A Plan, Awakenings


The only thing heard was the buzzing of the heart monitor, making sleeping hard for the gang.

The curtain flicked open as Ray opened it, his heart bouncing like a pinball, his throat felt blocked, and his legs felt like jelly.

What he saw made him feel weak at the knees and sick to the stomach.

A boy, a child slept on the hospital bed, the blanket reaching his waist.

His face had plasters for stitches on his face and his neck, even his fingers had cuts.

He moved his eyes along Kai's legs, his knee looked out of place, it was in a cast, his other leg, wasn't so bad.

Kai's chest moved up and down as he breathed, he looked so peaceful in Ray's eyes, his hair ruffled, and his forehead had a huge plaster along it.

Ray looked behind him and saw they were still asleep, he saw Kai's lips move as he slept, he was talking to himself again, in Russian, and it seemed Kai had gotten very good at that.

Then he switched it English, and back to Russian.

Ray's eyes wondered to Kai's chest, there through the gown Kai wore; he saw the bandage around his chest, for the rib he broke and for the wound.

Ray smiled as he saw his friend yawn, he must be enjoying his sleep, he deserved it, and Ray turned back to his seat, closed the curtain and fell back to his own serene dreams.

In the morning

Kai's eyes flickered open, wincing at the neon lights he focused and has a look around, a hospital, the smell told him so.

A curtain was drawn around him, he didn't know if someone was there or not, but cleared his raw throat and said in a very weak hoarse voice, "hello?"

No answer, he didn't try again.

He lay there on his back, feelings what was broken and what wasn't, his leg was badly broken, he could feel that when he woke, his chest stung like crazy and so did his ribcage.

His left wrist was in a cast and his stomach grumbled. He smiled faintly and thought, 'I hope this doesn't mean I'm become like Tyson...and Gary'

Kai then felt a presence, and the curtain was wiped away from his face, to see a nurse looking back at him, her long brown hair was in a long ponytail, her big green eyes looked as if they took up most of her face.

She smiled and said, "hungry, I brought some, scrabbled eggs, cereal, and toast, with some orange juice".

Kai sighed heavily, let her help him sit up, took the tray with his good hand and ate some toast and drank the orange juice in record time.

"Don't you like eggs?" she asked, Kai really didn't like her. "No, I can't eat the yolk", she smiled pleased and took the tray, but before she left she looked at him and said, "your friends are having breakfast in the cafeteria, I'll tell them your awake?"

Kai gave her a deadly death glare and said, "No", she left, shrugging her shoulders.

'their here? Why, I didn't even want them here, where's Sergio?'

Kai looked around; he saw their belongings on the chairs, blankets, pillows...

Kai sighed and saw the door open, sixteen eyes starred at him, surprised, angry, worried and mixed with other emotions.

The tension in the room was too much for anyone to say anything, when Max said, "How are you feeling", Kai looked over at him.

Kai looked away and said sarcastically, "peachy".

"Brilliant. Now tell us why you were running so fast", said Tyson, 'always getting to the point', thought Kai.

Kai didn't answer, he shook his head, "KAI", screamed Hilary, "we come all this way to have you run over and you still won't tell us what's going on, I give UP", and she was steaming.

"Chill for a sec will ya", say's Tyson. She huffs and then sits down in a chair.

"Kai, this running has to stop, now we've just had a word with the doctor, she say's you cant blade for this tournament on account for your leg injury", said Ray.

"That's not fair", whined Tyson "Its ok", said Kai quietly.

As Tyson and the other's started to walk off Ray walked up to Kai and said, "We were really worried, you do know that", and left.

With them out the door, Kai hadn't even noticed they had, left; something he remembered came back to him.

Flashback

I hugged her, I held her tight, not letting go, she looks up at me, her beautiful eyes, so sad, "Kai, make me a promise", I nod and say, "anything, I'll do anything you want"

She looks deeper into my eyes, "let them in", I stare at her, "I cant, they don't know what's it's been like".

Lillian looks even deeper, searching for something, "do it for me, for your parents, for yourself"

End Flashback

What did the want to know he didn't know?

