Apart of the Pain
Chapter 1: Airport Package
The night air swept through Kailana's room gently, its breath tapped Kai's back as he lay in bed with his arms protectively around Lana's sleeping body. The rosemary smell of Kailana's hair sneaked up into Kai's nose. Oh, how we loved that smell of his dearest. He watched as her chest slowly moved up and down with each of her graceful breaths.
Kai smiled as he settled his head into the crook of her neck.
They had been sleeping in the same room and bed without doing anything for the past five months. At first Tyson and their parents weren't too excited about it but once they understood that they were doing nothing in that bed they agreed.
Kai pinched the bridge of his nose as a stinging pain struck behind his eyes. He took a deep breath taking in more of Kailana's scent and slowly went to sleep ignoring the pain.
In the morning Kailana woke up with a smile of feeling Kai's warmth against her. Slowly so she wouldn't wake him up she slipped out of his arms.
Once out of bed she went to her closet to find something comfortable to wear. Today they were to go to the airport to pick up Hitoshi; he was coming home from college for Summer break. It had been so long since she had seen her big brother, her stomach leaped with excitement just thinking about him.
Kailana laid a pair of black pants and purple t-shirt on her bed; she got out of her PJs and took her time to get dress. As she did she snuck occasional kisses to Kai. She smiled knowing he wouldn't know that she had given him those light kisses.
Kai smiled in his sleep. He lay on his stomach snoring lightly. His left hand moved out searching for her warmth or any part of her.
"Lana..." He whispered.
His eyes tightened as he started to wake.
His eyes opened up to see Lana smiling next to him. Kai's hand led itself to her hand, their fingers interlocked each other.
"Good morning, Kai." she whispered lightly.
"Yes, a very good morning to see you next to me." he told her, Lana's jade eyes smiled along with her lips. It was this smile that made him know that they loved each other without words or actions.
Kailana leaned down and their lips touched each other softly. When they let go of each other, Lana's smile was wider and Kai's own smile crept onto his face. She stood up to finish up getting ready.
Kai watched her until she was done and then stood.
"What should I wear? I want to make a good impression on your brother," Kai asked.
Lana giggled and went up behind Kai putting her arms around Kai, "I'm pretty sure my brother remembers you from the tournament a few years ago." she told him. Lana gave Kai a nibble on the ear. "Whatever you wear is fine, as long as your comfortable." she whispered into his ear.
Kai smiled holding her hands around his waist. After a few moments he let go and went to the closet.
He pulled out a black turtleneck and a pair of baggy black jeans. After he had changed from his shorts and tank shirt he slept in he turned to her.
"Well?" He questioned with a smile.
"It looks great," Kailana responded kindly, she gave him a kiss on the cheek then headed out the door.
Downstairs Jasmine was making breakfast, while Kouji struggled with the challenge of feeding Marlene.
Kai smiled and he sat down by the baby. She smiled at him her face covered in her food.
"Let me try," He said to Kouji.
"Good luck she just doesn't want to...." He stopped as Marlene ate whatever was on the spoon from Kai that he had been trying to feed her for the last 20 minutes. "How the...."
Kai just smiled and talked to Marlene as if she were a grown up. Her big blue eyes watched him intently.
Kailana giggled, "he has that kind of touch, dad." she told her father while sipping her orange juice.
Tyson came into the kitchen not long after. His hair was a mess and he looked like he slept in his clothes. "Late night with Hilary?" Lana asked.
He glared at his sister, "don't start." Tyson went into the fridge and grabbed the carton of milk; he drank right out of it. "TY!" Jasmine exclaimed, "I needed that."
Kai rolled his eyes and picked Marlene up.
"I'm going to clean her up and then I have to get to the hospital," He said.
For the last couple of years he had given up beyblading figuring it was time he needed to do something with his life. So he had decided that he would become a doctor for kids in memory of Rosa.
Kailana sat at one of the chairs, as her father looked over his newspaper "don't forget we're going to the airport at 2." Kouji told Kai.
Lana looked at her father, "Can you get anymore rude?" she thought.
