Chapter thirteen: Dance.
Tyson, Max, Kenny, Ray and, to everyone's surprise, Kai, who had decided out of the blue to come along, finally knocked on the door of the girl's cabins.
"Wait a minute!" Someone called. The door finally opened. Revealing four beautifully dressed young women. Hilary had had her hair feathered and loose down her back, her eyes sharp and her skirt and top on. Mariah wore her pink ribbon and a pale pink eyeshadow and Mariam in the same style but in an olive green shade and hernavy hair loose and feathered like Hilary's.
Isis had her hair tied up in a strange kind of knot on the top of her head and the rest of her hair tumbling down in loose curls to the nape of her neck. Her eyeshadow was a lilac colour that shimmered slightly as she turned around to greet them all. Somehow she looked paler than before, more passionate, more deadly.
"Hey you guys! Sorry we were late, Mariam couldn't find her lippy." Isis grinned.
"Er sure, let's go." Kenny answered. They started walking. It wasn't long before they arrived. The music was loud and a lot of people were dancing, others were standing in groups talking or glancing over to where the Bladebreakers now standing.
By now Mariah had dragged Ray off and Mariam and Hilary dragging Max and Tyson to do the same. Kenny had retired already outside, appealing for peace from the raucous techno. Leaving just Kai and Isis.
"So are we going to just stand here or are we going to dance?" She asked him. He smirked and took her hand, both slipped onto the dance floor.
He turned her around so her back rested on his torso. He slipped his hands around her waist. The song was slow yet somehow D12, How come, was hardly romantic. She felt her hips swing gently in rhythm to the music; her hands gripped his arms that kept her close to him.
They danced without realizing for more than two hours, enjoying each other's company, not noticing the others watching them.
"This is the first time I think I've ever seen Kai Hiwatari enjoy himself with another human." Mariam grinned.
"Aw I know." Mariah laughed, watching them dance devotedly together. "Don't you think they look sweet together?"
Tyson choked, coughing and spluttering everywhere. Everyone laughed.
"No! Kai's some grumpy loner and Isis nothing like that!" He protested.
"You're way too protective Ty, I mean; if that was me you wouldn't be bothered." Max told him, he looked over to Mariam, seeing he was receiving deadly looks, "Not that I would... or anything."
Hilary giggled.
"Max is right Tyson. Isis didn't blow her top off because her best friend is going out with you." She blushed slightly, Tyson just scowled. "Fine! You're coming with me!" She shouted dragging him back on the dance floor.
Everyone laughed again.
"So Max, you gonna come dancing?" Mariam asked, her eyes fluttered unnecessarily and he blushed and they went over.
Mariah and Ray laughed at them all dancing. As though it was in joint understanding they walked out onto the deck through one of the doors. No-one had noticed it grow dark from being inside the cabins all day.
They walked down to the side watching the waves lap against the ship. The ship had set off while they were in the cabins.
"I'm glad I did decide to come with you." Mariah sighed happily.
"Why didn't the White Tigers come to this thing?"
"Oh, we weren't invited, which is strange really. Lee was gutted when he found out about it, and Kevin's ran away."
"It's almost like the White Tigers are no more." Ray said. They were both silent for a while.
They both watched as two figures come out of the same door they came out of. They were talking urgently and quietly, his arm around her waist, her head resting on his shoulder.
"Aw, they look sweet, I wonder who they are?" Mariah asked, more to herself than to Ray. He laughed.
"Dunno." He told her. "You're so nosey Mariah."
Kai led Isis down the deck, her head rest delicately on his shoulder. They both felt bliss run through their veins, just by being together.
"I can't do this anymore..." She mumbled; he gripped her waist tighter.
"I know." He told her, they stopped walking. He pulled her into his chest, he felt her tremble slightly.
"So hard..." She whispered. He lifted her chin slightly, tears were forming in her eyes; he wiped them away softly.
"You're strong Isis, we'll get through this." He told her tenderly, she went to look away and he kissed her softly on the lips. He broke away, realizing what he doing. "I..." He was interrupted by her kissing him back. Clinging onto each other passionately, as though they were scared the other would disappear.
She felt his tongue enter her mouth, his hands tracing her body, stroking her hair. She felt shivers run through her body. They felt dizzy from not wanting to breathe for kissing. They broke away, their breath mingled. They stared into each other's eyes; Isis felt her hand reach over to Kai's. Fingers interlocking.
"Every time I'm not with you I feel like something is missing. Every time..." She murmured. She buried her head into his torso seeking comfort. He kissed her hair.
Mariah and Ray were still talking by the side of the ship. Mariah noticed the two figures again, kissing passionately.
"Honestly, they should get a room." She said.
"Who?" "Those two over there, tongues down each others throat."
"Mariah." He sighed.
"What? I'm just saying, it's not like we know them are anything." Mariah pointed out.
She caught a glimpse of the girl's outfit, when someone else opened the door.
"She looks so familiar..." She suddenly remembered where she had seen it before. "Holy shit!" She spluttered.
"What?"
"I think that's Isis! Over there! Look!" She pointed, whispering excitedly.
Ray choked.
"Don't be daft Mariah." He told her indignantly. "Who do you think..? Oh... No way!" He tried to laugh off the thought in his mind.
"Well Mariam was right. First time we saw Kai enjoying himself." She reasoned.
"Heh, you can talk to her when we get back to the cabins. There's no way I'm talking to Kai." Ray told her. "Now we are going to go back inside? I think those... two need some privacy." He shuddered at the thought.
"Come on then, no telling anyone. Okay? There's gonna be a reason they're keeping it quiet." She told him, quietly yanking him into the dance room.
