Disclaimer: (see last chapter) since only one person reviewed the first
chapter I'm gonna hafta admit that it's not the best story in the world.
But hey, whose is? ^-^ (don't answer that)
Also, I just hafta ask: Is it pathetic if I've memorized the Cyborg 009 ending theme when I didn't even get the lyrics from anything online? Just out of memory? I guess it is. Oh well! I'm pretty pathetic anyway! SCORE! I'M PATHETIC!!! WOOHOO!!!
Ok. Not going to freak you out anymore. Here you go.
~*~
'This is- odd,' Kai thought to himself as he stood outside the restaurant that supposedly was Key's. It was a red bricked building with all the qualities of a French dining restaurant on the outside but as he looked in the window, it looked like any old noodle shop you'd find in Japan. He looked up to see the banner of the restaurants name flapping wildly in the wind. He could barely make out what it said because it was moving so quickly. He managed to see the words, 'Higashi Kaze' on the banner. 'Huh,' he thought to himself with interest. 'East Wind. Who would name a restaurant, east wind?'
He suddenly stopped and thought to himself as the wind began to calm down and become slightly warmer. 'What am I doing here? I have no reason to see this girl. And even if I did, what would I say to her? *oh! Hi miss! You seemed interesting. So I ran three blocks to get here and talk about nothing.* Ha! That would be a great conversation.' He then put his hands in his pockets and turned to walk slowly back to Tyson's house. 'Sometimes I don't know why I think the things I do.'
* * *
"LET IT RIP!!!" Max shouted, releasing his Draciel onto the dusty ground of the Zen garden. Tyson had called an emergency practice to be held at his house as the Blade breakers would be getting ready for their next tournament.
"Good move, Max!" Kenny shouted over the spinning of the beyblade which had just dodged a very large wooden block.
"Yeah!" shouted Rei. "With this team, and our new skills, we're gonna win that tournament for sure!"
"You said it!" Tyson replied. "Hey guys, why don't we take a break. I ordered some food!"
Kai froze at these words. Then Max spoke up, "Great! I'm beat. I could use some food!"
"You could always use some food," said Rei.
"Not as much as Tyson!" Kenny replied pointing to Tyson.
"Okay! So I like eating!" Tyson shouted over Max, Kenny and Rei's laughter. "You got a problem with that?"
Kai suddenly spoke up out of no where. "Who's delivering the food?"
Everyone stopped and looked at Kai with puzzled looks. "I dunno," Tyson said breaking the awkward stare. "I ordered it from Higashi Kaze. So, I'm assuming it's Key. Why so important?"
The funny thing was, Kai said to himself that exact same question. "Nothing," he responded in his usual dull yet cold tone of voice.
"Whatever," Tyson said not caring about Kai or what he thinks. He gave up on trying about a year ago. "It's amazing really," he said while everyone except Kai stared at him. "Key is only fourteen year old and already she has her own restaurant, her own house, her own everything! She's totally on her own."
"Sounds a bit lonely to me," Rei said listening with interest, but he wasn't the only one.
"What kind of food does she make?" Max said out of the blue. Everyone except Kai fell over.
"How can you think of food when we're talking about a lonely girl?" Kenny said.
"I'm hungry ok?!" Max nearly shouted back to Kenny.
"Anyway," Tyson said trying to make sure Max didn't yell at Kenny anymore than he was. "She can make any kind of food. Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, French, American, you name it and she'll make it!"
"Sounds cool," Max said. "Is she pretty?" Once again, everyone except Kai, fell over.
"Can you keep one serious topic?! Or does it always have to change to girls or food?!" Kenny shouted close to strangling Max but Tyson broke the silence.
"Very pretty. But don't tell her I said that. She can pack a punch! I learned the hard way one time when I didn't pay her for a month. I don't think the bruise on my stomach ever went away."
They all pondered for a second in silence thinking about what Tyson said. Max looked around and saw Kai.
"Woah!" Max said in surprise as he looked directly at Kai.
"What is it dude?" Tyson replied.
"Kai!" Max said pointing to his face. "He's blushing!"
"What?!" Tyson said as they all whipped around to see if the impossible was true. "Woah! You're not kidding!"
It was true. Kai was blushing for some strange reason. After Tyson said that she was pretty, he just became inflamed in red on his cheeks. 'Why am I doing this?' Kai thought to himself. 'I don't like her! Why am I blushing?! I've never done this before!'
