PureBlackRaven : Sigh.
The bladebreakers : What's wrong.
PureblaceRaven : Two things. One : Today's the last day of my holiday. Only a week ! They should give probably TWO weeks or more.
Max: Awww. That's too bad. What about the second one ?
PureBlackRaven : Two, the story's finishing. Just a few more chaps and sigh, it's all over.
Carol : Don't feel too bad. It's okay. You'll still write stories right ?
PureBlackRaven : OF COURSE !It's my hobby for heaven's sake.
Kai : Ignore her and enjoy the story.
Chap. 29 : The Hospital
' Where am I ?' thought kai as he opened his eyes and sat up from the hospital ward.
" Finally you're awake." Said a voice with relief that made kai jump.
" Ray. How long have I been asleep ?" asked Kai, brushing dust off his clothes.
" Half an hour since we got here." Smiled Ray sadly.
" Where's Carol ?"
Ray's smile disappeared. " She's still in the emergency room. A bullet was shot near her heart. About an inch or more, she wouldn't have made it." Said Ray sadly.
" Will she live ?" asked Kai anxiously.
" That'll be heaven's decision." Frowned Ray.
Kai was speechless. Without a moment to lose, he ran out of the room towards the emergency door. When he reached the door, he saw that everyone was sitting quietly there on the chairs. Tyson was looking down at the ground, Hilary and Mariam were praying, Kenny was repairing Blazarine, Max and Ray were comforting the teary Mariah. Kai turned his head towards the door. The emergency light was still on. He pulled up a chair and sat down, keeping his eyes locked on the door.
' You can't leave me now.' He thought sadly. ( Obviously, he now realized how much Carol meant to him now. )
-
Hours and hours passed but the door still remained closed. When it was near sunset, the door finally flung opened and out came the doctors and nurses, pushing a ward and Carol was lying in there. Everyone stood up and rushed towards Carol. The nurses gave the sign for them to keep quiet. One of the doctors was talking to Kai.
" All she needs is rest and lots of water. And no shouting. She didn't breathe for 2 whole minutes and it affected her lungs badly. It's a miracle that she lived." Said the doctor.
" Anything more ?" asked Kai.
" Yes. Her feet bones are damaged due to …"
Kai was shocked. ' Her feet bones are damaged.' This sentence repeated in Kai's mind over and over again. ' That means … she can't walk !' thought Kai. ' Boris. You'll pay. I'll beat the shit out of you and crash your bones until they're beyond repair.' He thought darkly.
" Uhh sir ? Are you listening ?" asked the doctor as he waved his hand in front of Kai.
" Sorry." apologized Kai when he snapped back into reality.
" As I was saying, we'll arrange walking lessons for her." Continued the doctor.
" Walking lessons ?" repeated Kai.
" Yes. Walking lessons." Said the doctor firmly.
" Gee, I don't know about that. But what else ?" Said Kai.
" The last and important thing, she can't beyblade." Said the doctor sternly.
" What ? Forever ?" asked Kai, horrified.
" Not forever. For a month." Said the doctor, sweatdropping.
" A month ? Anyway to get well faster ?" asked kai.
" No. It's the quickest time already." Said the doctor. " Good day sir." He said as he walked away, leaving Kai in shock.
/ Chill it master. At least it's only a month, not forever./
/ Sigh. Hate to admit it but for once, you're right./
/ Whatever./
/ Hey ! That used to be my saying /
/ Hn./
/ Hey you copy-cat /
/ Bye ! Remember to send my regards to your love / said Dranzer cheekily as her voice vanished, leaving Kai in frustration.
' Oh, I swear I'll get that chicken one day.' Thought Kai as he entered Carol's room.

( The next day … )
Kai's POV
I was sitting on a chair, looking at Carol and holding her hand. She looked troubled and was mumbling words I couldn't hear. Suddenly, I felt her fingers starting to twitch and her eyes opened.
Normal POV
Carol opened her eyes slowly and turned her head beside her, just to see Kai staring at her.
" Kai." She said softly.
" Carol." He responded.
The two teens stared at each other for five whole minutes, all was quiet.
" How long have I been asleep ?" she asked.
" One day." Said Kai, tightening his grip on Carol's hands.
" Why are you here ?" asked Carol again.
" Visiting you." Responded Kai.
Suddenly, the whole group barged in. Carol immediately let go of Kai's hand and looked away.
" Carol ! You're awake ! I heard you spoke !" said an anxious Mariah. Her eyes were blood shot since she was crying so much.
" Are you okay ?" asked Mariam.
" How are you feeling ?" asked Hilary.
" Need a glass of water ?" asked Max.
" Do you have a fever ?" asked Ray.
" Are you in pain ?" asked Tyson.
" I'm sorry but Blazarine hasn't been repaired finished yet." Apologized Kenny.
