-FINAL CHAPTER-


Where..was he? he thought as he opened his eyes to be met by a sharp light. White walls surrounded him...white hospital walls. He sat bolt upright in bed, whimpering at the pain the rushed through his side and back at the sudden move.

« Tala...Kai...» he whispered sadly, leaving his bed. Kai was lying in the bed across the room by the window and he limped his way over there to stand by him. The Russian`s face was even paler than usual, his breathing steady though. Rei sighed in relief, tears coming to his eyes. Slowly he reached out his hand and brushed away some bluish bangs from his friend`s forehead.

« Hey kid, why are you up? You should be in bed resting!» interupted a male voice. Rei turned on his heels, staring wide-eyed at the young doctor..in a white coat. Memories floated into his mind from his childhood, his breath caught in his throat.

« G-go away.....D-don`t hurt m-me....» he stammered, backing away. The young man shook his head and smiled.» I won`t hurt you,kiddo....I was just saying that you should be in bed»

« Tala! How is Tala? I must know..please tell me!» he begged, the tears making his eyes all sparkly.

« Calm down...are you talking about the redhead that came in with you?»

« Y-yes!»

The man sighed, a sad expression on his face. Oh no, Rei thought, that look means no good!!!

« The redhead is still in a critical condition...His chances of survival are small as a matter of fact»

Rei felt it as if someone had stabbed him through the heart with a knife..he sank onto his bed and sat there limply, staring at his own hands.

» I love you both....don`t die on me» he whispered to no one in particular.


Kai was worried about the neko boy..Rei had been practically catatonic for two days now, not speaking...and barely responding to his vocie or touch. What was going on in Rei`s mind?He couldn`t tell...often he would find his friend standing by Tala`s bed, watching over the pale form on the bed. Tala was still in coma, he had been for the past week. Kai himself had gotten away with only a stab wound that now was healing pretty well, and a broken shoulder. Rei seemed to have forgotten his fear of hospitals and doctors, because he didn`t respod at seeing them either...It was almost as if he couldn`t see any of them, like his mind was stuck in a dimension he had created in his own head.

« Rei..please come back to us!" he begged quietly, placing a hand on the neko`s shoulder. Rei stood silently staring at the unconscious Tala, his eyes blank as empty holes the colour of golden. Unable to bear the pressure anymore Kai seized him by the shoulders, turned him around and pulled him closer, wrapping his arms around him in a tight hug. The tears that he had been holding back for so long could not be held back anymore...and they were released from his eyes, flowing down his cheeks greedily. He sobbed into Rei`s wonderful, soft raven hair, his body shaking as he cried.

« C-come b-back! I n-need you!» he begged.

Rei stirred in his arms, his eyes closing to slowly open again. He blinked a couple of times and suddenly realised that Kai was holding him tightly. What was....going on here?

« Kai?»

« Rei? Are you ok?» asked the Russian in relief as Rei stared at him in wondering, feeling a sigh of relief escape his lips.

« Yeah..I think so...what are we doing here? Isn`t this...a hospital?» Golden eyes widened at the realisation, his bottom lip quivering at the thought. Kai nodded, pressing him close to his chest again. Rei spotted tala lying on the bed, a look og sorrow coming to his beautiful face.

« Oh my...what happened to him? He looks so..pale..is he going to be okay?»

« The doctors don`t know yet...Don`t you remember? Tala broke into my house..and attacked me with a knife. I had to gut him with the knife in self-defence....»

« He may...die?» Rei asked fearfully, looking from Kai to the redhead.

« Yeah...»

« Then I guess this is...goodbye, for good this time» Rei said, a sudden firmness to his voice that surprised him. Rei had never sounded this certain of himself before. He moved closer to the bed and bent down, pressing his lips to Tala`s in a soft kiss before stepping back, his face blank.

« This is the last time, Tala. There is nothing between us anymore. I..I don`t belong to you. And I hope our paths never cross again»

With those words he walked past Kai and out of the room.

Kai leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, a blank look on his stony face. He kept his worries and concerns inside for no one other than him to see. His boyfriend was soon up to do his performance....After all the things that had happened to the neko, he still insisted on performing with a song during Summer`s festival despite the protests from the principale and Mrs.Pole. Being stubborn as hell he had demanded to be allowed to sing...

He sighed and left his place by the wall to move further towards the stage, to get a better wiew of his boyfriend. There were people everywhere, and the huge crowd made him feel really uneasy. But he was to perform afterwards though, so he couldn`t leave. Besides, he wouldn`t miss Rei singing for all in the world!

The people silenced as someone cleared their throat and whistled for attention. Upon the stage stood Rei along with the principale, and she was holding a microphone in her left hand, flashing a huge smile at the audience.

