Chapter 4: Isn't It Obvious?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai glanced at the clock for what felt like the hundredth time. He felt anxious, worried even. He had no idea why though. Maybe he was losing it.

It had been a full week since Rei had been there. He had gotten skinnier after losing loads of weight and didn't scream anymore when he was hit or raped. Kai sat up from his spot on the bed to think about the thin Neko-Jin. Altogether, he had made seven hundred and fifty dollars because of Rei, but for some reason, he felt empty, like he didn't want it.

"I'm back master." Rei whispered like he was told to do when he got back.

The Neko-Jin limped into the room, making his way over to Kai. "Here master." he said, handing Kai eighty-five dollars.

Kai took the money and turned away from Rei, taking out a small silver box and placing the money inside. After locking the box back up, he placed it back in his dresser drawer. He turned back towards Rei to find him leaning against the bed asleep. Surprisingly, he felt no anger. Before, he would have been furious, but now, he felt nothing.

Standing up from the bed, he picked the Neko-Jin up and placed him on the bed. He'd pretend to be angry later when Rei woke up. He walked to the door and left the room to go find Tala. Maybe he'd know why he was acting weird.

"Tala!" Kai called to his friend.

Tala was walking along the halls, not doing anything important. He paused and turned towards the young hunter, before he turned back around and continued his walk. Kai easily caught up with the teen prince, seeing as he wasn't moving that fast.

"Tala, what's wrong with me?" Kai asked. "Might as well not beat around the bush." Kai thought to himself.

"I don't know. Why do you ask?" Tala inquired, not facing his friend.

"Well it's just...that Neko-Jin." Kai sighed, crossing his arms.

"What about him?"

"Well...I don't know. I'm not as angry with him as I was just a few days ago, and I'm not punishing him anymore. I can't bring myself to do it. I actually feel guilty whenever he comes back." Kai explained.

"Isn't it obvious?" Tala asked monotonously. "You're in love with the Neko-Jin."
