Chapter 8- Questions
Kai's POV
Toronto Zoo next exit. Read the green sign next to the highway.
Man, was I glad to hear that. Sitting beside Kate was driving me crazy. She rambled on and on about what a horrible person Destiny was.
"Look at her Kai. She thinks she's so special 'cause she's Canadian. Who would want to live in this crummy country anyway?" Kate complained. I rolled my eyes. Could she get anymore jealous? I personally liked this country. The air was definitely cleaner, and it was just amazing.
I looked over at the blonde-haired girl. She was laughing with Cassidy and Mark was sulking. A small smile crossed my lips, barely. I removed it quickly.
"Kai? Kai are you listening to me?" demanded the annoying girl next to me.
"Sure" I answered, my eyes still watching Destiny. Kate followed my stare. She glared at me and I shrugged.
"She has such a bad sense of fashion too, like look at her. Wearing that stupid new jacket. The colours don't even match her outfit." Kate sneered.
Destiny was indeed wearing a new jacket. It was a light blue in colour with white accents. Her pants were black jeans and she was wearing a pink shirt that read "Baby Girl" across the front in white cursive letters. I sighed; listening to Kate wasn't really worth my time.
"You shouldn't really be talking" I retorted back. Undeniably, Kate's bright purple shirt was visible under her orange winter coat. Tight white pants and black heels completed her outfit. She looked rather, er, bright. But still, I knew guys would be drooling over her when we got there.
"What are you talking about Kai, my outfit looks great" Kate argued.
"Not with your coat it doesn't" I told her, realizing just how retarded I sounded after it came out of my mouth. Why the hell was I arguing over this?
"What?" she shrieked, "Oh my god"
I sighed, this was wonderful, "Who cares, it's just a zoo"
"But there are people at the zoo Kai, what am I going to do??" she screeched in horror.
I elbowed Tala in the side, "help me here man"
"Kate, just switch coats with Rose" Tala said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Its times like these I wonder why he isn't gay, but then again, it was my fault this whole 'crisis' was happening. Great, now I'm calling myself gay.
Rose and Kate looked at each other for a second.
"Wow, great idea Tala" Kate squealed in delight and she took her coat off and handed it to Rose. Rose took off her white coat to reveal a white shirt with cut out shoulders and a couple slits in the front. I was surprised 'slut' wasn't written across the front, but then again with so many slits, I wasn't sure it would fit.
"Yea, you saved our lives" Rose winked at him and he leaned down to kiss her. I rolled my eyes, that could go on for a while.
Sighing in relief as we pulled into the zoo's parking lot I quickly stood up and headed for the front of the bus to get off. I swear the only things those girls think about is clothing, guys and social status.
I turned to wait for Tala; he was still busy on the bus. I'd let the principal handle that problem.
"Kai, why didn't you wait for me?" Kate asked me angrily as soon as she stepped off the bus.
I shrugged. Why would I wait for her? Every time I brush her off she comes back stronger. She could get pretty much any guy. What the hell does she want me for?
"Well wait next time" she huffed while grabbing my arm and leading me toward the group.
I pulled my arm away roughly and went to stand with Tala who had finally made his way off the bus.
"Alright students, this is Joanne, she'll be our tour guide. If you have any questions then just ask her" Mr. Dickenson shouted.
We followed her and she told us about the animals as we passed them. Frankly, I couldn't care less and I ditched the group as soon as the principal had his back turned.
I grabbed Tala on my way and we both ran the opposite direction.
Destiny's POVI was listening intently to Joanne tell us about the spotted Leopard when I caught sight of a small group leaving out of the corner of my eye.
Letting my curiosity get the better if me, I quickly hurried after them. I tailed them a short distance behind. Rose and Kate were trying to catch up to the guys.
"Wait" Rose shrieked and the boys turned around. They both looked surprised to see followers.
"What are you doing?" Kai demanded.
"Hey, you can't ditch without us" Rose glared at the blue-haired boy.
Kai rolled his eyes and then looked directly at me. Did he see me? I couldn't be sure, but I knew he was watching so I sat down in the gap inside the bush next to me.
