It was a cloudy morning as Kiki woke up and sat up in her bed. "Man, I feel all bruised up and shit. I wonder, is Omi ok?" She asked herself. She looked around her room, and noticed bandages all over the floor. She thought to herself. 'Why are their bandages all over the floor?' Then she remembered; she was fighting all night, last night. She looked down at where she had received her wounds, and there were bandages around her torso and stomach. Some blood had bled through the bandage and Kiki gently touched it. "How come I can't feel any pain? It's a deep wound; I should be hurting like hell. But I'm not…"
Kiki got up out of bed and started to pick up the bandages lying everywhere. She found a vacant drawer and put the bandages in it. Her room was dulled with the loss of sunlight. She started to get dressed, hopping, trying to put on her black baggy pants with zippers lining them. She then carefully took off her pajama shirt, slipped on her white shirt with a little skull saying, "Am I dead yet?", and then put on all her necklaces and bracelets. She walked over to her phone and looked at a small piece of paper she had written on a couple days ago. It had a phone number on it. It was Omi's number. She picked up her phone and dialed the number. Kiki waited patiently as it rang.
"Hello?" Said a voice.
"Is Omi there?" Kiki asked softly.
"This is he." Omi answered back.
"Hey, its Kiki. How's it going? Are you…feeling better than yesterday?" She asked, looking down at her floor.
"Oh, hey. Yea, I'm feeling a lot better, now. What's going on with you?" He asked with a happy tone.
"Nothing' much, I just called to ask you something," she paused.
"What's that?" Omi asked, curiously.
"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to go see a movie with me. I'm going to leave in a little bit, and really didn't feel like going by myself;" Kiki looked out her window.
"Well, sure, I'll go. Why isn't Miki going with you?" Omi too, stared out his window.
"She's got some plans today;" Kiki just stopped at that.
"Ok, that sounds good. What are we going to see?" He asked.
"Resident Evil 2," she said with an excited tone.
"Oh, one of my favorites. I'll be ready in a few, ok?" He started to walk back over to his desk.
"Ok, I'll be there in a little bit. Bye," Kiki put the phone down and jumped twice with a happy face.
Omi set his phone down, and looked at the picture sitting right beside it. It was a picture of Kiki and him at the park. He picked it up, and gently rubbed his finger down Kiki's figure in the picture. He then sat the picture down, and walked over to his dresser to get some pants and a shirt. He grabbed his baggiest pair, which he knew Kiki would love. He slipped off his pajama shorts, which was all he wore to bed, and pulled up the dark blue, baggy pants. He put on a belt, but left it a little loose so about an inch of his boxers showed. They were blue checkered boxers. He then grabbed his favorite shirt which was a blue muscle shirt with a greatly designed cross on the front. He slipped it on, then grabbed his jacket with white lining and put it on. Just after he had put on his jacket, there was a knock on the door. It was Kiki. He ran up to the door and peeked out of the little hole and saw her, leaning on the wall.
He opened the door and smiled instantly at seeing Kiki's face. "Hey, that was quick," he said still smiling.
"I'm a fast walker. Nice pants," Kiki giggled and smiled back at him. "So, you ready to go?" She looked at him with a curious face.
"Yup, ready as I'll ever be," Omi said laughing.
"Well, let's go," Kiki grabbed his hand and started for the sidewalk. Omi held on to his doorknob trying to close his door before he left. Then went along with Kiki's pulling. He finally caught up with her and walked by her side. He took his hand and twirled his fingers in her hand, lifting them up to his face, rubbing her fingers on his lips. Kiki looked at him and smiled, then gently pushed her body against his as they walked to the theater. They gazed into each other's eyes the whole way there.
Once they got to place to get tickets, Kiki pulled out her wallet, but Omi put his hand on it and pushed it down saying, "It's ok, I'll pay for it," then pulled out his wallet.
Kiki tried to argue. "But you don't need to pay for me, don't waste your money on me;" she looked at him with aggravated eyes.
"But I want to, it's my treat, don't worry about it." He looked at her, smiled and laughed. Kiki just crossed her arms and laughed and shook her head. Once they got the tickets, they went inside and got their drinks and popcorn. They both ran laughing trying not to waste a minute and trying not to spill the popcorn. They went into the theater room, and found a whole row, empty, and raced each other to the top. They finally settled down and waited for the movie to start.
Half way through the movie, a scary part made Kiki jump. She held onto Omi's hand while he grasped her in return. She looked up at him, as he looked down upon her. Like the casual make-out scene in the movies that occur so much, they slowly reached each other's faces, touching lips and kissed. Omi's hand reached over and touched Kiki's face, brushing the other hand through her long, delicate hair. Kiki's hands were around Omi completely. They kissed slowly, then let go, pausing, looking at each other, then kissed once more. Omi found Kiki's ear and whispered into it, "I love you." Kiki looked into his eyes and smiled gently and kissed his tender lips once more. They finally let go, but held tight to each other's hands throughout the rest of the movie.