"I have to pick up Hilary." Tyson said not telling for anyone particular
Kai sat Marlene in her crib to play and grabbed his motorcycle keys and jacket.
"I'll meet you there," He answered.
Leaning down her kissed Kailana.
"See you then."
Kailana smiled and nodded, "Alright, be careful." she whispered to him.
When they heard the door shut Kouji closed his paper, folded it, and then put it down. Tyson left the room as Kailana sighed they knew both of them knowing what was coming.
"I still don't believe it's wise for you two to sleep in the same bed." he told her.
"Dad, we're not doing or done anything, and we're 19." she told him leaning against the back of the chair.
"I know that, but I at least ask that he goes back into the guest room while Hitoshi is here. He doesn't know that you two are going out even."
"We're going to tell him, I know he'll understand. I know Hito, I bet he didn't change that much." she explained.
"I still want you two, to have different rooms." Kouji told her impatiently.
Kailana stood up quickly, "if you can't get it through your head that we're going out, and may even get married one day do it soon!" she exclaimed.
"You are too young to be thinking about marriage!" he told her also raising his voice. Jasmine stood at the counter with her eyes closed, she hated when Kouji and his children would get into fights.
"I am old enough dad!" she yelled then stormed out of the kitchen.
At the hospital
Kai changed into his outfit and then went to the nurse's station and got his assignments.
Pinching the bridge of his nose as the stinging pain came back he sighed.
"Hey... you alright Kai? Are you getting enough sleep?" Chika asked worried. He gave her a smile.
"I'm pretty sure I am. I think it's my sinuses. I'll be fine," He replied.
"Ok. But take care of yourself, a lot of people would miss you around here if something happened," She told him.
"Thanks," He answered and walked away.
He sat and took notes while talking with each of the patients before reporting back to his superior. He only took care of children and the elderly. They didn't get on his nerves as much as everyone else around his age did.
Outside of the airport in the parking lot were Kai's and Kailana's bikes side by side, then Kouji's impala, and finally Tyson's jeep wrangler. Inside everyone sat at Gate 120 that was coming from England.
Kai and Lana sat down and watched as Tyson boredly tried to toss gum drops into Max's mouth. Ray stood nearby shaking his head at the two. Meanwhile Hilary was playing with Marlene as she sat on Jasmine's lap, and of course Kenny was busily typing on Dizzy while Kouji over watched the screen.
Everyone had changed over the past year, Kenny looked much older and grown to be almost as tall as Tyson. Max also looked older and he cut his hair shorter so he could put up small spikes. Ray, meanwhile, still had his long pony tail but now looked more like a college student. Kailana had grown her hair out to he shoulders and let her black hair dye grow out; she also looked a lot like her mother which always brought memories back to the Grangers. Then Kai looked pretty much the same except his wardrobe and the fact he looked a little more like his father without realizing it. Tyson had also cut his hair short, with Hilary's persuading and he wore clothes making him look like a skate boarder. Finally, Hilary, her hair had grown past her shoulders and she wore long skirts.
"Flight 862 arriving from England at Gate 120 has now arrived," A voice over an intercom said.
"That's his flight," Kai said.
Tyson rushed over to the window and smashed his face into the glass, like a child waiting for his superhero to come. Kouji walked over next to him and also watched, followed by everyone else.
When Kai stood up to join them Kailana grabbed his hand, he looked down at her and saw that she was extremely nervous.
"I am, but I haven't seen him since before I was kidnapped." Lana looked down, "he'll probably won't even recognize me." she added in a whisper.
"If a families bond is as true as they say there is no way he could not. Besides you look just like your mom... well from the pictures I have seen of her," He replied.
Lana looked up and smiled, she stood up and gave Kai a kiss on the lips. When she released she led him to the window to watch as the plane pulled up to the gate.
Kai stood behind her watching as well as the people got off.
"Hitoshi!" Tyson yelled running to a tall boy who came out of the door.
Everyone ran forward to greet him except Kailana and Kai. They stood together watching, giving everyone their space to talk. Kai slid his arm around her waist and gave a gentle squeeze.
