Well since some people, can't wait for me to write the next chapter, I am being generous enough o write 2 chapters in the same night. I hope you all appreciate what I am doing. This is for all you people who don't like my cliffhangers! Here you go folks!
3. Faded Memories.
A week had gone by, Amira had finally graduated from her dreaded high school. She was now free, and flying to Japan! Her and Tawn were now over the Pacific Ocean, closing in on Japan. Amira could barely stay in her seat. She had Kai's scarf on, so she could return it to him personally. She was way too excited about this affair. Luckily, she had her friend with her, to help keep her calm.
"You never really told me what your friends here were like. Care to explain?" her friend asked as they were at the baggage claim at Tokyo International Airport.
"Well, let's see, you have got the jolly and hyper Japanese, the hyper American, the ever so cute Chinese and the softened Russian." Amira said that last phrase, with a little bit of a sigh. Tawn just rolled her eyes.
"Let's see. You have a thing for this Russian don't you?" Amira was shocked. She had never told her friend any of this. How could she have found out? " I mean, Kai's the Russian right? The one's name, which you keep doodling in school?" Oh yes, she had blown her cover, and all she could do was blush.
"What? No! What are you talking about? I mean, yeah, we shared something special, but it was TWO years ago." Amira sighed again. 'Please don't let him forget.'
"Well, I'm excited to meet this Rei. He seems like quite the character." Tawn joked, flipping her layered hair and putting on her shades. Both of them gathered their bags and headed through customs, Amira with her head in the clouds. The two quickly got through customs, and rushed out of the Terminal. Amira was the first to spot the brunette who was bounding up and down.
"Amira!" she screamed, running up to her friend and hugging her tightly. When she finally let go, she noticed that another person had decided to come along, against her wishes: Tyson. But, you would guess that those two would be inseparable by now. Amira quickly went over to Tyson, a huge grin on her face.
"Hey Tyson, long time no see eh?" she was about to give a handshake, but was pummeled by a huge bear hug from Tyson.
"Seriously too long." Tyson grinned, finally letting go.
"Ahem." Was heard from the short brunette in the back. The three of them turned to face her, all three of them blushing.
"I'm so sorry. This is Tawn. Tawn, this is Hilary and Tyson, her boyfriend." Amira squeaked, as she pointed out each of them and all shook hands. "So, what's first on the agenda?"
"Well, we were thinking that you two could stay at the dojo for a while, seeing as Hilary's house is too small." Tyson smirked, as she put his arm around his girlfriend. "All the guys will be waiting there anyways, awaiting your arrival."
'So much for the surprise meeting then eh?' Amira thought as she nodded her head. "Sounds like a plan to me."
"So, how has everyone been doing? You didn't really tell me much over the phone you know." Amira asked, seated in the back of Tyson's black mini with Tawn, Hilary and Tyson at the front.
"Well let's see. At school, Rei has been getting a lot of attention at school. But he doesn't seem to have gotten over you though." Hilary laughed, making her friend blush furiously. Tawn just smirked, as she had been told the story many times before. "Max and Kenny are the same, hyper and happy as ever."
"What about Kai?" Amira immediately asked.
"Well, he's been getting a lot of the girls lately, but you know his style, he's always rejecting them."
"Anything else?"
Hilary and Tyson exchanged nervous glances before answering. "Nope, that seems to be about it." Tyson replied, before parking the mini into the driveway. They all helped out with the luggage, and heading for the front door.
"Knock, knock.." GLOMP! Next thing she knew, Amira was on the floor. Apparently, she was just tackled to the ground, but Max, who was hugging her tightly.
"Amira! I can't believe you came!" he squealed, finally helping her to her feet.
"I know Max. I knew I had to come back." Amira smiled, giving him a huge bear hug.
GLOMP! Ok, now she was on the floor, but this time, it was Rei who had tackled her. Kenny was standing beside the two, smiling the biggest grin known to man. Rei just blushed, and helped her once again, to her feet.
"It's great to see you all again." Amira said gratefully, her eyes stinging with tears. Hilary nodded and handed her a tissue.
"Hey, what's say we all go to the park?" Max chirped in.
"Ahem." Once again, everyone turned to face the short brunette.
"I am soo sorry Tawn. Guys, this is my friend Tawn. Tawn, this is Max, Kenny and Rei." Just as Tawn was going to shake Rei's hand, they locked eyes and stood there for a while. They only snapped out of it when Amira started to make funny noises to wake them up and Max shook Rei, HARD.
"Yeah guys, let's go to the park." Amira squealed as they all filed out of the dojo.
"So guys, do you know where Kai is?" She squeaked, as the group made their way to the park. A few of them exchanged glances, but thankfully Amira didn't notice. She was still whistling a familiar tune and skipping along. She seemed to forget the question, and didn't bother to ask again.
It was a pretty good day at the park. They had enjoyed themselves, just fooling around and having fun chats and things. Amira was definitely going to enjoy her time in Japan for her month. After this, she was hoping to maybe move here when she older, but nothing was certain yet.
As the group exited the park, Amira took a famous scarf out of her pocket and hung it around her neck. All of the friends had stared at her in shock.
"Hey, isn't that Kai's?" Kenny chirped.
"So you had it the whole time? God, I thought he lost it over the years. I guess you guys had something special." Hilary smiled.
"Still do." Amira smiled. Just then, something caught her eye. The figure that was by the restrooms looked awfully familiar. The figure wasn't facing her, but she could recognize it anywhere: it was Kai. His blue-slated hair hadn't changed; he was leaning against the wall, his back to her. He was wearing a muscle shirt that revealed all of his muscles. Amira couldn't feel her heart pounding like crazy. It had seriously been too long! She started to run across the field. Something stopped her though.
"Kai." She yelled, but it wasn't loud enough. She started to walk towards him, when suddenly a girl had rounded the corner of the restroom and headed straight for Kai. She slung her arms around his neck.
Amira froze right on the spot. What in the name of hell was going on? Suddenly, Kai's and Amira's eyes had seen each other and stayed locked, just shocked. Suddenly, the girl had captured Kai's lip in a lip lock, in which he couldn't get out of.
Amira just stood there, frozen, just staring. Her hands were outstretched, with Kai's scarf, lying on top of her hands; ready to be given back to the man she loved.
'I thought we had something special. I guess I was wrong.' Tears started to stream down her face, and she was still unable to move. Finally the girl had let go of Kai, and he ran over to Amira.
"Amira, I can't believe you're here. Look, it's not what it looks like.." he held his hand out and grabbed the scarf. Amira's mouth started to twitch like crazy, with the tears still streaming down her cheeks. She suddenly pulled away.
"GET AWAY FROM ME KAI! I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING. AND NOW YOU HAVE THIS…THIS GIRL HANGING AROUND YOUR NECK. I THOUGHT, AND I WAS WRONG!!!!" she screamed in his face. She wiped her face.
She ran, leaving him in the dust, once again.
I know this chapter was pretty sad, and I'm not used to writing it, so I hope I did a good job at it. Don't worry about Kai and Amira's ending. I just need to add some twists. Anyways, read and review!!
