Puzzle Pieces
Break Down
"You bastard!"
A certain blue haired young man was slammed against the school lockers by a very frustrated and annoyed Gakupo. Len, Mikuo and Taito all looked at the helpless teen pressed against the cold locker doors with a glare in their eyes.
"What the hell do you know, Kaito? Spill it!" Gakupo yelled, slamming Kaito into the lockers again.
"Y-you're ones to talk…" Kaito coughed.
"What are you talking about?" Mikuo stepped forward, but Taito held him back.
"What happened to Miyako and the others? What did you do to them?" Gakupo hissed, tightening his grip on Kaito collar.
"What about you guys?" Kaito coughed again. "This is just a little pay back for all the shit you did."
"Why you son of a-," Len started.
"Len wait," Taito interrupted. "Big bro, what are you getting at?"
"You guys honestly don't remember what you did?" it was Kaito's turn to glare at the group.
"Of course not! We wake up and all hell breaks loose on us!" Len yelled.
"Kaito, if you know something you better tell us…" Mikuo said, clenching his fist tight.
"Kaito, I'm asking you as a friend, you've got to help us. We're already close to breaking here," Gakupo said, in a calmer manner. "Anymore of this and who knows what will happen."
Kaito didn't answer but his eyes wondered, looking around the group. He sighed and finally spoke up, but it wasn't the answer they were looking for.
"And I'm guessing Rei is just taking a stroll, right…?
They froze, looking around each other? Where had Rei gone? Gakupo released his grip on Kaito as the group hurried down the hall, looking for the raven haired teen. Being his best friend, Len knew better then any of them that Rei took losing Yuiko pretty bad. In fact, the raven haired teen hadn't been trying to cover up the pain his heart suffered.
Len knew better then to leave Rei alone, especially in the state he was in right now. He knew better then to let Rei out of his sight, but he and the others were so caught up in finding answers, that Len wasn't paying any attention to his friend at all. Where would Rei be?
Simple…
…
…
…
…just find Yuiko…
…
…

"…Yuiko…."
She turned around. She wasn't expecting to see him. At first it caught her off guard. He caught her off guard. His raven hair covered his golden eyes and he was messing with his fingers. He looked like an embarrassed kid trying to tell his crush he liked her.
Yuiko knew that she should just ignore him, just like her and her friends planned on, but something was eating at her. She didn't know what it was. But, what ever it was, it made her stop where she was and stare.
"Yuiko…." Rei said again.
He looked up at her, his golden eyes pleading, his teeth biting down on his lower lip. Yuiko wanted to run, or worse, run up to him, but she quickly threw that thought out. She put on her apathetic face and played everything off as nothing.
"What do you want?" Yuiko asked dully.
Rei flinched at the dull, harsh words. Where had she gone…?
"Yuiko… I…." Rei tried.
"Spit it out, I haven't got all day," Yuiko said with annoyance.
Rei gripped his arm tightly. He….he….
…he couldn't take it anymore…
Yuiko yelped when he suddenly grabbed her by the arms. For a minute, she was scared. Had she….had they…gone too far? What was he going to do to her?
"What did I do…?" Rei asked softly.
"W-what….?" Yuiko stammered, not hearing Rei all too well.
"Yuiko, what did I do!" he yelled.
Her heart stopped at the very person in front of her. He was shaking, frightening….
…crying…
"R-Rei…" Yuiko murmured his name.
And it felt so foreign on her tongue.
"Yuiko what ever it is I'll fix it!" Rei yelled, tears streaming down his pale face.
Yuiko could see bags under his golden eyes. When was the last time he had slept?
"Yuiko please…. I….I'm at the end of my rope…" he took in a shaky breath, his eyes never leaving her.
"I'm begging you Yuiko! Please, I swear I'll fix it, I'll do anything!"
His grip tightened but Yuiko couldn't feel the pain. She was too focused on those golden eyes that spilled with tears. Her own version began to blur.
"Yuiko please forgive me! What ever I did I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
He….
…
…
…
He hugged her. He held her tight in his arms and cried in her shoulder.
"I'm sorry…. I'm so sorry…." Rei hiccupped.
Her own eyes were brimming with tears. Her body was trembling just as much as his and her heart was screaming awful things at her. Her hands raised, her fingers twitching and shaking beyond her control. She felt like a horrid witch. She thought that she should be burned and hanged and put through torture for what she did to him. For what she reduced him to….
….she held him back.
"Yuiko…." Rei breathed, holding her tighter. "…I love you so much…."
She had to pull away then. She stepped back, tears streaming down her face. He looked at her, wanting to understand why she pulled away, wanting to understand why she was crying and not looking for comfort.
She couldn't speak. The words were lost somewhere in the back of her throat. She couldn't move anymore. She thought that if she did, she would crumble onto the floor. She feared…that if she turned away now…
…she would lose him forever…
"….I love you too…" she sobbed.
And she turned the other way, running with her tear soaked face buried in her hands.
"Yuiko…" Rei murmured, falling to his knees.
His friends' voices came from behind him, but he found he didn't care…..
…
…
…
…she said she loved him.
