Summary:
It about Kai fallen in love with Takara, Tyson little sister and both
of them were best friends. One shot
Pairing:
Kai/Takara
Six
o'clock in the morning is a natural time for Kai Hiwatari to wake up.
He entered Takara Kinomiya Dickinson's room and he slide under her
bed while she was sleeping successfully startled her but he failed to
make her get up.
"Wake
up Takara! It's time to get up and gear up for school! "Rise and
shine
sleepy
head!"
"Go
away Kai!"
The
raven blue long hair with grey eyes girl muttered and slid her head
under the pillow. Kai pulled her bed sheet off of her, threw it on
the floor, got near her and carried her by an arm. She on impulse
hooks her arms around his neck and screamed loudly out of surprise.
He just carried her and
laughed
on the way she reacted. Takara cursed back and demands him to put her
down.
Kai only tightens his hold of her and looked at the corner of his
eyes
her
face buried on his neck and her arms grasping tight on his shoulders.
"Kai
put me down!!" I should have thought about this before.
"Man,
if you could see your face when getting overly surprised...you can
even make it on any comedy shows!"
"Kai!!
"Her Storm eyes widens and pinches his ear. Kai lost his balanced,
threw
their selves on the bed and soothed his pained ear. She got over him
and pinned his shoulders on the pillows. Takara victoriously clashed
his defenses.
"Got
ya! You thought you could further scare me? No because you always
fail
on
that part Kai-kun." She got off him and forced her sleepy body
to the closet. Takara pulled a towel and pushed him outside the room.
"Get
out Kai! I'm taking a bath!"
"But
Takara, I want to stay here!" said Kai
"Get
out?"
"Just
get out...unless you want to see me taking a bath, you pervert! Out!"
"Okay,
alright! Shish, as if she was so hot." Said Kai.
"I
heard that, get out!"
Being
a fifth time beyblade champion and a varsity for the basketball team,
everything
about Kai is an adventure.
Always
swarmed by girls from the university, always meeting jam-packed
schedules, always coming home late that
infuriates
his housemate.
His
life is not that as easy, but not either too much less sugary. He
lives
in
an average apartment. Fairly rich, their team, the B.B.A winning
every
single
tournaments they compete with...Even his basketball varsity winning
every major events the school participates. He lives a natural life,
or so he thought. Going around the world, competing with Dranzer and
the other B.B.A members, enjoying the extra attentions he is
smuggling. However, there is a draw back from all of this. He was
strictly withdrawn of a pair. Kai is still single, and now he is 21.
Although he has dated pretty girls from the university and other
schools, he still finds lackness on them...something he wants them to
be like.
Max
has his girlfriend. A pretty blonde girl from the university. They
are
now
pursuing a three years relationship. And Max is very happy about it.
He is a cheerful person. So he got himself a kind and cheery
girlfriend as well. Max is very fortunate. Tyson has his own share of
girlfriend, which is rather surprising. A girl with adventurous
attitude, just like his...so they are compatible for each other. Two
years for them. Kai was too surprised to find out Tyson actually had
a girl for himself. Tyson is so lucky.
Ray. Well even though with his emotion, or so as he displays, he had a
girlfriend
for the longest time. For five years. The girl is a bit silent
but
tentative. Understanding and impassive, this made them good for each
other. He is the lucky among the four of them. And Chief. The nerd
among them also got a girl at his side. A year is on their credit. He
knew the girl. A member of the cheering squad who is very nice and
practical of everything. Chief though feels shy about it
nonetheless
very proud of his
Significant
other. Chief is also very
fortunate.
Kai
was living with Takara Kinomiya Dickinson Tyson little sister who is
also
a mean competitor in beyblading, and the head of the B.B.A's
technical
crew.
She always does the physical attributions of their beyblade's. Long
Blue hair with grey in the front and red eyes. She always goes with
them, for travels with him...except for his basketball games.
It
was not like they are in love to each other, which was very different
from what they are actually in reality. They were a bit similar in
everything but nonetheless too eccentric about some things. Takara
has a boyfriend and Kai is not obviously in love with her. And he has
no plans of courting her, even though she just lives a room away from
him. That is what he used to tell him self. He would step aside for
her boyfriend, as she does to those girls he was dating.
