[You'll never get in...]
[You're dumber than you look...]
[What a ridiculous wish...]
[Face it kid...there's no way you can get into Tokyo U...]
[You aren't the only one with dreams...we had dreams...we HAD dreams...] Voiced called as Kai stood outside, looking out at the sea.
"No...Those guys are wrong.... I can get in...." Kai said to himself, watching the sun set.
Chapter 4: Kai's Past
"Ah...nothing like a drink after a hot day right you guys?" Kitsune asked as she lay on the couch. Just then a suitcase was dropped in front of her. "What's that!" She asked in shock.
"Come on Kitsune...the week is almost up. If you haven't notice, 5 days have past and I have to go back and teach little kids while Keitaro goes off and teaches at Tokyo U...." Naru stared at her, already done packing. Shinobu walked in and was looking around the place.
"Yo, Shinobu, lost something?" Kitsune asked.
"Not something...I was wondering where Kai is..." She said to them, looking into rooms.
"If you are looking to Kai...he's on top of that cliff again..." Keitaro said, walking in. He pointed outside where Kai, sitting on a rock, was staring at the moon.
"You know, that boy's weird. Here he is a free trip to the beach and yet, he slumps there during the mornings and nights..." Kitsune said to them.
"Something is bothering him...and I'm going to figure out what it is!" Shinobu said, walking out the door and headed to the cliff that Kai was on.
"Shinobu...don't you think he should be alone..." Naru asked.
"Leave her be Naru. She's nearly 18 years old. Just let her do what she wants..." Keitaro said.
**
Kai let out a sigh as he stared at the moon.
"Kai! What are you doing out here so late?!" Shinobu called, walking towards him.
"Just looking at the moon...hey, thanks again for the new shoes." He said to her as she sat next to him.
"No problem, after all, I did lose your pervious ones...." She said. Kai turned to her and looked into her eyes.
"Give it up...I don't believe in love..." said Kai. Shinobu jumped up from her seat and was about to tackle Kai off the cliff.
"How come! I spent the entire week with you, trying to show you that love is a wonderful thing! Even for an orphan, you should...eep..." She covered her mouth. Kai looked at her and turned his head.
"I get it...so you found out huh? Well, how much do you know..." Kai asked her.
"Well...you're an orphan and your parents died when you were young. You are now living here with your aunt and uncle." Said Shinobu. Kai laughed.
"That's exactly what I wrote on my profile when I was applying for Tokyo U... Most of it is made up...." He said, closing his eyes. Again, Shinobu sat next to him.
"You mean you aren't an orphan?"
"Not exactly...if you want to listen to the truth, then I suggest you make yourself comfortable..." Kai told her, taking a deep breath.
"First off, my fore fathers never went to Tokyo U. Just to clear that up. But as my childhood goes, I am an orphan. But my parents never died...they abandoned me...." Kai said.
"Abandoned?"
"Yup, my no good parents sent me here, in Japan, and left me. About me living with my uncle and aunt...not true either....I was raised by a couple that found me."
"So you're living with them now?" Shinbou asked.
"No, they died in a car accident...somehow, I manage to survive. I was sent to a shelter. You know, where kids with no parents go. There, I got most of my education and friends. I lived there up to now..." Kai said to her.
"Wow, I didn't know your life was...well, like that..." Shinobu said to him.
"Like any other kid, I had dreams. For instance, I dreamed that someday, I can get out of the shelter and out to the open world. Or that I'll find my parents one day. But then, looking at my current position surrounded by people that had their dreams crushed...I thought that mine would be crushed also."
"How did you mange to get out from the shelter?" She asked.
"Who says they let me out? I broke out...knowing that there was no turning back if I did make it out...I remember those days there like I was yesterday..."
~Flash Back~
"Come on Kai, let's go play outside!" A kid called. Kai looked up to him and lowered it. He was reading a book off in the far end of the room.
"Kai, you spend too much time reading man. You're already the smartest person in our class. You need to relax a bit and have fun!" He said.
"Stan...reading is fun. Including books that matches your interest." Kai said to him.
"Man, I don't know about you...but I'm going. See you later!"
"Yeah...see you..." Kai told him, continuing to read.
"Hey Kai..." A voice called.
"Listen Stan... I told you, I want to read..." He said, lowering his book. But instead of seeing a guy, he saw a gal.