"Fine, I'll be back" I heard him say.
A minute later he was towering over me.
"Uh, hi Kai" I smiled anxiously. He was going to kill me, I just knew it.
"You followed us," he said plainly. I nodded. Was he angry? He didn't look mad. Actually he just looked...blank.
"Sorry" I said quietly, "But the tour was really boring"
"I kn---"
"Kai!! Where are you?" came Kate's shriek. He rolled his eyes.
"Sit in here, she won't find you...she's not smart enough" I patted the ground next to me and shifted over a little to make room. He sat down.
"I think she's gone," I whispered after a minute or so. He nodded. Another long pause.
"Soooooooo" I said lamely. He raised a brow.
I frowned, "Sorry, I was just trying to make conversation. You're not the easiest person to talk to you know"
He shrugged.
"See what I mean?" I exclaimed. He smirked at me.
"You're rather easy to annoy" he said, that cocky smirk still on his face.
"I am not," I argued forcefully. I was totally not easily annoyed.
"See what I mean?" amusement evident in his voice. Ugh, Why do I like him again?
"Fine" I huffed, crossing my arms dramatically. His bangs fell into his eyes. Right, that's why, he's gorgeous. Ok, that's not really it, but it's part of it anyway. What girl doesn't like a drop dead gorgeous guy?
I looked up at him when he didn't answer me. His auburn orbs locked with my blue ones. I felt my heart skip a beat and butterflies instantly appeared in my stomach.
"Kai" I whispered, I don't know what I was trying to say, it just came out. He was getting closer and closer, or maybe I was moving toward him. I couldn't tell.
"Yea?" he said, his face inches from mine. I didn't have time to answer, his lips were on mine. I was so shocked; it took me a second to realize what was happening. After that second though, I returned the kiss eagerly. His arms snaked around my waist, pulling me closer to him and I wrapped my arms around his neck and melted into his embrace.
We pulled apart for air. My arms slowly unwound themselves from his neck and my waist felt cold where his arms used to be. Our eyes stayed locked together, shock and amazement mixed with auburn stared at me and I was pretty sure my eyes reflected the same thing.
Did he just kiss me? Ok, stupid question. Was this a dream? It sure seemed like one. I was just kissed by Kai Hiwatari and the only thing I could do was stare. I was too surprised to do much of anything else.
"Kai man, what are you doing?" a voice snapped us out of our trance. I looked up to see Tala staring curiously down at us.
Kai shrugged. I wanted to ask him the same question. HE kissed ME right? Why was I so confused, this was what I wanted. I wanted him to care, I wanted him for me. I watched as he stood up, glanced at me and then headed off with Tala.
I suddenly felt alone and empty. I watched his retreating figure. Did he care? I wasn't so sure anymore. When he kissed me I felt like I mattered to him, that he needed me. But did he? Was he just using me? I could only watch him disappear into the distance, abandoning me. And more then anything I wanted him to come back, I needed to him to tell me.
Kai's POV
Tala was giving me odd looks as we rejoined the girls. Kate started yelling at me for leaving. I tuned her out.
What happened? I kissed her, why did I do that? Why would I do that?
Ugh, and why can't I answer these godamn questions?
"Kai? Are you ok?" Tala snapped me out of my thoughts, "You look so lost"
I blinked. Another question I didn't have the answer to.
"Yea, fine" I said, but as much as I didn't want her there, I couldn't get her out of my head. The expression she wore when I left her alone haunted my mind.
"Come on, we have to get back. The tour is almost over" Tala said and I followed behind him.
Mr. Dickenson never knew we left, or he just didn't want to say anything to us. I don't know, I don't care either.
When I scanned the group I noticed she hadn't returned yet. Guilt flooded through me. I shook my head. I had no reason to be guilty, what the hell was wrong with me? Her face drifted into my mind. God, get the hell out of my head...now I'm yelling at images in my head. Fantastic.
