Two hearts, one love
Chapter 34: Staring into space
Kai's POV
"Good morning Kai-kun" Akina said to me the next morning at breakfast.
"Morning Akina" I muttered sitting down across from her.
"Is that all you're eating?" I asked her pointing towards her glass of juice and single slice of toast.
"I don't particularly feel hungry today" she answered shrugging.
Frowning, I pushed the feeling that something was wrong away and began eating breakfast.
Wandering lazily through the hallways, I wondered where Akina could've got to. Since I had already finished my homework and working out I decided to go and find her.
I walked towards her room and paused for a moment before knocking on the door.
"Come on" Akina's voice floated through the door.
"Oh hey Kai" she said absently looking up from a book.
"What are you reading?" I asked her sitting down next to her.
"Huh?" she replied confused.
Reaching over, I plucked the book from her hands and realized that she had been reading it upside down.
"Akina, do you always read books upside down?" I asked her.
"Huh? Did you say something?" she said after a few seconds.
I sighed. This wasn't right. Glancing over at her, I saw that she had returned to staring into space with a glazed look in her eyes.
"Akina are you okay?" I questioned her carefully.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" she said smiling brightly at me.
"Akina, don't bullshit with me please. It's obvious to me that you are not okay" I said rolling my eyes.
"I'm fine really" she insisted before standing up. "I've just got a bit of a headache, that's all. I think I'll take a nap"
I stood up reluctantly and crossed to the door way.
"Akina, it's not worth it" I stated quietly as I leaned against the door frame.
"Huh? What's not worth it?" she responded crawling into her bed.
"Just get some sleep, okay?" I said deciding that would be best for the time being.
"Where's Akina?" I asked mum later that day as I sat down at lunch.
"Oh, she's still sleeping upstairs. I decided it was best not to wake her" mum answered.
"Shouldn't she eat?" I said with a frown.
"She can eat when she wakes up" mum said patiently, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth "But I can see that you're quite anxious about her condition, so why don't you take her lunch tray up after you're done?"
I scowled as I spotted the amused expression on my mother's face. Just what was she implying?
"Here you go. Do make sure she eats Kai" mum said after lunch as she handed me a tray.
I rolled my eyes as I walked up the stairs. Shouldn't the maid be doing this? Isn't that what we paid them for?
Balancing the tray on one hand, I knocked on Akina's door with the other. When I got no response I knocked louder before pushing the door open with the help of my foot.
I crossed the room silently and lowered the tray onto the side table next to the bed and then turned to see Akina's small figure curled up in the bed.
"Akina, get up. I know you're awake" I told her sternly.
"Sleeping" she mumbled, her half-lidded lifeless eyes peeking out at me from the top of the blanket.
"Get up and eat now" I said irritably.
"Not hungry, I'll eat later" she said her voice muffled as she buried her head underneath the covers.
"Stop being difficult" I snapped losing my patience. "You are going to eat now whether you want to or not"
"Make me" Akina said shooting up to a sitting position to poke her tongue out at me.
"You are so childish" I said scowling as I sat down next to her on the bed. "If you want to be like that fine. I'm not going to say that I didn't warn you"
With that I swiftly leaned over scooping up a spoonful of rice and held it in front of Akina's lips.
"Open" I commanded.
"No" she said shaking her head stubbornly. "I can look after myself you know"
God, it was like I was fucking babysitting.
"Well you obviously aren't going to eat by yourself" I pointed out as the spoon hovered over her lips once more. "Now open"
"Fine" Akina finally huffed, opening her mouth allowing the spoon to pass before promptly swallowing. "Now will you leave me alone?"
"No, you're going to finish all of this" I stated firmly taking in her dull blue orbs, noting that they didn't sparkle with energy as they usually did. "Even if I have to spoon feed you all of this"
"Oh really?" she retorted, a faint twinkle appearing in her eyes. "So you are willing to feed me all of this?"
"No, you're going to eat this all now" I said setting down the spoon.
"You know what, I don't think so. I'm going back to sleep" she announced.
"No you're going to eat" I told her getting seriously pissed off with her behavior.
"Only if you feed me" she said teasingly and I could see that she thought there was no way in which I would agree with her.
Two could play at that game.
"Fine, if that's the way it has to be" I said and picked up the spoon once more.
Her eyes widened when she saw that I was serious and a smirk formed on my mouth.
