The Way You Feel
Chapter 04: Wheels going on
Mr. Dickinson couldn’t take his
eyes away from Kai, who was looking rather confused at the three men around him
–did he know them?
He tried to search his mind again
but a sharp pain in his head convinced him otherwise and he glanced sadly at
Spencer, feeling really down. It was rather uncomfortable to not know who the
people around him were –even more so since they all looked like they knew him
pretty well– and if it wasn’t for the pain, he was sure he would’ve been able
to recognize them.
He sighed; maybe he just needed
some time to heal the wound on his head, after that he could eventually try
again. By now, he was comfortable in the Demolition Boys’ company, plus he
didn’t want the pain.
The four acted sort of protective
with him, and it made him feel secure. He liked that feeling, and he liked all
of them too.
“Kai, don’t you recognize me?” Mr.
Dickinson bent down, meeting the younger’s eyes with his own, his face serious,
“You really can’t tell who I am?”
“No, I’m sorry,” Kai replied
sadly, looking away disturbed. The man did not trigger any sensation from him –opposite
to the D-Boys. And he didn’t like that he was touching him. He was invading his
private space.
Spencer glared at the BBA’s
director, “don’t try to remember, you’ll just hurt yourself,” he declared to
Kai, snorting a bit.
Bruce noticed the blonde’s eyes
warm up while glancing at the slate haired teen, hardening again as he turned
again to the three adults. It was something unusual, but he looked like he
wanted to… actually protect Kai. For how strange that could appear.
Bruce put the fact away to ponder
over it later.
From the kitchen came the furious
voice of Bryan, “(WTF Spencer!)” He sure was near losing it… “(Help!
I think there’s a fire inside the oven!)”
Spencer raised one eyebrow, his
face never betraying anything while his eyes glanced at Kai in a private
sharing of amusement: the slate haired teen half grinned, catching the slight
change in his friend’s antics.
“I’ll be back in no time,” the
stated coldly, stepping as quickly as he could without hurrying towards the
kitchen, leaving a distressed Kai with the three.
“Kai, don’t you remember what
happened to you?” Bruce lifted his hand to touch Kai’s arm, but the teen backed
away on instinct as if the touch burnt.
“No” he growled back, assuming
unknowingly his usual defensive position. “The first thing I know, it was
waking up in here, with them”.
The three men knew on instinct
they needed to slow down a bit unless they wanted Kai to freak out. He didn’t
seem to like their intrusion very much.
“I’m Mr. Dickinson, Kai,” the old
man sighed deeply. “I was sort of friends with you and your team”.
Kai couldn’t understand what the
old man meant by ‘team’ but he decided to remain silent. He put a note to ask
Tala later. Or Bryan.
“Can’t you remember anything? Did
you remember the Demolition Boys? Why not us?” Bruce
leaned a little more on the youth, urging him. “Do you remember someone named
Tyson? And Max? Rei?”
He really wanted to trigger
something in Kai’s mind, something that could help him.
The names meant nothing to Kai,
just a slight sensation in the back of his mind, as if they were to mean
something but they didn’t.
Familiar
names, but at the same completely unknown. Kai closed his eyes harshly, trying in
vain to find a face for the names the mad spoke of, yet nothing came except a
sharp pain. This time he could not stop it, since Bruce was still speaking and
provoking him to react.
“Can you remember your Grandfather
and Boris?” Grandpa Granger tried in vain to stop his son, knowing he needed to
stop because Kai was evidently suffering, but failed. “And
the Abbey? Kai, can you remember the Abbey?”
Kai’s eyes shot open at the
mention of the Abbey. That name triggered something from deep inside him, the
feeling he received from his heart was complete despair –even if the name Abbey meant nothing to his mind, his
heart told otherwise.
The Abbey. The sole name filled Kai with
hurt and pain, chills running down his back.
All his being was yelling in
hatred at the name, his head aching, his heart crying, his mind screaming in
rage and suppressed fear since Bruce caused the reaction and in the middle
there was Kai, who knew nothing about it and at the same was feeling frightened
and cold.
It felt cold, awfully cold
inside.
A mere whisper, “stop...” much
like a plea, raising his hands to cover his ears as if to stop the pain.
“Stop,” he repeated.
It hurt.
A lot.
