Forever

Ch. 2 it's not all your fault

Kai looked down the road as Rei ran away. He hadn't MENT for him to hear that stuff, and he was sure Rei wanted him to think he was over him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Hillary. He went back inside, Hillary guiding him, and went into the living room. He had to think of where Rei was going. He had to!

Rei sat on the bar that was lined along the edge of the cliff. He looked out into the distance. He heard someone come up behind him but didn't look round. He didn't want the person to see him crying…

"Rei?" It was Hiro. "Rei? Is that you?"

"Y-yes…" He said, mentally kicking him self for sounding so weak.

"Are you crying." He bit his lip. He didn't really want Hiro to know…but he had to tell someone…

"Y…yes…" He felt someone put their arms around him and pull him down.

"Do you want to tell me why?" no answer. "You don't have to."

"I do want to tell you…" He looked at Hiro. He looked awful. He had tears stain, tears still rolling down them. Blood shot eyes, and very pale. Hiro decided not to tell the neko-jin this, as Kai had told him Rei was very concerned about his appearance. "You are good friends with Kai…aren't you?"

True, he was. When they were all still together, Kai got along best with Hiro. Kai told Hiro all his troubles, and Hiro told Kai his. Hiro was the only one of them who stayed in contact with Kai, but no one knew this.

"Well?" Hiro nodded. "Do you know…about what has been going on when we broke up?' Hiro nodded. "Please…tell me."

Although Hiro didn't want to hurt the ebony haired boy any further. The smaller boy needed to know. Hiro reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter, giving it to Rei.

Dear Hiro.

I fell out with Tala today, Bryan as well. I can't blame them for hating me though. After all, what they said was right. I AM turning into a slut. I don't care though. That's the good thing. I don't really care about much any more, all I'm concerned about is who I'm gonna fuck next! But I still feel weird. I don't know why, but I thought about Rei last time I had sex…could you tell me why?

Kai.

Rei started to cry heavily again. Hiro sat him down and hugged him, even though his new shirt was getting really wet. Rei was griping onto it like dear life and had his head buried into it.

"S-s-so it's t-true th-then?" He looked up at Hiro. "He's a…a…" He started to burst out crying again. Hiro whispering soothingly into his ear.

"Don't worry Rei…it's not all your fault…" Rei shook his head.

"It is! I broke up with him…then…then…he became…" The tears became heavy again.

"Why id you break up with him?" Rei sobbed.

"Because the village leaders wouldn't have me going-out with another man…"

"So how is it your fault?" Rei looked down. "Ignore them Rei! You can't change for them! You love Kai and that's that, so tell the leaders to fuck off, you'll chose who's right for you!" Rei smiled a little. Hiro smiled back. "Of course don't say those exact words! And if you do don't tell them I told you to! I don't want them on my back yet!" Rei laughed. Hiro's smiled grew wider. "You got that, right titch?" Rei nodded. "Good, now, what you going to go do?"

"Go back to the dojo."

"And?"

"Have fun!" Hiro patted his head. "And tell the Leaders to fuck it!"

"That's my boy!" Hiro helped him up. "I'll come to, I want to see my little brother!" Rei nodded.

"It'll be ok Kai!" Hillary said. She'd never seen Kai cry. She didn't think she would. But as that single tear strolled down his cheek. She knew he needed to be comforted.

"No it wont! Rei's ran away and my eye's are bleeding or something! I'm going to die!" She couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're not going blind. It's a tear."

"I don't cry." She looked at him and he immediately looked away.

"It tastes funny…" He said, liking his cheek. She giggled again.

"You don't drink it."

"But it tastes nice." She laughed.

"And Rei will come back." He looked at her. "I'm sure of it!" He looked away. "Want to tell me what's wrong?" She normally talked to Rei before, but she'd make an acceptation.

"I thought if I became a slut, nothing would matter, and nothing did…but I started doubting it that time I thought of Rei…it was shortly after a fight I had with Tala and Bryan…I think I still love him…but how could I? It been three years…"

"Love is blind." He looked at her. "You didn't notice you loved him till you had sex right? You probably really wanted Rei to be the one…"

"Rei's not gay anymore…he was a teenager with raging hormones when we went out…that's why I would never really do it with him…" She smiled slightly.

"He told me that you always declined him…he didn't know why you would. But you would say, 'it's not real'. And I think he is till gay…I don't know…"

"Probably not, lots of people go though that…" She nodded. "But I wish when he said it was over…I actually got over it…"

"That's happened to me before…I thought I didn't love the person anymore…a year or two went by, and I still thought of him like I always had done…but I didn't tell him, and I eventually did…he still loved me too."

"Max, right?" She nodded. "We always thought you liked Tyson, but then we started noticing little things about you and Max." She blushed.

"We're engaged…we agreed if we still liked each other when we came out of University, that we would get married…Tyson said he'd hold us to that." Kai smiled. "You have changed though…I only saw you smiled like that once…" Kai looked at her questionably. "When you and Rei first got together…I caught you smiled at him like that…you where drawing him…" Kai shut his eyes.

"I loved it back then…nothing mattered…I wish I could have those days back…"

"For now, lets all have a happy Christmas…and maybe, you could ask him about it…" Kai nodded.

"Agreed!" She grinned.

"Awesome! Let's go back though!" She grabbed Kai's hand, and ran back into the living room.
