Now, on with the story…
Have Faith…You tricked me into believing,
Into believing that you were the one,
The one that I cherished, the one that I loved.
You mercilessly tricked my heart.
You ripped out my heart,
And fed it to the dogs.
You cared not what happened to me,
Only the hatred you held in you soul.
You tricked me into believing,
That you were the one I loved.
But you trick me no more,
I see your real face.
What changed you I do not know,
I know, deep inside your heart,
You remember.
I hold faith in you, my love.
Slowly, a blue-haired teenager raised a pair of chapped hands to massage his temples, trying to relieve the stress from his eyes. He had been up for two dawns now, watching over his teammate; hoping, praying that the sick member of the Blade Breakers would wake. Try as he might, Kai failed to forget the events that has befallen upon them in the two days. Even in two day's time, the doctor could not announce that Rei's situation was stable.
A strong wave of guilt suddenly washed over Kai, as he watched Rei take painful breathes from the oxygen mask. If only he paid Rei attention on that rainy day, if only he had let Rei reach out to him, and led him into the light…none of this would have happened. Thinking back, Kai came to the conclusion that maybe he was not whom he used to be – Strong, independent, cold. Maybe, ever so slowly, he had let someone quietly slip past his stone barrier without knowing…
Letting out a sigh of disbelief, Kai starred down at the still teenager on the hospital bed. He let a small smile form from the corner of his lips as his crimson eyes explored Rei's visage. His sharp eyes failed to miss even the smallest details. Kai's eyes paused at Rei's full lips, paled from his sickness. Shaking, Kai gently lifted up his hand and gently traced around the oxygen mask, as if in a trance.
"Kai!" shouted Tyson as he banged into the hospital room, forgetting to knock.
As if he's been caught committing a crime, Kai quickly snapped out of his trance, and snapped back his hands. Taking a deep breath, Kai slowly turned to face Tyson all the while trying to control the blush that threatened to creep up his cheek.
"Have you ever heard of knocking you, idiot?" Kai snarled at Tyson.
"Woo, chill buddy," Tyson raised his hands up in defense, "Just came to say that you should go grab something to eat. I'll take over for a while."
"You?" Kai said with a smirk, "You who can't keep his mind off food. You who can't find his socks in the morning. You who can't add until you were eight. Would you like me to continue, Tyson?"
"Alright, alright, I get the point, but you really need to go get some shut eye! How's this, I'll get Maxie to watch with me, " Tyson bargained.
With a sigh, Kai rubbed his tired eyes again in defeat. As much as he hated to admit it, Tyson was right. Killing himself with exhaust isn't going to help Rei. Slowly getting up from his chair, Kai took one last look at Rei before walking to the door where Tyson stood.
"If anything happens, Tyson, you'd better run as fast as your fat drumsticks could carry you and find me. I will be down in the food court. Ok Tyson? The food court is where you find food. It's located on the first floor. When you get there-"
"K-A-I! I am not STUPID! I know where the stupid food court is! I will find out if there are any changes, ok? Now leave," Tyson ordered.
With a last sigh and a death glare at Tyson, Kai swiftly existed the room and headed to the food court, where he hoped he could find some abnormally large hamburgers.
--------------------------------------
'This is certainly interesting, ' mused a red head as he carefully observed Kai's conversation with Tyson from afar, 'he's not willing to leave Rei…'
The silvery wolf seated beside him let out a snort.
"Oh c'mon, it's sweet," The red head said to the wolf beside him.
His silvery companion returned a stare that clearly expressed, 'you've gotta be kidding me.'
The teenager let out a chuckle and ruffled the beast's fur. "C'mon, I need to make a phone call."
-------------------------------------
After ordering a Quarter-Pounder from McDonald's, Kai took a seat in the cafeteria facing the double glass doors that separated the sick from the outside world. With a sigh, Kai slowly unwrapped his burger and slowly took a bite. Chewing thoughtfully, he asked himself the question that repeatedly came up since Rei's condition, 'Will Rei ever be alright again?' Coming up with no answer, Kai trained his eyes to the world beyond the glass doors and mused over the fact that it started to rain once again.