" Quiet please." Said Carol as the noise died down.
" Okay. So, tell us the whole thing." Said Mariah.
" No." said Carol flatly.
" K. So, how are you feeling ? Nauseous ?" asked Hilary.
" I'm fine. How did I get here anyway ?" asked Carol.
" By an ambulance. Come to think of it, Kai was really anxious when you were in the emergency room." Said Mariam as Carol blushed slightly.
After that, Hilary whispered something to the gang something that Kai and Carol couldn't hear.
" Right. We need to get some food since Tyson told us that he's hungry. So, see you guys later. Kai, take care of her !" said Hilary as she closed the door, leaving Kai and Carol alone.
' Great. I'm stuck with Kai. What a way to start my day.' Thought Carol sarcastically. " What are you staring at ?" asked Carol when she noticed Kai staring at her.
" You." Said Kai.
" Why ?" said Carol, turning her head to the other side. " Can I be alone ?"
" Why ?" asked Kai, raising an eyebrow.
" I want to." Replied Carol stubbornly.
" Alright. Just don't do anything stupid." Smiled Kai, standing up and closing the door.
" Am I dreaming ?" Carol asked herself softly.
-
' Sigh. I'm so tired.' Thought Kai as he leaned against the door, closing his eyes as he slid down and sat on the floor, resting his head against the door.
" If only Carol, if only."
-
Kai was sleeping peacefully until an " Ouch" sound woke him up.
' It sounded like Carol.' He thought as he opened the door, only to find Carol lying on the ground.
" Carol !" he said, shocked.
" I thought I said I want to be alone." Said Carol, trying to stand up but only to fall in Kai's arms.
" How am I supposed to leave when you can't even stand ?" said Kai, helping her into a chair.
" I'm not useless you know. And leave me alone." Said Carol firmly.
" Why ?" asked Kai.
" I need some quiet time." Lied Carol quietly.
Kai could see that Carol was but decided not to show it.
" Fine. Just rest." He said, closing the door.
The truth is, Carol didn't want to see Kai. She herself didn't know the reason either. After some thought, Carol immediately took some papers and started to draw.
In the afternoon, Tyson and the others visited Carol again.
" How're you feeling now ?" asked Max.
" Fine. Just fine." Said Carol.
" Oh yeah ! Here's Blazarine." Said Kenny as he handed the black blade to Carol.
" Blazarine ! Oh it's so good to have him back !" said Carol as she gripped the blade tightly as the blade glowed brightly.
Tyson and the others stayed until late night. Soon, the nurse in charge had to shoo them.
" Sorry kids but the visiting hours are over. Come back tomorrow." Said the nurse.
" Awww. Just a wee bit longer ?" pleaded Carol.
" I'm sorry but rules are rules." Said the nurse firmly.
" More like ' rules were made to be broken' " mumbled Carol as the nurse shooed Tyson and the others out.
" We'll visit you tomorrow after dinner." Said Hilary as the nurse closed the door.
" Finally there out." Said the nurse.
" Uhh nurse ?" asked Carol.
" Yes dear ?"
" Can you please stick this up for me at the door ?" pleaded Carol.
" Of course dear. But why ?" asked the nurse, taking the paper from Carol.
" Let's just say I have grudges again him." Concluded Carol as she laid her head on her pillow, facing the wall as the nurse closed the door softly as she drifted off to dreamland.
( Meanwhile … )
" OMG ! I can't believe it !" yelled Bryan, jumping up and down with a photo in his hand.
" Yup. Me, Kai and the others did it." Said Tala with a triumph smile on his face.
" Why not let's post this on the internet ?" asked Ian, snatching the picture away from them.
" Hey careful ! There's only one picture. It's the one and only !" said Tala.
Spencer was sulking. " Sigh. Why didn't I get to tag along too ? Didn't you take a picture of those sweet guns and missiles ?" he asked sadly.
" Oops ! Sorry ! Forgot." Smiled Tala sheepishly.
" Anyway, I'd say that we celebrate Biovolt's downfall !" cheered Ian.
" I'd say that's a good idea." Agreed Bryan.
" I'm on !" said Spencer, grinning broadly.
" Coke anyone ?" asked Tala, opening his can of coke.
" OF COURSE ! What's a party without coke ?" they yelled as they snatched a can of coke from Tala and opened it.
" A TOAST TO THE BLADEBREAKERS AND THE BLITZKRIEG BOYS !" They shouted as they held their coke high and drank to their heart's content.
Well guys, hope you enjoyed the story. Oh yeah ! And I'm planning on wrting a story again. Keep a lookout for it !
Kai : OI ! You didn't tell them what's it called !
PureBlackRaven : Oh. It's called To Be With You Forever. It's a Romance/Angst story. Planning on posting it next week or so.
