Chapter 1-
Wounds and Woes,
Friends and Foes.
Rei ran, running as fast as his neko-jin speed could take him. He ignored the pain in his side as he dodged the bullets flying after him. He ran in circles and other complex patterns. But it took him hours to lose his tails.
Once he lost them he ran to Tyson's Dojo. Biting his bottom lip he took the dagger from his boot and lifted his crimson shirt to inspect the bullet wound in his side.
He took the knife and gently inserted it into the bullet wound, digging out the bullet from the deep hole. It fell to the ground with a soft 'ping' and he let out a hiss of breath, his other hand had been clenched and the crescents in his palm were bleeding. He quickly put the dagger back in his boot and lowered his crimson shirt, deciding to clean it inside.
He leaned against the gate of the Dojo for a while, catching his breath before he put on the façade that he normally wore; the happy-go-lucky, cheery mask.
He sighed, his smile in place he carefully walked inside, trying not to show signs of him having a wound in the first place. Hoping to Kami that Kai wouldn't be there.
He walked inside and smiled at his friends mentally cursing when he saw Kai leaning against the wall.
Tyson and Max were training and Kenny and Dizzy were taking statistics.
He smiled and nodded to them, walking over to a wall across from Kai he leans against it.
Kai looks up at him, and sees a crack in the façade. He discretely nods to the gate and Rei subtly sighs, making an excuse he leaves and senses Kai following him.
He stops a few feet outside of the Gate and turns to look at Kai.
"You wanted something?"
"Yea. Two things actually."
Rei winced, hoping it wasn't seen but knowing it was, when he hit his wounded side.
"One, let me see your side."
Rei sighs and looks at him.
"It's my business Kai."
"Rei Kon."
Rei shuddered, knowing he couldn't take him on while he was wounded.
He gave a small face and shuddered continually as he slowly peeled the shirt from his wounded side.
Kai drew in a small hiss of breath.
"Is the bullet out?"
"Yea."
"Did you have a chance to clean it?"
"No, but what was the second thing."
"... Follow me."
They walked down a few streets and eventually arrived in front of the street shark wharehouse.
"Before we go in I want you to promise me something."
"What?"
"Whatever happens in there stays in there."
"Promise."
"Good."
They walked inside and Rei froze.
Two figures were sitting on the steps.
"T-Tala?!? Bryan?!?"
