Faint
A/n: Hehe. late update again eh? Guess there's no use apologizing. again! Ah, what can I say, pisces' are generally lazy creatures lol, we love our relaxing days off. I won't delay any longer... however, thank you very much to everyone who has stuck with this fic and it's prequel, and to those who review, it's really great! Thank you! - Individual thank yous are at the end of the chapter ^_~
BY THE WAY: My friend tokikasurmari is writing some new fics that you all ought to check out, one in particular, a ReixKai fic. It should be out soon, can't wait to read it!
*~*~*
*()*()*()*
I can't believe he almost did that. I knew he was pissed, well because he messed up, but I don't really know how sorry he really is either. But seriously! He's NEVER attempted to hit me before, never. He was always so protective especially after that beybattle I had with Bryan so long ago. I just can't believe it. What's happening to us? I mean, now that I think of it, he started it all. He's the one who left, who abandoned me, and now something's driving him to get me back, but now he's trying to hurt me. Maybe I ought to just leave, that way I won't be caught in his obsession, maybe then he'll move on. I still love him, I know I do, and I think he loves me too, but something just isn't working. Maybe we're just not compatable. I just don't know.
It just doesn't feel like it did before. I knew for a fact that he loved me so much he would never even attempt to hurt me, though I believe he still loves me, I think it's more obsession than love, otherwise he'd let me go, let me be free. Or maybe he's so obsessed that he just can't let go. I don't know what to do anymore.
I felt the tears brimming in my eyes, 'This is not a time to cry,' I thought.
I padded my way down the stairs, taking note of the various sounds echoing throughout the house. It seems Tyson has run out of his favourite kids cereal. What a kid! I swear, so immature, but then, he's a good friend, so I suppose I tolerate him, not to mention his amusing outbursts.
Apparently Max is comforting his distraught friend, I can hear him bringing up spontanous ideas to allow the Japanese boy to temporary forget his immediate hunger. Laughing slightly, I shook my head and continued hobbling down the stairs. Crap! Forgot my crutches, but I certainly don't have any intention to return to that tense, and now, somewhat dangerous bedroom of mine.and Kai's unfortunatly. Think happier thoughts. Must keep up a believable front for the others.
When I stumbled into the room, holding on to various stable objects as I scrambled in, I was met with a teary-eyed Tyson, who seemed to be praying mourning the lost soul of his sugary cereal's former outter shell.
"Ah that cereal box lived a short life," Max said regrettably, hiding a small grin.
Tyson nodded and continued praying for it's lost soul to find it's own paradise. After which, he stood up, took Max's hand and declared they had to go on a shopping trip.
Tyson turned to me, "Hey Rei, how ya doing? Max and I are going shopping to get food, you wanna come?"
I smiled, "Yeah sure, why not?"
Then Max piped up, "Hey Rei, where're your crutches? I don't think you'll be able to get very far without them." By then, Tyson had gone into the hallway to find his shoes, I could hear him tossing various shoes out of the closet.
"Ehm. well I left them upstairs," I answered.
Then I heard Tyson call from the hallway, "By the way, where's the Sourpuss, Rei?"
I bit my lip, and said nonchalantly, "Ah upstairs still, I think he was meditating or something."
Max looked at me oddly, he suspected something, 'Just great,' I thought.
"Well you'd better go get your crutches then right?" Max said with a suspicious glance.
"Ehm. no, you know what? I think I'm cured, I don't need them," I replied unevenly. I wasn't going back in that room if I could help it, I'll even sleep on the couch if I have to.
"Rei, c'mon, what's the big deal? You obviously will not get very far without them, you have to get your crutches if you're coming," Max said objectively.
I looked down at my feet, hand still holding onto the counter. I didn't want to stay behind with Kai, who knew what he'd do? He almost hit me before, I mean, what's to stop him from doing something else harmful to me? Maybe he was just biding his time so he could beat me while everyone was gone! The thought made me shudder.
"Rei? Are you alright?" Max asked in concern.
"Yeah, I'm okay.. Could you just ..ehm.. get my crutches for me? Please!" I pleaded.
Max's raised an eyebrow, "Okay but, you're telling me what's going on as soon as we get a private conversation."
I nodded but was thankful anyway. 'Oh boy, this could be bad,' I thought.
Tyson walked into the room with a grin, holding out his shoes, "Found 'em."
"Great Tyson, I'll be right back 'kay? I'm just gonna get Rei's crutches for him, he forgot to get them," Max replied.
"Okay then."
