Hullo again! Thank you to all the nice people who reviewed! You made me and
my evil killer monkeys happy^_^ I still don't own anything but Kali..oh and
* means thinking.
Chapter2:
Kali sat down on the couch, confused. Did she like Gray? Did he like her? The bathroom door upstairs opened and closed and the water for the shower turned on. Kali looked outside as another flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
"EKK! MY EYES!" Kali screamed and rubbed her eyes. "I am such a wimp."
The bathroom door opened again. "Kali? Are you okay? Um. I've got my clothes out here now so you can. get them." Kali grinned and walked up the stairs as the door closed again. Gray's clothes were wrapped in a bright blue towel on the floor. Kali picked them up and walked back down stairs. The laundry room was right next to the kitchen, so Kali snuck another peek outside as she walked in. She threw Gray's clothes and the towel into the dryer and turned it on. The water upstairs turned off, and Gray came down the stairs looking quite odd in Kai's clothes.
"Uh. you look.great in purple," Kali said and fell over laughing. Gray blushed and pulled the pants up higher.
"These are huge," he commented when Kali stopped laughing.
"Yeah, Kai likes big clothes. Well so do I, actually. So, do you want some hot chocolate or something?" Kali asked and stood up. Gray shrugged.
"Sure." They walked into the kitchen and searched for cups. Gray found mugs and Kali found hot chocolate mix and dumped it into the mugs.
"Do you want it with water or milk?" Kali asked Gray and grabbed a measuring cup.
"I didn't know it made a difference. I guess milk would be good." Kali poured milk into both mugs and placed them into the microwave.
"How much longer do you think the storm will last?" Kali asked and turned to look at the clock. It blinked 12:00 over and over. "Oh yeah, the power went out."
"I don't know," Gray said and looked out the window. "Probably over night at least." Kali nodded and took the mugs out of the microwave. As she handed Gray a cup, it spilled all over his hand.
"OUCH!" Gray yelled and stuck his hand under cold water from the sink.
"Ohmygosh, I am sooo sorry!" Kali said guiltily and set both mugs down. "Let me see it." Gray turned his hand so she could see the red coloring spreading along it.
"I'm gonna go get a bandage or something to wrap it up with. Hold on." Gray nodded and grimaced. Kali ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. She had no clue where Kai kept his first aid stuff. She opened the closet and peered inside.
"Towels, toothbrush, toothpaste. He better have something I can use or I will rip up one of his bandanas to use!" Kali growled angrily. She finally saw a box full of first aid materials and brought it back downstairs to Gray. He gave her a relieved look when she pulled out a long cloth bandage.
"Okay. Hold still," Kali warned and carefully wrapped the cloth around Gray's reddened hand. He grimaced and wiped his eyes. Kali pinned the cloth together with a safety pin.
"There. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to spill it on you!" Gray smiled weakly at Kali.
"It's okay. I get burnt a lot at the blacksmith, so I am kind of used to it. Don't worry about it." Gray reassured Kali and patted her on the back. She blushed and looked down.
"Hey don't start getting quiet on me now, Kali," Gray said and poked her on the arm.
"I'm not being quiet! I.just got tired, so I.uh. got quiet!" Kali protested weakly and picked up a mug. "There's still enough to drink so take one." Gray shook his head but picked up a mug anyway. As they drank the hot chocolate, Kali went deep into thought.
*How can I be falling for a guy so soon? I barely know anything about him,* Kali thought and shook her head. Gray gave her a weird look. *Well maybe that is something I should do now!* Kali grinned slyly and put her mug down.
"Uh, Kali, are you okay? You look kind of.how should I put this? Evil." Gray commented and Kali gazed up at him silently.
"That is my 'evil' look, so I should look evil. But if you ask Kai, he will say it is my 'dark' look and that I do not look evil, I look dark. I don't know what that means, but I do know that I absolutely am not dark." Kali finished with a lopsided smile on her face. Gray shook his head with a small grin.
"You really are tired, aren't you?" He asked her, still grinning.
"Um." Kali took in a deep breath, "yes. Yes I am." Gray grinned.
"Okay. But before you nod off at the table, can you tell me where I will sleep?" Kali was suddenly wide awake. She hit her head with her fist.
