animefan rikku- Hello, I know, nobody likes when Kira's step dad rapes her, or almost does, but it's all a part of the story. Yup, I've noticed also. I'm so happy by the way this story is going. Thank you for the great review!
nicole- Hello, I'm glad that you've come back for the this chapter. Yes yes, Kira's step dad will pay in the end, but there's a lot more to go before that happens. There will be some nice fluff between Rei and Kira, but their relationship was meant to be tortured, and so that is what i'll do. I'm glad you like the yaoi. I hope to see you in the next chapter.
kitsunia- Omg, I can't believe I posted that. Aww, I'm so sorry. I meant "type" not "time." I have to work on double checking my work. Again, I apologize! Thank you for reviewing.
optical illusions- I'm glad you like everything!
snowy16770- I'm glad that you're cool with the yaoi stuff. Yay, I feel so special. Thank you!
verauko- Don't worry there will be a RxK lemon somewhere in this story... a bit later though. Don't worry I will never put up a chapter with AxH stuff alone, and I did put that much in the last chapter. You'll get plenty of the fluff you crave. I'm glad that you're feeling the mood of the story, all the angst and everything. Thanks for the great review!
Moon Maiden- Kira is 16 now and will be 17 when the five months are up. I don't think I've mentioned how long Rei's been in juvie. I wont say when he'll be out later.
infamous red- Yay, thanks for reading my story. I'm glad you like the yaoi and the plot. I hope you'll stick around for the next chapter.
Rayo- Flattery will get you nowhere, except a new chapter on the same day you reviewed! Thanks for the review.
Chapter 9-
"How are we doing back there?" Mr. Asaba asked (a/n remember him? He's the counselor from the beginning of the story) from behind the wheel, eyeing Rei from his rearview mirror.
"Just peachy," Rei replied cooly, he still hadn't learned to trust Mr. Asaba. Sometime during his childhood he grew to resent adult authority.
"How are you doing with... what's her name again? Kira is it?" Mr. Asaba questioned.
Rei's cheeks turned red at the mention of her name. He tried to hide it by covering his mouth and faking hard coughs.
"Are you okay? Maybe you're coming down with a cold? Sounds like you're coughing up a lung back there," Mr. Asaba asked.
Rei shook his head. "I'm fine, everything is fine." He wished that Mr.Asba would stop asking so many questions. Rei felt like he was being interrogated, which brought him back to memories at the police department.
"Sure, but you didn't answer my question," Mr. Asaba said as he made a sharp right turn, causing everyone in the car to lean to the left.
"Don't touch me," Hideaki said coldly when Akira bumped into him, his body automatically going rigid.
"Get over it already, it's not like I did it on purpose," the words flew from his mouth, Akira didn't even remember that he was trying to win Hideaki back.
Hideaki's icy light blue eyes tore right through Akira. He knew exactly what Hideaki was thinking, he was probably saying what an ass he was and that he should have known that Akira would never change. Akira could have kicked his own ass.
"
Rei took a deep breath before entering her room. "Hey," Rei greeted her, hoping that she'd be in a better mood today. It depressed him when she was sad.
"I'm sorry, for the way I was yesterday. I really should have been stronger," Kira said softly. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, staring down at the floor.
"Sorry? You didn't do anything. You don't need to apologize," he replied as he went and sat next to her. He wanted more than anything to be able to comfort her.
She gave him a smile, which signaled 'I love you' in large bright neon letters. "Before it happened my father's phone rang, someone was telling him he had to go someplace. Had i not been for that phone call he would have..." she paused for a moment and then started again. "Before the phone rang I just laid there underneath him. I didn't do anything. I didn't yell, I didn't push him away. I'm just so defective," she said simply, her mood declining greatly. It was as though she was in a downward spiral.
"Don't speak that way, please," Rei said, reaching out for her hand. "I don't see you that way at all. You're not helpless, and you're not defective. Getting out of that house was your first step to getting away from him."
