Konnichiwa! Yep, I've finally written the last chappy of my fic. Sorry it's taken me sooo long, I haven't had access to a computer for a while. I'm surprised that I got more than 3 reviews! I felt so happy reading them all, so thanks everyone! Especially newest reviewer Wolf who thought Kai and I were funny! And yeah, I kept Kai away from the kitchen!
Kai : So Minako…do I play an important role in this chapter?
Me : Oh, you're back from the psychiatrist then! Snickers Yeah, your going to…wait a minute, why not just read the chapter…?
Kai : I can't be bothered.
Me : I'll get you another scarf.
Kai : Fine. But I was told you stopped doing bribes…
Me : manages a small chuckle Heh, small world…
Chapter 3: No longer invisible…
'Max has been in the bathroom a while…I knew something was up.' Kai opened the door to the public toilets.
His cold expression came to one of worry and slight anger.
"Max…what the hell?"
"…"
"Dammit, what were you thinking?" Kai was at the boy's side, shaking his shoulders.
"Answer me!"
"…"
"Max…! What?" The blonde was slumped against the far wall, his bright blue eyes glazed over and a terrible look of sadness and guilt pictured on his pale face.
"Maxie…What have you done?"
"K…Kai…?"
--Max's POV--
So I finally regain control of my senses again. Our 'nice' coach Kai was knelt by my side, wiping the blood from my wrist.
"B..Back off Kai…I want this…" I manage to hiss through my teeth.
I feel so faint, despite not losing that much blood. My head hurts. I have given up on everything…
I am ready to die…
"Max, listen to me, we have to get you out of here. I don't know what's going on, but I knew you weren't happy…Please…let me help you…"
Those crimson eyes, usually so piercing, looked soft. Somehow, Kai's whole face has softened up.
"I…I…"
I was lost for words…
Maybe I was wrong…
Kai might actually understand me…
--Normal POV--
Kai used his brute strength to rip off the end of his scarf, and wrapped it around Max's wrist like a bandage. He pulled the speechless blonde to his feet. (A:N/ It's Kai's moment of heroism!)
"Your gonna be okay, Maxie. We can talk later if you want…"
Max was thinking…letting what had just happened sink in.
--Max's POV--
I wanted to protest, yet part of me said that I should let Kai help me.
What have I got to lose, after all…?
Darkness beckoned me, and I felt too weak to resist it.
I felt strong arms grip me as I fell into another world…
Losing my consciousness…but, at least it's not my life…
--Normal POV-- (sos 'bout the switching…)
The blonde fainted in Kai's arms, but the coach of the Bladebreakers wasn't too concerned. Taking Max to the local hospital for a check-up, Kai realised why the boy had worn the long green sweatbands.
Deep scars made a pattern on the boy's light skin, a sure sign of abuse.
Kai frowned. He knew that he and Max would need to talk soon, but didn't want to pressure him.
"Hiwatari, Kai!" A thin brown-haired nurse came out from a room.
"Here!"
Standing up, Kai followed the nurse to the hospital bed. Max was all snuggled up in the bed, his head resting delicately on a fluffy pillow, his hair covering his eyes.
"He's fine. We've found old scars on his body too, but we can ask about them later." Smiling, she left the two alone.
"Maxie…can you hear me…?" Kai asked, sitting on the seat next to the boy's bed.
--Max's POV--
I feel like someone smacked me on the back of the head with a brick.
But, as I open my eyes, I feel something else too.
I feel…happy…
And I know why…
It's Kai.
He saved me…
"Max…you feel any better…?"
There it is again…
A voice of concern.
Finally…
Coming out of someone else's mouth…for me…
"I was…worried about you…" Kai turns away from me.
No way…Mr 'feelings are for the weak', cold Kai Hiwatari, actually worried!
All of a sudden, I feel so different.
In such a small amount of time…
"I'd better tell the others where we are." Kai stands up to walk over to the phone.
"Kai…" He pauses, wondering what I might want him for.
"Thanks…" I smile. No, not a fake one, a real one…
"Anytime…" He smiles back at me, only a small one, but that's all I need, and suddenly brings his hand over to my face and wipes something away…
It's then I realise…
My tears are no longer invisible…
Owari
And you have come to the end…I was actually quite disappointed by the ending, but decided to post it anyway!
Kai : That was a very odd fic…
Me : Yeah…you were in it! No, seriously, I just wanted a change of writing. This is my first, but definitely not last, angst fic…so I guess it's pretty lame…
Kai : Never mind, thanks for the scarf…I guess I'll see you for the next fic.
Me : Really…I thought you never wanted to work with me again…
Kai : Change of heart…
Me : Awh…that's why you're my fave muse! Well, c ya all later, I better go do something more worthwhile, like cleaning my room…massive groan…
Kai : snickering
Byezies!
Minako Angel out xxx
A:N/ For anyone who actually noticed, I only did the disclaimer once for chappy 1. So no one complain that I didn't do one, k?
I'll send Kai on ya if ya try to sue me!
Kai : HEY! That wasn't on the contract!
Me : Heh heh…
A:N/2 Yeah, I decided to put in POV's this time, but that made the story suck even more I guess! Also, the way I ended the fic could lead to a sequel. I might do one, I dunno. Last thing, why would the nurse smile when she tells Kai that Max had been abused? She's a psycho. I guess Kai's psychiatrist should see her…
Kai : That old git stopped me from world domination…revenge will be mine…
Me : Oops…guess the one I chose wasn't decent enough!
Byezies for real this time!
