Chapter 17 - Forgive and Forget?

The light of dawn arrived and shone delicately through the small hospital window belonging to room 201, much to Tala's distaste, his eyes fluttered open.

He stretched and gazed over to the boy lying before him, and sighed.

The boy looked so pale, his soft, childlike face held a pained, melancholic expression, one that could only be described as heart-rending.

He had an oxygen mask over his face, and had various wires and tubes inserted into his arms.

Tala leant over and kissed his friend on his forehead and grasped his hand gently, he stared down and felt a solitary tear drop down his fair complexion.

`Twice in less than a week…how can he put himself through this? He's always been so strong…or maybe that's just his mask he's been hiding behind…fucking abbey…that's the main reason he even tried in the first place, but because of Rei? Ian's right, he must be something special, but what will happen now?'

Back at the apartments, Rei awoke, he tried to sit up, but groaned and slumped back down, as his head presented him with a spasm of pain.

He looked around the room, to see it messed up, instead of being in its usual pristine state.

`What the hell happened?' he grumbled out loud. `Why can't I remember anything? What went on last night?'

His eyes widened and he checked in his pockets for something, he pulled out a small box and smiled, thankful it wasn't lost and placed it back in his pocket.

His mouth was dry, and he was desperate for some water, he got up and stumbled into the kitchen.

He was about to enter, when he heard serious tones echo through the closed door.

`What are you going to tell him Max? He'll be crushed…what if Kai…'

`Don't think like that, we'll all go and see him when he gets up, we have to tell him, and he has to know it wasn't his fault!'

Rei felt worried when he heard Kai's name, he knew something must have happened last night.

He opened the door and stared at them seriously.

`What's happened? What do you need to tell me? What's not my fault? And where's Kai?'

They looked at each other, `Rei do you remember anything that happened last night?' Rei shook his head, `No, its just a huge blank.' He had a feeling he wouldn't like what was coming next.

`Rei I think you should sit down…'

He obediently sat down.

Max sighed.

`I'll just tell it to you straight, we were drunk last night, and we decided to play truth or dare, it was your turn and the bottle landed on Jun, he asked for a dare, and you wanted to tell him privately, so you went into the other room, we waited for a while and you didn't come out, so we were going to sneak up on you, when we went in you and Jun sort of had your tongues down each others throats…'

Rei instantly felt numb, tears already glazing his eyes,

`We WHAT!!??' he shouted, `no, no your trying to trick me…'

`Sorry Rei, we wish we were trust me…' Tyson's tone proved to Rei that they were being serious.

`Kai saw didn't he…' Rei asked quietly, and they nodded, he buried his head in his hands.

Max and Tyson looked to Kenny to tell him the rest, they couldn't do it.

`Rei…there's something else you need to know…'

Rei looked up, looking at the smaller boy with fear in his eyes.

`Well, Kai obviously was upset by what he saw and he…well he tried again.'

Rei let out a loud whimper and covered his mouth with his hand.

`Oh god! Oh god! Is he going to be ok?'

`We don't know, we haven't heard anything from Tala, he stayed with him last night.'

`I have to get down there!' Rei cried as tears streaming down his tanned face.

He hurriedly put his shoes on and ran out the apartment, quickly followed by the others.

At the hospital, Tala still remained by Kai's bedside, watching the boy like a hawk for any signs of waking.

He was deep in thought, wondering when it all started to go wrong, but then, when he thought about it, it was a pretty obvious question, he knew that for Kai, things went from bad to worse day after day since he lost his family.

He was brought out of his thoughts when someone burst into the room.

`KAI! Oh god Kai, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!'

It was Rei, he'd run in and fell to his knees next to the young boy's bedside, and wept.

Tala walked over to the distraught boy, and put his hand on his shoulder.

`He's going to be fine Rei.' He said in an indistinguishable voice.

`No thanks to me…' Rei choked out

Tala remained silent, and Rei turned to him in desperation, and grabbed him round the legs

`Tala I swear, I was drunk! I have no recollection of last night at all! I have no feelings for Jun, I don't! You have to believe me, it didn't mean a thing, I love Kai! I do! I wouldn't do that to him!'

Tala pulled Rei to his feet, and shook him gently,

`Rei, we all know you didn't mean to, but the fact is it happened, and it's not us you have to convince.'

