Two Worlds
Ch. 02: Wounded state
Opening his golden eyes, he scanned to where he was. There was nothing but darkness, except a strike of dark blue light that seeped through the things that blocked out the light.
"I see that you're awake." The deep voice was enough to make Ray turn in horror.
The raven-haired boy didn't say much; he just started at the silhouette of the figure created by the hallway light through the open door.
"Maybe I should teach you again to not talk back at me like that back then..." Seeing the figure coming closer and closer, Ray whimpered slightly as he backed away.
Feeling his hand slip in mid air, Ray gasped as he realized he was sitting at the edge of the bed. But still, the person came.
"Why are you scared Ray? You used to enjoy this..." Ray shook his head as he got a tight grip on his tears, not letting them seep through.
A painful grip settled upon his bruised arm as he was yanked forward. Stumbling forward and onto the floor in a painful thump. His bare knees hit harshly on the wooden floor as he was dragged into a corner and slammed into the walls. His head hit again the dark walls as dizziness came over him. The next moment, something hard made contact with his still untreated wound on his stomach. Then a blow to his chest knocked the breath out him. A sharp object sliced throw his once prefect flesh on his arm, cutting throw the bruise.
Ray yelled as the figure yanked harshly on his long pony tail, then he screamed again as the sharp object was stabbed into his right shoulder, soon being pulled out. The golden-eyed boy could feel the blood seeping out of him, but he did not loosen on his grip of his tears. Rough lips pressed against his own, as a tongue forced themselves through. Feeling dirtiness washing over him, Ray couldn't help but struggle, thrashing his head from side to side to try and leave those cold lips.
SLAP! His hair flew to once side as his face turned. The feeling of pain washed over him as the hand made contact with one side of his face. A small yelp manages to make its way out of Ray's now bruised mouth.
"Ray, you're no fun anymore...mmm...there is this girl who likes me...maybe I should get her. I've had you for how long? 2 years? Mmm...time to move on..." The beatings stopped as the person spoke to the Chinese sitting up against the wall with his head hanging low.
Grapping Ray's long ponytail, he dragged the wounded teenager out of the door and down the stairs. Hearing the lock clicking open, Ray felt himself being thrown; the cold night air outside didn't have any effect on him.
"When I have enough of her...I come back to you Ray. But for the time being...I don't want to see your pathetic face..." With those harsh words, the door slammed shut, leaving the injured boy lying there, back supported by the cold walls.
Scene Change
"Yuri...what a brilliant idea for us to visit a high school and getting attention to ourselves." There was a tiny hint of anger in the bluenette's voice as they drove through the silent street.
"Hey don't tell me you didn't enjoy any of it...well maybe not the fans but for sure you enjoyed the drama they were putting on and watching the actors making fool of themselves." Yuri knew Kai all too well.
"Hn."
"Aww, why couldn't we stay a little longer? I mean...didn't you see how different the food was!! I couldn't even try them all out..." At the back, Takao complained.
"Eating every piece there is is not called trying it out! It's called pigging out." A smart comeback can always be expected from the redhead.
The three continued like this as they drove down the road, accompanied by the shine of the damped moon.
Growling slightly, Ray slowly stood up with the help from one of the branches of the tree growing beside the door. Having the thought of getting out of here, Ray began to walk. Step by step, the pain increased. But he did not stop.
For a while he walked, and he did not stop. He didn't stop until the site of Lee's house has disappeared. He didn't stop until the last obstacle that below to Lee disappeared. When they finally did, Ray collapsed. But before he could slip into unconsciousness, a moving light appeared. A few minutes later, it passed by, but then it stopped. The sound of a car door being opened reached Ray's ears as he tilted his head. Seeing a figure walking closer, he tried to move back and out of site, but a light grip landed on his uninjured arm.
"Are you alright?"
"..." Ray didn't speak...
/Who.../
"What happened to you?!" A different voice asked as two more shadows came.
"Yuri, call Jan to tell her to prepare a spare room and Takao, call D. Geoffrey. Tell him to come straight to the mansion."
"Sure."
"Hai..."
Using the last strength he had, Ray moved his head up to see the three's faces using the light from the sidewalk light.
/Kai? W-what is he doing out here in the middle of the night...dammit...sighs /
"You'll be okay..." A strong arm wrapped itself around his knees as another one reached behind his neck.
Ray was soon lifted off the ground and being lied down on a very soft place. Warmth and soft music floated in this new atmosphere. Feeling someone's lap was his pillow, and feeling comfortable, the raven-haired slowly slipped into a dreamless sleep.
Akata: Um...yeah...
Ray: glares better not stop there! After all you've put me through!!!
Akata: sighs I hope you'll forgive me after this...I really don't want ma favourite character to be mad at me...sniff that'd be too hard to bare...starts crying WAAAH....;;
Ray: -,-sighs Just get on with it...
Feeling his body ache all over, Ray opened his heavy eyelids, closing them again to block out the bright sunlight striking throw the silk white curtains.
Groaning slightly, he reopened his eyes slower this time. Looking around, he found himself lying in a VERY comfortable king size bed. The room was lilted up by the warm sunshine and the peach coloured walls helped reflect the light. There was a section of the wall on his left that was curved inwards with a set of DVD, CD, VCR players lined up and a high tech phone beside a large collection of DVDs and CDs. Above this is a VERY large flat TV screen, almost occupying the whole wall.
