Chapter 15: In your arms again
It was 1.15 pm on a Sunday. Everyone was sitting around the table, in the kitchen, eating lunch.
"Hey guys, I have a suggestion," Kira said suddenly.
"What?" Rei asked.
"I was thinking we could have some fun," Kira stated.
"You have something in mind?" Hilary questioned.
"Two words: snowball fight," Kira said as a smirk took over her face.
A frown came quickly on Kai's face but disappeared just as fast and only Anya noticed it.
"I'm up for it," Rei responded and directed a glance at Veronica.
"Me too," Veronica agreed and smiled back at Rei.
"Count me in," Hilary said.
"Max? Tyson?" Kira questioned.
"Of course!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Max chorused.
"Kai?" Kira questioned, turning to look at him.
"Whatever," he replied.
Kira's smile faded a little at his reply and she gave him an icy look. "I take that as a 'yes'," she said. "You coming, Anya?"
"Sure," Anya answered.
It didn't take them long before they were outside.
"Everyone against anyone. No teams. Agreed?" Kira stated.
They all nodded. Then the first snowball went through the air, hitting Kai in the shoulder. Kira smirked and ran.
"Kai, aren't you going after her?" Max asked.
"Why should I go after her when I can get you?" Kai replied and another snowball made its way. This time it was Tyson's turn to get his.
This created a chaos as Tyson tried to hit Kai, but instead got Hilary.
Soon they had spread up and everyone was chasing someone.
Kira seemed to be picking on Anya, but especially on Kai. Tyson of course got his share from her. He was walking under a tree when a HUGE pile of snow dropped down on him. Kira came down from the tree, laughing herself to death. She got serious soon as she started running away from a furious Tyson.
She had a hard time trying to run and not laugh at the same time. She managed to lose him of her trail as she cut through a war zone, where Hilary and Max were on one side, throwing snowballs at Rei and Veronica on the other side.
Kira saw her chance and gave a snow shower to Max and Hilary. After that she directed snowballs at Rei and Veronica but unfortunately she was only able to hit Rei. Suddenly a snowball made contact with the back of Kira's head.
"What the..." she started, but silenced as she was forced to dodge a snowball.
She turned around and found herself glaring at Anya. A smirk appeared on Anya's face. This made Kira snap. She grabbed snow and ran after Anya, while making a snowball. Soon the snowball was on its way, but missed the original target.
Kai was once again hit. This time there was no hesitation as Kai went after her. Kira heard the footsteps behind her stop. She stopped and turned around, not seeing anyone. Just then she got this creepy feeling. A second later a snowball reached Kira, smacking her in the stomach as she turned.
"That was so low!" Kira screeched, losing her temper fast.
"All is fair in love and war," Kai replied without flinching.
"Oh screw you!" Kira snapped.
"Whatever," Kai said and rolled his eyes in response. 'This is not like her.'
Kai started walking away.
Kira went after Anya. It wasn't long before she found her. Anya was ready to go inside after Kira's treatment.
Anya went straight to the bathroom, to get out of her wet clothes and to hang them, so they would dry out. While Anya was changing, she noticed she had forgot to lock the door. Just as she went to do that, it opened. She found herself staring into Kai's eyes.
He, however wasn't looking at her face, but at her almost naked body. She blushed as she realized that she had only her lingerie. Kai's cheeks were also crimson red. He turned around quickly and a moment later he was gone from sight. Anya locked the door and dressed up.
Anya was walking to her room when she suddenly stopped. She hesitated, but decided to go and apologize to Kai. She took a deep breath before knocking. She opened the door after she heard an answer.
"What do you want?" Kai asked.
"Look, I'm sorry. It was my fault, okay? I was in the wrong bathroom," Anya apologized.
"Fine, whatever," Kai replied.
"It didn't look like that to me, according to your blushing," Anya stated.
Kai's cheeks got a light shade of red, of annoyance or embarrassment.
"Leave," Kai ordered.
"No need to be rude you know," Anya snapped. "What's gotten into you?"
"Nothing," Kai answered.
"Yeah right and cows fly over the moon," Anya mocked.
"Fine, you wanna know what it is, I'll tell you," Kai snapped.
"Well, don't keep me waiting," Anya retorted.
"It's the fact that you have somehow managed to upset Kira and now she is taking it out on me!" Kai shouted.
"So it's my fault Kira is upset!" Anya exclaimed.
"You got it," Kai said and smirked.
Anya was going over the edge any minute, but suddenly something possessed her to do something. She took a quick step forward, closing the gap between her and Kai and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
Kai was too surprised to resist it. When he finally realized what he was doing, it was too late to back out. Anya stopped to look at him, but it didn't take long before they were kissing again. Kai's feelings had gotten the better of him as he put his hands on Anya's hips. Soon he had her pinned against the wall. His mind was constantly telling him to stop, but it wasn't in control, his heart was. Anya slipped her hand to the back of Kai's head to deepen the kiss.
The next thing Anya knew was that she was lying on the bed, Kai next to her. She couldn't stop and neither could he. Kai was moving his hands along her hips while kissing her, sending shivers up and down her spine. Her hands were wrapped around him, not wanting to let him go.
The feeling that was going through her was amazing. It had been a long time since she had last felt it. All she could think about was his touch on her skin. Sparks were flying uncontrollably in the air as she gazed into his eyes while catching her breath. Minutes passed and neither of them made a move, not wanting to break the connection.
Suddenly the door opened and slammed against the wall, breaking the trance. Kai was of the bed in a blink of an eye, but the person at the door had seen them. Kai was making his best death glare, but it didn't turn out so good. Kira snickered.
"Is that your best shot?" she mocked.
Kai couldn't say anything.
"I should have known you two would do something the minute we turn our backs to you," Kira continued and smirked.
"Kira..." Anya started, but was cut off.
"I know what you're going to say," Kira stated. "You were about to..."
This time it was Kira's turn to be cut off.
"Just get out!" Kai shouted, pointing at the door. "Both of you."
Kira grabbed Anya and pulled her out of the room.
"So, how did you do it?" Kira asked.
"Do what?" Anya asked.
"Get my brother into something like THAT," Kira said.
"I don't actually know. It just happened," Anya explained.
"Just happened..." Kira repeated, shaking her head.
"Kira?" Anya asked carefully.
"Hm?" Kira responded, coming back from her thoughts.
"I'm sorry," Anya said. 'Might get this done now that I have the chance.'
"About what?" Kira asked.
"You were right about Stacy. I shouldn't have argued with you," Anya replied.
"Okay..." Kira said, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Friends?" Anya asked.
"Friends," Kira agreed.
Anya smiled and grabbed Kira into a hug.
"You know, just because we are friends doesn't mean you can strangle me," Kira mumbled from Anya's hug.
Anya let go and they both laughed.
"Promise me one thing Anya," Kira said.
"What might that be?" Anya questioned.
"Promise me that you will trust me in the future. I don't want something like this to happen again," Kira stated.
"I promise," Anya replied and they high-fived.
