Of a Deep Blue Chapter 11

Kaira looked out the window. As the season entered into spring, the snow had melted but there was still a chilly wind blowing. Today was Valentine's Day. It was no surprised that she didn't get a Valentines gifts. The only people she really knew and talked to were the Bladebreakers. Kenny and Max weren't the kind of people who really gave out Valentines gifts. Tyson probably forgot. Hoshi was sick and Ray was taking care of her. They probably didn't even know that today was Valentine's Day; cause Hoshi couldn't enjoy it very well. Kai, well the day Kai gave chocolates well everyone wouldn't believe to being and that also would be the day that the sky turns purple and the world was coming to an end. Of course then again you never know with Kai. Though she wished that Kai would give her a Valentine. It would lift her spirits that there was a small chance that he liked her. No one even gave her candy in just a friendship symbol sort of sense or just wishing a happy Valentine's Day. Kaira was really looking towards though chocolate.

Her parents were away, again. She was in this semi-big house all by herself. *At least they remembered that I was still here,* she thought. Her parents were brilliant people, but they were one of the most absentminded parents anyone could meet. This past year they at least remembered to celebrate her birthday. Wondered if they're going to this year. Kaira's parents did send her a single rose with a note, wishing a Happy Valentine's Day and saying that they'll be home soon.

Kaira let out a sigh. She was looking forward to all those homemade chocolate and sweets. Suddenly the thought that she would buy some herself dawned on her. She had just got her allowance. Beside she could use the sugar. She just had to make sure that the Bladebreakers didn't find out about her new collection of chocolate. Who knows how they'll act? Hoshi she knew off the back would flip. *I wonder if Kai ever founded out about my little sugar high problem,* thought Kaira as she let out a small giggle, *Probably not.*

Grabbing her coat she made her way out of the house. She was going shopping for chocolate!

~*~

Hoshi blinked in disbelief as she tapped into her powers to see where her brother was since he wasn't home. What she found she didn't expect. Kai was at the mall at his own free will. He wasn't there with anyone else but himself. Hoshi thoughts turned into panic as reality hit her, *HE WAS THERE ON HIS OWN FREE WILL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* She fainted after that. Surprising isn't it?

~*~

Kai put away his wallet and told the clerk to sent the gifts to the Hiwatari house. He couldn't believe what he just did. Then again neither could Hoshi as she checked to see where he was. I guess it's true, love makes you do very strange things. He ordered that his gifts were sent home so that incase he ran into someone he knew they wouldn't ask anything. However, Kai highly doubt that Tyson would be asking today.

~*~Meanwhile~*~

A blue hair boy slept soundly in his new makeshift bed. Across the room a brown hair girl slept soundly too. I wonder when they'll wake up.

~*~

Kaira arrived at the mall. She headed towards the first candy store that she saw that happen to sell chocolate. Walking in, all she could do was stared at what was in front of her, or what was lacking to be in front of her. *Everyone must have bought candy this year,* she thought. Normally when she walked into this store it was filled with candy. There were rows of these little sugary sweets. All in different colors and shapes, each had a certain sweetness or sourness to them.

However today it was empty. Dry as a bone. The once filled containers that held these little sweets were empty. There were only crumbles and crackled little pieces left as the bottom of the containers. Even the Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans was sold out.

O.O "No way," said Kaira. "There is no way that every bit of candy in the store is sold out."

She headed towards the checkout counter. A man was standing there, reading the newspaper. "Excuse me but is there any chocolate left," she asked. The man looked up from his newspaper. "Sorry kid someone just bought the last bit a few minutes ago."

Kaira's eyes went wide. "What about gummy bears?"

"Nope."

"Jellybeans?"

"Nope."

"M & M?"

"Nope."

"Boston Baked Beans?"

"Nope."

"Snickers?"

"Nope."

"Nestles Crunch?"

"Nope."

"Air Heads?"

"Nope."

Kaira continued to name candy names off the top of her head. How was it possible for a candy store to run out of candy?! This when on for sometime.

~*~

Kai just walked aimlessly through the mall. He was planning to leave but something was keeping from leaving. How strange. *I just hope I don't meet anyone I know,* he thought. *Anyone would have a heart attack if they saw me here without having to be forced here.* He could image what his twin sister would say or what his teammates reaction would be. Tyson would be laughing in disbelief while Kenny and Ray checked to see if he was feeling away. Max would just stare as Hoshi entered a state of shock.

~*~

Little did he know that his sister was already in the state of shock. Hoshi still couldn't believe where her brother was at this time of the morning.

~*~

Kaira walked out of the third candy store she visited. Like the last one and the one before that, they were out of candy. There were some small pieces left but there was nothing that Kaira wanted, namely her chocolate. She wanted her chocolate! There was a soft sigh that came from her.

