*I own nothing.*
Meilin's P.O.V.
It was nice to relax and not because the guys and Hilary made me, but I'm starting to feel bored being cooped up in the dojo. The others were still over protective of me after what had happened in Russia. I was suppose to only take it easy for two weeks, but it's been a month now. They would let me have any fun. I leaned onto one of the banisters on Tyson's back deck and too in what this nice day had to offer. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, but the peacefulness didn't last. "TYSON!" Hilary's shouting at Tyson had scared all the bird's away. I sighed, this happens almost all the time now. Tyson always does something to piss Hilary off, either it be him eating to much or slept to much. Dizzy, the bit beast in Kenny's laptop, even once said that its caused from sexual frustration. Which made me laugh and Kenny blush. As the yelling match in the dojo continued, I figured I should go in and see what Tyson did this time.
Normal P.O.V.
Hilary and Tyson were bickering in the kitchen as Meilin walked in. Hilary noticed Meilin and sighed. "What he do now, Hil?" Hilary's face red with anger. "Tyson ate all the food I prepared for a picnic for the group." Hilary hadn't had a chance to say anymore because Tyson cut her off. "It shouldn't have been in my fridge then!." He snapped, causing the shouting match to start all over again. Poor Kenny seemed to be trying to work on something on his laptop and then decided that outside would probably be best.
Meilin followed Kenny back outside, taking a seat on the back porch, Kenny taking a seat next to her as he typed at lightening speed. "Where's the others?" Meilin asked Kenny. "They're showing Kai the beach that we practice at." Kenny turned his head to look at Meilin and as if reading her mind. "And I was told that if you wanted to go, that you're to hand over your blade." Meilin sighed, she really wanted to spin Snowy again. "Guess I'm staying here then." Sounding defeated and looking at her blade in her hand.
Kenny went back to typing super fast. "Probably working on upgrades for Tyson's, Rae's and Max's blades.' She thought at the sound of his ferocious typing. She was itching to get out. 'Maybe I could sneak out?' "I'm going to go and lie down, Chief." He nodded as she got up and headed back into the loud dojo. Tyson and Hilary were still arguing as Meilin slipped out the front door. 'That was easier than I thought.' Once on the other side of the dojo walls, she pulled out her ear buds and put them in her ears. Then blasted music on her iPod and took off into a run, heading in the direction of the beach.
At The Beach...
Rae and Max were battling it out in the dish as Kai watched. "You can take the winner." Max called out over his shoulder and got a nod from Kai. The winner ended up being Rae, and now facing off across from Kai. As they were battling, a blade flew into the dish and knocked both of their blades out. Rae and Kai were shocked and looked for the mysterious owner of the spining blade in the dish. Kai was the first to notice the owner, followed by Max than Rae. "It's Meilin!" Stated Max. "Seems Kenny wasn't able to take her blade away from her." Added Rae.
Meilin smiled as she made her way to the guys. Kai smirked at her. "How'd you manage to get past the others?" Meilin shrugged. "I walked through the front door." Rae and Max seemed shocked. "I also told Kenny that I was going to lie down." She smiled at the three guys, as Kai chuckled softly and Rae and Max groaned. "What about Tyson and Hilary?" Max asked. Meilin filled them in about the argument that started earlier.
Rae then got straight to the point. "Meilin." He started, causing her to groan."You're suppose to be taking it easy." She had had enough of everyone telling her what she can and can not do. Meilin glared at Rae, which seemed to make him flinch. "I'm done taking it easy." She snapped as she collected her blade from the dish and reloaded her launcher. Rae and Max were shocked at Meilin, they've never seen her angry at them before, usually just her opponents or Tyson.
"I need to let loose." She stated as she released her blade into the dish. Kai challeneged her by sending his blade into the dish with hers. Causing Meilin to smirk at him and sent her blade to clash against Dranzer. 'Thanks, Kai.' She thought as they both give it their all, not holding back. To Rae and Max, it would look as if the two phoenixes were dancing, while Meilin and Kai enjoyed their battle. Once they both called out their attacks, fire met ice, causing the four bladers to be surrounded by fog and mist. No one could see the dish. Snowy and Dranzer could still be heard hitting each other. Kai and Meilin concentrated on the sounds of thier blade. Meilin got Snowy to take the tempature down a few notches, causing the mist to change into snow. "Snowy! Icy Needles!" "Dranzer, Flame Saber!" Their attacks hit at the same time, knocking both blades out of the dish and into the sand.
"That was awesome!" Meilin cheered. "I feel so recharged." She added as she laughed softly. Kai smiled at her as he handed Snowy to her. Max ran his hand through he blond hair as Rae sighed. "I guess we have been a bit too constricting."
