*-Thoughts-*

Chapter 8 - A Blast From The Past.

"You guys stare at me much longer and you'll start to burn holes through me." Sam joked.

"What's going on?" Tyson asked as he and Ray walked out.

"They're all staring at me just because I said 'hi' to Kai." Sam explained.

Ray and Tyson then join the staring fest.

"Not you two as well."
*-I'd better get outta her before they all drive me nuts.-* she thought.
"Come on Ben, Kate we better get going."

But Ben and Kate didn't move they were still in shock over what just happened.

"Hello? Am I talking to myself or what?" Sam sighs "I'm going back home when you think you guys can talk to me without staring come find me." She says a little sarcastically her cheeriness still showing as she spoke.

When Sam had left everyone looked at each other Tyson was the first to break the silence.

"Well that was weird."

"Weird isn't exactly how I'd put it." Ray said.

"So how would you put it Ray?" Dizzi asks.

"Peculiar."

"Yea she's tried to avoid Kai ever since you brought her here Ray." Max says.

After getting over their shock Ben looked at his sister and winked to which she giggled that caught Ray's attention.

"What are you two up to?" he asked curiously.

"Us?" they said innocently in unison.

"Hmmm."

"I wonder what's got into her today?" Kenny says.

"And also why was she so cheery?" Max adds.

"Maybe she's found someone new." Dizzi said.

There was silence as everyone thought over what Dizzi just said.

"I suppose you could be right Dizzi." Ray finally said.

"No I don't think so." Ben says as everyone but his sister looks at him.

"Why?" Tyson asks.

"I just don't."

"My brothers right. If mum wanted to find someone else, she would of done years ago." Kate says backing up her brother.

As the conversation went on no one notices Kai slip away. He was so confused; one minute Sam hates him and the next she's saying 'hi'? What's up with that? He kept on walking not paying attention to where he was going. He was remembering the conversation he and Sam had the morning they were to fight the Moonlights, he smiled at the memory.

=FLASHBACK=

As Kai awoke memories of last night drifted into his mind. He smiled and looked down at Sam. Her head was lying on his chest and she was sleeping peacefully. *-She looks so cute when she's sleeping.-* he thought.

There then came a knocked at the door to which Sam stirred. Kai growled at the person who had just knocked.

"What?" he asked in an annoyed tone.

"I'm just making sure you're up." The person replied a little nervously. It sounded like Kenny.

"No thanks to you." Kai mumbled to himself.

"We're all meeting in the restaurant in five minutes," he said.

"Fine, we'll meet you there."
Kai then looked back down at Sam and sighed he didn't want to wake her up but he had to.

He kissed her head then softly said.
"Sam, Sam wake up."

"No, it's not time to get up yet." She replied sleepily snuggling up to Kai even more.

"Yes it is." He said smiling at her reaction.

Slowly Sam opened her eyes and looked round. She then looked up at Kai.
"Hi." She said softly.

"Hi." He replied still smiling.

"Do we have to get up now?" she asked giving Kai a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I'm afraid we do. The others are waiting for us." Kai explained.

"Let them wait." Sam said snuggling back into her original position then closing her eyes again.

"I suppose we could wait until Tyson walks in and asks what's taking us so long." Kai reasoned.

Sam's head snapped up immediately "You're kidding right, he wouldn't do that would he?"

"This is Tyson we're talking about Sam."

"I think we'd better get up now." Sam said with a little urgency in her voice.

"I knew you'd see it my way." Kai said with a slight smile.

"Kai do me a favour." Sam said as she walked into the bathroom carrying the clothes that she had just taken from the wardrobe.

"What's that?" he asks, as he gets dressed.

"The next time we're in bed and you want to get me up. Don't mention Tyson."

" I suppose I could have tried something else but then I think it would have kept you wanting to lie in a little longer." He replied appearing behind her he then started to kiss her neck.

Sam gave a little moan of pleasure then turned to face him.
"We have to go find the… uh!" as Kai continued to kiss her neck.

"They're all meeting in restaurant in five minutes." He answered while continuing the assault on her neck.

When Sam finally managed to break away from him she said.
"You know for someone who wanted to get me up pretty quickly by mentioning Tyson you sure aren't in a hurry to leave."

