Chapter 3 : A Walk on the Beach
Roxana was the first one to wake up ( even before Kai ), she decided to go out on a little jog around the block, to let her mind wander for a bit. She got her running shoes on and started running, thinking to herself about what she is going to do if they question her about her past or even how she got the cut. Everyone was there, watching her and Kai battle, so none of them saw Kai physically attack her with his blade because he never did. She knew Kai would be suspecious about it since he saw the blood through her shirt somewhat or so she thought he did. She rounded the corner, picking up her pace, breathing in the summer Tokyo Heat. This weather was so much different than the weather in Russia and in Texas. It was always cold in Russia and in Texas, it was always warm. She rounded the other corner, only one more corner till she gets back to the dojo. She had to figure out how to tell them if they ask about her past, so she then came up with a solution, not to tell them period. She rounded the corner again and came to the dojo, where she saw Kai standing on the front porch looking out at the sunrise. She didnt make any eye contact with him as she went to pass him.
" Where were you at? You're up pretty early ", Kai said without looking at her. She stopped in her tracks and looked up at him. " I was just jogging, leave me alone, not like its any of your business anyways ", Roxana said as she walked by him. He turned around and looked at her. " whats your problem anyways ?", Kai said as he looked down at her. She turned to look at him and gave a sarcastic smirk. " I dont have a problem, you're the one who seems to have a problem with me. I was nothing but nice when I first introduced myself, then you want to get an attitude with me, so no I dont have a problem with anyone. I just give you special treatment ", She said as she walked into the dojo to wake up everyone else. Kai was left speechless yet again, not knowing what to say to that.
A little later, the group started waking up to start their training. Kai took them down to the beach for some good old fashion cardio, wanting to get back at Roxana for what she said to him this morning about special treatment. While he ordered them to do 100 situps, he went over to Roxana and watched her from above on how she does her situps, basically giving her ' special treatment '. He had his arms crossed and he was looking down at her. " What do you want Kai? ", she asked while doing situps. Kai smirked and put his foot on her stomach when she went on her back, now she had to fight his foot in order to do a situp. " What the hell are you doing Kai? ", she asked in an angry tone. She tried her best to take his foot off of her stomach, but he was holding it there, not knowing she has a bellybutton ring jamming into her lower belly. She started hissing in pain as the ring started to pierce her skin. Kai noticed this and took his foot off of her, then he kneeled down in front of her. " Dont worry Roxana, I dont have an issue with you, I am just giving you special treatment ", he said with a very evil smirk on his face. " You unimaginable bastard ", she responded while looking at him in his eyes. He chuckled a bit and then walked away from her. " Ok lets do some laps ", he commanded the rest of them. They all groaned and moaned in complaint but not Roxana, she runs everyday. After the laps, the team was exhausted. Soon after some training, they all decided to pack it in for the day. Roxana was just about to follow everyone when Rei called out her name. She smiled and went over to him.
" Hey, whats up? ", she asked him as she approached him. He looked down at her and smiled, then gave her a bottle of water. " Looks like you need this ", he said as he looked down at her some more. She took a big gulp of the water and then wiped her mouth with her towel. " You want to walk on the beach, there is something I want to talk to you about ", he said as he pointed in a direction they would be walking. " Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about? ", she responded as she started walking beside him. " Oh nothing, just how its going with the team and how you're adjusting ", he responded. She thought about it for a second and then answered. " Everything is going good, except for your cycho leader, he has some serious issues ", she walked beside him and looked out at the sunset. " Oh yeah, thats our Kai, if he was any nicer to anyone, I would be pretty suspious on what the hell he ate that day ", Rei said with a chuckle. He really likes Roxana, but he would just like to be good friends with her, considering how he still has Mariah. Besides, Rei already thinks Kai and Roxana are a match made in heaven. The way they are acting toward one another is just like how an old married couple would act. Rei looked over at her and was shocked at her beauty as she looked out at the sunset with sweat trailing down the side of her face. Her black hair with red highlights blowing in the breeze and her baby blue eyes reflecting on the sun light sun set. She saw him staring at her, and gave him a look to see if he would notice. He did and he stopped staring. " Its ok, I get that all the time", she snickered as she took another sip of water. Rei responded with a chuckle and then he decided to get down to what he really wanted to talk to her about. " so where did you come from? ", he asked, expecting a question. Her mood immediatly changed and she looked up at him, then at the ground. " well, I came from Texas originally but my family ended up moving up to Moscow Russia, so I guess you can say Im from Russia ", she answered. " Well, your acset says you're from Texas, so Im going to believe that ", Rei said. " Well, we better get back before we have to go to bed without dinner ", she said without looking at Rei. " Yeah well, I guess so, this was nice though ", he said as he stopped and turned to her. " Yeah It was ", she said as she turned to him. " If you ever need someone to talk to about anything, just come and find me ok? " Rei said with a smile. She smiled at him and accepted his offer. They started heading back to the group.
That night, she went to the bathroom to take a shower, not remembering the cut she has on her side. As the hot water ran down her side, she hissed in pain once more. She has multiple scars on her back from the punishments she recieved for rebeling against Voltaire and Boris, and some from previous battles. Her long hair covered most of them, but not all of them. After her shower, she dried off and she forgot her clothes outside by her bed. So she decided to make the boys look away while she went out to get her clothes. She opened the door slightly and yelled " If you want to see a girl in a towel, look if you want, but if you dont want to, then look away, I suggest you go with the second choice ", she got what she wanted, all of them turned their heads away while she grabbed some clothes. As she headed back, Kai turned his head to see if she was in the bathroom yet, but then, he saw a glimpse of a bad scar on her back when her hair flowed back from the wind as she ran into the bathroom. Seeing that made him more curious on where she came from and how she got that scar. She got dressed in some soccer shorts and a t-shirt for bed.
They all fell asleep around 10pm, except for Kai, he had to find out more about where she came from. He looked over at Roxana and noticed she was laying on her side ( not the bad side ), using her arm as a pillow and the blanket was covering only half her body. He thought of something he has never done before in his life. He was planning on lifting up her shirt somewhat to see the scar(s) on her back, to find out what kind of scars they were so he could identify what caused them. He slowly and soundlessly approached and started lifting up her shirt, then she suddenly rolled over on her back and continued to sleep soundly. Kai growled to himself and walked back to his bed, planning on another time to find out more about Roxana.
