"Kira, could you come to the kitchen please?" he mother called.
Kira grimaced, she hated being interrupted while she was painting. She quickly put down her brush, took of her smock and went to wash her hands.
"There's a boy on the phone for you," her mother informed her as Kira walked into the kitchen.
Kira was very surprised, she knew it couldn't be Rei, because when he called, and her mother answered she usually told him that Kira wasn't home. Her mother still didn't like him. Kira lost hope that her mother ever would.
"Hello?" Kira answered cautiously was she watched her mother wash the dishes from last night's dinner.
"Hello my sweetness," the voice on the other end of the phone replied cheerily.
"What do you want, and how did you get my phone number?" Kira replied coldly. She was really starting to get tired of Brian's games.
"Don't sound so excited to hear from me Kira, your mother may get ideas," Brian retorted, maintaining his joyous mood.
"What do you want?" she asked, ignoring his last comment.
"Besides you?" he questioned.
"I'm going to hang up if you don't get serious," Kira said lowly, so that her mother wouldn't hear. The last thing she needed was her mother interfering.
"Okay okay, you really aren't any fun tonight are you?" he replied. "Okay, we need to get started on our project."
"I'm changing partners tomorrow," she told him, smiling glad that she finally had some leverage.
"No you're not," he told her, his voice changing dramatically from playful to cold and controlling.
"What makes you so sure of that?" Kira asked him, loosing the confidence she gained a moment ago.
"Rei doesn't know about you being your daddies bitch right?" he asked.
She couldn't respond, it felt like her heart was stuck in her throat.
"I thought so. Now, if you want to keep it that way you'll meet me at the library on Monday after school," he said before hanging up on her.
Kira hung up without saying a word, and then went back up to her room.
"Hey Kira!" Harumi exclaimed as she spotted Kira walking towards her.
"Hey," she replied, trying desperately to feign happiness.
"Hey Kira," Tatsuya greeted her from a large tree a few feet away.
"Good morning Tatsuya, 'morning Rei," Kira said, hoping that nobody would see through her mask.
"Hey Kira," Rei said, staring at his feet. He still felt strange about what happened on Friday.
They talked for about five minutes, until the bell rang.
Kira began walking towards the large double doors of the school.
"Hey, can I walk you to class?" Rei asked Kira, running up to her and grabbing her arms.
"Sure," she said, she didn't know why things were so strange between them all of a sudden.
They walked together in silence.
"I'm sorry!" they both admitted at the same time when they reached the door of her classroom.
She laughed a bit. "I'm really sorry about what happened. It was... um weird."
"No, it's all right," Rei replied quickly. "It was me really, I was moving too fast."
Kira gave him a little nod, and he gave her a short kiss on the cheek before moving off to his own class.
"Good morning Kira," Brian said as she sat next to him, in her assigned seat.
Kira simply ignored him, taking the books and a pen from her book bag.
"Don't ignore me," he said warningly.
"Leave me alone Brian," she replied, trying to pay attention to what the teacher was trying to explain.
"Kira Aso, is there something you'd like to explain to the class?" the teacher said loudly.
Kira blushed furiously as her classmates turned in their seats to look at her. She rarely got into trouble.
She got even angrier when she heard Brian snicker under his breath. At that very moment she wished that she could just disappear someplace.
Kira was very glad when she heard the bell ring. She was out of the classroom and into the hallway within two shakes. As she walked through the crowded hallway she wondered what else Brian would blackmail her into doing, and wondered if it would really be that bad if Rei knew about her secret. She then pictured herself explaining what happened to him, and visualized what his response would be and decided against it.
As it always did the day went by quickly, and before she knew it she was walking down the school stairs again.
"Where are you going?" she heard Rei ask her.
"The library," she trying to stay cool.
"I can drive you there if you want," he offered, still trying to make amends for his rude behavior.
"Um, no it's all right," Kira said frantically, knowing Brian, if he saw Rei there he might tell anyway.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's not that far from here," Kira insisted.
"Maybe I could pick you up?" he asked. He obviously wanted to see Kira tonight.
She knew that she should have said no, but just couldn't resist.
"So, I'll pick you up at six?" he asked.
"Okay," Kira said.
"Okay, bye," Rei said.
"I'll see you later," she replied, staring up into his deep and clear blue eyes.
After watching him walk to his bike she began her trip to the library.
The streets were busy today. There were students and people walking home from work everywhere. The cool and brisk air of fall felt good against her face.
Her walk was over quickly, and she found herself in front of the large library within minutes. After taking a deep breath, and praying that Brian wouldn't try anything else on her she walked into the library.
She found Brian sitting at the closest table to the door. Kira walked over, set her book bag next to the chair in front of him and sat down.
"What took you so long?" he asked her without looking up from the large book in front of him.
She didn't reply, she just tightened her lips.
"Have you gotten any useful information yet?" Kira asked, trying to lighten the mood. If they were going to work on this project for a week, they may as well try and get along with one another.
"Not really," he said, looking up at her for the first time since she got there.
She felt her face get hotter when she realized how intensely he was staring at her.
"Is he taking you home?" he asked, sensing her discomfort and looking back down at his book.
"It's not important," Kira said sternly, taking the book under the one that Brian was reading.
"I'll take that as a yes," he replied.
She slid the book towards her and read the title.
"Human sociology! What does this have to do with our project!" Kira asked angrily, jumping out of her seat. "Don't you waste my time!"
"What else would you be doing right now? Painting, or maybe you'd be with your boyfriend Rei? Personally I think I'm more interesting than both," he replied cockily.
Kira had enough of his sarcasm and mind games and went off to look for books on their topic.
She returned a half an hour later with six books in hand.
"Where were you?" he asked, half angry and half confused.
"I found six books on the exact topic we're doing. You can look at three of them, and I'll look at the other three. We can meet up in the study hall in two days and set up a format for our essay," she explained, gathering her things in her hand. She could just call Rei and ask him to pick her up.
"That's cute, really it is, but I have a better idea. How about we go and get something to eat and we meet up at my house tomorrow after school?" Brian replied cooly.
"Or how about I do all the work by myself and I just put both our names on it," Kira said, she wanted to spend absolutely no more time with him.
"How about you do what I say if you don't want Rei to know about your secret," Brian replied curtly. "What do you think his response would be?"
She pursed her lips and tried to stay strong.
"How will he feel when he finds out that after sharing everything with you, that you've been holding out big-time. None the less, that your secret was that you're a dirty slut. That for two years you've been sleeping with your father," he added, his voice raising louder with each word he said.
"That's not it. Don't talk as if you understand what I've been through, because you don't. It wasn't like that and if I explained it to him he's understand. He loves me, and I love him. There's nothing you could do to tear us apart," she said steadily and strongly.
"If you feel this way then why haven't you told him yet?" he asked her.
Author's Note: Yay, I'm so talented. I'm spiting out these chapters like crazy! Brian really is evil. How could I have come up with such a mean character. Poor Rei, he seems a bit clueless doesn't he? Well, let me know what you think R&R! By the way, I was wondering, what's your favorite chapter so far?