Takara
and Tyson is his best friend since they were young. They'd met;
surprisingly
with their father is a tribe's with her grandfather which made
Takara
as a relative of the leader. They love bickering on which a beyblader
must be good. Being unpredictable or being too precise of its
attacks. Obviously, Kai is on the former while Takara unquestionably
sides with the latter. Which he decided to join the beyblade
tournament battle to show the world the power of his blade, he choose
to live in Takara's apartment as his roommate surprisingly Tyson was
ok with them living together.
"Takara,
the food is ready! Hurry up down stairs will ya?!"
"I'm
coming, just a sec!"
Tyson
and Max couldn't figure out how could they find nice ways to coexist
when
there seems to be nothing common between them. Kai could sometimes go
too
far by bragging the raw powers of Dranzer where Takara could only
silently
limit her skills. The only thing they both believe is that the true
power lies in determination and good will about winning...maybe that
is the string that invincibly connects them. He sighed and poured out
a glass of orange juice.
"So,
what's the plan for your 21st birthday Kai? Got any parties or gigs?"
"Nah,
better stay at home. Do you; ah have something to do tomorrow? That
is
if
you don't have any dates with that bozo..."
Her
eyes rolled, he saw her retort and couldn't hide his uncertainties
about
the
guy she called her boyfriend. The airbag of the soccer team and who
has
no
taste for beyblade. Which he hated so much and amazingly gone
unrecognized to Takara. That depresses him more.
"His
name is Raymond Kon and not Bozo." Said Takara
"Okay,
I'm sorry."
"He
will be out of town tomorrow with his parents. So that leaves me with
no
skids
or anything. Why did you ask?"
"I
plan to go with the guys and there is no one to be at
you do
that
for me?" asked Kai
Takara
frown and suddenly agreed with a stone face.
"Hey!
I was just joking! I want to ask you to celebrate my birthday with
me,
will
you?" asked Kai
She
nods her head and threw his math notebook back at him. The door
closed
infront
of him as the echo of the school bell rang like tiny bells in his
ears.
For the whole 12 years of their lives he had denied things he thought
are
unnecessary but when something he didn't expects to happen...a
feeling
suddenly
awakened from nowhere. And it's bothering him greatly.
"Jeez,
I never though that all of this would be this hard!"
Tyson
slid his backpack on the next empty chair where Kai's things rest.
Max took charged of ordering foods for them. Aside from being the
leader of the team, Tyson had also become his confidant when it comes
on complaining how other girls and Takara bugs him and stealing away
his sleep.
"Didn't
she notice anything?" asked Tyson
"She
is blind when it comes to that I assure you. She loves nothing else
except
beyblade and that airbag Raymond Kon. I wish I was a beyblader."
"You
sound frustrated. So how does she look like this morning under those
blankets?"
asked Tyson
"Looking
pretty as usual. I found a couple of attack rings near her pillow
and
her blade in her Hand. She had once again loomed over those beyblade.
It has been 12 years and she still hadn't taken notice. I don't know
if she's
innocent
or just plain naive of her surrounding. Ignorant more to say. I am
tired
of waiting!"
Max
returned with three French fries, two regular burgers, one quarter
pound
cheeseburger,
two medium size soft drinks and a large one. Kai smirked on
what
the tray contains and didn't even have surprised to know to whom
those
larger
foods are for.
"Let's
face it Kai, she is obviously not interested of any guy aside from
her
boyfriend. Especially if that guy happens to be her best friend. She
is
too
attached with her relationship with that Raymond." Max responds
as he seats down next to Tyson. "That is part of the truth. But
does she really love Raymond Kon because of his being him? Or she
just needs someone to have a more practical relationship with?"
"By
the way, does she make you happy?" asked Max
"Well,
she does most of the times, but not every time. I am only a shallow
person
and seeing her smiles whenever she finished repairing or upgrading a
blade
is a very sufficient reason for me to be happy. It's simple but
true."
"How
is it going then?" asked Tyson
"Shish
Tyson, chew first your food before talking, it is indigestible you
know."
Said Max Kai chuckles that slightly removed a bit of his frustration.
"Just
like before. I wake her up every morning, cook breakfast, walk her to
school,
think of her in between school hours, wait for her when she has
practice
on her archery club, walking home with her, meet her in crash course
of basketball practice. On Saturdays, I accompany her shopping,
buying groceries, watching movies if we have time left then hit the
audios when we get home and drool over the CD's we just bought. And
on Sundays, we go to church then sleep the rest of the day...I tell
you Max, the same routine has gone boring and I want to start a new
one. However, she still doesn't catch the hint!"
