor Gonzales explained
his voice tainted with pity. 'But you have to understand, you're illness
doesn't have any cure yet.' He looked at Kai.
Kai's face was covered by his slate-colored hair. He was looking down at the
ground.
'Many had suffered from the same illness as yours. There's no definite source
as to where the disease comes from or its cause. Many scientists have
tried to unlock its secret but to no avail, they all failed to do so...'