"O...hi Bell..." Kai said to her.
"Reading again? What book is it?" Bell asked.
"The subtle knife... Really good book you know..." Kai said. "Yes it is...you know, the lease you can do is read outside. It's a beautiful day today." Bell said to him. Kai looked at her for a minute.
"Fine...I guess..."
~End of Flash~
"Bell?" Shionbu asked.
"She was a girl at the shelter...about my age and has long brown hair. "She was one of my best friends there which I can talk freely with. Bell also was abandoned when she was young, so it was nice to talk to someone with the same experience."
"Was Bell your first..." Shinobu started but was cut off by Kai.
"Love? In many cases, yes. I was in love with her...." Kai said, blushing a bit.
"Did she know?"
"Yeah...she also was in love with me..." Shinobu's eyes widen.
"Then you two were a couple!"
"Nope...wrong again...we never had the chance of being a couple because she left before we were an item..." Kai said to her.
~Flash Back~
It was in the middle of the night. Kai was looking out his window, looking at the moon when someone touched his shoulder. He turned around and saw Bell standing behind him.
"Hi Bell...what are you up so late?" Kai asked her and she walked next to him.
"That's my question. Ok, I couldn't go to sleep....the new person a bed away from me is snoring like a hog...so how about you?" She asked.
"Just looking at the moon...for some odd reason it always brings me at ease..." Kai said to her as they both looked up at the moon.
"You know, I read that the moon is associated with hope, unconscious desires, and dreams. I always think that the moon is linked to dreams. Like I sometimes dream that I am a princess, finding her prince charming...or dream that I am somewhere other than here..." She trailed off.
"I sometimes dream that also. That I will get out of this hell hole and see the real world. I dream that I'll find my soul mate and live happily ever after." He said to her. Bell smiled.
"You know Kai...I know that you love me...it's written all over your face...and I just want you to know...I love you also..." She said to him.
"You know we can't do that...one day, one of us is going to leave here. I don't want to see you hurt if I'm the one that's going to leave before you do." He said. Bell knew what he was talking about. It hurts when someone you care about leaves. It's like when a family member dies.
"Well...then we better spend as much time together as we can..." She said, wrapping her arms around Kai's arm.
~End of Flash~
"So what happen to you two?" She asked. Kai took a deep breath and let it out.
"The very next day...her aunt came to the shelter...she left....and I didn't believe in love or romance ever again..." Kai said to her, showing no signs of grief.
"Do you know where she is now?"
"I don't know...but I did promise her something before she left..." Kai trailed off.
"What's that?"
"That we will meet at Tokyo U....we promised that we'll meet again at Tokyo U...." Kai said to her.
[Tokyo U? Like Sempai and Naru's promise together...] She thought in her head.
"Of course, after she left, I studied my butt off. Reading everything I can, the world wars, algebra, calculus, biology...you name it, I studied it. Of course...the guys back at the shelter didn't support my work..."
~Flash back~
"I'm going to take the entrance exam to get into Tokyo U!" Kai exclaimed at the guys gathered around him.
"So that's why you've been avoiding playing or do anything fun?" A boy asked.
"You'll never get in..." another said.
"You're dumber than you look..."
"What a ridiculous wish..."
"Face it kid...there's no way you can get into Tokyo U..."
"But I know I can!" Kai yelled at them.
"Kai, there isn't enough books in this rat trap that will prepare you to get into a big collage like that...there's no way..." Stan told him.
"Gee, thanks for the support...I'll show you...I'll show all of you!" Kai said, leaving the room.
~End of Flash~
"That night, I planned my escape and executed it. I got out...but didn't know where to go from there....that's mostly it. And here I am, sitting on a rock, looking at the moon once more..." Kai said to her. He turned to see Shinobu but didn't expect her to be in tears. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked her.
"You have such a good purpose to go to Tokyo U...to reunite with a loved one and to find one more chance of happiness. I'll do whatever it takes so that you can get it!" Shinobu said to him.
"Well, thanks for your support...I really appreciate it. But don't worry about me...I suggest you go get some sleep... I'll be inside in a couple of minutes. I just want to be alone for awhile..." Kai said to her. Shionbu got up and walked inside the house. Kai then looked back at the moon.
"Bell...I know your out there somewhere...looking at the moon also... We'll meet one day...." He got up and walked towards the house. "One day..."
