LEGEND
"Talking..." "Thinking..."

In the Last Chapter...

"Uhh...Tyson..." Max said.
"Yea?" Tyson asked as he put down the bags on the ground with care.
"You seem to have forgot about something..." Ray said.
"ACK! I forgot to buy a present for you Max!" Tyson snapped.
"ACK! THAT IS BAD!" Max exclaimed.
"Ahem..." Kenny said as everyone stared at him.
"Oh yea...hehe...sorry...there's something else missing..."
"Hm, what?"
"Didn't you remember to bring a certain little chibi team captain?" Hilary asked.
After a pause, he snapped, "OMG! I FORGOT KAI!"

Walking in the streets while passing by many unfamiliar faces, the young chibi looked around to find his idol, Tyson.
"Kawaii Takao? Where are you?" he wondered.
With no one he knew he could turn to, the chibi wandered as the sky turned gray and snow started falling.
"Doko ni iru no?" (Means where are you in Japanese)
As the young child continued to walk through the streets, he continued to call out to him.
"Kawaii Takao! Doko ni iru no?"

Chapter 27: Just Myself

Like running for his life, the Tyson rushed all over the places where they have been, hoping to find the lost chibi as he called out his name. "Kai! Where are you?"
By the time Tyson decided to catch a breath, the others caught up to the worried teen. "Tyson..." the blondy asked. "No luck right?"
The Granger didn't move for a moment and then shook his head. "No...(pant)...I (pant)...will...(pant)...find him..."
"Don't strain yourself too long," Ray said. "We should all split up and search in different areas so that we could cover more ground."
"Ray's right you know," Mariah agreed.
"Well, we better do that quick because I have a feeling that the weather conditions is going to be much worse..." Tala replied.
Tyson nodded in agreement. "I will find you...just wait for me, Kai..."
"Alright then," Kenny said. "We'll split into four groups."

(Note: The group is composed of...Tyson, Max, Ray, Hilary, Kenny, Daichi, Rick, Mariah, Lee, Michael and Tala)

Max nodded in agreement. "Alright then, I'll go with Rick and Michael and search the east of the city."
"Fine with me," Ray said. "I'll go with Lee and Mariah and search the westside."
"I guess that means I, Daichi and Hilary will search the south end," Tala replied.
"And the rest of the group will search the north," Kenny continued.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They turned to the Granger.
"Well, Tyson?" Hilary asked.
He soon nodded in agreement.
"Yeah...let's go."

As the snow started to fall at a faster rate, the young chibi gave up searching for Tyson and hid himself under a tree in the park. Leaning against the tree trunk and curled up into a ball, he was thinking to himself. "It's snowing harda..." he thought. "Me wonder if thwey forgot about me..."
A cold dash of wind rushed past the chibi, causing him to shiver a bit.
"Me wonder if Kawaii Takao got lost again..."

Waiting for the time to pass, hoping someone will find him, the chibi stood up and started walking again. "Maybe...he wanted to abandon me...almost like last time..."

Flash Back

"Kawaii Tyson? Where are you?" he called out.
He called out his name a couple more times, but he couldn't see the teen anywhere.
"Is he gone?"
His eyes started to become watery as the chibi leaned against the solid wall next to the bathroom door. Eventually, Chibi Kai started sobbing against his night pillow.

He looked at the bathroom door and adjusted his view to the young child with white pjs and a pillow.
"Kai!"
He ran over to the chibi. Kai looked up to see his idol running after him. "Kawaii Takao!"
He too ran over to give each other a huge embrace against each other.
"I found you!" he exclaimed.
"Heh?"
"Hehe...you got lost didn't you Kawaii Takao?" he asked.
He giggled and replied to the chibi, "Yeah! How silly of me!"

End of Flash Back

"Who am I joking? Because he left me behind, he doesn't care about me anymore!"
The chibi started walking in a faster pace only to soon turn into a run as tears started running down his cheeks. "I'm lonely...maybe my destiny is to be alone...just like all the other years..." (Since Chibi Kai only has a memory of a 5-7 year old, he only remembershis pastuntil his current chibi age.)

Flash Back (To the time when Kai having his first Christmas in the Abbey which is about the age of 5)

"Mewwy Christmas, Yuri!" the chibi called out to the young red head.
"It's Tala...I told you to not call me by that name!" he snapped back. "Plus, why are you so happy?"
"Don't tell meh you don't know Christmas!"
"I...don't...so what?"
"Come on silly! You must know at least Santy Claws!"
The red head shook his head.
"Nope...never heard of him..."
"So ka?" (Means is that so? in Japanese)
"Okay then...nevermind..."
The chibi went to his room, sat on the bed and thought to himself. "No one does not know about Christmas! But then again...I am in the abbey..."
Looking through the window, he saw that tonight was a full moon. "Pwetty...but..."
The chibi started sobbing.
"Why should I be cursed with this faith? Daddy left meh...mommy died...gwandpa sending me here...Bowis being evil...all the other childwen acting mean to me..."
Tears started falling through his cheeks and landing on his folded hands on his lap.
"I get the feeling...I am going to be alone for a long while..."

End of Flash Back

After searching for the chibi for at least two hours, the group met together once again to fill each other in. "No luck..." Max said.
"Me neither..." Hilary said.
"Yeah...we're all pooped..." Ray agreed.
"However," Kenny stated, "Tyson nor Tala hasn't come back yet..."
"Tala told me that he's going to look for Tyson since he knows how reckless he can be..." Hilary replied.
"That's true...let's just hope Kai's whereabouts doesn't come to the worst..." Kenny said.

"There you are," Tala said as he found the navy haired teen sitting on the fountain with his hands folded to himself. "You know Kai's not going to find his way back to you..."
"I know," Tyson replied back. "But...I feel guilty...for losing Kai..."
"Come on...I thought you should be the one that acts optimistic...have faith...since I know Kai the most during his childhood, I'm very sure Kai will somehow find his way back...I think..."
"But still..." Tyson interupted. "I almost lost Kai this morning! Because I keep forgetting the fact that Kai has turned into a chibi, I keep thinking that Kai will always tail me!"
"I know...but as a chibi...Kai's very curious...remember...we were at the Abbey back then...so you can't blame him..."
"Yeah..."
"Let's go find him..."
Tyson nodded in agreement.
"Yeah..."

All of a sudden, the winds have gotten stronger as the light snow turned into a coming blizzard. "Oh great..." Tala said. "Let's find some cover and search again later..."
"No way..."
"Huh?"
"No way am I going to stop! I will find him! Even if I have to freeze in the blizzard! I HAVE to find Kai!"

The teen started running against the direction of the north winds.
"OI! Granger! No WAY am I going to let you be in this storm!" Tala exclaimed. "Do you hear me!"
Before he knew it, Tyson disappeared through the blizzard before the storm got even more stronger.
"Argh!"Tala grunted as he used his arms to shield his face. "Oh great...I'm in BIG trouble now..."
