Tears of a Tortured Soul
Chapter 13
Ray's POV
That had to of been the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life...it all happened so fast...Voltaire....Boris....The Demolition Boys...never had I felt fear like I did back at that abbey. We're just lucky that Kenny recorded it on Dizzi. Now we have all the proof we need to destroy Biovolt. Now that the abbey's gone there's no place for the Demolition Boys to train or hold there base. Then again...they did say they weren't going to work with Boris anymore....
Flashback
"So what are you going to do now?" asked Ray. Both teams were sitting in the waiting room of the hospital, waiting on the news of Kai's condition.
"Well we're not going to work with Biovolt anymore...that's over...we want to start again as a new team. We're going to do the exact opposite of what Boris wanted us to do." Tala replied.
The Bladebreakers smiled.
"That's good...." said Ray. Then Tyson's eyes lit up.
"Hey what are we gonna do about the Championships? We still have to compete you know!" Kenny nodded and started typing on Dizzi.
"That's true but according to Mr. Dickinson, the Championships have been postponed until further notice. Apparently they want to wait until this whole mess with Biovolt gets settled" Max nodded.
"Yeah and besides doesn't Biovolt like own the stadium?"
"You're right. And Boris is the president of the whole World Tournament Board." Ian said. They nodded.
"Yeah..." Tyson drifted off.
"Tyson." Said Tala. The blue haired, genki boy looked up at the red-head.
"When we do compete in the Worlds...it will be a fair fight...that I can assure you. As to who will be the victor...well....we'll have to see about that." Tala smirked and Tyson broke out into a grin.
"Yeah! You bet Tala! But I'm not going easy on you!" Tala grinned and sat back in his seat.
"I don't expect you too." While outside, Tala was cool and collected...on the inside he was the exact opposite. Inside he was filled with worry for his friend. Although he had injuries, they were not as severe as Kai's.
End Flashback
I'm glad they're on our side now...at least until we compete against one another. The Demolition Boy's have really turned thing's around for themselves. They're a lot different from the time we first met them. Back then they were cold and heartless and they did anything it took to win. Even if it meant cheating. But now...they show emotion and stick to the rules. Just like Kai...I can't help but smile when I think about how Kai used to be when he first joined the team. So cold...so heartless...like no emotion existed...but all along I knew that deep inside of him was a different person. A much more kind and gentle person who was begging to be brought out into the world. It took a long time...but I was finally able to bring at least a part of that person out. All the others thought Kai was just a heartless jerk but when they saw him being beaten by Boris...when they saw the tears in his eyes...they knew. They knew Kai was just like every other human being. One that feels emotions...only Kai showed his emotion in a different way. Instead of crying like a lot of people he just walks away and sulks by himself. I know that all Kai ever wanted...was to be comforted by someone who cares...and...he got that...when he came to me. I love Kai...I always will...and sometimes I ask myself why I love him. I mean sure...it's not everyday you fall in love with someone like Kai...at least that's what everyone else would say. But I...I didn't fall in love with the cold shell that Kai put on....I fell in love with the warm heart that lay inside...the kind person I knew was there. And now is there...and I hope...always will be.
End Ray's POV
Normal POV
Everyone gave a sigh of relief as they exited Kai's hospital room. He was safe...
'I'm glad he's ok...really glad...' Max thought. The group walked to the waiting room where the Demolition Boys sat. Tala rose when they walked in.
"How is he?" he asked.
The Bladebreakers smiled.
"He's ok. He'll be out of here soon. He's asleep now..." Ray replied. Tala gave a light smile and nodded while sitting back down in his seat. The captain of the Demolitoion Boys couldn't help but wish that he could go and talk to Kai...tell him everything...how sorry he was for ever betraying his friend...but it wasn't so easy with the Bladebreakers around. No matter how much it seemed that the opposite team was beginning to trust them...that look of distrust was still there.
A few days passed and Kai was finally released from the hospital. The Bladebreakers were overjoyed that their friend would be ok. As they walked out of the hospital Kai had a light smile on his face. Ray was all smiles that day as he held his boyfriends hand. They took a taxi back to the hotel where they were greeted by Mr. Dickison. The elder man had a huge smile on his face as he stood up to meet his team.
"Kai you're looking much better. Glad to see you back son." Kai nodded.
"Thank you Mr. Dickinson."
"Hey Mr. D. What happened at the police station?" Tyson asked. Mr. Dicikson's eyes lit up. For the past two days, Mr. Dickison and Kenny had taken the evidence of the Voltaire and Boris's actions to the police. Since Voltaire and Boris where still alive even after the explosion, they obviously fought against it, denying it ever happening. Yet Kenny had excellent evidence from video to pictures.
