Chapter 5 - I Want The Truth... And I Want It Now
Kai put his shirt collar up to hide the bite, but the thought of Rei seeing it haunted his mind. What would he say? His situation didn't help him either, going out at midnight, not telling anyone where he was going, then returning at two with a love bite. Kai decided to ignore these thoughts, and think of it as having to wear high collared shirts for a while.
He looked over his shoulder at the door he had come out of, before starting his journey back to Tyson's house. Kai heard a slight rumble in the sky; he looked up and saw a huge black cloud heading his way.
"Perfect," muttered Kai under his breath.
Like he had expected drops of rain began falling every so often, Kai pulled his hood over his head, the shadows over his face making him look very mysterious. The tall blader put his hands in his pockets as the rain came down heavier and harder, but still he kept to his slow steady pace, general thoughts on life roaming through his mind.
A crash of thunder and lightning caught Kai off guard and he jumped slightly in shock. He had gone the long way home, not wanting to go back through the alleyway, but now wishing he had.
The rain was now unimaginable, hitting Kai's whole body hard and quick, like millions of needles were thrown point-first at his body. The tall boy picked up the pace to a full on sprint through short cuts and gullies behind houses. Echoing bangs of thunder constantly over his head. He ran as fast as he legs would carry him, his hood falling off from the force of wind and rain, but Kai carried on, the water dripping through his hair onto his face, in his eyes and down his painted cheeks.
Kai's breath picked up, his lungs going up and down quicker and quicker. He came to two pathways for some reason his memory had left him he forgot which way.
"Shit!" Kai cursed himself as he tried to remember, left or right?
He came to a complete stop between the two directions, the weather still against him. Kai could feel the blue shark like marks on his face running down his cheeks, his hair dripping water into his eyes.
"Come on think......... left!"
His thoughts had returned, even though he didn't know why they fled in the first place, Kai took off again down the narrow alley, recognizing his surroundings he sprinted fast as a loud, mind shattering blast of lightning struck the street on the other side of the fence. He jumped back into the opposite wall, breathing heavily in shock. The trees above him sheltering him from rain.
"That was too close," he thought to himself and he set off again. Trying to block out the bangs and rumbling sounds above him.
Kai finally arrived at the rear end of Tyson's house; he easily jumped the fence and ran over to the roofed walkway.
Breathing heavily, he leaned against one of the support pillars, holding his chest tightly trying to calm down. His soaked hair sticking to his face and dripping freezing water down his back, he tensed at every droplet. Kai put his head back against the beam, his eyes closed, taking deep, slow breaths.
"Bet that was a fun journey home."
Kai stood up quickly and looked behind him, he saw Rei standing at the end of the walkway smiling at him.
"Different than usual," he replied as he made his way over to Rei, coming to a stop a couple of feet away from him, "I told you not to wait up," Kai ran his fingers through his wet hair as he spoke.
"I didn't say I was going to listen to that, did I?" Rei smirked, his golden eyes glittering in the early light, "And well done, bang on two, just like you said."
"I'm a man of my word," Kai grinned as another bang of thunder ran through the sky, "Come on let's go inside... I'm freezing."
Rei put his arm around Kai pulling him close as they walked to the back door, and went through into the living room.
The mahogany-eyed boy looked around and noticed the fire was on and a couple of towels were lying on the arm of the couch. Kai smirked then turned to face Rei.
"You knew I'd be back when I said I would."
"Yeah... I know," Rei smiled then slowly removed Kai's jacket from him and hung it up. He took the tall boys hand and led him over to the fire, sitting him down.
Kai sat for a while with his eyes closed, soaking in the warmth and security he was feeling. Rei walked slowly over to him and carefully took off his leader's soaked shirt, realising what was happening Kai leaned back stopping Rei from seeing the bite... but it was too late.
Rei stepped back, his eyes wide as he fell onto the couch. Kai stared into his golden eyes, seeing pain, confusion and heart brake inside. He shuffled over to Rei on his knees.
"Where did you get that?" asked Rei, his voice was cold.
"Get what?" Kai tried acting innocent, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Don't play dumb Kai, that," Rei leaned forward and pulled Kai's collar down, revealing the red sore bite.
Kai continued to be oblivious about it,
"You did it, in the bathroom."
