Those Amber Eyes

No one understood how Kai felt those past few days, Mr Dickinson had arrived but they couldn't leave till the weather cleared.

Kai kept to himself, leaving within a second his name was mentioned, he hadn't gotten the nerve to tell them about Sergio yet.

And at the moment he didn't intend to either.

Mr Granger came a day after Mr Dickinson did, making Tyson more happy and jumpy then ever, but luckily, Kai slept with Ray in their room, in a hotel.

They asked questions, but still no answers, he wouldn't give any, his mind was a void of empty space, he didn't care who was there, but what filled his mind once again.

But something got Kai in a real thwarted temper; they had trapped him within their own games, cornering him like a rat in a trap.

He was seated on the lounge couch, his mind wondering his past, his future and present.

When they all came in, Tyson, Ray, Max, Kenny, Hilary, Mr Dickinson and Mr Granger, all came up to him, sat down and Tyson asked.

"Who's Sergio?"

Kai looked up at their faces, they had asked him straight there, no dawdling nothing, just asked, his eyes scanning their faces of emotions, a sea of emotions.

Kai looked back down, "Please tell us Kai, we need to know" said Max.

Kai looked at Max's enthusiastic face and said, "He was a friend, just a friend".

Tyson shook his head, "He was more then that, we can tell", Kai death glared at him and then said, "I don't care what you think, and he was friend, that's all".

"How came you'll tell him your problems but not us", asked Ray, Kai looked long and hard at Ray.

He saw a pair of amber eyes stare straight at him, as his eyes met these two golden eyes they didn't move, it was like a starring contest Kai still looked at the eyes and said, "He knew what I was put through, he saw what happened to me".

Ray couldn't help but look into those crimson eyes, the dreaded eyes of pain of suffering, he felt Driger purr in his pocket, and Ray felt it grow harder as he kept on look intently at Kai.

"Why didn't he stop it", he said, he voice almost a threaten sound.

Kai's gaze kept still, something mysterious was going on between these two teens, and Kai felt Dranzer hum, his humming grew louder to Kai's ears as he kept his gaze.

"He was...part of it", he said so softly nearly no one heard, but they did, and they where taken aback.

"Kai, what do you mean", came Ray's voice. Their gazes still locked, Kai squinted before focusing on Ray's eyes.

"He gave me most of my scars, him and Boris", his voice still so light, with a tint of anger, grief and something else, humor, only Ray heard it the emotions in his voice.

"Why were you with him, how did he become your friend", asked Ray, no one spoke, Ray seemed to be covering most of their own questions and thoughts.

Kai paused, picking his right words, "For some reason, I knew it wasn't his fault, but Voltaire's, but it was Voltaire's fault Sergio was what he was, he brainwashed him of my fathers death, and I forgave him".

Ray's, intensity of his look increased as Kai spoke, "How does Voltaire know him?" he asked.

Kai kept the stare and said, "He was my father's best man, best friend".

There was a chorus of gasps from the others; Ray looked good and hard at Kai's eyes before looking away.

As he did, Kai did the same, his face down, his imperturbable mind became an empty book, memories flooded inside of him, making him bubble with annoyance, hate and other smaller emotions he couldn't pin point.

"Kai, I don't understand", said Mr Dickinson.

Kai didn't glance up but said, "neither do I, but he was my only hope for a life, and he was gone, I don't know where or why, but he's gone and I don't know where".

His words were filled with so much feeling a passion clicked inside of him, his passion for a normal life would never be lit, but always blown out like a candle.

Kai wasn't meant to have a normal life, he was meant to be what he is, his father's son, his mother's son, and his grandfather's creation, when with Sergio.

He was more then a machine, a monster, he was person, a human who could feel as much as the next living thing, when with Sergio he felt like he was able to do anything, he didn't feel guilty for what he did, but protected and fixed firmly inside him, but the feeling he felt for Sergio was like a father.

