At the Dojo

You still haven't gotten any better Kai, as far as I know, and I'm beginning to think you're not gonna make it, cause every time you seem to get better, you end up getting worst, and I don't want to raise any false hopes.

I'm sitting in my bathroom right now, believing you're not gonna wake up, and I'm never gonna be able to see you again when it hit me. I don't have to live without you. If you die, I'll die. Where ever you go, Kai, whether it be Heaven or Hell, I'm gonna be there with you, through thick and thin, because I can' live without you, Kai. Don't you understand that? Without you, I'm only half of a whole, and no matter how much I try, there will never be anything large enough that can re-fill that hole, Kai. Only you hold the power to do that, because I love you. I always have, and always will, no matter how hard I try to believe otherwise.

I just wish there was another way, Kai. I wish we could be together here like you promised, but we can't. The Gods seem to have other plans for us, but I'm gonna make sure that I'm included in those plans, Kai. We will be together, no matter what I have to do to make sure of it.

I see something shining near the sink of the bathroom, when I see one of Hiro's shavers. I smile at the sight. The first time in ages I haven't nagged Hiro about cleaning up, and it works in my favour. We will be together, Kai. I promise. And this promise won't be broken so easily…..

At the Hospital

"I can't wait to see Tyson's face when he hears about this!" hollered Hilary down the other end of the phone. "Are you going over now?"

"Yeh. I thought I would surprise him," replied an irritable, but still excited, Kai. "I'm on my way to the Dojo right now. Is Tyson's family in?"

"No," replied Hilary, "there at some reunion with Tyson's Dad. Tyson refused to leave until he knew you were going to make it."

Kai smirked at that. "I just hope that Tyson doesn't have a heart attack when he sees me. Well, I'm here. Got to go."

"O.k. Kai. Bye"

With that, Kai ended the phone call and went up to the house. He knocked on the door and waited a few moments. When there was no answer, Kai knocked again, but a tiny bit harder, just in case Tyson hadn't heard him. When there was still no answer, Kai became more and more nervous and began to have strange feelings about Tyson being in trouble.

"Tyson!"

Kai didn't care anymore about surprising Tyson. He just wanted to make sure that he was alright, because this was unlike Tyson to leave the front door unanswered. With even more unwanted fears plaguing his mind, Kai decided to take action. He went around the back and tried to open the door, to find that the screen was already open.

This made Kai even more anxious. He really didn't like the silence in the house; when, all of a sudden, he heard a very quiet shrill of pain coming from the bathroom upstairs. He slowly and quietly walked up the stairs to find that the door to Tyson's bedroom was ajar, and that there was a very dim line of light coming from somewhere in the room. He walked in to find that Tyson's bathroom door was shut and had light leaking out from it, as well as an eerie coloured substance. He carefully walked up to the door to find that the liquid substance was blood, and that it was slowly trailing out from behind the door, where he could here tiny whimpers of self-indulged pain.

"Tyson?" Kai whispered.

Then all went quiet. This spooked Kai even more, and it is very difficult to spook Kai. All he could hear was the heavy panting of someone's breathe from the other side of the door, and his own shallow breathes he was inhaling. He then saw a shadow slowly crawl into view from underneath the door.

"K-Kai?" questioned a weak voice from the other side of the opaque door.

"Tyson? Are you alright? What are you doing?" enquired Kai, knowing all too well what the answer was, but not wanting to believe it.

"Kai. I'm sorry…." was all that came in reply, and then the breathes on the other door slowed down, and Kai saw the shadow retreat further into the bathroom, and then, there was a sudden thud.

"Tyson?" Kai inquired. "Tyson?"

When there was no answer, Kai began to panic. He knew it wasn't a good idea, but what else was he mean to feel. His koi was on the other side of the door, bleeding to death, and he was standing out here. Did he just say koi?

No matter what he just said, he cared for Tyson too much to allow this to go any further. So, without hesitation, Kai stepped back, and forced all his weight into a tackle into the door. I didn't budge. He tried again. Cracks were beginning to form in the door. The third time Kai smacked into the door, it opened, to reveal a bleeding Tyson on the floor, slowly slipping into a deep slumber which he will never awaken from.