Kailana smiled up at Kai, who had grown so that she was now 3 inches shorter. She rested her hand on his chest, as her other hand fiddled with the locket around her neck.
Hitoshi was surprised by the large group of familiar and unfamiliar faces came to greet him. When he saw his father, he set his duffle down and gave him a respectful handshake.
"Hitoshi," Kouji began as he brought Jasmine and little Marlene forward, "this is Jasmine, your step mother, and this little one is Marlene your baby sister." he said smiling.
Hitoshi smiled, "It's nice to meet you." he said to Jasmine, "you too little missy." he said sticking out his pointer finger. Marlene took it in her little hands and sucked on it with a gleeful face.
Kai pushed Kailana forward.
"Go on. He will remember you," He whispered.
Kailana came back to Kai, "Stay with me, please?" she begged.
Hitoshi messing Tyson's hair up, "man, I can't believe you had Hilary convince you to do this."
Tyson was laughing, "Yea, she has that control over me."
Hilary stepped on Tyson's foot with her heel of her shoes. Tyson cried out and got lose of Hitoshi and started to hop around. Everyone started to laugh.
Hitoshi then turned to his father again, who stopped laughing, "What's this that I hear that Kailana has been found, is she here?"
"Of course, she looks so much like your mother now. She's right over there." Kouji said and pointed towards Kai and Lana. Kai had his arm protectively around her waist.
"He's your brother not mine and he's looking at you. Go say hello at least," He told her and pushed her forward again.
This time he pushed her so hard she went stumbling into Hitoshi's arms.
Kailana gasped then stood up straight, she nervously tucked her hair behind her ears. "H...Hi Hitoshi." she said almost in a whisper.
Hitoshi stared at her in awe.
"Wow... you do look like mother..." He whispered.
Kailana looked down and blushed, "That's what everyone says." she told him.
Hitoshi looked up at the guy that had been standing with Kailana. He seemed familiar but he couldn't place a name. But he knew one thing he didn't like the way his hand had been about her waist.
"And who is this?" He questioned
Kailana smiled and bit her bottom lip, "its Kai silly," she told him as she went back to Kai and took his hand.
Kai held out his hand to Hitoshi.
"Kai Hitwari. We met a couple of years ago at the beyblading tournament. Nice to meet you again," Kai said.
Hitoshi ignored his hand and nodded. Kai let his hand go to his pocket.
"And you were worried he wouldn't care about you," Kai said to Kailana under his breath as Hitoshi turned away. "He already hates me."
"Relax, he'll warm up to you in no time." she whispered back.
Kai chuckled.
"I'm not worried. I'm used to getting the cold shoulder from my grandfather. Well I need to get back. I have a class until 7 tonight. I'll see you when I get home," He told her giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Kailana returned his kiss with a quick peck on the lips. She let his hand slowly move away from hers as he walked away. "So... you like him?" Hitoshi asked coming up behind her watching as Kai disappeared in the crowd.
"We've been going out for the last 3 years." she told him. "He even came with me on my music tour with my band last year." she added with a smile.
Hitoshi 'hned' like the old Kai would have making her giggle.
"He still beyblades?" He questioned.
"No, he's in college now. He's working on getting a masters medical degree." she explained
"What kind?" Hitoshi asked.
"A degree to become a Pediatrician. He really loves to work with little kids, and is one of the only people that can get Marlene to eat without spitting at anyone." she told Hitoshi with a laugh
"And who are the others?" Hitoshi wondered.
He sure was asking a lot of questions
"Ty, Jasmine, and myself. Hitoshi, excuse me for saying this, but you are asking an awful lot of questions." Kailana looked at him carefully, "is there something you want to tell me?"
He looked at her for a moment and then looked away.
"No. Nothing at all. I am just curious about the family I have not known for so long," He replied.
"There seems to more than that." Kailana said then walked over to Jasmine and took Marlene in her arms. She tickled her little sister and she giggled with a gurgle.
