Chapter 2
Rika woke with a start. She gasped as she shot up into a sitting position in her bed. She breathed deeply for a moment, sweat covered her brow and her heart was racing. She took in one deep breath and calmed herself down.
She looked to the side of her bed to the locker and the alarm clock. " 5.00" (pm) " I've slept most of the day away" she sighed and rubbed her tired eyes. She'd been having that same dream again, or nightmare I should say. The one that kept her awake most nights. That was why she was in the training room so early, or for her it was late. She hadn't gone to sleep that night so it wasn't surprising that she'd slept most of the day away.
As she rubbed her eyes she noticed the bandages on her hands as she brought them to her face. She half smiled and examined both hands, to see if any blood was seeping through. No, Kai had done a good job, much better than anything she would have done. He was right not to trust her to do it. She wouldn't have. She would have just left them that way and covered them with her gloves. Which was what she was going to do now. She went to her dresser and pulled out a new pair of gloves, identical to the others. Putting back on the blood stained ones might not be such a good idea.
The bandages were wrapped on thinly but tightly so the gloves could still slip over them to cover them up. It was as though Kai had thought ahead for it. After fitting the gloves she was going to get dressed but on seeing herself in the full-length mirror on her wall she sighed. She was a mess, her hair was all messed up and tangled, her skin covered in places with dried blood and sweat. ' Sweat, uh!' she thought in disgust. That was it she couldn't possibly present herself like this in front of anyone.
Taking off the gloves again she head for the bathroom and turner on the shower. Steam filled the bathroom as she shed her clothes. The bandages would have to be replaced after this of course but Kai wouldn't mind.
She stepped into the shower and relaxed under the warm waters, which seemed to massage her tense and sore muscles. The after math of her ' training' was finally taking its toll. She leaned back against the wall of the rather large shower and while letting the water just run down her body she let her mind drift back to her dreams.
Every-time it had been the same, but also different in ways. She was standing in a large, dark room that resembled both a cave and a temple or chapel. Dim light was provided by fire torches on the walls and for some reason it all felt familiar to her. She walked about this strange place but seemed to get nowhere, calling out for someone, anyone but she seemed to be alone. All alone!
Another dream that was similar to this was where she found herself in what looked like a huge maze or labyrinth more like. It was made from stone and like the cave was dark with only small torches on the walled to give any light at all. And like the last dream it seemed so familiar to her but she didn't know why.
She hated this, being alone in the dark. Calling out but to have nobody answer her. Eventually she started to remember and become conscious of her dreaming. She began to become aware that she was dreaming when she was dreaming and just kept telling herself that it was the same as the night before and the night before that and that she would soon wake up with no harm done.
But then everything changed voices started speaking to her inside of the dreams now. Whispering to her, but there were so many and they were all muffled, she couldn't understand what they were saying to her. But it began to scare her. She'd scream and cry out to them to stop and leave her alone to shut up. But they just became louder and louder until they sounded like a hissing sound, a loud hissing sound which was piercing to her ears. It brought her to her knees screaming and begging as blood streamed down the side of her face from her ears. That was when she would wake up, covered in sweat with tears streaming down her face.
Her train of thought came to a stop there. She snorted at the thought of herself crying like that over a dream of all things. Dreams were nothing, they weren't physical and they couldn't harm you so why was she so frightened of them. She shook the whole concept off. Not wanting to think about it any longer.
She turned off the water and getting out wrapped a white fluffy towel around her body. She walked over to the sink and whipped the condensation from the mirror. Looking at herself for a moment she sneered, as though she hated the person staring back at her then went back into her room taking a second towel with her.
After drying herself off she put on her usual black under wear and went to her wardrobe to try and find something to wear. Which really wasn't too hard. Nearly everything in her wardrobe was red and black, nearly every style of clothing you could find but all in red and black.
As she was doing this Kai walked in without knocking or anything.
" Rika you've been ." he stopped upon seeing her standing there with barely anything on as she pulled out a black pair of wide bottom pants. She didn't seem bothered with his intrusion as she continued pulling clothes out and dropping them to the floor. But brought her attention up to him when he remained quiet for so long and didn't finish his sentence.
She looked at him questioningly. He stood almost wide-eyed then turned away to hide his blush from her. His back was now facing her. She pouted and placed her hands on her hips.
" Hey, it's not that bad all the important parts are covered" she said angrily
" Yeah, but I just don't think it's proper for me to be." He stopped as she walked up beside him.
