Hey peeps!!! Thanks 4 da reviews, I'm finally gonna update. ^-^
Just so you know, I have chosen...ah, I'm not gonna tell ya, you'll just have to wait and see.
Rei: That was cruel
Me: *Glomps Rei* REI!!! Would you like to do the disclaimer?
Rei: *Sighs* K, Espina does not own Beyblade, (Thankfully.)
Me: I heard that!
Kai: Well obviously since you wrote it.
Me: Oh Yeah! Anyhoo, on with the story!!!
**********************************
"I love you." Kai brushed away a tear, "I love you Rei Kon, more then anyone else, more then Beyblading! If you hadn't joint the team, I don't know what I'd have done and if you leave me now, I'll be lost. You've got to make it Rei; don't leave me now I won't last. Please Rei, please." He tried his best to fight back the now free-flowing tears. He felt a soft squeeze on his hand, looking down; he saw a slight smile on Rei's lips under his slightly open, soft, amber eyes. Kai gently brushed Rei's cheek and smiled back at him.
"Rei, I-" He was cut off as Rei's finger pressed against his lips,
"Kai." He took his fingers from their position on Kai's lips and hugged the slate haired teen's arm tightly, "I love you too Kai, more then words can say." Kai bent down and gently kissed Rei's soft lips. They slowly parted and amber met crimson as they gazed into each other eyes. Kai stroked Rei's raven hair gently, Rei moved into Kai's warm touch and closed his eyes,
"Kai." He said before blacking out again. Kai sat by him and eventually fell asleep, lulled by Rei's occasional soft purrs.
Where Tyson and Max are
Tyson rubbed his eyes and looked around the room as he was woken by several 'soft' nudges in his arm. He looked up at the person behind this; his dark blue eyes fell on the blonde sitting in the bed above him (A/N: Tyson fell asleep on the floor.) Max grinned down at his friend and shoved some food from the tray in front of him into his mouth. Tyson smiled sweetly up at his friend and Max responded by handing Tyson his own tray.
"Thanks Maxie!" Tyson grinned with pleasure as he began sorting through the different food substances on his plate. Max finished his and handed the remainder to Tyson,
"Here Tyson. You can finish mine." Tyson gladly accepted it and poured its contents onto his tray and continued searching the food for signs of edibility.
-Max had been moved out of ER to a regular ward since his condition had improved, and was told that soon he may be allowed out, that is if the virus didn't launch another attack on his body.-
As Tyson finished his meals, a kind looking nurse walked into the room and smiled at the two boys,
"How are you feeling Mr. Tate?" She inquired whilst checking his blood pressure.
"Fine, thank you. Um, do you know how my friend is doing? We've been really worried about him." Max took Tyson's hand as he was given an injection.
"I'm sorry Max, I'll try to find out for you, but Dr. Sirob Voklab is in charge of him I'm afraid." She put away the syringe and began re-bandaging his arm.
"Oh. If you find out, please tell us." Said Tyson. The nurse finished with Max's arm and smiled before walking out of the room,
"I'll be back at lunch with your meal and to run a few more tests." She closed the door behind her, leaving the two boys alone. Tyson sighed and turned on the TV,
"I hope you get out soon, this place is boring." Max looked down at him,
"Tyson, you don't have to stay if you don't want. Your not stuck here." Tyson didn't look away from the TV and continued flicking through the channels.
"Maxie, I'm not gonna leave you here alone, who'll eat your leftovers and keep you company?" Max smiled,
"Thanks Tyson." Tyson turned away from the screen and walked over to Max's bed and hugged him,
"That's what I'm here for buddy."
Their attention turned to the door, as it was creaked open revealing Kenny and Hilary, who proceeded into the room as they saw that both residents of the room were awake.
"Hey guys." Hilary greeted, "Feeling any better Max?" Max nodded
"Yeah, quite a lot better thank you."
"Good morning Tyson, Max." Kenny took a seat next to Hilary on the empty bed in the room.
