Chapter 7

Imaginary

Kai, Ray, Max, and Hiro stood in the doorway in Tyson's room. They had all seen Tyson smile and fall to the floor as blood poured from his wrists and arms. Hiro was the first one to snap out of his shock and ran to Tyson's side, checking his little brother's plus. Barely feeling anything he cursed and pulled off the jacket he had been wearing and wrapped it around Tyson's freezing frame. "Someone get me some bandages and call for an ambulance!"

Hiro's yelling snapped Max and Ray out of their dazes, and they both ran off to do what Hiro had commanded them to do, but Kai remained standing there. As if unsure of himself Kai slowly walked over to Hiro who was cradling Tyson against his chest, but the younger boy's body was still shivering from the cold. Lifting his hand up he was about to touch Tyson's cheek, but stopped when he remembered Hiro was in the room.

Pounding footsteps heading towards the room was what helped him fully shake off his shake of his state shock. Looking towards the door Kai saw Max holding a first aid kit, looking out of breath. "Here's the first aid kit; Ray's calling the hospital right now," Max said as he gave the first aid kit to Hiro.

Trying to remain calm Hiro nodded his head. Opening up the kit he saw it was low on band-aids, making Hiro's gut churn at the thought of why so many were missing. Taking charge of the situation Hiro started giving out more commands. "Max I want you to get some water and a wash cloth." Max nodded his head and ran off. "Kai I want you to hold Tyson as I bandage him up."

Kai was more than stunned that Hiro was telling him to hold Tyson, but as Hiro handed the unconscious boy over to him he couldn't argue. Kai stared down at Tyson's bloody body and a strange feeling swept over him. He felt weak, powerless, empty, defeated, lonely, and betrayed. Yes he definitely felt betrayed. Tyson wasn't suppose to leave him like this. Tyson was his opponent, his rival, the reason why he pushed himself, Tyson actually made him feel something other than hate.

Unknowingly Kai held Tyson tighter as his thoughts became more possessive. He's mine and he can't just leave like this. He's the reason behind most of the things I do. The only reason I left a weeks ago was because I didn't want to be around him, because I was starting to feel something, something I shouldn't, and even after I came back it was still there and it was stronger than ever. He can't do this! This isn't real it can't be real! As Kai shouted these thoughts over and over again in his head he continued to hold Tyson's body close to him, but no one noticed how Kai's once awkward hold on Tyson's body had become a firm embrace.

Tyson lay in the soft lush green grass as the wind wailed in his ears. A beautiful storm was coming but he didn't move from his spot. Instead he shut his eyes and let his breathing even out. He was safe, he was in his own heaven where no one could hurt him, and the feeling of the approaching storm only made him more relaxed. Gray clouds covered the sun and thunder echoed through the clean air. Sakura blossoms danced on the wind and brushed against Tyson's tan face, but didn't disturb the boy as he began to drift into sleep.

Just as sleep was about to claim him though, Tyson felt someone leaning over him. Slowly opening his eyes he smiled as he looked up into the eyes of Kai. The older boy looked down at him with a look Tyson had never seen before in the captain's eyes. Still a little tired Tyson weakly wrapped his arms around his loves neck and buried his face into Kai's collarbone, inhaling the older boy's scent. "Kai," He whispered longingly to the boy who leaned over him.

Strong arms wrapped around Tyson's torso and pulled him against the strong chest of his team captain. "Tyson," Kai said softly, and the younger boy couldn't help but melt as he heard Kai say his name so lovingly.

Tears streamed down Tyson's face as he snuggled into Kai's warm embrace. All the feelings he had for Kai were so strong, and now he knew there was no way all of this could ever be because he had killed himself. "I'm sorry Kai." He still longed for Kai, but he had chosen death over his love, and now he was stuck in this dream, waiting for death to come and claim him.

The three Blade Breakers and Hiro sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Max was crying his eyes out as Ray tried to comfort the upset blonde. Hiro was a littler further away from the group and was talking to someone on his cell-phone, most likely Tyson's grandpa or father. Kai on the other hand sat away from all of them, deep in thought.

He couldn't understand why Tyson would try to kill himself. The keeper of Dragoon had always seemed to be the happiest person on Earth and nothing ever kept him down, and yet here he was in the hospital for suicide. Kai felt that he would never understand, and maybe a small part of him didn't want to either, because that small part of him had known all along what was happening and knew who was responsible.

Not wanting to think about it anymore Kai let his mind drift to something else, but his mind kept returning to Tyson. He kept thinking about how happy Tyson seemed and then that terrible image of Tyson lying on floor bleeding to death would enter his mind, and his heart would shatter as his brain screamed out in horror.

The sound of heels clicking on the tiled floor made Kai look up to see the doctor standing there with a look of exhaustion on her face. Clearing her throat she asked, "Are you all friends or family of Tyson Kinomiya?" The group nodded their heads. "Tyson has been stabilized and is now resting in a room we had prepared for him. He will be staying here until it is seen fit to send him home. Since he is resting right now he is allowed one visitor at a time and I must ask that you do not try to wake him. Also there is one more thing."

The doctor frowned as she read the last of the notes on her sheet of paper, making everyone nervous. "It seems Tyson had some internal bleeding-"

"Internal bleeding?" Hiro interrupted. "How?"

"I was getting to that," The doctor said a little frustrated, but a look full of sorrow crossed her face as she spoke. "After running a few tests we noticed the internal bleeding and as we examined him more we discovered something that was…" the doctor searched for the best word to use in the situation, "surprising. I'm guessing Tyson didn't tell you about it, and if that's the case I'm sorry you have to find out this way." The doctors next words explained everything and it was with those words that Kai felt his world shatter.

This isn't happening! It can't be happening! Was all Kai could think as dread filled his entire being.

The tears continued to fall down Tyson's face as he laid in Kai's arms. Something warm touched his face, and as Tyson cracked open an eye to see what it was he saw Kai licking away his tears. Feeling safe and loved Tyson tried to stop his tears, but he couldn't. The arms around his waist tighten and Kai made him face him. The look Kai was giving him made Tyson feel like the other boy was staring straight into his soul. "Don't hold back. Just cry," Kai said gently to Tyson and the younger boy couldn't help but feel grateful.

The two boys sat there holding each other as the storm grew. Soft drops of crystal water fell from the sky, and the wind blew with so mush strength it felt like it was trying to separate the two lovers, but it only made them hold on to each other tighter.

"Kai," Tyson said barely above a whisper, but the older boy heard him. "I-I love you, but I know this is a dream and I know that this could never happen in real life so please just let me stay here in this dream with you, or let me die because I just can't take another day of life. Please." Tyson buried his face into Kai's chest and sobbed harder than he ever thought possible. His life was horrible and meaningless, but this dream was all he wanted and if he couldn't have it he would rather be dead than alive.

"Tyson," Kai gently touched the younger boy's cheek and coaxed him into looking him in the eyes. As they stared into each other's eyes their breaths began to mingle and they came closer together. Lightening flashed as their lips met in soft chaste kiss, and as they pulled apart Tyson saw the tears running Kai's own face and heard Kai's pain filled voice whisper to him, "I'm sorry."

Tyson's heart skipped a beat and in that one instant lightening hit the two lovers.
