BIGGEST THANX IN THE WORLD TO LONE*PHOENIN1!!!!! Without her (and Kasey)
the story would have NEVER EVER got this far!!! * gives them Kai, Rei and
Tala plushies *
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rei's dad had come in from the garden where he had been taking his anger out on a tree. Finding his son on the computer talking to 'Red Wolf' had made it flare up again.
"Pack your things."
"Dad, let me jus-"
"I said PACK YOUR THINGS! WE'RE LEAVING TOMORROW MORNING!" The man roared, grabbing his son by the arm and pushing him into his room.
When Rei was sure that his father was outside again he lay down on the creaky old bed and let long kept back tears fall onto his pillow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tala had started packing his own bags as soon as he'd seen the urgency of Rei's good-bye. With out a single thought about himself he had decided to follow Rei back to Japan. He had no idea where he'd get the money from or how he'd get there, but he'd manage it. He had no doubt about that.
His bags were packed an hour later and he was seated at his laptop looking for cheap cancellations to Tokyo Airport for the next morning. By chance he got one. Money was no object.
*~*~*Next Day*~*~*
Rei's mother was completely oblivious to all that had happened the previous day. She thought they were going home because Rei had caught a bug.
At the airport Rei could have sworn he'd seen a flash of brilliant red, but he passed it of as wistful thinking. Tala wasn't stupid enough to follow him. Even if that were his intentions, how would he get tickets on such short notice?
Again on the plane he could have sworn he'd seen the crimson again, heading for the lower class cabins (he himself was travelling 1st class). Again he just decided he was seeing thing.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The plane arrived at Tokyo mid-morning. Tala stood in the middle of the airport wondering what to do next. He hadn't got to this part of his plan, so he was practically stranded in Japan with virtually no money. He sighed and sat down on a waiting bench. He caught a glimpse of Rei and his family heading towards the doors, Rei's arm being held in a bone-crunching grip by his father.
"Can I help you, sir? You look lost." A young girl with plane brown hair and eyes asked.
"Do you know anywhere I can stay for a few nights? Has to be cheap." He sighed.
"My mama owns an Inn. You can stay there if you like. I'm here looking for my friend. He's tall with kinda grey-blue coloured hair and blue triangles on his face. He should have arrived hours ago, but I can't find him." She said, looking around worriedly.
"What terminal is he coming from?" Asked Tala.
"Three." She replied. Tala stood up and found he was a good deal taller than the girl, who he later found out to be called Hilary.
"He's waiting by the main entrance, I think." He said, pointing over to a tall figure.
"C'mon then!" The girl said, dragging Tala towards the figure.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Couldn't resist bringing Hilary and Kai into it!!
