Thank you for all the reviews!! To some queries, I don't have an account on fiction press, should i? The poems I put on the chapters are mine, I wrote them, all bow down to my greatness! The fact that Kai keeps running into Tyson's dad is a coincidence, he's the only one out of them that I think could hold Kai in a struggling situation, so I use him! (Come on, he looks solidly built!) Kai is not obsessed with Tadashi; I would like to point out! He feels connected to her because of what they have been through at the abbey, and because Boris raped her too (previous chapters!). She is all Kai has left from his past, even if she tortured him, it wasn't like Leon, who enjoyed hurting Kai specifically, Tadashi just enjoyed her job, not just hurting Kai. Plus Tadashi likes Kai, there's a definite thing there, but it doesn't have to be romantic! It could be sisterly or whatever, but that's up to the characters. Review please, over 500 now!does a little happy dance (besides, you forget that this is my story, and how I write it is up to me, and if I lose reviewers over it, then that is their problem, I'm writing coz I want to, not for others)

The silence was stifling, drowning the air in the room.

Kenny broke the silence. "It's just not possible! Kai carries Dranzer with him everywhere! Dranzer isn't back at the house; Kai has to have his beyblade!"

Ray was calculating everything in his head. What Kenny said was right, Kai didn't like to leave Dranzer, and he hadn't left Dranzer at Tyson's, so what happened? Ray wasn't stupid, and his mind was quick, so it was only a fraction more time before everything snapped together. The thought made him go cold, it couldn't be? But then it was the only option he could think of.

"Guys" he said softly. Everyone turned to him, including the slightly hysterical Kenny, breathing hard to get back under control.

"I know what happened to Dranzer," they all waited with quizzical expressions, "I think Dranzer was on that ship."

"Dude, you can't be serious?" argued Tyson.

"I am, think about it! Kai had Dranzer, now he doesn't; he tried to get back to the ship! He left Dranzer and saved Tadashi and Voltaire!"

"Oh Kai!" said Mariah, she knew how much a bitbeast meant to someone who had one, she couldn't survive without Galux. It would be like losing part of herself.

"Shit Kai! Who knew you could make that sacrifice!" murmured Max.

"We need to give Kai more credit; we should know him better then to think he'd leave people to die! He may not be social, and he may have issues, but he does what needs to be done. If any of us doubt he wouldn't sacrifice something important to him to save a life, then we should feel shamed!"

Everyone stared at Kenny with eyes wide open. But he was right, they did know Kai better.

"I hope he doesn't do anything stupid when he wakes up." Added Hilary, and they all agreed.

Kai continued to dream. He had moved from the dream where he couldn't reach Dranzer and Black Dranzer, and now was in an even more taunting dream.

It was an old memory, from when he was very little. He was in a back garden, trees, flowers, sunshine, even butterflies were abundant. It was beautiful.

"Kai, Kai!" he heard someone calling his name, the voice was melodious, and he recognised it.

"Mama?" but it wasn't Kai who said it. It was someone younger. A knee high boy rushed through the garden, his two toned blue hair waved in the slight breeze as he ran to the back of the house. A woman knelt down at the door, her arms open as she received her son. Kai couldn't see any details of her, she seemed distant, like she wasn't really there as she picked up the boy and held him. A man came out to join them, and Kai recognised his deep voice as he ruffled the boy's hair and laughed. Kai watched as they were a family, doing what families did, loved each other.

Then the dream went dark. When the light came back, the house was burning. The small boy was no longer held in the arms of his parents, but a stern, grey haired man. Kai felt his hackles rise and started towards them. Then the man turned his back to Kai, and the boy looked over the broad shoulder. Twin mahogany eyes met. The smaller pair pleaded with the older. Tears streamed down the small, unmarked face as the man stepped into the house. The light in the mahogany eyes was all that remained visible after the pair entered the darkness. Kai fell to his knees. Where had the happiness gone, the bliss? Tears streamed down Kai's own face before he realised it. Blackness swirled round him and enveloped him. Dranzer was too weak to help the pain, too far away. Kai welcomed the shadows.

Kai woke up with a start. His cheeks were damp and his eyelids felt heavy. He groaned softly as he tried to sit up. Hands reached out to help him.

"S'ok, I can handle it" he said groggily. What was wrong with him?

"How are you feeling?" asked Samantha. Kai couldn't seem to focus right.

"What did you give me?" he asked, his tongue felt like lead, he could hardly move.

"Something to stop you thrashing about in your sleep, a sedative."

A rumble started deep in Kai's chest, a growling lecture was inevitable. Samantha put a stop to it by placing the face mask over his startled mouth and pushing him back down to lie on his bed. Kai could hardly move to stop her.

"I tooold you I don't wan anyt'ing, ssssstop it!" he slurred, he was getting tired. He looked around the room with slow eyes, but Samantha was the only one there.

Sam noticed his confused face, "I sent them to get breakfast when you started crying."

