Chapter 19: Case Of The Ex
"Good night my sweet prince, may your tormented soul finally rest in peace, in a world not our own," he said placing a kiss on Rei's bluish-white lips, and getting ready to slash his throat.
"Are you sure you wanna do that?" asked a cool voice from behind.
Startled, Lei quickly spun around, only to come face to face with his ex. "K-Kai?" he gasped, before skillfully hiding his shock. "Look who's finally come back to me, just like I always knew you would," he said with a smirk.
Kai chuckled softly at this. "Don't get your hopes up. I'd never go back to you. I've been telling you that for years. Besides don't you have *Mariah* now?" he asked spitting out her name as if it were venom.
"Yes. I suppose I do," Lei answered tranquilly. "But still, there's no love like the love between two males. Do you not agree, Kai?"
Kai just stared at him for a moment, before his eyes wandered to the floor only to rest upon the figure at Lei's feet that was Rei. "Yes, I do," Kai answered slowly as he walked towards the raven-haired vampire. "What did you do to him?" he asked all to calmly, knelling down beside Rei, and brushing a few loose strands of raven hair from his forehead. (I am so going to kill you for this Lei!) Kai thought mentally.
"Nothing much," was Lei's simple answer as he watched Kai's concern for Rei.
"Nothing much?!" Kai growled turning to him. "Then why the hell is he lying unconscious, and barely breathing on the floor?" he demanded dangerously.
Lei felt a bit intimidated by Kai's anger, but showed little sign of it as he stared impassively at his former koi's face. Kai gently turned the golden-eyed vampire's head, and brushed back some of his dark hair away from his extremely pale neck, exposing it. He gasped quietly when he the saw two large fang marks, marring his otherwise perfectly flawless skin. "Y- you bit him?" he spoke quietly, surprise very evident in his voice. "You son of a bitch! Why would you?" he cried angrily.
Lei stared at him, just watching his anger fuel.
"You bastard!" Kai swore rising to his feet, and walking towards him. "Why won't you say anything!" he demanded after a moment.
Lei blinked innocently, a little smile playing across his lips. "Are you done yet?" he asked teasingly. "Or do I need to put you in the corner for being such a potty mouth?"
Kai's hands balled tightly into fists, "don't fuck with me, Lei," he warned.
"Calm down, relax, start breathing," Lei said after a moment. "Yes I drank from him, so what? I mean it's not like I had sex with him or anything. He's still pure," Lei shrugged. "To some extent," he muttered quietly, but loud enough so that Kai could here.
"What do you mean 'to some extent?" the crimson-eyed vampire asked him, a tinge of fear growing deep within him. "What did you do to him?"
"Oh nothing," Lei sang. "We just played a little game of bump and grind," Lei grinned loving the look of resentment on Kai's face. "Unfortunately he passed out before we could finish. Pity he was enjoying it too," Lei sighed in false disappointment. "Perhaps it was the combination of pain and pleasure, that tired him out in the end," Lei continued. "Perhaps it was just too much for his sexy, little body to bare..."
But he never got the chance to finish, as Kai reached out and grabbed the collar of his cape, lifting him from the ground, and with one angry grunt tossed him away with such force that he went flying into the back wall.
A sickening crack was heard as his body collided with the stonewall, and he slid to the floor, a bit of blood trickling down from his dark hair. He was out cold. Kai stood there glaring at him for a moment; contemplating on whether or not he should kill Lei, end it here and now. He lost his train of thoughts when he heard a soft whimper.
"K-Kai?" he heard a small voice struggle to speak, and he turned full around. It was Rei. He was coming to! Kai quickly ran to him, taking his lighter body in his arms, cradling him. "Kai? I-is that you?" came Rei's voice in a hoarse whisper, his eyes were still closed and his bluish-white lips trembling softly.
"Yeah," Kai answered, "it's me kitten," he told him.
Rei finally opened his eyes a bit, revealing deep amber orbs, "I don't know why you call me that," he said struggling to smile.
Kai smiled back, and kiss him on the forehead. "You're not well. You've lost too much blood," Kai told him, feeling a bit stupid for pointing out the obvious.
"I know," Rei said at once. Suddenly his amber eyes were shining with unshed tears. "I-I'm going to die, aren't I?" he asked softly.
