chapter 8 - A rocky road to recovery
Ray didn't care, he smiled sweetly at Kai and followed him into his room. They soon got ready for bed, Kai had dark blue boxers and T-shirt on and Ray had yellow boxers and a borrowed white T-shirt of Kais on. Kai got into bed first and pulled the covers back for Ray. Ray climbed in and setteled himself down next to Kai. Ray soon fell into a peacefull sleep and Kai layed there watching him. His hand reached out and touched Rays hair carefully not to wake the sleeping boy. Rays hair felt like silk in his fingers. He pulled his hand back after a while and with a smile that graced his lips he fell a sleep as well.
*~*~*~ the next morning *~*~*~
The sun driffted through the windows and onto a bed where 2 boys laid snuggled together. The boy with slate coloured hair was the first to awaken. While stretching he felt this strange warmth attacht to his side, creeking an eye open he looked down to see what it was. What met this boys sight was ravenblack hair and a lith body steadly breathing next to him. He nearly threw the other boy off when he saw how close they were. The slate haired boy shifted in the bed a bit and in doing so the other boy slowly awoke. Amber orbs flickered open and then looked up at the boy next to him.
"Good morning, Kai!" Ray said with a yawn followed by a smile. He stretched his lith body like a cat brushing along side Kais. Kai just grunted and swung the bedcovers back. He got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
"Ray I suggest you get up. I want to start training in an hour." Kai threw over his shoulder as he shut the door. Ray groaned and snuggeled into the bedcovers and scooted over to Kais side of the bed. Ray didn't really know why but he loved Kais scent.
*You know Driger, we used to practice every day so we could be good enough to compete and challenge Kai.* Ray mentally spoke to Driger.
*Yeah, I know. Now look he is your captain and you can challenge him all you want in training.* Driger was dying for a spin.
*I know, I even shared the same bed as him. Who would have thunk it. I feel a lot safer knowing he will protect me from him. I can finally show him my real power now, but not until I have sleept some more.* Ray closed his eyes and buried his head in Kais pillow.
*I don't think that is really a wise idea Ray....Ray?* Driger was talking to himself due to Ray sleeping. About ten minutes later Kai emerged from the bathroom washed and fully dressed. He looked towards the bed and found that Ray hadn't even tried to get up. He frowned and walked up to the bed.
"Ray, you were supposed to get up not carry on sleeping, now get up." Kais voice was cold and sent a shiver down Rays spine.
"But I want to sleep on, can't we practice later?" Ray went deeper into the covers.
"Ray!!" Kai growled. Ray whimpered and crawled out of bed. He pouted at Kai with big kitty eyes.
"Oh no, that is not going to work this time. Now get up." Ray hung his head and walked to the bathroom to get washed and dressed. Satisfied that Ray was finally getting up, Kai left the bedroom to wake the others. Kai walked down the hallway to Maxs bedroom and woke him up first. He then sent Max to wake up the fastfood monster Tyson, so he could go and check up on Ray. On his way back to his bedroom where Ray was getting ready he heard a faint scream.
*Kai, do you think that was Ray?* Dranzer asked paniced.
*I have no idea, but I hope not.* Kai frowned and picked up his pace.
*Kai Driger is worried, Rays mind is hysterical.* screeched Dranzer making Kai flinch slightly.
*What!!! What the hell happened? I only left for a few minutes.* kai was now running down the hall to his room and once he got there he threw the door open.
"Ray? Where are you?" Kai shouted, but he got no answer. He saw that the bathroom door was open and walked over to it. He gasped at what he saw, Ray was sat on the floor starring at a razorblade. His left wrist was bleeding from a deep cut he had self inflicted.
"What the fuck did you think you were doing Ray?" Kai grabbed a towell and wrapped Rays cut wrist in it. Ray began to shake and tears leaked from his amber orbs.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ray started to sob like crazy.
"Why did you do it?" Kai asked not knowing quite what to do.
"I had a fit and blanked before I could fight it, the next thing I knew I was digging that razorblade into my wrist. I'm scarred Kai, I'll never get better." Kai had taken Ray into his lap and rubbed circles on his back in a soothing way.
"Kai, why are you really helping me? Not that I'm complaining but you're so cold to everyone else. Why don't you just give up on me." Ray said carefully. Kai sighed not really knowing how to answer the question.
"Well you are an exceptional blader right?"
"I guess, I used to be."
"This problem you have is effecting your blading skills and I need these skills, if they are as good as I have heard. You are an owner of a very powerfull bitbeast, that is going to waste sitting in a draw. I'll help you in anyway if it helps you get better." Kai answered, that beeing only half the truth.
"Oh okay!" Ray was staring at the floor. Kai slowly got off the floor bringing Ray up with him. Ray was still shaking as they walked over to the sink to clean up his wound.
"Let's get you cleaned up and ready to go to breakfast." Ray nodded his head at Kais words. It took them awhile to get ready much to Kais annoyance, his training time was beeing cut short. The morning went by somewhat uneventfull, Kai had asigned everyone to shifts in looking after Ray. They were not allowed to let Ray out of their sight, just incase he did something stupid. Everything was going fine until Ray had another one of those fits. Tyson was practicing his blading skills while Ray watched. It was Tysons turn to watch over Ray. The neko-jin was sitting on the grass picking daisys with a smile on his face, the weather was lovely and a cool breeze blew threw the air.
"Oh man, come on Dragoon you have to get faster. You know Ray I still don't understand why I have to do extra practice." Tyson was cursing Kai in a colourfull manner, after a while he noticed Ray was extremely quiet. Ray was laying in the grass not moving and just starring at the sky. Tyson walked over to Ray and nudged the boy.
