"Talk"
´Thoughts´
On with the story!
Seth groaned in pain as he hit the ground. The punch had taken right under his eye and he was glad that his nose was okay.
Kai looked at the fallen form with no regret in his face. Typical that some rich stuck-up prick would try and take his boyfriend when he didn´t look. Like Wyatt wasn´t enough trouble.
Ray looked at the ground as his former friend tried to stand untill he caught movement and looked up to his right now pissed boyfriend, who was looking back at him.. Or glaring. He knew it looked kind of bad right know, but hopefully they could solve this without any drama...right?
Kai didn´t look like he shared those thoughts. He approached his partner in a dangerous Kai-ish way, who held up his hands for protection.
"Woah woah! I- I can explain Kai..."
"Im not going to hit you, Baka!" he growled and stopped in front of him. "But I would like an explanation right now."
"Yeah, of course you would...and I can..."
"Son of a bitch!" Both of them turned to the blonde on the ground as he glared at Kais direction. "What the fuck do you think you are doing Hiwatari!"
"Watch your language Seth, it´s not proper for your standard. You wouldn't want the teachers to hear you right?" The Russian said nonchalantly. He knew this kid from around school. Just happens to be one of the people he disliked the most. But it didn´t matter what he thought of the blonde, he had selected the wrong Chinese for his little game.
"But to use violence against another student is okay? Get down from your high horses, you are anything but an angel!" he yelled as he stumbled to his feet, the punch had made him dizzy but he tried his best to keep his dignity.
The bruise was already showing on his face. "You are nothing more than a cold hearted, controlling, self-rightous bastard!"
"Keep it going and you will hurt my feelings." The ironi was dripping like an open tap. Ray wanted to sigh.
"Right Hiwatari. If you want a fight then you will get one. C´mon!" The blonde said as he rised his fists against his rival. He wasn´t used to be fighting like this, but something about Hiwatari hade woken up the stubborn side from him.
He tried to focus on his target when the view got blocked as Ray stepped infront of his hands. "Stop this. It won´t solve anything."
"Stay out of this Ray." He growled.
Ray didn´t move. How had everyting went so wrong? It looked like he was protecting Kai, but really he was stopping Kai from join the challenge. For god´s sake, he could kill Seth. He did though, a strategic choice in not telling Seth that. "This is not right. You can´t solve it like this."
"Yes it is the right way. Im not telling you again, step aside so I can solve this."
"While you will try and land a hit on my partner? Sorry, but that won´t happen."
"Oh, but he can attack me? I thought we where friends damnit! How clueless can you be? He is using you!"
"I won´t have this talk with you anymore. I was hoping we could understand eachother Seth. Im asking you now not to make this any worse than it already is. Just walk away for now. I talk with you later."
"No, Im sorry."
"No I am. If you wan´t to get to Kai, then you have to get pass me." The tiger's voice was calm and even his eyes. He wasn´t sure if Seth was going to attack him, it would make another bad scene with his involvement. But what choice did he have?
In the middle of all that, he heard the wrong sentence from the last person he wanted to take orders from right now.
"Ray c´mon, step aside…" Kai murmured but froze as his partner turned and gave him a fierce glare. "Shut up." He hissed. "I havn´t even started with you yet."
Kai glared back at him, but not even him could match that glare right now. "What are you talking about?"
"Coming over here and fight like that? How old are you? You didn´t even know what we where talking about!" he hissed. He said as he turned his back to Seth.
"Oh, so I should just let some random guy kiss my partner, is that it?" he growled back. "Don´t forget Ray, you where the one to started a fight with Wyatt not to long ago."
"You were not as clear as I was that he didn´t have a chance. I was scared for us! It still dosn´t make it alright, I know that now.
Besides if you think what I did was wrong then you should´t have done just the same thing."
"Wyatt and I have been friend for over two years. This is a complete stranger who is trying to seduce my boyfriend! I will not let that pass by, It dosn´t matter what you say in that case."
"Will you two stop ignoring me? Kai, you and I have unfinished buisness." Seth yelled and got worked up again. Ray turned back to him. "Kai hit you because of the kiss. You are even now. Back of Seth." He tried again.
