Chapter 24
Reminiscing.
The guests were starting to return indoors, it was now late at night and getting slightly chilly. The party was good, no one thought much of the events the night before, especially not Nanasi and Kai.
Nanasi and her prank crew, as they were called, had pulled them on everyone, at one point hitting the entire party with water bombs and water pistols. That hadn't gone down very well and all three had been dunked by the four stronger men, of course it had taken two to dunk seventeen year old Nanasi, easily the smallest of the three, although not much smaller than the older Uriko.
It had to be at least one and practically everyone was inside, movies and popcorn was the call from Tyson and Shina. They'd all settled in the in house cinema.
Kai was lying on one of the beach lounges when he heard a splash. He realised that Nanasi had still been dry when she'd been dunked and never actually swam during the party.
He looked up and sure enough Nanasi had dove into an adjacent pool, oblivious to him. She was wearing a light blue bikini with red details on the flowers. She'd been wearing board shorts all night but now opted to go without. He got up and walked to the pool, his shirt had dried and he now had it on.
He never remembered Nanasi like this until he remembered their first meeting in the tunnel. She'd been happy go lucky then and had now returned to it. Her threat was gone as far as she could see so was relaxed.
He sat on another lounge next to her pool and watched her swim laps for a couple of minutes until she stopped and floated on her back; still oblivious to him. He watched her tanned body slip through the ripples of the pool, her face relaxed and peaceful, or sort of. He still sensed she was conflicting inside.
'Damn she's got a fine body.' He shook his head slightly to rid himself of such thoughts. As far back as he could remember, which wasn't far, he'd never though of Nanasi like that..
He got up and walked around the pool, deciding to leave Nanasi in peace when she splashed out of oblivion.
"Hey Kai," she said quietly standing in the pool, the water just coming to her beneath her ribs. He turned around slowly.
'So fine.' He mentally shook himself and turned back into what he thought old Kai was.
"What?" he asked coldly.
"You want to go for a swim?" she asked sitting on the opposite edge from him.
"No thanks, I'm dry now, no thanks to you and I plan on staying dry," he replied folding his arms and closing his eyes. He opened them in time to see her pick up a filled water bomb lying near her.
"What are you doing?" he asked before she lobbed it straight at him. It hit him and soaked him to the skin, yet again. The water droplets dripped off his bangs into his face.
"Not so dry now, huh hotshot," she said smugly, swishing her legs in the water. He smirked and took his shirt off while she had her eyes closed. Because the pool she was in was smaller than the others it didn't take him long to dive in and catch her legs at the other side.
"You were saying" he smirked and yanked her in. She spluttered as she came to the surface.
"Not funny," she hissed and floated on the surface while Kai did a few laps. He tried concentrating on her but she wasn't letting him in.
"A penny for them," he said after she sighed.
"What?" she asked in surprise.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked rolling his eyes. She rolled onto her front and dove under, resurfacing with her hair out of her face.
"Not much I guess, nothing you'd understand," she replied dryly.
"Try me," he replied, knowing very well that he probably would.
"Fine," she said climbing onto a pool lounge and floating along. He started to circle it staying out wide while she told him.
"I can't remember what happened between the arrival of the God of Fight and when I woke after you woke me," she replied with a sigh.
"Is that all?" he pushed. She looked at him strangely.
"Well." she began but looked away. Kai threw a little water at her.
"Come on," he urged.
"I remember nothing of before I trained for Mishima," she replied quickly as if wanting to get it off her chest.
"I see," he replied, now seeing what he was thinking. She had suppressed the memory, and now she wanted to remember.
"Why am I telling you this? You got no problem," she said slapping her head slightly. "Whoa."
"Nanasi Awara huh? I never," he said entering his own thoughts.
"That's me, what's up with you?" she asked seeing his own thoughtful face. He cocked his head sideways as he looked at her.
"I never imagined it was you, never thought for.let me rephrase that, never remembered it was you," he said softly.
"What are you on about?" she asked in confusion.
"Does the name Balkov Abbey ring any bells?" he asked hopefully.
"Err.no," she said looking at him strangely and then gripped her head. "The Abbey."
"Nanasi?"
"I was there, I was the other champion blader, to. to you," she looked up at him. "I was there with you, when? How?"
"I don't know," he replied looking away and at the sky.
"A full moon, how ironic," she said looking up as well. "The night I left it was a full moon wasn't it?"
"Yeah."
"When did you realise?" she asked lying on her stomach as the lounge drifted along the pool.
"I can't really explain it but while I was knocked out after we destroyed the God of Fight I had a dream. Just so happened to be the memory of us as kids and of when you left," he replied and then decided to swim a few laps to stop him self from getting grouchy at her.
The laps helped cool him down. When he slowed down and started swimming for Nanasi again she was lying on her back, drifting in the shimmering water.
"What did.did you do? When I left I mean," she asked realising he was approaching her from her left.
"I." he stopped. What did he do when he found out? He shut his eyes and tried to remember back. "I.left Boris's office and went outside. Saw the full moon and laughed a little."
"Why?"
"Why what?" he asked in surprise. She'd started circling him now, her dark hair floating behind her, her red streaks looking like snakes.
"Why did you laugh?"
"Because, you always said that full moons put you on edge and made you restless," he replied remembering the chilly night.
"I can tell you why now, but keep going," she said still circling, the shimmering water splashing life into her face that was now dark and inquisitive.
"I went back to my room. The next day the others had found out about Nanasi and some were all calling you a legend, no one had escaped the Abbey before. Others just called you a traitor," he said thinking of one particular boy. His name was Tala, but Tala had finally realised what the Abbey was really about.
