Chapter 9 A Lot of Pain

Just as James pulled the trigger, a scream was heard:

"NO!" Takao had woken up; he threw himself and pushed James so he missed Miranda by an inch. Even though James had a silencer on, the shot was still very loud, and Miranda obviously flinched. But Takao was weak, the sickness was wearing his body down and he didn't have much chance against James, but he tried.

"No… don't… Takao… I'm not worth it…" Miranda stuttered out weakly as she lay there on the floor. But Takao had already lured James into the living room and even though he was sick, he was going to defeat James… of die trying. Suddenly the door burst open and Kai came in, he sat down by Miranda looking horrified.

"Help… Takao… the police… is on its… way… he's sick… he can die… hurry…" Then, Miranda lost conscious and Kai stood up, eyes flaming and with a burning hatred against James, the young man ran into the living room.

James raised his gun and fired again, hitting the side of Kai's left leg. Kai growled in pain and launched onto James, the fire wings still burning. Kai's hatred against the man turned the inside of him on flames, and he started to growl. James started to shriek in pain as Kai fell backwards, no longer having wings.

On James' throat was a burn mark shaped like a hand. Kai was screaming in pain, his head was burning up, but James' cries were louder, his very inside was turned in flames. And then, through he throat came some smoke and he fell down on the ground unconscious. Now the policemen and the ambulance personal burst in through the door. They gasped at the sight. A woman, beaten badly, out cold on the hall floor, a midnight blue haired boy lying beaten and unconscious on the stairs, a man, lying unconscious on the floor of the living room, a bit of smoke coming from his body, and the one they recognized as the corner of the south, the keeper of fire, Kai Hiwatari, sunken down on his knees gripping his head and crying in agony.

The paramedics took care of Miranda first; Takao had woken up as they burst in through the door, and now he hurried over to Kai.

"Omg Kai! Are you alright!" Kai noticed a clock, 00.25am. It was now Takao's birthday… Takao had to bond with Dragoon.
"Come on Tyson… eh… Takao… you have to bond with Dragoon…" Kai stood up, ignoring the pain he felt and hurried to the Kinomiya dojo where Megumi sat at the kitchen table. When Takao and Kai came in through the door, Megumi grabbed Takao, pulled him close and over and over again she chanted his name with tears falling from her eyes.

"Mama…" Was all Takao could say. Then, Megumi led Takao to the training room of the dojo, there, on something that looked like an altar, a sword stood with the edge down in the ground. Suddenly, all Takao saw was the sword.

He let go of his mothers hand and walked up to it, instincts telling him what to do. He reached out his hands over the handle of the blade, and he felt the air around him pulsate, coming to life. Megumi, Kai, Narumi, Mr Kinomiya and Mr Hiwatari all backed away from Takao as he and the sword started to glow in a blue pulsating light.

Takao closed his eyes and in his mind he saw Dragoon take form. The master dragon had long silvery white hair, fair skin and stormy blue eyes, very similar to Takao's. He wore blue robes and he had a smile on his face. "Hello, young Takao." Takao looked at the man and bowed and said: "Hello, Master Dragoon." The man smiled again and said: "It's time for our bonding, give me your hand." Takao reached out his hand and Dragoon took it in both of his hands. Suddenly, Takao felt a warm feeling spreading through his body, as if something warm was filling him up, completing him. And when Tyson opened his eyes again, it was as if he was whole, and all of his lost memories were returned.

"We have to get back over there," the master dragon said through Takao's mouth, at the time, Takao's eyes were dim to show that it wasn't him talking. Kai nodded and he and Takao hurried back. On the way over, Takao could hear Dragoon inside his head: "The diary, give the police the diary." Takao nodded and said: "Yes, master dragoon."

Once they had arrived at the Granger house, Takao rushed past everyone and got the diary from under his mattress. He ran back downstairs and found the policeman in charge of the investigation. He quickly gave him the diary and told him that it explained everything. Then he sat down by Miranda who had regained conscious but was taken care of by the paramedics.

She gave him a weak smile before she laid a little blue pill in his hand and said:

"This pill… will take away the sickness… it takes away the affect of the memory stripping pills… those are making you sick right now…" Takao nodded and quickly swallowed the pill.

"Miranda… for all that it's worth… I forgive you… I read your diary… and I forgive you." He took her hand and gave it a light squeeze before the paramedics took Miranda away on the stretcher and drove her of to the hospital. James was taken to the hospital too, but he was going to be prosecuted for the kidnapping and other crimes.

First now, when everything seemed to be over, Takao noticed the bleeding shot wound in Kai's side. His eyes widened in shock and fear.

"Kai!" The dual haired teen's attention turned to the bluenett. "Omg… you're shot! He… he shot you!" First now, Kai noticed the shot wound in his side that had been bleeding this entire time, suddenly, dark spots appeared in front of his eyes and he felt dizzy. Right before he lost conscious, all he saw was Takao's horrified face.