At the same time the slightly cold hearted captain was walked towards Kaira not even noticing that she and him were in the same place together, so much in as that they were going to walk into each other right about. now.

*Crash!*

Yup! Everything just fine and dandy now. Kai's day just took a turn for the worst, as Kaira's day got even better.

~*~

All the while a certain member of the Bladebreakers was pondering what to get his girlfriend for Valentine's Day.

~*~

Kai could not believe what was happening to him, heck he didn't even know how he got into this predicament. As of right now he was being dragged around by Kaira looking for a store that still had candy hold on let me rephrase that, a store that still had chocolate to be more exact in it. Someone how he ran into Kaira not too long ago and she ended up dragging him on this 'quest'. Kai let out a sigh. He should have gone home when he had a chance.

"C'mon Kai," Kaira said enthusiastically. "I already finish looking at three candy store, only a 147 left that I know of in this mall.

Kai groaned. Yes he should have left the mall when he had a chance too.

~*~

Kai lead against the wall as Kaira was talking to owner of the store, trying to find out if they has any candy left.

"Sour Strawberry Strips?"

"Nope."

"Sour Watermelon Strips?"

"Nope?"

"Mini M & M?"

"Nope?"

"Strawberry Puffs?"

"Look missy there ISN'T ANY CANDY LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kai let out a sigh. This was the 10th store they had visited today or was it the 11th. Kai wasn't sure he stopped counting around the 7th store. This was going to be a very long, long, long, day from him.

~*~

They soon left that store in search for another. Kaira had almost been kick out (literally) by the owner of the store because he found her so annoying. Kai had to step in to make sure the owner didn't do anything to Kaira. (Kaira: Yay! Thanks Kai. And what do you expect. I want my chocolate. NB: -.- **Sigh** Kaira. Kaira: What?)

So now Kai was once again being dragged around. Still wondering how he got into this mess, Kai was trying to figure out a way to get of this without hurting Kaira. He knew if he just left or attempted leave she would wonder where he went. He told her he was leaving she would take it the wrong way. In other words break out crying. Well now that he thought about Kaira won't break out crying but still if she did Kai wouldn't have the will power to resist. Much like the puppy eyes his sister gives him. Two thing Kai couldn't stand up against, puppy eyes from his sister and Kaira and crying from his sister and Kaira.

Suddenly they stopped. Kai nearly bumped into Kaira again. Wondering why they stopped he looked at the same direction as Kaira. His heart dropped a bit. In the window was a big chocolate heart, decorated with whitish/silver icing. Next to it was another heart the same size but with light blue and white icing. Around the two hearts were four smaller hearts, each one had a different color icing, blue, purple, green, yellow. Then there was a slightly bigger heart than those small ones with red icing.

"Yes," shouted Kaira happily. "Finally a store that has chocolate." She dragged Kai towards the store, completely unaware to what Kai was muttering under his breath.

Kaira walked up to the counter. "Um excuse me Ms. But how much is that big chocolate in the window?"

The lady looked at her. "The one with the white icing or the blue and white?"

"Any of them."

"Um the big ones would be 10.50 and the small one 5.50 and the medium size 7.50 but however those the two big ones in the window were already purchase."

Kaira's heart fell. Behind Kai was cursing under his breath. I wonder why? "How 'bout the other hearts," Kaira asked, a small hope growing inside of her.

The lady shook her head. "Nope sorry. Those were brought too."

"Do you have any more?"

"Sorry those are the last ones."

The last of Kaira's hope shatter or at least the hope she had when she walked into the store. She knew that there had to be one store in this mall that still had chocolate.

~*~

Kai was cursing under his breath. Things just weren't going his way today. Nope. Kaira just had to spot the window with the six chocolate hearts didn't she? At least no one recognize him yet.

~*~

Poor, poor Kai. Fate seems to be against him, no?

~*~

Kaira walked out of that store, feeling very depressed. Why shouldn't she be? She finally found some chocolate only to find out that someone had bought those chocolate hearts already. *Maybe I should have come early to the mall,* she thought glumly. *But it was only 8:00 o-clock when I arrived here. Most stores don't even open until eight anyway. So why is every store I got to, doesn't even have one piece of chocolate in them? I want my chocolate!*

She took a seat on a nearby bench. Kai took this time to go to a snack bar.

Kaira continue to be depressed. When suddenly she found a cup of what looked like hot chocolate being given to her. She looked up to see it was Kai giving it to her.

"Here," he said. His voice was firm and held no arguments. Kaira took the cup. Hot chocolate was better than no chocolate. However Kaira still wanted her chocolate. She sipped from the cup and instead of the familiar semi- sweet taste of hot coco she was greeted with a bitter warm taste. Kaira looked at Kai to see the same confusion on his face.

