Hey! I actually started this sooner than usual for me after the last
chapter, but I like this part. ^__^' Well, for me the last few chapters
were rather boring. -_-'

It was morning and the birds were chirping so loudly, one wondered how someone could sleep through it. However, a tiered teenager's power of sleep is often underestimated.
Rei was one such teenager.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Kai stood over the raven-haired teen and looked down sadly at him. The sleeping boy was curled in the blankets, his hair providing a sharp contrast to the white sheets it was lying on. His skin seemed to glow in the early yellow light shining through the window.
A pale hand reached out slowly, almost asking for the golden eyes to open and make him stop. They didn't stir.
The very tips of the fingers brushed a cheek and when there was no movement, the rest of the hand moved to cup the cheek. He marveled at the softness of the oriental skin, tracing the jaw with a finger. He was hypnotized by the texture, seeming so much more real than anything else.
He slowly bent down, headless of the danger, and grew closer and closer to the beautiful face. He held his breath, wondering what would happen if Rei awoke just now. He grew closer and closer, expecting each second for those bright golden eyes to open and startle him back. When Kai's lips finally pressed against the soft skin it startled him. His eyes slid shut and he felt his stomach clinch. He wanted Rei. He wanted him ~now~. But he couldn't. Not after what had happened.
Startled out of his moment of serenity by that thought, he pulled away from the comfort and warmth of Rei's body and stood up.
He walked over to the door and walked through it to the kitchen. Rei smiled in his sleep, but Kai was gone too fast to see it.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Kai stared at Dranzer as she spinned in the dirt. 'I know I should. I know that after everything I should stick to him, but I just keep feeling that I can't let him in. It just...scares me.'
'You ~must~ trust him, Kai. You have to trust your love. You *know* you love him,' the soft female voice answered earnestly.
'Dranzer...It's hard...'
'Since when do you give up when something gets hard?' Dranzer answered amusedly.
Then all of a sudden a white blade spun in out of nowhere and slammed into Dranzer.
Kai looked up quickly and saw Rei sitting in a tree branch a few feet above his head. When Rei knew he had caught Kai's attention he hopped down out of the tall old tree and settled into a fighting crouch.
Kai growled a warning, but Rei just smiled and ordered Drigger to attack. Kai felt himself being pushed back by the tiger's quick and unexpected attack, but when he recovered he attacked ferociously back.
"Rei, I don't want to fight you," he argued, keeping one eye on the battle and another on the boy behind the blade.
"Then stop pushing me away for no reason!" Rei shot back, his pupils slitting in frustration. "Do you know how much it ~hurts~ to have you say you love me and then *decide* that just because someone finds out you can't be with me?"
Kai took a step back, a look of surprise and disbelief written across his face.
"Rei...I'm just trying to keep you from getting hurt..." Kai got the broken sentence out just before Dranzer was slammed backwards.
"You can't help me by doing this to me!" Rei yelled, "I can take care of myself and you could ~never~ hurt me if you didn't mean to! And you don't even realize how much you can make people hurt when you *do* mean to! I know you mean well, but you can't just keep doing this!"
Kai could see the tears gathering in Rei's eyes and he so wanted to just say he was sorry, but it wasn't that simple...
Dranzer's cry of pain was what awoke him from his angst-ridden dreamscape and he looked up sharply in time to see the blue blade go flying into a tree and stop spinning.
Something else he had screwed up in his life. Even after learning to be friends with Dranzer, he had never really taken her seriously, like a real person with a life too.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Kai looks so...downtrodden. It's as if he never even realized what he was doing. I call Drigger back to me and catch him in my hand. It was hardly even a battle. I had startled him so much he had never even tried to beat me. I think I got my point across, but at what cost? And what would he do now?
I see his lips move, but I cannot hear what he said. He's staring at the ground and I'm slightly scared he's gone away again.
I feel the need to comfort him. Now that the anger is gone, I don't want to see him so hurt. I place my blade in my pocket and walk over slowly to where he is still standing.
I realize that I feel like I'm approaching a wounded animal, and I am. He's standing right in front of me and he looks, but his eyes don't see me. They are blank, dead; with none of the usual emotions I find in his dark depths.
"I'm sorry," he whispers. I can hardly hear him; it seems to be too much effort for him to climb out of his darkness to talk properly.
I should tell him how I feel now, but I don't know how to without hurting his already broken feelings.
~`~,*|*`~,~
Rei reached out a hand to touch Kai, but he looked at him sharply. The Chinese boy ignored it and slid a hand around Kai's waist.
"I don't care about anyone finding out. Do you, really?"
Kai looked at Rei and mouthed the word "no".
"Then we have no reason to be hiding, than do we?" Kai hesitated for a second, eyes still focused on Rei. He let out a long sigh and pulled closer to Rei.
"Fine, we'll tell them."
"Good," Rei whispered, holding Kai close.
"It's just...I was afraid...that you would hurt me somehow."
Rei looked at his partner in astonishment.
"Kai...I don't care if you say you hate me, but never *ever* tell me you're scared of me!"
Kai looked slightly shocked and then did an astonishing thing: laughed.
"Rei...I could never hate you, and I promise I will never be scared of you, from now on. I'm sorry for hurting you like this; I was being stupid and selfish."
He then grabbed Rei in a tight hug as the raven-haired teen grinned.
This would turn out fine. Maybe a little odd, but fine.

So there! I hope you enjoyed that. I tried to take into consideration all of your opinions, and especially yours, Kim, but unfortunately if I followed you completely it would look like I was copying a friend of mine's fic (*PLUG!* Read some of Porticullis' stuff). I was getting bored with hearing myself talk to you guys, so I'm going to introduce some old OC's of mine. They've been around forever, and haven't been doing much lately, so I enlisted them in the recent loss of my muses. -_-'
*snaps fingers and a girl and guy appear*
Guy: I was wondering when you were going to do that. Do you realize how disorienting that is?
Girl: You realize I was *doing* something before you called me?
Bah. So this is Jostlin and Nik. Nik=Girl and Jostlin=Guy
Nik: -_-
Jostlin: Hey...
So, review...yeah!
Nik: -_-; This. Is. Hell.
