Poisonous Thoughts
Ch1- Cough, sneeze, wheeze
The time is around 6am and the dawn air is filled with the familiar metal on metal sounds of a bey battle.
The 5 Blade Breakers were gathered around a small bey stadium. Tyson and Max were battling as Chief analyzed them and Ray and Kai watched.
"Dragoon attack!" Tyson shouted and his white blade hammered into the green blade that was spinning in the middle of the dish.
"Keep it up Draciel!" Max encouraged his blade.
"Tyson you have to try a different approach! You're not getting anywhere like that!" Kenny warned, analyzing the battle on his laptop.
"I'll get this! Dragoon phantom hurricane attack!" Tyson declared.
The white blade created a massive whirling storm that picked up the green blade and blew it out of the stadium.
"Wow, nice match Tyson." Max said retrieving his blade from the lawn.
"Ha ha! I win!" Tyson cheered. "Now let's eat!" Tyson shouted and ran back into the dojo.
Inside was a stout old man sitting at the table with Tyson's grandfather.
"Oh hi, Mr. Dickenson, what's up?" Tyson asked skidding to a halt.
"Hello boys, I've got excellent news." Mr. Dickenson began. "There's a tournament in Australia, you'll be leaving tomorrow morning to get in some special training there. The tournament begins in three days." He verbally graphed out.
"Sweet! It's been a while since we've been there!" Tyson shouted and pumped his fists in the air. "We'll totally kick butt!"
"Yeah, this will be a nice change of pace." Ray added cheerfully.
"Right on!" Max agreed and he and Tyson ran off to pack.
"Hey, Mr. Dickenson, what's the tournament for? I haven't heard anything about it before?" Ray asked thinking back to all the tournament announcements.
"Nothing real big, they just invited the BBA Revolution and I didn't think you kids would mind." Mr. Dickenson explained.
"That's cool, I'm gonna go pack now." Ray said and hurried to his room.
Kai was already there and apparently done with packing.
"You excited about the tournament?" Ray asked sliding a few personal belongs into his duffle bag.
Kai shrugged and suddenly began coughing loudly. He cleared his throat and began walking out of the room as if nothing happened.
"Kai." Ray said sternly. "You should really get that checked."
Kai grumbled something incoherent and coughed again, but his time a bit softer.
"You need to take easy for the rest of the day." Ray suggested obviously concerned for his captain.
"I'll be fine." Kai growled and coughed again.
Ray sighed and shook his head; there was no convincing Kai other wise so he proceeded with packing his bag.
Later That Evening Kai's POV
I definitely feel sick now. I'll be fine in the morning though. Just as the thought left my head began to throb and my joints felt like they were on fire.
I took a heavy step forward and the entire hall began spinning. I leaned against wall and took a deep breath.
Easy. It's a strait line to my bedroom. Just follow the wall and it will fine.
I took another deep breath and stood up strait, keeping on hand on the wall. I took a feeble step forward, loosing my balancing and crashing into the wall with my shoulder.
Suddenly a pair of strong arms pulled me up, steadying my weakened body.
"You all right Kai?" A distorted voice asked lowly.
I turned to see who it was and nearly lost my balance again but those strong arms caught me so I was facing them. I struggled to focus my vision to make out who it was.
"Ray?" I said and brushed him off me. "Go away." I said and started denying that I was sick.
"What? I haven't even said anything, yet." Ray interrupted, somewhat confused by my foresight.
"But you will." I said and tried to walk down the hall but the rest of my strength left me and I fell against the wall again.
Beads of sweat were running down my face, it felt like my whole body was on fire and I nearly completely immobilized.
"Kai, you don't look so hot." Ray said cautiously approaching.
I glared daggers at him and the stupid irony of his comment. I tried to stand up strait and look perfectly healthy but my vision had to go and ruin it.
The hallway blurred and all the colors jumped off the walls at me, I tried to step back to avoid getting bombarded with the colors but I tripped and fell back.
Pain seared up my back and through out my body as I crashed to the floor.
Ray ran over and leaned over me, moving his mouth as if he was speaking to me but there was no sound. However his golden eyes drew my eyes to them. The color all around began fading into gray that slowly dimmed to black but those eyes stayed bright, burning their image into my mind. Burning even for fierce than the fire was body was feeling.
Ray's POV
"Kai!" I shout as Kai's eye's fell shut. "Kai!" I shouted again and gently shook his shoulders.
I picked him up bridal style and carried him into our shared bedroom. I gently laid him on the bed and leaned in to feel his forehead.
"Ouch! That's hot!" I recoiled and shook my, blowing tenderly on it.
I'm positive it was burned, or at least singed. Well then I had best fetch a doctor and cold washcloth for him.
I got up and was about to exit when Kai began coughing violently. I raced back and tuned him on is side and lightly patted his patted his. I coed to him, backhandedly trying to calm him but it was more for me than him.
He stopped and sighed but I was still unsure if he'd start back up while was gone. After fretting over it for a few seconds I decided I had best chance it, Kai can handle coughing but he can't stay in this condition.
I swiftly replaced myself with a pillow and slid out the door, pausing to make sure he didn't start back up.
A Little While Later Normal POV
Kai began to stir and opened his eyes slowly. He scanned the room, vacant.
"I must have made it back fine." He mumbled and rubbed his head, wondering why it hurt.
He swung his feet off the bed and woozily stood up. Steadying himself on the nightstand and scanned the room again, but when he turned his head nausea knocked him back onto the bed. He held his stomach and covered his mouth as he forced himself to fight off the sickness. Slowly he removed his hand from his mouth and inhaled deeply, steadying his nerves.
He tried again to stand and was able to walk shakily to the bathroom attached to his and Ray's room. He balanced himself against the doorframe and waited for the nausea to pass before he staggered to the sink. He weakly pushed the door close and turned on the cold water. He splashed his already drenched face and lost his balance.
He stumbled back and tripped over the edge of the tub and fell in, ripping the shower curtain down and shaking the entire dojo too.
Ray dashed in and scanned the room, no Kai. Then he noticed the faint sound of water running in the bathroom. The door was partially open and he carefully approached.
"Uh, Kai?" He said pushing it open slowly.
As he opened it further he saw Kai's legs hanging out of the bathtub.
"Kai!" He shouted and throwing open the door.
Ray quickly pulled his captain out and helped him to his feet.
Kai groaned in pain as he steadying himself on the sink. During the process of turning off the water his legs gave out and he sunk to the floor. Ray didn't let him get all the way down before he pulled him up into his arms and walked him back to their bed.
"You're very sick, you have to lay down and sleep." Ray instructed as he fully shut off the water.
"I'll be fine." Kai said informatively and tried to stand but fell right back down.
"You're going to stay in bed, even if I have to tie you to it." Ray stated dryly and glared at Kai. If you just rest up, you might be better by the time the tournament starts." Ray said growling at Kai's stubbornness.
Kai quit trying to stand and flopped back onto the bed.
"That's the right idea." Ray said smugly and walked over to the bed. "Wow, asleep already. I knew he was tired." Ray said and smiled knowingly.
