Chapter 10

The night ride home

On the roads with the long lines of street lights on the side of the road to keep the roads from becoming dark Rei and Kira rode fast as they could to make it back to their homes, of course Kira thought and wondered if Kenji was going to be alright "please be alright" she thought to herself as she tighten her grip around Rei's rib cage. He sensed that something was bothering Kira by the way she held on to him, Rei was becoming sleepier as the got closer to the exist of the highway that would lead to the city "are you okay?!" Kira called out loud so Rei could hear her from behind him "yeah I am just getting a little sleepy" he explained in a loud voice so she could hear him in respond to her question. Kira took a quick glance at the tower clock as they drove by it "well it is 3:00 am at night" Kira shouted "and we're not that close to home" she added, and with that statement Rei pulled over to the public bus retriever area "what are we doing here?" Kira asked as Rei switched off his motorcycle "we are going to rest here" he responded while climbing off his seat. Kira was surprised by Rei salutation "in there?" she asked while pointing at the bus that stood parked behind a tall fence "yeah, it's only for two or three hours then we'll continue heading home" he assured her as he slipped through a small opened space between the gate entrance. Kira always knew that Rei had a reputation of barging into private properties such as the school pool but this one was new to her "hey you wanna sleep on the bench or what?" he said as he held the fence open for her, Kira didn't want to waste her breath on asking what if they got caught because his excuse would always be "we're sorry" so she slipped in. "Rei what about a hotel?" she asked one last to avoid getting into with the law "I am kinda broke unless you got some money on you?" he responded, Kira looked in her purse and realized they really had no choice but farther more she trust Rei's judgement.

Rei picked the lock of one bus with a pocket knife "shouldn't we call mom?" Kira asked while he still worked on unlocking the door "don't worry we'll only sleep here just to regain some strength" he explained as he twisted and turned the knife until "click" the door opened. The couple walked into the dark bus without blankets or pillows but it didn't seem to matter to either one, Rei sighed as he laid on the ally of the bus "man what a day" he commented as he rubbed his eyes. Once he opened his eyes he watched Kira lay herself next to him with her purse on a seat next to her "you okay?" Rei asked while stroking the back of her head, he remembered back on the road something was on her mind "I'm just thinking about Kenji" she said with her hands on her lap "what is it?,..are you sorry for leaving him?" Rei asked with his hand still stroking her head. Kira shocked her head and began to explain everything she and Kenji were talking about back at Tsunami before Rei came "ouch, you have a huge effect on people" he said in a very surprised voice, Kira chuckled a little at his comment then suddenly Rei had a feeling that Kira might have been leaving something out of her story "Kira did you and Kenji uh,...do anything?" he asked. Rei knew it was a ridicules question to ask even Kira knew that but she smiled and answered "he tried to and I was about to let him but I couldn't you were all I could think about" she explained, he was shocked but he reminded himself about his close encounter with Yuka "Rei believe me nothing happened" she assured him sincerely "it's okay the same thing happened to me" he said. Kira's eyes were wide with shock "when we broke up over you living back with your step dad, I tried to get back into my fucking around days but I whimpered out because you were all I could think about too" he confessed with his head bowed down in a bit of shame but he suddenly heard her chuckle, he looked at her throwing her head back and laughing aloud "oh God we are both just pathetic" Kira said. Rei got her idea in his head suddenly he was laughing along side with her " yeah, we are truly fools in love here" he said as he began to laugh aloud, the couple leaned on each other with their laughs until the fell to their sides, as they slowly stopped they realized they were in each other's arms.

Rei felt his body beginning to heat up at the feeling of Kira in his arms again, she also felt the same way "oh God I love you lady!" he said as he rolled on top of her with his hand safely supporting her head and the other supporting her thighs "I love you too" Kira responded as she held onto Rei with her arms around his neck. "Wait a minute, right here?" Kira asked while Rei's lips were all over her neck "oh yeah" Rei said quickly then continued on her lips, Kira moaned softly as she felt Rei unzip her dress "what if someone catches us" she asked while he slipped off one strap of her dress exposing her bare breast but she did not resist him. Rei began to suck on Kira's left breast and each time he took his lips away so he could breath he responded to Kira's question "then...we...say...we're...sorry", Kira made a little laugh at his simple-solution "you always have an excuse for everything" she said in between all her gasping from the sensual electricity that Rei was inflicting upon her body. Rei grunted as he released her breast from his mouth "let me tell this, doing you is never an excuse,...it's a pleasure" he said with his face rubbing and kissing Kira's breast, she laughed a little at his compliment to her while she relaxed her body and surrendered to Rei's seduction.

