Bffimagine: KAI! WAKE UP!
Kai: Huh? yawns
Bffimagine: This stuff must really be tiring you out.
Kai: Yeah. Thank God this is the last chapter.
The day of the tournament dawned on the Bladebreakers. And, as it just so happens, their leader was suffering from a high fever due to infection of a bite from a puff adder.
"Hang in there Kai. You'll make it." Melody stroked her little brother's cheek gently, wincing at the intense heat that was burning her skin.
Kai's head was resting on Rei's lap. Rei could feel the heat from Kai's fever seep through his clothing.
"He's burning up!" Max whimpered and he cuddled up closer to Tyson.
The head doctor walked over to Kai.
"I'm sorry but we have to medicines at the moment. We can't help you. With our sincerest apologies." The head doctor nodded and walked away briskly.
"Kai isn't going to make it," Kenny mused aloud.
"We have to get him out of here," Melody whispered.
"The tournament will start in an hour! We have to get there!" Tyson was more worried about his reputation than his leader.
"Let's get to the registration area to register. Then we can get Kai some medical help."
"TYSON! Are you kidding? Kai's more important than the tournament!" Kenny was in a hysterics fit.
"No. He's right. We can get Kai help after the registration. He's strong enough to hang in there. And if anything," Melody pulled out a black and white beyblade, "I'll be your leader for the day."
But you have no bit-beast!" Tyson was now worked up about losing.
"Oh really? I don't think Drasyner will be to happy about that." A white phoenix with black wings and eyes emerged from her bit-chip.
Melody grinned proudly.
Tyson's jaw dropped to his knees.
"You have to be kidding me!" He flung his arms up in the air.
"I don't kid people Tyson."
"LET'S JUST GO!" Rei almost yelled.
"Okay! Jeez," Max whispered back.
The Bladebreakers and Melody streamed into the truck.
"Kai…" Rei murmured in his sleep.
'Wow. Rei's completely exhausted from taking care of Kai. Kai's exhausted from being so ill, not to mention being in extreme pain. I'm exhausted from watching all the boys. This isn't good,' Melody worried in her thoughts.
"Are you okay Melody?" Kenny inquired thoughtfully.
"Yes. I'm fine."
"Hey! Kai's waking up!" Tyson shouted over the rushing winds.
"Uggh. Where are we?" Kai wondered aloud.
"We're on our way to where the beyblade tournament is being held." Melody wanted to look back but kept her eyes on the road.
"We're going to sign up and then we have about forty-five minutes to get you to the hospital," Rei explained simply.
"No. It's okay. I'll be fine."
"No you won't. Just agree with us for once?"
"No. I'm fine."
Rei sighed and leaned forward to put his hand on Kai's forehead.
"It's a miracle! No fever!" Rei exclaimed.
"But he was burning up five minutes ago!" Max muttered, trying to piece things together.
"I told you I'd survive, just as long as I had my team, you," –Kai glanced at Rei—"and my sister."
Rei jumped up and hugged Kai as tightly as possible, kissing him soundly on the lips.
"I love you," he whispered into Kai's ear.
"Love you too," Kai breathed into Rei's ear.
"The Bladebreakers take the title of best bladers in the world after winning the world tournament in Africa. When we asked them what their secret to success is they only smiled and said it was all thanks to their leader, Kai Hiwatari. Speaking of which, Kai Hiwatari displayed an outstanding performance today, winning every match that was thrown at him despite the nasty snakebite he was sporting the whole tournament. Congratulations Bladebreakers!" The newscaster's voice boomed through the radio.
"YES!" The Bladebreakers (yet again, minus Kai) hollered in unison.
Rei had a huge smile on his face when he turned to Kai.
"I told you I'm not letting go."
bffimagine: This was very different from my normal style. VERY sorry, but I wanted to try out a "happy" ending since they never happen in real life. Or, at least for me.
Kai: I didn't die? I think she's on crack or something…
