Here is chapter 3. Sorry if it took me a little longer than usual, I was at a golf competition for a week. I didn't go so well and I forgot to take my story writing stuff which made me rather angry.
REVIEW TIME!
chi no hana: not another bucket of tears please goes on knees and begs. This chapter shouldn't make you cry I hope. It's more cheery even if the start is rather painful.
Little-Purple-Pheonix: yeah I'll keep it up as there is still heaps to go kiddo! Enjoy!
PandaPjays: Well the thing about the yaoi fangirl thing doesn't surprise me Panda-chan. As for Kai-kun having a perve, I'm not too sure on that one. But his mind is starting to wonder in this chapter.
Amasaki Reyoko: Rei-kun is going to be fine for the moment. Kai-kun, he's a different story, he may get to Spencer soon. The thought of a weak Rei is annoying but it goes with the territory of coming up with a chapter plan at midnight. How Rei helps himself I'm not to sure on that yet and how Kai helps is still a bit hazy, but it does come clear.
Now that they are all done, Thankies for the reviews and enough babble from me!
Pulling himself out of bed, Rei looked down at his body. Yesterday the gang had gone over to see how he was doing and in the end he had kicked Kai out. Taking a deep breath, he felt the pain ripple through his chest. "AAHH!" he yelled as he released it. Falling to his hands, he gasped.
His body was still black and blue from his encounter with Spencer. Getting up, Rei walked over to his closet and pulled out some clothes and went for a shower. Pulling off his boxers, Rei stood under the hot water pouring out of the showerhead. The water ran down his body that made the bruises go a shade of red.
Tipping his head back, his long black hair touched his ankles. Opening his mouth, Rei let the water fill it before he spat it out on the shower floor. Finally he turned it off. Wrapping a towel around his waist, he walked out into the open area of his bathroom. Grabbing the hairdryer, Rei spent the next 10 minutes drying his long hair.
Rei put down the appliance and started to wrap his hair up in its usual white wrap. Round and round he wound it, all 2.5 metres of it. Tying it in a knot, he got dressed. A white school shirt, long black pants, a blue blazer and in his bag were his black polish able shoes.
"Now if I remember correctly, I should have put my head band over…here," Rei said to himself as he grabbed his headband. It was now a trademark he had at the school, that and having the wrap. None of the teachers ever told him to have his hair cut as it was always tidy and out of his face. Nodding in satisfaction, Rei grabbed his bag and blades and went off to school.
Skating slowly today, he easily avoided collisions with passer-byes as they went their own way. Rei felt his wrap move around and whip the back of his legs. Reaching over his shoulder, Rei grabbed it. Still moving forward, he wrapped it around his neck like a scarf, at this he laughed. Shaking his head and smiling, Rei could see the hair of the person who he was making fun of.
Picking up his pace slightly, Rei found that he had caught up to his friend faster than expected. Slowly skating beside him, he went to poke him. As per usual, his hand was caught halfway to its target and the guy smirked.
"Kai, let me go, you're hurting my hand. OWOWOWOWIE!" Rei exclaimed as Kai briefly held it tighter before letting go, "so, nice to see you here. What you thinking about?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," Rei nodded his head, "unfortunately, no. My musings are for me and only me!" Kai started to run as Rei moved slowly through the crowd.
Pulling himself together, Rei sped after the Russian. Picking his way carefully, he arrived at the front gates of his school. Stopping, he pulled off his blades and put on his shoes. Pulling his bag over his shoulder, he started for his locker.
"Hmm, finally you made it here, what were you doing?" turning around, Kai walked up to him. Looking down, he noticed that Rei was wearing his shoes now and that his blades were in his hands.
"I have to change out of my blades before I get in. Balkov hates it when I forget. What's the look for?" Rei shifted the position of his skates, before turning around, "OH SHIT!"
Running, Rei wove through the mass of kids standing around. No one turned around and stopped him. Finally stopping to get some air, a hand fell to his shoulder. Freezing up instantly, Rei felt his sweat drip from his neck and run down his back.
