All you were doing was protecting me.
All you did was care.
And now look what's happened.
It all happened three days ago….
Three Days Ago…
Max, Rei, Kenny, Hilary, Kai and I are walking down the street towards Grandpa's Dojo, after doing some shopping for dinner tonight, which consisted on stuff that Hilary thought were 'edible.' Personally, I think she was trying to poison us, so that she could control us from now on, like that would ever happen……
Anyway, we were walking down a street, and, all of a sudden, Max ran towards a shop window, and saw a puppy, which looked uncannily like Max and he asked if he could go in and look at the puppy and the other animals.
"O.K. Max. But, remember, dinner is in one hour, and we don't want to end up having to wait hours for you to say goodbye to your friend," replied Hilary, who seemed to be reluctant to letting Max go in by himself. "Rei, can you go in with him to make sure that we don't have any guests for dinner, please."
"Sure. But I don't think Max HAS any money," answered Rei. And with that, they walked into the shop, Max dragging Rei in, who really didn't want to be near any dogs, seeing that he was more of a feline kinda person.
1 Hour Later…
"Where are they? I asked them to be here when dinner is on the table..." complained Hilary, who was now getting really angry at Max and Rei, seeing that they were late. But, then, the front door opened, and in stepped Rei, who had a nervous look on his face.
"THERE you are! Where WERE you! I asked you pacifically to be on time! Well, what's your excuse!" howled Hilary.
Without a word, Rei moved to the side, and in bounded Max, with a silly grin on his face, and a big, white, square box, with air holes in.
"Max, you didn't." I said.
1 And Half Hours Later….
After dinner, Max, Kenny and Hilary played with the new puppy, that earlier on Max called Hunter, whilst a nervous Rei sat on the sofa, with the puppy on him, licking his face, and trying to cheer up Rei, who became more and more anxious around the dog the longer it stayed.
Kai and I were outside, enjoying the silence of the night, which was rare, seeing that, nowadays, Max was becoming more and more hyper everyday. We were just lying on our backs on the Dojo, looking at the clear night sky, painted a midnight blue color, slowly letting its wonder take us each away in awe of its beauty.
"Tyson?"
At my name being called, I was brought back from my dream world, and looked up to see that Kai was looking up at the sky still. And, when I was just about to begin my star gazing again, Kai brought his own gaze down, to look at me. But, instead of him lecturing me about not staring, he stared right back, and looked me straight in the eyes. When our eyes met, I was lost in his wine red eyes. We stayed this way for some time, before Kai finally wrenched his gaze away from mine and got up. I got up shortly after, and started my way towards the inside of the Dojo, where the laughter of the rest of the friends was coming from. But, before I got inside, a hand rapt itself around my arm, and stopped me in my tracts. And, when I turned around, I saw it was Kai holding onto me, holding me back.
"Kai?"
Before I could say anything else, or react in any other way, he pulled me towards him, and pulled me into a soft, but passionate kiss, which he broke, shortly after our lips made contact. When I got over the shock, I noticed that Kai had sadness in his eyes, and I had no clue why. And, then, it hit me. I hadn't reacted to what just happened. And, before I could, Kai walked into the Dojo, grabbed his coat, and dodged out the house.
When I heard the front door close, Max came out and stood there for a few moments.
"So, I guess you didn't react, didn't you."
"How'd you…?"
"Kai told us he was gonna tell you how he felt, and he said that you not reacting would be worse then you saying that you didn't feel the same way."
At this, I ran towards the front door, grabbed my coat, opened the door, and ran after Kai.
½ An Hour Later….
I found him in the park, near the beydishes, practising.
"Kai?"
Then, he lifted his head, and the worst sight was in front of me. He had been crying, but, now, he had absolutely no emotions in his eyes like he did earlier on, when we were staring up into the endless night sky. He called back Dranzer, and started to walk away. But, before he could get anywhere, I grabbed his arm, like he did, but mine was in urgency, his was when he wanted to show me he loved me, and, because of that, I knew how much I loved him.
"Let go of my arm."
But I just stood there, looking at Kai, with hopeful eyes, trying to find some sort of emotion what so ever in those beautiful eyes of his.
"Let go of me, Tyson."
But, still, I held onto his arm, like a disobedient puppy.
"Tyson, let go of me!"
Kai then wrenched his arm out of my grip, and I stood there, in utter disbelief. I thought what had happened was some kind of way to make me look like some fool.
"So, what happened earlier on didn't mean anything? It was some kind of sick joke?"
By the time I finished my sentence, I was in tears. Kai turned around, and when he saw that I was crying, his eyes softened.
"No, Tyson..."
