Chapter Eleven: Trust In You
Kai's POV
"Well Ray may have won the match but we're still going to the interview" says Tyson
"No, we're fucking not!" I say as both Hero and Kenny make sounds of moaning
"Yes we fucking are!" Tyson argues back
"No, we're fucking not!"
"Fucking are!"
"Fucking not!"
"Are!"
"Not!"
"Are!"
"Not!"
"Are!"
"Ray won fair and square" I say with a dark look at Ray "even if she did join the match for other purposes"
Ray looks up at me and I can tell she's truly sorry but something stops me from forgiving her. There was something so pointed about what she said and if I'm honest it surprised me, I didn't think Ray could be so pointed and spiteful.
"Ok so Ray won" says Tyson "But we're still going"
"Tyson, nothing you can do or say will make me change my mind about going to the interview" I say firmly
Talk to the wall Hiwatari, you'd get more of a response. I sigh with a scowl as I walk after the others who are all bouncing ahead. Well Tyson, Max and Daichi are bouncing but only reason why Kenny is bouncing is because Tyson is dragging Kenny along. Ray and Hero are behind them talking, Ray is miserable while Hero is high on life…I bet she is. My scowl turns to a snarl which is aimed at Hero's back and I know she can feel it, she's just taking advantage of the fact that Ray and I are not talking.
"Hey! Wait for us!"
"Tala, Bryan go home, you can't come" I say
"Why not?" demands Tala with a sulky pout, "I'm a lot better at interviews than you are mainly because I actually answer the questions with more of a response than Hn"
"I answer the questions" I say while moving my glare from Hero's back to Ray's just in case Ray's feeling left out in the glares department.
"Liar. I remember the last interview you went to, the reporter spent so long trying to get you to talk the interview lasted three hours and the reporter brought herself a sleeping bag preparing for an overnight stay in the studio"
"I remember that" Hilary appears beside me with a look that says 'I know you and you're being pathetic'
"I'm not apologising to Ray so don't bother to try and persuade me otherwise" I warn
"Actually I was going to try and plead with you to answer the reporter's questions without swearing" replies Hilary "but please and try to make up with Ray, the rest of us live in fear of our lives when you two fight"
"I'll get them to make up!" says Tala brightly
"No you won't!" I say very quickly before turning back to Hilary "if I want to fucking swear I will and no I won't 'make up' with Ray just because of you lot!"
"Kaiiii!" whines Hilary "come on! You're just being childish!"
"About the interview or Ray?" I ask
"About both!"
"Go and bother Ray!" I say firmly pushing her away "or go talk to Hero, or tell Tyson to stop bouncing on Daichi's head. And while you're at it tell Max to stop showing off her underwear at passing people"
Hilary growls but walks off all the same while I deal with the double prick act "Tala, Bryan"
"Yes Kai"
"Fuck off"
"Ohhh!"
"Go!"
"But-"
"Clear off before I set a hungry Tyson on you"
Both Bryan and Tala stop and back off "come on Bryan, we could not survive the torture of a hungry Tyson" they do indeed begin to back off further but are unable to totally bugger off by a large weedy looking object which is yelling out its warrior call.
"KAIIII!"
Oh no "what the fuck is that?" asks Tala who dives behind Bryan in order not to get flattened. Oh no. The others up ahead turn back as a pair of banana arms envelope me with no regard for my 'don't ever touch me and fuck off you freak' policy.
Tyson and the others walk back to us all except Ray who hangs back slightly. Tyson prods the thing that is embracing me and slowly suffocating me to death "is that a human?" he asks
"I know him!" Max smiles brightly
"Ohh!" Kenny gives a noise of recognition which is all very well but it's not actually helping me out of my Boa Constrictor squeeze
"Is it some kind of fish?" asks Bryan bringing out his penknife just in case
"Close" I sigh, "it's Wyatt"
"I've never heard of the Wyatt fish" says Bryan "is it very poisonous?"
