Hello readers! Before we begin, I would like to thank everyone for the support of this story. I wasn't sure about this at first because after a few chapters I was like f*** I don't know what to do next. I don't want to rush the plot, but I'm not quite sure where it's going :/ Haha I know, lame story.
Haou:You think?
Me:Shut up. Anyway, I don't own Yugioh GX or its characters. I only own supporting characters such as Kai and Eri. I hope I didn't make Rei out of character, but in my mind, this is how I imagined her when she was older. And yes, I know she's four years younger than Judai, I didn't know this when I started the story, but oh well, its an AU afterall
Rei:That's sad
Me:Shut up. Now I hope you enjoy the chapter. If you have any ideas for the next one, please share. I also apologize if anyone seems OOC
"You're still awake?"
Kai looked over to see Edo standing in the doorway of his tent. His silver hair gleamed in the moonlight and his blue eyes had a calm look in them. Kai gave a tired smile. "Yeah, I guess I can't sleep very well. Too much is going on."
Edo nodded. "I know what you mean, with your sister."
Kai tightened his grip on his bed sheets. "I just can't get over the fact that she's gone. I mean, truly gone. And it's my fault."
"Would you mind telling me the story of what happened? From your point of view."
Kai nodded. "It was a regular day, Rei was hanging out with Judai, and I was off doing whatever, when mom asked me to tell Rei that she needed sugar. I asked if I could go with her and she said yes. So we went to the square and I saw some Ra people dueling. I just got my duel disk last month and I had never gotten to duel someone outside of Slifer. I just wanted to know, but the guy didn't take me seriously. So I said I could duel better than the king and then he came and took me away." Kai gave out a shuttered breath. "And then Rei came to come get me. She didn't have to, but she did."
Edo nodded again at the boy. "Is that it?" Kai nodded and Edo came into the tent and sat at the end of the boys bed. "I can never understand why some people go that far just for someone else."
Kai gave him a shocked look. "Rei is my family; and family always looks out for one another."
Edo shrugged. "Doesn't matter. I don't have a family."
"Why don't you? Surely you must have had one once?"
Edo looked at the boy. "My mother died shortly after my first birthday, I'm not sure why, but it doesn't matter now. My father and I lived on our own up until I was seven. Then I found him dead in our house one day. One of his friends took me in, saying he was reasponsible for me now. It wasn't until recently that I discovered that he was the one who killed my father."
Kai looked at the older boy in shock. "What happened next?"
Edo smiled bitterly. "I killed the bastard."
"You killed him?"
"I sure did. And I don't regret it either. He took everything from me. So I decided to take something from him."
Kai nodded, but he was unsure about all of this. Looking at Edo's expression, it scared him a little how killing someone could have no affect on him. "Surely you must have felt something after you killed him?"
Edo paused, thinking for a moment. "I suppose I felt sad, he did raise me after my father, so we had some sort of bond. But it's sometimes difficult knowing someone and then finding out their completly different."
Kai looked at the ground. "I don't know that feeling."
Edo gave the boy a wry smile and then stood up and began to leave. Before he walked out the door, he said, "Trust me kid, you don't ever want to have that feeling."
"What are you doing up so late?" Haou asked Rei. The girl was sitting cross legged on the bed, with her back turned to him. He imagined she was pouting childishly. "Come on, you better answer."
Silence.
"Oh come on, all I did was chain you to the bed post."
Still, more silence.
"And put a leash on you, like a dog."
Even more silence.
"You're acting like a child. And you'll be sixteen in two monthes."
More and more silence.
Haou rolled his eyes, giving up on the girl. If she was going to act like this, fine. Let her. He had better things to do then waist time on some silly childish girl. Going over to his bed, he laid down and ignored her. Two could play at that game.
"Your majesty?"
'Oh, so now she's beginning to talk. Well to bad for her.' Haou thought to himself. Reaching over, he grabbed a book from under his bed and began to read it.
"Hello, earth to your majest..."
Silence.
"You know when someone's talking to you, you should reply."
He snorted at her bullshit. She was one to talk. Telling him how to talk to people, HA! If he had a funny bone in his body, he would be laughing at her right now. Inwardly smirking, he continued to read.