"Nothing more and nothing less," Hitoshi answered.
"Well enough talk for now. Let's get you home and settled in," Kouji told him putting an arm around his shoulders with a squeeze.
The group walked out of the airport to the parking lot. In Kouji's car Jasmine sat in back with Marlene and Max while Kenny sat up front. In Tyson's jeep, Hilary and Ray sat in back, while Tyson was in the driver's seat and Hitoshi in the passenger.
Hitoshi watched as Kailana put on her helmet and got on her bike.
"What is this Kai like?" He asked Tyson.
"Oh Kai.... he's a real bastard..." He started.
"Tyson!" Ray hissed and slapped him in the back of the head. "He is not that bad and you know it!"
"Well if I got a chance to finish!" Tyson replied rubbing his head. "Kai is a real bastard and he makes you work for his respect but he really loves Lana. And she him. He's really good to her and to the rest of us. He's gotten us out of many scrapes and the same goes for us. Why do you ask?" Tyson answered.
"Kai doesn't strike me as someone I see Kailana with." Hitoshi explained, "that's all. How did he and Lana meet exactly?" he asked as he watched Kailana on her bike in front of their car as they drove on the highway.
She went around a few cars so she was two lanes to the left and a few cars ahead.
"Well we were turning a corner in town heading home and I ran into her. She fainted and Kai picked her up running back home with her. I guess that was the first they met... but sometimes I think it was earlier than that," Tyson replied.
"We really never ask about what happened before. It seems too painful."
"Interesting........." Hitoshi said pondering.
"Personally I think that they met while Kai was in the abbey. But, who knows what the truth is?" Ray stated.
"The abbey? What's that?" Hitoshi questioned turning around to look at him.
"It was this weird school, or ward thing were scientists and other adults would make kids beyblade, until they were perfect. Otherwise, they would be punished." Ray explained the best he could, "Kai doesn't like to talk about it."
"Interesting..." Hitoshi whispered turning back around. "And does Kai have any family?"
"Well Voltaire, who is his Grandfather is in jail. Then that's it really, like Ray said Kai prefers not to talk about it." Hilary said.
"Jail? What did he do to get in jail?" Hitoshi questioned.
"Well... there was the whole beyblading scandal and the child abuse but we don't know if that's true," Tyson said.
"It was, even you know that!" Hilary exclaimed, "We saw it ourselves, or don't you remember what happened 4 years ago?"
"4 years ago?" Hitoshi asked.
"It was when Kailana first escaped from her kidnappers," Hilary explained Hitoshi the story of what had happed in Jasper Island the best she could."It was when Kailana first escaped from her kidnappers. Voltaire told the scientists where they could find us. After they took us captive they injected some drug into Kai. It put him through a lot of pain. It could have killed him... but when he thought Kailana was dead he ignored his wounds and held her. He wouldn't let the police take her. I don't know what he did but it was a miracle when she woke up," Hilary explained.
Hitoshi looked out the window as he kept imagining the events that had happened to everyone. He couldn't help but grit his teeth at the images of Kai with his arm around Kailana. "How could she want to be with that dysfunctional boy?!" Hitoshi thought angrily.
Ray watched Hitoshi's expression.
"Why do I not like his expression... his thoughts..." He wondered.
Tyson looked from the corner of his eye and saw his brother's expression, also. "What's on your mind, bro?" he asked, "you look extremely disturbed."
"Hn. Just wondering what she sees in him. I sure don't," Hitoshi replied closing his eyes and crossing his arms.
Tyson looked up in his rearview mirror, Hilary had an unsure face on. While Ray just stared out the window.
When Tyson and Kouji pulled up into the driveway, Lana's bike was parked already. Also the front door was open behind the screen door. Tyson helped Hitoshi with his bags as Jasmine and Hilary went to put Marlene to bed.
Suddenly Lana came rushing out of the house, putting on her helmet. "Where are you going in such a rush?" Kouji asked.
"I got a call from Mika, she told me Mike is at the studio and wants to hear our new song. But, I have to be quick. He's not going to be there long." Lana explained
"Mike?" Ty asked tilting his head slightly.