« Well everyone...It is time for one of our students to sing a song for you..His name is Rei, please welcome him, all of you!» she said happily, and the crowd cheered. Kai could see that the smile Rei gave was forced and a tad bit anxious. He took the microphone he was handed and raised it to his mouth, waiting for the signal to started off.

Forgotten whispers
Broken lies
My soul escaped
But then it died.

You felt so right
You were so wrong
I should have seen it
All along

Kai`s heart was beating so fast within his chest, he thought he might stop breathing. Rei`s voice was so beautiful....ever more than he could remember it. It sounded so sad and mellow...yet so alive, following the melody perfectly. He fell in love with that voice instantly. Rei had written the song himself, and Kai knew it was about Tala. It seemed so sad to think of.

You broke my heart
Smashed my soul in two
You smiled and knew
I would have died for you

I love you so
I hate you too
Can you not see
I can’t see Past you.

The music faded away to nothing..and Rei opened his eyes again to stare straight at him. He held the gaze, deep purple eyes locked with golden ones. Kai could see the pain in those beautiful orbs, and he dreaded it, hoping he could be able to heal the wounds and scarrs on Rei`s troubled soul. Rei reached out his hand.

« Come up here Kai....let`s sing together» he said quietly and Kai smiled as he walked through the crowd, they made way for him. The other students of their school stared in disbelief when Kai climbed the stage and stood by the neko`s side.

« My boyfriend and I are going to sing you a song...Kai wrote it and insisted that we should sing it today....The other song I wrote myself, it is called no escape..I hope you will enjoy this duet» he said, making people gasp at the word «boyfriend»

Some of their classmen cast Rei nasty and disgusted glares, but turned their heads away as soon as Kai looked their way, succesfully making them stop staring. Kai took a microphone for himself and looked at Rei as they waited for the melody to begin.

The world keeps spinning non stop
and you feel like you cant hang on
that the carousell makes you dizzy
with it`s unforseen twists and turns

In such time,please hold on
In such times,dont let go

And you wake up only to find
the space beside you empty
and all you wish for is warmth
and a place of yours to stay

Kai had written the lyrics while pondering upon Rei and his love for the redhead..Tala was still in a deep coma, and Rei had told him that he would not go visit him again..He wanted to be free of his former lover. There had been tears in his eyes after they left the hospital. Kai knew it hrut for his boyfriend to leave his lover for good...to leave the time he had spent with him behind as nothing but a memory at the back of his mind. Kai had tried his best to make up for it..to be there for Rei..and slowly Rei had opened up to him and spilled all of his secrets..all of the things he had been through. Kai had listened carefully to them all,being there when Rei most needed it.

In such times,dont go hiding
In such times,close your eyes

And if the grass no longer seems green
or the sky above as clear blue
lie down for a moment to see
the light of hope that shines

In such times,you can hold on
In such times,you can stand tall

In the eyes of amber lies the fire
what proves that you can make it
and do not feel lonely no more
there is never cold in the white clouds

In such times,spread your wings
In such times,take the leap

As the song ended the crowd was left speachless at the beauty of the it. They stood gaping with jaws dropped and eyes wide like a bunch of goldfish on dry land. Kai smirked slightly at the audience,and was taken aback as Rei suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck and pressed their lips together in a firm kiss. The crowd burst out cheering and hooting as Kai kissed him back, his arms wrapping themselves around the smaller body of the neko. They stood kissing for what seemed like an eternity before breaking apart.

Kai took his hand and walked off the stage, a bright smile on his face. Rei laughed softly and litherally danced as they made their way over to the ice cream bar. Mrs.Hiwatari rolled her eyes at her son as he sat down on a chair by her table, Rei dumping onto his lap.

« The two of you couldn`t just be a little more obvious, could you now?» she said and sighed, though Kai could see the little smile on her face.

« Oh..we could start making out here, in public. That would be a little more obvious, don`t you think?» he replied smugly. Rei chuckled at the bluehaired woman and pecked Kai on the cheek softly.

« I`ll just go buy something to eat....you boys wait here,kay?»

Kai snorted as he watched his mother walk away to the counter. He wrapped his arms possesivly around Rei and rested his chin on the boy`s shoulder. Rei sighed, it was barely noticeable..but it didn`t pass him by though.» You okay?» he asked, brushing his fingers over the smooth skin.

« I`ll be...dont worry....As long as you stay with me, I will be fine.I need to forget about the past» Rei whispered into his ear and hugged him tight.

Kai knew he wouldn`t leave Rei, not now that the neko finally had become his. He knew Rei`s heart always would hold a place for Tala...But he couldn`t care less..not if he could make Rei happy. That was the thought that went through his mind as he ran his fingers through his boyfriend`s soft raven hair, taking in his scent. He would stay by Rei`s side as long as the neko wished for it.And right now..he couldn`t have felt better.

Oh well...please leave me a final rewiew, no? That would be much appreciated.
