AD: Ok peoples, sadly I only got four reviews on the last chapter.
*pouts* AND two of them were new reviewers! Now aren't you old reviewers (- Purra & Angel Slayer) ashamed of yourselves?
:P I'm just messing with you, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS, and here's your christmas present (besides me updating in three days consecutively) A new chapter, and it has more about Kai's past!)
Now I think I'll got to reviewers, and then the chapter cause I still have to wrap Kai, Raven, Irvine, Li, Heero and whoever elses Christmas presents. *sighs* They get home today.
Kanata-Miyu Cherryblossoms: We both know that I'm not a proffesional writer, if I were I'd be writing things of signifigance and selling them to earn moula. I'm just a fourteen year old girl with some free time on her hands. And I'm going to continue either until I can't write anymore, or I don't get any more reviews.
bloody hell: I updated, and puppy dog eyes don't work on me in real life, you think their going to work in a review? Nevertheless, I am a very kind person and have updated.
Purra: Good, you flatted my poor hypnotisey thingey, it didn't stand a chance against you! No, you didn't "break" it, you just busted it up a little. Almost? Ian shut up for once! And I updated so you people can't kill me!!!!
Angel Slayer: I am sooo very sorry, your review didn't come up until after I had posted the chapter so I couldn't reply. I'm very sorry if you were offended in any way, it won't happen again. (I hope)
This chapter is dedicated to....*dum dum dum* *is collecting all of the reviews that she printed out to read and reply to* OT puff for giving me a hypnotisey thing (which Purra still tried to break :P) and for reviewing heaps!
Chapter Eight : The Plot Thickens
Kai approached the house that they staying at in the village. He could hear Serena running to catch up to him. But ignored it, pushing further until she caught her arm.
"Kai please!" she whimpered, her voice pleading him, her eyes confused as he turned to look into them.
Regretting the decision he was about to make already he nodded, "But not here."
She replied with a slight smile before turning and pulling him back into the woods with her.
When they were in far enough he stopped and refused to let her pull him further.
She turned around, excitement on her face. "So you do like me, oh I was so worried that-" she cut of abruptly at the look on his face.
"This doesn't mean that I like you, it doesn't mean that I want to be your friend and it most definitely doesn't mean that I want to be your boyfriend, got it?" he said harshly, eyes flashing with what she guessed as anger, annoyance and something that couldn't be described.
Stepped backwards, shock over ran her, but she refused to let it get the better of her, her happy nature wouldn't allow it.
Calming himself slightly he took the time to at least try to explain. "Look, you and I come from different backgrounds, we're different people, you're always happy and cheerful, and I'm always what I must be, what I've been trained to be." he explained, hating himself for feeling the need to explain himself to this weak girl.
"That doesn't mean that we can't be together Kai." Serena replied reasonably, "It just means that we'd need to learn to understand the other person."
He shook his head. "No, it doesn't, it means that we would end up hating each other, I'm something from the dark, and you're something from the light, the two don't mix." he said finally expressing some of the thoughts that had constantly been going through his mind since they had first kissed, since he had first fell in love with her.
She studied him curiously. "Do you love?"
"What is love?" he replied searching her eyes helplessly.
"You must know what love is Kai, even it's only a brotherly sort of love, or a love for your parents." she said more confused than ever at the many thoughts running throughout her mind.
"What parents?" he practically hissed. "Like I said I was raised in a different way to you Serena, I come from a different world."
She looked at him, even more shocked than before, as what he had just said began to sink in.
"You never knew your parents?" she questioned hesitantly.
"I knew them." he replied indifferently, "I saw them once a year at the supposed family gathering for Christmas."
He watched his words sink in on her face, her whole manner had changed, and once again he wished that he had remained quiet. He didn't want or need pity, and after this she was sure to pity him, she would not be able to keep such a thing a secret for long, it would show in her manner, the way she acted around him, and what she said to him.