"We went to see if we could visit Rei, but currently Kai is the only person allowed to see him." Kenny said as he began work on Dizzi as usual. Tyson got back to looking through the channels,
"Why is Kai the only one who can see him?" He asked stopping on some spy film of sorts and turning back to his friends.
"Maybe Rei doesn't want many visitors right now." Hilary said shrugging. Tyson nodded and sat next to Max on his bed,
"Mind if I sit here Maxie?" He asked. Max shook his head and leant against his friend as they both began to watch the screen.
"Man, don't they have any good channels on this thing?" As the movie ended, Tyson began to flick through the channels again.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. This is boring." Agreed Max, receiving nods from all present.
"Hey guys, I've got a great idea! Why don't we play monopoly or something, that's a great way to pass time." Said Kenny.
"Ok."
"Great, I'll go get mine from my house, be back in a few minutes." They waved Kenny goodbye as he ran out the door.
As he said, in a few minutes, he was back and they began playing. This passed the time and before they knew it, the sky had darkened and the night had fallen into place.
Where Rei and Kai are
Rei blinked open his eyes as a cold wind blew through an open window and around the room. As he looked around, his eyes lay upon the sleeping teen next to him. He reached over and weakly began stroking Kai's slate hair,
"Thank you Kai, thank you for not leaving me." He whispered to his sleeping love. As he began to pull his arm back from Kai, a sharp pain shot through his body causing him to scream and curl up into a ball on his bed. Kai's crimson eyes shot open as he heard Rei's cry of pain. He was immediately knelt down on the bed, hugging Rei tightly to his chest.
"Rei, Rei!!! Come on, relax, I'm here." Rei gripped his koi as tears and sweat ran rapidly down his face.
"K-Kai, help me." He screamed desperately trying to stop the pain. Suddenly a doctor with purple hair and likewise eyes and a tall, blonde nurse burst in the door. The nurse ran over the Rei and injected a clear liquid into his arm, which in soon calmed the neko down. The doctor walked over to Kai,
"Mr. Hiwatari, I will have to examine Rei alone. I will send a nurse when you can go see him." He ushered the Russian out the room and into the hall.
Once out in the long, white corridor, Kai decided to wait in Max's room and inform his team of this resent turn of events, of course leaving out the kiss. He got directions from the woman at the desk and went along another identical corridor to Max's room. All attention turned to Kai as he walked in the door. Everyone's attention was quickly away from the game as the new occupant sat down on the empty bed.
"Hey Kai, what's going on? I thought you were with Rei." Tyson fired questions, oblivious of Kai's worried state.
"Rei, he-he, the virus-" Kenny cut him off seeing that he was too distraught to go on,
"We understand." He said, knowing that they'd all seen it before. Kai rested his head in his hands and bit his lip,
"Don't worry Kai," Hilary said placing a friendly hand on his shoulder, "Rei will be fine." Max joined in,
"Yeah Kai, he's strong, he'll get better." Tyson smiled at his friend's kind attempt to cheer Kai up then turned back to the distraught teenager.
"You ok buddy?" He asked showing no attempt to hide his concern. Kai looked up at him and wiped a tear from his eye,
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just-" He looked down again as he was cut off by his own train of thought,
"Well, I think we should be heading off," Kenny said, he and Hilary journeying to the door. "You guys should probably get some rest soon too." He added as an after thought before leaving and closing the door quickly behind him.
Tyson got up from his seat,
"Well, I'm off to the bathroom." He said walking out the door. Once the blunette was out the room, Max turned to Kai who was lying on the bed, desperately trying to fight back tears. He smiled slightly at the slate-haired teen,
"You really care about him, don't you?" Kai sat up and looked at Max with his deep crimson eyes, he looked down and nodded,
"In the same way you love Tyson." Max looked at Kai, startled by his comment,
"How-how did you know?" He asked confused and shocked.
"You don't exactly hide it well." Kai replied bluntly.
"Oh." Was all Max could get out before going deep into thought, 'Kai knows? I thought I hid it. Does everyone know?' He looked up at Kai,
"Uh, Kai? How do I know if he feels the same way?" He asked nervously. He smiled slightly,
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" He signalled to the door where Tyson now was standing. Max looked up and gasped at his friend's sudden presence.
