5. ON LOVE'S WINGS

Rei opened his eyes and saw one very excited Max shouting about " He is awake! He is awake! Tyson ! Tyson? TYSON! Stop eating that, its Rei's breakfast!"and dashed over to catch him.

Kenny walked over to the bed and helped Rei sit up.

"How are you feeling?

"Like I've come back form the dead?" Rei joked in a coarse voice. "What happened Kenny? I….remember waking up outside and Kai….he was there wasn't he?"

"Yes" replied Kenny and remembered what Kai had told him the same morning when he knocked at his door. "Don't say anything about me"Kai had said "just say I found Rei and called the doctor! Do you understand?.".

Thus Kenny replied to Rei "It was Kai who found you and called the doctor", and turned to avoid saying more, to watch Max and Tyson fighting over what the later had left of Rei's breakfast.

"And then?" Rei asked after a minute or so.

"Errrr, and then,… nothing, he left." was all Kenny said.

Rei didn't want to show his disappointment and looked over to the others who were now pillow fighting making an awful lot of noise.

"Cute aren't they?" Dizzy exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" asked Rei.

"Dizzy!" Kenny called out

"You do not suppose they…No Really!" Rei said to Kenny half surprised half joking.

Kenny only nodded smiling also on the verge of laughing out.

"ahhhhhhhhh! That is so cute!" Rei said but felt happy for them and glad that at least someone found happiness, and decided that everything he remembered from the previous night was just a dream.

"Oh then it was all just a dream ….."he mumbled.

"What all?" Kenny asked.

"Nothing Kenny, nothing…"

"Oh! They'll make him sick again with all this noise!" Kai thought in anger as he had stuck his ear on Rei's door, keeping one eye on the corridor. Suddenly the noise came nearer to the door and Kai had just time to dash into his room while the door smashed shut behind him. Tyson was the first to pop his head out into the corridor and called out " Did you hear this too?". He was pushed out by Max, and followed by Rei and lastly Kenny who said " Its is still not a good idea to get up and about Rei."

"Come on Kenny I am FINE!"

To Kai's relief nobody noticed the bit of scarf caught in the door. The blue-haired had stood almost strangled not moving, as the door had caught his scarf, until the noise outside dimmed in the distance. He immediately freed himself and fell forward catching his breath. Sitting up, his back against the wall he went with one hand over his hair and thought " What am I doing? What was I thinking?" and after a pause "Where did Rei go now?". He really felt compelled to follow him but thought it would be ridiculous. "But he just got up and shouldn't be up, and besides if they leave him alone something might happen, so I have to follow them in hiding just in case. Just in case only, for no other reason." And feeling content with this excuse he went after the rest of the Bladebreakers.
