Chap 7

Rei moved quickly, silently shoving her cloths and belongings into her pack. She stopped when she heard someone knocking at the door. She opened the squeaky door and peeked out to see koji and Tasuki.
"What are you guys doin here?" she questioned as she opened the door wider. The two men walked into the room silently. They sat on her bed and sighed.
She continued to pack her stuff in the quiet room. The tension between them made her a little nervous. "We can't go with you," Koji finally broke the silence, both the men's heads hanging low.

"We have to stay here cause Eiken messed." Tasuki's voice trailed off, he tilted his head up to see Rei's smiling face close to his. She reached her hand out and touched his cheek, "It's okay. I understand." Rei said cheerfully. Koji suddenly stood up and quickly walked to the door, he stopped and looked back.
"I'll just shut the door," he winked as the door slammed and he laughed down the hall.
Rei was now standing straight up. Her face was a slight shade of red. She let out a heavy sigh. Then slowly sat beside Tasuki. Tasuki cupped his hand on her cheek then placed her chin in between his index finger and thumb. Gently he turned her face to look at him.
"Be careful. Okay?" he lovingly said as he wrapped his strong arms around her. She rose her arms to hug him back. He pushed his weight on her to make her lay on the bed. He brought his soft lips to hers. When they separated she slowly opened her eyes to see Tasuki's full attention on her; he smiled, then sat up.
Rei sat up behind him and put her delicate arms around him.
"Why didn't you tell them you ARE Tasuki?" she whispered, still holding him.
"Cause I'm the boss now, I need to fix everything Eiken messed up." He turned around to face her, a slight shimmer reflected in her eyes.
"I won't tell them, I promise. Though, its hard for me to keep secrets from my best friend." She said with a smile. She pushed her lips to his, then Tasuki stood up and picked up Rei's pack.
"Well let's go put this on your horse." He smiled.
"My.horse?" she questioned as they started at the door, "wait, one more thing to pack." She walked to the dresser. She slid out the drawer and pulled her uniform out. Then shoved it into her pack that Tasuki was holding.
Rei opened the door; Koji and Miaka fell over into the room. (Rei and Tasuki( 0_0')
Rei suddenly realized Tasuki had pulled her away behind him. **He was protecting me** she thought. She smiled as they all walked to the stables. Tasuki held his hands over her eyes, he stopped her right in front of a stall, in it, a horse as white as snow. A Dark leather halter on his head. Tasuki removed his hands, then led the horse to Rei. She smiled. She loved horses. Seeing this white one reminded of her horse back in her world. A tear ran down her cheek as the horse nuzzled her. Tasuki looked at her, watching the tear. A concerned look on his face.
