Chapter 14: Busted!

Rei opened his eyes again as Kai finally pulled away after about a minute of a sweet kiss. He was completely red in the face n his eyes were in a complete daze. Kai chuckled looking at him. When he finally realized how he probably looked like then, Rei quickly lowered his head and hid his face behind his bangs.

"I didn't know you get embarrassed easily" Kai said.

"That's because… You… So suddenly…" Rei said in a low voice.

"But you didn't push me away this time" Kai smirked. Rei gulped. Well it was a fact and he wasn't sure either why he didn't stop Kai. Maybe because it felt a little too good? Realizing the train of his thoughts, Rei grew even redder, even up to his ears.

As soon as the cart stopped, Rei quickly got off. Kai was chuckling as he followed after him back to where his car was parked. Really, it was such a memorable and fun day. It's been so long since he's felt this kind of happiness and fulfillment. The feeling he thought he'd never experience again was given to him by Rei. Day by day, as time continued passing by, Kai was becoming more and more sure of what he feels for the cat. And it wouldn't be long till he finally confesses to him. Just a little more time, that was all he needed.

Night has fallen and the skies were clear without any stars and only a few clouds. The moon was bright and full. Kai sat on the veranda of his room while Rei was already sleeping in his own. Kai was glaring down at his phone as a phone number kept blinking on its monitor. He knew perfectly well who owned that set of numbers. He glared at it for a few more seconds then clicked it off. He threw it hard on the floor and the poor phone scattered to pieces.

"Go to hell" Kai gritted his teeth and went back inside his room. Then as he was about to get on his bed, the telephone suddenly rang. He had intended to ignore it but the ringing was starting to annoy the hell out of him. He groaned then went for the phone. He hesitated for a second but then picked it up and answered it. And before he could even say 'what' a loud roar already came from the other line that made him pull the phone away from his ears.

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING YOUR GODDAMNED PHONE? DON'T YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CALL YOU FOR THE ENTIRE FREAKING DAY YOU BASTARD!"

Kai rolled his eyes then put the phone back down. He pulled the phone's wire from the outlet and cut it. He then headed towards his bed again. He's gotten one leg up the cushion when Rei's cell phone on top of his bedside table started vibrating. He stared at the phone for a second with a raised eyebrow. After a few more seconds he finally took the phone, opened it and answered whoever was calling on the other line.

"What?" Kai grunted.

"I knew it, you're keeping kitten's phone" Tala said.

"I'm dead tired and totally annoyed right now. If you're going to tell me something it'd better be extremely important because if it isn't I'll torture you to death" Kai said in a poisonous voice.

Tala gulped (although Kai didn't see it of course).

"Well uh…"

"WHAT?" It was now Kai's turn to roar, although it wasn't as loud as Tala's voice.

"Your dad, he's coming" Tala said after taking a deep breath.

"I know" Kai rolled his eyes and replied matter-of-factly.

"You do? Well this was extremely pointless then" Tala rolled his eyes.

"Hn" Kai snorted.

"Can you just tell me where you are right now? Although I really have a pretty good guess already"

"If you already know then don't ask!" Kai shouted and shut the phone off. He opened the drawer and threw it inside.

"I said it was just a guess!" Tala yelled back although he could hear nothing from the other line anymore but the sound of the continuous beeping. Tala glared at the phone then threw it back to his pocket.

"That sourpuss" he grunted and slumped back on his seat.

"What'd did he say?" Bryan asked as he killed the engine of the car. They've decided to spend the night in a hotel before continuing their journey.

"He knows already" Tala replied.

"Then that means he has a plan?"

"I dunno. He didn't say anything other than that. Let's just go to them to make sure. Uncle is a terrifying man. I'm worried about what he might do to Rei" Tala said and looked out the car window.

"This is unusual" Bryan chuckled.

"Hm?"

"You, the way you're acting now. You're worried about someone you've barely known for less than a year. It's not something you'd normally do. I don't think you've ever really been worried about people not close to you or someone you don't consider important to you. Has Rei become really that significant to you?"

Tala hesitated to answer. It's not that he didn't want to answer; it's just that he can't think of the reason why. Honestly speaking, he wasn't sure yet either. And Bryan was right, he barely knew Rei and yet, he's caring for the guy as if he was his brother or something. Last time he checked, he had no care for anybody else other than Kai, Bryan, Spencer and Ian and his family.

"I… really don't know either" Tala muttered and leaned on the car window.

"I just hope he doesn't become someone I'd have to be jealous of" Bryan teased. Tala turned to him and smirked. He leaned on Bryan and kissed him on the lips.

"Never" he said under his breath.

The sun had only risen to the sky and Rei was still in a deep sleep when Kai secretly went out to meet some people downtown. He wore a white turtle neck shirt with the sleeves folded up to is elbows matched with a pair of black leather pants. He reminded one of the maids to not let know where he went or who he was going to meet with.

"Just tell him I had an important business to attend to" Kai instructed then left the house in his Mercedes Benz.

Kai drove past stores and other houses and after about thirty minutes of driving, he finally reached his destination: an Italian restaurant owned by a colleague of his. He pulled up to the parking lot, killed off the car's engine and emerged out the car. The people around all had their eyes on the handsome red-eyed Russian. Some of the women were giggling and whispering things like 'He's so handsome' or 'Is he some kind of a movie actor?' Of course, since its Kai Hiwatari, he completely ignored the commotion behind him as he went straight to the restaurant.