Across these things was a feathery light pink door, probably leading into the hallways. Beside the head of the bed was another door, painted in light yellow with a long mirror in the centre. Across from the bed was the other half of the room. There was a large wooden closet pushed against the wall. Across it was a polished working table. On its left was a large window, occupying the whole wall with the same white silk curtains floating slightly to the breeze that seeped through the gap of one of the open windows. To Ray's right was another large window with the same design as the other one. Small silver diamonds shaping out identical beautiful designs on the golden boarders decorated all the room's corners and turns.
/Where am I.../
Blinking away the astonishment, Ray moved to sit up only to regret doing it and falling back down on the softness of the bed. But the thing was, he didn't feel as much pain as he felt last night. Or at least he thought he was asleep for that long. In truth the wounds were so much better, he'd be surprised if he didn't know the high medical they had in the world today. But the question was, who applied them on him?
/Kai...the last thing I saw was Kai...but...but...that couldn't make sense...isn't Kai cold-hearted? Why would he help restore a pathetic life like mine? Maybe someone else did.../
Feeling a bit hurt by the sudden suggestion; Ray chuckled at himself and shook away the useless feeling. Feeling the curiosity creep up on him he slowly moved to sit up once again, this time trying hard not to hurt himself, his bare feet came in contact with a soft white carpet that covered the ground beneath him. With a little help from the walls and items around the room, Ray managed to exit this chamber. Patting down the azure- walled hall with the polished wooden floor, Ray couldn't help but notice again, how rich and beautiful the place was. Seeing a low but wide staircase just a few feet away, the black-haired boy entered the lower part of this house, holding onto the polished wooden stair handle, which had a small statue of a phoenix.
/Is there even anyone here? It sounds so empty.../
Just when that thought popped into his head, it vanished as different voices were heard.
"Takao, if you ever do that again, I'll personally skin you..." Angered filled the cold voice.
"But they didn't know I know you..." A more whinny voice loomed in.
"Oh yeah...that's why everyone was eying me along with you." Sarcasm replaced the anger.
"B-but--"
"What's going on?" A new voice joined the conversation and as Ray guessed, they were coming through the room under the stairs.
/And who are they? /
Being as curious as he was, he moved from the last stair and around the stair handle only to come slamming into something—correction—someone.
Having no time to hold onto the handle, Ray—as every other human would do—fell backwards, with whoever he bumped into falling down right ABOVE him!
/This is going to hurt...a lot.../
Closing his eyes and not quite prepared for the impact of this, Ray he could hope that whoever it was wasn't heavy.
But instead of come in contact with a hard ground and having someone to knock out his air, Ray unexpectedly landed on something soft...
/And comfortable.../
A small blush came across Ray's cheeks as he soon found out he'd landed on Kai...yep...the one and only...Kai...
/I am busted.../
Of course, he tries to sit up immediately after that, only to fall back down because he wasn't carefully with his still healing wounds.
"Oww..." that...manage to get itself lose and out of Ray's grip.
He was soon slowly moved to a sitting position with the help from Kai, and his other two friends. And nicely, his shoulder blade, which was stabbed by a knife sometime ago, was bleeding again, and the knowledge to know this is because the blood was ruining the perfectly white bandages.
"Damn...you'll have to unwrap that and apply new medicine, and of course, Kai can help you with that! " It's funny that when a person tries to act innocent they always appear to be more eviler then before...I wonder why...
Kai glared at the redheaded, oh if only looks could kill...the both of them would have been dead a loooooong time ago.
Sighing almost silently, the two-shade haired teenager carefully led Ray back to where he first woke up in. Flipping through the room behind the yellow door, Kai pulled out a bottle of something and a roll of new white bandages.
With a pop sound, the cap of the bottle was opened. Dipping a cotton stick into it, Kai was about to apply it when a small whimpering sound came.
Looking up, he saw fear dancing in those sun-kissed eyes.
"What's wrong..." that came out as more of a demand then a question.
"Uh...does that...hurt?" Kai was amused by the childish expression on the boy's face
"Probably not..." And he knew perfectly well that this will sting like crazy...but the wounded need the treatment and Ray didn't seem to care when he applied it earlier.
"..." Glaring at the bottle in Kai's hand, Ray seem to dare it to hurt him...
A small smile flew across the bluentte's lips as he saw this childish action. Usually to Takao, he would just snap at him for being so childish...but...this wasn't Takao...
After a few seconds, Kai set the bottle on top of the bed stand and sat beside the Chinese boy. Slowly the cotton containing the medicine came in contact with the large wound. Hearing a hiss coming from his guest, Kai looked up while one of Ray's hands took a strong trip onto the side of his shirt as the sting came in. After that, a small whimper came. Ray reopened his eyes, as the sting went away...
"I thought you said that this doesn't hurt..." There was hidden hurt in his voice, but Kai just thought it was from the wound.
"This is needed in that wound to get rid of the bleeding and bacteria. Or else it will be affected...then it would hurt more then just this..." Seeing Ray blinking a few times, he threw the now stained red cotton stick into the trashcan. Reaching over to the bed stand, Kai got hold of the roll of bandages. Slowly, he wrapped it around the wound, while Ray sat there watching him do the whole process.
"Why are you here in Canada?" That question came right out of the blue.
"On a vacation..."
"Oh, so you were touring the school that day...how did it go?"
"Well...it was better then I expected...though Takao pigged out...which he always does..." A small smile crawled up Ray's lips but only for an instant.
"So why are you helping me?" That was one question Kai couldn't find any answers to...
