Summary: Kai Hiwatari is the loner of the school and Rei Kon is the most popular guy in school. These two are worst enemies and truly hate each other. A drama project at school though make these two rivals get close and personal but can it work when Kai is hiding something. Especially when what he hides is a danger to everyone who comes in contact with him.
Romeo and Romeo?
Kai sat there shocked and numb as the teacher droned on and on about the play. He couldn't believe it. This meant that he would have to kiss and act in love with that asshole Rei Kon. He could act yes but he didn't know if he had enough talent to act as if he was in love with his worst enemy. It was almost impossible.
"Now look Hiwatari we have to act in love. I know it won't be too hard for you after all we all know you're gay but I'm as straight as a door," Rei hissed.
"Don't you mean a door knob? Or how about as straight as a circle," Kai replied as if he was bored.
"You may think you're big and hard Hiwatari because of your dark clothes and the incident in the corridor but you should watch your back you never know when you'll be stabbed in it," and with that Rei turned back to the front. Kai was shocked. He and Rei fought a lot but Rei was never as cruel as that. Kai shrugged it off though. He was used to this sort of treatment so it just washed over him.
The bell rang and it was time for lunch. Kai never stayed at school for the hour and half lunch break he always went somewhere. Now Rei being the person he was wanted to ruin Kai's life for embarrassing him in Drama so he decided to follow him. He watched as Kai walked out of the school campus and down the road. Rei sneakily followed and thought that Kai must have knew Rei was following because they seemed to be walking forever. That was until they came to Nature High School. Rei knew this school. It was for all the people that weren't rich and couldn't afford Jester. Rei and his friends called it the Peasant School. Rei was confused though what would Kai want with this school. His question was soon answered as he saw Kai walk up to a group of seven. Kai Hiwatari didn't have friends he was sure he didn't.
Rei watched surprised as Kai smiled. Now Rei pinched himself Kai doesn't smile he never did. All the people around Kai dressed like him and some had outrageous hairstyles like bright yellow falling into one eye, or bright red being split and two strands falling into his eyes. Who were these people and why did everyone who came out of the school greet Kai as if he was a hero? Rei was confused who was this two toned enigma really?
Rei shook his head. Why was he so concerned about getting one over on Hiwatari? His eyes narrowed, 'because he embarrassed me and made me look weak' he thought. He still couldn't get over the sudden change in him. Rei rubbed at his throat subconsciously and then turned his back to the school and walked back to Jester.
Kai was talking to his friends when Tyson, the loud mouth one of the group tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey Kai isn't that a rich kid?" he asked. Kai turned and saw Rei Kon walking away. He swore under his breath.
"Kai what's wrong?" Tala asked.
"That is Rei Kon my worst enemy and he knows I'm here."
"So it doesn't matter does it?"
"Yes it does. He'll tell his lackeys about you guys and then they'll make my life even more a living hell," Kai sighed a rubbed at the back of his neck.
"Kai if anyone can handle it, it's you," said a small brown haired boy with thick glasses.
"Yeah I know it's just an annoyance really," Kai sighed, " well I better get back see you lot later maybe," and with that Kai walked off down the street and back to Hell.
When he got there he saw Rei standing outside with his arms folded.
"Hey Hiwatari you didn't tell me you had friends," Rei said standing in Kai's way so he couldn't get into the school.
"Like I told you earlier Kon my business is my business which means it isn't any of yours," Kai replied folding his arms he realised he wasn't going to get rid of Rei just yet.
"You get so touchy don't you? Well anyway I just got a message from the idiot who thought up the play and it looks like we have rehearsal later tonight," Rei sighed showing his frustration.
"Ok I'll be in the auditorium after school now if that's all," Kai said trying in vain to get past Rei.
"No you're wrong. Mr Wyatt has an appointment straight after school so we have to be here at six it'll be about two hours can you handle that?" Rei asked challenge in his voice.
"Kon I'm not the one who has to dress and act like a girl! Maybe you should ask yourself that question," Rei glared at Kai.
"Fine act all tough then Hiwatari I've gave you the message you might not want to be late," Rei hissed and then turned and stalked back into the shadowed school corridors. Kai sighed again. He was supposed to be going out with Tala and the guys tonight. Well he'll just have to tell them that he'll meet them later.
Kai went through the rest of the day thinking about the upcoming rehearsal and dreading it. This meant that he would be in close quarters with Rei for a couple hours every night. He didn't know how he would be able to handle that.
Finally it was the end of school and he could go home. Well sort of. It didn't feel like home to him not with his grandfather living there and ever since that incident. He walked slowly home and as the houses thinned and countryside became larger an oppressive manor came into site. Large grey walls seemed to absorb the sunlight and give out a dark and eerie feel, thick iron wrought gates guarded the house to make sure nobody got in and the large ceiling to floor windows were empty and black. It looked as if nobody lived there but they did. Kai walked through the gates after he had punched in the code and as the gates shut behind him it seemed as if his freedom was shut out also. He walked up the long and winding drive to the door of his manor only stopping to pick some red roses for his mother.
