Johnny: Oi! What's that supposed to mean?! O.o It had better not be what I think it means!

CHAPTER 6

"Talking
~Thinking~
/Talking to Bit beast/
//Bit beast talking//
::Creepy dark voice Kai hears::
--
"Oh yah? Well you re-do it then, Mr Know-it-all!
~This girl is really getting on my nerves~ Kai glared at Kyla, who sat casually with her chair tilted back on two legs, flipping through a magazine.
"Class, you have five minutes left," a cheery female voice announced.
~Dammit~ Kai thought, sighing. He and Kyla had been put together by the teacher to do a Social Studies research project Ð but neither wanted to work together, so they'd split the jobs between them and when Kyla finally finished typing up her half of information, Kai couldn't make any sense out of it at all.
"So? You want us to fail or are you going to redo it?" she said with a hint of sarcasm. "We only have five minutes, you know." Kyla glanced at Kai. ~Maybe I'm pushing it a little far... I mean, if I were working by myself, it wouldn't matter about Detention, but if I get Kai involved too, I'll be so dead...~ Kyla had given up on the idea of Kai being who she thought he was, seeing as he was practically colder than a block of ice. She realised the hard way not to mess with him, although she did find it rather fun.
"You're the only one who's going to fail," Kai responded coldly. "I'm not redoing a whole page of trash.
Kyla closed the magazine and placed it on her desk. "It's okay. I'll do it.
Kai stared at her. ~Is she serious? In five minutes?~
"Don't believe I could do it?" Kyla challenged, grinning slyly.
"I'd like to see you try," Kai snapped. His patience was wearing thin, and if she kept going at this rate Ð just sitting there and talking Ð then neither of them would get the project done. "Just hurry up already.
"Alright, alright, I'm going! Geesh, it's not that hard!" Kyla pushed back her chair and stood up.
~This I've got to see~ Kai smirked, and followed her to the computer at the back of the room.
Sitting down and opening up Microsoft Word, Kyla began to type.
Kai stared at the screen with surprise and utter disbelief. As she typed, the words flashed across the screen, faster than anything you could imagine.
Before five minutes was up, the printer had already coughed up a page of text, which Kai was now proofreading.
"So, how's that?
"It's... Fine..." Kai replied, not wanting to admit that it was better than anything he could do, and avoiding the told-you-so-look she was giving him.
Kyla grabbed the stapler and handed it to Kai. He stapled together all the pages of information that they had got, and quickly wrote their names on the top sheet.
Two pairs of crimson eyes scanned the pages for a quick last-minute proofread, and managing to get the pages to the teacher just before the bell rang to indicate end of school.
**
As Kai was putting his books into his locker, his bit beast was in a talkative mood.
//So... You didn't fail... Thanks to Kyla//
/As if. I would have been much better off working on my own./
//Really? Aw, come on, Kai, admit it. You got to know her better and she's not really that bad.//
/I've got nothing to admit, except that I am never going to work with her again!/
He stared at his Social Studies exercise book for a second, realising that maybe Dranzer was right. He had got to know her better Ð even having been her room mate for almost half a year he hadn't known she could type that fast Ð and she did finish the work eventually; neither of them got a detention...
"Never thought I'd see the day.
Kai turned his head to see a red-haired boy leaning casually against the wall, arms folded and a smirk on his face.
"What do you want, McGregor," Kai said, giving him an unreadable look.
"Kai Hiwatari, working with a girl," Johnny snickered, earning a murderous glare from Kai. "Now that would be something. Do you think it would make the front page of the school newsletter? Just wait Ôtill your team mates find out.
As Kai was about to make an angry come-back, another voice cut in.
"Don't even think about it.
Johnny and Kai both turned with surprise to see Kyla standing in the hallway, directing a glare at Johnny, copied from the death-glare master himself.
Johnny just grinned, ignoring the glare. "Or what?
Kyla advanced swiftly towards the sarcastic red-head. "Or you won't be living in the world any longer than 5 seconds!
Before Johnny could reply, Kyla had jerked him off the ground by the collar and hissed coldly in his ear, "One word, and you're on your way to Hell.
Normally, Johnny would have responded with a sarcastic come-back or sneered at her, but in this case he realised she wasn't one to mess with Ð after all, he was about 5 inches off the ground, lifted by a seemingly-weak, skinny girl.
Kyla immediately saw the glint of terror in Johnny's eyes, and deciding that was good enough, unexpectedly let go of his collar. Johnny's feet landed with a Ôthud' on the hard ground, but at an angle, causing him to almost fall over on his back Ð but fortunately for him, he gained his footing on time.
He swore under his breath, then left without a word.
Kyla gave a smirk of satisfaction, then turned to Kai briefly before walking off. "There's more to me than you may think.
Kai just stared after her, not sure what to say.
::Yes... She knows more than she lets on... About you, your family, your strengths and your weaknesses...::
/Dranzer...?/ Kai glanced about him uneasily, but he was sure the voice came from inside his head... It sounded so familiar...
//Erm, yes, master?//
/That... That wasn't you?/
//What wasn't me?//
/Never mind...//
//Master?//
/Yes, Dranzer?/
//Never mind... Forgive me...//
/Forgive you... What?/
He got no reply, but as Kai shut his locker door and headed for the boarding house, he heard that voice again...
::Yet she's uncertain... What happened to make you so cold and distant. A loner. And afraid. Afraid of knowing...::
~If you're my conscience, you're not helping. What are you talking about? Do you mean she's afraid, or I am? What have I got to be afraid of knowing anyway?~
::A lot, my dear old master, a lot... And whether or not you overcome your fears to find out is up to you...::
//Master?//
/Dranzer? Yes?/
//So many answers, so few questions... Are you going to start now, or wait for her to tell you? Because if you wait, you could be waiting for the rest of your life...//

SD: Who does that creepy dark voice belong to? Weird... And what were they talking about? So strange... Yes, this is all too strange, so R&R and you'll find out more later in the story! Oh and, I'll try to get the next chapter up soon Ð ciao!
