Hey peoples, sorry it's taken mega ages to update, during the last two months I've lost the notebook I write the story in and killed my computer, oh and had seemingly endless coursework for my GCSEs and practice tests for the AS paper. Anyway, my sincere apologies for lateness and my undying gratitude to those who emailed me telling me to get writing, I own nothing, on with the fic.

"What did you say Hillary?" asked Max, tugging on the girls elbow as she lifted Rei's head up off the ground

"Not now Max ! get me some water!" she snapped ignoring the looks from the bladebreakers

"why?" asked the blond, Hillary did not respond, she moved Rei onto his side and muttered in a foreign language as she gently swept the hair off his face, there was blood around his mouth and nose, Kenny handed her a bottle, she nodded her thanks and began washing Rei's face clean, she whispered something into his ear and his eyes flicked open, flashing gold he snapped something in the language the others now assume to be Chinese and sat up suddenly, he swayed slightly Hillary muttered something which probably translated as a half hearted insult, Rei glared, then started coughing again

"Rei?" asked Kenny, he and the other two had got closer and were now kneeling beside Rei, Hillary tried to put a hand on his shoulder, he moved away from her touch.

" ......I'm fine......... ...Really ......... Get off me Ic... Hillary." The black haired teen stood up, shrugging off the girl's hand he took a step forward and.......... collapsed again, luckily for him this time Max and Tyson were close enough to catch him

"woah mate, dun pass out on us again!"

"Lets get you home dude." against many too-weak-to-do-any-good protests the three younger boys proceed to take Rei home. Which left just Kai and Hillary standing beside the dish, Kai stalked off home, (not, of course the same way the others went, a more long and secret way home), this left just Hillary beside the dish, she pulled out a mobile, textd a short message, picked up Drigger and headed after the team

at the house

Kenny Max and Tyson finally got Rei back to the house, he sat on the sofa for a few seconds then got annoyed at his team mates nervously glanceing at him everey other moment

"Have I grown an extra head or somethi # cough cough cough #" fourtunately, at this moment the doorbell rang

"I'll get it, you two stay here" warns Kenny, putting Dizzi down on the sofa. As soon as Kenny left the room, Rei stood up.

"i think I'll go outside for a.." Rei found himself being pushed back onto the sofa which set off a new bout of coughing

"Rei......... what's wrong with you dude?" asked Tyson

"Nothing Tyson... lemme up" Rei struggled against the capped boy, when he found he couldn't succeed he resigned himself to being stuck on the sofa, he curled into a ball and put his hands round his knees, Max and Tyson gently sat down either side of their pale team mate

"fine doesn't usualy include coughing blood and passing out Rei," commented Max gently

"I didn't pass out" was the muffled reply, Max raised an eyebrow

"When a person collapses on the ground and looses consciousness it's generally called passing out,"

stated the blond, gently nudgeing the pale teen trying to get a response

"Don't you know what's wrong dude? ... I mean the BBA has some decent doctors" suggested Tyson

"no doctors. I'm fine." murmured Rei half heartedly, he was staring out the window to avoid eye contact, his ears pricked up slightly, he turned towards the door just as it opened, Kenny and Hillary walk in, Rei glared angrily at the girl, she grinned back unfazed, she shoved Tyson out of the way and sat down next to Rei

"Budge up Ty, i gotta talk to Rei" Rei snapped something in Chinese, Hillary replied calmly, Rei began to argue a response back, this lasted several minuets during which the other three retreated to the far side of the room, Kenny began tapping furiously on Dizzi

"Whatch doing?" asked Max

"Translator." whispered Kenny, he got it working just after Rei was calmed down sufficiently to be on speaking terms with the girl.

"fine, But if you tell Wolfie I'll Kill you" Hillary smirked

"I can't Tell him he's in Russia at the Mo, You're safe Kitten, What if i tell RoseKat?" Rei growled

"You contact her and there won't even be a body..." Rei swirled round, suddenly realizing what his team mates were doing, the boys looked at him sheepishly, they lost his attention however as Hillary left, making a comment in the tones of one talking to a five year old

"You can't do anything about Wolfie finding out Kitten sweetie, I already told him, he needs to know Kiddo."

Rei Paled

Did I change tenses halfway through? More thanks if you review and more apologies for shortness-
