Rather Live Another Rainy Day
Chapter Four: Tragedies (that looks wrong..like not spelt right..lol)
Tala tried to concentrate on his job but found it getting to be impossible. How could he concentrate on protecting Julian Larson, a big company owner when they were currently in a bullet-proof glass elevator, heading up to the sixth floor of Hiwatari Inc.'s office building, just one floor below the office of his girlfriend's.
Or at least the person he hopes was still his girlfriend. Tala was starting to have his doubts as she hadn't returned any of his calls all week, and Tala had left a numerous amouth of calls, both at her house and at her office. Not to mention the flowers and chocolates and stuffies that he was sending her. Tala realized that he made a mistake but was it truly that bad of one?
They finally made it to their requested floor and Tala followed Mr. larson out of the elevator, taking a quick look around to see if there was anything to be concerned about. So far, nothing, but that was to be expected as Kai wasn't about to let the security be slow or weak enough to risk April's protection. Kai was as protective of his sister as Tala was of her.
"We're here to see Mr. Hiwatari." Tala said to the secretary.
The secretary looked up at Tala and blinked her eyes innocently. "Oh? Which one? Mr. Hiwatari senior, or his grandson, Mr. Hiwatari junior?"
Tala rolled his eyes. Did it really matter? The end result would probably be the exact same for them. Oh well, Tala looked at Mr. Larson who merely shrugged. Tala sighed, he was going to be no help. "I'm not sure." Tala said finally. "Which one is available?"
The girl sighed and typed something into the computer. "If you're Mr. Larson, you're booked for the younger one, Mr. Hiwatari junion, which in my opinion would probably be your best bet for your cause. He sees reason better than his grandfather does. Unfortunately, he's in a meeting right now, it went a little over schedule, but he should be here any minute now. So why don't you just go and wait in his office until he gets here."
Tala thanked the girl and walked Mr. Larson into the office. Mr. Latson promptedly sat in one of the two chairs arranged in front of Kai's desk. Tala moved straight to the desk itself and leaned up against it, crossing his arms and staring at the door, waiting patiently for Kai to come through it before he would allow himself to relax.
Mr. Larson was shifting side to side nervously, more nervos than Tala thought he should be for just a simple meeting. Tala was about to tell him so when a guy came through the door and into the room. Tala looked up and noticed that the intruder had a gun aimed for Mr. Larson. The rest was all instinct.

Rei was exhausted after his week under the public eye, all he wanted to do was get some sleep, next to his girlfriend most preferably. Rei unlocked the door to their apartment and walked in, carefully locking the door behind him, not wanting to have to deal with any crazed fans at the moment. Rei walked to the kitchen, dropped his keys and wallet onto the counter and lazily headed for the stairs that would lead him to his room.
Only to stop as he noticed that therew as a note for him on the fridge. Rei dragged himself back over to the refridgerater and pulled the note off of it. Rei turned on the light so that he could see what was written on the piece of paper.
Lolli had left him a reminder that they had a restaurant booked for eight-thirty. Rei sighed and looked at the clock, it was seven. Rei wondered if he would be able to get a quick nap before he had to go.
Rei looked at the clock again and shook his head. If he went to bed right now, he'd be asleep for the night and he'd leave Lolli to feel like she was being stood up and Rei wasn't going to do that, not to Lolli, at least. So Rei dragged himself up the stairs and into the bathroom to turned on the shower and throw himself in.
Rei finished his shower, wrapped a towell around his waist and exited the bathroom only to hear rattling from the kitchen. Rei was puzzled by the sound, who could be down there? "Hello? Lolli? Is that you?"
The rattling stopped and Rei could hear someone ran through the kitchen and out the door. Rei ran down the stairs and stared at the open door of the apartment and then let his eyes skim the kitchen. The only thing that Rei could notice was wrong off-hand was the note from Lolli. It was gone.
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
Kai pushed past the reporters that somehow had made it here before Kai had a chance to get down the three flights of stairs that had separated him and the problem. Kai would really have to ask Lolli how they did it, though she would probably just tell him that it was a reporter's intuition and nothing more. Hell, it probably was.
"What's going on here?" Kai asked as he reached the paramedics who were moving a body onto the stretcher.
"Are you the Mr. Hiwatari that we were told they sent for?" One of them asked.
Kai nodded. "That's right. My name is Kai Hiwatari. I'm one of the co-owners of Hiwatari Inc. Now tell me what's going on here please. I heard that someone got hurt but that's all I know so far."
The second paramedic continued on with his job, taking care of the injured person. This caused the first paramedic to have to deal with Kai by himself. The first paramedic sighed before filling Kai in. "Mr. Larson was here on a business appointment we believe-"
Kai interupted him. "Mr. Larson is hurt? I can't believe it!"
The paramedic sighed. "No, Mr. Hiwatari, his bodyguard took out the gunman before he did any damage to Mr. Larson. Unfortunately the bodyguard, Tala something or another, was hit in the line of duty. Now he has a minor wound in his hip and a mild concussion as we can see so far, maybe more but nothing serious." Kai looked around and noticed the first paramedic was gone and so was Tala. "I have to go now Mr. Hiwatari. You can learn more later by phoning the hospital later."
The paramedic left and Kai turned to leave as well, only to see April standing there. Kai instantly felt sorry for her and went to her and hugged her. "I'm so sorry April.
April tensed up at the feeling of Kai's arms around her. "Tala..." Then she pulled away and ran to the stairs and fled down them and Kai just stared after her, not knowing what to do.

