'…' talking

"…" thinking

/… Bit beast talking

Is there really light at the end of the tunnel?

Kai just stared at the werewolf in front of him, frozen to the spot, as it cried out. He could hear all that was happening around him. A group of policemen were trying to clear the crowd. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to look at the riot-man.

'You shouldn't be anywhere near here. Come on let's-' his words were cut short because of the agonising cry that filled the ears of every man women and child present. Kai attention went straight back to the werewolf. As another well-armed group of riot men approached Ray with extreme caution, he felt a warm glow from inside his pocket. He reached in side and pulled out the beyblade he had found on the floor just after Ray had disappeared; Driger. He stared at the bit chip as it glowed green.

/Kai… please you must help my master please! the bit-beast pleaded.

"But how?" Kai thought desperately.

Driger thought for a moment. /Me… release me! Kai took out his launcher.

"Are you sure you know what your doing?" he asked the White Tiger.

/Yes. Without another word, Kai launched Driger and as soon as the blade hit the ground the majestic Beast emerged.

As Tyson watched his team captain disappear into the group of riot-men he heard his name being called. He wheeled around to see Max and Kenny running towards him.

'What's going on?' Max asked. 'And where's Kai? Wasn't he with you?'

'Kai's over there and when Ray ran off he found some teenagers and, well you can guess the rest.' He paused letting this information sink into there minds. 'Know the police with riot gear on are trying to stop him from killing again. Some old lady saw it all and, er, she was scratched by him so… ' he trailed off realising that what he was just about to say was true; the only way to stop the old lady from becoming a Werewolf herself was to kill the one who scratched her. Max and Kenny understood what he was about to say and they were wishing that there were some way they could stop the old lady from transforming without losing Ray. It was no use.

As Driger emerged the police backed away and stared at the wounded Werewolf as his entire body became engulfed in a green glow. Still roaring in pain, the beast slowly began to change before their very eyes into a boy of about 15 years of age. The roar turned into a human cry.

"Driger?" Kai asked in disbelief. "What are you doing?"

/I am helping him come back. Driger replied as his green glow slowly began fade from his masters' body.

Ray sat silently on the ground staring up at his bit-beast, blood flowing from ever wound on his torso.

Kai cautiously stepped forward. 'Ray?' he asked. There came no reply.

At the same moment Tyson, Max and Kenny managed to push their way through the police barrier and came to stand at Kais side.

Ray slowly looked up at them. And they could see the pain and sadness in his eyes. He looked about him; he seemed lost and seemed to take on the appearance of a child who was so.

Suddenly out of nowhere a women from the crown behind them struggled to get to the once-werewolf.

'Murderer!' she screamed. 'Murderer! You murdered my son!' The police struggled to keep her at bay. Ray stared wide-eyed at her for a moment then looked at his team mates.

'I… I did didn't I.' It was not a question but it got answer. Kai, Max, Tyson and Kenny nodded. He looked down at his hands that lay in his lap. They were covered in blood that was not only from those whom he killed but also from him. He was losing a lot of blood and he began to feel weak and his vision began to blur. He looked at his blood covered chest and then up at his friends. He gave them a weak smile before his eyes closed for the last time.

Tyson, Max, Kenny and Kai stared wide-eyed as their team-mate; their friend began slip in through the gate that led to the after-life. The paramedics soon came forward with a stretcher to carry Ray to the Hospital.

'Please,' said the head paramedic, to a policeman near by, 'get those boys away from here!' he ordered seeing that the four boys looked very distressed at seeing their friend like this. 'Now!' he practically shouted when the policeman didn't move.

As they began to take Ray to the ambulance waiting, the police officer in charge said that they were disrupting a crime scene. The head paramedic stared wide-eyed at him.

'Can't you see this boy needs medical attention?!' He shouted back, angrily. 'Stuff your stupid crime scene!'

The paramedics put Ray in to the ambulance. As they past Tyson and the others one of them turned to group.

'I'm afraid only one of you can come in the ambulance.' He said.

They looked at each other and soon Kai stepped forward. 'I'll go.' He said quietly, and then he turned to the others. 'I'll call you from the hospital.' Without another word he followed the paramedic into the back of the ambulance.

Tyson put the phone down. He turned to the others who all sat on the floor of the living room of Hiwatari Mansion. 'That was Kai.' He said.

'Tyson?' Ruth asked after a short moment of silence from the navy haired boy. They had told her everything. 'Tyson what is it?'

'Guys,' Tyson started hesitantly. 'Kai said he is going to stay at the hospital tonight because the doctors said that Ray is in a… a critical condition and that we should stay here and he would call us tomorrow.'

The next morning, Tyson was pacing up and down in the living room by the phone. Max and Kenny were trying to take their minds off what had happened last night by playing a game of chess. Ruth was reading a book she found on werewolves.

'Ah! Why hasn't he called yet?!' Tyson practically shouted.

'Maybe he hasn't spoken to the doctors yet.' Ruth said calmly. Then she looked at the watch on her wrist. 'Or maybe he's still asleep; it is only five thirty.' She said going back to her book.

At ten o'clock, the phone rung. Tyson answered before it got the chance to ring twice.

'Hello?' he said somewhat nervously.

'Yea... really? Ok we'll be there as soon as possible.' He then hung up and turned to find the others all staring at him. 'Well?' he said. 'You heard me; let's get that to that hospital.'

Everyone was on their feet and in their shoes and coats in less than five minutes.

'Kai!' Tyson called, spotting the blue haired teen immediately when they finally found the ward. The group ran up to their friend.

