Well, here it is. A good chapter I think, with some violence and a bit of Kai's past. Please, forgive me is it isn't as you expected, but this kind of violence will give me something to go on in the story.

Enjoy!

......................................................................................................

days passed, Kai forcing the team to get up early to train, and preying, because he really didn't want to go with Him again.

November 19th

Kai woke up with a jump. He had just had an awful nightmare. He was been absorbed by a tunnel, a black tunnel. But Hilary was holding his hand, not letting him go. Kai sat on the bed, and looked at Hilary beside him. Her hands were around his waist, wrapping him tightly. Kai rested his head in the pillow again, and placed a hand in Hilary's neck.. he looked to the clock: 6:15 am. He kissed Hilary's hand and then got up, in order to put on clothes and have breakfast.

When the walked inside the kitchen, he found a black envelope on the floor. He grabbed it, and once opened, he knew where it came from, cause it was written in Russian. "we want you Kai. Return or we'll look for you. Remember your lessons Kai, everyone near you that shows you love will be killed. Don't hide yourself from your destiny. Don't fail us..."

"no. this can't be truth. Why this happens in every tournament? They'll come from me... Hilary... they'll hurt her... no I can't let it pass, I must return." Tears started forming on his crimson eyes. He closed his eyes, bad images coming to obstruct his path. "no... I don't want to..." cried Kai, just as a seven years old. Kai felt as someone entered to the room. He hoped it was not Hilary.

"Kai! What is?!" asked a voice. Kai was standing, looking at the note, crying without sound. The owner of the voice walked closer to him.

"they ask me to return." Kai couldn't stop the tears this time. He felt a pair of hands hold his shoulders, in order to protect him, but... "don't touch me!"

"come on... I won't hurt you, you know that" said Ray.

"it isn't that..." Kai suddenly retracted what he had said.

"let me see the note." Said the raven-haired boy.

"it's... it's ok, I can handle it." Answered Kai, confused."

"Kai..." Kai gave him the note. "shit, Biovolt."

"yes, Biovolt, Him, and my past together." Kai's back was against Ray's body, who was looking by over Kai's shoulder, hugging him. Kai slowly turned round, and wrapped him too. 'this Kai isn't the normal one. Something must be happening'

"I'm sorry..." said Kai, shyly.

"you don't need to. Please, tell me what's happening... one moment you don't want to be touched, next moment you're wrapping me too... you talk of someone you call 'Him' and some others, 'them' ... who is Him?"

"it's a long story... but, Ray, if I tell you... I'm afraid of what you can think of me then..."

"don't be. You prefer going outside?"

"hai..." both walked outside, and Kai got ready to the sacrifice telling the truth.

"Ray... what I'm going to tell you, only those who were in the abbey know. Ray, you've become my best friend apart from Tala... you've the right to know... but not even Hilary knows it.

When I was seven was the first time it happened. No one was able to tell what happened when you disobeyed, because as the Teachers told, it wasn't good to do that, they said we would regret it till we were dead... and I regret it. I hadn't followed the Rules as it was expected for me to do.

And that night He took me out of the room. He told me He needed to teach me something, that as I was superior it could only be taught to me. That made me feel special, so I followed my trainer. He took me to his room, at the top floor of the abbey, in one of the cupules, near my grandfather's. as it was midnight, He told me to be silent not to wake up him or the Guards. It started when he made me take of my shirt. I followed, because I didn't knew, no one had talked me about those things. It went on and finished with His hands all over my body."

Kai, still crying, was ashamed of his past. "I don't want to return... cause it seems that all my memories will return real again... I don't want... you know."

"oh Kai...- Ray slowly wrapped him, even though Kai tried to refuse the huge.- it's me, don't care"

"hai, wakarimasu" I understand...

14 pm - after lunch

"the bus will arrive soon" said Tyson, happy as always.

"yes, ty, I'm goin'"

"do ya bring food for the travel, Hil?"

"can't you think of something that isn't food, Tyson?"

"sleep?"

...while...

"Kai! Calm down!" Kai's breath was short and scared.

"Ray, I can't! I'm fine."

"oh, yes, I've noticed you're as calm as usual."

"Shut up!"

"Kai, you know that's not good"

"I can't keep thinking in it!"

"you said it..."

"let's go then!"

the trip was one hour long till they reached the airport. After half an hour they got into the plane. Kai sat between Hilary and Ray, and Kenny, Max and Tyson sat behind. Far behind, Mr Dickenson was sitting with Tyson's Grandpa.

Kai softly ran his hand by Hilary's hair. She was resting her head in his shoulder, not sleeping, thinking in her boyfriend. It was the first time she traveled by plane. She was a bit scared, but not at all. She took Kai's free hand on her own, and pressed it against her lap. "are you scared?" asked Kai.

"eh...no, don't worry."

"Hil, don't be afraid, it's nothing, soon we'll be flying."

"what if the plane brakes down in the middle of the air?"

"it won't"

"but if it d--"

"it won't." Kai got closer to her and pressed their lips together. He ran his tongue by her lips, shyly, and Hilary opened her mouth.

Ray smiled as he saw Kai relaxing at last. He still couldn't believe that Kai had being through that, it was odd. But it made sense if you thought on the way Kai acted when he was touched. He refused it."