Rei didn't understand why anyone would break into his apartment to take a note. It was just stupid, completely pointless and a waste of time. It wasn't like the note contained any information that someone who wanted to, couldn't get somewhere else. It was basically public information what restaurant he was going to be at tonight.
Rei entered the restaurant he was supposed to meet Lolli at and briefly looked around, wondering if any of the people already seated was the person who had broken into his house.
"Hello sir. Welcome to the Rose banquet. Please tell me your name and I will take you to your table." A waitress said almost immediately on seeing Rei standing there.
Rei flashed the girl a smile. "I'm Rei Con. I have a reservation for two."
The girl checked the list to confirm, giving Rei a change to study the people sitting down some more. One girl in predicular caught his eye. Hadn't he seen her before? At one of his autograph signings? Rei was sure of it. Infact, he was almost positive. She got up and went to the bathroom, giving Rei no more time to try and place her.
"Alright Mr. Con, just follow me." The waitress said and led him straight to a table. Rei's eyebrows creased together as they neared it. Rei was positive that it was the same table that Rei had just seen that girl at. But that couldn't be right. Rei must just be imagining things.
Rei sat down at the table and began flicking through the menu, wondering when Lolli would make her appearance. Hopefully soon, Rei didn't want people to take the empty seat as an invitation to come and sit next to him.
Rei took a look towards the bathroom almost by instinct and saw that girl again. She noticed him too and Rei quickly looked away, not wanting to encourage her to come over. However, Rei could hear her coming over to his table anyways.
"About time you showed up." The girl said as she sat down at the table. "Do you realize that you're five minutes late?"
Rei turned his head to look at the girl and found she was sitting in Lolli's chair. "Uh, excuse me. My girlfriend's coming and that's her spot, thank you."
The girl shook her head. "See that's why I"m here." She sighed. "You're just not right for that girl and she's just not right for you. I know these things. I also know that Lolli is seeing someone behind your back." Her fingers snaked out and intertwined with Rei's. "I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you."
Rei grabbed his hand away from hers. "What?"
She chuckled. "My name is Crystal. Did I ever tell you that?"
Rei's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean Lolli's been seeing someone behind my back?" Rei grabbed Crystal's hand and pulled her to him. "Tell me." Rei noticed that Crystal was now so close to him that their noses were basically touching. "TELL ME!"
Crystal smiled. "Of course, but first-" Crystal leaned over and brushed Rei's lips with her own.

"Alright, whatever, I don't care. As long as you like it, I promise that I'll like it." Shanna said as Kai asked if she liked the cake that he had picked out for the wedding.
Kai sighed and put down the picture of the cake. "Shanna, this is your wedding too you know. You deserve to have a say in this too. I don't like feeling as if I'm taking everything over." Kai came up behind Shanna and embraced her from behind. "You're not still upset about the whole invitation thing?" Kai kissed Shanna's neck. "Are you?"
Shanna shook her head and wiggled out of Kai's grip. "Of course not. I just trust your judgment on this sort of stuff."
Kai sighed and let Shanna go and walked over to the counter to make herself another cup of coffee. "If you say so." Kai decided to change the subject. "At my office today there was a hired hit. Mr. Larson bought a gunman who was supposed to shot him so that he could sue us for having poor security. Unfortunately, Tala was hired to protect him by his wife. So Tala did and-"
"He took the hit." Shanna finished. "How's April taking it?"
"I dunno. She won't tell me."
"Guess we have a lot in common." Shanna muttered under her breath.
Kai sighed. "What's wrong Shanna? I can tell there's something not right. Please tell me Shanna."
Shanna glared at Kai. "It's nothing really. So just stop pushing it Kai!"
Kai watched Shanna closely. "Yes there is. Tell me. IS it the wedding? Do you want to call it off? Do you not like the church? The food? The time? Do you want to reschedule? Replan? Come on Shanna, I'm not a mind reader."
Shanna glared even harder and shook her head. "It's all fine Kai!"
"It doesn't sound fine."
Shanna stomped to the door. "I'm going for a walk." And with that she was gone.

Lolli paced back and forth infront of the restaurant, wondering whether or not she should go in and tell Rei the news. The news that she had just learned a few hours ago. News that would change both of their lives forever. News that she was pregnant. {A/N: OMG!! *spazes out* First I make my favourite character get shot and now this??? What's next??? *looks at her plot outline* man this wasn't supposed to happen..}
Lolli didn't know how Rei was going to take it. Nor how she was going to tell him in the first place. How did you tell someone that sort of thing? 'Hi Rei. By the way, we're going to be parents in nine months. What do you think?' Shanna shook her head, I don't think so. There was no way that would work.
Lolli watched a young mother walk past with a carriage of twins. They were so cute, so innocent, so small and soon Lolli would have one of her own.
Lolli gritted her teeth and walked in, ready to tell Rei, ready to face his reaction. But then Lolli froze on her way to the waitress as her eyes spotted Rei, at a table, but he wasn't along. Crystal, that stupid bitch, was at it with him and she was kissing Rei. And Rei was kissing her.
Suddenly Rei pushed Crystal away and turned to look at the door and spotted Lolli. "LOLLI!"
Lolli turned, tears blurring her vision and she ran out of the restaurant and far away, not wanting to face Rei. Not wanting to face the father of her soon-to-be-child.
Oh god, how could he have done this to her?
{A/N: Quick note before you all kill me. No Rei wasn't kissing Crystal. Lolli walked in at the wrong moment and it looked like he was kissing her but that was only because it was the first second of the kiss and yah. Anyways, he wasn't kissing her. Rei loves Lolli. Work with me here.}
