Author's note: This is where the story really takes off. Again, thanks to my reviewers. I hope that you won't hold against me what I'm going to do to Rei. It just needs to happen for the story line.
Kai...why?
Rei nestled deeper into his pillow, purring softly as he rubbed his cheek against the soft silken pillowcase, the smell of their love making still eminent from the night before. The sun's ray shone brightly into the room, casting a warm glow over Rei's exposed back. Rei flipped over onto his back and raised a hand to cover his eyes. He wanted a bit more shuteye, the night before had been a bit...exertive on his newly claimed self. Rei smiled as he recalled the night before.
So much had been said after Rei had gone after Kai. Rei had learned so much about his new koibito and was so surprised that Kai trusted him so much that he had cried, pouring out everything about himself to Kai as well. He remembered how Kai had caressed his check and kissed him, softly whispering his love for Rei. He remembered how he had virtually collapsed into Kai's arms after hearing his confession.
Rei sighed, remembering what had happened after that. The night of passion that had followed. The promises that had been exchanged, the words that had been said. He remembered cuddling into Kai and making Kai promise to call him his Kitten. He remembered how Kai had promised to love him forever and to never leave him. He remembered how he and Kai had snuggled close to each other in front of the dying fireplace in his room. He remembered how Kai had made him promise to always trust him and to believe in him always.
Thinking of which, where was his lover anyway? Rei sat up in shock, turning his head sharply to the space next to him. Rei panicked, where was his koi? Quickly tossing the covers aside, Rei jumped out of the bed and ran to the door, planning to go into the living room that he shared with Max and Takao, not caring that he wasn't wearing anything.
Then as he reached for the door handle, he paused, recollecting his thoughts.
"Maybe he's in the shower," Thought Rei to himself rationally, "Or he could be in the kitchen."
As he thought it out, Rei rationalized that he was being paranoid about his lover. Maybe it was because it had been hard to snare this lover of his, but something was not right. Grabbing some clothes, Rei rushed into the shower, a little disappointed to find that Kai wasn't there, and took a quick wash before rushing out again.
Rei walked quickly to the kitchen, not wanting to show his worry of having apparently lost his lover. But he was visibly disappointed when he saw only Takao cuddling Max who was making breakfast. Not caring that the other two were obviously in their own world, Rei walked over to the table and dragged out a chair.
Startled, Takao and Max turned around to find that Rei had joined them in the kitchen. Takao grinned at Max, thinking of the night before and the cats that had bothered them. Releasing his koi, Takao made his way to the table, dragged out a chair and sat opposite Rei.
" So Rei, how was your night?" asked Takao cheekily, "The noises the cats made last night weren't bothering you right? Damn, those cats sure are noisy when they're in heat aren't they Rei?" Takao winked at the Chinese boy waiting for his reaction.
Rei blushed lightly once and asked, "Have either of you seen Kai? He was...with me last night, but when I woke up, I couldn't find him...have you?"
"No," replied Max, "Isn't he with you?" Rei shook his head and sighed. Max and Takao exchanged slightly worried looks and Max laid down Rei's portion of breakfast of eggs and sausages saying, "I'm sure he has a reason for leaving you without telling you. Did he leave a note? No? Hmm...never mind Rei, I'm sure he'll come back to you."
Takao nodded and said, "Yeah, Kai maybe strange but he is loyal to those important to him. What say we go out after this? I think a movie would be nice." Max nodded enthusiastically and said, "Yeah, we might catch Kai if we go out, so lets okay Rei?"
Rei looked at his friends and nodded, Kai was sure to have a reason, maybe he had been called of for a meeting or something, after all, Rei did remember something ringing that sounded like a phone in the middle of the night or so...
"All right," agreed Rei, smiling, his fangs showing, "Let's go. I want to catch the new movie anyway."
- some time later -
"Was that movie great or what?" exclaimed Takao, "I'm glad that we came to watch that movie." Rei nodded in agreement as Max said, "Yeah! We should do this more often."