"Des! There you are" I heard Cassidy's loud whisper. I saw her approaching, but she didn't look at me. Her eyes focused on the ground and never looked up. She was avoiding me, it was so evident.
And I knew, I had to do something. The only thing was, I had no idea what.
Destiny's POV
The rest of the day was a blur. I hardly remember anything Joanne told me, walking around with my friends, eating lunch. Like I said, it was a blur.
I was sitting by myself on the bus in the back seat. I had refused to sit with anyone, I didn't want to talk. They kept asking what was wrong with me. There was nothing wrong with me. I was just confused, and the more I tried to answer my questions, the more questions I had. And still, no answers. That was the most annoying thing, the lack of answers.
Kai was sitting alone as well. He'd told Kate to get lost when she sat next to him. Usually, that would make me happy, but instead it made me even more confused. He'd been acting strange too.
I sat silently the whole way back to the hotel and walked up to my room just as wordlessly.
I was sitting on my bed when Cassidy walked in. She sat quietly next to me.
"What happened Des?" she asked me, after a minute of silence. She's way to smart for her own good. How can she always read me like a book?
I shook my head, "nothing"
She sighed; I knew she didn't believe me.
"Come on, we're best friends, you can tell me" she pleaded, and I felt her begging eyes piercing into me... I give in way too easily.
"Well" I began. I didn't really know what to say. If I said 'Um, yea, Kai kissed me today' she'd get all happy for me. Would she understand? If I put it that way it sounded like a good thing, well it was a good thing, but it's not anymore, but it is. How can I explain it to her if I can't even explain it to myself?
"He kissed me," I said plainly. Not exactly what I wanted to say.
She blinked, "uh, ok, who?"
"Kai" I whispered averting my eyes to the floor again.
She gasped, "Oh my god! That's great!" she giggled. Wow, I'm totally psychic.
"No. It's not great" I exclaimed in exasperation. She quieted quickly.
"It's not?" She asked me, her eyes narrowing in confusion.
"No" I whispered feebly.
"Why not? Is he a horrible kisser or something?"
"Oh god no" he was a great kisser, but that was beside the point, "he, well he"...I began and she nodded for me to continue.
"He kissed me and then left without a word." I told her sadly.
"What?" she said dumbfounded.
I nodded, "He stared at me for a bit, and then just left with Tala. I don't get it Cass, don't you think he should have said something?"
She glared at the door, "Well I think I'm going to have a talk with him"
"No don't," I begged quietly, "That's the last thing I need"
"But I...alright" she huffed, lying back down on the bed.
"Thanks, anyway we have to go down for dinner," I said, and linking arms, we headed downstairs.
---------
He was there, sitting with them. I hated them, but I couldn't hate him. I could try all I wanted, but there was no way I could hate him. And that thought was very unsettling.
"Destiny, we don't have to eat. I know you don't want to sit with them," Cassidy said softly.
I shook my head no. They were just people. Unkind, bitchy, lying, and cruel people, but just people nonetheless.
I marched confidently over to the table and sat down ignoring their cold stares. Cassidy sat down a few seconds after.
The meal was uncomfortably silent until Rose decided to speak up.
"Like, why is no one talking?" she asked dumbly. Wise words.
"I dunno, but it's weird, talk people" Kate ordered, she scowled when no one answered.
"Ok, then, uh, Kai how was your day?" she asked sweetly, wrapping her arms around his arm. I sent her a glare without thinking. Jealousy wove its way into me and I desperately wanted her to let go. Great, getting jealous over a guy that's not actually mine. That's always good.
"Different" he answered, roughly pulling his arm from hers to my delight.
His answer interested me because he stared at me when he said it. I looked away quickly. It was extremely awkward.
That night before I went to bed I looked back at the week. This vacation definitely wasn't going the way I though would. The only thing was, was that a good thing or a bad?
-----------
The art museum was amazing. There were so many different pictures and sculptures and statues. My eyes danced from one picture to the next, soaking in the beauty of art.
Ok, maybe I'm a bit obsessive, but hey, I like art. I've thought about becoming an artist when I'm older. But I think I'd rather be an interior designer. I've always had an interest in decorating homes.
