Chapter 5: A feeling of weakness and Exhaustion

Ray and the others ran up to where Kai had fallen.

'Kai, are you okay?' Ray asked

'Yeah, I, um, just feel so weak, tired.' Kai faded off.

'We should get him back to the hotel.' Tyson said.

'Yeah.' Max agreed and looked back to Kai who looked like he had been awake for years without ever sleeping. 'Can you walk Kai?' Kai nodded weakly.

'Come on.' Ray said supporting Kai on his shoulders. 'You need to be resting.'

On the bus Kai was very quiet as Mr. D took his temperature.

'His fever has gone down, and he hasn't complained of an earache.'

'Cough, cough,' went Kai (A/N: okay I know that sounds like a kids book but I couldn't find any other way to put it, by the way it's a phlegm cough.)

'We'll stop at the chemist and get some cough medicine.'

'Good idea.'

After the visit to the pharmacy and back at the hotel with Kai in bed

'Do you think Kai's going to get any worse?' Kenny asked.

'Well.he has a slight build and this is a pretty bad case of the flu. We should watch him carefully to make sure it doesn't turn into any thing more.' Mr. D said rubbing his head.

'Like what?'

'Pneumonia or another case of bronchitis.'

'Another? Has he had it before?'

'Yes, on all of his medical records it shows that Kai, when he was younger, used to get bronchitis nearly every couple of months.'

'Poor him.'

'But he says he never gets sick.' Tyson said coming in with a plateful of food.

'Yes, true, he hasn't gotten sick for a couple of years now.'

'How long have you known Kai?'

'Since he was, ooh about.three. When I met his grandfather at a bey blade board meeting.'

'Wow, that's.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10...11.12 years.'

'Yes, it is. Well boys I think it's time for you to go to bed now. Early start tomorrow.'

Everyone left the room and went to their own. Ray turned and went to his bed. Mr. D was about to leave when.

'MR. DICKINSON, COME QUICK. KAI'S NOT BREATHING PROPERLY.'

'What?' Mr. D said as he ran into the room. And sure enough he found Kai laying on his back struggling for breath. Each time he took one it would be interrupted by a coughing fit, making it even harder to breath.

Mr. D crouched behind Kai on the bed and rolled him over, laying a hand on his back.

'Ray his lungs are blocked or something. Call.'

'His lips are turning blue!'

'Ray call an ambulance. I don't know what's wrong with him. Then go next door and wake the others. Get them to go down stairs and wait for the ambulance.'

'Yes sir.' Ray rushed out to do as Mr. D had asked.

Mr. D, meanwhile with Kai, was leaning him on his side rubbing his back trying to get him to breath. 'Come on Kai, breath, breath.' He looked at the clock. Who knows how long he'd been like this. I hope the ambulance gets here soon.

There you go. Next chapter is when the ambulance comes.

Peak preview: Kai has a lung disease (duh), like bronchitis or something. I can't decide. And he has to go on medication with makes him sicker, and so and so forth.
