Thanks a bunch for reviewing!!!! You guys are the best! Yay! Cookies for everyone! I realize that some people were not pleased with how I ended the last chapter and called me a brat –cough- ms. Sourpuss- cough- (that's ok, I still love you!) Anyways, that is why I'm writing more chapters, and that is why I am making a sequel. Don't worry, Kai and Amira will have a happy ending!! Anyways, on to the story!

8. Trying to stop her

"What? You can't leave Amira!" Kai screeched, making the young girl jump back. By this time, everybody had gathered in front of the two, to hear what was going on.

"I'm sorry Kai. But you knew I had to leave sometime right?"

"Right."

"I just didn't realize that it would be sooner than expected." Amira sniffed, grabbing for the tissue and blowing her nose. Her eyes, by now, had become red and swollen.

"Is there any way that we can convince you to stay?" Max finally piped in, breaking the silence between the group. Hilary was the next to speak.

"I'm afraid not Maxie. I mean, this is what her mother wants, and we should respect her wishes. But Max couldn't take it. Amira had become a great friend to him, and he didn't know when they would see each other again. A single tear came down his cheek, but was quickly wiped away.

"Not to worry Max. I promise I will be back, you can count on it." Amira smiled, handing him a tissue and looking around at her greatest friends in the world. They all look mournful, but one face was missing; Kai.

Amira knew that Kai would take this badly. She knew the minute her mother had given her the news. Thinking about it, she couldn't take it either. She was ready to just run away, and just cry her heart out. She didn't want to leave, not now, not ever. She knew that she had to talk this over with Kai, but also knew that he wouldn't want to discuss it. So she grabbed her coat and went outside, claiming to "take a walk". That left all the friends dumbfounded, in the hallway. Tyson was the one, this time, to break the silence.

"She had better not leave. I mean, think of Kai."

"Think of Kai? Tyson, since when do you think about how he feels?" Rei chirped in, a suspicious look on his face.

"Well, since Amira came, he has been acting differently. I think he was so cold to us, was because he needed someone to love. He has found that person, and she's being taken away from him." He pulled Hilary close to him. "Just think how he feels."

"You're right Tyson. I think we were just being inconsiderate." Kenny admitted (what is that? The second time he has talked? lol) all of the friends nodded in agreement. Soon the friends left to blade outside, thinking that it would make Kai feel a little bit better. The only people left in the room were Tyson and Hilary. Hilary rested her head on her boyfriends shoulder.

"Well, if they get separated, let's hope that they fight their way back to each other. Now that would be truly romantic." She softly kissed him on the lips and they both walked out to join their friends.

Max, Tyson and Kenny seemed to be the only ones who were interested in beyblading whatsoever at the moment. Hilary and Rei were lost in thought and deeply worried about their friend. Feeling he could help, Rei left to the group in search of Kai.

Rei didn't have to go far because he spotted his friend on the nearby bridge. When he approached, Kai seemed lost in thought and and just staring at the frozen river below.

"Uh, Kai?" Rei tried to reason, but got no response from the cold Russian. He pondered for a bit, and tried again. "Look, Kai, I know that you are upset about her leaving. Believe me, we will all miss her. That's not reason to give everybody the cold shoulder though."

"Is that what you think?"

"Huh?"

"I'm not just going to miss her Rei, like everybody else. A part of me will go with her. It's eating me alive, and I just can't take it."

"Whoa, man I'm sorry for bursting in like that. Do you want me to go?" Rei asked, being a little confused by his friends outburst.

"No Rei, I'm glad that I got all of that off of my chest. It's just, it's just that…"

"It's just what Kai?"

"Its just that I love her ok? I have never felt like this about anyone before. I can't let her go now? What if she never comes back? What if she finds someone new? What if she…."

"Go on Kai."

"…She forgets me…" Kai hung his head down so his face would be lost in the shadows. He had poured his whole heart out to his friend and he felt like crying. He only had one day to spend with the women that he loved so dearly, and didn't have to ruin any of it.

"Wow Kai, that's deep. Well, since you only have one day, make the best of it ok? Don't worry, and she won't forget you. Amira's not that type of person, Kai." the Chinese boy but his hand on his friend's shoulder for the slightest bit of comfort. The Russian looked up at him, all red eyed, but not a single tear was shed.

"Thanks Rei. I think we can go back now." And with that, they both walked back to the snow-covered dojo.

"Hey guys. Kai, Amira's by the tree, putting on the angel." Hilary greeted the two teens as they came in the front door. Kai nodded and headed in that direction.

Amira had finally dried her eyes and was putting the angel on the tree. The tree in general looked pretty spectacular. There was tons of lint everywhere and many different coloured decorations and lights hanging around the tree. She smiled at the job well done and started to make her way down the stool when she noticed who was standing at the bottom; Kai.

He looked at her with love, and sadness in his eyes. She slowly came down and there was an awkward silence between them. Amira was the first to speak.

"Kai, I didn't.." but her sentence was stopped by the fingers of the man she loved, which were placed her lips.

"Shhh. Don't speak." Se quickly agreed and closed her mouth. "Just promise me one thing."

"Alright." She hesitated, not knowing what the question was, or the statement.

"Promise me that you will never forget me when you leave tomorrow alright?" He whispered as they made their way to the hallway, not a person in sight.

"Don't worry, I will never forget you. After you, I could never fall in love with anyone else."

"Well neither could I." He whispered, placing soft kisses on her neck, making the young teen shiver with delight. After a while he stopped.

"Why did you stop?" Amira questioned.

"I have something else for you. I forgot earlier and now seems like the perfect time." Kai smirked as he fished around in his pocket and held out a small velvet case. Amira took the box slowly, and opened it. Inside, was a beautiful silver chain, with an amethyst stone in the middle, with beautiful earring to match.

"Oh my God Kai. It's beautiful!!" She screeched, hugging him tightly. All Kai could do was stand there and smile.

"I knew you would love it. I knew it was your birthstone, and I thought it would be the perfect gift for the one I love."

"It's perfect Kai. Thank you so much."

"Ahem."

"What is it?"

"Mistletoe. Have to keep to traditions don't we?" both of the teens looked up to find a little bouquet of mistletoe, hanging about their heads. Amira just smirked at her perfect boyfriend.

"Right, that we must." She slowly snaked her arms around Kai neck and lifted her head to meet his. He held the back of her head and tilted it back. Next, he placed his lips on her and kissed her passionately.

Hey guys! What did you think of that chapter? I hope you liked that it ended on a happier note. Well, since it's close to Christmas, I will have to end this story soon, but beginning in the new years, in comes the sequel to this wonderful story. Please review!
