[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

Hello my dear, sweet readers! And before I begin, some of you are questioning how realistic it was for Kai to be drinking, and why the D-boys didn't take it off him.

So here are a few answers to clear things up:

One - this is Kai we're talking about; do you really think he'd let them take it off them? Two - remember, the d-boys are still a bit drunk…I think that's an excuse… and thirdly, well there is no third…hope 1 & 2 cleared things up!

Anyway, back to the story, hope you like it!

P.S () is like Kai's vision, you'll understand…

Chapter 16 - Touched by Angels.

He felt himself slip away, and started to hum a lullaby his mother sang to him as a child, he could hear her words as he hummed her blissful tune.

`Sleep my child…Sleep…' That sweet voice drew him into the darkness.

In the sitting room, the Demolition Boys sat in silence, Tala sighed.

`This is all my fault, I should never have suggested that we get pissed in the first place, I should have known something bad would happen.'

The others sighed as well, Bryan hugged his boyfriend,

`Don't be stupid, of course it wasn't your fault, how were you to know this would happen? If it's anyone's fault its Jun's.'

Tala was silent.

Ian hugged one of the cushions that was on the sofa,

`Poor Kai, Rei must have been something really special, I mean I've never seen Kai act that way with anyone before, do you remember how long it took us to finally gain his trust when we first met him? And then all of a sudden he's head over heels for Rei. He wouldn't be like that with just anyone.'

The others nodded, it was true, and Kai had never trusted anyone except them.

Spencer's impatience got the better of him again, `He's taking his time isn't he?'

Tala nodded, and then looked over to Ian, his eyes widened.

`Wait a minute, did he take that bottle with him?' he asked seriously.

Ian looked up, his facial expression turned into a worried one, he nodded.

`Shit!' Tala cursed, he got up and ran to the bathroom door, the others followed.

Tala tried to open the door, but it was locked, he banged his fist furiously on the door, `KAI!' he yelled, no answer, he tried again a few times but still no reply, he tried to force the door open with his shoulder, but it didn't open, he looked over at Spencer, fear pouring from him, `Spence, could you do it?'

The larger boy nodded, and the others gave him some room, he back up against the wall on the other side of the door, stepped forward and gave the door a forceful kick, making it open, Tala ran in, but stopped dead when he saw Kai.

He was lying curled up on the floor, blood trickling from his butchered arms across the white, tiled floor, his child-like, tearstained face looked peaceful, yet hurt.

`BRYAN! CALL AN AMBULANCE!' he yelled as he dropped to his knees, and felt Kai for a pulse, his hands were shaking furiously, and he couldn't find one, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, `I-I can't find it!' he choked out in a panicked voice, Spencer stepped forward and crouched next to Tala, he tried to find it.

`There's one there, just.' He said through his own tears.

Ian was still in the doorway, traumatized by what he saw; his shoulders shook as he cried uncontrollably.

`Tala…is he ok? Tell me he's going to be alright!'

Tala and Spencer looked around that the smaller boy, and saw how distraught he was, Tala got up and pulled him close to him, `He'll be fine…he's going to be alright…' he said this over and over like a mantra, trying to calm his smaller friend down.

Bryan ran in, `They'll be here in a few.' He said in a shaky voice, he stepped into the bathroom heard a small clatter; he looked over his shoulder and saw he's knocked over two bottles, he picked them up. They were empty.

`He drank it all! And what are these?' he read the label and saw that they were Kai's pills, he felt warm tears trail down his face `Oh Kai…' he sighed as he realized what Kai had done.

A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door; Bryan ran up to answer it, and was greeted hastily by paramedics.

`He's through here.' He hurried them into the bathroom.

The paramedics asked the boys to leave the room to give them some space, they complied obediently.

They waited in the hallway, so they could still hear what was going on.

The paramedics were speaking with medical terminology, so they couldn't quite understand everything.

`Lost a fair bit of blood, excessive alcohol consumption, and has overdosed.'

