Chapter 6: Warning...

Rei stayed inside his room, or to better put it, cellar. All he could do was try to look out the window to watch the new neighbors next door play outside. There were more of them, but Rei couldn't show himself to any of the rest. He had gone too far yesterday. It was a sudden movement across the side of their property that caught his eye. He realized it was Tyson and Max, going to their front door. Rei's eyes widened with fear. What were they doing? Rei realized that they were going to ask for him. They couldn't. His parents were home already...they would know. He quickly got out of the room, and rushed downstairs. Too late. Sysuke had already opened the door.

"Hello, there." Sysuke smiled, letting his fangs show slightly.

"Hello, um-"

"Sysuke." He answered, extending his hand. Tyson took it, but spotted Rei on the stairs. Rei quickly signaled for him to be quiet. Tyson was looking at him with a confused look on his face. Max spotted him before Rei could go upstairs.

"Hey, Rei!" Max waved. Rei froze, he thought his heart had stopped beating for a moment. Sysuke looked toward Rei with a shocked look on his face.

"Rei? What are you-" Sysuke got cut off as Rei rushed over to him, and covered his mouth.

"Shhh! Please don't tell mom about this." Rei pleaded, although Tyson and Max were still standing there.

"What are you guys talking about?" Max asked.

"He-um, he's grounded. He wasn't suppose to go outside." Sysuke lied.

"Oh, well we're sorry. We'll come back later." Tyson pulled Max along with him while Sysuke closed the door.

"You went outside?" Sysuke asked. Rei swallowed back the knot in his throat before opening his mouth to speak.

"I-I was only trying to help them. They were carrying this big box, and-"

"Rei, people know you're here!" Sysuke cut him off, "If they see Zak, then realize that it's three of us in here, not to mention Ryuji, we're all done for!" Sysuke shook his head.

"I know, I know. I was stupid, but please don't tell mom about this, please." Rei pleaded, tears already threatening to come out.

"Okay, okay. Just don't go outside again." Sysuke took hold of his shoulders to calm him down.

"Thank you, Sysuke. I owe you one." Rei hugged him. Sysuke only smiled.

"Hey, what are brothers for?" Sysuke parted the hug, then sighed. "Well, it's time to eat. Mother's been in there for quite a while now, talking to dad." Sysuke headed toward the kitchen.

"Sysuke." Rei called him.

"Hmm?" Sysuke turned toward him.

"You're not going to tell, are you?" Rei asked, still unsure if Sysuke was telling the truth.

"Of course not. I'm not Zak." Sysuke replied before heading inside the kitchen door. Rei smiled to himself for a moment, then headed inside the kitchen.

XDXDXDXD

Rei POV

That was a close call...what if that had been Zak that opened the door? What if it had been mom, or dad? I would've been in so much trouble...THEN I would've been grounded. I have to tell Tyson and Max the truth. Then I'll know if I can trust them or not. Only them. I've been asking myself these questions since yesterday night. I could hardly sleep. Today is Friday, I should be able to tell them. Mom and dad are at work, Zak and Sysuke at school...and Ryuji is still asleep. Right now would be a good time...but I don't know if they're up yet.

Despite not knowing where they slept or anything, I took a guess while I was outside. They seemed to be about the oldest out of all of them, unless I missed some, but It'll be a risk I'm willing to take. I climb up the two story house, and know that I'll be bound to find them in one of the rooms up on the second floor. I look inside one of the windows, but see nothing. I climb over to the second one, then hear snoring. I see Max's face. I realize that there are bunk beds. Tyson must be the one who's snoring, and on the top one.

"Pssst. Max." I whisper. Should I poke him? No, he'll probably scream. "Max. Max!" I raise my voice a bit more. He stirs, opening his eyes groggily. "Max, it's me." I smile at the look on his face.

"Huh?" He's suddenly wide awake. "Rei? Aren't you grounded?" Max asked.

"I've got to explain something to you." I whisper, "Wake Tyson up." Max sighs.

"It might take me until noon to do that."

"Is he a heavy sleeper?" I ask.

"Yes. I know what'll work, though."

"What?" I ask. My hands are getting tired of hanging onto this. What if someone sees me up here?

"Shhh." He goes up the stairs to Tyson's bed. "Tyson! We're out of food!"

"Wha?"! Tyson sits up in a hurry. "Who ate it and didn't tell me?" Tyson looks around, wide awake. Max is laughing.

"Never fails." Tyson glares at Max.

"Why'd you do that? I knew there was food."

"I have something important to tell you." I interrupt. He looks at me with a confused look on his face.

"You ARE weird. What are you doing climbing up the house?"

"I have to tell you something." I climb inside.

"Aren't you grounded?" Tyson asks me.

"Well, that's what I came to talk to you about." I tell him.

"What is it?" Max asks.

"Well, the real reason I'm not suppose to go outside is because, um, because-"

"Because?"

"I'm a third child." I tell them. They look confused for a moment.

"Oh..." Max sits back down on the bed. "So...you're illegal?"

"Yeah...you're not suppose to know I exsist." I tell them.

"Wow. And I thought we were in for it. You can't even go outside, can you?" Tyson asks, slipping off the top bunk bed.

"You guys aren't going to tell anyone, are you?" I ask.

"Of course not. Your secret is safe with us-err, I mean, you're safe with us 'cause you're the secret." Tyson laughs sheepishly.

"Thanks guys." I sigh with relief. "Well, I have to go." I tell them.

"Bye, Rei. We'll see you-" Max stops in midsentence. "How will we see you?" He asks.

"I'll figure out a way." I tell them, "Just don't go to my house asking for me again." I tell them.

"Gotcha, Rei." Tyson smiles while I climb back out.

"See you guys later." I tell them before quickly climbing down the house, then running into my own. I'm safe now. I hope no one else saw me...and I really hope that they'll keep their mouths shut...for my sake.
