Previously...
Kai's bones were burning and seering in almost intolerable pain. The spiders venom was affexting him heavily yet he didn't let that stop him. He and Omen both breathed heavily, not too far from the edge of the cliff. In the dull lighting and the fuzziness of his eyes, Kai did not even see Omen pull out his favoured trademark knife he'd had hidden in his belt the whole time, and hide it behind his back.
--
The two motorbikes took off, shooting through the brush. Hilary directed them until they could just see the overgrown outcrop of the mine ahead.
'You guys better be alive!' Hilary thought nervously. 'Kai, please please please be alive!!'
"Miss?" Const. Malcom's voice brought her back to reality. "Do you know those people?"
Hilary looked ahead. Emerging out of the cave was Ray, Tyson and Max! Kenny's limp body was in Ray's arms. She desperately wanted the motorbike to speed up as she watched Tyson fall to the ground, taking Max down with him.
----
Normal POV...
"Tyson?" Max asked, fighting the overpowering urge to fall to sleep.
Tyson was unconscious, his arm draped over Max's shoudlers and holding him down, face first in the ground with him.
"R-Ray!" Max called, escaping from under Tyson's arm. "Help! Tyson passed out!"
Ray looked back in dismay and put Kenny's body down under the shade of a tree. He did not even notice the sound of motorbike's as he limped over to Max and Tyson and fell beside them.
"Ray! Max! Tyson!" Hilary screached, causing Constable Malcom to cringe in a vain attempt to stop his ear-drums splitting.
The two police officers stopped their bikes but Hilary was already off them before they had stopped moving. She skidded on her knee's beside Ray and Max, who looked at her in shock, just realizing she'd returned.
"Hilary?" the neko-jin asked in surprise, "What are you doing back here?!"
"I brought cops!" She said. "Oh my God Tyson! Is he?"
Constable Malcom seemed to manifest beside her. He pressed two fingers into Tyson's neck and waited a moment
"He's alive," He said. "But is in critical condition. Armstrong! Radio a rescue chopper now!"
The other police officer obeyed and pulled out a radio with an antenna around 2 metres long. Hilary looked around expecting to see her boyfriend there with the other three boys.
"Where's Kai?!"
"He' still inside." said Ray quietly.
"What?!" Hilary yelled getting to her feet, tears springing to her eyes. "No! He'll be killed! I need to save him!"
She ran towards the mine but a strong pair of teen arms grabbed her waist, holding her back.
"No Hil!" Max's voice said behind her. "You can't! It's too dangerous!"
"No!" Hilary screamed. "I have to get in there!"
Another set of hands began pulling them back. It was Constable Malcom.
"It is to dangerous for you in there!" The adult said. "Don't worry. We will save your friend."
Hilary stopped struggling. She whipped aroud and cried into Max's chest.
"He needs me!" she cried. "Kai needs me!"
"Don't worry Hil." Max said trying to soothe her. "He'll be just fine. I promise."
Ray noticed the other cop, Armstrong, putting his jacket over Kenny's body. It was too small to cover the small boy but it was all the built cop had on hand. The neko-jin watched Malcom and Armstrong talk for a few seconds then Malcom headed towards the cave.
"Sergeant Armstrong will stay here and protect you kids." He said."Stay out here! You are not to enter this cave under any circumstances! There has already been one young life lost," his voice was soft and solemn. "I don't want to see another life wasted."
With those words he ventured into the cave with his gun clasped firmly in his hands.
----
Kai found it harder to keep his vision focussed. The spider venom was affecting his train of thought, heavily. He shook his head, flashes of long lost events played in his mind. Omen smirked.
"You look a bit tired Kai. Why don't you sit down a moment? Have a rest. Just lay down and go to sleep. Though after having all that spider venom injected into your system, I doubt you'll ever wake up again."
Omen's voice was sickeningly sweet. It clung to the air and was soft. Kai was covered in a cold sweat. Omen noticed his symptoms and smirked, toying with the knife behind his back.
