~~My first Rei/Kai, I hope you people like.~~

"Found on my floor"

'That's it. Forget it. I'm never gonna get to sleep like this.' Kai looked up at the ceiling in annoyance, his arms stretched out on his bed.

His crimson eyes were wide, showing that he wasn't tired. His night clothes were a black muscle shirt, and white baggy sleep pants. He turned sideways nearly a million times, until he declared it. There wasn't a way he was going to get to sleep without drugging himself, and he didn't want to give himself a hangover. He climbed off his not so comfy bed, and headed into the kitchen to get something to drink. After climbing down the annoying stairs, and made his way to the fridge in the kitchen, not bothering to turn on the light. He opened the door, and pulled out a bottle of very weak grape wine that he stole from some guy that wasn't watching.

As he closed the door to the fridge, a small moan filled the boy's ears. He nearly dropped the bottle at the sound, but took it in both his hands, and laid it on the counter. He flipped the light to the kitchen to find a firmiliar black haired boy laying in a curled up cat pose on the cold floor. He raied an eyebrow in shock, what the hell was Rei doing in his house, sleeping on his kitchen floor? Kai walked over to the sleeping boy, and lifted his head off the floor, and got a closer look. A ring of purple was near his eye, and his cheek was a deep blueish purple shade, and his lip was covered in blood. His red band around his forehead was gone, and his black hair was no longer tied back, so it now covered the floor under him. He clothes were torn, and his gloves were covered in mud and blood. Kai felt his red eyes widen, as he took the other boy's shoulders, and shook him roughly.

"Rei, wake up! Damn you, don't die in my kitchen! Wake up!"

Kai barely felt the twitch in Rei's hand, as he yellow cat eyes opened up, vision blurry as he looked up to see Kai looking down at him. His neko eyes seemed to go into slits, as he began to struggle to get away from Kai. He managed to get away from his arm, but he only succeded to fall over, whimpering, and clutching his arm that seemed to be injured as well. Kai took his scarf that had been laid on the table that night, and brought it around Rei's loose black hair. Rei was too deep in the pain to even notice that the other boy lift him up into his arms, and start to walk up the stairs. Kai kicked the door open to his room, and walked up to the bed, and gently laid the chinese boy onto the bed, laying the blanket over him.

'Why was he trying to run away from me? And why was he hurt so badly?' Kai let his fingers run through the raven locks near his hand.

Kai shook his head, and began to head for the living room. He picked up the phone, and randomly dialed a number. He lifted the earpiece to his ear, as a voice spoke to him.

"This is 911, how can I help you?"

"I need an ambulance, my friend has been hurt."

"How was he hurt?"

"I'm not sure, lady, I just found him sleeping on my kitchen floor, but he needs help right now."

"......What's your name?"

"Why are you asking?"

"You see, boy, there's been kids that have us come to their house just because th--"

"Damn you, lady, I'll just come there myself!!" Kai hung up hard.

The red eyed boy picked the phone back up, and dialed a new number, as a few beads of sweat found their way to his forehead.

"Hello?"

"Tyson?"

"Kai? What's up, man?"

"I need a favor. Could you get one of your parents to give me a ride to the hospital?"

"Why? Is something wrong?"

"Not with me, no.....It's Rei." Kai trailed off.

"Rei?! Don't worry, Kai, I'll get my mom to drive you there, I know where you live. Be ready."

Click. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Kai dropped the phone, and headed upstairs, heading for his room. He opened the door to find Rei almost the way he left him, he just rolled over numberous times. Kai took the blanket off the raven haired boy, and lifted his frail body into his arms. The blood from his glove began to drip onto the floor. An uncomfortable frown appeared on Kai's face, as he walked down the stairs. He sat himself on the couch, and reached over where he kept his bandages, and disenfective. He put some of the disenfective on Rei's chest, hands, and face, seeing him wince as he did. Kai took Rei's hand, and began to wrap them to try and stop the bleeding. The bandages would top the bleeding wounds until Tyson arrived with his ride. As he tightened the bandages on Rei's chest, the two gold orbs opened, looking up at the crimson eyed boy. Kai tighted his grip, as the chinese boy began to struggle from his strong arms. The blue haired boy tried to keep him from moving, seeing it was reopening the wound he just patched up.

"REI, STOP IT!" Kai yelled.

Rei obeyed.

"I just finished patching your wounds, stop moving, or you'll be decorated with your blood, got it?"

Rei nodded slowly.

Kai let his grip fade, as a car horn echoed in his house. He lifted the boy back into his arms, and ran outside where Tyson was waiting, the back seat door waiting for the two. Kai climbed in, Tyson closing the door behind them. In the silence, Kai lifted the boy onto his lap, trying to bring warmth to him seeing that he was shivering. Tyson looked over, and tapped the the older boy's shoulder, making him look at the dark haired boy.

"Do you know how he ended up like this?" Tyson asked.

"No, when I found him, he was on the floor in my kitchen, but when I tried to wake him up, he tried to get away from me, as if I was the one that did this to him." Kai looked over at the other boy.

"Oh...I see, don't worry, we're almost there."

******************************************

After a huge mess with some of the doctors, they had finally gotten one of the doctors, Dr. Karimya to look at Rei's wounds. His silver and black hair was messy and short, but it stayed away from his eyes while he stitched the wound in the boy's chest. He seemed very young in Kai's eyes, but he was very experienced. The doctor turned back to Kai.

