Chapter 17: Miraculous Recovery

'We're losing her!' It would go in my head probably for the rest of my life. But what could I do? I didn't know what to do. A volt to her heart wouldn't do anything since it was in shock from the electrocution. I only knew one thing that could ever work.

"Exzata, go in and protect Emily with all means necessary. Everyone else step back." I said to my bit beast as she appeared from out of Dranzer's blade.

"If I leave I will be gone for a very long time." I sighed, less power or Emily. It was no choice at all.

"Go, Emily was right. It's better for no one to have you than me, it's all the problems and danger. Go be free and be good with yourself." She broke free from the blade and entered Emily's body with a glow or red light Emily's vital signals sky rocketed and went very stable.

'Thanks Exzata, be free as soon as she is well.' I heard what felt as I a "Yes, sir; and good-bye." It might have been but probably not.

Two Weeks Later (Emily's Viewpoint)

I could feel as though something had opened my mouth and let me breath. In such a long time I could feel the sensation of the coldness of the room and the warmth of the blanket. The buzzing of something in my ear and I slowly opened my eyes.

"Where am I?" I screamed. A doctor rushed in the room and looked around careful not to make much sound.

"Morning Miss. Dennison; you're in the Russian National Hospital. You've been here about 3 weeks now. He rescued you and brought you here. I'm surprised your awake. Should we awake him?" I looked at Kai who was peacefully sleeping.

"No, he looks troubled enough by me. I won't want to trouble him anymore. Do me a favor and let me tell him later, okay? Say nothing to him until then, okay?" The doctor nodded picked up the papers and left the room. I looked at Kai with a peaceful smile. I don't know what happened to me 3 weeks ago but thanks for saving me from my immanent doom.

I tried my hardest to crawl to the end of the bed where Kai was leaning against it and I kissed him and returned back to my peaceful slumber without Kai's knowledge of my timely return from a seemingly long sleep.

(Kai's Viewpoint)

I'm sorry but Emily is going to be sleeping a while longer so she can't explain how Kai is feeling now.

"Huh, Emily?" I said looking at her who was still and yet again still sleeping. I don't know why but I swear she had woken up but maybe I just want it so bad for her to that I'm becoming delirious.

I walked around and sat next to the meter that showed her subconscious brain signals. It seemed very high today for some reason. Was that a sign she'd been soon waking up? I sure hope so. It's now lonely perse but depressing when your fiancée is in a coma and constantly fast asleep all the time. It gets pretty boring, and quiet, a lot.

"Lonely?" I didn't pay any attention to the voice.

"No not really, just a bit bored. It's not very exciting in a hospital. They aren't meant to be exciting or happy places and I know why." I sighed and kept staring at the meter which was still at the same level.

"Well wouldn't it be much worst if you were the one who couldn't leave the hospital and hadn't eaten food it weeks?" The voice said again to me. Why I was responding was just silly but I was a bit lonely.

"I guess, poor Emily, I'm sure she's very hungry by now." A stomach growled and I looked over at Emily's bed and a happy cheerful face jumped out of the bed which I caught and I carried her back to the bed.

"Are you sure that you can't read my mind; because I sure am hungry. Mind getting me something Kai?" I laughed as I set her back down on the bed and she threw her legs gently over the side of the bed next to me.

"I wouldn't mind it at all; after all you haven't eaten in 3 weeks. I'm sure you're famished." She nodded and leaned against me.

"Anything would be good. I just am really hungry and what ever my body was being fed was horrible and not very fattening. I probably lost 20 pounds. I'm sure they didn't cover all the proper food groups as you and I always did." Emily said trying to stand up on the bed for who knows what reason and fell back which I quickly caught her.

"Without food you're pretty weak too. You're also much lighter and easier to carry." Emily kissed me and I kissed her back. "You're very perkey and energetic for being the, how did you say it? The one who couldn't leave the hospital." She smiled again.

"I'm just happy to be able to move. It seems like so much had happened that I don't know about. I'm sure you're much stronger from carrying me around all the time. That would really help out you're beyblading for sure." I kind of looked out the window and Emily looked at me.

"Something happen to Dranzer, if it did. Kai, I'm so sorry." I turned around and looked at her and her eyes. They looked like those of a child now. As if lurking for knowledge like a child's yet her same beautiful eyes that shined with excitement.

"No Emily, nothing happened to Dranzer. See." I held out Dranzer who I really hadn't practiced with since the battle with Harry back at Emily's house. "It's Exzata, Emily." Emily snatched the blade and there was no chip for Exzata, like Dranzer's Bey-chip.

"Please don't tell me that Harry has it." I shook my head. Emily was beginning to freak out so I pulled her close to me. "Then where is she?" I pointed one hand inside her and one out the window. Emily made a weird face of confusion.

"She's inside me?" I looked confused by her statement. "You pointed at me Kai, what was it suppose to mean?"