Something appeared in his mind
behind his closed eyes, a face half hidden in shadows, with red eyes that
glowed in the dark and violet hair, causing pain to flow through Kai’s body
together with fear.
He didn’t know who the man was, he
didn’t know why he felt so bad but he retreated, falling on the couch as he
clutched his head in pain.
“Stay away!” he yelled,
tears falling from his tightened eyes. He was talking to the face he saw but
also to the three who caused the image to pop out. Mr. Dickinson, Bruce and Grandpa
Granger could only stare incredulously at him, feeling guilty because it had
been their acting the cause of his reaction.
Tala came out from the kitchen; it
could have been a funny picture since he was covered with flour even on his
hair, if not for his face, the pure incarnation of fury; he picked up Kai’s
trembling body, his eyes tearing a hole inside Bruce’s own.
“What did you do?!” he hissed,
venom dripping from his voice.
“I was trying to make him
remember,” Bruce couldn’t stand the stare and looked away guilty. “I asked him
if he knew Boris or his grand–” he stopped uneasy under the glare of Tala’s icy
blue eyes.
“Leave,” Tala hissed.
“You’re doing no good”.
Kai groaned in pain and Tala
tightened his grip, whereas he looked at Bryan who came out too –completely
covered in flour as well– after a moment settling Kai with great care in the
older boy’s protective arms, turning again towards the three.
“Kai’s fine with us,” he stated
coldly. “If you want to take him away, we have the permission of a doctor: we
won’t let you hurt him –understood?” he threw at them the paper with the
doctor’s number, “now can you leave? We’re suffering some… problems we want to
solve right now,” he glanced at the kitchen with a not so calm expression.
Spencer appeared again, having
heard what Tala said. He too was angry, but he knew they only wanted to help
Kai.
“I know you just want to help
Kai,” he stated: the words were kinda nice, whilst his voice was just as cold
as steel, “but he is healing now, we are not going to let the past hurt him
more than it already did”.
Mr. Dickinson nodded. In the end,
there was nothing he could do, since one of them was above legal age –Bryan– and the others were
under his care. And if a doctor actually said Kai had to stay here, there was
nothing he could do.
“I know you’re all worried for
Kai,” he said looking at them. “We are too, you don’t
need to be that cold with us”.
Bruce decided to intervene, “Mr.
Dickinson’s right boys… we want to help that’s all”.
The tension could be felt in the
air, and the three adults decided to just leave, and return later. Obviously it
was their acting to cause the Demolition Boys to back away, and they had to
admit it hadn’t been that fair from them, seeing Kai was hurt.
Mr. Dickinson looked at them,
“We’ll be back this evening” he stated. “I want to
talk to the doctor and besides, he needs help”.
Tala glared at him.
“He has us” he replied.
……………………………………………
Tyson swallowed hard his brioche
while stuffing his mouth with another two, delighted by the taste. Before him
three empty plates stood to show his tremendous hunger, which was still not
fulfilled.
He extended his arm towards Max’s
plate, who was glad to share with him his food –he
wasn’t hungry anymore, not after seeing the Dragon eat. Besides, he had already
eaten two bowls of cereals while discussing Rei’s sexual preferences.
The said Neko-jinn was at the
moment glancing outside the window, lost in his thoughts, thinking about Kai
like he was usual do. Max peered at him through his blonde bangs, he was so
sorry for him. Kai had to see the effect he was having on Rei –that,
unless he was as blind as Tyson in this type of matters.
And reconsidering the things
better, maybe he really was. Kai didn’t seem one to linger too much in
such things as love… and by what they knew about his past, he hadn’t received
it either.
“Come on Rei, haven’t you stared
out the window a little too much?” Tyson smiled broadly, giving Max a good
sight of his mouth’s contents (which wasn’t that nice from him) and laughed
hard. “Besides, I wonder where Kai is by now, usually he’s the first to wake up”.
He looked back and forth between
his blond friend and Rei, causing them both to look away, almost guiltily.
Neither wanted to be the one to tell Tyson, after all, he was the one who felt
worst about Kai’s ‘other friends’. Soon an enraged expression appeared on
Tyson’s face, the bluenette finally understanding.
The bluenette stood up, eyes
flaming with fury, “he’s still with them?!” he slammed his fist on the
table, gritting his teeth. “I can’t accept it! He’s our captain, not a
part of their team!”
Max sighed and Rei mirrored him,
just for different reasons.
