Shapeshifter: Yo people! This is a new story about Kai! Yes Kai torture!
Well my friend and co-author 'Storm Watcher' gave me this idea when she was
over my house. We were playing with Kai torture ideas when she came up with
this, and because I don't have school today I get to work on it! So here
you go! N~JOY!
If I Die Before I Wake
Chapter 1: Rei's Concern
(Kai dream)
A casket sits before me, the lid partially open. I walk stiffly and hesitantly to the box, and peer inside at the woman that was once my mother. Her black hair lays evenly around her head and she looks asleep. Reaching inside I place the midnight black rose on her hand and lightly caress the smooth skin. My mother, gone forever. I take my hand from her cold skin and pull it out, moving away from the casket.
Suddenly long black hair grips my hands, pulling me closer. I cry out but no one comes to my aid. I pull, bite and scream, but nothing and no one helps. The hair pulls me closer until I can feel my own breath on the casket. The hair still pulls but I resist, pulling the other way. Too strong in pulls me over the casket side, and I lay on the body, staring right into the face of my mother.
Amber eyes open, glowing red and I scream in horror, struggling against the bonds that hold me there. The glowing eyes become wider and a rasping voice says
" My boy shall be joining me. Come with me my child." The arm clasps my chest and the other pulls the casket lid closed, with my screams echoing in the icy tomb.
(Kai Normal)
I bolt up out of bed, cold sweat rolling down my back and arms. Icy air makes me shiver and I blink away the nightmare. Nightmare, that's all it was. I have been telling myself this for the past two weeks, every night. Every time I close my eyes I see the same casket, same binding hair, same everything. Another shiver runs the length of my spine and I swing my legs over the side of the bed. I put my head in my hands and let out a sigh of frustration. The squeak of the bed frame brings me back to my senses. I turn around to see two-concerned feline like amber eyes looking at me.
"What the hell Rei!" I said realizing whom the eyes belonged to. The two amber eyes blinked once or twice then he flashed his cat like fangs at me which only makes me madder.
"What's up with you?" Rei asked.
"Nothing." I replied which got Rei sort of ticked off.
"Sure." he replied rolling his eyes and folding bandaged arms across his chest.
"Now Kai what is really wrong with you?" Rei asked again and I shook my head, getting a bit unsteadily to my feet. Leaving the feline like boy behind me and move to the chair on the other side of the room, and look out the window. It's raining.
" Kai, you woke me up with your yelling. What is going on?" Rei asks firmly, and I really want to tell him, but I can't bring myself to show that weakness. So instead I grunt in reply
" Bad food." And keep looking out the window not wanting to look at the concerned teammate.
" Oh come on! I was born at night Kai, but not last night. You have been like this for almost two weeks now! What gives?" The other blader tells me padding over to the chair, where I sit trying my hardest not to run. If I run from him than he will know something is severely wrong, that's one good thing about Rei, he always notices the smallest thing. Even if it's something he shouldn't be concerned with.
" Keep your nose out of this Rei. It concerns you not!" I snarl and look at the kneeling Chinese boy. He is so concerned, about what? Me, hell no. Why would anyone be concerned with what was going on with me? He only stares at me with his glowing eyes and I see some form of friendship in them, but can't return the kindness.
" Wrong. If you wake me up Kai, than it does concern me." He states flatly and sits on the floor, looking up at me. I sigh and move my eyes elsewhere. I can't involve the Chinese blader in this, these are my nightmares and mine alone.
" This is not a concern of yours Rei, stay out of it." I snap and get up from the chair, and instantly curse at the head spin I receive. Rei is right beside me, grabbing my shoulder, but I cry out as brutal pain laces through that shoulder and an image flashes through my mind.
Hands grab a shaking shoulder, slamming it into the concrete surface. An odd snapping sound echoes in the air and the owner of the abused limb cries out, as the shoulder is dislocated from his body.
I fall to my knees grasping my dislocated shoulder.
" Kai!" Rei yells but I don't care, my hand is numb and I can only focus on trying to pop the limb back into its slot. I gasp as I rotate the limb and fall purposely on that side, popping the bone back into the joint. My eyes squeeze shut as waves of pain announce themselves and I hold back tears.
" What's with the yelling guys?" A tired voice asks from the adjoining room, and I don't have to open my eyes to know its Tyson, Max and Kenny. I also hear Kenny's gasp of shock and feel small hands on my body rolling me over.
" Is he dead?" Tyson. That freaking moron! I hate him so much. As the weight is placed on my bad shoulder for a second I involuntarily whimper in pain.
" Guys, he's hurt bad." Max says and I feel probing on my shoulder. Okay I don't like this. I snap my eyes open and glare at the blonde boy, making him jump away.
" Welcome back Kai." Kenny smirks and I grunt in reply, struggling to move into a seated position. Rei and Tyson are at my side instantly, trying to help while Max and Kenny get ice or something. Why are they so concerned! There is no reason for them to be like this, I don't need their concern. Right? I don't know! My mind is running in freaking circles.
" Leave me alone." I whisper while Max puts an ice pack on my rapidly swelling and bruising shoulder.
"Like hell we will!" Kenny says from the other side of the room, sitting on Rei's bed. I shoot a menacing look his way, but am blocked by another blader. Tyson, as if my day couldn't get worse!
" Hay just because you fell out of bed and dislocated your shoulder Mr. Ice King you don't have to take it out on us!" he says and I growl, swiping my arms in a way that would have taken the baka down if Rei hadn't caught my arms. I snarl and bring my eyes to look at him.
" Guys, go back to bed. I will take care of Kai." He says and the others shuffle out of the room, casting looks at Rei, who waves them on. Once they are gone Rei helps me to my feet, which I don't like, but need to get to them. I was content with lying on the floor for the rest of the night.
" No more pretending Kai. What the hell is up with you?" Rei asks as he maneuvers me to my bed, and I pull from his grasp, going the rest of the way myself, saving me that much dignity. I sit down, holding the pack tot he abused shoulder and remove it for a few seconds, probing it myself. The bone is back in place, but the swelling and inflammation is making it painful, I hiss through clenched teeth as I place the pack on it with renewed force. Rei sits beside me, watching with curious and concerned eyes.
" How did you know how to get it back in?" He asks in a whisper. I look back out the window and sigh.
" Had it done before." I lean back on the bed and close my eyes, thinking about the last time that I dislocated any limb.
(Flashback)
A woman with long black hair and amber eyes kicks me to the wall, making me cry out. She moves closer and pulls my hair so I am looking her right in the face. She hisses in my ear and her hands grab my shaking shoulder, slamming it into the concrete surface. An odd snapping sound echoes in the air and I let out a cry like a wounded animal as the shoulder is dislocated from my body.
(End Flashback)
I shudder at the memory and sigh. Rei is still beside me, and I know he is watching me carefully, I don't give a damn. I feel myself relax and drift off into a nightmare filled sleep, but at least I don't have to look at Rei and see the concern. Stupid baka, he should just forget about me anyway. I'm not worth the energy spent in his worries.
