Chapter 10
Kai had spent another week in the hospital, and today, Mr. Dickinson was checking him out.
The doctor had said that it would be best if Kai spent the time he had left with those closest to him, since he had gained enough weight to safely move around, but he would have to take it extremely easy.
"Like that will ever happen...." Kai scoffed mentally.
He struggled slightly as he pulled a grey t-shirt over his head, trying not to aggravate any of his wounds on his chest, but the effort was in vain.
The teen growled in pain as his head popped through the top of the shirt, ruffling his already messy hair.
Grabbing a pair of worn jeans from his hospital bed, he quickly slid them on and buttoned them, but they immediately fell down to his thighs.
Kai growled again in annoyance this time, mentally cursing the whole hospital.
His nurse gave him these clothes to wear, since the ones he came in there with were practically destroyed.
The only problem was that the clothes had belonged to some 200 pound guy, and Kai was currently and even 100.
Kai had eyed the clothes when the nurse placed them in his hands, and he was about to protest but the nurse had beat him to it.
"I know they are too big for you, but that's all we have! I'm sure Mr. Dickinson and your friends will take you shopping!" The nurses voice rang through his head.
Scowling, the teen glanced around the room for something he could use as a belt, his crimson eyes finally settling on a white roll of medical tape. The same tape that the nurse had used to wrap Kai's chest with just moments ago.
Taking the roll, Kai held up the pants just below his belly button and, using his free hand, swiftly wrapped the tape taught around his narrow hips.
"Well....this is interesting...." Kai said to himself. "Oh well....." He shrugged, deciding that no one would notice with the huge, baggy shirt hanging down to his mid thighs.
Suddenly, he keeled over slightly in a coughing fit.
Grabbing hold of the corner of the sink, he pulled himself up and turned on the faucet and gulped down some water.
Kai scowled at the taste, but it was better than nothing.
Wiping his mouth dry with the back of his hand, he walked out into the hallway, only to be greeted by his doctor.
"Ready to go now Kai?"
"Hnn...." The teen closed his eyes and crossed his arms loosely across his chest, wincing slightly.
---
"Kai!" Hilary exclaimed, rushing over to the blue haired teen as he rounded the corner.
She gently threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.
"I'm so glad you're getting better!" She smiled.
"Yeah....whatever...."
"Please don't be that way Kai...."
"There you are!" An elderly voice exclaimed.
"Mr. Dickinson." Kai acknowledged the elderly man, nodding his head as he approached.
The BBA manager placed a hand on the teen's shoulder. "The rest of the team are out doing different errands, so Hilary and I are going to take you to get some new clothes and anything else you may need."
Kai opened his mouth to reply, but the doctor appeared with a handful of release forms to be signed.
Mr. Dickinson sat down to sign them all, Kai and Hilary following suit.
"Um...Mr. D? Where's Kai going to stay?" The brunette asked, curious.
"I would like to know that as well." Kai muttered, glancing at the elder.
"You'll be staying with me Kai....at least for a couple more years. The government requires that you stay with a legal guardian."
"I see......" Kai looked away again. "You've been taking care of me all my life.....aren't you sick of it?"
The elder chuckled. "Not at all my boy! Come on...let's get out of here." He stood up and handed the forms to the nurse behind the counter.
"Oh! Here you go!" Hilary handed Kai a pair of sunglasses.
Kai took them and stared at them for a moment before looking back at Hilary.
"I figured your eyes are still too sensitive to the sunlight, so I bought these for you!" She smiled at him again.
"Thanks...I guess..."
Unfolding the sunglasses, he slid them over his eyes and followed Mr. Dickinson and Hilary outside.
---
Kai glanced around himself. Building towered on every side of the blue haired teen.
"Welcome back home Kai!" Hilary smiled, seeing his overwhelmed expression.
"Everything seems so big....I can't believe I had forgotten."
The three continued down the street, earning quite a few stares from people as they passed.
Kai frowned, pulling the collar of his shirt up closer to his neck. It kept sliding down his shoulder, and revealed the blue stripes permanently etched into his skin.
He knew the people were staring at him for that reason.
---
After a cab ride, and a three minute walk, the group came to a department store.
"Hello there! Is there anything I can help you with?" A cheerful lady asked as the elder and two teens walked in.
"We'll be fine, thank you." Mr. Dickinson replied.
"Well this is new...." Kai said to himself, looking through a glass case with shiny beyblades inside. "Looks like they have some new component...."
"The engine gear." A voice answered.
Kai glanced up at Hilary, who was smiling down at him.
Standing up straight, he stared at her silently.
"They came out with them about a year ago, everyone is rumored to start battling with them soon."
The blue haired teen pushed his sunglasses up his nose a bit and walked past her. "That's nice..."
"Hey! Wait up will ya!?"
The two teens followed Mr. Dickinson up an escalator and into a new area of the store.
"Here we go...why don't you find something you like?" The elder said as they came to a section of clothes for all shapes and sizes.
Kai blinked at the outfit on the mannequin in front of them.
It was wearing an outfit similar to Tyson's.
"The BladeBreakers have a line of clothes based off each member." Hilary said.
"That's.....disturbing..."
Taking his arm, Hilary dragged Kai into the sea of clothes racks, and they began their hunt for new outfits.
After an hour and a half, Kai got fed up and decided to look in the section they saw earlier, the one with the mannequin dressed as Tyson.
There, he found his old outfit, baggy pants and a tight black top. Hilary had found a long white scarf almost identical to his old one.
Satisfied, and completely worn out from shopping, he decided it was time to find Mr. Dickinson and get out of there.
The teens had to take another escalator to the next floor to find him.
The elder nearly burst out laughing as he saw the clothes in Kai's arm.
He glared at the old man through his sunglasses.
"Alright....finished?"
Kai nodded slowly, not taking his eyes off the elder. This was seriously pissing him off.
Moving on to a cash register, Kai dropped the pile of clothes on the desk.
"Aw how cute! You must be a 'Kai' fan! You even have his hair!" The lady behind the desk squealed.
The teen's glasses fell slightly, revealing a crimson death glare.
The woman jumped slightly, glancing at Hilary and the elder who was busy writing a check.
"You..."
"That's right..." Kai smirked proudly, seeing that the woman was in complete shock.
Hilary laughed nervously, poking Kai in the side gently. "Don't make a scene here!"
Coughing, the blue haired teen pushed his glasses back up and fixed the collar of his shirt once again.
"...alright...thank you, and come again!" The woman finally smiled.
Kai grabbed the bag before anyone could do anything and walked over to the dressing rooms.
"Kai?" Mr. Dickinson started.
"This shirt needs to burn...." He grumbled, pulling it up again.
---
After a few minutes, Kai reappeared from the dressing room wearing his familiar outfit.
"Feel better?" Hilary asked, smiling slightly.
"Much..." He replied, fixing the knot of his scarf behind him.
"Okay then...now that everyone's happy...let's get something to eat!" Mr. Dickinson announced.
-----------------------
Okay....this was getting too long as well.
The action will pick up soon....I think...