"Don't be like that Kai, I know I didn't... I made sure I didn't leave a mark... tell me the truth Kai!" His eyes pierced Kai's skin, and Kai knew his story wasn't working.
"I... I can't," Kai stood up, his eyes locked on Rei, "Even a heart... as cold as mine... can't handle some things." He closed his eyes as he left the room, and made his way up stairs, leaving the broken Rei.
The soaked blader stepped into the bathroom to dry off. Taking off all his wet clothes and wrapping a towel round his waist, his skin still damp, but better than soaking. He made his way to his bedroom, unlocking the door with the key from underneath the rug. Kai walked inside, and looked up... jumping slightly at the dark outline of a person on his bed. Slowly and carefully, he moved closer to the silent intruder, the faint moonlight casting shadows in the room.
"A heart like mine forgives... and always will," the figure lifted his head.
"Rei... how'd you?"
"The bathroom connects yours and my room," he smirked signalling Kai to sit next to him, "Even if that mark wasn't me... I don't care, as long as I can still call you my own." Rei ran his fingers through Kai's damp hair.
"You'll always be able to." Kai slowly leaned forward kissing Rei's lips softly, but straight away Rei deepened the kiss, pushing Kai back onto the bed, and his tongue into his mouth, leaving Rei on all fours on top of his captain. Both of them feeling pleasure and lust race through their bodies, Rei purring softly as his tongue roamed around Kai's mouth, his fingers walking up his muscular chest.
Kai lay, enjoying every second of the kiss, but his desire for dominance grew stronger and he pushed Rei back up, both of them on their knees, their lips never once parting. The raven-haired boy knew Kai wanted to take control, but he wasn't planning on giving it to him without putting up a fight.
Kai began to slowly, but surely put his weight forward on Rei, pushing him back onto the bed, still their lips locked on one another. At first Rei stood his ground, stopping himself from leaning, but Kai was just that little bit stronger; he easily got the edge and pushed him down onto the bed, flat on his back. Now that the grey haired boy had control, he put his legs on either side of Rei's waist, sitting on his knees, slowly untying his ruby red sash, a smirk creeping its way across Kai's face.
The final knot unloosed, Kai threw the sash to the side, soon to be joined by other items of clothing. His eyes stared at Rei, filled with thrill and seduction, Kai leaned forward and gripped Rei's collar pulling him to an upright position, leaving his eyes level with Kai's chest. The golden-eyed boy wrapped his hands around Kai's belt buckle, unclipping it instantly and swiftly pulling it from around his partner's waist, throwing it aside.
Kai's eyes glowed beautifully in the faint light as he removed Rei's shirt, a sexy, dominant smile on his face. He moved closer and closer to Rei, there lips touching again, softly he moved his tongue along Rei's lip's, making him let out a tiny purr of pleasure, wanting access which was granted within seconds. Locked in passion and lust yet again, Rei soon broke it, his lips less than a centimetre from Kai's, both their eyes still shut, he whispered quietly.
"I'm yours..."
Smirking, Kai slid off Rei and slowly walked over to the door, locking it shut. He turned round to face Rei, his eyes glowing with desire and lust, something Rei had never seen. Kai made his way back over to him, taking off his shirt as he walked. Slowly he sat and straddled Rei's waist. Rei stared at the beauty in front of him, feeling unimaginable pleasure to say it was his.
"I don't want this night to end," Rei muttered,
"You won't forget it," Kai leaned in pulling the blanket over the two of them, hiding the two of them from the world, as they knew it and locking them in their own.
The early morning sun shone onto the sleeping figures, their skin glowing in the tinted light. Rei was sprawled across Kai, his bronze waist hugged by pale hands.
Kai's hair hung over his eyes, his chest going slowly up and down in a deep tranquil sleep. Golden orbs flickered open as Rei woke from his slumber. It took a second or two for his eyes to adjust to the sunlight shining on him, letting out a heavy sigh he looked at the clock, 5:30am, sighing again he turned his body over slowly so not to wake his sleeping love.
He lay, staring at his captain's pale face. Rei liked Kai in the mornings without his painted face; to him he looked like a whole new person, innocent and calm. It was like the real Kai had surfaced, but only for his eyes to see, to everyone else, Kai was the strong, emotionless blader who feared no one and nothing.
