Chapter 3
Hilary and the Bladebreakers were sitting in the hospitals waiting room. Kai had been taken straight to the critical ward, then to the operating theatre. Chibi Kai was slowly rocking backwards and forwards.
Suddenly the doors to the theatre burst open. A crowed of tired doctors and nurses stamped their way over to the Bladebreakers.
"We're so sorry..."
"We really did try our hardest..."
"But, you see, we couldn't..."
"I'm afraid to say that..."
"Well, the thing is..."
"It really wasn't our fault..."
"What was he doing in front of a truck in the first place?"
Tyson felt like someone had filled his stomach with lead. He slowly stood up, his face a cold mask of anger. Max couldn't help but think that Tyson looked a lot like Kai. (A/N: oh my god it's a miracle!)
"What do mean?" said Tyson. "You say you tried your hardest, but it's kinda obvious that your best just wasn't good enough. Now turn around, go on, and save my friend!"
A slow, sarcastic clapping sound came from the doorway.
Every one turned to see the Demolition Boys unknown girl standing in the said doorway. Tala lowered his hands and stalked over.
"A little birdie told us that the infamous Kai Hiwatari was dead. We came to...pay our respects..."
The girl hurried forward. She had shoulder length, spiky red hair, was amazingly short and had the same face markings as Kai, only in red.
"Is it true?" she asked.
Tyson glanced at a doctor, who sadly nodded. The girl let out a wail, before shoving her way into Kai's room.
Tala shook his head.
"You must excuse my sister. She and Kai were...close..."
A receptionist strode forward, offering one of the doctors a phone. He walked off a short distance, and the others could here him talking about the extent of Kai's injuries and how he had sustained them. Walking back, the doctor offered Tyson the phone.
"Hello?" said Tyson.
"Hi! I'm a reporter for the BBA magazine, and I was wondering if you could tell me-"
"Hey! Are you that guy who did that scope on Rei and Mariah?"
"Why, yes I am!"
"Then in that case, I'm not telling you anything! You broke them up!"
"Really? Maybe you'd like to tell me the details, over coffee! But for now, how is our poor Kai?"
"None of your business."
"So, his dead?"
"What! How did you find out?"
"I didn't! I truly didn't know of his exact condition, but now I have a headline!!! 'Fare well, Captain Kai!' or 'The Death of Kai. The Death of Beyblade?' How do they sound? Or maybe-"
"Look, his...er...not dead! His just a little...unwell..."
"How unwell?"
"A little...look, I don't have time to-"
The door to Kai's room burst open, and the Bladebreakers gasped at the sight of Kai. He was pale and obviously very weak, but alive! Tyson forgot the journalist on the other end of the phone line in his joy.
"Oh yeah! You're alive, Kai old buddy!"
"Alive you say? Now that's a headline! 'Kai, back from the dead' or 'Zombie Kai. Is he really alive?' What do you think?"
Tyson groaned and hung up the phone. Tala and the other Demolition Boys glared at Kai suspiciously.
"Is he really alive? As in, kicking?" said Spencer.
Kai nodded, looking worn out.
"Oh, man!" whined Ian. "No fair!"
"We came here to see Kai dead! How dare you take that away from us!" growled Tala.
Bryan glances, almost nervously, out the window.
"We could get into major trouble if we go back to the Abbey, especially since we never had permission to leave in the first place," he said.
Tala nodded.
"Come on, sis, we're outta here!"
Tala's sister looked up at Kai, who was leaning heavily on her. She gave a sad smile, then shook her head.
"Sorry, Tala," she said. "My place is here. With Kai."
One of the doctors wiped away a small tear. She sniffed.
"That is one of the most romantic, beautiful things I have ever seen!"
Tala pretended to chuck, then waved to his teammates to follow him. In the doorway, he paused to look back at his sister, who was standing with her arms around Kai. Tala rolled his eyes then left. The phone rang.
"You haven't been watching freaky movies again, have you?" joked Max, looking at Kai's girlfriend. To his surprise, she nodded.
"Yeah, I watched one..." she gasped. "7 days ago!"
She let go of Kai and edged towards the phone. She picked it up.
"Hello?" she said nervously. An ugly voice was heard on the other end.
"Your time is up!"
The girl let out a small scream and dropped the phone. She backed away with a scared look on her face. Everyone else stared at the phone.
