~*Author's Note*~
Hey, thanks again for the reviews, appreciate it, although I got confused with a different review. If the pairing does'nt please you, unfortunately I can't change your mind, and now I don't know what to do! OMG, should I worry, should I-ack, I have to relax! Let's get on to the story. (^_^)

~*Not What She Seems - Part 2*~
'Desicions, desicions......' But Kai was already set. "Alright King, I'll do it."
"I don't give a damn to what you say, Hiwatari-Really? Y- You're going to um 'help'?" said King sounding unsure.
"Yeah. Fine, King, I'm going to 'help'."
"Great! But hey, don't tell Queen a thing, Hiwatari, or else."
"Fine, I won't." groaned Kai.
"Good, can you tell Queen to get the phone, then, er, Kai?"
Kai tossed the cordless. "Hello? King? What is going on? You two sound like you did'nt get into anything. Are you feeling well?"
"Yeah, yeah, um Queen, I need you to stay there for a while, about two weeks?"
"Where, here? Ya, I guess, since I'm already getting my pregnancy tes.....uh, huh." Queen knew that her brother caught the last part as well.
"....................Queen?" she felt a little embarassed right about now.
".................yeah?"
"Sis, I know you're feeling upset right now, but try to stay positive. I know it sounds weird, but just do it, okay?" Kings' voice had now been reduced to a whisper. "And take care. See you in a couple of weeks"
"I'll try, just for you, King. See you soon." Queen returned the phone back to its' original spot, feeling a tad lighter for her brother had taken the news unusually well. Actually, it was'nt a hundred percent sure, but who knows, right?"
~*End Of Phone Conversation*~
"So, um, you're staying here for a while."
Queen turned to Kai, a steely glint in her eye. "What did you do to my brother?! He sounds like an old woman!"
"I did'nt do anything, wench! And since you're staying in this house for a couple of weeks, I suggest you call people here with their right names! If you don't like it, then you'll have to stay outside!" Even if he now knew about her little history, basically he still was'nt allowed to show to Queen that he has a certain amount of knowledge to it.
"Like I said, a truce, but I did'nt say I had to be nice." Queen returned to the sushi, absent mindedly cleaning up. "Do you have a shower, Hiw-Kai? I feel gross, I'm not liking this robe, it's so itchy, and do you have any clothes I can borrow?"
'Yet she treats me like a personal slave.' Kai gritted his teeth. If he was gonna try to be nice, he might as well start now.
"I have some, but it would be too baggy, and I thought girls like to wear those skimpy, barely-there-outfis."
"Yeah, and you'll have a nice time looking under my skirt, won't you, Hiwatari?" grinned Queen, and Kais' face heated up just a tiny bit.
"The bathroom is upstairs, fourth door from the right. The clothes are in a closet beside the bookshelf in my room, which is beside yours." Kai recovered himself, "Don't touch anything, cause I will notice, don't leave a big mess, don't leave the hot water on, AND, don't get lost, cause there are security systems everywhere. If you need me, I'm in the gym on the bottom floor, second door to the left." Kai walked briskly away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Second door, second door, second door, there!' Queen had finally finished her bath, feeling much more refreshed, and composed, like her usual self. (Which meant back to the touchy, grouchy, and yes, very serious mood.) Queen had worn Kais' old black cargo pants, and white t- shirt. It was lose, but not too lose, but she knew a new bra was in demand. She was'nt tired anymore, as if the talk with her brother and his understanding was the remedy that she wanted.
She opened the door which belonged to the indoor gym, closing the double doors with a snap. The gym was huge, brightly lit, made especially for training, and maintaining a strong physique. Queen stared randomly at the equipment, thinking that at least she can still eat how she wants, and yet maintain her 'feminine' shape. Sounds from the far end of the room grabbed her attention, and as silent as a hunter nearing it's prey she went in for a closer look.
A large wrestling ring was located there, and in the far corner was Kai, punching the sand out of a punching bag. He was out of his usual clothes, this time in black karate pants, and black wrist bands.
Kick,kick, punch, punch, kick, kick, punch, punch, punch.....
'Not too bad,' thought Queen, as she watched Kais' movements, moving in sync. The punching bag seem to have quite a number of dents, but it did'nt faze Kai at all.
Side hook, left hook, duck, uppercut.....
Queens' gaze held momentarily on Kais' forehead which a bead of sweat dropped on his forehead, down, his chin......
Jump kick, kick, jump kick, punch, punch, uppercut, uppercut......
She itched to join him now, watching Kai intently, her eyes moving lower, lower, stopping at his chest which glistened with sweat. His finely toned muscles flexed with perfection...... 'Hmm, not bad, not too much on the abs, the arm muscles are just fine, but I guess I could live-' Queen shook her head, vigorously. 'Ugh! What have I been thinking? Or drinking? Gross, that's disgusting, Hiwatari, a fine gentleman? No way! He may be sexy, but there is no way-I HAVE to get this off my mind.' As much as she would like to get the thoughts out of her head, it left her stomach churning, and knees weak.
