Chapter 1 of le third book is here!!!! I'm so glad you guys have read this far!

Numbness, that's the feeling that existed within a jade eyed brunette as he lay upon a hospital bed. Slightly disorientation was natural for him to feel, for he had just woken up and had no idea as to how he had ended up there.

The slight creaking of a door made jades glance towards the right to see Miwa slowly enter the room, grey orbs gazing sadly towards the ground. The solemn look upon the blond's face shocked Kai for he had never seen such a sad expression upon his normally cheery friend's face.

Then grey orbs finally lifted from the ground and moved towards the brunette, pure shock took over the blond's previous expression.

"KAI!!!!"

Miwa called, tears steaming from his grey orbs as he rushed towards the confused brunette.

"Not so loud Miwa..."

The brunette winced slightly at his friend's loud voice.

"Sorry..... I was just... So happy that you've woken up...."

Miwa murmured as he sniffed and wiped away his tears, Kai sighed and tried to get up but quickly stopped his actions when a sharp pain filled his chest as he moved quickly.

"Tch...... Why am I in pain? what happened?"

The brunette replied, still confused as to how he had ended up in the hospital.

"You don't remember?...."

The blond's gaze darkened as he spoke, adding additional confusion to the brunette.

"Remember what?"

"........ The plane you and Aichi were on crashed..... You've been unconscious for four months...."

Jades widened as the brunette remembered the plane becoming all shaky.

"Where's Aichi? is he alright?!"

"............"

Kai felt as if his entire world had come to a standstill, the blond's expression told him all that he needed to know about the blue haired boy's fate.

"....... Did he suffer?"

The brunette asked, his voice cracking ever so slightly as tears began to fall from glistening jades.

"I don't know..... He was never found...."

Miwa whispered softly, understanding his friend's emotions clearly.

".........."

"..... I'll leave you alone for a boy to think while I go fetch the doctor....."

Miwa said as he moved away from the sorrow filled brunette and headed out the door in search of the doctor in charge of his friend.

"Why did Aichi have to die?..... He had been through so much...... It isn't fair....."

The brunette slumped down into the bleach white hospital bed and moved the sheets so that they covered his head. He didn't want anyone who entered the room to look at the tears that were still streaming from his eyes.

It was a good while before the brunette heard the door to his hospital opening once again, this time with two pairs of footsteps.

He wiped away his tears swiftly before uncovering his head from the blanket, however the redness that rimmed the jades didn't fool Miwa as the blond moved to the side out of the doctor's way.

"Hi Kai"

The blond haired doctor said, the brunette recognized him to be Shinko, Aichi's old doctor.

"........."

"How do you feel?...."

Shinko asked as he quickly took the brunette's vitals, the doctor wasn't sure as to how he should react, for he personally knew what had transported between Aichi and Kai.

"Fine......."

Kai replied, avoiding eye contact with either of the other two in the room.

"...... I see....... Would you like me to explain what happened to you for you to lose consciousness for so long?"

"Doesn't matter...."

The doctor sighed before looking towards Miwa who nodded at him.

"Well I'll tell you anyway.... Many of your bones broke.... and you had countless flesh wounds littered upon your body, however your frontside was perfectly fine. As if something had shielded you."

Shinko took a breath to allow the information to sink into the brunette before he carried on.

"Your front side, despite being unharmed... was covered in blood that was later tested to belong to someone we all know...."

Jades lit up with surprise before realization cloaked the brunette causing him to clench the bleach white sheets within his fists.

"Aichi......"

A grim nod from both blonds made dread once again fill the brunette, Aichi had shielded him again and had become seriously hurt in the process.

"Yes...... We believe that because of Aichi, you're able to be here today..."

Shinko replied darkly.

The brunette was silent, not knowing how to react to the news, for the one he had silently sworn to himself to protect, had somehow managed to switch their roles so that he was the one whom had ended up being protected.

"So then how come Aichi wasn't found?....."

The brunette whispered, he knew for sure that the young boy had been at his side, so he wondered exactly how the boy had eluded being found.

"We don't know, the plane crashed on a beach..... We think that Aichi may have fallen into the ocean and was taken by the current because of his small size....."

Miwa replied, gritting his teeth slightly and clenching his teeth as he remembered the days he had spent watching the news in hope of his blue haired friend being found.

"The ocean..... So it's been four months since everything has happened?......"

The blond nodded, he still couldn't believe it himself.

"Yes...... We already had the funeral.... We waited for you to wake up but.... so much time had passed...."

The brunette understood the reasoning within his friend's words, it was ridiculous to postpone a funeral for four months without ever knowing when he would wake up.

"I see...... how is Aichi's family holding up?"

"........ You should go there for a visit yourself when you're able to....."

Kai nodded before moving to carefully remove the IV that was attached to his wrist. He paused in surprise when he noticed how boney he had become.

"..... I will"

The brunette said as he removed the IV carefully so that it didn't bleed too much that he would need the injury to be covered up by something.

"Oh I almost forgot..... The search team found something that I think you would want....."

Miwa said as he reached into his pocket to pull out a cardfight card, the brunette raised a curious brow when the card was placed face down in his hands.

"Which card is thi-"

The words caught in his throat as he revealed the extremely familiar card; it was blaster blade, the blue haired boy's most prized possession, in perfect condition.

"We found both you and Aichi's decks....."

"........."

The brunette was silent as he gazed at the card that shared so many memories with the blue haired boy, unaware of the stream of tears that had once again began falling down his face.

Miwa allowed a small smile to creep along his face as he silent watched his good friend cry.

Me: that's the end of the chappy

Kai: I want to hurt you

Me: hehe and I bet a few others are angry at me as well....

Miwa: DUH!!!! You killed Aichi!!!

Kai: that was so uncalled for.....