`Ok, we have to get him to hospital before it's too late, you two get him on the stretcher, I'll find out what exactly happened.'

A young man came out the bathroom, and walked up to the Demolition Boys,

`Do any of you know exactly how much he drank?' Bryan held up the empty bottle, `He drank all of it, and he took all of these as well…' he held up a smaller bottle, which had a label stating his medication on it.

`Ok, how long ago did you find him?' Tala lifted his head,

`Well, he went into the bathroom for about ten or so minutes, then got worried because he was upset and he took the bottle with him and the door was locked-' he couldn't finish what he was saying, he was crying to hard.

The young man was about to speak when two other adults came out the bathroom, with Kai on the stretcher, with an oxygen mask on his face.

They got him downstairs and into the ambulance, the young man turned to the group of boys, but Tala spoke before him.

`Please let me go with you.' He asked desperately, the man looked at him, `Are you a relative?'

Tala felt anger and panic jolt through him, `No! But I may as well be! Because his only living relative is in the fucking loony bin! Were pretty much all he has! Now let me in!'

The young man sighed, `I can only let one of you in.'

Tala turned to the others, `will you go let the Bladebreakers know what's happened I'll go' they all nodded and ran back into the apartments.

Tala got into the ambulance and sat next to Kai and started to stroke his silky blue hair.

He was hooked up to a heart monitor. Tala felt worried when it started beeping abnormally.

`Sir, if you could just sit back please.' The female paramedic asked gently.

`What's going on?' Tala asked, scared to know the answer.

He heard the beeping go weird again, it was just one long noise, he looked over at the monitor, the line was straight, no trace of a heartbeat.

`Oh my god Kai!!!' The paramedics surrounded the boy,

`Were loosing him!'

`Hurry doc, get the defribulators, he's having a cardiac arrest!'

The young man raised two steel oval shaped objects; `Clear!' he said loudly and placed them on Kai's chest, making Kai's body jolt.

`Nothing, again! Clear!' the young man said again.

Kai was surrounded by brilliant white light, he felt as though he was floating, no control over his body, only of his mind and soul.

He let the light lead him, he didn't know where too, or in which direction.

He heard voices; he weakly looked around, nothing but white light, he noticed he was no longer in his normal clothes (1) but in white robes.

Suddenly, he felt himself stand, as though he was levitating, he curiously wondered if he could walk, and attempted to step forward.

When he did just that, he smiled and followed the voices.

As he stepped forward, two blurred figures came into sight, Kai kept walking forward, the figured getting clearer as he did, he made out the outlines of a man and a women.

He walked ever closer until he made out whom the couple were.

He saw a woman with azure hair that had the same piercing eyes as him, and a man with the same distinctive hair as him, both wearing traditional, startling white, Japanese robes.

`Mom…Dad…' he said through tears of disbelief.

The couple smiled and nodded…

Tala waited in the corridor of the hospital, so worried he was almost physically sick.

He heard a familiar voice, it was Bryan, and he turned his head to see the D-boys and Max running towards him.

`Where are the others?' Tala asked Max.

`They wanted to come so bad, they're so worried, but we couldn't leave Rei at home.' He explained, Tala nodded and turned away.

`So…is he ok?' Ian asked, tears threatening to spill again.

Tala remembered the incident in the ambulance, `I-I thought we'd lost him…' Tala said faintly.

`In the ambulance…his heart stopped…and they had to shock him…and I don't know if he'll…' he broke down, as did Ian, and the others.

A doctor came through the door, and recognized Max, `Hello again Max', he turned to the others, `I'm Dr. Myers, Kai's doctor.' He told them calmly, they quickly said their names, `Is he ok?' Tala asked.

`He's still being seen to, it's too early to tell.' Tala looked angry, `Then why the hell are you here!? Go and fix him up instead of talking to us!'

`Don't worry, he's being seen too, but I do need to speak with you, Mr. Flynn, Kai's psychiatrist is currently with another patient, and I need this information now, do any of you know of any reasons why Kai did this again?'

