I don't own any of these characters except Shanna of course.
And I just want to tell you all that since my last chapter, Kai is mad at
me. We got into a fight while talking to my friend Sarah and now we're not
talking to each other. It was actually a stupid arguement but then again,
all of my arguements are stupid.
Kai mutters something about how that's because Kim is stupid.
See! He's being mean.
Anyways...on to the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai stood at the edge of the forest, his back pressed against an enormous oak tree. He watched his team practice. Rei, the black-haired, golden eyed boy, was deep in concentration as he tried to think of a way to defeat Tyson, the blue haired boy, who was addicted to food. The only reason Tyson was fighting at all was because Kai had said that someone had to win ten times in a row before they could eat. Tyson was obviously trying to speed up the matter. Of course, all he was doing was annoying Rei. "It's not wise to allow yourself to get out of practice. Though you ensure your team is always training I have yet to see you do so." Kai jumped slighed Oh great. Just when I thought I was safe. Don't sneak up on a person like that. Shanna smiled as she jumped down from the tree branch. Though Kai was slightly taller, the girl seemed to match him inch for inch. She punched him kiddingly in the shoulder and when he stiffened she laughed. "Loosen up a little Kai." Kai had to hold back a smile. "I will, when my team and I are the best we can be." "Yah well, if you're aiming for that I wouldn't hold my breath. Your standards for being the best are impossible to get to." "Why do you say that?" "Because I know you." "Really?" "Kai, please. I know you much better than you give me credit for." Shanna winked. Kai put on his poker face, making her sigh. "I will get you talk to me one of these days Kai Hiwatari." Kai sighed himself and watched her stomp off. Boy was that close. I swear that girl gets under my skin. One of these days I'm going to break and give in. Hopefully not until I'm too old to care but still. Rei came over and interupted his thoughts. "Tyson won." Kai laughed and grinned. "Did he now?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ew! Tyson! Use a fork!" Shanna exclaimed as she came in the dining room, carrying Kai's meal as well as her own. Tyson muttered something about how it was faster without the fork but picked it up and used it to shovel the food into his mouth. "Thank you." Kai said when Shanna placed the plate in front of him. "No problem." Shanna said, and flashed him a smile. Damn it! I swear. She is the most annoying person I have ever met. His conscience joined in. Which is why you want her. "How is your training coming?" Max asked Shanna. That brought Kai back. Since when did Max care about what Shanna did? "Mediation is fine, target practice is great. Kai said he might battle me once in a while to keep my senses keen but I'm getting better." Kai looked up, shocked but then went back to pushing his food around on his plate. Finally he stood up. "I'm going for a walk." "I'm coming." Shanna said and got up too. Kai walked out of the room. Shanna winked at the people still sitting before following. Tyson was the only one was remained unaffected by all of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shanna and Kai walked in silence for most of the way through the woods. Kai had given up long ago to meet Shanna's eyes. Shanna had given up trying and began to look around her at the scenery. They passed a path and Shanna stared down it. Unnaturally pulled to it. She spied a small animal laying on the path and gripped Kai's arm to show him what she had seen. Then, without waiting for Kai, she ripped down the path and knelt down to examine it. She saw it had a huge wound in its left, fore paw and she quickly tore her scarf off of her neck and wrapped it around the poor creature's leg. Kai came up behind her, and watched with pride as she attended the small red fox. Why do I care if she can take care of this creature or not? Of course the answer came to him immediately Because I care about her. He admited to himself. Kai didn't know why but the little act of taking care of this creature made a rush of pride flow through him. His heart felt full as he watched her scoop up the animal in her arms and turn to him. "We need to put him in a safe spot or something may come and attack it again." Shanna said and walked over to a hollow log. She placed the fox in it and blocked one of the entrances while camoflauging the other. "You-" Kai stopped and waved Shanna off. "Well, if you don't want to tell me your thoughts I think I'll tell you some of mine." Shanna paused and climbed up a tree to sit. "I think you need to loosen up, open up. Ir's obvious you don't want to but I saw the way you looked at that fox. I think you really do care about certain things." Oh yes. I care about certain things, but it wasn't the fox. Kai scowled and turned away from her. "Was not." "Then what were you thinking about?" "Nothing." Kai said and walked off, he needed to go and cool himself off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai walked through the middle of the town after he had finished his cooling off walk. He really did wish that he had stayed with Shanna. He wouldn't have minded staying with Shanna and having fun but he didn't have time to. "Kai!" Kai's ex called out to him. "What?" "I think I'm going to have a baby." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
awwwww and just when it starts getting good huh byebye for now.
