A/N: Go ahead, u guys can kill me for not updating. I'm a lazy ass but don't worry I will finish this story. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my story. I really appreciate it. Someone asked me that how can Rei be Kai's rival and bestfriend at the same time, just keep reading and you would understand. You know how Sasuke and Naruto's relationship is that's how Rei and Kai's are except their rivalry isn't as intense and their friendship is much closer.
Chapter 2
"Rei" Kai whispered. What was the raven-haired boy doing here? Suddenly Kai felt himself boil with anger directed towards Rei. Rei hadn't called him, visited him or made any sort of contact with him during the past 4 years. And now he was standing in front of him expecting a warm welcome, well he was in for a surprise. He claimed before he left that Kai was his best friend and that he would never forget him but aren't friends supposed to keep in contact. That liar. But no matter how angry he was right now, he knew that he was happy to see the handsome boy again. He heard Takao ask Rei something.
"Rei, Dude, Is that really you?" Takao asked disbelievingly, looking at the handsome raven-haired boy standing in front him.
"The one and only," That was all Takao needed before he charged himself at Rei. Rei not ready for the impact was knocked from his feet and on to the ground with Takao sprawled on top of him. Rei groaned in pain.
"Takao, Can't Breathe. Suffocating." Rei managed to say from lack of oxygen.
Takao immediately let go of him as he realized that he was practically choking his friend that was currently underneath him. He got up and helped Rei to his feet.
"Damn. Warn me before you try to do that again, will ya." Rei said good-naturedly, gently massaging the nape of his neck.
"Sorry. But I was so happy to see you again, that I sort of lost control of myself, I guess." Takao smiled sheepishly. He couldn't believe that Rei was back. Back to him and Kai.
"That's why I wanted you guys to meet me here early." Hiro said.
"You are telling me that you knew all along that Rei was here and you never told me." Takao glared at Hiro accusingly.
"Of course but I wanted it to be surprise."
Tala looked at Kai closely to see that the blunette's expression filled with a mixture of anger, and surprise. The guy didn't look too happy to see Rei. Maybe they had a fight but what he could gather from his conversations with Rei it seemed that Kai and Rei were really close though Kai was a bit of an ice block. Speaking of Rei, the look in his eyes was one of hurt and sadness even though he had a smile on his face. It was probably because of Kai's cold reaction towards him. He really hated it when Rei was sad and hurt. And right about now he really hated Kai. His chain of thoughts was broken when Takao questioned Kai.
"Hey Kai you know you could be a little more warmer towards Rei since we haven't seen him like in four years." Takao glared at Kai. In his opinion Kai was being a total ass right now.
"Shove it Takao." Kai snapped back. He didn't want to be reminded of the fact that Rei had been gone for four years and had returned now. He himself was a constant reminder of that fact every single moment for the past 4 years since the day Rei left. He faintly heard Rei say that it was all right.
Rei, Takao and him had been best friends since grade school. Takao was the troublemaker of the trio, while Kai was the quiet cold-hearted bastard and Rei was another story. He was the balance of the trio, making sure that both him and Takao didn't get in any trouble while being the perfect student, getting chased by fan girls, co-captain of the basketball team and captain of the martial arts team. That's where the rivalry bit kicked in, Kai was the captain of the Basketball team and Rei the co-captain. But they were equal in talent. Sometimes Rei won and sometimes he did but none of them gave up without trying to out do each other. You could say Rei was closer to Kai more than anyone, even Takao. Kai had loved Rei but had never told him in the fear of losing Rei. But Kai had still lost him. He remembered that day so clearly when Rei had told his news. And for the first time he had displayed his emotions so openly.
Flashback
A bluenette boy was standing against the gym wall watching Rei practice his martial arts. He always liked watching Rei practice his martial arts; there was something hypnotic about his movements. But it seemed that something was bothering Rei today because his usually graceful movements were rash and angry. He watched beads of sweat roll down Rei's cheek as his eyes took a frustrating look within them.
"I think that's enough today, you don't seem to be concentrating." Kai commanded.
" I guess you are right." Rei complied annoyed by his lack of concentration. How can I concentrate Kai, when I may never be able to see you again? Rei thought bitterly. He couldn't imagine his life without Kai and Takao but it seemed that fate was against him. He went inside the changing room and changed into his normal clothes. He went outside to see Kai waiting by the Gym door. They quickly left the high school building in silence and went to their usual spot in the park. Both of them sat next to each other on the bench. Rei decided to break the silence that had enveloped them.
" I need to tell you something." Rei said quietly.
" Go on."
"We are moving back to china." He told Kai.
"Stop kidding around Rei." Kai snapped. He refused to believe that Rei was leaving. He was far too important to him.
"I'm not kidding, it's true." Rei exclaimed haughtily standing up to face Kai.
"Why?" This was all he could ask. There was no reason for Rei to move. His parents had great jobs and a good home but than why else.
"My parents were ordered by my grandfather to come back to China since he is dying and wants them to inherit all his properties and everything. He wants us to permanently settle in China." Rei explained bitterly.
"Why can't you stay here, aren't you old enough?" Kai growled.
"Believe me I asked my parent's but they absolutely won't hear me." He cried out in despair.
"…"
"Kai are you okay?" he asked worriedly as Kai stood his eyes covered by his wild bangs.
Before he could comprehend what was happening, Kai had pulled him in his embrace. His strong arms wrapped around rei's figure and his face buried in Rei's silky hair. Rei's eyes widened but he quickly recovered from hisshock and wrapped his arms around Kai's waist.
"No, I'm not okay because bI don't ever want you to leave me." Kai whispered in Rei's sensitive ear, his voice wavering slightly. Rei felt his body racked with sobs knowing the fact he wouldn't be able to fulfil Kai's wish no matter how much he wanted to. He had never cried in his life but knowing that he would have to live without Takao and especially Kai, he couldn't help but cry.
The two boys held each other as if there was no tomorrow, trying to console each other but niether succeeding. In their case it was true, there wasn't going to be a tomorrow because they won't have each other.
