Rei opened her eyes and found she was lying under the covers in her room. She got out of bed and noticed that she had been changed into her pajamas. She wslked to her door and pushed it open, she was met by the darkness of the hallway. She turned and looked at her clock, it was a little after four in the morning. She was going to go back to bed when she heard the faint shuffle of footsteps and the creaking of floorboards downstairs.
She walked into the bright light of the kitchen but found nobody was there. Then she heard the floorboards creaking again but coming from the next room. She walked into theeven brighterliving room, to see a female form sitting on the couch.
"Kieko?" asked Rei
"Oh, I'm sorry did I wake you?" said Kieko rather quickly
"no, not at all... I came down here for a drink" said Rei
"oh, well since your here why don't you sit next to me" said Kieko
"okay" said Rei
Afterwhat seemed like forever Kieko turned to Rei and lookedlike she wanted to say something, but instead she turned back around and looked at the floor. She looked up again then looked back down at the floor.
"do you want to say something to me?" asked Rei
"Rei, what if you..." started Kieko
"yes" said Rei
"what if... something happened, but you afraid to tell someone else because you were afraid they'd get mad... would it be worse to go ahead and hurt the person or lie to them?" asked Kieko
"I suppose lying would be worse, but I really don't get where your going with this" said Rei
"well, there is something I think Yusuke might want to know... but I'm afraid because..." Kieko paused to blot the tears from her eyes.
"oh sweetie" said Rei putting her arms around Kieko's shoulders
"I...Just...don't...know...what...to...do" said Kieko between tears
"well, if I were Yusuke and I thought my girlfriend was keeping something from me... it would hurt, I suppose I would prefer the truth no matter how bad it may be" said Rei
"thankyou" said Kieko
"what's going on?" asked Yukina coming in with Botan
"why are you crying?" asked Botan
The arrival of Botan and Yukina made Kieko break down and start sobbing uncontrollably.
"whatever it is, it's okay" said Botan rubbing Kieko's shoulders
"oh..its..just..."started Kieko
"It's okay" said Yukina resting Kieko's head on her shoulder.
Later that day Kieko seemed unnaturally nice to Yusuke. She offered to fix him breakfast and even serve it to him. She really seemed like she wanted to put Yusuke into a good mood, it seemed she had decided to tell him afterall.
Kurama was laying on the couch reading some book, when Rei approached him and sat down beside him. She sat there for a while without saying anything until Kurama finally looked up from hos book.
"Is something wrong?" asked Kurama
"no" said Rei
"are you sure?" asked Kurama
"no" said Rei
"well, come on what is it?" asked Kurama
"I'm bored is there anything to do around here?" asked Rei
"oh, trust me in a couple of days there will be plenty for you to do around here" said Kurama
"but, I want something to do now" said Rei
"do you want to go for a walk?" asked Kurama
"what a brilliant idea!" said Rei pulling Kurama off the couch.
