The Unpredictable Battlefield
Chapter 19 – The stranger.

High as a kite, I lay there like a lifeless limb that couldn't stop staring at the lights on the boring white ceiling. It was like I was half way up to heaven but they didn't want me up there right now and too be honest, I don't think I was ready to be reunited with my mother just yet. But with how much pain I was in I just wanted to crumble.

Tears began to crawl their way down my pale cheeks.

Am I paralysed for the rest of my life? When will this pain go away?

No matter what drug the doctor gave me to numb this pain, it just wasn't working. It's probably because it's all in my big head… damn it.

"Tyson, what are you crying for?" Kai questioned in a serious tone.

I'm not going to lie, but that guy sounded more delicate than I actually felt. The only thing I could feel right now was my heart racing and it was the only reason excuse I had to stay awake on this big world. I was addicted to this feeling that Kai Hiwatari was giving me.

What would I do without this guy? He's definitely the angel in my life~

"What did they do to me again?" I asked in weak tone.

But no matter how hard I tried to listen to Kai or Calvin, it just wouldn't sink in. I was in my own little world.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed by since the operation and I had passed out mid conversation with Calvin. Though I was in the darkness, I could still feel the reality as to what was happening around me.

[Strangers P.O.V]

"Do you want another bottle of water?" Calvin asked his companion who was sat the other side of Tyson's bed. "I don't mind fetching it if you're watching Tyson."

Kai closed his eyelids forcefully and nodded a yes. He raised his hand and rubbed it all across his forehead in a stressed gesture. "Get me two bottles of water Calvin." It was clear that Kai needed a moment alone.

So straight after Calvin left the hospital room, I stood in the doorway and observed the situation from a 3rd person's point of view. It was heart breaking to witness Kai Hiwatari being alone with the champion.

The moment the Bladebreaker captain opened his eyes, many tears of sadness began to pour down his toned cheeks. "That bullet could have killed you Tyson. And I would have ended them all for you." He sobbed and stood up from his seat to latch his shaky hands on to the bed frame.

He is heart broken~

My chest began to pack up and my eyes too began to fog. I was struggling to hold everything together myself, but there was no way I could turn away at this point, I had to stand and witness the closure.

Slowly he then reached out his hand to brush his right hand down the sleeping boy's cheek. "You're not going anywhere without me." Kai leaned across the bed and gently placed a sweet kiss onto Tyson's colourless cheeks.

Except when he shifted back into his seat, he noticed me standing in the doorway. Instantly I cleared my throat and wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry; I just came to check up on Tyson." I explained and straightened myself up.

"Go for it." The blader grumbled and refused to release his hands from the bed frame.

So protective and possessive… yet adorable.

Professionally, I walked into the room and observed the state of Tyson by checking his drip, temperature and blood pressure. He seemed to be okay, but I deliberately took my time so I could speak to the other familiar face who was on his way back – Calvin.

"Here." The light haired boy walked back into the room and handed two bottles of water to Kai.

My little stomach began to wrench in my figure as I stood before him with my little clipboard in my hands. My mouth dried up and my hands started to shake when mine and Calvin's eyes met. He recognised me instantly, I know he did.

"Long time no see." I struggled to speak with confidence. "You look so well Calvin Hiwatari."

Kai by now had spat out his mouthful of water (away from Tyson) and Calvin tilted his head aside curiously.

"I knew it was you Anastasia…" He cut himself off when his eyes locked onto the badge on my chest, "Hope?"

"I had to change my name after the abbey." I explained and chuckled lightly at Kai's reaction. "It's lovely to see that you both have finally met. But I can't be seen chatting with you for too long Calvin…"

"Why not?" Calvin protested and stepped forward to me. "We have so much to talk about…"

By now I was scared. I jumped a little and stepped away from the three boys. "Look, all I can tell you is that your mother is still alive and well in the abbey. She is very proud of you both…" By now my breathing pace was going unsteady – I was about to have a panic attack.

"Why the fuck does she know this?!" Kai rose up from the seat and released the bed frame. "Calvin who is that?!"

"An old friend from the abbey…" He responded and refused to take his eyes off me. "When did you last see our mother? And what is Boris up to?"

That name…. I nodded a no and ran out of the room like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't be seen with those boys for much longer~

[End of strangers P.O.V]

So my hip fracture was pretty nasty, after 6 weeks in hospital, I was discharged in a wheelchair. I couldn't think of anything more in which the doctor could probe my body with.

'It's all for your own good' the doctor would say whilst I am trying to squirm away.

It's sad to know that I would never get very far in terms of escaping that welting smell of death that was stained in the hospital; Kai would grab me by the back of my hospital gown and drag me straight back to the ward.

Like a puppy dog on a leash for the first time, I soon learnt I was going nowhere~

It turns out that I had to have an operation which involved removing the damaged area of my hip, so the surgeon could replace it with an artificial one. It doesn't feel any different, just sore and stiff. So for a while, I have to be kept in a wheelchair… This is going to be so much hard work but so fun!

But most importantly, I am not paralysed forever. I just have to take 2 years out my tournaments because I needed therapy on teaching myself how to walk again… fuck sake.

Enjoy the title for 2 years whilst it lasts Kai~

Calvin pushed me down the dojo path and Kai was walking in front of me. I'm not going to lie, that guy had a great backside from my view. For a whole 2 minutes, my cheeks felt sunburnt because I was blushing so harshly.

The cheeky devil even looked over his should and acknowledged my face – So he winked at me briefly before pausing at the dojo entrance.

It was so good to see that the half-brothers [Kai and Calvin] were finally getting on for ten minutes, the tension finally felt calm and complete between us all.

"There isn't a ramp here…" My captain muttered and stopped in his tracks.

Oh man… Please tell me that he didn't say what I just think I heard him say! I don't want him to take me out of this comfortable position. Calvin and Kai don't look like the gentlest guys to handle an injured man, I mean look at the size of their hands.

My blush grew even more violent as the Hiwatari as I pictured Kai's hands touching my weak body. "Oh jeez." I muttered and acknowledged Max who darted across the lawn to come and greet us.

Following was Rei and Kenny with their faces looking relieved.

"We have been trying to contact you guys." Kenny explained in a fed up tone. "Why do you guys have cell-phones if you don't answer them!?"

"Hi guys!" I raised up my arms and waved at them dramatically. "I am okay!"

Oh I had missed everyone being together~

Once they all got me into the dojo, we sat in the front room and shared our knowledge as to what happened.

A/N: I'm so sorry for the late update! *Gulps*. My excuse is the fact I am the fussiest bitch known to mankind. I have re-wrote this chapter so many times because I just can't put myself in the scenario that Tyson is facing. So let's hope this time I have done it perfect! *Sticks up thumb* let me know what you thought guys with a cheeky review and speak soon! Little A Granger
