Normal POV
Kai was determined to leave. Rei was following him and trying to convinced him to stay, he didn't care about the rain; he just wanted to make his friend stay, but he didn´t know what to do. He was trying his best, but it was in vain.
Kai was going straight to his house, without even caring or hearing what Rei was saying. After a few minutes Rei realized there was nothing he could do, so he said:
"Fine I will leave. I just hope you change your mind before it's too late"
Kai didn't even look at him.
Rei was devastated: he felt defeated, and at some point guilty as well; he was convinced that this whole situation was his fault.
And now he had to tell the other guys that Kai was gone, gone once again. It was not going to be easy, not at all. First of all, because he felt it was his fault; he was convinced of that. And also, because he knew his friends trusted Kai when he said he was not going to leave this time. But at the same time he was feeling bad for Kai; he knew it was not easy for him to go through it. He knew he was hurt and it made him feel even more miserable.
Of course it was not really his fault, but there was no one who would tell him he was wrong; therefore, in his mind he was the cause off all this.
A few minutes later, Rei was once again at the house.
The guys were in the living room, talking and waiting for them.
"What took you so long?" Daichi asked.
Rei didn't answer, and a few seconds later Max asked:
"And where is Kai? And why are you soaked?"
Rei didn't know how to tell them that Kai was gone. It should be easy for him, but it wasn't. First of all because he knew his friends wouldn't be happy, and also because he was feeling really guilty: he was convinced it was his fault.
"I-I have something to tell you guys" Rei finally said, after a few seconds.
"Fine, but change your cloths first, you must be freezing" Tyson told him.
"No, I need to say it now, it's important"
Rei was serious, really serious and as soon as the others guys realized it, they knew it was something really important; therefore, they start to worry.
"Rei, what's going on?" Max asked really concerned.
Rei looked at them, but he was speechless.
"Rei just say it" Tyson almost screamed.
"Ka-Ka, Kai is not going to come back; he-he is leaving" Rei finally said.
"What?" They all asked at the same time.
"Te-tell me you are joking, it's not true right?" Tyson asked.
"I knew something was going on, but I didn't even imagine he was going to leave again. Now tell us, why did he leave?" Max was angry.
Daichi didn't say a word, he was surprised, of course, but he felt it was not his business, not this time. He was part of the team, it did concerned him, but he was sure there were other things involved in this conflict, and he didn't feel part of it. It was something between them. So he slowly started to leave the room.
"I-I won't say anything, I tried to convinced him, but it was all in vain" Rei said.
"Why Rei? Why is he leaving again; say it, I know you know it" Tyson said.
Rei didn't answer.
"He promised us he was not going to leave, why do we always trust him?" Max thought out laud
"Come on Rei, say something" Tyson said.
"I-I can't" Rei look at Tyson, and at moment everything made sense for him.
"Ma-Max, can you leave us alone, please?" Tyson said, once he was over the shock.
Max was going to complain, but something in Tyson's voice told him he really needed to leave.
"Fine" Max said, and left the room.
Once Rei and Tyson were alone, Tyson started to speak.
"Rei, please, tell why did he leave, and tell me the truth"
Rei looked at him, but said nothing.
The last thing Kai told him was:
"Rei, if you still consider me your friend, don't tell Tyson the truth, please"
"Please, Rei tell me it has nothing to do with me"
Rei only looked at the ground and started to go to the front door, but Tyson stopped him.
"Rei, just said it. Why are you acting like this? Just tell me why Kai left"
"I won't say anything; I've fucked it up once already, I won't do it again" Rei was almost crying, he was not feeling fine. He said those words without really wanting to say them, and after saying that he left the house.
Tyson was paralyzed, what Rei had said was enough to confirm him everything. Kai was gone, and it was because of him.
One tear rolled through Tyson's cheek. He was still paralyzed; squatting on the floor.
Meanwhile
Daichi was in the kitchen, impatiently waiting for the talk to be over when suddenly he heard someone, he turned around and realized it was Max. He was a little confused.
"What happened?" Daichi asked.
"I don't know. Tyson asked me to leave"
"This whole situation is really strange, I left because I felt it was something between the three of you" Daichi said.
"Yeah, I suspected something was not right; now I know I was not wrong, but I still don't know what's going on. Rei didn't say anything"
"Tyson and Kai have been a little more distant than always lately, do you think it has something to do with it?" Daichi asked.