I sat down at the table with a relieved sigh, and wondered how this thing would turn out. I mean now, I have to tell someone. I know I can trust him not to tell Tyson, but it's just, what'll he think of me now? I mean, he never knew I was 'different' before. I know he's not straight, so he probably won't be too judgemental, but still! It's nerve-wracking.
Minutes later, Tyson outside waiting, Max came down with a disturbed look on his pale features. I raised an eyebrow but he just shook his head, "Later," he muttered, and put a forced smile on as he handed me my crutches.
~~Later~~
It's been about an hour since we got to the store, I swear Tyson has to try everything! Right now I hate all those free sample stands, arg! But the thought makes me laugh, at least Max is here, and though I am supremely nervous about the upcoming 'private conversation', Tyson's lightheartedness and simple nature allows me to think of other things for the moment.
We had just sat down from walking around for the past hour, which relieved me greatly. My arms were rather tired, using crutches definitely builds your upper body strength, that's for sure (A/n: No kidding, been there, done that!).
Unfortunately Tyson had run off again, and I nearly got up with Max to grab him as he scurried off, until of course Max grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me back into my chair. I glanced at him, and he shook his head.
"Let him go, he'll be back. Actually, now I was thinking we could have that 'private conversation', since Tyson'll be occupied for awhile."
"Huh? How do you know?" I asked.
He just pointed across the way to where a gigantic cake was sitting in the window of some store.
"Ah."
"So ." He started.
"Okay, this is how I see things right now, alright Rei. You're obviously avoiding Kai for some reason or another, because you wouldn't normally forget something as important as your crutches at the moment, unless you wanted to leave a situation fast. As for Kai, well when I went into your room to get your crutches, he kind of looked at me, probably thinking I was you at first, with this extremely sympathetic and sorry look. So what I'm guessing is you two had some fight about something, am I getting warmer?"
I looked at my feet, "Yeah, sort of."
"What do you mean 'sort of'? Either I'm right or I'm wrong. C'mon Rei, what's the problem? You're not the only one who can give advice you know, even the most capable person needs some advice sometimes," Max said patiently.
I rubbed my temples and thought for a moment, he was right.
"I mean, you're right about the fight thing, but there's so much more to it than what you're seeing, which is only the tip of the ice berg. Umm .. Okay ..I'm just sort of going on instinct here, ahem.. What do you think of Tyson? I mean, how do you feel about him?"
His eyes widened, and he turned his head to cover what I figured was a blush.
"It's okay, I mean, I'm not going to be judgemental or anything," I reassured him.
"Ahh.. Well uh... I think I sort of like him ... as in 'like like' him," he said with a blush.
I felt a smile creep up on my lips, "I had a feeling you did, it didn't take much guessing."
He narrowed his eyebrows in confusion, "Then, why did you ask?"
It was my turn to blush. "Ehm.. It's sort of the same with Kai and me. 'Cept somewhat further than that."
Understanding dawned upon the blond haired boy's face, and he grinned. "I see."
But his smile turned to a frown when he saw the distraught look I gave him, "It ended awhile ago, when he left."
"Oh, I'm so sorry." "It's okay."
"But I still don't understand, I mean, I know you're probably upset the relationship has ended, but you can't avoid him forever you know," Max said.
"Well, you see, it didn't really end, well it kind of did, but it didn't. We still have feelings for each other, but I'm pretty ticked, as you probably figured, that he just left me like that, broken hearted. And now that he's come back, he seemed legitimately sorry, but I don't know if I can accept that just yet, I mean, is he really sorry? Or will he just leave again? I just don't know anymore. He slept beside me last night and everything was fine I guess, but it's like he took advantage thinking everything was forgiven, but it's not. Then this morning, I was really angry with him, and while I was getting ready, brushing my hair, he tried to help me. That's what he used to do when we were together, it was sooo nice." I drifted off.
Max smiled and nodded, "And?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, and then when I didn't let him brush my hair and pushed him away, he got angry and shoved me into the mirror. And then he went to do something I thought he would never do to me, I mean since that fight with Bryan, he's been so protective and all.. But this morning, he...he almost hit me. It scared the shit out of me, I mean look at him, you know what he could do to me?!" I said remembering how scared I felt at that moment.
Max's eyes were wide, and he shook his head. "Wow, I mean, this is you, and Kai.. Just I can't see that happening, Kai would never hurt his friends, especially you. He always did seem a lot closer and friendlier to you even before."
"I know, I think he liked me because I was one of the few people in this world who understood him. I don't know that I do anymore. It feels like everything is falling apart," I said stiffling a sniffle.
