Hi. I actually writing like, 2 chapters in advance. Not my fault, I couldn't get on FanFiction yesterday. Weird. I got 10 reviews all of a sudden. =^-^=

TO KILL A PART OF YOUR HEART: chapter 6 (Yay!)

The light may show us more than we wish.
Only in the darkness do we see perfection.

One of Kylie's hands crept up to his chest. Kai's heart was hammering wildly. Gently she pulled away, and Kai took the cue. He looked at her and saw that she was licking her lips.

"Wanna go out for dinner?" She whispered.

Kai nodded.

"Cool. I know a place. In Chinatown."

"Hmm." Kai remembered what he had told Rei.

"What?"

"Nah, it's nothing. Can we go now?"

They loosened their embrace and walked off.

~~~~~~~~Later in Chinatown~~~~~~~~~

Kai looked around the brightly lit Chinese restaurant. He looked at his watch and was shocked to see that it was already 3 in the morning. Where had all the time went? It seemed like only a while ago it was 9.30 and he'd just left the hotel.

"Hope you like Chinese food." Kylie's remark brought him back to reality.

Kai nodded again.

"Sooo. How did you get to my house anyway?" She asked.

Kai thought about it for a while. "Found the place where I saw you first. and somehow got there." He was beginning to think that the shadow was just a fragment of his imagination.

Kylie wondered about his answer. She didn't get it. There was so little chance that he just walked in a random direction and found her. There were so many forks and crossroads and alternate ways. But did he have a reason to lie to her? She thought about California. Was he helping her? Oh god, if that was true. The bitch will die.

She noticed the uneasy silence, and so she launched into a discussion about one of Kai's latest battles. He too was relieved to get rid of the silence.

When the food did arrive, the plates nearly covered the table. Kai thought of Tyson and grinned inwardly.

They ate while arguing about several teams. Their conversation ranged around several topics, but all related to beyblading. It seemed to be the only thing they could talk about comfortably, something both of them loved.

"You know, there are prawns in nearly all the dishes, but they all taste different." Kai branched off.

"That's what I like about Chinese food. It has so many. you know, styles, textures." Kylie smiled.

"Western food is plain." Kai stated bluntly. At that moment he bit into a large salad leaf. However it was too big and couldn't get it in. Its sides were sticking out of his mouth. He gave up and laughed.

Kylie, who had been intent on peeling her black pepper prawn, looked up and laughed as well. She reached over the table and helped him with her chopsticks.

When Kai finally managed to get it down, he looked at her 'seriously' and said "Random fact: Overlarge vegetables could very possibly have been nearly drowned in pesticide."

Something about this made Kylie laugh loudly, and Kai couldn't help but join in.

After they calmed down, Kylie had a weird urge to ask Kai something. "Random question: Do you have a car?"

Kai raised his blue eyebrows. "Yes. Why?"

"As I said, random question. What car is it?"

Kai answered with a tinge of pride. "A Lamborghini Gallarado." (A.N: That car is damn expensive. It's my dream car)

"Oh god." Judging by her reaction, he realized she knew what he was talking about. Moreover, he was goddamn pleased with her reaction. It made him feel good to have her so amazed.

"What color is it?" She asked.

"Oh guess. Blue." He was really enjoying this. "If you ever go to Japan, I'd be glad to give you a ride."

Her smile dimmed a bit. "I don't think I'll ever get out of this dump."

"Sure you will." He comforted her automatically. Hesitantly, he reached a hand out and swept a lock of her hair up. She looked up.

She remembered that when she was a few years younger, she was constantly upset with her eye color, as it was a shade lighter than Kai's. Then for a moment she realized that Kai was right here. Just across a table (covered in half-eaten dishes), close enough to touch. Would she have believed, those few years ago, that Kai would be much, much closer to her than on the television.

Yea, she thought. Much much much closer. Their kiss flashed in her mind. It started a frighteningly long chain of thought which she did not want to follow until she got home.

"Umm. Its like, 3.30 a.m. Will the guys be missing you?" She questioned.

Kai sneered. "They're asleep." He worried about Rei though. He was supposed to be sharing a room with him. And he left the hotel hours ago at 9 or something.

Remembering Kylie's reaction to his car, he steered into that category of conversation. For the next half an hour, they talked about the Lamborghini, the Lancer evo. Viii, the Mini and the Cooper. Slightly off the talk of cars, they discussed Harley-Davidsons, and Kai learned something else about the Stormhawks.

"Flyer's bitbeast is called Milwaukee." Upon seeing Kai's confused look, she added, "Flyer is the guy who told you guys to piss off that night."

"Oh. Coincidence or did he name it?"

"God knows." She laughed.

"So, who else is in the team besides you too?" Kai's question made Kai hesitate. Her suspicions about California were not erased.

Kai persuaded her to tell him without any words being passed between the two.

"Well, there's Leo. And Wraithe." Another of Kai's silent questioning looks for more.

"You know Lee, from the White Tigers? Leo's bitbeast is kinda like that, except that Noctaleox (A.N: Bad name. I just took it out of nowhere.) has these bat-like wings, unlike "

Kai imagined with bat's wings. "Pretty cool, I guess."

Kylie continued. "Wraithe's black swan is a really ancient bitbeast. Her entire name is like, Prota-something-something, but we just call her St. Demon. If you saw her, you'd know why."

"And Milwaukee?"

"A huge gray wolf."

"So why the name Stormhawks? Seems to me as if the name has been based on you."

"Nah. The lion, hawk, wolf and swan all have that 'wind' element. But that's not how we got the name. It existed before me and Wraithe joined in. If you really wanna know you'd better see Leo, he'll tell you. I often wonder, though, whether the wind thing was just a coincidence or what."

Kylie looked at the nearby wall clock. So did Kai, and noticing the time, he instinctly yawned.

He looked at the table, did some calculations and put some money on the table, which he slid towards Kylie.

"'Night. Thanks for dinner."

He left then. Without having to count the money Kylie knew it was exactly half of the bill. Something about Kai's manner told her that. Without bothering to get her money out, she sneaked off.

By the time the waitress found only half the money due on the table, Kylie had already begun her usuall training with Havoc, although many hours late.
