-Chapter 13-

« Oh my! What happened to you, honey?» asked Mrs.Hiwatari concerned, brushing her fingertips over the bruises on his face. Kai cast her a warning glare, telling her to stop snooping around in other people`s business.The woman flashed a bright smile and hugged Rei.

« Whatever may have happened to you..you`ll always be welcome here, okay?»

Rei nodded weakly and watched as she went to get his something warm to drink. Kai had been right...She didn`t try to pry out of him what had happened..she only wanted to care for him. Kai`s mom had recently come home from her trip, and she had gasped as she saw the neko`s face. Rei smiled slightly as he took the cup of tea in his hands, sipping to it carefully.

« Oh, and Kai-sweetie?»

He groaned at the petname.

« Don`t be like that..I`ll be going away again tomorrow...I`ll be gone for two days...I hope you don`t mind»

Kai arched an eyebrow at her curiously, making his mother blush and wink her hand at him. »Are you seeing someone mom?» he asked blankly, making her chuckle and flash him a sly smirk.

« Maybe I am..maybe not...that is none of your business, is it now?»

« Says the woman that always butts into mine..» muttered Kai as his mother left the room. Rei laughed at the remark, feeling better already. Rei finished his cup of tea and sat with his hands folded neatly in his lap.

« Wanna go upstairs?» Kai asked.

« Okay...»

Rei felt a bit uneasy though as they walked up the stairs and into Kai`s room. He had heard nothing from Tala yet...nor had he seen him. He knew his lover wouldn`t let him get away like this. Tala was bound to be up to something, and the thought made him feel scared. As he had stayed with the redhead for so many years he knew perfectly well what he was capable of when he was enraged. And that Kai had taken him away was bound to make him enraged aswell....And to top it all they didn`t know when or where Tala would strike. That was mainly why Rei didn`t want to leave the mansion.

But right now he could stay with Kai..and try to forget all of this,he thought as lips locked with his own. Such a bittersweet feeling it was. It hurt, yet it felt good at the same time. Rei felt it as if he was cheating...He was falling...and he had no parachute to open to slow it down. Hands ran up and down his back with featherlight and teasing touches, making him moan and cast his head backwards, leaving his neck open for kisses. And Kai gladly granted them. It felt so..strange to have Kai kissing him. His only friend ever..and now it seemed as if they had both changed from being friends to something alike boyfriends....but not quite that either. Rei wanted Kai to stay with him, wanted to be protected by the Russian. Was that..love too?

They pulled apart and lay breathing heavily.

« I`ll wait for you, Rei..for as long as you want me too» whispered Kai into his ear before getting off the bed to go to the bathroom.

It was dark in the house as both Kai and Rei had gone to bed, and Mrs.Hiwatari was off somewhere else. Where she had gone to she had kept a secret from her son. But before leaving she had whispered to Rei that she was going to town to meet a guy. Rei had chuckled at the comment. He sighed and opened his eyes. It was impossible to get any sleep at all, so he figured he might aswell go get something to eat.. He had skipped dinner today.

He left the warm embrace and closed the door to the room quietly behind him. This house was so huge...he didn`t quite understand how anyone could live here on their own. Kai spent a lot of time on his own here, but he didn`t mind. Rei would have gone insane if he was to be alone in this mansion often...He prefered small places really. The apartment he had shared with Tala hadn`t been small, but not big either...It had been just perfect.

It freaked him a little out to be wandering around on his own in the middle of the night...But he kept telling himself that he was no child anymore, that shadows couldn`t harm him...they were just shadows, nothing more. Turning on the kitchen lights he opened the fridge and took out a plate of sandwiches, feeling relieved as he took a bite and chewed on it carefully.

He sat by the table eating, deep in thought when his neko ears picked up a sound further away. Immideately he stopped eating and stoo up from the chair, heart beating insanely fast in his chest. What was that? But as there were no more sounds he shrugged it off, thinking it had to be his imagination. After all, he had watched The Ring with Kai last night. Man..what a creepy movie! He shuddered at the thought and took another bite.

Just as he started relaxing again there was another sound, almost like footsteps. This time he couldn`t simply shrug it off...he backed away from the table, further into the kitchen. There was that sound again! he thought, and his blood froze in his veins when he heard someone walk towards the kitchen. Why did he have to turn on the lights?? he thought panicked, desperately wanting to get out of the room and back to Kai. The steps stopped outside the kitchen for a moment before walking on. Rei`s heart stopped for a moment as he spotted Tala, eyes widening.
