Kai's POV

I hear the door close behind my grandfather as he leaves I lie down on the cold floor and break down into tears, I had been trying not to cry since the beginning but now that I was alone it didn't matter. I stop crying only to try and stand up, I'm eager to get out of this house and away from my grandfather. However, after a few attempts I lie back down exhausted and pained on the floor breathing heavily, I would've given anything to be back at the hotel with the others right now anywhere as long as it was a good distance from this room.

I lie on the floor saturated in my own blood as I try to think of how I was going to explain all of this to Rei. I let a small sigh escape my lips 'would he even want anything to do with me if I showed up as weak as I am now. I lie on my side and look over my beaten body in pained distaste though I figure I would be able to hide some of the cane scars under my pants; most of them were on my lower body and the ones on my back could be covered by my top. However the others even Tyson would notice.

I sigh, there would be no fooling Rei if I showed up looking like this and barely able to walk, covered in my own blood. I'm angered by my own weakness, I couldn't even stand up properly. The others will ask complicated questions which I wouldn't want to answer I know this but at some point in the near future I will have to tell Rei the full truth even if it means being seen as week in the eye's of Rei.

I can't tell how long I've been in this room or if its night or day, the study has been built in the middle of the Hiwatari Mansion and has no windows, the only light comes from the dim lamp on the desk.

All this thinking is beginning to make my head hurt even more and soon I gave into sleep as exhaustion sweeps over my body. However I'm only to be woken up in what seems like only moments later when really it has been hours. I looked up to see the butler looking down at me, his face is blank as though he's become accustomed to seeing this situation. My clothes are in one of his hands; he hands the clothes to me and leaves the room with out saying anything.

I groan as I finally manage to stand up with out falling back over and wince as I trie to pull on my pants, the fabric rubs roughly against the cuts on my legs. I stand defeated and alone in the room and decided not to even try pulling on my shirt, I cant imagine what the state of my back looks like but it still burns in pain. The room begins to blur and I put a hand to my temple, my heads throbbing again. I brace myself and luckily my vision clears, I want to get out of here now. I leave the room to find the butler standing by the door; I guess that he was waiting to escort me out of the house.

Normal POV

It was beginning to get later and Tyson was starving, for hours the gang had been wandering around the mansion trying to look through the windows but with little luck as they all had the curtains drawn tightly shut and there was no sign of Kai. Max and Kenny had been trying to convince Rei that it was time to call it a day and that Kai could of doubled back and could be waiting at the hotel for them right now.

Rei didn't want to give up searching, not now, not until he found Kai or knew where their blue haired leader had gone to but in the end he reluctantly gave in with a sigh, he shouldn't of pushed Kai to tell him about the nightmares; it was all his fault.
