Chapter Three.
"Morning Rei" yelled Tyson as he burst in to the room.
"to early Tyson" mumbled the boy in the bed burying his head in his pillow.
"you're going home!" shouted Max running beside Tyson.
"yes" answered the boy jumping upwards jarring his ribs "Ow" he moaned laying down again.
"take it slowly" ordered the nurse coming in to check on her patient before he left, carrying the medical equipment that he would need.
"Now you will need to take these at least morning and night" she explained the nurse passing some painkillers over to Rei
"and uses these for at least a week" she added producing a set of wooden crutches, she made sure that Rei could balance on the crutches before leaving to do the paper work.
"Grandpa, Kenny and Kai are waiting in the van downstairs, come on there's a seat in the restaurant with my name on it" rushed Tyson walking out of the room. "hurry up!"
"He didn't eat much at breakfast" explained Max as he helped Rei.
"Wait I'll just leave these here" said Rei leaving the crutches in the room.
"but you need them, the nurse said"
"don't worry Max, it will be fine" grinned Rei as he limped out of the room with Max's help "I don't need them see, the nurse just gave them as an option" he lied.
They made it outside to see Tyson bouncing in his seat.
"hurry up man, I need food" cried Tyson
"Tyson! Rei is hurt he can't rush" shouted Max, getting annoyed at Tyson's behaviour.
"Oh Sorry guys I forgot" grimaced the bluenet smiling apologetically at Rei, not bouncing in his seat anymore.
"Baka" came a gruff voice from the back of the bus.
"Oh Mr Sourpuss decided to say something" shouted Tyson
Rei turned to Max for an explanation.
"Kai hasn't been talking much at the hotel, he isn't as cold as he was at the start but he has withdrawn" smiled Rei helping Rei up the steps and setting into a seat in front of Kai.
"hey Ma homme, you left these in your room" shouted Grandpa as he boarded the bus producing Rei's crutches " the nurse was kind enough to run after with them"
"Thank you" muttered Rei as he took his crutches from the old man and shoving them on the seat next to him.
*Great I thought I had gotten rid of them*
your be needing them little dude" continued Grandpa, looking at Rei before sitting in the drivers seat starting the journey to the Hotel.
Max turned quickly to Rei "I thought you said you didn't need them" he said loud enough for the others to hear.
"you said what?" asked Kenny looking up from his Laptop.
"Crutches are there to help your ankle heal" added Dizzy " you need to use them"
"O.k. O.k. I'm sorry, I didn't think I needed them" answered Rei looking down once more.
"just use them Rei" answered Kai still sitting with his eyes closed at the back of the bus.
"once more with the non-stop conversation" teased Tyson, coursing Max to giggle.
"Hn" said Kai going back to his own thoughts.
*My new life starts, I hope it will be what I want* as a picture of Rei came in to his mind.

"we're here ma homme" stated Grandpa as he pulled into the hotel car park to be meet by Mr Dickinson.
Tyson ran off the bus towards the man followed closely by Max and Kenny.
Rei limped towards the front of the bus to be stopped by Kai.
"you forgot these" he said holding up the crutches up. "sit down Rei"
"But I need to get of the bus" Rei retorted not seeing Kai's reason.
"I know, it id easier to help you down the steps instead of being behind you" Kai answered back daring Rei to argue.
"fine" signed Rei sitting down on the nearest seat so the captain could pass, once Kai reached the door and steps he followed him.
"thanks" he offered when Kai gave him his crutches once he had come of the steps.
"Rei my Boy, I hope things are well?" asked Mr Dickinson coming up to the pair.
"Everything's fine Mr D" grinned Rei not letting the pain of his injures show through.
*Man, I didn't think moving so much would hurt like this, should I take those pain killers……NO!*
In his mind Rei was set, he was not going to take those painkillers.
"Come on boy it's time for a meal then I think Kai wants you to train.?" Said Mr Dickinson.
"No!" said Kai " I don't want to start training yet"
Tyson and Max looked at their team captain.
"I mean that there is too much going on for these to concentrate, Celebrations and the press will be everywhere, we'll start in a few days"
"Wise decision my boy" smiled Mr Dickinson glad that he had chosen this boy to be the leader "well the food then rest in the suite"
"I'll order Rei's and mine in the room, seeing that Rei is meant to be in bed or at least off his ankle for the week" said Kai looking at the Neko Jin seeing that Rei was not listening to the conversation.
"good idea Ma homme" responded Grandpa "the nurse said for him to take his pills and stay off his ankle" he added giving Kai the pain killers.
"Hn" said Kai as he walked towards the rest of the group.
"That boy cares more than he lets on" sighed Mr Dickinson looking over at the older Granger.
"That he does, Stanley, that he does" he answered as they watch Kai help Rei into the Hotel.
