Chapter 6
Kari's P.O.V
I sat down at the table with my breakfast. We were allowed to keep food in our apartments for the week, but a ready-made breakfast had sounded like a better option this morning.
Before I queued up for my breakfast I had taken a look at the timetable for today.
I was scheduled to do swimming this morning, art just before dinner and the assault course just before tea, then luckily I had been given the night off. 'I'll need it after the assault course' I thought to myself.
Picking up my toast I sat eating it quietly, listening to the conversations going on around me.
"So what have you guys got today? I'm down for soccer, art and swimming." 'Tai.'
"Same here," Sora exclaimed. "We'll be together all day Tai."
"Cool!" Was my brothers reply. 'Smooth Tai, real smooth.' I sighed and listened as everyone else said what they were doing today.
As they talked I got lost in my own conversation with myself. I was trying to convince myself that I didn't like Yamato.
'I don't like him.' I kept yelling in my head, but I knew it wasn't true. As much as I didn't want to feel this way for him, I couldn't help it. It was like every rational part of me was saying how stupid it would be to have a crush on 'the' Yamato Ishida. But then why did I feel butterflies doing somersaults in my stomach whenever I was around him. 'It's just not fair.'
I continued arguing with myself when I heard someone calling my name.
"Kari, hey Kari. You in there?" I snapped my head up at the sound of my name being called.
"Huh, what?" I asked.
"We asked you what you were doing today." Came an exasperated voice from across the table. I looked up to see Kelli glaring at me, waiting for an answer.
"Sorry," I hung my head down. "I was just thinking. Err, I've got swimming, art and the assault course."
"Same as me." Came a reply from next to me. I looked round to see Matt grinning at me.
'Oh no!' I wanted to leap up and run from the table right there and then, but I didn't think that would go down to well.
"Cool." I replied. 'Oh crap! I would have to say the exact same thing as my brother. My brother who is completely and utterly crazy about Sora. How ironic? Oh this is gonna be bad.'
I looked round quickly at everyone. They had all resumed their conversations. Tai and Sora were flirting, as where Izzy and Mimi. TK and Davis were fighting while Cody was trying to calm them down and Ken was trying to remove all sharp implements from their reach. I looked over at Kelli and Amy, they were gossiping quietly between themselves and every now and then, glancing up at Yamato and giggling.
I started to turn towards Yamato then stopped. 'I don't want to have a conversation with him, what if I say something really stupid or accidentally let on about how I really feel about him. I'm just gonna keep eating and being quiet.'
"Hey Kari?" 'Oh no, why everybody against me today? I don't want to talk to you!'
"Yes Yamato?" I answered quickly, keeping my head down.
"You wanna hang round together today?"
"Sure." I replied.
"So you wanna go now?" He asked again, glancing at his watch.
"Whatever." I answered again getting up and walking towards the bin.
I was almost there when I felt a hand catch hold of my arm.
"Hey Kari?" I turned to face Yamato.
"Yes." I asked almost impatiently. 'I don't mean to sound like this, I'm sorry, it's just hard.'
"Did I do something wrong? I mean are you mad at me or something?" He asked looking down at me with his huge blue eyes.
'I can't do it, I can't be cold towards him just because I've got a stupid crush.'
"No Yamato, I'm sorry. I guess I'm just not a morning person. I looked up at him and smiled weakly. Tossing my rubbish in the bin, I took his arm.
"Come on or we'll be late for swimming." I said, trying to sound cheerful.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We chatted idly as we walked to our apartments to collect our things for swimming.
"So what's really wrong?" He asked me as we walked towards the swimming pool.
"What?" I asked.
"I told you Kari, I can tell when you're lying. So tell me what's wrong. You never know, I might be able to help."
I laughed, I couldn't help it.
"What, what's so funny?"
"Nothing, sorry." I said, recovering from my little fit.
"Then why laugh? Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, honestly. Come on we're here now, go and get changed." I walked away quickly towards the changing rooms, to avoid any further questioning from Yamato.
