"TA-DA!! OPERATION: GET REI AND TAKAO BACK TOGETHER!!!" Max and Tek announced with their poster.

Everyone sweatdrops.

"…Blondes…" Kai murmured,

"Kai! That was uncalled for!" Kaida scolded,

"Fine…those blondes!" Kai pointed at Max and Tek standing on Max's desk.

"Guys, that's just embarrassing, please put that away before someone walks in and sees it!" said Rei, red from embarrassment.

"But Love-Kitty! You love him don't you?" Tek asked,

"Yeah! Yeah! Rei-Rei does! Of course you do, right? And we're going to help!" said Max cheerfully,

"You'll be doing no such thing with this amount of work to do!" said Kai and pulled Max off the desk to get him to start working on his paperwork.

"But Kaaaaiiii!" Max cutely whined.

"You think I haven't grown immune to that by now?" Kai asked glaring at Max.

"No…" Max replied innocently. Kai sweatdrops,

"I don't know how someone with cuteness like this is still single…" Kai murmured.

Kaida turned to Rei,

"Listen Rei, no matter what happens; know that only you and Takao can solve the problem between you two. And no matter what happens, we'll all be here for you both," said Kaida with a smile. Rei nodded,

"Thank you, Kaida."

Takao walked out of the gym, exhausted after today's practice.

"TAKAO-KUUUN!" a mob of girls shouted the moment Takao stepped out.

"Whoa!" Takao was about to run back inside the gym but forgot there were girls in there too so he bolted, anywhere but here. He took a run down the woods filled with Wisteria and other flowers.

"Takao!"

Takao looked up to where he heard the voice, he only saw a hand reach out to him; he didn't hesitate to take it. Takao was pulled up into the tree and the girls ran past them.

Takao sat on the high branch catching his breath.

"It's a good thing there are so many flowers in these trees…hey, this is where Kaida and Kai first met…" Takao thought before turning to thank his savior. Takao nearly fell off the tree again from being so shocked and surprised but luckily, his savior saves him again. Takao started to breath heavily,

"Oh god, I don't need to be reminded about what happened back at Tokyo Tower! Thanks again, so…what are you doing all the way here in Japan?" Takao asked his lime green-haired friend.

"No, I haven't seen Olivier yet…maybe he got lost," said Max talking to Giancarlo on the phone,

"Max, that better be someone important if you're talking on the phone instead of doing work!" Kai shouted.

"Yes, I'll find him. It's not like he won't stick out. Everybody here is wearing their uniform unless they're in the University and he would still stand out because of his fashion sense!" Max continued on chatting.

"Max…" Kai repeated that name, losing his patience.

"Not only that, he'll be pretty easy to find anyway. He's most likely find places with food or art and stay there for a good enough time for me to find him!"

"MAX!"

"Gotta go, talk to you later!" Max hung up, "What, Kai?!"

"Why are you not working?" Kai asked, making it simple.

"Because Giancarlo called, asking if Olivier made it yet," said Max,

"Olivier? That French guy that's often mistaken as a girl?" Kai asked and Max groaned,

"Why does everyone say that?! And yes, it's him! I forgot today was the day he's coming here for a visit and now I have to go looking around for him," said Max getting up from his seat and took off but Kai grabbed a hold of his arm and spun Max around so that he'd be back in his seat,

"You'll stay here and work while I find someone that can speak French to make an announcement across BBA School…"

"Awe…Kaaaaiiii!" Max whined.

"There's someone French here?! How romantic!" Tek squealed,

"Shut up you spaz! Anyway, Kaida, I for one…can you please get that Spaz away from us?!"

"Love-Dove is mean…" Tek murmured,

"Okay Tek, just give me and Kai some privacy please?"

"Ooh! Okay! Tell all about it when you two are done having fun!" said Tek and finally leaves them alone.

"You were saying, Kai?" said Kaida turning her attention back on him.

