*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Atlas sighed. She was driving a car she had rented from a garage close by till she could find the time to go and buy a car her self. She rubbed her temples, she was tired, she just wanted to get back to her old home. The house on the outskirts of London that she had shared with her Grandmother as a child. She thought absently to herself about how she had left Kai.....

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"What? Why are you going back to England?"

"Because, Kai, I just need to get away for a while." She said, again. The two had arrived at the airport after flying back from France, and she had just told him of her plans of going back to England for a while, he was taking it quite badly.

"Hey, I said I was sorry didn't I?" He said.

"Yeah, I know you did Kai, and I forgive you. Its just I need a little space, I mean. My Gran has just died; I was almost raped again, then hearing you on the phone to Tala... I still love you Kai, I just...Ugh, look, I'll call you when I get there okay?" She said.

He sighed, there was obviously no point in arguing with her, she had her mind made up, and it would only make her get irritated if he kept badgering her.

"Fine." He growled, not happy with this arrangement at all. She smirked at him, and brushed her lips against his, before she walked away to get a cheap ticket to Britain. Atlas pulled out her mobile phone while she waited in line, she was calling her mansion, even though no one was there, she could leave an answer phone message for Riley.

"Riley, hi it's Tas." She said when it clicked onto the answering machine. "Look, I'm going to go back to England for a week or so, okay? I'll call again when I get there, don't worry about me, k? I'll be back soon enough, just try to survive without me if ya can. Bye." And she

hung up. She bought tickets for the next flight out, Kai waited with her; she guessed he felt it was his fault that she was leaving. But, it wasn't. She believed him when he said he hadn't meant what he had said to Tala, she and him were alike, they each had ample helpings of pride, which they had to maintain.

*Would flight number 7823 please board, flight number 7823 to London, England, please board now.* Said the voice over the intercom. She sighed, that was her, she shouldered her bag, and turned to Kai.

"Sure I can't talk you out of this?" He asked her. She nodded.

"Yah, I'm sure, it's not like I'm gonna be gone long Kai, geeze, I would have thought you would be happy to be free of me." She laughed. Kai smirked, and pulled her in for a quick hug.

"I'm ecstatic, now fuck off, and then fuck back." He growled, pushing her towards the boarding gate, she smirked right back at him for a second, before turning and disappearing from view amongst the crowd. Kai sighed to himself, and turned to leave.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Riley growled. Women were supposed to be the ones who held people up.

"Johnny! Common! We are gonna miss our flight if you don't shift you ass now!" she yelled. It was the day after Atlas had stormed out, she wondered if her and Kai had made it up. She would find out when she got home...

Finally! Johnny was ready, and they could leave. The flight back when quickly enough, they parted at the airport, Riley going back to her mansion, Johnny to his.

When she got in, she didn't bother to notice the red bleeping light that signified there was a message on the answer machine, she was tired and she wanted a good long sleep in her own bed. She groggily got changed and fell amongst the covers, falling asleep almost instantly.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Atlas came out of her memories of earlier that day. She was about twenty minuets from her old home; as soon as she got in she was going to call Kai, then Riley. But Gods... she was so...tired...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kai sighed, he was exhausted, he was lying on his back on his bed. Damn! He couldn't get that foolish female out of his mind! He just had this feeling that something terrible was going to happen, he had no idea what. He decided he was being superstitious, and that he was getting too obsessed with one stupid white haired woman... who he happened to think was gorgeous. He gradually fell asleep, wishing Atlas was with him.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Atlas sprang back to consciousness at the sound of a loud horn. Her eyes snapped open, there was a blinding light blaring through the windscreen. She couldn't see! What had happened? Her insides turned cold when the knowledge that she had fallen asleep at the wheel! As the dazzling headlights passed her, her vision was plunged into blackness, and her eyes needed time to adjust. As her vision cleared, a tree loomed before her. She managed to gasp swiftly before the impact, she felt a sharp pain in her right leg before her head snapped forward and she was knocked unconscious.

*2 weeks later *

At first Riley had been very unhappy at the thought of Atlas going away to England alone, isolation was no way to deal with your troubles. At first she had insisted on going after her, but Kai had stopped her, saying that Atlas wanted some time away. However, he too was a little worried, she had told him that she would call him as soon as she got there, two weeks later, and nothing.