'No,' he thought, 'I wont let the poison kill me just yet! If I'm going to hell, I wanna take him with me!'
Kai shook his head again and suddenly all his lost memories piled back into his mind.
Flashback
Kai walked into the mess of Juvenile Hall bitterly.Of all the stupid things he'd ever done, this surely topped the list. Car jacking and being caught! He was sentenced to a month in this place. He gazed around at all the boys who filled the joint. They all looked fearsome but Kai didn't care. He knew he could take any of these guys out in a fight easily. After all, he suspected very highly that he was the only Russian there who'd lived in Balkov Abbey. He looked at the sea of people. No doubt at least one of them was a friend of Tala's. He walked through the mess hall towards an empty table. He shoved roughly pass a boy who turned and glared at him
"Watch it you fuckwit!" His voice was angry and cocky.
Kai looked the boy up and down. He was the same hieght as himself, had jet black hair and blood red eyes. He looked tough and ferocious.
"Hn."
Kai continued walking.
"I haven't seen you around here." The boy called after him. "What's your name?"
Kai looked back.
"I'm not at liberty to say."
The boy smirked coldly and walked up to Kai.
"You think your so tough? You think you're better than every one else here or something huh?"
"I don't think." Kai replied bluntly, turning his back on the boy. "I know."
He heard the boy snigger then walk away. Kai sat down at the deserted table, closing his eyes and trying to drown out and ignore the sounds of the trouble-making boys all around him. The sound of some one sitting down opposite him at the table caused his eyes to crack open. Across from him was a stringy brown-haired boy. His hazel eyes locking on his crimson orbs.
"That was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen anyone do here." He said. "You're new here and already you've become enemies with Omen. Don't you know he's the toughest out of all of us? I know he doesn't look it but, believe it!"
"Hn."
"My name's Tyrone by the way. Tyrone Yamanaka. What's yours?"
"Kai Hiwatari." Kai replied.
He knew it was only a matter of time before every one knew his name so what was the point of trying to hide his identity? Tyrone nodded and smiled.
"What are you in for?" He asked.
"Car jacking."
"I was charged for a crime I didn't commit."
Kai smirked. "Sure."
"I'm being serious." Tyrone said.
Kai gazed at him. There was something about him that made Kai believe him.
"They said that I robbed a fuel station or something. I don't know. It was like a month ago."
"When do you get out?" Kai asked.
Not that he cared but he felt it right to try and make conversation so he didn't look like a total loner.
"Couple more months." Tyrone replied.
There was a pause between the two. Kai noticed the black haired boy across the room sitting on a table looking bored. He seemed to sense Kai's gazed and stared back.
"Who is that guy?" He asked Tyrone.
"Hm? Oh, you mean Omen? He's some one you don't wanna mess with." Tyrone said. "He's a cop killer. Him and his father. But apparently his dad was killed. You don't want to get on his bad side. He bashed one guy almost to death once and made it look like it was a gang bashing."
Kai watched Omen a little while longer. Omen smirked then jumped off the table and left the mess hall.
'Omen...' Kai thought. 'Interesting...'
--
Two weeks later, Kai laid on his hard, springy bed staring at the dismal ceiling. He was bored out of his brain. He and Omen hadn't had another confrontation, though Kai was starting to wish they did just to make things more interesting. Everyday it seemed that boys were getting into fights and some were going crazy from being locked away so long. Kai had adapted to his new surroundings well, after all, this place wasn't that different from Balkov Abbey. At least here they weren't beaten every day and actually had at least two or three meals a day. Back at the abbey you'd be lucky to even get one. Compared to the abbey, Juvenile Hall was a resort! Slow footsteps caught Kai's attention and he looked to the door way of his room. Standing framed in the door way, was Tyrone. He looked terrible. Blood seeped from numerous injuries and he was hunched slightly forwards, breathing heavily. Kai got up immediately at the sight of his friend.
"K-Kai..." Tyrone muttered.
