Chapter 8: To Fight...Or Not To Fight!
Jade sat on the end of the chair, as she continued to glare at the wall with complete anger. She had her arms crossed over in front of her chest, and her fingers were gentling tapping on the small coffee table beside her. Everything rushed through her mind over and over again; especially the fight that Kai and her had just encountered. Her eyes were narrowed in petulance, as she shook her head back and forth. 'I'm so going to kill him!' thought Jade, 'Kyle won't know what hit him..once I get through with him!' Thanks to him she was now locked in a bedroom with the obnoxious Kai. She groaned in frustration. Sadly, she had grown annoyed at her own endless tapping and decided to retire her fingers. She had no idea what to do. 'Why did I get stuck in the bedroom!' Jade continued to think to herself, because she didn't want Kai to hear her complaining. If he heard how much this bugged her, she'd never hear the end of it once they got out...if they get out! Jade sighed, and focused her gaze up at the small clock. It was ticking away with delight.
"Ok...it's eleven o'clock." Replied Jade, finally speaking out in a soft voice. The minute hand seemed to be moving incredibly slow, as if it was mocking her. She closed her crystal blue eyes, as she felt her appetite growing on her. She hadn't eaten at all this morning, and it had finally caught up with her...she needed food. 'No problem,' thought Jade, as she raised her body up from her seated position. 'There's a kitchen in here!' She slowly began to walk towards the kitchen, before realizing something...Kai was in there! She gently pushed open the door which separated the two areas, and froze. Kai was standing only inches away from her, looking unpleasant...as usual. He was leaning casually against the endless row of cupboards. His right foot was propped up against one of the brown cabinets, and he had his arms crossed in the usual manner. His eyes were closed and he kept them that way, as he heard the door close gently behind Jade. He cocked one of his eyebrows, and gently tilted his head downwards.
"What are you doing in here!?"
Kai shot out, as Jade could hear the sound of repugnance in his voice. Jade chose to ignore all of Kai's speaking, as she quickly headed for the refrigerator. All she needed to do was a grab a couple of items, and get out of there...but, it was harder then it looked. She felt completely irritated.just by the presence of Kai.
"Do you mind!" Jade replied with annoyance in her voice. "I'd like you to leave!"
Kai finally took the effort to open his eyes, as they reflected fiery red flames. Jade looked innocently over her right shoulder, and opened the fridge effortlessly. She instantly caught the anger in Kai's eyes, finding it hard to miss.
"You want me to leave!?" Kai could feel his anger rising, "we agreed that I'd stay in the kitchen...and you'd stay in the bedroom!"
Jade rolled her eyes,
"I know we agreed...but, I got hungry!"
"Well, maybe you should've thought of that...before declaring that the bedroom was your space!"
Jade could feel the hatred in the room, and shook her head. There was no way that she was going to start another little argument with Kai, she only came in here for some food. She focused her attention back on the open fridge, and began to scan it with her eyes.
"Nope!"
"I don't think so..."
"That's just disgusting!"
Kai glared at Jade, as he felt his eyebrow give a slight twitch in annoyance.
"Would you please...SHUT-UP!"
Jade felt every inch of the coldness that came out of that last sentence. Kai was really getting annoyed with her now, and Jade figured that she ought to make this quick. She scanned over the last shelf, as her eye suddenly twinkled with delight. Jade hardly became excited, but she was excited now...and Kai was rather curious about what she had found. She threw her arms into the fridge,
"Apple pie!"
Jade turned around looking rather pleased, as she held a fresh apple pie in the palm of her hands. Kai rolled his eyes, this is what she was so happy about. He could hardly believe how pathetic she was... 'just like Tyson!' Although, for some strange reason he felt kind of attracted to her. He had no idea why he was suddenly feeling this way, as his head began spinning in all sorts of directions. He tried to release these thoughts from his head, but found himself constantly gazing into her crystal blue eyes. Jade had noticed Kai's sudden change in attitude, realizing that he hadn't made a crude remark to her yet. She tilted her head and looked at him with curiosity.
"Are you ok?"
