Bffimagine: Okay! I'm back now! My head doesn't hurt anymore!

Kai: Thank goodness…

Rei awoke to the sound of blood splattering heavily to the ground. He opened his eyes immediately when he heard Kai's strangled cry of pain.

"KAI!" Rei yelled, but he couldn't see very well because he was still very tired. He managed to glance at the clock and read it; 2:14 am. 'Who is that person? He has a knife… He's hurting Kai… I can't see well with all of this blood… I think I need to throw up…'

Kai heard Rei yell his name, but was in too much pain to answer. The knife just kept ripping at him; slashing open every aspect until nothing was left uncut. He felt the warm, sickening trickle of blood down his spine.

Barely alive, Kai opened one eye enough to see the midnight blue hair of his attacker. This blue-haired figure then took a heavy, metal object and hit Kai's head as hard as it could. Kai heard a loud 'CRACK' before his world turned black.

Rei managed to wake up, after slipping around to the blood that soaked the floor. The walls were so thick the other bladers and Kenny didn't hear a sound, but Rei had heard it all. He DID share the room with Kai, and at any point would hear something.

'Who is that?' He asked himself, steadying his slipping feet on the edge of his bed. 'Blue hair…'

"TYSON!" Rei screamed, pouncing rather cat-like on Kai's assaulter, whom Rei thought was his friend.

"Rei? GET OFF ME!" The attacker replied harshly.

"NO! YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL KAI!"

"WHY WOULDN'T I?"

"WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU?"

"HE'S A BASTARD! THAT'S WHAT!"

"HE SAVED US ALL MORE TIMES THAN YOU CAN COUNT! YOU KNOW IT TYSON!"

"NAME ONE!"

"HE SAVED US FROM THE ABBEY!"

"YEAH? WELL KENNY COULD'VE GOTTEN US OUT!"

"WE'D BE DEAD BY THEN!"

"WELL, KAI'LL BE DEAD ABOUT NOW!"

"WHAT DID YOU DO!"

"If he doesn't die from the concussion I gave him, he'll die from the injuries. Or both." Tyson's mouth twisted into a blood lusting smile.

"KAI! Wake up! Don't fall asleep! Please!" Rei started to panic soon after Tyson's full account of what he did to Kai.

"Rei? I can't…" Kai whispered weakly.

"YES YOU CAN! STAY AWAKE!"

"I can't…"

Tyson smirked again. Rei closed his eyes in disgust.

"Stay awake! We can't lose you Kai! We can't!"

"He won't live and you know it!" Tyson laughed, "He's just about gone. Say your last words now KAI!"

"Rei," Kai murmured softly, "I love you."

Kai's blood red eyes closed and his breathing slowed. Kai had fought his last.

"Don't die. Please don't die."

Tyson's laughter increased, "YOU SEE REI? NO ONE LIVES FOREVER, EVEN COLD PEOPLE LIKE KAI!"

"SHUT UP TYSON!" Rei hollered. He eyes turned a demonic red, and he cracked his fingers. Lunging toward Tyson, he pinned the larger boy down in one swift movement.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING REI?" Max shouted, horrified at what he saw. Rei looked murderous and Tyson had a look of absolute fear in his eyes.

The demonic red faded from Rei's eyes, and instead was replaced by tears. "H-he k-killed K-Kai," Rei choked, "Tyson k-killed K-Kai."

Kenny gasped. He ran over to Kai's bloody body and checked for a pulse. He checked Kai's breathing.

"He's not dead Rei. He's in a coma. His pulse is very faint. He's barely breathing, but he's alive."

Rei got up off of Tyson and carefully walked toward Kai. "You can't leave us now, you're our leader."

Tyson got up as well, turned, and walked away. Max and Kenny approached Rei, but they got put down with a "Please, leave. I want to be alone." The blond and the brown-haired boys left the room.

Rei traced his fingers lightly over Kai's pale face. He traced his fingers over the firm muscles of Kai's body, gently brushing against them with his fingertips.

"You're so beautiful. Even if your eyes aren't open. I love you Kai. Don't leave me now. Please."

Washing the blood off of Kai was difficult. More blood just kept flowing. It was impossible to avoid the cuts because there wasn't anything NOT cut. Rei finally gave up and laid cool, damp towels over Kai's body to soak up the blood. He had to change them about every thirty seconds because the white towels were no longer white. They were completely soaked through to every corner, every edge in blood.

"Where am I?" Kai asked into the void of nothingness around him. It was a strange place; blank, but not white nor black. There was no colour, but what was he looking at then?

"You're in the place where you're stuck in between life and death."

"Who said that?" Kai interrogated further.

"I'm your guardian angel."

"Why can't I see you?"

"You can. Actually, you're looking at me right now."

Kai shifted his gaze slightly, just so he could see a speck of light floating around in the air.

"Is that you?" Kai asked the speck.

"Yep."

"Okay then. Why am I here?"

"To decide if you want to give up hope and die, or fight to live. This is a place of struggle. If you give up, you won't have a chance of living, but if you fight, there's a 50 chance of life for you."

Kai thought for less that a second. He immediately made his choice.

'Why am I fighting to live,

If I'm just living to fight?

Why am I trying to see,

When there ain't nothing in sight?

Why am I trying to give,

When no one gives me a try?

Why am I dying to live,

If I'm just living to die?
