It's Just So Hard, Saying Goodbye
Hey all! Well, I decided another quick update wouldn't hurt anyone ((well, maybe Rei ^_~)). Everyone still with me this far?
Tyson: *yawning* no. . .
Sam: Quiet you! And as it seems, the songs don't matter to anyone, so all the less work for me! ^_^;. And by the way, I was also thinking of starting a new story, seeing as this one is almost finished. What'cha guys ((or girls)) think? Anyway, on with the story!

Kai was feeling really upset over Rei's sudden flat line. Sure, the doctors were able to get him back, but that wasn't the point. It was the fact he had put Rei in the hospital in the first place! As Max had said, it was his entire fault, and now, that guilt was starting to get to him.
It was the day after Rei's attack, and Kai lay in his hospital bed. The doctors had told him yesterday that he was free to go, but Kai had asked if he could stay the extra night. The physicians were slightly confused, but decided it was best they didn't argue. It didn't really seem to matter much to Kai anyway, he didn't sleep a wink.
"Hey buddy," Tyson stated, walking into the room early the next morning with some sort of bag. The older blader narrowed his eyes in Tyson's direction, but said nothing. Since when did Tyson call him 'buddy' anyway? Tyson smiled happily, and held up the bag he was carrying. After a quick inspection, he noted it was slightly stained, and seemed to have a whimsical smell coming from it.
"We brought you back an early lunch!" Max said, walking into the room with a giant grin on his face. Kai raised a brow.
"Right, whatever." He slurred in response, crossing his arms and sitting himself up. He hadn't eaten much for about three days now, and with the way things were going, he wasn't about to have a feast either.
"It's a yummy turkey sandwich!" Tyson said, taking it out of the bag and handing it over to Kai. It was dripping in it's own filth, which made Kai feel like throwing up. He could even feel his stomach churning.
"Okay, now that's just gross!" he stating, pushing it away with a look of disgust on his face. "I'd rather eat airline food."
"Oh c'mon Kai! Be nice!" Tyson said, shrugging and taking a huge bite of the unwanted sandwich. The slate-haired teen shuddered lightly.
"I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter . . ." He growled, eyeing his teammate vengefully.
"Hey guys, Rei's awake!" Kenny cried, running into the room and practically knocking Max over. Tyson almost choked on a piece of oily meat. Then, without another word spoken, Tyson, Kenny, and Max left the room; leaving Kai huffing on his hospital bed.
He looked up, figuring that he'd wait until later to speak with Rei. He didn't feel like thanking him in front of everyone else anyway. Grumbling, he shut his eyes, in hopes to get at least a little bit of sleep. Luckily for him, he was able to sneak in a good half-hour of rest.
~~*~~*~~*~~
He opened his crimson eyes, looking around the room while stretching. The other bladers weren't there; perhaps being more concerned about Rei. After all, they had a right to be. He raised himself out of the little bed, standing up against the pain in his foot (he refused to use the crutches the doctors had given him). Slowly but surely, he made his way out into the hallway, finding that it wasn't too hard to keep himself balanced. He glanced around cautiously, but to his surprise no one was around. No annoying visitors, no doctors, nothing. He blinked, but then merely shrugged and continued on his way. After all, Kai was starting to get bored of his little room.
He found himself wandering around Rei's part of the hospital. He still hadn't seen anyone (or heard anyone for that matter), but figured it was nothing. Taking a deep breath and hoping no one was inside, he pushed open the double doors, desiring to engage in a conversation with the debilitated Rei.
"Rei, look, we have to talk . . ." Kai started, but he didn't get the chance to finish. Upon further inspection, he had found Rei was lying with closed eyes on the bed. Oddly, he didn't seem to be breathing. Raising a brow, Kai pushed himself closer.
"Ummm . . .Rei?" he asked, leaning over the other teen gingerly. But the raven-haired blader remained silent and motionless. Kai began wondering if he should go consult a physician about his friend's condition. But without even getting much of a chance to think about it, Rei's body began shaking like crazy again. Our Phoenix gritted his teeth, placing his hand on his friend's seizure-prone body. "Dammit, don't do this to me again!" He shouted, ready to smack his aggravated teammate once more. But before he got the chance to, Rei suddenly jerked forward, spitting out a whack of blood. It landed mainly on Kai's top, but some of it managed to make its way onto the side of his face. The Phoenix winced, but didn't let it get to him. His friend was more important. But upon looking back down at his friend's face, he noticed instantly that he was awake (but still in a seizure-like state).
"It's . . .all . . .your fault . . ." the Tiger spat out, a slight amount of blood dribbling down the side of his face. Kai's eyes widened. It was all he could do. "You . . .it's all because . . .of you . . ."
These words seemed to echo through the slate-haired teen's head, making him let go of Rei's shirt and slamming his eyes shut. His cold reality surrounded him again, which made him feel like he was suffering from insanity. He squinted an eye open, only to find that everything was dark and foggy. "This . . .is just a dream . . .," he said to himself, dropping his hands and opening his eyes fully. "I don't want to be here. I don't want to think like this. Is this the emotion they call guilt? I've never - felt this way before." And with that note, everything disappeared.
~~*~~*~~*~~
Kai sat straight up in bed. Sweat was pouring from the side of his face, and his heart was racing faster than usual. He had had enough. No more dreams, no more visions or daydreams, no more nothing! He was pissed right off. Ripping off his tannish bed sheets, he stood himself up, once and for all going to tell Rei exactly how he felt; no matter what the consequences.
~~*~~*~~*~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
Well, this is it. The big moment. Kai's about to confess his feelings for Rei. What do you think's gonna happen? Do you even care what happens? *Blinks* Well, let's hope you do. I mean, if you don't care, why would you still be reading-
Kai: Why don't you just stop there? You're only making them not want to read anymore.
Sam: O.o! Me? Oh . . .okay. . .well, please review. It means the world to me when you guys ((or girls)) review. Don't forget to tell me if you want me to start another fic as well. Feel free to give me ideas for it too! ^_^; Thanks a bunch!