He took one step and fell forwards weakly. Kai caught him before he hit the ground.
"What happened to you?" Kai demanded.
Tyrone sat up painfully and gave a weak smile.
"I... I got into a fight, with Omen."
Kai clenched his teeth and stood up. Omen did that to him? It looked as if half the boys in the building had bashed him! Kai headed for the cell exit. He was going to teach Omen a painful lesson, but something grabbed his leg. He looked down and saw Tyrone holding his ankle firmly with his uninjured hand.
"Don't start anything." He said sternly. "He's with his mates and they'll break you Kai. Don't worry about me. Heh heh, at least he was caught this time. One of the cops walked in and broke up our fight."
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know. I hope he was locked in his cell for a week or two."
"I wasn't, but I'll have you wishing I was." said a cold voice from th door.
Kai's eyes locked upon the speaker. "Get lost Omen."
Omen smirked and leaned against the cell bars. His three friends lingered slightly down the hall. They, like more than half of the boys here, were scared of Kai.
"I didn't appreciate being caught by that stupid copper Tyrone." Omen said icily. "You will pay for that, count on it!"
Tyrone looked at Omen with fear in his eyes. Kai stood between them.
"I suggest you leave." His voice was low and dangerous.
"Or what Kai?" Omen asked, "What will you do?"
"You'd be surprised at what I can do." the Russian replied. "You learn a few things when you've been through what I have."
"Why don't you show me?" Omen challenged.
Kai took a step towards him but Tyrone stopped him.
"Don't do it Kai! You're doing exactly what he wants you to do!"
Kai realised Tyrone was right. He stopped and turned back to his friend.
"You're not even worth the effort." Kai snorted.
Omen clenched his teeth in irritation. He shot Tyrone a withering glare then walked away with his friends. Tyrone breathed a breath of relief. Kai looked back to where Omen had just been. This wasn't over. Not by a long shot.
--
A further two weeks passed and were just as uneventful as the previous two. Though Kai had noticed Omen had developed a habit of intimidating Tyrone just for fun. There was something in Omen's eyes which told Kai he had something cruel in mind for his friend. Kai wandered through the mess hall, looking for Tyrone. He hadn't seen his friend all day and wanted to say good-bye. Mr Dickenson had kindly paid bail for Kai's release. Kai looked around but couldn't find Tyrone anywhere.
"Missing your friend?"
Kai looked around and noticed Omen staring at him from a nearby table alone, with a malicious smile over his face.
"Hn."
Kai ignored the teen and continued his search, heading for Tyrone's cell. He turned a corner and noticed a mass of cops at his friends room. Kai had an awful feeling in the pit of his stomach. He ran towards the congregation. A couple of police noticed and barred his way.
"Hold it Hiwatari. You can't pass." said a tall and buffed cop.
"What's going on!" Kai demanded.
"That's classif- hey!"
Kai dodged pass the cops and stood in the doorway of Tyrone's room. What he saw made him want to throw up. Tyrone's body was slumped in the corner of the cell. His wrists were slit numerous times and blood had spilled from the wounds and pooled round him, soaking and staining his clothes. A bloody knife was held within Tyrone's limp hand. Two cops were with him and took a couple photo's before placing a white sheet over his body.
"Tyrone?!" Kai found it hard just to say his name.
The police man's hands grasped his shoulders and tried to pull him away from the scene.
"Let's go Kai. You shouldn't be in here." His gruff voice said.
"What happened to him?!" Kai ordered, though his voice carried a wave of sorrow in it.
"It appears to be a suicide." said another male police officer.
"No!" Kai yelled. "He wasn't some one who'd do that!"
The gruff cop pulled him away from the crime scene. Kai struggled and finally got free, running away from them and towards the mess hall.
'It was no suicide!' Kai thought in a raging fury. 'It was Omen! I know it! Tyrone would never have taken his life! I told him I'd bail him out when I got out of here!'
