Rei was sick off this and both him, Tai and Joe ran out to Kai's aid. Tai and Joe then had the hard task of pulling Matt away but they succeeded, it was a bit of a struggle at first but soon he calmed down and allowed them to lead him away from Kai. Matt was lucky he had got away with hardly any injuries, only a black eye, split lip and some cuts and bruises. Mimi ran over to him and gave him a hug; tears of relief and happiness ran down her face
"Matt I'm so glad you're alright, I love you" Mimi whispered in his ear
"I love you too Mimi," said Matt with a kiss then a smile, the same kind of smile Mimi had fallen for years ago. Matt then lay down exhausted on the grass with his heart still racing and fell asleep, Mimi sat down next to him stroking his face, she was so happy he was alright.
Rei was kneeling on the grass holding Kai close to him in his arms, Kai was in a really bad state, there were cuts and bruises all over his body, his clothes were stained with blood and his face stained with tears, but he was still breathing. 'Ok that's a good thing,' he told himself, 'I'm surprised he lasted that long' thought Rei, since when he had reached Kai he had thought him dead. Kai slowly opened his eyes and found himself in Rei's arms, he hurt all over, he looked up at Rei, tears running down his cheeks., he just wanted the pain to go away.
Rei looked down at his friends' sad eyes, he felt so sorry for him and knew Kai would also be angry with himself for losing. Rei smiled at him, Kai tried to return the smile but he couldn't find it in him, he was to full of pain and sadness, tears ran down his face he looked away and lent his head on Reis chest, closed his eyes and cried. Kai didn't care whether Rei or anyone saw him crying, he hurt to much to even try to keep it in. He also knew Rei wouldn't think any less of him and Kai also trusted that Rei wouldn't tell any of the others. He owed Rei his life he didn't mind though, Rei was his friend. Kai closed his eyes and cried until he fell asleep.
A short while later Tai came over to Rei, he was still holding Kai in his arms and a single tear ran down hi cheek. Tai could see the sadness in Reis eyes and couldn't help but feel partly responsible for his pain.
"Rei I understand if you don't want us to stay at your cave to night, I mean after what Matt did to Kai and everything." Rei looked at Tai his eye shinning,
"no its ok, you and your friends can still stay,"
"Thanks, I'm sure Matt didn't mean to hurt him so much, he was just really angry and he had been for quite some time now," Tai explained.
"Yeh I guess I understand where you're coming from," said Rei remembering all the times that Kai had got really pissed off and the events that followed.
"Lets just not talk about it for now ok" he said,
"Oh Yeh ah sure, um thanks for still letting us stay," Tai said and walked off to see Matt and the others. Rei stayed sitting there, still holding Kai who was still asleep. Clouds had been gathering in the sky over head and now the rain started to fall first lightly then it got heavier. Rei quickly got up and carried Kai into the cave.
The start of the rain had woken up Matt and he and the others ran quickly as possible to the cave so not to get drenched as it was raining down hard now. Rei sat down on the hay at the back of the cave still holding Kai in his arms.
Joe and Izzy took the job of trying to start the fire in the middle of the ground close to the back of the cave to keep everyone warm during this storm. The strong winds caused by the storm blowing outside blew sprays of rain into the cave wetting those who sat to close to the cave mouth. TK shivered as the sprays hit him, he and Kari then moved to the back of the cave and huddled together sharing each others body heat to keep warm while Joe and Izzy struggled with the fire.
After a lot of attempts of trying to start the fire Joe and Izzy finally got it going, it lighted up the cave and the sudden warmth swept over them all.
"Do you want to head off in the morning and continue to go along with our original idea?" Tai asked the group, Sora sitting in his arms. Their original idea had been to go and stay a few nights at Gennai's house while he was away.
"You and Kai can come along with us if you want?" asked Tai looking over at Rei,
"I mean you guys never know how long you'll be stuck out here for."
"Oh... um Yeh, I'm really sorry for all the pain I have caused Kai," Matt apologised,
"I guess it would probably be best if we did come, I mean you lot know more about this place than we do, oh and Matt ah just forget about it," replied Rei, he had know resentment towards Matt for what he had did and no reason to blame him, after all it was Kai who started it.
"So that's settled then, we leave tomorrow morning" said Mimi who was lying down with her head on Matts lap, he began to play with her hair.
"Well I think I'm going to get some sleep now," said Tai lying down, Sora lay down next to him, and he put his arms around her waist and kissed her gently. Joe meanwhile put more wood on the fire so it would keep them warm during the night. It continued to pour down rain and soon the thunder and lightning started up.
"Matt I'm so glad you're alright, I love you" Mimi whispered in his ear
