Chapter 3- You Sure This is Kai?
"So you honestly do think you can get Vash, don't you, Ryu?" her father asked. "And what makes you think I can't, Masaru?" she growled. "You know there are security cameras and body guards all over the house! There is no possible way for you to get in!" her father sneered. "Just watch us!" Enrique, Johnny, and Ryu slammed into the house and began running around the house looking for Vash. "Where is the guy?" Johnny asked, panting as they made a turn down the hall. "He should be under the house somewhere! There are too many rooms to look for down there though!" Ryu rreplied. "I just hope the others got in the lower level of your house before we did!" Enrique replied.
"So this is the room she was talking about, eh?" Tyson asked, looking around. It was the training room where Vash and his father happened to be on that fateful night. "Be quiet for a second and listen," said Kai. They heard laughing and crying in a distant room. "You think that's Vash?" Rei asked him. "Maybe; let's go check it out!" "AHHHH!!!" The boys turned around only to see Ryu and the crew running for dear life away from the security guards. "What the hell did you guys do?!" Kai asked running for dear life as well. "We busted in the house and knocked my dad down! Pretty cool don't you think?!" Ryu replied. "Cool my ass! We're getting' chased down by a bunch of bulky guards and that's the only thing you can say?!" Tyson screamed. "TURN!"
"Where did those punks go?" one of the guards asked. "I think they went down that hall over there. Probably went to hide in Ryu's room!" After the guards left, they came out behind the tapestry. "Vash and I discovered this hiding place when we were exploring the house a couple of months ago and no one knows about it. Come on, I know where they're keeping Vash but don't make a sound, okay?" she asked. "We heard someone crying down the hall over there, you think it's him?" Tyson asked. "Most likely…now come on! He might be really hurt!"
"Hey, we got some of those Blade Breaker runts and Ryu running across the house! Come and help us find them!" one of the guards radioed. The two guards looked at Vash sitting in the small cell. "You think he'll escape?" "Nah, he ain't got the guts to do it, especially after the treatment we've given him," the other one grinned. "Let's go already then!" They left Vash sitting there by himself while they went to look for the intruders. "Vash?" Ryu called out. He looked up sharply and saw her with five other guys who all seemed very familiar. "What are you doing here? Dad is gonna catch you!" he warned, jumping up. "We're here to get you out so calm down! Where are the keys?" Tyson unlocked the cell and Vash came running out, hugging his younger sister. "Vash, what did they do to you?" she asked looking at his dirty face. His spiky dark blue hair was now a mess and he had an X shaped scar on his cheek.
"It's not important right now. We have to get out before they find out that you guys are in here! Come on, I know a passage that'll lead us out of here," he replied. He looked at Kai who seemed to be holding on to Ryu's arm firmly as he lead them out of the building. "Ryu, how did you meet the Blade Breakers and the Majestics?" "They helped me when dad threw me out." "And who is getting your clothes out of the house?" "Kenny is. Plus he's gone to get some of your clothes too; I told him where your room is and we should meet outside of Max's shop. Mr. Tate already knew about this and said we can stay at his place as long as we need to," she explained. "Okay then?"
"Kenny, did you get the clothes?" Johnny asked. "Yeah but then I had to run out right when I came out of Vash's room because they found out that you took him and now they're looking for all of you!" Kenny shrieked. "I don't think they'll be able to find us anytime soon," Kai grinned. "What are you talking about?" Ryu asked, puzzled. "Oh I left a little note for them sayin that we're going to be leaving for Moscow so they should be preoccupied for a while." Everyone gave him a blank look and decided to get Vash cleaned up and fed.
"Vash, do you think dad killed mom?" Ryu asked out of the blue. "Why are you saying that?" "Because he acted kind of strange when mom died. It's like he knew something about it but doesn't want us to find out about it, ya know?" "I don't think so. If it was true he would've told me by now while he was keeping me locked up in that pin." "I don't think so. You know how dad can be sometimes," she replied. "Look I don't want you to worry too much. Just leave it to me and Kenny okay? You go on and have fun with Kai," he winked. She turned bright red at that comment and walked out of the room. "Vash, what did you say to her?" Rei asked. "Oh, just a little something about Kai, that's all," he chuckled. "I knew it! Those two do have something going on!" "What are you talking about?" "Just today when Max walked in to wake Jenny up, he saw those two sleeping in each other's arms! Last night, he followed her into te bedroom but wouldn't tell us why though."
"Ryu, what are you doing up right now? You should be in bed," Kai told her blankly. "Hey, can't a girl get something to drink?" "I don't know, can she?" he asked slyly. She gave him a funny look and walked to the fridge with a glass in her hand. "Wait a second," and he blocked the fridge door. "What?" she asked, slightly amused. "You have to pay before you go in," he grinned. "Kai, this is so unlike you! I didn't know you were like that!" she laughed. He only smiled. "Okay then Mr. Hiwatari, what's the price?" "You have to give me a date once we find out what exactly happened to your mother," he replied. "Hm, that is a hard bargain," she thought outloud. "Take it or leave it." "How about this then? Tomorrow we'll go to the movies since Vash and Kenny are gonna try to figure this out all day. Is that good enough for the great Kai Hiwatari?" she asked. "Works for me," and he moved out of the way. As she walked passed him, he sniffed her hair slightly and leaned on the counter. "Kai, what was that for?" she asked. "Nothing really. I got to go back to my room, night." "Wow, we've known each other for less than a week and he's already hitting on me," she mumbled.
"So how come you never told me you and the one and only Kai have something going on?" Vash asked, placing his arm on her shoulder. "Erm…" Ryu blushed ferociously at that. "It's…we're just playing around that's all!" she lied. Boy, she was not a good liar one bit. "You like him don't you? I knew it! You liked him since you first saw the guy at the World Championships!" "Vash, you gotta say it for the whole world to hear?" Ryu laughed. "But of course! I gotta let everyone know that MY LITTLE SISTER HAS A CRUSH ON KAI!" he shouted. "What?!" Tyson asked, running right into the scene. "Ryu has a lil crush on Kai!" Vash laughed. "Vash! Shut it!" Ryu pleaded, trying to cover her brother's mouth. "You have a crush on Kai?" Rei questioned out loud. "Yes…" she quietly mumbled while kicking Vash in the shin. "Holy crap! What did you do that for?!" Vash cried, gripping on to his leg. "That's for telling everyone I like Kai! I wanted to tell them myself but you had to blab it out for the whole world to hear!" "Ryu, it's only a crush." "But I didn't want you to tell everyone, you promised you wouldn't," she sighed. "Sorry, didn't think it'd be that much of a big deal to ya," he shrugged.
Ryu walked back to her room while all of the other guys were playing cards when she heard a grunt from Kai. "What are you doing here?" she asked curiously. "Nothing. Can't a guy just follow someone down the hallway?" he replied sarcastically. "Haha, I'm laughing soooo hard." "I can tell," he smirked walking towards her. "Um, you feeling okay Kai? You're not acting like yourself," Ryu nervously pointed out. "I'm not? Well you know I act strange," he simply replied, taking her into the room. "Kai, what are you doing?" Ryu asked. He shook his head and looked kind of phased. "I don't know…I'm sorry," and he walked out of the room. "Strange little fellow that he is," Ryu mumbled.

Sorry this wasn't exactly the best chapter but I got school startin in 2 weeks and I gotta get prepared! I forgot to mention that Kai's personality will change (as you can already see) throughout the chapters as he hangs out with Ryu more and more. Later days!
