"Kai Hiwatari you said?" asked Vladimir, trying to remember something
"Yeah, what's the matter of that?" asked Ray, confused.
"Kai Hiwatari… is he the son of Rand Hiwatari?"
"I don't know… certainly none of us knows everything about Kai."
"ok. Then I'll just wait."
………
As soon as Kai woke up, the nurse told them that they could go and see him. All of them entered in the room. But Kai put his attention in one specially.
"Who are you? Where do I know you from?" Asked Kai to the old man.
"I don't know… but I think I know you from many years ago.."
"Can you leave me alone with him?" Asked Kai to his friends.
"Whatever you want, Kai." The group of teenagers left.
"Are you the on of Rand Hiwatari?"
"My parents are dead."
"I know. Is Rand your father?"
"Yeah."
"Rand was my friend. He was my best friend."
"So you know a lot about him."
"You know… I used to live in his house. I wasn't there when some men broke in and burned the house, and killed the people inside."
"You're talking about my past. As if you knew more than I."
"Rand had a son. When his son was born, he knew that his father, Voltaire Hiwatari, would do that. He knew that the only one to survive was his son, whom he named Kai."
"That's supposed to be me."
"jm… He didn't want Kai to be alone in the future, so he named me his son's Godfather."
Kai's eyes opened wide. He couldn't realize about what he was hearing.
"But when I came back to his house after a travel I had to do, the neighbors told me that everything had been burned. That my friend Rand and his wife Rhylie had been killed… and my Godson Kai… no one knew about you."
Kai's eyes started to fill with tears of happiness. He was remembering each part of his happy history now.
"Years later, a woman who was your mother's friend, told me that she had been told you were in the Balkov Abbey. So I went to look for you, and rescue you from there. But when I finally found the abbey, some kids, one of them Tala, told me you had left. I knew then that you were strong enough to manage alone, and only pleaded to see you again."
"I'm… sorry."
"You don't have to apologize for anything, son!"
"ok…"
……………
After two days, Kai returned to Japan with Ray, and promised Tala, Erika and Jade to visit them soon. About Vladimir, Kai told him that he was a very good man, and promised to visit him too. In return, Vladimir gave Kai some of his best pictures, one of them in which Kai was six years old, surrounded by his Father, his Mother, and his Godfather.
………….
About Gary… he promised Boris to go to his Abbey forever…
……………
THE END.
