Chapter 10

AO: YAY! Finally finished writing this chapter.....lol...I know, I know it took 4ever but I'm slow :S

Arimi: Darn right you are!

AO: oh! Shove it! I got word block (as Chel would call it)

Arimi: excuses, excuse shakes head

I woke up still hugging Kai but he felt cold and wasn't breathing. I opened my eyes and saw to my relief it was not Kai but a pillow. Rubbing my eyes, I sat up on the bed and looked around, to see no one was there, but on the corner of the bed there was a pile of clothes. Moving closer I noticed a note on top of it.


'Here's some clothes to change into. Breakfast will be ready soon -Kai' It read. It was just like something he'd write; short and simple.

The clothes that he left were beautiful, they were mainly white. The skirt reached just pasted my knees, covering that wound I got falling. The shirt was at bit low cut and was long sleeved so that it covered my arms. On the shirt there was a beautiful. There was a dragon that started on the shirt and connected onto the skirt. Kind of like one of those goth chain things, except it was a dragon instead (im way 2 lazy 2 describe it more). it was the only black in the outfit. The whole outfit sat perfectly.

I made my way downstairs, and to the kitchen without getting lost by following the smell of food.

Entering the kitchen I saw Kai making pancakes.

"I didn't know you could cook."

He shrugged putting them into a plate and placing them on the table. He pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. He made his way to the other side of the table and sat down too.

"These clothes are beautiful. Where did you get them?" I asked.

"They were my mother's when she was young."

"I've never meet your mother. I hope she's nicer then your grandfather," I said thinking about when I first met Voltaire.

"She was," he answered simply.

"She was?" I asked.

"She died when I was nine, so did my father," he asked, his voice was emotionless.

"Oh....I'm sorry I brought it up," I apologized.

"It's ok you didn't know," he said smiling, trying to show me that it was ok.

I basically melted in my seat "God! He's hot!" I thought. Yup I obviously had no problem with admitting it. (A/N: Man that did not sound like I wrote it...no clue where I was getting at with that but whatever this chapter gets better...just wrote that in 'cause.....well I don't really know why.....meh...it's all the same)

"I should probably get home, my mom's probably really worried by now..." I said when we were finished eating.

He frowned, "Are you sure you want to go back?"

"Well, I guess I don't really have to stay. I'll just tell me mom where I am," I said. I really didn't want to go back ever, but I needed to check up on my mom and sister. I felt sorry for leaving them there with him, especially when he was drunk.

He nodded.

"You'll come in with me right?"

"Of course, I told you I won't let anything happen to again." (So corny...eww!!!! I did it again!....lol..I'm turning into one of THEM!!!....u probably don't know what I mean by them...but it's a long story.... inside joke thingy.)

I smiled, "Ok, Come on let's go."

-!-!-!-!-!-!Arimi's house!-!-!-!-!-!

Kai parked his car on the street, seeing as my house's parking lot was totally blocked off. There was police cars park on the driveway and police officers going in and out of the house.

"What the?" I said getting out of the car and running towards the house. An officer came to stop me.

"Sorry ma'am but you can not enter."

"I live here!" I yelled. At this point I was really panicking; police officers, reporters and yellow tape around my house that never equals anything good, especially with a drunk as a father.

My mother and sister came out when they heard me yelling, pushing passed the officer I ran towards them. "Thank god!" I yelled hugging them. I had thought they'd been killed or something.

"What happened? Why are there police officers everywhere?" I asked letting go of them.

"Your father...." my mom said, "He's....dead."

"Died?" I asked shocked.

My sister nodded. When the information finally passed through my head, I couldn't help but let out a smile. That may be a little mean but hey, if you had some asshole that only tortured you all your life, wouldn't you be at least a little happy when you find out the bastard's dead?

"But....Arimi.....they think you did it." my mother said.

"Me? But......but...." I trailed off as I thought off yesterday night.

"Maybe that hit on the head killed him..." I said talking to myself and not even realizing it.


"So you admit you hit him?" a voice came from behind me and I snapped back into reality. I turned my head to see a short man, wearing a brown suit and holding a notepad and pen.

"Well did you hit him?" He asked again.

"Listen short man! I don't need this right now!" I yelled at him, thinking that he was just a journalist or something and boy was I ever wrong!

"Excuse me? Did you just call me short man?"

"Ya got a problem with that?! What the hell do you think you are listening in on our-"

"Arimi!" my mom yelled interrupting me, "That's detective Sanchez, He the guy investigating you father's death."

"A detective?" Great! Now I'm really screwed! How did a day that started off so perfectly end up like this?