"Well come on, open up" I said lifting the spoon up to her lips and was pleased when Akina obediently opened her mouth.
"Thanks Kai-kun" Akina said, a giggle escaping her lips when she had finished.
"You better come down for dinner" I merely said before picking up the tray and turning to the door.
"And what if I don't?" she called out. "Are you going to come up and feed me again?"
"You wish. You're lucky I even came up here in the first place" I responded before closing the door behind me.
I thought that Akina would've gotten better by the end of the weekend, but it seemed to me that she had only gotten worse. If I hadn't gone up to her room to visit her, I probably would've only seen her at meal times. And although she appeared cheerful and herself then, I could see through her act.
I rolled around in my bed, and wondered whether she would be like this at school tomorrow.
A noise from Akina's room caught my attention and I sat up. Better go check to see if anything's wrong I thought and got up from my bed.
I made no noise as I walked to her room and opened her door slightly to peer inside. Catching sight of her bed, I saw that it was empty and I pushed the door open further. A movement to the right caught my eye and I focused in on it.
There she was. At first I thought she was just looking out of the window, but a moment later, she whirled around and I caught a flash of steel. She was going through several swift swipes with her bamboo sword and the moonlight streaming through the open window reflected off the blade.
"Akina?" I called out to her softly stepping into the room.
She froze for a moment before relaxing and turning to face me.
"Hey Kai" she said. "What are you doing up?"
"What am I doing up? What are you doing up?" I said in reply.
"Couldn't sleep" she said wearily with a shrug. "Probably because I've slept for the whole day"
I frowned when I saw the obviously tired expression in her eyes. She was lying. She probably didn't even sleep at all this weekend.
"When was the last time you slept?" I inquired.
"Earlier today" she simply said.
"You should sleep now" I told her.
"You think I don't want to? I want to but I can't" she said staring at the ground. "Because every time I try, I see him....with that girl"
"Akina" I said stepping towards her.
There was a dull thud as the bamboo sword fell from her hands onto the floor.
"What's wrong with me Kai?" she asked me looking up.
"Nothing's wrong with you Akina. He's the one who's screwed up" I assured her. "Now you should rest, we have school tomorrow"
"Oh god, I totally forgot." She said covering her face with her hands. "Well I suppose you better get some sleep too. Don't worry, I'll sleep"
I made no move whatsoever to leave. I knew for a fact that Akina wouldn't sleep tonight.
I sighed, "Come on" I said and nudged her gently over to the bed. "I'll stay here until you sleep just to make sure"
"Kai, you don't have to. I can look after myself" she stubbornly said.
"Whatever" I muttered as she climbed into bed.
"Anyway, what about you? Don't you need to sleep as well?" she continued.
"Just sleep okay?" I commanded her.
"Only if you do as well" she protested.
"Fine" I mumbled and climbed into bed beside her.
"Good" she said lightly before curling up next to me. "Kai?"
"Mmm yeah?" I replied.
"Thanks"
Crystal/Akina's POV
I was walking down the pitch black corridor again.
You'd think I would have different dreams once in a while.
Sighing, I walked towards where the light would appear. I froze for a moment. This could not be happening. The dream didn't happen this way. But rubbing my eyes didn't change the vision before me.
The scenery had changed and I found myself at school. Watching him and that girl. But this time was different. I couldn't move or make a sound. I was an outsider, a spectator.
I tried to squeeze my eyes shut, but they refused to obey and remained glued to what was happening right in front of me.
I wanted to scream, wanted to run, but my legs wouldn't move and my mouth opened but no sound came out.
I could only watch fixated.
Suddenly, I felt strong warm arms wrap around me and I found myself face to face with Kai.
"Kai?" I questioned, the words flew from my mouth this time.
"What's done is done" he said and I hugged him tightly.
"Please don't leave me" I whispered.
"Don't worry, I won't" he promised.
Kai's POV
Rubbing my eyes, I rolled around in bed to face Akina.
She seemed to be sleeping soundly which was definitely good. Maybe she should stay home today, catch up on sleep. But then again, knowing her, she probably would refuse to stay at home.
I caught a whiff of mangos. I frowned in concentration as I tried to find the source. Surely there were not mangos in the room? Struck by a sudden inspiration, I glanced towards Akina and the scent became slightly stronger. Bingo. Was I smart or what? It would appear that the mango scent was coming from Akina, most likely her shampoo or something.
