Don't worry Monarch, Kai shall not die, I couldn't take it… And thank you both monarch, Toboe-Angel, and lil baby phoenix for your wonderful reviews. This is actually my first Bey Blade fic so they mean a lot.

Kai awoke in the dark, noticing a fire off to his side. He was face down, laying on his stomach, from his head laying to the side he noticed a kink in his neck. Kai tried to rise, but was sent crashing back down to the ground when a sharp twisting pain in his back made its presence known.

It all started to come back to him; the bey battle, Hiroshima, the knife in his back. What he couldn't understand was how he got there, he was almost positive that Kitatsu would have either left him there or finished him off. Maybe he didn't want to get caught? That would explain not being taken to a hospital. Though he seriously doubted it.

It was then that he heard someone's footsteps coming closer to him every second. Trying to lift his head and crane it to at least glare at the person, he felt a hand on his shoulder, successfully keeping his head down.

"What do you want?" He yelled through gritted teeth to try to stop the pain.

"Shhh. Your wounds just stopped bleeding." The voice was that of a girl, but deeper, it seemed almost familiar to Kai. The girl came around front and cupped his face. She looked into his eyes, and he recognized her.

"Dranzer…?" He whispered quietly, confused. Looking into her eyes though he knew it was true. It could only be Dranzer, but, how was it she looked almost human?

"Yes, now rest. You're hurt very badly." She said still cupping his face, her voice almost emotionless, but obvious worry running throughout it.

"How…?" He asked, trying to make sense of it. Maybe he was in a hospital, maybe this was all a dream. But it felt real, the pain felt real. But he was with Dranzer, he was safe, even if he was confused.

"Do you need anything Master?" She asked politely, her off-white hair falling over her shoulder. She reminded him a bit of himself, though, she was his bit beast, he reasoned. Her voice sounded almost like her phoenix screech, but less harsh, Kai thought.

Kai once again tried to rise from the ground, successfully getting one knee under his stomach. He screeched in pain as his back arched, he brought his other leg up underneath him as well, causing the pain to grow. Kai waited for a few moments for the pain to recede a bit before trying to lift.

Dranzer watched on, knowing that she couldn't stop him. Though he was gaining his power back, she could feel it.

Kai then tried to stand all the way up, pulling his arms under his chest and pushing up, lifting his body off of the ground. Kai stood, shaking for moments, grounding his teeth together to suppress it. He stumbled a bit and had to grab the cave wall for support. He finally stood, his body covered in blood, both dry, and now wet.

"I knew you could do it! You're strong like that!" Dranzer said happily, still showing less emotion than the normal human girl. Of course, she wasn't human.

Kai limped down the hillside, trying to get back to the school. He knew it wasn't far, but it felt far walking with stab wounds in your back. Dranzer simply trailed along behind him.

Arriving at the private high school, Kai sighed in relief, now all he had to do was get to the nurses office. On the way he got a few stares, his glare worked most of them off though, but his school uniform was basically ruined.

Kai was sure he wasn't the only one being stared at. Not many girls come into an all boys school. And he was very sure that none of them had ever seen a girl quite like Dranzer. Who wore a dress that looked like it was made of fire and lots of gold adorning her skin. All in all she looked basically as she had as a phoenix, even her nose curved a bit like her beak had.

Finally Kai found the door to the nurse's office. He limply knocked and opened it slowly, panting the whole way.

The nurse looked up from her seat, expecting to see a boy faking the flu, but instead was greeted with Kai throwing himself into the room, stumbling over to her desk.

"Achh! Oh my! Oh, dear, what happened to you?" She shrieked in a very high pitched voice, not noticing Dranzer come in behind him and quietly shut the door.

"I slipped." Kai said sarcastically as he smiled/smirked up at her, letting her take him away to a sick room to be bandaged.

Dranzer watched as the nurse fussed over her master. She knew then that he would be alright. Dranzer walked around the office, taking in the sight. There were pictures of sick children and nurse comic strips, Dranzer found it an incredibly boring sight. Sighing, she took a seat in a vacant chair. Sitting for a moment, the door began tto open.

Dranzer looked up as a boy about her Master's age came in. Kai had said he was going to the nurse's office, and he didn't look very sick to her. The boy walked in and looked around, letting his eyes settle on Dranzer.

"Hey." He said as he walked in holding his stomach, choosing the only other vacant chair, the one directly across from her. Dranzer looked at him bored, she didn't find him worth her time. She was after all only there for her master.

"So what you here for?" He asked, still making a sad attempt at holding his stomach. Dranzer simply looked at him.

"You don't look sick." She spoke without emotion, sounding bored. The boy looked at her for a moment like a fish, his mouth opening and closing without noise, as if he couldn't believe what she had said.

"I am, my stomach hurts." He insisted, trying to sound a bit desperate.

"Not like my master." Dranzer replied coldly, the worry for Kai leaking through a bit.

The boy quirked an eyebrow at the word 'master'.

" 'Master'?" He asked, looking at her as if she was joking.

"Yes." Dranzer replied, deciding that she didn't wish to speak to him anymore, not that she did in the first place.

Meanwhile, with Kai.

"Ohh! You poor, poor dear!" The nurse, Mrs. Kitsushuiwa, squealed as she rushed from one side of the room to the other in search of bandages and alcohol. Finally finding what she was looking for, she returned to Kai.

"Now dear, I need you to take that old shirt off while I clean this all up." She said as she circled around him.

Kai made an attempt at lifting his arms, causing him immense pain, he bit his lip to keep from screaming and clenched his teeth as he pulled the dried, sticky material away from his skin, making himself even more dizzy as it peeled off.

"Oh dear!" The nurse shrieked again. Kai looked down and noticed that he was bleeding again. Mrs. Kitsushuiwa shrieked as fresh blood trailed along familiar and new paths along the skin on his back. Kai looked at her coldly before blacking out.
