Chapter 14: The Meeting
After hours of going through their exceedingly large wardrobes Kai and Rei finally managed to pick out clothing for that night. Rei was dressed in white leather pants and a silk white blouse, his white attire made him look angelic. Kai however, contrary to Rei's white outfit was clad in black leather pants and a black silk shirt.
Kai stood in front of his dresser staring at himself in the mirror as he sprayed on some of his favorite Axe Deodorant spary. Kai pretended he didn't notice Rei's quick glances at him, as he sat on the edge of Kai's four-poster bed, but finally it got to him. "Rei what is it?" he demanded, glaring at Rei through the mirror. "Uh," began Rei, looking slightly startled. "I-it's nothing important," he sighed as if defeated, his gaze lowering to the ground.
Kai spun around, leaning against his dresser, his arms crossed over his chest. "If it was nothing then you wouldn't be worried about it," he stated. "So spit it out already." "Well," began the raven-haired vampire. "It's just that I've been...well...having," "Second thoughts," Kai finished for him. Rei made a small noise in the back of his thoart that indicated that Kai was correct, and he hung his head in shame. Kai groaned in annoyance and moved to sit down beside Rei. He draped his arm over Rei's shoulder pulling him in closer. "Rei," he began, his lips almost against Rei's ear. "I promise that I won't let anything happen to you, no matter what," he vowed.
"It's not me I'm worried about, it's you," Rei confessed. "I don't want to lose you to your ex, Lei." Kai burst out in laughter. "Gee, thanks a lot for laughing at my anxiety," Rei growled. "I-I'm sorry," Kai apologized, still struggling to suppress his laughter. "It's just that I'm surprised that this was all you were worried about. For a minute there I actually thought it was something important." "It's important to me, Kai," Rei told him, in a voice that held no laughter whatsoever. "What if you forgive each other for what happened in the past and decide to get back together?" he inquired, fretfully.
Kai snorted at the suggestion, "not likely," he stated. But Rei didn't seem too convinced. "Seriously, Kai what if you really did fall in love with him again, and you found out that you liked him better than me?" "Hmm," Kai said, as if deep in thought. "Can I get back to you on that?" he joked. "KAI!" Rei cried, pushing him away in anger, but smiling in spite of himself. "That was *not* funny," Rei warned. "Must be if I managed to make you smile," the crimson-eyed vampire smirked, and Rei couldn't help the all- to-present smile playing across his lips.
"Rei, you're really pale," Kai said suddenly. "Have you drank any blood lately?" Rei bit his bottom lip, avoiding Kai's inquiring gaze. "Y-yeah," he answered hesitantly. "What I meant was have you drank any *human* blood lately?" the crimson-eyed vampire elaborated, his dark eyes narrowing. "Yes..." was Rei's answer. "I don't believe you," Kai said automatically, and he seemed angry. "I can tell you're lying, and you really shouldn't be. Because only you will suffer in the end if you don't nourish your body." "How-how did you know I was...lying?" Rei asked, finally looking at Kai, his golden eyes were wide with curiosity. "How you ask? Simple. When a vampire is lacking blood, their bodies feel cold to the touch, and their skin can appear really pasty, like yours looks right now," Kai said plainly, as he reached up to stroke Rei's face. "You need blood. Human blood. We'll get you some tonight."
~*~
That night Kai and Rei rolled up to the theatre in a sexy black Porsche. "Whoa!" Rei exclaimed, as he pressed his face against the car window on the passenger's side. "This place is packed!" he said eyeing the many people as they entered the theatre. Kai said nothing, and didn't even look up when Rei had described the amount of people there. He kept his cold crimson eyes on road, as he struggled to find them a convenient parking space.
Kai's silence continued as he stepped out of the car, and walked over to the other side to open the door for Rei. Together they walked up to the theatre doors, which were currently surrounded by a thunderous crowd of eager men and women dressed in their most fashionable and expensive attire. Men in their best suits, and women wearing dresses draped in only the rarest of jewels. Immediately upon reaching the line in front of the doors, Rei perceived that the crowd was all human, even the security men that were struggling in a fruitless attempt to keep the large crowd at bay were human, and Rei vaguely wondered if he and Kai had come to the right place.
"Kai," the amber-eyed vampire whispered to him. "This line is so long, and were at the very end of it, we'll never get good seats now." Kai was about to respond when a loud voice interrupted him. "REI! KAI! OVER HERE YOU GUYS!" Rei heard the loud eager voice say. Rei had a hunch of whom that voice belonged to and his eyes wandered to where the sound had come from. Sure enough there stood Takao and Max waving to him from a spot near the front of the line. Rei immediately began to wonder why he hadn't sensed their presence before, after all they were vampires, but he quickly shrugged it off. "COME ON! WE'LL LET YOU GO IN FRONT OF US!" Takao called out, needlessly loud causing people to stare. "Could he be any louder?" Rei groaned, under his breath, his face in his hands just as any mortal would be if they were stressed or embarrassed.
