Heya happy-chans, sorry about the lateness yet again but I have been very busy. But I've made this chapter as long as I can to make up for it.

Enjoy! And once again, thank you all so much for all the reveiws, and for just reading it!

Wake Up

The silent sounds of shuffling feet along corridors filled the Russian's head as he was wheeled down to another room in the hospital, his head seeming to get worse and he could barely even look at any source of light.

Kai sighed with annoyance and slight concern. Why did he need more tests, he'd done enough already, and what did the nurse mean when she said 'just in case'?

"It shouldn't be anything to worry about Mr. Hiwatari..." the nurse suddenly said, obviously noticing the stress that was lingering over the bluenett.

"It's Kai. And I'm not worrying," Kai replied emotionlessly, causing the woman to huff slightly and remain silent until they arrived at a pure white door.

The nurse then leaned over the chair and knocked it, rather loud, much to the Russian's annoyance and he growled slightly, rubbing his aching temples.

A stern voice was heard, beckoning them to go inside. Once in, crimson depths stared round the so-called 'office', which looked just like any other hospital room- minus the bed.

"Hiwatari Kai, am I right?" Dr. Rico asked, his back turned as he rummaged through a pile of files.

"Yes," Kai stated, getting up from the wheelchair and sitting down on the small chair in front of his desk and surprised the doctor didn't have a Spanish accent like the others, but quickly just shrugged it off as him not coming from the Dominican.

"Be right with you, just finding your file... Ah," the tall man said, finally pulling out a brown folder from the pile and turning round to face the Russian. His hair was jet black and spiked up to the side, though a hint of deep purple could just be seen, which complimented the doctors lavender orbs. He wore along white coat with a white shirt and black trousers underneath, looking very smart with his, small, oval glasses.

Kai simply sat there, his arms crossed as he watched the doctor, obviously bored.

"I'm sorry to call you up here so early Mr. Hiwatari, we ju-"

"Kai," the Russian interrupted.

"Sorry, Kai... Yes... We just got the results back from the blood test we took, and the results are quite... How should I put this... Different," Dr. Rico stated.

"Different?" Kai questioned.

"As you've been told, the reason for you and your friends sudden illness was because of a drug we believe to be put in your drinks."

"Yeah..."

"Well, the drug is quite new so we are yet to know its name or that much about it. But what we do know as a fact it can affect your nervous system quite badly in other words completely throw off your movements and making your reflexes completely flip, or extreme sickness, and a few other things, though they aren't relevant at the moment," the man said, with a small smile.

"What is relevant then?" Kai asked, getting rather annoyed with the doctors pointless blabbering, as he wanted to get back to Rei. He'd missed him so much and then to be taken away for some mindless lecture wasn't exactly the Russian's 'piece of cake'.

"Right... Well, we're quite worried about you, the nurse has told me you've threw up many times, which is could or could not be a good sign," Dr. Rico said in a professional tone, finally catching on to Kai's annoyance.

"Why did you bring me down here to tell me that?" the bluenett asked, lightly putting one hand to his throbbing head.

"Well, vomiting repetitively is the minor affect of the drug, it will last a couple of days, but there's a chance it can develop into something much worse. So, another blood test will be necessary to see if it is developing or not, and to see if that headache of yours is linked to anything," the man said with a soft nod of his head.

"Fine. Whatever," Kai replied with a slight shrug of his shoulders, "Can I go back now?" he added as an after thought.

Dr. Rico smiled, "After the test, but one more thing. We are extremely concerned about your friend Max. Mr. Granger isn't as bad; I think he's just the same as you, with an added hangover. But Mr. Tate, he's in a very bad condition."

Kai's eyes softened slightly as he listened to the doctor, "So... Is he going to be all right?" he asked.

Dr. Rico sighed, "I'm afraid we won't know until he wakes up. Having consumed so much of the drug, it could lead to the full affect, which, like I said, it can utterly confuse his nervous system."

Kai blinked a few times in disbelief, obvious he was getting worried.

"Please don't worry Mr. Hiw- Kai, Max should be ok. Having gotten him to us as quickly as you all did, that's defiantly helped him," the doctor said, trying to reassure the bluenett.

With a final heave, Kai finally stopped vomiting for the fifth time since he'd woken up, which was only forty minutes ago. Groaning slightly, he let his hands slip down from the rim of the toilet as he sat back on his knees to hear a soft knock at the bathroom door.

"Kai... Kai, you all right in there?" a soft voice asked from behind the door.

"I'm fine Tyson, go back to bed," the Russian moaned, pulling himself to his feet.

Tyson had finally woken up, not too long before Kai. And like the Russian, he'd thrown up a couple of times, but he seemed fine apart from that. His eyes were rimmed with black shadows and slightly bloodshot, though he still had his chirpy attitude.

"I feel like crap so I can't sleep... You sure you're ok?" the blader asked, sitting down on the edge of Kai's bed as it was nearest to the bathroom door.

A small click was heard and the door slowly opened, revealing Kai standing in his jeans from the night before and a very baggy shirt that the hospital had found him to wear. Though it was way too big for the crimson teen, it defiantly suited him.

"Hey," Tyson said randomly.

Kai nodded as he shut the door, "Get off my bed," he stated bluntly, furrowing his eyebrows slightly at the teen.

"Same old Kai..." Tyson muttered with a soft smile as he got up and went over to Max's bed, sitting on the chair next to it.

The bluenett sat down on his bed, running his finger over the small hole in the bend of his arm from the blood test he had previously had. Sighing softly he turned and looked at the others, eyes softening.

