Chapter 12 - The Day We Find Love.

Kai walked back to Sam's house and knocked on the door but no one answered, he tried again still no answer.
He then remembered that when Sam got annoyed she liked to go and give Moonstar 'some exercise' as it were. And began to walk towards the nearest wooded area.

"Kathryn what are you doing here?" Tyson asks, "I thought you didn't want Adam to find out you were talking to us."

"Hang on a minute." Max said a tad confused "Is this the same Adam we faced ten years ago?"

Kathryn nodded.

"Why is he doing this?"

Kathryn sighs before answering.
"Because he believes that Sam should be with him."

"Now that's stupid." Tyson says.

"Why would he think that?"

Kathryn sighs.
"When Sam and I first met Adam it was during a Beyblade match he was having with another kid. We went over to congratulate him on his win and he began to flirt with Sam. At first she wasn't interested but as time went by we began to see more of him and he started to hang out with us. She gradually developed feelings for him and they went out with each other a few days later."

"But it didn't work out did it." Tyson said.

Kathryn shook her head.
"No, after two months together Sam broke it off saying that she didn't think they were going anywhere. They both agree to remain friends but three days later Sam left to join the BBA."

"So that's why he was so mean to her." Max says.

"Adam felt like Sam had betrayed him." Kathryn continued then looked at her watch and gasped, "look at the time I gotta get going." Rushing out the door before Tyson or Max could say anything.

Tyson shook his head as both he and Max also walked out the door.

"What's up Tyson?" Max asks.

"Nothing Max come on we better see how sam's doing."

Sam stood among the trees watching as Moonstar did her thing, usually this would either calm her down or cheer her up but it was doing neither. She sighed as she remembered what she saw, there in the café window was Kai and Kathryn staring at each other, Kathryn even had her hand on top of Kai's. She couldn't believe that her best friend could do something like that.
She sighed again how she wished she could let Moonstar rip through a couple of trees but couldn't these trees were needed for other people to view and admire. No matter how annoyed or angry she was she wasn't going to inflict that upon anyone else.

"Come on Moonstar, let's see how good you are at dodging some trees." She says.

Moonstar complied not only dodging the trees but climbing some of them as well, which made Sam smile a little.

"Okay you can rest now." She says walking over to the tree that Moonstar had just climbed and catching her as she fell.

Sam then sat at the base of the tree and once again sighed.
"Why do these things always happen to me?" she says thinking out loud.

Perhaps because you never allowed anyone to help you. a female voice said inside her head.

"You're no help." Sam replies looking down at Moonstar.

Think about it. You've always kept everyone at arms length even Kai.

"Grrr don't even mention him!"

Why not? You know you still love him. Moonstar continued.

"I used to think that but now I think he's just a back stabbing jerk." Sam says angrily.

You know that's not true. Your just feeling hurt by what you saw that's all.

"Moonstar if you don't shut up I'll…I'll…"

You shouldn't let your anger guide you. Moonstar went on ignoring Sam's comment.

Sam then threw Moonstar away.
"Shut up shut up shut up." She says crying.

Tyson's place -

"Ray where's mum?" Kate asks as Ray returns from Sam's place.

"She…uh… wanted sometime alone." He answered.

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah I'm sure she's fine." He lied.
He had seen the expression on Sam's face when she saw Kai and Kathryn together.

"Ray? Kate?" Ben says a little hesitantly.

"What do you want?" Kate asks harshly.

"I uh just want to apologise." Ben began "I shouldn't have done what I did or said what I did. I let my anger take control of me. I'm sorry."

Slowly Kate smiles and goes to hug her brother.

"It's okay I know you didn't really mean it."

Ray smiles as he sees the two make up. He then spots Tyson and Max heading in and walks over to them.

"So… what did Kai say?" he asks.

"Nothing." Max answers.

"Nothing?" Ray repeats.

Max nods.

"He was more interested in whether Sam saw him or not." Tyson adds.

Ray shook his head.