Kai's eyes widened considerably, and for a moment he felt like just breaking down and crying with Rei but he didn't. "No," he said at once. "You won't die, you can't die! Not now, and not like this," Kai continued, tears slowly filling up his eyes. "I've let you down," Kai began. "I promised I'd protect you. I promised you that I wouldn't let anything happen to you. And I broke that promise, because here you are in my arms, so close to death," Kai bowed his head in shame, and closed his eyes, tears tinted in blood slowly running down his pale face.
Rei's eyes widened. In all his time living with the dark and mysterious vampire Kai, he had yet to see him cry. "It wasn't your fault, Kai," Rei told him, raising his hands to his face, and cupping it. "I should never have gone looking for Lei."
Kai took one of Rei's hands and kissed his wrist softly. He then thrust a hand in Rei's face. "Drink," he demanded. "It's the only way you'll get well."
Rei nodded and did what he was told, his fangs piercing into Kai's flesh, and he began to feed. Kai watched him as he did this, literally watching the color return to Rei's face. Kai let him take as much as he needed. Though Kai was feeling a bit weaker he knew Rei needed this blood much more than he did so he let him continue. Rei stopped feeding from a few minutes later, not wanting to take too much. Kai soon stood up and offered a hand to Rei, who took it gratefully.
Rei was looking a lot better, and no longer resembled someone on the brink of death. However, he still felt extremely violated, dirty, and used. He also had a new found hate for Lei. Lei had no respect for anything! He took everything, including life itself to be nothing more than one huge joke. He strutted around as though the world was his playground and nothing else.
Kai suddenly reached into the pocket of his black leather pants. Rei watched in surprise as Kai pulled out a pocket knife. "Rei, go downstairs, the others are looking for you down there. They'll take you home, and we can talk later. I'll catch up with you in a minute," the crimson-eyed boy told him.
"No!" Rei said at once. "I-I'm not going!" he stated.
Kai's eyes narrowed slightly. "Rei weren't you listening I said GO DOWNSTAIRS!"
"And I said I won't," Rei shot back, glaring. "I know what you plan to do," he said at once. "You're going to kill Lei as soon as I leave, I just know it!"
"Yeah, I guess I am. But you should be glad. Why do you stick up for him after what he did?" Kai demanded. "He killed your parents, violated your body and tried to kill you, what better of a reason must I have to kill him?"
"Look Kai," the raven-haired vampire began. "I completely agree with you, he does deserve to die for what he did."
"Then why won't you let me kill him?" Kai asked no longer raising his voice.
"First off, because you promised me you wouldn't," Rei reminded him. "And secondly because he's hurt me so much, mentally and physically, plus he's hurt so many others including my parents," said Rei. "He doesn't know how it feels to be hurt so bad, or maybe he just doesn't remember."
"What are you getting at?" Kai asked not sure where this was going, and not in the mood for another one of Rei's lectures.
"Kai, Lei has no feelings for anything. You don't just kill people like that, you try to teach them," Rei explained.
"I am going to teach him," said Kai, picking up the sword from the ground.
"By killing him?!" Rei shrieked.
"Yeah, pretty much," Kai shrugged.
"And how do you suppose he's going to regret what he's done, or even learn anything if he's dead!" Rei demanded.
"He'll learn that if he kills people for no reason, he'll end up being killed." Kai answered, as he walked toward Lei's unconscious body, which was still slumped against the wall.
"Kai, please don't!" Rei screamed, as he dashed to Kai's side. "You can't kill him or he'll never truly be sorry for what he's done to me, and everyone else he's ever hurt."
"Rei," began Kai. "Can't you see? He'll never learn. There's no hope for people like him. He was born without a conscious, besides he and his gang are responsible for the massacre of hundreds. He and his followers are like a bee colony. You know what they say 'kill the leader and they all go down," and with that, Kai continued toward Lei, dagger in hand.