"You think he'll be all right Kai?" Tyson asked quietly, running his fingers gently over the blonde's hand.

"He'll wake up soon, and be fine," Kai replied, his eyes trailing over the sleeping teen.

"But what if he isn't... I mean, all this shit about that drug thing, I'm starting to doubt..."

"Well if you're doubting Max being ok then your not a very good friend or partner are you? If you don't even believe in him, who will?" Kai asked, frowning slightly, "Max will be fine Tyson. I know he will, Rei does, and you do."

Tyson glanced at Kai, a small smile gracing his lips, and even though he didn't say anything, he was grateful for the teen's boost of confidence, and Kai knew it.

"I'm going to find Rei. Call someone if he wakes up..." the bluenett said, gathering himself to his feet and heading out the door, walking quite slowly as his head hadn't gotten better what so ever.

The Neko-jin sat in the small room he had stayed in for the night, his elbows on his knees as his thumbs twisted round one another nervously.

His eyes were heavy and dull as he had only an hour sleep from being so worried about everyone, especially Kai. Raven hair fell carelessly over his face as he leaned forward, resting his head in his hands pleading for the hour he was allowed to go and see his phoenix, to arrive.

Sighing heavily, Rei glanced up at the clock above the door, at that exact moment the small click of the door handle being turned was heard.

"Hm..." the tiger muttered to himself as he watched the handle turn and a figure step in, "Kai!"

The Russian turned round from closing the door, putting a hand to his head, "Hey, not so loud," he said with a small half smile.

Rei instantly gathered himself to his feet and threw his arms round the bluenett, hugging him close, "I'm so glad your ok," he ushered, nuzzling into the crook of Kai's neck.

"Heh, like I wouldn't be," Kai said with a smile, returning the embrace.

"This is turning out to be quite the holiday," the tiger said randomly.

"Yeah, I'll be happy to go home on Monday," Kai replied with a sigh, nuzzling into Rei's neck.

"Only two more nights," the neko-jin muttered, sighing softly as he felt Kai's breath against his skin, but he felt it suddenly skip a breath, "Kai?"

The Russian stepped back from Rei, turning round.

"What's wrong?" the tiger asked.

"Nothing... Be right back..." Kai muttered, holding his head and went into the bathroom.

His eyes flickered slightly, yet they still didn't open, much to the teen's sadness. Gentle fingers trailed over his cold hand, outlining each curve and turn as he rested on his elbow.

"Wake up soon..." Tyson muttered to the silent blonde, "It's too quiet without you..."

The tips of his fingers slightly twitched though there was no sound or the slightest sign he'd be waking up any time soon.

Tyson was suddenly snapped from his thoughts at the sound of someone coming in the room.

"Morning Tyson," Dr.Rico said with a soft smile, "Feeling any better?"

Tyson nodded, "Yeah thanks... Max isn't any different though..."

The man nodded, "Hm... He should be up soon, give him time. Now, have you seen Kai, we've got the new results and some news to tell him.

"He's gone to find Rei I think."

"Rei?" Dr. Rico questioned.

"Um... A, friend of his. He stayed in a room down the hall," Tyson informed.

"Thank you," and at that Dr. Rico bowed his head slightly before turning on his heels and heading out to find Kai.

After a few minutes of searching, Dr. Rico had eventually found the room Kai was in.

"Ah, here we go," he said to himself, knocking the door, waiting for a reply.

"Come in!" a voice called from inside, a voice he didn't recognise so he assumed it was that Rei, that Tyson had told him about.

Twisting the handle, Dr. Rico stepped inside, "Hello... Rei, I presume?" he asked with a small smile, looking over his glasses.

"Yeah..." the neko-jin replied simply.

"Is Kai around?" he asked.

"He's in the bathroom... I think he's being sick," the tiger said worriedly.

"Ah yes, poor lad. It's one of the affects of the drug, it should pass soon though," Dr. Rico said reassuringly.

A few moments later, the Russian came out from the bathroom, looking slightly pale even though he had quite a good tan.

"Feeling any better Mr. Hiwatari?" Dr. Rico asked, smiling.

"No not really," Kai stated bluntly, sitting down on the small couch in the room.

"Ah, well, that's to be expected, but I do have some good news."

"What is it?" Kai asked, glancing up at the doctor.

"We've gotten the results of the test, it came out all clear and it seems the sickness is slowly dying so it should pass within the next 24 hours, which is what you might think as a close call as it could've been a lot worse," Dr. Rico informed, and Rei let out a sigh of relief.

Kai nodded slightly, though wishing he didn't from the pain in his head, "Ack... What about this damn headache?" he asked.

Dr. Rico chuckled, "The word hangover comes to mind Mr. Hiwatari," he stated with a small smile, causing Rei laugh slightly.

"I only had one drink..." Kai protested.

"With the amount of the drug that was in that one drink Kai, most likely counted for a lot more," the doctor informed, "Just be th-"

"Dr. Rico!" a nurse suddenly came into the room, interrupting him.

"Hm? What's wrong?" he asked turning to face the woman.

"A boy in the other room, Max, he's woken up and his heart rate's all over the place," she informed quickly.

Dr. Rico nodded and instantly headed out of the room, followed by Kai, Rei and the nurse.

Ba dum tish! All done... Though, I don't think that chapter was any good, so I apologise for that.

And just so you all know, there are only 2 chapters left in this fic.

R&R Happy-chans!