Rei broke down and fell into Tala's grip, he cried into Tala's shoulder, while Tala just rubbed his back supportively.

`Oh Tala, what if I've ruined everything!? What if I've lost him for good? I don't think I could bear it…'

Tala felt sympathetic towards his Chinese friend, after all, its not like he intentionally kissed him, he was pretty wasted at the time. But he still couldn't help but feel somewhat angry towards him; after all, it was because of him that Kai, who Tala considered a brother, was in the state he was in.

`Shhh, calm down, everything will be fine, I'm sure Kai will listen, he may seem cold and stubborn, but deep down he is a really understanding guy.'

Rei smiled slightly, `Thank you Tala…'

Just then the other Bladebreakers and Demolition Boys entered the room, as it was a pretty large room, they all fitted in with ease.

`When did the doctor say he would wake?' Tyson asked as he gazed upon his troubled, unconscious friend.

`The doctor told me he should wake today.' Tala said in a more enthusiastic voice, in his attempts to cheer up the group of friends, but he did not prevail.

`Come on guys, when Kai wakes up, I'm sure he doesn't want to see you all so gloomy.'

Tala said, the others looked guilty, especially Ian, `Sorry…' he said quietly.

Suddenly they all heard a murmur, they looked towards the bed, Kai was moving slightly, as though uncomfortable, and he kept murmuring something the others couldn't hear.

Tala ran to his bedside and stroked a stray hair out of his face.

`Kai? It's me Tala, can you hear me?'

He mumbled something to quiet to be heard, his hand sweeping along the blanket as though searching for something; Tala automatically grabbed his hand, and squeezed it gently, and Kai visibly relaxed and calmed.

About half an hour later, the Tyson, Kenny and Bryan went to get some things for the others.

After they left, there was silence.

But that silence was broken when Kai murmured, this time his eyes fluttered open, the others rushed to his bedside, `Ian can you get the doctor please?' Tala asked, the boy nodded and left the room.

Kai looked around weakly, unaware of where he was, and Tala stepped in.

`You're in hospital Kai, are you feeling ok?'

Kai groaned and tried to lift his arms, he suddenly made a cry of fear and panic, and thrashed his body, like he had just been electrocuted.

The others felt scared, `What's wrong with him!?' Max asked, Tala shook his head, he didn't know himself.

`Kai, what's wrong?' Kai looked up at him, `Get them out! Get them OUT!' he started pulling at the wires that were attached to his arms.

Ian entered the room with Dr. Myers, and saw Kai, the doctor signaled to Spencer and Tala who were on either side of Kais bed, `Can you two please try and hold his arms.' They obediently followed their instructions, but felt their heart break when they heard Kai's terrified yells.

`Kai calm down, it's us.' Tala tried to sooth, but failed.

The doctor returned with a large needle, Spencer gave him a strange look. `What's that for?' he asked as he struggled to hold his friends arm down, the doctor was making sure there was no air in the injection, `He'll end up causing himself further injury if he doesn't calm down, and he won't do that by himself.'

Kai heard and glanced over, his eyes widened with fear as he saw the needle, `Oh no, no, NO!'

He screamed as he thrashed against his friend's holds in a desperate attempt to escape.

`Kai, this isn't going to hurt, it's not the Abbey…'

Kai looked up at him, `Don't let him do it Tala, you promised you wouldn't let them!'

Tala looked confused, but tried to calm him, `Kai, you won't have to have it if you just calm down…'

Kai's eyes started to water, and he stopped thrashing, `Tala…' he whined desperately.

Tala released his hold on Kai's arm, and held his hand and Spencer did the same.

`It's ok, just breathe, come on, this isn't the abbey, they won't hurt you.' Tala said calmly, trying to help his shaking friend calm down.

Rei's P.O.V

I could only stand back and watch, there was nothing I could really do, The Demolition Boys were the ones helping him. I suppose it was for the best anyway, they had some idea of what he'd been through.

Plus, I was the reason I was here in the first place, how could I help?

After a few minutes, Kai had calmed, and Doctor Myers had put the needle away, he checked Kai's stats and said he'd be back in an hour or so.

It was only after he left that Kai had acknowledged my presence.

I feel my heart start to beat faster.