They all looked to the floor, but Tala looked up at the doctor bitterly,

`Because Rei was wasted and his ex-boyfriend took advantage and Kai caught them in the act.'

`I see…' Dr. Myers said thoughtfully, `So Kai and Rei were in a relationship?' they nodded.

`Thank you boys, I have to go see to him now, I'll let you know if there's any news.'

Meanwhile in the hospital room…

`Doctor! We're loosing him!'

`We aren't loosing this kid!'

`Doctor his heart rate is dangerously weak!'

`Come on kid, work with me!' the doctor said desperately as he tried to get his heart rate up.

Kai ran up to the figures and embraced them, it felt so real, and it couldn't be a dream.

`I've missed you so much…' he wept.

The couple embraced their son back, something the young boy had longed to feel, `We've missed you too…'

Kai looked up at his parents, `Does this mean I died…and now I can stay with you?'

His mother cupped his face with her hands with an indefinable expression on her face.

`No, you're not dead, and you can't stay with us…'

Kai didn't understand, `But why? I heard you call for me, why can't I stay? I want to stay with you!'

She smiled and kissed him on the cheek,

`It's not your time yet; life is precious, you can't just throw it away. Rei loves you. He didn't know what he was doing, just like you don't know what you're doing.'

Kai felt a tear go down his face, he wanted to forgive Rei, and be with him, but he wanted his parents as well.

`But I-' his mother silenced him, by putting her finger against his lips.

`We know what you're thinking, and we know life has been unpleasant so far, but it will get better, and we want you to experience it, we didn't get a chance to, I don't want that to happen to you.'

His father stepped forward, `It's time to go back Kai.' he said gently, placing his hand on his shoulder.

`But I don't want to…I don't want to leave you again…' he whispered to them.

`You'll thank us.' His father said to him, `but you must go back.'

Kai embraced them tighter, `Will I ever see you again?'

They both smiled, `we will wait for you, when your time has come we will meet again, but not yet…not yet…'

He saw them begin to fade, Kai panicked, `No wait…WAIT! Come back!' but they were gone.

He was in the world of brilliant white again.

`We love you…' was the last thing he heard before white was replaced with black.

It was now 2:00am, Tala still remained in the corridor, he had insisted that the others go home, he didn't see the point in everyone staying, it would just cause chaos.

Finally, Dr. Myers walked through the doors.

`Well? Is he ok?' Tala asked impatiently.

`Yes, he's going to be fine, he had a dangerously weak heart rate, but we managed to stabilize him, he should recover with little or no damage.'

Tala sighed with relief, worry fading away, `Can I see him?' he asked weakly, he was tired beyond belief, and his eyes were being forced to stay open.

Dr. Myers smiled slightly, `Yes, are you planning on staying with him overnight?' Tala nodded.

Tala was lead to room 201, he pushed the door open and saw Kai sleeping, or what looked like sleeping anyway.

`Is he sleeping or unconscious?' Tala inquired,

`At the moment he's unconscious, but he should wake by tomorrow, if not earlier.'

Tala smiled, `Thank you doctor.' He took a seat next to Kai's bedside.

He watched over Kai until his eyes could not hold themselves open anymore, and drifted into a worriless sleep.

Done! What did you think?

I heard a story about someone who was in surgery or something and they nearly lost him, but he pulled through, and he said while they were operating, his dead grandma, who he was really close to in life, sent him back for a second chance. I thought that was so sweet…such a nice idea as well, that's where I got the idea from.

Anywho, if you don't like it I can take it out, I just thought I'd try it.

And shame on you if you thought I'd let Kai die! I love that boy! I would take my own life before I killed him!

(Yes, I really am this sad…)

Oh yeah, (1) all characters are wearing V-force clothes, they're so cute! Apart from d-boys etc who I should think are wearing first series clothes, or g-rev, up to you but I think g-rev sucks…

Toodles!
