MistressMoon: Aw, I'm really really sorry about the shortness, but it was a little bit longer than chapter eight! See, I am improving! 1508 words in this chappy, there were only 1134 in the last, not including the disclaimer, notes to reviews, authors note etc.
Optical Illusions: You're very welcome, thank you for reviewing!
MoonMaiden625: Hello, thank you for coming back for this chapter! About your question... I've never really about when this chapter occurs, well I guess it takes place around when Masao enters the story (he wont be in this fan fiction though), which is about the end of volume 5 and the beginning of volume 6. I hope I've answered your question.
Moonbay: Evil... Evil... Evil is my one and only name. Yes yes I know, it's extremely frustrating when the author leaves cliff hangers. However my english teacher says it makes readers want to come back for more (which I hope it will).
Windshine: I'm glad you liked the chapter, and yes I have sort of switched the roles with the whole Masao thing. I thought that it would be interesting too. Yes sir! See, I'm updating right now (I'm updating so soon because I'm very happy with my seven new reviews.. so make the review count seventy and I'll update much faster!)
Kitsunia: Yeah... I agree Kira was a little ooc with the coldness... I hope it wasn't too too ooc. Yes, I think Brian is pretty awesome too... I love evil guys.
blueseedfan: I'm glad that you're still loving my story. It means bunches to me. I'll try my hardest to make sure that the quality of this story stays the same, or gets better (hopefully).
Hmmm... me likes questions, so if anything else is wondering about anything, anything at all, feel free to ask me! Now on with the story.
After a half an hour Rei got tired of waiting for Kira outside of the school and decided to go to the art room and look for her.
He walked through the front door, surprised that the security guard wasn't there to hassle him about where he was going. The halls were unusually quiet.
After climbing four flights of steps he finally came upon the art room door.
He opened it slowly, and almost gasped when he saw her crying on the floor
"What's wrong?" he asked her as he entered the room, closing the door behind him.
She tried to wipe all the tears from her face, but Rei already knew that she'd been crying.
"I'll be okay," she told him with a weak smile, not quite answering his question.
Rei frowned at her. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face pale, there had to be something wrong.
"What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything," Rei told her gently, tucking the hair that strayed from her ponytail behind her ear.
"Don't worry about it," Kira insisted, wiping away the last of her tears and getting to her feet.
"Are you sure?" he questioned her. "If it was that Brian, I swear I'll...."
She looked at him and couldn't help but smile. He was cute when he looked worried or concerned.
"It's okay Rei," Kira said. "I can take care of it myself."
"Okay," Rei said, following her to the door.
"Thanks for waiting," she said, taking his hand in hers.
He was disgruntled that she wouldn't tell him what was wrong but he understood that sometimes it took a while to talk about certain things.
They walked to the front of the school in silence. He then got on his motorcycle, turned it on and waited for Kira to climb on behind him.
As usual Rei went very fast, going maybe twenty mph above the speed limit. She clung onto him. For some reason, she really enjoyed riding with Rei. It make her feel special because nobody other than her had ever driven on his bike with before.
She sighed when the blissful ride came to a sudden end. They were finally in front of her apartment building.
"This is it," Rei told her.
She got off slowly and handed him his helmet.
"Thank you for taking me home Rei," she said dryly, all of a sudden she felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because of what Brian said. She really did want to be completely open with Rei, as he had been with her.
"No problem," he said, as he put his helmet on his lap. "I'll watch until you get into your room," he told her, he could see her bedroom window from the road.
"Okay," she said, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'm really lucky to have you Rei," she whispered in his ear.
He began to blush madly. Although he'd been given many compliments, it seemed to have a different effect on him when Kira was the one giving them.
She then turned around walked inside.
That night she got no sleep. All she could think about all night was Brian and what he said to her. She knew that Rei had also been through a lot of trauma, he watched his brother commit suicide, his mother committed suicide, his father died, and he lived all by himself, not to mention all the bad choices he made after his brother died.
Although Brian did a lot of bad things to her, a little part of her wanted to get to know him better. She wanted to know what happened to him, and how she could heal his hurt. She knew it was wrong, and that Rei would flip out if he knew this, but she couldn't stop thinking about him. His clear green eyes, that seemed to look right through you and into your soul, his sun kissed skin, his dark brown, shaggy hair... In more ways than one he reminded her of Rei. Besides the fact that they were both inhumanly beautiful, their personalities were similar.
After one o'clock she finally gave up and took a sleeping pill so that she wouldn't fall asleep during class. Bad grades were the last thing she wanted to have to worry about.
Rei was alone in his apartment. Again the heat wasn't working in his building, and he only had one pair of sheets. As he shivered in bed he thought about the odd situation he was in. He knew he loved Kira, there was no denying that, but he couldn't help believing that she was hiding something from him. He thought back to when he walked into the art room to find her crying on the floor. She seemed deeply upset about something. The strangest part about it was that she wouldn't tell him what was wrong, and she was always open with him. He started to think that maybe it had something to do with Brian, and that maybe she liked him, but quickly pushed those thoughts out of his mind and drifted off to sleep.
Although he only got three hours of sleep he still woke up early. He decided to get to school early for a change. The cool morning air should be good for his mind.
When he finished parking his motorcycle in the school parking lot he was noticed Brian standing against a tree.
Rei walked past him without saying a word.
"Good morning Rei," Brian said as Rei stepped past him.
"What do you want Brian?" Rei asked him coldly.
"I can understand why you're being so hostile. You see me as a threat don't you? You think I could steal your precious Kira from you. Well, you're right. I could, and I will. We have more in common than you'd like believe. You may think you know her, but you don't know anything Rei," Brian said. Although Rei's back was to him, Brian knew that he heard what he said.
Rei didn't reply, but he didn't move off either.
"Has she ever pulled away when you tried to make a move on her? She wouldn't do that if she truly loved you would she?" Brain asked, a small smile graced his face.
Rei frowned deeply, thankful that his back was to Brian so that he wouldn't get the satisfaction of knowing that his comment really affected him.
He chuckled as Rei stormed off.