Meilin was lying in the sun, in the sand, still laughing softly from her match with Kai. When her giddiness was rudely inturrupted by Tyson's loud mouth. "There's no escaping!" Meilin groaned at Tyson's words. Tyson was pointing at Meilin as Kenny and Hilary finally caught up to him. "MEILIN!" He yelled as he still pointing at her. Meilin sat up and looked over at Tyson. "What?" "How dare you sneak out!" Meilin gave Tyson an icy glare, which made Rae and Max move away from her. Tyson on the other hand seemed unaffected by the glare. Meilin was about to tell Tyson off, when Kai stood inbetween them. "Back off." Tyson seemed taken back by Kai's words. Kai then turned back to Meilin, grabbing her hand and leading her away from the others. Kai has learnt that he can only take so much of the group before it becomes unbearable. He decided that taking Meilin away from the nagging would do her some good. Kai knew that they were just looking out for her, but it's gone on far enough, the girl needs her freedom.
Meilin's P.O.V.:
I smiled at my hand in his, giving his hand a reasurring squeeze. I wonder where he was leading me, but where ever it is, I'm glad its with him. This is the first time, all summer, that we were actually alone for once. We stop at a park bench that has a view of the ocean, with the sun almost touching the water. Kai let go of my hand and took a seat on the bench. "I've never seen a sunset." I feel my heart hurt for him, there is probably a lot of things he hasn't done because of the Abbey. I take a seat next to him, resting my head on his shoulder. He still tenses at my touch, but places his arm around me anyways. "You're in for a treat, they're beautiful." We sat in silence as we watched the sun hit the water and disappear.
As we sit in silence, I wonder about Kai. 'We never talked about what happened between us. Does Kai have any feelings towards me? All we've done was kiss and sleep next to each other, he could just be curious. He's also seen me naked'. I blush at the memory of falling asleep topless on him. 'Could I be the only one to have feelings?' I sighed softly, which caused Kai to look down at me. "Are you alright?" Worry was evident in his voice. I nodded, but didn't look up at him. I stare off. "Kai?" "Hmm?" I take a deep breath. 'It's now or never.' "Do you have feelings for me?" I take this chance to look up at him and feel as if my heart was on the verge of dropping into my stomach. I look away, feeling like the words that I was dreading will be the ones he's about to say. He didn't say anything, making me feel uncomfortable.
When finally, he spoke up. "Of course I do." I look up at him once again. "It's just hard for me, we were trained that love was a weakness." I blink at him as 'Love' echos in my brain, causing me to blush. "Being near you causes my heart to beat faster and a weird fluttering sensation in my stomach." He placed a hand on my cheek, moving his face closer to mine, gazing into my eyes. Making my face grow hot. "And when our lips touch, I seem to forget the world." The he pressed his lips to mine with a rough passion. I gasp and return his kiss, causing him to pull me into his lap. I don't know how long we sat here kissing, but I guess it was late because Kai broke our kisses and took me back to Tyson's.
At the dojo...
"It's late" Hilary stated as she looked out one of the windows, looking for a sign that Meilin had returned with Kai. "Shouldn't they be back by now?" She asked, sounding worried. "I'm sure they're fine. This is their first time being alone since Russia." Kenny tried to reassure her, which seemed to anger Tyson. "They should be supervised." Hilary rolled her eyes at Tyson. "Who are you, her dad?" Tyson glared at Hilary, causing them to butt heads and start arguing agian. Everyone else groaned and left the room, leaving them to be alone.
Meilin and Kai could hear Tyson's and Hilary's loud voices from the front yard. As they reached the door, they were welcomed by Rae, Max and Kenny, who seemed to be trying to leave. "You don't want to go in there." Max told the pair. Kenny filled in Meilin and Kai on what started this argument now. Meilin had enough of Tyson's protectiveness attitude and the constant yelling. She stood up and stomped into the dojo and right up to Tyson. "SHUT UP!" This caused the yelling to stop and before Tyson could snap back, Meilin held her blade out to him. "Put your blade where your mouth is." She smirked. "I have a challenge for you." This seemed to catch his attention. "If you win, I'll do as you say for the remander of my stay here. If I win, you have to stop arguing with Hilary and kiss her already." This seemed to cause Hilary and Tyson to both blush, while the rest of the guys seemed shocked.
Tyson seemed to stunned to answer. Meilin turned her back to him, giving him a cocky remark, which she knew whould make him answer. "That is, if you aren't too scared." "You're on!" He snapped. "Tomorrow at the beach. He then headed to his room. Meilin smirked to herself as she thought. 'Piece of cake.' The rest of the night was peaceful and quiet. Hilary would still blush every now and then, probably thinking about Tyson kissing her. It was nice not hearing anyone shouting for once. As the night grew late, everyone said their goodnights and headed off to bed. Meilin was excited to be facing Tyson in another battle, and this time she could go all out.
