Chapter8

Sorry it took so long for this chapter to get put up. All you people who haven't figured out what's happened to Rei {and there is only 2 possibilities} you're about to find out. Thanks for all the reviews, keep them coming. Tears will be spilt, however enjoy.

Rei closed the door and sat down on his bed. Kai was already in the room and sat down on his own bed.

"So, Rei. What is it that I don't know that the others know?" Kai pressed harshly.

"Well…last week…" Rei sighed. "Here we go again. Ok…I was on my way to the Chinese…the one down by the corner. Well I couldn't decide whether to get noodles or rice…" Rei paused to look up at Kai who was unpacking his bag.

"Carry on, don't mind me." Kai said coldly.

Kai…I'm sorry.

"I was running the choices through my head when a voice calling my name penetrated my train of though-." Rei stopped as Kai held his hand up to hush him.

Kai got up and went across to the door. As he opened the door Tyson and Max fell into the doorway.

"Don't you know it's rude to eavesdrop!?" Kai said nudging Tyson in the side with his foot.

"Kai…they all ready know…" Rei silenced himself as Kai turned around to glare at him.

"I'm aware of who knows and I don't care!" Kai snapped. "I though, maybe, what happened the other morning was real! But I'm sure if whatever it is you haven't told me was so important you would have told me, if what happened that morning was real!" You've hurt me Rei. I won't say it out loud for risk of breaking my mask. I don't know if you know it or not Rei but I'm hurt.

Tears began to drop quickly from Rei's eyes. Tyson, Kenny, who had come down the corridor, and Max now stood in shock, all kept quiet, however.

"You don't give a fucking damn about me. I know I don't show much emotion but I can still get hurt and you don't give a damn. You fucking whore!"

Rei broke at Kai's final words, he stood up angry through his tears.

"So you don't give a fucking damn in hell that I was fucking raped!" Rei ran off to the en-suite, tears pouring down his face.

Kai stood shocked to the bone.

"Erm…Kai? Are you ok?" Max asked placing a hand on Kai's shoulder.

"Leave me alone!" Kai turned around quickly and smacked Max hard across the face.

"Kai…did I…say something…wrong?" Max asked holding his face.

Kai walked silently across to the en-suite door. Attempting to open it he found it locked.

"I think it's time we left…c'mon." Max led Tyson and Kenny back to the common room, shutting Kai and Rei's door behind them.

"Rei…I'm sorry…" Kai said sliding down the door. "If you'd have told me I would've know and…I'm sorry…" Kai bit back unwanted tears. He hadn't cried since the Abbey, he wouldn't cry now.

Rei sat silently in the bathroom unwrapping his bandages.

"Rei open the door!" Kai said becoming annoyed.

"Go away Kai! You don't…care!" Rei choked through sobs. "Leave me alone!"

"Rei please come out…I…I do care…" Kai attempted to sound comforting.

Kai you still can't do it…but do you want to?

"Rei. I wasn't joking when I said I thought the other day was real. God, I sound so pathetic and you're probably not even listening…Stop-crying Rei, I can hear you. I've said I'm sorry and I mean it. I don't know what else to do or say. I'm going to bed now. Good night Rei." Kai got up and walked across to his bed. He looked at the clock while he began to undress. Eight thirty pm, already. When he was down to his boxers he climbed into bed.

As Kai began to drift off the bathroom door clicked then opened. Rei stumbled out, blinded by tears.

"Kai, I'm so sorry." Kai jumped out of his bed and caught Rei as he fainted.

"Rei? What's wrong?" Kai asked, a hint of worry tinting his voice, as he sat down on Rei's bed.

Rei didn't reply. Kai looked down at the form in his arms, then he saw it. Whilst he was in the bathroom Rei had unpicked all his stitches and blood seeped out of his wounds.

"Rei…" Kai got up and went through to the en-suite. He wet a couple of his own black towels then returned to Rei. Wrapping the towels round Rei's wrists he got back up to phone a doctor.

"No Kai…I don't need a doctor!" Rei whispered stubbornly.

"But Rei…you're…ok." Kai understood. There had been times when he had been ill or injured and wouldn't see a doctor. This was one of those times, only for Rei. Kai walked back across to Rei and sat down beside him.

"I'm so…so sorry…" Rei buried his head in Kai's bare chest. Kai embraced Rei lovingly.

"Don't cry…I'm the one who should be sorry. All those things I said to you. I never meant them. I guess I said them because I was pissed off…because I love you…but I couldn't face it. I couldn't face the cold hard truth…Ai shiteru Rei." Kai said, his voice full of emotion he'd forgotten he had.

"Mo aishiteru Kai…mo aishiteru…"

The pair sat there for the rest of the day. Rei curled up against Kai in his embrace, his sobs breaking the silence every now and then.

I cried writing this chapter. I know Kai is really ooc but I had to change him to maker this scene right. Besides my view on Kai is even though he doesn't show emotions outwardly in public, doesn't mean he can't get upset and display his love for someone.
