REVELATIONS

"Don't Rei," pleaded a softly spoken voice.

Kai stood dumbfounded, his crimson eyes widened and his mouth open in what one could only call shock. His eyes took in the sight that the younger boy made. Tyson, stood in the doorway facing the back yard in which the Bladebreakers trained, he didn't look at Kai or even Rei. Instead he had his navy eyes cast downwards and he studied the dirt at his feet like it had the answer to all of his problems.

"Please don't," again he beseeched of the neko-jin.

He slowly raised his face, his almost raven hair falling away from his face to reveal a split lip, and an almost livid bruise that covered his left eye and his temple. Kai saw a trickle of dried blood that had wound its way down the side of the boy's face. Kai had never felt so ashamed in his entire life than he did right at this moment. Tyson met his eyes and blinked impassively, Kai was astounded to see no emotion showing on his face. He had expected a lot of yelling from the rowdy lad. Instead he had been berated by the quiet one, ignored by the hyperactive one and he couldn't even guess what Kenny would say when he found out considering the reactions he'd gotten from the other three.

Rei watched Kai with curious eyes. He saw the aloof boy, really a young man now; bow his head, casting his eyes Earthward. And he almost gave a jump for joy. He lived; he actually had enough decency and enough of a conscience to at least feel ashamed of what he had done to Tyson. He turned his gaze back to the boy in question and frowned as he saw the extent of his injuries. He looked into Tyson's midnight eyes, realising the damage to his face was nothing to what his pride had suffered. But the orbs shone with a mixture of emotions pain, humiliation and but most prominently with life. He sighed, "Fine, whatever, it's your call." He turned and walked into the house.

A voice from beside him snapped him out of his reverie. He watched Rei disappear into the house. He saw Tyson step closer to him and he tensed, then immediately cursed himself for doing so. He ordered his body to relax and he struggled to control his thoughts. He was disgusted with himself. Tyson was too young, too innocent to bear such a marring to his perfect caramel coloured skin.

"What was Rei talking about, what don't I see?"

"Never mind, just forget it."

"No way, it is not ever day that I get yelled at and berated by the quietest member of our team."

"Well it is not every day that you raise your hand against one out your own," Tyson bit back. Feeling satisfaction that the hint of a rosy hue that tainted Kai's creamy pale cheeks. At least he had the decency to look somewhat ashamed.

"Tell me what it is that I do not see. What am I blind to?" he demanded.

Tyson sighed dejectedly, "Many, many things I'm afraid. Forget it Kai, forget all of it." And with that he turned on his hell, leaving a somewhat flabbergasted Kai in his wake. Kai was stunned, 'what the hell had just happened?' he asked himself as he stared after the younger boy's retreating figure.
