I felt warm hands holding me and I imagined it was Rei. The hands let go of my arms that they were holding above my head as my breathing rate returned to almost normal, letting them fall to my sides. One hand went to my chest and started patting it, soothing me and making me breathe deeper and slower. I tried to open my eyes but having an asthma attack is so exhausting. And the warm stroking hand was so soothing.... Why don't I just lie here and sleep....

I got splashed in the face by water. My eyes flow open and I sat up, choking on water. My nose hurt from the liquid that entered it and my eyes stung. "Shit!" I cursed.

"What the..!! Tachi! I said spray it on HIM!! Not ME! I'm awake enough!! Damn!" Another voice shouted. It sounded very familiar... and did I just hear the name 'Tachi'?

"Oops... sorry." came a meek apology.

I opened my eyes to look at the two boys in front of me. The very first person I saw was the same person I wanted to choke just five minutes ago -- Uesugi Tachi. I then glanced at the other boy who still had his arms around me and was staring at me with a bemused expression, the guy of all my dreams and fantasies -- Izumi Rei. Or so it seems.

'Rei' stood up and dusted himself off, cast a couple of glares at Uesugi who was scratching the back of his head apologetically. 'Rei' glanced at me, still staring open-mouthed (and almost drooling at the now semi-transparent white school uniform that tuck to his body) and seeing that I was alright he said to Tachi, "Let's go." Tachi handed 'Rei' his bag and picked up his own. There was something in 'Rei's' eyes that I could not see. A look I could not decipher. I never saw Rei look like that before. It made him look more... attractive, to make it simple.

They both started to exit. My mind wasn't registering as I stood up and took a step after them.

"Rei!" I shouted. Tachi snapped his head around, mild curiosity in his eyes while 'Rei' just stopped in mid-step but didn't turn. Tachi looked back and forth between me and the dark-haired boy. Realization suddenly dawned on him and he laughed. My gaze, focused on 'Rei' before snapped to him. What is he laughing at? 'Rei's' shoulder seemed to tense as Tachi's laughter ceased. I waited for him to catch his breath.

"Haha..This...He isn't Rei." Tachi said, motioning towards the boy standing next to him. Huh? That damn Tachi is mad. Did he not even recognise his own friend?

"What do you mean that's not Rei? Are you blind?" I asked, not having any favouritism towards the Uesugi family. Tachi stifled a giggle. 'Rei', I noticed, head bowed, tensed even more as Tachi cast he a cautious glance.

"This is isn't Rei. This is his long-lost twin brother, Kyo. Ne, Kyo-kun." The red-head bristled at being called by the pet name. "Let's just get the hell out of here. Dammit." To say I was shocked was an understatement. Not Rei? Twin brother? Kyo? I was confused. Damn confused.

"Kyo?" I uttered for no particular reason at all. He stopped in mid-step again. Never have I, in all my entire life have I been so mixed-up. I wanted to tell, scratch that, SCREAM at Tachi to stop kidding right now. But the way Rei, excuse me, Kyo, no....the way the chocolate-haired, totally gorgeous guy was acting told me he wasn't kidding at all. Somehow that chilled me to the bone. "When did Rei have a twin?"

Tachi rolled his eyes. "Hopeless. Did I not mention the word 'Long-lost'?" I continued to stare at the increasingly tensing shoulders of Kyo. It made a little sense, yet at the same time, none at all. Tachi smirked and looked at me.

"Hey, aren't you the Fujiyama-guy who has a huge crush on Rei?" Now I was hit like a ton of bricks as I satred at Tachi. How the heck....

"H..How did you know?" If Uesugi knew… That means Rei knows too! My heart lifted and dropped at the same time, it that was ever possible. Tachi smirked again. "Who wouldn't?" My mouth dropped.

"You, my friend, are so obvious a blind person could see it. But I do have to warn you.." Tachi carefully looked at Kyo who looked up to glare at him but Tachi looked back at me, undeterred. "Kyo doesn't like anyone touching his dear little twin brother." I looked at Kyo. He looked like he was about to explode then. At the back of my head I wondered how a person could look so good and yet so dangerous at the same time. He was piercing daggers through Tachi with his eyes. Immediately Tachi knew danger was coming and ran out the door and for his precious life. Kyo was about to chase after him when I stopped him again, a highly dangerous act if I had been in the right mind at that moment.

"Kyo?" He turned his glare upon me and I winced visibly. He has the same eyes as Rei. "What?" he snapped back.

"..." Damn he didn't know what to say. He didn't even know why he stopped him. "Do you really mind?" I felt like digging my grave right there and then and burying myself. Kyo stared at me for a while longer. I bowed my head and did not dare meet his eyes. Finally he spoke.

"Even if I did I don't think you would stop. But I will not allow you to get him. Be sure of that."

I finally looked up to meet his glare with one determined and daring of my own. "I'll see you try."

The staring contest went on for a few more seconds. Just when I thought I was about to pull out a white flag and beg for mercy Kyo muttered a "Tch", turned and walked out of the door. My eyes didn't leave to doorway for a while but finally I collapsed to the floor, exhausted. Too many things had happened today. Too much new mind-shattering (at least to me) info and to top it all off, I had an asthma attack. I was about to pass out soon but I had to get home first. So I dragged my aching body up and ordered it to get its butt out of there and back home. I'll think about all of this later.
