The Night Belongs to Us…

Tai's POV

I watched Kari as she entered her room. Lately she was acting strangely. Who is her boyfriend now? Maybe T.K? I don't know, didn't see them together lately. I moved my mind from Kari and went back to Sora. We were studying together. She was way smarter than me and I really was thankful to her she helped me with my studies.

"Okay, Tai, do you under stand it now?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's much clearer. But how do I calculate the integral?" I asked.

"It's simple…" she started writing and explaining and suddenly she dropped her pencil on the floor.

"Sorry" she said. We both bent to the floor to pick up the pencil and our hands touched. I looked in her eyes, and I swear she was looking in mine. Her sleeve went up and I saw a bruise on her arm.

"Sora, what is this?" I asked and tried to touch the bruise.

"It's nothing" She hid the bruise and we stood up and leaned on the table. Suddenly Sora's cell phone called and she answered it.

"Hello?" She said "Yeah, I'll be down right now"

"Tai, I have to go" Sora said.

"Okay, Sora, but can we meet tomorrow again? I really didn't understand the subject" I said.

"No, tomorrow I can't. I'll talk to you later, bye" She said and rushed from my home.

"Bye" I said, but she couldn't hear me.

Sora was acting strangely later. She started trying to avoid me, why was she doing that? All I knew that she dated a 32-year-old man. Lately she moved in with him. I never met him, but since she started dating him she has been trying to avoid me and all our old friends.

I went to the window and watched Sora as she approached a car. I saw a man getting out from the car and approaching Sora. This is probably her boyfriend. The next thing I saw made my blood freeze in my veins; the man violently grabbed Sora's arm and pushed her into the car. Now I understood why her arm was bruised. I didn't know what to do; I can try talking to Sora, but she is probably going to avoid the subject by telling me that everything is fine. However, I must save Sora no matter what.

Kari's POV

It was late evening. I told Tai that I'm sleeping at my friend's house tonight and sneaked out my home. A car was waiting for me. I was Ken. I looked at him and he looked especially handsome tonight. I wondered how Yolei could let go off a guy like Ken. She is such a fool.

"Hey, are you going to stand and stare there the whole night? You know it's not so long" Ken said.

"No way, this night you are mine" I said and got into his car and kissed him.

"You are such a good kisser" I said while kissing him and then we stopped kissing "Let's save it for later, you said yourself that the night is not so long"

"You are right" Ken said and started the car "You are just perfect both beautiful and smart"

"I know, right?" I said "So are we going to the club?"

"No way. My parents are not home tonight" Ken said "So we are going to my place"

"Really? So I guess you are not so bad either" I said.

"You bet" Ken said and we on driving to Ken's home.

Yolei's POV

I was sitting at the table in the kitchen. T.K's mother got home not so long time ago and we were having supper.

"This is delicious" I said.

"Thanks, Yolei" T.K's mother said.

"Mom, Yolei is not feeling so well, can she stay for tonight?" T.K asked.

"Of course she can" T.K's mother said "Everything is fine for me, if you are not with that horrible Kari"

I felt myself like laughing, but I thought that I better should, it might hurt T.K or his mother.

"Mom, please stop" T.K said.

"I really don't know what you saw in that girl. She is terrible" T.K's mother said. Now I couldn't help but laughing.

"Yolei, what is so funny?" T.K's mother asked.

"I just agree with you, " I said.

"You see, T.K. Yolei probably know what she is talking about" T.K's mother said and he smile in embarrassment.

"By the way, T.K, I bought cigarettes for you" T.K's mother said.

"Thanks Mom, but you really shouldn't. I have enough even for the next week" T.K said.

"Oh, please, I see how you finish packs. You can even beat your father in the amount of cigarettes you smoke per month" T.K's mother said. I laughed again.

"Yolei, don't listen to her, I really don't smoke that much" T.K said in embarrassment.

"Yes you do" T.K's mother said.

"Mom, you are embarrassing me" T.K said and I laughed.

"I'm sorry, but the way you fight is funny" I said.

"Yolei, just keep an eye on my son, he is really not so bad" T.K's mother said.

"I know and you can trust me" I said. I saw that T.K was blushing. He looked so cute. We went to the room which I was staying, sat in the bed and T.K hugged me. It felt like heaven to feel his warm hands.

"Yolei, don't pay attention to my mother. She speaks rubbish sometimes and embarrasses me" T.K said.

"You know I understand it all, my parents embarrass me, too" I said "But she was right about the smoking"

"I know" T.K said and sighed "Yolei, have you ever felt yourself lucky?"

"Actually I always thought myself to be unlucky, but now I really don't know" I said "Maybe I'm finally lucky"

"Well, I feel myself lucky that I have you" T.K said, he made me blush.

"Really? Do you think it's destiny?" I asked.

"No one knows what the destiny holds for us, but everything will be alright" T.K said. That phrase again! What does he mean?