"Hello? Hello?" came a small voice from the phone. Chibi Kai picked it up.
"What do you want?" he squeaked. Tala's sister helped Kai to sit down, but she paused, looking at Chibi Kai, then Kai, then Chibi, then Kai, Chibi Kai, Kai, Chibi Kai, Kai etc.etc.
"As I was saying, your time is up! I'm sick of waiting for the facts. I want to speak to Kai himself!"
Chibi Kai sighed. It was that journalist. Chibi Kai didn't bother to speak to him, he just hung up. Turning to face Kai, Tyson frowned.
"The doctors said that you were dead! What are you doing here?"
"You sound disappointed," said Kai dryly.
"No, no! I'm just...confused..." said Tyson. Kai also frowned.
"I remember being hit by a truck. I blacked out, and then woke up again in the hospital. Some gave me a strong anesthetic, and I fell asleep. Some time later, I had the strangest dream. I was floating in darkness and this voice called out to me. I saw this face...it lent down and-"Kai stopped, looking embarrassed. Tala's sister looked just as uncomfortable.
"Yes?" Said Hilary.
"Whoever the person or god was they...they...er...well, they kissed me, and I woke up," finished Kai, blushing. One of the female doctors sighed. Another (male) doctor nodded in a knowing way.
"Hmmm...Yes, the kiss of life. It only works when you are kissed by your one true love."
Tala's sister coughed slightly. Kai jumped slightly, before turning to his friends.
"Erm, err, this is Kara, my girlfriend, unfortunately also Tala's sister," he said.
Kara gave a nod, and blushed when she saw the way that Hilary was looking at her. The other girl was glaring at Kara with a surprisingly ugly look in her eyes.
A few days later, the Bladebreakers, Hilary and Chibi Kai were visiting Kai. He was coming out of the hospital in a few days. Hilary opened her BBA magazine and gasped at the headline. 'Kai brought back to life with love!'
The story said how Kai had been hit by a truck, how he had stopped breathing and had been given up for dead. Apparently, his friends had refused to give up on him and had called his girlfriend who saved him by giving him the kiss of love.
Hilary threw the magazine down with a snort of disgust. Every one turned to face her.
"Hey, what's up, Hil?" said Tyson, in a concerned voice. The Bladebreakers smirked at each other while Hilary scowled.
"It's nothing, just-"she stopped, listening. Outside the room she could make out the distinctive voice of Voltaire Hiwatari. Hilary turned to Kai to say something, but he had frozen and was staring at the door. It was obvious that he had heard it too.
"Everyone get out, or hid," said Kai in a flat, toneless voice that gave nothing away. The others frowned but said nothing. They quickly ducked into a cupboard.
Voltaire came striding into the room. He and Kai stared at each other in silence until Voltaire casually lent forward and hit Kai in the back of the head. Kai's body stiffened and he fell back onto the bed. Voltaire took his hand away, revealing the small needle he had used to sedate Kai.
With forced patience and growing horror, Max, Tyson, Hilary, Chibi Kai, Kenny and Rei watched as Voltaire slowly and deliberately broke Kai's middle fingers. He worked his way through the digits until each of Kai's fingers were broken, in at least 3 places. Again with the carefulness and precision of a doctor, Voltaire set the breaks, in the wrong places. The machine that recorded and showed Kai's heart beat speed up, although Kai's face showed no emotion.
Hilary had to swallow a gasp as Voltaire pulled out a sharp knife and turned Kai onto his stomach. Voltaire pulled up Kai's top and began to carve into the flesh. The heart monitor began to beep faster and louder, although again you wouldn't know it from looking at Kai's face.
Kai must of regained consciousness because one hand moved forward and hit the button to call a nurse. Voltaire jumped and quickly put away the knife. He backed out of the room and Kai's friends watched him hurry away before they burst out of the cupboard. They were unable to keep the disgusted and horrified expressions off their faces. The heart monitor had already slowed to a normal beat.
When the nurse came in, Kai greeted her with a killer smile and an apologetic wink.
"Sorry," Kai murmured. "I accidentally pressed the button."
The young nurse simpered and nodded, agreeing with Kai and even offering to bring in something to eat or drink, which Kai declined. Rei shook his head.
"God, you're a charmer!" Kai sniffed in distain.
"I apologize if I chose to hid my charismatic self from you barbarians."
