The rain did not stop overnight. The rain just got worse. Rei woke up late again and slowly walked to the kitchen. "looks like the typhoon season is in early this year huh Rei? Rei looked out the window and barely saw a metre out of his house. "looks like were indoors today Kai" Rei said as he poured his cereal. "well you can go outside for a shower thats for sure!"
Rei and Kai sit down eating breakfast and watching the weather report on t.v "heavy rains expected throuought the weeks with cold temperatures and windy squalls" the reporter says. Just as rei goes to put his dish in the dishwasher the phone goes off. "I got it" Kai says, he picks up the phone "hello?" "yeah hi" "what do you mean delayed?" "this evening....ok.....cya" he hangs up the phone. "Who was that?" Rei asks, "ermm......the bureau are forecasting a........typhoon that is 220 miles off the coast" Kai replys, "yeah right im going to fall for that one Kai" Rei says sarcastically. The weather outside begins to increase as thunder can be heard from a distance. "Well....its a possibility" Rei says "why wont you tell me who is on the phone?" "you'll find out later
The rain continues to pour down at lunchtime and the two are stuck in the house all day with Rei staring out the window, and Kai watching dvd's. "I can't stay here all day Kai I'm going out for lunch, do you want to come?" "no I'm fine thanks Rei" Rei rushes outside to his car only to get in, completely saturated. He drives into town, to a cafe by the river, sits down and reads the paper. The front page headline says *Typhoon 220 miles off the coast* "well he wasn't lying then, but I have a strange feeling he is up to something" "he has been here for a week now, and he says he was getting set up.....it almost seems he is waiting for something....or someone"
The rain has not subsided, the streets are flooding and visibility is blurred. Rei drives home and listens to the radio talking about the typhoon and its direct course for the city "damn better secure the windows". Rei arrives home, shuts the door and meets Kai at the front door "can you take me to the airport at 9:00 this evening Rei?" "why are you leaving?" "no.....I'm.........looking for my lost luggage when I arrived here.......they told me to come later today" "LOOK Kai! I dont want to be left in the dark about what you are doing!!! if you want to live in this house with me you must not piss me off Kai!" "Rei settle down!" a large lightning bolt lights up the sky and just as the thunder sets in all the power goes off. "GREAT!!" Rei shouts "help me find some candles Kai, I think there are some in the kitchen, I'll look in the cupboards".
The wind begins to howl and rain getting heavier by the hour. "When will the power come back on!" Rei says sweating over a candle" "i dont know but for the meantime we must get the windows secure, do you have any wood?" "yeah by the fireplace" Kai walks over and grabs 3 planks of wood "lets go". The two race outside in the rain, and quickly nail the 3 windows shut with the wood. It takes longer to do the job but they were inexpirenced and in a hurry. They arrive inside and quickly wash their hair down "oh man I'll need to blow dry it again, that takes half an hour!" "ah quit your crying, its just water" "its 6:30, lets have some dinner and read something, Pretty soon we'll have to head off anyway" "yeah your right Kai I'll take a look at what we can have" "soup ok?" "soup's great, thanks Kai".
Its 8:20. The power is not on, Kai is sitting down reading time magazine and Rei is watching the thunderstorm in the distance. "come on Rei lets head off" "sure where are we going? domestic or international?" "international of course, where do you think I came from?" "yeah but some luggage is sent to domestic because the international airport dosen't have much space for things like that". "You have been here for three weeks Kai, why do you now all of a sudden need to get this luggage that you supposedly lost during your flights, why couldn't you get it earlier?" "why is it soo mush of a problem Rei!" "just get me to the airport"
Rei and Kai arrive at the airport, however Kai seems reluctant to leave the car. "come on Kai lets go and get your luggage" Kai just sits there staring at the dashboard. "Rei.......I'm not here to collect luggage......I have all the luggage I took from Russia" "I know" "we are here to meet someone". "who?" Rei asks, Kai does not reply "I guess I'll find out in a few minutes huh Kai?" "ten minutes, the person knows where to find us" Kai and Rei continue to talk, with Kai still refusing to tell Rei who the person they are meeting is. "here they come" Rei gets out of the car and takes a look at the people coming out of the Arrivals foyer, "no one I recognise Kai, are you sure you have the right flight details?" "that can't be true" Kai says as he steps out of the car. Just as all of the people walk out of the lounge Rei goes back into the car "I don't believe I was lied to...." Kai thinks to himself, "WAIT REI!" Rei hops out of the car and looks at a figure waiting in the dark. Rei walks over to the person, Kai smirks "I knew she would turn up". "Sorry I did not come out, I just forgot my luggage and I was eager to meet you again Rei". Rei just looks at the girl for a moment and finally replys, ".....I'm glad to have you back.....Mariah"
