Chapter 10 – Finally
Josuke's brown, dull eyes glared down at the teen in his grip, noticing that his ruby eyes were focusing on the blade beside the two of them.
"You can stop dreaming about getting that Kai-koi..." he said casually, a soft smirk across his tanned face.
Kai replied by just staring at him, his expression cold and emotionless, exact to the one that never left his face in Russia, the look no one had wished to see again.
"Oh my... someone's in a bad mood," the black haired man said smirking, as he shifted his weight further up Kai's body, coming to a rest on his stomach, causing Kai to grunt slightly in discomfort.
"Get... off you fat git..." the captain stated pouting slightly.
"You'll regret saying th-" Josuke was cut off from a groan of pain that froze the two of them.
Kai turned his head to look round, his eyes locked onto Rei who stirred slightly, his golden eyes fluttering until he lay motionless again.
"Oh... guess he's not dead then," Josuke said smirking nastily he said shifting his weight again, and Kai saw this to his use, twisting his hips to the side using his flexibility to his advantage.
Back at the house, Kenny was still tending to the slowly recovering Tyson as Max paced back and forth, his hand bandaged and bloody.
"Max calm down..." Kenny said as he dabbed a damp cloth on Tyson's forehead, the expression on the midnight haired boys face clearly showing he was feeling better.
"Calm down?! Rei has been kidnapped, we found out Kai and him are doing it and now Kai's ran off to save him! How can I be calm at a time like this?!" the blonde yelled back in reply, his eyes burning with emotion.
"I know how it feels Maxie... but you gotta clam down, I mean I'm sure Kai will be just fine..."
"Fine... I doubt that... He's been gone for far too long..." Max sighed heavily, "Knowing Kai by now if he had won... then he would've come back by now."
The blonde paced from left to right until he finally came to a stop, staring out of the window into the windy night.
"Max... you're just gonna have to hope Kai and Rei are ok... there's nothing more we can do..." the small brunette replied as he shifted Tyson so that he leaned against the living room wall.
"If only we knew where they were... we could help them..." Max said under his breath, racking his brain for any sort of answer.
Kenny simply continued to care for Tyson; brushing his midnight bangs from his eyes, when suddenly he remembered what had happened a while back.
"I... think I know where they might be," Kenny said glancing over his shoulder at the worried Max.
"What?! Where?" he answered quickly, bright blue orbs locking onto Kenny.
"Earlier this week... Kai got up really early and I saw him go down that alley," Kenny replied, pointing out of the window to the dully-lit alleyway.
"Why didn't you say before?" Max questioned.
"I didn't think it was relevant... there's no guarantee that Kai and Rei will be down there..."
"It's worth a try, come on!" Max grabbed his jacket, urging Kenny to follow.
"But... what about Tyson?" Kenny protested.
"Urgh... he'll still be asleep when we get back," the blonde said nodding towards the snoozing blader.
Kenny nodded reluctantly, but took his coat and followed Max out of the door at a sprint.
Oblivious to Kai's twisting and turning Josuke went to sit back down to continue his hold on the grey haired beauty.
"What the?!" Josuke scowled when he slipped off Kai's hips, rolling onto his knees next to Kai, but still held onto his wrists, "You sly cunt!" he yelled at the captain.
"Bastard!" Kai snapped and used his now free legs to kick Josuke hard around the face, blood instantly coming out of his mouth as he flew to the side, and landing awkwardly on his back.
"Argh!" the man yelped in pain as he landed, his wrist twisting underneath his weight.
Kai breathed heavily as he sat up, holding his arm in his hand, rubbing the sore area where Josuke had been holding him. His eyes locked onto Josuke, clutching his wrist painfully, the bone clearly poking through. Kai cringed slightly at the sight, but couldn't help the satisfied smirk that came over him as he watched Josuke squirm about in agony.
Crimson eyes glanced round to Rei, who still lay motionless on the floor, his arm lying lazily across his face, covering his eyes. His pale lips were slightly open, his broken arm flopped out across the floor and his chest going very slowly up and down as he remained un-conscious.
"Impressive Kai... very impressive..."
Kai's stare instantly shot round to the voice, to see Josuke struggling to his feet, face bleeding and wrist limp and broken.
"What?" Kai replied in a bitter voice.