Rei softly stroked Kai's face, his fingers sliding across is smooth silky skin. Thoughts about last night entered his mind, causing a slight smirk to appear on his face. The pleasurable feeling that went through him would never leave his memory as long as he lived.
His tanned finger slipped under Kai's eye causing his captain to wake suddenly.
"Oh... Kai I'm so sorry!"
Kai blinked his crimson eyes to focus, then looked over at the pleading Rei. A playful smile drifted onto his face as he tackled Rei down, pinning his wrists and straddled his waist.
"Don't even bother waking me up again, you hear me?" Kai ordered, his eyes glowing, but his voice still slightly sleepy.
"I defiantly heard you last night... and I suspect so did everyone else," Rei smirked.
"Well for your sake, you better hope they didn't or you won't be getting any off me... ever!" Kai smirked just as sinister back at Rei.
"I'll be hoping for a miracle then... now get off me I want to go in the shower," Rei tried to push Kai off, but Kai was too strong.
"Make me," Kai playfully stuck out his tongue, which took Rei by surprise at first, but then realised that he must feel secure enough to play around with him.
"Come on Kai-koi, I have to get ready to start breakfast," he put on an innocent smile,
"It's Tyson's house, let him do it,"
"He'd eat it before we even got near it... please," Kai sighed as he climbed off Rei and began to get dressed.
Rei got up, stretching his arms and walked into the bathroom.
Pulling on some jeans, a polo-neck jumper and his shoes Kai got up, ripped a piece of paper out of Rei's notebook and began to scribble down words.
Rei-koi, im going out, duno when I'll be back... around lunch or maybe tonight... love you x
He folded the note and placed it in the middle of the bed so Rei would notice it, then left the room and walked downstairs to the front door, picking up his penknife as he went.
Kai quietly tiptoed through the kitchen then into the living room, to be greeted by Kenny sitting at his laptop. Kai froze in his tracks hoping he hadn't been noticed.
"Your up early Kai,"
"Hmm..." he smirked at Kenny,
"Had fun last night didn't you?" Kenny peered over the screen at Kai, a telltale look in his eyes.
"Shit... Look Kenny about that-"
"Don't worry Kai, your secret's safe with me... and before you ask... no one else heard," he winked at his captain,
"Thanks Kenny..." replied Kai trying to hide his blushing face, "...and if Rei... comes down can you make sure he found the note I left him?"
"Sure thing," Kenny nodded as Kai walked out of the door into the bitter outside. The brown haired boy watched Kai walk through the alleyway through the window, passing it off as not his business, Kenny got back to work.
Upstairs, Rei stepped out from his steaming shower and wrapped a towel round his waist. He rubbed his soaking hair with another towel, hung it on the radiator, and then stepped into the bedroom.
"Kai-koi what do you w-" He looked around; noticing Kai wasn't there, "Kai?" his eyes scanned the room, and spotted the note on the bed.
With a quick pace Rei took the note and read it out loud... his eyes widened and he screwed up the note throwing it to the side.
"Damn you Kai." Rei cursed as he pulled on some baggy jeans and a Chinese shirt, a coiling dragon swirling round the back. He pulled back his hair, quickly wrapping the usual white ribbon around the lower part, and leaving the front to hang perfectly around his face.
Rei ran down the stairs, tripping at the last step, he stumbled through the door and into the kitchen. Regaining his balance, Rei made his way through to the living room, and like Kai before him, was greeted by Kenny.
"Aren't I popular today?" Kenny teased,
"What you mean?" Rei asked,
"You're up and about already and Kai just came down... Oh and did you get the note?"
"Yeah I got it... Do you know where he went?" asked Rei.
"Umm... yeah, he went down that alley," Kenny pointed out the window to show Rei.
"Thanks Kenny-kun!" Rei called as he dashed through the front door.
"Um... bye," Kenny sighed and turned his attention back to Dizzi.
Meanwhile, Kai was walking down the dully-lit alley, his hands in his pockets, tightly gripping his penknife. He walked slowly wondering what he was going to say to Josuke. Not knowing exactly why he came, except to tell him that he wasn't going to go through with taking Rei's blade.
