-Sniff- I know that ending was SAD! God, I was almost bawling my eyes out.
Puppalupp2008- not to worry, everything will be sorted out! –Hands her a tissue and a cookie- Thanks for sticking with me!
carmen- the rest of the story will be a little depressing, but like I keep saying, the ending will be happy. Thanks for the review!
Mzhiwatari- I couldn't believe Kai would do that either. But hey, it's the way the story goes. Cookies for you!
Ms.SoUrPuSs- um, do you need a tissue there. I didn't know anybody would cry that much for one of my stories. Well, it tells me that my work is appreciated.
Wounded-raven- thanks for the awesome review Hun! I know it was sad, but I'm glad to know that it is amazing! Cheers!
Native-kitten- thanks for letting me know that this is great, even though you were at a loss of words, haha.
Allie- yeah, I'm glad you could guess that he took it the wrong way. If he didn't, where would I be at this point?
Chibiwolfgurl- don't worry about it Hun, the forces of love and nature will bring these two back together. Otherwise, why would I be writing this? –winks-
Tsunami-chaos- those are some pretty good ideas you have there. I'm not really one for violence, but maybe one of your ideas will come into play in this story. I was kind of on a writer's block, but now I have new ideas and ready to tackle this once more. Glad you enjoy it!
6. I will remember you
"Tawn, wake up." Amira shoved her friend out of her sleeping spot, with little success. All Tawn did was grunt, and continue to sleep.
She couldn't take it anymore. With one foul swoop, she kicked her friend right in the behind. The whole dojo was filled with the sound of a scream.
"Ow, what did you do that for?" Tawn growled, rubbing her backside with immense care. Amira plopped down beside her.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"Is that apartment still open?" she asked, rubbing her eyes, trying to get the last bit of sleep out of them.
"Oh Amira, have you been crying again?" she asked with concern. Her friend shook her head and winced. "Come on, you can't fool me, you know that."
"I-I just can't take it. It's only been two days, and I have had enough shocks to last a lifetime." She winced once again. Her friend put an arm around her shoulder and embraced her.
"I understand, sweetie. Is it that you want to get away from it all for now? Living in the apartment?" Amira smiled sheepishly, and slowly nodded. "I guess it could be arranged, considering that it is not far from here. One thing is, it's located right by Taisho Park, which people say is the rich and snobby neighbourhood. Juts keep to yourself alright?" Amira nodded, then turned again with a quizzical look.
"Wait? You're not coming?"
"Don't plan on it. I was thinking of staying, just to keep and eye on Rei." She winked, making Amira giggle like an old school girl.
"Fine, just help me with my luggage then eh?" She shrugged.
"Sure, we'll borrow Tyson's car for the time being. He'll never know." She smiled, packing up her friend's suitcase and organizing her things.
"Amira, you forgot something." The woman in the doorframe whipped around to see a small ring, with a blue stone, sitting in her friend's palm. Her heart sank dramatically.
"Yeah, its mine." She replied in a dull tone, snatching it out of her friend's hand.
"Wow, it's beautiful. Where on earth did you get it?" Tawn asked, peeking over her friend's shoulder as she slowly put it on.
"A friend gave it to me." She shrugged, as she hopped into the mini and they both drove away.
As they approached their destination, both girls went bug-eyed. Taisho Park looked spectacular! Old willows whistled in the wind, revealing the amazing greenery that hid beneath. All of the houses were enormous, all gorgeous architecture, covered in ivy.
"Well this is our stop." Tawn announced, as she parked in front of the townhouse. This building looked so elegant, you would think that it was one of those fancy estates.
"Welcome!" Both girls turned around to see a tall, proud man, striding towards them. He had excellent posture, and the most amazing shade of hair: bright red. "What can I help you beautiful ladies with, seeing as you have parked your car right in front of my building?"
"My friend here, will be renting out one of your apartments for the month. I have the cheque right here." Tawn said, as she started to fish through her purse.
"Excellent. What might your name be Miss?" The man asked, while receiving the cheque from Tawn.
"Amira, sir. Amira Kent." She replied, flashing a huge grin.
"Pleased to meet you. Oh, and please call me Luke, or Luke Valkov, if you like." He outstretched his arm, and they firmly shook hands.
"Pleased to meet you too, Mr. Valkov." She replied sheepishly.
"Would you like a tour?" Amira nodded. She gave Tawn a hug, and followed the man inside.
All of the rooms were absolutely gorgeous. Amira's room was accustomed with all of the Japanese fixes: paintings and symbols on the wall, equipped with the sliding doors. Out back, there was a pool and patio, to which Amira was always welcome.
"Where should I put this dad?" came a young masculine voice from the doorway. Amira turned to face a young man, carrying all of her things. He had a very satisfying build, and the clothes he wore showed off his muscles. Just like Mr. Valkov, this man had the same expressive eyes and flaming red hair.
"Over there. Amira, I would like you to meet my son, Tala. You will be seeing a lot of him, since you will be living here for a while." He smiled.
"A pleasure." Tala reached out, kissed Amira's hand and left the room, leaving the young girl stunned.
"Well then, if you need anything, just call Tala or myself and we will get it for you. For now, go enjoy the pool." Mr. Valkov smirked, before leaving the room.
After a quick shower and unpacking, Amira made her way to the pool and patio. Wearing her spaghetti strap black bikini, she settled down on a deck chair and pulled out one of her many romance novels.
"Boo."
Hope you guys liked that chapter. It lightened up the mood a bit right? Well, at least I hope it did. Then again, it's up to that you, the reviewers, to let me know what you think! Peace out!