"The way you got me off you... didn't expect that one bit..." Josuke said holding his broken wrist tight in his other hand, the shimmer of evil still in his chocolate eyes.
"Yeah well..." the blader shrugged slightly and stood up, brushing himself off before he looked back at Josuke, giving him a cruel death glare.
"Still in a mood I see... Ah well, I'm sure it'll go sooner or later," Josuke said casually as he let go of his wrist, letting it fall lifelessly to his side, his face screwing up slightly at the pain.
Kai snickered at the sight. Revenge. The first thing that came to Kai's mind, and he had to admit he liked the satisfied feeling of seeing Josuke in pain.
A cruel smirk came over Kai again as he watched the man before him, not caring that he was staring back at him with anger.
"Are you mocking me?" Josuke snapped.
"Not really no... Thinking about how much I'm enjoying seeing you in pain." Kai replied with a content smirk across his face.
"Tch... Typical of you Kai isn't it?" Josuke said smirking back at him, "But... just because I'm in pain doesn't mean I won't be able to kill you and your little boyfriend."
Kai's eyes widened at his statement and he instantly snatched the blade from the floor and went over to Rei, standing in front of him for protection.
"Awww... How noble of you Kai-koi..." Josuke said cocking his head mockingly.
"Stop calling me that." Kai snapped.
"You know it's true."
"No it isn't," Kai growled.
"Well... Not yet anyway, I'm sure I'll have my way with you soon," Josuke said smirking evilly at Kai, slowly licking his lips.
"Fuck off!"
"Rather fuck you," Josuke replied as if it came natural.
"Pathetic son of a bitch." Kai said getting angry.
"I'd stop with all the insults Kai... Unless of course you want me to get rid of Rei... permanently," the man sniggered at the thought.
"You have to get past me to get to Rei dickhead..." Kai said putting one foot behind him, as if expecting an attack.
"Fine then..." Josuke shrugged and turned round, going down to the floor. He stood back up; clutching the pole he had used to beat Rei with, his ruby red blood still smeared along it.
Kai lowered slightly, waiting for the assault... which soon came.
Josuke leapt forward at Kai, bringing the pole high up, aiming to smash Kai over the head. Kai retaliated by putting up both of his arms, crossing them over onto an 'X' shape to protect himself, letting his arms take the full force of the blow.
He cringed when the metal smacked against his skin, feeling his arms paralyse for a split second until Josuke pulled the pole away, a disappointed look across his face that he didn't hit him.
"You continue to catch me off guard Kai... Not very predictable are you?" Josuke asked.
"No."
Kai stepped forward and kicked Josuke hard in the knee in an attempt to break his legs. The man just managed to move out of the way so Kai only kicked the side of his lower leg, but the pain of the kick still shot through him, causing him to stumble over.
Josuke grabbed onto a near pile of wooden crates to stop himself from losing his balance, turning his back to Kai.
The crimson-eyed blader quickly realised his advantage and he went up to Josuke from behind, wrapping his arm around his neck, pressing the silver blade to his throat.
Josuke choked slightly at the unexpected attack on him. He lifted his head slightly to try and move his throat from the side of the blade, but failed miserably.
Kai couldn't help but laugh slightly at how vulnerable Josuke had become, the fact he was frozen in his grip, breathing heavily and fear clearly racing through him.
"Looks like the tables have turned wouldn't you say Josuke?" Kai said smugly, pressing the knife harder to his throat.
Josuke didn't answer.
"Answer me."
Silence.
"Heh... Familiar ne? I didn't answer you when we were in this position before, so you caused pain... So, it'd only be fair for me to do that to you now wouldn't it?"
The man nodded, and swallowed hard. "Y-yes... but are you... r-really going t-to kill me?" he stuttered fearfully.
"No... I'm not like you Josuke..." Kai said casually as he still held the blade tight in his grip.
"I wou-"
The door flung open.
"KAI!" Max's voice suddenly filled the air around them.
"Max?!" Kai looked round and saw Kenny and Max come into the building. "What are you two doing here?" he asked puzzled.
"Kenny knew you were here, so we came..." Max said in reply, his eyes locking onto the man in Kai's grip.
