Rei quietly walked up the stairs and turned down the left corridor and stopped outside Bryan's room. He knocked at the door but no one answered. After a few seconds he knocked again, this time a bit louder than before. He lust barely managed to jump out of the way as the door was flung open and Bryan appeared in the doorway glaring at him. The Russian growled at him and narrowed his eyes dangerously but Rei didn't even flinch. Actually had he started to get used to Bryans glares and death threats so it didn't bother him that much.
"What do you want?" Bryan hissed through clenched teeth not wanting to bother with anyone at the moment. "Talk," Rei answered innocently giving the Russian his best kitty eyes. When the other didn't make a move he shrugged and walked passed him into the room. There wasn't much in it, just a bed pushed up against the far wall, a drawer beside it, a small lamp standing on top of the drawer and a small carpet on the floor. Just like the neko-jin clan the Sharks couldn't afford much. As the thought of his friends crossed his mind Rei shivered slightly, it wasn't that he didn't want so see his friends. No, it was because of Lee that he had waited this long to go back. They probably thought he was dead or something.
Rei was pulled out of his thoughts as Bryan cleared his throat. "You said you wanted to talk so talk."
"Nice room." Rei knew it was lame but he could not come up with anything better at the moment. Bryan snorted and crossed his arms over his chest, just like Kai always did. Guess they are rubbing of on each other´ the neko-jin thought smiling slightly. "Okay, lets go straight to the point then. I know you don't like me Bryan, and I don't blame you. You have no good reason to like or trust me just like I don't have any reasons to trust you eider. But I am willing to try for us to be friends, at least accept being in the same room as each other."
"So you're ready to put everything behind and start from the beginning? Just like that?" the Russian asked staring at him. The neko-jin only nodded praying for Bryan to accept the offer. It was quiet in the room for a long time; Rei had almost given up hope when the other suddenly spoke up. "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try. If you don't bother me I won't bother you. Deal?" For a moment Rei only stared at the outstretched hand before him. But then he came back to his senses and shook it gently, accepting it. Then he left the room and walked back downstairs. He was met by two curious teens looking at him with wide eyes. "What?" he asked when their stares started to become annoying. "You're alive," stated Tala as if it was some kind of miracle. Kai went over and gave his kitten a hug nuzzling his neck lovingly. "Of course I am. Bryan doesn't really bite as long you don't piss him of to much."
"What ever. Come now Rei you and I are going out for a while," said Kai leading the other over to the door. "Where are we going?"
"I believe you have some things to explain to your friends"
"Oh, come on! Not now, please Kai not today!"
"Yes today! Or else you're never going to do it. You just keep avoiding it"
Rei sighed and bowed his head mumbling under his breath. "Okay" he said following Kai out the door.
Quietly they started to walk down the street avoiding all people, as many as possible anyway.
Rei took them to the neko-jins hiding place in less than five minutes. Kai swallowed as he opened the door stepping inside moving so Kai could follow. It was deadly silent in the room, all eyes where resting on them. "Look! What did I tell you! He's a traitor!" It was Lee who yelled that. He was stood on top of a box pointing at them. A gasp was heard followed by a horrified scream.
"REI HOW COULD YOU!"
"Mariah please calm down and let me explain"
"I AM CALM!"
Rei sighed again taking a step towards the hysteric girl. Kai stayed by the door, which meant he was the one closest to the escape if they decided to attack. Mariah was fuming with rage, she obviously was pissed of and it was no a pretty sight.
"Mariah please let me explain."
"What is there to explain Rei! You were the one that taught us to stay away from people like HIM!" she angrily pointed a shaking finger at Kai and bared her fangs in anger.
"Yes, I know I taught you that, but I was wrong. Do you really want to live in a world where the only thing that matter is whether you kill or get killed? I know I don't. That's why we have decided to end this madness right now."
The pink-haired neko-jin stood with her fists clenched and her whole body shaking. Her burning eyes where fixed on Kai who calmly stood by the door observing the situation.
"So that's why you decided to throw your self in the arms of our enemy. Is that your payment to get peace? To let him fuck you? Man Rei, I thought you was stronger than that!"
Someone sneered from the back of the room and the next second Lee stepped out into the open glaring at Rei. His eyes wandered over to the shark and then back again.
"Lee," hissed Rei taking a step towards the other. Slowly he felt the fear creeping back into his body, making his limbs freeze and his whole being start to shake. But he angrily shook it of concentrating on the neko-jin in front of him. Okay, Lee had raped him but Rei had always been the stronger of the two and now he was going to prove it. Lee snickered when he saw the anger and fear fighting for dominance in Reis eyes.
"What's the matter Rei? Are you scared of me? I thought we were brothers. Wasn't that what you always kept on nagging about? How important brotherhood was? And you betrayed me, your closest brother, for him." Anger welled up in Kai when he heard the brown-haired neko-jin talk about Rei like that. Crimson eyes turned to Rei and he noticed that the tiger was shaking even if he tried to hide it. Swiftly he walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze of support.
