My Everything
Chapter 2: Corridor chase
"Oh hi Kai-kun. Imagine running into you here. I had no idea you went to this school" Melissa said exaggeratedly.
It was only then that Akina and Kai realized that Melissa was wearing the school's black pleated skirt hitched up to her thigh and the white shirt unbuttoned to expose more skin than needed.
Tell me this was not happening a voice spoke up in Kai's head.
"Kai-kun? Are you listening to me or not?" Melissa whined jolting Kai back to reality.
Akina suppressed the need to roll her eyes at Melissa's ridiculous attire with difficulty. It was barely recognizable as the school uniform.
"Why is it Hiragazaki that you are always around Kai-kun?" Melissa said turning her nose up at Akina.
"You know I've often wondered that myself too," Akina said in feign thoughtfulness. "But then I remember- Kai is my boyfriend after all"
Both Kai and Akina watched in fascination as Melissa fumed at being reminded that they were together and wondered what course of action she would chose next.
When she just proceeded to merely stand there and throw greasy looks at Akina while staring at Kai with her violet eyes, Akina felt the need to speak up once more.
"Did you just transfer to this school?" she questioned politely wondering if she was wearing the school uniform for a purpose or just for the hell of it. Who knows, stranger things have happened before.
"Yes I have. I did not know that you and Kai-kun both go to the same school Hiragzaki" she bit back.
"Oh please you don't need to be so formal. Call me Akina or Crystal if you like" Akina all but chirped sending a sidelong glance in Kai's direction.
"I think we need to be getting to homeroom now Akina" Kai spoke up and Melissa turned to him once more to flutter her eyelashes at him.
"Of course dear Kai-kun. I'll see you around then" Melissa said before sauntering off, her hips swaying in an exaggerated fashion.
"Oh dear god, do the fates think it's funny to mess with my life" Kai grumbled as he and Akina walked through the nearly empty corridors to their homeroom.
"Her eyes weren't always violet were they? I suppose she must've gotten contacts or something." Akina remarked. "I think her uniform is several sizes too small as well"
"Yeah, she looks like a hooker" he scoffed, disgust clearly apparent in his voice.
'Maybe they didn't have her size?" she suggested helpfully.
"Doubtful. Highly doubtful" Kai muttered. "I didn't like her when I was forced to be nice to her at functions. Now she's attending the same school as us. I don't want her to be around constantly"
"There's no need to worry. She's not exactly threatening. Cheer up will you Kai-kun?" Akina told him and patted his back consolingly.
"I can only think of one thing which will cheer me up at the moment" Kai responded slyly with sidelong glace at Akina, his gaze lingering on her soft pink lips.
"You better not be implying what I think you're implying" she shot back, her emerald flecked orbs rolling in Kai's direction. "We're in school and homeroom is about to start any second now may I remind you"
"So? If we're running a little late it won't matter" Kai said stopping in the middle of the hallway and catching a hold of Akina's wrist to prevent her from continuing on without him.
"Kai" she began to say obviously flustered with his intentions.
"Shhh, it's okay. Everybody's in homeroom. We've got at least 15mins before first period" Kai assured her flashing her a mischievous grin.
"Oh no you don't Kai!" Akina warned backing away from him but stopped short and she realized that he still retained a loose grip on her wrist. Before he had enough time to react she swiftly slipped her arm out of his grasp and took off down the hallway.
"Get back here Akina" Kai called out and raced after her, their footfalls echoing in the now empty hallway.
"Run run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm a gingerbread man" Akina returned in a sing song voice pausing to turn around and poke her tongue out at him before continuing to sprint through the school.
Kai was barely surprised at Akina's swift pace. He did have P.E with her after all and was more than aware of her athletic abilities. But despite that, he eventually caught up to her due to the fact his legs were naturally longer than hers.
The moment he had reached within reaching distance of her his arm shot out grasping her arm using her momentum against her to twist her to face him.
"Damn" Akina muttered underneath her breath.
"Seems like I've won this round" he said, a triumphant smirk tilting his lips.
"Just because you won this round doesn't mean you've won the whole game ne?" she merely responded with a wink before darting out of his grasp once more.
