Ps. I don't think that this chapter is a good one but hey!

He wrapped his arms around her as protectively he could manage. The blood stained clothes that hung off her floppy frame dripped with a red liquid Kai couldn't even bear to think about. Her head lay against his muscular chest. So little warmth, but there was still something there, something that burnt in the depths of her heart fighting no be never put out. He moved his lips to her ear and said in nothing more than a whisper…

"I'm here… don't worry… now… everything will be… OK…"

These few words hurt so much to say. But he knew that they were too late. HE was too late! Why did he ever leave her? Why! Oh yeah… it was for his own sake. Kai didn't think of anyone around him but himself, he had always been like that and forever will be. But this time thinking about just his own life lead to consequences that broke his heart. Now the only person that he could have ever loved was gone… for what seemed forever…

Just at that moment, something happened to Kai that he had never experienced in his life. That thing was something that he had always been told not to do, and so he never did. Even when he felt so alone he thought that he may never see the sun rise again. Even when he was beaten so hard he thought that he would die!

Salty liquid fell from his face and onto the sleeve of his arm. Kai stared at it. It didn't matter for how long for, but he just looked, thinking…

What… what is this…? Don't tell me… it can't be…

He was crying…

That's right… Kai Hiwatari, the person everyone thought could never show emotion was… crying…!

Kai had now broken down every barrier that had ever stood in his way of life. No he had, he wasn't ever going to turn back, ever! The words of his Grand Farther echoed constantly round his head. 'Never cry… Crying is weak… never cry…' For the first time he pushed them away, this time forever!

Tayo… this girl, this somehow loveable girl showed affection to him. And in doing so, helped him come over his biggest fear in life – sadness. Never had he felt sorrow, it had always been anger that he felt which just built up in side of him, boiling until its' point of explosion. This burning emotion helped him to Bey-Battle to his best ability, but there had always been something missing. Was it passion? Maybe… but who or what for? It wasn't necessarily the sport he felt passion for, but something else. Someone else….

Now he had started he couldn't stop. Tear after endless tear feel down his cheeks, and over his blue, painted shark fins that shaped his handsome face perfectly. They gently landed on Tayo's forehead one after each other. They glinted gently in the light of the full moon.

Her eyes were still wide… but no longer had that stony haze…

A small ember of fire had returned to them…