The next day...
Tyson had woken up before the others and headed to the beach to prepare for the battle against Meilin. He thought about her challenge, which changed to the thought of him kissing Hilary. He blushed as he thought. 'Maybe losing wouldn't be so bad.' He then shook his head. 'This could just be her way to try and distract me from our match.' He looked at Dragoon in his hand. "We can't let her get in our mind like that Dragoon." Tyson then went back to training, if Meilin wanted to prove that she was well enough to let loose, he'd give her everything he had. He wasn't about to make this easy for her.
Meilin and the others were shocked to find Tyson was already awake and gone before them. They all had breakfast, Hilary made pancakes for everyone, before heading to the beach. Once they arrived at the beach, they found Tyson training very hard, which was surprising because he's been slacking since the championship ended. Kenny has been after him all summer to train, but Tyson only ended up doing his own thing. "He probably doesn't want to lose to Meilin again." Max mentioned.
"Which means this battle will be intense." Meilin said with a smirk as she looked at Kenny. "You'll probably want to record it." Kenny nodded as the group made their way down the stairs to the sandy beach. Tyson noticed them and stopped training and made his way over to them. "You ready to lose, Meilin?" Tyson said in his usual cocky voice, which made Meilin grin. " You ready to kiss Hilary?" Tyson went red and walked away to the dish. "Let's do this."
They stood on either side of the dish, thier blades loaded into their launchers and ready to go. Max decided that he was going to be the ref. and started the count down. "3...2...1...LET IT RIIIIPPPPPP!" The released their blades into the dish and wasted no time and went straight to attacking each other head on. Meilin and Tyson were both focused on their match, going at each other with a lot of force.
"If they keep this up, they'll both be out of energy in no time." Rae mentioned. "Actually Rae, Meilin is trying to make Tyson run out of energy it seems. She seems to be holding up fine with these head on attacks, according to Dizzy. Could be all of her pent up energy from us making her take things easy." Rae watched the battle.
Meilin took the lead and started to push Tyson's blade back. "Is that all you've got Tyson? It's like you want to lose, so you can finally kiss Hilary." Tyson blushed at he glared at Meilin. "Dragoon! Phantom Hurricane!" A tornado formed from Tyson's blade, causing Meilin to smirk. "Snowy, Blizzard attack! Let's freeze that storm!" The wind from Dragoon blew the freezing air from Snowy all around, causing a white out blizzard. Slowly the wind died down and revealed a frozen tornado in the middle of the dish. Tyson seemed shocked, but his blade could still be heard spinning with in the ice.
'Now we wait it out, Snowy." Tyson's Dragoon finally free'd itself from the icy tornado and was on the attack once again. Tyson was growing tired, yet Meilin looked fine. Meilin dodged most of Tyson's head on attacks, part of her started to think she might lose. She gained her focus and closed her eyes with a smirk as she jokingly sings. "Cannn youuu feeellll the loooove toooniiight..." This seemed to anger Tyson as he sent Dragoon at Snowy with more force.
"This isn't good." Kenny said as he looked at his laptop. "Meilin is egging him on, knowing that he'll let's his anger get in the way of his blading." "Tyson, stay focused! She's trying to make you angry!" Rae called out to Tyson. Tyson seemed to understand and tried to re-focus. "Aw, Rae. Why did you have to go and ruin my fun?" Mocked Meilin. "Snowy, let's finish this." Meilin focused all of her energy into her blade as Tyson tried to focus. "Icy needles!" Snowy advanced on Dragoon as she shot icicles at him, then smashed into his blade head on, catching him off gaurd and tossing him from the dish. Tyson gasped as his blade flew out of the dish. Meilin blinked, thinking that she wasn't going to knock him out and was getting ready to go on the defence if her attack failed. She started to smile slowly and jumped in the air. "I did it!" 'That was way to easy. Maybe he did want to lose after all?' Thought Meilin.
Tyson sighed as he picked up his Dragoon from the sand and walked over to Hilary. Melin stopped her cheering and the others watched Tyson closely. Hilary seemed to be blushing already. "Hil." Tyson started as he looked at his feet, shuffling them in the sand. "I, uh...I um..." He started to turn a deep colour of red as Hilary watched him and waited for what he wanted to say. "I've liked you for a while now. And I'm sorry for all of the arguing. I didn't mean to anger you." He looked at Hilary. She was bright red and staring at Tyson. Tyson scratched the back of his head as he asked. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Meilin and the guys jaws, minus Kai, seemed to all hit the ground. Hilary seemed shocked as well, before answering with a smile. "Oh, Tyson. Of course I will." She smiled as he pulled her into a tight hug and kissing her, which she returned. Everyone was happy that they finally admitted their feelings for each other, maybe now there will be less, or none, arguments.
