ok! chapter five!
When Rei awoke the next morning, all he could feel was a dull ache in his right arm and Kai's warm breath on his cheek. Sitting up, he started around the dark room, trying to adjust his eyes to the abnormally low amount of light in the room.
He was still confused about the markings on the walls, but he knew Kai. When Kai was ready, he would explain. He could hear noises that sounded far off, like they were coming from a long way away, he thought they must be at least a few hundered meters off.
Walking around, his arm felt worse than it had when Rei first woke. It was like he could feel the ends of the bones rubbing together, and he found it, apart from painful, extremely uncomfortable. He was holding back tears of pain that were stinging his golden eyes, he didn't want any weakness to show, especially after all his weakness in the past few days.
Kai stirred, his crimson eyes slowly opening and adjusting the way Rei's had. He almost yelled when he saw Rei walking around.
"Rei! You have to rest! If that heals wrong, it'll have to be re-broken you know!"
"I know, i'm just......sorta tired of being cooped up in this place for so long. Kai, why is this place so dark, and strange?"
"Boris Balkov is a bastard, just like Voltaire."
"Isn't Voltaire your grandfather?"
"Grandfather? What grandfather? You know what he did. He used me for experiments. What kind of grandfather does that to thier own grandson?"
A sharp pain shot through Rei's chest at these words, they sparked a memory.
********flashback*********
Rei, only four years old, tears falling down his cheeks, his hair that was halfway down his back fell loosely over his shoulders, and down his back like a jet black waterfall, but messy, like it hadn't been brushed in a few days. He stood watching his parents fight. His mother had a blood nose, and his father, and hand shaped red mark on his cheek. His golden eyes were filled with terror and hurt, he had grown up like this. Every day was full of fear for him, only young. He was used to the noise, the yelling, screaming, and cursing that no child should have to listen to. Also the pain of being in the middle of the fights, trying to stop them. Once, he had been hit so hard he went flying back and slammed into a wall. Then a few hours later, he was taken by a strange man, who said he was the young boys grandfather. He looked like his own father too, showing a sign of trustworthyness. Though Rei had never met him before, he seemed like a nice man, and like he could be trusted.
But Rei's naĆve thoughts led him astray. He was soon being treated worse than he had been with his parents, and the pain he endured was enough to haunt nightmares. He lived in more fear then he even had before in his young life. After three weeks of living life this way, he ran away, to a nearby villiage, where he met three other children by the names of Lee, Mariah and Gary. They became his only friends, until he grew older, and realized that they were only using him for his beyblading talents.
He ran from them too, leaving himself no choice but to go to Japan, to find a place where he could be accepted for himself as well as his talents. He found it. With his fellow teammates, the bladebreakers, he felt more at home than he ever had with anyone else. Then when he realized he loved Kai, he felt happy for the forst time in his life. He felt he had finnaly been accepted for himself.
*********end flashback**********
"Rei? Are you ok?"
Rei snapped out of his thoughts. He realized that he was kneeling on the floor, tears falling from his eyes.
"Yeah, i er, i'm fine." He stuttered, using his left hand to wipe the tears hurridly from his face.
"Rei, what was it? Did i say something?"
"....I.....uh...no." He stammered.
Kai got out of bed and walked to Rei, kneeling beside him.
"What was it?"
"Ju...Just...a, a mem..memory...." Rei said through sniffles.
Kai knew it instantly. There was a lot more to Rei than he ever thought. This boy seemed to be cheerful and to have led a happy life, but there was more.
"What happened Rei? What did you just remember?"
Without warning, Rei lurched foreward and caught Kai's torso in a firce hug. His whole story poured out along with tears.
Kai was stunned at this. He always thought that Rei was truly happy, but he had been carrying this burden for so long now.
Kai found himself filling with rage. Who in their right mind would treat Rei this way? He must have been the sweetest, cutest little boy, but he had still been treated that way.
Suddenly, Kai found himself cursing aloud in Russian.
/Fucking idiot! Innocent kid like him! No defence at all!\
"Kai, calm down. It's too late to change things now. We still have to get out of here."
Kai took a few deep breaths before staring again, slowly.
"No, we have to stay here for a while. Until things calm down out there, you know?"
Rei merely nodded, feeling slightly better that his memory was finally told. He had been carrying it sinc he was about six, since it was so hard to tell people about things like that.
**************************************************************************** ****************************************
Kai was sitting on the floor with his back leaning against the post at the end of the bed, while Rei was lying on the bed, his head leaning over the edge, his hair falling down to the floor, settling in a pool beside Kai.
Kai raised a hand and started to run his fingers through Rei's hair. Rei closed his eyes, sighed, then said one of his many thoughts aloud.
"How long have we been just sitting here?" Before sighing again.
Kai rasied his other arm slightly to look at his watch.
"About three hours."
Rei sighed for the third time in about a minute, then slid down onto the floor beside Kai.
"How much longer?" He asked with a tone of utter boredom that he had tried to hide.
"I don't know. a few days maybe, if we're lucky. But you're really starting to sound like a little kid on a long car drive. How much longer? are we there yet?" Kai said, in a small mocking tone.
Rei was shocked, but couldn't hold back a giggle. He reached back onto the bed and pulled a pillow down, slamming it over Kai's head.
Kai smirked.
"You are so going to pay for that one!"
Rei jumped up and ran directly for the closet. Closing the door behind him, he heard a pillow slam into it just as all the light faded.
"You can't stay there for ever!"
"True, but you have to fall asleep some time!"
Kai slumped down against the door, closing his eyes. A few minutes later, the door opened slightly, and Rei's golden eye found itself staring at a crimson one.
"Eeek!"
Kai put his hand on the side of the door, preventing Rei from closing it.
"What did i say? I'd win?" He said with a smirk.
"Ok, ok." Rei crawled out from the closet, back into the position he was in before, lying on the bed.
Kai sat on the bed beside him, stroking his jet black hair off his face.
Rei sighed for the fourth time that day, then sat up slowly, causing all his hair to fall back over his face.
"Seriously Kai, do we have to just sit here and do nothing?"
"Unless you want to become a test subject again, i suggest staying put. If we don't try anything for a few days, they'll think we got away, then it'll make it a bit easier for us, ok? Just be patient."
"Ok, but this is just so boring, thats all. And i can only sleep for a certain amount of hours a day."
"Well, thers nothing in here to do, so it's just sleep or talk."
Since all he could think of was the memory that had just come back to him earlier in the day, Rei stopped talking, only to find himself dwelling on it. *Flashbacks of images, his parents in pain, his 'grandfather', the white tigers, pain, terror....*
A few hours later, he awoke, breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping from his brow.
"Rei? Rei, what's wrong?" Kai asked urgently.
It took a few moments for Rei to realize he had fallen asleep.
"No...nothing."
"It didn't seem like nothing to me. You were kicking and calling out."
"I was? I'm sorry, Kai. i didn't mean it. Did i hit you?"
"Don't worry, i'll only have a small bruise on my arm. It's ok."
Kai took Rei in his arms, holding him tightly. He gently kissed Rei's head, stroking his hair.
Only moments later, the was a loud noise. Someone banging on the door.
/shit, shit, shit, shit.....they found us........how did they find us?\ Kai muttered.
Rei scrunched his eyes closed, hoping he was still asleep.
"Fucking hell........SHIT!" Was all Kai said.
