REVELATIONS
"How dare you," hissed a voice. Kai spun around so the voice had a face, although he already knew its name. He turned and found himself staring into a pair of liquid fire eyes; yellow eyes burning so intently with barely controlled rage - directed solely to him. He was a loss for words.
Rei seethed in anger, he waited impatiently and watched Kai, their leader, the team captain of the Bladebreakers turn around excruciatingly slowly to face him. He watched as Kai's garnet eyes widened slightly as Rei repeated his earlier statement, "How dare you."
"Excuse me?"
"How dare you even raise a hand against Tyson. He is just a boy."
"I know. He is an immature little prat that needs to grow up." Rei just smirked. He couldn't believe how little the great Kai understood about one of his own team members.
Kai saw the other smirk but decided not to pursue the cause of it.
"You know, he has forgiven you," said the neko-jin quietly.
"I don't need..." Started Kai
"You don't want it, is that right Kai?" he bit out, "Well you godamn need it." Kai's jaw dropped ever so slightly at the other's outburst. "You need it desperately and he gave it to you, no questions asked. He doesn't even hold a grudge Kai, I know that I do, so does Max and even Kenny to a degree. You betrayed us and hurt us when we were in Russia. You had to work at regaining my trust and you had earned it, you know, but now -after that..." he trailed off.
"Hey, look ok, he made me feel uncomfortable. I got rid of the feeling."
Rei could feel his temper flaring. "It was a hug, for the love of God; a symbol of friendship. A friend; is something that he considers you to be. Why, I am not entirely certain considering the number of times you put him down. He still considers you to be his friend and he was expressing his offer of friendship and his gratitude that you returned to us through the said hug. And what did you do? You pushed his over, almost knocked him unconscious and gave his a concussion."
Kai only looked away, which in turn only fuelled Rei's rage. "You are so stupid sometimes."
"Me stupid? I most certainly am not."
"Oh, so you think you know everything."
"Yeah, that's right."
"You are such a fool," stated Rei.
"What?" cried Kai indignantly, his temper rising.
"There are so many things in this world that you will never know let alone understand."
"Like what?"
"Like love, you will never know it. You will never experience it because you are so blind that you'll never even see it."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You are so blinded by petty things, like tournaments, the thrill of the win, pride and your honour that you can not even see what is right in front of you. What is on offer?"
"What? What are you talking about? What is on offer?"
Rei opened his mouth to answer. "No don't," came a voice. Rei turned his head to the sound, as did Kai. Garnet eyes widened at what he saw.
