Chapter 16: What is it about this middle name?

Everything was dark around him. He tried to move his legs, but it was like he was standing in glue. A light appeared and disappeared several times in front of him, and he knew that the only thing he had to do, was to run into it. He fought against the 'glue' that held him back, but it seemed nearly impossible. He could hear voices that whispered around him.

"Is he gonna to be okay?"

"I dont know...I've done my best. Now, it's up to him..."

Kai stood still, he had just recognized the voices. "Ray!" he shouted. "Max!"

Max and Ray looked down at their captain. He was lying in a soft bed, with bandages around his stomach and around his head. His eyes was closed, and his skin was paler than usual. Ray had done a s good as he could, but he wasn't shure if he would make it. He sighed and looked down at his shoes. Why had this happened? Why now, when they needed him most? No, it didn't make sense to him.

"Where's Tyson?" Max whispered, like he was afraid that Kai would wake up.

Ray snorted. That was his last concern right now. "No idea..."

"I think I'll go looking for him. You'll be here watching over him, right?"

"Of course..."

Max sighed, and walked out of the room.

:::Max!:::

Draciel? What's going on?

:::Tyson! He want's you to come.:::

Where is he?

:::In the library.:::

Tyson? In the library? You gotta be kidding!

:::You wish...:::

Tyson stood still, and looked up at the millions of books. The room was like a small church, and books were placed in bookshelves around the walls. Ladders were fasten to the shelves, so you could reach the books that was placed right under the cealing. Huge church-windows gave light to the room, and tons of chairs, tables and sofaes stood in front of a huge fireplace. The room was definately the most beautiful he had seen utill now. On the opposite wall, he could see a huge family tree. The door behind him opened, and Max entered the room. He was shure that his friend also felt like he was standing on holy ground. He didnt speak before he stood beside Tyson.

"Wow! This place is amazing. I'm glad Kenny didn't see this room, or he would be here all the time...Tyson? What is it?"

Tyson lifted his hand and pointed at the family tree. "I have just figured out about Kai's mystery..." Over the family tree, it was written in huge letters:

Credo ab imo pectore ad infinitum

Iquietum est cor nostrum...

The two boys walked over to the family tree, and looked down at the lower branches. It looked like the family was nearly five hundred years old! And at the brances at the top of the tree, stood the name of the remaining family-member:

Kai Armand Hiwatari

"Armand?" Tyson whispered. "I didn't know that Kai had a middle name?"

"Neither did I." Max pointed at one of the other names. "But it's after his father: Armand Hiwatari... Hm, that was weird."

"What's weird?"

"Armand, is a spanish name. Isn't it?" Tyson snorted. Like he knew things like that.

Tyson took a few steps backwards to look at the writing over the family tree, and managed to bump into a table that stood behind him. Some books fell on the floor, and Tyson hopped around on one foot, while holding the one that had hitted that stupid table. "Tyson! Are you okay?" Max held his hand, while Tyson tried to stand at his hurted foot. "Yeah...AU!...I'm fine..." Max looked down at the book that now lied on the floor. "Tyson. You are the smartest person I have ever met!"

"SORRY?! I think I heard wrong! What the heck did you say?!"

"It's not the family tree Kai wants us to see! It's the books! Just look at this!" He bent down, and picked up a dusty, brown book. On the frontpage, it stood whith gold-letters: Phoenixes and their powers. He picked up a new one: The myth about Hiwatari Castle.

"They got their own myth? Well, thats not fair!"

"Now, I know what I am going to do tonight!" He held up the book. "I'm gonna figure out about Kai's mystery. There's something weird with this family, and we have to find out what." Tyson nodded in agreement. "I think we should go back to Ray now. Maybe he know something we dont."

Max smiled. "And by the way: happy Christmas..."

"You too Maxie!"

Ray sat on a chair beside Kai's bed. He felt so small, beside his captain now. The few words he whispered before he lost his conciousness, had affected him. He didn't know what they ment, but he thought that it was incredible that Kai could speak latin! The lost language...Now, when he thought about it, he had heard him speak latin before. With Dranzer. He looked up at him, at his pale face. Ray hadn't been in the room when it happened, but he couldn't understand that someone actually could manage to hurt Kai! He had heard so many things about his family, things he hadn't told the others. He thought that it wasn't his story to tell. He sighed. This was going to be the weirdest Christmas in his life.

Then, the door swung open, and he turned around. "Oh, there you are." Tyson came in, followed by Max who carried some dusty books in his arms. "See you found something." Ray commented, and looked at the cover of the book Max gave him. "Yup! I thing we are on the right way!" And then, they told Ray about the library and the family tree. Ray's eyes widened, and he looked down at the book again. "The myth about the Hiwatari Castle? Hm...you're right! This do sounds interesting! Well done! Okay, lets see...you read that one, and I'll take this one. Okay?"

"Yes sir!" Max said.

"Max?"

Max, who was about to say 'yes?', closed his mouth slowly when he understood who had said his name. They looked at their captain...

Two crimson eyes looked up at them. "Kai!" Tyson shrieked. "How are you feeling!?" He bumped down beside his bed. Kai snorted, and threw him a glance. "Spectacular!"

"Really!?"

"Neh, not really..." He looked down at himself, and sighed. Then, his eyes grew wide, and he looked up at Ray. "What date is it?"

Ray lifted his eyebrows. That was the last question he had expected. "Its the 24th," he whispered so quietly, Kai had to read the words on his lips. He looked down at his hands, and saw that they had changed! When he looked closely, he could clearly see that they had a grey shade. Max and Tyson looked at Ray, and then Kai and back at Ray again. Max was the one that broke the tensed silence: "You guys are hiding something aren't you?"

Kai didn't answer, but threw a look at Ray, who looked at him to signalize that he was the one to decide if they should tell them or not. Kai hesitated for a secound, but then he shook his head. "Its nothing to worry about. You'll figure out soon enough..."

"Okay...Armand!"

"What!? Oh no..."

"Why didn't you tell us that you middle name's Armand! I mean, its a really cool name!"

"Yeah, right..." Tyson chuckeled.

"And what are you laughing about Tyson James Granger?!"

"What?! How did you know?!"

Kai smirked. "I've got my methodes..."
