Gee, i really didn't know so many people were waiting for me to update. Someone told me it's been a year. Really? A year? I'm sorry. I'll try to finish all of my stories and then maybe start others. The thing is, I'm working on a novel right now, and it's really hard. So cut me some slack. (100 pages so far, so proud)

Anyways, here's the next chapter

Chapter 4 : Revelations

Rei opened his eyes only to see his entire team sitting around him. He saw bandages on him everywhere, and guilty, pained expressions on the faces of his teammates. Only Kai dared to look him straight in the eye. Kai. Rei couldn't help but feel a sudden hatred for his teamleader. After all, it was HIS former team who wanted to take revenge on HIM. Rei was just a pawn in the fight between those two sides. And Rei couldn't help but feel angry at him for it.

"What happened Rei?" asked Kai. The question pierced trough his entire body. Trough every vein, every muscle, and it hurt. It really hurt. Rei tried to sit up, so he could yell better, but Kai held him down with his right hand. Rei felt very uncomfortable this way. Had Kai been like Brian and Tala too? And if he had, wasn't he still? "Are you sure you don't know Kai?" hissed Rei angrily. Kai's eyes widened with surprise and confusion. "Why would I know?" he asked carefully. He removed his hand as well.

"It was YOUR team that came after me!" Rei yelled at him. He coughed harshly when the last word excited his mouth. "Calm down Rei, I'm sure Kai has nothing to do with it" said Tyson soothingly. Rei knew he was right, but couldn't accept it. He was so angry, and he needed a scapegoat to yell at right now. "YOUR team wanted revenge and guess whom they chose for their little punishment?" Rei now breathed hard. He felt terrible. He knew he was running a temperature. But he felt so alone right now, so insecure, he could only use screaming as a defence-mechanisme. The fact that Kai was sitting there ever so calmly, not showing any kind of feeling didn't help much to take away his angre either.

"I was cut, beaten, left in subzero-temperatures, electrocuted, I got smashed with a hammer, and r-!" Rei stopped right there. Even in his current state of angre, he couldn't say the word. He couldn't deal with the pity he would receive if he said that one word. The emberacement of it all. So he just shut up. He layed himself back down and turned away from everyone.

He heard someone sighing, a bit of muttering and then felt a comforting hand on his shoulder. Rei couldn't bring himself to turn around. Tears were now running free. The memories of the last couple of days were flashing trough his mind. He could feel the pain again. The one thing that kept haunting his every thought though, was the rapes. "I'm sorry Rei" he heard Max say. "Brian and Tala came here right after you were gone and they…" Rei heard him sobbing and turned around curiously. "They told us you told them you were out to go look for something important, and that you wouldn't be back any time soon." Rei's eyes flashed with angre again, but he didn't say anything. "I didn't want to believe them at first" Tyson said. "No one did, so we went looking for you, but when you were nowhere to be found, we just assumed they weren't lying to us."

Rei felt even worse. He was tired, hurting, and his friends had just confessed they believed he would've run off just like that. To top it all, he couldn't stand Kai being in the room any longer. Rei saw a lamp standing on a nightstand next to him, picked it up and threw it harshly at Kai. "REI!" yelled Tyson and Max in unision. When Rei looked at them rather annoyed, he saw in the corner of his eye, kai's face was rather blooded. "Please excuse me" was all Kai said before going to what seemed to be the bathroom.

"He didn't deserve that Rei." Said Tyson. "He didn't do anything. It's not his fault Brian and Tala did this to you." Rei snorted. "You'll heal fast Rei, you'll see." Said Max. "And once you are at a full 100 again we'll get them back"

"I don't have the strength" answered Rei simply. "Oh come on Rei, you're the strongest person I know" Kai who had now whiped his face clean was listening in the doorstep. Acting all invisible. Rei didn't even realize he was back again. "The truth is…" Rei said. "I'm scared of them." "Why?" asked Max "I know you're stronger then that." Rei shook his head. "No max, you don't understand."

"They raped me."