"Yes, a detective,"

"I'm sorry, I thought you were a reporter or something."

"Ya...." he said jotting something down on his notepad. "Back to the question, Did you strike your father?"

"Ummm........well ya but-" I started but was once again interrupted.

"I think we should talk more down at the precinct."

Precinct

"I didn't do it!" I yelled again. "At least I don't think I did....."

"Then who did?" the detective asked once again, "His blood was found under your finger nails." (From when she scratched him across the face) Detective Sanchez yelled once again.

"If you don't tell us the truth we can't help you," his partner said, The old good cop, bad cop routine, it didn't work very well but it gets really annoying once they've been questioning you for 3 hours.

"I told you I didn't do it!" I said for about the millionth time that day.

"Ya right. That's not what the evidence says"

"Ya and the hell does the stupid evidence tell ya!" I yelled, probably not the smartest thing to do but like I said I've been there for three hours.

"Well let's see. Your father was found dead on the couch and because he's so much bigger then you, you must have took him by surprise from behind." The detective Sanchez started.

"The couch? But when I knocked him out we were in the hallway," I thought, I didn't really want to say anything cause it could incriminate me even more.

"So from behind you tried to suffocate him with a pillow, seeing as how we found fibers from the pillow in throat but he was too strong and managed to get lose so you scratched him across the face and reaching for the lamp you stroke him on the head as hard as possible."

"It didn't happen that way!"

"No? Then what did happen?"

"Iwasathomeandhecamebackdrunk!hetriedtorapemesoihithimontheheadwith....wellidon'treallyknowwithwhatcauseiranoutofthereassoonasicould," I said as quickly as possible, I was never really good at talking about these kind of stuff.

"Would you like to say that again?"

I took a deep breath. "I can do this it ain't that hard," I thought starting to repeat what I said but in more detail.

"...so then I ran to Kai's house." I finished when a man can through the door.

"Who are you?" the detective asked.

"I'm Miss Suzuki's attorney. This meeting's over, charge her or let her go." the man said.

"Sorry but the law says that we have a right to question her,"

"For 3 hours? That's more of an integration."

"Well sorry but your-" just then there was a knock at on the mirror. (You know how there's those one way mirrors things in precincts )

"Why don't you two take a minute to talk," the 'good' cop said as they both left the room.

3rd Person's P.O.V.

The two detectives walked into the next room where their boss was watching the interrogation.

"I think that's she's innocent, we should let her go." the detective said coming in.

"Please, you believe that story ?" detective Sanchez said.

"But did you see all those cuts on her arms, there fresh probably given by her father like she said,"


"Your too soft, you can't believe everything you hear these days."

"What do you think?" she said turning to their boss, who happened to be talking on the phone.

"One sec," he said to them. "I think that she's innocent, and even if she wasn't there isn't enough evidence, all we have is some blood and that goes with her story. We don't even have a motive," he argued with the man on the phone.

"I don't really care if she's innocent or not! Just charge her!"

"But-"

"Remember that I could put you into jail with just one phone call and you'll never see your wife or children again," the man threatened. "Just charge her," he demanded once again and then the phone went dead.

Hanging up the phone, he sighed. "Charge her....." he said.

"But sir you just said we didn't have enough evidence on the phone with that person."

"Just do it!" he yelled storming out of the room.

"Arimi Suzuki your under arrest for the murder of John Suzuki. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to represent you," the detective said as he handcuffed Arimi.

Kai's P.O.V.

"What's taking so long? They've been in there for hours," I thought waiting for Arimi. "They couldn't possibly arrest her, it was self defense."

I sat there for what seemed like forever, it was getting dark out.

I saw one of the detectives that took Arimi in come out of a room.

"Hey, wait!" I called after him.

"What?" he answer sounding stressed.

"What happened to Arimi?"

"Arimi? Sorry kid they are hundreds of people who come through here everyday,"

"The girl you brought in, you thought that she murdered her father,"

"Oh! Miss Suzuki," he said finally remembering. "She was arrested a couple of hours ago," he answered about to walk away.

"What?" Kai said grabbing him arm, "But she didn't do it!"

"Listen kid, there's nothing I can do about it, it's up to a jury now. Just go home." he said pulling his arm from my grasp and walking away.

"What do I do? I can't just leave her in there?" I thought. I stayed there thinking till the building closed. Then finally I decided to go home.

I slid my key into the door and quietly opened it. The house was pitch black. I made my way to my room, but as pasted the living room a felt the presence of someone.

"You've finally come home, Kai." an evil old voice came.