"Remember during the first world tournament we attended; when Drigger came out to protect Ray? I told Exzata to do the same with you." Emily looked so sad and was crying.

"She didn't have to, why did she, why?" Emily leaned on me in tears and crying and crying. I couldn't stand her like this. It was so unlike her but even Emily was allowed to be different like she could be any day.

"Emily? You don't remember why you here, do you? What happened to you?" Emily was shocked, she nodded and shrinked up.

"I do but I don't want to. I don't Kai." I held her close to me and hugged her.

"You don't have to I just wanted to make sure you understood how bad you were. The doctors were losing you Emily. You were dying, I couldn't let you die. I just couldn't. She lived in you until you started getting better. Then she left into the free spirited world of bit-beasts. She's free from the curse she was made with."

"What curse Kai, I didn't put a curse on her, did you?" I shook my head.

"It wasn't a real curse Emily, it was a destiny like a curse. She saw it as a curse to be burdened with amazing strength that all people wanted and would do anything to have. She blamed herself for getting you in trouble with Tala, causing the revenge of Harry and such." Emily breathed.

"I never did ask her if she wanted to be trapped in the disk. I just did it, it is truly my fault really." I brushed a tear off of Emily's face.

"Power is a burden that you can't bear alone Emily. You were just trying to become powerful and you thought hiding it was best but it turned out it isn't. It's okay Emily." She shook her head.

"It's still my fault that she sacrificed herself for me and now you aren't as powerful as you were and now you're in trouble and it's all my fault." I covered Emily's mouth and leaned her against me. Her fit was about the kind that people take during their midlife crisis. Emily is not through the middle of her life.

"No Emily, it's not your fault. She wanted to be free and that was the only way she could be free. You were dying and I needed her to help you. Since she's up in the bit-beast world she's not tied down to a human playing field. She will cause no more trouble to us and she can be free and have the wondrous thanks from me for saving you." Emily stumbled out of the bed and fell and I helped her over to the window sill.

"Not only the thanks for you Kai, for the thanks of many generations to come. She is powerful to hold on to many people who are loved and not ready to die. That is her purpose and that is her meaning in life." I nodded as Emily sat on the window sill and stared out into the clear blue transparent skies of blue. Not a cloud in sight.

Emily quickly turned around and smiled at me. "Who else, who else Kai?" Emily took a deap sigh. "Who else helped you save me? You, Exzata, the doctors and… who else?" I smiled looked at my watch and then walked into the waiting room and brought two strange people in the room.

"Who are these people Kai? I've never met them." I nodded and they smiled.

"These people are…" Andy put his hand out in front of me.

"Let me introduce myself and her please Kai." I nodded and took a seat next to Emily on the window sill. " Miss. Dennison, I am Kai's Best Friend Andy Lorthe. This is well, Tala's step sister Miss. Anna Lisa McDaniel. She hates her step brothers very much and they are both out to kiss her and she's under Kai's protection now that you are better." Andy pushed Anna Lisa toward Kai.

"Andy, do you really expect me to take care of Anna Lisa?" Anna Lisa frowned. I sighed, 'mind games probably won't work on Emily, Anna Lisa' I though.

"Kai, if she helped you save me which she did according to the fact that her brothers are after her; it's all we can do to help her, right?" I sighed and nodded. Anna Lisa smiled and Anna Lisa jumped up on the table.

"Don't you have parents Anna?" No one has ever called Anna Lisa anything but Anna Lisa without getting smacked but Emily could just like with Samantha and Emily calling her Sam.

"My dad died in the war in Russia. My mom married Harry's dad and I got stuck with them but my mom's in a high security protection facility to keep her safe from Tala, Harry, and their father." Anna Lisa said bluntly.

"Andy, have you known Kai long? I haven't ever heard of you in any of our tournaments or anything. Kai doesn't ever talk about his friends for that matter either." Emily had to be a very deep person, didn't she?

"I wouldn't blame his with the life he's had. I had my name changed because I helped him bust out of Boris' Center. I'm pretty much all his friends and he wasn't aloud to mention me for my security so that's pretty much why?" Emily smiled and shook his hand. I disappeared to the hospital kitchen to pick Emily up a meal as well as Anna Lisa, Andy, and myself.

After everyone ate there was a knock on the door. It was a doctor so Andy went home and Anna Lisa went home with Andy for safety. "Come in." Emily said.

(Emily's Viewpoint)

" Miss. Dennison, you're awake. That's amazing and it looks like a perfect recovery in a coma. That's almost impossible. Most people come out of a coma worst than when the went it but you're much better." I smiled and Kai nodded.

"Yep, I feel 86 better. I'm still pretty weak and a bit hungrier but when am I not. So what do the tests say?" I said cheerfully.

