Chapter9
We're back and kicking butt again…Ok that sounded cheesy. So are you all shocked, all you strange people who didn't know what had happened to Rei? Due to a review we received I will place a list of all Japanese used in this and the last chapter. Well we're about to find out the culprit and I want to say this now, at the time this fic is supposed to be based, the person is not in it. I made him the person, as I really didn't like him for some reason. Well, without further a due I give you all…Chapter9.
Rei woke up. His head was still resting against Kai's bare chest and the steady beat of a heart told Rei to keep quiet.
Slipping out from Kai's embrace, Rei got up and examined his arms in the afternoon sun. They had stopped bleeding and the wounds had scabbed but had left angry bloodstains on Rei's clothes. Rei examined himself in a mirror.
Look at me…I'm a mess…again.
Rei got himself some clean clothes from his bag and got changed. As he was attempting to sort his hair wrap out he felt someone grab his hair.
"Let me do that." It was Kai. Rei allowed Kai to tie his hair into its usual style.
"'Afternoon." Rei said turning to face Kai.
"Is it that time already?" Kai asked picking up his clothes and getting dressed. "I guess we really should go talk to the others…I owe Max and Tyson an apology." Kai finished bluntly.
"Don't you want to know what happened…I mean the full story?" Rei asked confused.
"Last night was enough for me to figure out what happened. I don't need you to tell me anything else." Kai said, his usual tone returning.
"Well, just one thing before we go…Promise me we won't keep any secrets from each other anymore…I mean…if we're going to…um…be an…um…item." Rei said stumbling at his last words.
"I promise, I'll never keep a secret from you, ever…Ok that sounded bad. With that said though, I guess I have something to tell you." Kai said turning serious.
"What?" Rei asked looking at Kai with a worried look. He locked his eyes to the other boys and prepared for the worst.
"Well, this won't really change anything now…I don't think. But I am, or was, betrothed. I'm not sure if I still am and I only found out…" Kai stopped as Rei kissed him.
"It doesn't matter." Rei said breaking away.
"Yeah well…you said no secrets, I agreed." Kai said, his old tone back.
"Yeah, let's go now, the others are probably worried, they haven't seen us for nearly a day." Rei watched Kai as he left the room then quickly followed.
"I'm getting kinda worried about…Rei…Kai, hey guys…is everything-." Tyson began.
"Yes everything is sorted." Kai said coldly. "I owe you and Max an apology."
"Hey! It's ok! This is a hard time, for all of us…oh! Mr Dickinson sent us an email about the Russian championships." Max beamed.
"Hey Kai!" Kai turned around to meet Gordo.
Rei was just sitting down when that voice reached his ears. The one that would stay with and haunt him forever.
Kai felt Rei shiver against his arm.
"What's wrong?" Kai asked looking at Rei. Rei looked from Gordo to Kai.
"That's him!" Rei hissed quietly, his voice icy, his fear masked by his hatred.
"Who?" Max and Tyson asked.
"That's the one…who…" Rei couldn't bring himself to say what he needed to.
"He…?" Kai turned to face Gordo once again. "Omae o koruso!" Kai's fist connected with Gordo's face.
"Kai, what was that for?" Gordo snapped recovering from the blow he had received.
"Bastard! Acting like you never did anything!" Kai lunged forward to hit Gordo again but Tyson and Max restrained him.
"What a shame Kai. Your friends won't let you harm me. I would've gotten away with this. But you…you and your inability to keep a secret!" Gordo hissed glaring at Rei.
"Jigoku ni ike!" Rei snarled.
Kai attempted to wriggle out of Max and Tyson's hold on him but they tightened their grip.
"Kai if they let you go there's a ninety percent chance that you'll kill Gordo." Kenny said.
Rei looked worriedly at Kai. Anger and hate filled his eyes and Rei knew Kenny was right. Kai would kill Gordo.
"Gordo…you should leave…" Rei said shakily turning back to Gordo. "They can't hold Kai forever."
"I'm about as scared of him as I am of you." Gordo replied smirking. Rei recoiled. That smirk was the exact same Gordo wore that night. "You're scared of me Rei. You always will be. Do you want to know a secret…?" Gordo walked up to Rei and leant towards his ear. "I enjoyed that night." He whispered.
Kai overheard and managed to escape from Tyson and Max's grip and grabbed Gordo round the collar.
"Leave now! Don't come back and don't come near any of my team again! Next time I see you, I will kill you!" Kai glared coldly at Gordo then dropped him to the ground. "I'm giving you one minute to leave! Fifty-nine, fifty-eight…" Kai began to countdown.
Gordo got up and left the room hastily.
Turning to Rei Kai asked, "Daisuke?"
"Yeah…thanks Kai."
"Anyway as I was saying," Max said as Kai and Rei sat down beside each other, "We've been sent an email about the finals. We have to leave tomorrow. Mr Dickinson has sent us the hotel name and we're to meet him there." Max said cheerily as if nothing had happened.
I envy you Max. You're so cheerful, even in the darkest of times.
Mo aishiteru-I love you too
Ai shiteru-I love you
Omae o koruso!-I'm going to kill you
Jigoku ni ike-Go to hell
Daisuke-Are you ok?
