Now onto the story...
************************************************************************
It was night. Rei sat on a street bench, shoulders slumped, head in his hands.
It was raining.
He wasn't wearing a jacket and was getting very wet.
He didn't care. He barely even noticed.
His usually vibrant eyes were fixed on the ground in a dull stare.
He couldn't go back, not after what had happened. He didn't know what he was going to
do.
He felt his face grow hot, rain washing away the tears that formed in his eyes.
"Damnit Kai" he thought and sighed. He knew it wasn't Kai he was mad at, it was himself.
His stupid feelings for Kai were tearing him apart.
_____________________________________________________
The rest of the bladebreakers were sitting around the lounge trying to figure out what had
happened to Rei.
"And he just ran off?" Max asked.
"Yeah, he looked like he'd seen a ghost." Tyson replied.
Kenny and Max had initially been surprised to learn that Kai and Tyson had been fooling
around, but were more confused by Rei's reaction.
"We should go look for him." Kenny suggested. "If we split up and search around we'll
cover more ground."
They all put on rain jackets and headed out.
Tyson hated searching in the rain and dark, but was concerned for his friend.
After searching for what seemed like ages Tyson knew he couldn't keep going without
eating something. He saw a donut vendor and went and ordered a bag of cinnamon donuts.
He put the bag inside his jacket to stop it from getting wet, he enjoyed the feeling of warm
donuts against his chest.
While he sat and ate his mind wandered. 'Why did Rei react like that?' he thought 'Was he
just surprised by the situation? No, it seemed to be something more than that, almost as
if...' a sudden realisation dawned on him '...almost as if what he saw broke his heart'.
He stuffed another donut into his mouth whole and continued thinking. 'I don't think he'd
have a crush on me...but Kai...' things were starting to make sense, Tyson had seen the way
Rei sometimes started at Kai, he never thought much of it, but now it seemed to make
perfect sense.
'Oh man...' Tyson thought 'Rei walked in to see me kissing the person he loves' Tyson
sighed heavily and rested his head in his hands. Kai and he were only fooling around, they
had done it a few times before but it certainly wasn't love. Just a bit of harmless fun.
Harmless until today.
Tyson stood up to go put the empty donut bag in the bin. That's when he saw it. A lone
figure sitting on a bench about 200 meters away. The small figure was hunched over so it
was hard to tell if it was Rei, but the long pony tail made Tyson almost certain.
He walked over, trying to think what he'd say to Rei.
"Hey there, we were worried about you." He said, sitting next to Rei.
Rei seemed like he didn't hear, then he slowly raised his head and looked at Tyson.
"Go away." He said, Tyson barely able to hear him.
Even in the rain Tyson saw Rei's eyes were red from crying. He knew he was right about Rei
liking Kai.
"Um, I don't know about to say this, but I think I know why you ran off." Tyson said,
slightly nervous.
Rei didn't reply.
"You like Kai don't you?"
Rei didn't saying anything right away, "Come to rub it in have you?" he replied eventually,
close to tears.
"No no no no, it's not like that!" Tyson replied frantically, trying to explain to his friend.
"Me and Kai were just fooling around, if I had known how you felt about Kai I would never
have done it!"
"Do you love him?" Rei replied, clearly still not convinced.
"I don't love him, and he certainly doesn't love me, it was just a silly spur-of-the-moment
thing. It wont happen again!" Tyson was doing his best to convince Rei.
"Why stop on my behalf?" Rei replied, a squeak in his voice indicating tears weren't far
away.
"Damnit Rei, because I value you as a friend, more than any silly thing with Kai. I don't love
Kai and it would be stupid to lose one of my best friends over this." He sighed "I'm not
going to tell anyone you like Kai, but you have to tell Kai how you feel."
"Jesus Tyson, I was going to tell Kai how I felt when I walked in on you two!" Rei said
through angry tears.
"Oh man." Was all Tyson could think to say.
"Rei, listen to me, lets go back to the hotel and get you dried off, you can be angry at me
the rest of your life but you have to tell Kai how you feel." Tyson added, putting his arm
around Rei and helping him up.
Rei didn't fight him.
"Tyson I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at myself. For being so stupid as to think Kai would
ever like me."
Tyson was struggling to help Rei walk, he didn't seem to want to put on foot in front of the
other. And he was a lot heavier than he looked.
"Listen Rei you don't know that Kai doesn't like you, and if you don't tell him you'll
wonder what might have been for the rest of your life. If he doesn't like you he's a jerk,
and doesn't know what he's missing out on."
Rei smiled weakly. Tyson's sentiment was right but he sure did say some stupid things.
They eventually found their way back to the hotel, much to Tyson's relief.
The rest of the bladebreakers were already back and waiting in the hotel room. They
jumped up when Tyson and a wet and shivering Rei walked in.
"Rei, are you all right?" Max asked with concern.
"Listen guys, I think Rei needs a nice hot shower." Tyson said matter-of-factually.
The others nodded and Rei went into the bathroom and closed the door.
Tyson waited until he heard the water start and went back to the others.
"Look, I need you guys to do me favour and not ask any questions, ok?" Tyson said.
"What are you talking about Tyson?" Asked a confused Kenny.
"All of you need to leave, except Kai." Tyson gestured towards the slate haired boy.
"Why?" Kai asked flatly.
"Just do it, Rei...needs to, uhh...talk to you..." Tyson didn't want to spill Rei's secret.
They all eventually agreed and left, leaving Kai sitting alone waiting for Rei.
Rei emerged from the shower and put on a dry set of clothes, before giving his hair a quick
brush and pulling it back into a lose ponytail.
He walked out into the lounge to see Kai, alone, waiting for him. 'Jesus Tyson' Rei thought
to himself.
"Tyson said you needed to talk to me?" Kai said, not looking at Rei.
"Errr..umm...yes..." Rei stammered.
'Well, here it is...' Rei thought 'I finally have Kai alone, I guess I'll tell him and end my
torture, besides, I don't know if Tyson could even keep my secret until tomorrow.'
He walked over and sat next to Kai, exhaling loudly.
"Kai I...I...ummm...I..." His mind was racing, his heart beating wildly.
"I love you Kai." He said it. He'd actually said it.
Kai's face remained impassive as ever. He looked like he was thinking.
"Rei, I...I don't love you. I'm sorry."
Kai stood and walked out the room leaving a shocked Rei.
Rei's heart was broken. It felt like a thousand knives had been plunged into his chest. He
didn't know how he going to go on.
He curled up on the couch and started to sob uncontrollably.
*******************************************************************
Whoa, even I felt a little sorry for Rei in this one.
You notice how perceptive Tyson was? It surprised even me.
Ohwell! Another cliffie for you! ~.^
Don't throw rotten fruit at me! Things will get better, I promise!