"It's okay Rei, we'll figure it out."
"And now, the thing is, yes I am appalled that he almost did that, but I still care for him, oh I love him so much. What does that say about me?"
Max smiled, "It just says you're very compassionate, and you don't give up on people even if they make mistakes. When I walked into the room, Kai looked like he was going to burst into tears, VERY strange for Kai, but that's what it looked like. Take some time, sleep in someone else's room tonight, 'kay?"
I nodded glumly, "I'm sleeping on the couch. Though, for the way he acted, he should be the one who should sleep on the couch! Sheesh."
Max grinned, "You're right, and when you're right you're right. Tyson and I will get him outta there for ya."
"Nah I'll do it," I said determined.

A/n: Well? Was it okay? I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible with all the ups and downs, aquaintances and friends all get involved. Plus I figured Rei needs some support in this, he's in shambles right now, poor neko-jin! Meh, why not eh? Sorry again for the late update, there will be more, just hold on. Thank you all for reading, and hopefully some reviews may come my way for this, one can only hope, THANK YOU ALL! I hope I got everyone's dedicated thank yous!
Lychee Fairy: Lol yes Kai's a kinky kinda guy eh? No prob about the review, anyone who writes deserves some advice and/or criticism. Thank you for the review! Muchly appreciated! ^_^
Hathor Sekhmet Strife: I'm special I get to live! Lol, yeah I know you're kidding, it's all in good fun. I honestly don't know about V-Force, I've seen a few episodes, and even tried to make a point of watching it everyday, but I just don't have the time. But honestly, I really don't like the V-Force eps. they ruined their beautiful colouring and character design!!!! * cries * It hurts my soul. Thank you thank you! Lol, compliments galore, it's so nice! ^_^ * blush * lol. By the way, I really like your member name, Egyptian eh? It's really cool! Thanks again for your review, talk to ya on the flip side!
Hiwatari Rei: I like your name too! Lol, to answer your review, I know it's very sad, but I have a thing for pain and angst, maybe I'm sadistic or something hehe. I didn't think 'Titanic' was that sad, well at first I made fun of it, celebrating when Jack dies (YAY!) lol jk jk, but I watched it last month and it actually made me sad, so yeah I can empathize with ya. Though it wasn't really every last human being on earth drowning, that's more like 'Water World' lol. Ahh but lovers that are kept apart, I think that their relationship grows more and they develop a better understanding of themselves, their lives and each other. Thanks for the review! ^_^
CRaZy NeKO-JiN: I am honoured lol, it's nice to know you're liking this, it gives it more meaning you know. Ooh a fellow angst lover, well obviously many other readers here enjoy it as well, but I'm just noting it for now, lol. This chapter was for you, as you requested more Rei POV ^_~ Lol, yeah LP! Thanks for the review!
SoulSister: Thank you so much! I really appreciate your review. I really like movies that make you think, with all those numerous and complex plotlines(okay maybe this story isn't that complex, but anyway), so I try to make my work as labrynth-like as I can. Thank you for the angst-plot compliment as well, I don't usually put a whole lot of thought into a story before hand, I usually lay out the first chapter, but the story kinda comes out on it's own, quite amazing actually. Thank you for your review! ^_^
OHMYYAOIGOD: So glad you like! Happy Christmas to you too, tho it's a little late now ^_^;; that's okay. Lol, oh and yes, I hope I fulfilled your request with updating another chapter. Thank you so much for your review!^_^
I luv Kai: Don't worry, Kai's currently very confused about things, and very sorry, I tell you. And don't worry, good stories don't end with ".and they broke up and everyone was sad." Trust me. Lol. Thank you so much for your review.
DragonBlade: Yeah Rei was a tad bit bitter, tho I believe he had every right to be, ya know. Hope this met your standards, thank you very much for your review! lone*phoenix1: Okay okay! Keep your hat and knickers on! Lol, I wrote this didn't I? I assure you, I will never leave a fanfic unfinished. well sometimes it'll take me awhile, but I always finish what I start. Thanks for your review!
