Chapter Two:

Rei silently walked behind Kira as she led him to her house. So far things were going as he planned, and before long he would have Tatsuya beat, with a positive twenty bucks in his pocket. So far he had gotten Kira to talk to him and agreed to be 'friends'. It couldn't be that hard to get her to date him, right? No girl ever refused a date with him before. Why would it happen now?
Kira stopped and turned to Rei. "I can get home from here." She said softly. They were more than halfway to her house, and it was visible from the corner which they stood. Kira watched her step dad walk to the edge of the street waiting for her as he always did.
"Don't be ridiculous, I'll take you all the way to your house." Rei said smiling. "I mean, isn't that what friends do?"

Kira sighed. "No, really it's fine. Plus I know you left your motorcycle back at school. If you leave to get back now you can get back before it gets to dark."

"Don't be stubborn! I assure you I don't mind walking back to school in the dark. Just let me take you home." He begged.

"No, really you don't need to."

"But I want to."

Rei gave Kira the old puppy dog pout, and she agreed to let him take her the rest of the way home. She noticed that her step dad had angrily dashed into the house at her absence, and continued walking towards her house. Rei watched as Kira became more nervous the farther they walked. "Is something wrong?"

"Nope, everything's fine."

"Are you sure?"

Kira turned her head a bit and smiled slightly. "Uh huh."

They soon approached a tiny blue house on the corner of the street and Kira stopped at the edge of the driveway, and smiled. "Well, this is my house." She said softly.

"A very nice place you have here." He said smiling. "Why were you so scared to bring me here?"

Kira's smile slowly faded away, and her face became pale.

"Kira?"

Rei stepped forward and grabbed her hand, but as quickly as he grabbed it she pulled away and backed up.

"There is no reason really. I'm just not used to having others come over to my house." She said forcing a smile.

"Oh," Rei said softly. "That's understandable."

"Yeah, well, I have a lot of homework to do and you still have to get back to school to get your bike, so I'm going to go inside."

"Alright. See you tomorrow then?"

Kira nodded and backed up. She panicked when she felt a sudden jerk on her upper arm and screamed. Tears quickly formed in to her eyes as she tried to pull away. "Let me go!" She screamed, tears now flowing down her face.

Rei's eyes widened. "Let her go you bastard!" He yelled as he grabbed the man and threw him to the ground. The man grunted as he abruptly hit the ground.

"Oh no," Kira cried. "Daddy, I'm so sorry! You frightened me."

The man slowly got to his feet and brushed the pieces of grass and dirt off him. "It's alright Kira," He said glaring at Rei. "Who is this guy?"

Rei looked at Kira's frightened face trying to ignore the dirty looks he was getting from her father. He had just thrown an innocent man to the ground for no reason. Except the fact he thought he was going to harm Kira. Never in his life had he heard a woman scream like that, and he wasn't afraid to admit it scared the hell out of him. After a moment Rei heard Kira nervously stutter. "This is my friend Rei, from school." Rei then turned his attention back to her old man.

"Is that so?" He said and Rei nodded. "Well, in that case Rei you need to think before you act."

"Yes sir. I'm sorry." Rei said softly.

"Say goodbye Kira it's time to come inside." Her father said coldly.

"Y-yes sir, B-bye Rei."

"Good-Bye."

Kira walked slowly into the house trying to stall as much as she possible could. She knew that her mother wasn't home at this time. She also knew what her dad was thinking, she always did, and days like this always ended the same...
Rei watched as Kira's dad followed behind her into the house. 'Something's not right, and that something is some how linked to him.' He thought.

Kira's dad shut the door behind him and locked it just incase she tried to run. "Kira," He said softly. "I need to talk to you."

Kira slowly walked out from the kitchen knowing not to even try to resist him, he would only come down harder. "Y-yes?" she said softly.

"Did you tell that boy anything?" he demanded.

"No sir."

"Good." He smirked.

Kira slowly backed up against the wall as her dad inched closer. Tears fell down her face as she realized she had no where to go. She was trapped. "Daddy please don't do this." She cried.

"Come now Kira be a good little girl." He said grabbing her and throwing her to the ground.

"Please no, daddy. Don't do this." She cried again.

"Please Kira, shut up you have nothing to worry about. Now let daddy do what he has to do." He growled.

Kira screamed as he tore her clothes off and crawled on top of her.

Rei entered the classroom 30 minutes late just like he did almost everyday. He walked over to the empty desk next to Kira, and sat down.

"Thank you for joining us today Mr. Kashino." His teacher, Mr. Mizuno said.

Rei nodded. "Anytime Mr. Mizuno." He joked.

Mr. Mizuno rolled his eyes and turned back to the chalk board, knowing better than to question Rei's tardiness. It would only make the matter worse. "Please join everyone else on page 365 in your textbook."
Rei pulled out his book and turned to some random page to satisfy his teacher. Once he began mumbling on about atom structures of some sort, Rei turned to Kira and starred at her until she faced him out of annoyance. "You promised you would stop starring at me!" She whispered.

"Sorry," he said softly. "I only did to get your attention."

"Why didn't you just call my name?"

"I didn't think of that!" Rei said sweat dropping nervously.

Kira sweat dropped and shook her head lightly.

"Anyways, what are you doing today after school?"

"Nothing why?"

"Good, I want to take you some where today after school. Meet me in front of the school same place as yesterday, okay?"

Kira nodded. "Alright, but where are we going?"

Rei smiled. "You'll have to wait and see. It's a surprise."