The crimson-eyed boy came to the tall grey fence yet again, climbing up it with ease and jumping down, Kai made his way slowly to the rear entrance to the building. Rei shot off at a sprint down the alley, just catching a sight of Kai jump off the fence at the other end. The cat like blader came to the fence, quietly climbing halfway and peering over the top, his eyes instantly locked on Kai walking round the back of the battered building.
"Why's he going in there?" Rei asked himself as he jumped down and made his way over to where Kai was going.
With swift, sly movements Rei snuck up behind Kai and peaked round the corner to see where he went. His golden eyes watched his love enter through an old metal door Rei quickly followed him inside. Once in, Rei ducked down behind a pile of wooden crates and watched what Kai was doing.
"JOSUKE!" Kai's strong voice echoed through the building as he stood waiting for a reply, but no one answered, "JOSUKE!" he called again.
A crude laugh began to bounce around the room, it sounded like it was coming from all over, but soon an outline of a hooded figure emerged from the shadows, a sinister smirk across his face.
"Kai, Kai, Kai... done the job already? I'm impressed," the man pulled his hood down and stared at Kai.
"No I haven't done it... and I don't plan to either," Kai held his penknife tight behind his back, and stared at Josuke wide eyed.
"You don't plan to? Well then, looks like you don't get the money to pay your dear Voltaire back... I'll have to go do it myself."
Josuke went to walk past Kai, but he put his arm out in front of him, the knife glittering in his grip.
"You stay the fuck away from Rei Josuke, I swear... I'll kill you," Kai flicked his wrist up so the tip of the blade was just skimming Josuke's shoulder.
"Do you have the guts to do something like that Kai," his eyes began to glow evilly, "Whereas me... well, I've done it before so I can do it again." He began to walk forward, forcing Kai to move back against the wall, and pulling out a long dagger from his belt, and began stroking Kai's cheek with the flat side of the blade, then running the tip down his throat.
"How do you know, what I've got the guts to do?" even though he was pinned against a wall, and had a knife at his throat, Kai still remained strong, and calm.
Meanwhile, Rei watched with shock filled eyes as he saw his Kai being pushed back into the wall and being threatened with a knife. 'What am I supposed to do?' he asked himself, he didn't want to reveal himself, and then Kai would know he was following him.
"Cause I know you too well Kai, ever since you came to work for us, beating people for blades was too easy for you, so I sent you out to go steal them and even that, you proved it was too easy..."
"Yeah well... I can do a lot," Kai looked at Josuke directly in the eyes as crimson met chocolate.
Rei listened, feeling more and more hurt as he found out what Kai had been doing, 'There has to be a reason for it... he wouldn't just go and it for fun... would he?' Rei asked himself, as he stood silently behind the crates.
"But now Kai-kun... I have your weakness," Josuke put his face uncomfortably close to Kai's.
"I don't have a weakness," Kai bit back, putting his hand in front of his face, and pushing Josuke back.
"Oh... I think you do Kai..." he glared at him evilly, bringing his lips within an inch from Kai's, "...Rei..."
Kai skipped a breath as he spoke the name, and swallowed hard. Then without warning, Josuke leaned forward pressing his lips on Kai's.
Rei stared at Kai being kissed by someone else, his heart felt like it was being ripped in half, "Kai..." he whispered.
Kai put his hands on Josuke's shoulders and pushed him back, wrenching their lips apart, he wiped his mouth.
"What... don't you like it Kai? Is it not as good as Rei?" Kai saw a flicker in Josuke's eyes, he knew he was about to do something, but didn't move out of the way quickly enough. Kai soon found himself off the ground, pinned up the wall by Josuke's tight, painful grip around his neck.
Kai made the distressing sound someone makes when they are beginning to run out of air. Dropping his knife instantly, trying to pull Josuke off of him. His feet going flat against the wall, and knees bending, trying hard to put his weight on something, but failing so badly.
"Argh!" Kai choked in pain as he felt the air being forced out of him, his hands clutched around Josuke's attempting to loosen his grip.
"You don't look like your enjoying that too much Kai... but if you say you'll get Rei's blade, then I'll let you go," Josuke's voice sounded like he was loving every minute of Kai's suffering, "So... you gonna do it?"