Anyway, Cassidy and Mark weren't nearly as into it as me. They dragged their feet along the floor and sighed dramatically every five minutes.
"What is your problem" I finally exploded, whirling around to glare at them.
"Oh come on Destiny, all the pictures look the same, looking at pictures is only fun for like half an hour" Mark whined.
"They're not the same, you just don't look at them enough" I retorted, defending the canvas designs.
Cassidy rolled her eyes; "I think you just look at them too much. Come on take a break.... please?"
I reluctantly agreed, we'd been at it for three hours. I suppose it wasn't getting anymore interesting.
"Ok, let's go for...oh no" Cassidy exclaimed. Great, Kai and Tala. At least the slut duo weren't present.
"Well, hello canaslut!" Tala greeted, I hadn't heard that name for a while.
"Hi" I grumbled, he smirked at me.
"Aw, not happy to see me?" He pouted and I rolled my eyes. He could be sooo annoying. Cassidy gave me an odd stare and then grabbed the bag Tala was holding and shot down the hall, Mark at her heels. Ok, that was sudden, not to mention weird.
"What the?" Tala quickly hurried after them, leaving Kai and me alone. I would have to kill Cassidy later; she totally did that on purpose. I just wonder why Mark followed her so quickly.
"So...." I said awkwardly. I hadn't really spoken to him since yesterday at the bush.
"hn" he replied. Well, he wasn't going to be the first one to say something.
I took a breath, "Kai what happened yesterday?"
He sighed as if he were expecting me to say that. Than again, he probably was.
"What do you mean?" he said. Trying to play stupid, isn't he mature.
I rolled my eyes, "Kai, why did you kiss me?"
A long pause. I could tell he was fumbling with what to say. It looked like I wasn't the only one who was confused.
"I don't know" he answered finally, his voice held uncertainty. I sighed, I knew he didn't really care. I tried to deny it, but I knew it was true. He was totally different form me, lifestyle, friends, everything. I guess there wasn't really much left to say.
"You know, I'm sorry I asked. It was just a spur of the moment thing right? So let's just forget the whole thing and leave it at that" I said, turning on my heel and briskly walking away.
I was stopped though, as he reached out and grabbed my wrist. I slowly turned to face him. I would never have guessed in a million years he would have stopped me. Did he have something to tell me? I hoped so. I wanted to be proven wrong.
Our eyes locked again and we could only stare for what seemed like hours. His bangs feel into his eyes and instinctively I reached out and brushed them away.
Kai's POV
I felt her fingertips gently brush my hair out of my eyes. Her fingers lingered above my temple for a few seconds before she dropped her hand to her side.
"Yes Kai?" she whispered, and I knew she was wondering why I held her back. I was wondering the same thing myself. When she left I knew I had to make her stay. I just didn't know why. And that bothered the hell out of me.
I started to lean down toward her and I captured her lips with mine. Before I knew it I'd pulled her against me and her arms once again encircled my neck.
Her lips were soft and tasted sweet. I ran my tongue along her bottom lip and her lips parted in surprise. I took the opportunity and explored her mouth with my tongue, tasting her. She pulled away slowly, breathing heavily.
"Wow" she said, her stunning blue eyes stared mistily up at me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I'd never seen anyone's eyes look like that.
"KAI" I closed my eyes and sighed. Great, I though I'd lost her.
"Destiny get your hands off my Kai this instant" she shrieked charging at us. She shoved the blonde girl away and glared daggers at her. I could have sworn there was steam coming out of her ears.
"I, uh..." she stammered, her cheeks were glowing a soft pink. I suddenly had the urge to kiss her again. An urge I quickly shoved away.
"WELL???" Kate shrieked, "What do you think you were doing. If you ever touch him again I swear I'll get you. I'll get you good," she threatened, and I knew she was probably telling the truth. She may be an airhead, but with her father's money she can pay to carry out a threat.
"I'm not yours," I told her firmly.
"You are so" she argued, "And why the hell were you touching that, that... thing?"
