Heh, I know, I know, a month is a long time to abandon my account for, but I did get tonsillitis and I have a skating comp coming up, also I would like to point out that I want some opinions on wanted view points, the first Guard who admits them self to Kai, minor plot factors etc. for upcoming chapters. I own nothing but the plot and some polos.

Kai's and Rei's Pov this time peeps.

Kai Pov

walking the last road of my route home I wondered what was wrong with Rei, coughing up blood was a bad thing in anyone's book, why hadn't he told anyone?

think on it master Kai, why would you not tell anyone about being ill

...well.. because.. they'd treat me differently I hate needing help

and how would you hide it?

.. I'd be colder to people, ignore them more... like ... like Rei was this morning..

and being ill makes you grouchier anyway

does not!

My discussion with Dranzer reached this point as I rounded the last corner of my walk, there was someone leaving the house. It was Hillary, damm, I was hoping that they'd have all calmed down by this point so that I'd get a chance to talk to Rei, or at least yell at him.

p

Why is she here?

She wished to talk to Rei, she was worried about him, she cares very deeply for him. ah, Dranzer ever the voice of reason, what reasoning I really wasn't sure, and now didn't seem much like the time to find out. I continued to the house.

Inside it was quiet in a way I can't ever remember it being with all of us inside during the daytime. I walked along the hallway trying to work out where they all were, I wasn't going to call out in case Rei was resting or something, plus calling out worried while looking for people doesn't exactly do wonders for your image.

Eventually I heard muffled voices and followed them to the others, they were all in the living room, Rei was curled up on the sofa, asleep, I assumed. The other three were crowded around Kenny's laptop. That was surprising, I'd expected to find them crowding around Rei in a strange twisted attempt to make him better.

As it was they could of even been helping by giving him quiet and rest. However any room with Tyson in it was hardly ideal for sleeping. This was proved as the blue haired lout suddenly decided to exclaim loudly.

"aww man! This sucks! You sure you can't get the first half of their conver..." at this Max and Kenny both covered Tyson's mouth with a hand. It looked like Rei was about to wake up, he rolled onto his front.

Rei's PoV

I wasn't aware that I had fallen asleep, but evidently I had. I'd been curled up in a way I hadn't been since I was much younger, sleeping like that made breathing awkward...

It felt like surfacing from deep water after a dive, the slow rising into wakefulness was cut short. An upward jerk, coughing, breathless, cold, disorientated. But without the adrenaline rush that came from diving from enough height to create that breathlessness.

I was coughing a great deal and I hadn't worked out where I was, my eyes weren't focusing, slowly I became aware of a warmth on my back, a hand, gently rubbing circles, and a voice trying to coax me to breathe

"Rei, calm down breathe slow,out... in..." Wolfie? He looked after me, that I knew, but.. no.. I wasn't staying with Wolfie and any way he called me Kitten.. or baby tiger.. I should of known, who it was.. I felt really out of it, at least some part of me was listening to the continued presence of the voice, my breathing was almost regular, I moved backwards, towards the body behind me. It tensed and I was about to spring away but the hand was back on my shoulder and it stopped me moving forwards. A person slowly swam into my vision, Kenny, standing in front of me offering a mug of water, I still hadn't worked out who was behind me.

"You ok Rei?" asked the brunette, he handed me the mug, I grasped it between shaking hands and the cold ceramic knocked against my teeth as I gulped down the water. I saw Max and Tyson sitting across the room looking worried. that would mean that behind

I tried to jump forward, but the hand on my shoulder once again stopped me going any where, then Kai's voice, I recognized it now.

"Sit still idiot, I don't think your legs will carry you yet and I don't want you to extend your recovery time by breaking your sorry nose on the floor."

Kai's PoV

Rei must of been further out of it than I realized, it took him several moments to process what I had said, before he finished thinking Tyson turned to Max.

"Either Kai has developed a sense of humour or he actually cares about Rei getting better" I would have cut back with a scathing remark- I would of ! But Rei once again tried to get up, Tyson looked worried,

"Rei dude, where are you going?" it looked as though Rei wasn't sure of the answer, he'd gotten even paler and was shaking again, I had to talk to him about this, we were taking him to a doctor or bringing one to him if need be by tomorrow at the latest.

"I'm going to bed..." Rei pulled himself to his feet and swayed slightly ".. sorry Kai ... I screwed up practice... I'll catch up i promise" Rei had somehow made it to the door, he was leaning on the frame. Did he really think I cared about Drigger's defence when his owner was coughing up blood? Rei turned to leave and i made a decision, amid Rei's protest and the looks of astonishment on my team-mates faces i walked over to the door, picked up Rei and proceeded to carry him to his room.

"You really are an idiot, you'll never make it upstairs alone and you know it."

and with that I leave you... I hope this explained at least abit, I have decided OST for chapter seven was "because of you" Nickleback

Ciao.. Thank you to all the people who reviewed! I will be back after I've written my GCSE history cswk..