"Don't you tell anyone this: But I'm kind of worried," said Kai and relaxed against the wall with Kaida joining him,

"Why? Because your French friend, Olivier, is coming over?"

"No, first off, he's not my friend; second, I'm worried because he knows about Rei and Kinomiya's relationship," Kai explained,

"…So?" Kaida asked,

"He only found out because he's friends with Kinomiya and Max. Through Max, Rei is on good terms with Olivier but because of that, Olivier found out about the relationship. He doesn't seem to mind so it never bothered me. But now that he's here, and the relationship is broken…listen, I'm only worried for Rei if Kinomiya found Olivier first…"

"So then he made me cross-dress! It was most embarrassing thing I ever did in my life!" Takao exclaimed,

"You didn't go out in public did you?!" Olivier asked with concern.

The two were headed for the BBA Café for a snack.

"Of course not! Besides, it was late at night, there was no one besides a certain someone that could've seen me," said Takao.

"Your brother is weird," said Olivier, "I mean, no offense to him, but he sure likes to torture you."

"That's Nii-Chan for you…" Takao murmured.

"Takao, may I ask something personal?" Olivier asked,

"Hm? Sure, go ahead."

"From when I saved you from those girls while relaxing up there in that tree to now, you have not mentioned once anything about Rei-San," said Olivier,

"What about him?" Takao asked giving Olivier a light glare hoping he'd get the point of not wanting got talk about Rei.

"Well, I know this was a 'long' time ago...but the last time we've talked, Rei-San was pretty much all you talked about," said Olivier lifting up his finger to prove his point.

"Well it must've been a long long time ago then!"

"Are you two…not together anymore?" Olivier asked,

"Gee, what makes you think that?" Takao asked sarcastically and pulls out a bag of cookies from his pocket, "Maybe this?" he asked and crushed them with one hand and threw them in the nearest trash can as they walked.

"Whoa, must've been a harsh break-up…" Olivier thought picking up the bag of cookies and properly threw them in the trash can since Takao missed.

"Were those his cookies?" Olivier asked catching up with Takao,

"The last batch he made for me some time ago. I usually eat his foods fresh but I was too depressed that time to eat so I held onto them. Now I have you to thanks that I finally disposed of them!"

"T-Takao, calm down. You look like you want to strangle someone…" said Olivier with a worried sweatdrop.

"I'M NOT THINKING OF HIM!!!" Takao shouted at the sky,

"I never said that!"

"I WANT HIM TO BURN IN HELL!"

"Takao! Calm down! You're overreacting!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There, feel better?" Olivier asked as Takao drank Olivier's juice that he quickly made.

"Yes…" said Takao and then tried to drink the rest of his cup in one gulp.

"Like it?" Olivier asked with a smile and Takao nodded still drinking.

"That's good! For someone that hates his vegetables, you sure like it when I put them in a drink for you!" said Olivier with a smile and Takao spat the drink out,

"What did you just say was in this?!" Takao exclaimed and Olivier laughed.

As night finally came, Rei prepared for his visit with Takao, but he had no idea what was in store for him.

"Oh…" Kaida murmured, worried. She was staying one last night with Takao before moving in with Tek but when he brought home a certain French friend, Kaida grew very worried.

"Kaida! This is Olivier! I met him when I went to France to beybattle!" said Takao and before Kaida could say anything, Olivier knelt down, took Kaida's hand to kiss it.

"Bonjour, it's a pleasure to meet a pretty friend of Takao's," said Olivier and not even Kaida could resist his charm when she blushed.

"Wow, and Kai think he's got Kaida wrapped around his finger…" Takao thought with a smirk but it turned into a frown, "Wait, that didn't sound right…"

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Olivier-Kun," said Kaida when Olivier stood up.

"Your kindness makes me feel very welcome here in Japan, please accept my token of gratitude," said Olivier and pulled out a red rose for Kaida.

