Hello everyone! Much love to my first reviewers, darksaphire, Nedunque, Yazzy, Kai's kitty, Black-Dranzer-1119, and Iluvbeyblade. You guys rock! So, thought I'd do a songfic, a song titled Call Me, Call Me, by Yoko Kanno. Gorgeous song. Multiple chapters and what not. Tell me if you like it!

I close my eyes and I keep seeing things
Rainbow waterfalls
Sunny liquid dreams
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Gotta get to you
But I don't know how
Call me call me
Let me know it's alright
Call me call me
Don't you think it's 'bout time
Please won't you call and
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you

Appetizing smells wafted from an open kitchen window in an apartment on the outskirts of downtown Hong Kong. The delicious smells were enough to lure in a small, wiry, green eyed tabby cat. It scrambled through the window and straight to the feet of the apartment's sole occupant. The slim, tan Chinese male, with a head of flowing raven hair, turned his honey-golden eyes away from his stir fry to the pleading emerald eyes of his cat. "Hello, Liang." He was answered with an impatient meow and a twitch of its scruffy tail.

"Okay, okay, I get it!" he chuckled. 22 year old Rei Kon picked out a piece of pork and gave it to Liang, who eagerly accepted.

Turning away from the now satisfied feline licking her chops, he finished the stir fry and put it on a plate to cool. Humming gently to himself, he walked over to close the window, where the sun could be seen setting over the city. It reminded him of the first kiss he had shared with Kai, on that bridge by the city park...

Abruptly, he shook himself out of his reverie. That was the past, and it was best left alone. He returned to his now pleasantly warm food and set it on his coffee table. He then grabbed the remote, turned on the news, waited for Liang to come sit beside him so they could share, and proceeded to tuck in.

"-And that's why we can expect rain for most of tomorrow and the following week,"sighed a tired looking meteorologist. "Thanks so much, Mr. Young!"squealed an overly perky news anchor. Mr. Young glared tiredly at her. "You're so welcome, Miss Xi-" "In other news," she interrupted, "A mysterious virus has been spreading throughout major Russian cities, including St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Moscow, and others. Those who have contracted the virus so far have quickly reached critical conditions, although there have been few reports of deaths. More on this after these messages!"

A needlessly complicated car commercial flickered onto the screen, replacing the anchor's make-up coated face, but Rei didn't notice. He was too busy trying to remember how to breathe. If only his heart wasn't pounding in his ears and throat, then it'd be easier..."Mrow?"

I had your number quite some time ago
Back when we were young
But I had to grow
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now
Gotta get to you
Won't you tell me how
Call me call me
Let me know you are there
Call me call me
I wanna know you still care
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
Reasons for livin my life
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to know you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you

Liang, sensing her master's discomfort, gently batted at his bangs. Rei smiled briefly, but then swallowed anxiously. Moscow. The word was ringing through his head, making it impossible to think clearly. Kai would be there. Kai, who he had had to part with so long ago, who still held Rei in his dreams, who knew the neko-jin more than anyone else on the planet, his Kai, was in Moscow. Where people were dropping like flies to some virus.

Rei had lost contact with the Russian after he had left for Moscow for a fierce legal battle with his grandfather. However, he knew in his gut that Kai must be in Moscow. He had to be. What the raven haired young man wished he knew was if Kai was all right.

The commercials ended, and Rei was watching the over enthusiastic anchor woman intently. "We have just received word that a vaccine is being distributed. It is now mandatory for everyone in, coming to, or leaving the affected areas to receive it. However, the vaccine is ineffective on those already in the later stages of the virus. More on this later. In other news, drought has been hitting the Maozi region..."

Her slightly nasal voice fell upon deaf ears. As usual, he cleaned the liter box, took out the trash, and showered. His hands were shaking so bad he dropped the soap several times.

Rei's dreams were surprisingly bright. He was surrounded by warmth, and colors, and light, and there were two strong arms wrapped around him... And then he was awake. Again and again he awoke, wishing desperately he hadn't. Honey colored eyes gazed longingly at a battered old phone. He wanted to know Kai was all right, that he was just being pathetic and paranoid. After all this time, he wanted to hear from Kai, just to ease his mind. His one wish as he lay curled up with his cat was that the crimson eyed Russian would contact him, call him, tell him he was fine. Maybe even ask Rei to come back to him. Just as long as he's okay, the neko-jin thought, as long as he's okay...

He had almost dozed off again when the phone rang.