" Just think of it as a bathing suit, a very small bathing suit" she admitted while looking down at it " But a bathing suit none the less. Ah come on Kai, are you blushing" she teased
" No!" he snapped
" Then why wont you let me see your face," she said walking around to face him only to have him turn away from her.
" I just don't want to have to."
" See me, like this. Ha, yeah right Kai. We both know your no such gentleman, why don't you look me in the face and tell me you don't want to look!" she teased trying to face him once again but to no avail.
" See, my point" she walked away from him and went back to dressing behind his back.
He sighed with relief as she left him alone. But then something caught his eye. Out of the corner of his eye he could see a mirror on his right side, he could see her in it getting dressed. He half grinned then scolded himself. 'Stop it your not a pervert!' he told himself while looking away ' Are you sure?' came another voice as he looked back towards the mirror. But she was gone.
Then she popped up in front of him, fully dress in the black wide bottom pants and a red halter neck top.
" Well what do you think?" she asked stepping back to give him a better look.
He looked her over, saying nothing. It certainly did show off a lot of her pale milky skin, not that he minded.
She began to get irritated with the silence. " Hello, Kai?" she said waving a hand in front of his face.
" Huh?" he said no longer staring at her slender covers.
" Huh?" she said back in a very ' duh ' like voice. " Is that all, ' Huh?'" she shook her head and let him, crossing the room the dresser she quickly took on the task of fixing her hair. Kai watched her as she worked, saying nothing until he noticed her bandages. The blood had started to seep through the wet material. She noticed why he was staring.
" Oh yeah, " she looked down at her hands. " Ah, could you?" she asked shyly" holding her hands out to show what she meant.
He just nodded plainly and went into the bathroom to retrieve what he'd left there that morning after bandaging her hands the first time. After he came back out her sat on the end of the bed and gestured for her to come to him. She did so and while placing one of the towels on his lap he began unravelling the damp cloth from around her hands.
She watched him as he worked. He was being so gentle, which was something unexpected from Kai. She had been asleep the first time so she couldn't really say about then but he was definitely being gentle this time. Yet his face was so hard and cold and stern, with his blue triangles giving him that godlike essence. She always felt so drawn to him when he was like that, so powerful looking. She sighed and her face softened.
" What's wrongs with you?" asked Kai seeing her dazed expression as she drifted into a fantasy world.
" Huh?" she snapped out of it and shook it off, not wanting him to see her like that. He looked at her strangely for a moment.
" Ok we're done!" he said
" Uh, we are?" she asked surprised at how little time it took. She looked at the bandages checking them, then being satisfied smiled sweetly and just for the fun of it and to get on his nerves, she threw her arms around Kai.
" Thank you!" she chimed in a childish tone. Hoping that would get to him, she was right. He was shocked at first but eventually his usual attitude kicked in.
She grinned, her arms still wrapped around him, she could feel it welling up in him. Oh was he going to he angry. Standing up and pulling her up alone with him he quickly and forcefully pulled her off him and threw her on to the bed and pinned her down by her neck.
" What have I told you?" he growled
" I was only giving you a hug," she said in the same childish tone that only irritated him more.
" We're going into town to meet the guys in about a half an hour, if you even think about repeating what you just did in front of any one I swear . ."
" Awe your no fun!" she pouted, yet again using that voice. Then she grinned " But I do like your position!" she said
Kai was confused at first but then realised he was lying on top of her. It was just to restrain her from trying to move of course and to put some pressure on her just to emphasise that he meant his threat but it didn't look that way. He blushed deeply unable to control it at all or hide it this time"
She smirked and chuckled " But, it's not for today" she said throwing him off of her and on to the bed beside her. She rolled over and sitting up slightly leaned on his chest and brought her face down to his. " We've got to meet the guys in a half an hour we'll have to play some other time Kai!" she said whining sarcastically then got off of him. " But for now you'll just have to hold it in" she smirked again at the clueless look on his face.
Sitting up he said nothing. He felt so embarrassed and ashamed slightly at the same time. He watched in silence as she pulled on her gloves and then a black shirt left open over the halter neck. It covered most of what the halter neck did not, much to Kai's disappointment.
She turned to him as she headed towards the door. "Well aren't you coming?"
Pulling himself together he got up and walked past her with a grunted. She just smiled at him as he did this and then followed him out.
