Chapter 7 - Taken
That days training hadn't been as intense as Kai usually makes it, ending it a while before supper, for the simple reason that Kai had way too much on his mind. To make matters just that little bit worse Tyson didn't shut up all day, questioning his captain if there was anything wrong with him.
"You suuuure there isn't anything wrong Kai? I mean, not as if Im complaining or anything its just that y-"
"Shut the fuck up Tyson!" Rei's loud voice made everyone freeze, and stopped Tyson in mid-moan, "Geez, get over it ok..." the feline blader shook his head and walked past the others and into the house, Drigger tight in his grip, leaving Tyson in total confusion. "He's just pissed you beat him that's all Tyson," Max said as he put an arm round Tyson happily smiling at him.
"He never usually is..." Tyson replied sighing.
Kai had watched the little incident closely and knew something was wrong, not just the fact that Tyson had won him in a meaningless battle.
"That's it for today. Go, do what you want..." said Kai as he slowly went after Rei looking down at the floor, leaving an amazed Max and Tyson skipping around in circles happy for all his free time.
It teased and taunted the back of his mind that he knew perfectly well why Kai had been acting strange. He knew it was from Josuke and he was still tired from that, but something about the way his captain moved and spoke today made Rei think there was something else bothering him, but what that was... he didn't know.
Kai stood outside Rei's room, listening to the silence from behind the door. Interrupted by the slight creaking sound from Rei's wooden bed. Smirking Kai knocked the door lightly.
"Go away..." said the voice from inside.
"Fine then... I'll go," said Kai, extra loud so Rei knew whom it was, and stamped the floor as if he was walking away.
Rei got up suddenly and ran to the door, swinging it open, "Kai wait! I di- " he stopped suddenly when he came face to face with a smirking Kai leaning in the doorway, "That was sly..." he said pouting.
"Planned to..." Kai said sliding past Rei, letting his hand carelessly rub past his upper leg, causing Rei to tense slightly at the unexpected attention, and Kai smirking at his response.
Shaking his head slightly Rei flicked his bangs from his eyes and let out a deep breath as he followed Kai into his room, shutting the door tightly behind him.
The smirk across Kai's face didn't fade the slightest bit as he made his way over to the bed and sat down, his eyes locked on Rei who was leaning against the wall opposite him.
"What I done this time?" Rei said sarcastically.
"Always assume you've done something when I come round? Aren't I allowed to just come and see how you are, spend some time with you?" the captain replied cocking his head.
"Well... yeah, but.... there has to be something up," Rei smirked, "its obvious from the look in your eyes that I've done something."
Kai sighed, "That supposed to charm me?"
"Did it work?"
"No... But anyway... I actually did come here to see if you were ok after you flippin' at Tyson out there," Kai said, the smirk across his face, softening into a gentle smile.
Rei pouted slightly and stared at the floor, "Oh... about that... it was... just annoying me with all his moaning and questioning, that's all Kai- sama."
"And... There's something else apart from that isn't there?" Kai replied.
"No... Honest..." his golden eyes flickered, making it even more less convincing to Kai.
"Rei-kun... tell me what's bothering you... please."
Kai got to his feet and slowly made his way over to Rei, the childish smirk reappearing causing Rei to swallow hard as his body tensed.
"Now I don't believe a word of it..." Kai said, stopping an inch from Rei, lifting and holding up his chin with his fingers.
"Why's that?" Rei asked quietly, his forehead shimmering with a thin layer of sweat.
"Look at you... almost as if you're afraid of me, any other time and you'd be all over me by now... especially with me standing this close," he looked at him seductively, his eyes filled with lust.
"I... well you see... I went..." Rei struggled to finish his sentence with his love so close, could he really bare to tell Kai what was really bugging him? Tell him he didn't trust him and followed him? He couldn't even think about doing it, and with Kai's soft breathing against his skin, his eyes locking onto the burns around his throat from Josuke and his crimson eyes shining, didn't at all help.
"Say it..." Kai stepped forward pinning Rei up against the wall, wrapping his arms round his waist, and gently nibbling his neck, dominating him as well as edging him on to speak.
Rei let out an unexpected moan of pleasure, biting his lip to try and control it. He put his hands on Kai's shoulders and pushed him back from his neck, shimmering gold merging with ruby red.
"What's wrong?"
"How am I supposed to talk with you connected to me?" Rei said smirking, as he led Kai over to the bed and sat down.
