Chapter4
Okies. This chapter is the one were the smart people figure out what's wrong with Rei. And, finally, Rei and Kai might sort it out. I want to say thank you to all the people who have reviewed so far, keep them coming. Well, I'll just get on with the chapter…

"You have to promise to keep this a stone cold secret. Don't tell anyone this." Tyson nodded.
"I swear, I won't tell anyone." Tyson vowed.
"Ok…a week ago…I was going down to the Chinese takeaway-you know the one down the street on the corner…
#Noodles or rice…noodles or rice. "Rei!" Who… "Who's there?"::Walks into dark alley:: "You're mine Rei, all mine!" Nooo! "Just give in Rei. It's not worth killing yourself trying to get away!" "Go away leave me alone!"#
…I woke up the next morning, only to find my arms bleeding. My stomach, chest and legs were aching. I was fully dressed, but my chest…look…" Rei showed Tyson his stomach and chest.
"Oh my god." Tyson gasped, staring at Rei's scarred stomach. "Why didn't you tell us sooner…that you'd been…y'know, I mean…" There was a knock at the door. Rei put his top down then went to answer the door.
"Max!" Tyson yelled.
"Yeah whatever Tyson. Look Rei…I…erm…overheard…well eavesdropped…erm…" Max said looking at the floor.
"Max… I guess it's better that you know… just don't tell anyone…" Rei said sadly. He had never really wanted to tell Tyson and now Max knew too.

Kai's mobile started ringing. It was his Grandfather, Voltaire. He wanted Kai to come and stay the weekend, Kai protested but Voltaire insisted. Once Kai had hung up he went down to his room to find Tyson, Max and Rei all there.
"I'm going to stay with my Grandfather for the weekend!" Kai said bluntly coming into the room to pack. "Kenny knows."
"Yeah, sure, ok Kai. Thanks for letting us know in advance!" Tyson said sarcastically.
"Someone will be picking me up in about an hour. My grandfather had it all arranged." Kai said as he finished packing his bag.
"I'm hungry, c'mon Tyson…" Max grabbed Tyson and left the room.
"I'll, erm…move into a single room then." Rei said looking down.
"There's no point. I'm only going for two days." Kai crossed the room to close the door.
"Yeah, I guess you're right…" Rei muttered.
"Hm…"Kai said. If I didn't know better, you sound upset. But then…
"Kai, do you have to go?" Rei asked. Kai across at Rei confused. "I mean…you've been really great these past few…y'know, while I've been ill…besides I thought you hated Volt-." Rei stopped as he realised his mistake.
"What Voltaire says, goes." Kai said matter-of-factly.
"Thanks Kai…" Rei leant forward and kissed Kai on the lips.
Stop! Rewind! "Rei, did you just…kiss me?" Rei nodded, then kissed Kai again. Unexpectedly, Kai returned the kiss. Tongues became involved and it became slowly more passionate.
Suddenly, Kai's phone beeped in his pocket and they broke apart. Kai looked at his phone.
"Rei, my transport's here. I have to go…I…thanks." Kai smiled slightly, then turned serious again. Rei hugged Kai tightly, kissed him again, and then said, "Bye Kai. Be back soon."
Kai picked up his holdall and went to the door. He turned to look at Rei then left down the corridor. On his way past the common room, he grunted a goodbye to the rest of the team. When he reached the reception he explained the situation to the woman behind the desk. Then he went outside to find a black limo waiting for him.
Rei, you have no idea how much I don't want to go…*~~*
So what weird and wonderful surprises await Kai at his Grandfather's house? And did the kiss mean anything? Read the next chapter to find out. Mwuhahahaha! Damn no evil cliffhanger this time!!!!!!