Kai nodded slightly.
"Answer me!" Josuke squashed his hand around Kai's throat harder, making it pretty much impossible for him to even say 'yes'.
Kai's body jerked from the lack of air, a tint of blue could be seen in his lips.
Rei stared at Kai, he wanted to help so much, but it was like his feet were glued to the ground making him watch his love suffer so much, "Kai..." he muttered, tears almost forming at his eyes.
The faint sound of voices picked up from the room on the other side of the building. One voice was a female the other was male. The door slowly creaked open to reveal Aiyko and Shiru as they walked in.
Their conversation quickly ended as they saw what was going on.
"Josuke! Kai!" Aiyko yelled as she ran over to the others, Shiru right behind her.
Aiyko ducked between Kai and Josuke, putting up one knee so Kai could rest his weight on it, while Shiru pulled out his gun and pressed it against the back of Josuke's head.
"Josuke drop him now!" ordered Aiyko.
Kai felt his grip loosen and he fell to the floor, gagging for air. Aiyko put her arms round Kai, holding him in an up right position, stroking her hands through his hair.
Shiru still held his gun out at Josuke, as he turned round to face him, the cold metal very close to Josuke's forehead.
"I thought you hated Kai Shiru?"
"I don't hate him you baka! I just envy him, I wouldn't let you murder his skill!" Shiru snapped back.
"Oh, how honourable," Josuke muttered, only to get rammed in the head by his gun.
"Ay it just," Shiru bit back.
"What the fuck do you think you were doing to him?" demanded Aiyko, as Kai rested his head on her shoulder, letting the air come back into his lungs.
Josuke stayed silent.
"JOSUKE!" Shiru yelled, pushing the gun hard into his forehead, Josuke frowned at Shiru.
"He... he refused to do a job."
Rei had edged round to the other side of the crates to get a better look at what was going on, his golden orbs locked on Kai, making sure he was ok with Aiyko. His heart filled with anger and hate towards Josuke, but he was ever grateful to Shiru and Aiyko, "Thank you," he whispered silently.
"That's what this is all about?!" yelled Aiyko as she held Kai gently.
"Who cares if he said he wasn't gonna do a job you baka! You don't kill him for it!" Shiru walked his gun down Josuke's cheeks, then aimed it up under his chin, "Your disgusting Josuke, we believed you when those rumours that you killed that blader were going round, we believed that you didn't," he pushed the gun up harder, "But now you've just proved that your nothing but a vile, snake of a killer... I could so easily pull the trigger right this second."
"Go on then Shiru... be a man... I dare you," Josuke smirked, not bothered that he could die at any second.
Shiru's voice and eyes were over flowing with anger, Kai looked up at him, "Shiru... don't sink... to his level."
"Your right Kai..." Shiru pulled the catch on top of the gun and smirked, "Out..."
"Excuse me?" Josuke was puzzled, and so were Aiyko and Kai.
"Out... leave, don't even think about coming back... Boss," Shiru sneered at Josuke, and removed the gun from under his chin.
"You can't just get rid of me that easily," he replied, brushing himself off, while Aiyko hugged Kai tight, keeping him sat up so it would be easier to breathe.
"You willing to bet your life on that?" Shiru smirked with a cold glint in his eyes, and then with one swift movement and a flick of his wrist, the mind shattering sound of gunshot filled the room, followed by everyone clamping their eyes shut. Only to open them to see Josuke on the floor clutching his leg, his hands soaked in cherry coloured blood.
"I said... get out," Shiru glared at Josuke, flicking the catch again and aiming the gun at his other leg.
"Alright alright! I'll go... but hear me out Kai... you'll be seeing me again," Josuke scowled at Kai, his dark brown eyes glowing with a thirst for revenge.
Josuke stumbled to his feet, staggering at every step he took towards the door, leaving a trail of ruby red blood behind him. He took one last look over his shoulder at the others, his eyes still staring with a sinister glow. Josuke yanked the metal door open and stepped outside, clutching his leg, the door blowing out of his grip in the wind and slamming behind him.

Chapter 5 - I Want The Truth... And I Want It Now
Kai put his shirt collar up to hide the bite, but the thought of Rei seeing it haunted his mind. What would he say?

