"Talking in Russian"

"Talking normal"

Chapter Seven

Five worried teens placed their ears to the door of Kai's apartment, there was no sound from inside and so it appeared he was not even here.

Tyson lifted his head and gave his ear a rub as it seemed to have gone numb.

"Maybe he's already at the banquet?" he suggested

Rei shook his head saying, "Lee said he'd call if he spotted him".

The group had come to Kai's apartment to fetch him for the banquet which had started an hour ago.

"What if he's past out drunk on the floor or he's just minutes away from taking that deadly sleeping pill or…or what if he's seconds away from walking off a bridge or-"

"Paranoid aren't you Chief?"

Kenny nodded and sulked, the worst case scenarios still running through his head.

"Do you think he's gone to see Kaiya?" asked Hilary

"I doubt it" mumbled Rei

"Rei, I've been thinking, why did Kaiya come here suddenly, what was her purpose?" asked Hilary thoughtfully

"Kai's mother is dieing from cancer and they think he's closest match for a bone marrow transplant"

"What about Kaiya?"

"I think she's not close enough"

"So that's why she came, to ask Kai for his help?"

Rei nodded.

The group stared at the door worried for their captain and friend.

"Should we break in?" asked Tyson

"We don't know how, we're the good guys remember" pointed out Hilary.

"I know how to pick a lock" said Max

The group stared amazed at their blond American friend who merely shrugged and knelt down, working some sort of magic with Hilary hair pin and on the lock, he stepped back and the door opened, just like magic.

They entered the apartment, Rei scrunched up his nose as the smell of alcohol swept past him.

Rei entered the living area, his foot hitting against a bottle, looking around he saw he was alone; picking the empty bottle up Rei placed it on the coffee table, noticing a book on top of folded brown paper.

It had Russian written on it and appeared to be quiet old, a letter was on top of the book and handwritten in sprawled Russian, picking it up Rei stared.

"Hey Rei what's that?"

"I think it's a letter"

Handing the piece of paper to Kenny who opened his laptop only to wake up Dizzi who kindly took a picture of it and translated it for them.

"Guys I doubt you'll want to read this"

"Why's that?"

"Well, it's like really personal"

"Can you dictate it to us?"

"If that's what you want"

Dizzi was silent for a moment and suddenly began dictating the latter.

"Kai, I'm sorry what mom and dad did, and I know forgiving them is something you wont do just because I ask you to, but I think there are something's you should know.

When we were small before you left, you told me that one day you were going to be famous, and you are, and I'm proud of you for aiming at your goal like that, we all meaning mom and dad, they were so scared when you were in the tournaments and so excited for you when you won.

Kai, mom, dad and I are proud of how you turned out.

There's also this, the baby Kai was going to do anyway, the baby had a tear in its lung and would have died anyway, and you saved the child a lot of grief and suffering.

And now for the last, I ask you Kai, will you come and help your mother and try and except that what she did was wrong, please Kai, try and save her and release me of seeing her in pain everyday till she gives in.

I'll understand if you don't want to Kai, I just hope that I'll get the chance to see and get to know you a lot better big brother.

Kaiya Hiwatari"

The group was silent, Dizzi sniffed and said, "If I could cry I'd be crying buckets"

Max nodded in agreement.

Rei looked at the hard copy and smiled, "I think I know where he is".

--------------------------

He was cold, not from the weather but from the feeling of something was terribly wrong.

Kai blinked and saw the very same man walking away from him and disappearing into the streets.

Kai trudged after him, and towards the hospital, Kai saw the same man sitting on the steps and then vanishing, as he was being lead somewhere.

Kai frowned, was this man the grim reaper in disguise?

The doors opened and Kai heading to find what room she was in.

Finding the room he stared at the door, his hand sweaty on the door knob, taking in a deep breath Kai turned it and the door opened.

He saw six people in total, three beds in a row on each side, hers was last, and Kai saw her, her hair was a lighter blue with a white streak, her eyes closed as she lay on her back.

The other patients watched as he walked towards her, he stood next to the bed, knelt down and held her hand in his, she stirred feeling his touch.

She turned her head and frowned opening her eyes, she stared at him in confusion.

"K-Kai?"

He nodded and squeezed her hand, she smiled, her other hand reached up and touched the blue triangles; Kai used his other hand and pressed her hand against his face.

A mother's touch.

"I'm so sorry Kai" she whispered,

Kai shook his head and pressed her hand against his face harder.

How he's dreamed of feeling her touch again.

"There's nothing you could have done to prevent it, it was something that just had to happen"

His mother smiled and closed her eyes, freeing her tears.

"Kai…I love you, I always have"

Kai looked up and saw the same man standing over them, looming, waiting.

"Mom, I'm sorry I didn't come sooner:

But his mom just nodded smiling, her eyes closed.

Her hand became limp and her breathing stopped, the one hand that had been touching his face fell to the bed and the machines went haywire.

Yet he still held her hand as doctors swept past trying to revive her, but Kai knew there was no point, he'd come to late.

"Kai?"

Turning Kai saw his father and Kaiya standing, watching.

"What are you doing here?" asked Kaiya.

Kai turned back and smiled at her calm face and still body that was his mothers.

"Saying goodbye".