"You thought you could run but remember that I'll always get you, you mouse. Never run cause it only hurts more," that voice made his blood run cold, the cracking of his knuckles made it freeze.
"Spencer, I needed to release some energy, I wasn't running from you," his voice sounded weak and pathetic. Inside he was crumpling from fear and how on earth he was going to explain the new bruises he would be sporting.
"That's not like you Rei. You skate here every morning, so why'd you run when…you-" Spencer stopped. It seemed as if he was frightened of something or someone.
"Spencer I told you to get rid of some extra energy I had. Is there anything else, I have stuff to do," Rei looked up at the blonde Russian. Fear still gripped him tightly.
"No, but I'll get you later pipsqueak. I have to see someone," at that he turned and lumbered away. Behind Rei, Kai stood watching. He was the only one everyone feared. Plus he was a good friend with the neko-jin.
Breathing slowly, Rei moved straight to his locker. One…three…nine…Click. He pulled off the lock and opened his locker. Inside on the door was a picture of his family who had disappeared when he was young. His father had silver hair with vibrant golden eyes while his mother had perpetual black hair with icy blue eyes. Standing by his father was he and next to his mother was his little sister. She had silver hair like their father but had the blue eyes of their mother. Rei was the opposite.
With that picture was one of his friends at school with him now. All were laughing, Kai on the other hand had his eyes shut, arms crossed. Under that one was what happened shortly after. Tyson was covered in cream and chocolate while Max was licking his finger, Kai was smirking in the background.
Also pictures of the person he liked and his home village covered the door. Looking at it he smiled and grabbed a small black book with white splashed over it. Closing his locker, he went back outside and quickly scaled his favourite tree.
No one ever knew he was in it and they sat around its base and talked. This was the reason why he was up-to-date with the gossip.
Throwing a leg over a bough, he pulled out a pen and started to write. His book was filled wit his thoughts, feelings and secrets that he told no one. Rei's life was a mystery to everyone as he was always bruised and away. However, the real him was alone, sad, but most of all, lost.
As he wrote, tears welled in his eyes, then rolled down his face only to be wiped away. After filling a couple of pages, he started to feel better and finally stopped. Looking down, he found that his friends were at the base of the tree. Smirking, he quietly slipped out of the tree and crouched behind Tyson.
Leaping up, he tackled the guy to the ground and quickly went up the tree. Everyone bar Ty saw him go up and they laughed. Ty got up and looked around.
"Where's that neko? I'm gonna kill 'im!" he said as he straightened his uniform. Rei organised his books and leapt out of the tree.
"Morning guys!" Rei said as he stood across from Tyson.
"Welcome back Rei!" Mariah launched herself at Rei who fell to the ground.
"AAHH!"
"What'd you do Mari?"
"Nothing Lee, he…Rei I'm sorry!"
"Get off 'im Pinky, he need to breathe ya know."
"How dare you call me Pinky Granger!" Mariah got up and slapped Tyson across the face.
"Good to have ya back Rei!" Max said as he got out of the way of Mariah and her temper.
"It's good to be back," he answered as he got to his feet, "I've seen Kai already this morning so I think that's everyone covered." At that he laughed and headed toward his first class.
"Where ya going tiger? The bell hasn't gone…yet," the bell went and Tyson grumbled. That always happened to him.
"Get a watch Ty, it helps!" Rei called back. With Max beside him with Lee, Rei went to the door of his first lesson.
"So how are you feeling Master Kon? Hope You're better now," Mr Dickinson asked. Rei nodded and took a desk near the window. Behind him sat Kai who now watched Rei's body language to tell him how his friend was.
Slumping in his chair, Kai pulled out a pencil and started to draw. As the lesson went on, the drawing took form. On a rocky ledge stood a lone wolf baying to the moon and looking out to sea, while up in a tree sat a guy with long hair and cat-like eyes. In the guy's grasp was a book and pen.
Just as class ended, Kai noticed Rei was writing in his special book again. Kai took it as a bad sign and watched the neko closely the rest of the day.
Tell me what you thought please.
I have my own thoughts book, but the idea came before I got it!
