alright!

sorry for the wait! School just started again, and I don't have alot of free time anymore.

I've also been kindof depressed lately, that's why I've been saying bad things about this story.....don't know if they are true though

lol!

^_^

anyway, here's the next chapter, and it has Kai, just as I promised....and yes, I do like to torture Kai alot. ^_^

================================================================

There was a sharp pain across his cheek, sending him back into consciousness. Kai's eyes opened slowly, only to be greated by a large black bird. It cawed at him and pecked at his cheek again.

Kai growled and hit the bird away from him. He proped himself on his elbows, scaring away 3 more birds.

"I'm NOT an all you can eat buffet!" Kai growled at the birds as they flew away.

He collapsed back on the sand. He brought a hand up to his cheek and wiped away some blood.

"Damn birds..." He mumbled to himself.

He sat up again, and pain shot through his whole body.

His side was still bleeding seriously, and his clothes were burnt and torn, not to mention wet.

"What happened? I guess I fell in the ocean and washed up on shore." He said to himself.

He struggled to his feet and wavered slightly. He felt light headed, and fought the darkness overwhelming him.

He looked around and saw that he was on a beach, with nothing but trees close by.

"Have....to find everyone...." He told himself, dragging his feet through the sand, stubbling every now and then.

Darkness had finally covered the island, and Hilary, Tyson, and Kenny sat around a circle of rocks that Tyson had created. The Dragon Blader was trying despertly to start a fire.

"I wish Kai was here...." Kenny said, shivering slightly as Tyson cursed the fire pit.

"Does Kai know how to make a fire?" Hilary asked.

"Oh yes! Kai knows alot about the outdoors!" Kenny exclaimed.

"Really?" Hilary seemed amazed. She had only known Kai for about a year now, and didn't know alot about his past.

"Ah ha!" Tyson cheered as a small spark appeared in the small sticks and grass. He began to blow softly on the small flames and they finally grew into a large fire!

"Ha! I told you I could do it!" Tyson said smiling.

"It's about time!" Hilary and Kenny exclaimed rushing to the fire to warm themselves.

"Everybody's a critic!" Tyson mumbled to himself.

About 20 minutes later, everyone was settled and eating the pretzels they found. Kenny was busy typing on Dizzi, trying to find some help.

"Sorry Chief, there's no signal! I can't get anything!" Dizzi said.

Hilary and Tyson checked their cellphones.

"No signal here either!" Hilary exclaimed.

Tyson growled. "How could this happen!? Everytime something good is about to happen to us, something bad happens instead!"

"Would you calm down Tyson?! You don't know what animals could hear us!" Hilary shouted.

"You should talk! You're louder than I am!"

Kenny began stammering. "Uuhhh....g...g...guys.....th...th...th...there's a......"

"What?!" Hilary and Tyson yelled at the quivering boy.

He held up a shaky finger toward Hilary.

Suddenly, Hilary paled and Tyson jumped away.

"Oh my God!" Tyson exclaimed, seeing the huge snake rub across Hilary's leg.

Hilary backed up to a tree and sat on the cool sand.

"T....try and ssssstay.......ssssstill..." Kenny said, retreating further away.

Hilary began to quiver slightly. "Why did it have to be a sssnake?" She asked herself, clentching her eyes tightly shut.

The snake began to pull away from her leg. It turned around to face her. It hissed loudly and bared it's fangs, ready to strike.

Hilary screamed as the snake made it's move.

Everyone gasped. Hilary didn't feel anything. Slowly, she opened her eyes. In front of her, she saw that the snake's head had been crushed under a foot. She looked up to see.....Kai?!

The blue haired teen stood slightly limp, his right hand holding the large wound on his left side.

"Kai!" Hilary exclaimed along with Tyson and Kenny.

"Would you all be quite! It's no wonder that every animal out here has found you yet!" He scolded softly.

Kai grunted, and fell unconscious.

"Oh no Kai!" Everybody called and rushed to their fallen captain.
