A/N: I know u guys wanna kill me because I haven't updated in such a long time but I was soo lost on what to write. I hope this chapter can make up for my lateness.

Chapter 4: Rejection

"Kai, we need to talk." Rei's voice held determination and seriousness. He was going to find out why Kai was ignoring him whether he liked it or not.

"There is nothing to talk about." Kai snapped coldly.

"Yes, there is and you know it as well as I do." Rei said fiercely.

"And, pray tell what's that." Kai's tone heavy with sarcasm. He didn't realize he could act so well. If he ever got out of the writing business, he'd probably end up in the show biz.

"Damn it. What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you acting this way? Yesterday night you completely ignored me. You didn't say a word to me save for the 'goodnight' that was barely even heard. And now you're acting like you want nothing to do with me. You know it would help if you told what I did wrong to receive this kind of cold treatment from you." Rei exploded, his tone holding great annoyance.

" Are you done yet?"

"Yeah."

"First of all why should I even have a reason to talk with you last night? Its not like there was anything important to talk about. And second you are right, I don't want anything to do with you." Kai said impassively. Rei I'm so sorry, you didn't do anything wrong but this is for your own good. This is the only way that you can be safe. At least if you don't get close me, you'll be out of dangers way. I'd rather have you hate me, than get hurt. Kai thought.

"Oh, this is rich. You are asking me why you should even have a reason to talk to me. Oh, I don't know, maybe because we've been best friends for more than 8 years." Rei let out a bark of laughter, than answered sarcastically. When Kai didn't say anything, Rei continued with his answer.

"And what the hell do you mean about not wanting anything to do with me? Are you nuts?"

"No but I wouldn't too sure about you." Kai said smirking.

"So now I'm the crazy one. Last time I checked you were the one trying to break all ties with me." Rei said angrily.

"Trying to get rid of someone because they are annoying doesn't make me crazy."

"What? Are you trying to tell me that all those years we spent together meant nothing to you, that I was just an annoyance all along." Rei yelled enraged. This wasn't the Kai he knew. Kai might have been distant but he never acted like this. Or maybe he had never actually known the real Kai. No, that couldn't be right. Damn it. May be he shouldn't have come to talk to Kai because this was just screwing his head.

"Now you're catching up, Kitten." Kai said in a low sexy drawl.

That was the last straw. Rei had reached his breaking point. How dare he call him by that name after saying so much crap to him. With lightening fast speed Rei went towards Kai, he grabbing him by the collar and punched him in the stomach. Kai doubled over in pain. He hadn't expected Rei to punch him and he had definitely gotten stronger from the last time he saw him.

"Don't ever call me that again." Rei hissed dangerously into Kai's ear. His eyes were narrowed into slits. Kai not the kind of person to let someone else be in control, grabbed both of Rei's wrists.

"Let go of me." Kai threatened, wincing slightly from the pain. Rei did as he was told but the dangerous look in his eyes didn't change.

"Now if we are done talk, I suggest you leave and stop wasting anymore of my time." Kai said coldly.

"I see. I'm sorry for wasting your time and being annoying for all those years." Rei spat bitterly. So this was it, he wouldn't be part of Kai's life anymore nor kai in his life.

Rei dashed out of the room slamming the door behind him. He saw Takao waiting for him inside the living room.

"Hey, How did it go?" Takao asked grinning not noticing the angry and hurt look on Rei's face.

"I don't want to talk about it." Rei muttered darkly. He wanted to get out of this place as fast as possible.

"What's wrong?" Takao asked instantly worried.

"I'll tell you later, I've other things to take care of right now."

Like my sanity and my heart. Rei added mentally. Not giving Takao the chance to tell him to wait, Rei bolted out of the the apartment and down the stairs.

Takao slammed open Kai's door and stalked in. Whatever was wrong with Rei, he was sure Kai had something to do with it.

"Kai, What the hell did you say to Rei?"

"It none of your business."

"Well, I make it my business when my best friend gets hurt because of you."

"I told him to get out of my life because he was annoying. Happy now." Kai retorted coldly while on the inside he was about to break down. He couldn't believe he had actually told Rei to leave him alone but this was the only way

that he wouldn't be in danger.

"How could you? He was your best friend, probably even more than that." Takao yelled.

"Do you think I wanted to tell him that? He was the most precious thing to me but if I hadn't he would have gotten more hurt than he was now." Kai yelled back.

"That's where you are wrong. Nothing can compare to the hurt that you feel after getting rejected by someone you truly love." Takao whispered sadly.

Chapter End

A/N: Kai and Rei were soo OOC in this chapter. I bet you didn't expect kai to be so mean and what did he mean by not wanting Rei to get hurt? To find out read the next chapter.

I'm going to sleep now. Bye bye.