Kai took a step towards me, but, before he could do anything else, I had turned around, towards the path that lead to the centre of the park, and started to run. I ran the fastest I have ever run in my life. You tried to keep up with me, but you weren't as fast I was, not at the time.
But, before my senses came back to me properly, and before I knew where I was, someone jumped in front of me, and he wore dark clothes, which you couldn't actually see, cause of the black cloak he was wearing.
"Well, well, well. What have we got here?"
I tried to run away, but was much faster than me.
"Where are we going? The party is just beginning."
I was praying for a miracle, but, then, the guy pulled out a knife, and raised it.
"Well, it's the end of you tonight, my dear lad. Nighty-night."
The cloaked figure raised it, and then, with all his might, lunged it down, towards my throat. But, the blow never came. When I opened my eyes, I saw Kai standing in front of me, and the guy was on his back, with blood coming out a gash in his arm, and the knife in Kai's hand.
"Kai?"
"Leave. Tyson. Alone."
Kai's voice sounded so angry, and was dripping with so much venom, that the cloaked man flinched. Many minutes later, Kai and the other man fought, but, of course, with the gash in the guys arm, he was no match for Kai. Kai turned around to me, and I was lying on the floor, since Kai pushed me there before he and the cloaked man fought.
"Are you alright?"
I was waiting for Kai to shout at me for running away from him a minute ago, but his voice and his face was full of concern. But, what really gave him away were his eyes.
Those eyes.
They were filled to the brink with worry.
"I'm fine."
Kai helped me up, and, to my surprise, he started hugging me. Right there. In the open. Where people could see us, if there was anyone out for a late night stroll.
"Uh…. Kai?"
Kai looked at me. I then gasped. He was crying.
"Are you alright, Kai? Why are you crying? Are you hurt? Did the guy break anything?"
I pulled away, trying to find something wrong with him, but was just pulled into another embrace.
"No, everything's fine, now you're here."
At those words, at those simple words, Kai had made me the happiest person alive. He wasn't crying cause he was hurt, he was crying cause we were together. Not fighting, or arguing, but filled with concern for each other, and Kai was so content that he was actually showing emotions openly. And to me. I felt honoured.
But, then, something horrible. The man that Kai fought was bleeding to death, but, before he died, he sat up, and looked at us.
"You two are gonna pay for this. I'm not going down alone. I never lose. Never."
At those words, he pulled out a gun, and pulled out gun, and, with the last of his energy, he pulled the trigger, and then, past away. But, the bullet was coming straight for me. But, it never did reach me. It never came near.
"KAI!"
But, it still hurt me. Even though it never reached me physically, the emotional hurt was far more extravagant.
Kai was lying there, motionless.
"KAI! KAI! SPEECH TO ME, KAI! PLEASE! SAY SOMETHING, KAI!"
"Tyson….."
"KAI! YOU'RE ALIVE!"
"Tyson…"
"Rest, Kai. And just don't fall asleep."
"Tyson…"
"Just, stay perfectly still, and let me go get some hel-"
"TYSON!"
I looked down at Kai, who looked barely awake, like he was forcing himself to stay awake for a little bit more.
"Listen, Tyson. I'm not gonna make it-"
"Of course you are. Don't say tha-"
"And, I just want to say this one thing before I go…."
"But you're not gonna go, and I'm gonna make sure of it. I promise."
"You shouldn't make promises you can't keep."
"But I will, Kai. For you. For US."
"Listen, I just want to say, I love you. I have since the first time a saw you, but I never accepted it. But, now, I know the truth, and I hate myself for mnot telling you sooner. Forgive me. We would have had more time together."
"We've got our whole LIVES to worry about that. Now, listen to me Kai, you're gonna live. You're gonna get better. And you're gonna drive us all into the ground with practise, whether you like it or not. I ORDER you."
"But, Tyson-"
"No BUTS! Now, shut up and save your energy."
Present Time….
At this, you laughed, Kai. You laughed. You found it funny how naive was, but I was determined to save you. To save US. And I brought you back to the Dojo. Explained that Kai needed medical attention, and ASAP. You were rushed to the hospital, and you've been here ever since, for three days, you've slept. For three days we've all worried. For three days, I've dreaded the worst. But you've never given up. You're trying to stay awake, cause I told you to. You would never intestinally hurt me, but if you give up or die, you'll hurt me more then you have ever hurt me before in my life.
I bet you haven't noticed this, but I haven't left your side, not for anything except for the bathroom. Not to eat, or to sleep. Not for anything. The others are starting to worry, but they understand, none the less.
Just, get better, Kai. Not for me.
Not for you.
For us…
