Chapter four

The months living with Kai Hiwatari…weren't exactly boring, Bellatrix found herself enjoying the nights when Kai's friends all came over for their weekly sleepovers or just came over in general. Nothing much changed between the relationship with her housemate, the only time they conversed was when someone needed something or if it was just a simple 'get out of the bathroom'. Tala's advances on Bellatrix had ceased and instead another boy who referred to himself as 'King' had started, but King's jealously was directed towards Kai.

"I am not interested," Bellatrix cried out frustrated, she shoved past King and made her way towards the radio's operations room. King was a tall very tan twenty year old and his vibrant white hair stood out amongst his complexion. He had night classes which often ended just before Bellatrix's radio segments, luckily for her, Johnny would be there.

"But I am," his soft arrogant voice drifted to her ears and she whirled on him in an instant.

"I know!" She poked him in the chest, her brown eyes hiding a hidden burst of fire, "and that's what's frustratin', I am not interested, I don't have time for datin', I don't like you, meanin' I am not goin' to date you!" He smirked back down at her and she growled.

"You're cute when you're angry," he said simply.

"I've been told," she mumbled remembering what Tala had said to her on occasion. She sent him a final look and walked off down the staircase, entering the room she started taking CDs out of her bag and pulling some off the numerous shelves.

"Isn't that my job to make the play lists?" Johnny asked as he entered the room with two cups of coffee.

"Yea but I was bored-"

"Or frustrated, I know that look Bella," Johnny sat down in his seat behind the glass and watched her lazily.

"How do I work this thin'?" The black haired girl asked after a while as she stared at the computer screen. The radio operations room got all new equipment, most of it computer technology. It took Johnny only ten minutes to do all the necessary tasks that would've taken Bellatrix at least an hour or longer.

"Five minutes until air time," Johnny said glancing at his watch and then handing over the bottle of water. The black haired girl went into her booth and placed on a microphone that they had stolen from the Drama department.

She watched Johnny do the count down and she smiled, "DJ Trix here with the top forty countdown, we have the latest songs off MTV charts and the most voted so enjoy guys, this is comin' from me to you at 102.9. And this is number 40 Bad Day by Daniel Powter." She pushed a button and leaned back, listening to the music.

Kai instantly turned the radio off once he heard her voice, it was everywhere, and he couldn't understand why his friends seemed to actually like her. Of course she was a wonderful cook and had great music taste but she was just too cheerful and if she wasn't cheerful she was sarcastic and held a grudge. When she held a grudge you couldn't ignore it either, Bellatrix was starting to have some effect on him and he didn't like it one bit.

"Oh, Muffin," Kai cringed at the nickname Eriol gave him, "I like that song," she pouted and began drawing circles against his chest; "whatsa matter?" she asked softly, "is it because of the girl, Bellatrix?"

"No," Kai replied quickly, his eyes remained on the book in his hands, using this as a cover to hide his emotions.

"Well just so you know I don't like her also, she's very conceited and loud, her voice is all too annoying, she doesn't even say her g's at the end of a word!"

"There's a reason for that," Kai mentally slapped himself, now he was standing up for her.

"Really? What? Some traumatic incident happened as a child and she can't pronounce her g's because she became a mute," she scoffed, Eriol stood up and glared out of the window, "just wonderful, one of her friends…" Kai groaned and stood up; he walked to the door and opened it before the person could even knock.

"What?" he asked rudely. King was standing outside, a smirk working over his lips.

"Well, well, well," King drawled, "fancy seeing you here Kai," he brushed his fingers through his white hair and then looked down at the bouquet of flowers.

"You know very well that I live here," Kai retorted, he leaned against the door frame and regarded the flowers, disgusted.

"I would give anything to be in your place," King added, his smirk widened and he crossed his arms, careful not to destroy the red roses, "to have her anytime you want…you know what I mean right?" His eyes lit up, he was teasing just to see what effect it had on Kai, "look at you, you're shaking, in what? Anger?" Kai was indeed shaking in anger, he wasn't trying to defend Bellatrix but a comment like that was disgraceful to woman and it was men like this that set a bad example of the entire male population. "Oh, hey Eriol," he leaned down and pecked the green haired girl on the cheek, "as always you look lovely, was I interrupting something?"

Kai glared at him and then walked off allowing the two to talk, later he would ask her where she knew him from. "Mind if King stays for dinner Kai?" Eriol asked entering the lounge again. Her face was flushed but from the cold or from King Kai didn't care.

"Whatever," he lifted the book to his face so he could block both of them from his view, "but give me the flowers and I'll put them in Bellatrix's room." He set the book down again and looked at King, the glare still on his face.

"Are you allowed in her room?" Eriol and King asked at the same time, Eriol more disgruntled and King insinuating something entirely different.

