Chapter Three: Rivalry
Kai stood in front of the door. It was time for Kiara to leave. "Must you leave me," he asked barely above a whisper. She nodded sadly and said, "My compan...I mean, my brother, Boom, is waiting for me." "Boom," Kai asked. What kind of name is that? "Boom is just a nickname if that's what you're thinking. His real name is Tala. We just call him Boom, because he wrecks anything and everything that he wants. Well, knowing him...he'll want me back immediately," she explained. Kai gave her one last hug and said, "Be careful, okay?" She nodded and kissed him on the cheek. She released herself and waved, "goodbye," to everyone. "Bye, guys," she said. She blew a kiss at Kai and ran off.
"So Kai..." Kai was in the doorway for a while. He turned around and saw Tyson with an evil grin. "What do you want, Tyson? She's already mine," he said playfully. Tyson looked at Max, then Kenny, and then Kai. He, all of the sudden, yelled, "Dog pile!" Everybody jumped ontop of Kai. "Hey, man! That's not cool," said Max as he felt Tyson ontop of him. Tyson asked, "Did we get him?" "Nope," said Kai. Tyson turned around to find Kai a couple of feet away, actually. Kai laughed, for the first time in a while, he LAUGHED. "Whoa," said Kenny. "Think of the percentage of possibilty of that!" Tyson looked at Kenny underneath Max and said, "I've never thought about that before, and don't intend to." Max laughed nervously and said, "We're having nice time and all, but..." He paused. Then letting out a huge yell,"...COULD YOU GET OFF!" Tyson fell over from astonishment. Max laughed as he rose from Kenny. "Great! My back's gonna hurt for a while now, Tyson," yelled Max.
Kai walked back into his room and closed the door. He turned around to face bed. Unexpectedly, he saw Rei just sitting there. Kai looked at Rei and asked, "Hey man. What's up?" Kai noticed something in his tone of voice. He was...happy. This is something totally weird, he thought. Rei looked up at Kai with tears.Kai looked at him shocked. Why's he crying? Did I do something?...AGAIN, Kai thought. Rei smiled and asked out of the blue, "You love her, don't you?" Kai looked at his friend. He saw sadness and anger all at the same time emitting from the strange boy. Kai nodded solemnly. "Yeah, I guess I do," Kai replied. Rei smiled, but Kai could tell that this smile was forced, not a normal smile. "Why do you care," Kai asked, getting cold and distant again. Rei laughed to himself and said under his breath, "I've always cared about you, Kai. You just don't see it." Even if Kai weren't meant to hear it, he did. He could hear it easily in the silent room. Kai said, "Well, why do you?" Rei looked at Kai and said, "I...don't know. Maybe I'm jealous now. Maybe I...love you, Kai." Rei searched for the slightest clue of affection in Kai's face, but all he saw was shock. Rei nodded, admitting defeat. He passed the shocked Kai and held the doorknob in his hand. He felt that there was more to say, but he couldn't utter one word. Finally, he found his voice, "I...I am TRULY...sorry, Kai. I shouldn't have thought such. After all, gays are being treated worse each day. I was stupid. But don't worry about me. Just tell the others that I went out for a walk." Rei turned around, hoping to see Kai face one more time. Kai was still turned around in shock. Lo...ve? Love? Rei nodded to himself one last time and said, "Goodbye, Kai." He opened the door and left, closing the door behind him.
Kai fell to the floor as the door closed. "Love," he thought aloud. "Rei and me? But...Kiara.." he rose and decided to go for a walk himself. Maybe he could find somebody that won't become part of the problem. He opened his door and found everybody...gone. He was left alone, once more. He grabbed his scarf and wrapped it around him. Time to go, he thought. He opened the door and closed it behind him. Cold breeze flew by him. He looked around, but couldn't find one single window open. He shrugged it off and went to the elevator. Something told him to steer clear of the elevator though. He just got a chill when he pressed the button. He decided to go down by stairs. As he reached the door, he heard the small ding of the elevator. Run, Kai, a voice told him. He nodded and kind of remembered the voice. He ran down the stairs. Not exactly why, but he just did. Good, Kai. Now go to the place where you first met Kiara, the voice directed. What are you doing, he asked the voice in his head. You'll see, the voice answered. Kai ran all the way to the tree where she had fell ontop of him. He ran the memory over and over in her head. "What are you doing with that KAI," he heard behind the tree. "We're in love Boom! You can't stop that," another voice said. KIARA, Kai thought. The voice came again, Not just yet, Kai. Kai heard a bang on the tree and thought, Then when? He ran to where he heard the voices. "Stop it," Kai yelled. "Leave her alone!" He looked at the boy in fright. Tala? Tala let go of Kiara and glared at Kai. "Now Kai gets his voice," Tala snickers. Kai punches Tala straight in the face without thinking. Tala stumbles back, but doesn't fall. Kiara gets between the both of them and yells, "Stop! Both of you!" Kai puts his quivering fist down. He sinks to the ground and says, "I'm sorry, Kiara." Tala looks shocked at Kai. "So the lone wolf DOES have a heart! And, who would've thought, for my sister," he said. Kiara glared at Tala, "Shut up, Boom!" Tala laughs and turns away. "Good luck, sis. He maybe a sign of bad luck," Tala said as he walked off.
Kiara kneeled down to Kai and said, "He's my stepbrother. I'm sorry about him." Kai shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have punched him." Kiara changed the subject, "How did you find me?" Kai looked at the sky and said, "I heard...a voice. She sounded like you, sort of." Then Kai remembered something that Kiara had said, "She's my..inner soul or so it seems." Kai smiled and said, "I think that it was...Ice Angel." Kiara smiled and said, "Thanks to her, I get to do this again." She pushed herself on Kai and started a passionate kiss. Secretly though, Rei was in the tree watching them. He had little tears stream down his face and hit the bark. "Kai..."
