Chapter 3: Insider's Info

The next day, Kai had left me alone for most of the day. After lunch I had taken off to skive last lesson. Tala had been thinking that Kai needed some information on me and he entered the school's canteen to find Hannah sitting alone eating her lunch and playing a game on her mobile phone.

"Hello, may I join you?" he asked as he walked over to her. She looked up at him and her eyes widened slightly as she swallowed her mouthful of food.

"Yeah...s-sure." she stuttered shyly.

Tala took a seat next to her and watched her for a moment as she finished her lunch, though she felt a tad nervous with Tala watching her and was quite slow. Finally she finished and sat up. Her green eyes met his icy blue ones and she faintly blushed, but waited for Tala to speak first.

"Dawn's your best friend isn't she?" he confirmed first of all.

"Yeah she is. She's changed a lot lately though. Still my friend though, why do you ask?" Hannah replied as she looked at Tala questioningly.

"My friend, Kai, has changed a lot too. He told me, after a slight nudge, that he has a liking to Dawn. I think if those two get together, they might sort each other out." explained Tala.

Hannah stared for a second then laughed. "What?" asked Tala. "Tala, come on. The way they are now? It'd be a catastrophe in the making...wouldn't it?" she asked him.

"Hannah, all I need is some insider's info on Dawn. Maybe then Kai will have some ammunition so to speak and stand more of a chance with her." said Tala.

"Well, since she's changed I don't have a lot of stuff to tell you, but I can give you a list of her favourite musics." started Hannah and got out a notebook. She wrote a list of songs she knew I liked.

Once she was done, she tore the page off and handed it to Tala. His eyes ran over the list, sometimes smirking and sometimes frowning.

"They any good?" asked Hannah, and she looked down slightly thinking it was no help.

"There are two that I think Kai may show interest in. And that's fine for now. You know anything else that could help?" asked Tala.

"I can't think of anything else." said Hannah and looked down.

"It's okay, Hannah." said Tala with a small smile and stood up to take off.

"Wait, Tala." Hannah said. Tala looked back and waited. "Dawn will never touch Kai while he has that smell of smoke around him." she said.

Tala laughed and said "Thanks, Hannah." then he set off from the canteen and said to himself "Kai will just love that when I tell him."

Later on, Tala found Kai sitting on a roof and climbed up to join him. Kai let out a stream of smoke and lowered his hand as he turned to face his friend.

"I got some information for you which should make things easier." said Tala as he sat down comfortably next to Kai and got out the sheet of paper with the list of musics I like.

Kai eyed the sheet of paper and raised an eyebrow. "Tala, why did you give me this? I don't need help." he said.

Tala smirked and said "So you can get Dawn. It's obvious you want to get in her clothes."

Kai then smirked with a flash in his eyes and he looked back at the list then got thinking how he'd bring any of it up in a conversation. Tala began to walk away as Kai thought then remembered something as Kai let out another exhaling of smoke.

"Oh, and Kai?" Tala said as he turned back to face Kai.

Kai frowned and looked at the red head.

"I should add that you don't stand a chance while you're surrounded by that cloud of smoke." said Tala then he left chuckling to himself.

Kai raised both eyebrows in mild surprise and twisted the cigarette around his fingers a bit as he thought about it.

Later on, Kai managed to find me. I was sitting on a fence of a field all alone and doodling ideas in my notebook. As he approached, he threw his cigarette away. I heard his footsteps and looked up. When I saw who it was, I frowned.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Can't a guy walk through a field without being pestered?" he asked sarcastically. "Besides, I was hoping to run into you." he added with his trademark smirk.

As he came nearer me, I smelt the smoke that remained on him from the cigarette and I frowned in disgust and turned away from him.

"Too turned on by me to talk?" he asked with his smirk increasing slightly.

"Hn, you wish, Hiwatari. Stay away from me and stop being a smart ass." I said and hopped down from the fence and began to walk away from him.

Kai frowned slightly, but remembered the list of musics and remembered his plan.

"Not a bad idea to listen to Within Temptation." he called after me and I stopped in surprise so Kai smirked to himself.

"You know them?" I asked in surprise as I turned around and faced him.

"Sort of. Heard a few songs. Isn't there one called 'It's The Fear'?" he asked, hiding the fact he was smirking inside that he now had my attention.

"Yeah, that's my favourite of theirs." I said, and I wondered if it was coincidence or not that Kai had heard of them or if someone was playing me somehow.

"You heard of 'Wheels of Fire' by Judas Priest then?" he asked with a smile.

"Yes I have. It's another I really like. How do you know this, Kai, I'm not stupid. Have you been stalking me?" I asked, and was slightly angered if that was the case.

Kai shrugged. "Fate I suppose. You and me are meant to be together, Angel." he said and smiled at me.

I walked away with a hn and didn't turn back. Kai watched me go then called after me.

"You know you love me really...as I know you dream of me." and he smirked after me.

I giggled unnoticeably and kept on walking.

Kai smirked to himself and added to himself: "She's mine now."
