Ruki stared for a minute, and started panicking. He rushed foreword and grabbed the an old shirt laying on the floor wrapping it around Kai's wrist trying to stop the bleeding. "Idiot! Why would you do something like this!" he hissed angrily pulling the drummer to his feet. "I'm sorry…" Kai whimpered, bowing his head and staring at the floor. Ruki felt some of his anger draining away. He couldn't be mad at him right now. He sighed and led him to the bathroom, sitting him down on the toilet lid. "It's alright, don't worry about it."

He rummaged through the cabinets looking for first aid supplies. He pulled out a bottle of peroxide and some bandages, then set to work on stopping the blood flow. Kai was silent the whole time, except for the occasional sniffle, and kept his gaze to the floor. When it had finally stopped bleeding he poured some peroxide on rag and started cleaning it. Kai flinched and jerked his arm back. "I'm sorry, but I have clean it out." He pulled Kai's hand back towards him and finished cleaning and bandaging it.

"There, all done," he breathed.

Kai set his hand down on his lap and continued staring at the floor, not wanting to meet Ruki's eyes. The vocalist crouched down in front of him. "Why did you do this?" he asked quietly. Kai didn't reply. "Please, talk to me Kai. I'm worried." He shook his head and shrunk back from the blonde.

"I can't help you if you don't talk to me."

Silence….

Ruki sighed and stood up, pulling Kai up with him. "Come on, lets go to your room." Nodding slowly, Kai let Ruki lead him to his bedroom and sit him down on the bed. "Why don't you get some sleep, you look exhausted…" The drummer laid down and let Ruki cover him up, already starting to doze off. The days of no sleep finally catching up to him. Ruki stayed until he was sure Kai was asleep then quietly exited the room, pulling out his cell phone.

He leaned against the wall and dialed Miyavi's number, then waited for the man to pick up. It went to voicemail after a while. Sighing angrily he dialed the number and waited, only for it to go to voicemail again. He repeated the process two more times.

The fifth time it went to voicemail he left a message.

"Miyavi, answer your god damned phone! You need to come home now. Kai isn't doing good and you need to get here before something else happens." He shoved his phone back in his pocket and made his way into the living room, plopping down onto the couch. He buried his face in his hands and sighed. Why was this happening?

Reita groaned as the loud cries started up yet again. Didn't this kid ever shut up? He was starting to think all the things Ruki and Uruha said about Aiko was a bunch of bullshit. She wasn't a good baby….she was a loud, annoying, intolerable baby who never stopped crying. Slowly he made his way into the living room to find the infant kicking and screaming on the couch. He picked her up and bounced her gently, trying to calm her down.

"What's wrong now?" he whined. "You were calm a few minutes ago."

He tried everything to get her to stop crying but nothing seemed to work. She wasn't hungry, she didn't need her diaper changed, she wasn't hurt. It seemed like she was crying for no reason at all. Finally, after almost twenty minutes, she seemed to calm down. He sighed in relief. "Finally," he mumbled. But his relief was cut short as she started gagging. He froze and looked down at her.

She continued gagging and Reita began to get worried. It sounded like she was choking. Hurriedly he made his way to the phone to call someone when all of sudden, "Bleh!"

She threw up, all over the floor….and on his arm

"…"

Kai awoke the next day to a dull ache in his wrist. He slowly pulled his arm up to look at it and saw the bandages wrapped tightly around his wrist. He was confused for a moment before the memories of yesterday started coming back to him. He flinched. How could he have been so stupid yesterday? What made him do that?

Slowly he pushed himself out of bed and made his way downstairs. Ruki was already up and making breakfast. He stood quietly at the entrance of the kitchen and waited for the vocalist to notice his presence. The blonde turned around a few moments later and jumped a little when he saw the drummer standing there. "Kai, you're awake." Kai nodded slightly, a tiny, forced smile appearing on his face. "Yeah…ohayou…."

"How are you feeling?" Ruki asked.

The dark haired man was silent for a moment before answering. "A little better…" Ruki smiled slightly. "That's good."

"Yeah…."

Kai made his way to the table and sat down. "I'm making breakfast, you want some?" Kai shook his head. "I'm not hungry…" Ruki frowned but nodded. "okay…." he said. He could see Kai was getting skinny. He probably hadn't eaten much of anything lately. But he wasn't going to push him. He didn't want to upset him.

The blonde sat down across from him, trying to think of something to say. "So…" he began, but was interrupted. "Aiko.." Kai mumbled,

"Hm?"

The drummer looked up, a worried expression appearing on his face. "Aiko…I didn't hear her this morning…where is she?"

"She's with Reita, don't worry."

"Reita? Why is she there? Does he even know how to take care of a kid? I-"

"Kai! Calm down. She's with Reita because you can't take care of her right now. She'll be back home as soon as Miyavi gets here." Kai frowned. "I think I can take care of my own child-" "You can barely take care of yourself!" Ruki exclaimed loudly, making Kai flinch. "You don't sleep, you don't eat, the house is a mess, you ignored her all day yesterday, even when she was screaming for you."

"I….I ignored her?" a horrified look appeared on his face.

"Yes, she was crying for hours, and you just ignored it. You wouldn't even look at her when I took her to my and Reita's house."

He looked down. How could he have acted that way towards his own child? What had she done to make him treat her like that? He felt tears forming in his eyes. He was a horrible parent. He didn't deserve her. Ruki put a hand on his shoulder. "I know what you're thinking, so stop it. It's not true, you're just going through a rough time right now. Thing's will get better." There was a silence before he responded. "But…But what if they don't?…"

Reita paced nervously back and forth with Aiko in his arms, waiting for Aoi to pick up the phone. He had tried calling Miyavi and Ruki but neither one had answered. The infant whimpered, pressing closer to him. Coughs shook her tiny frame. She gripped Reita's t-shirt tightly and made a pained sound.

"I know, I know, but I don't know what to do for you."

Finally the guitarist answered. 'Hello?' he said in a tired voice.

"Aoi! I need your help."

'What? What's wrong? Is everything okay?' he asked in a worried tone when he noticed the note of panic in Reita's voice.

"It's Aiko, she's really sick and I have no idea what to do."

'umm….why is Aiko with you?'

"Because Kai can't take care of her, he's not doing too good right now. So Ruki told me to watch her while he takes care of Kai."

'Well what's wrong with Kai? Is he doing okay? Is-"

"Aoi! Would you just help me with Aiko. I can fill you in on Kai later but right now I need to know what to do!"

'I'll be right over. Just let me wake up Uruha and tell him to watch Hiroki.'

"Kay, thanks…"

'No problem. See you soon.'

Reita sighed as he hung up the phone and went back to comforting Aiko. Well, attempting to comfort her. Nothing was calming her down. Another coughing fit started, worse than the others.

He hoped Aoi got here soon….
