REVELATIONS
"No, wait," I cried, "please don't leave," I ran from my hiding spot and skidded to a stop in front of Kai and my friends. I leaned to far forward and I felt myself falling. I most have looked like the biggest moron, my mouth open in a silent scream, which is good in a way because I would bet anything that it would be a totally girly scream, which would only serve to further embarrass me. My arms are flaying wildly as I desperately try to regain my balance. I shut my eyes and I realise that my efforts are not working and the ground is rushing up quickly to meet my face. And then I feel strange, a delicate warmth has enveloped me and I feel like I am suspended. I open my eyes slowly and realise that I am suspended. My face is not in the dirt, I am saved. I look up at the face of my saviour and blush as I discover scarlet eyes looking down into mine. Kai, he saved me, his face is so close to mine, I am having so much trouble breathing, but I also know that I couldn't move from his arms even if I wanted to, my legs were resembling jelly right at this moment, I feared if he released me, I would collapse anyway.
I just stared up at him, my heart beating erratically, my breath caught in my throat. I am hypnotized.
"What do you think you are doing? Let go of him, right this very instant!" a voice demanded.
Kai let go of my suddenly, I stumbled but straightened up before I fell. I looked to my left and there was Max, his cerulean gaze blazing a hole through Kai and Rei standing at his side looking equally as - um - pissed off. I watched, mute, as Max stalked past me and jabbed his forefinger into Kai's chest.
"How dare you touch him, you...you fiend?"
I stifled a snigger as a caught a glimpse of Rei's face, he didn't seem to believe what Max had just said either. I took a deep breath and moved to Kai's side, I stood in front of him, in a way I wanted to protect him from Max's fury. "Max," I said gently. When he didn't respond, I called louder, "Max." He turned his gaze to me and instantly his eyes softened. "It's ok Max, if he hadn't have caught me, I think I would still be on the ground with my face in the dirt."
"But...but."
"It really is ok Max," I looked imploringly to Rei, but he only stared at the floor. He seemed embarrassed to be caught in this situation. I turned away from them then and looked a Kai. His head was lowered, his eyes on the ground, his arms - for once - at his sides and not crossed defensively over his chest. "Kai," I whispered. He didn't look up. Inwardly I thought, 'why the hell won't anyone listen to me!', but I tried again. I took a hesitant step forwards, "Kai, look at me." Again he didn't answer me, but as I studied his profile I registered the tiny shake of his head. I took another step towards him, but stopped when I saw him tense slightly. I completely forgot about Max and Rei; I forgot that they were there, that they could see me and Kai. I reached out a tentative hand and placed it gently under Kai's chin, I forced him to look at me. Then in that one moment, my breath left me, I gasped. I starred at Kai, who looked at me defiantly; silvery tears welled in his crimson eyes.
"Don't look at me." I heard him whisper.
I couldn't say anything in return. I was stunned into silence - which seemed to be happening to me a lot lately. I opened my mouth, when I had finally thought of something to say, but I was most rudely interrupted by Max.
"No, no Tyson it isn't ok."
I swung around and gaped at Max. He had obviously been stewing in his juices, he was trembling and I noticed that his fists kept clenching. I saw Rei elbow him in the ribs.
"No Rei, I know that I said I would stay out of it but I - just - can't," he emphasised the last three words all the while staring over Tyson's shoulder presumably at Kai. "He hurt my best friend. He betrayed us all in Russia, but you," he pointed at Tyson, "you forgave him and welcomed him back with open arms. I know that I still held a grudge, which has now been reinforced ten fold by what happened yesterday." He breathed heavily at the end of his spiel.
I couldn't say anything for a moment of two. I shook my head to clear my thought, "So what are you telling me Max; that I am too forgiving? That's rubbish; Kai is as much my friend as the two of you and Kenny are. I would forgive you if you did such a thing..." again I was interrupted.
"But the point is that, neither me, Rei or Kenny, would ever do that and we would never raise a hand against you. Can you not see that Tyson?"
"I can see that you are all are different people and I know for a fact that we all deal with our problems in a different way. Kai doesn't like to be touched, I know that and I should have respected his wishes. I am not condoning what he did but I provoked him. It is my fault."
"No don't ever think that Tyson. He is a bad egg and he doesn't deserve anything that you can give him."
"Everyone has the right to an opinion..."
For the first time in a long while, Rei spoke, "And ours is that he doesn't deserve you."
I looked at them as if I was looking at them for the first time in my life. "Ever one deserves a second chance guys. I know that I am hot-headed and stubborn most of the time but I truly believe this and some people...some people deserve as many chances as it takes. Kai is one of those people and I am not going to give up. I forgave him for betraying us in Russia, I forgave him for this," I gestured to my face, "I've already forgiven him and I'm the one he hurt, so why can't you guys?" I looked at them imploringly.
Rei was looking at the ground, his eyes half closed; he was biting his bottom lip. His cheeks where flushed with a rosy hue. I turned my gaze to Max, he was looking at me. His eyes had softened, he looked ashamed "Tyson, I..."
"It's ok Max; everything will be all right in the end."
He nodded in agreement as did Rei a heartbeat later. I turned around again, I had forgotten about Kai being there when I was having - uh - my discussion with Max and Rei. My eyes widened, he wasn't there. I scanned the area and ran to my front gates, and then out of the corner of my eye I noticed a blue flash disappearing around a corner and just like that I was off like a shot. Was that Kai? I had to know.
