Hey! Okay, I'm so sorry that I made you all wait this long! I got about half way done and got wicked bad writers block…then I just forgot about this for a while when my Harry Potter obsession came around.

Sick Of This Life

Chapter 2

Life Or Death?

"Kai!" Rei exclaimed hurrying to his friend's side and slamming his hand onto the alert button.

"Children! Out! We need room!" Dr. Rzewski ordered rushing into the room not even a minute later.

"What's going on!" Emily asked, panic growing in her eyes when she saw the BladeBreakers be hurried out of Kai's room.

"Why are the doctors in there?" Lee asked when he saw Rei's worried face.

"Kai's heart monitor...it…it went flat," Rei said with difficulty. Looking at his teammates he saw each had their eyes glistening with unshed tears and their faces etched with worry.

"Oh, God."

"What is it, Tyson?" Max asked looking at his friend.

"It…it's just finally getting through to me that it isn't a dream. Kai really tried to kill himself. How could this happen?" He asked shaking his head and falling into a nearby chair.

"I don't know, Tyson…I really don't know. I've heard of it happening to other people, but I never thought it could happen to one of my friends," Max said putting a hand on his friends shoulder.

"None of us did, Maxie," Judy said giving her son a comforting hug.

"Thanks, Mom."

"It'll be alright," Judy promised Max letting a tear fall from her eye. Kira…Oh, God, Kira, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let this happen. Kira, I promise you. I'll help Kai get through this. I couldn't stop him from doing this, but I'm going to do all I can to make sure that he doesn't try it again. And Bethany, Tamara I promise I won't let this happen to your boys. I couldn't stop Kai, but I can make sure that none of them ever give up on life. I won't let it happen to them and I won't let it happen to Max.

"Boys!" a voice yelled pulling Judy from her thoughts. Looking up she saw that it was Mr. Dickenson with Bruce, who went to his son and embraced him gently. "What happened! Are you alright!" Taking a quick head count he noticed that a certain slate colored head was missing. "Where's Kai?" Seeing that everyone's faces became even gloomier he spoke again. "What happened?" When he noticed no one was going to answer he spoke again a note of demanding in his voice. "Boys, I need to know. What happened?"

"Kai…Kai tried to kill himself, Mr. Dickenson. Rei found him. He'd slit his wrists and had taken an overdose on drugs. We were just in there," Max said gently letting himself out of his mother's hold.

"How is he?"

"Not good. His…his heart monitor went flat Mr. Dickenson," Rei said.

"Oh, God," Mr. Dickenson said slowly backing into a chair and putting his head into his head. After a few minutes he looked up, took a deep breath, and began to speak. "I-"

"Excuse me?" A voice said interrupting Mr. Dickenson.

"Dr. Rzewski! Is Kai okay!" Tyson said jumping out of his father's embrace.

"We took a few tests and confirmed that the dagger had done more damage than we thought. It had cut a small incision into his lung. We've done all we can for him right now. He's stable at the moment, but I'm going to sit with him for the night. Why don't you head home? It's already 1:00 in the morning. Visiting hours start at 10:00 so you'll want to rest."

"Alright," Judy said nodding. "Thank you Dr. Rzewski."

"No thanks needed," Dr. Rzewski said. Looking in the direction of Kai's room she quietly said to herself, "There's something about him. Could he be? No, it's impossible." Shaking her head slightly to rid herself of her thoughts she looked up to see that the group had begun to walk away. Sighing quietly she returned to Kai's room and sat in a chair beside the bed. Looking down at the sleeping boy she saw a tear run down his face. (The face paint had been washed off)

Kai's Dream

"Kai! Where are you going!" a young girl around the age of six called after her friend.

"To get Black Dranzer!" Kai yelled back.

"Kai, you can't! You know Boris will kill you! And, I mean literally!" Seeing him take Black Dranzer out of the mechanical launcher she called out once more in panic. "Kai! Don't!"

"Let it rip!" Kai yelled as he launched the black beyblade into the dish. Watching with fascination at its speed and power he didn't hear his friend screaming nor did he realize that the room was beginning to collapse until he was hit with a falling piece of rock. Snapping his head into his friend's direction he screamed. "Willow!"

"AH!" Willow screamed as a falling rock made a small cut in her forehead. Snapping her head up Kai saw her black hair, streaked with purple fly and stick to the wound on her forehead. Looking at him she ran towards him. "Look out!" Pushing him out of the way Kai watched in horror as a large collection of debris fell on top of her.

"WILLOW!" Kai yelled, before another rock fell and knocked him unconscious.

-----

Slowly opening his crimson eyes Kai noticed a mass of purple hair to his right.

"Nice for you to join us, Young Kai," Boris said obviously angry. Deciding to make his anger known he began to yell. "What did you think you were doing! You destroyed half of the abbey! What do you have to say for yourself!"

"Where's Willow?" Kai asked worried.

"Dead," Boris said bluntly. "Your stunt killed her."

"No…no," Kai said shaking his head as tears filled his eyes.

"Don't show weakness!" Boris yelled, slapping Kai across the face. Smirking he looked at Kai closely. "How does it feel to be a murderer?"

"No! No!" Kai yelled as he covered his ears and shook his head frantically. "No!"

Reality

"NO!" Kai screamed springing up in his hospital bed. Raising his hand to wipe sweat from his forehead he noticed the bandages. "Fuck." Throwing himself back onto his pillows he let out an aggravated sigh.

"Kai?" Dr. Rzewski called tentatively.

Snapping his head in the direction of the voice he glared. "Who are you?" Kai snapped, his crimson eyes flaring like fire…and maybe a little distress that couldn't be masked.

"Lillian Rzewski. I'm your doctor."

"Why?"

"Why, what?"

"Why, did you save me! I did this for a reason!" Kai exclaimed, angry.

"Not a very good one."

"You don't know me!" Kai exclaimed. "You don't even know why I did this!"

"Then, why don't you tell me?"

"I can't even tell my friends! What makes you think I'll tell you!"

"Kai, you can't keep this in," Lillian said.

"And who the hell could I tell!"

"I'm not saying you have to call a press conference," Lillian said. "I'm just saying that you need to confide in someone."

"Like who?" Kai asked looking at Lillian in anger. She doesn't know a thing about me! Who is she to tell me what to do!

"Any of the adults or your friends."

"Please," Kai scoffed. "The adults would send me to some freaking asylum and the only friends I have that I could talk to about this hate me."

"What about me?"

"What about you?"

"Could you talk to me?"

"I've never even met you before," Kai said. "Why would you care? Besides I thought counselors did that."

"That's where you're wrong," Lillian said looking at her lap.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I've known you since you were a child," Lillian said, her eyes tearing.

"How the hell would you have known me?" Kai asked slightly interested.

"I knew your mother."

Anime Girl23: DONE! Okay, I am soooo sorry that it took me so long to update! I'd been typing this up like a week after I posted and then once I got to the part where you go into Kai's mind I got writer's block. I couldn't decide whether to do what I did or leave it a mystery.

Kai: What are you going to do to me now?

Anime Girl23: That's a surprise. Now go press the button that says "GO!" and leave a review!

Note: I've fixed the typos in Chapter 1! So re-read it if you were confused in the last chapter!