I walked into a cubicle and took my stuff out of my bag. As I started to undress I knocked the towel and its contents onto the floor.
'Damn it' I bent down to pick it up and nearly had a heart attack as I noticed what had fallen out.
(A/N: Oh I so want to leave it there! Leave you guys all hanging again, but I'm in a nice mood and I conquered my writers block *wohoo* So I'll carry on. J's all round!)
**Flashback**
"Oh Kari, this is just so cute, you have to get this."
I saw Mimi running towards me waving something about in her hand.
Sora, Mimi, Yolie and I, had all decided to go shopping before we went away, to get some clothes and essential, chocolate.
"What is it Mimi?" I asked as she stopped in front of me.
"This, we're gonna be swimming a lot when we go away and if TK happens to have the same timetable, or just swimming at the same time as you, you're gonna want to look good!"
"Mimi I've already told you I don't like TK like that. We're just friends."
"Yeah, yeah just go and try it on!"
She pushed me towards the changing rooms grabbing various other items for herself as we neared it.
"Go on try it, you never know, you might like it."
Pouting I walked into the cubicle.
I looked in the mirror at myself after I'd finished changing. 'It doesn't look that bad I suppose.'
Mimi had picked out a red bikini. It was quite revealing. 'Too revealing for me though.' I thought as I heard Mimi, Sora and Yolie, yelling at me to get out of the cubicle so they could see.
I sighed and pulled back the curtain.
"See what did I tell you." Mimi exclaimed. "It's perfect!"
"TK will love it Kari."
"First of all, I feel like I'm naked, and second of all I DO NOT LIKE TK!"
"Look, my treat Kari, whether you wear it swimming with him or not, it still looks good on you."
"Fine, thank you Mimi, but I am not taking it with me."
**End flashback**
**Flashback to them all packing for the trip**
"You're still not gonna take this are you Kari?" Mimi asked.
"Nope."
"Fine. Hey will you go get me a drink?"
"What am I your slave?"
"Yes, now go into your kitchen and fetch me a diet soda." She giggled as I marched out the door saluting her.
**End Flashback**
"I'm going to kill her!"
I picked up the little red bikini and put it back on the bench as I searched my bag for another bathing costume. 'Damn you Mimi! I bet she swapped them while I got her that drink! I'll never trust her again.'
Picking up the tiny piece of material I proceeded to put it on. Then picking up my towel and wrapping it around myself I walked out of the cubicle and to the swimming pool.
Yamato's P.O.V
I waited at the side of the pool for Kari to come out. 'What's taking her so long?' I looked around to see a huge bunch of girls staring at me and giggling among themselves.
'You'd think they'd have given up by now.'
Turning my back to them I looked back towards the changing rooms and saw Kari emerge. She had a towel wrapped around her and she looked kind of uncomfortable. I saw her turn round and walk towards the benches
'Poor old Kari, she was always so shy.'
I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist. I felt her jump underneath me and then, shudder?
"Hey you, what's up with you taking so long?"
"Huh, oh, erm… Mimi kind of switched my bathing suits."
"Switched your bathing suits?" I turned her round to face me. "How is Mimi switching your bathing suits a bad thing?"
"Because now I'm wearing Mimi's taste in clothes and well… yeah…"
She trailed off and let her head fall. Reaching my hand up I lifted her chin up to face me.
"It can't be that bad." I smiled at her reassuringly. 'I bet she's got her dressed up in some bright pink thing.'
"Oh it is!" She said. "Look." I stepped back as she dropped her towel and my eyes and jaw nearly hit the ground with it.
'She's gorgeous. No wonder TK and Davis fight over her all the time.'
"I…It's not t…that bad." I managed to stutter. 'Man I sound like Tai when he's around Sora.'
"What's there is really nice, it's what's not there that's bothering me!" She exclaimed.
I smiled. 'She really is shy.'
"Come on." I said, taking her hand and leading her towards the instructor.
"She got you it to impress TK?" I asked.
"Yes, but I don't like him like that, and it doesn't seem to matter how many times I tell them all that, sorry, YOU ALL that, you never seem to give up."