"Oh, how sweet of you, thank you!"

"My pleasure, madam…"

"Okay, if you're done flirting with my ex's best friend's girlfriend, a.k.a. my rival's girlfriend, are we going to my room or not?" Takao pointed upstairs.

"Oh, right, coming!"

"Hold it! Takao, he's staying with us?!" Kaida asked pointing at Olivier.

"Well…yeah," Takeo nodded,

"I thought he was supposed to stay with Max," said Kaida,

"He said it was okay for Olivier to stay with me for a bit," said Takao.

"Oh…I see…well, I'll be helping your brother wash the dishes now…" said Kaida and headed for the kitchen as the two boys headed upstairs to Takao's room.

"Max you idiot!" Kaida hissed out loud when they were out of hearing range.

"Why did you just call Max an idiot?" Hitoshi asked which made Kaida nearly jump out of her skin,

"Where did you come from?!"

"I live here…"

"Never mind, it's nothing…" said Kaida and left the kitchen.

"I thought I heard you say you were going to help me with the dishes!" Hitoshi called after her.

"You have a very messy room," said Olivier looking at the clothes-covered floor and paper-covered desks. Oh, and the unmade bed.

"I know! I'm sorry; it's just that…I've had a very hard week…" Takao mumbled the last part.

"Oh…I see," said Olivier and sat on Takao's bed,

"I have a question though, why do you have a table in your room?" Olivier asked pointing at the small table.

"Oh, that…" Takao's face saddened at the thought. He and Rei would always eat some sweets there.

"It's nothing! I was going to put it away later!" said Takao with an obvious fake smile.

"Well since it's here, we might as well use it. Can I go to the kitchen and get something to eat for us? We haven't talked in a long time so what better way than to talk over something…sweet?" Olivier suggested.

"Oh…okay, but you're the guest so…"

"Don't worry about it! I might quickly make something while I'm down there. You don't mind right? I was told you had a tough week, so you just relax!" said Olivier and headed out of Takao's room and closed the door behind him.

Takao sighed and jumped on his bed on his stomach.

"I hate love so much…" he said out in his pillow. He then heard knocks on his balcony door. Takao groaned,

"Speak of the devil…" Takao murmured and got off his bed and looked behind the curtains this time. He does not plan on getting kidnapped again.

"Guess it really is Rei…I hope…wait, not I don't!"

Takao unlocked his balcony door to let the thief inside,

"What do you want? I'm alright if that's what you're here for," said Takao closing the door. Rei quickly removed his mask and hat and puts his cane down,

"Takao! I…well yes I was going to ask if you were okay… but that's besides the point of why I'm here!"

Takao crossed his arms,

"I don't want to hear it. The less I see you, the better," said Takao and walked passed Rei to sit on his bed.

"Taka…wait, I just wanted to apologize. I didn't mean for something like that to happen. And I'm sorry for hurting your feelings! Just please stop looking at me like the way you're looking at me right now because I feel bad enough already…" said Rei who finally let off some of the weight on his shoulders. Takao looked away; hey, he said not to look at him that way.

"Rei…I'm going to say this once, and I won't say this again," said Takao getting up to face Rei.

"Yes?" Rei got a very uncomfortable feeling about what's about to be thrown at him.

"…I hate you and I don't want you ever to come back here again! In fact, don't even look at me at school so stop watching me from a tree! I don't want anything to do with you anymore! I don't want anything to with someone that doesn't even put me above his hobbies you $!#!!!" Takao shouted at Rei, taking a step foreword for every sentence he made forcing Rei to back up against a wall.

"T-Taka, wait I-"

"And stop calling me that!"

"Brooklyn still calls you that…"

"Don't compare yourself to him!! Unlike you, at least he had a good reason for breaking up with me!!"

"What reason? He just couldn't handle the responsibilities of-"

"Don't get me started on reasons and responsibilities, Rei! I had enough reasons to break up with you myself long ago!"