"Voltaire and Boris have both been arrested." Mr. Dickinson announced. The boys eyes lit up.
"Really? That's great!" Tyson said happily.
"Yeah awesome!" added Max. Ray looked up at Kai and saw that the captain had a look of relief on his face but then his face went dark.
"So what happens to me? Voltaire's gone so..." Mr. Dickison cut him off.
"Don't you worry about that Kai. I've already sorted that out but I need you're approval. If you would like I can take custody of you. Of course we would find and apartment for you and Ray." Kai raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Ray? but..." Ray smiled.
"I'm going to be living in Japan from now on so I'll need a place to live too." Kai gave a small smile and nodded.
"Ok then." he said. Mr. Dickison smiled.
"Excellent. Then why don't you boys go on up to you're hotel room and I'll bring the papers up for you to sign Kai." The blue haired boy nodded. The team headed up to their rooms.
The team had dinner and was soon off to bed but for some going to sleep wasn't so easy.
"You still see him don't you?" Kai nodded. He sat up, knees pulled against his chest on the bed. Ray sat next to him, his arms around Kai's shoulders. He leaned his head against his boyfriends arm.
"Even after all that's happened...I still can't get rid of these images that appear in my head every time I close my eyes..." Ray sighed. He wished so badly that he could help..but when it came to dreams there wasn't much he could do except comfort the boy. Kai sighed and laid down on the bed.
"You should get some rest...don't worry about me." Ray pouted.
"How can I not worry about you." Kai looked up at the kitten and gave a slight smile.
"Just get some sleep. Please..." Ray sighed but did what he was asked.
"G'night love." he said, kissing Kai lightly on the lips and falling asleep. Kai sighed as he watched his love fall asleep. He gently moved a stray hair from his face and smiled. Then a noise was herd, startling Kai. The crimson eyed captain rose from his bed and walked to the window. Outside there appeared to be nothing but then he saw a movement from the bushes.
'Someone's outside.' he thought, opening the window and stepping out on to the balcony. He looked back at his lover who lay sleeping peacefully on the bed. He sighed and jumped off the balcony, safely on to the ground below. He herd the rustling again and directed his attention to the bushes.
"Who's there!" he demanded.
"Don't be so rough Kai...." A calm voice said. Kai's eyes widened as he recognized the voice. Then he smirked.
"You could of just called...Tala." The red headed smirked and stepped out from behind the bushes.
"But why be original?" Kai stifled a laugh at his friends antics. Tala was as sarcastic as ever. Tala stopped for a moment to look over his friend. Then after a small silence he spoke.
"You're looking well." He stated. Kai shrugged and leaned up against a nearby tree.
"I guess..." he replied.
"What are you going to do now?" the red head asked. Kai looked up, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"They're gone now. Boris and Voltaire. We don't have to worry about them anymore." Kai sighed.
"Or so we like to think." Tala raised an eyebrow.
"What? You think they might escape and come after us?" Kai shrugged.
"Maybe. Anything is possible with those two.""Good point....are you still scared?"
"Of what?"
"Don't play dumb with me Kai. I know you too well by now." Kai smirked.
"That you do..." Kai's head fell down to his chest as he stared at the ground.
"Well..." Tala urged trying to get answer out of his friend.
"Yeah I'm scared...." Kai's voice came out almost weak. Tala approached his friend.
"Scared that any moment now...he could come back. And I'll have to face that pain again...and I don't want that again...ever." This was very unlike Kai...not once in the past few years had the boy opened up to him like this. Not since they were little. Back then, they told each other everything. But that was expected of young children who'd just lost every bit of happiness they ever had. Their childhood taken from them.
"You're right...it could happen....but that doesn't mean we should live in fear. You know that better than anyone Kai." The crimson-eyed boy nodded.
"I guess..."
"I'm sorry." Kai's eyes widened and he looked up at his friend, shocked by the words that escaped his mouth.
"What?" he asked. Tala looked into the eyes of his friend. They showed nothing but seriousness in them.
"I'm sorry for being so cold to you...after what we've been through in our lives....I shouldn't of done that."
Kai smirked.
"I thought I'd be the one to say that to you."
"Well you're not now are you?" Tala joked
"Guess not."
"Friends?" Tala held out his hand. Kai smiled.
"Forever." They shook hands but before either of them knew it they were in a tight embrace.
"So...how's the neko-jin in bed?" Kai's face turned red and he punched his friend in the shoulder. The red head laughed backing away.
"I take that means pretty good?"
"Shut up Tala." Kai smirked and for a few minutes longer the two talked. No longer as enemies but as what they had always been...friends.