"To put flowers on her bed I think it's alright," Kai snapped, he grabbed the flowers, a bit rough that he was sure something broke inside the wrapping but still he just trudged up the stairs. It was silent upstairs, usually loud music was streaming out of her room or she was on the phone talking to someone. Since Bellatrix moved in their phone bills skyrocketed, and because the only phone upstairs was in the corridor she brought a new chair to put next to the side table. Suddenly he smirked as he remembered how much the black haired girl hated King, it would be incredibly wicked to tell her he had been in her room. He had only been in Bellatrix's room once that was when he had to get her to sign some forms. He didn't actually like the room much, she was neat, he'd give her props for that but it was bright and cheery unlike his room which was dark and cold. He placed the roses on the bed and left not wanting to linger more than he should have to.

Three hours later found a drunken Eriol and two sober young men sitting in the lounge, only two laughing and one just trying to ignore them, his history book in hand. "Oh for fucks sake," Bellatrix's voice rang in the corridor and pretty soon it was only heard from the outside, "Johnny! Come back I want to go to your house, he's here!" Bellatrix waved her hand to the speeding car and then pouted. She walked back up the steps and entered the lounge room dismally, "good evenin'," she smiled at Eriol and Kai and scoffed at King, dumping her bag on the seat beside Kai, only because she didn't trust it anywhere near King, she entered the kitchen and turned the radio on, "hope you don't mind, my friend is on air."

"When it comes to guys Melissa, and their friends, they sort of act all arrogant because of pride. They don't want to act all soft and romantic because then they'd have to face the ridicule, don't worry about your man Mel; I'm sure he makes it up to you. And most of the time he's terribly sorry for putting you on the spotlight and ignoring you but if he didn't ignore you, he'll receive payback. Also the rule 'mates before dates', guys seem to like following this rule and to tell you the truth I wouldn't get in the way of his boyish activities. Footy games and just being with their mates always comes first unless he has the guts to tell them himself."

"Who is this fool?" King asked brashly, his fingertips once again went to his hair and he stared at the radio with distaste as the announcer began another advice segment to another caller.

"You never heard of Doc?" Bellatrix gaped and then stared wide eyed at the boy from the doorway of the kitchen.

"Who the hell is he?"

"Doc is the love doctor on the radio, he's one of my friends, Enrique – how can you not have heard of him?" she asked again.

"Because I don't listen to the radio," King replied easily, he smiled at Eriol who had a look that she didn't necessarily listen to the radio either.

"And you like me, how the hell did you even find out who I was?" Bellatrix's head snapped back in the doorway and she glared at King, "I work for the radio station if you haven't bluntly noticed," her voice becoming dangerously low and Kai could feel a headache coming, a dull throbbing at the back of his head. Since she had moved in he had been getting migraines, terrible headaches all because of her annoying voice and her tendency to not shut up.

"I heard from a few friends, who heard from Tala, who knows you and since then I have become very taken towards you my Belle," King stood up and made his way towards the kitchen but Kai hurried toward them and stood in front of them , trying not to allow Bellatrix to reach King.

"I am not yours, just so you know. I am not an object for you to own, anyone, to own for that matter. I have feelin's and emotions and I have blood runnin' through my veins, the day that my blood turns to dust will you be able to possess me, but seein' as I have a good healthy seventy to eighty years ahead of me. I doubt that would be happenin' any time soon." Bellatrix had stepped out of the kitchen, a knife in hand from preparing herself dinner; her hair was surrounding her face like a dark curtain, obviously not a good sign.

"And that's what I love about you, your ability to lash out at someone with your sharp tongue," King looked over Kai's shoulder, disregarding him completely, sending her suggestive looks, licking his lips for instance, "what harm can it cause if you go out with me?"

"Out of my house this instant!" Bellatrix screamed getting the intention of the innuendo, "out for being a dirty bastard!" She was being held back by someone, she stopped suddenly and noticed that Kai and Eriol were in front of her and King close to being hurt by Kai, for reasons she didn't know.

"Get out now King," Tala glared at him and slowly slid the knife out of Bellatrix's hand knowing that with the write button pushed the man in front of them could be headless.

"What did I say? What were you insinuating?" King said innocently, "I merely said she had sharp tongue, as in quick and intelligent," he rolled his eyes and picked up his jacket from the couch, "get your mind out of the gutter, you need a lift Eriol?" he looked at the green haired girl who stood up elegantly.

"I'll see you for lunch Kai," Eriol pecked him on the cheek and followed her friend out of the door. Kai watched them leave and turned to Bellatrix who had returned to the kitchen, alone.

"I'll kill him," Tala muttered, "I seriously will, for saying something like that to my-"

Ahem.

"-for saying something like that to a woman," he changed tactics and stared at Kai who was smirking, "why was he here anyway?" he asked suddenly, "and what's Eriol doing around with him?"

Kai shrugged and entered the kitchen, just to make sure Bellatrix didn't kill anything in her anger, "their friends, he's her model for her designing class and he wanted to drop off some flowers," he glanced at the black haired girl busy chopping up some potatoes.

"I'll burn them," she whispered, more to herself than to Tala and Kai. Her hand was moving quickly over the chopping board as she chopped up onions for a simple stir-fry, her hair was still a curtain around her face but she didn't make any attempt to move it. They stayed in silence, finding it probably safer than to say something stupid and making the girl want to kill someone further.