Kenny glanced at them from above
the screen of his laptop, but did not dare to speak. On the screen appeared a
blurred image that vanished as soon as it came, Kenny knew it was Dizzi; she
was used to do such thing in order to speak to her Master alone -thing you
wouldn’t expect from such a loud-mouth like she was.
Kenny stood up and walked in the
other room, closing the door behind his shoulders: the remaining BladeBreakers
didn’t even acknowledged his departure, too deep in their own concerns.
“Yeah, Dizzi, I know,” Kenny
sighed, looking down at his laptop with sad eyes, “but I am not supposed to
tell them, am I?”
Dizzi huffed, “Come on Chief, you
shouldn’t be so stubborn! It would be much better to just tell them that Kai
deserves to have friends –apart you all”. The voice coming from the laptop was
annoyed; if anyone heard her speak, they would believe it was just a computer’s
program which could speak like a human, but instead it was the Beast inside the
laptop, who was glad she could speak with her Master, “It’s easy to say, you
can repeat it with me, Chief! Come on… Kai
has friends”.
She was somewhat sarcastic now,
knowing too well how the others would react to that speech. She was a BitBeast
trapped in a laptop, but that didn’t mean she was blind to what happened around
her. She wasn’t good only with beyblade, after all.
“They don’t know” Kenny picked up
a spare part of BeyBlade and checked it fondly –he loved his part in the
‘Breakers team as the scientist. His eyes though, were slightly glazed over as
he remembered. “You know what happened when I tried to tell them that Tala and
the others are really friends with Kai! They laughed in my face! They can’t
believe it, since they saw how the four behaved during the championships,” he
waved his hand dismissively, “Besides, if Kai can’t take care of it himself,
it’s his fault”.
Kenny felt a little bad because he
too couldn’t really believe that the Demolition–Boys were good people.
Dizzi laughed at his words and at
his scrunched up face, knowing exactly what he was thinking, then she spoke, her
voice dripping sarcasm again like she was used to, “It’s just that, even if you
searched for information on them, and got a lot of it, you still can’t believe
they’re good, ne?”
Kenny flushed slightly and shook
his head hastily, cursing himself for her perceptive self.
“Chief, I know you too well,” the
Beast giggled.
He sighed and just dropped the
subject.
He knew she was right –he had
searched not only on internet, but also by speaking to some kids coming from
the Abbey, to know something more about the Demolition Boys after the
Championship, and what he found out was quite disturbing.
If not completely shocking.
At first he couldn’t find anyone
who had been inside the Abbey for longer than the last two years (did that mean
the D-Boys were the only ones to resist inside that place for so long?) and all
the kids told him they were bad guys; they all feared him, they all were scared
and wouldn’t speak more in fear of the four teens’ wrath, even though the Abbey
was no more.
Finally, after a lot of wasted
attempts and lost time, he had managed to track down a boy who was on his late
teens and had been in the Abbey for quite a lot, but had abandoned the place.
Speaking with him had proven difficult, but the results were what Kenny had
both hoped for, and wished against.
–Start Flashback–
“Hey, you! Please, stop!” Kenny was starting
to feel tired because the boy hadn’t stopped walking ever since Kenny saw him,
and he was looking like he had no intention to stop, ever. “Come on!”
Kenny wasn’t exactly an athlete,
thus he couldn’t even keep up with the other teen’s pace. It was a lost cause,
already.
It was Dizzi’s time to pop up,
“Chief, did you realize he may not know Japanese?” her voice echoed from her
position under Kenny’s arm, “try something else!”
He stopped, “Why didn’t you tell
me that before?” he asked bewildered, glasses shifting downwards for a few
inches. Her statement should have been an obvious conclusion for him to reach
as well, but somehow he’d forgotten the little language detail.
“It was fun to see you try to
reach him,” she replied smugly.
Kenny narrowed his eyes, fighting
the urge to smash his computer on the ground; he liked Dizzi alright, but…
hell, sometimes she was even worst than Tyson…
The brown haired teen frowned in
concentration though no one could see it, then he cleared his voice and tried
in English, the only other language he knew, hoping the other guy could
understand him.
“(Hey, you,
with the grey hair!)” He called out. “(Please, stop!)”
The boy turned slightly, his brown
eyes clearly confused, as the shorter boy finally managed to reach him, and
Kenny took his breath for a moment, panting with his hands on his knees.
