Hey people!

I am sooo sorry for the slow update!

I haven't really wanted to work on this story for a while now, but now I just kind of want to finish it!

This chapter just turned out crappy…I ended up combining two chapters just to make it a bit more interesting…sorry!

Oh! And thanks for all the wonderful reviews last chapter!

Enjoy if possible…and I really doubt it's possible…

Chapter 4 - Unwanted Thoughts

Hilary could hear shouting from the back of the dojo, and sighed. She knew Tyson was probably the cause of it. She stopped at the entrance to take off her shoes and set them next to Kenny's, Max's, Rei's and Tyson's and the proceeded down the hallway onto the back porch.

"Give me the dang donuts Rei!" Tyson shouted, pouncing on the raven haired teen.

"No! Tyson! You pig! Get off me!"

"What the heck is going on here!" Hilary asked herself, dropping her bag at the sight before her.

"Would you grow up already!" Kenny sighed, exasperated.

"But he won't give me the donuts!"

"You've had a dozen already! These are for Kai and Hilary!" The Chinese teen struggled, pulling the box away.

"You know Kai won't want anything! And Hilary..." Tyson replied, shouting as he tugged the box away from Rei. He was just about the open it when a voice interrupted.

"What about Hilary?" The brunette now had her hands on her hips, looking very annoyed.

"Um...uh..."

"You were going to say that I didn't need them, right!" She shouted.

"...no! Of course not!"

"Tyson, you jerk!" Hilary stormed over and grabbed the box of donuts. "You're the one that needs to lose weight here! It looks like you're carrying a kid! And look at poor Rei! He's turning blue!"

"Give those back! I need the energy!" Tyson shouted, pulling back on the box.

Soon, it was a freak tug of war for a box of donuts, and Rei was still pinned under Tyson's dead weight.

"Just wait till Kai gets here!" Hilary shouted, her foot kicking at Tyson, who refused to relinquish the box.

The door opened again, only known by Max and Kenny.

"Um guys?" Max started, trying to warn the three in the yard.

"I thought I heard frivolity..."

"Kai!"

Everyone froze as the blue hair leader walked inside the dojo, the typical serious look on his face.

"What's going on here?" Crimson eyes surveyed the situation.

Tyson was practically on top of Rei, whose foot was the only thing keeping the navy haired teen off him. Hilary was standing to the side, her and Tyson's fingers sting clinging to the donuts as if their life depended on it.

Kai raised a slate colored eyebrow and Rei and Tyson both noticed the position they were in and scrambled off each other. Hilary cheered to herself, holding the box above her head victoriously.

"Oh we were just having some fun!" Tyson chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah...if you think being crushed is fun!" Rei rubbed his stomach.

"Shouldn't you all be doing something more...practical with your time?" Kai glared.

"We were just taking a break Kai. Tyson "needed" a snack." Rei passed a sideways glare at Dragoon's master.

"And he ate EVERYTHING!" Max added, waving his arms out for effect.

"We'll have to go shopping for food again." Kenny sighed.

"What is this! Tell on Tyson to Kai day!" The navy haired teen slumped to the ground.

It appeared that Kai had lost interest long ago, and no one had noticed that he had wandered off to a further corner in the yard and began busying himself with launching Dranzer across the pond, skipping along the water's surface as it went.

---

The team continued practicing through the day, stopping only for about two hours to work on some homework. After a hearty dinner from the local take-out restaurant, they went back for another thirty minute training session, before calling it quits for the night.

Everyone was exhausted, but the workout had felt good.

Tyson, Kenny and Hilary all went inside to get ready for bed, but Kai had decided to stay outside a little longer.

The event that had happened in his apartment still weight heavily on his mind. He had defeated that memory long ago, so why was it showing up now?

The teen sighed, launching his Dranzer into the gravel in front of him as he sat down on the patio.