The tall blader sat with his elbows resting on his knees, and looking up at Rei, "Well... I'm listening..."
"Listen Kai... I'm not going to lie to you... but before I tell you, you have to promise me you won't leave me or hate me for what I've done," Rei said very seriously, staring down at the floor.
"Rei-koi, I'd never hate or leave you... it cant be that bad can it?"
"It depends... but I'm just gonna tell you everything, please don't talk until I've said everything ok?"
Kai nodded.For the next 30 minutes, Rei told Kai everything. How he'd ignored the note and asked Kenny where he went, how he followed him to the building, how he saw him and Josuke arguing, how he watched helplessly Josuke strangling him, and how he left without speaking at all, and not once did Kai say a word, the only sign of life in him was the shock and heart brake building up in his eyes.
"Kai I'm so sorry forgive me please..." Rei pleaded quietly, but his only response was Kai burying his head in his knees, "... Kai, I'm sorry... and I totally understand if you hate me now."
Kai stayed silent as he listened to Rei speak, his mind echoing with thoughts such as 'does he know that Josuke could be coming for him?' and 'why didn't he trust me?' His eyes slowly blinked in the darkness created in his legs folded up from any light.
"Why didn't you trust me Rei?" he murmured, his voice weak.
"I... I don't know... I was worried about you Kai, seeing you with that love-bite on your neck made me think you were with someone else or you were getting hurt... but... I was stupid for following you... I'm sorry..." Rei turned his back to Kai, ashamed to look at his lover in those mahogany coloured eyes, as a guilty regretful feeling galloped over him like a free roaming horse.
"How much did you hear?" asked the pain filled blader, staring at the floor.
"Not much... as soon as you were ok with... er, oh their names... Aiyko and the other one... and Josuke had left... I went... please don't hate me..."
Kai's eyes slowly shut, he knew now that Rei hadn't heard about Josuke killing Aiyko's brother, and that he would most likely go after himself or Rei.
Kai sighed softly to himself while he lifted his head up and locked his eyes on his golden-eyed lover, "I'd never hate you Rei-koi," he said as he took Rei in his arms in a loving embrace.
"Thank you..." Rei whispered, returning the hug, letting out a sigh of relief that Kai wasn't too upset with him.The couple stayed in each other's arms for a while before Rei pulled away.
"I have to go get supper ready Kai-koi..." he whispered softly, Kai gently stroking his face.
"Do you have to? I mean... we've just made up... can't Tyson or his Grandpa do it?" Kai replied putting on puppy dog eyes and caressing his neck gently with his pale pink lips.
Rei bit his lower lip slightly in between words, "Kai... I have... too... please," a tiny moan of pleasure escaped him, showing Kai his affection wasn't going un-noticed.
Kai sighed as he kissed his neck one last time and sat up straight, "Ok then... I'll help you out," he said smiling softly, as he took Rei's hand and led him out of the bedroom to the kitchen downstairs. The feline blader constantly insisting that Kai didn't need to help him.
"Oh shut up I'm helping whether or not you like it... besides, I'll be bored without you to play with," Kai said, a seductive smirk across his painted face, causing Rei to giggle.
"Hehe suppose so..." he replied pulling out all the ingredients he needed for everyone's supper, "Chicken, mushrooms, noodles, bean sprouts and cel - " Rei pouted and sighed, "Damn it we're out of celery..." he said out loud, rolling his eyes as he stood up from the cupboard. "Tyson's gonna love this... I promised him a good supper..."
"No worries, I'll go run up the store and get some, it closes in 30 minutes so I got time," Kai instantly pulled on his jacket and lifting up his collar.
"But its nearly 4 blocks away Kai... you won't make it in time," Rei said rubbing the back of his head.
"Better get going hadn't I then?" he smirked giving Rei a quick tender kiss on the lips then jogging out the door and un-known to him, he was being watched by dull, chocolate eyes.
"What am I gonna do with him?" Rei asked him smirking as he went into the living room, awaiting the return of Tyson, Max, and Kenny... and of course, Kai.10 Minutes later the front door banged open, followed by the loud voices of Tyson and Max talking about the movie they had just seen.
"Oh my god that movie was brilliant! All the explosions!" Tyson beamed as he walked into the living room, "Hey Rei-kun! So where's my extra special supper, didn't eat a thing at the movies to save space for this!"
