Two days later Tyson, Max, Kenny, Rei and Kai were supposed to all be training except Rei never showed up. "I heard he didn't go to school yesterday either." Kenny said. "I'm worried about him. "Hey, the dudes probably just sick, that's all guys. Chill. Now are we going to get this training session going or what?" Tyson asked. Max pulled out his blade as the two had a match. Kai waited and waited but there was no sign of the raven-haired boy. So after waiting 15 minutes Kai went in search of the teen that normally was never late. He went to the first place he thought of: the hotel. As he slowly, calmly made his way up the hall to the room he heard screaming. So quickening his pace he made his way to the small room. The door to Rei's room was already open so Kai just walked in.
Rei stood there, eyes rolled in the back of his head as a middle-aged woman yelled at him. "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO STAY IN THIS? HOW COULD YOU EXPECT ME TO?!" she was ranting. It was then that Rei noticed the extra presence in the room. "Oh, Hey Kai, this is my mum. Mum, this is Kai. But the woman just ignored Kai and continued to yell. "PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE WASTING YOUR EDUCATION ON THOSE THINGS!" she pointed to the "babies" in Rei's arms. "IF YOU ARE," she continued, "I'LL PULL YOU OUT OF THAT SCHOOL!" and when Kai saw the worry in the neko-jin's eyes he knew he had to help the poor boy. "Oh, yeah, thanks for minding my babies while I went out Rei. I really owe you." Kai said taking the dolls out of Rei's slender arms into his own only to receive a small questioning look from Rei.
Kai reached for the key around Rei's neck and as he did he whispered in his ear, "Play along." Rei slightly breathed out a quiet 'yes.' "That's fine, I was happy to do it. Anytime you need someone to baby sit, Kai, I'm your boy." Rei answered smiling. "SO KAI IS IT? YOUR LACK OF EDUCATION IS HOLDING UP MY REI'S! IS THAT CORRECT?" the annoying lady screamed. Before Kai could get anything in Rei had already started. "Mother, please stop yelling. It was compulsory for Kai to receive them and it must be very hard, I think he's doing a great job. He's top of the class, mother, as am I. We are both finely educated." She studied Kai up and down. "I don't know about him but… whatever." She said with venom dripping from her voice. It seemed that she disliked Kai Hiwatari quite a bit. Kai cleared his throat, mainly to fill the silence that had fallen.
"So Rei, are you coming to practice or what?" he asked remembering why he had come. Nodding enthusiastically they quickly made their way out the door, leaving a stunned mother mumbling to herself. "What am I going to do with that boy? Don't worry Lorraine," she said to herself, " It's that Kai fellow but he'll be gone soon enough." And she went off to do her own thing.

"Thank you so much Kai! You're a lifesaver. I owe you big time." Rei said as the two hurried out of the building. "Well, in that case, maybe you could baby sit some time." Kai smiled. 'I think your mum's about to kill me." "Or me." Rei finished off almost silently. And before it could reach the Russian's ears the two were outside and the words were carried away with the wind. After training it was already dark, so Max and Kenny went with Tyson to stay the night in his dojo, and even though Rei had declined the offer Kai had insisted he walk Rei back. Walking in the room Rei noticed that Lorraine was nowhere to be seen so he invited Kai in. They got a drink and something to eat; it was then Rei noticed how overflowing his garbage bin was. Sighing, he took out the bag and tied it at the end. He dragged it over to the window, checking that the dumpster was still right underneath his window and he dropped the bag of rubbish. It was dark so he could just see the bag hit the ground. "I'll be right back" he said to Kai. "It missed." So with that he exited the room. A few minutes later Kai heard a shrill scream that could only belong to one boy. Rei.
He rushed down, running quicker then ever before to find a shaking, sobbing, pale as a ghost teen. "Rei, what's wrong? What happened?" Kai asked, concerned. Rei just pointed a shaky finger, and when Kai saw what it was that Rei was pointing at he gasped, instinctively taking hold of the quaking boy beside him. "Shit Rei." He whispered. Finally when Rei could tear his eyes away from the scene he asked, "Where are the babies?" Kai handed Rei both and quietly, Rei started to sing to them. Slowly, Rei's eyes rose to meet those of crimson and he asked, "Kai, would you sing with me? Please?" and Kai couldn't resist. Even if it was just Rei going crazy, so he sung, low and quiet, and gentle. The two boys voices, singing in unison carried on through the dark, as the two couldn't forget what lay in front of them. "You are me sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you, so please don't take my sunshine away…" Rei's sweet voice broke off at the end as he was forced to look straight ahead once again, and he cried. He cried as he was held by the one boy that could be his only salvation now.