"But you didn't…"

"That's because I was being stupid!"

"…" Rei couldn't say anything, especially since everything he's said so far was thrown right back at him making him feel worse.

"…So get out and don't come back. I don't need you anymore…" said Takao quietly and turned his back to Rei and started to walk away, heading for his door; but Rei quickly grabbed Takao's arm and kept a firm grip,

"But I need you!!!" Rei shouted, "I don't give a damn if you hate me!! But how can you expect me to stay away from you?! Especially after everything we've been through how can you just throw me away like this?! Takao, you mean more to me than you think!! Please don't do this to me, Taka-Chan. I love you…" Rei cried, now in tears. Rei fell to knees, with both hands holding Takao.

"Please don't do this to me…I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! Please forgive me! Taka please! I'm begging you! Please believe me, I mean it! I mean every word, I'll never take you for granted again, I swear!"

Takao remained silent, having his heart and his mind battle for a decision as Rei cried. Takao pulled Rei to his feet and almost lost his balance from being a bit shaky.

"…I'm sorry Rei. But spare me the drama and go. My brother, Kaida, or anyone else in this house could've heard you from your yelling…go and don't come back," Takao ordered and forced Rei off his arm. Rei stepped back towards the balcony door, not believing what Takao is saying.

"For crying out loud! GO! I'm not going to change my mind!" Takao shouted. Rei flinched as be continued to back away, never has Takao yelled at him like that before. Rei hesitated, but he grabbed his cane and continued on his way out the door.

"Taka…"

Takao shook his head,

"Just go! Please just go! Just save us both the trouble! I thought I was the stubborn one!"

Rei lets out more tears as he forced himself to turn away from Takao and run out into the night. He stopped below Takao's balcony to put the rest of his costume back on; his mask covering, the still wet, tears. And he once again, forced himself, to leave the area.

Takao kicked the piece of furniture that held many memories as he angrily went over to his bed to grab his pillow and screamed into it.

Outside the door, everything was heard for a certain someone.

"Who would've though that the infamous, or famous, thief with 20 Faces and 20 Masks is no other than my culinary friend and rival, Rei Kon…"

"You got that right."

Olivier jumped when he heard Hitoshi who walked up to him and nearly dropped all the sweets he was holding,

"You knew?" Olivier asked after regaining balance of holding those sweets,

"Yes, mainly because my little brother isn't very good at hiding things," said Hitoshi, "He thought I didn't know but he once stuffed that thief in his, very messy and full, closet when he heard me coming. It's not that hard to hear those things behind this door as you've just learned today."

"So all this time, Takao has been dating the most wanted thief of this century?" Olivier asked,

"Yeah, but now that you know, you cannot tell anyone! You weren't even supposed to hear what happened in there!"

"He's a thief, I believe he should be turned in whether he's Rei Kon or not," said Olivier with a sense of justice.

"At least he's good guy at heart and he makes a great cake," said Hitoshi.

"I can out-cooked Kon-San any day," said Olivier proudly,

"Well we'll never know unless you guys have a cook-off or something…"

"Brilliant idea!"

"Oh no…I opened my mouth again didn't I?"

Rei curled his body up in a ball like a kitten does when it wants to sleep or to just look cute. But nothing was cute about this situation for Rei. Rei stayed in that position on his bed and under the covers, until he ran out of tears to cry or until he loses his voice from saying "Taka-Chan" over and over again as the tears fell.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What? Rei's absent today?!" Max exclaimed the next morning in the office at his desk, "But he's almost never absent!"

"It seems so…" said Kai who was trying to hide his worried expression,

"I wonder what happened. Did he get sick or something?" Max asked worriedly running up to Kai. Kai pulled out his cell phone,

"Only one way to find out."

Rei's ears picked up his cell phone ringing inside the drawing he hid it in. Only one caller had the loudest ring and it was Kai. Rei rolled over on his bed and was about to get it but he just pulled the covers up even more, refusing to get out of bed or talk to talk to anyone today.