"Hey Ray did you know that Adam from the Moonlights is scaring the hell outta Sam." Max says.

"Yea Sam told me."

"Did you also know that they used to date?" Tyson asks.

"They used to date?" Ray again repeats.

Tyson nods.
"According to Kathryn, Sam broke it off and now he's obsessed with getting her back." He explains.

"I didn't know that."

"Poor girl trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes." Max says sadly.

"Yeah." Tyson agrees.

"So if Kathryn and Adam are here, are the rest of them here?" Ray asks.

"Dunno." Max answers.

"Actually the Moonlights Split up a year or two after we faced them." Tyson informs.

Max and Ray look at Tyson with surprised looks on their faces.

"What?" he asks.

"How do you know that Tyson?" Max asks.

"Kathryn told me."

"Hmmm… what else did she tell you?" Ray asks curiously.

Kathryn & Adam's hotel room -

"I see you were talking to some people who you weren't suppose to be earlier." Adam says as Kathryn walks in.

"What are you talking about Adam? I just went for a walk that's all." Kathryn answered hoping she sounded more confident than she felt.

"Do the names Tyson and Max ring any bells?"

"Hmmm aren't they Sam's friends?" she says knowing.

"Precisely."

"And you think I would talk to them? Are you crazy? They're the enemy." She said walking pass him.

Adam grabbed her arm and pushed her up against the wall pinning her there.

"I know you were talking to them." He said coldly.

"Adam you're hurting me." Kathryn says a little scared.

"Now what did you tell them?" he asks.

"Nothing."

"What did you tell them!" increasing his grip and banging her against the wall again.

Kathryn was starting to get really scared she'd never seen Adam act like this before.
"E-everything." She said weakly.

Adam gradually let her go and turned round.

"I'm sorry but…"

-SMACK- Adam hit her across her cheek causing her to fall on the floor. She looked back at him tears forming in her eyes. Adam then knelt down on one knee and grabbed her cheeks by one hand.

"The next time you do something like that I won't be so forgiving. Understand?" he hissed.

Kathryn nodded and Adam pushed her head back as he let go. Kathryn lay back down on the floor and started to cry.

"Stop that stupid sound now! Or I'll throw you out the window." He said.

Sam had been crying for about two or three minutes when a voice said "You know you really shouldn't throw her away like that."

She looked her and saw Kai standing in front of her.

"What do you want?" she asked annoyed ad she got up and dusted herself down.

"Here." He said holding out Moonstar.

Sam snatched her blade back and stormed off.

"I'm sorry." He said to her retreating back.

Sam stopped.
"Sorry? Sorry! Sorry isn't good enough Kai!"

"What else can I say? Besides it wasn't what you think."

"It seemed pretty obvious to me." Her voice still conveying her annoyance.

Then Max's voice pops up into his head.
'Maybe she's scared that you no longer love her… You've both got to talk things through, tell each other how you feel. I'm sure you'll both feel better once you have.'

Kai sighs /-Max is right I have to tell her.-/
He looks at Sam's back before gathering his courage.
"Sam I… I love you."

"What did you say?" she asks in disbelief as she turns to face him for the first time.

"I said I love you."

"Well you sure have a funny way of showing it." She retorts.

"I guess I deserve that." He says as he walks towards her.

"Yea, you do." Taking a step back every time Kai took a step forward until she came up against a tree.

She tried to slip round it but it was to late Kai was already in front of her she gulped.

"We need to talk." He said.

"W-w-what about?" she answered nervously.

He smiled and Sam couldn't help but melt at it.
/-I've forgotten how cute he looks when he smiles. No! I'm annoyed with him. I can't give in. I won't give in.-/ she thought and turned her head away.
This made Kai smile even more as it showed that he was getting to her. He gently pulled her face back towards him.
/-Close your eyes quick!-/ her mind was screaming to which she complied but opened them a second later when she felt something warm on her lips. As she opened her eyes she found that Kai had chosen that moment to kiss her, which broke down all her barriers instantly and she began to kiss back.