He knew he should go to someone about it...but his pride was too big for that. And he certainly didn't want to go to a doctor about it, and if he told Mr. Dickinson, that's exactly where he would find himself.

"Kai?" Tyson looked out into the garden, to see his stoic leader sitting on the edge of the patio, watching his beyblade spin around in front of him

Dragoon's master walked out and headed for his teammate. "Hey Kai!" He said a little louder.

The older teen remained motionless.

Tyson was getting a little annoyed now, and placed his hand on Kai's shoulder to get his attention.

He felt the teen tense, and in the blink of an eye, he slung his arm around, barely missing Tyson's face by inches.

The navy haired teen's surprised exclamation brought Kai out of his trance.

"Tyson?" He seemed surprised to see him behind him, breathing hard with wide eyes.

"Dude! What's wrong with you! You nearly knocked my head off!"

Kai blinked a few times before getting to his feet and calling Dranzer to his hand. "Sorry...leave me alone...I need to think."

With that, he walked away, leaving Tyson as confused as ever.

"What the heck is going on with him?"

---

Kai tossed and turned in his bed, trying desperately to get to sleep. Images from his past kept appearing in his mind, and he could swear that he was reliving them all over again.

He kept sensing a dark figure in the room, walking around behind him. Every time he looked though, he found nothing.

"I'm not going crazy..." He told himself, holding his head in sweaty palms.

He decided to get up and go to the bathroom to get some water.

"Kai..." A voice echoed through his mind. "Come to me Kai..."

The sudden voice startled the teen as he entered the bathroom. He clutched at the towel rack as he felt his legs give out on him.

He grabbed the bottle of pills he had left on the sink, cursing to himself.

"No...not again...this can't happen!" Kai fumbled with a bottle of pills and dumped three into his hand.

He quickly turned on the faucet and downed the pills.

Bracing himself on the sink, he stared at himself hard in the mirror.

"Why can't I shake this feeling? What the heck is wrong with me! Boris is gone...forever! But why does he still haunt my every thought now?"

He continued to draw in long breaths, trying in vain to calm himself down.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps from down the hallway.

With a short gasp, he shot up into a defensive stance, taking a step backward from the open door.

He watched a shadow appear on the floor in front of him, and grow bigger as the footsteps came closer.

Kai could feel his heart thumping against his ribs, so hard that he thought it could stop at any moment.

The footsteps stopped just short of the door.

"Kai?"

The blue haired teen nearly fainted as he heard that voice.

"Kai? You in there?"

It was Hilary.

The older teen let out a long sigh and relaxed a bit. "What is it?"

Hilary popped her head inside the bathroom and started to say something again, but was stopped as Kai suddenly paled, and his eyes dilated.

"Kai? What's wrong?"

The blue haired teen remained silent as his eyes began to glass over.

His breathing became labored and his legs weak.

Hilary rushed to his side, trying to keep him from falling over. "Kai! Answer me!"

Kai swayed dangerously as his legs began to give out on him. He fell to the side, landing with a thud against the wall and sliding down to the floor.

Hilary began to panic inside. She had no clue what was happening, or what to do!

"Tyson! Kenny! Someone help!" She yelled as loud as she could, hoping Kenny at least would wake up.

Kai moaned slightly, his head falling forward.

"No Kai, stay awake! Don't sleep!"

Her pleas were in vain, for Kai quickly fell unconscious, and succumbed to the darkness.

She looked around frantically to see what could have caused Kai to collapse, and found a single bottle of his medication, nearly empty.

"Oh no..."

The sound of rushing footsteps echoed from down the hall, and soon Tyson and Kenny's head appeared in the bathroom.

"What's wrong!" Tyson demanded, panic in his voice.

"Kai! It's Kai! I think he overdosed!"

"Quick! Call an ambulance!"

(hides face) see! It sucks!

I'm not sure what I want to do later in this story…so please have patience.

Hopefully no one has died with the horribleness of this chapter…
