"Sarah Lees?"
"Yep." Sarah's eyes widen, "Kai… Hiwatari."
Kai nodded.
Sarah stood there for a moment shocked then she suddenly hugged Kai tightly but not too tightly. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" he asked a tad confused.
"For leaving you in that damned hell! I was so angry at my mother for taking me! Would you believe that I begged her to give me back to Boris, just to be with you again?"
Kai now looked shocked, "Y-you wanted to go back?"
Sarah looked back at Kai, "To be with you, yes." She smiled and traced Kai's fin-marks with a fingertip, just like she used to in the Abbey. "Does this feel familiar?" she asked.
Kai nodded then reached up to hold her hand.
"What is it, Phoenix?" Sarah asked.
Kai gave a small chuckle, "There's something I haven't been called in a while."
Sarah laughed, "Brings back memories, huh?"
Kai nodded again.
Sarah bit her lip, "Like always, I wish you would say something. Your silence always made me nervous."
Kai raised an eyebrow.
"What? It did!"
Kai gave a small smile.
"Yay, I made you smile, a rare thing."
Kai gave a small chuckle.
"We'd better look your friend." He suddenly said.
Sarah looked a tad confused, "Huh?"
"She ran out the house angry as hell not long after you did, saying she wanted to 'go for a walk'." Kai explained.
Sarah sighed. "Oh dear. I keep on telling her that I can look after myself, but she doesn't listen, obviously."
"Obviously."
"And that is suppose to mean?"
Kai gave a small smirk and walked off.
Sarah walked after Kai.
"Oi! I asked you a question you know, or are you voluntarily deaf?"
Kai kept on walking.
"Hey, Kai. Wait up! Please?"
Kai slowed down a little, "Then hurry up."
Sarah stepped next to Kai and poked her tongue out at him, "I did."

Sam walked round still fuming at the day's news and mumbling unhearable things. When she heard "Sam, what is it?" she turned round surprised and saw Tyson behind her.
"Sam?"
"How the hell did you know where I was?" Sam asked half surprised half annoyed.
"I followed you because I was worried." He said.
"It's not me you should be worried about." Sam muttered as she looked away.
Tyson firmly took hold of Sam's shoulders and turns her to face him.
"Don't let me hear that ever again, Sam."
Sam had a look on her face that said 'do you think I really care?' but it was also mixed with surprise and confusion.
"I care about you and love you a lot. So of course I would be worried about you." Tyson said.
"Hn." Was all Sam said as she looked down at the ground then away from him.
Tyson tilted Sam's chin up so he could look in her eyes.
"Look at me, so you know that I mean it."
Sam gradually looked at Tyson and saw that he meant what he said but then turns away again unable to look at him any longer. Her eyes then widen in shock and she whispers, "What the hell does he want?" Oh no, not again, not now.
Tyson looked confused at what Sam had just whispered, "What?"
Sam looked back at Tyson, her eyes showing extreme worry. She gave him a nervous smile. "N-nothing, come on let's get out of h-here."
"No. What is it? Who's bothering you?" Tyson asked.
Sam shook her head.
"Who is it, Sam?" Tyson pressed.
"Let's just get out of here." Sam said in an ordering like tone.
Tyson looked confused then said, "Alright."
Sam gave a worried smile. "Thanks." She said quietly. She looked back as they walked off and saw a smug smirk on their face. You're not gonna win this time, so don't even try.
Tyson looked back at the person Sam was looking at.
"And what do you want?"
The person smirked and walked over to them, "Sam."
"Hey, back off buddy!" Tyson warned.
Sam froze at the sound of the voice then growled and turned round.
"What the hell do you want!"
Tyson stood protectively in front of Sam, "I said, what do you want!"
The person ignored Tyson and said to Sam, "It's been a while."
"Not long enough I'd say." Sam said back.
The person chuckled, "Awww you missed me. How sweet." He said sarcastically.
"Sam, who is this creep?" Tyson asked as he cracked his knuckles.
Sam stepped out from behind Tyson.
"Why do you keep doing this to me?" her voice quivered slightly.
"It's fun." The person replied.
Sam growled, "I should've listened to my mother and brother and stayed away from you!"
"That's it! I've heard enough!" Tyson said as he punched the guy in the face. "Leave Sam alone!"
Sam gasped, "Tyson! No!"
"Sam, this guy treats you like you're his toy, and I won't take that."
The person growled. "You'll regret that." He turned to run off but before he did he said, "I'll be back, Sam. Just you wait!"
Sam sighed and began to walk away.
"COME BACK AND BOTHER SAM AGAIN AND I WILL BURY YOU SO FAR INTO THE GROUND THAT THE HEAT FROM THE EARTH'S CORE WILL INCINERATE YOUR SORRY ASS!" Tyson shouted at him. He then turned to Sam, "Sam, who is that freak?"
"He's no one, Tyson." she answered "No one." She added quietly.
"If he harms you again, then I will not be responsible for my actions." Tyson said seriously as he headed towards the house.
Sam looked at Tyson, "Please Tyson…" she pleaded "Don't… I'm not worth it." She said as she shook her head.
Tyson stopped and looked back at Sam.
"Sam, I love you far too much for a creep to hurt you. You're worth the world to me."
"He won't hurt me. He just wants to see me miserable the rest of my sorry life." Sam's voice began to quiver and a tear fell down her face.
Tyson brushed her tear away, "I won't let that happen to you."
She sighed, "I really wish I'd paid attention to what my family was telling me.
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter anymore." Sam said sadly. She sighed again and continued on walking. Why won't he leave me alone? It's not fair. "It's just not fair." She whispered.
"What's not fair?" Tyson asked.
Sam looked over at him, "Hm?"
"What's not fair?" he repeated.
"I didn't say anything." Sam said not realising she'd spoken her thoughts out loud.
"Yes you did, and you'll tell me what's bothering you when you're ready."
Sam gave a worried smile maybe. That's if you'll still be with me after what he's done.