Kai burst through the mess hall doors and looked around wildly. He noticed Omen sitting on a table waiting for him with a cold and sinister smile on his face.
"Kai! You look as though you've seen a corpse." Omen commented.
Kai charged Omen in a blind fury. Omen was clearly taken aback by Kai's power and was knocked down. Both boys locked in combat and other boys crowded around, chanting and egging on their desired victor.
"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!"
"Go Kai! Kill him!"
"Take him out Omen!"
Omen kicked Kai off himself and jumped back onto his feet. Kai was thrown back over the food table and into the back kitchen area. A siren began to warble loudly. Omen leaped over to where Kai was, looking capable of murder. Kai launched himself at Omen and pinned his back to the wall. Their faces were close.
"You killed him." Kai growled into Omen's face. "You killed Tyrone didn't you?!"
"He deserved it." Omen spat. "Thanks to him, by bail was raised and I have to spend a week longer in this dump!"
"I don't care." Kai said darkly. "You'll pay for what you did!"
Kai released him and punched Omen hard in the face. Omen's face hit the tap of the nearby metal sink. He groaned in pain but stood up straight, blood seeping from a long wound down the left side of his face. He noticed the tap had broken off and smirked, grabbing it as Kai charged again. Omen neatly side-stepped and belted Kai cruelly over the back of the head, instantly knocking him out.
End Flashback
In the space of three seconds, all four weeks of Kai's lost memory came back and reminded him of his days in juvenile hall. He stared at Omen in anger.
"You killed Tyrone." He repeated from memory.
"So you finally remember?" Omen asked with ringing amusement. "Yeah, I did! You were pretty clever to figure that out so fast. Even the cops didn't realise it was a murder. They classed it as a suicide."
Kai started towards Omen, trying to keep his balance. The seering pain that shot through his body due to spider venom wasn't the only injury affecting Kai's fighting performance, it was also his bloody and torn hands that still had small slivers of glass burried within them from his escape from the pit. It was pure agony just clenching them but Kai tried hard to ignore it. Kai was forced to stop after making it only half way towards Omen. He stood weakly and breathed hard, his back slightly bent but his burning crimson eyes still locked on the blurred shape of Omen.
"You want to take a breather Kai?" Omen asked in cold kindness. "Is this fight too much for you? Do you want me to end it now?"
Kai gritted his teeth.
"Do you want me to take all your pain away Kai? I will make it all stop. Just give the word."
Omen's voice echoed around him and filled Kai's ears. It sent shivers up his spine. He watched Omen's silhouette approach him slowly.
"This will all be over soon Kai." Omen said soothingly. "All your pain and suffering will end and you will finally be at peace. You may as well accept and embrace it. It is your fate."
"No!" Kai growled raggedly.
"Yes," Omen whispered, "You are going to die, and there's nothing... you... can do... to stop it. Rest Kai... Embrace death."
"Stay away from me!" Kai said angrily.
Omen was now only a metre in front of him. Kai took a step back, trying not to fall over due to his dizziness. Both boys were treacherously close to the edge of the cliff. One false move and either one could throw the other straight over. Omen stopped. He smiled. He could see the hope leaving Kai, even if Kai didn't want to admit it.
"One more step and I'll kill you!" Kai threatened murderously.
"It's going to be pretty hard for you to kill me after you die." Omen said softly. "I really have enjoyed our little fight but I have more lives to destroy. So long Kai."
Kai didn't even have enough time to think. Omen whipped out the knife from behind him and drove it straight into Kai's stomach.
----
Hilary suddenly let go of Max and looked at the cave. Goosebumps grew all over her body and it felt as though an ice cube had slipped down her throat and into her stomach.
"Kai." she whispered fearfully.
"What's that Hilary?" Max asked.
"Kai! He's in trouble!" She cried tearing away from him.
She ran into the cave, ignoring all protests.
'Kai! He's hurt! I know he is!' Hilary thought, on the verge of panic. 'Hold on Kai! I'm coming!'
