RTC: Writer's block is evil! I've had the worst case for the past week! I always update at least once a week and this stupid problem prevented that! Now that I'm done ranting, on to the review responses:
BloOdY-JoKeR: Well, I'm sorry but you were out voted so there will be some romance. But don't worry; all that will happen is the occasional kiss. It won't be too much; it you don't look too closely, you'd think it was friendship.
bladebreakers: Sorry about the long waits, but I've the worst case of writer's block and I've run out of prewritten chapters! (Writer's block is just pure evil!)
Phoenix from the flames 1978: Well, you know what they say; great minds think alike! I feel guilty about you having to rewrite the chapter, though. Which ideas were you going to use? I love the brother/sister emotional thing too but I don't think I'll be doing a flashback that long again. There will be some light romance; a hug or kiss here and there etc. I also feel guilty for not giving such long reviews now!
Iluvbeyblade: I'm writing Kari out and by the next chappie, she'll be back to a minor character role (I hope!). You're not thick! I've been dropping very subtle hints (only one or two sentences per chapter); you'd have to analyze the fic to find them. (However, this is not school, so if you don't figure it out, I'll give it to you eventually.) Like I said above, I'll be putting in some light romance and it'll be some of the more common pairings. (Take a guess!)
jellybean-kitty: Yeah, cliffies are fun to write. Here's another chapter without one, though. (Two in a row; this is a miracle. Either that or the writer's block!)
Tyson: We're back! And alive!
RTC: Huh? What are you talking about?
Tyson: Grandpa's driving is the worst! I doubt he has a license!
Kai: Serves you right.
Tyson: You take that back! (They start insulting each other.)
RTC: Um, hello? I need a disclaimer!
Ray: No, Ray-Tiger-Cat does not own Beyblade. If she did, she'd be writing another 30 seasons, not a fanfic.

New York, New York
Kari woke up at seven o'clock pm and realized Kai's normally pale face looked flushed and red. She touched his forehead and realized his fever had gotten worse. Kari took his temperature.
"One hundred and five point four degrees!" Kari yelped. She runs downstairs to the living room where everyone is gathered.
"Oh, Kari, you're finally awake," Kenney said. (AN: Kai showed uo at midnight the day before and Kari was asleep by one, meaning that she slept 18 hours!)
"What's wrong?" asked Ray, noticing her alarmed look.
"Kai's fever is over one hundred and five degrees!" she said, "I'm betting he got an infection."
"That's not good. Kenny, can we fly out soon? When will the weather clear up?" asked Hilary.
"It should be safe to leave within 24 hours," he replied, "I'm going to tell Judy to send a doctor soon, though." He types a message to Judy. "Good news. She's sending a helicopter and it will be here by ten tomorrow morning."
"That's 15 hours! Kai looks really bad!" Kari said, "We'd better see what we can do." They all climb the stairs and enter Kai's room.
"We'd better check the wounds," Max mumbled.
They get the bandages off and see that Kai's stomach looks bad and blackish.
"There isn't much we can do, is there?" Kari asked sadly, "All we can do is wait."
"You'd better calm down and get some rest or at least eat something," Tyson said, using his head, for once. "We'll start packing our stuff."
That night, Ray spent the night in Kai's room to keep an eye on him and see if he got any worse. Kari had wanted to do the job herself, but the others forced her to settle down and go to sleep. Ray was awoken at one in the morning by something. (He was sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor.) Ray saw that Kai was not only awake, but out of bed.
"Kai, what are you doing? You'll hurt yourself!" Ray exclaimed.
"I've had worse, Ray," he said before rushing into the bathroom and puking. Ray came up behind him and saw that he was coughing up blood as well as vomit. Suddenly, Kai swayed and fell. Luckily, Ray caught him.
"You're getting worse, aren't you?" he asked.
"Okay, I admit that I'm not well. Happy now?" Kai responded sarcastically, freeing himself and walking back to bed, leaning on the wall the whole way.
In the morning, Kari walked into Kai's room to find her brother throwing up in the wastebasket again.
"He's been doing that half the night," Ray said, "He's even too tired to get up and puke in the bathroom." Kari sat on the bed.
"Is that blood?" Kari asked, alarmed.
"Yeah, they'd better get the helicopter here soon because I don't think Kai will last too much longer," he replied, "I didn't want to wake you because there's no point in worrying."