Kai growled and swiftly closed the distance between them in a few strides before she could get further than a several meters.
"Oh no you're not getting away this time," he told her as she stepped backwards.
Kai noticed her backwards shuffled and his smirk only grew. He matched her step for step until her back was pressed up against the wall.
An eep was emitted from Akina's mouth as she realized she was cornered when Kai's arms leaned themselves against the wall on either side of her, positioning her in the middle.
"There's no point in trying to escape again." Kai warned her lowering his face to look directly into her eyes. "You know I think I'll have to punish you for your attempted escapes"
"Don't you lay a finger on me Kai Hiwatari! I'll kick your ass before you can!" Akina retorted obviously unaware of the type of 'punishment' he had in mind for her.
In an instant Kai's arms disappeared from the sides of Akina's head and wrapped themselves possessively around her slim waist, pulling her body flush against his. Before Akina even had a change to protest, Kai's mouth swooped down to claim hers in a demanding kiss. His tongue flickered over her lips, seeking entry to her mouth and she gasped allowing him to dart past her parted lips.
Kai smirked against her lips when a soft moan sounded from the back of her throat as his tongue slowly massaged hers.
"We need to get to class" she said breathlessly when they came up for air.
"Mmm," he murmured before leaning in to grasp Akina's bottom lip between his teeth gently. Her now hazy baby blue orbs expanded comically when Kai's intense auburn eyes burned into her.
Releasing his grasp on her bottom lip, Kai's lips grazed her slender neck, placing gentle kisses here and there as Akina's arms slowly traced circles over Kai's shirt covered back and her eyes drifted shut as Kai tasted her sweet smooth skin.
A gruff ahem came from behind them followed by a deliberate cough.
Both teens' whirled around to face none other than their principal.
Akina's eyes had snapped opened and she regarded him wearily.
Crap.
"You two. My office. Now" he simply stated before literally stalking off in the direction of his office.
"Shit, this can't look good" Kai moaned and Akina rolled her eyes at the principal's retreating figure.
"All because you decided that you wanted to 'punish' me" she scoffed in reply.
"Hey you can't deny that you weren't into that" he replied and smirked smugly when her blush intensified at his response.
"You are so arrogant sometimes that I wonder why I'm even with you in the first place" Akina muttered.
"That's because I'm so damn irresistible" Kai answered and was promptly rewarded for his comment with a smack on the head from Akina. "Hey that hurt"
"Aww, you want me to kiss it better?" Akina teased him.
"That'd be nice" he said hopefully.
"Well tough 'cause I'm not going to. We're enough trouble as it is" she said stifling a giggle when his face fell and a scowl settled over his mouth.
"Ahh, Mr. Hiwatari, Miss. Hiragazaki please go right through. Mr. Stuart is expecting you" the sectary informed them when they arrived at the office.
"Thank-you" Akina responded as they passed by the desk and Kai opened the door and stepped aside to allow her through first.
"Mr. Hiwatari, Miss. Hiragazaki. It's about time you arrived. I was afraid that you had forgotten the way to my office" Mr. Stuart said dryly.
Kai's left eyebrow twitched in annoyance. Already this guy was beginning to annoy him.
"Now I'm sure that you know my view on public displays of affection in my school?" he continued glaring at them as if daring them to disagree.
"Yes sir" was the response chorused from the two students.
"And you are aware that your activity goes against my principals?" he questioned.
"Yes sir" was automatic reply.
"Well then what do you two have to say for yourselves? Not only were you breaking school policies but you had obviously decided that your activity was more important than attending homeroom" Mr. Stuart continued to lecture.
Glancing over at Akina out of the corner of his eye, Kai saw that she had a straight face on, nodding in agreement with Mr. Stuart in the appropriate places. He restrained the need to snort at the blustering old man's ramblings.
Like he gave a fuck.
On closer inspection of Akina, Kai found that her emerald flecks were twinkling merrily below the sea of blue, a sure sign of amusement and withheld giggles.
Time to put an end to this.
Tuning back into Mr. Stuart's lecture, he realized that the both of them has just been issued with detention twice a week for the next month.
An idea began to form itself in Kai's mind and he chuckled inwardly.