Kai turned to face everyone who was staring directly at him. "It's nothing. I'm just feeling hot, that's all."
Tyson began to tease back, "oooo! Does *The Great Kai* have a wittle cwush on wittle old Key?" Everyone but Kai began to laugh as Tyson continued to harass Kai about his now clenched fists and crimson cheeks. But that wasn't because of a crush or being hot. That was out of pure fury.
Kai suddenly jumped up from his seating position and grabbed Tyson by the collar. He held Tyson up to the wall with his right hand as his left was far behind his head, ready to destroy Tyson's face. Kai leaned in and whispered to Tyson before letting him go and stomping off, "I do not like her, and you would be smart to not make fun of me, understood?"
"Understood," Tyson spat back, trying to get free from Kai's tight grip on his own collar.
* * *
They all stood around waiting and waiting for the food to come. It seemed like time had slowed down but just for them.
"Man!" shouted Max. "How long has it been since you called the restaurant? It seems like eternity!"
"Uh, Max?" Tyson said. "It's only been ten minutes."
"That's too long!" No sooner did Max say that in almost a screaming tone, was there a knock on the gate. Tyson got up out of his seat to go over to the entrance and let the delivery girl in while Kai came out and leaned against the beam as he had been doing when he first met Key.
Tyson opened the gate and a young girl walked in with a food bag in her hand. Kai briefly glanced at Key.
She was a bit different than yesterday. Today she had a short sleeve T-shirt with sweat shorts and her hair was down. She also had white sneakers on which made her look a little on the male side. She didn't seem to be wearing very girl-type clothing. In fact, she seemed to be wearing comfortable clothes.
"Hey Ke-"
"Don't you 'Hey Key' me, Tyson!" she shouted at him. "You know darn well that you have not paid me back in over a week! And trust me! You go through more food in a day than an elephant does in a year!"
The others began to chuckle under their breathe as Tyson tried to speak, "Look, Key, I can explain,"
"Don't bother!" she shouted back. "Just pay me now or I can give you a brother to go along with your little friend on your stomach! Hmm?" she said raising her fist into Tyson's face. Kai watched all of this happen so slowly. He stared at Key the whole time. 'Why would Tyson upset her? Why I outta teach him a less- wait! What am I saying? I'm not on her side or anything! Am I?'
Key turned to the rest of the group as soon as she was done threatening Tyson and he had run off to get his wallet. Her hair was wildly displayed after letting out her fury on Tyson. She slowly started to form a warm smile. Kai began to melt. 'My god,' he thought. 'She's so beautiful. She doesn't have any make-up or fancy clothes or anything and she's still beautiful.' He paused, still staring at Key. 'ARG! Why do I feel these emotions? I don't like her! At least I don't think so. No! I definitely don't like her! I don't! I know I don't!' "I don't!"
All eyes turned on Kai for the sudden out burst. All eyes, including Key's. She began to walk over to where Kai was sitting as Kai began to feel his heart race.
"Do I know you?" she said, still having the smile on her face. Kai stayed silent as he just stared at her face. "Are you sure you're alright?" She asked him. He still wouldn't move. He wanted to say something- anything, but nothing came out. Finally she made it so that he had to answer. "My name is Key. What's your name?"
"K-k-Kai. Kai," he stuttered out. Key just smiled while the others looked in awe as they had never seen Kai stutter before.
"Nice to meet you, Kai," she said. She then paused for a moment. "Oh! You were the kid from yesterday! The one who waited for my delivery! Right?"
"Ye-yeah. Th- tha- that's me," He sputtered out again.
"There's no need to be afraid," she said as she knelt down and held his hand. Kai felt like he was going to melt right then and there. But then he saw the others staring at him wondering what was going on. He hesitated and pulled his hand away. "I don't need your help," he spat back at her. "And I especially don't need your sympathy, Key."
She looked at Kai's face in horror. Then her face just turned to angry and irritated as Tyson began to walk in. "Fine!" She said staring at Kai. "I don't need to waste my time with someone who won't even listen to me. What's the point of being nice if this is what I get for it." She stomped off and walked out of the Zen garden.
"Wait!" Tyson shouted. "You forgot your money!" He paused for a moment just to see if she would come back. She didn't. "Fine," Tyson shrugged. "But if she says that I didn't pay her, than you all are my witnesses," he said pointing to everyone. "I tried. I really did."
Kai then got up and walked out of the Zen garden to his room, shaking and realizing what he just did.
