Eum...Tala really is dead ya know, i'm sorry and no, Sanin isn't Anatsaku's father, he isn't. He just had to make his point towards Kai, that's all. And about Kai, i really think he is gonna get hurt this chapter, sorry. ^^

Blader fairy Everlasting: Yes you can be the youngest ^^ and no, Sanin isn't gonna be a bad person^^

Wow people, you review too much. 'sigh' just kidding! I love you all my little chickens^^

That was it, now, on with the story

chapter 9: Struck by lightning

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

The hour has past by and Rei was getting more worried with the minut. Kai just kept glaring at him to keep him from telling anything against his team. Rei wasn't someone to break his promise so he wouldn't do it without a very good reason. But Rei promised himself to help Kai as good as possible, even if Kai rejects his help.

Tyson was still thanking everyone from the hotel for their service and then he called his team to leave and to walk to their next destination. Kai noticed how Sanin looked at him one last time before dissapearing behind the corner. He sighed and was just hoping that he didn't notice. From time to time, he looked at Rei, just to keep him from saying a word to annyone. He may have told him the truth but he didn't know for sure if he was really reliable.

As soon as the bladebreakers stepped outside, a cold wind was cutting trough their flesh, making them get closer to each other so that everyone could stay warm. Off cours, kai didn't wanna be part of the happy group so he just walked a little behind them. And if no one looked at him, he would be able to stop from time to time, to gain strength.

Rei looked over his shoulder from time to time, to see if Kai was still with them. Every now and then, he saw Kai gritting his teeth and then he wanted to run towards him but Kai would send him an icy glare that would chase anyone away. He didn't mean to be this way but he couldn't trust anyone, he just couldn't, he wanted to but it was impossible for him to do.

A few white crystals were falling from the sky, making everyone stop for a while. Kai was relieved but didn't wanna sit down. So, he tried to keep standing, on his trembling legs. Tyson stuck out his tongue and tried to catch the snow together with Max. Kenny sat himself on a rock, to type on his labtop. Kai noticed no one was watching him so he sat down, with his legs and arms crossed like he allways did, and his eyes closed to hide his eyes that were sparkling with tears. The pain was too much, but he couldn't stop now, he had to move on, and he knew that time heals all wounds.

Rei walked over to Kai, very carefully but worried. He saw how Kai closed his eyes, one of his tipical moves but he knew there was another reason right now. Rei sat himself next to Kai, in the snow and layed a hand on Kai's shoulder to comfort him. The moment that kai felt the hand on his shoulder, he yelped and jumped away. It was sad to see that kind of reaction from one of the best and strongest beybladers in the world.

Kai glared daggers at Rei and pushed him away, mad at him for coming near him but even more mad at himself for scaring because of something innocent like that, mad because his team was looking at him with a strange look in their eyes and mad because he wasn't able to do anything else but yell at them for no particular reason at all.

Rei just shook his head and walked over to his team, a little upset and less caring now that he knew how kai was feeling about him. He was allways mad at everyone and that made Rei less worried. In fact, he was feeling a bit more comfortable at the fact that he was hurt. Maybe this seemed cruel but if kai wanted help, he should ask for it instead of chasing everyone away and if he didn't do this, it meant that he didn't need help and that he would be fine by himself. Rei closed his eyes and listened to the boring conversation between Max and kenny while Tyson was throwing snow at them.

It started to snow harder and harder and soon, no one could even see his own fingers anymore. It was too white and so they decided to spend the night in a cave. Everyone but kai came together again, assuming that Kai would follow them. They hooked their arms together and looked around desperatly, seeking for shelter. It snowed harder and harder and soon, even hail would fall down. Everyone was hurt because of it so they walked even faster, searching everywhere.

Kai was trying to follow his team and every now and then, he was able to see a little flash of the others their cloaths. But soon, he saw nothing annymore and he gave up. He fell to his knees, not able to carry his own weight annymore. The snow was covering Kai's hair with white crystals and the wind would cut his flesh and dry out his lips. Soon, he was cold, alone and sad.

The bladebreakers were finally able to see something and what's even more, they saw a cave. It was cold and wet, but at least, they were able to see something there and it was a bit less cold. Everyone sat in a circle and Rei was even able to make a fire. When the cave was all lit up, Tyson let himself fall on his back with a big smile on his face. He was glad to be out of the storm. He looked at Max who was laying his socks next to the fire to let them dry. Rei was staring into the fire, throwing wood into it every five minuts.

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

Kai dropped himself on his back, watching the snow fall towards him, feeling how the cold snow coloured his face blue. Soon, he was feeling numb because of the cold and he just closed his eyes, feeling how his pain grew and waiting for the final minutes of his life.

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

Suddenly, Rei jumped up, looking at his team with a terrified look in his eyes. Tyson blinked. "What's wrong Rai" asked max a little curious. "We lost Kai!" yelled Rai while he looked at Tyson desperatly. Tyson and Max jumped up too and looked outside, at the cold snowstorm that was covering everything outside with a big, white blanket.

Rai held a stick in the fire to make a torch and jumped outside in the snow. "Stop" yelled Tyson "he'll be fine, i know he will". Said Max, confident that their leader was strong enough to survive the storm. "You don't understand!" yelled Rai and he ran in the other direction, searching for his leader.

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

It was hard for kai to breath. The snow was covering his mouth and his nose and he was unable to move. He couldn't even whipe away the snow on his face. As he layed there, he started to remembre his life. How he lost his parents, everything bad and how his...team, accedentally came into his life and made it more...cheerfull, even though he wouldn't let them.

Suddenly, kai heard how someone was screaming his name while coughing and he saw a little flame, flickering madly in the wind, allmost going out. The coughs became louder and Kai wanted to scream, but he wasn't able to. Then, he felt a new pain in his side and felt how something fell on him.

Rai was laying on something soft and cold. He whiped the snow away from the strange object and screamed in horror when he saw his teamleader, looking at him with his eyes almost closed, a blue face, dried lips and tiny cuts in his cheeks from the harsh wind.

Kai was glad that rai found him and smiled one last time before the darkness was filling his head and covering up his eyes. The last thing he heard was one last scream. He felt empty and heavy, as if he was being pulled into the ground.

Rei lifted Kai on his shoulders and walked back to the cave, trying to follow his own footprints. He was cursing at everything he saw. He couldn't believe this, it happened again, kai refused help and he was nearly dead, again. Soon, Rai found the cave and walked inside with his leader on his shoulders.

Tyson and Max gasped when they saw this and rushed over to Rai to help him with Kai. They layed him next to the fire and growled a little. This was going too far, when kai wakes up again, Tyson will tell him what a team is about, no matter how hard it is for Kai to listen but this has got to stop!