"T-Tyson." He stuttered. Tyson face lit up,
"This is how you know." He ran to Max's bed and embraced him in a deep kiss, which Max soon returned. As they broke, they looked into each other's eyes,
"I love you Maxie."
"I love you too Tyson." They kissed again and Kai turned away and lay down on his bed.
"Sweet." He muttered under his breath before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
The Next Day
Max's eyes shot open at the sound of the door being opened; he half sat up and looked in the direction of the door. He looked just in time to see Kai's foot through the gap between the door and the wall. He was about to turn to Tyson as he saw a familiar face walk down the hall. Boris. He quickly turned to Tyson and began shaking his shoulder,
"Tyson, Tyson. Boris is here, I just saw him walk down the hall!" Tyson opened his eyes as Max shouted in his ear,
"What's up Maxie?" He asked sleepily.
"Boris is here!" Max shouted pulling himself out of bed. Tyson was immediately up to help him,
"Max, we've got to hurry. We have no idea what he's up to, for all we know, he could be after Kai." Tyson said as he half carried Max down the hall. "Where do you think he'll have gone?" Tyson asked as he reached a bunch of new corridors.
"That's it!" Max exclaimed, "Boris must've gone to Rei's room." Tyson nodded and ran down a corridor to the ER ward. He saw Boris ahead turning a corner into another corridor identical to all the others. Tyson's eyes gleamed as he saw something out of the corner of his eye. A stretcher. He ran over to it and laid Max down on it, before hopping on the end and pushing off down the corridor. They got there just in time to hear Kai scream. They rushed into the room. It was dark as none of the curtains were open and the light was off. You could just make out several pieces of smashed life support machinery in the gloom. Rei lay on the bed hardly breathing as Kai attempted to nurse the stab wound that was deep in Rei's stomach. The two new tenants made to run over to Kai, but stopped when they heard a key click behind them. They turned to see Boris standing there fiddling with the key to the room in his fingers. He smiled his evil smile and walked away from the door to Rei. Max and Tyson immediately began banging on the door and attempting to call for help, but none came.
Kai glared as Boris neared his love and growled as the evil man ran his fingers through the neko's hair.
"Stay away from him!" Kai warned clenching his fists at the thought of what Boris had done to Rei. Boris smirked and brought out a knife. He began to run it up against Rei's cheek causing the boy to wince in his unconscious state. Kai hugged Rei protectively,
"Stop that, haven't you done enough damage?" He screamed, hot tears running down his face.
"What's wrong Kai? I'm just putting him out of his misery." Boris moved nearer to Kai, but the teen didn't move. Boris drew the bloodstained knife in front of Kai's face, causing him to back away. As soon as Kai was a reasonable distance away from him, Boris quickly turned to Rei and brought the knife up above him. As Kai saw this, he ran towards Boris and as soon as he was within arm's span, Boris moved the knife and made a very deep slash across Kai's chest and stomach. The slate haired boy fell to his knees as blood poured out the wound.
"You-you bastard!" He said as loudly as he could. Max's eyes widened as he saw this. He ran towards Kai.
"You stay out of this!" Boris shouted as he threw the knife at Max, it impacted with the boy's knee hard. He screamed and fell to the ground. Tyson ran to Max's side,
"Boris! I'll get you for that!" He rushed forward at his enemy and grabbing a metal pole on his way, hit the evil man square on the head, knocking him out instantly. As Boris fell, he picked up a shard of glass from the floor and made a slash up the bottom of Tyson's leg before blacking out.
Tyson pulled himself across the floor to Max's side. He looked into Max's blue eyes, now so full of pain. Max looked up at Tyson and hugged him,
"Tyson," He cried, "Thank you." Tyson weakly smiled and hugged Max back,
"It's gonna be ok Maxie, it's all gonna be ok." Tyson looked away and turned to the unconscious Rei and Kai. He would've helped them, but his eyes were feeling heavy, as he closed them, covering up his dark blue orbs, he heard the door smash open. He could here people rushing around him, he could feel Max being moved from his side, and then he blacked out.