Crying? Was he? Oh yeah, his cheeks had been wet, his dream.......

Samantha smiled, using gas administered by the mask was a good way to make sure he got the rest he needed. His body was too tired for him to go making demands on it. He needed rest and she would make sure he got it. It was an advantage being a nurse, she could assist the hospital, and help Kai. She moved a lock of his messy bangs out of the masks strap. She would do anything to help this boy, its what he deserved after what he had been through. At the least. She was glad Voltaire had been sent to a very secure unit, no escape this time. That man needed to suffer for what he had let be done to his own grandson. She sighed and sat down to wait for the others return from breakfast.

The gang were seated in the blandly decorated hospital cafeteria, trying to eat the even blander food. Tyson seemed to be the only one hungry enough to actually consume it, the others just ignored the plates in front of them. The adults had gotten a table to themselves, and were quietly discussing something, leaving the teens to talk about anything. The topic was obvious, Kai.

"I never knew Kai's past was that bad" stated Mariah; she seemed so down even the pink 'ears' on her hair tie drooped.

"Its ok Mariah, none of us did for a long time! We knew that his life at the abbey wasn't a piece of cake..."

"Cake?" asked Tyson hopefully.

Ray shook his head and carried on, "but we didn't know it was this dark, or dangerous. Kai's been through a lot, and however frustrating it is for us, we understand why he is. I just hope the recent, um; attack hasn't pushed him back from getting close to us."

Mariah nodded, looking deeply into her drink, what they had told her made her shiver. Ray noticed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She sighed gratefully; Ray was so good to her.

Tyson finished his plate of food and was eyeing up the greasy bacon and eggs on Max's. Max smiled and pushed his plate to Tyson, who immediately stuck in. he paused long enough to get in his own view.

"Kai's a strong person, he can handle anything thrown at him, we've all seen that! I just hope losing Dranzer doesn't shake him up too bad" he went back to eating.

They all murmured their agreement, but each was unsure how Kai would react. They waited for Tyson to finish eating before they decided to head back to the room to check on Kai. They had to make the best of the time they had before they were told to go home. The adults watched them leave without following; the kids needed time with Kai, so the adults let them have it.

Tyson walked behind Hilary, watching her rather then anything else. He had finally decided that he liked her; however annoying she was, but then he enjoyed the arguments they had instead of being mad about them like he would be with anyone else. He loved her hair, the colour and shine to it. The way the gaudy hospital lights highlighted some of the lighter tones. Her pale skin, he wanted to touch that, stroke it, feel how soft it really was. He glanced at her long pale legs that flowed from her short skirt, then looked up quickly, that had sent some very new feelings through his body. He hoped he didn't blush too much! Maybe he should talk to his dad, he would know what was happening. He continued to follow, trying hard not to stare at the way Hilary moved. The walls, they were better to look at, and less confusing, so he watched them go by.

Hilary wasn't completely oblivious; she knew something was up with Tyson, for a start he argued with her less, choosing to keep quiet when a potential argument was around the corner. He was less fun! She also noticed he kept staring at her, and several times she thought she must have had something on her face, but instead of the usual reaction to that embarrassing situation of him laughing at her, he warmly, if hesitantly smiled at her. Did he want something? Maybe she should talk to Samantha about it; she would know what was going on. She wondered if he was looking at her right now. She turned her head till she could see, and found him walking behind her, staring at the walls, a faint blush on his tanned cheeks. She felt herself begin to go red and snapped her head back to look ahead of her again. She really had to talk to Samantha, and maybe Mariah. The two of them had gotten buddy.

Kai continued to sleep in the drug induced blackout. His thoughts dulled. Only one problem, Kai had been trained to fight certain drugs, and his instincts kicked in. he swam against the sleepy current that continued to drag him under. He had wings, why wings? Always in his dreams now he had wings, usually grey, sometimes black, sometimes red. Here they were black, spanning out to fade into the darkness surrounding him. He felt like he was falling, he couldn't fight, he didn't have the energy. He went against his training, and welcomed deep sleep.

Fallen

To fade away from this world

To exist and no longer be

To close the door behind you

And forget where you left the key

To see Death on her midnight steed

To see souls taken by the scythe

To see lightning strike the same place thrice

To find the secrets hidden in life

To feel Deaths bittersweet kiss

To feel the knife as it runs deep

To lose all the things you ever knew

That mortality won't let you keep

Rivers of tears run crimson

The skies all turn to dust

As the earth is torn asunder

And screams from deaths own lust

To know the joy of dying

To feel the pain un-foretold

To know forgotten memories

As you fill in that mould

To walk forever in twilight

Black wings to mark your soul

As you stay lost for eternity

Endless bells will ring and toll

Nothing will last forever

Eternity will end and fold

Something new will spring forth

To fill the void, to warm the cold

Death will die by my hands

To be reborn like the Phoenix in myth

From the ashes the circle continues

The fallen angel will always drift