Kira then turned and faced forward once again. Wondering where Rei was planning to take her after school. There were so many places they could go. Like the beach, the mall, or even the park. She really didn't care where he took her. For so reason she felt safe around him, and she didn't understand why, all she knew is that she couldn't wait! She has never gone anywhere with a 'friend' before, and especially not a 'guy friend'. Considering the fact that he was her first and only friend she had ever had in her 17 years of life. Kira smiled and turned back to Rei, who was now looking forward pretending he was paying attention and had some what of a clue what sensei was saying. He noticed her starring and turned to her and smiled. A moment later he winked at her causing her to turn bright red, and he looked forward once again.

The lunch bell rang and everyone went their separate ways. Kira returned to the art room while everyone else rushed to meet up with their friends in the court yard. Kira liked being alone in the art room. The smell of oil paints soothed her. It made her feel safe and secure, that which she has never felt anywhere else. She placed her sketch book down on her canvas, and walked over to the window and sat down. She closed her eyes as she placed her head up against the wall, suddenly wishing she was no longer alone. Wishing that Rei was there with her. Her eyes darted open at the sound of the door opening and she quickly sat up expecting Rei to walk in, but he didn't. A slender girl with very short blonde hair now stood in front of Kira. Her arms were crossed and her eyes uneasy. "Expecting someone else?" She said softly. "Well, sorry to disappoint you, I'm not Rei."

Kira looked to the ground as she spoke. "What do you want?" She said so softly that she could barely be heard.

"I' here to warn you to back off, Rei Kashino is mine do you understand that?"

"B-but we are just friends."

"I don't care I don't want you talking to him at all. I mean all you are really doing is wasting your time. Rei wouldn't dare to look at you twice."

"Really Harumi, tell me how would you know what type of girls I'd like?" Rei asked standing in the doorway.

"Oh Rei," Harumi said softly. "I didn't see you there." She said running up to Rei and throwing her arms around him.

Rei rolled his eyes and pushed her off. "I think it's time for you to go now."

"Okay." Harumi pouted and then walked out.

Rei walked over to Kira and sat down. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Good, just let me know if she says anything more to you. I'll take care of her."

"Okay." Kira said to embarrassed to look him in the eye.

"Hey Kira?" Rei said softly.

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to grab your hand, so don't pull away please?" He said softly.

Kira inhaled nervously. "A-alright."

Rei reached forward and took Kira's hand into his and creased it softly. 'Her hand is so soft and warm,' he thought to himself. 'And to think, I'm the first person she has ever let touch them.' Rei then smiled. "Hey Kira." He said again.

"Y-y-ye-yea?" She stuttered.

Rei grabbed her arm and pulled her down in to his lap and she yelped. "Don't be so afraid." He whispered in her ear.

Rei sat down in front of Tatsuya and smiled softly. "You're loosing this bet, pal."

"Says who?" Tatsuya laughed. "You?"

"Yeah me," Rei said. "I am taking Kira to dinner to night, and after that for a walk on the beach at sunset."

"But that doesn't mean your winning this bet."

Rei laughed. "You'll see. Anyways, Kira is really strange."

"I could have told you that." Tatsuya said rolling his eyes.

"You know earlier how I told you I walked Kira home last night?"

"Yeah so?"

"Well, here dad grabbed her arm and she freaked, but then she made it seem like it was because he frightened her from walking up behind her." Rei said.

"What are you trying to say, Rei?"

"I don't know. There was just something about that man that isn't right. I really don't like him."

Kira walked out the main doors in the front of her school and smiled when she saw Rei at the end of the side walk waiting for her with his motorcycle.

"You don't mind riding with me on my bike do you? I wouldn't want to pop your personal space bubble." Rei teased.

Kira blushed and looked down to the ground. "Rei that's not funny."

"Sorry, but really do you mind?"

"No, not really."

"Good," Rei smiled and handed her his helmet. "Put that on and we can go."

Kira did as she was told and put the helmet on her head, and hesitantly got on to the back of the bike.

"What do I hold on to?" She asked nervously.

"Me, place your hands around my waist and hold on tight."

"What?"

"You heard me."

Kira closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his wait as he said. "O-okay," She said softly.

"See? It wasn't that bad now was it?"

"No, not really."

"Okay then, hold on tight." Rei said as he started his bike and rode off.

The soon approached a small restaurant / pizzeria on the beach front. Rei parked his bike and help Kira down, and smiled. He then took her hand and led her into the restaurant.

"You are shaking." Rei said softly.

"I'm sorry."

Rei smiled. "You don't have to be nervous around me. I promise I won't do anything."

"W-what?"

"Clam down."

Rei led Kira to the back of the restaurant at a table that was well lit with candles. Rei pulled out Kira's chair and she sat down and he soon joined her. As soon as the sat down there waiter came with menus for them so they could order. During dinner Rei told Kira a little about himself and in return she did the same. Rei learned that Kira's real father died when she was ten, and her mother and she had been devastated until her step dad come into the picture.
After dinner Rei led Kira across the street to the board walk and they sat in the sand and talk some more. They talked about themselves, what their likes and dislikes were, they talked about school, and family. Rei even got Kira to laugh once or twice. The sun had gone down and the two were the only couple left on the beach but it didn't bother them. Neither of them had ever had someone to actually truly listen to what the other had to say.
When Rei finally got Kira home it was well past eleven, and she got scowled for coming home so late, and not informing them she wasn't coming straight home after school, but she didn't care. For the first time in her life she was truly happy.