"I see," she said deep in thought as she circled him. The circling was starting to irritate Kai slightly. "But what about you? How did you feel about it?"
Kai sank slightly into the pool. He was afraid she'd ask that and he knew that if he didn't tell her himself she'd read his mind and find out for herself.
"That's right," she said with a slight smirk. He growled slightly.
"I was angry but sort of happy for you," he said looking away. She circled him so she was still looking at him. "You left me alone, with no one that understood me or I them."
"Trust me Kai, I have a feeling that even then you wouldn't have been able to understand me," she said turning her nose up slightly. "Of course then I didn't know about anything that I know about today."
"So the whole Devil Gene and Zoan thing, you didn't know?"
"I knew about the Zoan thing, but I hid it very well from Boris and the others but the Devil Gene I had no idea until Mishima kicked me out."
"Oh, but why did you leave?"
"I had to get out of there; I wanted to know about the world outside Russia. I couldn't do that in the Abbey," she replied, grimacing slightly. "Ow."
"What's wrong with you? Anna said you'd healed yourself," he said turning to look at her sharply.
"Hey, you saw me; no transformation could heal that entirely unnaturally. As for Anna, she's blonde like her sister," Nanasi said with a devilish grin. "Which is what I always thought you were in the Abbey; you'd just coloured your hair blonde."
"Is that a fact, at least I didn't go and let myself get beaten up by the others," he replied back sharply.
"Ohhh, touchy, just remember I was the first to give you a beating in the Beydish and the combat field," she replied putting her hands on her hips and standing up so that her perfectly toned stomach was showing.
'So nice,' he thought to himself, careful to guard his mind from her.
"Why'd you block that?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Because I hate it when you get in there," he replied simply turning away. "And by the way, the whole combat field thing, I let you win. I got this thing about hitting girls."
"Right, so that's why you totally annihilated Alice in the ring?" she asked cocking her eyebrow behind his back.
"Because you told me to forget all about that, remember?" he said turning around.
"Oh yeah, that's right. I did didn't I?" she said looking to the sky. She giggled.
"Who is blonde now?" he sneered. Nanasi looked back down and caught him with a death glare.
"Care to make that statement again?" she asked challengingly, slowly moving towards him as he began to circle her.
"Look-who's-blonde-no-OW!" he tried to jump back as Nanasi lunged for him, catching him around the stomach as she tackled him. He ripped her away from his waist and dunked her beneath the water; no easy feat when it comes to Nanasi.
"I'll get you blue boy!" she shouted. That triggered something in Kai.
~~~~~~Flash back~~~~~~~
"Hey blue boy!" someone shouted from above him. He looked up; Nanasi was sitting on the wall, a water bomb in her hand. "How would you really like to look blue?"
She pegged it straight at him, too fast for him to avoid getting hit. It collected him on the chest as he tried to jump out of the way. It burst and blue paint dripped all over his front, flecks catching his face, causing blue shark fins on his face.
"I'll get you for that Awara!" he shouted and sprinted after her. He jumped onto the wall as she jumped off. She'd left a bottle of red paint; he grabbed it and chased her down to the back court yard where he managed to tackle her.
"Ah! Where did you get that?" she exclaimed when he rolled her over and sat on her stomach and saw the red paint in his hand.
"You left it for me," he replied struggling to hold her down. He opened in and squirted it on her stomach. She got one hand free and hit it away; getting it all over his hand so he tried to wipe it on her face.
"Aha!" she shouted as he managed to wipe four red streaks on her face.
"Kai! Awara!" a voice shouted from behind them. They both jerked out of each others grasp and stood up hastily.
"A nice look," said Boris menacingly. "I think you should both keep it, it will identify you as the two top bladers of this academy, but go and wash the rest of it off. I hope not to see such behaviour again." He smacked Nanasi over the head, knowing very well it would have been her who started it.
~~~~~~~End~~~~~~~~
Kai resurfaced after Nanasi tackled him and threw her over his shoulder.
"Hey put me down!" she shouted angrily, clawing at his back.
"Ow! Nanasi!" he shouted in pain and dropped her.
"Ah*glup*" she fell in before resurfacing with a laugh. "What's up? Too tough for you, huh?"
"Not likely," he said and picked her up in his arms again.
"Oh my hero," she said in a sweet high voice. Then she flipped backwards out of his arms, slipping beneath the water and swimming away to the other side of the pool. He sunk to his chin in water, watching as she resurfaced pushing her hair out of her face. The water dripped down her front as she stood up, glistening in the moonlight.
"You look like a shark," she said with a laugh. He raised his eyebrows and began to make his way towards her, zigzagging across the pool. "Uh oh." As he got closer she tried to hurry to the edge of the pool and get out, but he caught her by one of her legs and dragged her back under.
A few minutes later she stood in the middle of the pool while he circled her yet again.
"So why did you leave? Looking for me?" she asked cocking her head to the side as he swam to her left.
"Looking for something to do I guess," he replied with a shrug.
"Oh," she said sounding slightly disappointed. "Well, I didn't find much. I got bored eventually."
"Me too," he replied swimming closer. Her lips glistened smoothly in the moonlight, her chest rising and falling quickly as she was still panting slightly from their wrestling match. Her bikini showed off her tanned skin nicely, as well as her gorgeous curves.
Ayayay! Anyone on the edge of their seats right now. I know I'm not.where do I get all this stupid mushy stuff from? Ugh.anyway, if you want to find out what happens next read on in the next chapter of DEVIL GENE! Luv Krayon