Tyson
and Max shook their heads and munched on their foods. Kai isn't
starting
his food when Tyson secretly stealing fries or two. He only noticed
it
when it is almost half the original number. He looked out the window
and
continues
staring at Takara who is talking with her female friends. For 12
years
he dreamt a rather impossible dream. She is very practical,
analytical and direct to the point. He is afraid of accepting frank
rejections. That is why as much as he would like to compete with
Raymond, he is afraid to lose infront of her because of her.
A
crashing sound echoed on the emptied hallway of the building. Kai
quickly
went
to it and saw Raymond and Takara standing, facing each
other...shouting
at
one another.
"Is
this junk more important to you? You always had excuses! I am your
boyfriend
and it is your duty to serve me, not that toy!" She bent over
and picked up a broken attack ring lying on her feet. She enclosed it
tightly on her palm. Takara's brows are arching in a manner of total
disappointment.
"A
junk?! Didn't you know this thing you're calling junk is my life?!
This
very
toy you smashed against the floor and I am holding is what I am now!
This
junk made this Takara Kinomiya Dickinson you courted, this Takara you
won,
and most of all... the same Takara Kinomiya Dickinson who got famous
because
of this junk!"
A
broken blade was scattered on the floor. A metal ring rolled into his
feet. He bent over and picked it up. They still hadn't notice of his
presence so he remained where he was, a wallflower.
"Tell
me, what is Hiwatari to you?! Is he the reason why you are getting
cold
on me?!" Her storm eyes narrowed as a slap rapidly crossed his
face. Her voice is hissing.
"Don't
you dare blame Kai on this? Don't you dare lay blames on my
best
friend! You want to know why I had agreed to be your girlfriend even
though
you are the opposite of who I truly love?! Better hear this right,
I'll
only tell you once... because I thought you can pull me off of my
misery
of loving Kai! But I guess, you are a mistake! You are a pressure! I
hate
you!"
Kai
hid on the comfort room and only tips his ears on her fading steps.
His
red
eyes appeared on the corner of his though which means he is very
happy.
I
thought you can pull me off of my misery of loving Kai! so she loves
me
but
it is a misery. But he has to make sure first. Takara is the type of
girl
who is very calculates of her actions, which sometimes looses her
composure
when extremely pressured and angry. And those words might be only
a
decoy.
"Takara?
Are you home? It's me, Kai!"
He
opened all the lights and saw her sleeping on the couch. The door
closed
behind
him. He placed his things quietly and approached her. He crouched,
gently pulling the book out of her grasp.
"Takara,
I'm home, wakes up..."
Kai
seats beside her and lift her head while placing her sleeping body
weighing
on him. She moved and snuggled close. He tailed her unruly hair and
whisper
to her.
"Are
you hungry? I'll make dinner."
"No,
I'm still full thanks. Please just stay here. It feels so warm and
cozy when you're my pillow. Just let me sleep for awhile in your
arms. I want to dream things I want since."
"Alright,
I'll stay. Just right here."
He
took the remote and watched TV. His hand entwined with her. Instead
he
focus
on the screen, his red-Dranzer eyes softly gazing at her sleeping
face.
He carefully laid his back. 12 years, going on like this. Treating
each other best of friends, pretending they aren't in love with one
another. He pretended, she did the same. The loves just grew with
time and as time pass by, it only grows.
When
the night is no longer young, he unnoticely passed on sleeping. He
just
felt
her moving and moving like she was doing something more like of
completing a beyblade. He is too sleepy to get up so he decided to
remain close eyes.
His
head resting on her lap. It feels so warm, so tender. Like a
pillow
of clouds in heaven.
"Hey wake up, happy birthday Kai!"
A
tender kiss on the cheek woke his eyes. Her big storm blue eyes
welcome
it
and a very sunny smile accompanies it.
"Thanks
Takara...you surprised Me."
"Uh-huh,
well I got another surprise for you. Here." A box with white
silk wrapping was handed to him. He just looked at it. Takara seats
besides him. He winked and eventually opened the present.
Anticipation runs across his chest.
When
the unwrapping is done, Dranzer welcomed his eyes with a more shiny
and
upgraded
feature. His shooter is now in the most advanced looks...obviously
Takara's
P.P.B knowledge applied in it. And the winder, it is colored blue and
red and new. Dranzer seems had gone to a grand make-over.