"I don´t want to hit you Ray. But I hate that bastard so much, so I really hope you will step aside!" with that he lunged. The tiger rised his hands to protect himself but a sudden shove from behind made him stumbled to the side and he growled to the source.
"Damnit Kai!" he yelled as his boyfriend met Seth in a equal fist fight. They both hit the ground, hitting and kicking eachother. Ray was yelling at them to stop as they where slowly moving towards the stone stairs that was leading towards the caféteria. Seth was under Kai and cursed as the Russian held his throat with one hand.
Kai didn´t think the blonde was this strong, he really wanted to get serious but stopped himself because he didn´t want to kill the other. He knew Ray was worried for that too as he felt his partners strong arms around him from behind.
"Stop it! You acting like kids!" he said and pulled the Russian off with quite a force.
"For the last time. This dosn´t solve anything!"
Seth quickly got to his feet and attacked.
It all happend in slow motion. Kais eyes widened as the blonde shoved him and Ray violently backwards, making them both stumble on the top step of the stone stairs. As he felt the fall was unavoidable he got hold of Rays fingers that were locked around his waist and yanked them open. With a last shove to the left he directed Ray to the left, wich caused him to go down the stairs by himself.
Ray didn´t even feel any pain as he hit the ground by the railing, all he could see was his partner who dissapeard from his sight.
Kai bit back a groan as he voulted down the steps. His shoulder took a big hit and the stairs was to steep to stop in the middle. Although the ground came much quicker then he thought, and it was the last thing he saw before the hit made his world go black.
Seth gasped as he saw his rival slammed his head into the stonefloor and remained unmoving. "I-m Im s-sorry, I didn´t mean to push so hard!"
"Kai!" Ray yelled and got to his feet. He rushed down the first three steps when a new precense came up behind him. He barley had time to turn around when Wyatt got a steady hold of his hair and yanked him backwards violently, forcing him on his back on the stairs.
"I hate you! I HATE you! You did this to Kai!" The teen screamed as he continued to drag his enemy black strands. Ray screamed in pain. His hair was his very much weakness. He couldn´t reach the hysterical boy as he moved around as much as possible to prevent him to get to his feet.
"Kai is hurt because of you! It should have been you down there!"
"Let go of me!"
As Seth saw students gathering around the unconsious teen down there he let himself be part of the argument next to him. "Hey kid, let him be!" he said as he approached them.
"Stay out of this!" Wyatt yelled back with teary eyes. His breath was uneven and his voice was hoarse from all the screaming. Seth ignored the request and got hold of the protesting teen and forced him to let go off Ray's hair.
The raven fell to the ground and held his head as the pain overcame him for a while. But he did his best to ignore it and so quickly as possible got to his feet and ran down the stairs.
Ray fell to his knees beside his partner and grabbed his shoulders. "Kai, C´mon wake up!" He studied him and lifted his head to the side to revile a nasty gash on his forehead that was bleeding heavily. His eyes widened of the sight and without thinking he ripped of the arm of his jacket and used the green fabric to press against Kais wound. "Can somebody call an ambulance!" he yelled, making the most of the students to run away to call and get a teacher.
"Kai, please wake up!" he tried to call out again; the fabric absorbed the blood quickly and became colored in seconds. He was bleeding too much.
"Kai!" Ray bit back a growl when Wyatt almost threw himself over them. "Kai! Talk to me, Im going to help you!" The teen reached for Kais face to turn him to him, but Ray shoved him away making him fall on his butt.
"Don´t touch him!"
Wyatt saw red as he looked at his rival who pulled his Kai even closer. "This is your entire fault! I should be the one who…."
"Shut up! Just SHUT UP!" the tiger yelled of the top of his lungs "You can't move his head, he is bleeding too much." He glared at the other as he heard fast foot steps approaching. "For once in you life, try to think what is best for Kai right now…" he hissed as their teacher came to a halt next to them.
"The ambulance is on the way." She said quickly and tried to get Kais attention.
"I´ve put pressure on his wound and his body has not been moved much since his fall."
"Very good work Ray. Keep the pressure on. I will need you to give me a report on what happened later."
