so heres chapter 2, how you all likeing it?

Rei's story

Rei dribbled the ball between his legs, he was sitting on a bench in the basketball court. He yawned, wishing Tatsuya would hurry up. He heard the gate open and looked up. Tatsuya was jogging over to him, trying to finish his sandwich before they began the game. Rei stood up and stretched, he totally knew he was going to beat Tatsuya butfigured that he couldn't go to bad on the guy.

"Are you ready yet?" Rei asked in a fatigued voice.

"Yes." Tetsuya said. "And don't sound so bored! I'm going to keep you on your toes for this match!" He cameinto the middle of the court and bent down.

They were now both at eyelevel and, though Rei was dribbling the ball, had one hand over the ball; Tatsuya ready to snatch it and Rei ready to keep it. Rei saw the determination in Tetsuya's eyes and laughed.

"So, you're going to beat me this time, huh?"

Tetsuya made a grab for the ball but missed. "Oh yeah!" he said confidently. He tried again but Rei made a lay up and nailed it in.

"Well you're doing a great start by letting me get the lead!" he joked.

Tetsuya waved it off. "I wasn't warmed up yet, that's all!"

Rei snorted and threw him the ball. "So can you cover for me?" he asked.

Tetsuya nodded. "Yeah, as long as I can keep the cash."

"Of course, you do the work, you get paid: that's how it works!" Tetsuya aimed for the net but Rei stole it.

Tetsuya made a face as Rei scored but Rei pretended not to notice, it made Tetsuya feel better. Then Tetsuya tried a new approach to score: he brought up Kira.

"So…you're missing this to go out with Kira, right?" Though he said it casually but working it into the conversation Rei still felt a sense of hatred rise in him at the mention of her name. He didn't like it if Tetsuya used her to distract him, it could easily work but Rei didn't like talking to much about her behind her back.

"Yeah." he answered casually, stealing the ball yet again from Tetsuya.

"Things are getting pretty…intense between you too, right?"

Rei knew where this was going and didn't like it. He was tired of explaining the fact that he and Kira had done nothing of the sexual nature yet, though he knew nobody in their right mind believed him: he explained again anyway. "Not in the way you're thinking. You perverted monkey!"

"Hey! I'm not the humping Hyena here!"

Rei made a quick move with his hand and had the ball again. He stood and twirled the ball on his finger. "Look man, with Kira, there is no sex okay? When are you going to get that through your thick, dull head?"

Tetsuya stood beside Rei and folded his arms. "Rei, come on, like you don't think about that with Kira!"

Rei shook his head. "Kira? Oh no, Tetsuya, I'll break off this whole thing befo…"

"Rei stop!" Tetsuya said so forcefully that Rei had to turn around and when he did he was just about to kick himself.

Kira was standing right there, her whole body was shaking, telling him that she had heard the 'break it off' part instead of the whole Rei is not a pervert part.

Rei didn't move: he couldn't. He stared at her and saw her drop a pan of something to the ground: he didn't even want to hear what she said to him. He watched her leave and then turned around to sit on the bench. He began rubbing his temples in frustration. He really didn't know what to do right now: he didn't like it when Kira was mad at him but also knew he couldn't just run off after her. She needed her time alone for now.

"You know, Rei…" Tetsuya said between eating. "These brownies Kira made you are really good. I think you missed out on a great offer."

Rei looked up to see Tetsuya eating the thing Kira had thrown on the ground. Luckily most of it had stayed in the pan. "Shut up! It's your fault that she's mad at me."

Tetsuya gulped down the food in his mouth and shrugged. "I think Kira sees it differently." he took another brownie then handed the pan over to Rei. "I think I may go say hello to her. Maybe she'll make me some cookies or something!"

With that Tetsuya left Rei alone in the basketball court. Rei looked down at the pan of brownies in his hand. "Damn-it!" he said. "They're too good to look at! Shit…I have to apologize." he said to himself. He grabbed a piece of brownie and thought about what he should do while he ate it.

He never really figured it out so he had gone for a walk after school. He'd left his bike there because he figured he'd be back. He had met Harumi at the door and she had suggestted a place for him to go to. He ended up walking into town and finding that place: itwasa flower shop. He looked around the entire store, not finding anything that was right. A snippy sales person came up to him. First he looked Rei up and down: figuring he was worth less then the dirt the flowers were in.

"Can I…assist you, sir?" he grumbled, fixing his glasses and not giving Rei the time of day.

Rei knew that if he wasn't so tall the guy would be glaring down his nose at him. "Yeah…" Rei said, knowing he was going to have fun with this guy. "I'm looking for some flowers."

"What type?"

"Oh I don't know…" Rei said in a pensive manner. "One that grew from dirt? You got any of those?"

The sales person snickered. "Yes, why wouldn't we? Now what type of flower that grew from dirt do you want?"