Then T.K tried to kiss me, but I stopped him and put my fingers on his lips.

"Teek, stop it. I don't want you to get sick" I said.

"Don't call me Teek, I hate it" He said "Kari calls me like that"

"I'm sorry" I said.

"I think I've already told you that I don't mind to get sick. I really deserve it" T.K said and then he started kissing me. I stopped him again.

"No, T.K. I really don't want you to get sick because of me" I said "When you love someone you want all the best for this person and I love you, T.K"

"You also harm yourself for the person you love" T.K said.

"And what if I don't want you to harm yourself for me?" I asked.

"I'm not really asking you, Yolei" he said "I love you" then we started kissing again.

'T.K, yeah, I think now I'm lucky' I thought to myself.

Kari's POV

It was just awesome. I was lying in Ken's bed and Ken was lying next to me. It was a wonderful night and I wish every night could be like that.

"Ken, you are so awesome, it was so great" I said.

"Am I better than T.K?" He asked.

"You bet! T.K is just a baby" I said "Can you give me a cigarette?"

"I stopped smoking, but just for you I bought these" Ken said and gave me a cigarette and a lighter.

"Really? You are wonderful, there is no man like you" I said and lit up the cigarette. I smoke very rarely and usually I do it after having sex and this was the case.

"You are very mysterious woman" Ken said "I really don't understand you"

"Mysterious? Is it a compliment? Because I like it" I said and took a drag off my cigarette.

"A sort of" Ken said "Why are you staying with T.K? You told me thousands of times that you don't like him and that he is a baby and naive" I really didn't like the way it going.

"Why are you always speaking of T.K if you know what I really think about him?" I asked.

"It really bothers me that we are hiding from everyone" Ken said "And I think that if you are still with T.K so he is not just a baby for you"

"So you wanna know all the secrets of your mysterious woman?" I asked and kissed Ken

"I will be really glad to know at least one of them" Ken said

"T.K is a good guy, but he doesn't know anything about the life yet. He is funny. He thinks he is going to get. He is such a jerk" I said, took a drag of my cigarette and blew smoke.

Ken laughed "So this is how you are…" He said and kissed me.

"Yeah, do you like me?" I asked.

"I think you are awesome" Ken said.

"Better than Yolei?" I asked and Ken laughed.

"What? What is so funny?" I asked "If you ask me about T.K, why I can't ask you about Yolei" I took one last drag of my cigarette and put it out in the trash can next to the bed.

"I just can't believe you are asking something like that" Ken said "Just look at Yolei! She is nothing like you. You really needn't bother about her"

"You are right, just like you don't need to bother about T.K. I mean Yolei is probably with T.K right now" I said and this was my mistake. This caused Ken to get up and sit in his bed.

"What?" He said shocked "T.K is with Yolei?"

"Yeah, so what? This only mean we shouldn't be jealous because of them anymore" I tried to calm Ken down. I really didn't know why he became so furious.

"I'm really going to kick his ass" Ken said "I won't let that wimp hurt Yolei's feelings"

"But you said you have no feelings for Yolei" I said angrily.

"He mustn't treat her like rubbish and if he does he is going to pay for this" Ken said.

"I don't understand why you even care about her. You said that you don't love her anymore" I said.

"Kari, don't make yourself naive, I know that you are far away from that" Ken said "I just won't let Yolei get hurt"

"You still love her! You acted jealous because you think I love T.K, but you still love Yolei yourself" I shouted at him "Ken, this is just disgusting"

"Think whatever you want, Kari, but I think that the ones who act disgusting are you and T.K" Ken said. And that's how my wonderful night became a nightmare. Me and my big mouth. Why should I tell Ken about T.K and Yolei? But how could I know that he'll react that way? I was sure that he got over Yolei and doesn't care about her. That stupid and ugly Yolei! Why she suddenly became so lucky? T.K left me to pick her up, Ken got his mind off me just because I told him that she is with T.K and even Davis, Davis who once was ready to jump off a cliff because of me cares about her. What the hell is going on?

"Ken, let's go to sleep, we have school tomorrow" I said.

"You are right, Kari, tomorrow is going to be a hard day" Ken said "Good night, Kari, sorry if I hurt your feelings" He kissed me.

"Good night, Ken" I said. Such a stupid guy! At least he is good in bed.

Yolei's POV

I fell asleep on T.K's shoulder, feeling his warmth. I knew this night belongs to us no matter what is going to happen next. I was sick but I felt so better with T.K with me. T.K said he was going to stay with me the whole night. I'm so worried for him to get sick, but still want him so much to stay with me. Maybe I just want him to be sick and lay next to me until we both recover. What selfishness! I'm not really like that. It doesn't matter even if I recover tomorrow, I'll still be sick. My illness has a name – Takeru Takaishi. I love him.