"Welcome, Mr. Kai Hiwatari" a waiter greeted as he approached the Russian.

"Mr. Garland has been waiting for you. Please follow me." The waiter then led Kai to the upper floors of the restaurant where Garland Siebald's office was. He is the owner of the restaurant and also one of Hiwatari Enterprises' loyal clients. Like Kai, he became the president of his family's company after his father decided to retire from the job.

Kai followed suit after the waiter. And just like outside, the people in the dining area were all staring and giggling at Kai. Sorry ladies, this guy's already have his eyes set on someone else.

The waiter opened the door of the president's office and Kai entered. Garland looked up from the documents he was currently reading and flashed a smile at Kai. He had expected the usual rolling of Kai's eyes at this but when the Russian smiled back instead, Garland's eyes widened in shock and his mouth fell open. It was then that Kai narrowed his eyes at him.

"I can pretty much smile too you know" Kai grunted.

"Ha ha, I was just caught off guard. For all the years we've known each other, I don't really remember seeing you smile even once so I was just really surprised" Garland laughed then sat with Kai to the couch.

"Anyway, you have nothing to worry about now. I've made sure Rei's friends won't be harmed in any possible way by your father."

"That's good then" Kai said, sighing.

"But it's rare to have you go through these measures just to protect someone" Garland cocked an eyebrow and smirked.

"Rei is not just someone" Kai said.

"Ah I knew it. I have to admit though I never thought you'd ever fall for someone. I've gotta meet this Rei and thank him for changing you" Garland chuckled.

"Rei's done something I thought no one else can" Kai said and got up. He looked out the glass windows of the office.

"I always thought it'll be alright living alone and that it was preferable to me. I thought having a partner would only be a nuisance and thus I never tried searching for one. But when I met Rei, everything I believed to be the fact turned out to be false. Life became meaningful because he came. I don't think I can imagine continuing life without him anymore and that's why," Kai turned around and looked at Garland, "I will never let anything happen to him. Even if I'd have to lose everything I have now, I won't allow losing him."

Garland chuckled to himself. He has never imagined Kai could become someone who actually cared for someone else and is even willing to give up everything he's worked for just to keep that person. If Rei was the reason for this change, then he'd be me more than happy to help get him and Kai together.

Hilary was walking downtown after buying some ingredients for Chateau de Fleur. Since Rei got kidnapped by Kai, she and Tala had been the one taking care of things in the café. But then, a few days later, it was Tala's turn to be kidnapped by Bryan. Although, it's more like ditching than kidnapping really.

"Ugh, leaving me alone to manage the café, do they think I'm some kind of a superhuman?" Hilary grunted stomping her feet as she walked.

"Having creases on your forehead at such an early hour?" Hiro said leaning towards Hilary. Hilary jumped backwards in surprise.

"Gah!' she shrieked in what could be her highest tone.

"Wow" Hiro whistled.

"Don't scare me like that!" Hilary yelled blushing up to her ears.

"I didn't scare you. It wasn't my fault you were too preoccupied with something you didn't even noticed me in front of you" Hiro smiled.

"Whatever" Hilary snorted and started walking passed Hiro.

"Oh hey wait Hilary" Hiro called grabbing Hilary's arm.

"What?"

"I gotta tell you something. It's really important."

"Is that you Dr. Granger?" A woman with two other friends then approached them.

"Dr. Amber, pleasant meeting you here" Hiro smiled shaking the older woman's hand.

"It's really been a while. How have you been? I heard you're still continuing your research" Dr. Amber said.

"That's right. I'm actually almost done with it." Hiro kept a hold of Hilary's hand when the brunette tried escaping while he was busy talking.

"Goddamit, let go Hiro" Hilary hissed,

"I see that's good, congratulations then. But then again, being funded by the Hiwatari Enterprises, it's really no surprise anymore that you'd succeed" Dr. Amber said. Hilary twitched hearing this. Her eyes grew big. Hiro gasped and immediately released Hilary's wrist. He was shaking his head at Dr. Amber.

"Could you repeat that?" Hilary said.

"D-Dr. Amber, we still have some other business to attend so it was really nice seeing you here, well then, bye!" Hiro said and tried to drag Hilary with him but the brunette was not in the mood yet to leave.

"Please repeat your last statement Dr. Amber" Hilary said in a poisonous voice. Hiro gulped again.

"U-Uh, well, I said, 'But then again, being funded by the Hiwatari Enterprises, it's really no surprise anymore that you'd succeed'" Dr. Amber repeated nervously.

Hilary glared harder at Hiro.

"Your research… is about Rei's sickness am I right?"

"Uh… yeah" Hiro answered in a low voice, avoiding Hilary's eyes.

"And Kai's paying for it?" Hilary took a step forward which made Hiro to take a step back. Hiro hesitated to give a reply although his silence was already an obvious response.

"ANSWER ME!" Hilary roared.

Whoo I finally finished it! Lucky I was able to squeeze writing this one with all my school works. I still have an exam tomorrow, wah, wish me luck guys! :D Oh and my final exams are next week so, I'm gotta be busier than ever so don't expect a quick update cause I really can't do it T.T

Well, in any case, I hope you all liked this chapter. Hilary's found out about Kai and Hiro's deal and she doesn't really like it. Now what's gonna happen next?

See you all on the next chapter!