"Yeah, next time we can ask Kai along then we can have a make out contest," teased Takao. Rei blushed and looked away shyly, "come on, come on spill...spill!!" egged Takao as he tried to get Rei to tell him about his night with Kai. The trio laughed and joked along the streets until...
Rei laughed and smiled, all while trying to avoid Takao's questions about the night before, when he saw Kai. Rei stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide and his body trembling.
"Rei!" called Takao, "Rei! What's the matter." He was about to tap Rei's shoulder when Max pulled him back and pointed Kai out to him.
"Oh hey! It's Kai!" said Takao, "Let's go and say..."
"Shut up Takao..." hissed Max, "can't you see that he's not alone?"
True enough, Kai wasn't by himself, and that didn't bother Rei, but he was with Tala, a member of the Demolition Boys. Rei watched in wide-eyed shock as Tala wrapped his arms around Kai possessively and kissed his Kai, HIS Kai on the lips. Rei gaped as he watched Kai return the kiss as Kai pulled Tala towards him and cuddled him to his chest.
"Rei...." Said Max quietly, as he put a hand on Rei's shoulder, "Maybe we should leave..."
"Are you kidding?" shouted Takao, "Max, we HAVE to confront him! We can't just let him have his way with our buddy and let him get away with it."
"This is bad enough for Rei already," hissed Max, "You don't have to push it Takao. Rei...Rei!! Where are you going??"
Max watched worriedly as his friend moved forward, towards Kai across the road. Takao reached out a hand to stop him, but was shaken off instead. Then, when he saw Kai softly chuck Tala's chin and kiss him, Rei raced across the street.
"Kai!!!!" shouted Rei as he ran across the street, "Kai!!! Kai!!"
Kai turned at the sound of Rei's shouting and cringed. This he had not expected. Tala looked at him expectedly and Kai sighed.
"Kai!" shouted Rei, as he stopped in front of his ex-captain, "Kai! What's going on? Why are you..." Rei grabbed the collar of Kai's trench coat and pulled him face to face with Rei.
"Kai! Why...why did you leave this morning? Why didn't you tell me? Why...why..."
Kai stared at Rei coldly, his eyes not betraying his emotions and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, I spent the whole night with my Koi, here. Now, let go." Roughly, Kai pushed Rei away, to the ground.
"We have a plane to catch," stated Kai uncaringly, "I have no time to waste on you, street rat. Come on Koi." Tala smiled as Kai reached for him and snuggled deeply into him. Lifting a hand, Tala looked up at the graying sky and said, "Wait Kai koi."
Rei sat on the ground, where Kai had pushed him, stunned at his lover...former lover's actions. He hardly noticed when raindrops started to patter softly onto the ground.
As his wide golden eyes focused on Kai's impatient expression, Rei didn't notice that Tala was kneeling next to him, holding and umbrella over his head.
"Don't waste your time, "said Tala softly, "He's mine." Rei blinked once and turned his head to face Tala. Tala gently took Rei's hand and placed the umbrella in it. He cupped Rei's cheek in one hand and kissed it. Releasing Rei's cheek at Kai's impatient grunt, Tala looked up at his Koi and back down at Rei. He shook his head and did not look back as he and Kai walked off, cuddled together under one umbrella.
Rei sat in the rain, staring at Kai's disappearing back. He couldn't believe that Kai had left him, left him for Tala. Rei's eyes filled with tears as he tried to ignore the rising despair in him. He heard Takao and Max calling him faintly as he stood up, dropping the umbrella. Tilting his face towards the sky, Rei, let the falling rain hide his tears for the moment.
"Rei," called Max softly, ready to comfort his friend. Max gasped as he saw his friend's blank expression, his golden eyes lost of all emotions and feelings. Max was frozen as he stared at the once lively golden eyes of his cat like friend. Max held one hand to his mouth as Rei's expression changed dangerously from blank and confused, to crazed and determined. He grabbed onto Takao as he heard Rei's voice for the last time in the next two weeks.
