Two Worlds

Ch. 03: Questions Of The Mind

"So why did you help me?" There was silence after that, Kai couldn't answer...he didn't have an answer.

"I heard people say that you don't care about anyone but yourself? Is that really true?" Rei kept on asking as his eyes were on his wound, not noticing the expression on Kai's face.

"I guess so..." the other boy answered, but really, he did care.

He cared for his friends, cared for his loved ones...

"Oh..." the Chinese boy turned his eyes back onto the boy in front of him and noticed something.

/Oh my god...I am sitting in a room with the most famous actor and pop star in the universe...OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I'm going crazy...okay; ask for his on! Arrgh...I'm so stupid...Kata is going to kill me if she knows about this.../

"Um..." with those thoughts in mind, Rei lowered his head and found interest on the ground below rather then his company.

Seeing a slight blush creeping upon the wounded boy, Kai ached an eyebrow in slight confusion.

"Err...I...."

/Why can't I speak properly! I could a minute ago.../

Rei shook his head slight at how embarrassing this was and just turned away.

"Well, since you're clearly having problems, I'll get you a cup of water." The bluenette exited the room, saving Rei the embarrassment.

/I made a total fool of myself...heh...how nice.../

Lying back down, Rei's mind questioned him. Soon, it was hard to keep his eyelids open; they seem to turn heavier ever passing second.

/Maybe I seriously need another rest...even thought I just slept...Oh well.../

Forgetting that Kai could be back any second, Rei drift off.



Re-entering the room containing the wounded guest, Kai's eyes landed on the form on the king sized bed. A little surprised by what his eyes manage to find. There was Rei slightly curled up on the side of the bed, face a little flushed giving him the most innocent and adorable look Kai has ever seen (To Kai, he is too busy with his career to even take time to look at a young child), his unusual long raven hair draped over him like a large silk curtain and his long eyelashes curling just the slightest waves giving the boy the most feminine look. Something flickered and moved inside of the pop star, something so small, he never actually noticed. His usual hard eyes softened as an unnoticed smile graced his lips. Quietly, he set the cup containing the water on the bed stand.

"The water's here if you're thirsty." The Japanese singer spoke barely above a whisper as he then turned and silently walked out of the room.

/Darn it...I'm going soft.../ Kai chuckled silently as he moved down the hallway and the staircase.

But that was okay...to just go soft for that one moment...

/No one knows...and no one will ever know.../



A loud bang crushed the peace and silence around the large house mercilessly. It echoed around the corners and into every room. Soon, when everything was silent once again, a small whimper floated through the air, traveling not nearly as far as the previous sound.

/What the hell is all the racket so early in the morning?! /

Sighing in bits of frustration, Japan's hottest singer travelled swiftly down the polished stairs and turned into the kitchen below.

But the site that greeted him was not angering but actually quite amusing in the eyes of the bluenette because a small twinkle of a smile graced his once cold lips. On the floor of the kitchen was the guest of the house, Rei. He sat against the counter in the middle of the room holding his head with both his hands while a small pot lied back faced up on his side. Looking around the room, the cupboards on top of the counter was open, inside contained different sizes of pots and dishes. There was flour laying almost everywhere and some eggs that are smashed on the wrong places.

"I have a wonder Rei." The older of the two spoke from the doorway.

Immediately Rei looked up from his spot as his widened golden-eyes spotted the Japanese.

"Eh...and what might that be...?" the Chinese boy said nervously.

"What the heck are you doing this early in the morning? If you wanted to wake the household, you could of just yelled..." At this Rei flushed a deep red, strangely similar to the colour of Kai's eyes.

"I...I was trying to cook something for breakfast since I did stay over two nights. I didn't want to stay helpless around the house so...this was the first thing that popped into my mind..." Lowering his head, he knew this was probably the most embarrassing moments; he'll have to write that down.

"First time cooking." Now, seeing how embarrassed Rei was, the almost unnoticeable smile turned into a smirk.

"How did you guess..." in total sarcasm, Rei responded through his embarrassment.

After a moment of silence, Rei slowly got up.

"Well, I'll clean up this mess and maybe you can tell someone else to cook breakfast this morning...since I definitely can't..." sighing at not completing his task, he began to clean up.

'That'd be good idea...oh and by the way, what were you trying to make?" before he could disappear around the corner, Kai turned and asked in complete amusement and curiosity.

"Eh...pancakes?" In truth, Rei had absolutely NO idea what he was trying to make.

"I see..." The smirk widened, as he understood the tone behind the words.



