Summary: Rei muses about Takao and the World Tournament on the way back to Japan with Mystel


"I'm coming to see you Takao."

Those had been the words he had thought as he followed Mystel out of White Tiger Hills. Certainly Japan wasn't his real home, in the most logical sense of the word but he felt like it was.

Anyplace in the world felt like home with Takao in his arms. Takao was his home, and that's where he was headed. The road was a long one, with Mystel prancing and his nonstop chattering but at the end of the line there would be a reward.

But there would also be a challenge. Max and Kai had faced Takao at his best but he never had. He, who had professed his undying love and devotion for him had never been able to prove his skill.

It boiled his blood to the point of explosion. Takao had never been able to fight him at his best, the heat of his love finally taking form in an all out war.

That was what he wanted more than anything else, from Takao: his friend, his rival, but most importantly his lover.

He wanted to take him down in a war of unrestrained passion. Soon he would do it. Very soon.

Rei opened his eyes as he felt the wind tug at his hair. The smell of the grass beneath him reminded him of everything Takao was.

Suddenly a large wet tongue lapped against his cheek. Rei narrowed his eyes as he turned over to see a large dog standing over him. Once again the tongue coated his face with smelly slobber.

"Get away!" Rei yelled as he pushed the dog away and wiped the remains of the kisses from his face.

The dog whined and gave a loud bark in Rei's face before running off.