Rei stared after him feeling helpless, tears returning to his eyes. "I won't let you do it!" Rei announced dashing forward at once, and grabbing the arm of Kai in which held the knife. Rei's strong grip on Kai's arm amazed him as well as Kai. Kai struggled to free his arm without hurting Rei, but finally he had had enough and he tore his arm out of Rei's grip and pushed him away roughly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The raven-haired vampire paused for a moment to consider what he had just said. The reporter watched as Rei soon closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. Whether he was trying to clear it, or be rid himself of painful memories Christopher didn't know. Rei opened his eyes moments later, they suddenly seemed to shimmer, and it appeared to Christopher Matthews that he was on the verge of tears.
The reporter stared sympathetically at him for a moment, ready to comfort him should he breakdown. However, when he didn't the reporter spoke up. "I get it now," he spoke softly. "I now understand why you said that you wished that Kai could have made smarter choices in the past."
Rei looked up at this.
"Kai," said the reporter, his green eyes wide. "H-he never listened to you. Ever. He repeatedly broke his promises, and never took your word for anything. Even when he knew you were right." Rei nodded, and shifted a little in his chair. He cleared his throat loudly, and seemed to have finally regained his dark, and mysterious gentleman like composure.
The vampire drew one last quick breath, and in a quivering voice he proceeded. "Kai had shoved me away from him with such force that I was thrown backwards and I hit my head against the stonewall. I remember staring stupidly at Kai after that, being utterly appalled at what he had just done to me."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei was in a daze like state. His head was throbbing, his vision blurred, and his hearing becoming muffled, as his back lay slumped against the cold stonewall. Immediately Rei knew he had suffered a concussion and was losing consciousness again. (No! Not again! Not now!) he thought desperately to himself, as he tried to sit up.
He wanted to lunge at Kai, and shake him and call him crazy for wanting to kill Lei. But he couldn't get up, in fact he couldn't move at all. Suddenly he heard the thudding of many footsteps running towards him, and he heard two badly muffled voices calling out his name. Though their voices were barely audible, Rei knew somehow that they belonged to Max and Takao. They must've come to see if he was all right. Rei figured that they had most likely heard the large bang that sounded when Rei bumped his head against the wall, and they had gone to investigate.
Sure enough, there stood Max and Takao. Both vampires gasped at the sight of him, barely conscious on the ground. The golden-haired vampire knelt down in front of him, his eyes shining with tears, and he gently ran a hand across Rei's cheek.
"We have to get him out of here," Max whispered turning to Takao. Takao nodded in agreement and approached the young raven-haired vampire.
"No!" Rei spoke quietly, "I don't want to leave. I have to stay."
"But you're hurt," Max pointed out.
Though it hurt badly, Rei shook his head harder. "I can't leave yet, I have to stay and stop Kai. I can't let him kill Lei. You have to let me stay. Please..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What happened after that?" Christopher asked eagerly.
Rei just stared blankly at him for a minute. Finally he shrugged. "I don't know."
There was an uncomfortable silence.
Christopher Matthews stared at him, in total, and complete incredulity. "Y- you're kidding right?" he laughed almost hysterically.
"No," said Rei curtly.
Another long silence.
"You don't remember what happened after that?" the reporter gasped, frantically.
Rei's eyebrows furrowed. "Well, no," he answered eyeing the reporter strangely. "I-I blacked out. And I can't remember anything after that. All I know is that I awoke sometime later, and I was still on the ground in the same room."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei's eyes fluttered open and he weakly to his feet. Immediately he panicked. How long had he been out of it? And what about Kai? Had he already killed the evil, and murderous Lei? Rei glanced desperately around the room, and gasped at the sight before him....
TBC.
Another one of my infamous cliffies! ^_^
Lei: I was SO weak in this chapter! I got thrown at a wall and then I'm out cold?! What the hell kinda chapter was this!
Silverstorms: Don't worry, ur true power will be unleashed soon enough just be patient. K?
Lei: *grunts*
Silverstorms: I don't know why, but I don't feel I did the best I could with this chapter. For some reason it seems to be, well...lacking something. (Besides about another three pages) It's probably just the pressure I feel I'm under to update ASAP. *sighs* I'm not as confident with this chappie as I am with others and it worries me. The next chapter (which is the continuation of this one) is that final chapter of this chronicle. (Though I warn you now it will be divided into parts 1 and 2) I hope I get back on track by then. Wish me luck! I hope I get over my cold soon, maybe that's what made this chapter so crappy. ^_^