Flashback

As Tyson and the other's started to walk off Tyson walked up to Kai and said, "We were really worried, you do know that", and left.

End Flashback

He didn't understand, what was he meant to tell them, they know what happened, and so what was the fuss about.

Bladebreakers

"That was not fun", said Tyson as he sat in the cafeteria, with trays of food, Tyson was even hungrier after that experience.

"I don't understand him, he's so complex, like a puzzle", said Kenny.

"He's like a mystery casserole, never know what's inside", said Tyson as he put a sauce over his food.

"If only he would just let us in, like he did with Sergio", said Hilary.

"Hil, Kai isn't an 'if', he's a wont and will, he's got a mind of his own", said Max.

"I wonder how he knows Sergio, and where he is for that fact", wondered Kenny.

"Maybe he was at the abbey", spoke up Dizzi.

"Maybe, I better check" and Kenny started typing.

"Why do you think he was at the cemetery", asked Ray

"I think his parents are buried there" said Tyson as he forked over Hilary's food.

"That's harsh Tyson, hey, that's mine", Max seized his bowl of hot soup from Tyson's grasp.

"Well, at least we know he's safe", said Hilary

"And not going anywhere soon", giggled Max

In a cold icy place

"Soon, very soon", repeated a man, his coat flung off him, his mask covered his eyes, his purple hair brushed his face.

A girl of fourteen, sat next to him comfortably, her long hair the colour of the night and hung on her shoulders, with a streak of the colour of Kai's hair in the back.

"Why now", she asked.

The man looked at her and said, "Because dear girl, he is vulnerable, and weak...but those Bladebreakers, they care for him to much", he said with disgust, looking at the girls own crimson eyes.

The girl looked at the man; he had raised her as his own, teaching her how to fight, blade and much, much more, he starred more closely into her face and said softly, "you don't know how much you look like your mother".

The girl wasn't fazed by this; he had been saying that since a new plan was devised to get Kai back.

"Maybe we should wait, until Uncle Voltaire is-"

"NO, this is the perfect time"

The girl blushed, 'how stupid could I get', she thought; he had never called her smart or clever but stupid girl with no brains.

"We'll do it now, the time it right", he repeated, she nodded and looked out the window, noticing for the first time the rain had stopped.

In Japan

"Hello?"

"Hi, Mr D, it's Tyson here"

"Oh! How is it then?"

"Not very well, listen, Kai's in hospital, we met a man who's claims he's Kai's old friend, a Sergio character, and we need you to pick us up some time"

"Where's this Sergio Tyson"

"We don't know, once we were asleep, he disappeared"

"Oh dear, listen, I'll be right over once I can, just hold on tight"

"Yes sir, oh, Mr D, thank you"

And Tyson hung up.

Kai's POV

Why should I tell them, what would that help with.

I'm my own person, why should I tell them anything, it's a load of junk they way the talk about me like that.

Why the hell should I tell them my life story, it would only bring more questions and-

And more memory's, of how I was what I was taught, and what I am.

And the torment I hate, I hate this world, I hate this life and most of all I hate MYSELF!!!

Why don't just pick up their feet and move along, this is my business, my life a life I never had before a life I wanted and I life I'll always keep.

But that look, it sends 'shivers down my spine'.

Ray, what's gotten into you? And Hilary and Tyson, Max, Kenny.

They weren't like this before, only after...I can't say it and I wont, it's to bad I'm this way, why can't they just live with it!!

What happened to Sergio?

I wonder where he went; maybe he thinks I can handle it from here? No, he wouldn't he promised, he said so, we agreed never to leave each other.

Okay, what on earth is Boris up to? I'm not telling a single person! I have to agree with some the last chapter is the best and will always be the best chapter ever!!

Kerei Kitsune: I forgive you for what you said, even if I was a bit tweaked at you. But I'm glad you pointed it out. Thanx

Kai indomisha: I like these names a lot, you're very good at making them unlike me, here's what I fancy, BlueBlood and PhoenixTears. I'm glad you gave me some names, my twin isn't any help!!