"I really don't know, but I have notice that too"
A few seconds later they heard the front door close; they looked at each other with clear confusion, and decided to go where the guys were.
When they were finally there they saw Tyson; alone looking at the floor.
"Tyson" Max said.
There was no answer
"TYSON" Daichi screamed.
Tyson was still in the same place, without even noticing his friends where there.
"Hey Tyson" Max said, getting closer to him and touching his shoulder.
"What happened? And where is Rei?'" Max said a few seconds later.
At that moment Tyson realized he was not alone anymore, he stood up and started to go to his room.
Daichi and Max looked at each other again really confused. They started to follow him, but Tyson told them:
"Leave me alone, please"
Tyson's POV
What's that feeling on my stomach? And why my chest is hurting like this? It seems as if something was constricting my chest. This is so horrible; I want to stop it.
I know why I'm like this; I feel betrayed. Kai left us once again after promising he was not going to leave this time; he told us he was going to stay. This was going to be our last tournament as team. Why does he always have to do the same? Why? He always leaves without saying one word. I'm tired of that; he is so childish and egoist. And I'm so stupid for believing him.
That is why my chest hurt this much, it has to be that. And besides I fell that at some point it's my fault, because I can't return his feeling. Well, actually it's not my fault he didn't even had the guts to tell me in the face his feelings. He just left without even saying anything; what a coward. I thought he was different; I tough he was braver, but he is not.
Agh, he is an idiot I shouldn't be feeling like this because of him. If he wants to leave it's better for me. He will regret it; I will make sure of that. We don't need him.
Normal POV
Daichi and Max were on the couch with the TV on, but they were not really paying attention to it. They were lost in his thoughts. Too many things had happen on this day; they couldn't be relaxed.
"Max"
"What?"
"I was going to stay out of this, but you know what? We are part of the team as well. I want an explanation; I won't sit here and do nothing. Let's go to Rei's house. And if he doesn't want to tell us anything we will have to go and find Kai. Are you with me?" Daichi said.
"You're right Daichi. Of course I'm with you buddy. Let's do it"
"Fine, let's do it now, we don't have time to lose. I'm ambitious; now I want to bring Kai with us as well. I don't want to see Tyson sad because of him"
"You're having too many good ideas today; it's not like you" Max said joking.
"Shut up and come with me, we have to look for Rei first"
On the way to Rei's house; they saw him sitting on a bench with his head down.
"Look, isn't that Rei?"Max asked Daichi; pointing to were Rei was.
"Yes, I think it's him"
"Hey, Rei" Max said.
Rei looked at them, stood up and started to walk once again.
"Wait, we are not going to stop until you speak to us, so don't even try to leave" Daichi said
Rei stopped and looked at them
"What do you want?" Rei asked.
"The truth" Max said.
"We don't care what happened between you, Kai and Tyson, but we are part of the team as well. Kai left, and we want to know what's going on" Daichi added.
"I don't want to excluded any of you, but I can't tell you, please understand; I'm not doing it because I think it's funny" Rei said.
"Then, tell us where Kai is, you must know that" Max said.
"I don't know where he is, but he told me he was going to leave for real. So I think he is leaving the country, not just the team"
"And where could he go to?" Daichi asked.
"There's only one place he could go to and that's Russia" Max told him.
"Oh, that's right" Daichi said, feeling a little stupid.
"But first we should go to his house maybe he is still there" Max said.
"Wait, where is Tyson?" Rei asked.
"Oh Tyson, he is at his house. We didn't even tell him we were leaving" Daichi said.
"Will you come with us?" Max asked Rei.
"No, I don't want to be in the middle of this"
"What? You don't care about the team" Daichi asked.
"I didn't say that, I Just- I. If Kai wants to leave we should let him. It was his choice" Rei said.
"At least make us a favor and tell Tyson we are gone, and tell him we are going to bring Kai back" Max said.
"No, I'm sorry but I won't. Send him a message or something" Rei said.
"What's going on with you?" Max asked.
"Just leave me alone and go if you stay here wasting your time you won't find Kai here in Japan"
"Fine" Max said.
"Daichi, do you have you cellphone?" Max asked.
"No. I left it at the house"
"So did I; fuck. Well, let's go. Tyson won't come out of his bedroom for a long time" Max said.
And just like that Max and Daichi started his journey in search of Kai.
