Chapter 4: Waking in surprisement

................................................................

Kai felt that the darkness didn't wanna let him go, no matter how hard he would struggle. But after some time, he welcomed the darkness, it would take away the flaming pain and it would give him a feeling of safety. Soon, he didn't even care about breathing anymore, all he wanted to do was lay there with his eyes closed and zone out everything that happened around him, he wanted to rest, to sleep forever, he wanted to take away his pain and stop living in disaster and terror, he just wanted to end everything here.

Suddenly, Kai felt how he was pulled back out of the darkness with one cold splash in his face. Kai slowly opened his burning eyes that were only searching for rest to see who was responsible of getting him out of his sleep. Immediately, the pain returned and his chest started to burn again. Kai felt as if there were ashes in his throat that kept him from breathing. If Kai would inhale air now, it would hurt him even more. Kai tried to stand up but he was far too weak to even move his fingers properly. He looked up to the boy that stood next to him with an empty glass in his hands. His raven, black hair was swaying softly in a cold breeze and he had an angry expression on his face. His eyes were shooting daggers at Kai but Kai just looked back into his eyes without moving one inch. He couldn't understand why Rai was so mad at him, he wanted to ask but his pride kept him from doing anything.

Kai felt how someone pushed him up in a sitting position and when he looked over his shoulder, he saw some blond hair and big, teary eyes. Max laid kai against a rock and sat himself in front of him. He wasn't angry, he only looked...sad. The blood hair fell in Max face while he stared at the ground. A few tears hit the soft bottom and quickly crawled into the sand.

At the other end from the cave stood Tyson. His arms were next to his body and his hands were relaxed. He didn't move one bit, besides the trembling of his legs. His eyes were big and surprised and he didn't even blink one time. He looked hurt for some reason as if someone broke his heart just recently.

Kai blinked a little, not knowing what was wrong while he was holding his chest in pain. the burning feeling wouldn't go away and it hurt a lot when he breathed but nothing was more painful as the silence in the cave. That silence was piercing kai's ears and he closed his eyes with a sigh, wanting to escape in the darkness again, still not understanding one bit of what was going on.

Suddenly, someone laid a hand on his chest which made Kai flinch in pain. Max was looking at the damage and was shocked when he saw Kai flinch for just one, soft touch. Kai knew they had found out and he sighed again while he tried to look Max in his eyes to see what he was feeling now, but Kai was only looking from kai's chest to the ground and eventually at Rai who was still very angry.

Kai saw his scarf was full of blood, his blood and he felt how his arms were burning. The silence would never end and Kai had enough of it. He pushed himself up against the wall, causing him to breath heavily. He pierced his look trough every bladebreaker's soul to find out what was going on but no one would even speak. Suddenly, he heard someone enter the cave and he jerked his head the other way, causing another pain to enter his chest that made him fall on his knees again.

Kenny, who had just entered the cave with some leafs and berries, rushed over to Kai with surprisement and threw the stuff at Rai who caught it easily, never changing the look on his face. "Kai, you're awake" said Kenny in a happy voice and kai was glad someone finally broke the silence. Kai wanted to say something but he couldn't, it was already hard enough to just breath so he just gave up on talking. Kenny, who understood everything took the leafs from Rai and gave one to Kai. "This is something that will clear your throat" said kenny carefully. Kai, who wanted to try everything to take the pain away, took the leaf and put it in his mouth. It tasted terrible but Kai kept on chewing.

Kenny sat himself next to Max and laid a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him. Max just smiled and watched how kai ate the leaf with no expression on his face. Kai refused to sit down and he crawled up against the wall again. His leg was trembling like mad and his hands were sweating. The fever still hadn't gone away and his leg was hurting even worse than it normally did. It almost felt as if someone was pulling little sharp wires trough his leg over and over again, 1000 at the time, 10 times a second. Rai sighed and finally moved in a different pose. He walked over to kai and pushed him down. Kai, who couldn't resist much was forced to sit down when rai pushed even harder which made his leg really unstable. With a little yelp, he dropped himself to the ground and Rai sat next to him, laying a hand on his shoulder to keep him from standing up.

Tyson finally moved when he heard Kai yelp and he walked over to the group as well. While he sat himself down, he noticed that kai's leg looked different from the other one, it looked really suspicious like that, and it was trembling like mad. Tyson looked at rai who understood him immediately. Without even preparing Kai, he lifted up Kai's pants a little to see the red bandage around his leg. Kai, who felt how Rai bumped with his hand onto the wound by accident felt how tears were forming into his crimson eyes.