"Boy you are late!" came a strict voice.
"No I'm not Grandfather and you know it," Kai responded.
"You dare defy me?"
"Yes I dare now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go and speak to my mother," and with that Kai walked past his furious grandfather and up the sweeping staircase. He came to a door with the emblem of a black phoenix and he opened the door. Sitting by the window, sunlight glinting on ash blonde hair was a woman about 43 years of age looking very ill and tired.
"Mother," Kai called getting no response. Kai though didn't mind. His mother never talked now. Kai walked up to her and knelt by her feet. Tired blue eyes with silver tears cascading down tanned cheeks turned towards the kneeling boy yet they were unseeing. Kai laid the roses on his mother's lap who with shaking hands picked them up and smelled them.
"Roses so sweet, so beautiful just like you Antonio," His mother said her voice full of distress and longing. Antonio Hiwatari was Kai's father and had died in a freak accident at his place of work. Kai knew that it was no accident and his grandfather's henchman Boris had set it up thinking that he would be entitled to Kai's grandfathers will when he died but it didn't work out like that. The inheritance would go to Kai who was and is next of Kin. Kai though didn't care about the money all he cared about was his mother. Kai still remembered that night when they had been told about his father's death.
flashback
Twelve year old Kai was holding playing with his mother in the extensive garden they owned when four men, wearing neatly pressed black suits came up to them. Little Kai looked up as his mother grabbed hold of Kai's hand with an iron like grip. Her face was set and grim as if she knew what message the men had brought.
"Mother," Kai had questioned but had received no answer.
"Mrs Hiwatari I'm sorry to tell you this but Antonio was involved in an accident," said the tallest man.
"Is he ok? Can I see him?" she had exclaimed and the men all looked down. Kai now forgotten looked up, as his mother seemed to change before his very eyes. Her eyes widened and her grip tightened to where it nearly broke his hand.
"He died," said another man.
"No! Antonio cannot die, he would not leave me," she had cried over and over again. The men all looked down sadly offering no kind words of comfort.
"Mother what has happened to father?" Kai had asked. His mother's furious eyes turned on him and before Kai had known what had happened he was being hit so hard he fell to the ground. That was the first and last time his mother ever hit him but it was forever implanted in his memory.
end flashback
Kai still remembered how he felt seeing his mother cry and break down collapsing right there on the spot. Since then she never talked unless it was about his father and she was forever crying. She never came out of her room and would forever sit by the window as if to see Antonio walking down the drive. Kai shook his head as he felt a tear falling from one eye.
He would not cry, he did not cry yet the tears still fell. He became angry with himself. He never wanted to cry and if he did it were only a few yet he still considered it a weakness. He stood up sharply and walked out of his mother's room. He walked to his own room, which had the emblem of a red phoenix on the door and walked into it. He grabbed some clothes from his large wardrobe and went to his connecting bathroom having a shower as if to clean all the weakness away from him. He got dressed into baggy black jeans, a baggy black long sleeved shirt and a black denim jacket. He walked out of his room and heard his grandfather talking to Boris. Kai didn't want to see Boris not at all neither did he want to see his grandfather so he quickly went to the garage and grabbed his motorbike. He started the engine up and as it roared to life he drove away only stopping to open the gates. He rode for a couple of hours before he was needed at the auditorium. When he got there he saw many cars parked. He rode his motorbike by a shaded wall and got off taking his keys with him. He walked into the auditorium and it seemed Rei was already there.
Kai couldn't believe how fast everything had happened. It seemed that all of a sudden his life was turned upside down. It seemed fate had it in for him. He sighed and sat down on the benches away from everybody else.
"Welcome and thank you all for coming. I know most of you probably wouldn't want to come because of what you are playing," with this the teacher looked directly at Kai and Rei, "or because it is too late. It doesn't matter though because we will not be learning the play just yet. We need to get you all to trust the people in this play. Especially Romeo and Juliet," at this everyone burst out laughing whilst said people just sulked.
"So we will be doing a few trusting exercises just for tonight to get you to start trusting one another so let me set up the pairs. Kai and Rei, Mariah and Mariam, Robert and Emily," and the list wore on. Kai grudgingly walked over to Rei.
"We never speak of this do you understand Hiwatari," Rei said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, yeah I get it," Kai replied.
"Ok now class the male of the pair, or the person playing Romeo has to go behind the female of the pair, the one playing Juliet," the teacher stated. Kai was inwardly laughing as Rei was getting called a girl.
"Now the female has to fall into the arms of the male."
"No way!" Rei exclaimed.
"What's the problem Rei," the teacher sighed.
"This is Hiwatari we're talking about. We are enemies are you willing to bet that he'll catch me?" Rei said. Kai just stood there his face blank inwardly he was smirking, 'thanks Kon you just gave me an idea' he thought to himself.
