Hey guys! I know I said I would have this a little earlier but, I was busy. Doing what? I don't remember, but it was important at the time! Well, with no further delay here it is! The finale chapter in Me My Rescuer!
Medical Terms
Me
Confusion
It felt like I was so heavy. I couldn't move. Why can't I move? I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't, they felt like they weighed a ton. I heard faint whispers. I concentrated so I could hear what they were saying.
"You should go. I'll stay-"
"No. I'm not leaving. It's my fault he's like this, I'm not moving until he wakes up."
"But Kai, you haven't slept in-"
"I don't care." I felt pressure on my hand. What's going on?
Someone sighed. "Okay, well me and the gang are going to be in the cafeteria." I heard a door open then close. And it was silent. I felt something brush against my cheek.
"I'm so sorry."
Kai? What's he talking about? I tried to move again. But still I couldn't. I tired to open my eyes. I need to wake up now. I have to. I have to see Kai. "K-kai?" I whispered and then finally I managed to open my eyes.
"Ray!" he jumped up from his seat, that was next to my bed. I looked up at his face, he was a reck, he looked like he hadn't slept in days. "Oh god Ray! It's all my fault" he looked down at my body, tears in his eyes. "If I hadn't said those things you wouldn't be like this."
"Wait. What are you talking about? Like what?" I said with a hoarse voice. I tried to sit up but fell back in pain. I gasped as I remembered what happened. Me running away, the gang, Kai. My eyes widened.
"Are you alright!?" I asked.
He looked at me in disbelief, then chuckled as he shook his head.. "Same old Ray. Caring about everyone but yourself." he rubbed my cheek with his thumb. "I'm sorry." he whispered.
I shook my head slowly. "Why are you apologising? You saved my life! If you hadn't been there, then who knows what would have happened!"
"I know but-"
"No buts! You saved me and that's final."
His hand still at my cheek he whispered, "I'm glad you listened to me."
I was going to ask him what he was talking about when he leaned down slowly and lightly pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened in surprise. He broke the kiss and pressed his forehead against mine. "I love you." I felt my face grow hot, it must look like a tomato, because Kai smiled. "You're cute when you blush." well, that just made me blush even more!
"D-do y-you really mean t-that?" I asked disbelievingly.
"I do. I have for a long time now. I didn't tell you because I thought you only saw me as a friend and I didn't even know if you were gay or not." I laughed slightly, he looked at me confused.
"Sorry, it's just that's those are the same reasons why I didn't tell you before!"
"Tell me what?"
"That I love you too!" we both smiled at each other, then I brought my lips to his.
"Kai, are you sure- oh my god! Ray! Your awake!" our lips parted as Kai stepped back so I could see who was at the door. Tyson ran to the opposite side of the bed as Kai. "S-so how do you feel?"
"Fine I guess," I looked up beside my bed were a clear bag with fluid inside it hung. "But that might be just be because of the morphine."
he nodded silently looking at me the whole time. "I'm going to go get the rest of the guys, there going to wanna see you." he went to leave.
"Get the doctor on your way back." Kai said.
"Okay." he said as he left. I looked back at Kai and I couldn't stop my lips from smiling. This was the happiest moment of my life! (It would be happier if I didn't have a hole in my chest!) He loved me! I wanted to scream it to the heavens!
'I told you everything would turn out right in the end.' the voice whispered to me.
'No you didn't!' I told it.
'I didn't?'
'No! You didn't!'
'oops, well I was supposed to.'
"Oh thanks." I said sarcastically.
"Thanks for what?" Kai asked.
I blushed. "Never mind," he looked confused but didn't ask, instead he intertwined our fingers together.
The door banged open and Mariah jumped on me. I gasped when she landed on me chest. "Oh Ray! I thought you were going to die! I'm so glad you're alright!"
Kai grabbed her by the waist and threw her on the ground. "Are you fucking stupid or something?" he growled down at her, as I greeted my teeth together. Holy crap did that hurt! Kai didn't wait for an answer, instead he turned to me grabbing my hand. "Are you alright?"
I nodded my head as Max walked in with his hands clasped together, it looked like he had been crying. I smiled at him "Hey there Maxie." as soon as I spoke he burst into tears and ran forwards and gave me a gentle hug. Kai glared at him but I waved him off and hugged Max back. Max's hug only hurt a little. "It's okay Max! I'm alright!"
"I" Hic "was" hic "so" hic "worried!"
"But I'm okay now, see?" he pulled back and I smiled at him. I grabbed a tissue from the tissue box next to my bed and handed it to him. He wiped his eyes and blew his nose. He stepped back.
"Hey there Ray." Lee came up and patted me on my shoulder. Which made me wince. WHY IS EVERYONE HURTING ME!
