Chapter Nine: Staying
Two crimson eyes slowly opened, deep circles beneath and a damp body to welcome the new day. The same nightmares had haunted his dreams, a cycle being made of black and red. Black as the night and red as blood. The two colors came together, but never really mixed. They weren't meant to, but in dreams, reality is only a shadow.
His body ached, his leg numb from a constraint. The phoenix glanced down at the twisting of the sheets that had locked his foot down. Slowly, he pried the dull white sheets from his leg and stretched the soar muscles in his back out, not caring for every jolt of pain he felt. He couldn't keep resting after all. He had already missed so much training.
"Kai, you're awake." A raven-haired boy smiled, as he walked into the room with a tray of food. "I bought you breakfast."
The phoenix didn't speak, but acknowledged the other with a slight nod and look that said 'thank you'. It was strange really how he didn't need words to speak. Actions speak louder than words would fit him right now.
Rei smiled as Kai began to poke through his food, and approving it as he took a bite. "The doctor said you could leave after they gave you a checkup." Kai nodded and took a sip of coffee.
Rei's smile dropped slightly, confused about what the doctor had told him. Somehow, Kai healed faster than usually and what was really strange was even when he jumped from such a height, he didn't even have any broken bones. Guess Kai is just lucky.
"Something the matter?" The phoenix said softly, not even turning to the other.
"No..." Rei shook his head to make his point. The two boys sat in silence, lost in their own thoughts. It was strange to really define their relationship, whether friends or not, the two didn't quite mind. They acknowledged one another and trust was there, but to know one another is a completely different story. Living and traveling together across the worlds for such a long time, yet... what did they really accomplish besides winning a few tournaments here and there?
Max, Tyson, Kenny and Rei became closer friends. Close enough to be family. But Kai? What did Kai gain in all this besides fame and glory? Did he want more? The tiger knew he was the closest to Kai in the team, but what does that really mean when no one is even close to the silent team captain? Closer than others isn't what he wanted.
The door open and a man clad in a long white coat came in. "Kai Hiwatari, can you come with me for a checkup?
Kai nodded and pushed away the tray. No words were passed between the two boys, as it was unnecessary. The phoenix walked out of the room, leaving Rei to his thoughts.
***
A certain red-haired boy rest in a hospital bed with the cream colored walls and that smell that made him wince in disgust. He looked around and to his bandaged leg. If only he wasn't so careless, he would be by Kai's side. A sigh escaped the wolf's lips, as he looked out the window. Looking to the remote in his hand, he pushed a red button.
A few seconds later, a nurse walked in. "Yes, Tala?"
"Can you open the window? This smell is getting to me." In understanding, the nurse nodded and walked over to the two large windows. She unlocked one side, and pushed it open to let a fresh breeze fill the room and make the hospital odor fade away.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." The nurse smiled and walked out to tend to other patients.
Tala sighed, content with the breeze that would occasionally find its way inside the room. He looked out to see a feather flow in. It was white with a few black strands here and there. Not perfect or flawless. He watched it settle on the floor by the window and looked away from it. Somehow, a feather only reminded him of his phoenix.
His phoenix... Kai was his and no one else's.
Tala nodded almost approving of it and making it a law to all others. A silent, unquestioning rule. After all, he knew Kai best...
***
Kai came back to the room he had resided in for the last few days or so, and Rei stood up from his place on the bed, looking into crimson eyes questioningly.
"Let's go, I'm sick of this place."
Rei nodded and watched as Kai pocketed his Dranzer. The two boys stood in silent for a while, wondering who would make the next step.
"Kai-"
"Sorry for worrying you." Kai blurted out and quickly walked out of the room. The tiger blinked and smiled. Maybe being closer wasn't so bad.
Kai checked out of the hospital and the two walked outside, waiting for the ones they had just called, well, the tiger had called. Not too long later, a small bus pulled up filled with the Bladebreakers and Yasashiku. The four boys stepped out and greeted the other two.
"Kai! You're okay!" Max smiled happily, hugging the team captain. Kai tensed slightly, but returned the hug slightly.
Tyson smiled and patted the phoenix on the back. "Good to have ya back, Kai."
"Thank goodness you're well." Kenny said with dizzy in his hands and Yasashiku behind him. Kai nodded and Yasashiku and Kenny headed back on the bus first, the blonde whispering something in the brunette's ear making him blush madly.
"Kai, you scared us. What happened?" The blonde asked curiously.
"Yeah, it was strange to walk in and find the window broken and then find you bloody in some alley." The dragon added, waiting for the answer as well.
No answer. Kai's eyes burned into the others taking on the icy glare they knew so well. The one before they ever became a team, the defiant, dangerous look he used only on enemies...
"Kai?" Max whispered, reaching out, but almost afraid to touch the phoenix.
"It's none of your business." He said, his eyes satisfied at making the others wince at the harshness of his voice.