"Rei!" Kenny yelled when he noticed his friend lying motionless on the floor and he ran over to him, scooping him up to an up right position, and Rei replied by groaning slightly, his eyes fluttering, but remained shut.
Josuke felt Kai's hold loosen as his attention went to the others, and tried to slip out of his arms.
"Don't even think about it Josuke!" Kai snapped and he grabbed his broken wrist, squeezing it tightly.
Josuke yelled out in pain, the agony too much for him and he lashed out at Kai. Spinning his body round he grabbed Kai's arm wrapped round him and sunk his teeth hard into his pale skin, blood forming instantly.
"ARGH!" Kai screamed out as he yanked his arm away from Josuke's mouth, dropping the penknife on the floor. Max and Kenny watching with wide eyes.
"Son of a bitch..." Max said his mouth open in shock.
"Shut the fuck up blondie!" Josuke snapped bitterly and he suddenly reached to his belt, pulling out a gun.
"JOSUKE DON'T!" Kai yelled as he saw Josuke take aim at Max.
Ignoring the pain of his arm, Kai jumped forward and shoved Josuke to the floor, causing him to drop the gun.
Josuke landed hard on the floor, and so did Kai.
Everyone's eyes watched the gun fall to the floor, spinning out of control as it went, and what seemed like forever the silver weapon hit the ground, the force making the trigger pull.
Gunshot echoed through everyone's ears, all of them clamping their eyes shut from the sound and fear of being hit.
Silence filled the building as the bullet raced through the air, eyes remained shut until the scream of pain caused everyone to open their eyes, only to see Kai clutching the right side of his chest, blood seeping through his shirt.
"KAI!" Both Max and Kenny screamed, eyes wide at Kai struggling to breath from the bullet in his chest.
Max ran over to Kai, lying him down on the floor, pressing his shaking hands over the bullet hole.
"Come on Kai! Fight it!" Max yelled, his eyes pouring with tears as he watched his captain's eyes open and close over and over again, struggling to remain conscious... struggling to remain alive.
Kai could feel the blood running out of him, the air leaving his lungs as his whole body jerked from the shock.
Kai gasped for air, his whole body tensing from the pain as he completely passed out, seeing nothing but darkness.
Beep...beep....beep... The constant sound of the heart monitor was the only sound around the Bladebreakers.
Max, Tyson, Kenny and Rei sitting either sides of a hospital bed, their leaded lying motionless between them, tubes going into his nose and mouth, and wires connected to his chest, which was now bandaged, a small spot of blood in the centre.
Rei sat next to his love, clutching his hand with his own, tears falling from his golden orbs. "Kai... you probably can't hear me... but... thank you..." he whispered silently as he kissed the teen softly on his forehead, leaning down so not to hurt his plastered arm.
A muffled groan sounded and Rei pulled back to see Kai's ruby red eyes flutter open, his pupils widen then return to normal.
"Kai!" All four of them shouted together to see their leader awaken.
Kai took a few deep breaths before he realised what had happened, and where he was.
"R... Re...i..." he stuttered, a happy, yet pain filled smile across his face.
"Oh Kai I didn't think you'd make it!" Rei said instantly lunging forward and wrapping his arms around his lover.
Max and Kenny sat in silence; their eyes filled with tears and relieved smiles across their faces.
"Glad to have you back buddy," Tyson said winking and giving him a thumbs up.
"Same here Kai-chan," Max said as he wiped his eyes.
Kai's smile faded when he looked at Rei. The bruises and cuts still on his face, one eye black and his broken arm in a cast.
"Rei... are you ok?" Kai asked in a whisper.
"I'm fine... when the ambulance came, they took both of us, but I only needed a few bandages and plasters... I'm just glad your ok." Rei said in reply.
"What... about J-Josuke?" Kai asked remembering why all this had happened.
"He'd gone... when you got hit he legged it out of the place," Max informed, "...but I doubt we'll be seeing him again."
Rei nodded and sighed, "Umm... guys..." he said smirking at Tyson, Max and Kenny, who all replied with a nod.
"See you out there Rei..." Kenny said smirking back at him as he led the others out of the small, white room.
"I love you so much Kai-koi..." Rei whispered lovingly as he brushed his bangs out of his eyes.
"I love you too kitten..." Kai replied and slowly pulled Rei down by his collar, pressing his lips against his.