"Hey Ray" I looked at the foot of my bed when Tala and Bryan approached it. They were holding hands, Bryan looked like the only reason why he was here was because of Tala. Tala on the other hand was looking a Kai, then at me, then at our hands clasped together, he did this several times.
"I knew my plan would work!" He said cheerfully. Everyone looked at him.
"You planned on me over hearing there conversation?" Kai said eyebrow raised.
"Well no, but-"
"You planned on him almost getting raped?"
"Well no! But-"
"You planned on him getting stabbed?"
"Well no! But!"
"Then it wasn't your plan." Kai smirked triumphantly. I merely giggled.
Tala was going to comment but was cut off as Tyson strolled in with the doctor behind him.
"Hello Mr. Kon. I'm Dr. Greene (1) and I was working on you when you came into the ER and I assisted on your surgery." Dr. Greene was tall and balding, he had glasses perched on his nose. I giggled silently to myself. Dr. Greene was wearing green scrubs. Hehehe. Wait did he say I had, had surgery?! "You gave us quite a scare."
"I-I did?"
He nodded. "We lost your pulse for a second there."
My eye twitched. "I DIED!!"
"I told you he would react this way." I heard Tyson whisper to Max, who was huddled next to him. Kai sent a glared his way.
"Well, technically yes but-" Dr. Greene said.
"I DIED!!" I whaled.
"Technically, but we-"
"Oh my god! I freaking died!!!"
"RAY!" Everyone shouted except Dr. Greene who watched in silence.
"What?"
"Will you let the Doctor explain?" Hilary said. Wait, when the heck did she get here?!
"Sorry."
He smiled. "It's okay, now like I was saying. Yes we did loose your pulse, but we used the defibrillator to re-start your heart."
"You used the what now?" I asked.
"It's the thing that they take in there hands like this." Max grabbed both tissue boxes and placed them on Kenny's chest. "Then they go CLEAR!" he jolted Kenny, who fell over. He looked down at him "oops, sorry man."
"Oh." I said.
"Um, yes." Dr. Greene looked confused. "Anyways, you were actually pretty lucky."
"You call getting stabbed lucky!" I said, trying to get up. Bad idea. "Ow!" I said then fell back down.
"Ray don't try and get up." Kai said. I nodded my head and looked back at the doctor.
"When I say you're pretty lucky, I mean your pretty lucky to be alive. When you were stabbed it tore your aorta slightly."
"My awata?" I hate medical terms!
"The aorta is the largest artery in your body, and it carries oxygen-rich blood pumped out of, or away from, your heart. Your aorta runs through your chest, where it is called the thoracic aorta. When it reaches your abdomen, it is called the abdominal aorta. The abdominal aorta supplies blood to the lower part of the body. In the abdomen, just below the navel, the aorta splits into two branches, called the iliac arteries, which carry blood into each leg."
"Oh" I nodded.
"You don't get it do you?" Dr. Greene asked.
I shook my head.
He sighed. "Let's just say if that gets cut, you most likely will die."
"Oh. Wait, if what you say is true than how am I still alive?" don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or anything, I'm just curious.
"Well, we're not entirely sure. But we think it has something to do with you being a neko-jin. Your immune system is stranger than that of a normal human's. I bet your recovery time would be much less than the average human's."
"Sweet! I'm like superman!"
Kai hit his forehead with his hand as everyone else sweat dropped.
"Um, sure?" Dr. Greene said. "Anyways. Even though you're a neko-jin you still need your rest. Therefor everyone must leave."
Everyone nodded and said there good byes then left. Kai went to pull his hand out of mine but I held on. " can you stay? I d-don't like hospitals." I looked over at the doctor and gave him my best cat eyes. "Please?"
He sighed and nodded. "As long as you sleep, if the nurse comes in and you're not sleeping then Mr. Hiwatari must leave."
We both nodded and he left. Kai sat back down and I looked under my hospital gown at my chest. All there was, was bandages. No blood. That was a good sigh, right? I felt Kai squeeze my hand and I looked up at him.
"Come on, you need to sleep."
"By the looks of it, you do too."
"I'll be fine." he ran a hand threw his hair.
I rolled my eyes and scooted over a little then patted the space I had made.
Kai sighed, then climbed in bed next to me and gingerly pulled me close. I rested my head on his chest and he rested his and mine. He inhaled deeply and started stroking my hair. Which made me purr. I closed my eyes and listened to the steady beating of his heart. Then sleep took over.

"Ray?" I felt something shake my shoulder. "Ray. Come on. You have to get up now."
"Why?" I whined.
"Because if you don't Tyson will die of anticipation."
" I don't care, let him die, I wanna sleep."
"Aw! But Ray! Please get up!" Tyson said.