“(Sorry to bug you,)” Kenny spoke
through his pants, straightening up to stare at the other teen in the eyes.
“(Is your name Vassilj Borjei?)”
The boy glared at him, and though
it was nothing compared to Kai’s own glare, Kenny could see some resemblances,
and shuddered slightly. He wasn’t that brave either.
“(Da,)” the older teen replied
sternly. “(Who are you?)” His English was heavy with Russian accent.
“(I’m part of the BladeBreakers’
team,)” Kenny replied, trying to put out his guts, since he was afraid of the
boy. Now that he was before him, he looked scarier than before… but he needed
the information.
“(You fought against the
Demolition Boys,)” Vassilj stated, mildly amused but with a light of
recognition in his eyes. “(What do you want? I don’t share your passion
anymore)”.
The last line was spoken with a
dark edge on it.
Kenny cleared his throat again,
searching for the right words.
“(You were once in the Abbey, were
you?)” He asked tentatively. “(You trained with the Russian Champions, am I
right?)”
Vassilj snorted but nodded.
Kenny’s face brightened up.
“(If I hadn’t fallen terribly ill,
I would still be in that place,)” he growled, his voice
low. “(I thank God for that)”.
Then his face cleared as he smiled,
even though the smile was a bit forced.
“(You don’t need to fear me,)” he
stated, pointing towards what looked like a café, “(Follow me)”.
Kenny gulped as he followed him,
cursing himself for being such a coward –though he had to admit he felt a bit
relieved… in a place as crowded as a café he was pretty safe. Sitting inside the
café Vassilj ordered a glass of clear vodka, while Kenny asked for a simple
glass of milk –eliciting a laugh from the Russian.
“(You want to know about the
Demolition Boys, that’s it,)” Vassilj drank down half his glass
in one go while Kenny glanced worriedly at him. “(No much to say… if you
believe what people outside says,)” his eyes turned cold. “(I used to know
pretty well Bryan before I found my way out of that place, and if something
called friendship can blossom in the Abbey, then we were friends)”.
Kenny looked astonished at him,
and the grey haired teen laughed again; but in his laugh there was no trace of
mirth. It was cold, clipped, and raw.
“(We’re not monsters, little kid,)”
Vassilj drank another sip of his vodka, smaller this time, and glared straight
in Kenny’s eyes –thought he couldn’t see them, he had a pretty good impression
of where they should have been. “(I assure you we can have feelings, and the
Demolition Boys are no exception; now they have changed a lot, but I assure you
I am not lying)”.
“(B… but then… how did they act
when you were still in the Abbey?)” Kenny managed to ask, swallowing down his
milk quickly in fast small gulps.
Vassilj sniffed hard, eyes boring
in the table in front of him. “(They were already on Boris’ special list,)” his
eyes turning emotionless at the name of his former director. It was a common
reaction from all the teens he’d spoken with. “(I was not, lucky me,)” he
sipped again his vodka, “(they were treated worst than us all, and still they
managed to defy Boris as much as they could… oh yes, they were what we kids
used to call the ‘Five Elements of chaos’)”.
He looked lost in memories, but
the other had a pressing question.
Kenny looked at him timidly, “(Five?
But the Demolition Boys are just four…)” as he spoke, the answer was already in
his mind.
“(Silly little kid, there was
another one with them,)” Vassilj laughed a little. “(There was the Air, which
was Bryan, then the Earth, which was Ian, the Water, Spencer, the Ice, Tala, and
the Fire, and that one was…)”
“(Kai,)” whispered Kenny
knowingly.
“(Da, you’ve got it little kid!)”
Vassilj turned to the barman and ordered another vodka.
“(Kai was like the flame and they were like moths –since he was the one to defy
orders the most,)” he shook his head in bewilderment. “(He was… is… the
grandson of the owner, and he was too on the fav’s list of the director,)” he
thanked the maid and sipped his second glass. “(As soon as he was out of the
Abbey Boris started treating the remaining four harder, and they couldn’t
anymore defy him, since the departure of one of their best friends hurt them
badly)”.
He gulped down his glass and stood
up, glancing down at Kenny with knowingly eyes.