"Mr. Stuart, I am unable to attend your detentions as my father will expect me to be home directly after school" came Kai's smooth voice cutting into the principal's scolding.
"Your f-f-father?" he stuttered in reply as his thin face paled considerably. He knew extremely well that Kevin Hiwatari was a major contributor to the school's fund. It was only last year that he provided the funds for the construction of the new lecture hall which by the way was named after him. As well as providing funds, Kevin Hiwatari was held in high regard by the school board and he held a fair bit of influence over them.
Akina caulked her side to one side as she observed the principal's sudden change in mood. No longer was he glaring at them openly but was now looking at them with a nervous look in his eye, perspiration dotting his forehead while his mouse like eyes continued to dart frantically around.
"Yes my father" Kai confirmed pleasantly.
"Oh, I see then. Well in that case you both are excused from the detentions. Just make sure that this doesn't happen again" he finally spat out before gesturing for them to exit his office.
"Well that was fun" Akina commented sarcastically.
"Yeah, I suppose my father's name does have its uses" he merely replied. "But seriously that principal is such a dick. I have a good mind to get him fired. God knows I've got the contacts"
"Kai, you shouldn't abuse your power which your family name wields" Akina gently scolded him.
"Bah, why not? It'd be amusing." Kai threw back.
"Yes it would but also think. Mr. Stuart probably has a family which he needs to support. You'd be putting an old man out of his job" she reminded him.
"Must you be so moral all the time?" he said glancing towards his dark haired girlfriend.
"Somebody has to be your conscience" she cheekily replied and Kai was about to reply when she slipped her small hand inside hers, lacing her slim fingers between his. "Anyway we need to get to class ne Kai-kun?"
"I like clothes and make-up and-"
A sudden SLAM interrupted Melissa's introduction and all heads turned around to see the source of the sudden noise.
There stood an impassive looking Kai holding hands with a sheepish looking Crystal.
Gee what could've kept them? Tala thought sarcastically to himself.
"So glad that the two of you could join us" Ms. Carmel chirped, no sarcasm intended.
"Sorry we were chatting to Mr. Stuart" Crystal replied in an equally cheerfully voice.
Boy could that girl act when the time called for it But then again it might not be an act taking into consideration the fact that Crystal was indeed so damn innocent when it came to several things Tala thought vaguely with a snort as Kai and Crystal slid into the seats next to him.
Kai didn't miss the glare which had been sent their way by Melissa when they had interrupted her introduction. That was the reason why he closed the door a little louder than needed.
"Hi Kai-kun" Melissa called out to him from her position at the front of the class room.
Kai struggled not to roll his eyes. Why, out of all the schools in Tokyo did she have to pick to attend the very same one in which he went to? Of course it probably was just a coincidence. She most likely went through the trouble so that they would be in the same school.
"Don't worry I'll protect you" Crystal assured him playfully before giving his hand a little squeeze.
"Ooh, I wonder who wears the pants in your relationship" Rei mockingly said and Kai glared at him.
"Shut up Rei. Nobody asked for your opinion" he bit back before settling down in his seat and closing his eyes, blocking out Melissa's irritating breathy voice.
"Bah, I can't believe that she's in all of my classes!" Kai complained during lunch that day.
"Chillax Kai, like I've said before she's not exactly threatening. You could take her out easily" Crystal told him lazily as she sat perched on his lap.
"I don't hit girls" was Kai's flat response.
"Well then Crystal will take care of her right?" Mariah said sending a sidelong glance to her.
"Hmm" Crystal replied non-committingly.
"Heh, I'd pay to see that" Rei joked.
"What would be the point? We all know that Melissa will be out cold in an instant" Tala reminded them
All of them knew about the incident at the shopping center a few months ago.
"Anyway, I don't think she's that bad" Crystal spoke up and was subject to an incredulous stare from Kai. "What? Okay she can get pretty annoying but seriously, nobody can be all bad ne?"
"Tell me you're joking" Kai asked her and Crystal inclining her head in confusion.
"Everybody has good in them" she merely replied.
"God Crystal, you sound like a nun" Tala said with a shake if his head.
"I am not a nun thank you very much" Crystal huffed crossing her arms.