He had tried calling her, but the phone just rang and rang, perhaps her number had been changed, but that was still no excuse for not calling. School had been terrible ever since he had got back from snowboarding, boring and tedious, he had also had a row with Tala and now the two barely ever spoke, or looked at each other for that matter.

It was after a particularly trying Monday, assembly, ten double geography, then double science, and lastly double math, that he decided that he was going to England to find out what the Hell had happened to her.

It had taken him a while to find the house where her and her Grandmother used to live, but he managed to track it down. He knocked on the door. Nothing. He peered in through one of the windows, the house was in darkness, no one was in.

"You lost darlin'?" Asked a woman from the window of the next house, her London accent was heavy, and Kai suddenly became aware of his less common American voice.

"Uhh, yeah, I'm looking for Atlas Hiromi, do you know were she is?" He asked.

A pained expression crossed the woman's face.

"Ah, young Tas, poor little thing, you want the Royal Hospital, Love, shouldn't have happened to a sweet little girl like that....no." Se muttered, turning away. Kai wondered what part of Atlas this woman thought was 'sweet' as far as he knew she was as cold and as arrogant as him, but she was in Hospital?! That must be why she didn't call, because she didn't want them to worry. He knew this wasn't true, she was the kind of person who would phone instantly demanding sympathy and presents in abundance, but he didn't admit this to himself, not wanting to think that something had happened to her, making it so she couldn't call. He hoped she wasn't in a coma or something, he wasn't in the mood for sitting next to her bed at all hours for the next month.

He quickly caught a black, London taxi to the Royal Hospital and paid the ¡Ì3 fare. On entering the white, bare, chemical smelling lobby, he went straight to the marble desk.

"Were can I find Atlas Hiromi?" He asked bluntly. The receptionist looked up at him haughtily, clearly irritated by his lack of manners. She started typing on a computer, and Kai waited impatiently.

"I'm sorry sir, but she can take no visitors, unless you can prove your connection with the patient." She said, with a slight smugness in her voice.

He tugged out his wallet, and reluctantly pulled out a small photo, crammed into the smallest corner.

"Here!" he snarled. It was one of the few Riley had managed to get of the camera-shy pair whilst they were in the cabin. Kai and Atlas were curled together on a sofa, kissing. He flushed red as the nurse smiled at the photograph. Her features softened a little.

"Of course sir, Mary!" She yelled, "Watch the reception for me!" She ordered her colleague, and then turning back to Kai who was quickly stuffing is wallet back into his pocket, she said.

"This way please."

She lead him through several corridors, he got a glimpse in a few rooms of people lying in beds, their faces blank and bored. He frowned, unable to imagine Atlas like this.

The nurse led him right through the hospital, which was very large, until they came to a spacious garden at the back, the nurse pointed over to a wheel chair. Kai's eyes widened. The person in it was holding a ball, but then, she threw it to another person in a wheel chair, who threw it to someone else. It was a simple game, but it pleased the people.

The nurse walked severely up to the white haired teen who occupied the chair and coughed. Kai saw her turn, her black eyes surprised to see the nurse.

"Miss. Hiromi, I have told you before to stay away from the sports equipment, games like this are dangerous for people in wheel chairs!"

She said harshly.

Kai expected her to argue back, but she did something that surprised him. She looked down at the ground and muttered a quiet apology, and the nurse retrieved the ball before saying to her.

"Now Atlas, look, you have a visitor." And she pointed at Kai who had come closer.

The nurse left.

"Jesus Map, what the fuck happened to you?" He breathed, her leg was in a cast and propped up in front of her.

"My leg," She said, "I broke it."

"Geeze, no shit !" He snarled as she pointed out the obvious. She was acting a little strangely, he thought.

"Uhh, you seem to be a little young for a doctor, what's your name?" His head snapped up as she said that. his mouth opened, was she joking?!

"Wh-what do you mean, what's my name? It's me, Kai!" He said. She looked at him.

"Sorry, I don't remember ever meeting you before, but that's to be expected, the only thing I could remember after the crash was my name. The doctors are trying to find a way to make me remember." She told him. Kai sat, aghast.

"So, you see, even if I did know you, to me, it's like I have never seen you before."

Kai stared at her dumbstruck and heart broken.