Kai closed his phone,

"Alright, he didn't pick up, so these are the following possibilities: He's in the Washroom and didn't bring the phone in with him like I always tell him to, he's out of his phone's range for some reason, or he's dead," said Kai and Max almost screamed,

"Don't scare me, Kai! He could just be asleep!"

"I told him to put my ring tone as the one that sticks out to him the most as well as having mine ring at max volume so that he'd know it's me and I specifically told him to always pick it up when it's me! Rei's not a heavy sleeper, plus he has good hearing, it's not going to be hard for Rei to hear his phone when I'm calling unless he dropped dead or something…"

"But…you don't think he's really dead do you?" Max whimpered in anime tears.

"Of course…" Kai stared at Max's watery eyes, "I don't…"

Max let's out a sigh of relief,

"But what could be wrong with Rei?"

"That's the reason I called! What force could possibly make him ignore me! He never does!"

"Kai! You're supposed to be worried about him not worried about his reasons!" Max scolded with an anime vein.

"Whatever…"

"Let's go visit him after school! What you say?" Max suggested,

"Yeah…sure," Kai replied with his arms crossed, "Now let's get back to work, it's not going to be easy with Rei gone for the day."

"Okay then! I will work extra hard today for Rei!" said Max cheerfully with his hand near his head as if he was about to salute. Max raced to desk to start working.

"If I knew Max would be so willing to work when Rei's gone I would've told Rei to take some days off long ago…" Kai thought with a sweatdrop.

Takao stared out the window of his classroom, not paying attention again.

"I wonder…if I did the right thing. I don't want to get hurt anymore. So it was the best for me that we aren't together anymore…isn't it? But I feel so terrible; I didn't think Rei would…-he never…-I never saw him…"

The image of Rei last night flash before him and Takao just felt sick.

"I never saw him cry before. Never saw him shed a tear…until now. I didn't think that…it would affect him that much…"

A ruler slapped on Takao's desk snapping him out of his thoughts.

"I assume you can't give me the answer since you have a manga out on your desk instead of your text book…" said Takao's teacher and he slowly slipped his manga back into his bag and pulled out the right book while staring into his teacher's eyes, afraid to look away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You've been out of it today, Takao, what's wrong?" Mystel asked during lunch as they all sat together.

"I don't know…" Takao replied staring at his uneaten meal, head on both his arms on the desk.

"You think you got problems?! I'm going to be doing make-up work in a month because I'll be on tour for this month!" said Ming Ming,

"At least you get to miss school," said Mystel taking a bite from his sandwich.

"Mystel…I feel bad about something. That usually means I did something bad right?" Takao asked through his arms that he's still sitting his head in.

"Usually yes…what did you do?" Mystel asked and started drinking his water. Takao knew there was no point avoiding it so he just went straight to the point.

"Has anyone ever made Rei cry before? Because I did last night…"

Mystel started choking on his water,

"Why do people always eat or drink stuff when I'm being serious?!" Takao asked finally sitting straight up.

"WHAT did you do?!"

"Do I really have to repeat myself?"

Ming Ming stared wide-eyed and Mystel looked like he was thinking he was dreaming and wants to wake up.

"Takao, how could you!?" Ming Ming nearly wailed,

"Hey! He broke up with me first! I'm just making sure it stays that way!" Takao defended himself.

"That's still no reason to upset someone like that!" Ming continued to argue,

"You don't understand. It was situation that required me to be mean!"

"You liar!"

"Hey! You weren't there! You can't accuse me of that!"

"Whoa! Stop! You two, enough! Takao, what in the world could've made you be mean in the first place? Sure you can get cranky from time to time, but you're never the mean guy. Seriously, what could possibly piss you off that badly for you to-?"

"Rei wouldn't go away!"

