reviews pps, much appreciated. And I know a lot of you have issues with the
whole Kai flying a helicopter but I wanted them to arrive in style. Here we
go then, Chapter 2. again.
Arrival
The past two weeks had been hard on Rei and he was exhausted now. He lay there, on his soft warm bed, just wanting to fall asleep, forget all his worries and dream of his Kai. It's been four, almost five months since they'd first got together after Kai's beating, and it had been almost five months since he'd seen Kai as well. He missed him so much, but he couldn't let him see him like this, so he'd just have to go even longer without seeing him. He hadn't even written to Kai lately, if he did he could've just seen him pouring out his heart to him, he didn't want that: Kai had too much to worry about as it was.
Rei turned on his side, sighing. His hair fell infront of his face, but he ignored it. He'd had to ignore it in all his battles so why would now be any different. His golden eyes were hidden behind his half lidded eyes as his mind wandered into its usually fantasy.
Kai stood by the window, the sun shining on his face as he admired the view of the mountains. He wore a long black coat with feathers along the collar and sleeves. If Rei was truthful, he admit that it was Mariah's, she wore it when they went out once and gave it to him as a token of her love, but Rei would rather forget that and keep to his image of Kai wearing it; it suited him better. Kai turned to Rei and smiled beautifully before gliding over to the bed, lying next to him and falling to sleep, balled in Rei's chest. Rei's hand moved to stroke Kai's cheek when the image disappeared, as it always did.
Rei sighed again, at least he knew his love was strong, but he was feed up of just images. A humming started to sound from outside, but Rei ignored it until he heard Mariah and Kevin yelling loudly towards his window.
"Rei! Come quick!! It's helicopter!" Kevin announced excited.
Helicopter? What would a helicopter be doing in these regions? Had the other villagers got the law involved. Rei didn't want his mind to think up ideas, he wanted to know for himself. He pushed himself off the bed and rushed out the house. Mariah was waiting for him at the base of the stairs that lead to his house. Rei smiled at her before they ran side by side, following the helicopter.
"Did you see who was inside?" Rei asked.
"No. It's too high up." Mariah confessed.
The helicopter moved over to an open field before descending. Lee, Gary and Kevin stood waiting in the field as Rei and Mariah joined them. Through the window of the helicopter, Tyson and Max popped up waving frantically. Rei's heart lifted significantly at the sight of his closest friends, the smiles on their faces forcing one onto his. The helicopter landed smoothly, and while the propellers were still spinning, the door opened and Max, Kenny and Tyson rushed at Rei, giving him a group hug. Giggles could be heard from all of them, overwhelmed at seeing each other after such a long time. Mariah, Lee, Gary and Kevin couldn't help but smile at the picture.
"Oh, Rei. It's so good to see you, it's been so long!" Max spoke for everyone.
"I've missed you guys as well, but, how did you manage to get a helicopter?" Rei asked.
"Urm. Now don't get mad, but.. Urm." Tyson's stuttered speak was interrupted by Lee.
"Kai!" Lee spoke with angry and hatred, shown in his creased features and raw voice.
Kai stepped gracefully out of the helicopter, his scarf floating in the slight breeze in its godlike manner. He removed his sunglasses, leisurely and stared at the group with blank eyes. Rei froze in his spot, Kai look better than he had thought, how his memory had faulted him, bewildered him; he had drunk his image in from their last encounter, yet there he was, even more gracefully and radiant than before. Rei mind stopped in its track recalling the situation.
"Tyson, I thought I told you not to tell Kai. I didn't want him here." Rei spoke harshly.
Those words hurt Kai. He almost let his features falter him, but he held himself together, deciding to bite back.
"If you don't want me here, I'll go. There's nothing holding me here." Kai's voice held no emotions, just boredom.
Kai's attempts at returning the hurt work. Rei's features faltered him and everyone could tell that he was hurting. Tyson was feed up of this style of fighting already.
"Would you two please stop arguing already!!! Rei, I'm sorry but we need Dranzer and Kai's an added bonus. Kai... just stop acting like a jerk!" Tyson ordered.
"Whatever." Kai turned to the helicopter and proceeded to pull out their luggage.
Mariah saw the hurt in Rei's eyes at Kai rejecting form and felt sorry for him, and though she hated what she had to do now, she knew it was the only way that frown was going to diminish.
"Rei, why don't you help Kai with the luggage and we'll show the others to their rooms."
