Forever

Chapter 8. The hospital

Rei ran up the stairs as soon as they found out which floor Kai was on. He asked the people on that floor which room he was in and went into it with one of the doctors. Kai was laid on the bed with his eyes closed. The doctor and Rei walked to the side, the others following. Rei sat down on the chair at the side. Kai opened one eye and looked at Rei. Rei smiled at him, thankful he was all right as tears dwelled up in his eyes. Kai then looked at Tyson, Mystel, and flinched when he was the girl who passed him that night. He then looked back at Rei. He had a black eye that was too swollen to open, lots of cuts and bruises, from what Rei could tell one of the people chasing him had a knife. Kai then looked back at Ruia.

"Are you ok?" He asked her. She nodded slightly. "Good." She walked to his other side. "How did you get here?"

"I went into the dojo as I passed it, I couldn't keep running any longer and I thought it best I stopped there, I fainted when someone opened the door though, I made a dress for myself out of the blankets, my clothes where still wet. Are you going to be ok? Your not badly hurt are you?" She asked he shook his head. He turned to Rei again.

"Thanks for saving me, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't come, I might've died," The girl gasped a little. "It was a gang created by a person on my old team, we weren't on good terms when I left them, I guess he wanted to get his own back. Rei, come closer, there's something I want you to know," Rei bent down so that he could hear Kai more clearly. "Closer," Rei went down so that his head was next to Kai's. He felt Kai kiss him on the cheek. "Thanks for everything." Rei swore his face was about as red as a coke can. He heard Mystel snicker slightly. He sat up again looking at the floor.

"Umm…" He shifted his gaze to Kai, quickly looking elsewhere. "Your very welcome." He replied before pecking Kai on the cheek. He looked at Tyson and Mystel out the corner of his eye; they were both snickering slightly. Ruia stood up smiling. I then noticed her dress; she literally had just cut armholes and a head hole in a piece of round tablecloth and tied some string round her waist. She walked to where Tyson and Mystel were.

"We'll go find the drinks machine, be back soon." She said pushing them out the door. I smiled and turned back to Kai.

"So…when will you be back out?" Rei asked rubbing the back of his head and mentally calling himself an cowered.

"Soon, maybe tomorrow or the next day. I have a scar that opened up on my front, they said they'll have to stitch it because it either got worse or I should have had it stitched when I got it. I refused to tell them how I got it though, they asked why and I just said I couldn't remember." Kai replied. Rei remembered the scar Kai had. It went from his left collarbone all the way down to his right hip. Kai said he got it from an incident at the abbey and would rather not talk about it at the time. Rei understood and left it at that. He couldn't help wonder what happened though. Kai noticed this obviously. "I wasn't exactly the best behaved child, I eventually did something so bad that they whipped me until I bled, and bled, and bled. They left me in a small room, they put some ointment on it and left it to heal. I got taken out as soon as it showed signs of a proper scab. They still refused to stitch it…that was their intention…I managed to escape with a tactic I learned.

"I ate less and less each day until I had enough spare food to last me about a week. They thought I was dead because I stopped eating the food they sent in. they opened the door and I knocked them out easily. That was the day a escaped. I stole the money I could find, and snuck into Boris's room, taking the money out the safe. I left, came to Japan, and lived here…I formed the blade sharks and then met Tyson…he was battling the person who was the leader of that gang I got beaten by. I couldn't stand up, I'd twisted my ankle badly, so I simply let them beat me." He finished and looked up, then looked at something in his hand. "I didn't think I was going to survive, the rate they where going at, I never thought someone would be out there that late at night."

Rei couldn't hold the next question in; it slipped out his mouth without permission. "What did you think of before you got knocked unconscious?" Kai looked at him with a questionable face. Rei held his breath, bracing himself. "I got told, that when you feel like your going into a unconscious state, you might think of the thing you love the most, it could be anything, an animal, food in Tyson's case, a person," Rei blushed at that word. "Anything, what did you think of?" Kai smiled at Rei's obvious uncomfort. He shut his eye.

"What did I think of?" He looked at Rei again Rei nodded gulping slightly. "At first it was the back of someone's head, they had long raven black hair that reached their knees, then, when they turned round and called my name, I saw beautiful pools of golden and a beautiful smile," Rei was bright red again. Kai smiled. "Fill in the blanks." Rei shut his eyes tight, unable to hold it in anymore. He hugged Kai, who almost fell of the bed; he had sat up while they where there. Kai put his arms on Rei's back, unsure about what to do. Rei was crying hard and hugging him tightly.

"Oh Kai, I was so worried, I thought you where as sure as dead when I found you lying there, you weren't even breathing right! I was so worried, I didn't know what to do, I was glad for the first aid Mao had taught me in China! I'm so sorry about lying to you, I will never lie to you again, I promise!" Kai pulled Rei into a proper hug, cradling him softly, shushing his tears away.

"Shush, I'm fine…I owe my live to you, I forgive you for lying, it's not your fault, I understand that. I'm sorry for being so childish." Kai went to kiss Rei's forehead just as Rei looked up. Their lips collided with bruising force as the two sat in shock. Kai shut his eyes and deepened the Kiss, snapping Rei out his thoughts. Rei kissed back, rapping his arms round Kai's neck. They separated and Rei smiled at Kai.

"If only we weren't in a hospital." He said Kai smiled back.

"Well you are, so get of Kai's lap lover boy and into the car down stairs, visiting hours finished five minutes ago." Rei and Kai blush, Rei lighting up the room as he tried to catch his laughing friend.

"MYSTEL!"
