Disclaimer: I own none of the characters.

I apologize for my lack of updates. I've been sick all week and haven't been near the computer. But its now Christmas vacation!! Perfect time to UPDATE, savvy? You guys agree right? Free time = UPDATE, and I will have a lot more frequent UPDATES!

This is going to be a short chapter, seeing as I'm still on medication, and can't stay around machines for a long period of time. The truth.

Anyway enjoy! ************************************************* ************************************************* An unlimited rage burned through Tala as he stalked down the streets. His mission: to eliminate Lee. The bastard deserved what ever Tala was going to do to him. While walking down the street in his own insane world, Tala thought about tying Lee up and getting an audience as well. He figured Kai would like the show and maybe participate; also the rest of the Demolition Boys would probably enjoy watching; their thirst for violence rushing through them at the sight of a helpless bloody lion. The thought of going to get Rei, and bring him also was suggested in his mind but he thought Rather then spoil the fun and have to share his prey, Tala decided to do it on his own. One could satisfy his thirst for vengeance better alone.

"I will find you Lee. If I have to travel to the ends of this pathetic earth I will. And you will die by my hand." Tala said with an evil grin and look on his face. He slowly started to laugh to himself plotting Lee's death. At the sight of Tala's insane look, people who were walking on the street quickly got out of his way. Muttering could be heard which sounded like, " knew he wouldn't change" and " he probably was the one to hurt that poor friend of his", though they words were never heard by Tala. Tala himself was no longer in control of his mind. Whatever was controlling him led him to where the bastard was. It knew where Lee was, even though no one else knew. Red hair flamed, blue eyes cold as the coldest depths of the arctic, muscles powered up and ready to be used, along with the silver dagger under his shirt, Tala stalked out to get his prey.

Back at the hospital..

A lone figure walked into the hospital. Clad in dark clothing, and sunglasses, which hid its eyes, the figure had a mysterious and suspicious aura to it. Walking up to the reception's desk, the figure slammed his hand down on the counter to get the receptionist's attention. Frightening her a bit, she looked at the figure before saying, " May I help you sir?" The man did not talk for a few moments. The receptionist was going to ask again when he spoke. " I need the room for Rei Kon." "Kon? Just a minute." She quickly scanned the computer files. "Oh the guy that was attacked a while ago. He's on the second floor room 213. Security is tight up there, so you'll need someone to go.." She looked back up, but the guy wasn't there anymore. Leaning over the desk she looked down the hallway. The guy seemed to have just disappeared. Picking up the phone she called the upstairs desk.

In Rei's room..

Rei lay unconscious on the hospital bed, covered in white sheets. Slowly he began to awake. His fingers began to flex and grab the white sheets tightly. Groaning, the neko-jin slowly opened his eyes adjusting to the light in the room. As soon as he opened them pain shot through his head. He had a headache from being knocked unconscious, though this didn't come to mind. He figured it was from the pain. Slowly and very painfully he sat up, pushing himself up with his hands. Tiredly he lifted his head up and scanned the room. He knew something was missing, but what was it? 'What's wrong with this picture' he thought. He checked his wounds. 'Nope, they're bandaged'. He lifted the sheet. 'No missing limbs, and hey I got shorts. No gown for me.' Laughing slightly at his little humour he put the sheet down, and looked around the room. Then it hit him. Tala! Rei was now getting scared that Tala wasn't there. Last time he was alone Lee came back. Clutching the sheet closer to him he shrunk back in fear when the doorknob began to turn. He surpressed a yell, when he saw who had entered. He was unable to speak at the moment. The guy walked in and closed the door. Rei, finally finding his voice spoke the figure's name.

"Kai!" Kai, the now named figure rushed over to Rei's side. "Rei, are you all right? I can't believe what happened." Said Kai in that brotherly tone that Rei seemed to have forgotten. Slowly tears began to form in Rei's gilt eyes and he bowed his head. Kai pulled Rei into an embrace, slowing running a hand up and down Rei's hand trying to calm him down, but also to be careful of the wounds. "Kai, how could Lee do this to me? I trusted him with my life." Cried Rei into Kai's chest. "Looks can be deceiving. Maybe it was that trust that got him as far as he did." Kai said.

They sat like that for a few moments before Rei pulled away. Rei looked at Kai with a confused look on his face. "How'd you find out I was here? And how did you get in? And what are you doing here?" Rei asked getting all the questions out. Kai only starred at Rei, shocked at the mood swing his friend was having. Gathering his thoughts he answered Rei. " Firstly Tala called me. Said that it was important that I get here. Secondly, I got in the normal way; bypassing a few idiots who thought it would be nice to stand at the end of the hallways and near your door, and thirdly I came because I can." Said Kai. Rei narrowed his eyes in thought, until he realized that, " So they don't know you're in here. Which means that they might think that you're going to harm me." "No they now I'm here, they just don't know who or why I'm here."

Rei only smirked at Kai's answer and rested against Kai's shoulder. Realization hit him. "Kai do you know where Tala is?" " No I thought he would be here. He'd never leave you." Kai said worried that something was amiss. ' Tala you fucking idiot. What have you done now?"