Ghetto fabulous: Hey friend! Lol, wow, I feel so special! I'm getting death threats for my work now!!! Lol, you're the second person! No wonder all those famous people are murdered, people who send them threats actually go through with it. Thank you tho. Lol, you know they have re-hab for ax murderers with killing spree obsessions lol jk jk. And I know you're kidding, chill. So it was YOU who stol e my plastic mechetti?! I'll kill you! Hehe.jk jk. Ooooh Linkin Park concert in Toronto rocked, saw it last Saturday! So yes, they do rock lol. Oh and Kai's not a killer, just in need of therapy. Lol, but I'm glad you had some type of reaction to the scene, it's nice to know I've created something that realistic seeming, actually I wrote that part really fast, like I was extremely nervous or something, very strange. And aye, I like to connect with my readers, because I'm their readers too, so in effect we're all friends with something in common. Glad you like! Thanks for your review!
Lady Snowblossom: Thank you so much, I really do try to capture their emotions as best I can, kind of refering back to myself and how I would feel and react in their situation. Unrealistic, in my situation, but works out very well in theirs. It does seem like they have lost the best thing that happened to them, I mean, Kai opened up because of Rei, and Rei had somebody to love because of Kai. He's just a loving person who needs to love (Rei that is), at least that's how I see it. Thank you so much for you review!
Shaka Dragomir Nocturnus: Thank you very much, thanks for your review! Hope I updated soon enough lol.
Insane Pluto: I know what you mean, you just wanna grab that person, or hire a muse to do it for you, to nag and nag until they finish their great story lol. And I know what you mean about never having time to work on your fics, I'm in grade 11 and I'm really busy nowadays, with working, plus lessons, courses and homework. Luckily tho, it's exam week and I had both my exams on Tuesday. I sympathize for those who aren't as lucky as I got. Thank you very much for your review! Hope you get to update your fics soon! ^_^
Kara the Half Wolf: I know it's been a long while since I've updated, very sorry about that. It's sad that beautiful things like such a compatable relationship end, I agree, but hey, conflict, angst and plot, are all very good friends lol. Of course, Kai can have Rei, that's just the way I see it, but even when things are down and don't look good for the good side, the most unlikely of things occur, and though not in real life usually, but in stories, things have a way of coming out for the better, don't worry, they haven't forsaken each other. Lol, you don't have to beg either, chill! Thanks so much for your review! Hope this is good for your standards. ^_^
A/n: Hehe. late update again eh? Guess there's no use apologizing. again! Ah, what can I say, pisces' are generally lazy creatures lol, we love our relaxing days off. I won't delay any longer... however, thank you very much to everyone who has stuck with this fic and it's prequel, and to those who review, it's really great! Thank you! - Individual thank yous are at the end of the chapter ^_~
BY THE WAY: My friend tokikasurmari is writing some new fics that you all ought to check out, one in particular, a ReixKai fic. It should be out soon, can't wait to read it!

I can't believe he almost did that. I knew he was pissed, well because he messed up, but I don't really know how sorry he really is either. But seriously! He's NEVER attempted to hit me before, never. He was always so protective especially after that beybattle I had with Bryan so long ago. I just can't believe it. What's happening to us?

Maybe I ought to just leave, that way I won't be caught in his obsession, maybe then he'll move on. I still love him, I know I do, and I think he loves me too, but something just isn't working. Maybe we're just not compatable. I just don't know.
It just doesn't feel like it did before. I knew for a fact that he loved me so much he would never even attempt to hurt me, though I believe he still loves me, I think it's more obsession than love, otherwise he'd let me go, let me be free. Or maybe he's so obsessed that he just can't let go. I don't know what to do anymore.
I felt the tears brimming in my eyes, 'This is not a time to cry,' I thought.

"Great Tyson, I'll be right back 'kay? I'm just gonna get Rei's crutches for him, he forgot to get them," Max replied.
"Okay then."
I sat down at the table with a relieved sigh, and wondered how this thing would turn out. I mean now, I have to tell someone.

"Nah I'll do it," I said determined.

Lychee Fairy: Lol yes Kai's a kinky kinda guy eh? No prob about the review, anyone who writes deserves some advice and/or criticism. Thank you for the review! Muchly appreciated! ^_^
Hathor Sekhmet Strife: I'm special I get to live! Lol, yeah I know you're kidding, it's all in good fun. I honestly don't know about V-Force, I've seen a few episodes, and even tried to make a point of watching it everyday, but I just don't have the time. But honestly, I really don't like the V-Force eps. they ruined their beautiful colouring and character design!!!! * cries * It hurts my soul. Thank you thank you! Lol, compliments galore, it's so nice! ^_^ * blush * lol. By the way, I really like your member name, Egyptian eh? It's really cool! Thanks again for your review, talk to ya on the flip side!