Kai quickly turned his head and closed his eyes, realizing that Jade had noticed his strange behavior. Jade shrugged, and began cutting into the pie. She didn't know what was up with Kai, and she took it upon herself to not worry about it. As Jade began making a mess on the counter, she decided that it would be a lot easier to take the entire pie with her. She gripped it tightly in her hands, as she threw the knife into the sink.
"You do realize...that you have to pay for that!" Kai spoke up, causing Jade to stop dead in her tracks.
"I knew that!" Jade replied, with a hint of mischievous. "But...I think that it's going to 'conveniently' end up on Kyle and Tyson's tab!"
Kai couldn't help but smile, although it came out as a smirk. That's something that he would've done. Jade gave a small smirk herself, as she began to walk back towards the bedroom. Jade was too busy staring at the pie in her hands, that she hadn't realized where she was going. She suddenly caught her foot on the edge of the table, causing her to trip forwards. Kai could picture the whole disaster scene coming, as he instinctively stretched out his arms. He managed to catch Jade in his grip, as they both tumbled heavily onto the floor...along with the pie. Kai was lying completely flat on his back, and found that his arms were wrapped loosely around Jade's waist. She was sprawled on top of him, as she groaned in frustration. The pie was a mess as it landed abruptly on the floor, causing crumbs to fly everywhere. It was definitely a disaster!
"Ohhhh...I ruined the pie!"
Jade yelled, choosing to ignore the fact that she was now laying on top of Kai. She didn't want to look at Kai, knowing all to well that some rude comment would escape from his lips. After a minute of silence, Jade realized that he wasn't speaking...at all. She finally got enough courage to look down at his face, noticing that his eyes were closed.
"You are such a klutz!"
Kai's voice rang out cold and harsh, as Jade absorbed it instantly. She knew that that was coming, and decided that now would be a good time to move away from him. She managed to prop her hands up onto the floor and began to raise her body. To her surprise she hadn't moved at all, and realized that Kai's arms were still wrapped around her waist.
Alexis and Rei finally managed to make their way down to the lobby, and noticed that everyone had left. Alexis scanned her eyes around the room,
"where is everyone?!"
Rei stood looking around, just as clueless as Alexis. A couple of minutes ago the entire group was standing here...and now, suddenly they were gone. Alexis groaned, as she slumped into one of the lobby chairs. She was flailed out on the chair, causing Rei to laugh silently at her.
"It's no big deal," Rei replied taking seat as well. "They probably just got tired of waiting around for us!"
"But they left us!" Alexis complained.
Rei shrugged, and couldn't help but smile. Alexis was so adorable when she was complaining. Suddenly they heard some familiar voices ringing out from behind them. Alexis quickly spun around, knowing exactly who it was.
"Kyle!" Alexis nearly screamed, as she sprang up from the chair.
Kyle and Tyson heard Alexis' yell, as they both casually walked over to where Rei and her were sitting. Tyson immediately plopped down beside Rei, as he sported a huge smile.
"Hey Rei ol' buddy...what are you 2 up to???" Tyson nudged Rei in the side, as Rei casually shoved him away.
"Actually, we were looking for you guys!" Rei replied looking over at Kyle.
Kyle swallowed hard, and began running his fingers through his hair nervously. He looked at Tyson, as he tried to figure out what to say.
"What do you mean you were looking for...us?"
Alexis looked up at Kyle oddly, as she watched him fidget nervously with his fingers. She knew that something was up...she could always see right through Kyle.
"Well, we weren't looking for you two in particular...we were just wondering where the whole gang was!" replied Rei, trying to clear things up.
"Oh...the WHOLE gang!" Kyle answered sheepishly. "Well, they all went to eat...and Tyson and I volunteered to wait for you two!"
"WHAT!...They never told me that they were going to eat!!!"
Tyson yelled at the top of his lungs, as he began to get panicky. He sprang up from where he was sitting, but was suddenly interrupted when Kyle kicked him in the leg.
"Shut-up Tyson..." mumbled Kyle, as he nodded his head towards Alexis and Rei.
"Oh...yeah, that's right!" Tyson replied, finally understanding their predicament. "A.J., Max, Kenny, and Jessica went to go save us a booth at the restaurant."