Raising his burger to his mouth, Kai was about to take another bite when a man standing outside caught his attention. The man stood, casually leaning against the walls just beside the hospital doors, revealing half of his visage. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses even when there was no sun. However, it was the man's red bangs, visible beneath his hood, and choice of clothing that got Kai's undivided attention. Just then, a silvery wolf-like dog ran up to the man and obediently sat down beside him.
"No way…it can't be him…no…he's dead…" Kai murmured, his burger long forgotten.
Just then, the stranger turned and looked straight at Kai. A smirk, ever so familiar to Kai, curled at the tip of the man's mouth before he turned and walked swiftly into the rain.
Throwing down the half-eaten burger, Kai rushed to his feet and started after the mysterious man before realizing that Rei was still upstairs fighting for his life. Feeling torn between Rei and the man that Kai felt sure was Tala, Kai carefully weighed his options. The last time he let himself morn, Rei ended up in the hospital. However, he was sure that this time, the man was Tala. How could he pass on a chance like this? Plus, Rei has Max, Tyson and Chief to look after him here… Coming upon a decision, Kai quickly raced after the redhead into the pouring rain.
------------------------------------
UpstairsBeads of sweat dripped slowly down the frame of Rei's paled face as his face twisted with pain. His already labored breathing was worsening with each passing minute. From his spot next to Rei's bed, Tyson failed to notice this change in Rei's condition. Shortly after Kai left, Tyson found that he could not concentrate on his silent friend. Instead, his mind wondered to a certain blonde-haired teenager.
"TYSON! WAKE UP TYSON!!!!!!!!" Someone shouted in Tyson's ears.
"Huh?… What? What's going on?" Tyson mumbled half asleep, "Max? Is that you?"
"TYSON!!! How could you have fallen asleep at a time light this?!?!?!" Max exclaimed, "We've got to call the doctors! Rei was getting worse! Go and find Kai, FAST!"
Hearing that his friend was in danger, Tyson immediately snapped to attention, "Kai…Kai…Where's Kai????"
"JUST GO!" Max commanded while calling the doctors.
Tyson rapidly ran out of the room, but not without one last look.
--------------------------------------
'Tala…was that really you?' Kai thought as he followed the orange-haired man. 'If it was Tala, why would he not acknowledge me?'
The man ahead of Kai smirked, 'The stupid fool, he doesn't have a clue what he's gotten himself into.'
--------------------------------------
"KAI!!!!! KAI!!!!! KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU, KAI!?!?!?" Tyson shouted as he ran into the food court, earning a couple of stares from the people. "KAI!!!! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!"
"Excuse me, Mister, but swear is not appropriate in the hospital. Please look for your companion elsewhere," one of the police officer commanded.
'Kai…where are you?' Tyson wondered.
---------------------------------------
Kai followed Tala into a dark abbey, his senses tingled, telling him that something was wrong. In his guts, he knew this was a horrible idea. It was much too rainy to see clearly if the person was really Tala, but he ignored his feelings and followed after the disappearing figure. He ran and ran until he saw that he had accidental ran into a dead end. Glancing around, Kai was disappointed to find that Tala is nowhere to be found. With a sigh of disappointment, Kai slowly turned around. His mind was so preoccupied with pictures of Tala that he failed to notice a shadow slowly creep up behind him. When Kai finally realized that he was in grave danger , it was much too late. The orange-haired man thrust a sharp knife through Kai's stomach.
Paralyzed with pain, Kai slowly fell to his knees, turning around, he got a good look at the man for the first time. He gasped in shock as he realized whom it was that he had been chasing all along. Slowly, his vision began to blur as his blood seeped onto the pavement. With a smirk, the man raised a metal club and brutally brought it down on Kai's head. An excruciating crack was heard as the club came into contact with Kai's forehead.
'I'm sorry, Rei…' Kai thought before he fully lost consciousness.
"You are such a full, Kai. You are blinded by your love for Tala. In the end, that's what destroyed you." Boris said as he ripped off his orange wig.
