Chapter 2
A Deadly Treat
The cool air brushed past Rei's creamy colored face. Even though it was only November its cold temperatures and talk of snow made it feel like December.
When Rei finally got to his destination, he walked inside. The tiger blader wrote his name down on a clipboard confirming that he was there for his appointment. He then took a set in an extremely uncomfortable chair.
"Rei Kon." A nurse spoke out into the waiting room. The said person got up and walked up to the nurse.
"Follow me." The nurse commanded with a gentle voice. Rei did as he was told.
The nurse checked everything Rei's weight, height, heartbeat, and other various tests. After everything was said and done, she told him to wait for the doctor.
It was about a 5 minute wait before Dr. Nota walked into the room with the results in her hand. She then asked Rei, "How do you feel, Rei?"
"I feel really sick, all the time. Sometimes, I feel like I can't hold down food or my own breath." Rei spoke, with despair, to the doctor about how he has been feeling.
Dr. Nota nodded then said, "I take it that these symptoms have been happening for a while now."
Rei responded, "Only for a couple of days."
"Rei listen," Dr. Nota sounded stern and was looking straight into his eyes, "you have got a deadly throat illness. I am sorry to say that this particular illness does not have a name or a cure."
The neko-jin was shocked by this bit of information that was just spoken to him. Within seconds of being told this he asked, "How long do I have to live?"
"About two months, Rei." The doctor answered with a great deal of despair.
"Thank you." Rei's kind reply was short. He was grimacing as he left the doctor's office.
It was late afternoon when Rei came home from the doctor's. Kai was standing outside the house, waiting for Rei to come home.
Rei soon saw Kai and ran straight into his arms crying and screaming, "Kai! I w…" The last words were cut off because Rei had passed out in Kai's arms.
Sorry that this chapter was kind of short. I promise to update as soon as possible.
