Chapter 5

Kai walked into a dimly lit room. Over by a window lay the unconscious form of Rei Kon. He sat at the bedside and looked at him. His forehead held a bandage instead of a bandana. Rei looked like he'd been through hell and back. The boy hadn't been conscious since the fall. Kai hoped he was okay.

"Come on Rei you can pull through this. I know you can." Rei lost all color; he was almost as pale as the sheets. Breathing masked helped the tiger to breathe.

"Why did you leave the room! You weren't supposed to.'" Kai buried his face in his in his hands. " This is my fault, If I wouldn't have taken my eye off you, you wouldn't be here. I can't believe I let this happen!" Kai squeezed his eyes shut.

"Why Rei, Why?'" He looked up at the tiger and gasped to see that he was looking right at him. His golden eyes were only half-open.

"It's not your fault Kai…You got me here."

" If I hadn't taken my eyes off you then you have to be here!" Rei looked at his friend surprised to see his eyes glassy. Rei looked surprised at him. Kai saw this and looked down.

"It's okay Kai…don't…"

" Don't you see! This is my fault! I left you vulnerable to…"

" Kai! Stop there isn't anything you could have done. Even if you were there."

" Yes I…"

"Kai! Stop blaming yourself. It is in the past. So stop living in it." Rei took in a ragged breath. And closed his eyes. Kai looked up at him. Rei felt eyes on him so he opened his eyes' half- way again and saw Kai giving him a puzzled look. Rei softly laughed.

" How can you just pass it off so easily?"

" I can't, it's just that I was just telling you to stop blaming yourself. I don't." Kai looked out of the window. The sky was shining brightly with stars. He let out a sigh. He couldn't understand.

Rei watched his team captain. He couldn't understand him. What would make him think that it was his fault. Rei couldn't understand him. Rei closed his eyes. He was tired. He let out a sigh. He opened his eyes and looked at his captain.

Rei tried to sit up; he flinched as a pain shot through his side. He put a hand on his captains' shoulder. Kai turned his head towards Rei. Rei weakly smiled at him.

"Don't worry about it." Kai weakly smiled at him. Kai was glad Rei didn't blame him. Kai still couldn't understand why, but he was right. If Rei didn't blame him then he shouldn't. Kai watched as the boy lay down. He couldn't understand him.

Rei let out a sigh. He slowly drifted to sleep. Kai watched the slumbering boy. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes. Kai leaned against the back of the chair. He liked Rei, but he had better not tell anyone that he came close to crying or not even the doctors would be able to help him.

~ A few weeks later ~

Rei was able to leave the hospital. He limped out of the doors and squinted as the sun hit his eyes. He blinked a few times till he could see. Rei was about to limp home when…

'Beep, beep' Rei turned his head and smiled. Black limousine was waiting. Kai was leaning against it.

"I thought you would need a ride." Rei softly chuckled. He limped over to it.

"Thanks Kai." Kai nodded.

Rei got in.

" Hey, where is this taking me."

"Since you can't live on your own yet I figured you could stay at my mansion." Rei smiled.

" What's the catch?" Kai shrugged.

" Just being nice. But you tell any one and I will make it so the doctors can't even help you." Rei laughed. Kai smirked.

" You think I'm joking?" Rei looked at him wide-eyed; it was Kai's turn to laugh.

"As long as you don't tell any one I won't harm you." Rei softly laughed.

" Don't worry, I won't tell any one you actually have a heart." Kai scoffed. Rei shook his head and shut the door to the limousine. The limousine pulled out of the hospitals' driveway and headed for the Hiwatari Mansion.

A.N.- Well there it is. The finish, or is it. Maybe, maybe not. Until the next story, Bye!