Rei shrugged. "A nice one?"

The sale person shook his head in dismay. "Just tell me who it is for!"

Rei shrugged. "My girlfriend, I guess…"

"You guess?" he sighed and began walking around the store. Muttering to himself the whole time. "Well…how about some red roses. Those indicate love." he held out a huge bouquet.

Rei looked at the roses. He didn't like them, sure they were supposed to be a symbol of love but it just didn't fit her. They weren't Kira: he wanted a flower that at least reminded him of her.

He shrugged. "Nah. Those aren't right. Besides red is more a colour for sex…I shouldn't associated those with my girlfriend or she might get mad and I might sue you if she dumps me."

The sales person dropped the roses and grabbed a another bouquet of roses, these one white. "What about these?"

He shook his head and the sales person tried again, and again. Soon he picked a black rose bouquet. "WHAT ABOUT BLACK? THE COLOUR OF DEATH? WOULD SHE LIKE THAT AS A GIFT?"

"No, black tends to be associated with sex again."

The sales person was very mad now but Rei just couldn't see a rose being Kira's flower. It had to many pedals, it just wasn't her. The sales person wanted to finish this sale so he said. "Okay then what colour would you like."

"It's the flower, change it!"

The sales person walked around the small shop again. "Would you like a pansy? Or a daffodil? Or a lily? How about a mum?"

"No. Those aren't it."

"Do you even know what you want young man!" The sales person cried.

"I'll know it when I see it!" Rei instructed him.

The sales person grabbed a bouquet of purple flowers. "How about some violets?"

"No…Wait! What's that?" he pointed to a small yellow flower next to the violets. It had eight yellow, skinny pedals that stretched out like star beams from the brown middle.

The sales person walked over to them and picked them up. "These? 'Moonbeams', is that what you would like?" he asked, a relieved smile stretching over his face.

"Yeah…how much?" Rei held out his hand to hold the flowers. They were perfect: they had Kira written all over them.

"I'll ring you up!" the sales person said as he happily made his way over to the cash.

Rei didn't care he stared at the flowers still in his hands. He smiled to himself, knowing this might be the first gift he'd actually gotten her. Just then something outside the shop's window caught his eye. He sawKira walking up the hill. She was about the cross the street so he ran outside, figuring this was the best time to see her. He ran out of the shop despite the sales person's protests and began jogging up to meet her, then he saw something strange.

There was a large thing that appeared to be a couch coming down the street. He stared in wonder as it hit Kira from the side and she fell upon it. He stood there, not sure what to make of the situation. Then his brain turned on and ran down the hill, leapt over the back of the of the couch and landed right beside Kira on it. He saw her with her hands over her face and noticed she was leaning forward. 'If she's not careful she could fall!' he thought. Placing his hands around her waist and pulling her back on.

"Rei?" She asked, not believing that it was the real him.

He leaned back on the couch, happy to see that she was safe. He whipped his forehead with his hand. Then saw that he was still holding the moonbeams he held them out in surprise. 'Oh SHIT!' he thought. Knowing why the sales person had been yelling at him when he had run out of the shop.

He saw kira's hand go over the flowers as she asked, "For me?"

She was too happy with them that he couldn't tell her they hadn't been bought. "Uh…sure!" he said with a shrug. He decided to get back to the problem at hand. "So, how are we supposed to get off?" e asked her: hoping she'd thought of a plan.

She made a face that said she didn't know and she asked him how he got on he explained it to her. He asked her some questions to try to get some time to form an idea. He eventually got one, but it didn't work. He thought he could use his feet to slow them down to a stop it ruined his shoes but other then that did nothing.

Then Kira pointed to something below and Rei couldn't have been happier. There was an old 1988 corolla at there. They were heading right for it and Rei knew a car would have enough weight to stop them. As they sped down the hill and slowly came in contact with the car's bumper Rei threw his hands around Kira. First they were thrust forward then thrown back like the end of a roller coaster. Rei saw Kira jump over the armrest and he followed. He saw her walk over to the driver's side and decided that the person driving might be angry. So it would be better if the person took it out on him instead.

However when the door opened he felt Kira rush past him, he was about to stop her when he saw Harumi step out. Rei laughed to himself on the inside. Harumi wouldn't be mad, in fact she'd probably make a few jokes or something. Which she did. She tutted to herself and pretended to act like his mother saying, "Well Mr. Kashino, this is coming out of your allowance."

Though she said it in a joking manner he knew she was series. Suddenly he was happy he hadn't paid for those flowers. As he paid Harumi Kira was looking up the hill. He cranked his head up but couldn't see anything. "I wonder where it came from?" she asked and Rei wished he had an answer.

What? You are still confused? hmmm...well wait for the next chapter. PLEASE REVIEW!
