Okay! I'm starting a new fic, so ya'll know what to do! Read and review, and I'll update as soon as I can.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rei…but I do own all those other ones I included in this fic, so don't sue. Read on!
Introduction:
In the future, parents are forced to have only two children by law. This is a story where two boys try to escape their destiny-death, for being a third child. Rei Kon, and Ryuji Kon, brothers hide from the population police, and are forbidden to ever go outside. What happens when they disobey orders, and explore the outside world for the first time?
Chapter 1: I'm Illegal…
"Rei, what are you doing?" Ryuji asked innocently, peeking from behind Rei's shoulder. Rei smiled. The 6 year old boy couldn't help but to be curious. It ran in the family, it seemed.
"I'm reading a book Zak gave me." Rei answered. Zak was their oldest brother, the first born. A frown appeared on Ryuji's face as he squinted at the book.
"I thought Zak didn't like reading."
"He brought the book for me. Like he'd read it." Rei laughed slightly, knowing that even touching a book made Zak sick to his stomach.
"I bet Sysuke would." Ryuji chirped. Sysuke was the second born…(the lucky one) Rei thought almost bitterly. He and Ryuji had to hide all day while they went to school, and actually got to head outside and play sports.
"Yeah…" Rei replied with a slight sigh. He put the book down, and headed over to the boarded window. Rei had discovered a slight crack through the wood, and could just be able to see the outside.
"Do you ever wonder what it's like to be out there? You know, be…normal?" Rei sighed again, then saw that his brothers were coming back from school. He literally jumped up from his seat. He couldn't wait until his brothers told him about their day at school. He loved hearing how the teacher scolded them, or what they had learned.
"Come on!" Rei quickly headed downstairs, and Ryuji followed closely behind. They all seemed like miniature versions of themselves, except for Rei, who had his mother's golden colored eyes. The rest had their father's eyes, which were a grey color. But they all had the jet black hair, and Neko-jin like features.
"How was school?" Rei asked. He was only a year younger than Sysuke, who was 13. Zak, was 15, and loved the independence his mother and father were giving him at that age.
"Boring." Zak mumbled, then sat down on the couch to watch TV.
"My day was all about learning. My French teacher taught us the colors."
"Awesome!" Rei almost screamed, but caught himself.
"What colors? I thought all the colors were the same!" Ryuji seemed confused.
"Every language has it's own way to say colors, and everything else." Sysuke explained, then opened his notes.
"To say the color Green, is Vert. That's in masculine form. Feminine form is Verte. Blue, is Bleu. Feminine form is Bleue. Then, White is Blanc. Feminine form is blanche. Yellow is jaun…I think." Sysuke's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking over his notes. "Maybe I didn't write it down right."
"So, what's the whole thing with the Masculine and Feminine stuff?" Rei asked.
"It's well…I forget." Sysuke smiled sheepishly. "But I do know that Orange and Brown don't change. Orange, and Marron." Before Sysuke could say anything else, Zak interrupted them.
"Man, why the hell are you still talking about school? Don't you get that when we get out of school, that it's time for you to forget about school?" Zak emphasized the word 'forget' with a slight mocking tone. Sysuke only rolled his eyes, but shut his notebook.
"Is mom still going to work until 11:00?" Sysuke asked, biting his lip nervously.
"Yeah…She's gonna try and work overtime." Rei answered with sadness. She never had time to spend with him, or rather, with all of them. And their father worked hard labor to help feed them all. But it wasn't that they had had four children on purpose, but being a Neko-jin had it's disadvantages. Birth was a bit complicated. If you had one, then surely, the body system had to make about three more children, all at least one or two years apart. Now Ryuji had been an accident, but their mother was proud of what she had had him…she loved him the most because he was the baby of the family. Rei remembered when he used to be the baby of the family. Everyone paid more attention to him, it felt like everyone loved him more…but once Ryuji came along, he just became like Zak, and Sysuke. They were still all loved a lot, but to all of them, it felt like Ryuji was the spoiled one.
"So, what did you cook us, Rei?" Zak asked, looking in the refrigerator.
"Well, there's some egg rolls, and-"
"Thanks, I found them. But you could've made something else besides this." Zak interrupted, taking it out of the refrigerator. Sysuke just shook his head, and nudged Rei.
"He thinks he's so special now that he's able to go out to places…don't listen to him."
"Right…" Rei trialed off, knowing that today, would be a long, usual day.

Rei awaited his mother. It was 11:54, and she still wasn't home. Usually, she'd be home at about 11:20. He was getting worried. (What if she got caught? What if she was in jail-what if they found out about me and Ryuji?) Rei panicked, but then calmed down slightly. (No, don't think about that…that couldn't happen. They would've already taken us away…) Biting his bottom lip, he sat on the couch nervously, waiting to see the car's headlights pull up into the driveway. (Just a few minutes more…then I'll go to bed…) Rei thought, closing his eyes for just a moment. He suddenly felt a soft tap on his shoulder, and his mother's sweet, caring voice in his sensitive ears.
"Honey, what are you doing on the couch?" She asked, and Rei looked at the clock. It was now 12:47 midnight. He realized that he had fallen to sleep.
"I was waiting for you, mom." Rei replied sheepishly.
"Oh, you don't have to, Rei…you know I always try to get a few more hours in on Saturdays." She replied, then kissed him on the forehead slightly. "Now you go to your bed. It's already late enough." She helped him up, then Rei hugged her tightly. His mom seemed surprised for a moment, then hugged him back.
"There, now go to your room, and keep your brother company." She parted the hug, then looked into his eyes slightly.
"Um, your food is on the table, but it's cold now, you'll have to-"
"I know, I know. Now you go on to bed. You need your rest." She shooed him away, then headed into the \kitchen while Rei looked at her from the top of the steps.
"You're the one who needs it, mom." He murmured, then headed to the room he shared with Ryuji. Ryuji was sound asleep, with his thumb in his mouth. Rei smiled at this, then lay down under the covers. (Tomorrow…tomorrow, I'll go outside, smell the fresh air…out into the open…and no one can stop me…) Rei thought, clutching his necklace in his hand.
"No one will…not even the population police…"
