Kai laid quietly in the nurses room, not at all surprised that she didn't call an ambulance. The school hated bad publicity, so, supposedly, capable nurses and doctors. He assumed he had been bandaged, for he was half propped up on his back, half on his side and stomach. Not a particularly comfortable position.
Kai sighed as he rolled onto his stomach, trying to rise from the bed. When he thought about Dranzer. How would he explain her? More importantly, how did she take human form? Could she go back? These questions, among others, ran through Kai's head, making him dizzy.
Just as he started to rise from the hard school bed, Mrs. Kitsushuiwa rushed in, seeing him standing, her eyes widened unnaturally popping outward.
"Oh dear! Oh, no, no, no, no! You must stay down!" She screeched as she tried to gently push Kai back down to the bed. Refusing, Kai pushed out his left arm, the better more mobile of the two. He swiftly pushed passed her, bent on leaving. He had things to do, he couldn't laze around in a bed all day.
Walking out of the white room, Kai noticed Dranzer sitting in a chair near the far corner of the room. He also noticed Rinuken Shishimora looking quite angry sitting in the chair across from her. Dranzer looked up, he could see the relief in her eyes as she looked at him almost blankly.
"Ready?" Dranzer asked as she rose up from the old school chair. Kai noticed briefly that Rinuken looked shocked, his mouth agape. He brushed it off, it couldn't have been anything too important.
"Let's go." He said simply as he walked out of the room with Dranzer dressed in his pants, and bandages, headed for his dorm to get a clean shirt.
Dranzer tried to follow but felt a tug on her dress. Turning, she saw the annoying boy again.
"He's your master?" He asked incredulously. Dranzer simply grabbed her dress away and glared hard at him, running to catch up with Kai.
Once getting to his room, gaining stares all the way up, Kai looked around. It was as he had left it. And thankfully Wyatt wasn't there, they shared a dorm together again.
Kai walked to the shared closet, pulling a loose t-shirt out. Lifting his arms to put it on hurt more than he had expected, but he managed, gritting his teeth as he brought his arms back down to his side.
"Feeling better?" Dranzer asked taking a seat on his bed. Kai looked at her, giving her the answer she wanted; not much.
"How did you come out? How are you sustaining yourself?" Kai asked in his usual fashion, making a half circle around her on the bed.
"As you know, my energy is your energy," She started, turning to look at him. "Your power is my power. You keep me here." She answered obediently, still treating her master with respect. And she did respect him. Ever since he had gained her spirit, she could feel his power, and the immensity of it, even as a child. Also, he had always shown her with the greatest respect, placed her above others. Dranzer couldn't deny him the respect and obedience he deserved.
Kai sighed, he must have been drugged, and now they were wearing off. He sat himself down gently on Wyatt's bed, opposite Dranzer.
"How are you able to stay here though? I didn't call you out." He said, seeming to be suspicious.
"As I said before," Dranzer started again, a bit annoyed, "Your power is my power. We're bound together. When you lose control, as long as you still have power and life, I may do as I wish." She answered with a slight edge to her voice, normally he figured things out quicker. Maybe it was the painkillers?
"I see." Kai said, seeming to be deep in thought. He didn't like the idea that she could do as she wished like that. When a thought came to him.
"What about now? I'm awake, in control." He asked, skeptical of her answer.
Dranzer frowned a bit, how could he ask her such a thing? Did he believe she was lying? She answered, though insulted.
"Now, you are in control. I'm answering your questions, I'm doing what you want!" She said as the anger and insult to her pride grew. "You haven't sent me away, and haven't taken full control, yet I am in complete obedience." She finished in a huff, glaring a bit at Kai hurt.
Though, he didn't seem to notice, he seemed deep in thought again.
"So you could always do this." He reasoned as she nodded a bit, "Why now? Why not before?" Kai asked. She understood his skepticism, yet still felt angered by his interrogation.
"Because you didn't need me then. You had your team to help you, other people. There was never a reason for me to." She answered simply, noticing the mass of bandages again, her anger lessened.
Kai nodded in understanding. Thinking about it more, he came to the conclusion that since Kyouju's Dizzira had a personality and a voice, why shouldn't Dranzer? It all seemed so simple, making him feel, grudgingly, like a fool.
Dranzer looked over at him again, anger and insult gone, he looked so… What was the word she was looking for? Dranzer had never seen him so hurt before, she had heard him scream, seen him hurt before. But had never witnessed him afterwards. Then again, she supposed, he wasn't completely invincible. Kai looked tired, the pain showing through his eyes.
"Do you need anything Master?" She asked standing up and steadying him as he seemed to get dizzy suddenly.
"No." Kai said simply. The pain was great, and he couldn't shake the feeling of dizziness or the constant stream of blackouts, though they only lasted for seconds, it was enough to make him sick. The lack of skin on his back ached incredibly. For once, he did want it all to stop. For once he knew he needed rest. But not for the first time, he refused to take it.
"We need to go to Kyouju's and get this figured out. If you can do this, maybe the others can." Kai said as he strained to his feet, Dranzer watching with loyal amazment at his strengh. Kai left the room, leaving Dranzer behind.
"I always knew you were strong." She whispered to herself as she chased him out of the room.