At that moment, she snuggled closer to me, sighing lightly in her sleep.
I could easily wake her and tell her to get off me, but who knows when she would sleep this soundly again.
"Kai" she murmured and nestled her head against my bare chest. "Wo ai ni Kai"
Huh? What did that mean? It was definitely Chinese so I had no idea.
Brushing the thought aside, I dozed off, there were still a few hours until school started.
I didn't wake up until several hours later. Darting a quick glance at the clock confirmed my suspicions. I was late. Well, Akina and I were late. School had started half an hour ago. Shit.
Akina must've sensed my awakening for her eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Kai" she mumbled. "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, we're late for school" I answered.
"Hmm really" she said absently. "Suppose we better get ready then"
"That would be a good idea" I said getting up.
15minutes later, we were seated at the dining table, having a hurried breakfast. Well I was having a hurried breakfast. Akina on the other hand, seemed to be taking her time. If she was somebody else, I probably would've urged her to be faster but after several sleepless nights, I didn't push her. We were already late so being a few more minutes late wouldn't really matter.
"I wonder where my car is" Akina mused when we were going down to my garage.
"Probably in my garage" I answered opening the door that led to it. "See" I said gesturing to the gleaming silver convertible parked neatly next to my black one.
"I also wonder where my car keys are" she thought aloud pausing for a moment.
"Akina, don't bother. We'll take my car today" I said digging my keys out of my pocket.
"Fine then" she agreed before getting in.
We sped across the city easily since the morning rush had been over an hour ago. We reached the school in record time and made our way to the office for a late pass.
"What is your reason for being late?" the office lady inquired.
Crap. In all the rush we had forgotten to come up with a plausible excuse. Somehow I knew that oversleeping would not be one.
At that exact moment, the phone on the table rang.
"Fill this in" the lady instructed, pushing two bright orange slips towards us.
"Hello, St. Xavier Secondary College, how may I help you?" she spoke into the phone.
"Yes" she said after listening. "Not a problem. Thank-you, have a nice day"
"Well" she said turning back to us after she had hung up. "Would I be correct to assume that you are Hiwatari Kai and Hiragazaki Akina?"
"Yes" I confirmed in surprise.
"Well then, Hiwatari Kai, your mother just called explaining why the two of you are late today. Here are your late passes. Please go straight to class now" she explained to us whisking the orange slips out of sight and handing us each a lime green late pass.
"Well that was easier than I thought it'd be" Akina remarked as she slipped her bag into her locker and slid books out.
"My mother's very organized" I told her as she leaned over to pop open my locker. "Thanks. What do we have now?"
"English and Chem" she supplied and I took out a few books and shut my locker.
When we opened the door and walked into the room, everybody's attention automatically switched to us.
"Do they have to do that?" I hissed to Crystal.
"Orienting response" she replied as the teacher glared at us.
"What the hell is that?" I asked her after the teacher checked our late passes and we had sat down next to Rei, Tala and Mariah.
"Orienting response is the tendency to respond to a new stimulus in an environment." She explained dismissively.
"Where'd you learn that from?" Mariah asked her.
"Psychology" Crystal answered.
"Why are you guys late anyway?" Tala said to us.
"Overslept" I replied opening up my book.
"Both of you on the same day at the same time?" Rei questioned suspiciously.
"Well Crystal's staying at my house" I said.
"Why?" Mariah said curiously.
"My father went overseas. Since our fathers are friends, his father offered for me to stay at their house" Crystal responded promptly. "By the way Kai, your tie's crooked."
"Is it?" I said looking down at it.
"Here" she said and she leaned over to straighten it out. "There"
I could help but smirk when I noticed several girls shoot envious looks at Crystal.
Crystal/Akina's POV
"So Kai, got anything planned for your birthday yet?" Tala asked him a while later.
"No. Don't think I'll do anything this year" he answered.
"What? Why not? It's your 18th, you have to do something" Mariah exclaimed.
"I don't really want to do anything. If I do anything at all, my father will make sure that all the snobs are invited. Anyway, I don't have to do anything if I don't want to" Kai said in reply.
Hmm, that gave me an idea...
Ooh, wonder what Crystal's idea is. But I'm sure that you can probably guess. Well I hope that you like this chapter. Once again, review please. I'll try to keep the chapters nice and long for you okay?
