"Hey Bizzy, Do you want any of these pancakes?" Said a male voice from the kitchen.
"Sure thing Dad!" Elisabeth replied.
"Blueberry or Chocolate chip?"
"Need you even ask? Why, chocolate chip of course!"
"Okay then!" He chuckled, "How about you Tally?"
"Anything Elisabeth is having, Mr. N!" Tally's muffled voice replied.
She and Elisabeth were getting dressed to the wonderful smell of Mr. Naegino making breakfast for the three of them. They did this a lot and he always made pancakes, hash browns, sausages, bacon and eggs. They just couldn't tire of them!
Elisabeth walked out of the door and Tally followed. They walked down the familiar steps to the kitchen. Elisabeth looked happily at the smiling figure that was her father.
Elisabeth woke up bolt upright in a cold sweat. Kai was looking at her. She apparently had caught him half dressed, as he has just pulled up his trousers and was shirtless.
She didn't care. She couldn't get the image of her father from her mind. She placed her head in her hands, breathing heavily. She didn't want to wake anyone. It seemed to be just herself and Kai awake.
She shook her head and sighed. She looked up again and Kai gave her a piece of paper. She looked curiously after him as she opened the shred of paper. On it was scribbled, 'meet me outside.'
She looked curiously again at where he had just been.
She walked outside of the dojo doors, fully dressed and looked around for Kai.
[Elisabeth's POV]
What could he possibly want me for? Hmm. I'd better find him quick. My curiosity might get the better of me if I don't.
I walked around the house to find him. Like I'd assumed, he stood at the very edge around the corner.
He looked at me. His maroon eyes were so....
[End of Elisabeth's POV]
[Kai's POV]
She's coming around the corner. She'd better talk. At least a little. I can't go easy on her all the time.
Here she is I guess. I looked straight at her. I meant business.
[End of Kai's POV]
Elisabeth decided she'd break the silence first.
"You wanted to see me?" She asked quietly.
He turned around and started walking.
This startled Elisabeth. She didn't know whether or not to follow him until...
"Are you coming or what?" He asked gruffly.
"..o...kay..." She stammered.
She walked quietly with her head down. It was five minutes before she asked where they were going. He silenced her with a glance.
She resumed her silence and it was another ten minutes before he stopped.
"What are we doing in front of the warehouse?" She asked.
"Going in." He replied shortly.
They walked inside and he slammed the door behind her.
She winced.
=So much for chivalry.= She said inside her head.
:Quiet!: Drydzia said to her, :This will be important: She added and was gone.
She simply stood there and waited for him to say something. Its was he who had wanted to see her in the first place.
He turned to face her.
"I don't want to force you into telling me what you don't want to," Kai began, "But I should at least know the basics. Can I ask how you started living with your aunt?"
She stayed completely still and silent. She was thoughtful. She couldn't figure out quite yet how to start. =I suppose I'll start with my dad= She thought to herself.
"My dad was the greatest. He made breakfast for Tally and I. She stayed over whenever we wanted. It used to be just us though. Bizzy and Theo. I loved that he called me Bizzy.
"Anyway, when my father was murdered, I ran away for a while. When the police caught up with me, I was thousands of miles from what was home. They brought me to court and found files of the custody and divorce between my Dad and my Step-mom. So that means they found out I had a step-mom. They sent me to wherever she was, which was at my aunt's house."
He blinked. "..I..."
"My aunt's house is where drake was. My step-mom only filed for custody of me for the payments she'd receive from my dad. She hates me now that he's dead and so do my aunt and cousin."
"What about—"
She interrupted him. "In order for me to keep living there, I have to follow ridiculous rules, buy what I eat, Clean up after and take care of my dog, which I don't mind doing and all this other stuff. If I mess up, that's what happens. Except Andrew doesn't usually show up." She added with her head down.
"I had no idea."
"I didn't expect you too." She said shortly.
There was complete silence as Kai took in everything she has said.
"How long was it before they caught you?" He asked her, almost forcing her to look at him.
She didn't though. She looked down while her hair hid her face. Tears pricked at the back of her eyes. "Three years." She squeaked out the answer painfully. She couldn't remember it being that long.
"Were you alone?"
"...Yeah." She answered the question with tears rolling down her cheeks.
He put a hand on her shoulder, she winced and he left. As soon as he walked out the door she fell to her knees with her head in her hands. Her sobs consumed her as she cried like she had when her father has died.
Kai walked out looking pissed.
[Kai's POV]
=I cant believe I was that stupid!= He yelled at himself.
:Yeah well, When you need to know, you need to know: Dranzer offered.
=Stay out of this Dranzer. I was a total ass and you know it.=
:Yeah, I knew that part. But she doesn't think so.:
=And how do you know this?=
:I was talking to Drydzia. She's really upset.:
=Can you even do that? And why is she upset?=
: 1: Yes I can and 2: She hasn't seen Elisabeth cry like this since her dad died.:
I smacked my forehead and stopped walking.
=I'm such an idiot.=
Dranzer was gone.
=What am I going to do?= he asked himself.
[End of Kai's POV]
Elisabeth sat, pressing herself against the wall. She had a tear-stained face. She had just stopped sobbing and tears still kept on rolling, but she was calm.
She heard the door open and arms around her. She needed comfort and Kai knew that. He had come back. She was grateful and gave in to his arms. She sank into his chest and was sobbing again. She could calm herself down. But she still wished time would stop. She couldn't believe how safe she felt.
She passed out.
She woke up to an empty dojo.
=What happened? How did I get back here?=
She stood up and changed. Her clothes didn't feel fresh like that had this morning.
She walked out of the dojo. It was beautiful outside. Her father would have said: "A beautiful day my sunshine. What would you like to do today?"
