DISCLAIMER: does it ever cross your mind that it's amazingly pointless saying this as we all already know? *sigh* oh well, I don't own much.

A/N: sorry it's been a while. I'm working on another fiction now as well as looking after my brother who has just had an operation as well as school, which is weighing me down dramatically. Sorry. Anyway, here ya go!


"What's happening? What are you doing?" he's screaming like I can control this. I can only hope he figures out what to do before I die. And with that, it all fades to darkness, once again.


Kai started in shock at the motionless body lying on the cold concrete floor. He soon fixed his emotionless stare back on.

"Stop playing Rei and get up. I'm in no mood for games. Don't think I'm going to let you go because of this. I'm not that stupid I know you're faking." But as Kai got no reply he crouched next to the raven-haired teen and checked his pulse. It was still there; just… it seemed… different, somehow. Taking a deep breath he exited the room. Just as he closed a door behind him a certain pink haired blader came up to him.

"Mariah," he acknowledged turning around. "Is there anything you want?"

"No," she shook her head. "Just going to see how Rei's doing. Is he broken yet?"

Kai's brow furrowed. "Of course he is. It's just… he's…" he sighed, exasperated. "Mariah, something happened to him and he's unconscious. I don't know what though. He just started gasping and choking and then then then… IT WASN'T MY FAULT!!!" he panicked.

Mariah growled, "Don't worry, Kai. I forgive you. It's not your fault that you aren't as smart as me or superior. Is that correct?" she twirled a piece of her hair around one finger.

Kai bowed to her, "You are correct, Mariah."

She smiled. "Good. Now, I'm going to go see if I can find out what's wrong with Rei. Go and get me some cake while your waiting."

"Of course."

And with that, Mariah turned and walked into the room Kai had recently emerged from while Kai turned the opposite way to receive Mariah's wanting.

Mariah rolled her eyes as she saw Rei lying on the floor, sprawled out like a dead animal.

"Kai you idiot. He just had an asthma attack." She mumbled to herself. As she kneeled down in front of Rei the door suddenly burst open as Kai ran in out of breath.

"REI!!!" he screamed before seeming to strangely settle back to calmness once more. "I'm sorry, Mariah. That will not happen again. I just got distracted, that's all."

Mariah sighed, "That had better be true. If he escapes like that again when Rei is awake we might have a few problems. Do you get me, Kai?" she asked. He nodded, obeying.

After a while Mariah had retrieved Rei's puffer and he was awake and healthy for now.  It was getting dark as night fell and slowly, everyone disappeared to bed. Everyone except for Kai.

He sat against a wall whispering, "I can't fall asleep. He'll get me then. I know he will. I can't let my guard down." But as the night strode on the teen grew more tired by the minute. It wasn't long until he was in a deep, dreamless slumber.

As Rei tried to drift off to sleep for the fourth time tonight when a quiet creak was heard, signaling that someone was coming through the door. He closed his eyes and let his breathing even out, pretending he was asleep.

"Rei? I know you're awake." But there was no answer for this visitor. "Okay then. Just listen. Someone got into my body and now they're the ones doing this to you to help Mariah. I can only speak to you on my own will when this person puts down their guard and relaxes. Like now, they fell asleep. I promise Rei, I'll fight them out of my body and save you. Hang in there. Don't let them break you. I love you." And Rei opened his eyes just in time to see the boy with two-toned hair leave, closing the door behind him.

~ The next morning ~

Mariah walked in with a frown on her face. "I'm letting you go. Tell no one about this otherwise you will be killed. Don't ask any questions why. Just leave." So after she untied Rei from his position her quickly fled out of the house and down the street. 'Where am I?' he thought. 'This doesn't look familiar to me.' and as he wandered a little further down a few small streets then down to an isolated park. Suddenly, a scream pierced the previous peaceful atmosphere, and to many people near by the area, it sent chills over the body. The poor neko-jin never had a chance.


A/N: okay, sorry it's short, wanted to get it out. I know what I'm doing for a while now so.. yay! Well, I'm gonna go. It's way too hot to be sitting at the computer.

Hugs and kisses,

Love a-drop-of-rain, xxx

PLEASE REVIEW! I'm desperate for them.