Kai had stopped now, and was doing some stretching when Queen crept up behind him, waiting for the right moment.........
'Whew. That felt good. Now where is that girl? I gave her precise directions and she still gets lost.' Kai bent down to touch one toe, and then the other, when he sensed something. In one quick motion that surprised his attacker, Kai grabbed the figure, and pinned her to the ground, having one arm ready to choke her.
"Umph!! Hey! No fair!" scowled Queen, struggling from under Kais' weight, and tried to prise the arm off her throat.
"What's not fair? You're the one who sneaked up on me." smirked Kai, looking her up and down. "I see you found some-umph!"
Before he knew it, Queen flipped him over, straddling his chest. "Yeah, It's hard to find anything in a different colour besides black." grinned Queen, satisfied with Kais' look of surprise.
"Bitch! no ones ever pinned me down..." grumbled Kai, trying to find a way to throw her off.
"Ya, until now." said Queen, still smiling. "Besides, nobody ever calls me that. Give it up, Kai."
"Humph, not a chance." and with another move Kai had let out a large burst of energy, and when Queen finally noticed what was happening, she landed on the the other side of the paded arena. Both panted heavily, and stood up.
"I *pant* thought *pant* you *pant* are *pant* still *pant* tired?" panted Kai, hands on his knees.
"Oh *pant* not- *pant* -thing *pant* can *pant* stop *pant* me, *pant* Kai." replied Queen, walking over to a fridge that had been located right beside the arena, and searched for an evian bottle.
"Well, in case you should know, I never lost at a wrestling match."
Queen gave him a devious smirk. "Yes, but all those who are mighty fall too, you know."
"Whatever, you're just a sour loser, and I'm not going to have to put up with you just because you are staying in my house." Kai walked in the direction of the door, grabbing a towel from a rack. "I'm going to go freshen up."
"Hey, wait up!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Queen waited for Kai in the living room. It had oak wooden pannelings, and a domed ceiling. Many books lined one side of the wall, and full-length bay windows lined the opposite side. A large stone fireplace went in on corner, and a flatscreen television went in the other. (A.N. My dream living room..LOL ) Feeling very bored, she glanced out the window. The sun had begun to set, and a golden glow loomed from the horizon. It would have been breathtaking, if it weren't for the dark clouds covering the sky. Raindrops the size of peas splattered on the windows.
'Great, more rainy weather. Just what I need. Not a single excuse to even get out form this house....' Queen plopped herself on one of the leather armchairs. A small object grabbed her attention. "This is boring. Kai's been gone for at last an hour now, I don't think a guy would take that long." Queen got up again, heading for the upstairs, when a sound from down the hall reached her ears. She walked in the direction of the sound, as it got louder.
"Stupid buttons! Argh! How DO YOU WORK THIS THING?!......Huh?"
Queen was finally laughing once she knew what was going on. Out from a corner she stepped out, an amused look on her face. Kai turned red from embarrassment.
"What?" Kai snapped, crossing his arms. "It's not funny, you know!"
"Well to you it isn't, but it is to me." answered Queen, wiping tears from her eyes. "I still can't believe you are trying to cook! I mean, what have you done to this place?" She scanned the room, completely perplexed. Dishes and various utencils were everywhere, and many ingredients scattered all over the place. The oven looked out of order, and an overboiling pot of water was slowly spilling onto the terra cotta floor. Then, on the table was a decent looking vegetable salad. "At least you've done the salad right."
Kai gave her a withering stare. "Yeah, and you could do better?"
Queen grinned. "THAT, is where I shine." she picked up a knife that Kai left on the floor. "Just clean up some of the dishes, set up the table, and I'll do the rest."
Kai opened his mouth in protest. "You can't-"
"Do you want food poisoning, or a full stomach?" Kai closed his mouth, but muttered random words, and grabbed some of the utencils.
An hour later, Kai was relaxing on on of the many chairs in the kitchen, watching Queen busily stir a pot of cooking noodles.
"I'm warning you, you'd better not be poisoning any of that, because I'm watching you."
"Kai, what's the point of doing that? Really, I'm eating some of this too, and I much prefer beating you the way I do best."
".............Whatever..............How did you learn how to cook like that, anyway?"
Queen lifted the pot, and drained the water, putting it onto a large platter. "It's just a hobby of mine. I love to cook for people. Its very rewarding for me to see happy looking faces after a meal." she stared at Kai as though daring him to laugh. When hearing nothing, she finished up, and placed everything she made on the table. Queen took her seat across from Kai. A few seconds passed. "Come on, what are you waiting for? The food's getting cold!"
