Chapter 3: Kowarenai Ai ga Hoshii No (I want an Unbreakable Love)

Rei splashed some water onto his face, and sighed. /Kai's going to dump me. I know it./ He thought. Drying his face, Rei came down for breakfast. Kai had come home the night before, but he hadn't said anything to Rei. "What's on the menu?" He asked sounding cranky, not having gotten much sleep. "Oatmeal." Rei was surprised to find, that Kai had been the one who replied.

//I wanted to apologize, for being cold to you.// Kai thought to Rei. //Oh...// Rei thought back. //Something wrong?// Kai asked. //Other than the fact, that you declared undying love for Tala, on national television yesterday, nothing, nothing at all.// Rei replied bitterly. //We'll talk after breakfast. I really did want to apologize for being cold.// Kai said after a few minutes, and handed Rei a bowl of oatmeal.

Rei didn't reply. There was an awkward silence between them, that thankfully ended, when Tyson entered the kitchen. "Something smells good." He commented. "Kai cooked." Kenny supplied, before working away with Dizzi. "You couldn't have better timing Tyson. The tension in the air between these two, was just about to suffocate me." The trapped bit-beast commented.

"Why is everyone so gloomy? It's a wonderful morning." Max commented, as he entered the kitchen. "It's normal for Kai, but Rei...scary." Daichi added. Kai simply handed them their breakfast with a glare, giving Tyson a second bowl to stop him from asking for seconds. He pointed to the giant pot of oatmeal on the stove, giving Tyson permission to have as much as he'd like.

"Max you wash dishes, Daichi you dry, Tyson you put them away." He commanded once Rei was done putting their dirty dishes in the sink, and grabbed Rei's hand, nearly dragging him to their room.

"I said we'd talk after breakfast, so go ahead, and let it out." Kai said from where he lay, half on and half off his bed.

"You cheated on me. Then again, I'm not sure I can really accuse you of that, since apparently, you were with Tala first." Rei stated. He was curled up, in a fetal position of sorts, on his own bed.

"For six years, we were together, it started when we were twelve, and too young to know it, but all it took, was one kiss. When I left, I thought I'd have to cut, all of my ties, with the Demolition Boys, and so I forced myself, to forget about Tala. It was hard at first, but when I met you, when we got close, I did. I forgot. When we became a couple, I actually believed, that those six years, meant nothing. I believed, that two years was enough, to move on, and let you in. At seventeen, I actually thought you were my soul mate." Kai chose his words carefully.

"What changed? What could possibly, have changed your mind about us, in three days?" Rei asked.

"I never thought the Demolition Boys would ever want me back, and I had to prove myself worthy of them in the end, either way. When I found out they had come to ask for my help, all of the memories, came rushing back. And when Tala said my name, before running off, away from the bridge we were trying to hide under, it was all I needed, to realize, that he meant a lot more to me, than I had first thought." Kai replied.

"Was it really that easy, for you to forget, the year and a half, that we've spent together?" Rei questioned, looking at Kai helplessly, brokenly.

"I'm not going to forget it. I thought about it, Dranzer helped me realize, that what we had, it was a relationship based on lust, and dependence. I became dependent on your affection, and you, became dependent, on my lust. Even so, the memories will always be something I hold dear in my heart. I never meant to hurt you Rei, but I'm confident, that you can, and will get over this." Kai explained.

"NO! Kai, I don't want anyone else. I love you, why are you doing this to me?" Rei snapped.

"I realized something, when I analyzed my relationships with you and Tala. I loved your company, and I was happy with you, but I hated it when we slept together, especially when you let your hair down. It never felt right, and when you let your hair down, you look like a girl, so I felt like I was cheating on Dranzer." Kai blushed slightly, at the last bit.

//I, am the only girl in Kai's life, and don't you forget it!// Dranzer's voice revebrated in both their minds.

"Anything else?" Rei asked, wanting to know what else was so flawed about him, that Kai didn't love him.

"I hated it that you would get too emotional sometimes. I spent most of my life in a torture and training facility, I'm still not used to dealing with emotions. You really need to remember, that you're not a woman Rei." Kai retorted, and sat properly on his bed.

"So, what you're saying is, you don't love me, because I'm too much like a woman, is that right?" Rei asked.

"Yes, but there's a reason, why you should drop any ideas, to change the way you act. Be yourself, or else, when you do find your soul mate, you'll lose them. Nobody, wants to live in a lie." Kai advised wisely.

"So, how did you figure out, that you were actually in love with Tala, and not just missing a friend?" Rei asked, wiping a few tears away.

