Chapter 8 Feeling Have Been Found

The next morning Ani woke up and looked at the clock to realize that it was nearly noon. She screamed and ran into the shower.

'Kai is so going to die! I have to practice for the tournament', she thought as she dressed in black baggy cargo pants, black gloves, and her purple halter top.

She quickly brushed her hair and then ran down the stairs towards the small training room that everyone else was in.

"KAI", she screamed and she saw him squirm a little.

"What", he snapped turning around.

"Why didn't you wake me up again? Its noon", she screamed.

"Cause Ray said not too", Kai lied.

"LIAR! Now tell me before I rip your head off of your body", Ani screeched.

"No", Kai turned back to training.

"God dammed Kai you tell me now", Tyson and the others ran out the door fleeing from her wrath.

"And what if I don't", a smirk edging its way onto his lips.

"Then I will be forced to hurt you", Ani took a step towards him.

"No I will not tell you the real reason for my actions", Kai smirked.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr! FINE", she whipped her head around and stomped out of the room.

"I can't believe him! Thinking he can get away with this", Ani mumbled to herself.

Ani walked outside and towards the park. It was spring and she wanted to take a breather before she seriously did tear Kai's head off and fried it. After that she would've given it to Tyson to eat.

Mistress that's not nice, Nami spoke in her head.

"I know that but what else am I going to do! He's treating me like I'm 5", Ani spoke a loud.

Did you ever wonder why, Nami asked quietly.

"Does it fucking matter! He's treating me like I'm 5 and thinks he knows what's best for me. I'm a big girl I don't need someone like him too take care of me! I can take care of myself", Ani screamed to know one in particular.

Suddenly she felt sick to her stomach and keeled over. Nami started worrying and left Ani's mind to someone else's. The world around Ani went blurry and then nothing but darkness.

(Flashback)

2 small girls sat on the grass covered hill. One of the girls was watching her mother. The other girl continued to play. Anica looked up at her father as he came towards them.

"Hi daddy", she spoke.

"Elizabeth you should go inside before you catch a cold", a tall man said to the little girl sternly.

"Daddy you don't have to worry about me! I'm 9 years old not 5. I can take care of myself", the small girl spoke bravely.

"Your right your no little girl anymore, but come inside anyway. Mommy's making chocolate chip cookies", he picked her up.

"Yay"!

(End Flashback)

"Guys I think she's coming to", a loud voice said.

"Tyson shut up. She's going to have a bad headache if you keep this up", a familiar Ray said.

"What happened", Ani said wearily.

"You past out or something, Kai found you. Said something like he heard a voice calling him towards you. Anyway your at the Hotel", Max explained to her.

"Where is Kai", Ani asked sitting up.

"I went to get you some medicine so you'll feel better", came a voice from the doorway.

Everyone turned their heads to see Kai with a bottle of some type of liquid.

"No way in hell are you making me drink that", Ani backed away from them all.

"Don't worry Ani we're not seriously putting this down your throat", Kai said calmly, "Too messy".

"Phew for a minute there I thought I was actually going to have to drink that shit. Besides if any of you come near me with that bottle I'll kick you where then sun don't shine", Ani settled down in bed.

"Uh… yeah we would never do that", Max sweat dropped.

"Anyway how long was I out for", Ani got up.

"About 3 hours why"?

"Good I still have time to practice. What do you say Tyson? A match just between us", Ani winked at him.

"YEAH", Tyson raced down the hall and down to the training room.

"Let's go, before he breaks something", Ray sighed.

(Training room)

"3…2…1 LET IT RIP", Max screamed!

"Nami let's do this", Ani yelled out to her bitbeast.

"Dragoon we can beat her into the ground", Tyson yelled.

Nami blew into Dragoon with lightning speed as he swerved around it. Dragoon rammed Nami into the wall, leaving no escape.

"Nami black water mist", Ani said calmly.

Nami escaped his clutches when black vapor circled around the stadium.

"Dragoon use hyper victory tornado to clear the dish", Tyson ordered.

Dragoon did as was told and cleared Nami's attack. When everything was cleared Nami was no where to be seen.

"Where'd she go", Tyson looked around.

"Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, what goes up must come down", Ani pointed upwards and there was Nami flying in the air.

A purple light erupted from Ani's blade and the same woman from in her dream stepped forward. Dragoon also came forth from his blade and they began a struggle. In the end Nami and Ani won.

"I can't believe what just happened", Tyson stared at his blade.

"What? Never been beat by a girl before", Ani smirked at him.

"That was an awesome battle", Tyson outstretched his hand to shake hers.

"I think you need more training but sure I guess a hand shake will at least show me that you're a good sport", Ani shook his hand.

(Later that night)

"Who wants pizza", Tyson screamed.

"We need ice cream too", Max followed Tyson out the door.

"You go on with out me", Ani called from in the kitchen.

"You sure", asked Ray at the door.

"Positive I'll be alone and you don't have to worry about me".

"What happened to Kai"?

"Left when Tyson started his complains at how hungry he was. Anyway bring back something good to eat"!

"What's left of it you mean. After Tyson gets a hold of it, it'll be gone in 10 seconds".

"I bet 8 seconds", Ani grinned.