After spending an hour,..or two in another of their unbridle intercourse both of them were naked panted at the same paste, even though they were exhausted from their fun they remained close to each other "was that one better then the first?" Rei asked while laying on his back staring at the windows that were all fogged up with Kira's head resting on his bare chest. "I don't need to keep a record of which sex we had were the best, because they were all great in their own way" Kira explained as she softly stroked Rei chest with the tip of her fingers, Rei agreed with her by planting a kiss on her brow as he did that he remembered something very important to give her "oh I almost forgot to give you something" he said as he was about to left her off. But Kira sighed with satisfaction "oh you already gave it to me" she said while snuggling her face on his chest, Rei chuckled with a lot of humor "very sly of you babe but I meant,.." he said as he got up and reached for his pants that were hanging on the arm rest of a passenger's seat. Rei dug through his pockets until he found the little bag with the ring "this" he said as he handed the bag to her "what is it?" Kira asked while staring at the little bag "didn't you notice I wasn't wearing the new helmet you bought me?" Rei asked as he slide back to her side, suddenly she did noticed what he pointed out only realized she was distracted by everything that happened. The expression on her cute face told Rei that she remembered "I traded it for what's in there" he said while pointing out the bag which Kira hadn't opened yet,..when she finally did she held out one hand and let the ring land in it, Kira gasped at the sight of the ring's inscription "my light of hope" which touched her heart and reminded her of the exact same thing that Kenji told her.

Kira felt tears of joy coming from her eyes as she held the ring in the palm of her hand, with that expression on her face Rei seized the opportunity in front of him as he took the ring from her hand, knelt on both of his knees, and finally took her hand into his. Kira could tell what Rei was going to ask her "you know you have already purpose to me before" she reminded him, Rei smiled at her "yeah but back then I didn't have a ring and I have been waiting a long time to do this right" he explained. Finally with all explained Rei took a deep breath and exhaled his question "Kira Aso, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" her tears flowed down her cheeks as Rei held the ring over her finger, awaiting for her respond "nothing would make me happier Rei Kashino" she said at last with a smile on her face and tears going down her cheeks. Rei slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand "not that I needed to know the answer but thanks anyways" he said in a humorous joke, they both laughed at each other.

Rei gathered her face into his hands and brought her lips to his, they both moaned softly with the joyful thought that they now finally feel like a real engaged couple but they were disturbed by the sounds of grown men unlocking the gates "morning boys!" one man called out "mourning they replied, the couple knew that these men were the bus drivers coming to work in the morning at 5:00 am in the morning. "Oh shit this is great!" Rei said as he and Kira quickly gathered their clothes from where ever they were tossed, Kira felt a bit nervous at the thought of "what if those men catch them in this situation?" but at the same time she was giggling at the excitement of it all. Once they managed to get dress they waited for the right opportunity to quickly slip out of the bus without the bus drivers seeing them "ready?" he asked Kira in a cautious voice, she nodded her head as she held on to Rei's hand with trust and confidant that they will slip out without any trouble. Finally the drivers were staled by something so Rei quietly opened the door and the couple spirted themselves quickly off the bus and slipped through the exist, once they were out one of the drivers noticed the bus door was opened "hey guys someone has been in the bus" he said as the rest of them looked at the opened door. The one in a security uniform noticed the fog on the windows and chuckled "yeah and they left their trademark on the window" he commented while pointing it out, the other men laughed when they realized that a couple must have slept there and they didn't feel up set they seemed to understand being young and reckless. Suddenly they heard a motorcycle vrooming it's engine, then they saw Rei and Kira riding off down the street "thanks for the bus dude!" Rei shouted as they drove by them with a smile on both their faces "aw kids these days" one of the men commented.

The couple laughed their asses off while continuing their ride home "oh boy we were this close at getting busted big time!" Rei shouted to Kira over his shoulder, Kira wave her hair away from her face "yes we were" she admitted to her soon-to-be-husband then laughed along with him but then the inscription on her ring reminded her to tell Rei about how Kenji considers her as his "light of hope".

