Where Would I Be? Chapter Four: Who Knew?

Dual-kun: Ack, sorry, I never noticed the last chappie was so...short. I had a difficult time writing it, my brain was crowded with evil things to do to my bro. Well I'm going to try to make up for it in this chappie. I'm doing it from Rei's POV, and then I might change it to normal POV...who knows.

Rei: Yeah the last chapter was pretty short...

Dual-kun: Yeah, whatever...Oh yes, I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE OR ANY OF IT'S MANY GREAT CHARACTERS!

Rei: on with the story! ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sighed heavily. Monday had already come and gone and I found myself walking alone to my dorm. I hoped I might have found Kai to walk home with me but no luck. I think that he's in the Gifted program, and they have to stay behind for their club on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

I trudged slowly on making my way to the dorm. It was up here to the left. I made sure I'd memorized it this morning. I didn't want to make myself look anymore of a ditz in Kai's eyes than I already do.

I blushed, my mind wandering to the sweet smile I received from him (Kai) at Café Catz. I shook my head, which only made me feel lightheaded. Dammnit, I cursed to myself as I clumsily made it up the three treacherous steps.

I pulled out my key and fumbled with it before sticking it in its hole in the knob of the door. I pushed it open and threw my bag on the bed; it bounced lightly before sitting fondly in place. I shuffled over to the TV and picked up the small remote busying myself to watch the local News. Always good to know what's going on in the world.

I stood and went to the small kitchen; I pulled out a coke and popped it open. I heard it fizz before taking a quick slug. I walked out back into the livingroom/bedroom area and began to unbutton my black school uniform top.

I pulled it off and replaced it with a light white cotton tee. I looked to my bed, and then to my book bag that rested there, waiting. So I complied, and began to walk slowly and unwantingly to the call of the damned book bag.

I picked it up; it was heavy from the many books rested within. Damn you, I thought. I will not succumb to your call, cursed inanimate object. But I did just that, I began my homework.

It wasn't hard, twenty math problems and a small essay (5 paragraphs) on what I thought of the book 'The Giver' (A/N: I LOVE that book) by Lois Lowry. I quickly, to my own shock, finished the problems easily and went to the stupid essay.

I had to admit; I really like the book 'The Giver.' It makes you think, I mean really think. I'm not to fond of the way it ends, but otherwise it's a perfect book. I scribbled madly away in my sloppy manuscript. And slid the finished homework into my agenda and put my bag away on the floor beside the desk.

I looked at the clock, which glared back in big digital red numbers: 6:00 P.M. Odd, I thought glancing to the door. Kai should be back by now. I stood slowly, think that he might just suddenly appear and I'd be worrying over nothing.

Wait. Why was I worrying about Kai? He probably had a girlfriend and was attending to her every need, either that or making out somewhere with her. I sighed, oddly enough, those thoughts hurt.

I cursed any girl who was with him, and grabbed a white towel, heading for the shower. I quickly showered then hopped out (no I mean literally hopped out) and quickly combed my long hair.

I looked through the fogged mirror before prancing out (not literally this time) and hurriedly dressing. Normally I'd at least shower for half an hour (hey that rhymed! I'm a poet!), but I was being rushed.

Why, you ask? Well oddly enough I needed Kai. And I needed him NOW. I felt a tinge of possessiveness run through me. Why did I need him? And why now? Why at all? And why Kai?

Crazy thoughts bounced back and forth until he landed on one: I'm hungry. I growled at myself, but I was slightly happy I could get my mind off the silver-blue haired boy at the moment.

I walked slowly to the phone, picking it up before hesitating. What if Kai didn't like the same kind of pizza as he did? He heard the humming tone emitting from the phone. What if he didn't like pizza at all?

Just then, as if by heaven sent, Kai walked in. He sighed heavily, threw his things down and looked up at me. I was stunned and I slowly put the phone down till I heard a click. Kai looked at me and cocked an eyebrow.

I blushed; I seemed to be making a habit of that lately. "Hi Kai" I said hesitantly. Was he mad with me?

Kai looked around. "Haven't you ordered food yet?"

I looked at him, stunned once more. Then I got angry-of all things, I got angry. "So what, I'm supposed to order food and wait patiently for your return sitting here each night with food? I'm not your house-wife!" I was louder than I was intended to be, and I wasn't quite sure he understood.

He stood there starring blankly. I stared back now, same blank look. I blushed (yes again) and lowered my head. "I'm sorry, I kind of lost my temper."

"Yeah, kind of," he said coldly.

I looked up, feeling like an abused dog. Had he just used that tone with me? Never before had this happened...has it? Maybe it has and I blotted it out...did I? I winced slightly, it hurt him, what I said hurt him.

"Look Kai, I'm really sorry. I have no excuse for going off like that...I'm really sorry and of all people I shouldn't have gone off on you...can you forgive me?" I asked mumbling the last part.

Kai looked up. I could see it he was...surprised? Oh well, at least I got SOME kind of reaction. I, as of now, consider Kai my newfound friend. And I Rei Kon now heartily take on the position of being Kai's friend.

"What were you doing? I mean before you came here?" I asked slightly, making sure not to provoke the guy, he might have a temper.

"I was at a class meeting" Kai answered blandly. I guess he forgives me...?

"Oh, are you class president?"

"No, I'm just obliged to go since I'm at the top of my class" Kai answered beginning his homework.

Who would've known? Kai being the 'top of his class,' more like 'THE NUMBER ONE STUDENT (AND THE ONLY DECENT ONE) OF HIS WHOLE FREAKIN' CLASS.' Or at least that's what I think.

I stopped there, not wanting to disturb the other boy's studies. This will be the beginning of a great relationship...Did I say that? I mean FRIENDSHIP.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dual-kun: YAY! I'm so happy, Rei's a sly one isn't he? I wanted to make Rei seem a little innocent, but not TOO innocent. He has the personality of a cat after all. I want him to seem more along the lines of a good friend, loyal and open-minded. I will get more into his character later on, but now I have to work on Kai, except next chappie to be all Kai and nothing but Kai.

Rei: What about thanking the reviewers?

Dual-kun Oh yeah...

Catty Hiwatari: Done! Thank you!

Slyslicra: Thank you, I like it too!

Fluffys-sidesick: (I like the name) Oh? Looks like Kai has a fan? Ah nothing new. Yeah I made Rei seem like he's the kind of person that can get under your skin easily, and yes we are ALL weird in our own way.

LoneWolfStar7: Hmmm...I don't know are we? Yeah we are, and Kai just can't seem to deal...Poor Rei...

Santurion1: Oooooooooooo! PLEASE DO! You've already all mad my day! Just make tomorrow too! Hee hee, thank you!

Shaka Dragomir Nocturnus: Well wait no more!

Kaiiko-chan: You like it? Really you do? I'm soooo happy! I'll make sure now that I have readers that I can update as soon as possible, k?

Platinum Rei: Hey! I'm a Gemini! Maybe Rei is? Who knows, maybe I will make him one, but currently it's autumn and no where near May, ode well, I will make him quite the talkative one though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dual-kun: I just, uh, wanted to say something, for those who didn't notice, the thing with Lee...yeah that's important, so remember it. Kay? That's all the hint I'm giving you, but just keep him in mind, though he doesn't seem to pop up that much yet, wait till later on, k? Well laters! Byes!
