Sorry mates this is short, and that it is basically just a filler. but I wanted to show some background with out annoying flashbacks. although, there will still be those too. so, there is no real excuse for this chap. n.n' bad me...
Chapter 2, Reasons
Rei did not wish to go to army, but he had no choice. He wanted to study to be a chef, but he couldn't afford it, and his dad refused to pay it. He did work as a part-timer, but it wasn't enough to pay for the school, food and apartment. Plus, his dad wanted him to take over the family business, not willing to let his cousin take his place and run the firm. So, he had no choice but to go to army, according to his father, especially after the speeding ticket he had got. And now after he had signed the service contract for a year, there was no way he could drop out of it. Once you got in, you stayed there 'til the end. And he feared it could be his end, not the end of service time. He wasn't in a bad shape, but he didn't believe he was fit enough to carry heavy back bag and other stuff around in forests, especially since he had no motivation for it. But hopefully once he got out, his father would have chanced his mind and would let him go to cooking school.
Brian had nothing against going to army, he might have gone there even without Tala and Kai coming along. Heck, he could even have a real career in the force, if he really wanted. But, it was more likely he would follow his father's path and become Tala's right hand man, if Tala chose to inherit the company from his father. But still, whatever his future would be, he kinda looked forward to going joining the force. He didn't mind physical labor, even when he knew he would need to do more than average shoulder, since he needed to help Tala. But that didn't bother him at all, having the redhead around would be worth all the possible troubles.
Tala was going to army just to watch after Kai. That guy hadn't been himself for like a year. He had chanced little before he turned 18, and he was worried. Kai didn't fight with his grandpa anymore, and he had started keeping distant to him and Brian. So, he was really worried, and he hoped that once Kai got out of the house, he might turn back into the stubborn and strong-willed boy he had known from his childhood. Kai had turned cold, and he just couldn't understand why Kai had agreed to go to army when his grandpa had asked him to. But, he wasn't Tala Ivanov, if he wouldn't manage to cheer Kai up when they would live in the same place. Plus, he didn't need to worry too much about military training being too tough, since he had Brian to back him up. He smiled softly when thinking his very own guardian. Where would he be if Brian hadn't been there to help him when Kai changed? He sighed, maybe he would go and fool around with Brian for a while. That always got him to better mood.
Kai didn't really care. He had no big future plans he could recall, and it would take time before he could rule instead of his grandfather. Surely he could just go to college, but it made no difference whether he learned about business or about leading people. Both could be useful, and now he was at least fit for military training. So, he had agreed to go when his grandfather had suggested him to join the force. And apparently both Tala and Brian would come too. He was not sure if that was a good thing, but in the end, it was none of his business what they did, so he didn't comment one way or another. Although he had noticed the concerned look Brian and Tala had exchanged when he had not reacted at all. But he had shrugged it off too, he had better things to focus on. He had already ages ago stopped sparring with Brian and was currently training by himself according to what he remembered his father had taught him before he had died in that accident with mother. And he was doing well in that too, so he didn't really need Brian anymore. And Tala could be really annoying and time consuming. But none of it mattered, since in the army they wouldn't have much time to just hang around and cause disturbance. And going there would also mean he would get away from his grandfather's constant watching, which would be a relief too.
yah, really short and pointless. if you ask for it, I'll come up with third chap much quicker. in case you still liked this and wanna read more. if not, never mind, I can write something else...or write this, but you just don't have to read...jaba jaba, sorry for rambling. have a good day/night/etc
