Chapter 19: I'm worried about Kai!!!

Alexis woke up at 2:00 in the morning after the reunion. She was snuggled up in bed at Kai's

house all warm and cozy, but she couldn't fall asleep. Alexis climbed out of bed and decided to

take a walk though the hallway. Alexis passed Ray's room whom he shared with Lee. Driger was

in Ray's hand while he slept. Lee on the other hand was buried in the covers. Mariah and Emily's

room was next they were both on their back sleeping just fine. Then she passed Gary and Eddy's

room and then Michael and Steven's room. Then she stopped by Kai's room, Kai wasn't there.

"Alexis? What are you doing up so early?" said Kai behind her.

"Couldn't sleep, you?" said Alexis dully.

"I was thirsty, are you scared about what Rad told you?" asked Kai.

"Yea, sort of. I mean if it was anyone else, It wouldn't be this way," said Alexis.

"What do you mean?" asked Kai.

"I remember it clearly, there was about 16 other girls and boy where we were told to meet Mr.

Dickenson for the tryout of the Bladebreakers. Over all of them he chose me. Now it was a waste,

now you and me are in danger," said Alexis, tears coming to her eyes.

"Come on into my room," said Kai.

Alexis was pushed into Kai's room and she sat on the bed crying. Kai let her rest. She was

snuggled up to him at the edge of the bed. They moved back to reach the pillows, by then Alexis

was fast asleep. Kai placed her down.

"This is what you really need now," said Kai softly and fell asleep.

Emily woke up around 8:00 and usually Mariah was already awake but when she passed

Ray's room to get to Kai's she saw her snuggled up to Ray. When Emily reached Kai's room he

saw Alexis with him, both fast asleep.

"How cute, the lone wolf finally got himself a sweetheart," said Emily.

"Emily? What are you doing?"

Ray and Mariah were awake.

"Shhhhhh!! Come take a look yourselves. They are so precious," whispered Emily, stepping away

from the door. Ray and Mariah peeked in.

"You're right Emily, they are precious," said Mariah.

"Since when does Kai do this?" said Ray silently.

Soon one by one, everyone woke up. Ray, Mariah and Emily didn't mention anything about

Kai and Alexis. Kai came down looking very calm. He was already dressed in his usual clothes.

"Hey Kai, can I talk to you outside for a moment?" asked Ray.

"Alright," said Kai.

They went into a room far away from the kitchen, as possible."

"So how's Alexis?" said Ray with a smile on his face.

"Ray if you tell anyone, I swear...." said Kai.

"Emily and Mariah know too, but the rest don't know it yet," said Ray.

"You better not tell them!" said Kai.

"Morning!"

Alexis had woken up and she rushed down the stairs to give Kai a hug.

"Hi Alexis," he said blushing dark red. "Sleep well?"

"Yea, no nightmares," said Alexis, gripping onto Kai's hand. "I'm starved let's go get something to

eat."

She dragged Kai into the kitchen.

"Well, she seems to be enjoying this. She better not tell them or else she's going to be in deep

trouble," said Ray and walked into the kitchen.

"Morning everyone!" said Alexis, finally letting go of Kai's arm.

"Morning Alexis, you slept well," said Emily, giggling.

"What's the matter, Emily?" she said sternly.

"Oh nothing," she said with cheer in her voice.

"So anyways what's up for today?" asked Michael.

"I'm not doing anything special," said Kai.

"Neither," said Emily and Mariah together.

"I doubt anybody has anything to do," said Lee.

"Yea, probably," said Ray.

"Alexis, Mariah, how about we go shopping! I saw a mall near here, when I got here, plus there

are plenty of boys here to carry bags," said Emily.

"Come on boys," said the girls.

Ring, ring.

The telephone rang, Kai picked it up.

"Hello? What do you want Tyson? You're now taking practicing seriously? Oh fine. I don't think

Alexis wants to come, the girls are going on a shopping spree and... I know, let her have a day

off, alright see you," said Kai.

"Who was that Kai?" asked Alexis.

"Tyson, he and the rest of the kids are having a tournament and want me to watch," said Kai.

"Oh," whinned Alexis.

"You don't have to come, I told Tyson about your shopping spree, they said it's alright to give

you a day off," said Kai.

"To bad, I wanted you to come," said Alexis.

"I'd better go, and Alexis, make sure I get a laugh when I get home," whispered Kai into her ear.

"Like that will ever happen," she said to herself as Kai went out the door.
