To mushra/kai girl: Oops. I forgot to describe the dress, didn't I? Oh well. It had a tight collar decorated with old plastic beads, big poofy sleeves, and several layers of ugly yellowing petticoats with a beaded skirt on top. By the way, thanks for reviewing!To blucherry: Fine, Rei's yours, but not in my fanfic. *grins* Anyway, thanks again!
To Miekkie: More Kai/Tasha on the way! ^_- Thanks again!

A/N: I feel so appreciated! ^____^
Tasha: *mumbling* Oh great. It's all going to your head.

Tasha: -__-;;; *sweatdrop*
Chapter 5: Unexpected Arrivals
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move."-
Douglas Adams"Come on! You know you want to!" Tasha pleaded with Kai who simply stood his ground, glowering at the woman. "Why won't you go with me? It'll be fun!"
'Give it up. Mr. Sourpuss over here isn't going to some stupid carnival with you,' Palara remarked.
Tasha stuck her tongue out at the bitbeast and tugged on Kai's arm. "Everyone's going! The White Tigers are secretly meeting all of us there as a surprise!" Tasha whined. She frowned and after a moment changed her strategy. She looked at Kai, her eyes bigger and bluer than ever. "Please?" she inquired, her voice soft.
Kai squirmed under her 'great female powers of persuasion' before finally giving in. "Fine."
Tasha let out a happy chuckle and winked at Pal who smirked. 'You have him wrapped around your finger,' Palara muttered to Tasha.
Kai began to walk away but paused and said, "I heard that, Palara."
Palara grinned sheepishly but didn't respond, trotting alongside her master as she followed Kai.
************************************************************************
As they reached the fair grounds, the smell of hot dogs and the sound of rambunctious children playing noisy games met them. Tasha smiled and dragged Kai over to the other Bladebreakers. Kai protested to being hauled around but he silenced as soon as they were within hearing range of the others.
"Here we are, a bunch of adults, hanging out at a carnival. This is rather bizarre," Kenny noted, his baldhead shinning in the ray of lights coming from the colorful Ferris wheel. "Why are we here?"
"It's a secret," Tasha said coming towards them, Kai and Palara behind her.
"What kind?" Tyson questioned his stomach growling.
"Not the food kind, but just as good," Tasha replied. She peered around looking for any sign of the 'secret.' She soon spotted a flash of pink hair and she chuckled softly. "Here comes the surprise now," she announced.
The Bladebreakers all looked in the direction she was to see four figures of varying sizes coming towards them. A young woman with bright pink locks that reached her waist and golden eyes was in the lead. She waved to them and ran up to Rei. She leaned upward and gave Rei a kiss on the cheek before asking, "Miss us?"
Behind her was a man with longish jet-black hair and bushy eyebrows. "Long time no see, ay, Rei?" he inquired grinning, which showed he had rather pointy canine teeth.
The last two figures were a great contrast to each other. Both were men but one was massive in size with dark tresses while the other was short with green hair.
"Mariah? Lee? Gary? Kevin? What are you guys doing here?" Rei asked.
"We were in the neighborhood and we thought we'd visit the Bladebreakers. Tasha gave us a place to surprise you, so here we are," Mariah explained.
All eyes went to Tasha who flicked her bang-like piece of hair out of her cerulean eyes. "It was Mariah's idea, not mine," she said.
Tyson's stomach let out a groan again and they all laughed.
"Whose up for some cotton candy?" Lee asked.
They laughed and rushed to the nearest food stand. It was like old times with two exceptions. Tasha and Palara.
************************************************************************
Kai smirked. His girlfriend-or, well, he supposed she was anyway-was obviously as sugar-high as Max seemed to always be. He wasn't sure how many quantities of blueberry cotton candy she had consumed, but he knew it had been quite a large amount. She was practically bouncing off the car doors while Palara looked on, an expression between embarrassment and amusement crossing her face.
Their time at the fair had been fun he admitted. The way Tasha stayed ever near him had obviously raised some suspicion from Mariah with the others noticing it every once and awhile. As for Mariah herself, it was palpable that she was smitten with Rei, who seemed quite the same with her.
They all had agreed to go to the movies together the following day. Kai knew Tasha would haul them there either way so he consented peacefully. Kai nearly laughed aloud at how strange it was that he would do anything for Tasha. Whether it was her large azure eyes or just the fact she was a young woman, he couldn't bring himself to say no to her very often. She had, after all, been love-struck with him for the past nine years and his feelings were relatively new and perplexing to him.
Kai wondered what would happen if he were to see Felicity Carmichael again. He had no doubt that now that Tasha had poured her heart out to him, if that ever were to happen Tasha would stick by him like so much glue. Unbeknownst to him, he was about to see the person he was thinking about.
Kai's thoughts were interrupted by Tasha saying, "I'll buy the popcorn and drinks tomorrow."
"Fine," Kai answered nodding.
A few moments later, Tasha's lip jutted out meaning she was peeved by something. Kai could see it out of the corner of his eyes and he asked laughingly, "What did I do this time?"
"Nothing, its just I saw someone just now, that I don't particularly like," Tasha answered impassively.
"Who?"
"Felicity Carmichael."
Kai almost hit the brake but instead he turned slightly to her and stammered, "W-What?!"
"You heard me. The famous daughter of a rich merchant is in Tokyo," Tasha replied with a layer of disgust in her voice.
Sure enough as Kai glanced out the backseat window, there was Felicity Carmichael, her dark curls flowing down her back and her pale blue eyes glittering in radiance coming off the streetlight.
Kai swore internally. He didn't hesitate to notice the cold fury hidden in Tasha's eyes. He accelerated and drove to Tasha's apartment complex. Tasha hopped out, her body rigid. He grabbed her wrist before she deserted him without a word. She turned to him, her eyes softening.
"Promise me you won't go looking for her," Kai insisted.
"Why would I do that?!" Tasha snapped.
"Because I know you."
Tasha smirked coldly and yanked her wrist out of Kai's grasp.
"Tasha."
Tasha ignored him bustling into the brick building.
************************************************************************
'Tasha, don't!'
'I didn't promise him, did I?"
'That's not the point!'
'I'm not going to talk to her, Pal. I'm just going to see what she's up to.' And with that said, Tasha stepped outside the apartment building, Palara reluctantly following her.
