Ryuuta hurried down the street, a pout on his face.

Ryoutaro were asleep as were the other imajins.

All day he had been bored. Not even Kai's obnoxious voice was there to pester him. He almost wished he still had been there. Almost. He still hated Kai. Maybe not as much, Ryuuta had noticed that it was very hard and tiring to hate someone with all might all the time. Nowadays, he could only thonk about Kai, and it didn't even bring forth so much hatred any more.

When he stepped around a corner, he heard it. That annoying voice. But it wasn't in his head that Kai were, it was from in front of him.

Kai didn't look very happy. In fact, he looked somewhat upset. Ryuuta stood still and listened, hearing the Imagin's discuss something, which surprised him to no end.
Kai, abused?

Kai told them to shut up, or he would destroy them. The Imagin's, however, did not seem to listen to him. In fact, they ignored him, and looked at another Imagin who walked up to them, pulling a human along with him. Kai looked taken aback when he saw who the person were, and he took a step back. "Why did you bring him?" he asked. The Imagin's smirked, then one of them dived into the past, the others scattering.
Ryuuta walked over to Kai. "What're you up to now?"
Kai turned to look at him. "I'm really angry right now." he said. "Do my face look like that now?"
"No, it don't." Ryuuta got the Imagin's ticket and stood up as the DenLiner showed up. "You look scared, Kai."

Ryuuta was in the past, and saw something he didn't believe he would ever see.
It was Kai, but a younger Kai. Laying on the ground, shivering and covered in bruises. Then the Imagin was inbetween them, and Ryuuta attacked it, as he dodged a blow.
He heard a scream, and saw a younger version of the older man that was the contractor. And he understood this man's part of Kai's childhood.
He shot at the Imagin, who were surprisingly weak. It exploded.

Ryuuta glared after the man who ran away, and then turned to Kai. He threaded his fingers through the boys soft but dirty hair, and dark eyes were turned towards him. Ryuuta smiled. "It'll be fine. See you in the future, Kai."

When Kai saw Ryuuta return, he opened his mouth to speak, but Ryuuta gave the unconcious man a hard kick befote he got time to.
"...what are you doing...?" Kai asked in surprise.
Ryuuta turned to look at Kai as he sent another kick. "If I say that I don't know, will you believe me? I can't hear your answer."
"...you said it was going to be fine..." Kai said instead of replying. "When is it going to be fine? I've waited for a long time for it to be for a long time now."
Ryuuta shrugged. "Well...I dunno, actually. But how do you know it was me?"
"On the voice..and because I realized it when I saw you henshin with that Nogami Ryoutaro."
"You know, Kai..." Ryuuta sat down in front of the other. "You're not a bad person actually, right? If you just changed your ways, you wouldn't be alone."
Kai smirked. "Idiot. It's not that easy to change."
"I suppose."
Kai turned to him and leaned against him, pressing a kiss on Ryuuta's lips.
"Why did you...?" Ryuuta stared at him, his eyes wide and filled with shock.
"I feel like I don't know. I bet my face looks like it."
"No. You look more embarrassed than clueless."
Kai smirked and let his head rest on Ryuuta's shoulder. "Yea.."

Because that's how much hate can become.

Because that's how much love can become.
