Chapter10 (Ending V.1)
The last chapter in this fic has finally arrived. There were two endings written for this fic, one by Izzy and one by me. The one by Izzy shall be in this fic and was chosen by me as the final chapter of this story. Then I will put in the version of chapter 10 that I wrote. I wrote the start for both and you'll notice it when both chapters are up. We did have a vote for them at school and neither was picked so I'd like to know which one you like better. Personally I like this version, probably because I never wrote it.
The team had been in Russia for almost a week and the freezing cold weather had caused Rei to come down with the cold.
Kai grimaced as he woke, tasting the bile in his mouth. He'd been having those dreams again. It was early; the room was dark and his eyes burned when he strained to find out the time. Rolling over, he looked over to the window. The moon was full and glowing, casting a silvery light on anything in its path.
That wasn't what made him stare.
A slim silhouette curled up, dark against the bright orb of the moon, sat motionless. The soft sound of a page turning made Kai realise Rei was reading. There was a sniffle then a sneeze.
"You do realise that's not going to help your cold?" Kai grumbled, his voice raspy and dry.
Two large eyes met his. They locked longer than was normal and the intensity was too much for Kai. He looked away.
"Did I wake you?" Rei asked his voice merely a whisper. He uncurled and walked back to his bed, he shivered.
"Come here." Kai said lifting the covers.
"You sure? I'll be fine. It's not like I had the window open."
"You've been ill for a week. Come here, you should see a doctor." Rei nodded and curled up next to Kai. After a few minutes of awkward wriggling they settled down. Kai's breathing deepened and once Rei was sure he was asleep he brushed his hair back.
"I'll guard your dreams tonight." He kissed Kai's brow and lay back.
Kai sat on a bench out side the hotel, in the snow, contemplating. Rei was still asleep. Since returning to Russia Kai started to have the dreams that had haunted his sleep after leaving the abbey. They had died down since he had started the Blade breakers but Russia had triggered them. The dreams had brought back memories. Memories he'd rather forget. The girl who looked like Rei was in them. The girl he'd left behind.
"Kai?" Rei made Kai jump as he came and sat down beside him on the bench.
"Hey Rei…" Kai turned to Rei and pulled him close. "You should be inside, it's freezing out here!"
"Yeah, well…what you thinking about?" Rei asked curling up against Kai.
"Nothing…nothing…"