"Who is he anyway, where do you know him from?" Kai demanded, already eyeing Takao with dislike. "He's my friend," Rei said in a small voice that was foreign to him. "I met him a few weeks ago." "Should've known," Kai stated coldly. "Count on you to pick out the most annoying of friends." "KAI! REI! COME ON YOU GUYS! MAXIE AND I ARE LETTING YOU CUT IN LINE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" Takao's voice called out again. "He's not so bad when you get to know him," the raven-haired vampire informed Kai, who merely looked away in disbelief, and Rei thought he saw Kai roll his eyes. Taking Kai's hand in his own, Rei dragged him towards his friends.
"Thanks for the spot you guys!" Rei told them, happily. "No prob," Max said grinning. "Uh....hope you don't mind me asking," began Rei turning to Takao. "But, I thought you weren't coming. I mean after what happened to Tala and..." "I know," Takao said rather hastily. "I wasn't going to come originally, but Max talked me into it. Said there was going to an after- party for vampires only after the play is over and we're invited!" "Why is there going to be a party afterwards? Is there always one?" Rei asked him. "No," Max answered, dusting invisible dust off his black suit. "It's the theatre's fifth anniversary, so Lei's throwing a huge party." Rei nodded in understanding. Takao was about to speak when Kai tapped him on the shoulder. Takao gazed blankly at him. "We're next," Kai said simply. Takao stared stupefied for a moment, before turning around only to realize that they were next in line.
The theatre was by invitation only and the doorman inspected their tickets for the better part of a minute before finally allowing them access to the theatre. They proceeded to enter the theatre; the name of the theatre -La Nuit Des Vampires- was proudly spelt out on a gold plate above the theatre doors. Upon entering, Rei and the others immediately noticed a drop in temperature. They stood in a spacious circular foyer, which was dimly lit by the torches that hung along the brick walls.
"I've been in here countless times in the past and this place still manages to give me the creeps," Max confessed, inching closer to Takao. "Ditto," the navy-haired boy agreed. "It's not that bad, you guys," Rei said gazing around, but Kai noticed that his pastel-colored skin was looking paler than usual. Max stared ahead watching as people filed through the large opened doors of the auditorium. "We don't want to be late so...shall we get going," the golden-haired boy offered, they others nodded and made their way towards the room. A middle-aged man in a red-colored uniform, pushed through the crowd and toward them, pointing to them to their seats, which were up the stairs, in a box, one of the best seats in the house. The entire stage was visible from there.
Just as the four young vampires were seated in the expensive, red cushiony chairs, the strong aroma of food wafted through the air. Takao responded by jumping up from his seat, "I SMELL POPCORN!" he announced, so loudly that some of the audience actually turned to stare. Rei and Kai watched as Max sank lower into his seat, next to Takao's, groaning, his face deeply reddened from embarrassment. "Takao," he whispered softly. "If you want something to eat, we'll go get some but just...keep your voice down ok?" "ALRIGHT!" Takao agreed. "Let's go you two," he said turning to Rei and Kai who hesitated.
"We'll, stay here," Kai spoke up, he handed Max a few twenty-dollar bills not trusting Takao with them. Max gaped openmouthed for a moment at the amount of money he hand just been given, until Kai spoke once more. "I'll have a cup of Scotch and a small popcorn," he announced. "Do you want anything," Kai asked the raven-haired teen that seemed fairly quiet, and distracted lately. "I'll just have a glass of red wine," he said in a whisper. "You two can keep the change," Kai told Takao and Max, who looked at each other in shock but then smiled. "Thanks!" said Takao. "We'll be right back," he promised before he and Max left the auditorium. "Take your time, and break a leg!" Kai called after Takao's retreating form.
"Are you all right?" Kai asked Rei when as soon as the others left. "Yeah, I'm fine," Rei answered meekly. "Really?" said Kai. "Because you seem kind of...distant." "I'm just thinking that's all," Rei said trying to reassure Kai, but in the back of his mind Rei couldn't help but remind himself that tonight he would finally see the person responsible for his parents death...Lei.
That was chapter 15, hope u enjoyed it! And yeah, I kno ur probably pretty pissed about me ending it here, but hey I'm in a hurry! Anyway, I can't think of much to say except that I WENT BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING YESTERDAY! AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH! What is the world coming to?
