As the day progressed, the girls wouldn't leave us alone, hell their was even fan-boys man...fanboys....and some of those damn fan-girls where plotting, I know they where. Me and Haru sat next to Rei in class, Haru kept passing her notes, as I tried reasuring Rei I was going to handle it later, and believe me...I already had something in mind....When lunch finaly arrived we tried eating our lunch in peice, Momiji kept giving me worried glances, I think its because he knew I was very, very unhappy.
"Crazy witch!" some one yelled at Rei, I jerked but the next thing I know Rei was already in their face.
"You want to see a crazy witch you stupid bitch! I'll show you a crazy witch. You picked the wrong fucking day to mess with me. I'm going to put a spell on your ass as soon as I get home! Stay the fuck away from me, my boyfriend, and the rest of the Sohma's or you will regret ever setting eyes on them!" Rei Stormed, I could practicly see the fire around her...I was shocked, it took me a moment to get over it but when I did I quickly scrambled to Rei who had collapsed to the ground crieing. I held her trying to puzzle it together as Haru stroked her hair comfortingly.
"Rei, please tell me what's wrong" I asked hoping for an answer, when her cry's didn't subside I turned to Haru, "I know you know what's wrong with her. Please tell me."
"Is it alright to tell her what's wrong?" He asked her, she nedded as she kept crying.
"Her mom called her this morning. She told her that she and her dad were moving to Italy permanently. Rei is going to stay here and she is going to keep the house and they're going to send her money and stuff. They told her that she is going to have everything taken care of and still get all of the things that she wants and needs. Her mom didn't even hear it in her voice that she was upset about it all."
"Aw, Rei, I'm so sorry. I can't believe they're just going to leave you here like that" I said, already thinking of ways to assasinate them, I know I wouldn't do it because Rei would be devestated.
"Yeah, I didn't want to tell my mom that I was upset because she was so happy about the move. She and Dad work so hard to give me all that they give me. I wouldn't dare complain about it all. They love what they do and they want to give me all of the things that they never got when they were kids."
"I know. You never really complain about anything."
"They said that I could have as many roommates as I wanted to keep me company. They want me to be happy and not lonely."
"Aww, it's okay sweetie. We're all here for you. You really shouldn't bottle up everything anymore. It's not good for you." I said, hoping she'd open up more to me.
"I want to go home." She said on the brink of crying some more. "Please tell me I can go home."
"Sure. You know I never mind skipping school," Okay so sue me? I was grinning, I love skipping school.
"I don't know if I want to come back to school anymore. I'll just stay home from now on." She said....man I hate what I'm about to say but it must be done.
"Don't say that, Rei, you're just depressed."
"I know I'm depressed. But I have every right to be. Pretty soon it's just going to be me and you. The Sohma's will have to go home eventually." Thats what she thinks....
"I told you I wasn't going anywhere." Haru told her confidently, with a smile. "I'm going to talk to my parents about moving in at your place. Can't leave my girl all alone, now can I?" I could see her tiny smile, yes Haru was definatly good for her.
As we where headed back I was already making plans to fully pamper Rei, I was determined to make her feel better. After all she's been their for me, if it wasn't for her I'd be the living wreck, though I'm not sure if she relizes it or not. All the years, even though I have always protected her from perverts, she was the one thats protected me from my own innder demons, more than she knows.
