Chaos of the Bey
Chapter 4: Glasses?

"So?"

She jerked her head and shrugged. "So what?"

He arched an eyebrow and leaned against the wall, a feet away from her, just close enough for her to feel his presence clearly. She tilted her head, waiting for him to elaborate.

He didn't reply.

"Hey, you start a conversation but you don't even continue it. What's up with that?" she inquired, annoyed. She was already tired from moving her belongings into her new home so she didn't feel like talking.

"Hn," he muttered, "how come you're nothing like your brother?" Kai opened his eyes and looked directly at Elem. She matched his stare with one of her own.

"I'm not gangster, I know that, duh. But I could be," she punched his arm playfully, "yo." She smirked awkwardly.

He rolled his eyes slowly and gave a grunt. "Don't do that again." He closed his eyes and shook his head in a somewhat disapproving manner. Kai rubbed his temples in annoyance.

"Right," she blushed crimson and nodded to herself, taking his piece of advice. "So… why were there two men chasing Ciem?" She looked at Kai inquisitively, hoping to get an answer out of him.

"Wouldn't you like know," he replied with a monotone voice.

"Please, Hiwatari. He is my brother and now that I live with him, it's just another excuse to know what's going on… unless you want me to discover by myself." Elem clasped her hands together and gave Kai her best puppy dog eyes. Unfortunately for her, they had no effect what-so-ever.

"Then start searching. You're not going to get anything out of me," he retorted, shifting his arms.

She groaned and frowned as she focused on the flowers that bloomed in the small garden. She felt lightheaded and everything seemed a little blurry.

"Do you need glasses?" he asked, suddenly as he saw her eyes focus and try hard to see the details of the garden. He cocked an eyebrow as he watched her struggle.

"No!" she exclaimed, angry. She hated it when people told her that. I don't need glasses, damnit. Elem was fuming with rage. Kai just ignored it and pressed on.

"Yes you do," he told her, "you better make a doctor appointment." His voice was so matter of afactly, that it make Elem groan in despair.

"Why do you care?" she asked. "If I needed glasses, I would have gotten them long ago!" She snapped at him, clearly annoyed with where this conversation was going.

"Don't be stupid." Kai glared at her as if to challenge her to retort back.

"You're calling me stupid?" she exclaimed. "Look who's talking…" Elem folded her arms and turned so her back was facing Kai. This majorly pissed him off, and he started to mumble some things under his breath.

"Don't insult my academic skills. I'm not like you." Kai said, his voice colder than a frozen lake in the middle of winter.

"You're cooler, is that right?" Elem retorted in a mockingly fashion. Kai shrugged her comment off and simply shrugged.

"Hn." Elem practically screamed upon hearing Kai's infamous grunt.

Her temper cooled down quickly and she rubbed her forehead slowly. She was rather glad that he stopped the conversation because it would have gone in a much worse direction.

"Good afternoon to you," she mumbled as she got up from her spot and strolled into the inside of the house. I can sense that this isn't such a good decision after all…Elem sighed heavily and retreated back to her room to continue unpacking her belongings.

At the Eye Doctor's

She sat there, pouting continuously to her brother. Groaning and protesting about his "ruthless" decision. She forced a glance at him, and decided to once again try her luck.

"Ciieemmm," she nagged, "seriously. It's not like I'm blind."

She sat flat on the hard bench, waiting for her turn to get her eyes checked. Damn Hiwatari, I hate glasses. I won't be able to get contacts for a year.

"Misao, Lily!" The nuse called her name, and she solemnly made her way inside of the cold, extremely sterilized, doctor's office. She grimaced as she reached the dark, wooden door.

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Ciem asked.

"Seriously. You hate being treated like a kid but you're treating me like one. I can go alone," she replied quickly before entering the room. Elem took a deep breath. Slowly letting it out, she awaited her cruel fate.

There stood a man, dressed in a typical white outfit and brown sneakers. He really needs a fashion sense, she thought as she sat where he directed at, a soft cushiony stool that was set beside a weird machine.

"So…," he started, Elem groaned to herself, "stay there, put this on your left eye," he directed, handing her something that looked like a wooden spoon, "and read."

She focused her eyes tightly and sighed. "First line, E."

"Go on," he urged her, smiling a very charming grin.