She sighed in defeat and turned her attention to the teacher.
After listening to the instructor rant on about the no diving signs around the pool, the safety importance, like not running and other normal instructor like things we finally got to get into the pool.
"So you want to race?" I asked her.
"Sure, but I'm not as athletic as Tai, so go easy okay?"
"Whatever you say."
We swam back to the edge of the pool and got ready to take off.
"Ready?"
"Yup."
"Then Go!" I yelled as I launched myself off the edge of the pool and straight into a front crawl.
I looked back to see Kari quickly catching up with me. Starting to swim faster I looked back again only to see her swim straight past me and near the edge of the pool. Picking up my pace again I swam after her, but I wasn't quite fast enough to beat her. As I reached the edge I turned to see her grinning at me.
"You didn't have to take it that easy." She smiled.
"Haha, very funny. Where'd you learn to swim like that anyway?"
"I used to have lessons."
"Okay, so… let's not race again, okay?" I said smiling at her.
She laughed. 'Man, she looks so pretty when she laughs like that. Hell she looks pretty good any of the time.' I stared at her. 'How come I never noticed that before?' I wondered.
"Hey, Matt. Any particular reason why you're looking at me like that?"
"Huh, no. I was just thinking about how much TK is gonna kick himself for not being here."
"Huh?"
"I mean you look really pretty."
She blushed at this and started to turn round. I caught her round bringing her back to face.
"Come on Kari, don't go all shy on me. You know you're a knock-out."
She lifted her head up to look at me, brushing her lips along mine as she did, sending electricity racing through my body. She jumped back in shock.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"
Trailing off again she ducked her head back down avoiding all eye contact with me.
Gulping I brought my hand back to her chin and cupped it slightly forcing her to look at me. Her cheeks were glowing red and she had her eyes tightly closed.
"Kari, why are you so jumpy today?"
"I'm not."
"Oh you know you are."
"I just didn't mean to do that, that's all."
"What, kiss me?"
"I didn't kiss you, it was an accident."
"Sure it was Kari." I smiled.
She opened her mouth about to protest again but caught on when she saw me smile.
"Very funny Yamato." She laughed.
I leaned in towards her, brushing my lips against her ear this time.
"You know it's okay to want me you know." I whispered.
Bringing her head up quickly again, she looked like she was going to faint in shock.
"I…I don't want you Yamato." She whispered back.
"Of course you do" I said, never once breaking eye contact with her.
'She really can take your breath away.'
"You're the one that said I looked good, remember?" She whispered playfully.
"And you do, but I still know that you want me."
"Don't flatter yourself Yamato."
"I'm not, Hikari. Man what's up with calling me Yamato all of a sudden?"
"Sorry, I didn't realize I was. But don't you dare call me Hikari again."
"Why not, Hikari?"
"Because, I'll bite you if you do it again."
"Go ahead, Hikari."
"Fine you asked for it!"
She leaned in for my arm but I managed to grab both of hers before she could do any serious damage, and pulled her round so her back was up against the side of the swimming pool.
"Hey, that's not fair!" She cried as she tried to wriggle free of my grip.
"Stop acting like a worm and hold still." I half yelled over the noise of the pool, as we both dragged each other under the water. Still continuing her little worm dance I grabbed both her arms and pinned them to her sides as we both came back up for air and then disappeared back under the water again. This time I managed to get her pinned against the wall as well and hold her there for a second before she started to squirm again.
"Hold still!" I mouthed.
"No!"
We both came up for air again laughing and struggling and this time she lunged for me trying to bite my arm.
Dragging us both back under the water we continued our play fighting. I wrestled her back to the side but she leaned forwards at the same time. Our mouths caught hold of one another.
I felt her body go limp and I just couldn't control myself anymore pinning her back against the wall I kissed her.
Wohoo done! And it only took three hours!
I want reviews this time peepz I've hardly had any for my last two chapters so I won't post anymore until I get at least five! Grrr! lol J
Read and Review please! It doesn't take that long!
