The Truth Chapter 3: It Clicks

(Kai)

I cant believe that I actually told Rei that I love him. What was I thinking? And why would father and grandfather do something like what they did. All this is running though my head as I watch them they re-gag Rei and take him and me away to our cell. I arrived first. Good, I don't think that I can face Rei yet. I sit in a corner of the small room to think about what just happened. Would Rei return my feelings? Just then the door opened again. I saw Rei being literally thrown in the room. My heart races knowing how it feels to have that done to you. Once the door closes I race over to him and start undoing the binds. I quickly take off the gag that was keeping my love from talking. With the gag off I could hear him trying to catch his breath. I notice that he is not looking at me. Once all the binds were off Rei sits up rubbing his wrists.

"Did you mean what you said?" the raven-haired boy asked still rubbing his wrists. I was shocked.

"Of course I did." I replied. He stops playing with his wrists. The cat- like blader turned around to face me.

"You really meant it?" he asked again in total shock. He then did something that I would never suspect he would do to me. Rei leaned over and pulled me into a deep kiss. When we finally broke apart we were both gasping for breath. I just stared at Rei.

"I'm so sorry Kai. I didn't mean-" Rei started but I pulled him close to me and kissed him once more. After that long passionate kiss he looked up at me and said

"Oh Kai I'm so sorry about your mother." I gave him a confused look. He saw my confusion and explained.

"The walls are very thin. I could hear every thing that was said before they sent me in" Rei confessed. I turned away ashamed that the other blader had to hear that. I felt soft hands on my cheek turning my head to face Rei. "Tell me Kai. Tell me every thing".

(Hoksai)

I have just told my so-called son my plan. He is very pised off at me. So know I'm here with my father figuring what to do with them.

"Wait, son I get it now" Volitare suddenly says. I jump because he has been silent for the past 20 minutes.

"What is it father?" I ask impatiently.

"Do you remember the last thing Kai said to Rei?" came the response.

"Yeah he said 'I have you'" I replied not getting where this was going. Then the light dawns over my head (A/N: the light is very dull and Hoksai is very slow. I mean slow). Kai was in love with Rei. "This is perfect. We can torture Kai through Rei! He he this will be so much fun" I shout.

"Yes my son we can. Then Kai will break sooner than we thought." Volitare replied to me.

(Rei)

I listen to Kai talk about his past. He had it very rough.

"I probably wouldn't be here right now if my mother wasn't there to protect me from my father. I remember" Kai said closing his eyes," One time I remember, father came home drunk and started beating on me. Then mother walked in the room to try and stop him. But he just threw her across the room and she hit the wall. He soon forgot about me and turned all of his anger on mother. I could not see her being beaten because of me. I ended up going over to my father and slugging him in the face." I stare in shock at my love. How could any one beat their child like that then turn on their wife? No wonder Kai was so cold and didn't like any one touching him. I reached my hand out and touched his shoulder to see if he would let me. Good, Kai didn't flinch. As my soft, shaking fingers touched his bare shoulder I could feel him tension.

"Why are you shaking Rei?" the other blader asked obviously telling that I was shaking.

"Because I nervous. You usually don't let people touch you. So I was seeing if I could." My voice said shakily.

"There is no need to be nervous my dear Rei. I love you and I would never let those bastards hurt you." Kai said taking hold of my hand and tracing the patterns in my skin.

"But Kai" I started, " They are your family. Yeah they may be messed up but they are your father and grandfather. Don't you still love them?"

"First of all Rei, the only person I love is you. And second of all yes they happen to be related to me. But in reality they just take up breathing room." Kai said to me laughing slightly to himself. At this statement I laughed. The first time I laughed since we came here. Kai starts fumbling with the band holding my hair up.

"What are you doing to my hair?" I ask eyeing him carefully.

"Nothing. I just wanted to see you with your hair down because when we share a room you have it up in the morning so I cant see what you look like." Kai uttered concentrating on what he was doing. I reached back to help him because I have been doing it for years. Once down Kai eyes widen in shock.

"What is it. I know you don't like it" I pouted starting to put it up. I felt strong arms pulling mine from what I was doing. I look up to see Kai.

"No I like it down. Please leave it" Kai pleaded. Whoa, Kai said please! That must mean he really likes it down.

"Ok. I will if you want me to leave it down then I will". As I said this Kai's face lit up. I move my hands away from my head. Kai's hands take the place of mine and starts running his fingers through my raven hair. Kai looks me in the eyes. For some strange reason I turned away blushing.

"Why did you turn away from me Rei?" I hear Kai's strong voice ask. I turn back around to meet Kai's cold crimson eyes.

"I don't know. It was an automatic thing" I replied. Kai nodded his head indicating that he understood. He then kissed me gently on the cheek.

"We should get some sleep. Who knows what they will do to us tomorrow." Kai said lying on the floor. I nod my head and lay down next to him. I feel strong arms pull me closer to him as I fall asleep.
