Ten Years
by Himako-hime/Aiwa




Hiya, peoplez. I'm back!
*Sees some excited faces but mostly bored ones*
Aww... I feel so unloved. Well, here's Chapter 2, Enjoy!





I want to say thank you for all the people who reviewed, and if you have any questions then feel free to ask me. I know the story is not very specific about a lot of things, and if you're really frustrated then just ask me.





Like my Science teacher says: Ask me because I can't read your mind. I'd like to, but I can't.





This chapter is dedicated to Aida who's still mad at me for writing a yaoi coupling. I'm sorry, but geez, accept it!


Rei_Chika- Thankies for reviewing.

Shadow Shi13- Thanks, and yes I will continue.

SoulSister- I believe they will. I believe they will... *laughs synically* Thanks by the way!

Flick- I'm glad that you approve. Keep reading! I've said this a thousand times and I'll keep saying it, Thank you!

Mirakai no tenshi neko-jin- Aww, that's so nice of you! Nobody's ever wrote my name with 'sama' before! Thanks!

Blue Demon- I'm honored to have you reading my story. But I'm very curious as to why you like Tyson/Kai better than Rei/Kai. Thank you for reviewing. *Bows down with respect*

Hiwatari Kai- So nice of you to review again, and you were the first one to review chapter 1 too! Thanks! O.o NO! I don't want Kai to be a psycho! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the reassurance by the way.





I just want to ask you guys something, I have been noticing that my chapters are rather short, so I'm wandering if you guys would like me to write longer chapters and update slower or keep the chapters as it is and update faster? Tell me what you think!





Disclaimers: Don't own it. That's why it's called FAN fiction. Just a fan.
'Cry' does not belong to be, it's sung by Mandy Moore.





Chapter 2




I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed




Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm stupid. I don't know why, or how. But somewhere along the way, you changed me more than anyone else has ever did. I didn't come from the same place you did. I didn't understand the things you knew. All I knew was, I was in love with you the moment I saw you cry.




In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry





Maybe I'm too naiive, maybe I'm too trustful. I don't know if it was my imagination, but to me you always seemed to be perfect. I knew I would never amount to anything in your eyes, your beautiful eyes. But I had dreamed, and I had fantasized that you noticed me one day, that you'll be able to return my feelings someday.





The moment that I saw you cry





Yes, it was then. When you cried, for the first time. That was when I'd realized that you were just as fragile as you are strong, as delicate as you are intense.





It was late in September
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed





You confused me greatly. How can anyone be strong and delicate, a protector and a protected in the same time? I was beginning to think that I didn't know you. Sometimes, I'd wander, at night by myself in a dark and dingy room, how you had managed to hide a side of yourself so well from others? How did you conquer your fears, and how did you become so strong. I admired you for a lot of things, I knew my weaknesses and I know that I could never ever become the person that you are. But I kept wishing...





In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry





From that moment on, I knew the secrets that you kept, the things that you hid. I don't know why I never noticed before. Your silent plea for help, your tormented yet beautiful eyes, why you never liked companionship, the reason why you treated everyone harshly. It breaks my heart knowing how much you suffered. Even now you wreath in bed, sobbing from your ghastly memories that hunts you in your dreams.





I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything all right





I've always watched on the side, for my own fear of your rejection. I wanted to, I really did, but first I had to conquer my fears, prove myself worthy to comfort you after your bad dreams, help you make better memories, to erase the scars from your past. Believe me, I tried, but then everything changed. You changed. We weren't enough for you, I wasn't good enough for you. I realized that the day you left.





I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
In places no one would find





Even though you've destroyed my life, I want to tell you that I still remember, the lost boy who needed comfort and support. The fearful boy who pushed everyone away. I'll always blame myself for not helping you in time, it was my fault that you're where you are now. I'm so sorry. Now that you don't need me anymore, I've lost my purpose in life. Please, tell me. What should I do?





In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside) (Forever was in your eyes)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry




And now, after all these times, I'm realizing that it's not too late. You have changed, but your eyes have not. You're still the lost and lonely little boy inside, forever trapped by the dillusional fears. Too scared to scream for help.




