Chapter Seven: Going Home...from the restaurant

Krys stared at Kai, her mouth almost seriously hitting the table top. Krys didn't know whether to believe what Kai had just said or to just laugh it off. He wouldn't just say that kind of thing for the fun of it. Would he? Krys wasn't so sure.

"Krys?" Kai asked, looked at her, his eyes still as emotionless as ever, which just added to the doubt Krys was feeling about what he had said. How could someone say something like that and not show any emotions about it? Huh? It just didn't make any sense.

Krys took a deep breath and turned to Kai and smiled. "Uh, could you say that again. I think I may have heard you wrong." Krys was torn between two feelings. One she really wanted what Kai had said to be true but the other one was that she was afraid that it might be true. Then what would she do about it?

Kai gave a smug smile, as if he knew just how much he had thrown her emotions off the chart. As if he knew just how nerve-wracking he was. As if he knew that her knees were shaking and her heart was pounding, and that it was all because of him.

"I said that I, Kai Hiwatari, love you Krys." Kai repeated himself very slowly, and just like last time, every word hit Krys like a bomb, making her want to fall down and cry for mercy. That was just how powerful those words were to her. Especially from Kai.

There was a tear running down Krys's cheek, Krys could feel it's salty trail as it trinkled down her cheek and landing on her lips. "Do you really mean that Kai? Do you?"

Kai shrugged, making it seem like it was no big deal to him. However, to Krys this was a big deal. She needed to know whether or not he was merely saying this. Kai nodded and leaned in, wiping a tear from her face. "I mean it Krys. Really, I do."

Krys looked into those eyes of him and met solid fire, no emotion that Krys could seperate from another. All of Kai's emotions were in those eyes and yet none of them were. Almost as if Kai knew how to keep people from being able to peer into his soul. Maybe he did. Krys wouldn't doubt it.

"Kai-" Krys said and then laughed, wiping her eyes. "Wow, I don't know what to say. This is kinda overwhelming."

Kai nodded, as if even if he had no emotions, he understodd prefectly. Krys found herself melting again. "I know what you mean. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. I won't be offended."

Krys swallowed. "But I want to say something." Krys leaned in and brushed Kai's lips. "I love you too." Krys kissed him and was surprised to find that he remained unresponsive, even after his confession.

Krys suddenly wasn't offended by it though, as if she realized that it wasn't his fault. That maybe he didn't know how to show his feelings. Krys smiled, that would be her number one goal from now on. To teach Kai how to melt the fire that was held inside of him and let it heat his very soul and not fear getting brunt by it.

Krys cuddled up to Kai and closed her eyes, this was almost prefect.

Bryan got up from the table in a blind rage. He didn't hurt anyone, or so he hoped as he trenched for the wall, but he didn't want to stay with Raye at that table for one more second or he might explode. He had given up so much for her, and what she do? She turns around and tells him that she didn't want to see him anymore just because they had a little bit of a differences this evening.

Bryan was seriously pitying whoever ended up marrying her.

"Are you alright?" A female voice asked from behind him. Bryan didn't turn to face the speaker however, not wanting to get into anything with another female. He had had enough for one night, thank you very much.

"Just fine." Bryan said finally, making sure he said it firm and aruptedly so that the speaker would most likely get upset and leave, which was what Bryan wanted.

"Are you sure? I heard what Raye said to you. Rather harsh I thought, but perhaps she had her reasons." The female continued.

Bryan turned around. "Now what do you think you're doing? Spying on me?" Bryan's eyes went wide when he saw that he was looking straight into the eyes of Tempest. "Oh, it's you. I'm sorry, I didn't realize."

Tempest shrugged it off, as if it was no big deal. Which to her, it probably wasn't. "It's alright, I don't care. So are you seriously alright?"

Bryan shrugged. "I don't know what alright is anymore. I feel like I've been through a very thorough blender."