"Thank
you! How did you know I badly needed to upgrade Dranzer?"
"Kai
Hiwatari, did you forgot, that I am the head of the technical crew
for
the
team? I am the one who do all the upgrading, repairing and design
your
beyblade's.
They are part of me, even though they don't speak, I could hear their
voices whenever they are broken or needs upgrading. Besides, of your
busy schedules...you seem to forget about Dranzer."
Kai
frowns a bit to know what he just actually done. She is right.
These
past few months, he got very busy of practicing for the basketball
team. He almost forgot to see if Dranzer is okay or already bathing
with cobwebs. He forgot what brought him on where he is now.
"So
what is your plan for today birthday boy?" asked Takara
"To
spend it with you, as usual...so how is it going with Raymond?"
"Don't
mention that stupid name, he's history already." Said Takara
"Really?"
"Don't
rub it in Kai." She stood up and pulled him afterwards. She was
already dressed. Baggy pants, a half-sleeve polo and black
sunglasses. She seats on the counter and enjoys a cup of cappuccino.
"Hey
Takara, do you have a chance to fall in love to someone right for
you? I mean, the one who is for you..."
"What
are you talking about Kai- Hiwatari, are you playing games? I warn
you, don't rub it in."
"I
am not trying to emphasize that Blade; you just have to be honest
with
me.
For cheese sake, for 12 years you are always disclosed about your
love
life. Share some lights!" said Kai
"Do
you really want to know?"
Kai
stood up and joined her on the counter with another cup of
cappuccino.
The
first time he will know what she feels, what she thinks of falling
in
love. Especially of what she desires about loving, aside from
tinkering
beyblade's
that is.
"I
thought getting in love is not a cool thing to squeeze in to my
priorities. Yes, I am in love with the beyblade's, but not with
someone. They are only reality pains to the heart and to the head.
Falling in love to someone
greatly
disturbed your concentration in everything. Especially when you both
break-up
before the tournament that is very rude. I didn't realize that
until
now, maybe not anymore. Even though I am not familiar with that
feeling,
I know I did with someone. But maybe he is now liking other else so
it
is hard for Me."
"Are
you in love with me?" ask Kai
She
just chuckle and almost spot out the cappuccino. Surprise crooning of
her
face makes her laugh so hard with those lines of red on her face.
"Let
me get that back to you. Are you in love with me?" He suddenly
blushed crimsonly. Lucky for him, she is not looking straight.
"Of
course not!"
"Then
same goes with Me." said Kai
"Okay,
enough already. I'll take a bath. It'll only take ten minutes."
"Just
hurry. Do you want me to go inside?" ask Takara
"And
what? To see me naked? Just stay outside."
"Just
kidding Kai."
"Nice
joke Takara."
On the way to somewhere, Kyle and Takara are having a good time.
Neither one of them are reluctant to say something about what they
honestly feel of each other. Maybe they don't want to ruin a good day
ahead of them. She treats him in anything or anywhere he likes.
Popcorn, traditional Chinese dishes, Japanese cuisines, cotton candy
which is actually unimaginable for their ages. 12 years of the same
everything, and 12 years of different feelings.
"So
how's Teresa? I thought you'll hang with her today?" ask Takara
"Who's
Teresa?"
"The
red head girl from our biology class, the one with what you called
beautiful
green eyes...which I connotes as eyes of pure jealousy. Remember?"
He
distractingly nods his head. He is obviously much unknown of a
certain
Teresa.
"And how is Katie? I didn't saw her on your last basketball
practice."
"And
who's that? Takara, who are those people you're talking about?"
another unknown Katie for his part. "Katie Stockholm, the girl
from our NatSci class, the one you're flirting with. What's wrong
with you? You are getting seems to be forgetful this days."
He
shakes his head unbelievingly. Is those two girls one of the girls he
is
dating
out with because of his miserable love life?
"And
how's Takara Kinomiya Dickinson? Did you saw her going back to her
old
self?"
asked Kai "Takara, that's you. Should you ask me that when
you're infront of me, talking and looking?"
"Kai,
I want to reflect myself through you. Wasting a relationship with
that
moron
seems to change who I am. I forgot my time table, I forgot about my
promise
to Max, and I forgot about you. Of what I feel about..." said
Takara
"About what? Is it something to do with Ray again? Takara, get on with it." He followed her eyes and found out what made her to stop from telling. It was Ray, with his girlfriend.