"Our relationship was concealed, but whenever I had sex with Tala, it wasn't based on lust, it wasn't because he wanted it, and I wanted to make him happy, it was because we both wanted it, and it was based on love. It was based on the fact, that we meant, everything, to each other. All I had to do, was think back to the look in his eyes, whenever we were alone together, and sometimes even around others. Those ice blue eyes of his, that are cold, like nothing else can be, never looked at me coldly. I could see the passionate love, that resonated in his eyes. That was enough. My eyes were filled with it too. I haven't got even one memory, where I don't have that look in my eyes, whenever he's involved." Kai slapped himself, noticing how mushy he was getting.

"I still don't understand. You're leaving me, all because you think, a look into your memories, has enlightened you." Rei glared half heartedly at Kai.

"I'm leaving you, because I, do not love you Rei. It is as simple as that. Even if Tala hadn't taken me back, I would still leave you, because I don't want to give you false hope, nor do I want us to live in a lie." Kai got up, gave Rei a final kiss, and left.

"Practice is canceled for today. Rei's not feeling well. Let him come down when he's ready." Rei heard him say, before the front doors of the dojo slammed shut.

For a few hours, all Rei did, was listen to the same song, over and over again. A song by some shuffle group, from a record company called Up Front Agency's subdivision called Hello Project. The group was called 7Air, and the song, had the world's most fitting title, for what Rei longed for with Kai. Kowarenai Ai ga Hoshii No. Translation: I want an Unbreakable Love.

He fell asleep listening to the song. When he woke up, the music was still playing, the moon shining light into the room he shared with the object of his affections, and the object of his affections, nowhere in sight. Rei went down to the kitchen, and fished a knife out of one of the drawers. Going out into the backyard, he went over to the fish pond, and slit his wrists. He cried, watching the water, be polluted by his blood. It was releaving, the cold water numbing the pain, as his wrists bled. Rei quickly fell unconscious.

"Wake up!" Tyson groaned opening his eyes. "For Christ's sake what?" He asked. Kai had been trying to wake him up for a good ten minutes. "Fine, next time I won't wake you, when one of our teammates, is on the brink of life and death." Kai growled back. "Kai the ambulance is here." Max informed. "Call Hilary and Kenny. We'll meet at the hospital." Kai said, before going to help the paramedics.

"What exactly happened?" Tyson asked, having woken Daichi. "Rei slit his wrists." Max informed, before running off to do as Kai had ordered. "What, come again?" Hilary rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, disbelief evident in her voice. "Rei slit his wrists!" Max exclaimed loudly. "I'm heading to the hospital now." Hilary said after writing down the name, and hung up. "You better have a good reason, for calling me at ten to three in the morning!" Kenny exclaimed grumpily.

"Sorry Chief, but we've got a serious problem on our hands. Rei slit his wrists!" Max all out yelled back. "Alright, I understand. Sorry for yelling at you." Kenny hung up after writing down the name of the hospital as well, and left a note for his parents before hollering for a cab. The cab conveniently came with Hilary.

"I swear, you Bladebreakers, are more hassle, than you're worth." Hilary said crossing her arms over her chest. If you didn't know the girl, you'd think she was a cold uncaring person, but Hilary's eyes, were shimmering with unshed tears. "Calm down, the one thing we shouldn't be doing is panicking." Kenny said wisely, but wiped a few tears of his own away.

"Is Rei okay?" Hilary and Kenny asked in unison, as they entered the waiting room. "They haven't said anything." Kai explained, forcing himself to stop pacing. He didn't want them to panic. "Mr. Hiwatari." An elderly woman came in, and called for Kai. "Just Kai please." He said. "Your friend is going to be fine. The salt water in the pond actually kept him from bleeding out." She said.

"Can he have visitors?" Kai asked. "Just keep it at two at a time. He's going to be fine, but he's still recovering." She answered. Kai asked for the room number, and sent Tyson and Max in first. He sent Hilary and Kenny in next, allowed Daichi to go alone, and then finally went in himself.

"...You came." Rei whispered surprised. "Fool! I've lost all respect for you Rei. I broke up with you, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you. I love you very much Rei. You kept listening to some song with the message of how every girl, wants an unbreakable love. You won't get that from me. I love you, like a younger brother, and like a best friend. If that's not enough for you, I'm sorry, but even doing this, won't change my mind." Kai started off harsh, but remembered Rei was recovering, and softened his voice.

"I don't want to live, without your love." Rei murmured. "That sucks, because you never truly had my love in the first place." Kai said harshly. "If you kill yourself, you're going to miss out on someone great, and they're going to miss out on you." He added, in a softer voice.

"I just want you." Rei whispered. "Remember, if you live, we can at-least be friends, if you kill yourself, I'll take flowers to your grave for a few years, and then you'll be nothing, but an immensely distant memory." Kai said seriously, before leaving.

Rei started crying, the instant he left. "Why don't you love me?" His question was a mere whimper. //You should go back home.// Drigger's voice suddenly revebrated in his mind. //Why?// He asked. //To forget. I know you can move on, but you need time to heal, and forget, and forgive.// Was the reply. //Okay.// Rei said weakly, and decided to get some sleep.