“(I know what you wished to hear
boy, that there was no explanation of the Demolition Boys’ acting during the
tournament, that they were ruthless all their life,)” he sneered. “(It’s easier
this way, right? To hate them. But they were not, it’s just that they can’t anymore live like normal
people… I had to go through two psychologists to even be able to think back to
that time I spent into the Abbey)”.
He pat patted Kenny on the head
and smirked.
“(That’s the truth little kid –now
it’s up to you)”.
With that he left some money on
the table and walked away, leaving Kenny shocked and confused.
–End Flashback–
Kenny sighed,
he still hadn’t had time to speak alone with Kai about that stuff: maybe he
wouldn’t be that happy to know someone knew about his past…
……………………………………………
“I’ll call the doctor later,”
decided Mr. Dickinson, looking at Bruce and his father. “But right now, I think
Tyson and his friends need to know what happened to Kai”.
Bruce looked for a moment at his
side, meeting Stanley’s
eyes before returning his sight to the road.
“Yes, but would it be good to tell
them he’s with the Demolition Boys?” he reasoned. “I don’t think they’re in
good terms with each other”.
“I can’t care less now, Kai needs
to find back his memories, and I am positive Tyson and the others can help
him,” answered Mr. Dickinson, determined. “They will have to get along if they
really care for him”.
Grandpa Granger chuckled at that,
a mental picture of Tala and Tyson calling themselves ‘buddies’ appearing in
his mind, but then he shook forcibly his head –he knew this was not gonna
happen, but still he was positive they would at least stand each other, for
Kai’s sake.
As Mr. Dickinson knocked at the
door, the well–known footsteps of Tyson generated a stampede and after a second
–when the three men were sure the door would crash down by the force of said
stampede– Tyson’s face appeared on the doorstep.
“Oh, hi Mr. Dickinson, hi dad, hi
grandpa!” he was holding a brioche in his hand, as he welcomed them inside.
“We need to speak with you for a
moment,” Bruce started as he nodded to Tyson and the others, who gathered
around them. “It’s about Kai”.
“What
happened to him?!” Rei jumped over Bruce, his eyes turning into golden slits while
suspicion appeared on his face.
Taken slightly aback Bruce gulped,
this was the second time someone younger attacked him, “Well… he has been found
unconscious by Tala yesterday,” he said calmly, half aware of the glare Rei was
sending towards him at the mention of the Russian’s name. “And I’m afraid he’s
having a serious case of amnesia”.
Tyson looked lost, but Max, Rei
and Chief were shocked.
“Er… someone? I think I am lost here” Tyson
admitted, turning towards his friend for a simpler explanation.
“Amnesia it’s when a person can’t
recognize his friends and relatives,” Kenny explained to the confused Dragon.
“It can be partial so you can’t remember just parts of your life, or total, in
which you can’t even remember who you are –and it’s quite painful too”.
The bluenette’s eyes widened in
realization, “That means… he can’t remember us?!” yelled Tyson, shocked.
‘How dull’ couldn’t help but think Max. “Yes, Tyson,” he commented aloud.
“So where is he?! He isn’t with
the Demolition Boys, is he?” Rei yelled, grabbing Bruce’s arm tightly.
“He is,” replied Mr. Dickinson
blinking at him. “He seems to be comfortable around them now, and they said
they consulted a doctor, who deemed it better to let him stay with them”.
“You can’t let him! They will lure
him again into something as stupid as the World domination!” yowled Tyson,
grabbing Mr. Dickinson’s arm. “They will deceive him easily now that he can’t remember
us!”
“Tyson, you can’t attack them,
they’re teens just like you, they’re not bad,” Bruce scolded him. “They were
just under Boris’ control!”
“But dad!” Tyson looked at him slightly
hurt, but Grandpa Granger blocked him. “Kai dude seemed fine to me,” he stated.
“They were really nice with him, and if a doctor thought it would do well for
him, then why would us spite him?”
Max and Kenny nodded, but the
other two were not the same opinion.
“I wanna
go see him!” declared the Neko-jin, clenching his fist. “I want to make sure he
really forgot us, maybe we can trigger some memories in him!”
“Boys, I don’t think it is a good
option–” Bruce tried to stop them, but it was too late –the BladeBreakers were
already out of the room.
“I just hope they will not
aggravate things,” sighed Mr. Dickinson. “We messed up already by playing the
part of the bad guys, I don’t want the Demolition Boys
to close up more than they already are”.