His
arms around her shoulder and seem to be having a good time. Smiling
and whispering. His eyes shifts from Ray to
Takara.
Obviously they saw them and their eyes lock in a silent talking.
Takara's
hands grips tightly on the table and lowered eyes. She suddenly is
experiencing
a mood swing. She stood up from the stool and walked ahead. He only
followed her abruptly and catches up with her fast pace. She remained
silent while he did the same.
"Hey
Takara, I want to know what is your last sentence means...you forget
of what you feel about what?" said Kai
"Forget about it; let's go home...I'm tired."
"But...!"
"We're
going home Kai, don't argue with me, not in the mood."
"You're
the boss Takara."
They
stopped on the train station and boarded the first train that
arrived.
Kai
remained quiet and respects the sudden change of mood courtesy of
Takara. Maybe he can talk it with her when they get home. While on
the train, he supports her body weighing on him. Too many deep sighs
escaped her lips and her hand is grasping tight on his arm, as if she
is afraid of letting go of him. She rested her head on his shoulder.
And every second closing-opening it as if she's pondering too deeply.
"Do
you feel alright?" ask Kai
"Yeah."
At home.
"Now,
can we talk what we just left? I am been left at hanging point."
Said Kai
"Kai,
I am tired. Let's sleep. Besides, would you listen to a broken
hearted woman like me who has nothing but heartache? I don't buy
that. Go
to
sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Kai
closed the door behind him. His eyes are remote and demanding.
"Takara,
I can't wait for tomorrow. You know that I know we can talk this
now.
Why did you got so silent a while ago? And what do that sentence been
left
unanswered? Tell me. You are bad at lying." Kai demand
"I
am tired. Let's go to sleep."
"No,
you stay here." He can see the surprise in his voice. She only
nod and seats on the couch.
He
is right; she is really awful when it comes on lying. She of the
frank
and
direct nature is not that so good at lying.
"I
am tired Kai, tomorrow's Saturday...just give me this night to sleep.
There is nothing to be talk about." asked Takara
"There
is. I think this is the right time since you didn't continue that
word
you are saying. I can't wait for another year to pass without me
telling this to you." Kyle only stood on the door waiting for a
word from her. And as to be expected she is too lazy to speak
anything. So he decided to speak instead of her.
"Now,
I want to talk things about us." Said Kai
"What
about us? Is there anything wrong about us?"
"Yes,
there is something wrong about us...how long will keep on pretending
to
go on like this?" said Kai
"What
do you mean pretending to go on like this? What are you implying
Kyle?"
Kyle
walked close to her and crouched on her lap. His eyes softening with
love
and sincerity. Takara flutter her eyelash and became very speechless.
"What
is wrong about us? We are living like we are galaxy apart from each
other
when it comes on talking about love, you always make me feel like I
am
a
light years away. Isn't their anything we can develop aside from
being very good friends?"
"Because
that is what we should be, that is what we are here for Kai. That
is
the reason why we coexist in a manner where we won't experience
insecurities.
This is what we should be."
"Can't
you really understand?"
"Understand
what?"
"That
I am in love with you, is it that hard to notice? Everyday I make you
feels
this profound feeling I have for you, even though you ignore it or
just
naive
of its true nature."
"Me?
Too naive of its true nature? Do you know what you are talking about?
Do
you really think I didn't know anything about it? So you are telling
me that my relationship with Ray is all games and pretending? Is this
how you
see
me Kai?"
"Yes...I'm
afraid so..."
Her
face gleams with saved anger and amazement towards his statement. Her
fist clenching, white and pale. Her teeth gritting in vexed.
"You
think I am so naive?! How dare you say that to me! For 12 years, you
think I am naive?! And you think that my past relationship with Ray
is just a game?! You, the closest one to me, thinking I am naive?!
Kai, are you really my friend?!"
"Takara,
I ah..."
Takara
is freaking out, her eyes blazing with fury. Her head shaking with a
lunatic-like smile creeping on her face. He stood up and resumed his
place on the other side of the couch. They remained quiet. He finally
made the confession. He didn't look at her and wait for a reaction.
If this will ruin what they builded, he knows he got
nothing
to loose.
"When
is it when I am ready to say this you're already doing this to me?
Kai, at first it is hard to imply my feelings, I had been afraid or
ejections myself. But honestly, I love you, I had loved you for 12
long years, that's true and I am not simply just in love with
you...because I love you myself. I am afraid to gamble so I didn't
take any risk. Just say you do
too..."
