Here it comes...Kai's moment of ...

" Tyson, you're right."

Kenny gasped and Tyson grinned in triumph. Kai took another breath, his face regaining its old mask. Kenny had to bite back a remark about the older boys return to his colder self.

"Tyson, I admit I lost that match. That is why I think you are right. That being said I will now tell you my answer to your comment on my current skills, and I'll say it in plain english. I am better than you. Unlike you, I have kept up my training and haven't slacked off like you have." Tyson was opening his mouth, an obvious attempt to defend himself, but Kai beat him to it." Don't deny it Tyson. Yes you won that match. You won the World Championships, but I bet you you couldn't do it again. Why you ask, because you haven't been practicing. That is one reason why I should go and not you." Kai turned to leave, he'd wasted enough time argueing, he found his way blocked though by a fuming Tyson.

"And what, according to you, gives you more of a right to look for Ray than me?" Kai gave him one of his infamous glares before pushing past. He picked up his backpack and started to head into the forest.

"Answer me Kai."

Kai turned slowly, focusing emotionless crimson eyes on Tyson." Ray is guiding me. He is leading me to where he is. He didn't leave clues for you, you wouldn't understand any of the clues anyway. He's waiting for me to find him. That's all that matters to me, that is why I will not tolerate your interferance Tyson. That's why I cannot tolerate you."

Kenny paled.' Here it comes. Tyson, don't do anything stupid.' Tyson's face and eyes became unreadable, no longer did his grey eyes shine with arrogance or life, they became an emotional mirror of Kai's crimson eyes.

A wall had been built between the two, no a wall could be broken, a chasm as deep and as wide as time itself had formed between the two. No longer would they veiw eachother as comrades. No longer could they stand as friends, no longer was the strong bond of brotherhood able to hold them together, no longer was their past struggles and triumphs as teammates going to keep them together.

Kai sighed again, this time in resignation. It was over, he turned away. He walked into the forest, becoming lost in its darkness to the others. His departure was almost a physical interpretation of the loss between the two former friends. Tyson and Kai had lost their friendship to the darkness that had formed a barrier between the two, just as they had now parted ways. With a forest dividing them.

Tyson stood still for a moment longer, oblivious to Kenny's movements. He shook his head and shrugged before he returned to Max's and his tent. Kenny watched him go, a feeling of numbness flowed through him.

" And now the Bladebreakers are no more."

Ray's words ghosted through his mind, he had uttered those words when they parted six years ago, he had been half right then, they had been apart, but the Bladebreakers had held together through their bond, they were always with eachother in spirit. But now, this rift between Kai and Tyson would be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. That camel was the Bladebreakers. Kenny slowly made his way to his tent, he got into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes. ' You were right Ray, I just never knew it.'

The familiar voice of their lost friend seemed to echo in the tent, and the surrounding area. A mournful cry for what once was and could never be again. Like so many other precious and fragile gifts bestowed upon people this one was broken. Kenny fell asleep to the sound of that gentle cry.

"The Bladebreakers are no more."

This chappie is short because there really was no way I could pull Kai into this, call this Kenny's 15 minutes of fame, or rather one or two minutes. Anyway, Kai's thoughts on this and his meeting with another person...maybe its the one he is searching for...or maybe it's the last person he will ever see. SakuraCC87, there was the answer to your question.