"Feels more like I'm just being a coward, like I'm just running away from it," Kira replied, tears once more running down her cheeks. It was nearly routine. "I wish I could be more like you... strong and bold. Instead of weak and dull." She looked up at him through teary eyes with admiration.
"I'm nobody to admire. The only way I solve my problems is by using violence, which doesn't really solve anything. "I love you, I don't want you to change," Rei told her honestly, taking both hands in his and looking at her intensely.
Her heart soared, she never thought she'd hear those words pass his lips. "I love you too," she replied, her tears of sorrow replaced by those of joy. "I'm all waterworks," she said half jokingly as she wiped away her tears.
He gave her a small smile and kissed her gently. Her lips were plump, soft and warm against his. What he wouldn't give to be able to spend all his time with her.
"Oh, I almost forgot I have something to show you!" he exclaimed excitedly, hoping to cheer her up even more. Rei'd been planning to share this with her for a long time.
Her eyes lit up like a small child's in a candy store. It was amazing how she sometimes showed these adorable childish qualities despite all she'd been through in the past.
He pulled his book bag onto his lap and pulled out a magazine. He made drum roll noises as he turned the cover towards her. "Here it is, the greatest magazine in the world!" he exclaimed as he thrusted it to her.
She took it from him slowly and looked hard at the cover. "Biker's Monthly?" Kira questioned as she read the title.
He nodded excitedly. "Yup, I'm going to be on the cover one day," Rei said confidently. She detected something shy in his voice.
"I know you will," she replied with a convincing nod.
He smiled at her. "You know, you're the first person to ever say that to me. The kids at school would laugh and tell me to keep dreaming. My teachers would advise me to stick to my school work and focus on trying to graduate. My dad..." he paused and frowned deeply. "He'd only laugh. You see after Sei died I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle over in California. There my uncle introduced me to the beautiful world of biking. When I came back and asked my dad to take me to a track, or to buy me my own motorcycle he was furious. He told me it was a waste of time. He never even wanted to see just how good I was." Rei's voice was edgy, Kira could tell just how angry it made him.
"I'd like to be there..." Kira began slowly, the sweetest smile played on her face.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Rei asked.
"I'd like to be there when you pass that red line on the track and the announcer calls Kashino comes in first place, the youngest in today's race with a record of," Kira continued. "I want to run to you as you drive into the racers pit and take off your helmet, sweat drenched hair plastered to your forehead, and a triumphant smile on your face." she told him, her warm hand against his cheek.
The anger towards his father melted, and in it's place was his love for Kira. Nobody ever took him as seriously as she did. He sighed deeply "I love you," he said again.
"I love you too," she said as she placed the magazine aside and laid into Rei's chest and allowed him to wrap his arms around her small frame.
"What a strange couple huh? A juvenile hall inmate and a psychiatric ward patient," Rei commented with a chuckle. "Who would have thought?"
"I'm glad," she told him softly as she listened to the strong and steady beat of Rei's heart. "I'm so glad I met you Rei. I used to wake up everyday praying it would be my last in the ward and on this earth," this one pierced straight through Rei's heart. "Now, I wake up excited about seeing you again..."
Rei was speechless. He never thought that a delinquent like him would be able to change someone's life like that. Rei looked down at her wrists, purple and red scars were everywhere. "You're still cutting," he said.
"But farther away from the vein," Kira added with a sad smile. "I'm better, everything's better when you're around," she said softly as she closed her eyes and embraced the moment.
Rei sighed, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He silently vowed to make Kira truly happy, to make all her pain and worries go away.
Author's Note: A bit short maybe, but I'm building up for something really really good, so please stick around. I thought the part with Rei and Kira was cute and a little sad, which is kind of hard to do. Not much Akira and Hideaki fluff here, I know some of you are jumping for joy. I've been super-busy with school work, but should have more writing time in two weeks or so. You know what to do! Click that sexy blue button and review!!!
