Kai's eyes were squeezed tightly shut and he was trembling violently as he gave yet another dry heave into the toilet after emptying what he had eaten for breakfast, feeling like his entire stomach had been turned upside down.

He had no idea for how long he'd been throwing up, before the attack of nausea finally ceased, and he slowly got up onto his weak legs, giving a shuttering sigh whilst flushing the toilet.

Kai had been let out of hospital 3 weeks again and ever since then has been throwing up which isn't a good sign.

Kai came back into the living room of his Russian mansion where he and some of the other bladders have been staying whilst in Russia.

"Kai maybe you should go back to the doctors, you've been throwing up now for weeks" said a worrying ray

"I'm fine its just probably a bug, I'll be ok" replied kai. While a part of him kept screaming that something was wrong – badly wrong, but he just put it down to something he must have eaten.

Ray gave him yet another worried look "How does your stomach feel".

" My stomach just… doesn't feel right. But there's nothing to worry about", Kai replied, trying his best to sound convincing.

Kai could fool anyone else with those lame explanations, but apparently Ray wasn't that easy to shrug off. The Chinese squinted his eyes. " Kai, I really think you should go to the doctors and let them do some tests just to make sure that you are ok, as you say", the neko-jin announced, voice filled with worry.

Kai gave a growl, feeling a nasty headache attacking. " Ray, stop fussing around me will you I said that I'm ok so just believe me."

Ray's eyes lit into a determined, almost feral look that could challenge even Kai's glare. "Well someone has to worry about you, when you're clearly not feeling alright!".

Kai tuned his best glare to ray, as ray counteracted it with his own. It was a fight to see who would give in first.

Lee stepped forward to stop this childish challenge between the friends. " look kai we just want to make sure you are ok and hearing it from a doctor will put our minds at ease, as well as yours don't you agree".

Kai stared at lee for a while until he finally gave his answer. " Okay then", Kai muttered, and sounding between a hissing cat and a deflated child that didn't get their way. " I'll take those damn tests if it makes you get off my back and prove that I am ok."

"That's all we ask kai" said tala whilst hugging his deflated friend.

Feeling much more relief than pride over his victory, Ray smiled slightly and nodded. " Lets go then." He slowly got up, grabbed kai and went out the door of the mansion, with his friends following.

At The Doctors

" I'll just take a simple blood-test, there's nothing more to this. Take a seat", the doctor advised him while preparing a needle." Now you'll just feel a scratch"

"OWW, just a scratch" said kai in a clearly annoyed and sarcastic voice.

Couple of seconds later, the doctor had gotten all the blood he needed and vigilantly pulled the needle out of Kai's arm, gently putting a small bandage on the slightly bleeding puncture-mark. " There, not that bad now was it."

"No" replied kai sarcastically.

" I thought you'd take all my blood", Kai groaned, trying to get up. His head and his body, however, weren't quite co-operative, and he blinked, swaying slightly. " Uh…"

Almost instinctively, Ray jumped to Kai's side and wrapped an arm around Kai, steadying the Russian up. Both felt strange, unnerving shivers ran through them as they stood in silence for a while, so close that noses almost touched, feeling each others' warm breaths, until a cough broke them apart.

Looking up, ray was greeted by the smug faces of Bryan and tala.

"You ok" tala asked with a smirk plastered to his face.

"Kai's fine tala" replied ray in an obviously annoyed voice.

"The results should be ready in a week… or so" said the doctor.

Kai nodded "thanks", as he was helped back to the mansion to relax and wait for the results.
