hello again
sorry about the long wait, I've been having serious trouble with my computer lately, and haven't been able to get on as often as I usually do.
thanks for all the great reviews! I hope this chapter is alright.....
oh! I wanted to address a review I got for the last chapter.
If you remember, Kai had lost most of his memory in "Come Back Kai", and wasn't the same old mean, sourpuss Kai as in the series. he's still kindof like that, since he hasn't gotten all his memories back yet, but I'll just say he's getting used to the way he is now, and is starting to stay like that.
and yes, he is getting weaker, for now at least. Emotions will play apart on how powerful he gets. The last chapter, he got shot in the chest, in "Come Back Kai", he was shot in the thigh and shoulder, so being shot in the chest was a complete shock for him, not to mention more serious.
well, enough of me talking, here's the next chapter!
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Kai...." The voice seemed so distant. His name echoed in his head for a moment, and then suddenly grew louder and louder, sending him into full alertness.
"Kai! Please! Wake up!" The voice echoed.
"Hilary! Are you alright?!" Kai replied in his thoughts.
"Don't worry about me! What about you?! You were shot!" Hilary replied, sobbing.
"Shot?" Kai seemed confused. Memories suddenly began to fly back. It was dark. Nikolai took Hilary from him, and then challenged him to another sick game.
"Hilary, where are you! Has he....hurt you?"
"....no, I'm alright. We're walking now, but I don't know where we're going. I can't see."
Kai grimaced. What was Nikolai planning?
"Kai, I can feel you're pain! You need help now! Break the link, it's sapping your strength!" Hilary cried out in a worried tone.
Kai didn't reply for a moment. "Hilary...they're taking you to Russia, I'm sure of it. I'm coming to get you, so don't try and escape! He'll surely kill you. He's not like Boris....he's worse! He has no mercy......"
Their mind connection began to fade a bit.
"Oh no Kai!"
"Don't worry....try and contact Tala. He'll be able to help you until I can get out there. Be strong Hilary. He'll pay for this."
Hilary swallowed her fear. "I love you Kai."
"I love....."
The connection was gone. Hilary sniffled slightly. "Kai...."
"...ello! Earth to Kai!"
"I think he's finally waking up."
Kai opened his eyes half way only to groan in pain as the bright light greeted him.
"Kai.....how do you feel?" A familiar voice asked, concern in his voice.
"Rei....?" The injured teen replied. His eyes grew accustomed to the light, and focused on the figures in front of him.
Tyson and Rei were leaning over him, worry plastered all over their faces, and a gleam of sadness in their eyes.
Kai shifted under the blanket covering his bare chest and suddenly cringed. He rubbed his face with his hands and moaned.
"What happened to me?" He asked gruffly.
"You don't remember?" Tyson seemed shocked.
"We had an intruder, and he shot you and took....." Rei started and bit his lip, looking away.
Kai gasped as his eyes dilated. "Hilary!" He called out. In a blink of an eye, the blue-haired teen was straight up and trying to get out of his bed.
"Woah! Kai! Calm down!" Tyson called out and he and Rei tried to get their captain back into the bed.
Kai fought against them, ripping out an IV line from his arm. "Let me go! I have to go to Russia and find Hilary!"
Suddenly, a doctor, who had heard all the commotion, rushed in and helped Tyson and Rei.
"Calm down Kai! You've been seriously injured!" The doctor said.
"Would you all let me go! I can take care of myself!"
The doctor sighed and went over to a locked cabinet at the far corner of the room. He pulled out a needle and filled it with a clear substance and headed back over to Kai.
Kai eyed the needle, allowing Tyson and Rei to pin him to the bed.
"This is just going to help you calm down." The doctor said as he inserted the needle into the struggling teen's shoulder.
Kai hissed and suddenly felt numb. He was breathing heavily from exhausting all his strength.
Rei and Tyson sighed with relief once Kai actually settled down.
The doctor reinserted the IV line in Kai's forearm. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you boys to leave for a few minutes. You can come back in later."
Tyson and Rei nodded and headed for the door. "See ya Kai!"
The doctor looked at the clipboard in his hands. "Well Kai, how are you feeling today?"
"I feel fine! When can I leave!?" Kai replied.
The doctor chuckled softly and wrote something on his clipboard. "If you behave, you might be able to go tonight."
He proceeded to check Kai's vitals. He then cut the bandages over the teen's chest and observed his wound.
"You're pretty lucky. The bullet just barely missed your heart!"
The wound stung as the fresh air hit in.
"Looks like the bleeding has stopped for the most part too! This is amazing!" The doctor added as he began to wrap the wound with fresh bandages. "We weren't really expecting you to wake up so soon. Your friends weren't certain that you would even live! They wouldn't leave until you woke up!"
"How long have I been here?" Kai asked.
"3 days."
Kai cursed mentally. "Dangit! Hilary....please be okay..." He thought.
"Well, I let your friends back in now." The doctor said as he finished his writing on the clipboard and exited the room.
"Kai!!!" Everyone called as the whole team filed into the room.
"You gave us quite a scare!" Kenny said.
Kai sighed.
"Who was.....that guy?" Rei asked. "The guy that took...."
Kai didn't reply.
"Kai....?" Rei prodded.
"He's....Boris's brother..." Kai finally replied.
Everyone gasped in shock.
"Boris had a......a brother?!" Tyson stammered.
Kai looked down at his lap, a scowl forming on his face. He clenched his hands into fists. "He WON'T get away with this!"
"Hey....don't worry...." Rei started, placing a hand on his captain's shoulder. "We'll get her back!"
"I know! Why don't you try that mind thingy!" Max said suddenly.
Kai shook his head sadly. "I already have....she's too far away..."
"Well, maybe Tala can get a hold of her. Since this guy's Boris's brother, he probably went to Russia! Chances are that Hilary won't be hurt. It seems he's after you!" Tyson said.
"You're wrong Tyson!" Kai nearly shouted. "Nikolai is NOTHING like Boris! He has no mercy, and doesn't care who gets hurt! If you thought Boris was insane, Nikolai is only 10 times worse! That's why I was shot! He thinks this is all a game! As long as I'm alive, he won't stop! It's only a matter of time before he....before he....."
"Shhh....Kai...we won't let him do that." Rei said, gently shaking his friend.
"How do you know this Kai?" Kenny asked.
"...I first saw him when I was 3...I think...but he came to the abbey, and wanted to watch the training experiments. I remember him telling Boris that he wasn't pushing Tala and I hard enough, and then....Boris allowed him to take control....he ended up....."
Kai turned away in disgust.
"It's alright Kai...you don't have to continue." Max interrupted.
"Man....I never knew....." Tyson said mentally.
"Don't worry about it! Just concentrate on getting better so you can get out of here faster and then we can all go get Hilary!" Kenny declared.
There was a knock at the door and the doctor came back in.
"Sorry boys, but visiting hours are over. You can come back and take him home tomorrow afternoon."
"You're letting him go that soon?!" Rei asked in surprise.
"Well, yeah! He's recovering at a remarkable rate! There's nothing more we can do for him here." The doctor replied.
Kai smirked.
"Alright. See ya tomorrow Kai!" Tyson said waving good-bye as the team exited the room.
"I can't put the rest of my team in danger! There's no telling what Nikolai will do....I have to save Hilary by myself!" Kai thought as he sunk back into the hospital bed. "Please Hilary....just hold on until I can get there!"
