Not so Friendly Friendly Match

How are you all faring so far? Well, Kano now knows that Rei is her brother, but does Rei know he has a sister…Read on…Kano


Chapter4-Falling apart at the seams

Rei sat in the common room reading an old book he'd found among the newspapers that he was sure he'd read when he last stayed at the hotel. Though he wasn't really interested in its contents he attempted to look engrossed as Tyson, Kenny, Max and the three members of the Eternity Knights that where at the hotel entered the room. Although he didn't show it he was worried about Kai and felt uneasy being in the hotel they were staying in. Much had happened here only two years ago.

"Heya Rei! What'ya reading?" Max asked bouncing happily onto a chair.

"Hu?" Rei looked up and closed the book. "Oh, not much, you can read it if you want."

"Nah, 's ok." Max said, rejecting Rei's offer. "You o-."

"Blank! Give…me…it!" Max and Rei looked around to see Izzy jumping up and down trying to get a gold chain from Blank. The two members of the Eternity Knights had almost matching blue hair. Blank wore a bright Hawaiian shirt and black baggies; Izzy wore Egyptian looking top skirt and belt.

"Ah-ha!" Izzy yelled triumphantly as she retrieved the chain and clipped it around her slender neck. "Mmmm!" She stuck her tongue out at Blank.

"Whatever!" Blank sneered then went to sit with Kenny and Tyson who were discussing tactics.

Izzy and the other boy, Drako, who had been very quiet and restrained, went to sit with Max and Rei. Izzy sat herself down beside Max.

"Hey I erm…got off on the wrong foot earlier, I was um…stoned." Izzy smiled. "Let me start again…I'm Ishimu Murasaki Imo…or Izzy!" Izzy held her hand out for Max to shake.

"It's ok!" Max laughed. "I'm Max Tate, pleased to meet you…again!" Max shook Izzy's hand cheerfully.

"Fuck this!" Everyone jumped as Kano entered the room.

"Kano, what's wrong?" Izzy asked innocently as Kano leaned against the wall beside the door.

"Nothing!" Kano snapped, glowered at Rei.

"Erm…" Rei shifted his stare to the book he'd placed on the table.

"Guys we need to talk." Kano left the room, the rest of her team following.

"What was that all about?" Kenny asked in shock.

"Rei we need to talk about something!" Kai entered the room then left as quickly, Rei in tow.

"Erm…ok…Does somebody want to explain…what the hell's going on here!" Tyson bust once Kai and Rei were out of earshot.

"Tyson, I wish I knew." Max said quietly.


"Kano. Me and the boys have this theory…" Izzy said on sitting on her bed. Kano had led the team to Izzy's and her own room.

"Wait! I have to tell you guys something." Kano said, the fury in her spent.

"Go on then…" Drako said quietly, looking curiously across at Kano who sat beside Blank on her bed.

"Rei Kon of the Bladebreakers is my brother."


"What!?" Rei could no longer hold in his shock.

"It's true, Kai said bluntly, leaning against the door.

Rei looked nervously around the room in search for an answer. It was basically furnished room; a bed, which he was sat on, a white washed cupboard and bedside table, a TV set and a table. No answers came from any of these so Rei looked back to Kai.

"How come you know this and I don't?" He asked quietly. Kai stirred as though he'd been sleeping.

"My grandfather told me…Kano grew up in the abbey with me…I never told her until about twenty minutes ago…" Kai fell silent, deciding he didn't want to talk about his past.

"Oh…why didn't you tell her before?"

"I didn't want…I really don't want to talk about it." Kai said, a sharpness entering his words.

"Kai, we promised no secrets…" Rei questioned.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Kai snapped.

"Why are you hiding this from me?" Rei's voice rose slightly.

"Why are you pushing the matter?" Kai asked angrily.

"Oh…" Rei smiled. "Yeah…I see. So I was just your whore until she came back to you, hu? Guess it was even more convenient that she was my sister!" Rei stood up, his voice raised to a shout.

"It wasn't like that! What we had is over." Kai said, whispering in contrast to Rei.

"Yeah, well, what we had is over too now!" Rei grabbed his bag and jacket from beside the bed then left the room, shoving Kai out of the way and slamming the door behind him.


Fight, fight, fight! Just joking. Well, Rei didn't take that too well. You'll have to wait until the next chapter until next chapter to find out what the Eternity Knights' reaction will be. Remember to R&R. Kano