"…I thought you wanted him to go to you," said Mystel a bit confused.

"No…not after I realized that I don't need him. I was so dependent on him, I'm always depending on someone whether I'm showing that or not. Before love even came into my life, I always cling onto my brother. When I finally fell in love for the first time, I moved that 'depending on others' nature onto my first lover. And then Rei came along and then I moved onto him. But after that incident at Tokyo Tower, I realized that not everyone can be there for me when I need them. No one was there for me that time, until everyone finally came that is. I was scared, but because of fear it helped gained my independence. And I don't want to keep getting hurt. Rei's hurt me on more than one occasion and I think this break-up is actually a good idea," Takao explained.

"But Takao, what about Rei's feelings?" Mystel asked,

"I'm hoping he'll get over it and he should. Besides, he's always by Kai's side it's no wonder why there are some people in this school wants them together despite the fact that Kai's got someone," said Takao.

"Takao! Stop thinking like that, Damn it!"

But no matter how hard Mystel and Ming Ming tried, Takao didn't change is mind…

After school, Max and Kai paid a visit to Rei's place. Max brought along some cookies for Rei wrapped in a box.

"He hasn't come out least, not when we came home," Mao explained, worried, leading the two boys to Rei's room.

"Rei! It's me, Max! Oh, and Kai's here too!"

"I'm not feeling too well, Max," said Rei from inside his room. He sounded tired and his sentence was almost murmured.

"Kai?" Max turned to Kai, worried. Kai mumbled something under his breath and moved Max out of his way.

"For crying out loud! KON!" Kai banged on Reis' door which made Max slither into the corner, whimpering in fear.

"Kai's mad! He's scary when he's mad!" Max thought holding Rei's gift close.

"Get the hell out of there right now!!! So what if the Dobe dumped you?!"

"Uh, K-Kai, they never got back together…" Max reminded, "So technically, he wasn't dumped."

"Whatever! Stop moping around, Kon! Get out of there before Max starts crying!"

Max looked at Kai weirdly, he wanted to cry the moment Kai got mad.

Kai glared at Max, his looks asking 'why aren't you crying yet?'

Max finally understood the idea and started thinking up sad thoughts.

"Dead puppies, dead puppies, dead puppies…"

Tears started to form in Max's eyes,

"Rei! Please come out!" Max cried,

"Dead puppies, dead puppies, dead puppies…"

"Rei! I'm really worried about you!" Max wailed with tears falling.

They could hear Rei groan and covers being moved and headed for the door.

The door slowly opened,

"Max, come on…alright guys, just come in," said Rei and let the two inside, "You can stop crying now, Max."

Max quickly recovered after he stopped thinking about dead puppies.

"Here Rei! I brought cookies!" said Max, now all smiles.

"I keep getting the feeling Kai had something to do with Max's crying…" Rei thought.

"Thanks, Max," said Rei taking the box from him, "I'll eat them later…"

"So…what happened?" Kai asked, getting straight to the point as he sat on Rei's bed, arms crossed.

"Do I really have to talk about it?" Rei asked,

"Yes, because I came all the way here and you think I did that just to deliver cookies? I don't think so!"

"Kai sure has a weird way of saying he cares…" Max thought with a sweatdrop.

Rei sighed and sat in his desk chair to start telling them what happened…

"Here, try this, Takao," said Olivier picking a piece of his cake up with his fork and reached for Takao's mouth with his other hand underneath incase any of the cake falls. Takao muttered something under his breath before turning his head to the piece of cake on the fork. Mystel wouldn't leave him alone today and he was sick of it. Finally, he able to spend time with the one friend that can make him anything, anytime, as much as he wanted, food for him. The two were at the large BBA Café with Takao leaning on the table.

"Say ah!"

Takao opened his mouth but not very big, Olivier gave him a look and Takao lifted his body off the table and opened his mouth,

"Ah…!"