"Ray. Hey Ray you okay buddy?" Tyson waved his hand in front of Rays face, but the neko-jin didn't flinch or blink.
"Ray this isn't funny!" Tyson heaved Ray into a sitting position.
*Yo Dragoon, what should I do?*
*I don't know, you have to find Kai he knows more about this than I do.* Dragoon responded.
*Right! You know where he is?*
*No, but I can try and find out.* With that Dragoon was gone. Tyson lifted Ray onto his shoulders and went in pursuit of Kai. He jogged across the grass and past the pool. Entering the livingroom he saw Max sat on the couch.
"Hey Max, need some help here." Tyson called to Max who was watching some cartoon. Max turned to Tyson eyes widening when he saw the unconcious Ray.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, I was doing that extra training Kai wanted me to do. When I turned to look at Ray, who was very quiet at the time, I found him laying motionless in the grass. There was no warning of any sort." Tyson explained.
"Do you think it's serious?" Max asked worried.
"I have no idea, but I've got to find Kai. You know where he could be?"
"I think he said he was going to take his mobile just in case something happened when he was gone. Try that!" Tyson ran over to the phone and dailed what he thought was Kais number.
"Please let this number be right!" Tyson only heard the phone ring, but no one seemed to be picking up.
"Hey Max, you know Kais number?" Max pulled out a piece of paper that had Kais number on it.
"Isn't it 0789 0196543!"
"That's what I dailed but no one seems to be answering it." Tyson scratched the back of his head waiting.
*~*~*~ at a lake out side the city *~*~*~
Kai was taking a swim in a lake just out side the city. He was laid on his back in the water and leting himself relax for the first time in days. But that was short lived, Ray was starting to get to him. For some odd reason he couldn't get the neko-jin out off his head, the image he had was one where Ray was smiling. He growled when he failed at getting Ray out of his head again. After a few laps he decided to call it a day, getting out off the water a pain shot threw his head and he ended up falling back into the water.
*What the hell was that?* Kai thought as he surfaced. He attempted to get out of the water again, this time succeeding. He grabbed a towell from his bag and started to dry himself off. He was interupted when he heard his mobile ringing. He rumaged threw his bag trying to find the damn thing.
*Great just what I need.* After a few more minutes of searching he found his mobile at the bottom of his bag. Just as he was about to answer it, it stopped ringing.
"Damn!" Kai looked to see who had called him and frowned seeing the number of Mister Dickensons mansion. He dailed the number and waited for someone to answer it.
*~*~*~ back at the mansion *~*~*~
"God why won't Kai pick up the damn phone." Tyson put the receiver back on it's hook and walked over to Max and Ray. Ray was still out cold and didn't show any signs of waking up soon. Both boys were starteled when they heard the phone ring, Max got up and answered it.
"Hello! Max speaking." Max tried to keep his voice calm.
"Max, why did you guys call me, this better be good." Kai said coldly down the phone. Max shivered at the tone of voice.
"Well Kai...something has happened to Ray." Max gulped and Tyson stared at the blond as he heared Kais name.
"What do you mean something happened to Ray?" Max knew Kai wasn't very happy.
"He is laid here on the couch and he is out cold. He doesn't show signs of waking up anytime soon either. We thought you might know what to do or something."
"Fine I'm on my way back, give me 20 minutes. Call me if anything changes!"
"Okay!" Max heard a click on the other end and knew Kai had hung up.
"And is he coming?" Tyson walked over to where Max was stood.
"Yeah, he said he would be here in 20 minutes." Max answered.
"Geez, where did he go. Anyway while we are waiting I'm going to the kitchen to get some food. Want anything?" Tyson headed for the door.
"No, I'll just sit here and watch over Ray."
"Okay, see ya in a bit." Max watched Tyson vanish behind the door. He then turned to Ray and his face fell.
"Who did this to you Ray? Don't hide it from us, I can feel your distress. I'm glad you found someone to hold on to, I just hope Kai can keep his promise." Max shook his head.
*~*~*~ meanwhile with Kai *~*~*~
Kai threw on his clothes and headed for the bus stop. He only had to wait 5 minutes and the bus he needed arrived. He couldn't believe that Ray had another fit, the neko-jin seemed fine and more livelier as the day progressed he didn't think that there would be a back lash. Kai was sat in the back of the bus looking out the window.
*Somehow I knew the day was going to well, should have known something would not go my way today.* Kai thought to himself.
*I hope that guy isn't back. Driger told me that the guy who did this to Ray might be at the Asien tournament.* Dranzer told her master.
*Well, if he touches any member of my team especially Ray he has another thing coming.* Kai spat.
*Too right.* Dranzer agreed. The bus ride took 15 minutes, once Kai got off he had another 5 minute walk to get to the mansion. But instead of walking he ran back.
*~*~*~ Mansion livingroom *~*~*~
Tyson was pacing up and down the livingroom. Max was sat on the couch next to Ray.
"Kai is late, what's taking him." Tyson muttered. He soon stopped his bickering as he heard someone whimper. He first looked at Max and then to Ray. Ray was tossing his head and whimpering as he sleept. Tyson couldn't do anything but watch, but Max on the other hand had tears in his eyes.
"He won't leave you alone will he." Max said with a sob.
"Max what are you talking about?" Tyson was confused at Maxs words.
"I can feel his pain Tyson. He is hurting! We need to -" Max was cut off when a door flew open and Kai rush into the room.
"KAI!!!" Max exclaimed.