He lay, staring at his captain's pale face. Rei liked Kai in the mornings without his painted face; to him he looked like a whole new person, innocent and calm. It was like the real Kai had surfaced, but only for his eyes to see, to everyone else, Kai was the strong, emotionless blader who feared no one and nothing.
Rei softly stroked Kai's face, his fingers sliding across is smooth silky skin. Thoughts about last night entered his mind, causing a slight smirk to appear on his face. The pleasurable feeling that went through him would never leave his memory as long as he lived.
His tanned finger slipped under Kai's eye causing his captain to wake suddenly.
"Oh... Kai I'm so sorry!"
Kai blinked his crimson eyes to focus, then looked over at the pleading Rei. A playful smile drifted onto his face as he tackled Rei down, pinning his wrists and straddled his waist.
"Don't even bother waking me up again, you hear me?" Kai ordered, his eyes glowing, but his voice still slightly sleepy.
"I defiantly heard you last night... and I suspect so did everyone else," Rei smirked.
"Well for your sake, you better hope they didn't or you won't be getting any off me... ever!" Kai smirked just as sinister back at Rei.
"I'll be hoping for a miracle then... now get off me I want to go in the shower," Rei tried to push Kai off, but Kai was too strong.
"Make me," Kai playfully stuck out his tongue, which took Rei by surprise at first, but then realised that he must feel secure enough to play around with him.
"Come on Kai-koi, I have to get ready to start breakfast," he put on an innocent smile,
"It's Tyson's house, let him do it,"
"He'd eat it before we even got near it... please," Kai sighed as he climbed off Rei and began to get dressed.
Rei got up, stretching his arms and walked into the bathroom.
Pulling on some jeans, a polo-neck jumper and his shoes Kai got up, ripped a piece of paper out of Rei's notebook and began to scribble down words.
Rei-koi, im going out, duno when I'll be back... around lunch or maybe tonight... love you x
He folded the note and placed it in the middle of the bed so Rei would notice it, then left the room and walked downstairs to the front door, picking up his penknife as he went.
Kai quietly tiptoed through the kitchen then into the living room, to be greeted by Kenny sitting at his laptop. Kai froze in his tracks hoping he hadn't been noticed.
"Your up early Kai,"
"Hmm..." he smirked at Kenny,
"Had fun last night didn't you?" Kenny peered over the screen at Kai, a telltale look in his eyes.
"Shit... Look Kenny about that-"
"Don't worry Kai, your secret's safe with me... and before you ask... no one else heard," he winked at his captain,
"Thanks Kenny..." replied Kai trying to hide his blushing face, "...and if Rei... comes down can you make sure he found the note I left him?"
"Sure thing," Kenny nodded as Kai walked out of the door into the bitter outside. The brown haired boy watched Kai walk through the alleyway through the window, passing it off as not his business, Kenny got back to work.
Upstairs, Rei stepped out from his steaming shower and wrapped a towel round his waist. He rubbed his soaking hair with another towel, hung it on the radiator, and then stepped into the bedroom.
"Kai-koi what do you w-" He looked around; noticing Kai wasn't there, "Kai?" his eyes scanned the room, and spotted the note on the bed.
With a quick pace Rei took the note and read it out loud... his eyes widened and he screwed up the note throwing it to the side.
"Damn you Kai." Rei cursed as he pulled on some baggy jeans and a Chinese shirt, a coiling dragon swirling round the back. He pulled back his hair, quickly wrapping the usual white ribbon around the lower part, and leaving the front to hang perfectly around his face.
Rei ran down the stairs, tripping at the last step, he stumbled through the door and into the kitchen. Regaining his balance, Rei made his way through to the living room, and like Kai before him, was greeted by Kenny.
"Aren't I popular today?" Kenny teased,
"What you mean?" Rei asked,
"You're up and about already and Kai just came down... Oh and did you get the note?"
"Yeah I got it... Do you know where he went?" asked Rei.
"Umm... yeah, he went down that alley," Kenny pointed out the window to show Rei.
"Thanks Kenny-kun!" Rei called as he dashed through the front door.
"Um... bye," Kenny sighed and turned his attention back to Dizzi.