"Or does it squeeze its victims to death?" asks Tala peering out from behind Bryan
"He's harmless really" I say, "he's a friend"
"You mean you actually like it?" say Bryan and Tala together raising alternate eyebrows
"It's- I mean he's not all that bad" I defend whilst trying to un-stick Wyatt who seems to have solidified in place
Wyatt finally unclasps himself and says in a very puzzled voice "you're a lot squishier than I remember"
Both Bryan and Tala grin toothy grins "we like him already"
"Oh haha" I say darkly
"What are you doing here Wyatt?" asks Tyson now that Wyatt has managed to untwist himself from my body
"I came to see you guys" says Wyatt with a huge grin "and Kai of course!" lucky me.
"Are we going to the interview or what?" I ask while Tala and Bryan shake the hand of the guy who is my number one fan when all things considered. Pulling Bryan away from Wyatt I mutter "whatever you're planning to do. Don't"
Bryan grins.
"So miss Hiwatari, did you change to a girl by choice?" that's not actually what the reporter is asking but I can tell she's dying to, instead she turns to Hero to ask a question. This is what I'd like her to say
Kai's world
Reporter - "so Hero, how did you become a girl?"
Hero (sniffing and tearful) - "that mean bastard Kai Hiwatari tricked me in to drinking some dodgy water"
Reporter – "well you stupid prune!"
But back in reality
"So Hero, was it tough leaving the Bladebreakers behind to join the BEGA training squad?" God, she is so boring! Where did all the original people go? Daichi sneezes and sprays snot all over one the cameras…well that answers my questions quite nicely. Behind the cameras I can see Wyatt jumping up and down excitedly and waving at me so violently he bangs in to a cameraman who falls over his own camera.
"Kai, you too joined BEGA. Was this to do with your constant defeat to Tyson or was it to do with your past with Boris?"
The whole team flinched and behind the cameras both Tala and Bryan closed their eyes in preparation, as waiting for an almighty explosion that threatens to rock the world.
"Hn" I say
Tala falls over while Bryan smacks the side of his head with a sigh as both Tyson and Daichi start sniggering with relief.
"I have a question!" shouts Tala as he scrambles to his feet and sits himself next to the reporter ignoring the hiss; he turns to me. Whatever you're planning Tala I swear if you ask what I think you're about to ask then I will show your underwear for the world to see.
"So Kai, is it true that your full name is Kai Susan Hiwatari?" he asked it.
I am going to kill him. Tala looks at me expectantly "no" I say "it's actually Kai Silas Hiwatari, except when you were four years old you had problems with the name Silas!"
"Now I'm glad you mentioned your childhood" says Tala with a glint in his eye, keep talking Ivanov and I will shove that camera where the sun doesn't shine "because there's a rumour going round that when you were about twelve you had the misfortune of meeting Boris under the mistletoe, is that true?"
Kai's world
I stand up, grab Tala by his scrawny hairdo and swing him round sending him flying in to Bryan who is currently sniggering behind the camera.
But back in reality
I don't answer but merely glare at Tala, who smirks. Just you wait Ivanov; I'll wipe that smug good for nothing smirk off your face with Hero's backside. Meanwhile my loyal and understanding team whom always see the world in my perspective (ha, what planet am I on?) are holding hands up to mouths and sniggering quietly. I'll see them all in hell.
Arriving back in to the relative safety of the Granger kitchen I glare at Tala who primly brushes off a few nonexistent specks of dust from his top
"You are the limit Ivanov!" I snarl
Tala smirks "oh get over yourself, it was just a bit of fun"
"A bit of fun?" I repeat, "may I remind that after you'd finished asking me the most ridiculous questions you then set about destroying the studio!"
"It wasn't deliberate" defends Tala "calm down Susan"
"You managed to set it on fire!" I fume
Bryan, who came in with Tala carrying two cup of fizzy orange, sniggers "a classic Ivanov"
"Well, at least someone appreciates my work of art" says Tala in a haughty voice
"Work of art?" I don't believe this "is that what you call it?"
