Meh, tired, hungry...

One question, what is everyones obsession with Gackt? I've seen him mentioned in quite a few fanfics, but who is he? Oh well, on with the chapter!

Chapter Thirteen:

Tyson picked up a silver pen off of a table and started to tap the lid repeatedly, while watching the portable white phone that lay beside him. He was sat at a table in his kitchen, in his apartment on the 13th floor of Sunup apartments. He placed the pen down, again, and crossed his arms. Frowning, he uncrossed his arms and drummed his fingers on the pine table.

"Will you please stop fidgeting! It's irritating!" Max's voice rang out from the room next door to the kitchen.

How long had they been waiting for the call now? Ever since Rei and Kai went off to hospital in an ambulance after Kai and that guy had been shot, he had heard nothing, and was waiting for somebody to ring up and tell him what was going on. To hear about what was going to happen about the gang. And to see if Kai is alright of course.

At this moment Max's light footsteps could be heard approaching the kitchen entrance. His hair and clothes were disarrayed from sleeping and his face showed signs of tiredness. "Tyson, don't worry. I'm sure he will be fine." He offered with a weak smile.

"Yeah, I know. You know, you could of borrowed some of my pajamas, instead of sleeping in your day clothes and getting them all wrinkled."

Max smiled again, "I know, but that would of only caused more washing for you, and seeming that your already behind on the last lot, that wouldn't be very good for you." Max then glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's 9 o'clock, I think visiting hours start now. Why don't you go down to the hospital and see Kai for yourself?"

Tyson lent back, so only two legs of the chair were on the floor. He looked up in thought and place a arm across his chest and rested his other elbow on it so that he could chew on his nail in thought. "I guess I could." He smiled, uncrossing arms to let the hang by his sides. He broke in to a grin, "After all, the worst that could happen is that Kai will get irritated and hit me." His face suddenly turned gloomy. "Thats if he's even alive."

"Tyson don't think like that." Max said while moving behind Tyson and wrapping his arms comfortingly around Tyson's shoulders.

Tyson rocked back on to all four chair legs and leaned back in to Max's embrace, while holding Max's arms. "Will you come with me?"

"Of course I will."

Tyson let go of Max's arms so Max could get free. "Do you want to go to your apartment so you can get some clean clothes?"

"Yeah, that would be nice. These smell. I could do with a shower as well." Max said while walking back in to the living room.

Tyson leaned forward and leaned his elbows on the table while cupping his faces with his hands, closing his face off from the world. "Shit, what will happen if you are dead Kai? What will happen to the gang, no one else can run it but you."

After Tyson and Max had stopped off at Max's apartment, Max now clean and freshly dressed, Tyson drove them in to the hospital parking lot. Buying a time ticket from a near pay and display machine, they walked in to the sterile atmosphere of the hospital. Tyson and Max approached the woman at reception where Kai would be, saying that they were cousins to him, she directed them to a ward up a floor and a few corridors to their right. When they came up to the ward, they saw no Kai, and when they asked a plump nurse, they were told he was in a private room. After they asked for directions, she pointed angrily towards a room and scolding them for interrupting her work. Tyson was the first to walk in to the room.

Rei sat on a plastic chair next to a empty hospital bed, he clutched a plastic coffee cup with both hands and his face was blank, but he had tired, red eyes from crying, that stared at the wall in front of him.. "He's gone in for another operation." He said without looking up. Tyson spotted the empty space beside Rei.

"Will he be ok?" Tyson said from his position in the door frame, still clutching the twisted handle.

At this Rei's face shriveled up, dropping the cup on the floor spilling coffee everywhere, he buried his face in his hands and began to cry again.

Max shoved past Tyson, who had finally let go of the door handle, and knelt next to Rei, holding his shoulder. "Shhh, don't worry. I'm sure he's going to be ok. Have faith, don't worry. Everything will be fine." He comforted.

"How can you know? Your not a doctor, and you haven't been here." Rei's muffled cries came from behind his hand.

Tyson came to stand in front of Max and Rei and crossed his arms, trying to keep his voice as level as possible, he said "What happened when Kai first came in here? What did the doctors say?"

Rei spoke, still covered by his hands, some of his braided hair fell down beside his face and twined between his fingers. "He first went in for a operation to get the bullet out, that took a few hours. When he came out of the theatre, he looked so old and worn, I just stared until he woke up. He wanted to hold my hand and I stayed strong and didn't try again. Well, that was until the doctors came back this morning and examined him and said he needed to go back in to the operating theatre again. I don't know why, he was just rushed off, and I followed them. I walked back here after I was told I could not stay or go further. I got a cup of coffee and I have been sat here ever since. The doctors said they didn't know what was going to happen."

Tyson's eyebrows furrowed. "You've only known him for a few days. How could you cry over him when you hardly know him?" He asked, leaning his head to the side.

"Tyson" Max hissed at Tyson from his position on the floor.

Rei chose to ignore Max. "Yeah I know, but I feel like I've known him my whole life. I have this great sense of attachment that I don't quite understand. Your a bit of a hypocrite, what about you and Max? From what I understand, you two are quite attached yourselves."

At this, Tyson gave off a guilty grin and blush, while scratching the back of his neck. "Did they say when he is coming out of the operating theatre?" Tyson asked.

Rei jumped from his seat as the room's door swung open and a tired looking doctor walked through, pulling a hospital bed after him, which was being pushed on the other by the plump nurse in blue dress. The doctor smiled at them all, and stood out the way so they could see Kai lying asleep in the bed. "Hello, I am doctor Burrows. Your friend here will be just fine, give him a few weeks and he will be like as bright as a button. Just make sure he rests. Nurse, can you please put him in the proper place and leave while I talk to his friends here."

The nurse did as she was told and left without a word, seriousness painted her plump face.

Doctor Burrows watched her go and turned to the group. "Were you all there when he was shot?"

"Yes" Rei answered.

"Did you know the man that was killed?"

"Yes." Rei answered again.

"Who was he?"

"Pipi."

"Pipi... who?"

"I don't know his full name."

"So, you don't know much about him? His date of birth? His address?"

"Nope." Rei answered.

"Ok. Thats all I'm allowed to ask. I'm afraid that the police have more freedom. They will be here soon to ask some questions."

Max and Tyson's eyes widened and their mouths slackened in surprise. Rei's face didn't even flinch, he just merely nodded.

"Ok, I will be leaving you now. A nurse will come back in every hour to check his temperature and other such procedures. With this said the doctor walked out the door and silently closed it behind him.

Tyson waited for the doctors steps to fade out down the corridor before speaking. "What are we gonna do now? What are we gonna tell the police? 'Oh, hello there officer! Oh yes, my friend shot the guy. Oh what? Your gonna arrest him now?'?"

"You two leave. Now. Leave the police to me." Rei demanded in a harsh tone, his face turned and staring at the wall in front of him. Max was about to protest when Rei shouted" Get out NOW! I can handle them." Rei gripped the side of his chair.

"Now now Rei. You are emotionally distraught, I don't think.."

Rei snapped his head around to face Max. "I don't care. Just leave."

Max's face went blank and he stood up and left without a word.

Tyson looked at Rei for a few moments before following Max out the door.

Rei let the anger drain from his body and turned to stare at Kai.

If Max and Tyson had been alert when leaving the hospital, they would have noticed a familiar Tiger lurking around the hospitals premises.
