Frozen Love

Chapter 4

The fire burned all night and it was all because Kai continued to put whatever dry wood he could find into the flames. He didn't drift off once. His thoughts kept him awake all night.

'It's odd…I've been in tons of life or death situations in my life…but never have I had to look over someone else before. They're lives are my responsibility…I have to take care of them. They won't survive on they're own. It's because I'm used to being without care and supplies that I'm the best choice to lead them…but still…woods like these can be very unpredictable. Almost as unpredictable as the weather will be…' he turned took look outside the cave. A storm had fallen upon them. The wind was howling and the snow came down as if someone was pouring a bag of flour into a bowl. Kai could barely see outside the cave at all.

'At this rate we'll be snowed in by morning.' Kai sighed and put some more wood on the fire.

Tyson, who had been watching Kai, was also worried about the snowstorm.

'What are we gonna do…what if we can't get out of the cave tomorrow! We'll be trapped here for the rest of our lives! Stuck in this tiny, deserted, dark cave forever! Then again….being stuck in a little cave with Kai might not be so bad…did I just think that? No way….I am defiantly NOT attracted to Kai THAT way…..or am I?'

The way the fire's light lit up Kai's face....it brought out Kai's crimson eyes…

'His eyes…so serious….so….lonely looking. Even in his eyes Kai never drops his guard….I wonder what he's thinking?'

Tyson allowed his mind to wonder to thoughts of his crimson eyed captain but neglected to remember what he was supposed to be doing.

"Tyson it would make me a lot more comfortable if you'd stop staring." Tyson's mouth dropped as he realized he'd been staring.

'Crap he caught me…'

"Oooops….sorry Kai. Guess I let myself drift off for a second there." He gave an annoying laugh that Kai rolled his eyes to.

"How long have you been awake?" he asked. Tyson froze.

"Well…to be honest…I was never asleep." Kai didn't reply, he just continued to stare at the fire.

"What about you? Don't you want to sleep?"

"No….I have to feed the fire."

"Oh…" Tyson mumbled, unsure of how to respond.

A moment of silence filled the cave. Tyson sat awkwardly across from Kai, occasionally looking from side to side feeling very nervous.

"Are you scared?" Tyson asked after a while. Kai's gaze rose to him.

"Of what?" he replied. Tyson's eyes widened slightly.

"Of what? You mean being out here without food or supplies doesn't scare you even a little?" Kai shrugged.

"No." Tyson gaped.

"Your kidding me? Even I'm a bit scared! I mean we could die out here!"

"And you went through that whole 'we'll be ok we just have to try' speech and now your saying your scared?" Kai retorted. Tyson was a bit stunned but replied.

"Yes…I am…Kai…haven't you thought about how we might never be able to go back home?"

'Home or hell?' Kai thought to himself.

"We might never be able to go back to our families and friends! You mean to tell me that your not the least bit worried that you won't make it out of here alive?"

'Family? Friends? I have no such thing….'

"No I'm not Tyson." Tyson wanted to slap him.

"How can you say that!"

"I don't feel the same way you do Tyson so just back off." those words cut deep despite how calm they were said. Tyson was in disbelief that Kai wasn't even the least bit afraid.

'Or maybe he just won't show it.....' he thought. Then again it was possible that Kai was just trying to keep his usual cold mask up. Tons of possibilites ran through Tyson's mind but non of them seemed to fit....'

'I guess I'll just have to figure him out myself then. Only question is...how?'

Morning came and luckily for the Bladebreakers, the snow had calmed down and the cave door wasn't filled up with snow. They could escape the small cave and continue their journey up the mountain.

"I'm hungry!" Tyson wailed. Everyone just sighed, frustrated. Tyson hadn't stopped talking about food since they left the cave. But they couldn't scold the boy...only because everyone else was hungry too. But those rules didn't apply to...

"Tyson shut up!"

Kai

"What! I'm hungry so I'll complain about it!" the dragoon retored.

"Well stop torturing everyone else with your stupid whining! We're all hungry but you don't hear anyone else complaining!"

"I don't care! I just want food!"

