Behind Amber Eyes
Chapter 2
Rei had long since stepped into the plane and was on his way to Japan this very moment but when he did step onto the plane it was chaos. Complete and utter chaos. Ok…so he got first class….but not alone…Mr.Dickenson usually buys the entire first class area for the bladebreakers but buying it all for one person is a bit overdoing it.…and that caused a problem.
-Flashback-
Rei was making his way to his seat seeing as it was number 1 it was very very easy to locate, but he had to walk across every single other seat to get there. Well, that wasn't going to be a problem right? Wrong.
A girl came squealing out of her seat and bounded up to his side the moment she saw him. She attached herself to his arm and began rambling.
"O MY GOSH!….You're Rei Kon from the BLADEBREAKERS! I can't beclieve it! MY DREAM COME TRUE! CanI have your autograph! OOO! Sign my shirt! NO NO NO Sign my-" Rei sweatdropped, couldn't this happen another day? Why today? Why does this girl have to be on this flight!
Rei tried desperately to get out of her grip but she only squeezed harder making his arm turn a light shade of blue. However that was only a minor problem. Her squealing and his struggling got the attention of the other attendants and a crowd-started gathering. Luck was not on his side today. As more people gathered…more people recognized him and the more that they recognized him, the more people tried to hog him to themselves.
Kami help me! Rei was starting to get dizzy and he really wished he never stepped foot onto this plane. By now the girls were playing a bit of tug-o-war with him and it wasn't pretty.
"Alright everyone! CALM DOWN! We need to get this flight going and we would appreciate it if you would all take your seats!" The flight attendant came in with some men seemingly the security guards. He soon found out however that they were bodyguards sent by the Mr. Dickenson to help keep him out of trouble. The men came and pried the girls off him…his arm had thankfully not been bruised. A miracle.
Yeah…NOW they come.
The old couples were all murmuring about the 'poor boy' while the younger generation was either looking at him with jealousy or lust. Either of which, Rei was too busy tending to his arm to notice.
-End Flashback-
Sighing he looked from the window he was facing to the five men who came to his rescue. They were all wearing black suits with a white dress shirt and black tie as well as the traditional sunglasses. Typical.
One man was sitting next to him on the seat facing the isle as to assure he doesn't get attacked again. The others were sitting behind him. He silently thanked kami for answering his call.
Well…I might as well get some sleep….I'm gonna be there soon so a little nap will do me some good….I don't want to get jet-lag.
He looked out the window and fell asleep leaning against it. He'd have more important things to deal with when he woke up then to deal with petty fan-girls or fan-guys for that matter…and one of those things included a two toned, blue haired baka. With that he fell into a quite peaceful slumber.
Great…just great…I'm stuck in a room with losers.
Kai was leaning against the wall of the office in Mr. Dickenson's room waiting to hear the news that he had while the two idiots talk about food and sugar. You can pretty much guess who's talking about what considering you only have two options…and they're basically obvious, and well…Kenny's doing his usual stuff…sticking his face in his laptop.
"MAN I'm HUNGRY!" Tyson whined with his usual annoying voice.
"Well so am I Tyson! I want some sugar but you don't see me complaining!"
"SOOO? That's you! Who cares what you want…I only care what I want!" Tyson stuck his tongue out to Max while Max put on his puppy dog pout. Tyson wasn't fazed in the least. He's seen that look way too many times to not know how to resist it.
"OHOHohoHO! That don't work on me anymore Maxie!" Tyson put on a grin. The door slammed open making Tyson fall backwards from where he was. Butt high in the air.
Did I say losers? My bad…they're wretched little idiots. Kai turned from the ruckus and tried to ignore them.
"Hello dudes! You guys all set for the airport?" Kai razed his head with a confused look on his face. The airport? Seeing the confused look on all their faces a light bulb suddenly lit in his head.
"OOOOO….I see…Mr. Dickenson didn't tell you yet….where's the old coot anyway?"
"The old coot is right behind you." Mr. Dickenson said with a light chuckle.
"O hey Dickenson! Didn't see ya there! Hurry up and get in before the lil man fries his brain trying to figure out what he doesn't know yet." Of course he was referring to Tyson so Kai decided to stay out of this.
"HEY! What's that mean grandpa?"
"IT means how it sounds lil dude." Before long Tyson was dodging blows from his grandpa's bokken while they run around….breaking things. Hmph. Morons.
"Please everyone will you please calm down. We have a tight schedule…so please let me tell you what's going on first ok?" Everyone stopped what they were doing. Kai wasn't doing anything to begin with so it was quite easy for him.
"Alright then." Mr. Dickenson sat down in his desk situated in the center of the back of the room while the others came to stand by his desk. "Well let's see…I did tell you all that the tournament will be in 2 months or so correct?" A series of nods were done.
"I also told you that Rei will come back to us 1 month before the tournament right?" Again with the nods. "Well it seems some unexpected….surprises came up….." Kai narrowed his crimson eyes. He hated surprises. "….and Rei will be joining us later today."