He said that every day. Every day as sure as the sun rose from the east, even if it rained. Theo loved the rain.
"They went out to the park, girlie" Grandpa told her. He was behind her. ...She was creeped out, to say the least.
"Thanks grandpa," She was disappointed. =They didn't even wait for me?=
Grandpa saw the expression on her face. "You've been out for three days, kiddo."
This information startled her. =Three days? How could I have been out this long?=
"Kai didn't know what happened. He said one minute you were just peachy...well not exactly peachy. You were kinda crying, yo. Next thing he knew, you were limp like a cooked noodle."
"Tokagashi Park?" She asked.
(A/N: There was no name announced in the story, so I took a poetic liberty.)
"Yep! Go get 'em kiddo."
"3...2...1... Let it rip!"
Elisabeth listened from behind a tree. That was Max all right. She could hear the match. She wasn't coming out until it was over. She heard the final clash of the beyblades in the dish, most likely Rei Vs. Tyson. She came out from behind the tree.
They all gasped and walked to her.
She simpered.
She was bombarded with questions like "When did you wake up?" from Max and Rei and some other comments like, "I cant believe you haven't been awake to make breakfast!"
(Elisabeth had promised Tyson that she'd make breakfast in the morning.)
Kai remained silent and looked at her with concern.
She had them quieted and told them, "I'm fine! Guys really, I'm totally okay. I didn't know I had passed out so long though."
"We were so worried!" Max commented.
"Yeah, we woke up and you two were gone, then maybe a half-hour later, Kai gets home with you in his arms and you were out cold!" Rei sounded really worried.
"I can't remember anything but going for a walk...what seemed like this morning."
Rei patted her on the shoulder.
"We should go out for lunch today." Kai suggested, "Anyone up for it?"
"Yeah!!! I'm starving!" Tyson was the first to respond.
"Sure! That'd be fun!" Everyone else replied.
"Great," Kai looked around, "Lets start walking and then find out where we want to go."
"Wow Kai. I've never seen you this ... this ... Nice before." Tyson complimented.
"Yeah, well, don't get used to it Tyson." He smirked. "I'm in a good mood today and if you mess that up, I'll never be nice to you like this again."
Tyson gulped and everyone else sweatdropped. They laughed and started walking, with Tyson sulking behind them.
They walked around town a few times before stopping in front of an Ice Cream Parlour to rest.
"Oh please can we go in here? They sell lunch too and we could get some ice cream afterwards. Please Kai? Ice cream is the best. Please?" Elisabeth looked at him with puppy dog eyes, and so did max and Tyson.
Rei was laughing at them and said, "Yeah Kai, It'll make them happy."
"Whatever." He said and walked inside.
The jingle of the bell above the door added to the happy ambiance of this little ice cream parlour. All the ice cream was up front and in back was where they made the lunch food. Fries, Hot dogs, Etc.
They walked up to the cashier and Tyson ordered first.
"Umm.... I'm gonna have two turkey subs, a hamburger, three hot dogs and fries please. Oh! And a drink too...umm..A medium Root beer."
"Is that for all of you?" asked the cashier.
"Nope," He responded happily, "Just me."
She rang in the order and he paid the due. Kai was paying for everyone but Tyson.
Tyson sulked and waited for the food.
"What do you guys want?" Kai asked them. Or rather, told them to order.
"I'll have a hot dog and a side of fries please." Max told the cashier.
"I'll have a Chicken Burger and a small coke," Elisabeth ordered,
"I'll have the same, except a medium coke" That was Rei.
Kai hesitated. "Same as him I guess."
Tyson's order arrived and Kai made him wait for their order. Eventually, It came and he told them all to go sit down while he carried the tray over.
"You sure you don't want help with that tray Kai?" Elisabeth offered.
"No, I'm good, go sit."
"Really? You look like you're having trouble."
"I'm Fine! Go sit!"
"I dunno..."
Kai tripped and almost sent the tray flying.
Elisabeth caught it and smirked, "Told ya." She said, simpered and walked off to the table with the tray in hand, easy as pie.
Kai scowled, brushed himself off, regained his dignity and went to sit down. He was quiet all through lunch. Elisabeth Talked along happily with Max and Rei and Tyson stuffed his face.
Elisabeth finished quickly. She's a fast eater.
"Oooh! Ice cream!" She remarked. "Anyone coming?"
"I'll come!" Max told her.
Rei stayed but told them what he wanted, Tyson's order was muffled, but they assumed he'd get his later when it wouldn't melt.
Kai told Elisabeth he didn't want any. Big mistake.
"Why?" She asked.
"I don't like it." Was his retort.
"What do you mean you don't like ice cream!?! Ice cream is like heaven on a cone! Or in a dish drizzled with chocolate and butterscotch and sprinkles! You can't not like ice cream!" She took a breath.
"I don't like ice cream." He remained un-moved.
"Fine." She pouted. "Lets go Max."
They came back minutes later with ice creams in hand.
One scoop Strawberry Blitz, One scoop chocolate-chip-cookie-dough for Elisabeth, Chocolate Mint Chip for Rei and Chocolate-chip-cookie-dough for Max.
"Mmm....Ice cream" Elisabeth licked her lips.
"Hn," Kai grunted.
Elisabeth scowled at him. When Tyson had finished and gotten his ice cream, they left to wander around town.
Woo! Long chapter! That's for making you guys wait so long.
Lol. Thanks for bearing with me. I'll warn you if I go away for too long though. Don't wanna leave you guys all alone. I'll only go for 3 to 4 days max though, and I'll update before and after. Don't worry :P
And just to clarify my last message, If I get a couple good Characters from you guys then I can put them in my story. Perhaps as another team, or Elisabeth's old team, People they meet, etc. They'll be put to good use though. I guarantee it. R&R plz!