I opened my eyes and looked at Tyson who had my bed sheets clutched tightly in his hands. I reached over and gently pulled the sheets out of his hands then wrapped myself with them and closed my eyes. My head rustled up and down as Kai laughed. I opened my eyes again and looked up at him. " I would appreciate it if my pillow didn't move while I was trying to sleep."
"Well that's too bad, because it's time to get up." Kai gently lifted me up so we were both in a sitting position. I was waiting for he pain to come, bu it never did. Oh thank god!
"But whyy? I'm so tired!"
"Ray, you've been sleeping for about 16 hours, how much more tired can you get?" Tyson said, "And besides! Who would want to sleep during Christmas?!"
I've been sleeping for 16 hours?! Holy crap! "Wait did you say it was Christmas?"
"Yes!" Max said happily pointing. I looked at what he was pointing to. I gasped. "How the heck did you get that in here?!" a Christmas tree stood in the corner of the room, with a bunch of presents underneath it.
"We have our ways." said Kai.
"You guys didn't have to do that!"
"What are you talking about? Of course we did! We can't have Christmas as a team without our favourite Neko-jin!" Max said happily.
I smiled at them. "Thanks guys, this means a lot. Wait, where's Hilary, Lee, MAriah, Tala and Bryan?"
"Well, Hilary is with her parents, Lee and Mariah went back home and Tala and Bryan are at the house for some alone time." Tyson said. My eye had a spasm. Those guys are way too horny for there own good. "Wait! I don't have your presents!"
"Don't worry! We brought them!" Max grinned.
"How?! I hid them! And they weren't wrapped!"
"Ya I know! I wrapped them for you."
"Max, your present was in there too."
"I know. Thanks for the sweater by the way." he smiled at me. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
***
In all I had gotten two presents from my team. Tyson had gotten me the new harry potter movie and Max had gotten me a new wrap for my hair. Kai waited till they both went to the cafeteria. He curled me up nicely in his lap and handed me a small box wrapped in silver paper.
"Before I open this, will you open mine?" I asked him.
"Sure." he smiled. I looked at the box that was at the end if the bed and glared at it. Why did it have to be so far away? I raised my hand and reached for it. Dammit! Here's another reason that I wished the force was real!
"Grr!" Kai laughed at my frustration. He picked me up in his arms and placed me on the bed, then crawled over and got the present. When he sat back down next to me he brought it to his ear and shook it. "Don't do that!" I pushed his hand down.
He smiled again. "Why not?"
"Because I don't want you to try and guess!"
"Fine then." he ripped off the wrapping paper. A blank box was now in his hands, he opened the box and gasped slightly. He pulled out a crimson scarf.
"It was the same colour of your eyes, so I thought I'd get it for you." I looked down at my hands as I spoke, my face red the whole time. He placed his hand on my chin then lifted it up so I was looking in his eyes.
"It's beautiful. Thank you." he said then kissed me softly. He wrapped it around his neck. Holy crap he looked hot! "Come on, your turn." he handed me the silver package again. I ripped off the paper then inhaled deeply. I opened the box to reveal a heart shaped locket. It was silver and had a tiger and a phoenix intertwined together on the front. I looked up at Kai, who was smiling at me. "Open it." he whispered. I did as he asked then gasped. Inside was Chinese writing.
"Our love will always burn." I read. I looked up at him. "I love it." his lips turned up into another smile. God, I love it when he smiled. He got up and walked behind me. He grabbed my braided hair and placed it over my shoulder. Gently he took the locket from my hand then hooked it around my neck.
"As long as you wear this, I will always know that you love me." I was going to turn around and look at him but he surprised me by picking me up in his arms. He kissed me again, but this time was more passionate then any other time. I could sooooo get used to this!
*HeArT*
THE END!
I can't belive it's done! It's really done! It's-
Ray: Hey! Ella! It's not done!
Ella: what? What do you mean, you lived, its all done!
Kai: no it's not. You remember that other thing you wanted to write?
Ella: other thing? Hmmmm. Oh yes! Thanks for reminding me!
Ray: *sigh* what would she do without us?
Kai: probably be sane and not a total dork.
Ella: HEY! D= its true =( anyways.....
I REALLY hope you guys understood when Kai said I'm glad you listened to me, he meant when Ray was bleeding and dying in his hands telling him not to die. And he didn't. So it's like he listened to him. If you got it, good for you! And sorry you had to read that. If you didn't get it. NOW YOU KNOW!
(1) Dr. Greene was from the show ER. He died in the 8th season! IT WAS SO UPSETTING! I cried for like EVER! He was my favourite character! One of his daughter's names was Ella!!! =D and I know, he wasn't a surgeon, but I didn't want to bring in another doctor to explain to him what happened.