As soon as that sweet taste filled Takao's mouth, his worries were lifted and he smiled with joy.

"Oh my gosh! It's Takao! And that guy with him is SOOO cute!" Tek squealed and was about to glomp them both if Kaida wasn't there to hold her back and cover her mouth. Kaida saw what happened and grew worried...

Kaida ran all the way to Rei's house; it's a good thing Mao invited her over to help her with her cooking and baking skills or she won't even know where to look for Kai, Rei, and Max!

"Kai! Kai!" she called for him until she found him in Rei's room.

"Oh…Rei, uh…" Kaida thought Rei would too upset and lock himself in his room but apparently not…

"What's wrong, Kaida?" Max asked,

"Um…Rei, can I borrow…" Kaida's eyes went from Kai to Max, "Max real fast?!"

The boys gave her a strange look before Kaida went and grabbed Max herself and pulled him out of the room door.

"Wasn't she just calling your name?" Rei asked and Kai had an annoyed look on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's wrong?" Max asked again.

"You're the expert on the love compared to the rest of us. Max, if I saw someone feeding Takao, does that mean something's going on or is that common for friends?" Kaida asked and Max lifted a brow,

"Well…do you feed your friends?" Max asked and Kaida looked worried,

"No…"

"Okay, so...there might be something going on. Is it Mystel?" Max asked and Kaida shook her head.

"I was at the café with Tek buying some sweets for you guys until I saw Olivier-Kun and Takao at a table and…well…"

"Wait, I know he's staying with Takao but how in the world can there be something going on between them?!" Max exclaimed.

"What?! What's going on between Takao and someone?!" Rei exclaimed from behind. Max and Kaida suddenly felt stupid for leaving the door open.

"Nothing…" the two said in unison trying to make is sound as if it's really nothing.

"No wonder you two never lie, you're bad at it," said Kai and the two stared at each other.

Rei didn't hesitate to demand who the other person was which forced Max and Kaida to reveal that it was Olivier.

"He's a real gentleman though. He might not even like guys; he gave me this last night and kissed my hand. He's very sweet!" said Kaida pulling out her rose to show them and Kai suddenly growled like an angry mad dog. Kaida quickly hid the rose again.

"Wait, if you're here, then where's Tek?" Max asked and Kaida slapped herself for leaving her at the café!

Tek hid in the tree that's actually inside the café. The café is fairly large with real plants put in them.

She looked down at Takao and Olivier,

"I could make you mine if I could. You're all I ever looked at after Michael started dating this Emily person. Now what do I do, Takao-Kun? Who do I look at now?"

"Rei-Sempai…if you want him back you better hurry up before it's too late…" said Tek in a serious tone. It grew more serious when Takao and Olivier started to leave the cafe together, all smiles and laughs.

"Everyone, I know much more than you all think. Rei-Sempai…I know you're the greatest thief that ever lived. Yet, you let me down, I expected more from you. I thought a thief is supposed to hang onto something they stole. You can't even hang onto the one and only heart you have stolen in your life!"

Waaaaaaah! I can't do angst! I keep throwing in funny comments by another character! I can't help it! It's a habit! The most angsty part I have in this whole story so far is one scene in a future chapter that I started to write out!

Notes:

-I was almost lazy enough to type Oliver instead of Olivier! Yeah, I know, it's just one extra letter; but it got tiring knowing that Oliver is only a letter shorter!

-Rei sometimes watches Takao from a tree to watch over him and to be there for him right away when he needs him. No, he's not being a stalker but he was always afraid to be assumed as one if he ever got caught (he did).

-Hitoshi was the one that made Takao cross-dress in "Neko-Jin of Many Faces" I even drew it!

Next: Rei confronts Olivier himself about what Kaida saw and Olivier doesn't deny it. It didn't take long for a fight to break out because of Rei's jealousy…

Except it only made things worse for Rei when his actions angered Takao.

PLEASE R and R!