The movie soon ended and everyone was crowding out of the theater. Omi and Kiki walked out, holding hands as usual, then stopped at the corner of the building. Omi looked at Kiki and asked, "so, you want to go somewhere else?" He then looked out to the oncoming traffic.
"Sure, but where?" Kiki looked at him, smiling, then at the road.
"Hmm, I know. But it's a surprise. You have to close your eyes, ok?" He smiled and laughed. Then he waved down a bus, and led Kiki aboard.
"A surprise? I love surprises!" Kiki laughed and closed her eyes as he led her aboard.
"No peeking!" Omi said looking at Kiki, smiling. The bus stopped at its destination, and only Omi and Kiki got off. Kiki, blinded, was stumbling everywhere. But Omi was they're guiding her the whole way. Omi finally reached where he wanted to go, and motioned for Kiki to sit down. He sat down along with her. He then put his right arm around her, and put his left hand on her eyes, then said, "Ok, you can look now," and pulled his hands away. As he did, Kiki opened her eyes, and they all of a sudden got bigger. Her face lightened up with what she saw.
"Oh, Omi! It's beautiful! How did you know?" Kiki looked across the Silver Lake, as tiny fireflies were dancing across the water. The sun was setting, so there was a beautiful glow of orange and red and dark blue on the water. With the sparkles of the fireflies, it made the water glow even brighter.
"I know you love the feel of nature and stuff, so I thought you might like this. It's where I used to go when I was…little…" Omi paused, but looked up at Kiki and smiled to hide his sudden emotion.
"I know I shouldn't go here, but why do you not like your childhood so much?" Kiki had a sudden look of sadness on her face. She looked deep within Omi's eyes.
Omi started to tell her about his past, but paused every now and then to think about it. He didn't want to think about it, but he loved Kiki enough to let her know how he felt about things such as this. Then, a tear started to come from Omi's dark eye. It started to roll down his cheek. Kiki stopped it before it reached his chin.
"Oh, Omi…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-" Omi stopped her.
"Its ok, its not your fault. I've just tried to keep this hidden for so long. But now, I realize that it's best to have someone to know about it too," Omi started to cry a little more.
"Omi…" Kiki looked at him, thinking it didn't have to be this way. She then grabbed him with her soft arms and pulled him to her chest. She hugged him tight, and started to cry with him. Tears were rolling down both of their cheeks. They sat there for the rest of the evening until it started to get a dark.
Kiki took her hands and lifted Omi's face so she could look into his eyes. She spoke softly to him, "Omi, my past is very similar to yours. My family very often used me for their own benefits, not caring for me. A lot of them died right in front of my eyes. I thought it just all coming back to them for the way they treated me. But in the end, I wound up trying to save the rest that were still alive. I've always felt alone, because I'm so different from them. They always treated me differently. I didn't have anyone to connect with in my family. It was hard; I had nowhere to go. So I left, and came here. I figured I would be better on my own. Since no one cared for me…" she looked at the ground. More tears started to fall.
"I care for you, Kiki," Omi said, still looking at Kiki with soaked eyes. He wiped the falling tears from her face. "I love you, no matter how different from everyone else you are. That's why I love you, is because you are different. You make me feel like I'm not alone. You make me feel as if someone really cares. I just want you to know that I will always care about you, no matter what happens." He looked at Kiki and lifted her head, staring into her multi colored eyes. He then kissed her with so much passion, that she just forgot everything else that was around her, except for him. She held onto Omi, not wanting to let go. She fell on top of him lying on the ground. They both looked at each other, wiping each other's tears away. Kiki leaned off of Omi and he soon leaned over against her, falling on top of her this time. Kiki felt pinned down, but she didn't care. Omi leaned down and kissed her, both of their bodies brushing against one another. (Note: ^_~) Kiki kept staring into Omi's eyes. It was so dark; all she could see was his face from the glowing of the fireflies. She finally had a sense that someone really cared for her for who she was. She finally found the feeling she has been searching for all these years. The feeling of never being alone. She found…happiness. (^_~)
They later left the Silver Lake, and headed home. Omi walked Kiki to her apartment, and kissed her goodbye. There were no more tears falling. They said their goodbyes, and finally Kiki went into her room. Omi walked home, thinking about what she had told him about her past. The more he thought about her, the more he felt like he wasn't alone anymore. "I think…I've found the one…" Omi stopped at his front door, holding his keys. "She's the one. I'm not alone anymore…" He then opened his door and went inside.
While Kiki was in her room, she looked at her answering machine. She had a message. Kiki pushed the button and listened to it.
"Hey Kiki! You there? Pick up! Well, I gotta tell you about today, and that there's some bad news. So, call me! Bye!" The message ended.
Kiki just ignored it and decided she would think about it tomorrow. And so she went to bed, thinking about what Omi had told her that night, and soon fell asleep.