Wyatt could just sit there to watch the teacher give Ray compliments for have acted so quickly. Like he was some kind of wonder child that was all grown up! She didn't even notice him. If she only knew that Ray was the cause of all this…
Soon the ambulance came and they carefully took Kai into the vehicle as they saw the wound would not stop bleeding. Before he had a chance to jump in as a support of the patient, Ray took that seat and the vehicle was off to the hospital.
For those who wasn't at the scene could feel the night came quickly, but for Ray who sat in the waiting room, felt like the time stood still. As he had left the ambulance, the doctors had met them by the front entrance. Even though it was hard for him he had been forced to step aside as they rolled Kai into the building on a stretcher. One nurse who had been slight left behind in the rush had told him to take a seat in the waiting room.
And so he had, and it felt like hours. The white waiting room and was so quiet and it made him feel very uncomfortable. He himself hated hospitals, and he was almost certain that Kai did too. The thought of his partner made him feel like he was going to break down any minute and as he looked at his hands he saw that he still had Kai's blood on them.
"Um…excuse me." He looked up and saw the red head girl by the reception call out to him. He rushed to his feet and almost threw himself at the disk.
"How is he? Is he alright? How bad is it?" he said all in one breath making the girl to gesture him to calm down.
"We need some information about the patient."
"Of course." He said and supported his elbows on the high desk, glad to be able to help.
"What is his name?"
"Hiwatari Kai."
"Age?"
"17."
"I need to contact his parents." As he didn't answer she looked up from her computer. "You understand that right?"
Ray bit his lip. "Kai doesn't have any parents. They passed away years ago."
"Oh, but then I need the phone number to his guardian."
"Well, the thing is…he don't have that either. Kai has authority.
He was considered to be able to take care of himself legally after his grand father went to prison."
"I see…oh Doctor?" Ray turned to the tall man who approached them. He wanted to drown the man in questions as the man looked quite serious. Not calming at all.
"Is this the young man who came with the patient?" he asked the girl rather than him.
"Yes sir, I am. Is Kai going to be okay?"
"Are you a relative?"
The tiger wanted to scream out of frustration. That son of a b….!
"….no."
"Then I can't give out any infor…"
"Um excuse me sir. The patient doesn't have any relatives. So I don't really know what to do about…" she stopped there as she looked at Ray, almost hinted him to go away so she could talk with the man. But he didn't like the sound of the subject so he stayed.
"Yes, that is a problem."
"What? Please tell me what's wrong!"
The doctor sighed as he forced himself to answer. "I need to perform a quite urgent surgery, and the hospital policy says I can't do that without financial support from the patient."
"We don't know if he has some kind of life insurance." The girl added quietly.
"I don't either, but I know Kai has the money so it's not a problem." Ray said.
"Im afraid that your word is not a reliable source. We have to know from a relative."
"What kind of surgery is it, what's wrong?" The raven blader almost screamed as he slammed his fist in the desk surface. "Do we even have time to stand here and argue about money? You have to save his life. That should be your first priority as a doctor!"
"The hospital policy says…"
"Screw the damn policy!"
"Young man, I have to tell you to calm down." The red head said.
"Then I pay the surgery!" he said and turned to her. "How much?"
She looked at him for a moment, then at the doctor before she printed out a paper from her computer and handed it to him. He received it and held his breath as he was serching for the black numbers. Then his eyes widened and his face went pale as a sheet.
"Oh my fricking god…" he whispered more to himself but the others heard him. He turned to the doctor. "What is this for surgery is his entire body messed up? Look at this numbers!" he said and held the paper infront of the man´s face who backed away.
"I think we all know that you are not an option."
"So what, you are just gonna let him…" He couldn´t even bring himself to say it.
"This discussion is over Im afraid. Now if you excuse me, I have some phonecalls to make."
"But…!" His words were faced with the doctors back who walked down the hall. He turned to the girl and pointed at the paper in disbelief. But she just offered him a sad smile and shook her head. Absolutely worthless action. He felt his legs started to shake and and quickly rushed of to nearest restroom.