Meanwhile, Kai was walking down the dully-lit alley, his hands in his pockets, tightly gripping his penknife. He walked slowly wondering what he was going to say to Josuke. Not knowing exactly why he came, except to tell him that he wasn't going to go through with taking Rei's blade.
The crimson-eyed boy came to the tall grey fence yet again, climbing up it with ease and jumping down, Kai made his way slowly to the rear entrance to the building. Rei shot off at a sprint down the alley, just catching a sight of Kai jump off the fence at the other end. The cat like blader came to the fence, quietly climbing halfway and peering over the top, his eyes instantly locked on Kai walking round the back of the battered building.
"Why's he going in there?" Rei asked himself as he jumped down and made his way over to where Kai was going.
With swift, sly movements Rei snuck up behind Kai and peaked round the corner to see where he went. His golden eyes watched his love enter through an old metal door Rei quickly followed him inside. Once in, Rei ducked down behind a pile of wooden crates and watched what Kai was doing.
"JOSUKE!" Kai's strong voice echoed through the building as he stood waiting for a reply, but no one answered, "JOSUKE!" he called again.
A crude laugh began to bounce around the room, it sounded like it was coming from all over, but soon an outline of a hooded figure emerged from the shadows, a sinister smirk across his face.
"Kai, Kai, Kai... done the job already? I'm impressed," the man pulled his hood down and stared at Kai.
"No I haven't done it... and I don't plan to either," Kai held his penknife tight behind his back, and stared at Josuke wide eyed.
"You don't plan to? Well then, looks like you don't get the money to pay your dear Voltaire back... I'll have to go do it myself."
Josuke went to walk past Kai, but he put his arm out in front of him, the knife glittering in his grip.
"You stay the fuck away from Rei Josuke, I swear... I'll kill you," Kai flicked his wrist up so the tip of the blade was just skimming Josuke's shoulder.
"Do you have the guts to do something like that Kai," his eyes began to glow evilly, "Whereas me... well, I've done it before so I can do it again." He began to walk forward, forcing Kai to move back against the wall, and pulling out a long dagger from his belt, and began stroking Kai's cheek with the flat side of the blade, then running the tip down his throat.
"How do you know, what I've got the guts to do?" even though he was pinned against a wall, and had a knife at his throat, Kai still remained strong, and calm.
Meanwhile, Rei watched with shock filled eyes as he saw his Kai being pushed back into the wall and being threatened with a knife. 'What am I supposed to do?' he asked himself, he didn't want to reveal himself, and then Kai would know he was following him.
"Cause I know you too well Kai, ever since you came to work for us, beating people for blades was too easy for you, so I sent you out to go steal them and even that, you proved it was too easy..."
"Yeah well... I can do a lot," Kai looked at Josuke directly in the eyes as crimson met chocolate.
Rei listened, feeling more and more hurt as he found out what Kai had been doing, 'There has to be a reason for it... he wouldn't just go and it for fun... would he?' Rei asked himself, as he stood silently behind the crates.
"But now Kai-kun... I have your weakness," Josuke put his face uncomfortably close to Kai's.
"I don't have a weakness," Kai bit back, putting his hand in front of his face, and pushing Josuke back.
"Oh... I think you do Kai..." he glared at him evilly, bringing his lips within an inch from Kai's, "...Rei..."
Kai skipped a breath as he spoke the name, and swallowed hard. Then without warning, Josuke leaned forward pressing his lips on Kai's.
Rei stared at Kai being kissed by someone else, his heart felt like it was being ripped in half, "Kai..." he whispered.
Kai put his hands on Josuke's shoulders and pushed him back, wrenching their lips apart, he wiped his mouth.
"What... don't you like it Kai? Is it not as good as Rei?" Kai saw a flicker in Josuke's eyes, he knew he was about to do something, but didn't move out of the way quickly enough. Kai soon found himself off the ground, pinned up the wall by Josuke's tight, painful grip around his neck.
Kai made the distressing sound someone makes when they are beginning to run out of air. Dropping his knife instantly, trying to pull Josuke off of him. His feet going flat against the wall, and knees bending, trying hard to put his weight on something, but failing so badly.
"Argh!" Kai choked in pain as he felt the air being forced out of him, his hands clutched around Josuke's attempting to loosen his grip.
