Endless Determination

Chapter 29: Friendship

      Seeing the rage in Kurans eyes as he violently pounded at Rai's door, I grabbed his arms and pulled them behind him," PLEASE KURAN, CALM DOWN!" Kuran struggled out of my grasp and continued pounding at the door." Don't give me that, he got you while I was weak, when I couldn't protect you. That low-life needs to pay for kissing you!" I stop for a second in fear for Rai, I didn't want the kiss but I couldn't let Kuran hurt Rai, he was a kind person and Roses brother." Please stop Kuran, he was teaching me how to play a game!" Kuran stopped and looked at me, the rage in his did not cease at all," he was using you the whole time, get that through your head!" He faced the door once again and pounded on it more, I felt tears escape my eyes when I heard Rai screaming and crying in fear." I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!" I jumped in front of the door Kuran was pounding on, he stopped right before his fist touched my cheek and his anger ceased a little seeing the look in my eyes." Please, he's our friend...I don't love him, we were just playing a game! He's our friend just like everyone else, Master, Rai, me, Rose. We're all your friends can't you see that! Would you kill me if I did something that accidentally hurt you, I would already be killing myself with guilt, and I'm sure Rai is too!" Kuran lowered his fist," I wouldn't hurt you...I would never hurt yo-" Kuran started crying and forced a smile before he passed out, pinning me against the door. Master quickly got him off of me and set him on the couch again, I thanked him and he left to his office," If anything else happens come and get me." And with a yawn he was off, I got a blanket for Kuran then went to go check on Rai. Rai opened the door quickly once he heard my gentle knock and pulled me in, his eyes were puffy and red." I'm sorry, Luna. I'm so, so sorry." Rai Hugged me and started crying again, I smiled feeling relieved he wasn't harmed and hugged him back." It's okay, Rai." Rai hugs me tighter." No it's not! I shouldn't of forced you like that, Kuran is right! I'm a stinking low-life and I don't deserve that smile, or this hug." He pushes me away and turns his head still crying." Hey, look at me." I state while grabbing his face and tilting it towards mine." You aren't a low-life, your my friend," I shake my head at that," no, your OUR friend...Kuran just has trouble showing how much he enjoys the company of people...you can still gain his trust back and be even greater friends, I believe in you." Rais tears slowly dried as I spoke, he nods and smiles once I'm finished." Your right, I'm gonna show him that I'm not a low-life! I'll make up for what I did." Seeing his face back to normal I smile once again and pat his head." Good, keep that in your head and get some rest." I stand up and wave to Rai as he waves back and then curls up in his bed with a smile. Once I close the door I head back to Kuran and stare at his sleeping expression with a soft smile before turning out the light and heading to bed.
