Ray's P.O.V

I'm laying on my bed just staring at the ceiling. Why did I let that...woman...take Kai? I know what she does to him. Why didn't I try harder to make him stay? I sat up and sighed. I felt sick to my stomach. It's my fault if anything happens to Kai.

I walked to my closet to get something more comfortable to run in. Changing quickly I opened the window, easily jumping to the tree. Catching myself on the branch, I slid down and began walking, trying to clear my head.

As I walked around the neighborhood, the feeling in my stomach got worse and worse that it was almost impossible to bear. Finally I decided to go check on Kai. I had to make sure he was alright. Running along the streets, I began my search for Kai.

It felt like I had been running for hours, but in reality, it was only about ten minutes. Glancing around quickly to see where I was at, I took of running again. I was getting close. His house should be only about four or five more blocks. Growling slightly at how slow I seemed to be going, I pushed myself harder to run faster. What if Kai was hurt? I had to hurry and make sure he was ok.

Kai's P.O.V

I groaned as something kicked my side. Opening my eyes the best I could, I looked up into the eyes of my father.

"Get up." he ordered sternly. "You've got blood all over my floor. It better be cleaned by the time we get back."

I nodded as I stumbled up from the floor. Everything hurt and my vision was seriously blurry. It was taking everything I had to just stand up.

"Honey? Where's my coat?" I heard my mother call from her room.

"Is it in the closet?" he called back. "Or did you leave it in the washroom?"

"I don't know. I can't remember." she sighed as she walked into the room father and I were in.

She glared at me as soon as he saw me. "You finally woke up? Pathetic child." she growled, crossing her arms. "Go find my coat."

"Y-yes ma'am." I said as I limped towards the closet. I think I saw her throw it in there. I leaned against the wall to keep myself steady, but that was a bad idea. I was still bleeding pretty badly and I left a trail of crimson along the white walls. I yelped as someone slammed my face against the wall.

"Idiotic child! What do you think your doing?" my father screamed as he grabbed my hair and forced me to look at the blood. "Are you trying to ruin my house?"

I whimpered quietly as I struggled to stay awake. My vision was just a blur of color and I hurt everywhere. He pushed me away from him and I fell to the floor.

"Stand up." my mother sneered.

I pulled myself up, using the wall for support. I looked up at them even though I couldn't see them.

"We'll be gone for a couple of hours. I want this house spotless. I want the blood gone and there better not be a single stain of blood." my mother ordered.

I nodded but the action almost made me fall over, so I stopped. They walked towards the door, slamming it behind them.

"I l-love you too..." I whispered even though I knew no one could hear me.

I glanced at the floor and walls but all I saw was a blur of white and red. I sighed and made my way slowly to the kitchen to get something to clean up the blood with. After nearly falling twice, I was back in the living room, ready to clean the mess of blood. I tried to keep my eyes open but I couldn't. I fell forward, expecting to hit the tiled floor, but I didn't. Instead I fell into someone's arms.

(A/N: I was going to end the chapter here, but then it would have been way to short...)

Rei's P.O.V

I finally made it to Kai's neighborhood. The only thing now was to find Kai's house. Sneaking my way along the street, I saw two people walking out of a house. I didn't regonize the man, but I knew the woman. I felt like attacking her, but of course, I didn't. I snuck to the back yard of a near by house and made my way quickly but silently to Kai's. When the car passed by, I opened the window and snuck inside. Instantly the metallic smell of blood hit me. Was I to late?

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone. All I could see was blood smeared on the walls and puddles of the red liquid on the floor. I frowned. Something told me it was all Kai's. I heard someone coming so I hid behind the chair near the wall. I sighed with relief when I saw it was Kai, but my relief instantly faded into worry. He looked like he was struggling to keep his eyes open and it didn't take a genius to tell that he had lost way to much blood. I tried to say something, but I couldn't. My throat felt like it had closed up. I jumped up and ran to him when he started to fall over. I caught him in my arms, panic instantly filling my mind.

"Kai?!" I wanted him to answer me. I wanted him to wake up and tell me he was fine. "Please Kai! Open your eyes!"

He didn't answer me. I was scared. I picked him up, shifting so he was on my back and ran. What do I do?! I have to help him, I know that, but then what? I can't let him go back, that much is obvious. I'd rather die than let him go back there.

Kicking open my front door, I ran to the living room, carefully putting Kai on the couch.

"Mom!" I screamed as I looked around for some alcohol and bandages. "Mom! Where are you?"

"Rei, what's wrong dear?" I heard my mother ask from the kitchen.

"I need you to call the police or something please!" I practically screamed at her as I ran back to the living room.

"What ever for d--" she started before she stopped and dropped the glass she had been holding.

Without a second thought, she picked up the phone and dialed 911.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"I need an ambulance now!" my mother yelled at the phone.

She told the lady our address and what was going on. I didn't really catch everything she said. I was to busy trying to clean and wrap Kai's injuries. I finally finished, but I felt like I hadn't done anything. It was my fault this happened. It was my fault I didn't try harder to make Kai stay. I'm such a horrible friend. I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt a cold hand wipe my eyes softly. I looked up and felt like crying harder.

"W-what's wrong...Rei?" Kai asked, voice shaking badly.

I bit my lip and hugged him tightly. I was glad he was awake. I was glad he was alive.

"Rei? I can't...I can't breathe..." he panted quietly.

"I'm sorry." I apologized as I let him go. "Are you ok?"
"I will be if you stop crying." he answered, smiling slightly.

I nodded and wiped my eyes, forcing the tears to stop falling.

"Good." he said as he forced himself to sit up.

"Kai, lay back down." I ordered as I softly pushed him back down. My plan didn't really go according to plan. Instead of him laying back down, he leaned up and kissed my lips. I blushed lightly, but kissed him back. I felt like pouting when he pulled away and leaned his head on my shoulder.

"I was right." he whispered softly. "Your lips are soft."

I blushed deeper. "Whatever." I replied but he didn't say anything. "Kai?" I looked at him and started to panic again. His eyes were closed. "Kai?!"

"Calm down dear. He's probably just tired." my mother said, trying to calm me down.

My attention was pulled to the door as the paramedics finally arrived. They quickly, but carefully, put Kai on the stretcher and brought him to their vehicle. I climbed in with him. I wasn't going to leave him alone again. The paramedic seemed to understand and let me stay. They hooked him up to a heart monitor and some other machines. Before long, we were on our way to the hospital.
