Chapter 5
Kai's perspective

"Oh my god," I said breathlessly as I started at Tasuki's eldest sister, staring at Tasuki. Her mouth was wide open and it looked as if she had seen a ghost. She started to speak, "What the hell is this Tasuki?"

"Nothing,"

"NOTHING! Nothing? You were making out with a guy,"

"I can explain,"

"No I don't think you can talk fast enough to convince me you're not gay,"

"I'm not I….I…just met Kai and well….I guess it looks well like I'm gay….so I have no excuse,"

"You're right you don't and I have another question…why did you make Kai cry?"

"You were crying Kai?" Tasuki asked me quietly. I looked at Tasuki with sad eyes and said, "Yes…I was."

"But why?"

"Because I am in love with you and I didn't know what to do when you rejected me the first time,"

"First time? HE ASKED YOU OUT A FIRST TIME?"

"Yes…well….sorta….he didn't come right out and say it-"

"TASUKI!"

"What?"

"Listen I don't care that you two are going out but mother will so I suggest you keep you act together,"

"Sister…"

"What is it?"

"Don't tell the others…..they will laugh and probably tell mother,"

"Okay." She looked at me and then at Tasuki again and said, "Don't let me catch you two love birds again."

"Kay sis," Said Tasuki solemnly. After that Tasuki's sister turned and left, I looked up again and looked over at Tasuki who was staring right back at me. We remained quiet for a while just staring into each others eyes until Tasuki walked over to me and said, "Don't worry about her," he lifted my chin and I said,

"Why do you like me now and not before?"

"I don't really know,"

"Yes you do….tell me,"

"I don't know what you do to me Kai…but I kinda like being around you….I realized it after you left…That maybe there could be something for us," I smiled and leaned closer to Tasuki, his clear blue eyes looking intent. Tasuki returned the gesture by leaning close enough so that they were centimeters away from each other.

Tasuki spoke softly into my ear, "Why do you like me?"

"I dunno, I guess it's because I've always loved Tasuki from the book….and meeting you made all my dreams come true…if you are that Tasuki,"

"Yes I am….Tasuki of the Suzaku seven….reborn into this world,"

"I'm glad…I've always loved Tasuki…he was so cool…I thought I was just like him….but now that I've met you, I know that I'm nothing like you but I want to be with you,"

"I think that you are more like me than you know….Kai," Before I could say anything, Tasuki kissed me on the lips softly. This is heaven.