A shake of his head with veiled eyes.
"Too
late I guess...you still love Ray, didn't you? Well not me, I am just
simply
in love with you. I know I am."
"But
I do love you!" said Takara
"And
I don't. I can't fight for you. I can't battle for you. You just
showed
me
that I should give you up."
"Why
can't you fight for me?! Why won't you fight for me?! What are you
afraid of?! Just say the words and I'm all yours Kai! Just say
it...!"
She
whirled around and tears springing on her cheek. Kai faced her and
wiped
the
tears gently away from her eyes. A bitter smile had drawn his face.
Frown
is
the answer she gave back.
"You're
tired right? Go to sleep...goodnight Takara. Sweet dreams."
He
stood up and walked his way to his room. Each step is heavy and
hesitant
to
step forward. Each step is like with a ball with chains. He lied.
Maybe
the
confession just got too early and it only sided on him because it is
his
birthday.
And he knows he left her weeping when everything is supposed to be
fine.
"It
is not what I want to hear from you Kai! Just tell me you love me,
and
everything
will not be too late...! Fight for me, fight me out!"
"Goodnight
Takara."
"Kai,
you stupid! Why won't you believe me...why?! Why can't you fight for
me?!"
"Goodnight."
Said Kai
The
door of his room closed right infront of her face when she ran to it
which
instantly stopped her from moving on. Kai could hear her crying. He
plunked on the bed and placed his hands on his ears. Her sobs are
like curse. He has been so coward. He should have said the words but
felt something drawing him back. He knows Ray still loves her and he
will be the visible third wheel. He feels like he is only been
answered to smooth her hurt pride.
On
the thin wall that divides them, Kyle leaned his forehead with the
greatest regret. He had been so coward, so spineless of fighting what
is for
him.
Of not giving up the woman he greatly cherish, greatly profound of.
Too afraid of what the majority will say of his actions, too scare of
getting shame face infront of everybody. He of the brave Kai Hiwatari
the Dranzer had turned his back to the person most important to him;
to the one he loves the most.
He
could still hear her cryings echoing through the wall. This shouldn't
be
happening
to him and to her. Now he regrets saying that he is simply plain
in
love with her and not saying those words she wish to hear. The night
ends
with
him sleeping on the wall, fresh tears which is very rare to be seen
on
his
face came very visible to the world outside his rotting room.
Morning
peeks the window of his soul...he could hear the door outside
opening
and momentarily closed. It must have been Takara going out alone on
a
Saturday morning. She usually goes to the park with him first thing
in the
morning
to train theirselves...then go shopping. That is before last night,
and
now they have to feel a galaxy apart from each other, emotionally and
physically.
Now he doesn't have to wake her up, he doesn't have to cook for
her
or walk her to school or wait for her. Not right after that blunder.
If
only
he was brave enough to stand for what he just said.
"What?!!
You told her you're in love with her then you turned your back on
her?!"
Tyson Shout
"Tyson,
he's problematic already...at least you can lower down your voice,
you're
attracting attention." Said Max
Tyson
sat down and got silent. Max also sat down and looked at Kai who is
not
seemed to be in his usual self. He runs a finger on the rim of the
glass
and
stares at the reflection reflecting.
"I
got scared..."
"Of
what? Is there anything you should be scared of?" said Tyson
"Yes..."
Max
and Tyson looked at each other. They thought the only thing Kai is
scared
of is admitting the fact that he is actually in love with his own
best
friend. It though surprises them to know that he is also scared of
another
thing.
"It
is a who or a what?" asked Max
"Ray."
"Nani?!"
"I
know I shouldn't but it is true."
Kyle
only sighs and placed a hand under his chin.
"But
why?" ask Max
"She
is still in love with him, still affected with what is happening on
him
and
to her when they see each other. And it affects me the most, I am
jealous but not in the station to be. I am insecure whenever they
pass by
each
other with those silent eye talkings. Max, being in the middle and
loving
her is a hard thing that I am doing. To find it out is very
frustrating."
His
head drooped down to the table and let his face lay on the crystal
table. Cold, reflecting.
