yay! lots of reviews! so far...

Kuja's KittiKat-- thank you for reviewing ever chapter so far and don't worry 'bout kai! though i should probably think about taking some extra security measures... just in case...

and Game-Kid17, i thought someone would pick that up.. too much learning about foreshadowing in english...

one more thing, before i forget, - so far all the talking and thinking have been in russian, so since the other non-russians will be making their appearances soon, i will put everything spoken in russian "--like this--" instead of "this"

and of course kai, tala, bryan, spencer and ian will all still think in russian

thank youses so much!

chappie 4 for my worried reviewers...

Disclaimer: I own everything that is mine, nothing else.

Chapter 4

Bryan's POV

This is fucking shit.

We - Spencer, Ian, and I - got to the hospital, to find Tala pacing in the waiting room. He looks as though he's going to have a nervous breakdown.

"--Hey Tala! Stop before you end up tearing a hole through the floor. --" Tala stopped and gave me a 'You've got to be kidding me' look.

"--Hey guys.--" He sounds almost.. dead. "--The other teams said that they're gonna be here soon.--"

"--Have the doctors said anything yet?--" He shook his head sadly.

Damn, this is just tearing him up. When the two agreed to share the last apartment, nobody thought they'd actually care about each other like this. I mean, for us, we understood how Tala and Kai were incredibly close as kids but it had been so long since then, so different.

"--Just sit down until the doctor comes, alright Tal? Kai'll turn out fine.--" Not that I'm sure of this, I just want it. Maybe not as bad as he probably does, but when you say things like that I guess it's kind of reassuring in a way. Unrealistic or not.

But in real life, Kai's not doing so good. Even a complete idiot can figure that shit out. His car was seriously wrecked, he's in intense care. I wouldn't be surprised if the doctor wasn't coming out because he saw how worked up Tala is and figured he didn't want to have to deal with a complete nervous breakdown and possible heart attack right after trying to save a promising teenager from a car accident mess.

Looks like the Bladebreakers are here. So are the White Tigers, Majestics and All Stars. Took them long enough.

Tyson came up to us. "Is Kai gonna be alright?"

"We don't know, the doctor hasn't come back out yet." Thank god Spencer said this quietly, I'm sure he's thinking on the same lines as me-- Tala doesn't need to hear this any more.

They all take seats, scattering themselves around the room. For me, the looks on their faces mean a lot. This doesn't seem the right time to think about his but it's about time someone really took their time and cared about Kai. He has had a pretty shitty life as far as I know. Parents killed by his own grandfather, getting beaten and tortured by both Boris at the Abbey and Voltaire when he was in Japan with him.

I sit down next to Tala, who is, currently, completely spaced out.

5 minutes.. 10 minutes ... an hour... Tala's asleep. That's good; he seriously needs the break.

Why is it that the depressing, nerve racking shit take so long.

"--Excuse me--" Oh shit . It's a doctor. Kai's I guess. "--Are you boys waiting for Mr. Hiwatari?--" I nod my head. He nods back. Some of the others come over, seeing this. Spencer is translating I guess. Tala's awake. "--Let's start with the good news first. He is alive and in stable condition now.--" God that's good news. Tala looks as though a tsunami wave of relief washed right through him. "--I won't go into the details of the extensive injuries he has sustained.--"

I don't think I have seen Tala more relieved.

"--When can we see him?--"

He seems even ecstatic, though I can't help feeling incredibly happy and relieved either.

He sighed a sad little doctor sigh. "--Soon. Though I'm afraid I do have some bad news. Unfortunately, Mr. Hiwatari is in a coma, which isn't uncommon in bigger car accidents such as this one, since head trauma during an car accident is very common.--"

I can't believe Kai's actually in a coma.. it's surreal.. in a really, really shitty way. And everyone else looks like they can't believe this shit either. Everyone meaning just the Demolition boys, since Spencer seems frozen and didn't translate that last piece for the others.

"--Is he gonna be able to .. get out of it? Can we... can we see him?--" Tala looks like he's about to fall apart.

"--Right now he needs his friends' support. I think, with that, there is a good possibility of his recovery. He is being transferred to another ward at the moment, but I will take you over there as soon as he's in his room.--"

i'm trying to figure out how to put a kind of marker thing, to signal the end of the story, that doesn't get cut out of it when i post the chapters. it's really confusing me.. gah

anyways