"Goddammit Tyson!" Kai was infuriated. It didn't take much to piss him off but Tyson was one to always cross the line. The rest of the team kept their sanity and decided not to bother they're already annoyed captian.

"Come on! We need to eat something!"

"We know that but do you see any food out here?" Tyson looked around and only saw snow.

"No." he replied.

"Gee...I could of told you that." Kai replied sarcasticly.

"Guys please..." Ray moaned now getting annoyed himself at the fighting.

"This is just great! If we don't freeze to death we'll sure starve to death!" Kenny shouted.

"Not you too Chief..." Max groaned.

"Can't you see they're right! There's no food anywhere!" the younger boy was now becoming as mad as Kai and Tyson.

"All right that's enough!" Ray shouted.

"Will everyone just calm down? Now why don't you guys take a break...Max and I will go in search of food ok? You guys just stay here and relax....we'll be right back."

"But Ray..."

"No buts Kenny. It's settled. Come on Max." The blonde nodded.

"At least take me with you!" he begged. Ray was about to protest but figured maybe it was best for Kai and Tyson to be alone to 'sort things out'.

"Ok fine."

"Ray you gotta be kidding me!" Tyson objected.

"Just stay here Tyson." Tyson sighed and sat down on the ground.

"Fine just hurry back." he grumbled. Ray smiled.

"We'll try. Let's go guys." So the three headed off into the woods in search of food, leaving Kai and Tyson alone on the road that they had been following.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to split us up Ray?" Max asked.

"Honestly I don't know...but I think everyone needs a break from each other...."

"But Kai and Tyson together? I wouldn't be surprised if we went back and found them beating each other to death." Ray smiled

'Those two being together wouldn't be so bad....they just need to figure that out.'

"It's cold."

"No shit."

"Since when do you cuss?"

"Shut up Tyson."

Tyson sighed. He couldn't open his mouth and not say something that would piss Kai off.

"I'm bored...." he said. Kai didn't respond, he just shut his eyes and tried to ignore the boy.

"I'm really bored...."

But he found that hard to accomplish.

"Kai..."

"Grr..what?" he said annoyed.

"Gee just trying to strike conversation. Kill me for being nice."

'Or maybe i'll just kill you...'

Kai wanted to scream. He was so frustrated but he was glad Ray had taken charge when he had. Otherwise Kai might have just snapped. Tyson shivered as the wind began to pick up.

"Well this isn't good...." he said. Kai stared up at the now clouding skies.

"We should find shelter." he said.

"Why?" As if on cue, snow began to fall fierciely from the sky.

"That's why...." Kai muttered.

"We gotta get out of here!" Tyson shouted. Kai nodded.

"Come on!"

The two of them began to walk farther down the road in search of some kind of shelter.

'We'll never get anywhere if we keep going down the road...our best bet is to cut through the woods.'

"Tyson! Follow me!" Kai shouted and then he turned and beagn to head through the woods.

'He's kidding me....'

"Kai are you sure?!"

"Just come on!"

Tyson sighed but obliged and followed Kai through the woods. As each minute passed, it got more and more difficult for the boys to walk through the thick snow and harsh winds. Tyson clutched onto his jacket so it wouldn't blow off him.

"Kai! Slow down!"

'If he keeps moving so fast…I won't be able to see him!'

'He's falling behind…I'll lose track of him if he slows down any more…'

"Tyson hurry up!"

"I'm doing the best I can!" Kai sighed and reached his hand out and grasped Tyson's. The dragoons eyes widened.

'What the….'

"Just hold on so we don't get separated. I don't want to have to come back out and look for you." Tyson, shocked that Kai even cared, nodded and grasped Kai's hand. They trudged through the deepening snow and soon, Kai noticed that there weren't as many trees surrounding them.

'I think we're moving too far away from the main road but we have to…'

"What the…" the ground below them began to shake.

"Kai what's going on?" Before Kai could respond, the ground below them collapsed.

'A cliff! Shit!' Kai cursed.

"Ahhh!" Kai didn't have enough time to comprehend what was going on, neither did Tyson and the next thing the two boys knew…was darkness…a cold…darkness.
