Life has a funny way of waking you up...for Kay it was as if he were in a massive car accident and he were opening his eyes for the first time...all that was important before seemed to dissolved and his thoughts were needled in on his current situation. The blood coursing through his body was all that he could feel at the moment..then the pain slowly ebbed it's way into his veins. The blow he sustained had at least knocked some sense into him...he knew to stay down this time...for now...or he may not get up again. He gritted his teeth and let out a barely audible whimper...he had stalked his prey with such great confidence and arrogance beforehand. His plan was perfect, and now Maxima had shredded everything. But, Kay would come to find out that Maxima was in fact his divine intervention.. He beleived he heard footsteps coming up behind him. He was certain it would be over because the only people to be stupid enough to hang around for such explosions would be those who could deal with the source. A comforting but surprisingly uncaring voice called out... "You're lucky I installed a tracking device on that bike. You got stupid on me kid."

"I....am not a child." Kay spat out a bit of blood and lay his head back down, the warm touch of the blood stained concrete his only comfort at the moment...as long as he could sense it, he had to be off like that. You could of killed yourself! You could have been killed by K Dash. Look at the mess you made!" The concern in Angel's voice seemed to be suppressed by amusement as she glanced around. "Y'know, I saw most of the fight...the explosions and everything but it really doesn't hit you till you get right down to ground zero!"

Kay growled and attempted to push himself to his feet. He got about half way and dropped to his knees. "Help...help me up..." The light hearted teasing of Angel was only a kick to his confidence and an adrenaline shot to his ego. "I'm going after them."

Angel shook her head and rolled her eyes. "You've really lost it this time, Kay! You're asking me to help you up and you want to go on a suicide mission? Forget it. If you're going to be like this find your own way home." Kay blinked and lowered his head.

"Like I'd be coming back...look...fine..you win this time..just help me up..but don't expect me to sit around when another opportunity comes..." Angel stamped her foot and glared at him. "Damn it, Kay! Look at what you're doing! This is exactly what 'he' wanted! You're a little bomb just waiting to go off! It's over just let him go!" Kay stared at the ground for a moment. "...I'll make my..own decisions...everything I do is what I feel...quit treating me like I'm some sort of puppet...I came out here today because I needed to...let's go home..I'm sick of this..."

The next few days were filled with nightmares and hallucinations for the bed ridden Kay..he would lie staring up at the ceiling...which would at times seem to peel away to reveal a blackness..swirling about like a void..sucking in everything it touched...and near the center there was a gate..and the other side was clearly more beautiful..at the gate two hands seemed to be outstreched from either side of himself..but the bodies they belonged to seemed to be shrouded in a mist. Whenever he reached for the hands his mind would narrow and focus...and become crystal clear but then everything would shatter....Maybe Angel was right. He felt this was only trying to tell him that he would destroy himself before he would figure out the order of things.

Across the city a concerned Maxima tended to K-Dash, who, since he had not exerted as much energy as the other, seemed to be healing much faster. He sat up in his bed while Maxima changed the bandages on his left arm. "He doesn't understand....a lot of us don't understand but a few of us can see it..in his eyes..people like me and Kula....we can see it..I..I dunno Maxima I just don't think he's really all that violent..well..not on purpose anyway...do you really think anyone can be that shallow?"

Maxima shrugged. "Hmph....why should I care...I just clean up the messes you two make. He's just a dumb kid." K-Dash narrowed his eyes, gruffly and quickly responding. "I'm not a damn kid!...I..uh..mean he's not a kid..he's just confused...whatever..." Maxima simply shook his head and put his hands on his knees. "Why are you so friggin concerned? Are you alright, bud?" K shook his head. "Hell no...every time I'm clashing with him...something just doesn't feel right...hey..you ever try to push to magnets together...y'know how they have the "N" and the "S" on them? Well you ever try to push the N's together or the S's together? How they never come together, they just push away?"

Maxima rolled his eyes. "Basic physics, dumbass.." K shot Maxima an unamused look "I'm being serious.....so it's like that...when I was down there with him there's these brief moments where you know you shouldn't be there and they'res absolutely no reason to be fighting..and that you need to leave......you're just two N's that should repel each other..and then you feel like you're sucked right back into it.

I wonder if he feels the same way...but it's not like he knows any better so he just keeps on fighting."

Maxima stared at him... "Uhh...kid...I don't understand one fucking word you just said...but I will say this...you don't know any better than he does, you came home with just as many bruises." K slowly laid back down and sighed. "Look..whatever..I just think it's eerie..we always know where to find each other..the same with Kula...the Anti-K..."

"The wha?" Maxima scratched his head and K turned onto his side. "..Just popped into my head lately I...ah..never mind...I'm hungry."

The next morning came quickly for Kay...over the course of the day he seemed to have the same reoccuring vision...of the void...and the gates...the only time anything became clear was when he touched those hands...and undid it all. He found himself at the kitchen table staring down at an orange and a bowl of cereal. Far off, he heard talking. He blinked a few times and looked up. Angel was talking to him. The voice became louder as he focused in. "Come on Kay eat. It's been three days now. If you don't eat you're gonna get sick and you don't need to be sick right now." Kay took a bite of his cereal, eating while his mouth was full, crunching between words. "Stop babying me."

Well...cereal and milk doesn't feel very nice in your hair.

"Quit being such a damn jerk!" Angel tightened her fists and growled.

Kay laughed softly and painfully and wiped the mess from his face.