"Or a pile of rubble" says Tala taking a cup of fizzy orange from Bryan, sticking a straw in it he begins to slurp noisily
"So let me get this straight," I say as the others come in, Tyson with his hair still smoking and a nice bald patch on the back "you deliberately destroyed the studio?"
"Oh yeah, we planned it from the start" Tala nods "didn't we Bry?"
Bryan confirms this while he too slurps noisily through a straw "down to the very last broken microphone"
"And who is going to pay for the damage also known as the 'work of art'?" I ask with a voice of ice
Tala and Bryan look at me as if I'm stupid "well, you of course"
"Me" I say
They both nod slurping simultaneously. Only Bryan and Tala could pull something like that off.
"No" I say
"No?" they have the NERVE to not understand!
I let out a humourless laugh "if you think I'm paying for the damage you caused in that studio then you can go shove one of those broken cameras up your ass!"
"Ouch" say Bryan and Tala still slurping
"I mean it!" I state in my 'you WILL do as I say otherwise, I am not joking, I will shove your head down the toilet' voice. Proper bully, aren't I. I'd probably be slapped round the face for this except this is Bryan and Tala I'm talking to and to them having their heads shoved down the toilet is no more than a tickle.
"But how are we going get the money for the studio?" asks Tala aghast "it'll cost a fortune!"
"Why don't you go tap dancing down the high street stark naked?" I snap
Tala and Bryan both pull their puppy faces which is about as effective as the thought of Daichi stripping. With a snort of distaste I turn and pushing passed Ray walk out the house and up the road.
"Hey Kai! Hey Kai!"
I sigh with irritation but getting rid of Wyatt is like trying to un-stick chewing gum from the bottom of your shoe "what?" I snap
"I want to know where you're going" says Wyatt in a hurt voice with the expression of a beaten puppy
"Wyatt, in case you hadn't noticed I am now a girl"
"Oh is that why you're so squishy?" says Wyatt with a dawn of comprehension
Swallowing down the temptation to push him in to that prickly bush I continue "yes Wyatt I am now a girl but that is something I intend to change. However I can't do that by going to interviews, I'm going to the science lab to sort this mess out"
"And we're coming with you" says Wyatt cheerfully
"No you're not- what do you mean we?" I turn to see my fuddy duddy team whom I loathe- I sigh but seeing as I haven't been able to get rid of them in the last three years I don't see how I can do it now, therefore I walk on without another word.
"Come on Kai" Tyson catches me up "you love us really"
"Tyson I do not love you" I disagree "if I loved you I would buy you presents on your birthday and for Christmas, I wouldn't make you train so hard and I wouldn't be constantly trying to escape you. So no, I don't love you"
Tyson hops back to the others "isn't denial such a sweet thing?"
I growl with annoyance but this only brings up the sugary nightmare who grins at me "Max, go away"
Max pouts "that's not very nice, especially when I brought the giant cuddly version of yourself with us"
I whirl round to see that indeed she is dragging along my cuddly version self, with Daichi and Kenny taking a ride on top of it. Scowling furiously I make no comment as Max bounces off to join Tyson in a game of I Spy. Realising that I haven't see Ray yet I wait and see her and Hero round the corner talking together at the back of the group very animatedly. Ray catches my eye but looks away again. What are those two talking about so secretly? Narrowing my eyes I turn and head in the direction of the science lab.
Entering the science lab gates we find that the front doors are locked, Kenny jumps off my giant cuddly self and runs, pigtails bobbing, over to the number pad which is our way in, turning to us she says "I'm going to have hack in to the system to find out the code"
"Ar man, that'll take forever" whines Tyson
Rolling my eyes I push Kenny aside and punch the number pad with my fist, the number pad whirs, spits sparks and dies as the doors swing open.