Kyle rolled his eyes at Tyson's stupidity, as Rei looked at them oddly.
"Where's Kai and Jade?"
Tyson and Kyle couldn't control themselves any longer, as they burst out laughing. Alexis eyed them suspiciously,
"alright Kyle...where's Jade!?"
"How should I know..." Kyle replied, as he continued to laugh. He knew that they were finally caught, but it was too funny.
"Ok Kyle...I'll give you to the count of 3." Alexis stated, "if you don't tell me where Jade is...then I'll make sure that you're kicked off the team!"
Immediately Kyle stopped laughing, and looked directly at Alexis.
"You can't do that!"
"Wanna make a bet!" Alexis replied threateningly.
Tyson looked at Kyle, and shook his head desperately. If Alexis found Jade, then she would find Kai.and then, he would be dead. Kyle contemplated the thought in his head, then gave a huge sigh. There was no way that he was going to risk his spot on the 'Murdablade' team.
"She's locked in room 105."
Tyson nearly fell over, as he heard the reply slip out of Kyle's mouth. Alexis rolled her eyes at Kyle's stupidity...when would he learn.
"Alright...we know where Jade is...but where's Kai?" Rei asked, as he stood up from where he was sitting. He could see the worry grow on Tyson's face, and immediately knew what had happened to Kai. Alexis knew too, as she quickly ran off towards the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade was in complete confusion, as she tried to make sense out of this situation. She looked back down at Kai and attempted to say something, when he suddenly opened his eyes. Jade expected some evil glare, but was surprised when she hadn't received one. Kai was looking at her, but with no expression on his face. He looked as if he was contemplating something. Jade eyed him nervously,
"Kai...I'm really sorry."
She had no idea what to say to him, but found that this was the only thing that would escape her mouth. Kai continued to stare up at Jade, as he felt himself being drawn closer to her. 'Stop Kai, you can't do this!' his thoughts shot out at him, as they beat endlessly against his brain. 'Love is a weakness...Jade is a weakness...you can't afford to be weak...you have to be strong!' Kai tried to rewind the 'strong' part in his mind, but it was no use...his heart was completely ignoring it. Kai tightened his grip around Jade's waist, as he pulled her closer to him...causing their lips to meet. Jade felt a huge shiver run down her spine, as the shock from the kiss moved throughout her body. Kai could feel Jade's lips tremble as he gently caressed them with his own, trying to calm her down. A million thoughts raced through Kai's mind, and he knew that he should let go of her...but there was that hesitation. He knew that if he let her go now, they would probably never be like this again. 'Jade's a weakness' thought Kai again, 'let her go!'
"Jade!?"
Immediately Jade released herself from Kai's embrace, and sprang up on both feet. Kai gave a heavy sigh, and stood up after her...seconds before Alexis burst into the room. Kyle and Tyson were also there, but were peeking around the corner...scared of the fury that might've been released on them. Alexis looked Jade up and down, then threw her arms around Jade's neck.
"Are you ok!?"
Jade blinked a couple times,
"yeah...I'm fine..."
Kai looked over at Jade, then quickly made his way towards the door. Tyson saw him coming, as he managed to position himself behind Kyle...using him like a shield. He knew that Kai wouldn't take this little prank too lightly. Kai quickly brushed past Kyle, not even acknowledging Tyson.
"Whew...that was a close one!" Tyson replied, as he sighed with relief.
"Don't think I didn't see you there Tyson...cause I did!" Kai replied curtly, as he stopped dead in his tracks. "And if I were you...I'd keep my eyes open!"
With that, Kai quickly exited the room. Tyson swallowed hard, as his face turned pale.
"You are so dead!" Kyle replied, as he couldn't help but laugh.
"So are you!"
Kyle's eyes shot open in horror, as he heard the all to familiar voice ring out from behind him. He slowly turned around, and caught a glimpse of Jade...who was now standing menacingly with her arms crossed. Kyle gulped, as he watched Jade's crystal blue eyes turn to dark navy. Alexis crossed her arms too, as a huge grin stretched across her face.
"I think it's safe to say...that both of you guys are dead!"
Kyle and Tyson took this as a perfect time to escape, as they both dashed towards the door.