"I'm here for you," he whispered in the raven-haired teens ear. "It was Lee, Lee raped me," whispered Rei back as his now burning golden eyes locked with Lees.
"You're not my brother Lee. Brothers don't rape each other!"
Several gasps could bee heard around the room as everyone turned their eyes upon the now fuming neko-jin. "How dare you accuse me for doing something like that! I would never do that! Especially not to you! I love you as a brother Rei nothing else!"
"Lets take this outside Lee, I don't want to break anything in here."
Soon everyone was standing outside watching the two neko-jins that was giving each others death glares. At this point Kai started to get worried. Rei hadn't healed completely after his last meeting with Lee and a fight wouldn't help much. "Rei!" he called making the raven-haired look over to him.
"Come here, I wanna talk to you." A slightly irritated neko came stomping over to him while ignoring Lees treating comments. "What is it Kai. I wanna beat him and I wanna beat him now!"
"I now. I just wanna tell you to be careful, you haven't recovered since that day and I just don't want you to get hurt." A small smile crept onto Reis face and he leaned up to give Kai a small peck on the lips. Lee pulled a disgusted face and looked like he was going to throw up any minute.
"Are you done yet? I don't wanna stand here all day."
Growling Rei walked back to the other and prepared himself for a fight, it would be tough but he wouldn't let that bastard get away with what he did. As time seemed to stop the crowd that was forming around the two became smaller. Without warning Lee launched himself at Rei who managed to dodge the attack. Because they had been training together as kids they knew each and every one of each other's moves, which wasn't leading anywhere. No one could get a hold of the other so the fight seemed to be standing still. Panting they stood there glaring at each other not moving an inch. That is until Kai stepped forward with a determined look in his eyes. Calmly he walked over to the raven-haired neko-jin to whisper in his ear. Nodding Rei stepped back and allowed Kai to take the place he had been standing in, Lee looked slightly surprised at the change of plans on Reis part. Kai took his time to prepare for the upcoming fight as he stretched and took of his jacket and shirt showing of his muscular chest and arms. Whispers went through the crowd as the two started to circle each other waiting for the right time t attack.
Just as the first time Lee attacked first. Kicks and punches were thrown but none of them was backing down. Kai hissed in pain when Lee managed to scratch his right upper arm. For revenge Kai kicked the neko-jin in the ribs and several cracks could be heard, Lee fell down on one knee clutching his ribcage. "Give up Lee, you don't stand a chance. You have at least four broken ribs. You can't fight with that," said Kai stopping in his attacks to look at the other who was still on the ground. Anger and embarrassment was showing in Lees yellow eyes when he turned them towards his enemy and then to Rei who was now standing by Kais side. "He's right Lee, you can't win," mumbled Rei staring at the fallen teen who he had once called brother. "You're pathetic Rei. You can't even stand up for your self. And you're not even a good fuck," the last part was hissed in a low tone for only Kai and Rei to hear before the hurt neko-jin struggled to stand up. "I swear I will get my revenge!" he yelled and then limped passed Kai and Rei. When he was beside the shark he stopped and spitted on the ground in front of him. But it looked as if Kai didn't notice that he was even beside him, he just kept on staring towards the sky.
When Lee was finally out of sight Rei turned towards the others in his gang. Mariah was still looking quite shocked and her hand was resting on Kevin's shoulder for support.
"Is it true?" the question was coming from Mariah and her yellow cat eyes rested on her leaders form. "Did he really rape you?"
"Yes, he did." Rei mumbled the answer in such a low voice that the others almost couldn't hear him. The pink-haired girl raised a hand to his cheek and lightly strokes it in a friendly way. "I'm sorry Rei. You were right about that bastard all the time but I never listened to you. I'm very sorry!"
Tears sprang to her eyes and she quickly withdrawn her hand to wipe them away.
"It's all right, I understand. You're my sister Mariah and I love you. Now you can all do whatever you want with your life, if you want to stay here than do so but I won't be living here anymore. I'm moving in with Kai and the sharks."
Kais arm sneaked around his slim waist as he said that and he rested his head on the Russians shoulder with a small sigh. Mariah nodded slowly her pink locks flying in the breeze.
"I think I'll be staying here for some time, then maybe I'll go look for a job. Who knows, people might have changed their minds when it comes to neko-jins," she said with a smile. The other neko-jins started to head back inside as rain started to fall from the dark sky.
After they had said bye to everyone Rei and Kai started to head back to the sharks place the rain soaking through their clothes. "So you really wanna stay with me then?"
Golden eyes looked up to meet with warm crimson ones. He nodded, black bangs flying around his face while some of his hair was plastered to his wet forehead. Kai suddenly stopped to pull Rei closer and placed a hot kiss on his rosy lips. "Good, then lets go home kitten."
