Here to update again! I told you I'd update tonight. Im about ready to finish this fic, how 'bout you guys? well your wish has been granted, I give you the final chapter of this story. It's really odd for me to be doing this though, this is my first story that I've actually finished so, hoo-ray for that
Thanks for all the reviews...i think the most popular one has been "YOU KILLED KAI AND REI". yes indeed i am a horrible person. but then again, it makes for a good fic. But don't worry, I promise I wont kill them in my other stories!
so...you're ready for disclaimers right?
who am I to keep you waiting?
Pairings- kai+rei, yuuri+boris, zo+takao+max (not a threesome you pervs)
Disclaimer- do you see kai and rei making out on your television screen? Good, then you know I don't own the story.
WARNING: this fic contains yaoi (man on man action for you slow ones) and will be rated R for later chapters.
so grab your popcorn and sit tight!
Chapter 4
Boris walked down the stairs of Kai's old house, stopping slightly as he realized where he was. 'This was the last place i saw Kai...damn this is weird, im not ever gonna shake this feeling...' He continued down the stairs, taking each step gently in remembrance of his friend. As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he sighed, gazing at the pile of boxes surrounding what used to be the phoenix's living room. Once again he shook his head. 'This is what Kai and Rei would have wanted...well just have to find something to do with their stuff...'
"Boris! Where are you! I need you to help me with this box!"
He turned around as he heard his koi's voice. Glancing up the stairs, he hid his smirk upon seeing Yuuri's body practically being covered by the box. Yuuri huffed and put the huge box down at the top of the stairs, whiping his forehead. "Oh there you are..." he said, trotting down the stairs to his koi, "Do ya think Kai and Rei had enough stuff?"
"Obviously not..." Boris said.
"Well, the movers will be here in an hour, so all we have to do is get the rest of stuff from upstairs down here..." Yuuri said, hugging his lover gently. Boris returned the hug gently and yawned, "Can't the mover do this Yuu-koi? I'm tired already"
"Come on were almost done...just Kai and Rei's room and then well be done, " Yuuri grabbed his hand , Come one love, up we go..."
Yuuri dragged Boris up the stairs behind him, kicking the box he had left at the top in annoyance. They both walked down the narrow hallway, hands intertwined. Yet both seemed to be in their own worlds.
'Its so hard to believe that Boris and I are doing this...it seems like just yesterday that Kai and Rei were still beside us...' He shook his head, thinking those thoughts would only cause him to break down again which was the one thing he didn't want to do in this situation. Boris looked down at Yuuri and sighed gently, 'I'm so lucky to have him...'.
They soon reached the large master bedroom, gently opening the door to reveal a vast and empty space. Yuuri let go of Boris' hand, "I'll take the closet, you go through all of the boxes and make sure everything is where it needs to be." Boris nodded and soon plopped down on the ground beside a tower of boxes. Yuuri giggled gently at his lover before walking over to the closet. He began to roam through it. "You know...some of these clothes are mine," he said with a soft laugh, "I guess Rei just never gave them back..." Boris shook his head, ripping open a box. He looked up suddenly when he heard yuuri gasp. "What is it koi?" He asked.
Yuuri smiled and pulled out a delicate kimono out of the large closet. It was a dark purple, almost black, with delicate flower patterns cascading down the back and to the bottom of the delicate fabric. Boris smiled, remembering the day Rei had worn it. "Wow...I haven't seen this thing in forever," yuuri said, a large smile plastered on his face, "I remember when he wore it, it was when Kai had just started to gain a crush on him..."
Flashback
Kai tapped his foot impatiently outside of the house.
"Man, I wonder what's taking Rei so long..." Takao asked the obvious question on Kai's mind.
"You know Rei, Taka-kun...he always takes forever to get ready," Zo said with a gentle giggle, slowly sliding his arm around Takao's. Kai noticed this and glanced back at Max, who had a hurt look on his face
Kai had been observing this for a while. Takao would be obsessed with Max at the dojo, until Zo came around, and then it was like he had completly forgotten that Max was alive. Rei had once spoken to him (Kai) about this. He'd tell him how Max would stay up all night crying gently, and how Max had needed Rei's comfort and support. That was one quality he had liked about the Chinese boy. No matter what the situation was, Rei was always there for his friends. Kai shook his head, letting the silver nags cascade over his forehead. HE sighed irritably.
Max picked up on this, "Why don't I go see what's taking him so long?" He smiled and opened the door, gasping slightly. "R...Rei...you look so...pretty," Max stammered. Kai tilted his head up, trying to see around max to get a good look at the kitten, but failing miserably.