They each served themselves, and Kai took his first bite, hoping that if she did poison it, he'd have time to kill her first. (A.N. Let's just say that that was his way of thinking at the moment, kay?) Closer the spoon came..........Then.........
".................*Swallow*.........This is good." Kai said, staring at the lasagne in surprise.
"You like it?" Queen asked, blankly.
"Would I say that if I didn't?"
Queen stared at him for a few moments, thinking that the stuck-up, serious snob just complimented her. 'That jerk. Thinking he can make me trust him. I've stopped trusting men once that incident happened.' The whole dinner then passed in silence, the sun had now fully set, and the stars lit the sky, sending wonder, and beauty to everything on the Earth.
"Whew! I'm stuffed." announced Kai, setting down his glass of fruit juice. "Do you want me to clean up, cause since you, well, made the food?"
"You know, Hi-Kai, you never cease to amaze me." Queen said, a disbelieving ook on her face.
"Why's that?" frowned Kai.
"Well, it is unlike you to help me clean up."
'Yeah, it is unlike me to clean up.' Kai thought, looking at the floor. 'Am I sick? It must be Queen. Yes, it must. Probably because of pity-That must be it.'
"Um, Kai?" asked Queen uncertainly. "Are you okay? Look, forget I said it. Let's just clean up, okay?"
"Fine, whatever."
The dishes were finally on the sink, and Kai had been set to wash, as instructed by Queen. In her point of view, he was doing quite poorly.
"Kai, no! The sharp edged knives DO NOT go next to the forks and knives!" Queen shouted, rubbing her forehead as she had been drying the dishes.
"What am I doing wrong now?" Kai shouted back, gripping the sponge in his hand tightly.
"Because, if you pick up any of the forks or knives, you're going to get a cut or something!" snapped Queen, drying a plate.
"Okay, then, why don't you just do it yourself if you're so smart?"
"I already know how to do this, Kai, but for you, Mr-I'm-so- independent-can-do-anything, you can't live without your servants for even one month!" Queen placed the plate on the counter.
Kai just 'Humphed', and Returned to washing the last remaining cutleries.
"What are you doing?!?!" said Queen, taking a wisk that Kai had scrubbed. "You scrub the individual rods too! (A.N. I don't know if that is right ) Honestly, have you no common sense?"
Kai gripped the sponge tighter. Queen had been telling him what to do for the last fiftenn minutes now. In fact, all night, if he counted the time she bossed him around preparing dinner. The thought made his hand spring back and throw the sponge, sending it on Queens head!
"ARGH! HIWATARI! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" Queen took the soap bowl, and dumped all of its saopy contents on Kai's head.
Kai spurted out some water, and stared at his now, soaking wet self, and sprung himself on Queen, but befoer he did, she held up a small, blue object that loked suspiciously like-
"Dranzer!" Kai exclaimed, his fists clenching in anger.
"Chill, I found it lying on the table. Just thought I'd give it to you to make sure you haven't forgotten it." Queen handed the blade over, and stared at her now wet clothes. "Kai, as much as I want to do revenge right now, I'm gonna call it a night."
Kai looked a little weirded out by Queen's lack argument, but nodded silently. Instead, he looked out the window. It was still raining.
"Yeah, we should change anyway, we can catch a cold or somthing."
"Yeah.............." silence. "........Um, Kai?"
"What?-I mean, yes?"
"Um, I never got to thank you, have I?" asked Queen, turning to leave.
"Uh, no, you haven't." Kai said slowly, wondering where this would lead.
"Really?" Queen stopped walking, and looked back at Kai. "Thanks, then, I guess."
Kai watched her leave, then cleaned up the rest of the mess. 'Strange' he thought, picking up the sponge. 'She really is'nt what she seems.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kai was just about to head for his own room when he saw Queen coming out of the bathroom ahead.
"Um, so you sleeping now?" asked Kai, walking over to his room door, which was next to hers.
"Yeah, got to get an early rest, I don't like waking up late." Queen replied, opening her door. "I'll see you tomorrow, Hiwatari."
Kai nodded again, and got into his bedroom, painted in deep, midnight blue, a large king-sized, four poster bed was against the wall, across from the windows. He then got himself ready for bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kai was deep into his sleep, many things rushing into his head. Old memories, like the time when they won the world championships. There they were, basking in the glow of glory, Tyson posing for the cameras as always.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
When a peircing scream woke him up from his dream.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
C.A.: There you go, another chappie, and I'm really sorry for the wait. (If you want to know why the updating takes a while, look in by bio. ) I'm trying to put on my best for each of the chappies, but some parts are to be held until the right time comes. I have to cut this short, cause my mom's timing me! (O_O) Please send me an e-mail if you have questions, and I will be answering them in mostly my bio. Thanks, please I hope you enjoyed!
P.S. I interpreted Kai that way because it was a part in the plot. Please don't hate! (^_^)

