Two Worlds: Chapter 3:
Resurrection
The next day during breakfast, the phone suddenly ring, which was unusual because the people Mao worked with always phoned her on her cell phone. Since it was early in the morning, the maids and butlers had other things to do, making Kei get up to pick up the phone.
Rei, being curious, stared at Kei because he wanted to know who it was. He got even more curious when Kei had a shocked and scared face when he told Mao to take the phone. Mao's face turned pale when Kei said it was from someone named 'Voltaire'. (AN: DUN DUN DUN!)
At first, when Mao was talking to him, she had a scared face and her voice was trembling. But after a while, her face became angry and her voice became aggressive. Mao suddenly slammed the phone and started to cry.
"Mother!" Reiko cried as she ran over to Mao's side, trying to comfort her.
"W-what happened?" Rei asked, scared.
"Rei...have you ever wondered why you were left behind at the orphanage...?" Lee, Rei's father spoke up. Rei looked at him shocked.
"Rei, do you know who Voltaire is?" Lee asked.
"He's that guy that got arrested for molesting, beating, raping children, dealing drugs to minors, tore apart many buildings and he was also the one that had starting the bombing of a cruise ship..." Rei asked, scared.
"That's right..." Lee took a deep breath, "During the time he was in jail, Mao had taken over the 'SHINE' because Voltaire's son, Susumu Hiwatari, was involved in an accident, causing him to loose his life. At the same time, his son was too young to take over the company. Since Mao was a good friend of his, she took over the company until Susumu's son was finished school, including university." Lee finished.
"That still doesn't explain why I was abandoned." Rei said, getting more eager to know why he was abandoned.
"Voltaire was an evil man. When Mao visited him with his grandson at jail one day, Voltaire found out about everything. He blamed Mao for the death of Susumu and he vowed that he would take her son's life, which was you."
"But what about Kei? Is he not a boy?" Rei asked, confused.
"You see, Kei and Reiko aren't Mao's...they're not related by blood." Lee looked down, "Kei and Reiko are my children from my previous wife."
"O-Oh..." Rei looked down.
"So the reason we abandoned you was not because we didn't want you but because we loved you." Lee explained.
"But why did you bring me back?" Rei asked.
"Well, Voltaire...died." Lee frowned. Rei did as well.
"If Voltaire died, then how can this guy be Voltaire?" Rei asked.
"I-I don't know..." Lee looked down, "We even attended his funeral..." He held his head in his hands. Everyone became silent again, everyone was thinking.
All of a sudden, the phone rang again. This time, it was Reiko who picked up the phone.
"H-hello?" She asked with a shaky voice.
"Kon-san, people will look down on you if you show that kind of greeting." A familiar voice said from the other line. Reiko sighed in relief, glad it was none other than Kai.
"What do you want?" Reiko asked calmly this time.
"Tell Rei that he's three hours late." Kai responded a bit angrily.
"Okay." Reiko smiled, "Rei-chan You're three hours late"
"What the—!? What are you talking about!?" Rei looked at the clock and swore loudly. He got up, shoved his toast down his throat, drank the milk and ran out the door. Everyone was silent.
"Erm, he's coming now." Reiko told Kai.
"Finally, that idiot." Kai said as he hanged up the phone.
——————————-at SHINE
Rei finally arrived...four hours late. He almost collapsed when he entered the building. Luckily for him, Kai was there to catch him.
"T-Thanks a lot..." Rei's breathing started to become less and less harsh. After a few minutes, he was able to stand on his own again.
"Come on, you have lots of things to do today." Kai said as he went towards the elevator.
"Okay." Rei followed him. The day of the concert was approaching really quickly, everyone, including Rei, was nervous.
"Uh, so what are we doing today?" Rei asked, attempting to start a conversation so he would feel a bit calmer.
"We're going to practice. After lunch, a designer is coming in to show us the costumes and see if they fit us." Kai explained.
"Oh." Was Rei's reply. There was awkward silence again. When the elevator went 'ding', they both got out and went into a room where Yuriy and Bryan were so they could practice and Rei could...watch.
After some time passed, the door was suddenly thrown open. At the door was an old man and on either side of him two huge men in black suits. Kai, Yuriy and Bryan were shocked at who it was. They were absolutely speechless.
"Voltaire..." Bryan said under his breath. Rei looked at Bryan and realized where he had heard that name before. 'No way...this morning...'
"Hello there, Kai...Yuriy and Bryan...and who's this?" Voltaire smiled evilly.
"Why the hell are you here? You're supposed to be dead." Kai asked in a cold voice. Rei noticed that Kai's knees were shaking.
"Aw, not even a simple 'hello' or 'welcome back'?" Voltaire smiled evilly. All of a sudden, the two huge men went and lunged at Yuriy and Bryan. Soon after, Yuriy and Bryan were knocked out. Kai swore loudly and grabbed Rei by the wrist and ran towards the second entrance.
"You can run, but you can hide, but remember, you can't run forever my dears." Voltaire said as he watched Kai pull Rei out of the room.
