Hey all!

I can't believe how many reviews I've gotten so far! Thanks to everybody! I think of something to give you guys later. ^__^

Black: As if they really need anything. They're all just h-mmmph!

White: Don't insult the readers!

Black: -_-'

So! Chappie! I'm so sorry for taking so long, I could never figure out what I really wanted.

Reviews to:

Gothic-Wolf: thanks for joining the clan of readers! ^__^ I love getting reviews.

White: Especially good ones!

TokiKasumari: Being odd isn't a flaw! 'Tis a very good thing.

Black: And she should know. Look at us. ^_^'

Kim: Kai and Rei will have many bumps along the road to follow. ^___^

Uminaoe*hart: Hey welcome to the story. I'd recommend reading the first ones soon. I like them better than this one!

White: Of course, as long as you keep reading and reviewing we're happy!

Phoenix147: I know. I was just trying to find something. He's just thinking of the crazy stereotypical gay guy. I don't know.

Black: You've confused her. Good job.

So here we go!

~`~,*|*`~,~

Rei sat in the taxi next to Kai.

The blue-haired teen was leaning against the window and Rei knew he was keeping the side of his neck where the scar was away from him.

When Rei had gone the second day after his confession the bandage was off and the stitches were taken out. He was deemed alright by the doctor in charge and after a brief and probably unfruitful conversation with a physiologist he was allowed to go home.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Rei asked again and Kai looked at him witheringly.

"I'm not made out of glass, Rei. I'm fine. A little out of shape, but fine."

Kai knew Rei still didn't believe him so he sighed and said, "What do you want me to do? I'm a bit weak, that's it!"

"Alright Kai," Rei sighed, giving up getting Kai to admit to the pain he knew was there.

~`~,@|@`~,~

"Kai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A loud explosion of noise and chaos ensued from Kai's entrance into the cabin. Newly sensitive to Kai's weakness, Rei suddenly fully appreciated Kai's stoicism. He could block out the pain and grunt through the questions and unwanted cheerfulness.

The others were just done supper, but Tyson generously offered to sit down with them while they ate.

"So Kai, do you have to go back to the hospital for anything later?" Max asked as Kai picked at a plate of spaghetti.

"No," he answered quietly, pushing his plate away.

Tyson looked crestfallen and said, "You don't like my noodles?"

"No, they're good, I just don't want to eat right now," Kai said, standing up from the table.

"Alright..." Tyson said, and then immediately cheered up when he realized this was the extra serving he wasn't allowed earlier.

Kai sighed and allowed Rei to help him to their room.

"Man, Kai's really out of it," said Max to Tyson after they were gone.

"Yeah, I know. He's quieter than before. I guess he's still upset, but it looks like Kai and Rei are closer than before."

Tyson stood up and dumped the empty plate in the sink to be washed tomorrow or maybe the day after.

"Well, Rei was the one who found him. I guess they kind of bonded. They've always been kind of close. It's really something to share."

They both went into the living room together and Tyson turned on the TV.

"I don't' know, Max. It's kind of weird the way they're getting along like this. Kai usually doesn't like people helping him, but just now he let Rei help him out."

~`~,*|*`~,~

Well, that's it for now. I need ideas!!!!! Stupid school sucking all the creativity out of me... I'm so sorry for leaving you guys with a crappy short chapter after waiting so long, but I can't think of where I want the next chapter to go! Don't worry. It'll come to me. Eventually.

Black: -_-'

White: ^__^' We're sorry for not doing our jobs. *sniff* You can make us feel better and give us ideas by *gasp!* reviewing!

See ya *sighz*

White: Clicky clicky!!!!
