"What do you think we should do?" Ray asked quietly. He and the rest of the Bladebreakers were at Tyson's house, discussing what they had just heard.
"We could just talk to him," Max suggested.
Tyson rolled his eyes. "What are we gonna say? 'Hey, you know how Hikari said that you murdered her sister; what did she mean by that?' He didn't exactly deny it."
"Tyson, are you saying that you believe that Kai is capable to killing someone?" Kenny admonished.
"No! Ah... well, I hate him training us all the time but - I mean - he's only a year older than us; he can't be doing something like that," Tyson rambled.
Silence.
"Now you're saying that you have to be a certain age to be able to kill someone."
Tyson clutched his cap in exasperation. "Argh! I didn't mean it like that! I just meant that it was unlikely that he'd do something like that at his age. And no, I don't think that he's a killer."
"That's good - because he isn't." Tyson started and snapped his head to the window (as did the others); there was someone sitting there on the windowsill.
"Who're you?"
:-:-:
Kai was back to wandering the streets again. He didn't feel like going back to training; they could do fine without him for a while.
It was also because, with all the encounters with the Mary Sues, he felt that he didn't want to inflict them on this own teammates.
"Um... excuse me," a timid voice behind him said.
Kai stopped and looked over his shoulder. It was a girl of about Kenny's height; she had glasses, her hair was tied in a low ponytail and wearing a regular t-shirt, jeans and trainers. She also had a blank book and a pen with her. "Could you sign this for me?" she asked, presenting him with the book and pen.
He looked at her again and made sure that there wasn't any other emotions -or voices- in his head. There wasn't.
He gently took the book and pen from her small hands, asked her name (Lindsey) and then signed it. She thanked him, paused, looking like she wanted to hug him but when she saw that the wrist guards were at the same height of her neck (not to mention longer than her head) she didn't come closer.
"Thanks again." That said, she put the book into one of her pockets and walked away.
Kai sighed. That was exactly the reason why he liked fans. Yes, she was female, so therefore she should have been a fangirl but she wasn't. The difference between the two was that the fangirl demanded that they were to be with someone while the fans liked whoever it was but also respected the fact that they had a life apart from meeting people. Also, not all people like being touched or rugby tackled.
If the fangirl's did that, they would find that they wouldn't have to sneak to places because the object of their desire would want to meet with them instead of hiding from them.
Why did the ratio of fangirl to fan have to be so high?
:-:-:
"Who are you?!"
"Tyson, you don't have to say that twice."
"Well?"
"Maybe if you'd actually let me talk..." This was followed by a pointed look and a raised eyebrow. "Unfortunately, I can't tell you who I am. The reasons for that are justified," he said that before Tyson could start shouting again. "Who knows, you might work it out."
Tyson huffed and look a closer look at the stranger. He had jet black hair that reached his shoulders; his eyes were a dark brown that seemed relaxed - Tyson figured it was because his eyes were half closed anyway; on his right ear (he couldn't see the other one) were multiple piercings, mostly silver studs. On clothing, the stranger wore black; black shirt, black leggings, black trainers and also sported a strap on his wrist.
"So, ah, what do we call you?" Kenny asked.
The stranger shrugged. "Whatever you want. It's not like I'll be staying long and this may be the only time that I talk to you."
The Bladebreakers glanced uneasily at each other. What did that mean? "So what are you doing here?" Ray asked.
"I'm making sure that something doesn't happen." The stranger sighed. "Kai isn't a killer; he's finishing off something that should have been months ago." He frowned. "I don't know if he's ready for all of it but I'll be there to help him when he needs it."
"But Hikari said-"
"Who do you trust more? A girl who can't seem to stay with one emotion for more than five minutes or the guy who's your team leader and have known for over a year?"
"I guess..."
The stranger gave them a small smile. "That's good."
"But what did you mean when you said that Kai's going to need your help? Doesn't he want ours?" Max asked worriedly.
Again, the stranger smiled. "He doesn't want you getting involved. Also, you don't know what to do while I do.
"Now, no matter what you hear, trust Kai. He'll need the support after he's done." The stranger then slipped off of the windowsill and left them alone again.