Tempest chuckled lightly. "Well, that's too bad. I hope that the blender didn't hurt you too much." Tempest stroked Bryan's check. "And if you want any comforting later, here's my phone number." Tempest slipped something into Bryan's hand and kissed him on the cheek. "Phone me." With that Tempest turned to leave.

Before he realized what was going on, Bryan's hand snaked out and grabbed Tempest's wrist. Bryan surprised both of them with the sound of his voice. "Please don't go Tempest. Stay here." Bryan pleaded and pulled her to him. "Please?"

Tempest smiled and wrapped her arms around Bryan, welcoming his embrace. She pressed their foreheads together and smiled, closing her eyes. "I would never leave you Bryan." Tempest kissed him. "Never."

Bryan smiled. "Thank you."

Tempest nodded and no more was said between the two.

Rei held onto Hannah's hand tightly as he led her to the door, where they would be allowed to get out of here. Rei held onto her tightly in fear that what had happened earlier might happen again.

Hannah didn't protest Rei's grip however, in fact she seemed to welcome it. Rei guessed that she was as worried about getting herself out of here as Rei was.

Rei glared at everyone that came close to them, not caring that glaring was outside of his usual personality features. He was going to take care of Hannah no matter what. He wasn't going to let her get hurt again, not with him right there and with him having the power to prevent it.

Someone came up and accidently brushed up against Rei, Rei immediately pushed the person away, with a look on his face that said 'Don't even think about it'. Needless to say, the person didn't even think about it.

Rei made it to the door and out into the cold air of the evening. Hannah shivered and Rei instinctively wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him. Hannah instantly melted into him and Rei couldn't help but think that she was perfect, that they were prefect together.

Rei hailed a taxi and put Hannah in the backseat and told the driver to head for Hannah's apartment, giving him the address before climbing in the taxi himself. Hannah looked at him confused but he merely smiled. "Don't worry about it."

They arrived at Hannah's apartment building and they both got out, Rei hurriedly paying the taxi driver and them both running up the stairs into the warmness of the building.

"Thanks Rei." Hannah blushed as she opened the door. "Do you want to come in and have something warm to drink before you get sent on your way?"

Rei nodded. "That would be lovely, thank you."

Hannah smiled and they both went in the apartment and Hannah turned on the kettle, and set about preparing two cups for hot cocoa. Rei watched as she worked and smiled, the whole scene bringing a touch of home to Rei's heart. Hannah noticed Rei watching her intently and she blushed even harder and almost split the hot water all over her when she finally started to pour it.

Rei immediately jumped up and examined her hands for damage before pouring the hot water himself and then carrying both of the cups into the living room where Hannah had figured that they could sit and talk for a while.

Rei took a sip of his hot cocoa and then looked over at Hannah and observed her drinking hers. Rei smiled, he found it cute how she blew at it, almost took a sip, decided it was still too hot and blew at it some more.

Hannah noticed him staring at her again and sighed. "Would you stop it? I feel like a specimen under microscope."

Rei sighed and looked away, not wanting Hannah to feel uncomfortable because of him. Hannah came over and sat next to him, snuggling as they sipped their drinks and just a satsified sense of silence fell between them and Rei's eyes grew droopy and the next thing he knew, he was asleep.

Tala led himself into the street and got into the taxi, not caring if he was taking someone else's. All he wanted to do was get home and get away from this stupid place where he had both met and lost the girl of his dreams.

Tala didn't even want to think about Aurora anymore, it was just too troubling for her. All he wanted to do was go to sleep and not have to worry about any of this anymore. That's all he wanted to do.

Tala reached his house in record time, paid the taxi driver and then rushed into his house. He noticed a blinking light on his answering machine and he pressed the play button.

"Tala? This is Joey. You don't know me but I'm a friend of Aurora's. Listen I know where you can reach her. Call me back and I'll tell you. Talk to you later." Click.

Tala stared at the phone in shock. This must be a dream. With that in mind, Tala climbed the stairs and crawled into his bed and fell instantly asleep.