Baby, cry
The moment that I saw you cry
Oh, no, no
I think I saw you cry
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to know you
I wanted to know you





I wish you would let me in...
I wish it was real, that you really do need me...
Perhaps my dreams will come true someday...
Maybe tomorrow...maybe next week...maybe next months...maybe next year, but please let it be this lifetime...(AN: Guess he's not that patient after all, eh?)




Stepping out of the shower, Rei wrapped a towel around himself. His wet locks falling to the ground. (AN: Me so jealous of Rei's hair!)
Rei had never bothered with cutting his hair, Mariah thought it was beautiful. If Mariah could be here now, maybe she would tell him what do to, where to go from here. Tears rolled down his cheek as he remembered his suffering friends, fallen comrades and his dead family. Why did Kai have to kill them?! They weren't even a threat without their bit-beasts! Was it fun for him to watch them die in agony? Rie's blood curled, making up his mind once again that Kai would have to pay for all the things that he's done.

But when? Rei was worried that he would lose his will and about the whole thing sooner or later. Lips set in a determined frown, Rei quickly got dressed and drew out a plan for his task. He knew it was stupid, if someone sees that plan and reported it to Kai, well...let's just say it wasn't gonna be a pretty sight.

What he really needed is a motivation. Something that could keep him going before he lost his nerve. If Kai could do it, why is it so hard for him? Rei wondered silently. Seconds soon turned into minutes and minutes into hours. Still Rei sat, lost in his thoughts, oblivious to the time.





The red digits flashed, incessant ringing could be heard from a mile away, but still the Chinese boy slept on peacefully. (AN: Man, he can sleep!) A dark shadow imerged, straight and tall not showing any fatigue. The shadow turned and rounded the next corrider where our poor, defenseless little Rei-chan is, still sleeping through the storm. (AN: You all know who the 'mysterious' shadow is by now right?)

Kai turned the doorknob which opened easily to his relief, for he forgot his keys tonight.
"Rei?" He called quietly. (AN: Is Kai stalking Rei or something? Seems to me that he does this every night!) Silence greeted him. Well that's strange, where could Rei have gone? (AN: I so suck at writing! I really am making Kai sound like a psycho... NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"Rei?" He tried again. Walking farther into the room, he discovered Rei perched on a stool, (AN: Yes, a stool!) sleeping like there was no tomorrow. (AN: How do you SLEEP like there was no tomorrow? Rei sure is a talented one.)
Sighing to himself, the bluenette sat on the edge of Rei's unoccupied bed and watched. (AN: Awww... that's so kawaii...) Kai's maroon eyes scanned the room and landed on a piece of paper sitting on the desk, his eyes narrowed suspiciously. It was unlikely that Rei was writing a letter to someone, and it was quite a large piece of paper. Snatching it softly from the desk, as not to wake Rei, Kai quickly scanned the paper. Smirking as he put the paper back, Kai mused to himself, so Rei was actually a spy? Trying to destroy him, was he? Well, Kai thought to himself, it was only fair, after all, he had destroyed so many of the other boy's loved ones. Something tugged at his heart painfully, but the bluenette choose to ignore it. Casting one last sorrowful glance at the sleeping boy, Kai stepped out of the room.






*********************************************************************


Boring chapter, ne? Sorry for making you guys waiting so long, I guess that 15 reviews thing was just an excuse. I'm so lazy!

So now that Kai's on to him, what will Rei do next? Of course it's not like he knows that Kai knows about it, but still. I've made Kai a psychopath! God have mercy on me. I can't believe I did that! I'm so sorry Kai!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll never be able to forgive myself! I currently have 14 reviews, but thanks for trying minna! (Even though I didn't deserve it.)

Sorry if this chapter totally sucked, and yeah, I inserted that song just so this chapter could be slightly longer. You know what, I'm beginning to realize that a lot of the things I write doesn't match, seems jumping from one dimension to another doesn't it? Thanks for those of you who are still willing to bare with me. Report cards came home today, and even if I got 'Honours with Distinction', my grade doesn't seem to be too pleasing! Gotta work harder in science and gym.
Winter break is coming up! Have I already said that? Well if I have, it's just because that I'm really excited about it! I love Christmas!

'Til next time minna, Ja!