"A-arigato...sorry I took so long you guys, my hair was driving me crazy, " and with that, Rei appeared out of the doorway, causing Kai's breath to catch in his throat.
The kitten looked gorgeous. He had his hair tied back half way, letting the rest of it droop past his ankles. It was a gentle contrast to the delicate kimono he was wearing, which wrapped around his feminine waist snugly.
"Wow Rei, you really do look good. Your hair looks fine too..." Zo said, blinking over and over to register the image into his mind.
A blush rose on Rei's tanned cheek, "Ah...well thanks for all the compliments you guys, but we should go. Im sure Yuuri and Boris are having a heart attack by now."
Takao nodded and grabbed Zo's arm again, leading him down the sidewalk. Rei glanced at Max who only looked at him and shrugged sadly. Rei could tell he wanted to be alone, so he let the younger blader walk ahead of him. He turned to Kai, who was still stunned by the site of the neko-jin.
Rei blinked and waved his hand infront of Kai's face, "Hello...earth to Kai...come in..."
Kai blinked and looked down at him, a tint of red barely showing on his pale cheeks. Rei smiled, "Are you okay?"
"Fine..." Kai muttered, looking at the ground. He was unable to look Rei straight in the eye, for fear of dozing off again. Rei's smile widened, "Well than, Hiwatari-sama, shall we?" Kai nodded and walked beside Rei in silence.
'Oh man...yuuri's gonna flip when he hears this...'
End
Tears began to well in Yuuri's eyes, "That was the best night ever. Rei actually forced Kai to have fun..."
"Yeah, and I think he did..." Boris sighed, digging through a box. Suddenly his hand scraped across cold metal. Confused he picked the object up, revealing nothing other than a picture frame.
"Yuu...come here..." he said, almost whispering it.
Yuuri obeyed and sat down beside him, smiling as he took the picture into his hand. Kai was standing infront of a smiling Rei, who was barely visible over Kai's broad shoulders.
"Wasn't this the day where we had a piggy-back race?" Boris looked at him.
"Yeah, they kicked our ass koi..."he said smiling. Suddenly, the tears that had threatened him earlier rolled down his cheeks. Boris sighed and pulled him into his arms, "Come now koi...they're in a better place now."
"I...k-know, "Yuuri sobbed, "It's just so hard to walk into this house without seeing them here..." Boris tightened his grip around his lover, "I know..."
"D-do you think...they would mind if I kept this picture? Just for old times sake?" Yuuri looked at Boris, who smiled.
"I'm sure they would love it koi..."
Takao sighed, adjusting his tie in the mirror before him. This was the day he had been dreading, the day they all had been dreading. This was they day they would bury their captain, something takao thought he would never have to do. Max came up behind him, small tears in his eyes, "Come on Takao, we'd better leave now if we have to pick up Zo..."
Takao turned to him, frowning sadly. "Maxie...are you really leaving?"
Max stiffened, "Taka...we've been over this a million times..."
Takao sighed, "I know...its just going to be weird...first Rei, then Kai, and now...youre going as well." Max huffed, "It's not like im dying Taka-kun...I just need to be with my family in America right now...plus...you have Zo to take care of you."
Takao sighed, grabbing Max's wrist and pulling his into a tight hug, "Zo isn't you..." Max sighed, he loved the warmth of the other boy, but he soon realized it was probably fake. He pushed away, "Come on Taka, grandpa's waiting in the car..."
Takao sighed sadly, he knew he was hurting Max, but he couldn't get his feelings sorted out. He loved Max with all of his heart, but he also felt something for Zo. And with that, he had sent Max into a frenzy of confused and hurt feelings. 'Maybe its better he's going back home...maybe he'll find someone who'll take care of him better than I can...'
Both boys walked out side and looked at each other.
"Ready?" Takao asked
" I don't think any of us are Taka-kun..."
After the preacher was finished, the crowd started to disappear. Yuuri, Boris, Max and Takao were the only ones left. They all stared at the ground, which held their friends now lifeless body. Almost all of them were crying, with the exception of Boris who was trying to be strong for Yuuri.
Yuuri crouched near the ground and ran his fingers over Kai's tombstone. "Well friend,' he whispered, "I guess this is goodbye...thank you for everything. You will truly be missed, even though I know you and Rei are probably up there tearing up the heavens..." Max laughed slightly as Takao rubbed his back. Yuuri turned over to the tombstone next to Kai's, "You hear that Rei-Rei? Take care of each other while you're up there..."
He stood up and looked at the two graves that were so close to each other. He intertwined his hand with Boris' and smiled. Soon, the four walked off into the sunset, gently drying their eyes.
DONE! Sorry this chapter might be a little short, but at least its complete.
