Chapter 14 - What To Do.

After taking a deep breath Kai launched Dranzer in Sam and Tyson's direction.

#Sam what are doing? Don't you remember that Tyson is your friend?#

Seeing Sam's momentary lapse in concentration.

"Tyson get Dragoon outta there now." Kai ordered appearing next to him.

Tyson nods and after retrieving Dragoon.
"Kai what about Dranzer?"

"Don't worry, Dranzer will be fine. Go help Ray and Kathryn and take Max and Kenny with you."

If the situation weren't so serious Tyson would of retaliated with a sarcastic comment or refused to move but he knew that if anyone could snap Sam out of her 'trance' it would be Kai.

"Let's go Maxie, Chief."

"We're right behind you Tyson." Max replies.

After ensuring that the others had gone Kai turned back to Sam.
/-I hope this works.-/

"Sam." he shouts making sure it got her attention.

She stared at him with cold harsh eyes making Kai wonder where the warm, gentle caring person he loved so much had gone.

"How dare you interrupt our match. You'll pay for that!" she hisses.

/-It's like she doesn't even know who I am.-/ Kai thinks sadly.

#I hate to add to your worries Kai but Moonstar says that if we don't stop her soon she'll 'burn out'.# Dranzer tells him.

Kai sighs he couldn't for the life of him think how to snap her out of it.

"Moonstar time to teach this person a lesson!"

Moonstar hesitated a little not really wanting to hurt Kai or Dranzer. She looked at Sam sadly.

"What are you waiting for? I said get him!" Sam said angrily.

"Sam don't you remember anything?" Kai asks hoping.

"What are you talking about!" she snaps.

"Don't you remember when we were young? When you gave me Dranzer so that I'd always remember our friendship." He continued.

Sam looked at the red phoenix in front of her and somehow it looked familiar but she couldn't think why. /-friendship? Dranzer? I-I can't re…-/ she shook her head.

"No! You're trying to confuse me!" she says confidently but angrily.

Though she tried to hide it Kai could see the confusion in her eyes.
/-it's working! Just a little more…-/ but the problem was he couldn't think of anymore. He searched his brain desperately to find something but he kept drawing a blank. Then it was as if the cloud of his mind lifted and he remember two things in particular.

"Sam, don't you remember the time I rescued you from Boris and the abbey or the time I first told you I loved you."

#Sam snap out of it!# both Dranzer and Moonstar say in unison.

Suddenly Sam begins to see pictures like mini flashbacks.
First one was of a young girl giving a young boy a bit chip then her being tied to a chair lying on her side and Kai untying her, the last one was of her and Kai sitting at a table having breakfast and her looking a little amazed.
Her expression then begins to soften.

"K…ai." She says before fainting.

Kai was at her side in an instant catching her before she hit the ground. Tyson -who had been watching it all from the window - ran out when he saw Sam fall.

"Is she okay?"

"I hope so." Kai replied picking her up and walking into the house.

After retrieving Dranzer and Moonstar Tyson followed him in.

/-Kathryn you will pay for your betrayal and you will pay dearly. As for you my dear Sam just a few more days and we will be together then nothing will break us apart not even the Bladebreakers.-/ Adam thought as he watched what happened.

He then walked back to his hotel room to plan his next move chuckling as he went.

Tyson walked into the room where everyone was Max, Kenny, Kathryn and Ray all had worried looks on their faces.

"Where's mum and dad?" Ben asks innocently.

"They… uh wanted to be alone for a while." He answers.

Kate and Ben smile at each other.

"We'll leave them alone then." Kate says.

The next morning after Tyson had explained what happened to everyone -excluding Kate and Ben- Ray went to see Sam was doing.

"How's she doing?"

"Still the same." Kai answered solemnly.

Ray could see the worry on Kai's face and it surprised him at how open Kai was being about his feelings.
/-Poor Kai, as soon as he gets Sam back all this happens.-/

"I'm sure she'll wake up soon. Sam's a tough girl." He reassures.

Kai nods but Ray could see that he didn't believe it.

"So what made you decide to leave Adam Kathryn?" Max asks curiously.

"I… uh… thought it was about time I moved on and let the past stay the past." She answered hoping it sounded convincing.

Although Max and Kenny had accepted her answer by a nod of their heads, Tyson was a bit suspicious.

/-Let the past be the past huh? I don't buy that for a minute.-/ he thought.

#Then what do you think her reason is?# Dragoon asks.

/-I don't know but I got a feeling that there something she's not telling us.-/

#Are you sure it's not because of something else?#

"What do you mean?" Tyson says not realising that spoken out loud.

Everyone turned to look at Tyson and he turns a little red.

/-Stupid dragon.-/

"You okay Tyson?" Kenny asks.

"Uh… yea sure Chief. I was uh… I was…" trying to think of something "Just about to go get some air." Quickly walking out the door.

"What's up with Tyson?" Ray asks as he walks in the room.

"If we knew that we'd all be a lot happier." Dizzi comments.

"Kathryn was telling us what she had been doing these last few years when all a sudden Tyson comes out with 'what do you mean'." Max explains.

"Speaking of Kathryn anyone notice where she went?" Kenny asked seeing her nowhere in sight.

"Maybe she followed Tyson." Ray offered.

"Anyone notice how close those two are getting?" Dizzi asks.

"Yea, it's like whenever she wants us to know something she always looks Tyson." Kenny agrees.

"You think there's something between them?" Ray asks.

"I don't know but I say we do a little investigating." Max says mischievously.

"That's not very nice Max, and besides I doubt Tyson would like us 'snooping' into his private life." Kenny says.

"Then we won't tell Tyson." Ray replies agreeing with Max.

Kenny sighs.
"Why do I even bother?"

The rest of the day went by pretty quickly with Ray and Max 'snooping' -as Kenny put it- around Tyson and Kathryn. Kai began get more and more worried that Sam wouldn't wake up and it didn't help that people were coming in and out every five minutes, in the end Kai locked the door. Kate and Ben went back to their house wanting to give there parents the 'time alone' they needed.