"I don't care Rei now get on with it. You are delaying us," the teacher exclaimed.
"Fine," and Rei turned his back towards Kai.
"Ok females close your eyes," the teacher said, " now fall back into your partners arms." Rei did this and fell back landing on the ground with a heavy thump.
"Ow, why the fuck did you let me drop Hiwatari?" Rei swore.
"I'm so sorry I must have gotten distracted," Kai shrugged. Rei went towards Kai as if to hit him when Mr Wyatt came up between them.
"You two I have had enough of your constant bickering. Either you do this right or I will make sure you both fail," he practically screamed.
"Ok, Ok I'm sorry," they both stated.
"Good now again," Mr Wyatt stated. Rei turned back around and closed his eyes. He breather out deeply then fell back to land in Kai's arms. Rei was shocked that Kai actually caught him. He looked down and saw that Kai had painted his nails black. It felt strange to Have Kai's arms around him. He looked up and saw Kai's crimson orbs staring down at him.
"If you don't mind Kon you are heavy could you stand up?" Kai stated. Rei glared and quickly stood up.
"That's not funny Hiwatari."
"I thought it was absolutely Hilarious," Kai stated as he and Rei swapped places.
"Ok now males fall back into the females arms," Kai was still laughing about Rei being called a female it was well worth it. He still remembered the feeling of Rei's shirt clad chest under his hands. It felt strange and Kai could tell the shirt was made of silk even though it didn't look like it.
"Ok and fall," Kai sighed just waiting to be dropped but as he fell he was caught but long, lean arms. Kai quickly stood up.
"I didn't think you'd catch me Kon," Kai stated.
"Well unlike you I'm not petty," came the response and they turned and listened to the teacher. They continued on like that for the rest of the night and Mr Wyatt was pleased to see that Kai and Rei were easily doing this exercise and not moaning at each other. By the time they had to go home the boys were talking civilly.
"You can all go now but we will have rehearsal tomorrow," he stated. The students nodded and started to go home.
"Rei, Kai can you stay behind please I want a word with you two," the two said teenagers stopped and walked towards their teacher.
"What is wrong with you two?" he asked.
"Nothing sir."
"You two are always fighting. The only time I can get you two to co-operate is threatening you," he sighed.
"Sorry sir," My Wyatt knew he wasn't getting anywhere with this.
"I want you two to practise outside of rehearsal. I want this performance flawless as if you two really are in love do you understand?" he stated. They nodded dumbly.
"Fine you can go now," he dismissed them and they walked out not talking.
"Hiwatari," Rei called as Kai walked off to get his motorbike.
"What Kon?"
"We need to sort out a time to practice," he stated.
"Why we have rehearsals for that."
"Mr Wyatt said we have to practise outside of school."
"Kon get serious why would I want to spend extra time then I have to with you?" Kai asked brutally honest.
"Hiwatari stop being an ass for once and listen. I know you may think you are rich enough to get into any college you want but I want to get into drama school which I need good grades for and I need that for this project," Rei sighed.
"Do you mean to say that you need my help," Kai said smugly.
"Yes Hiwatari I'm saying I need you to work with me on this," Rei growled.
"No."
"What?"
"You heard me I won't help you. Why should I after everything you ever did to me?" Rei seemed to be fighting an inner battle.
"Fine. You win I'm sorry ok? I'm sorry about everything I've ever done or said to you and I promise I will never be mean to you again. Now will you help me?" Rei asked again.
"When you say it like that the answers still no. You followed me today Kon and that's one thing I hate to be followed now if you don't mind I'll be going home," with that Kai walked to his motorbike and put on his black helmet. He started the engine and as it roared to life he turned and saw Rei walking home. Kai frowned. He had thought Rei would have a car or at least one of his friends should have waited. He frowned should he give him a lift or not?
Authors Note: Well there you go. Should Kai give Rei a lift home or not? Should Kai start practicing with Rei or let him suffer for a bit? How was this chapter was it too fast? Too slow please tell me what you think it helps me greatly.
Now to answer you lot:
StarrynightObsession: Thank you so much for your review! I loved reading it! Yes it is freaky but we are two completely different people so they will be completely different. Thank you for your review and this chapter isn't that funny I know and I feel it's a bit too fast moving but hoped you liked it anyway.
AthleticBluefire: Thanks for your review I know some people don't like Yaoi fics so don't worry I'll put up at the beginning of the chapter if there is going to be a kissing scene. Don't worry though they won't kiss for a couple of chapters and if it is it will be in character and they'll still argue.
Autumnburn: Yes-sorry Rei isn't really big headed but he has to act a certain way because he is the leader of the school the most popular guy and so he has to act a certain way. Don't worry more of the Rei we all know and love will appear.
Angela-R.K: Thanks for your review sorry if this was too fast I went with the flow of the music and Dir En Grey is pretty fast.
Reanimeangel: thanks for your review I'm glad you liked it.