:-:-:
"My Prince! I have found you!"
'No. Nonono,' Kai's mind wailed. How had he been found so easily and by... whoever the heck this woman was.
"My betrothed, are you not happy to see me?" Kai felt fingers brush his shoulder. "It has been ten years since we last saw each other, can't you hug me?"
'I was three, how am I supposed to remember?!' Still, he didn't turn around.
"Will you at least stop?"
"No. Leave me alone?"
"Why would I do that, dearest? I love you!"
At this, Kai snapped. "Look," -he whirled around to face her- "I do not love you. I don't remember you!"
The girl's eyes filled with tears. "You don't remember me?" she whispered. "It's me, Princess Mercury Alexandria Raivyn Yukiko Sora Urasil Eiko!"
'Did she say that all in one breath?' "No. If you don't mind, since I don't know you, I'm leaving." Kai felt someone grab his arm. Out of reflex, he shoved her away. That was when he noticed how close to the road he was. As he watched, Princess Mercury Alex... her, she fell - into the way of an oncoming car.
There was a thud as she hit the bonnet -again, no blood- and then she shattered and disappeared. The car continued on without swerving, as if it hadn't hit anything in the first place.
Kai continued to look at the part of the road where there should have been a red patch before a single thought surfaced.
'Huh.'
:-:-:
"We really should have followed Kai when he ran off."
"We probably wouldn't have caught up with him, even if we did."
"Same with that other guy."
"Well, is there a place that we can look for Kai? He could be anywhere."
"Um..."
"Hey little dudes!"
"Ugh, grandpa!"
"What? I as just going to ask if you wanted something to eat."
"Yes please."
"That's be great!"
"Hmm-hm."
"Okay, I'll just get it ready then."
"Do you think he'd tell us if we asked him?"
Tyson laughed.
"We could still try."
"Fine. As soon as we find him."
:-:-:
-'That was rather unorthodox.'-
'It got rid of her though.' Kai was back to his drifting. That was the fourth one in under an hour. Just how big was this family? And who would want to name their kid that?
-'It might not have.'-
Kai slowed down. 'She got hit by a car and disappeared. How is that not getting rid of her?'
-'Do you remember how Yunalesca died?'-
'Yes. She faded. But they might just die in different ways.'
-'Or are you hoping? You don't think that that hasn't happened before? That before they've integrated themselves with a character, there were accidents? Sometimes they were done purposely on both sides. The Sue did it because then, the character would somehow end up looking after her.'-
'So she'll come back then?'
-'Yes. Don't worry, she won't be angry with you.'-
'Whoopee.'
:-:-:
"Thanks for the food," Ray called from the entrance.
"Yeah, it was great," Max added.
Tyson had just stepped out onto the pavement when he saw him. "Hey! Kai!"
Kai stopped and turned around. He frowned and looked at the building that Tyson had come out of. 'How did I not realise that I'd
passed his house?'
He felt amusement. -'You were talking to me, that's why.'-
Tyson ran up to him and asked, "Where've you been?"
"Around."
There was a brief silence as Tyson and Kai waited for the others to catch up.
Ray was the one who asked the next question. "Hey, Kai? Hikari said that you'd killed her sister; is that true?"
Kai snorted and rolled his eyes. "No. They seem too different to be sisters."
"So you had...?"
Here, Kai sighed. "I suppose it would be better if I told you but you wouldn't believe me." He turned to walk away.
"How do you know that we won't believe you?" Max asked.
Kai chuckled and shook his head. "I just know."
"Argh! Kai, you've gotta tell us something!" Tyson pleaded. "We've already had a talk with a weird guy that only gave us hints about what was happening!"
Kai gave him a sharp look. "He knew?"
Tyson nodded. "Yeah."
"Where did he go?" Kai demanded.
"Well, that way I guess," Tyson said, pointing.
Instantly, Kai was off, running in that direction.
"Hey! Wait up!"
:-:-:
Brown eyes followed Kai as he ran away. 'It's good to know that he's so focused on his "work". I wonder how he'll react when he finds out that there's more?' The stranger smirked from his vantage point. 'I can't wait.'
