Rei had pride, he knew that. He had hate. He knew that as well. He even had love, but what really got him the most was his pride when it came to the golden knight, Garo.

His pride always got in the way when it came to his feelings for Kouga and he knew it. What bugged the hell out of him though was he knew that Kouga knew it as well.

"Damn bastard!" Rei yelled as he paced his room again.

"You are letting your pride rule you," said his ring, Silva.

"I know that!" Rei yelled back as he sat down on his bed and ran his hands though his long, black hair.

"You really should tell him," Silva replied.

"I can't," Rei sighed as he laid back.

"Swallow your pride and do it already. You managed to do so when you where forced to fight with him," Silva pointed out.

"That's because I was forced to do so," Rei said.

"But that brought you closer to him," Silva pointed out.

"I know. Where are you going with this?"

"You know full well where I am going with it," Silva replied.

Rei sighed again, stood up, grabbed his coat, twin swords, and the keys to his bike and took off to the golden knight's home.

He walked though the barrier with no problem, then to the door and pounded.

Gonza finally opened the door, "Aw, Rei-san…" but before he could say anything else, Rei started to talk.

"Where's the damn wolf?" he growled.

Gonza stepped aside and smiled, "In the back yard, practicing."

Rei went though the house and stepped out onto the large pouch of Kouga's home and stopped for a moment to watch the other knight practice.

He smiled as he watched the other move with grace.

Then he remembered why he was there. He had only one thing on his mind, to let the wolf know how he felt and swallow his pride.

He quickly walked over before Kouga would know it and slammed the older against the tree and kissed him with such passion it took a moment before Kouga realized what was happening.

He dropped his sword and wrapped his arms around the other and flipped them around, pressing Rei against the tree he was pressed against just moments before.

When the need for air became too great for the two knights, the pulled away.

Kouga smiled, "It's about time your swallowed your pride."

Rei smirked, "Just shut up and kiss me again."

The End