Kai gave Sam a predatory like smile and started to walk towards her. Sam realised she was in trouble. *-Uh oh.-*

=END FLASHBACK=

Kai found himself looking out at the ocean wondering how he got there, he sighed. How could he talk to her if he couldn't even speak when he was near her? Then Kai remembered where he'd seen that ribbon before. It was the same one she had worn in his dream last night.
"But how is that possible?" he wondered out loud.

As Sam walked through the streets she sighed, why were they so amazed that she had 'hi' to Kai? Okay so maybe she had been so friendly to him lately but that was still no reason to stare at her as if she had two heads or something. Suddenly she felt the same feeling she had yesterday like someone was watching her, she shuddered at the thought. And went to sit at a nearby bench.
*-I'd better get home. If someone does drop by or Kate 'n' Ben decide to go home they're gonna wonder where I am.-*

After a few minutes Sam stood to go as she did so she noticed something spinning at her feet she stared at it for it looked very familiar.
*-Moonstone? But it can't be. That would mean that…-*
The item then moved off as if reading her thoughts.

"Wait." She called out but it kept on going. "I must be seeing things." Sam says quietly to herself before heading off.

From the shadows a person smiled evilly as they saw Sam walk away.
*-You will again be mine miss Janeway. You can count on it!-*

At Kate & Ben's house -

"I'm not sure about this Ben. What if mum finds out it's us?" Kate said a little nervously.

"She won't. Don't you wanna see her dad back together?" Ben asked.

"Yeah but if they find out…"

Ben sighed
"Kate you worry too much."

"She has good reason to." A voice said surprising them both.

They both turned round and saw Ray standing behind them.
"Ray… w-what are you d-doing here?" Kate asks.

"Seeing what the two of you are up to." He answers.

"Uh… nothing." Ben says hiding something behind his back.

"Really?" Ray says disbelievingly "Then what's that behind your back?"

"B-behind me? T-there's nothing behind me. Right sis."

"Yea there's…" Ben gave her a little kick "I mean no there's nothing behind you."

Ray decided to play a little trick that Tyson always used to play on him whenever he tried to hide something.
"Is that yours or Kate's blade behind you?"

"Huh?"

They both turned round to see and as soon as they did Ray took what Ben was trying to hide.

"Yellow roses?"

Both Ben and Kate turned back round when they saw they had been tricked.

"Yea…there… Kate's favourite. Right." Ben said trying to explain.

"No, there mum's… ouch! Ben I wish you would stop doing that. It hurts you know." She complained.

Ray smiled he knew what they were trying to do.
"You're going about it all wrong you know."

"Huh? Going about what all wrong?" Ben asked a little confused.

"You're trying to get Kai and Sam back together right…"

Kate gave a nod while Ben said nothing.

"…Then you're going about it all wrong." He explained.

Kate sighed.
"To be honest Ray, we didn't really come up with this."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, the roses just appeared on the doorstep yesterday and we just… well…"

"Used it to your advantage." Ray finished.

Again Kate nodded.

"Why are you telling him all this Kate." Ben asked a little annoyed.

"Did you ever think that he could help?" she replied also a little annoyed.

"Him?" Ben pointed at Ray "He's the reason that they may never get back together." He said angrily.

"How do you know that Ben? For all we know he could be the only person that could get them back together! Why don't you stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about others for a change!"

That did it Ben's anger exploded he pushed his sister to the floor to which she then started to cry.
"Don't you ever say that again Kate or I'll do more than just push you over!"

At this point Ray thought it was time he intervened, he helped up the crying Kate.
"Ben you've gone too far. Now apologise to your sister and let's talk about this sensibly."

"Heh yea right as if I'm gonna apologise to her. And why should I listen to you anyway you're not my mother or father." He walked off saying "Do what the hell you like Kate but just don't ever get in my way again."

Ray sighed and shook his head.
"You okay?"

Kate couldn't answer she was crying too much. It was then Ray remembered he was still holding the roses in his hand. He gave them to Kate to which she gave a little giggle and a small smile.

In his hotel room a young man with dark brown hair sat looking out the window.

"You know I think you should give her up. It's been ten years if she didn't have any feelings for you then I'm sure she won't now." A young woman said as she walked into the room.

"She will be mine once again. If it wasn't for that idiot she was with I'm sure she would come back to me." He replied not moving from his place.

The woman sighed and sat next to him.
"Adam this has to stop. She has children now his children; there is no way she'll ever go back to you. Face it's over."

"It's far from over Kathryn. In fact it's just beginning." An evil smirk appears on his face.`