Sarah walked up to the front door but suddenly turned round and bumped into Kai.
"Watch it."
Sarah smiled and reached up with a hand to trace the fin marks again.
"You know, despite your cold ways, you still made me smile." She said then ran her thumb down Kai's lips and gave him a quick kiss. "That's why I really like you." She turned to open the door.
Kai blinked a couple of times before a small smile appeared, he then walked in after her.
Sarah turned to see Kai smile. "Somehow, I always made you smile. I don't know how I did it, but I did."
Kai gave a tiny chuckle.
Sarah smiled and tilted her head to the side, "What's so funny?"
Kai walked up to her.
"You're right. You always did know how to make me smile even through the darkest days." He said a little seductively.
Sarah raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?" her voice also being a little seductive.
Kai nods and slowly puts his arms around her pulling her closer.
"That's what I've always liked about you."
Sarah placed her hands on Kai's muscular chest. "Never knew that."
"Now you do." Kai said as he leaned down to kiss her.
Sarah smiled and kissed him back. "Mm-hm."
Sarah slowly trailed her hands down Kai's chest and then under his shirt, running her hands over his skin.
Just then the front door opens and Sam and Tyson walk in.
"Oh!" as Sam sees Kai and Sarah kissing "Oops! I… uh… I'll just be upstairs if anyone needs me… us, k?" as she pushes Tyson towards the stairs.
Kai ignored the so-called 'interruption' and started to run his hands under the back of Sarah's shirt. To which Sarah moaned "Kai…" she then took her hands out from under his shirt and started to unbutton it slowly. Kai gave a small smirkish smile to which Sarah smirk back as she slowly pulled his shirt down his shoulders and let it drop to the floor. Then started to place butterfly kisses on Kai's neck making him gasp. She smirks again and her lips trailed to his shoulders.

Sam walked into her room mumbling as she went. "Will you still be with me after what he does or will you leave me just like the others?"
Tyson followed Sam into her room and shut the door behind him.
"Meaning?"
Sam turned round, "Huh?" she forgot that Tyson was following her.
"Sam, please tell me what's going on. To have a relationship, there can't be any dark secrets. And that guy looked pretty whacked, so please tell me what's going on." Tyson said.
Sam sighed and looked down at the ground before making her way over to the window. "He just wants to see me unhappy that's all."
"Who is this guy, your ex-boyfriend or something?"
"Hm. Worse than that." She shook her head as she looked out the window. "I shouldn't let him bring me down so easily. So what shall we do while Kai and Sarah are um… busy." She asked changing the subject.
Tyson went up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist resting his chin on her shoulder. "It's up to you. What do you wanna play?"
Sam gave a small chuckle, "Hmmm, now there's a good question." She said a tad teasingly.
Tyson kissed Sam's neck, "Well I can think of one game."
Sam smiled and looked at him. "I bet you can." As a small grin made it's way onto her face.
Tyson pulled her closer "Wanna play?" he asked with a seductive smirk.
Sam pretended to think about it. "Hmmm… I dunno." She teased.
Tyson pouted, "Please? I'll play nice. If you want to." He smirked.
Sam laughed, turned to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Tyson let his hands wander underneath her shirt as he kissed her passionately. He then walked them towards Sam's bed holding tightly onto her waist. Sam smiled into the kiss when she saw where they were headed and fell onto the bed with Tyson on top of her. A second or two later they broke the kiss due to lack of air.
"Y-you know… I-I might actually like this g-game." She said trying to get her breath back as she looked at him.
Tyson smirked, "Me too." And kissed Sam again.
As Sam kissed back she moved her hands from Tyson's neck down to his waist then slid her hands underneath the back of his top. Tyson moaned and Sam chuckled a little then continued with her 'hand movements' that was until Tyson tickled her stomach. Sam giggled and broke the kiss, hitting him playfully as she looked at him.
"Hey you, no tickling."
Tyson smirked once again, "Says who?" as he continued to tickle her.
Sam's giggles turned into laughter, "S-says m-me." She managed to get out.
"Really?" as he continued.
Sam laughed even harder, "Y-yes! T-Tyson! S-stop!"
