Takao ran as fast as his feet would carry him. He had to catch up to Rei before he left. He'd never forgive himself if he lost him again.

He was panting by the time he reached the park and there was no sign of the Neko-jin, which meant he had to search.

Takao silently cursed himself for ever leaving. What if he was too late?

He couldn't think of that at that moment so instead he ran. He ran, his mind in desperation.

He needed Rei, needed him like he had never needed anyone or anything.

"Rei!" The sobs broke out as he ran, his cries tearing at his chest. "Rei!"

His yells were heard as he looked upon the bridge and saw the object of his love. Takao ran on, yelling his name as Rei turned his head and received the sobbing blader in his arms.

Rei held Takao closely kissing his head as Takao clung to him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Takao blubbered between his tears.

"Shh, don't talk," Rei whispered as he felt his own tears. All thoughts of image dissipated into the air as Takao buried his face into Rei's chest. "I love you Takao, I love you," Rei whispered into his ear as he held him.

The training hall was a mess, boxes of hair dye strewn all over the place along with black hairs.

"Hey, you know, black isn't your color," Brooklyn smiled as he tugged at Garland's now black and very badly cut hair, chunks of it missing, since they littered the ground

"Why me?"
