I am so sorry this has taken so long! I've had so much stuff going on that i didn't have time! Then when i finally had the time my computer was confiscated untill i could "Clean up my act" Pa. But, here is chapter 8!
Rei: Yay!
Kai: Why do i get the feeling i'm not going to like this?
Hehehe...
Medics surrounded Kai and Rei.
"Sir, please move, we need to help your friend."
Kai stayed frozen to the spot with fear. He stared at his Rei, so weak and fragile. He felt strong arms around him pulling him away from Rei as the paramedics began to work on him. Kai was still on the floor, shaking with fear. He felt a tear fall down his cheek, and for once in his life, he didn't care. He dropped the stone cold persona that everyone had become so use to and just cried. He cried in fear for Rei, his Kitten, he cried in anger at himself for not helping him and he cried for the first love in his life that he might have now lost forever.
Someone pulled Kai into a tight hug and held him while he wept for what felt like hours.
"Kai," the person said, "we should go to the hospital and meet Rei."
Kai looked up and found Tyson pulling him into the standing position and guiding him towards the bus.
They sat in silence the whole journey but the atmosphere was thick with fear. Tyson still had his arm wrapped tightly around Kai's shoulders, scared that at any minute their leader was going to break down again. He was still shaking and every now and then another tear would roll down his cheek. Tyson was not use to seeing emotions from Kai, who usually was ice cold.
"Kai, he's going to be ok." Tyson tried to comfort him.
"You don't know that!" Kai said, his voice hysterical.
"No, I don't, but I do know Rei, and he isn't going to give up."
A small smile crossed Kai's lips, "You're right, he's a stubborn little thing."
Tyson gave a small laugh, "You got that right. Remember when the oven broke? He insisted on fixing it himself even though he knew nothing about it."
"Yeah, and he set fire to the kitchen and minorly electrocuted himself…twice."
"But you know what? He fixed it. Even though it looked bleak, he did it. He'll do the same here." Tyson said.
"I really hope so."
Tyson squeezed Kai's shoulder before moving his arm, he no longer feared a breakdown.
"Hey Tyson."
"Yes Kai?"
"You're alright, you know that?"
Tyson laughed, "Thanks Kai, you're not to bad yourself, when your not being an emotionless ass."
Kai gave a half smile then turned his gaze out the window.
"We're here." He said, standing up and practically running off the bus.
The rest of the team followed him inside.
"Excuse me." Kai said to the receptionist.
"Hello pumpkin, what can I do for you?"
Kai resisted the need to roll his eyes, "I'm here to see Rei."
"Rei? Rei who? Oh, the patient they just brought in! I'm sorry love, you're going to have to wait in the waiting room, he's in the ICU right now and the doctors are working on him."
The ICU? Kai's mind raced with that piece of information, people only went there when they were seriously ill…and they didn't always come back. Kai felt dizzy from worry.
"You don't look good doll, why don't you just go and sit down."
By now the rest of the team had caught up with Kai. Tyson wrapped his arm around Kai's waist as his legs looked like they were going to buckle from beneath him at any moment. They led Kai to the waiting area and they all sat down. This was going to be a long wait.
Rei: I wasn't even in this chapter! D':
Sorry!
Kai: Knew i wasn't gonna like this.
Rei: It's not that bad! Everyone got to see your softer side!
Kai: I have no softer side.
Rei: Yeah yeah yeah.
R&R!