"He's works at Sunrise Records, this is big. I have to go." Kailana said starting her bike and drove off for the city.
"Studio? Song? She's a singer?" Hitoshi thought as he watched her disappear.
Later that night
Kai got home just as Lana did. He gave her a curious look as he got his book bag off his bike.
"Where have you been? From your smile I am guessing it's good," He said giving her a kiss.
Kailana smile became larger, "oh, yes, Michael Benings from Sunrise Records was there. We sang him our newest songs, and gave him a preview of a song I'm writing still, and he told us that we were on our way to a platinum record." she told Kai excitedly.
She giggled as Kai brought her up against the garage door and began to kiss her neck.
"That's great news Lana... my ice angel..." He whispered licking over the spot he had just created.
Kailana bit her bottom lip with as she felt his warm breath up against her neck, she let her hand go through his hair. Kai's and her lips met lightly as he brought his head up. The couple cherished moments like these, when they were actually alone.
Although they didn't know that Hitoshi had seen them. Kai and Lana heard the front door open. Kailana broke away from Kai and bit her lip again to stop from giggling. Kai looked down disappointed that their session had been caught short.
"Kailana? Are you home?" came Hito's voice, it had a coldness to it.
Kai shifted his backpack on his shoulder and held her hand as they walked around from the garage.
"Yes we're home," He answered walking past him onto the porch.
Hitoshi watched Kai with a glare, when Lana caught this she hit his shoulder. "What's with you?" she asked, then walked away before he could answer.
Kai led her upstairs.
"I still have the feeling he doesn't like me much," He said with a smile.
He changed into his PJs and then lifted his backpack to his shoulder again.
"I have at least three hours of homework. I'll be in the study if you need me," He told her.
"Alright," Kailana gave him a kiss then headed for the kitchen for a cup of tea.
Kai sat at the desk in the study with his laptop open. His books were opened and his fingers moving quickly over the keys as his eyes stayed on the books.
In the kitchen Kailana sat at the table and looked at a teen magazine as she waited for the tea pot to whistle.
Hitoshi came in and sat across from her.
"I take it you both are night owls," He said
"Gee, how did that take for you to figure out." she said still looking at the magazine, she was reading an article on latest news on bands.
Hitoshi glared at her.
"You sure have a smart mouth."
"You sure have demonic eyes." she told him smartly. She flipped a page that had Fallen Angels on one side, with her and Mika up front, then Sydney and Kisa were behind them. All four girls had a bad girl kind of expression on.
He smiled.
"I don't think we're getting off to such a great start. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Hitoshi," He said holding his hand out.
"Don't Hitoshi," Kailana said in a warning tone. "Why don't you like Kai?" she asked in a demand.
He stared at her for a moment.
"I just don't think someone like him is suited for you. His Grandfather is in jail for Christ's sake!" He replied.
"So, that doesn't mean anything! It's not like he ever committed a crime, or something!" Kailana exclaimed, at the same time the tea pot's whistle went off.
Lana stood up and went to the stove.
"What about this thing at.... Jasper Island? He could have killed you not letting the police take you!" Hitoshi hissed standing.
Kailana turned around after turning off the stove. The whistle died down, "He was protecting me, Hitoshi! He didn't want to leave my side. How could you say that he could've killed me, when he saved me from Jaq!"
"Because I see reason!" He yelled.
Marlene started to cry.
Kai left the study going to her room so Jasmine and Kouji could sleep.
"Would you two please keep it down?" He asked going back into the study with Marlene.
"What reason is that!" Kailana demanded through her teeth.
Hitoshi was at a loss for words. He had never had someone stand up to him like his own sister was.
"Let's just say I have feelings about people..... and the feeling I get with Kai is not one I trust," He replied.
"Then go ahead, don't trust Kai. But, I love him, Hitoshi, and no one. Not even you can change my feelings for him. I will be at Kai's side for as long as possible. I can make sure of that!" Kailana told him.
