Thanks a bunch to all of the fans that are sticking through the angst part of my story. There will be fluff, but not for a while, or else the story would not make sense. THEY WILL HAVE A HAPPY ENDING!!! Onto the story!

5. Questioning

'What was I thinking? I want to go to the wedding?' Amira found herself walking in the forest, alongside the park, listening to the wind. She knew her way back to the dojo, so her friends didn't need to worry about her getting back. Now, all she could think of was Kai's face.

When she ran off for the second time, she could see his emotion change dramatically. When they embraced, his eyes lit up. When Kate came along, they went back to being cold and gray. Amira couldn't stand him being like that. If he felt that way, why was he marrying Kate anyways? He obviously didn't love her enough to go through with it.

'Why Kai? Why would you marry her? And why do I keep running from you? Why?' all of these questions couldn't be answered at the present time. Amira tried to come up with the answers, but had no success in it. All she could do was wonder.

"Hon?" Amira looked up to see Tawn facing her.

"Hello."

"Listen, I saw the whole thing happen. You did have a thing for Kai didn't you?" she questioned.

"Yeah, I did, and still do."

"Did he love you back?"

"Yes, and I believe that he still does."

"Then WHY is he marrying that little piece up scum?" this, she could not answer. Nobody really knew the answer, but there were a few that wanted to find out.

"I—don't know." Amira rested her head on her knees, sighing. She didn't know why. She didn't want this to happen. There was nothing she could do. With the date starting to close in upon her, she couldn't do anything to save the man that she loved.

"Well, did you say you were going to the wedding?"

"Yeah…"

"Why Amira? It would only crack the pieces of your broken heart even more. Why bother?"

"Because it's Kai, and it's also polite to do so."

"Well, if you say so." Tawn responded, looking behind the tree, and catching the eye of a certain Chinese boy. She quickly turned around and saw Amira smiling at her, only to notice that she was blushing.

"You like Rei, don't you?" Amira asked slyly, waiting for a response.

"What? No!"

"Oh come on, its so obvious. The way you two look at each other. You basically flirt all the time."

"Ok, maybe I like him, just a little. So what?"

"So what? It's so cute, that's so what!" she shrieked, getting up and hugging her friend tightly. "You guys should seriously go out." All she got from her friend was a blush.

As the two friends started to walk to the group, Amira stopped.

"Coming?" Tawn called out to her, expecting her to come.

"Not quite yet, I need to think some things over first." She gave a feeble smile and waved, before she walked on.

After half an hour or so, it was starting to get dark, but this girl didn't care. She didn't mind the peaceful sounds of the night. It had seemed to calm her down after the day that she had. Something suddenly burst that peaceful bubble.

"AMIRA!" She whisked around, only to find Kai, running in her direction. She didn't know what to do, and there was nothing she could do, being frozen on the spot. When he finally caught up to her, she tried to look away, even though he was irresistible. Composing herself once more, all she did was stare at him. "Amira, there's something you don't understand." He panted, all out of breath.

"What's there to understand Kai Hiwatari? I saw the whole thing. You moved on, with her. There is nothing I can do." What was she saying? These weren't her feelings. This was a voice that was controlled by her anger and hurt. She wanted to be in his arms, but at the moment, all she was, was a snarky know-it-all. What was wrong with her?

"Is that what you think? That I don't care anymore?"

"It's possible. Like I said, there is no room for me in your life." What the hell was going on? Why was she talking like this? Amira kicked herself mentally before talking again. When she looked up, Kai looked petrified, in shock and horrified.

Kai drooped his head, so that his eyes were in the shadows. Amira felt terrible for what she said, and reached out to touch him, but he quickly pushed her hand away.

"Get away from me!" he screeched, making the girl jump back in surprise.

"Kai….it's not like that. I didn't mean.." she was lost for words. Could she say nothing comforting at this point?

"What didn't you mean? You obviously just told me how you feel. Then that's fine, if that's how you feel." He said coldly under his breath, almost a whisper. Amira stared at him in shock. Was he really going to block her out forever? She could feel the tears coming again. When Kai lifted his head up, he lifted her chin, and brought his lips into one final kiss, leaving Amira even more shocked. After, Kai turned on his heel and faced her.

"You know what? Maybe its YOU, who has decided to move on. Maybe you're the one that wants me out of your life. Is that it?" he stared at her coldly. All she could do was sob.

"No Kai, not like that." Amira choked, trying to pull herself together.

"No, don't bother explaining. If that's the way you want it, then fine. I'll stay out of your life, only because I care enough to respect your wishes. You come to the wedding as a distant friend, and nothing more." With one swift motion, he slung his scarf over his shoulder, turned, and walked away.

"Kai…no Kai…wait…KAI!" she screeched, but it was too late. He was at a great distance, no longer capable of hearing her. She dropped to her knees, reaching out to where he was standing only a few moments ago. She sobbed, and choked, for what seemed like an eternity. She called his name many times, but he never came.

For once, Kai had been the one to leave her out in the dust. Leaving her to feel the pain of being rejected from the one she had loved the most.

And all he did was walk out of her life.
