CHAPTER FOUR
Shocking Discoveries
Six weeks. Six weeks without hearing Kai's voice, feeling his body or looking into his eyes. They hadn't learned anything new, and they'd pretty much given up trying. This made Rei upset, and for a couple days he barely came out of their room. He was more content to sleep in bed, getting up only to pee. Tala got him to eat a few things and Bryan made sure one of them checked on him every hour, but other than that they couldn't do anything for the neko who had so many questions. It was the morning of the forty-third day of Kai being gone, Rei knew because he was starting to (depressingly so) keep track of the days Kai was gone, that Rei finally got out of bed.
He felt nauseous, but his hair was disgusting and though he wanted to crawl back into bed he knew he needed food. And he needed to walk, and move around again. His body was stiff and his neck a bit sore, and he had a bit of a different way of walking when he walked to the en-suite bathroom. He turned on the light and slowly untied his braid, before tugging off his top. He looked at himself in the mirror, eyes focusing on the bump of his lower abdomen. That hadn't been there forty three days ago. He frowned, figuring stress and eating was catching up with his body. He undressed fully and got in the shower, standing under the hot stream of water until his skin was pulsing from the heat and the mirrors were full of condensation.
When he got out he tied a towel around his waist and around his hair, walking out into the bedroom to find clothes. He decided to put on a decent enough outfit, and grabbed a pair of a pair of snug fitting jeans. He pulled them on to his waist and frowned when they wouldn't button. He glared in the mirror and tugged, trying hard to fit into his jeans. He couldn't have gained that much weight, could he? He tried and tried, until tears came to his eyes and he gave up, pulling them off and tossing them across the room in frustration.
"Fuck!" He yelled and grabbed a pair of black sweat pants and a dark blue tank top.
The pants were adjustable and comfortable, and the top clung to him a bit. He frowned in the mirror at his body, brushing his hair with a pout and holding back tears of frustration. This is why he needed Kai back. He managed to braid his hair and tie it off before going out of the room and down to the dining room where Tala and Bryan were, talking quietly and eating breakfast. They both looked at him in surprise to see him up, and Rei felt Tala's icy blue eyes look at what was a noticeable weight gain. He blushed and looked down, biting his lower lip to fight back tears and grabbing a plate to dish out food. Two pancakes, a piece of toast, scrambled eggs, three pieces of bacon, two breakfast sausages and some little hash browns. His plate was full, but he was starving.
Rei ate silently, listening to the news that he could hear from the living room's big TV and sound system. He wasn't very interested, eating glumly as Tala and Bryan stayed silent also. He hadn't seen Jeffery for awhile now, since at least two days ago when he'd stopped in his room to question if he needed anything. He wondered where the butler could be as he took a drink of orange juice and began to finish off his plate, lastly the bacon. He took a bite and chewed just as the newscaster finished speaking about the latest musical performance in Russia.
"And now on a more serious note, Kai Hiwatari is seen walking out of Russia's head government offices today after weeks of a series of court trials." Her voice reported and everything was dropped as Rei ran to the living room and turned the volume up higher.
Tala and Bryan were quickly right behind him and they watched as the cameras and flashing lights form photographers showed Kai walking down the long steps of the government building. He looked tired and wary, not looking directly at the cameras. Jeffery was there too Rei noticed with a gasp, as well as Kai's lawyer he recognized from Japan.
"Mr. Hiwatari, what has been the big issue between you and Voltaire? He's been seen going into this building too!"
"Mr. Hiwatari what are your comments on Voltaire's latest release from jail?" Another reporter asked loudly, pressing mikes towards him.
"No comments." Kai muttered and continued walking, his lawyer carrying a big briefcase and Jeffery opening the door to the limo and following both men into it.
"What the fuck?" Tala muttered as they stared at the screen and Bryan swore in Russian, something Rei understood as "bitch".
"Our cameras have been banned from going near the courts or the government building since the beginning of the trials to keep private matters private, but according to witnesses there has been a big fuss over this situation." The newscaster said before going on to talk again about the floods.
Tala picked up the remote and clicked mute, and they all just stared for a moment before Rei covered his mouth as he gagged then ran to the bathroom and vomited up everything he'd eaten for breakfast. Shuddering and coughing, Tala was right behind him when he stood up; rubbing his back.
"Rei I think we have to go get you medicine." He said quietly and Rei slowly nodded. "Bryan we'll be back later alright? You phone the government building, and then hotels near it. And anywhere else to figure out where the hell Hiwatari is." He said and Bryan went to do that as Tala grabbed a white sweater to zip up a little bit of his neck.
He handed Rei a big red sweater and Rei pulled it on, rubbing his forehead a bit. Tala then walked out to the garage, where the driver was watching TV and eating a salad comfortably in his little station. He looked up when they walked in, grabbed his hat and got to the limo, opening the back door for them. They got in and he shut the door before opening the garage and driving out.
"Where to?" He questioned and Tala looked over his shoulder.
"The nearest drug store." Tala said then shut the window between them and the driver, crossing his arms and sitting silently.
They were soundless as they sat there and Rei stared out the window, his mind whirling with new thoughts s he watched buildings and people go by. One thing really struck him about seeing Kai on the news; the one news reporter's question about Voltaire being released from jail. Why hadn't Kai told him that? After about eight minutes of driving they pulled up and got out, Tala leading the way into the store. Rei yawned and followed him, looking around as they walked into the middleclass store. He frowned when they passed the medicine section and the pharmacy, about to object when Tala stopped to stare at the shelves then grab a box. Rei didn't know how to read Russian very well, but it didn't take a genius to figure out what it was.
"Tala that's a pregnancy test." He said and Tala looked up and into his eyes.
"I know." He said and began to walk to the checkout section. "Pick out a drink too." He said as they passed the drink fridges and very, very confused Rei grabbed a bottle of Ginger Ale, figuring that would be best if he was sick.
Tala pulled out his wallet and paid, speaking short Russian with the guy behind the counter before grabbing the plastic bag with their purchases. Instead of walking forward though to the doors, he turned and walked towards the back, Rei following in puzzlement. Tala pushed into the men's washroom, and Rei walked in too, before the redhead flipped the lock. He tossed him the bottle of Ginger Ale, beginning to open the box for the test.
"Drink up." Tala said and Rei frowned, cracking the lid and twisting it off before drinking it slowly but steadily. Once he was near finished, Tala told him to stop and handed him the little stick.
"You don't honestly think I'm pregnant Tala, do you?" Rei said in exasperation and the slim Russian raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow at him.
"I honestly do." He responded calmly and Rei stared before just going into one of the stalls, not using the urinal.
It was awkward for him, but thankfully he had had to pee from that drink. It was difficult because he wasn't exactly a woman, but he finally could flush the toilet and go out and wash his hands. He set the test on the counter and felt Tala watching him, glancing up after he dried his hands.
"How long do we have to wait?" he asked and Tala smirked.
"Four to six minutes." He said and Rei frowned, leaning against the wall.
They were silent for a couple minutes, before Rei grabbed the test and simply stared at it, anxious to see the result from it.
"Staring at it won't help Rei." Tala said from his position on the counter, his long legs hanging off.
"I know that." Rei said, but stared anyway at the little screen.
He couldn't be pregnant...he was a guy! Guys didn't get pregnant. Sure he was different, a neko-jin, but that couldn't be that big of a difference could it? He was getting nervous as Tala examined his nails.
"Oh my God." He breathed and Tala looked up, taking it from him. His ice blue eyes widened a fraction.
"Holy shit." He muttered and Rei swallowed, looking down at his clothes-covered body.
"I'm pregnant."