"I think they screwed up the order. This is coffee," she said. Kai let out a sigh and stood up.

"Here let me have that. I'll change the order," he said.

Kaira shook her head. "That okay," she said. "I like coffee better anyway. Thank you."

Kai looked at her in disbelief before sitting back down. If Kaira wanted coffee than he was going to let her have that.

~*~

Big mistake, Kai.

~*~

Kai couldn't believe his eyes. Kaira was now very, very, very, VERY, *VERY* hyper. There were a few reason to tell how. To start she was practically jumping off the walls. There was a bounce in her step and she had this odd gleam in her eyes when she look at things. Not too mention her death grip. *I think the blood in my arm stopped circulating,* he thought.

After Kaira had drank her coffee she went crazy. Now Kai is once again being dragged through the mall as Kaira's determination to find chocolate doubled no tripled because she was caffeine high. Of course he couldn't say no to her when she asked, especially after the puppy eyes and quivering of the lip.

Once again Kai let out a sigh and wonder how on earth he got into this mess.

~*~

"Um Jeeve I'm going out now," said Hoshi.

The faithful butler of the Hiwatari household just block the door before saying, "I'm terribly sorry Mistress Hoshi, but your brother Master Kai has forbidden you to leave. You're still recovering from your cold and Master Kai doesn't want you to have a relapse."

"But."

"No buts, Mistress Hoshi. You need your rest."

"But."

"Now, now, Mistress Hoshi back into bed for you."

"But."

"Orders are orders, Mistress Hoshi."

"But."

"Let's make this easy on ourselves."

"But."

Jeeve didn't say anything but started ushered her back into her bed.

~*~

"Cola stripes?"

"Nope."

"Chocolate Covered Raisin?"

"Nope."

"Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears?"

"Nope."

"White Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears?"

"Nope."

"Jawbreakers?"

"Nope."

"Pop Rock?"

"Nope."

"Milky Way?"

"Nope."

"Three Musketeer?"

"Nope."

"Is there anything here?"

"Nope."

"WHAT?!"

Kai let out another sigh. Kaira was terrorizing the owner of another candy store. It was about 11 in morning they had already visited 50 different stores and 32 candy stores. Yes this is going to be a very long day. Then Kai sneezed. *Someone must be talking about me,* he thought.

~*~

"I can't I go out," asked Hoshi.

"I'm sorry Mistress but your brother will not hear of it," said Jeeves.

"But."

"We went over this Mistress. No Buts."

Hoshi just pouted.

~*~Meanwhile~*~

A certain blader and a girl were fuming mad.

~*~

Kai tried very hard to suppressed groan. He was tried and he had every right to be. Kaira went ballistic after drinking that coffee. Caffeine high. She had dragged him all over the mall in search of her chocolate. Incase you're wondering, Kaira never found her chocolate.

*Mental Note: NEVER EVER give Kaira coffee AGAIN,* thought Kai. He collapsed on his bed. It was late at night and he had just gotten home. His eyes drifted over to what he bought this morning.

*Now or never,* he thought. He grabbed what he bought and leaped out the window.

~*~

Kaira let a sigh. Valentine's Day had come and gone and still no chocolate for her. She ran into Kenny and Max on the way home. They both gave her a box of the Valentine Heart candy and wished her a happy Valentine's Day. However, that wasn't what she wanted. She wanted her chocolate!

"I guess someone really didn't want me to buy chocolate today," said Kaira. She had just reached the door of her house when she saw something.

A dozen red roses all wrapped up in a bouquet with a silver ribbon tied around it, laid on her doorstep. Next to it laid the heart with whitish/silver icing. Oh the heart in the same color of icing it said, Happy Valentine Day.

"Where.who.how," stammered a stun Kaira. It shocked her to find this here. She picked up the roses and chocolate her. The sweet smell of the roses filled her. *It smells so sweet,* she thought. She opened the door to her house and walked in.

Just before she closed the door she looked at the full moon that hung outside for tonight. "Thank you," she whispered to the winds.

If she had looked up she would have seen a white scarf disappearing over the rooftop.

~*~

Kaira: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.

Kai: AND WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT SHE GOES CAFFEINE HIGH?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ray: You never asked.

**Whispered to Ray** NB: Do you think we should tell him about the sugar high.

Ray: No well at least not now.

Hiei: It's actually okay in here.

Yusuke: Well it's better then outside with those fan girls.

Kurama: True, True.

Hidemi: I thought you guys had training with Genkai.

Yusuke: We did but we left.

Hidemi: Oh.

NB: Please Review and we'll see you next time. ^_~ Also Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years! **Hands out Christmas cookies so that everyone can have a bit of fun this Christmas.**