Serena didn't try to follow him this time, she just let him walk away, let him leave her to think over what he had told her.
How could she have been so ignorant? How could any of them? Even Callie and Ray, the two whom she thought were the most observant of the group had never even come close to imagining something such as this. They had all assumed that he was just unhappy living with his grandfather instead of his parents and that he preferred to keep his opinions and emotions to himself.
They were only half right. She observed as she sat on the ground, resting against another tree, this one significantly smaller than the one she and Kai had been in before, but still as comfortable.
He doesn't want pity. She realised suddenly. That's why he keeps to himself, acts like a jerk all the time, he doesn't want the pity of others.
With this startling discovery in mind she wondered how she could next approach the subject of winning him back. She was resolved to not let anything from what he had said this evening show on her features, and was decided that she would not comment to anyone on it.
When that was completed she pushed all that she had learnt into the back of her mind, pulling out one aspect at a time to work on, one piece of the puzzle.
Pushing back other thoughts, she soon connected a lot of what he had said, done and implied in the past. The pieces began to fit together, forming and even harder puzzle for Serena to solve, but she was determined to do so.
She didn't notice the time pass, or the yells from Callie and Amille calling back to the others to tell them that they had found her. She noticed Callie waving her hand in front of her face though, concern etched on the other girls.
Looking up innocently unaware of what was wrong she asked, "You look horrible Callie, what's wrong?"
Callie had merely glared at her before leaning over suddenly and enveloping her in a huge hug, tears running down her face and dripping on the shoulder of the confused girl that she was hugging.
She looked up to the others who were approaching, Kai was with them, a frown on his forehead that was somehow different to the others he had worn in the past. This one was of concern.
"Has someone found her already, I'm hungry." Tyson complained coming up behind the others, looking like he was about to die of starvation.
"Who's missing?" Serena asked, the result of the night and morning awake having weighed on her and giving her an innocent unknowing perspective on it all.
"The tournaments going to begin in twenty minutes, we need to hurry up!" Kenny said urgently when Callie had looked at her in surprise for her question and hugged her even harder, laughing slightly.
"Come on, we need to go to the tournament!" Celia said echoing Kenny's concern.
"Go on, we'll catch up after." Kai replied turning to them, "If we're late you'll still have enough players."
Tyson looked at him confused, Max amused and the girls just ignored it for now, pushing along the boys.
"What happened to you?" Callie asked after they watched the others walk away, and Kai had helped her to get Serena standing.
"Me?" Serena asked confused, she then brightened slightly. "I was reading a new mystery story and I was piecing all of the clues together and I guess I just lost track of time." she laughed.
Callie looked at her in amazement before shaking her head and leading them to the food store.
Kai looked at her incrediously, not only had she managed to keep what he had told her last night a secret, but she wasn't acting any different around him than he usual regard.
Callie sat them down at a table and told Kai to look after her while she went and ordered some food and then left.
Serena turned to him and smiled. "I hope I didn't scare you guys to much." she commented.
"You scared the others more than you did me." he replied.
"Sure." she teased. "Big strong tough Kai, never gets upset about anything."
He glared at her and she smiled back. Then standing she walked to him and bent down slightly whispering in his ear.
"You know, just because you had a hard upbringing doesn't mean I'm going to give up on trying to get your attention Kai."
And then she left the restaraunt, leaving behind a for once confused Kai, and a surprised Callie who had just returned with their food.

AD: Ok, well as promised I updated today, and woohoo! It's christmas eve. Or at least it is where I live, it's probably not in america still, but oh well.
*sighs* The boys are coming home in an hour, they've finished their time at obedience school and now they're coming in time for Christmas. It'll be nice to have them behaving for Christmas though I guess.
Till next time people, have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and don't forget to review, I won't use the hypnotidey thing today because I don't know how many beatings it can take from Purra attacking it. Anyway, have fun for Christmas!
