A/N: Sorry for the late update guys! Finals just finished and well.. I was recovering from too much studying! Heheeh… anyway… here is Chapter 13!

Chapter 13

I sighed again. We were now standing along the coast waiting for Mr. D to arrive with their boat. We're going home… except nobody is actually happy right now. Not that we didn't want to go home… but… I averted my gaze to my right… Kai hasn't woken up yet… and what scares me is that… he might never at all…

"Hey guys! There's Mr. D!" Takao exclaimed. "C'mon Rei, help me with Kai here,"

Rei nodded as he went over to the blue-haired boy. "Ready?" They lifted the 'stretcher' Kai was on and proceeded on getting him on the boat.

I felt Max nudge my shoulder and I look up, he gave out a small smile, "We should go now too,"

I nod as I stand up and dust myself off.

"Hey Hilary!"

I turn my head and see Kinosuke and his sister running towards us. Maybe they want to say goodbye? I should ask them to come back with us… hmm… nah… he already refused that offer…"Hey Kinosuke,"

"Aa, so you're leaving now huh?" He gave out a toothy grin.

"Yes," I nod. Oh wait… "I haven't thanked you for saving me have i?"

Kinosuke shook his head in embarrassment. "Nah, don't worry about it…"

"I insist," I grin, a sad grin.

Kinosuke's eyes widened as I went on my tiptoes and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"That is to thank you for saving me," I smile.

Kinosuke blinked, "At last I see your genuine smile again,"

I felt heat rise up to my cheeks, "Um… ah thanks… I guess,"

He grinned at me, as he held out his hand, "Well, I guess this is goodbye then,"

"I guess so…" I agreed as I shook his hand.

He turned around to go, "You should go now too, their waiting for you,"

I nodded. Yes they were waiting for me. But I don't want to go just yet. "Hey Kinosuke!" I call to him.

He turned his head to acknowledge my call, an eyebrow raised.

"Thanks a lot! For everything!" I shout to him, as he shakes his head and waves goodbye for the last time.

I smile at his retreating back. Really. Thank you so much for everything… Kinosuke-kun… I turn around as I make my way to the boat.

"Hey Takao! Get the hell off that chair!" I yell to them as I climb the boat. I giggled as I hear the familiar noise indicating that Takao has fallen over. Silly boy.

I turned to Rei and the guys who were up at the cabin, "I'll be there in a minute!" The others nodded.

"She's back to her old bossy self now?" Takao asked the neko-jin as he stood up, rubbing his sore head.

Rei grinned at him, "Isn't it a good thing?"

Takao's eyes narrowed. "Well yes, but then she'll go into bossy mode again once we get home… and her wrath wasn't one thing I missed about her not being there at all,"

Rei blinked as Takao's face kissed the floor.

"I heard that you lazy ass!"

Rei looked up at me and blinked some more. "I guess… Takao got what he deserved then,"

I nod in victory as I prod his unmoving head with my foot, "Of course, and besides bossing you guys around was the thing I missed the most being away," I grin as Rei shakes his head.

Even for just a few minutes. Let me forget about my problems… Even for just a few minutes… let me forget about Kai.

-

"Excuse me guys… I'm just going to go check on Kai…" I announce as I stand up from the dining table.

Takao answered with a muffled 'ok' while the others just nodded. Rei placed down his fork and stood up after me, he gave me a small smile, "I'm coming too, I'm kinda worried,"

Ha, caring little Rei, well I guess he should come. Something might happen. "Ok then, c'mon," We make our way through the corridor to Kai's room.

I pull the door open quietly, and sneak in, Rei following behind me. Well our top priority is to make him wake up, but not by force.

"I guess he's still good," I reassure Rei. Well he is still breathing. And we are almost home. And that's good news. If… it stays that way.

Rei shook his head, "You're right, I guess there is nothing to worry about at all then…" Rei pulled up a chair and offered me a seat which I gladly took, he then took another one and sat himself on it, "When we get back, we can finally send him to a hospital, then we'll just have to wait for him to recover and then everything will be back to normal,"

I nod. That's right, I look out the small window as I reached to stroke the sleeping teens hair, we'll be home soon. I averted my gaze back to Kai. So… he'll need to hold on until then.

"I'm going back to check on the guys, are you going to be okay here by yourself Hilary?" Rei asked me, standing up.

"Yeah, you should check up on them, who know what Takao might be up to right now," I grin at him.

"Yea…" He repeated as he reached to grab the doorknob.

"Kai!" I exclaim excitedly. Just now. Just now… he moaned just now! Oh wait, was that supposed to be a good thing? Moaning means he's hurting or something. Darn it. Why now? "Rei! Kai's hurting!" I think…

Rei stayed frozen to the spot for a moment but then regained his wits and quickly made his way to my side, "Are you sure?"

Am I sure! Look at his face! Look at his face! Do you think he's okay! I wanted to lash out at him, except 1) this wasn't the right time and 2) Kai might be dying. For real.

He turned around and slammed the door open. "I'll get Mr. D and the guys!"

I nod as I take Kai's hand, gripping it tightly.

You can't die now. Oh great I've been repeating those accursed words for a long time now. And it's all because you always get into trouble. Stupid Kai. If you die now I'll never forgive you. A single tear made its way down my cheek. If you really do die, I promise to hunt you down when I die. Augh… What the hell am I saying! I grip Kai's hand tighter, if that was possible and spoke with a quivering voice.

"Its going to be okay… you're going to be okay…" Please…

"Kai!" The others barged into the room, led by Rei.

"Did anything happen while I was gone?" Rei asked anxiously.

I shook my head, as I quickly wipe my tears away, "N-no. No problem he—"

"AUGGHH!"

Our heads shot up.

"KAI!"

A/N: Yes I keep leaving cliffies and oh-no-Kai's-going-to-die scenes… well I love torturing Hilary-chan… anyway will Kai die? Will they reach the hospital in time? Will romance brew up between Hilary and Rei? (because of Kai's absence yes I am evil) Or will Hilary and Kai finally get their happy ending? Will I ever stop giving away my plot? Who knows… anyway thanks for reading!

review equals update!