"Emily, calm down. He's getting to that part." Kai said sounding like my peppiness what getting on his nerves but it was just his Kainess returning.

"Well according to your test when you can stand up on your own and walk around we can release you but until then you need more rest." I jumped up on the bed and jumped off onto my feet but after a second I fell back into the arms of my fiancé.

"Please don't try that again Emily. Rest, not push to see how fast you can use up your energy." I pouted and the doctor laughed.

"She's a bit impatient isn't she?" Kai nodded and then looked at me to make sure I wasn't moving. I was just sitting where he left me.

As soon as the doctor left I fell back. "How long do you think it will be until I can get out of here, Kai? It's very boring and dry here." He kissed my forehead and walked out of the room.

"Don't move Emily, rest. I'll go see how the scan on your energy levels is so I can make a guess." I sighed and nodded as Kai left me to help me.

Kai walked back into the room and once again I stood up and fell and was caught by Kai. This time I fell over his shoulder and he just walked over and set me on the bed and I pouted. "They say if you don't rest than another weak but if you rest and take it little steps that maybe tomorrow but only if you rest."

"Resting, so much fun!" I said so sarcastic I must have been the most strange 21 year old person in the building.

"Just rest and I'll be here in the morning." I looked surprised. "You expected me to stay here, didn't you?"

"Actually Yah, if it wouldn't be asking too much?" He sighed and walked over and leaned against the wall.

"Then you better hurry up and rest up your strength so we both can leave." I nodded and laid in the bed. Today was an amazing day. I got to talk out with Kai, fall a few dozen times, slept and meant Kai's dearest friend.

Next Day (Kai's Viewpoint)

"Hey Emily, I know you demanded to get a laptop but why is it so important?" Emily completely ignored me and kept reading whatever she was reading. Emily laughed and I walked over there and sat next to her and red the part she was reading.

Real article from russianwedding. Html

it seems that there are a lot of Russian ladies, of all ages, looking for Western husbands. Why? Russian comments; They (Western men) drink less, make better husbands, cheat on their wives less and so on. I don't imagine there are too many American women that would stay married to a Russian guy for more than a few months. The foreign men like them (Russian ladies) as well. They are normally much more concerned about family and want to start them at a much younger age. Where you find American women thinking about starting a family in their late 20's - mid 30's, Russian women tend to think, if by 22 you are not married with a child, they are an old maid. They also tend to prefer a man older than themselves. 10-15 years is not unusual. Pretty attractive for an American guy who will never get a date with anyone 10 years younger than himself.

"What are you reading this time Emily?" She laughed and smiled as I was freaked out by the crazy statements that were put down on the site she was reading.

"Duh, You're Russian so I think that we should have a Russian ceremony." I stepped back from Emily and put my hand on her head.

"No fever, you sure you're okay." She crossed her arms and sighed.

"Of course I am Kai; what did you think we should do? Have an American ceremony though none of have barely ever lived in our home countries for more than 18 years." I thought about it. I lived in Russia for barely what 12 years then left for 4 years for Japan and came back for 4 then left for Japan for 4 now.

"I see our predicament. What should we do?" I said. I so didn't want to go through a Russian ceremony because that being marked down Tala could easily find us as well as Harry. "We can't have a Russian ceremony because Harry could track us down through a marriage license. Plus, I may be Russian but I only lived there 16 years. You lived in America for 18 so I say we go with America or Japan." She nodded she closed the laptop.

"Plus I'd rather not be stolen at my marriage ceremony." I laughed and laid back next to her.

"Me too, plus I don't think I'm going to be able to keep my eyes off of you even if I knew you wouldn't be stolen." She playfully smacked me and tried to push me out of the bed but she didn't.

"Well I say you have it in America. American Marriage Licenses are accepted in any country no matter where you go. Japanese as well as Russian licenses aren't easily accepted in foreign countries." I nodded and easily agreed with Andy who Emily had just noticed was there.

"Kai, we kind of have a huge problem. You can't get married in America." I sighed.

"Why not Emily?" This sounds like it is something very long and very hard already.

"Well foreign people can't marry us citizens without a permit to be there. It's border land crossing; it's illegal. We need a 'K-1' fiancé visa form. You have to become a US citizen. In that you can stay in the united states for 3 months and within that time we have to get married but we have a ton of paperwork." Andy laughed and both Emily and I looked at him.

"So what do we need Emily?" She looked it up and then sighed.

"Easy, we both have passports, lived with each other for more than 2 years and both can get an attorney." Within minutes we had an appointment with the United States bureau of Immigration and within marrying Emily I become and American Citizen as well as can get a job there through Mr. Dickinson and the lawyer will do the rest.

"This isn't easy is it?" She shook her head. "I thought as much."

"Don't worry I have a clue that without the worry of citizenship, work permit, and K-1 it's going to be easier. Plus we aren't living here we're just getting married here." I nodded.