"Don't
tell me you gave up on her? Kai, you are the one who told us she's
worth
fighting for. What happened? You got scared because of her past with
Ray? Wake up! When she told you she loves you, you doubt her. Jeez,
for 12
years
you know her better than she do to her self and now when it is
finally
been
discovered you'll falter?" said Tyson "You know what? If
she's special, then go find her. If you feel like you're not yet
ready, wait for her on your apartment then try to explain to her, if
she won't listen, make her. Then if stills results into nothing, then
falter. Move on Kyle. Sometimes, a little scratch can widen into a
scar and what you have done is not only a little scratch, you made it
worst than
a
scar."
Max
eyed Takao who only shrugged his shoulder. All those words are true.
Because
of his own fear, a once happy relationship is now on a process of
tragedy.
Truly, a romantic fool is very useless in a war. He is a hopeless
pretending
and romantic fool who plunged on a war without sufficient
knowledge
why he did that. A total romantic fool.
"I'm
home, Kai are you here? I said I'm home. Sorry for not waiting for ya
this
morning...I ah got things to do early."
Kai
went out of his room and greeted her with a false smile. It didn't
escape
both of their senses. He seated on the couch and intently watching
her
putting down her things on the counter. It seems like nothing
happened
between
them last night. The other day, they are very happy planning his
birthday
out but now, they are like having an invincible barrier in between.
"Want
some cappuccino?"
"Yeah
a cup please."
Silence.
Deafening silence as the liquid of hot cappuccinos shatters it,
pouring
down on two big cups. She lifted both and hand one to him. Actually
only stood in the window and didn't dare to meet his eyes. He sips
some on his cup and put it down on the table. He crossed his legs and
coughs a little to light a conversation.
"Maybe
saying this is too late, if it wasn't of Tyson and Max, I can't
realize
it more sooner...I was too scared to admit to myself that I'm
in
love with my best friend, who is still in love with Rei. I was too
scared to say the words you want to hear, fearing that it would be
all just a dream. I hate direct rejections especially from you."
She
remained where she is, sipping a cup of cappuccino and looks like
very
sustentative
of him. On the corner of her eyes, tears silently falling. Drops
seem
to be a sound of soft ripples in a pond.
"And
so do I. If I haven't been, I should had told you about it a long
time ago, shouldn't had waited for long years to pass by. I
considered many
things
before my feelings. The competition, the basketball team, the B.B.A
team. I was too afraid to admit to myself that I actually fallen love
with my best friend, to the one who knows me more than I do to
myself. I guess we played a game on ourselves, did we?"
"Yeah
I guess." She nods infront of the window. Rain starts to fall.
"So
what now?"
"I
don't know..."
"By
the way, sorry for being a coward, me who is..."
Takara
stopped him from talking. "Don't ever think of considering the
fact that you are the leader of the Shark Blade, Bladebrecker and
Demolition Boys tribe means you must act strong even though you can't
anymore...that is not what I had loved about you. You mustn't when
you can't. You mustn't if you don't like to. I had loved for just
you, if your decision is to give me up, I respect that. Maybe you
don't deserve me. Or anyone..."
They
looked at each other. Kai met her tear stained eyes with his red
ones.
She
hadn't cried this far for 12 years. If she could be on reach, he'll
get
her
and will never going to let her go.
"Don't
say I deserve better. That I should deserve someone different, far
better.
I don't want anything or anyone else, I just want you. Because I
deserve you."
That's
all and he stood up, walked towards her. They faced each other, his
hands
gliding on her cheek like he hadn't touched it for a million years.
She
just looks back at him, her eyes searching something significant. His
hands
finally lands on her shoulders.
"Takara
if I am the most undeserving lady this planet could have?"
"Even
if you are, that won't change anything. Neither anything nor
everything.
I love you that's what matters."
She
only closed her eyes and rests her head on his shoulders.
"You
finally said it. That is all what I need to hear from you. Those
words..."
"What
words?"
Takara
looked up to him and flashed a frown.
"Kai!"
"I
was just kidding! I love you, I love you, and I love you!!'
A
smile was drawled on her face. He smiled back and ran a finger across
her
cheek.
She enclosed her arms on his waist and didn't wait for anything from
him.
Kai could feel a different kind of warmth from her. No pretending, no
limiting,
sky is the limit. A gust of soft, gentle wind passed them by. She
snuggled
close at the shivering cold it brought them. He chuckles lowly on
her
ears. Whisper something that made her smile. A day with no
pretentions
ends
something and started a new one. And Kai knows that they will never
part,
ever. As the rain fall they kiss.
