Saving Face

Chapter: Bad News
POV: Kai
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade Dammit!
"WHAT??" Max flinched again. Lie was just looking back between us both. "THAT BASTARD I CANT BELIEVE IT, I THOUGHT HE WAS IN THE MENTAL HOSPITAL" MAX was basically cowering in the corner now. Poor guy. But I just steamed out the door, to the kitchen where the letter was. What did that fool want? I heard some banging, like something being knocked over in Lies room. I heard, a groan from pain, so I turned around. Max came out, followed by Lie. She had an angry look on her face, and had hit Max on the head with her fist. He looked up at me, and muttered," I was just trying to help her, but she obviously didn't want my help." She hobbled out past me, to the kitchen I followed. Rei was sitting on a chair, and Tyson looked like he had seen a ghost. I laughed at this. I couldn't pass it up. " Scared of my mental relatives Tyson?" He looked at me, and I could see how pale he was. 'Yes' he muttered.
I opened the letter. None of them had opened it. I didn't get mail very often, so it was unlikely that any of them would open them. All I ever got was fan mail, part catalogs, and business letters, all from Russia.I read through it quickly, and everyone else stared at me. Lie wasn't there. She hadn't gotten up for me, she was in the Bathroom. The letter clearly typed said exactly this.
Dear Kai,
My only grandson. Life here is terrible. Surely you would want a better place for your grandfather to stay? But that really is besides the point. I wanted to inform you that I have Black Dranzer. I want you to use it. I want those Bit-err, parts that everyone has been talking about. They are releasing me tomorrow. I want to start beyblading again, it makes me feel young. If you know. Your young, so you should understand. I also have some things from your mother, and father, before...umm...they met their end. I think that you would like them, yes? Come to the mansion on December 12,I wish to forgive and forget, yes. Thank you, my dearest grandson.
Sincerely Voltaire
How could he think that he could bribe me into this mess? I was fuming mad, and I threw the letter on the table. I walked to the door, it was pouring, and thunder-storming. "Read that if you want, I don't care. I am going out, tell Lie that I wont be there to serve her supper tonight." I slammed the sliding door. I went outside, and walked to the park. There were many trees there. All of a sudden, I slipped on the ground, and fell, face first, but I caught myself before my face hit. I got up, and wiped my hands on my pants. I was freezing, but not as cold as I felt inside. I found a tree, and hopped up into it. I sat there for hours as long as I knew.
I must have fell asleep because I woke up to soft yelling. "Kai!" I looked down, and saw a poncho that had a bad limp. Lie. She looked all around, but didn't see me. I shouted into the darkness. "Leave me alone, I'm fine"She looked in my direction, and walked towards the tree. She would yell Kai are you up there/ I knew it. But she didn't. She just climbed up onto the branches. I arched an eyebrow. How in the hell was she going to climb a tree? She just eased up the branches. She flinched once, but she climbed until she got up to me. "Kai you are a stupid bastard if I ever saw one." I blinked. She sat beside me, sharing the thick branch. She took off her poncho. I saw wet hair, and red eyes. I didn't know why the eyes were red. She was hiding her emotions pretty well.
She slapped me. I forced her fist into my hand. What in Gods name was that for? She answered me."I hate you." I was shocked. "But not in the way I think. I hate it because I have to painstakingly think about how I am ever going to get away from the whole team unnoticed. I do like to stay, but I cant. I have to go, I have to make my own damn life worth living. Because it isn't. But I cant leave because you will catch me. I want to leave so badly, it isn't even funny, I just want to go. But you wont let me, and I know it." I stared at her, just trying to comprehend even a portion of what she just said. Did that mean .... that she was attached to me? Or just the whole team?!
For unknown reasons, she started crying. I went to wipe her tears, but she swatted my hands away. When I grasped her wrists, she kicked me, and wobbled on the branch. She fell, caught unbalanced. I watched her fall all of the way down. "Lie!!!" All of a sudden, I had closed my eyes, I heard a 'THUMP' and a moan of pain. I jumped down.
She was bleeding from the leg, and somewhere else. I could see her clutching her shoulder. I touched her briefly, but she quickly inched away from my hand though. I think..hope. That it was because she was in extreme pain. When I picked her up, she didn't move, and she didn't complain, she just allowed me to carry her. My clothes were soaked in her blood. She got really dizzy and light headed, and then she fainted. Her head rested in my arm. I blushed, but I went into the hospital doors. I hated the hospital, and I hated its ....happiness. I hated that it was always clean, and stunk like an aseptic. I took her to the desk. The nurse took one look at me, and almost fainted I think. She quickly dialed a number, and I was ushered into a room not to far from there. The doctors pushed me through some doors, and all I remember is the bright lights.
I was really dizzy right now
It was all happening so fast.
A nurse poked my shoulder. She was the cute kind with not alotta brains. I glared at her, and stepped out of my trance. She blinked, and said apparently for the 3-5 time, "Sir? Your Girlfriend is in a room now . If you want to see her, go in room 582,ok? And Sir? We have some spare clothes if you want them" I glared at her, and she stepped back. "No I don not want your clothes thank you. I will visit her, and she is not my girlfriend." She rushed away, after nodding. She was afraid of me. I got up from the chair they had obviously put me in, because I didn't remember. They blood dried clothes crinkled under me. I walked around, first visiting the cafeteria. I went through the line, and as always, gross hospital food. I knew Tyson would eat it though.
I found a turkey sandwich, and I got that. I also, on the fruit aisle picked up some cherries. The ones with stems. They were my favorite fruit. I got some fruit for Lie too. And a milkshake from the ice cream stand. It read" Ice Cream for Warm hearts, and Sweet tooths" I rolled my eyes at this.
I pushed the button for the elevator. It took awhile to come down, and when it finally did, I had finished my sandwich. I walked down the halls, only preventing my becoming lost by following the room numbers. I finally found the room. It read"582, Release Rooms" in peeling Gold letters. I went in.
There were 3 beds, 2 of them filled. Lie was by the window. I knew it. There was another guy, who had auburn hair, and a large bandage on his forehead. And a broken arm. I went to Lie. She looked at me, and said nothing. I set the milkshake on her table, and dropped the fruit in it. She raised her eyebrow. I handed it to her, and reluctantly she took it. She sipped from it. "I thought you may be hungry" She smiled a small smile, then went back to the milkshake. Silence again. I went to the end of the bed, and looked at the roster. It was all pretty confusing. But I got this much out of it:
1. Lie was not in danger of dying or internal injury
2.She had a misplaced shoulder blade, and apparently a huge gash on her leg. And a sprained wrist.
3. She was going to leave tonight
I put it back. She looked up at me, and she arched another eyebrow, as if asking what I thought. I blushed when I didn't answer, and she continued to stare at me, still sipping at the strawberry milkshake I brought her. "Hn" She gave me a confused look. " It-Your - the injuries you got aren't serious" She rolled her eyes, as if saying,'NO DUH' I sat in the chair next to her."I am sorry." She stopped sipping, to answer me."apology not accepted." I gave a look of shock. I FELT shocked. I didn't know why, and I knew she wasn't going to tell me.
"Please?" Wow, I don't think I ever used that word , ever. She replied with a dull 'no'. "Pretty Please?" What was I? Some guy who used girly phrases? I was going soft."No." I leaned it towards her face. "Yes?" I kissed her.
One half of my brain was screaming"WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT YOU MORON"
The other screamed"WOW I AM LOVING THIS!!!
I agreed with both. But mostly the 1st half. I broke off soon. And she had a shocked look this time. "Yes....."
