Rei sighed as he watched the lightning flash outside before turning his attention to Kai he was sleeping soundly in his arms, Rei gently rubbed away some of the blood that had mixed with Kai's tears from his face with his thumb. He hoped Kai would be able to carry on once the others were ready to move, looking out the cave mouth once more Rei wished that the rain would let up, it wouldn't be to fun travelling in a storm like this one. He put two of the last pieces of fire would on the fire before leaning back against the wall of the cave, he figured that he should get some sleep before the morning.
An hour or so had passed by since Rei had decided to get some sleep when a loud clap of thunder sounded directly above the cave; the storm hadn't moved. Rei slowly and unwontedly opened his eyes only to quickly shut them again after a bright flash of lightning illuminated the cave. Opening his eyes cautiously once more, Rei once again found himself in the dull darkness of the cave with the only light coming from the occasional lightning flash out side and the small but glowing embers of last nights fire.
Rei sighed disappointedly as he look out side, the weather hadn't cleared up like he wanted it to and to him It didn't look much better at all, looking around the cave Rei noticed during the occasional lightning flashes that the others were all still asleep. Looking down into his lap and seeing Kai still sleeping peacefully Rei decided not to wake the others allowing him time to get some of his energy back.
A few minutes after the time that Rei had woken up to the thunder, Mimi who was leaning against Matt's chest shuddered as the cool wind from outside woke her up. After slowly opening her eyes and adjusting to the darkness Mimi saw that, everyone else was still asleep. Looking up Mimi noticed the storm was still raging outside and it rained heavily. She then looked up at Matt, his eyes closed still sleeping before trying to get back to sleep thinking it was best she didn't wake the others unless she wanted to get wet.
Unfortunately for Rei and Mimi the next person to wake up was Tai, slowly waking up and rubbing his eyes he looked out the cave mouth to see the storm still going hard, 'just great' he thought, 'how was he going to get them to go out in weather like this'. Sighing Tai sat up and threw the remaining wood on the fire before leaning back against the cave wall watching Sora sleep peacefully on the caves floor.
The thunder sounded loudly overhead as Tai watched the rain falling from the sky outside before a bright flash of lightning lit up the cave attracting Tai's attention to Matt who was sitting up and looking at him.
"Oh hey Matt how long have you been up?" Tai asked,
"not long, thunder woke me" he replied before shifting Mimi in his lap.
"Your not going to wake everyone up and tell them we're going out in this are you?" Matt asked Tai questioningly, Tai shook his head
"not now maybe later if the storm dies down though if we don't its about to get very cold, that's the last of the fire wood you know" Tai told Matt indicating to the flaming logs on the fire.
A few minuets passed by turning into an hour before Tai looked out side the cave once more, the storm hadn't stoped but it hard calmed down quite a bit. After a few more minutes of sitting around doing nothing particular Tai and Matt decided that this was probably as good as it was going to get so they might as well get everyone up.
Getting everyone up sounded simpler than it really was, Sora got up alright though Kari and TK were another story all together though Mimi was the worst, she really didn't want to go out into the rain and refused to get up. In the end Matt picked her up into his arms knowing that he wasn't going to get her to go out there willingly as he didn't even want to go, he just knew they had no real other choice.
Kari sighed stretching out and yawning next to TK on the floor of the cave before they both stood up after having Tai shaking them awake. Tai looked over to where Rei was to see him and Izzy already awake even Kai was nearly awake. While Tai and the others talked to Izzy about where they were going Rei looked down at Kai who looked so cute as he slowly opened his eyes to gaze up at Rei.
Rei smiled at Kai before looking out the cave entrance at the rain that was silently falling from the sky outside, it hadn't cleared up but it was better then the last to he had seen it so he didn't mind. Kai now fully awake tried to get up but Rei held him back,
"Kai your not well enough to walk through this," he said his concern easily showing in his voice, Kai know he was still pretty weak but he didn't want to be a burden to Rei anymore.
Kai tried to get up and managed though had to lean on the wall for balance only proving Rei's point, Kai felt Rei pick him up and looked up to see him smiling down at him,
"I don't mind carrying you" Rei said before moving to join the others. Once Tai and Izzy were sure they know where they were going, they headed out into the rain and through the forest.