Max shoved his team-mate, "Liar... you got through 14 packets of gummi bears, 3 hot dogs, about 50 sodas, 7 ic-" Tyson covered his mouth, cutting him off.
"Like I said... absolutely nothing."
Rei laughed, "Sorry Tyson but we were all out of celery, but Kai's gone up the store to get s-"
CRASH!
Rei stopped speaking as a shattering bang echoed from the back room. All the bladers froze in their tracks, their eyes wide.
"What the fuck was that?" Rei whispered to the others.
"Duno... should we go 'n' see?" Tyson muttered Max and Rei nodded. "Guys wait! It could be anything!" Kenny shouted in a whisper.
"Well what we supposed to do? Wait for it to find us? I don't think so..." Max replied with a serious look on his face.
The Bladebreakers were about to go through the door into the back room, Tyson standing at the front of the fear-filled huddle when suddenly the door flung open revealing a cloaked man holding a gun.
"Shit! RUN!" Kenny yelled from the rear end of the group and ran as fast as he could back into the living room, grabbing the phone on his way.
Rei and Max span round and headed down the hallway, but they soon realised that Tyson was frozen in his tracks, staring up at the man.
"Tyson come the fuck on!" Max screamed at him.
The midnight-haired boy turned his head slightly to answer but no words managed to escape his mouth as the cloaked stranger smacked him hard round the side of his head with the gun, knocking him out cold, he collapsed into a heap on the floor.
"TYSON!" Max and Rei shouted together.
The man stepped over Tyson's motionless body and smirked at Max and Rei, aiming the gun at them.
"Fuck go!" Rei spun round and shoved Max to make him run down the corridor to the living room where Kenny was edging them on to get through the door. Gunshots were fired over their heads, missing them merely by an inch as they ran.
The two made it through the door and slammed it shut, both of them leaning up against it. Kenny frantically pressing the numbers on the phone as the door was being kicked and pushed by the intruder.
"Kenny we cant hold him!" Max bit his lip as he used all his strength to keep the stranger at bay.
"Oh man!" Kenny ran over to assist him and Rei, shoving it closed all of the bladers pressed their weight against the door.
But soon they were losing to the stronger one of them... and he was on the other side of the door. Within minutes the wooden door smashed open, throwing, Rei, Max and Kenny to the floor, and he stepped inside, pulling down his hood, revealing his piercing brown eyes.
Rei looked up from his back and elbows at the intruder before him, "JOSUKE!" he yelled out loud, his eyes widening with fear.
"Ha! Rei I presume?" Josuke smirked and held the gun out, aiming for Rei's head. He flicked his wrist signalling for the three teens to rise, and they all did without hesitation.
"What the fuck do you want?" Max scowled, not looking bothered that there was a gun in front of him.
"Revenge... Now you, blondie and four eyes sit your ass's down here, now!" Josuke ordered, but they didn't follow, "NOW! Or Rei here gets a bullet through his head!"
After hearing that the two instantly sat down on the floor, back to back and watched Josuke rip the cords from the curtains and use them to tie Max and Kenny together, rendering them useless.
"Now... your turn Rei." Josuke sneered and walked towards Rei, backing him against the wall, just like he had done with Kai. As he walked past the small coffee table, Josuke grabbed the lilac vase, emptied the contents and pinned Rei up the cherry coloured wall.
"Bet your little Kai didn't tell you he knew I'd be after you did he?" he scowled, gripping Rei's wrists painfully tight.
"Screw you!" Rei bit back.
"Ooooh feisty... Just like Kai... well who would expect less, I wouldn't think Kai would go around screwing some weakling."
"What?!" Max looked up shocked, "You and Kai?!" his fists clenched.
"Oh, I see you didn't tell them ay? Never mind though... saved you the trouble now didn't I?"
And then without any warning what so ever, Josuke smashed the vase over Rei's head, straight away sending him to the floor unconscious and a gaping wound across his temple. "REI NO!" Kenny screamed as he watched his team-mate fall to the ground, blood seeping from his head.
Josuke laughed hysterically as he bent down and picked up Rei, flinging his pale, lifeless body over his shoulder, "Well.... nice doing business lads... and when Kai finally gets back say Josuke popped round will ya?" he laughed again as he left through the door he had came, taking Rei with him.
"REI NO! BRING HIM BACK YOU SON OF A BITCH!" yelled Max as he struggled and kicked trying to get out of his binds.
"It's no use Max... he's taken Rei...."