"Or we could do that" says Kenny "either way is good"
I turn to the others "we spilt up" I say. Lets see if I can break the dream couple at the back "Ray, Max and Kenny you're with me. Tyson, Hero, Daichi and Wyatt; you go to the cellars and see what you can discover"
"Aye, aye captain Kai!" says Tyson saluting "uh what do we do with the giant cuddly version of yourself?"
"Take it with you, scare some of them with it" I reply eyeing the object in question with distain "it's freaky enough"
"Kai!" scolds Max "it is your double! Do not mock it so!"
As I do not know quite how to respond to that except to bury Max's head in the ground I use my answer to answer all words "hn"
I walk in to the science lab lobby; our arrival has of course brought the attention of the security guards who all raise their weapons. These weapons consist of a three year old boy (apparently it's 'bring your kid to work' day), a lollypop and a fake gun. I know it's fake for the simple reason that it has 'FAKE' emblazed on the side.
The security guard raises his fake gun "don't move! Or I'll fire!"
"Sure go ahead" I say "take Tyson out first"
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" a scientist shrieks as he comes rushing in goggles askew and white coat flapping. He brandishes his clipboard at us.
"Us?" I walk up to him and stare straight in to his face; his eyes cross "we're invading"
"Uh Kai" says Kenny in a tone which I would not call confident
To show that what she has to say doesn't have my interest in the slightest I say "hn"
"Do you want the good news or the bad news?"
I sigh with irritation seeing as I have to pay attention, putting down the file I was looking at I walk over to Kenny.
"The good news is I tapped in to the computer system," says Kenny once I've joined her and- and why is she wearing a florescent pick mini skirt? "The bad news is that I've managed to see the latest on the local news" Kenny loads up the screen.
And there I see two naked people tapping dancing in the middle of the high street, the red head on the left is unmistakeable. I sigh and hang my head in shame; I denounce my membership in the Blitzkrieg Boys as of now.
"At least they haven't mentioned anyone" mumbles Kenny
And right on cue Tala shouts from the screen to a police man "IT WAS KAI HIWATARI WHO TOLD US TO DO THIS! THAT'S RIGHT! KAI SUSAN HIWATARI!"
Kenny clears her throat as I choose whether to go out there and kill Tala now or later
"Apart from that" I manage "what else have you found out?" I try to keep a lid on my fury but soon there won't be much point in the lid as the pot will burst
"I found the formulas they used to change us from guys to girls" says Kenny giving me the news I've been praying to hear "give me a few moments and I'll be able to understand what they did"
"That's the best news I've had all day" I say "and for once in my life chief, I'm proud of you"
Kenny glows "I try"
"You know where Max and Ray are?"
"In the next room" says Kenny tapping a few keys here and there on the keyboard "I bet you can't wait to be a guy again, huh Kai?"
"You got that right" I leave the room, stepping over a scientist who is out cold on the floor with his tongue lolling and his eyes crossed. Going to the next room and dodge another comatose scientist and peer in the room at my teammates.
I see Max and Ray going through the files, well, Ray is throwing random files on the floor while Max falls over them. Tell me, why did I join this team?
"You promise you won't tell anyone what I told you in the mall?" asks Max anxiously
Ray smiles down at her as Max falls over another file "like you even need to ask"
"But you promise?"
"Of course I promise. It's our secret"
"What is?" I ask on entering the room
"That I'm in love with Tyson and always will be" says Max nonchalantly
There's a silence.
"At least I didn't give away your secret" says Ray somewhat befuddled as Max claps her hands over her mouth as her huge blue eyes widen in horror
"I can't believe I just said that!" squeaks Max "oh Kai, you won't tell! Promise you won't say!"
