Rei pushed the door to Bryan's room closed behind him, eyes focused on the bed. He pulled his robe closer to his body, jumping slightly as the sound of thunder filled the room. As the downpour of rain hardened Rei launched himself into the bed, curling against his friend's back.
Bryan rolled over and pulled the trembling neko-jin closer, moonlight eye gentle. "What's wrong?" Rei shifted closer, basking in the warmth that radiated off the older teen. "The storm." Bryan pulled the duvet up, nuzzling his face in Rei's soft hair. "Don't think about it." Rei shuddered as thunder split the air again. "It stormed minutes before I got the shit beaten out of me and you expect me to not think about it?"
Bryan pulled back, eye filled with sorrow. He placed a gentle kiss on the barely visible scar above Rei's right brow. "I'm sorry. That was stupid of me." He pressed a kiss against Rei's slightly parted lips, giving into the urge to taste the lips he had longed to claim. Rei's golden eyes widened in shock at the sudden action before slowly sliding shut. One of Bryan's hands settled at the top of Rei's robe, fingers undoing several of the fastenings, sliding under the fabric, caressing the soft tan skin.
The neko-jin moaned in pleasure as Bryan's tongue brushed over his lips before slipping between to tangle with his own. Bryan ran a hand down Rei's side, hand coming to rest on the small of Rei's back, drawing the lithe neko-jin closer, deepening the kiss. Rei pressed closer, legs twining with Bryan's.
Bryan broke the kiss, biting back a moan as Rei's leg brushed against his arousal. Rei just smiled, gilt eyes burning, making him look innocent and painfully seductive at the same time. He whimpered as Bryan's hand slid lower, his other hand tangling in his hair to draw him in for another kiss.
Bryan nibbled on Rei's lower lip, delighting in the moaning purr that filled the room. He trailed hot kisses along the neko-jin's jaw line, lightly biting down on the tan skin. Reaching Rei's ear he suckled the lobe, tongue flicking out teasingly, tasting. Rei wriggled, placing butterfly kisses on all of the pale skin he could reach. Bryan pulled away, lips brushing against the delicate shell, hand sliding under Rei's pants, fingers closing around heated flesh.
"I love you."

Rei sat bolt up right in his bed, a single word slipping from his throat. "Bryan!" He slipped from the bed and started pacing, feet noiseless against the carpeting. "Gods Bryan. I'm sorry. I should have acted sooner but my power was so low."
The light between the beds flicked on and Rei turned to find Kai propped up, mahogany eyes fixed on him. "Rei, it's two in the morning. What the hell is going on?" The neko-jin ran a hand through his bangs. "Kai, I don't think you'd understand. Hell, it's me and I barely understand." The Russian teen sat up and leaned back against the headboard, eyes focused on his friend. "Try me."
Rei sat down on his bed, eyes sliding shut. "Okay, I'm from the Valaronia Plain, also known as the Immortal Plain. However, that's not important. Five hundred years ago I lived in Scotland with my friend, and we later became lovers. I was called back by my Elders, leaving behind a token with my lover. I had meant to bring him to my Plain when my power had returned." He absently brushed back a strand of ebony hair, eyes still closed. "The only way my kind can be killed is by grief. My lover was killed and I died several days later."
The golden orbs reopened. "So you see, I'm not entirely the Rei you know. I have the memories and feelings of my life before I was reincarnated." Kai mulled over the story for several minutes before asking the question that had plaguing him, a question he was sure he knew the answer to. "Who was your lover?" Rei fiddled with the end of his hair, eyes downcast. "Bryan."
There was silence for several seconds before Kai broke it. "Rei, you have got to be kidding." Rei looked up, eyes confused. "What do you mean?" Kai sighed, pushing hair out of his eyes. "You can't expect me to believe that Bryan is your reincarnated lover." Rei's eyes were burning, fangs slightly bared. "Why not? That is my Bryan."
Kai got to his feet, towering over the other teen. "If he is your Bryan, then why was he born here rather then in Scotland?" Rei slowly got to his feet, feeling his anger and something else swell. "I don't fucking know! Maybe for the same reason I was born in China and not on my own Plain. I can tell you one thing though. From the first time I met him, I could always tell exactly where he was. And I know that he's at the Abbey."
The older teen rested his hands lightly on his friend's shoulder, fingers bunching the fabric. "Rei, I know as much as you want to believe that Bryan is your lover, he's not. Bryan no longer has any emotion; he is not the person you used to know." With blinding speed Rei's hand came up, hitting his captain's cheek with bruising force.
Kai released the neko-jin, mahogany eyes not showing anything. He turned his back on his friend and slipped into his bed. "Kai?" Kai turned the light off. "Hn." Rei slipped into his own bed, trembling. "Do we now who I'm blading against?" Kai pulled his blankets up. "No."
The neko-jin buried his head in his pillow, vainly trying to keep the tears from falling, He sent a silent prayer to his gods, hoping it wouldn't be Bryan.