Everyone was shocked at the sight of the red bandages and they all looked at Kai, who was gritting his teeth in pain now. Rai removed the bandages to put on new ones and to avoid Kai from suffering to much pain, he started a conversation. "Why didn't you tell us anything kai" said Rai with a trembling voice. Kai wouldn't answer, his mouth felt to dry and his tongue wouldn't allow him to either. "We were really worried about you" said a teary-eyed Max while he was looking how Rai gently took away the bandages. "Don't you trust us, even now?" said Tyson with a pale face. "You shouldn't be such an emotionless bastard" yelled kenny suddenly "We have feelings to you know!" Kai was surprised at his outburst. "Imagine what we felt when we saw how you hit the ground" added Rai while he pulled away the last bandages harder then he wanted to. Kai screamed when he felt how his flesh was torn apart once more. The wound just wouldn't close without the bandages growing in it. Tears were streaming down kai's face. It hurt so much, he just couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Everyone was blaming him, hurting him, it was too much for Kai to bear. He buried his face into his hands while his warm tears were streaming down his face. Everyone was shocked at the outburst and Max walked over to kai to comfort him. Kenny had lost all the color in his face when he saw kai's wound and he quickly looked away while Kai wouldn't stop crying.

Tyson just looked at Kai in surprise. He had never thought that his leader could cry like that, that he would even care if someone yelled at him. Rai was just looking at Kai's leg in shock. He had never imagined it to be this bad. He saw how the wound started at the top of his leg and ended on the other side. He never meant to hurt him that much and wanted to apologize but he couldn't speak any words right now.

Quickly, Rai got some water out of his bag and cleaned the wound. Kai had done this before but not good enough. When the wound was totally clean, Rai put on something that couldn't grow into the wound, a special thing that he got from his old village and then, he put around the bandages. Kai felt better but he couldn't stop crying, everything had to get out now and he wanted someone to comfort him, someone dear to him. But he couldn't trust anyone and he was too ashamed to talk to anyone.

When kai felt the touch of Max's comforting hands he flinched. He believed that someone would punish him for crying and he was scared of that, more then anything else. Max was shocked at Kai's reaction and first did nothing, but eventually, he laid his arm on Kai's back and rubbed it a little to make him feel better. Kai was surprised at first but smiled a little while after that without anyone noticing it because his face was still buried in his hands.

When Kai was finally finished crying, his eyes were as red as fire and wet with the salt water. Rai was done with the bandages and went outside to wash his hands. Some blood was on the ground and Kai watched how the red liquid was trembling when someone moved. He didn't say one word. Kai felt that the fever was starting to go away and was relieved that the pain had eased a little. Tomorrow, they would leave, and they would finally arrive in Russia, it wasn't dark anymore and Kai would finally be able to go to a doctor. Everyone had said goodnight to everyone and Kai, who was still feeling a bit uneasy with the new feelings, was the first one to fall asleep while the rest was looking at him with worried eyes...

............................................................................ .........................................

The next morning, everyone woke up early. Rai took the hard job to wake up Tyson and when finally his tricks worked everyone got ready to leave. Rai and Tyson were supporting Kai and at first, everyone was feeling a bit uneasy but eventually they would even laugh at each other.

The road wasn't as difficult as it used to be anymore. Kai almost felt as if he was walking on feathers even though the stinging pain wouldn't leave and even though he did start to trust his team a little, he still didn't tell them about his arms and about the big piece of glass that still wasn't removed.

Breathing was still hard but the leafs that Kenny had given to Kai actually worked. But Kai's ribs were still not very comforting to him and he felt that he was weakening fast.

But eventually, they reached a large city. There were nice people everywhere and the buildings looked very comfy. Suddenly, kai's eye caught the eye of another boy.

The other boy stared at Kai for a moment and suddenly he screamed: "Kai" not able to say anything else.

---flashback---

Kai was sitting in his room, crying. He was bruised all over his body and his hands were trembling. Blood was dripping from his cheek but he wasn't crying, he was only trembling from rage. Boris had to stop this, he had to stop torture the children like this just like Voltaire.

Suddenly, someone else was thrown into the room. The shivering body quickly stood up and pulled up his finger to the guards. He spit one last time at them before they closed the door with a key.

Kai was slightly interested in this boy but was too afraid from anyone right now to even move. He saw how the boy explored the room and suddenly, their eyes met. Kai flinched and held in his breath while the boy walked up to him. He sat next to him on the bed and looked at his wounds. This boy looked a little bit older then Kai and a lot more resistant. Without saying one word, he laid his arm around kai's shoulders and comforted him with soft words and smooth touches.

---end flashback---

"Tala" whispered Kai, "you're here."