Poke
Haou blinked. Did she just poke him? Shrugging it off, he continued to read.
Poke
Haou's eye twitched. Rei grinned in triumph. She figured he must hate getting poked. Ironicly, so did Judai. Inching towards his face, she stuck her finger out.
What she did not expect, was for him to throw the book down and pin her on the bed, his frame looming over hers in a threatining way. Rei gulped. She really was good at doing stupid things. She was surprsised he hadn't killed her yet. His golden eyes bored into hers. "Why do you insist on poking me?"
Rei shrugged, though it was kind of hard to when someone has two hands on your shoulders. "Well you were ignoring me."
"What are you? Some kind of puppy that needs attention? And if I recall correctly, you were ignoring me first."
Rei looked away in defience. "So what? I'm still mad at you for putting me on a leash and chaining me to the bed, you psycho."
She instantly regretted saying that. His smirk began to grow, and he leaned down close to her ear. "I can be a psycho if you want me to be one." He licked her ear shortly after saying that. Rei shrieked and shoved him off her. "That's gross!"
Haou smirked again. "Come on, you know you enjoyed it."
"I did not!"
"I beg to differ. Yes you did."
"I did not!"
Haou rolled his eyes. "Whatever, I'm not in the mood to deal with your childish antics. I'm going to bed." He then rolled on to his side of the bed and closed his eyes. Rei stared at him for a long time, her cheeks still pink after what happened. "Your majesty..."
"Haou."
"What?"
"My name is Haou."
"But your the..."
"If your with me in public, I'm 'Your majesty or highness.' If we're alone, you can call me Haou."
"Oh, okay then Haou. Why am I here?"
He paused, not really expecting that question. Why was she here? He asked himself the same question. "You're here...you're here because I can use you as a barganing tool to those stupid rebellion groups." That was a lie, and he knew it, but Rei seemed to believe it.
"Oh, that makes sense." She said before awkwardly laying down on the bed. The chain was very uncomftorable. Haou looked at her and sighed. "Come here."
She came over to him and his undid the chain. Rei was begining to feel very small. He was...so much taller than her and they were very close to one another. She was glad the minute the chain was off her and she could move away from him. Before she could though, she felt his hand on her wrist. Her eyes met with his for a brief moment.
Leaning forward, he took a piece of her hair and brushed it behind her ear. Rei blinked at this action. He certainly was a strange man. "You look better with your hair behind your ear." He said and then he let go of her and leaned back against his pillow. Rei followed this action, not quite sure what that was all about, but decided to think about it later.
"Haou."
"What?"
"Good night."
"...Good night."
"Judai, what are you still doing up?"
Judai turned around to see Johan coming out of his tent, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Oh, hey Johan."
"You never answered my question. What are you still doing up?"
Judai stared up at the sky. "I was just thinking. Thinking about Rei, what O'Brien said."
"Don't take him to seriously, although, he is right. You do look like him."
"You've seen him?"
Johan paused and looked at the ground. "I've came across him before. It was a battle. He won, obviously."
"What's he like?" Judai asked, curious as to know why everyone was so afraid of him.
Johan thought for a minute. "He's...very...serious, cruel, and merciless."
"Why?"
"I don't know why."
Judai frowned. "I hope Rei is okay. From what you just said, he doesn't sound like a nice person."
"Trust me he's not."
Judai nodded. "But, he musn't have always been like this. I wonder what happened."
"Beats me. I just want to take him down and restore peace to the land. I hate how things our done. And so does everyone else."
"I'm not sure how things are done, but I agree with you. I just hope Rei's doing okay."
Johan took Judai's hand, lacing his fingers through his. Judai felt very unsure of this action. "Don't worry Judai, I'm sure she's fine."
Judai looked at the bluenette. "I hope your right Johan, I hope your right."
I'm not sure where that chapter came from, so I apologize if it was boring -_-
Haou:I didn't think it was boring. It had more of me
Me:I suppose it did, even if you were a bit 00C. Anyway, review! No flames, but everything else is acceptable. I plan to update this story once a week. Lets hope I stick to that plan
