Chapter 2

A Danger to Himself

Kai's POV

I had gotten Rei to quiet down and go back to sleep, watching him sleeping underneath the blankets of the hospital bed curled into a little ball. The scared look on his face gone now and seeming nothing more than an innocent child now. I looked back to the doctor who had been called into the room after the commotion.

"Hey doc you going to tell us anything or are you just going to stand there staring?" Tyson said. Idiot, no patience whatsoever.

"I'm afraid I have bad news boys. It seems your friend bumped his head pretty hard. He has amnesia and doesn't remember anything before the accident. I'm sorry to say that he doesn't remember a single one of you." He said taking off his glasses to clean them.

"WHAT?" Tyson exclaimed. "….Well he seemed to remember Kai just fine!" It was apparent that he was annoyed that Rei remembered me and not him or one of the other boys.

"Tell me Kai, did Rei see you before he fell unconscious?"

"Yeah…I ran into the street and he was laying there dazed. He stared at me for a moment then went out cold." I explained and the doctor nodded.

"It seems that Rei has formed a bond with you Kai. Most likely you'll be the only person he's going to trust for a very awhile." The doctor said.

"Then what's to be done about Rei?" Max asked.

"Like I said Rei has forgotten everything about himself and others. He won't be able to care for himself and with the state of mind he's in he wouldn't be able to tell a friend from a foe. Life lessons he may have learned of people are gone. I'm not even sure if he'll regain his memory. There's no real way to tell. He could easily become a danger to himself and maybe even others. I have to leave him in someone's care or else he would have to stay at the hospital and that certainly wouldn't be in his best interest. I….I would like to leave him in Kai's care." The doctor said, hesitantly, he apparently sensing Tyson's hatred towards Kai.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?" Tyson screamed much to the surprise of several patients and nurses outside. "I'm not leaving one of my best friends in the care of that sick freak."

"Did you know you're idiocy shows when you open your mouth?" I said coolly. "There's no one else who can take care of him. I'm the only one he trusts and if he's left with any one else, there's no telling what he'll do. If someone you didn't even know told you to do something would you really do it?"

Tyson stood there dumbfounded. He then sighed, "Fine but you hurt him I swear I'll kill you."

"Shut-up Tyson or else you'll do something else to embarrass yourself." I said and turned back to the sleeping Rei.

Later that evening everyone filled out of the room but I stayed there. I had no where to go and no one to wonder where I was so I stayed there. I was waiting for Rei to wake up. He'd been through so much in so little time and I was scared for him. He had lost everything he had ever known in the blink of an eye and now he was entrusted to me. The most hated bastard on the planet. I can barely take care of myself and now I have to take care of someone else.

What was I supposed to do? I lived in a small one bedroom apartment, I worked full time at a small restaurant, and barely made enough to pay rent, utilities, and feed myself. What was I going to do! Do I make enough to care for two people? Can Rei stay by himself while I work and if not how will I be able to get money? Not to mention Rei's hospital bills! Who was going to pay those?

The more I thought, the more questions rose and more problems came with them. I didn't know what to do and I had no one to turn to! I had no family except for maybe Voltaire but he was a lost cause, I might be able to ask Max or maybe Kenny but it just didn't seem right. We had been out of contact for quite a while and to just suddenly show up asking for money…it didn't sit well with me.

I reached out and brushed away some of the hair in Rei's face and sighed. "It'll be alright." I said, why I'm not sure but I felt that the moment needed it. I decided to try and stop worrying so much, I'd figure it out sooner or later. I blinked as I watched him his eyes slowly open.

"Rei?" I asked softly as he blinked several times and looked to me.

"Who…Who are you?"

"It's me, Kai."

"Kai…" he said softly, "Kai…"

END CHAPTER

At one time I actually had this chapter written but just as I was about to finish it my computer crashed and didn't save. Imagine my disappointment when I realized not a single word had been saved and I had to rewrite it. Anyways after that I kind of lost interest because I was so pissed off, then I had to play musical computers with computers after my cat peed on my computer a while back and until tonight I never really got back into it. I know this is a short chapter but hopefully you won't have to wait so long for the next one. Again apologies and I hope you liked reading it as much as I did writing it. Love ya, Screamarie.
