Chapter 4: True Sorrow

"Yes, sir," Tala said while kneeling on the ground. He was in a dark castle's king chambers. "Good, Tala. I trust that you'll please me like all the rest. We need that bit beast," a strange figure said. Tala replied, "Yes, sir." Tala rose and gave one last bow to the figure and left. "Oh, and Tala!" Tala turned around to hear, "Tell Kai that Voltaire sends his best wishes." Tala nodded and left.

Kiara's laughing was heard in the park as the two lovers walked through it. Kiara replied, "Tyson...he's an interesting person, huh?" Kai looked at her with worry and asked, "Why? Do you...like him?" Kiara shook her head and said, "No, I was just saying. He seems like a good friend. Oh, and what about that Rei fellow? He was nice." Kai couldn't, but feel guilty when he heard Rei's name. It felt like his heart froze when he thought about Rei crying. "Yeah, he is," Kai said. Kiara smiled and looked at a tree nearby. She winked at it before Kai noticed. As they passed by, Rei came out from hiding. How did she know that I was there, Rei thought. Because I told her, a voice said to Rei. Rei, out of shock, lost his balance and fell to the ground with a great THUD. Rei rose from the ground and rubbed his head in pain. "Ow...that REALLY hurt," he said. "What do you expect?" Rei stood up and turned around. There was Kiara and Kai, standing together. Rei noticed that they were both smiling, but he saw guilt in Kai's eyes. He noticed a trait between the two that sickened him, though. They were holding hands. He turned away and said, "I told you to not worry about me." Kai shook his head, even though Rei couldn't see him, "No. You're my friend. I HAVE to worry about you. It's already engraved into my head. And Dranzer's." Rei laughed and said, "Since when are you so close to your bit beast. Like you said before bit beasts are only tools to win." "Yeah, but Kiara brightened my life. You should know that damn well, now," Kai said. Kiara looked at the two worriedly. She looked at Rei and saw sorrow. "Kai...," she couldn't finish. It hurt her enough just looking at Rei's tear stained cheeks. She turned around and said, "I'll leave you two."

Silence was between the two for what seemed like forever. "Rei...I'm...sorry," Kai finally said. Rei turned his head slowly to view Kai's cold eyes. No matter how warm and kind he turned out to be, his eyes were still very cold. Rei stutterd out, "It's...o-okay." "No, it's not. I can see in your eyes that it's not," Kai replied. Rei turned completely around at Kai in shock. "Yeah, well...life goes on," Rei said. Kai nodded and said, "Yeah, it does. I just don't want you hurt, ok? You ARE my friend, right?" Rei nodded and said, "Yeah. I just wish that we were more." Kai looked sadly at Rei and watched as Rei ran off. He looked down only to see small wet circles embedded into the snow. "Rei...I'm really sorry."

Rei ran faster and faster. Puffs of breathe escaped into the cold as he ran. No! Why, Kai? Why does my heart hurt so much! Why? Rei ran faster until he bumped into somebody. He fell onto the hard concrete. "Excuse me," he said as he got up again and started running again. Suddenly, he bumped into the person again. "May I help you," he asked, hiding his face. "Yeah, Rei. You can." He looked up to see Tala. "What do you want? You tried to hurt Kai and Kiara!" No matter how much I hate to think it, Kiara's a good person. Kai diserves a girl like her, he thought as he said those harsh words. "No, I didn't. I only warned Kai and Kiara. I would never hurt them. But I was wondering..." Tala rubbed the tears away from Rei's face and continued, "...if you'd go out with me tonight." Rei was about to fall over from shock. Tala...another gay? No, not Tala. He had loads of girls that loved him. But then again, so did Rei . "Why," Rei choked out. Tala laughed and said, "Well, obviously, I like you." He licked Rei's cheek and said, "At least...I think that it's obvious." Rei finally found someone. Or at least he thought. "Sure, that would be great," was his only reply.

Tala smiled and took his hand, "Good." Tala started dragging him gently toward the airport. "I have a private jet that we can take. It's a seret so don't even think about asking," Tala said. He seems as if he's forcing me..., Rei thought. "Okay," Rei said uneasily. Tala turned around and looked at Rei with a fake look of worry, "Are you okay? I'm sorry that I'm being pushy. It's just that I've planned this for a while. Please forgive me." Rei smiled and nodded at Tala, "Of course." Tala smiled and thought, Great. Now Voltaire will love this. Get Rei and then battle Kai. Kai will lose and then I'll challenge Kiara. And then..the finale! Tala made a slight chuckle. Rei blushed and asked, "What?" Tala looked at him, hiding his shock. "You're just so cute," he said. Rei blushed even more.

They finally reached airport. Rei was watching the whole time how Tala held his hand. "Flight 22. Flight 22, please report at Area 4," the intercom said. Tala began to run. Rei ran as well until finally they found the private jet. Tala and Rei ran into the path and into the jet. Rei and Tala sat in the front row and began to laugh. They acted as if it was the last flight ever. Tala looked deep into Rei's eyes. Let's make this interesting... He got closer to Rei and asked in a whisper, "Can I kiss you?" Rei blushed and nodded. Tala smiled and placed his lips on Rei's mouth. Rei felt his tongue swarm around into his mouth with great force. Suddenly, Tala moved away and said, "I'll be in the bathroom." When Tala left he looked at the mirror and spat all of the rest of Rei's saliva away. Rei wasn't aware of anything. He was just sitting there, dazed. He still felt sad about Kai. He walked to the back to get a drink. Kai's smirk ran through his head. He felt like falling, but propped himself against the wall in the hallway. He began to cry soft tears. Kai?...Why did you have to leave me?

Kai was looking at the sky as a jet flew over. Something told him that the jet was something very important, but he ignored it. The only thoughts that were active were, Rei...I'm sorry. But I love Kiara...I'm VERY sorry.