"Yeah, yeah, um Queen, I need you to stay there for a while, about two weeks?"
"Where, here? Ya, I guess, since I'm already getting my pregnancy tes.....uh, huh." Queen knew that her brother caught the last part as well.
"....................Queen?" she felt a little embarassed right about now.
".................yeah?"
"Sis, I know you're feeling upset right now, but try to stay positive. I know it sounds weird, but just do it, okay?" Kings' voice had now been reduced to a whisper. "And take care. See you in a couple of weeks"
"I'll try, just for you, King. See you soon." Queen returned the phone back to its' original spot, feeling a tad lighter for her brother had taken the news unusually well. Actually, it was'nt a hundred percent sure, but who knows, right?"

"So, um, you're staying here for a while."

"Hey, wait up!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Queen waited for Kai in the living room. It had oak wooden pannelings, and a domed ceiling. Many books lined one side of the wall, and full-length bay windows lined the opposite side. A large stone fireplace went in on corner, and a flatscreen television went in the other. (A.N. My dream living room..LOL ) Feeling very bored, she glanced out the window.

"What are you doing?!?!" said Queen, taking a wisk that Kai had scrubbed. "You scrub the individual rods too! (A.N. I don't know if that is right ) Honestly, have you no common sense?"
Kai gripped the sponge tighter. Queen had been telling him what to do for the last fiftenn minutes now. In fact, all night, if he counted the time she bossed him around preparing dinner. The thought made his hand spring back and throw the sponge, sending it on Queens head!

Kai watched her leave, then cleaned up the rest of the mess. 'Strange' he thought, picking up the sponge. 'She really is'nt what she seems.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kai was just about to head for his own room when he saw Queen coming out of the bathroom ahead.
"Um, so you sleeping now?" asked Kai, walking over to his room door, which was next to hers.
"Yeah, got to get an early rest, I don't like waking up late." Queen replied, opening her door. "I'll see you tomorrow, Hiwatari."
Kai nodded again, and got into his bedroom, painted in deep, midnight blue, a large king-sized, four poster bed was against the wall, across from the windows. He then got himself ready for bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kai was deep into his sleep, many things rushing into his head. Old memories, like the time when they won the world championships. There they were, basking in the glow of glory, Tyson posing for the cameras as always.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
When a peircing scream woke him up from his dream.

C.A.: There you go, another chappie, and I'm really sorry for the wait. (If you want to know why the updating takes a while, look in by bio. ) I'm trying to put on my best for each of the chappies, but some parts are to be held until the right time comes. I have to cut this short, cause my mom's timing me! (O_O) Please send me an e-mail if you have questions, and I will be answering them in mostly my bio. Thanks, please I hope you enjoyed!
P.S. I interpreted Kai that way because it was a part in the plot. Please don't hate! (^_^)