"Don't worry, young man, your friend will be fine. The bleeding in his hands should stop in a while, just let him wake up on his own." Dr. Karimya smiled softly, putting his items inside his small black bag.

"Thank you, how much do I owe you?" Kai began to reach for his wallet. ((Wow, Kai actually has money....well, right now, he's about 17, so he might have a job))

The doctor laid a amazingly strong hand on the blue haired boy's head, making him look up at his soft hazel eyes. Kai's hands quickly fell away from his pocket.

"I don't want any money from you, this one will be on me." Dr. Karimya headed for the door. "Just pay me back by keeping that boy out of trouble."

Kai nodded as Dr. Karimya walked out, closing the door on his way out. He turned back over to the black haired boy, and sat in the seat next to him. As Kai began to reach his hand for the raven haired boy in the bed, Tyson, Max, and Kenny came dashing, making him jump.

"How's Rei?!" They all shouted at once, but were silenced by Kai's finger to his lips.

"He's fine, and if you don't be quiet, he won't get the sleep he needs. Now, shut your mouths." Kai glared, then sat back down.

That moment was quickly silenced, as Kai reached his hand for the small stand near Rei's bed, and grabbed the blood stained gloves were taking off when the doctor treated his wounds. Tyson saw the look in their former leader's eyes, and simply smiled warmly. Everyone looked over to see Rei roll over a couple of times before he finally opened his eyes. They looked like the slits of the eyes of cats, as he began to force himself out of the hospital bed. Kai quickly went over, and grabbed his shoulders, keeping his on the mattress. Rei struggled, tears escaping his golden eyes. Tyson, Max and Kenny saw this as their cue to leave and hope Kai could get him to settle down, cause there wasn't anything they could do.

"Rei, stop it, why are you trying to run?" Kai felt the other boy struggle.

"Let go of me!!! LET GO!!!" Rei screamed.

"The doctors are gonna come in here, stop it now!"

"I said let g--"

Kai set his lips on Rei's, quickly silencing him. That seemed to work and no one seemed to be coming in the room at all, but....something was keeping them from seperating. Finally Rei pushed away, and turned, letting his legs hang from the side of the bed. Kai sat on the bed next to him, and laid a hand on his shoulder. He felt the young boy tense up, but greatly releaxed, knowing it was Kai.

"Rei, what happened to you?"

"....I'm not sure....it happened so fast. It was like shadows came out of nowhere, and grabbed me, and then...I felt knives against my skin, and then.......hands began to rip my clothes, and steal my hair band and head tie.....then, when I tried....I opened my eyes....and I....I couldn't see...." His wrapped up fingers made their way into his bangs, as tears began to gather in his eyes.

"......Why did you try to run from me?"

"I thought....you were one of the people that attacked me....so I did the only thing I could do...but....then you talked to me....which made me know it was you..."

Kai raised his dark blue gloved hand, and brought it across Rei's cheek, making him shiver, and close his eyes.

"If you....Rei, does....that mean....your blind....?"

"Heh....ironic, isn't it....?"

Finally. Kai saw it. The two golden orbs were a dead color, they were filled with no emotion at all. Rei knew it as well. They both knew it. Rei had lost his sight. Kai brought his arms around his shoulders, and brought the boy into a warm hug. Rei laid his hands on Kai's chest, and began to sob hard, choking on his tears. The blue haired boy raised his hand, letting it stroke and run itself through Rei's hair, whispering in his ears silently.

"Now what....Kai....what do I do now? I don't even know where I am....my eyes....I never wanted to lose my sight....Kai....tell me....what do I do?"

Kai was deep in thought. Rei certainly couldn't go home by himself, hell, he probably didn't even know it was his house that he stumbled into early on. How could Rei find his way back home if he can't see? He could see it happening.

'Sir, which way is the train station?'

'What?! The sign says it's that way...'

'Which way?'

'That way? Are you stupid, kid?'

"No....I'm....blind.'

Rei probably thought of the same thing, since he began to sob harder. Kai needed to think of something to cheer the neko-jin back up. Nothing was coming to his mind. Nothing in the slightest.

"Kai...would you let me....stay with you?"

"......" Kai felt his hand drop.

"Please, Kai..." Rei's grip on his black and red shirt grew tighter, as his tears began to soak through. "I don't know who else to go to..."

"....If that's what you want....you can." Kai spoke up.

Rei nodded, and let his grip fade, as his hands fell near Kai's sides. As the blue haired boy began to turn his head, a hand was laid on his cheek, carassing it. He began to turn, only to find his lips were locked onto Rei's. He was shocked at first, but then, his eyes closed, and his arms wrapped themselves around the chinese boy. Tyson peeked inside, to see the two boys in a lip lock. His face went red, and closed the door before Max and Kenny looked inside.

"Tyson, what's wrong? What's going on?"

"N-Nuthing, we need to go."

"What's going on in there, Tyson? Is Kai yelling at Rei?" Max went for the door, but his hand was grabbed by Kenny.

"If Kai was yelling at him, we would be able to hear them. We should get going."

Max sighed, and left a small box near the door, and left with the other two. Inside, Rei and Kai finally seperated, both short of breath. Rei laid his head on Kai's chest, sleepily.

"Kai...?"

"What, neko-jin?"

"I love you."

A smile forced itself onto Kai's face, as he laid his hand on Rei's head, gently stroking his black hair.

"I love you too." He whispered.