"We'll be back later, see ya", Ray left the room and followed Tyson and Max down the hall to the store.

'Finally the whole place to myself', Ani thought and took a relaxing shower.

Since she still felt a little nauseous she took the medicine that Kai bought and then went to take the shower that was calling out her name. When she got out no one was back so she got dressed and decided to scope out the neighborhood.

Guys-
Went out to walk be back at 5. And if Tyson eats all the food I will surely kill him so don't even think about it. It's now 3:38 so don't worry. I promise that I'll be back by 5.
-Anica

She laid the note down on the kitchen table and left the Hotel. She looked at all the people coming back from work and from picking up their kids. She walked around the city and saw more of the same things. She stopped inside a bakery and got a donut and a cup of iced tea. When she finished she walked around the park and saw nothing interesting except for a little kid beyblading with his friends.

She looked at her watch and realized that it was a quarter to five. She started on her way back to the Hotel meeting a guy she didn't know. He had dark red hair with a baseball hat on. He was also dressed in a baseball uniform.

"Hey what's your name?" He asked.

"I'll only tell you if you tell me your name first." Ani glanced at him.

"The name's Michael of the PPB All-Stars. Now you have to tell me your name."

"My name is none of your business." Ani took her time walking until Michael grabbed her arm.

"We made a deal and I want to know your name." He glared at her.

"Sorry but I don't feel like giving you my name so unless you want to deal with my boyfriend I suggest that you let go of my arm." Ani said coldly.

Michael glared harder at her. "And who's your boyfriend?"

"My boyfriend is Kai Hiwatari so unless you want to deal with him, let go."

Michael looked as if he had to swallow a bee's nest and he immediately let go and walked away. Ani sighed and made her way back up to the Hotel. When she walked in Kai was they're looking out the window, a smirk plastered on his face.

"So I'm your boyfriend?" he turned to face her.

"I had to say something so that he would leave me alone. Besides you'd make a very nice boyfriend." Ani winked at him and laughed when she saw his face that was blushing a good shade of pink. "Don't worry it was only to make him go away."

"Sure it was. Anyway we have to leave to go meet the others at a restaurant and drag Tyson away from it. Ray called to say that he had eaten it out of business again."

"Why do I have to come? I know for a fact that you can handle it by yourself. You don't need me to come."

"Come on honey we need to leave get your jacket on it's chilly out there." Kai left for the door after getting his own jacket on.

"Ha ha very funny Kai." Ani grabbed her coat and followed him out the door.

They walked in silence and were crossing the road when a car started speeding down the road-heading straight for Ani. She stared at it like a dear caught in the headlights and it was about to hit her when warm arms wrapped themselves around her slender waist and pushed her to the sidewalk along with themselves falling on top of her. Ani hesitantly looked up to see Kai yelling at the driver who had just turned a corner. He then turned to Ani with worry in his usual emotionless eyes.

"Are you alright?" he asked still not noticing how close they were.

"Y-y-yeah I'm fine." She tried not to look into his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Kai asked again.

Ani looked up into his eyes as she heard him and immediately had butterflies in her stomach and she knew for a fact that if she were standing up her knees would buckle. Ani didn't realize that she got lost in his swirling gray orbs that he had gotten up and was bent down about to pick her up. Anica snapped out of her daze and got up before he had the chance.

"Are you sure your okay?" he asked again.

"Yeah I'm sure. Do you know who that was?" Ani looked to where she was moments before.

"It was Michael. Guess he doesn't take rejection well cause he almost killed you. God he almost killed you! I'll kill him!" he snarled as he pulled her close to him.

Ani was speechless for a minute and then started enjoying the feeling of his arms around her. It reminded her of a father that was protecting his child.

Kai pulled away from her and looked at her worriedly. "C'mon let's get over to the restaurant."

He led her over to the place and noticed that she limped a bit when she walked. He stopped and carried her bridal style inside to see Tyson fighting with the manager.

"You pay the bill or else I'll call the police." The man looked at Tyson with a horrible glint in his eye to tell them all that he wasn't kidding.

"I'm sure my friend will be here soon. He'll pay the bill just don't call the police!" Tyson replied.

"Ray!" Kai called and Ray came over. "Carry Ani until I get back. She seems to have a sprained ankle or something."

Kai left over to the manager and straightened everything out. He then dragged Tyson out of the restaurant and towards the Hotel. In the process he picked up Ani who had fallen asleep in Ray's arms. He mentally smiled at how she cuddled up to him in her sleep, and then mentally slapped himself when he started thinking that she was cute.

They all walked to the Hotel no one saying a word. Kai put Ani in their room and left to scream at Tyson. He then entered the room again and went to bed after checking if Ani was sleeping.

He changed into a pair of black boxers and a white baggy shirt that was even a little to big for him and got into bed.

He stared at Ani while she was sleeping and finally found something in his stomach that was unusual. He stared at her for a few more minutes and then fell asleep after turning out the light.


Kai's Little Angel here and it seems that this is my longest chapter yet. If your asking what Kai is feeling right now is that he cares for Ani. Aw I know it's so cute and is he going to confess his feeling to her? Who knows? What about Ani's feelings you ask? We'll just have to wait and see what happens next in the next chapter. If I even get a time to typing it. Anyway since it's one week to Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
