LITS: Hello. First things first, I want to say that I'm really sorry for
the super long delay. I just lost my inspiration for this story and I
couldn't concentrate. I wouldn't blame you for being pissed off at me and
I'm sorry but I'll try and make up for it. I'll also try and update the
next chapter before I leave for vacation on Friday.

~~~In Japan~~~
Rei sighed and put down his book. He had been reading it for the past hour and hadn't even gotten past the first sentence. When was Max going to call? How was his mother? Were they alright? No, I refuse to worry about that little masochist.
"Bothering you, isn't it?" asked Tyson, his eyes never leaving his beyblade. Rei looked at him suspiciously.
"What do you mean?" Tyson shrugged.
"It's been three days and Max still hasn't called. Do you think his mother is okay?" Rei snorted.
"I don't care. It's Max's business, not ours." Rei retorted dryly. Tyson frowned and looked at him.
"What?! Rei, what the hell's gotten into you? You're sounding more and more like Kai every day!" Tyson said incredulously. Rei rolled his eyes.
"I don't need this from you, Tyson. Just leave me alone."
"Tyson, please leave. Rei and I have something to talk about." Said Kai's icy voice. Tyson glared down at Rei before leaving the room.
"What do you want?" Kai sat down next to him. Rei opened his mouth to speak but the words caught in his throat. Kai's eyes held worry and fear, something he thought Kai hadn't even known.
"I called Max's mother. She's not sick and she hasn't heard from Max or Josh for two days. She's filed a missing report."
"What?" Kai nodded.
"They're missing. Did Max say anything to you before he left?" I shook my head. I feel numb. Missing? How can Max be missing? No, he's probably doing this for attention or something. That's why he cuts and purges. For attention.
"No. He's probably doing this on purpose or-" With a loud thump, I was on the floor, Kai standing over me, anger visibly etched on his face. I gingerly touched the side of my face. Kai had actually punched me?
"Whatever the fuck you think he's doing, forget it! He's not doing this on purpose! Do you seriously fucking think that Max would run away?" I glared at Kai and got up.
"I don't know anymore. . ."
"We're talking about Max here!" I got up, god, I was so confused.
"I know but. . .Kai, he does stuff to himself. He doesn't care what people think anymore." Kai's eyes softened and the anger disappeared.
"Rei. You don't know the whole story. Max must have a reason or something. Wait till you see him again before jumping to conclusions. I just hope he's alright." He said before turning to leave.
"But he cu-" Kai shook his head and held up a hand.
"If Max wants me to know, he'll tell me when he's ready. I can wait. Maybe you should too." Said Kai. I just stood there, dumb struck, as Kai left. But, didn't he care that Max was steadily starving himself and slicing away at his arm? How could he just stand there and not do anything? I don't understand. My thoughts drifted back to Max. ** Sorry, but you'd hate me if you knew the truth, you really wouldn't understand."** I was doing what Max had feared, jumping to conclusions. God, he would never forgive me?! I feel like such an asshole! Gods, Max, please, please, come back to me. . . .~~~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
LITS: Sorry for the shortish chap, I'm working on the other right now. ^^ Cya.
