Chapter 4

Rei opened weak, shimmering eyes. A soft whimper escaping his fat lip. He tried to pick himself up, but gave out a small cry as pain shot up side. He cringed as he stood up. Stumbling he limped to the stairs. He opened the door to his room, then and only then did he let his tears fall. He was so sick of this. He couldn't take much more of this.

Glassy eyes spotted a phone he weakly crawled over to it. He dialed the only person he could trust.

" Yes?"

"Kai…" Rei spoke weakly.

"Rei! What…where are you?" He heard the boys' weak breathing.

" Kai…Help…" Then Kai heard a,

"BOY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" and then a 'THUD' then the phone went dead.

"Rei! Rei!" Kai slammed the phone down and rushed out the door. He ran so fast he feet never touched the ground. "I coming Rei. Hold on." Kai skidded to turn he stopped and looked to a window. He saw an image of a man holding a younger boy in his grasp. He growled as the older man threw him cross the room. His eyes narrowed.

Rei shakily stood up and defiantly glared at him.

" Still being defiant I see well we'll just have to fix that." His father lifted his hand then…

'THUD' A shadow stood in front of the beaten, bruised, and bloody boy. Rei opened his eyes to see Kais scarf fall in front of him.

" Kai!" He gasped. Reis father glared at the slate haired teen.

"Don't mess with me brat! No Move!" Kai just glared at him, but gave him a smirk,

" I'll move…If you can make me." His father smiled.

" Kai…don't…" Rei whispered, tugging at the slate haired teens scarf. Kai just sideways looked at him.

" I know what I'm doing Rei. Trust me." Rei nodded.

" Kai Look out!" Kai ducked as a fist came out of now where. Kai pulled his out and tripped the older man. He feel with a,

'WHUMP'

Rei gasped as he saw his father fall face first on the floor. Rei smiled at the older teen. He had always looked up to him. He was brought out of this thought when he saw a figure sneak up on Kai.

" Kai…" Rei was muffled by a hand that was being placed roughly on his mouth. Kai was about to go over when the man behind him grabbed him from behind. Rei was struggling to get the hand off of his face. Kai was struggling to get the guys arm of his neck. Kais eyes were narrowed in sheer determination.

Rei lowered the hand from his mouth.

" Let him go! Please! Don't hurt him."

"Shut up Boy!" He roughly grabbed him by the arm. Rei softly whimpered. Kais' eyes landed on the father and growled.

" Aww! Did I upset the little hero." The father chuckled as he rammed a fist into the boys' gut. Kai didn't falter, nor did his gaze didn't leave the father. The father looked at Kai in disbelief. Kai smirked as he buried his elbow in the guys' gut. The fathers' friend released Kai. Kai landed in his feet, and looked towards the father. Kai stood up to his full height. Reis father backed up.

" You want him?" He held Rei out by the neck. " Come get him." Kai knew there was something-weird going on. He slowly made his way over to Rei. Then the father withdrew his son from Kais' reach. He then walked over to an open window and held Rei out over it.

Rei gasped as he looked at the ground. It had to be a ten-foot drop. Kai stared at the father.

" You wouldn't dare." Kai whispered. His father smirked as he slowly released Reis neck. Rei whimpered as his hands grasped his fathers' wrist.

"Father…you can't do this to me…please." Rei begged his father. His father just looked at him with utter disappointment and disgust.

" I can and I will." Reis' eyes widened. His heart beat tripled. His father wouldn't. Kai gave the father the same work that he gave Rei earlier. Reis' father glared at the slate haired boy.

" You can't look at me like that." Kai smirked,

" I suppose your going to wipe it off my face?" Kai questioned. Reis' father gave a short chuckle.

" Okay then." He released Reis' neck.

" REI! NO!" Kai threw the father out of the way and tried to grab the younger boy, but he failed.

"Rei! NO!" Kai watched as the boy came in contact with the ground. He stared at the now motion less body. Kai got enraged at this, who would do this to their son! He Turned around and glared a death glare. He stalked over to the father and with one hard smack he knocked him into the other man knocking them both out.

Kai then raced out the door and flew down the stairs. He pushed the door open. He ran over to the motion less boy. He whipped out his cell phone and dialed 911. He got the police and the medics. He then put two fingers on Reis' pulse point. He felt panic hit him; he felt a faint heartbeat.

" Why are the medics are so slow." Kai hissed. His eyes softened as they fell upon the raven-haired tiger. "Hold on Rei. Just hold on." He for the first time felt an something spring in his eyes. Tears. It surprised him, crying, him, crying. He touched his cheek. Something wet hit his finger he looked at it then he looked down at Rei again.

The sound of sirens came into his ears. "It's about time." Kai thought angrily. They loaded Rei up onto a bed and put him in the ambulance and shoved the father into a police car. Kai watched the ambulance.

" Please be okay Rei." Kai softly whispered.
