hello again
thank you for all the great reviews! I'm glad people didn't think it was pathetic.
here's the next chapter...and Kai's in it!
============================================================
"Well well well! Look what the cat dragged in!" Tyson exclaimed as Rei walked through the door, pulling Kai behind him.
"Kai!" Everyone exclaimed.
Mr. Dickinson rushed up to the blue haired teen and embraced him gently.
"Man! What's with all the hugging!? They act as if I've been gone for years!" Kai thought to himself.
"You had me worried sick! What were you thinking running off like that! You're in no shape to....my word! What happened to you!?" Mr. Dickinson exclaimed.
"I ran into him on the street, about a block away from where a fire broke out." Rei said.
Everyone gasped.
"Are you alright Kai?!" Max asked.
"I'm fine. You shouldn't have come after me. Now you're all in danger."
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up." Mr. Dickinson said, getting a first aid kit from under the kitchen counter.
Kai sat down on the corner of the bed in the next room and removed his shirt, revealing burns, dirt and small cuts, along with the large bandage around his chest, which was now saturated with blood.
Mr. Dickinson sighed as he began cleaning away the dirt from the open cuts. He remembered that he had done this before, when he first met Kai.
FLASHBACK
Mr. Dickinson had been walking back to his hotel room when he had run into this young, blue haired boy, barely managing to stay upright. His clothes had been torn, and he was covered in grime, but what amazed the elder man, was the fire in the boy's eyes. He had obviously been through hell, but those eyes were filled with such hope!
"Mr......Dickinson!" The boy sighed with relief.
"Kai!?" The elder suddenly recognized the boy. "Is that you!?"
"Please! Don't take me back....don't take me...." The young Kai fell forward into Mr. Dickinson's arms, exhausted.
The BBA representative carefully carried the boy back to his hotel.
"Kai...who did this to you?" He asked once he got back to his room.
"I...I can't tell ahhh!" The boy cried out as the antiseptic dapped at his wounds.
"Did your....grandfather do this?"
Kai turned his head away, and his lower lip quivered slightly.
"You promised I would be safe with him! You promised! You're all just a bunch of liars!" He cried out, tears threatening to run down his face.
Mr. Dickinson was shocked, and saddened.
He had known Kai's parents before he was even born. He had also friends with Voltaire Hiwatari. When Kai was born, Voltaire immediately changed. He didn't like the idea that his son had married a woman not from Russia, and now had a child. But as Kai grew older, Voltaire realized that something was different about him. Kai was no ordinary boy. Voltaire began to fight for custody of Kai, saying his parents weren't fit to raise him properly, and soon after, both parents mysteriously died. Mr. Dickinson was the first to comfort the young toddler. He thought his old friend was behind all of this, but pushed that thought far back in his mind.
With no more living family left, Kai was forced to stay with Voltaire.
"But Mr. Dickinson! I don't want to go with him!" The young boy pleaded.
"It's alright Kai! You'll be safe with him. I'll make sure nothing happens to you."
"...you promise?" The child sniffled, wiping away his tears.
"I promise."
END FLASHBACK
Mr. Dickinson felt horrible when he learned the truth about Voltaire, and what had happened to Kai.
The blue haired captain suddenly hissed in pain, but quickly quieted himself.
"What have you gotten yourself into this time my boy?" Mr. Dickinson asked.
"He's toying with me. He's trying to weaken me." Kai replied softly.
"And yet you still go along with it?"
Kai looked into the elder's eyes. The fire in his crimson eyes burning down to his soul.
"I have no other choice! You don't know what he's capable of!"
The elder sighed sadly. "Unfortunately, I don't, but I do know what you're capable of, and right now, if you don't take it easy, you're going to kill yourself!"
Kai looked away as Mr. Dickinson examined the gunshot wound. It had opened up a bit, but the bleeding had slowed down. He placed a new bandage over it and wrapped it with fresh gauze.
The team captain put his shirt back on and stood up weakly.
"Please! You must leave Russia at once! If Nikolai finds you here, he'll..."
Mr. Dickinson cut him off. "We're leaving together! Once we get Hilary back, then we will leave."
Kai started to say something, but the elder interrupted him. "You look horrible Kai. Get some sleep and we'll talk about this in the morning." He turned and left the room, leaving Kai standing in thought.
"How is he?" Rei asked worried as Mr. Dickinson walked out of the bedroom.
"Oh, he'll be fine. He's sleeping now, so please be as quiet as possible."
The boys nodded silently.
"Well, I have some business to attend to with the local authorities. I'll be back later tonight. If you need anything just call." The elder said, turning to leave the room.
"Okay Mr. Dickinson!" Tyson replied as he left.
"I'm hungry! Who's up for some Russian cuisine!?"
"Shhh! We can't go out now! What if Kai wakes up? You know he'll leave if no one is here to stop him!" Rei said.
"Rei's right. Why don't we order take out?" Max offered.
"Or better yet, why not just call room service? We get free meals here!" Kenny explained.
"Oh yeah!" Tyson cheered. He ran to the menu on the counter and began naming off all the food he wanted.
"What part of 'be as quiet as possible' don't you understand!" Rei asked, irritated.
"Oh! Sorry." He whispered.
Rei sighed.