"W, K, A," she paused, her eyes lingering to the next line, each getting smaller and harder to read, "G, N, Q, H, M, P, E," the next line was pretty blurry, "V, X, Y… D."

"Okay, that's good," he said as he approached her with some kind of an instrument. He looked at her eye carefully and nodded to himself. "Sit down now and look into that machine." Oh please, when will this end? I'm getting so bored!

She put her two eyes to the right place and blinked. She had a dizzy sensation run through her brain and she rubbed her forehead. The doctor noticed this and turned to get something from the drawer, murmuring to himself as he looked for something.

"Alright, that's too strong. Let's try this one," he instructed as he changed the lenses. She focused her eyes and shook her head.

"I can't read the last line," she said. He nodded in reply.

The process continued for several minutes before the doctor found exact degree of near-sightness and reflection of Elem's eyes.

"You're good to go now. Take this sheet of paper and go to any shop to get subscriptions." The doctor smiled warmly at Elem, as she left the room with a clear look of unhappiness on her face. She saw her brother sitting, and she walked over to him.

"So…?" Ciem inquired.

"Why does everyone start conversations with that now!" she exclaimed suddenly, Elem asked, clearly pissed off.

"Whatever, let's go." Ciem looked at his sister in mild concern and amusement as she stormed angrily out of the room.

"What did I say…?" he asked himself under his breath as he smirked subconsciously.

At School

"Yo, chubby's friend!" A red head walked up to Elem. She quietly groaned in protest and annoyance.

"I have a name, you know!" she exclaimed, angry.

"No, call her glasses-girl," Kai replied, shrugging. A smirk could be seen, playing onto his cold features.

"Oh great, now you're helping him?" she groaned.

"Just because you're Ciem's sister doesn't mean anything," Tala replied. "You're still glasses-girl to us." Elem glared at Tala, but he simply shrugged it off.

Elem grunted loudly and banged her head against her desk. Ouuuchh. But she didn't let out any noise. Those bastards. They'll see. They won't get away with this… She rubbed her forehead in fatigue and yawned slowly.

The door swung open and Missy came in the room. She seemed way to happy for her own good. Elem figured that her friend had had a large dose of chocolate. Great…just what I need…

"Hey Elem! … You're paler than yesterday!" the newcomer exclaimed as she walked towards her friend. Concern sketched onto the fine features of her face.

"Don't be silly, Missy. I'm always like this," Elem replied, reassuring her friend.

"Elem, you can't keep this going," Missy paused and turned around to the teacher, "can I take Lily Misao to the nursery? Look at her, she looks like she's about to vomit or something." The teacher looked over to Missy, and slowly shook her head.

"No. Someone else can take her. I need to talk with you on your project that you still didn't hand in yet. Let's see," the teacher glanced at his seating chart, "Kai Hiwatari? Take Lily Misao to the nurse!"

"What?" the Russian replied, angry. The last thing he wanted to do was waste his time taking Elem to the nurse's office.

"You volunteered to sit near the door. Not my problem, now, Miss Moski…."

Kai grumbled in rage and curled his hands into balls. "I only sat here to get out of class faster, mind you, I never volunteered to chaperon people around," he said as he saw Elem approaching him. "Why are you so sick?"

"None of your business," she muttered. "Let's get out of here." Kai noticed that elem really didn't look too good, but he didn't think too much about the matter.

"For once I agree with you, nerd." He smirked to himself, but was slightly dissapointed at Elem's reaction.

Elem decided to ignore that last comment from him but she couldn't help but to give an annoyed sigh. The bell rang loud across the hallways and the last students scurried in their appropriate classrooms. Now the hallways were calm, Kai could hear his footsteps echoing.

There was a grumble and he noticed Elem blush slightly, bringing a bit of color to her cheeks.

"Sorry. Skipped breakfast," she mumbled, embarrassed.

"Hn." Kai rolled his eyes, and sighed, completely bored.

They arrived after a minute or two of silent walking. Kai knocked on the door and turned the doorknob. There was no one else but a middle-aged woman dressed in a burgundy sweater and loose navy jeans.

"Oh, come on in, dear. Fill this out," the lady said, her hand pointing to a clipboard that lay on the side of her desk.

Elem obeyed instantly and took a seat on the sofa-bed thing that was aligned beside the desk. Kai leaned against the frame of the door unconsciously and closed his eyes.