'What's going on, buddy?' Tyson asked.

Kai looked up at him and they could see he hardly got any sleep the night before. 'The doctor hasn't said anything yet but he said that as soon as he knows what's happened he'll tell me.' He replied with a small yawn.

As soon as he said this a doctor came over. 'Oh. Are you he for news on Ray Kon?' he asked. They all nodded the Kai stood.

'Yeah,' he said looking annoyed at the doctor. 'They're here for the news you said you'd give me an hour ago.' He growled.

'Oh.' Was all the doctor could say. 'Well,' he continued. 'Ray has gone through a lot and, after having to resuscitate him several times, he managed to pull through!' he said with a smile. The teens all smiled happily; something they hadn't done for the past twenty four hours.

'Great!' Tyson said. 'Can we go see him?'

'Ray is sleeping at the moment but you may see him if you are quiet.' So he let the group to room 109; Ray's room. They entered and the doctor left.

They all took seats around the room. Ray lay on the bed with bandages all over his torso. He had a needle going into his left hand which was attached to a small sack of liquid. His long raven hair was loose and his Yin-Yang sweat band was not on his forehead as it usually was.

After a few moments of silence Tyson rouse and spoke quietly. 'Maybe we should go.'

The others nodded and began to leave, when a small voice spoke.

'You don't have to leave if you don't want to.' They all turned to see Ray sat up looking at them.

'Ray!' Tyson said happily going to side of the bed with a huge grin on his face. 'You were awake?'

'Yeah.' Ray said grinning sheepishly.

Everyone sat back down again and they talked about anything and everything.

After a long time of talking the nurse came in and shooed the group out saying that Ray needed his bandages changing.

'Ok, see later Ray.' Ruth said.

'Yeah, bye Ray.' Max and Tyson said in unison.

'See ya.' Kenny said and Kai just smiled at the neko-jin.

'Bye.' Ray said quietly to no one in particular.

The next day, Mr. Dickinson rang to ask about Ray;

'I heard about it on the news.' He said over the phone. 'Is Ray alright?'

'Ray's fine,' Max replied in a happy tone. 'The doctor said he can come home soon.'

'Oh, thank goodness.' Mr. Dickinson replied from the other end. 'Well, please call me when he comes home or if you hear anything from the hospital, won't you?'

'Sure will, sir.' Max replied.

'Well, goodbye Max, hope to hear from you boys soon.'

'You will. Bye.' Max said before hanging up.

That afternoon the phone and this time Kenny answered it.

'Hello?' he asked.

'Hello,' a male voice said from the other end of the line. 'I'm calling from the Tokyo hospital about a Ray Kon.'

'Is He alright?' Kenny squeaked nervously.

'Yes, yes.' The man said encouragingly, hearing the nervousness. 'He's just fine, I just need to know how and when you would like him home.'

'Oh,' Kenny sighed in relief. 'Um… well could we have him home as soon as is humanly possible?'

'Yes, we can try. I was thinking this evening? Via ambulance car?'

'Yes, that would be great.' Kenny said excitedly. 'Thank you, thank you so very much.'

'That's quite alright. Well, he will be home soon, goodbye.'

'Bye.' Kenny said before hanging up. 'Guys! Guys!' he ran into the living room to tell the team of the good news.

That evening the team was waiting patiently for Rays return, or in Tyson's, Max's and Kenny's case, impatiently.

The time was now eight forty-six, and there was silence through-out the house. The there was a knock at the door. Everyone looked out into the hall way; there was an excited, almost nervous, atmosphere about the room. Kai rolled his eyes as he rouse and walked to the door. "Sure they're excited about seeing Ray alive and well… again, but do they have to be so darn dramatic about it! Sheesh!" he heard another knock. 'Alright already, I'm coming.' He grumbled as he opened the door to see Ray stood on the door step, bandage-free. He looked at the Neko-jin with a straight face.

'No key?' he asked indifferently. Ray smiled with a nod.

'Yeah.' He said. Kai couldn't help but smile.

'Then you better come on in then.' The team captain said, stepping to one side.

Ray stepped in and removed his shoes and coat. Both he and Kai entered the living room only to be bombarded by the rest of the team and Ruth in a big round of hugs and questions aimed at Ray.

'I'm fine guys.' The Neko-jin said.

'Welcome back Ray.' Ruth said with a grin.

'Now that Ray's back we can finally start eating proper meals again.' Tyson said but was silenced by a glare from Ray.

'Yeah,' Kai said patting Ray on the shoulder. 'It is definitely good to have you back, Ray.'

With that they all entered the kitchen to have dinner.

Soon Ruth spoke. 'You know, now that this whole Werewolf thing is over, I guess I should really be getting back home.'

'Home?' Tyson repeated. 'Where do you live?'

'On the northern border of Tokyo.'

'That's quite far.' Max said.

'It is but I'll call a cab and I won't be taking any short cuts through any alley ways.' She quickly added, seeing the worried looks she received.

After saying goodbye to their new friend and watching her leave in the cab, the boys closed the door and wondered back into living room to watch television.

Kai sat in the arm chair, Ray sat on the huge cushion that was next to the chair and Kenny sat in his usual spot on the sofa, next to Tyson and Max who were once again fighting over the remote.

"Yep, it sure is good to be back." Ray thought quietly as he looked about at his friends and curled up on the cushion with a sigh of happiness as Tyson and Max finally decided on watching a film called 'When Kittens go bad.' "Definitely good to be back."

Phew its done, took several hours of hard work and concentration but it's done all 6 and a… quarter pages of it… yeah…
