Losing My Religion
Sam here! *Sniffles and wipes away an imaginary tear* Wow, you guys are the greatest! Thank you so much for the great reviews! Well, about this chapter, the song is 'Losing My Religion' by REM, and I promise that this chapter will have more song lyrics in it ^-^;;. And, might I add, you guys stole my idea! I was gonna have . . . something happen in the first place anyway! Ahem, well, before I spoil the whole story, I'd better let you start reading it.
Kenny: Be sure to do the disclaimer!
Sam: You love tormenting me, don't you?
Kenny: It depends on the day of the week. . .all the ones that end with the word 'day' in it.
Sam: O.o;; *grumbles* I do not own Beyblade, nor any of the characters. If you want to argue, then 'no dolla for you!'. And besides, why would you want to sue me? I'm cheap, and besides that, I'm broke!

((The lengths that I would go to, the distance in your eyes. . . oh no I've said too much. . .))
His eyes grew wide at the sight of the on-coming car. He was extremely upset about everything, but not enough to allow himself to be killed! Unfortunately, his legs wouldn't agree with him on this one. They refused to budge from their spot, although he was trying. He was about to give up hope, when that spectrum of light in his life suddenly appeared.
"Kai, get out of the way!" Rei yelled. He had run after Kai, in case a situation like this had arisen. However, all of this happened before he got the chance to even think twice about it. He ran onto the street, in front of the screeching vehicle. Gritting his teeth sternly, he extended his arms forward and pushed Kai as hard as his strength would let him. Because of this push, Kai luckily, wasn't the one hit by the red car. Rei, however, wasn't so fortunate.
The force of the push had sent Kai flying. He fell safely on the opposite side of the road, but hit his head hard on the curb. He was somewhat scratched up, but the knock to the head was enough to knock him out cold. But just before he gave into the sleep, he heard the screeching tires finally come to a stop. Then, after giving into the pain, he closed his eyes. He lay motionless on the side of the street.
((Trying to keep an eye on you; Like a hurt lost and blinded fool))
The car had finally stopped, but only when it was too late. It had hit Rei, and with full force as well. He felt himself go flying backward, feeling something like a rag doll. "Why did I do that? I don't understand . . ." he found himself thinking as he sailed hopelessly through the screaming air. Finally, he hit the ground, but not for long. His head was the first thing to come into contact with the street. It slammed into the pavement mercilessly, then it made him bounce somewhat upwards again. The force, obviously, had knocked him out. But luckily for him, he felt little pain. His body continued to get thrown around helplessly, however. His shoulder skidded the pavement next, followed by his back, then finally the rest of him, coming to a stop somewhere twenty feet away.
Tyson, Max, and Kenny were standing at the doorway to the restaurant the entire time. They witnessed all of this happen, and at the moment, they could do nothing but stare in shock. Finally, Max (still covered in spaghetti sauce from the earlier incident) began running over to the fallen 'hero'. Tyson and Kenny soon caught on, and mirrored Max's moves.
"Rei!!" he cried, dropping to his knees by the raven-haired teen. He had noticed indefinitely that his shoulder was out of place. His blood had formed something like a puddle around him, and his white outfit was both torn and stained with red. By the looks of it too, he wasn't breathing.
"What about Kai?" Kenny suddenly asked, standing up and looking over to where the other motionless teen lay.
"I'll go check it out!" Tyson said, getting to his feet and running over in Kai's direction. A sudden thought, however, struck him. "Grr! Someone call an ambulance!" he shouted, waving his gloved-hand through the air. The rest went by as a blur to everyone . . . (a/n: Well, it obviously didn't go by as a blur, but I just wanted to skip the rest of that part for sensible reasons. Basically the ambulance comes, picks both Kai and Rei up, and takes them to the hospital. Simple, yet obvious, no?)
((Consider this the hint of the century, Consider this-the slip; that brought me to my knees-failed! What if all these fantasies come flailing around? Now I've said too much . . .))
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~ *(At the hospital)*
Kai opened his eyes slowly. But man, did it ever hurt to do so! He found himself somewhere strange. He was lying in a bed, and instantly noticed the few bandages wrapped around his arms. He suddenly frowned, remembering what had happened earlier.
"Dammit Rei! What the hell were you thinking, pushing me out of the way like that?!" He shouted at the nothingness in his little room. Trying to get himself up, he found that he was unable to do so. I sharp pain ran through both his head and his foot as he sat up.
"Ah! Damn!" He cried, but still refusing to lie back down. He lifted up the blankets, revealing a small cast wrapped around his ankle. He must have broken it when he hit the ground earlier. He merely shrugged, and just as he was about to climb out of bed and stand himself up properly, the door went flying open, and in popped Tyson.
"Hey guys, he's awake!" he said as he turned his head back to the hallway, perhaps talking to Max and Kenny. Then, sure enough, Max and the Chief came trotting into the room, but surprisingly, they weren't smiling. "Nice job, loser," Tyson said, walking up to his bed and glaring. "You landed Rei in intensive care! I hope you're happy with yourself." Max and Kenny only nodded.
((That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight, Losing my religion. Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it . . .))
"Intensive...care?" he asked like he wasn't sure of what they were talking about. He knew what it was, sure, but his brain was finding it hard to register. "How is he? Is he really that bad?" He finally managed to say.
"That bad? THAT BAD!? Kai, he might not make it!" Max said, his clothes being freshly changed. His eyes were also partially bloodshot, meaning he had been crying. But Kai simply gritted his teeth, lifting himself out of his bed and setting himself on the floor. He was in great pain, and was even a little dizzy, but he didn't let that stop him. He had to see Rei, no matter what the cost.
"What do you think you're doing, Kai? Get yourself back into bed this instant!" Kenny said, raising his finger and pointing towards the tan- covered bed. But Kai just ignored him, like he usually always did. Dragging his foot along, fighting back the pain, he made his way through the hospital, occasionally stopping to ask for directions to Rei's room. A few of the doctors looked at him curiously, but merely shrugged and showed him the way.
He slowly pushed open the double doors, drinking in every sight, smell, and sound that came his way. No one was in the room, but by the looks of all the equipment, Rei's condition spoke for itself. Holding back the urge to break down, he slowly made his way over to his friend's bedside.
"Dammit Rei, I don't understand you!" Kai shouted, looking down at his face's battered face. "Why the hell would you do that? I just don't . . .understand. Do you . . .feel the same way I do? Huh? Do you?" he yelled, perhaps waiting for an answer. Oh, he got an answer all right, but not one that he wanted.
((I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing, I think I thought I saw you try . . .))
The machines Rei was attached to starting beeping oddly. They were starting to go haywire. He looked back down at Rei's face, and found that it had now been twisted, looking as though he was in great pain.
Suddenly, Rei's eyes shot open. He also let out a loud gasp. Kai immediately started panicking. Was Rei alive, or was this a sign . . .of death?

Well, another chapter down. Hope you like. Again, I'm letting you guys decide on what happens to Rei. Do you want the poor guy to live, or would you rather him be, 'put out of his misery'? Please R&R, the future of Rei is up to you! Remember NO FLAMES!