"Um, Gray, there is only one couch."
"So? Isn't there a bed?"
".."
"I'll take that as a no." Gray mumbled. Kali nodded solemnly.
"Okay then, we can just each take half of the couch. It wont be too bad, will it?" Gray asked and yawned. Kali sighed.
"It's our only option," then she broke out laughing.
"What?" Gray said, obviously annoyed. Kali continued to laugh.
"It's just so FUNNY!" Kali squealed. "So much has happened and it's only my first day here! It's just so weird!" Gray shook his head and sighed.
"You've had too much caffeine. You're going to sleep now." Gray stated and picked Kali up. She stopped laughing right away and clung to Gray. He blinked a few times and laid Kali down on the couch. The last thing she remembered was his blue eyes watching her, and his hand on her face. Lightning flashed, and Kali was asleep before the thunder was heard.
Kali moaned and rolled over.
"Kai, close those windows, the light is too bright." she moaned, moved her hands from under the pillow, and touched flesh. Kali forced her eyes open. It was someone's back, definitely not hers, because she was wearing a shirt. Kali rolled over to see who was lying next to her. Gray. His hat had come off, and his blondish reddish hair was sticking up all over his head. It was kind of cute. Kali blinked and rubbed her eyes in shock.
*What is he doing here? Oh wait, last night he stayed over.* Kali shook Gray gently. "Gray, wake up. Come on. It's morning and you probably need to get to work." Gray's eyes popped open.
"Oh man, Grandpa is gonna kill me! Thank you so much for all of your help, I owe you!" Gray said and ran out the door. Kali blinked and stretched.
*I wonder when he will notice he doesn't have a shirt on. And he's still wearing Kai's pants.* About a minute later, Gray rushed back in with a bright blush on his face and the sound of Kai's laughing behind him. He picked up his hat from the floor and jammed it on his head.
"I forgot my clothes," Gray stated quietly, obviously too embarrassed to say anything else. Kali stifled a giggle.
"Yeah, I was trying to tell you that. Hold on, I'll get your stuff and then you can change in the bathroom." Kali didn't wait for a response; she marched right into the laundry room and grabbed Gray's clothes. He was still bright red when she returned.
"Here ya go, flip Kai off for me on the way out!" Kali said brightly as Gray ran upstairs to change. She walked to the refrigerator and pulled out an apple. Kali munched on the apple, content and unusually cheery. Gray ran back downstairs and put Kai's clothes on the couch. He then ran out the door.
"G'bye Gray!" Kali yelled, accidentally spitting apple on the floor. She watched Gray run outside and ignore Kai's comments. He then flipped Kai off and ran into the square. Kai scowled at Kali through the window. She smiled back and waved. She grabbed the radio from a table and turned it on to the weather.
"Bright skies today, very hot in the 90's," Kali turned it off and jumped up and down. She loved hot weather.
"Kali, are you coming out here anytime today?" Kai yelled from outside.
"Yeah, definitely! Do you want your bathing suit?" Kali yelled back.
"Yeah, we'll have a race! And you'll lose," Kai said. "Hurry!" Kali ran up the stairs and grabbed Kai's bathing suit. She then realized her suit was still on their boat, so she ran back downstairs and outside.
"Hey, where's your suit?" Popuri asked. She was playing volleyball with Kai.
"In the boat. Here Kai," Kali replied and tossed Kai the suit. She ran onto the dock and opened the boat's doors. Her bathing suit was in the bathroom, hanging up. She changed quickly and went back outside.
"Cute suit, Kali!" Popuri said and walked over to her. Kali was wearing a bright pink bikini with black polka dots.
"Thanks. Yours is pretty cool too," Kali said as she removed her bandana and her hair instantly fell into her eyes. Popuri giggled and hopped back to Kai. Kali put her bandana on the boat deck and tied her hair back in a tight pony tail. Kai walked over and jumped in.
"Come on Kali, get in!" he said to her as Popuri jumped in. Popuri shrieked.
"It's sooo cold!" She shivered and attempted to get out. Kai pulled her back in. Kali grinned and pushed her hair back again.
"Okay, ready or not, here I come!" She screamed and dove into the water.