"You don't look like your enjoying that too much Kai... but if you say you'll get Rei's blade, then I'll let you go," Josuke's voice sounded like he was loving every minute of Kai's suffering, "So... you gonna do it?"
Kai nodded slightly.
"Answer me!" Josuke squashed his hand around Kai's throat harder, making it pretty much impossible for him to even say 'yes'.
Kai's body jerked from the lack of air, a tint of blue could be seen in his lips.
Rei stared at Kai, he wanted to help so much, but it was like his feet were glued to the ground making him watch his love suffer so much, "Kai..." he muttered, tears almost forming at his eyes.
The faint sound of voices picked up from the room on the other side of the building. One voice was a female the other was male. The door slowly creaked open to reveal Aiyko and Shiru as they walked in.
Their conversation quickly ended as they saw what was going on.
"Josuke! Kai!" Aiyko yelled as she ran over to the others, Shiru right behind her.
Aiyko ducked between Kai and Josuke, putting up one knee so Kai could rest his weight on it, while Shiru pulled out his gun and pressed it against the back of Josuke's head.
"Josuke drop him now!" ordered Aiyko.
Kai felt his grip loosen and he fell to the floor, gagging for air. Aiyko put her arms round Kai, holding him in an up right position, stroking her hands through his hair.
Shiru still held his gun out at Josuke, as he turned round to face him, the cold metal very close to Josuke's forehead.
"I thought you hated Kai Shiru?"
"I don't hate him you baka! I just envy him, I wouldn't let you murder his skill!" Shiru snapped back.
"Oh, how honourable," Josuke muttered, only to get rammed in the head by his gun.
"Ay it just," Shiru bit back.
"What the fuck do you think you were doing to him?" demanded Aiyko, as Kai rested his head on her shoulder, letting the air come back into his lungs.
Josuke stayed silent.
"JOSUKE!" Shiru yelled, pushing the gun hard into his forehead, Josuke frowned at Shiru.
"He... he refused to do a job."
Rei had edged round to the other side of the crates to get a better look at what was going on, his golden orbs locked on Kai, making sure he was ok with Aiyko. His heart filled with anger and hate towards Josuke, but he was ever grateful to Shiru and Aiyko, "Thank you," he whispered silently.
"That's what this is all about?!" yelled Aiyko as she held Kai gently.
"Who cares if he said he wasn't gonna do a job you baka! You don't kill him for it!" Shiru walked his gun down Josuke's cheeks, then aimed it up under his chin, "Your disgusting Josuke, we believed you when those rumours that you killed that blader were going round, we believed that you didn't," he pushed the gun up harder, "But now you've just proved that your nothing but a vile, snake of a killer... I could so easily pull the trigger right this second."
"Go on then Shiru... be a man... I dare you," Josuke smirked, not bothered that he could die at any second.
Shiru's voice and eyes were over flowing with anger, Kai looked up at him, "Shiru... don't sink... to his level."
"Your right Kai..." Shiru pulled the catch on top of the gun and smirked, "Out..."
"Excuse me?" Josuke was puzzled, and so were Aiyko and Kai.
"Out... leave, don't even think about coming back... Boss," Shiru sneered at Josuke, and removed the gun from under his chin.
"You can't just get rid of me that easily," he replied, brushing himself off, while Aiyko hugged Kai tight, keeping him sat up so it would be easier to breathe.
"You willing to bet your life on that?" Shiru smirked with a cold glint in his eyes, and then with one swift movement and a flick of his wrist, the mind shattering sound of gunshot filled the room, followed by everyone clamping their eyes shut. Only to open them to see Josuke on the floor clutching his leg, his hands soaked in cherry coloured blood.
"I said... get out," Shiru glared at Josuke, flicking the catch again and aiming the gun at his other leg.
"Alright alright! I'll go... but hear me out Kai... you'll be seeing me again," Josuke scowled at Kai, his dark brown eyes glowing with a thirst for revenge.
Josuke stumbled to his feet, staggering at every step he took towards the door, leaving a trail of ruby red blood behind him. He took one last look over his shoulder at the others, his eyes still staring with a sinister glow. Josuke yanked the metal door open and stepped outside, clutching his leg, the door blowing out of his grip in the wind and slamming behind him.