"Kai, I was thinking. Since you are here on vacation, want to go and ski? I know you LOVE skiing..." the redhead spoke as he finished his last bit of pancake.

"Hn. As long as there are no fan girls around...I loathe them..."

"We know, we know...so you coming?" just then, Rei walked into the dinning room with freshly wrapped bandages around the wounds.

"Hey Rei!" Takao greeted as Yuri nodded towards the guest and smiled.

"Hey guys. So where are you planning to visit next?"

"Well, we were thinking of going skiing today but as usual, Kai is afraid of fan girls..." the redhead answered containing some facts which was not proven true.

"Argh, I am NOT afraid of them! They're just really, really annoying..." sending a glare his way, Kai spoke up.

"Whooa! We broke a record!! You spoke a complete sentence before 10 o'clock in the morning which was last time's record..." Takao found that quite amazing.

"You guys have a record of things?" Rei said in complete amusement.

"Yeah, some things are just too implausible for Mr. Hiwatari here to do, let along possible, so a record is necessary when your around these kind of people. Don't you just feel so special that you that you know Kai?" Again with the sarcasm and teasing as Yuri spoke.

Rei smiled and laughed as Kai continued sending death-glares onto his friends sitting at the table. The laughter rang through the room as Rei continued to observe the morning routine the three usual have. After a while, Yuri and Takao joined the raven-haired boy in his laughing state while the blunette gave off a tiny hint of a smile that almost went unnoticed to the three.

/I guess there's a new record...Kai smiling...naturally.../

Somehow, that though increased the rare happiness inside his heart drastically.

/I've never felt this happy and free in such a long time...please don't let it be the end of it.../

In the mind of a certain Chinese student, he prayed and wished this moment would stay.



"Are you sure it's a good idea for Rei to come, I mean his wounds are still healing..." Takao reasoned with the two older teens in their group.

"Takao, he'll be fine! And besides, I do think this is good for him. Those wounds won't heal unless he tries to forget whatever happened to him...and I have a feeling it wasn't good..." Yuri fought back as Kai just stood at the side watching as the two argued about the situation at hand.

Truth was, Yuri was right...as usual, but Takao did have a point as well.

"We'll just have to watch him and make sure he be careful around all the slippery snow...now let's go." Ending the discussion with one simple statement, the Japanese performer walked off, arms folded across his chest.

"Well, there goes our argument. I don't get it...how does the guy do it?!" Takao questioned in frustration as he followed Yuri out of the room.

"Don't look at me...even if we're his best friends...he's still a mystery...I guess some things are meant to be hidden..."

"Okay, now you're making absolutely no sense..."

"I knew that brain back there was too good to be true..." the redhead laughed a little and shook his head.

"Wah?" Not receiving the hidden insult in that sentence spoke, Takao could only voice out his confusion.

"You have a lot to learn my friend..." his voice trailed off as they came to a halt in front of a silver van designed by Honda.

"Whoa...talk about mood swings...the guy changes a car every ride! How much money do we have dude...if he keeps this up, we'll end up living on the streets of Tokyo...not in a mansion..." Takao could only stare at the new car parked in the driveway.

"Shut up Takao, we needed more room for all the skiing equipments...and that little topless car of yours isn't enough..."

"Hey! I happen to like it thank you very much Mr. I'm-the-ruler-of-this- earth!" Takao retorted.

"Nice name Takao, I'm sure Mr. Hiwatari over there is just itching to defend that title..." a more relaxed voice joined the trio.

"Yuri, I'm warning you..." in a dangerously low voice, the bluenette warned.

"About what?" It was again, time for Ty, the brainless friend of Kai to ask questions.

/How did I EVER make friends with this two.../

"Why I even bother..." shaking his head in defeat, the pop star sighed.

"Because you love us..." as always, the icy-blue eyed boy came up with a teasing comeback.

"I'm all done with the new wrapped bandages...sorry to keep you guys waiting for so long..." a more feminine voice joined the trio.

"Oh hey there Rei, you all set?"

"Yep!"

"Have you ever skied before?"

"No, not in my short life..."

"Heh...that's okay, we'll teach ya, won't we Kai..." Nudging his friend, Yuri teased.

"Hn..." grunted the blunette.

"Well then, we're off!" Jumping into the car, Takao said excitedly because the last skiing trip was still freshly printed in his mind.

"If this trip gets ruined by yet another group of stupid fans...I am going to cancel this vacation and go back to Japan..." Kai murmured.

Rei's heart skipped a beat.

/Is he being serious...but he can't leave...not right now...not ever.../