I shrug "I already knew"
"Seems you know all kinds of secrets" says Ray as Max splutters incomprehensibly
"That's because most people are like an open book" I respond coolly
Ray says nothing but drops another file on the floor
"Are you actually going through them?" I ask irritably
"But of course" breathes Ray in what I would call mocking tones making me wonder whether she is sorry for what she said at the match that she interrupted "this one is full of crap" she drops another file on the floor without looking at it "and this one too"
"Are you being awkward for a reason?" I ask through gritted teeth
"Awkward?" repeats Ray with the face of angel "pray tell me I'm not being awkward!"
I glare at her and pick up the file she so considerately dropped, reading it I listen vaguely to Ray and Max's conversation.
"But what do I do?" asks Max
"Tell Tyson" replies Ray dropping another file at my feet pointedly "but you got to be confident, confidence is sexy"
"Right" Max blinks at her "will you tell Tyson for me?"
"…No" says Ray "remember confidence. Oh and when you tell Tyson don't go on and on about how long you've suffered. You need to sound confident and not like a victim of unrequited love"
"Like you'd know anything about unrequited love" I jeer
Ray goes quiet and the file in her hand drops to the floor "guess I don't" she whispers before leaving the room, shoving passed me. Smooth Hiwatari, real smooth.
"Hey! Where she go?" whimpers Max "I can't do this! I'm sweating already!"
She is indeed sweating like a stuck pig "think you can finish in here?" I say before following Ray out the room.
Wondering where Ray might have gone and curious as to why I'm bothering to follow her at all I hear the sound of screaming as Tala and Bryan come bursting in to the corridor leaving a path of fainted scientists.
"Are you two planning to put some clothes on anytime soon?" I ask eyes flaming
"Oh never mind that now!" Tala wafts this away "we've found someone you'll want to meet"
"And who's that?" I ask with little patience "and have you seen Ray?"
"Sure, Kon's with Hero. They're discussing something that I wasn't listening to" says Bryan. Ray's with Hero again! Talk about replacing people.
"Never mind Ray, we've found you the head scientist" says Tala "you can't talk to him right now because he fainted when we walked in"
"I'm not surprised!" I snap
"What have we done?" asks Tala in mock hurt tones
"How long have you got?" I snarl
"Kai, if there is anything we can do to ease your anger then please tell us" says Bryan earnestly "anger solves nothing"
Tala and I stare at him
"Are you feeling alright?" asks Tala slightly unnerved
"It's this new doctor you sent me to, don't worry I haven't slept with her" explains Bryan "but she's really good and she gave me a book on how to control my anger and channel it out of my being. I've been reading it the whole time! I see now that it was cruel to beat Ray to a pulp those years ago and when I next see her I shall sit her down and tell her that any vengeful feelings she has, she must disperse them before they eat her alive!"
"Lord help her!" mutters Tala "she'll have a nervous breakdown if Bryan tries to do that"
Let's step out the picture for a moment shall we and get a good look at my life; my two best friends are walking around the world with no clothes and no compassion to what others might feel about this. One of my friends who we all know as violent and anger obsessed is now saying that he shall channel his anger from himself as well as the rest of the world. Max is in love with the biggest brainless buffoon this world has to offer while Tyson is as we speak wander around this science lab scaring all the scientists with a giant cuddly version of myself. Can life get any worse?
"I presume you'll want to talk to this head scientist," says Tala turning to me "before hand though would you mind asking to see if they have anymore of that girl stuff? I'm dying to see what Bryan looks like as a girl!"
"No!" I hiss "if I wanted my life to be ruled by a anger obsessed freak who believes in the channelling anger which was turned in to a girl I would have done it myself ages ago!"
"Please!" pleads Tala clasping his hands together, "I promise you as soon as we get back to Tyson's I'll paint your room pink!"
"Go and put some fucking clothes on!" I seethe
So there we are! What D'ya think? do tell! you know i love to hear what you have to say!
by the by The Eyes Of An Animal HAS BEEN UPDATED! Whales! too much trouble by half! and Virtue Of Life IS ALSO UPDATED! Kai and Ray's relationship gets that bit more complicated!
anywho until next time people!
