Beep.
Scribble.
Voices.
Those were the only things coming from the room that currently was occupied by Rei and a bunch of
doctors.
After Rei had collapsed and gone unconscious Judy, Emily and a few coworkers arrived and rushed over to
the fallen body. The pushed everyone away from Rei and checked his pulse. Finding a fading one Judy
called for one of the male coworkers to carry Rei to the infirmary, since it would take to much time to call f
or a stretcher which would just mean less time for Rei.
Now Rei was in the other room on a medical bed surrounded by machines and doctors taking many tests all
trying to find out was wrong with the neko-jin blader. Apart from Rei, Driger sat in the lab also having tests
run on him. Whatever was wrong with Driger must have affected Rei as well.
Now both teams sat in the waiting room, anxiously waiting the news of their fallen friend and team mate.
Max and Tyson had tears in their eyes taking comfort from each other. Kenny had Dizzy open trying hard
to listen to what she was saying but worry blocking his mind. Kai stood as usual, but his posture slightly off
balance from how he usually stood. He was hiding the worry he had over someone he consider a brother.
The All Stars were sitting quietly coming back from helping with delivering the tests to the labs.
Hours had gone by and soon the beyblades were escorted to guestroom apartments. Rei slept in silence. All
the could be heard was his ragged breathing and the hum of the machines.
Michael lay in his room all thoughts on Rei. He was pondering over his emotions.
'I have no feelings towards Rei. But then.........why did I help him then, a couple of nights
ago? Then again anyone would have done that. But still....he's different. He's a good blader, kind,
gentle, gracious, beauti-.....'
Michael bolted up , and sat with his head in his hands.
'Is that what's wrong with me? Am I worrying over Rei because I love him?
Michael replayed all the encounters, feelings, thoughts and emotions that he had during the times he was
with Rei and they all added up.
He laughed at this. Slowly he got up from his bed and walked out of his room. He checked the hallways to
make sure they were clear. He didn't want to go all this way only to end up getting caught. He neared the
infirmary. He was about to walk in when he heard footsteps coming from inside. He quickly hid around the
corner and peered into the room. There was Kai coming out of Rei's room.
'What's he doing in Rei's room. Everyone was restricted from coming here. He did seem really concerned
over Rei. What if-..' Michael froze in mid thought. He felt a slight rip in his heart. It couldn't be could it.
Watching Kai walk down the hall he waited until he heard the door quietly close and let out a huge sigh. He
knew it couldn't be possible. He came all the way down here for a reason and he wasn't just gonna give up.
Quietly he walked into Rei's room. He gasped at how awful Rei looked. Rei's bluish/pale skin was adorned
with sweat. Heavy breathing was coming from him. Michael finally looked at what had first started his
worry over Rei. The neko-jin now had black veins running up the full length of his arms, and a few could
be seen around his neck. Michael guessed that there was even more on his chest, but they were covered up
from Rei's shirt.
Slowly Michael walked over to Rei and sat down on the edge of the bed. The material under him was
warm, so he guessed that this was where Kai had previously been sitting. Feeling uncomfortable sitting
there, he moved closer to Rei, trying to get rid of evidence of Kai's presence. He starred at Rei for a long
time, not moving at all. Slowly he brought his hand up and brushed a few wet strands of hair out of Rei's
face. As soon as he brought his hand back Rei started to trash slightly and whimper. Michael was scared
but didn't run for help.
"Rei?! Come on Rei. Don't do this." His words faded into space, not being heard by the other.
Michael knew that Rei was having a nightmare, common for a high fever, but he wish he could help and
protect Rei from whatever was frightening him.
**~~Dream~~**
Rei opened his eyes, and gasped. Everything was black. Everything that is except him and this other light
beside him.....Driger!! Rei stood up. Both he and Driger looked fine. Rei was beginning to get
scared. He called out to Driger.
"Driger. What's going on?" But Driger didn't answer.
"Please Driger, I'm scared. Please tell me what's going on." Rei pleaded, tears pouring out of his eyes.
Driger wouldn't answer. Rei was scared. Driger always answered when he asked him. Driger was always
there from him when he was frightened.
Rei remembered back in China after he ran away to seek out the world. Living on the streets for the first
couple of months was hard and scary. He remembered at night how Driger would always comfort him, and
listened to him. He truly was a friend. The only friend he had had after leaving his village and meeting up
with the Bladbreakers.
His thoughts came back to his surroundings. He studied Driger. The white tiger was starring at something.
Rei turned his head. All of a sudden hot black ropes wrap around him and Driger holding them to the spot.
Rei and Driger struggled to free themselves. Slowly untangling himself from the hot, painful ropes Rei ran
over to Driger making it to him only to be wrapped in the ropes again. Rei looked around trying to find the
source.
Eyes widened at what was in front of him. All he could see was 6 beady glowing red eyes starring at him.
They were slowly advancing on Rei and Driger. Rei clung to Driger, hiding his face in Driger's fur.
Driger's muscles tensed and he slowly tried to retreated back. The eye's came closer. Rei started to
whimper. Slowly he was finding it hard to breathe. The void had become very thick and almost unbearable.
Rei let out a wretched cry, before being pulled down by the ropes.
**~~End Dream~~**
Slowly Rei stopped thrashing.
Michael was relieved though it seemed that Rei had just gotten worse. He was very jumpy, which made
him jump when he heard his name.
"Michael."