I look at the chair in the living room and could see the outline of someone. "Hello, grandfather."

"So how's your girlfriend?" he asked.

"Girlfriend?"

"Don't deny it, I saw you two last night," he said disgusted.

I fell silent. "What does he want me to say so that I can get out of here?"

"So, is she enjoying jail?" he laughed.

"How the hell did you know about that?"

"Kai, I know everything," he said calmly.

"Wait! You did this didn't you! You set up Arimi!"

"You've always been a smart kid," he said amused.

"What do you want?"

"I thought you would have already known that,"

"Just tell me!" I yelled frustrated.

"Simply for you to marry Serenity,"

"Your still on that?"


"Think about Kai, if my company and the Wheeler's company were to combine we'd form the greatest business known, but the only way I'll have access into all there data is if you marry Serenity,"

"Never!"

"Well then your little friend can just root in prison,"

I sighed, "Fine,"

"Good, good," he said talking out a piece of paper and pen, "Just sign here and I'll get her out,"

I signed it and he took the paper away quickly. Picking up the phone he dialed a couple of numbers.

"Hello?" someone picked up.

"Let her out now," he said hanging up.

Arimi's P.O.V.

I laid on the bed in a 6 by 4 feet cell. Right beside my head was a toilet that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. There was basically no lights at all.

"So this is the next years of my life? I'm not sure I know what's better, having to live with my idiotic dad or being here, with a bunch of rapists, murderers and pedophiles." I spend the next hours thinking about how I was going to survive in that place, especially when I have to actually meet the people who are in here. I had basically accepted the fact that I was stuck here. I talked to that lawyer of mine and he's a complete idiot. My mom probably couldn't afford to get a better one so I was basically doomed.

The cell door opened slowly and a voice came, "You're free to go,"

I opened my eyes, "Did I hear that right?" I thought sitting up and looking at the door, there stood a an officer. "You can go," he repeated again.

"What? But how?"

"All charges have been dropped," he said, "Get up, you can get out of here now,"

I didn't need to be told again, Quickly scrambling to my feet, the officer lead my out of that place.

I finally got out of that building after signing some papers to get my clothes and stuff back. Exiting the building I saw Kai there waiting for me. I ran up to him and hugged him as hard as I could.

"Come on, you should get home and rest." he said and I let go of him. He opened the car door for me and I got in. Seconds later he drove off.

"How do I tell her?" Kai thought the whole way to my place.

We finally arrived at my place and Kai parked the car. "Ummm....Arimi I have to tell you something...."

"Yes? What is it?" I asked. "What's wrong? He's acting so weird"

"I think we should stop seeing each other...." he said quickly. (Can I say that? They never really went out cause they got together like last night but whatever you get what I'm saying)

"What? But why?"

"Break up with her and don't tell her anything else. I can put her back in jail as fast as I got her out," Kai remembered the words of his grandfather.

"I just think it's for the better," he said trying to hide his emotions.

I open the car door and ran out. I could fell the tears coming to my eyes and I would not like him see me crying over him.

Not ready to go inside yet I sat on the front porch, whipping away the tears.

"Stop crying," I told myself "it's my own fault anyways, I broke my own rule and trusted a guy. I'll never make that mistake again! All guys are jerks, like my father. Egoistic, selfish, hormone-drived, bastards. I can't believe I actually thought I found one that wasn't. Shows how stupid I am." when I was finished convincing myself that I didn't need Kai or any other man in my life I finally decided to get into the house.

"Arimi! They let you out!" my mother said hugging me tight.

"Ummm.....ya. Sorry I didn't call or anything...." I said.

"It's ok as long as you safe!"

"Ya....can you let go of me now?" I asked, I was glad to see her and all but I really wasn't in the mood for all this mushy junk.

"Is something the matter, dear?" my mother asked worried as she let go of me.

"No, I'm just tired that's all. I think I'm going to take a bath and then get some sleep," I said going to my room.

"Ok, honey, good night," I heard her say as I entered my room.

"Screw it!" I said, "I'm too tired to take a bath, I'll do it in the morning before school," I said falling onto my bed and dozing off.

AO: lol.....that was the shortest relationship ever! It hardly lasted a day.

Arimi: Shut up! It's your fault!

AO: Hey! It's ain't my fault that you can't keep a guy.

Arimi: At least I can get a guy

AO: I can too.... thinking no I can't thinking

Arimi: Ya right! Then you haven't you ever had a boyfriend?

AO: Am I suppose to want one?

Arimi: Normal pplz do.

AO: Do I act normal to you?

Arimi: Good point.....

Arimi: Did I just enter kindergarten?