"I'm. Fine," Kai said sternly. Kari and Ray exchanged 'yeah, right' looks.
"Well, everything is packed. What else do we have to do?" asked Ray.
"I don't think anyone's awake yet, so you can wake them up," Kari suggested.
"Ugg, I have to get Tyson out of bed? Well, I'd better do that now, since it could take awhile," Ray mumbled. A few minutes later, they heard Tyson's scream.
"Ray, my mouth feels like it's on fire! No more hot chilli peppers!" Tyson screamed, "Why on earth are you carrying hot chilli peppers around anyway!"
"To wake you up, duh!" was the response.
A few hours later, Kai has managed to get dressed and the others are ready to go.
"Where are they? Where are they?" Hilary panicked. Just then, two cars pulled up in the driveway and the drivers came to the door and they're let in.
"Mom!" yelled Max, running to her for a hug.
"Hiya, Maxie," Judy said, returning the hug. "Are you ready to leave?"
"Yup."
"Okay, then take your things out to the cars and I'll go check on Kai. Now where's Kari? A pleasure to meet you, though I wish it weren't under these circumstances. Where's Kai?" Judy asked and Kari took her upstairs. "He looks terrible."
"Yeah, I know. Kai wake up," Kari says as she shakes him gently. Kai wakes up. "Time to go."
Kai put on his coat and managed to get down the stairs by leaning on the wall and Kari. Soon, everyone was aboard the helicopter.
On the helicopter, the medic put Kai on to a stretcher and when they landed in New York, the medic pushed the stretcher into an ambulance and drove Kai to the hospital. Judy followed it, dropped everyone off and left to put their stuff at the BBA headquarters, where they would be staying.
"I hate hospitals, especially waiting rooms," Ray mumbled.
"Yeah, we've been spending way too much time in hospitals lately," Tyson agreed.
About an hour later, a nurse came to talk to the G-Revs.
"Don't worry, he's okay," she said with a smile, seeing their worried expressions. "He has five broken ribs, a broken arm and we had to put in several stitches on the stab wound and treat the infection. He also had multiple cuts and bruises. He's been sedated and his fever is dropping. Luckily, there wasn't any internal bleeding. It'll probably take a few months for the injuries to heal completely and he shouldn't be doing anything that's too straining, as it could do a lot of damage. However he doesn't seem to want to rest."
"Guess that means no training. Who's going to be the poor person to break it to him?" Tyson asked and everyone stared at Kari.
"Fine."
They went to Kai's room and found him awake and literally tied to the bed. Kai managed to look really tired and really pissed off at the same time.
"What happened?" Max asked, looking at the restraints. He received a death glare from Kai.
"What did you do?" Kari asked exasperatedly and sending Kai a glare of her own.
"Told a nurse to take a hike."
"And?"
"Threw a clipboard at a doctor."
"Anything else?"
"Stuck a needle full of sedative into a nurse's arm."
Kari groaned. "You're hopeless! But I guess that's a sign that you're getting better," she said, softening.
"And I bet you're wondering why they did this," said Hilary, indicating the restraints. "Why did you do those things anyway?"
"I don't appreciate being treated like a child. Besides, you should see these nurses," he replied.
"Well, Kai, you're not supposed to be doing anything strenuous!" Kari said.
"Maybe he still has a fever and that's making him delirious," Hilary suggested, putting her hand on Kai's forehead, "Yup. You're still sick."
"Or maybe it's because he hasn't had any coffee in, like, four days," Tyson said.
"Will you stop talking about me as if I weren't here?" Kai interjected.
"Kai! Time to go bedy-bye!" yelled a really perky nurse, coming into the room. She was carrying a needle and promptly stuck it into Kai's right arm. (AN: The left is broken, remember?)
"I see what you mean about the nurses," Ray mumbled as Kai's eyes started to close.
"Night, Kai," they chorused as they left. The G-Revs and Kari went to BBA headquarters and settled for the night, too.
"I guess things will calm down now," said Max brightly.
"I doubt that," Kari murmured, but no one heard her.

RTC: Well, there you go. Sorry about the lack of POV switching, but I had a hard time writing this chapter. Three reviews and I'll post the next chapter, ok?
Kai: Bye. (Looks smug.)
Tyson: I hate it when he wins. (Sulks.)