Lana turned her back to Hitoshi as she poured hot water into a mug, and added a tea packet.
Hitoshi sighed and turned away going upstairs to bed.
"Iiiiiiii...." She heard Marlene coo her name for Kai.
Kailana smiled as she walked into the room Kai was in, she watched as he played peek-a-boo with her little sister.
Kai covered his eyes and waited until Marlene reached forward and tried to pry his hands off before taking them away and blowing gently on her face to make her squeal with delight
"Interesting studying, Kai." Lana told him with a giggle.
He looked over at her and smiled.
"On hand research," He answered.
"I see," Lana walked over, setting her mug on Kai's desk as she did. She picked Marlene and tossed her in the air slightly. She giggled with a wide smile.
Kai watched her with a smile.
He started typing again, every now and then looking up at them.
Kailana sat down in a sofa chair that was in the room, she gave Marlene her binki. She watched as Marlene's eyes slowly drooped closed. She began to softly hum a lullaby.
Kai yawned and his shoulders slumped a little.
"You should put her to bed and go yourself, with the new contact you will be plenty busy," He told her.
"Yea, your right. I have to go to the studio in the morning. We're starting a new CD." Lana explained getting up, with Marlene cradled in her arms.
"I might be gone before you get up in the morning. If I'm not then you will see me," He said giving her a smirk.
Kailana shook her head and gave Kai a peck on the lips. "Oyasumi, Kai-chan."
Lana walked out of the room to set Marlene down to sleep.
In her own room she changed in her pajamas, then laid down in the bed. Although, she didn't fall asleep.
Kai was still awake at 3 in the morning working on his homework.
He yawned and leaned back in his chair bringing his laptop into his lap as he rested his feet on the desk.
Before long he saved unconsciously and his eyes closed in sleep.
Lana silently walked in the halls to the room Kai was. She shook her head seeing him asleep in the chair.
Carefully she put his laptop on the desk and shook his shoulder to wake him up.
Kai's brows furrowed and his eyes tightened. He gave a little sound of pain.
Dream
He opened his eyes and the first thing that hit him was pain. His head was killing him. Dully he could hear Hitoshi's voice talking on the phone but he couldn't tell to who.
"Lana?" He whispered. No one answered. "Lana!"
"Lana!" He cried sitting up quickly.
"Kai! It's ok you just had a bad dream." Came Lana's voice, along with her gentle arms that wrapped around Kai.
He relaxed at once seeing her with him, but he couldn't ignore a sudden headache that beat against his head.
Kai brought a couple of fingers to his temple's and rubbed in a clockwise motion.
"I thought I told you to go to bed?" He question quietly.
"For some reason.... feels like it was much more than a dream...." He thought.
"I did, but I woke up when I didn't sense that you were next to me." she told him slowly, "What did you dream?" she asked.
The pain in his head got worse and he closed his eyes trying to force it away.
"I... don't.... I'm not sure... it was there... but now it's gone... ahhh...." He hissed.
"Kai!" Kailana said urgently, "Kai, are you alright. Should I take you to the hospital?" she asked quickly as she tightly held on her Kai's arm.
Kai pushed his pain to the side when he heard hospital.
He may have been going to school to be a doctor but he hated being in there himself.
He gave her a smile, as best he could anyway.
"No. I'll take some aspirin and go to bed. I'll be fine in the morning," He replied.
Kailana looked at Kai unsure, "I hope, if your not I'm at least going to take you to the doctor's." she told him
Kai gave her a smile and stood.
"You won't need to. Don't worry about me, you have enough on your shoulders," He answered going to the kitchen.
Kailana looked down and hugged herself, "I have a feeling that I should worry about this, Kai." She whispered.
Kailana went back to bed, soon she felt the warmth of Kai next her, she came closer to him. Kai, put an arm around her to hold her tight.
His headache slightly lightened up from the aspirin, but it still was beating against his head painfully.
Slowly he closed his eyes and slipped off into anther period of sleep, along with Lana.
AncientPrincess7: I guess we wanted to start the story with a long first chapter.