"Dear, you look pale. Did you not get enough sleep?" The nurse had a frown on her face as she slowly studies Elem's appearance.

"No. I'm fine. I got about 7 hours of sleep last night, that's plenty," Elem replied, smiling weakly.

"Right. Then… do you have a cold?" Elem shook her head, "flue? Allergies?" she shook her head again. The nurse made a 'mhmm' sound and took the clipboard from Elem's hand as the girl put the pen down. "Right, Lily Misao. New student…," she skimmed over the file and glanced at the boy leaning against the door, "and you, gentleman, may leave if you wish to."

"No thank you." He said, obviously wanting a reason not to go to class.

The woman gave a hearty chuckle. "Then if you stay, you must help me to find what's wrong with this girl." She smiled broadly at Kai, who just glared in response.

"She didn't eat breakfast," he stated, monotone.

"Oh, that's not good. Do you often skip breakfast? Did you ever faint while doing athletic activities?" the woman inquired.

"No," Elem turned her head around at Kai and glared at him. "I just tend to not get hungry. I don't exercise much and well, food lost its appeal."

"Oh dear, what did you eat last night?" The nurse was obviously worried, and clearly wanted to help, but Elem found this quite annoying.

There was a moment and silence and Elem sighed. "Sunflower seeds," she replied, shrugging.

The woman cocked an eyebrow up and chuckled. "You're not a bird, dear! You must eat more! Well now, I know your problem. Look. You're growing up. And I'm sure that your parents already gave you this lecture before but you need to eat. Alright? And if I ever see you here, again, because of hunger, paleness, or such, I will watch your diet personally and write out a whole nutritional plan for you. Got that?"

Elem gave a half-nod.

"Here's some chocolate. It should make you feel better," the nurse handed Elem a chocolate bar from a plastic bowl on the desk and smiled. "You're ready to go. Now, remember, eat lunch. It's very important!"

Elem groaned to herself and smiled to the nurse. Without any words, she made her way out of the room, ignoring Kai and walked into the empty hallways.

"Gee, thank you for telling her." She said, glaring at Kai.

"You told me that you skipped breakfast." He stressed the word, and looked at Elem, waiting for her reaction.

"Yes I did. Fine, and dinner, and lunch. I've had a candy bar or two in the afternoon but seriously, trust me, I'm not hungry." She looked at him straight in the eyes, but once again, her stomach began to grumble a little. Elem slightly blushed, and turned her face.

"Your stomach doesn't seem to agree with you, glasses girl." Kai rolled his eyes at the young girl walking next to him.

"Give me a break, would you?" She sighed.

Elem walked faster on the way back, since she knew the way back to the classroom. Kai was left alone in the quiet hallways. His glance lingered on the corner of a wall, where a "hidden" camera stood. He smirked to himself and shook his head.

"I know that you're watching. But, do you really think that we're that gullible?" He chuckled slightly to himself.

In a closed and dark room located somewhere inside the school building, a light cackle was heard.

"No. We know that you're not stupid, Mister Kai. But are you smarter than us? "

"So, so, so?" Missy urged, not noticing the look of annoyance that was appearing on Elem's face.

"Do you guys like talk to each other to find out which word annoys me?" Elem exclaimed, irritated.

"Um… what?" Missy stepped back a step, scared off because of Elem's outburst.

"Sorry," Elem mumbled, sweat dropping, "everyone seems to start conversations with 'so' these days. It's horrible." She shook her head. Happy that she wasn't going to tear her apart, Missy returned to her original spot beside Elem.

"Oh right. So…," Elem rolled her eyes, "heh, I mean, how's your new home?" She looked at Elem, wonderingly.

"It's normal. Nothing interesting happened. I guess that I could show it to you… but you know the whole routine of keeping a promise," she paused, closing her eyes for a second or two, "I hate gangs… but my brother is in this one. I wouldn't let him get in trouble because of me." Missy grinned widely and patted Elem's shoulder.

"I wouldn't tell anyone. Trust me. And besides, there is no one to tell." She shrugged and waited for Elem to lead the way.

Elem looked around her, worried, searching for two suspicious looking men but she sighed in relief as she found no sign of them.

AG329: Um…ya…apparently Crying Sorceress forgot to do an Author's Note at the end, so I guess I will! Great job on the chappie, and please review!
