Author's note: Please stop flaming Kai and slapping him and etc. etc. You haven't read the whole story yet...
To the reviewer 'me': I'm going as fast as I can, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Reviewers, thanks for your support, I really needed it. Btw, anyone interested in a three-way Kai, Rei and Tala thing? I recall someone wondering why it couldn't be a threesome. It COULD be Rei-Kai, Tala-Kai and Kai-Kai, figures, Kai loves himself...
Fiction note: Mostly Rei centric. // = thoughts.
What's happening to Rei?
Two weeks later...
"How's Rei?" asked Michael over the phone. Takao sighed and replied, "Fine...I think. Thanks a lot Mike, we owe ya one, and Emily too, how are she and the baby?"
"Fine, fine...but...Rei...what happened?" Takao sighed again and asked, "Emily didn't tell you?"
"No...so what happened?"
"Long story, ask Emily, I think Max told her everything we know."
"Okay...hey, I have to go now, Sarah's crying and Emily needs my help. Bye."
"Sure, sure, let's catch up some other time. See ya." Takao put the phone back in its cradle and sighed for the third time in five minutes. He leaned against the kitchen wall, upon which the phone was mounted and sighed yet again.
/It was a good thing lucky thing that Emily and Mike are still working in the research facility. I don't want to imagine what would've happened if we had been unable to locate Rei./
Takao picked an apple absently from the table and bit into it thinking back on when they had found Rei.
It had been almost two weeks since they had last seen Rei and they had been searching everyday, non-stop for him. It had taken almost everything out of Takao and Max. Fortunately, Mariah and Lee had called one night about a week after they had lost Rei and found out what happened. Mariah was, least to say, pissed at Kai, but her worry for Rei saw her, Lee and their twins flying to Hokkaido, where Max and Takao were staying, within the day.
Three days later, Dr. Judy, Max's mom, had called to check up on Max and found out about Rei. Subsequently, Emily and Michael were on the case as well. Thanks to the wonderful GPS, it took them about three days to locate and get Rei back. He was found in Tokyo, in the Odaiba district, where Kai used to stay.
Rei had been a miserable sight to behold when they found him. It was raining when they found at the Hiwatari Tokyo estate. He had been sitting by the gate, in his old clothes that were then, so torn, tattered and dirtied that it could hardly be identified as the once pristine white clothes of Rei. He had been cuddling himself, crying in the rain, he had caught pneumonia, but was persistent about staying in front of Kai's estate. If he had not fainted on them, Takao would have been certain that they would have had a harder time to bring him back.
"Max..." Takao turned at the mention of his lover's name. Looking at his once happy-go-lucky boyfriend now turned into a worried, unhappy state really disheartened Takao. Takao moved forward and hugged his koi tightly. Over his shoulder, he saw Lee motion for them to join him and Mariah in the living room.
"Lee...what's the matter?" asked Takao worriedly, as he settled in a large red overstuffed armchair, pulling Max into his lap.
"Rei's very unstable now..." started Mariah, Takao snorted and interjected saying, "And whose fault is it??!!" He shut up, however, when Max slapped his hand over his mouth and snuggled deeper into him.
"How unstable Mariah?" asked Takao, prying Max's hand away from his mouth and kissing it before asking, "why?"
"You do recall that day when we brought him out and he want to a photo shop right?"
"Yeah."
"You remember him ordering some things right?" asked Lee. Takao nodded and asked, "What does all this have to do with Rei's instability?"
"The things just arrived today..." started Lee, pausing for a moment to look at his wife.
"And...?" asked Takao impatiently.
"He showed it to us just now..." said Max.
"And...?"
"And everything's about Kai."
"WHAT??!!!"
Takao stood up quickly, causing Max to spill from his lap. Before either one of them could hold him back, Takao rushed up to Rei's room, climbing the stairs double step at a time and paused as he stopped before Rei's door.
"Takao!!!"
Takao's hand stopped just before reaching for Rei's doorknob when he heard Max calling for him. Turning his head to the left, Takao saw his lover, Lee and Mariah come up the stairs.
"Takao, Koi, it's not a good time now to go and invade Rei's privacy," stated Max quietly, pulling Takao's hand away from the doorknob.
"But Max, I have to know what's going on in his head," said Takao insistently, "I need to know that he's okay. That's one of my best friends in there Max and I have to know what's happening to him."
"But Takao..."
"Takao, Max is right, we should leave Rei to open up by himself, it's the best way..."
"Who died and made you house psychiatrist Mariah?" shot back Takao, his temper getting to him.
"Takao..." started Lee warningly, glaring at him.
Takao pulling his arm away from Max and grabbed the doorknob determinedly. Turning it, Takao swung the door wide open and stumbled back into Max.
"Takao...what's the matter?" asked Max as he held onto his boyfriend. Speechless, Takao merely pointed into the room before him. Mariah and Max gasped at the sight from behind his shoulder while Lee pushed his way through.
"Rei..." stunned, Lee just stood in Rei's doorway, unmoving. Rei had drawn his curtains and the room was dark. His usually immaculately clean room, was a mess. His things were thrown everywhere. Posters, clocks, giant jigsaw puzzles where pulled roughly off the wall, their glass framing shattered on the floor. And then, there was Rei.
The group stepped slowly into the room, shocked at the mess it held within. Looking around, they found Rei at the eastern most corner of his room. The sight of that particular corner stunning them more then anything else.
There was Rei, in the corner of his room. The corner was completely covered up with posters of Kai. Blown up far range and close up shots covered the wall, a bit of the ceiling and the floor. Lee held on to Mariah as she turned her head away from the sight and Takao did the same for Max.
Because, there was Rei, wrapped in a giant cloth poster of Kai and kissing Kai's lips, and caressing his face with his fingertips, the only problem was that he was kissing a picture of Kai.