Kai froze. Rei… Kai lowered his head in shame. He'd known he'd have to face Rei sooner or later but not this soon. His fight with Rei still plagued him. He couldn't get that hurt expression out of his mind. He was still feeling extremely guilty and it even gave him a need to apologize….but no matter how much he tried…Rei wouldn't talk to him. Rei had totally ignored him the rest of that week. He was also feeling a bit pained. He didn't know why. It just…hurt.
Flashback-
Rei was walking down a corridor and stopped when Kai came to stand in front of him. Kai stared at Rei. He wanted desperately to apologize, but just when he was about to open his mouth…Rei turned around and walked back down the corridor, leaving Kai, mouth open in a gape. Rei had turned a cold shoulder on him and it hurt. It really…hurt.
What's wrong with me…I don't need to apologize to that idiot…he started this fight anyhow! Kai looked up to see that Rei had disappeared. Kai sighed and shook his head. He'll have to apologize next time.
End Flashback-
No matter how many times he had tried…Rei would either just walk away or make a snide comment. Kai was frustrated. He was being bothered by this more then he should be, and he didn't think he'd want to know why. Though the day Rei left on the plane was even more painful. Each of the blade breakers got to say their goodbyes…and Kai was going to be the last to do so.
Flashback-
It was Kai's turn to say goodbye and the others had left a while back and he just stood before Rei. Rei frowned the moment Max was done with his goodbyes and farewell gifts and frowned even deeper when Kai stepped up. Rei just stared at him…none said a word…and both ignoring the outside world.
"…goodbye Rei…I…I'm…" Kai had his head lowered a bit to keep Rei from seeing his eyes. They were moist…he'd been thinking too much on this. Kai stopped talking for a minute and let his eyes dry and then looked up. Rei was silent. Too silent. Rei hadn't uttered a comment and he was already dreading to hear what he had to say…even if he might not say a thing.
Rei turned on his heels in a circular motion and grabbed his bags…he'd wanted to hear what Kai had to say…but apparently he doesn't want to say anything more then goodbye Rei…and to him…that sounded awfully a lot like saying… 'I don't want to see you again.'
Rei was hurt to say the least. No one had truly cared about him before in his life time. All thought he was this untouchable god….he was almighty and he would be tainted if someone were to care for him. To taint them with their imperfect figure or imperfect past…the village elders even gave him Drigger instead of giving it to Lee, not because he was a great blader, but because they thought he was perfect…how stupid. Of course he had Mariah…but even she thought he was nothing more then a perfect doll.
When he joined the Bladebreakers he'd thought people were all selfish, but then he found that people really did care. Tyson in his own weird and cocky way and Max in his light personality…Kenny…cared….and even…..Kai cared….or so he dared to think, but he didn't.
Kai was sweating…this wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to apologize….but he didn't. Kai cried out to Rei…he either didn't hear him or totally ignored him. Kai raced up to Rei and cried out a last time.
"REI!" Just before Rei entered the tunnel…he stopped. Rei looked over his shoulder and turned back to face the tunnel.
"What do you want?" Rei's tone was cold…Kai'd never heard such a tone from him and it made him freeze. "Do you not have anything better to do then say my name for fun Kai?"
"Rei…I…" Kai was still too stunned to speak, Rei was acting like…him. He'd never thought how much he'd affect people but seeing Rei do this only made him feel guiltier.
"Rei…I didn't mean what I said last time…we're friends…really…and we're close…I-"
Rei turned around fully his eyes stone hard. Amber orbs boring into Kai's soul…making his insides freeze up once again. "Well some friend you are Kai…o we're close alright…as close as the sun and the earth…if that's what you mean by close." Rei turned and headed in.
"REI! No WAIT! That's not what I meant!" Kai was practically screaming…and no doubt he'd get some looks sent his way but he didn't care. Rei dropped his bags.
"Kai…don't even try that again, it won't work on me…it never has and it never will…and I don't ever want to see you again, even if I had to face you again…well, che'…lets just say…." Rei glanced at Kai. "…you're not worth my time."
With that Rei picked his bags up and left a gawking Kai behind and entered the plane.
End Flashback-
Rei was the best blader on this team besides him…even if Tyson did become the world champ, Rei won his battle too although he ended up getting hurt. That had pained him too. Was that it? Did he only have respect for Rei as a fellow blader? A great blader no doubt…but only as? Or was it because he was a friend? Or more? Kai shook his head…this wasn't going to work itself out. Sigh…
"What do you mean surprises?" Kai had voiced one of the many questions shooting through his head. He didn't want any surprises…and he's always hated them…no matter who they were for.
"…er…um…I can't tell you boys now…Rei will tell you when he's ready."
When he's…ready…? What's that supposed to mean? The answer only caused more questions to rise…and apparently he won't get the satisfactory of knowing the answer.
"YAY! REI"S COMING BACK!" Max was dancing around with Tyson arms locked and going in circles. "Rei's coming Rei's coming YAY Rei's COMING!" The duo ran out to the waiting limo and yelling for Kai to hurry up.
This was going to be a long drive to the airport…
TBC