Finally they reached their apartment building just at a quarter to 6:00, Rei noticed that Kuga's car was still parked in their drive "Rei I need to tell you something else that Kenji said back at Tsunami" Kira said with the hand that the ring was on close to her face, Rei stood and waited for Kira to say whatever was on her mind. "The inscription on my ring is exactly what Kenji called me,..his light of hope" she explained calmly but worried of how Rei was going to react "damn! you really do have a huge effect on people" he said after a moment of stunned silence passing by both of them, Kira was surprised but pleased by his reaction to what she said. Rei slipped his hands in his pocket calmly "so you are not angry about it?" she asked as she approached him closer "nah! why should I?,..nothing happen between you two so theirs no need to worry" he explained in his humorous voice, Rei noticed her expression and decided to just hold Kira in his arms for a while "well since we're on the topic of what happen while you were away" he said as he parted from her.

Kira was very curious to know what has been happening "have you ever seen Violet wearing boys clothes?" he asked in a chuckling voice, the image was printed in Kira's mind and it made her mouth drop onto the floor "Violet...in...boys...clothes?" she asked in a very stunned voice which of course Rei knew she would react that way and he just found it all amusing. "Yep, simple jeans and a t-shirt he looked very masculine" he explained "you probably wouldn't recognizes him, cause I sure as Hell didn't" he added while he watched Kira lean on the wall and their entrance door was behind her. "But who's car is that parked on our driveway?" she asked after just noticing it "oh that's the second thing" Rei said with a sly smile across his face "you remember Kuga?" he asked first just before he would continue with his news, Kira nodded her head in respond to his question and she thought to herself "I don't think I'm gonna like this".

Rei took a deep breath before he was about to tell her what he thinks is going on between Miya and Kuga "I think your mom and Kuga are hooking up if they haven't already while we were gone" he explained finally, Kira was a bit more surprised then she was when Rei tole her about Violet in boys clothes. Rei awaited for Kira to say something but he figured that the thought of her mother moving with someone else is a real shock to her "so are you okay with that?" he asked with his hand on her shoulder "yeah I am I just didn't expect to see her move on so soon after my step father" Kira explained in a calm voice "don't worry I'll tell Kuga that if he hurts her I'll break his neck" Rei said in an ensuring voice.

"Well at least we can be prepared for whatever we see" Rei said as he slipped his key into the keyhole of their apartment door, he opened the door slowly only to find Kuga laying on the couch with Miya's head laying on his chest, he had only one arm around her and they were still dressed which relieved both the couple. Kira tried to close that door quietly but Miya and Kuga woke up just by the sound of their foot steps "oh Kira, Rei we're so glad you're both home" Miya said as she got up from the couch, feeling a little embarrassed that her daughter caught her in a bit of an awkward situation "it's not what you kids think" Kuga said trying to help Miya out. But Rei made a sly smile as he walked to his mother and planted kiss on her cheek "don't worry I'm okay with the whole thing" he said as he placed both arms on the older couple, they both felt embarrassed but Miya gasped as she remembered to inform Kira about something "Oh Kira you had a phone call from Kenji's mother she said Kenji tried to kill himself last night" she said as she approached her daughter. Everyone was in silence especially Rei as he looked at Kira like he was going to say "he trying something" but Kira was stunned at the thought that someone would have died all because she refused him, the guilt was more painful then the guilt she felt for Shiori but she still asked what happen "she only said was that he swallowed a lot of pills and the doctors are pumping his stomach" Miya explained. Rei walked to Kira and placed a hand on her arm as he said to her "we better get going" Kira was stunned to hear him say that "Rei are you sure about that?" she asked as he pulled her to the door "the guy maybe crazy but he still is a human being and besides remember when Shiori wouldn't eat or drink unless I went to see her?" he said looking down at Kira. She knew what he was talking about when he mention Shiori, she remembered when Rei went off to see her she waited patiently for him to return "it's now my turn to wait for you, like you waited for me" Rei said with a smile on his face. Kira finally looked at her mother and Kuga "mom we'll be right back" she said to them, Rei and Kira hopped back on the motorcycle and as Rei switched on the motorcycle Kira thought about the things Kenji told her how he felt about her "Please Kenji don't make me hurt you again" she thought to herself as they flew off down the road.