Tyson couldn't take it anymore. He became frustrated with everything. After getting Kai to open up a little, which took them forever, in only mere seconds, he's returned. And before anyone realized it was coming, a punch was thrown at the other. Shock was easily defined on the others face, and on one hatred, while the other was sorrow.
Kai's eyes turned to slit, wiping away the blood from his lips. Crimson eyes burned through the dragon that dared to hit him. Rei stood angered at the sudden attack by Tyson, hitting the phoenix that had just gotten out of the hospital. And the most innocent and carefree one of the team stood silent, scared of his team breaking up.
The phoenix didn't take a hit and left the other unscathed. A quick fist was sent out in revenge, as it made contact with the World Champion's cheek. The ground beneath the dragon disappeared as the boy found himself on the floor and pain seething through his cheek.
The others stood, afraid of what was to come. Being the tempered boy he was, Tyson lunged at the phoenix, fist ready in the air. The air split against the force and anger sent to that one fist, Kai ready for such a clumsy attack. But instead of Kai merely dodging and Tyson's temper rising, the dragon stopped in mid-punch as a certain tiger stood in the way.
"Move Rei! This is between me and him!" Tyson growled out, gesturing to the phoenix.
"No! This is pointless and I won't have you hitting Kai! He just got out of the hospital and you're already starting fights with him!"
"He deserves it! No matter how much we try to get even the least bit close to him, that bastard goes and blocks us out again!"
"Why don't you look at it from his perspective for once, Tyson!?" Both the dragon and tiger had gotten into fighting stances with a small bit of self- control to stop them from attacking one another.
"Stop making excuses for him Rei! I'm sorry about his past and all, but he should get over it! It's over! He should stop cowering in fear!"
Before Rei could speak, the topic of the fight spoke. "Rei, don't bother."
"Kai...?" The neko-jin turned to his team captain. "But-"
"Let Tyson say whatever he wants."
"But he's wrong!" Rei protested, arguing once again, but Kai stared straight into the amber eyes, stopping all talk.
"I told you, let him say what he wants. It doesn't matter to me."
"Kai..."
Kai turned his back on the others, and headed back into the hospital. "Kai, where are you going?" Rei called out confused.
"Tala's still here." And Kai walked to the reception desk and got the wolf's room number. Rei felt the jealousy rise through his veins, as he quickly walked to catch up to Kai.
"Tyson?" Max said softly, reaching out to his friend. "Are you okay?"
No response. He stood in the same spot, not caring for the locks of hair blocking his views.
"Tyson?" The blonde called out again, worried for his best friend. Lying his hand on the other's shoulder, Max tried to snap him out of it.
But Tyson shrugged off the hand, moving away from Max. "Don't touch me." Came the whispered response, as Tyson walked straight past the blonde and to the bus, not seeing the pained look on Max's face or the tears building in his eyes.
A blonde stood, trembling from the tears he was keeping in. He wouldn't cry. Not here. Not because of him... not again. A vow was made in his mind, as face lost all emotion. No more...
'I won't cry anymore... not for him...' Max let his hair shadow over his eyes as he stepped up to the bus, not even looking into the others' eyes.
***
Kai continued to walk towards the room containing his childhood friend, looking past the numbers and turning to another corridor.
"Kai! Kai, wait up!" A voice called from behind. The phoenix recognized it easily, as the tone and pitch could only belong to one person.
Kai slowed his pace, until he fully stopped waiting for Rei to catch up. "Kai..." Rei stood, facing the phoenix's back.
"What is it?" He responded rather stoically.
"Why are you going?"
"I owe him."
"Don't..."
"..."
"Just this once... please..." Rei didn't know why he was doing this. He barely understood his own words, but for some reason, they made sense.
"Why?"
"I... I don't know." The two continued to stand with Rei facing Kai's back, both silent.
"Give me a reason."
'A reason? What does he mean?' And a solution struck Rei. 'Don't hate me, Kai...'
Two nervous arms wrapped slowly around the other's waist, pulling the phoenix gently backwards. He could feel Kai tense, but felt all the muscles relax slowly. Rei smiled and rested his head on Kai's shoulder.
"Don't leave... please..." Rei whispered, rubbing his cheek against Kai's. Kai looked down slightly, letting his bangs shadow his eyes to hide them from anyone's view.
Rei continued to hug the phoenix and Kai didn't even show any signs of moving. A single tear from a crimson eye fell to be forgotten.
"I won't..." Came a small whisper from the phoenix. And the tiger smiled and closed his eyes to let the world around them fade away.
Turning the corner, a pair of eyes froze staring straight at the two boys. His heart felt constricted and jealousy flowed through his veins. His fists were clenched on his sides and he felt an awakening of a battle beginning again.
The wolf walked back to his room, more determined than ever. But then he stopped, realizing something that he had questioned about the phoenix for years.
'So... that's why...' Tala walked towards an exit, heading towards the one place he could find answers. Back to where everything began.
