Shadow:Okay guys, I hope you're enjoying this story. I don't have any reviewers to talk about because I just updated about an hour ago. (Anybody who has reviewed in that short period of time is a stalker. ) Read on!

Rei fastened the ties of his shirt. The old kimono he was wearing lay discarded on the floor. He tied his headband and began wrapping his long raven-colored hair. He stopped when he heard banging on the wall. He ran out and saw Seiya and Rika trying to restrain Sage. "What's wrong with her?" Rei asked. Seiya finally got the girl to settle down. "She's been like this. This is the fifth time we've had to restrain her." Rei stared worriedly at Sage. "Isn't there anything we can do to help her?" Seiya and Rika looked at each other, then back at the neko-jin awaiting their answer. "Well, there is one way." Seiya explained to Rei what had to be done. Rei sat on the foot of Sage's bed. "That's the only way?" he asked. Rika nodded. Rei gazed at Sage, looking restless. "Or she'll die," he whispered. Seiya sat next to Rei. "You can do it, Rei." Rei looked at her. "It's the only way. I must." Rika turned away, eyes brimming with tears. Seiya saw this, and followed the old woman. Rei watched Seiya lead Rika into her room and shut the door. Sobs echoed into the room. Rei tried to ignore them. Sage turned on the bed. Rei turned his attention to her. She started to fidget. Rei laid his hand on her shoulder. She quieted down. Rei noticed tear streaks on her face. Imagine the pain... He stroked her kimono. Sage started to toss. Rei grasped her hand, then stood still. He felt cold, very cold. Sage's eyes burst open. "Rei!" The oncoming blast knocked Rei against the wall. He fell on his back, body numb. The room was filled with light. Seiya and Rika burst into the room. Rei tried to stand. Pain shot through every nerve. Sage screamed, sharing Rei'ssuffering. Rei struggled to stay conscious, to no avail. He groaned as the ground rose to meet him.
Shadow: Finally, a short chapter! I hope that wasn't too gruesome.
Max: R&R! Remember, a review a day keeps the freakish Europeans away!
Tyson: and no yaoi!