But these past day's, Kai felt a sense of dread of something evil coming, but he was never able to discriminate where it came from, or who it was, just it wasn't good and it had something to do with the other BitBeast in his pocket.

Mr Dickinson stood by Kai, his hand on the shaking boys shoulder, Kai was shaking, his teeth clenched and his fists tightened together almost afraid of what he was to do next.

"It's ok my boy, we're here for you, it's ok", but Kai was shaking his head, "No, it's not ok, something's happened, he knows where I am, something happened", he was on the bridge of screaming or having a fit.

"Kai, your not alone", whispered Tyson for the first time.

Kai shook his head harder, "No, I'm alone, I'll always be alone".

Ray did something impossible and unexpected, he took hold of Kai, and embraced him, not hurting his chest with care and not knocking his leg, not hard but almost comforting him in all his suffering.

Kai stopped and put his arms around Ray and spilled with tears, making Ray's clothes damp.

After a few minutes of this embracement, Ray looked into his eyes like Lillian did, searching for something that wasn't there anymore, that was lost with all the hardness Kai had been put under.

Kai looked at Ray's amber eyes and smiled softly at the eyes of such worry and to be uneasy by Kai's actions.

Kai leaded onto Ray's, shoulder, closed his eyes and began to mumble, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know who to talk to...what to do...I was so lost...so alone...I'm so sorry", his words got mixed in his tears.

In Russia

Toni hesitated before pushing the big wooden door open; a pair of blue eyes stared back at her, the eyes shifted as Toni walked in.

"Tala"

There was a sound of movement in the shadows; Toni heard the clanking of something against a wall and then feet.

Walking towards her and in front of her stood Tala, his blade in his hand; he looked at Toni, and then looked away, "Tala, what's wrong?'

Toni had known Tala for some time now, he was almost like a brother, but Toni's real brother and she would never meet yet.

Tala shifted from his two feet, his eyes always moving, never wanting to look into Toni's own eyes.

"Tala, are you alright about what Boris is doing?"

It was a question Tala had been dreading since Russia, the Bladebreakers had enlightened him to be a kid, but still under Boris's wing, he had felt caged and misplaced.

"I don't know what I feel anymore Toni" he answered her, his head held down low.

"But, he's the enemy, isn't he, Kai, he's not welcome, he is the opponent?"

Tala clenched his free fist, Wolborg in his other hand.

"Yes Toni, he the enemy", he sighed, Toni was just too simple for him, he looked after her, protected her from danger and any real harm, she was one of Boris's best creations after him and Kai of course.

"You do want to get Black Dranzer?"

Toni had heard all about Black Dranzer and the tournament, but, she wasn't there, she was in the abbey, away from it all.

"I'm not sure anymore, I know I'm strong, but, no one can control Black Dranzer, it's like it takes over you, like it did to Kai"

Toni understood, Tala had never felt feelings till after the Russian Tournament, but Toni didn't know what to feel for her friend, she didn't know what to do, what to say.

"I can" she whispered.

Tala looked up at her, trying not to lock eye contact.

"You, but how, you've already got Drio"

Toni nodded, "Boris said I could be just as strong as the both of you, Kai and you Tala, I am-"

But Tala cut her off, "No, you will never be what you think you are, you haven't even met him Toni, and you don't know what he was like, what he is like!", his voice rising from anger and frustration.

Toni was taken aback, this wasn't Tala she knew, the kind guy who helped her through Biovolt, this was anger talking to her, pure anger for Kai.

"You hate him", she said, in a matter-of-factly kind of voice.

Tala looked at her and said, his own voice rising in such hate, "He was always better then I, always, I always second best, you'll never understand how that feels Toni, because you're the best, just like KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Toni stared at him, and quickly turned around and ran.

Done!!

And if you're wondering I had to get Kai into some kind of accident and the only thing I could think of was to make him get hit by a car...again.

You could say I gave the whole thing away hey.

I'll explain about Toni and Kai later.

Tala has some problems but, I LUV Tala!!!!!

And that Tala is in a very bad mood, see more of them later.
