Forming a Bond
Well here's the next chapter, hopefully people will be able to tell us who their fav character is. I'm just curious, and I know curiosity killed the cat but really I'm not a cat so it doesn't really matter. Well, enough of my rating and stuff on with chapter7.
Chapter7 – Fall to Pieces
Back in the kitchen Blank and Drako stood washing dishes. As he handed a plate to Drako, Blank decided to start a conversation.
"Do you think Izzy's changed since she came back from Russia?"
"Ja, when she's not high, she seems a bit more subdued."
"Then what was the airport thing all about?"
"What I mean is that she's hiding behind her old self, pretending she's ok, und wenn es noch so schwer ist." Drako replied.
"Yeah, must've hurt. She must've been so lonely." Blank said quietly, letting the water in the sink drain.
"Hey. At least Kano found her and cleaned her up. She even got Izzy back to us in, more or less, one piece."
"Yeah, speaking of Kano what do we actually know about her?" Blank asked, leaning against the table.
"Not much. She's a 'blader and wants to face the BBA, that's about it." The boys went quiet.
"So, do you think we'll train tomorrow?" Blank finally asked.
"Dunno. I need to say sorry to Iz tomorrow before we do though."
"Hey, sorry I got mad at you about the soup thing. You know I'm always here for you, right D?"
"Yeah." Drako looked away then back at Blank, he smiled. "Night Blondie." Drako left the room with a small yawn.
Just before Blank could moan about having to put the dishes away, Drako reappeared in the doorway.
"Go to bed, I'll get those. I'm just gonna watch some TV first." With a final goodnight, Blank trudged upstairs to bed.
# "Kai?" Kano opened the dorm door.
"Kano?" Kai's voice was laced with sleep.
"I'm sorry go back to sleep." Kano made to leave but Kai got up and caught her arm. Kano looked up at Kai innocently.
"It's fine, come on." Kai sat back in bed and pulled the covers back for Kano. As she placed her head in the crook of his shoulder, Kai could feel tears on her cheeks.
"Kano. Why are you crying?"
"I had a nightmare."
"What of?" Kai asked, putting his arms around her.
"There was a fire. People crying. Smoke. Screaming. I hid under a table. Then men took me away. Big scary men! Oh Kai!" Kano started sobbing again. Kai rubbed her back, whispering nonsense words to calm her down. After a while, Kano's tears subsided. Droplets of moisture still clung to her eyelids, so Kai reached to brush them away. The two children's eyes caught the other's and acted as a mirror for all the emotion locked within them. Leaning forward, Kai pressed his lips to Kano's. It was an innocent kiss made just to calm nerves.
"You can stay here for tonight."
"Thanks…night Kai."
"Night Kano." #