"Well you certainly sound like one" Tala responded. Oh how he loved to torment her.
Before Crystal could come up with a suitable comeback, there was a sudden crash in the middle of the courtyard which drew everybody's attention.
Then a high pitched wail started up and they all winced.
"How dare you! I just had my uniform dry cleaned!" came a shriek.
Standing in the middle of the courtyard was Melissa, with a plateful of spaghetti slowly sliding down the front of her uniform and standing a meter away was Mia, looking blankly at the mess.
"Sorry" Mia finally said.
"Sorry? Sorry? Is that all you can say? Sorry isn't going to clean up my uniform you know" Melissa snarled and stepped forward to push Mia.
Mia stumbled backwards and landed on the hard concrete beneath her.
Melissa glared at Mia, dislike evident in her expression.
"You should stay down there you know? Because you are nothing but dirt beneath my feet" Melissa screeched, her voice rising with every word.
Mia just sat on the ground; her dull grey eyes diverted downwards as Melissa towered over her and continued to shout insults about anything and everything about her.
Crystal's forehead furrowed with concern. Nobody should be treated that way, not even Mia. Sure she and Mia weren't exactly friends but she would never treat her like that. It was absolutely degrading. How could Melissa have the nerve to waltz into here and just abuse her like that?
Kai noticed Crystal tense up and saw her hands clench into fists. What was even worse was that her eyes had darkened so that the emerald green now dominated.
"Akina, it's not your fight" he told her, leaning over to whisper in her ear.
"Nobody deserves to be treated that way" she shot back a frown crossing her lips. "Mia should at least fight back"
As soon as those words left her mouth, Mia stood up to her full height and glared at Melissa.
Without a word, her hand shot out and slapped Melissa across the face.
The courtyard went silent as everybody watched in anticipation as to what would happen next.
Melissa stood there in shock unable to comprehend what had just happened. But slowly, understanding dawned on her face and she lifted her chin up definitely.
"You will pay" she spat before throwing herself onto Mia and everybody crowded around the wrestling pair.
"Bitch" Mia hissed and pulled on Melissa's bleached hair.
"Hoe" Melissa retorted and dug her nails into Mia's arm.
"GIRLS!"
At the sudden voice, Mia and Melissa untangled themselves and looked up to see a teacher staring angrily at them.
"Straight to the principal's office now" the teacher demanded before leading the two girls off.
The entire courtyard instantly burst out in chatter.
"Well that made my day more exciting" Tala remarked with an amused smirk.
See, told you that the second chapter would be better than the first. But umm......the next chapter is kinda dodgy. Sorry if Akina/Crystal seems like a Mary Sue or whatever in the first few chapters but I have a reason for making her native.......it'll tie in with the plot in the next few chapters so don't flame me about that. I'm still having a bit of trouble with the plot so please e-mail me any suggestions you have. Thanks to all those who review last chapter. Anyway please review okay?

As soon as those words left her mouth, Mia stood up to her full height and glared at Melissa.
Without a word, her hand shot out and slapped Melissa across the face.
The courtyard went silent as everybody watched in anticipation as to what would happen next.
Melissa stood there in shock unable to comprehend what had just happened. But slowly, understanding dawned on her face and she lifted her chin up definitely.
"You will pay" she spat before throwing herself onto Mia and everybody crowded around the wrestling pair.
"Bitch" Mia hissed and pulled on Melissa's bleached hair.
"Hoe" Melissa retorted and dug her nails into Mia's arm.
"GIRLS!"
At the sudden voice, Mia and Melissa untangled themselves and looked up to see a teacher staring angrily at them.
"Straight to the principal's office now" the teacher demanded before leading the two girls off.
The entire courtyard instantly burst out in chatter.
"Well that made my day more exciting" Tala remarked with an amused smirk.
See, told you that the second chapter would be better than the first. But umm......the next chapter is kinda dodgy. Sorry if Akina/Crystal seems like a Mary Sue or whatever in the first few chapters but I have a reason for making her native.......it'll tie in with the plot in the next few chapters so don't flame me about that. I'm still having a bit of trouble with the plot so please e-mail me any suggestions you have. Thanks to all those who review last chapter. Anyway please review okay?