Hiwatari Rei: I like your name too! Lol, to answer your review, I know it's very sad, but I have a thing for pain and angst, maybe I'm sadistic or something hehe. I didn't think 'Titanic' was that sad, well at first I made fun of it, celebrating when Jack dies (YAY!) lol jk jk, but I watched it last month and it actually made me sad, so yeah I can empathize with ya. Though it wasn't really every last human being on earth drowning, that's more like 'Water World' lol. Ahh but lovers that are kept apart, I think that their relationship grows more and they develop a better understanding of themselves, their lives and each other. Thanks for the review! ^_^
CRaZy NeKO-JiN: I am honoured lol, it's nice to know you're liking this, it gives it more meaning you know. Ooh a fellow angst lover, well obviously many other readers here enjoy it as well, but I'm just noting it for now, lol. This chapter was for you, as you requested more Rei POV ^_~ Lol, yeah LP! Thanks for the review!
SoulSister: Thank you so much! I really appreciate your review. I really like movies that make you think, with all those numerous and complex plotlines(okay maybe this story isn't that complex, but anyway), so I try to make my work as labrynth-like as I can. Thank you for the angst-plot compliment as well, I don't usually put a whole lot of thought into a story before hand, I usually lay out the first chapter, but the story kinda comes out on it's own, quite amazing actually. Thank you for your review! ^_^
OHMYYAOIGOD: So glad you like! Happy Christmas to you too, tho it's a little late now ^_^;; that's okay. Lol, oh and yes, I hope I fulfilled your request with updating another chapter. Thank you so much for your review!^_^
I luv Kai: Don't worry, Kai's currently very confused about things, and very sorry, I tell you. And don't worry, good stories don't end with ".and they broke up and everyone was sad." Trust me. Lol. Thank you so much for your review.
DragonBlade: Yeah Rei was a tad bit bitter, tho I believe he had every right to be, ya know. Hope this met your standards, thank you very much for your review! lone*phoenix1: Okay okay! Keep your hat and knickers on! Lol, I wrote this didn't I? I assure you, I will never leave a fanfic unfinished. well sometimes it'll take me awhile, but I always finish what I start. Thanks for your review!
Ghetto fabulous: Hey friend! Lol, wow, I feel so special! I'm getting death threats for my work now!!! Lol, you're the second person! No wonder all those famous people are murdered, people who send them threats actually go through with it. Thank you tho. Lol, you know they have re-hab for ax murderers with killing spree obsessions lol jk jk. And I know you're kidding, chill. So it was YOU who stol e my plastic mechetti?! I'll kill you! Hehe.jk jk. Ooooh Linkin Park concert in Toronto rocked, saw it last Saturday! So yes, they do rock lol. Oh and Kai's not a killer, just in need of therapy. Lol, but I'm glad you had some type of reaction to the scene, it's nice to know I've created something that realistic seeming, actually I wrote that part really fast, like I was extremely nervous or something, very strange. And aye, I like to connect with my readers, because I'm their readers too, so in effect we're all friends with something in common. Glad you like! Thanks for your review!
Lady Snowblossom: Thank you so much, I really do try to capture their emotions as best I can, kind of refering back to myself and how I would feel and react in their situation. Unrealistic, in my situation, but works out very well in theirs. It does seem like they have lost the best thing that happened to them, I mean, Kai opened up because of Rei, and Rei had somebody to love because of Kai. He's just a loving person who needs to love (Rei that is), at least that's how I see it. Thank you so much for you review!
Shaka Dragomir Nocturnus: Thank you very much, thanks for your review! Hope I updated soon enough lol.
Insane Pluto: I know what you mean, you just wanna grab that person, or hire a muse to do it for you, to nag and nag until they finish their great story lol. And I know what you mean about never having time to work on your fics, I'm in grade 11 and I'm really busy nowadays, with working, plus lessons, courses and homework. Luckily tho, it's exam week and I had both my exams on Tuesday. I sympathize for those who aren't as lucky as I got. Thank you very much for your review! Hope you get to update your fics soon! ^_^
Kara the Half Wolf: I know it's been a long while since I've updated, very sorry about that. It's sad that beautiful things like such a compatable relationship end, I agree, but hey, conflict, angst and plot, are all very good friends lol. Of course, Kai can have Rei, that's just the way I see it, but even when things are down and don't look good for the good side, the most unlikely of things occur, and though not in real life usually, but in stories, things have a way of coming out for the better, don't worry, they haven't forsaken each other. Lol, you don't have to beg either, chill! Thanks so much for your review! Hope this is good for your standards. ^_^
