Chapter 7
Yamato's P.O.V
I saw her running down the street towards me. Crystalline tears running down her cheeks, and traces of mascara smudged over her cheeks
I don't know why I did it, why I stepped out of the bushes and drew her towards me. I could've let her run past, I could've kept the pain away. But then the thought of Kari running alone in the middle of the night, oblivious to what was around her, anything could happen to her... I would never have forgiven myself if she got hurt. So I did it. I stepped out of the bushes and in a moment, had my arms wrapped around her. I heard her gasp, and scream, and I guessed she hadn't seen me. 'Of course she hadn't seen me, I was hiding in the bushes. Stupid brain... stupid.'
Her scream cut short, I kept my grip around her waist tight with one hand and slowly lifted the other up to her chin. I tilted it up slightly to see her face. It seemed to glow beneath the light. Even when she was crying she still was beautiful.
"Come on" I said softly, "Lets get you inside"
I walked behind her and led her gently towards the entrance of the hotel. I felt her resist at first, but she gradually relented, and walked with me.
We got into the hotel and I signed in quickly, then took Kari to the elevator. She didn't look at me once; she just kept her eyes straight ahead focusing on the elevator doors.
I pressed for the lift and we waited in silence until we heard the creak and strain of the metal ropes and the lift settling on the ground. The heavy metal doors heaved themselves open to reveal a dimly lit room in the elevator. Music played quietly in the background as I pressed the button to take us to the 11th floor.
As the wires began to creak again and lift us slowly upwards I turned and glanced at her. The tears were gone now, but looked as though they were threatening to fall again. I looked down at her, her clothes slightly muddy and her hair a mess from the wind.
She'd changed so much. Now before me stood a gorgeous young woman. I let my eyes wander over the curves in her body. The way her clothes hung perfectly and accented all of her features. I sighed inwardly remembering that night when I'd finally gotten to hold her close to me. It had been so perfect; even now I could still feel her lips on mine. I could still remember her taste, and the smell of her hair. I still wanted her. I sighed out loud this time. I couldn't have her, she was with my brother and I was with Sora. The elevator ground to a halt and the doors swung open again. I stepped out and waited for Kari to do the same.

Kari's P.O.V
I could feel his eyes on me the whole way up to his room. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe what was I doing. Going up to Yamato Ishida's room with him! The guy I was supposed to hate more than TK! The reason I was with TK in the first place... TK was my way to forget him. What was I doing? The elevator jerked to a stop and I watched as Matt stepped out. I didn't want to follow. I wanted to lean forwards and press the button for the first floor, run away from him, back home. But as I looked up into his deep blue eyes I could feel myself falling all over again. His arm extended and I took it, allowing myself to be led around the corner and into his room.
I looked around the room. It looked expensive. Ornaments lined the walls, and there were fancy wardrobes and too much space to know what to do with. There was a door, which I assumed led to a bathroom, which was probably over-sized as well. In the very middle of the room a big king-sized bed. I averted my eyes from this and turned to face the window. The rain had started to fall and I listened as thunder started to rumble in the distance. And I felt him walk towards me and stop just behind.
"So." He asked quietly. He paused. "Do you want to tell me what you were running away from?"
I didn't know whether I should tell him or not. Part of me wanted to. Part of me wanted to fall out of TK's arms and straight into Matt's. Part of me wanted to be with him and only him, just like I'd dreamed all those years ago. But part of me still couldn't forgive him, part of me just wanted to hit him over and over again, to try and show him what pain he had put me through. What pain he was putting me through just by being close to me.
"Kari?" He asked gently. "Do you want to tell me what happened? Or would you like me to take you home?"
I looked up at him. 'Take me home,' the voices in my head shouted at me, 'yes, take me home that's what I want you to do! Take me away from all the pain you make me feel!'
I parted my lips to speak...
"…"
Okay I had some help with this chapter so thankyou arch_nemesis.
