Past, Present and Future
Chapter 3: The Present
As Kai regained consciousness a familiar aching pain washed over him making it harder to open his eyes, he groaned inwardly and proceeded to falling back to sleep.
"Oh no you don't!" yelled a child-like voice,
Kai turned his head to the sound of the voice then saw a large blur of yellow run towards him and land heavily on top of him.
"God Rei said you sleep a lot, but this is stupid!" Kai opened his eyes and was met with a mop of bright blonde hair with a holly wreath on top of it, a pair of shining cerulean eyes, the boy wore a red jumper with white fur at the edges and long black trousers that covered his shoes, he had red woolly gloves with the finger edges cut off and a necklace around his neck with a pendent of a Christmas star that kept changing colour every few seconds. The young boy noticed Kai was awake,
"Hey Kai" he yelled enthusiastically
"Um…hi?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Erm…"
"Sure you do" the ghost rolled backwards off the sofa onto the floor and sat in a childish position looking up at Kai "So what do you want to do?" Kai looked at the boy questionably
"Aren't you supposed to tell me?"
"Well technically yes" he held his pendent in his hands " but there's no point me showing you something your not bothered about, you won't learn anything" he laughed
"Um yeah suppose that makes sense" answered Kai "what sort of thing should I say?"
"Well Kai" the spirit stood up in a fake hero pose " I am the ghost of Christmas Present!"
"How's that supposed to help?"
"Well I can tell anything that's happening right now"
"Well since I'm here right now, I sorta already know what's going on"
"Yes but you don't know what going on in England or Canada or Australia or…"
"Ok I get the point"
"So…"
"I don't know you choose" the ghost frowned and pulled the necklace over Kai head as well as his own
"What are you doing?" asked Kai
"Seeing what your heart desires to know," he answered absentmindedly, the colours in the pendent swirled around wildly in a marble of bright lights, when they finally stopped the pendent was dark blue around the edge turning brighter as it fell into the middle.
"Huh?"
"You're worried about him aren't you?"
"Pardon?"
"Your friend, every person in this world has a colour or light or some have both like your friend, you want to know if he's ok?"
"Yes"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of Kai, it's natural to be worried about the people you love"
"What did you say?" choked Kai
"I said come on," said the spirit, as he grabbed his arm and pulled him to the door, the door frame glowed white as the ghost pushed him through, Kai shut his eyes expecting the headache to come back, it never did.
He looked around; he was stood in the hospital waiting room "how the-…" gasped Kai to himself, in a twirl of sparkles the spirit appeared next to him
"You ready" he whispered sadly, Kai felt an aching sickness appear in his stomach, what if Tyson was…
"Yeah" he whispered quietly
"He's down the left corridor room 64" the spirit pointed, Kai muttered a 'k' and walked towards it, but turned around to face the ghost
"You know what's wrong with him don't you?" the ghost nodded
"But it would be best for you to find out yourself" he said sadly his child-like expression was gone, Kai began walking again.
He caught sight of he two friends (1) and wondered for a moment at how they looked so much like the ghosts, Max's cheerless voice broke him out of his thoughts
"He'll be ok, right Ray?" Ray looked at him with watery eyes
"They don't know Max" his voice was cracked with sobs
"He has to wake up," stated Max to know one particular, Ray spoke to Max as you would a small child
"He's in a deep coma Max" explained Ray in a strained voice " he lost a lot of blood…"
"He CAN'T die Ray!" cried Max a heart wrenching voice racked with sobs, tears rained down his cheeks, Ray embraced the boy tightly and let him cry into his shoulder.
"We wont Max, he's stronger than this" he comforted "the nurse said that if he hears our voices he might wake up faster" Max didn't reply, Ray looked down, Max as fast asleep on his shoulder leaning up against him, Ray picked him up gently in bridal style and sat down with him on a row of three waiting room chairs, stroking his hair unconsciously.
Kai smiled sadly at the scene, and then turned his gaze to the back 64 on the light blue door, he didn't have to open it; he just phased through in a ghost-like way, his blood coloured eyes filled with bitter cold tears at he entered, Tyson lay deathly still on the bed with his arm down by his sides with various tubes and plasters coming from them, his eyes were closed but held deep black rings around them, his lips were tinted a light blue colour, a think plastic tube came out from his mouth and connected to a machine that was beeping nearly every five seconds, if it wasn't for the slow regular beeping of the heart monitor and the slight rise and fall of his chest, Kai would of thought him dead.
"Oh god Tyson" sobbed Kai, cold tears fell down his cheek onto the floor but Kai didn't seem to care, he went to reach for Tyson's hand but phased through it, Kai breathing became slow and choked, he couldn't save him.
"Oh god please don't let him…" he broke down, he fell to the floor and cried. A hand touched his shoulder
"I'm sorry Kai" came a small voice; Kai looked up at the ghost, not caring that someone saw him cry
"Please don't him die" he pleaded " he can't I…"
"I'm sorry Kai, it's not up to me, his fate lies with the future, not present" Kai eyes flickered with betrayal "it's time to go Kai"
"No, I can't leave what if…"
"Sorry Kai" echoed a voice
"No!" Kai looked around, he was back the dojo his eyes stung with all the tears, he buried his head in his hands, he didn't feel the eerie cold chill run up his spine or notice the dark figure in the door way.
(1)They can't see Kai or the spirits.