Normal P.O.V

Kai and Rei's eyes locked for what seemed to both of them to last forever.

The others noticed and felt uncomfortable, Tala looked at Kai and then to Rei, he got up, `We'll leave you two alone.' He dragged the others out the room.

They left the room, and again, the room was greeted with silence, this time, it was an uncomfortable one.

Kai stared down at the bed, avoiding Rei, he felt his eyes water uncontrollably, and he couldn't hold it in, his shoulders jolted as he sobbed again.

Rei felt his eyes start to prickle as well; he knew he had to explain himself.

He stepped forward and sat on the edge of Kai's bed and grabbed both his hands.

`Kai, you have to believe me, it meant nothing, I didn't know what I was doing! I swear to you I have no feelings for him whatsoever!'

Kai tried to pull his hands away from Rei's stronger grip, `I trusted you!' he choked through tears, `What did I do wrong? Tell me that!' Rei shook his head frantically, `you did nothing, I didn't mean for it to happen, I would never hurt you! I love you!' Kai tried to pull away harder.

`Well it did happen! And you let it! And you love me? How can you when you so are so easily seduced by another?'

Rei let his tears fall down his cheeks,

`I don't have feelings for him! If I was sober I would have pushed him away in an instant, you know I would! And I do love you! I do! Please Kai, forgive me it was a mistake! And I'm sorry; I'll do whatever it takes to make it right!'

Kai looked into Rei's eyes and saw that his pleas were genuine, but still, Kai couldn't be sure, he turned away, unable to look him in the face.

`You hurt me Rei…I don't know if I can risk that again.' He said sadly, he wanted so badly to be back in his arms.

It was Rei's turn to cry now, his shoulders shook uncontrollably. `Please Kai! I swear it was a mistake, one that will never happen again, I want us to be together for the rest of our lives.' He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box, `I know this won't make things right, but I want to prove to you that I'm telling the truth.'

He opened the box to reveal two white gold rings; Kai looked at them, and then looked up to Rei.

Rei took the rings out the box; he placed one on his own finger and took Kai's hand, with the ring in his other hand, ready to put it on.

`These are a sign of our love for each other, they show that I'm yours forever, and only yours, that is if you'll have me?'

Kai took Rei's hand, the one in which he held the ring, and moved it forward so that the ring was placed onto the tip of Kai's finger, Rei understood, and pushed the ring gently onto Kai's finger.

Their eyes locked. Rei finally plucked up the courage to ask, `So that's a yes?' Kai smiled and nodded, Rei grinned and embraced his lover again, `Oh Kai! Thank you! Thank you!'

Kai pushed him off slightly, `I love you Rei, but this is the last time. Swear to me you won't hurt me again.'

Rei took hold of his face and made it so there eyes were boring into each other, `I swear to you, on my life and on the lives of everyone I hold dear, it will never happen again.'

Kai smiled, `Then I forgive you.' he said.

Rei leant forward and kissed him gently, `Thank you…'

They leant into each other into a passionate kiss, but it was broken when they heard applause and cheers enter the room.

`I knew you guys would sort things out!' Tyson yelled happily.

Done! What do you think? I wasn't sure how I was going to get them back together, and I know that the commitment ring thing isn't exactly original, but hey! I think the ring thing is cute! ()

Anyway, please keep the reviews coming! I'm gonna keep to my normal target of 7,

I want to get at least 100 by the end of the story!

Anywho, a few replies to reviewers:

Phoenix-Dronzer - Sorry, I loved the idea about Kai and Tala, I love those pairings as well, but I couldn't do that to poor Rei and Bryan! I don't like it when relationships are wrecked, even if they are fictional! …Ahhhh you've made me want to write a TalaxKai fic now…so cute….

(silverpheoswitch0.459) - Thanks for the suggestion about description, don't know if I did much in this chapter… and my main reasons for thinking g-rev sucks are: 1) its not the Bladebreakers anymore! cries 2) Daichi pisses me off 3) they look a bit weird 4) Tyson will win it somehow…always bloody does! 5) I can't stand the fact that it's the last ever series! This time next year, beyblade altogether will be forgotten, there goes BB fanfics! cries even more and realizes that she should get out more

I have to stop there!

Love you all!!

Toodles!