His first thought was that he was going to throw up, but he managet not to. He was panting heavely and held on to the washbowl with closed eyes for a moment. When he looked up he saw that he regristred his white face. Sweat was coming down from his forehead so he turned on the tap to splash it off. During the task he just wanted to stay under the water who was gathering under the jet of water. Stay and never get up again.
But he didn´t have time for those stupid thoughts. He had to solve the money question. He had never seen that kind of numbers before and it made him more and more worried about how injured Kai was. He knew he had to make a decition; He had to get hold of Tyson, Max and the others. Even though he didn´t know what to ask of them he just felt they had to know.
Decided that this was his first move he dried his face with his arm and left the room. While he was walking back towards the desk where he could borrow a phone he started to hear voices coming closer.
"Are you a relative to the patient?" was the first whole sentence he overheard. He didn´t pay much mind to it until he rounded the corner to see the group of people. Then he froze in shock.
"No, but our son is a very close friend to the boy. Is he alright?" A tall brownharied man said. The rich man from the looks of it was well built with a straight posture. A thick mustache was covering his serious face. A golden chain was hanging from his pocket watch of gold in his brown velvet jacket.
Behind him Whyatt stod with his mothers hands on his shoulders. He didn´t even noticed Ray as he was listening to the convensation. The woman had blond shoulder-length hair. She was dressed in a light purple outfit with a blouse and skirt ending above her knees. Around her arm she was carring a white handbag with shiny stones and around her neck hangs a neckless in gold, looking so heavy that it was a wonder she could carry it. On her head she was wearing a wide sun-hat matching the rest of her clothes.
"I am sorry, but I can´t give out such information since you are not family."
"But Kai´s family is not here." Wyatt said.
"What I understand from my son is that the boy´s family situation is a little complicated. May I ask to let supervise his recovery untill some relative arrive?" The man said in a polite tone.
"I have to say that is really is a complicated situation. From my information it seems like the patient don´t have anyone else. Im not even sure how Im going to treat him without the financial support."
"Oh farther we must help him." Wyatt said quickly and the woman whispered comforting word to him.
"If there is anything we could do, name it."
The doctor looked a little incecure as he asked for the paper from the girl behind the desk. She gave the man the paper who looked it over for a moment before noding to his wife. She took out a block of papers from her handbag that looked like checks.
And before Ray even knew it, the man was filling in the number and his signature.
He had never felt so helpless in his life….
Wyatt turned to his mother and gave her a hug. "Thank you mom." He said while he caught sight of Ray for the first sight.
The tiger had expected the boy would glare at him, yell at him, and even attack him again like before. But none of it came. It got worse. Instead of that reaction, Ray received a smirk.
A self-satisfied smirk that ment all the harsh words in the world. It said,
Finally you see the diffrence between us.
I have money to save Kai, you don´t.
I win, you lose.
"So when can we start the tratment," Wyatt´s father asked as he handed over the check. The doctor got a new light in him and rushed down the hallway with the others after him.
"He is stabel for the moment, but we need to operate almost immediaetly to prevent…"
The voice dissaperad down the hall and Ray fallowed without knowing he did. He just wanted the information if Kai was okay. A violently shove woke him up from his thoughts making him stumble backwards.
"You stay away. We don´t need you here." Wyatt said before rushing down the hall after his parents and the doctor. "If I see you around, I send the security after you!" he called out as a last threat.
All he could do was to stay and a minute in silence he forced himself to smile, glad that Kai didn´t see it. Thoughts floated in his mind. Kai was going to be okay. He would get the best treatment from Wyatt´s parents so he was going to be fine. When he would wake up, he wouldn´t be alone. His best friend would sit by his side, caring for him. It was reasuring. Yeah, Kai would like that.
Slowly he turned away and walked the opposite direction until he was out of sight from everyone in the hospital. `Kai, you are going to be okay… Wyatt is there for you.´ the smile didn´t dissapeard untill he slide down on the floor, leaning on the wall. Pulling up his knees and hugged them, he let his smiling face hide in his arms, and it didn´t take longe before he cried.
End of chapter 11, It´s good to be back to finish this. See you around!
Take care!
