'The water's calm this morning,' Key thought to herself as the tips of her toes trickled the water in front of her. 'The waterfall isn't flowing as much as usual.'
She stood up on the bank as the back of her shorts were covered in wet sand and her hair was tossled about her face because of the calm east wind blowing by.
She examined the water as she sat back down on the sandy bank at the taki spot waiting for Kai.
'I hope he comes.'
* * *
"No!"
"Why not? You know you want to!"
"NO!"
"Awe, C'mon Kai! She's waiting there right now! Just go and talk to her!"
Kai paused as he argued with Rei in their bedroom. Kai plopped himself down on the futon and said nothing.
Rei groaned. "KAI!"
Kai turned around slightly so he could see Rei's shadow on the tatami.
"Look," Rei started. "Key loves you just as much as you love her! I know it! I can see it in the both of you!"
Kai was a bit shocked by what Rei was shouting but he wasn't afraid. After all, Tyson and Max were over at Kenny's house so it wasn't like it mattered. But still, Rei shouted on.
"Just go." He said quietly in almost a whisper. "She loves you. And from what you've told me, well," he paused.
"Spit it out." Kai said now interested in what Rei had to say.
"From what you've told me, it sounds a lot like you're scared to love her back."
Kai's eyes widened.
But Rei kept talking.
"After what her father did to her, you're almost scared to love her. Afraid of what you might do."
Kai slammed his fist into the tatami causing it to snap a bit. Rei stood quiet for a couple of seconds before realizing he needed to talk again.
"You know it's true Kai. You know it with all your heart. Don't leave her. Just g-"
But Rei was cut off by what he saw was hitting the tatami over and over again near where Kai was sitting. He gasped.
They were tears.
Rei stood there for a moment gazing at his tough, cold friend crying for the first time in his life. His knees gave out and knelt down where he was standing. Kai then began to chuckle as he spoke softly.
"You know," he said wiping the tears. "People say crying is good for you."
He turned to look at Rei, his face tear stained.
"But you know what?" He began as he laughed.
"What?" Rei whispered back.
Kai's head lowered as more tears fell and his smirk disappeared.
"It sucks."
Rei wanted to laugh, but was cut short as Kai slowly got up and walked out of the room and down the hall. Rei quickly got up and followed, tripping in the process.
"Hey!" He shouted over down the hall. "Where are you going?"
Kai turned around to speak before walking out the front gate.
"Where do you think?"
* * *
Key watched as the clouds began to fade as the night time darkness filled the sky.
'Why do I bother.'
She closed her eyes and slowly got up as her back was stiff from sitting down for six hours waiting for Kai. She rose up and turned around only to be looked directly in the face of the one person she wanted to see.
"K-k-kai!" she stuttered.
Kai's crimson eyes looked directly into Key's lavender pools. Kai's arm slowly moved forward to grab her hand lightly and hold her hand out in front of him.
"I'm not afraid."
Key didn't understand at first what that meant but eventually realized it.
"I'm not afraid either."
Key looked at his tear stained face and spoke.
"Have you been crying?"
He said nothing. He just looked into her eyes and smiled.
"Kai?" she whispered.
"Yes?" he whispered back.
She blushed slightly. "I spoke with Rei."
"And I also."
She giggled. "You're lucky to have such a great friend."
Kai sighed and looked up at the now dark blue night sky.
"Yeah. I guess I am."
They both smiled a bit before getting lost in the others eyes once more.
"Key?" Kai whispered.
"Yes?"
"Do you hate me for not telling you the truth?"
"About what?"
Kai looked at the ground. "About being afraid to tell Tyson about us."
Key looked down as well but not for the same reason. "No."
"Really?"
Key looked up at Kai before leaning into his lips. "Really."
* * *
Kai got up the next day around noon.
He was incredibly tired. ((NOT IN THAT SENSE!!! DON'T EVEN THINK IT!!!))
He yawned as he rose from the bed and got dressed. He dragged himself down to the kitchen where Rei was cooking lunch.
"Wow!" Rei shouted as he smiled. "Did you have fun last night with Key?"
Kai blushed as his eyes widened. "I'm going to kill you as soon as you stop making that food smell so good."
"Oh! Well then, I guess I've got a couple more years to go cause you're gonna love this stuff!"
"Fine," he said blankly as he sat down. "Wait a minute!" Kai whispered. "Couldn't Tyson hear you say that?"
"Calm down." Rei said trying to cook as he spoke. "He and Max went biking. They're not here."
Kai sighed of relief. "Good."
Their conversation was drowned out by the telephone ringing. "I'll get it." Kai said.
He slowly got up from the table and walked down the hall to the phone. Rei began to hum as Kai picked up the phone off the cradle.
"Kinomiya residence."
"Kai? Is that you?"
Kai stopped to stare into thin air.
"Key?"
"Yeah. It's me."
Kai was glad to talk to her but the sound of her voice said otherwise.
"What's wrong?"
She began to cry. "I need you to come down to Mr. Dickenson's office right away."
"Why?" Kai was beginning to get worried.
"I don't have much time on the phone. Just do it and I'll explain everything when you get here."
"Ok! I'm coming! Hold on!"
"And Kai?"
"Yeah?"
She paused. "I love you."
He smiled. "I love you too."
He hung up the phone and ran down the hall and out the gate with such speed,
Rei never knew he left.

Muahahahaa! What will happen? WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!??!?!?!?
Ok. You don't have to worry. I'm posting another one this weekend so they should come around the same time.
Oh! And I might write a sequel to this but after I write another story I'm thinking of right now.
It should be good.
NE way, thanx a many!
