Disclaimer: I own none of the characters

Hey! I'm updating faster than I originally planned thanxs to Tala-Baby

I know many of you think that this seems like a ReixKai fanfic. And maybe it does in some sense, but it is still a ReixBryan.

If any of you have noticed I use Kai a lot in my stories. When I write about him I try to make him like a guardian or a big brother. In my fanfics he is more of a symbolic meaning. He is a representation of a big brother, which I don't really have anymore spiritually. Not in the past years. So Kai kinda takes the place.

I hope this answered some of your questions that I'm guessing a few of you had.

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things the wrong way?

I am Human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody does

'Believe what you see. That's another rule in life. Or to me. If you can not see it than there is nothing to believe. But what the eyes do not see, the mind struggles to believe. I guess that's what I am doing now. I will not believe Kai until I have seen that Rei is no longer blading, but my mind struggles to believe it. Urgh.so many thoughts. What has brought me here.

Am I really that curious about this new information? Could this help me feel the way I want to feel? Could this be what I want?

No use. It wouldn't happen. I should know by now that life isn't as forgiving as it should be and that second chances aren't available. There is no such thing. The world doesn't seem to understand that. It taunts me with it, knowing that if I except it, it will be thrown in my face.

But it doesn't seem like it this time. Right now I think I will take that chance. I have what I want in from of me. Even if it is coming from a neko- jin. He will either battle or give me what I should have had. There's no turning back. I already provoked him. It makes me wonder how he has such courage to be within a hundred feet of me. I thought that little release a few days ago would have taught him. Well, I did warn Kai that he should watch out for Rei. He doesn't know what I might do.'

Bryan thoughts echoed in his head as he stood yet again behind Rei.

" So you decided to come back. I thought that the first two times would have gotten it through your head that you should run when you see me." Bryan said low enough only for Rei to hear.

Hearing that voice Rei jumped and turned around. He took one look at Bryan and decided it was better to flee than fight, knowing that he wouldn't anyway. Since his injuries slowed him down he moved a few seconds to late and Bryan was able to grab him and keep him in place.

'Let go."

"No."

"Why? What do you want? You got your little revenge. Isn't that enough?" asked Rei who struggled against Bryan's grip. Tears were starting to well up in his golden eyes. He wasn't in the mood to handle this.

"That? That wasn't what I want. For some reason I didn't get the satisfaction I wanted. You took something more cherished. And I want that back." Bryan sneered releasing Rei from his iron grip. Rei took a few good steps back distancing himself from the Russian.

"What more do you want exactly?" asked Rei.

"I want a rematch." Said Bryan simply.

"No. I don't want to battle. Now please leave me alone." Rei said and started to turn away and walk. Bryan wasn't going to allow that to happen and called out to Rei.

"Are you telling me that what Kai said is true?" asked Bryan who was getting ready to play with Rei's mind.

"What did he say?" Rei said in an angered voice. He turned around and eyes were silted. Bryan painfully took in the look, remembering it to be the same look Rei had on during the World Finals. Shaking his head he turned back to Rei.

"So you admit it. You're even more pathetic to quit just because you lost something." Bryan smirked at this noticing that his plan was working.

"So what! What does it matter to you? Actually it's your fault. If you hadn't made Driger use all his power maybe he would still be here!" Rei said anger flaring.

All Bryan could do was smirk. He reached behind him and pulled out his launcher and blade. Rei took another step back seeing that cursed blade. Not wanting to get hurt again by it he hesitantly grabbed his launcher and what was left of Driger.

Seeing this Bryan smirk grew. Finally he would be at ease knowing that he would win. Loading his launcher, he saw Rei do the same but noticed the slight look of hesitation on Rei's face. Snapping out of it just as Rei launched Driger, Bryan let Falborg go free, quickly targeting Driger. One blow was all it took. Driger Flew through the air and landed at Rei's feet. All he could do was stare. Not a sign of shock on his face. No emotion at all. A shell to someone passing by.

Bryan could only stare at what had happened. ' That's it? That's what I wanted? Whatever happened to the determination and strength he had back in the stadium?' This thought only made Bryan angrier.

"Pick it up!"

No answer.

"I said pick it up!" Bryan yelled not liking being ignored. The cold air blew his hair around, and nipped at his skin but he paid no attention. All his attention was focused on the neko-jin in front of him.

Slowly Rei bent down picked up his blade and turned around and started to walk away. Bryan was at disbelief at this. No one ever walked away from him without reason. Not letting Rei by the first one, he quickly ran after Rei, planning on getting him. He had almost reached Rei when Rei unexpectedly turned around and looked at Bryan. Bryan was surprised by this and collided into Rei sending them both onto the ground.

A loud thump was heard and a hiss of pain. Bryan opened his eyes only to be staring at liquid gold ones. Taking a breath from having the wind slightly knocked out of him he continued to stare, but snapped out of it quickly when he caught himself. Scrambling to get up, he heard something headed towards him and looked up to see a blue blur coming towards him quickly. Ducking down the blade missed Bryan's head by an inch and ricocheted of a tree and back to its owner. Bryan looked up to see Kai standing a couple of feet away.

"I thought you'd take your own warnings more seriously. You thought I would just ignore what you said?" said Kai clearly angry at the scene.

"Glad to know that." Said Bryan.

Kai looked down at Rei, who still had his eyes opened wide and was breathing slightly heavy. What Kai noticed was that Rei's eyes were focused on Bryan. He didn't like what he saw and called Rei.

"Come on Rei. Get up." He called with his normal tone. Not waiting for Rei he turned around and started walking, but not before sending Bryan a death glare that could scare the dead over and over.

Rei snapping out of it, slowly got up with some trouble due to his ribs and walked by Bryan speaking in a low tone, "I hope you're happy now! You've just managed to ruin what was left." He then followed Kai home.

Bryan ran what Rei said over in his head. What could he have possibly ruined? If not anything he should be happy and satisfied. Just he wasn't. It seemed a battle wasn't the right thing. He cursed knowing he blew his second chance that was given. Turning around, he stalked off angry and confused.