"Okay." Rei answered, not really paying attention.
"See you at dinner than Rei!" Tyson yelled.
Once Rei couldn't see the others anymore, he began his long walk towards Kai. What was he going to say? He'd gone through so many different scenarios for meeting Kai, but non as tense as this. As he approached Kai, his worries disappeared as he noticed Kai's hidden expression. His forehead was creased painfully, his lips quivered slightly and his eyes were water logged. Those same expressions transferred to Rei as he watched Kai who was now slightly shorter than Rei. Rei placed his hand on Kai's shoulder and squeezed, enjoying the familiar touch.
"If you don't want me here, I'll go right now." Kai didn't bother to hold back the quivers in his voice, saddened and pained.
Rei grabbed Kai's arm and pulled him to face him. Kai winced at the pain from his injury but soon forgot about it as Rei wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed him, passionately. Kai encircled his arms around Rei's neck as tears ran down his face and over his immortal markings. Rei pushed him against the helicopter while deepening the kiss, the tip of his hungry tongue, running feverishly across Kai's moist, red lips. Obeying, Kai opened his mouth, allowing him to dominate immediately, though his tongue did decide to tickle the under layers of Rei's tongue. Rei hand moved to Kai's cheek and softly brushed his thumb under his closed eyes to wipe away the tears that stained his perfect features. They pull away slowly, their lips not wanting to stop, stealing short, quick kisses before separating. Rei golden eyes studied the flushed figure infront of him, as he breathed heavily in time with Kai. The hand wiping away the tears cupped Kai's face.
"Stay. I can't let you go now." Rei spoke quietly.
"Why?" Kai asked.
"Because, I need you." Rei replied simply.
Kai smiled slightly at Rei as he watched Rei's hand moved down to his bandage, where the smile left. Rei squeezed it slightly, but it was enough to start Kai wincing and have memories brought back to him of lectures and punishments he'd endured lately.
"How did this happen?" Rei asked.
"Caught it on a splinter in the woodwork. Not much but it needed covering to stop infection." Kai explained.
"Is that the truth?" Rei persisted.
"If you're implying that my grandfather did this, than you're mistaken. It was a splinter nothing more, sure he's used that as an excuse to put me pain by squeezing it while lecturing me, but that's all." Kai explained further.
"Has he hit you or anything since I left." Rei asked, concerned.
"Of course he has, any excuse to punish me for this." Kai replied.
"You've told him about us?!" Rei was shocked, not that he'd told him, but that he hadn't heard that Kai had been in hospital. "What did he do?"
"He's not taking it well, he hates you and thinks I'm weak." Kai replied, hiding the whole troth.
"What did he do to you?" Rei could tell that Kai was holding back.
"It's nothing." Kai persisted.
Rei held Kai's head tightly in his hand and turned it to face him, his eyes; Kai had seen those eyes before, he'd used them when fighting Lee, they showed purely that he was angry and persistent.
"Well?" Rei prompted.
"He locked me in a closet for three days with nothing, then beat me, causing me three broken ribs, internal bleeding and bruises that lasted for two months. Since then I've had such unbearable training sections that I've almost wrote to you telling you it was over." Kai told Rei everything.
Rei's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe how Kai had been treated, how could anyone do that to such a fragile being. Rei himself could not even imagine raising a hand to Kai, let alone beating him up, it disturbed him too much, even to imagine what state Kai would be in, curled on the floor, bruises up and down his body, blood flowing from places it shouldn't be. The images were too haunting for Rei's liking.
Rei took Kai in his arms in a hug that Kai gladly leaned into, his head on Rei's shoulder. Kai closed his eyes and placed his own hands on Rei's back.
"I don't know how anyone could do that to you. I just.. No." Rei sighed, annoyed he couldn't find any reassuring words for the boy he now held possessively in his arms.
"It's okay. What about you? What's been going on here?" Kai didn't want to discuss this anymore, too many bad memories.
"Let's get you settled first, than we can talk about that." Rei insisted.
Kai smiled and Rei then grabbed two bags and passed them to Rei. Kai grabbed the other two than they began to walk towards the town.
Yey. That was actually longer than the first version and managed to have less happen than the first version. Arh, Kai and Rei are reunited, how sweet, what, I was not going to have this being like one of those meetings where they run in slow motion towards each other, I like my way better. Oh well, there you go, tell me how I'm doing, and I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I re-write it.
Bye de Bye