"Her name's Destiny" I stated plainly and I earned a grateful smile from the petite blonde. Kate however, was seething.
"GET OUT" Kate exploded, "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU NEAR HIM AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME??"
"I hear you loud and clear, but you know, did it ever occur to you that he'll never be yours?" Destiny said calmly.
"He will be" Kate said through clenched teeth. I wonder if they realise I'm still here?
"Open your eyes bitch, I don't think you can buy him"
"Wanna bet?"
Destiny laughed bitterly, "No, I don't make bets, but I can guarantee he'll never actually care about you. Oh, and he has more money than you."
And she turned on her heel and fled down the hall. What a conversation. It's great being talked about when you standing right there.
"Kai is she right?" Kate asked me through hope filled eyes. Fake hope filled eyes.
I stared coldly down at her, "She always will be"
Destiny's POV
Ok, great. He kissed me again. That has to mean something. It has to, doesn't it? Man, he is so confusing. And Kate, oh god, if only she hadn't shown up. Maybe I could have gotten some answers from him. I hate her so much.
When I finally found Cassidy she was standing on a table clutching Tala's bag to her chest.
"Give it back," he demanded.
"No" she shot back, taking a small step backwards. If she took one more step, she was going to fall.
"Cassidy" he whined childishly, she sent him a 'your so weird' look. I almost laughed. Almost.
"Make me" she stuck her tongue out and he reached up to try and grab at the bag. She took another step.
"Ahhhh" she screamed as she toppled off the table. Right into Tala's arms. This time I laughed. I had to admit, he could move pretty fast. Although I'm surprised he didn't let her fall.
Setting her down, he snatched the bag and before leaving sent her a triumphant smile.
She glared in return.
"Where's Mark?" I asked just realizing he wasn't there.
"Oh, he went to get something to eat" she said plainly.
I nodded, "Let's find him"
We started toward the museum café.
"So...how'd it go with Kai?" Cassidy asked, trying to keep a straight face.
I glared at her, "What did you do that for?"
"All in good fun" she smiled innocently. I stared suspiciously at her.
"Sure it was, you knew Tala would come after you" I acussed.
She giggled, "Yea, I did. So what happened? Did you talk?"
I hesitated. Sure we talked, and I thought it was over. But then he kisses me and so now I'm at the same position I was before.
"I told him to forget it, he had no idea what happened either and then I left" I lied. It wasn't really a lie though, was it? I did leave, he just stopped me, so then I didn't leave, but I was going to. Ugh, I'm going to go crazy from confusing myself.
"And that's all?" she asked disappointedly. Crap, I just had to tell her.
"No" I sighed.
Her eyes lit up excitedly, "Really? What else???"
"He kissed me again" I said dully.
"Isn't that good?"
"Well yea, but I still don't get him," I said hopelessly.
She sent me an understanding smile, "Do you like him?"
I nodded quickly. Of course I liked him, if I didn't then I wouldn't be so worked up in this mess.
"Well then there you go," she said. What was that supposed to mean?
"Come again"
"If you like him, then get him" she rolled her eyes.
I stared dumbly at her, "yea ok, how? I don't even know if he likes me"
"Than find out"
I groaned, "Yea, hi Kai, do you like me?"
She giggled, "If you want, but I'm sure there's another way for you to do it"
"Yea, like?"
She smiled again, "You'll figure something out, I'm sure of it"
I'd figure something out. I sure hoped so. If I didn't soon, I was definitely going to kill someone. Now all I needed was an idea. A way to ask him, without actually asking him.
I smiled as something crossed my mind. I had the perfect plan.
WOAH, cliffie? I think so! Ahahaha, I'm so evil. I luv being evil, it's so....evilish! hmm, you know evilish isn't a real word, according to my computer anyways. Meh, what does it know!!
Yea, I'm thinking Kai may be a little OOC in this chappie. But I think that's ok right, 'cause he's not like completely cold and quiet, you know? He has to have a soft side, ok? Yea, anyway....
Ahaha, Read and Review please. Even if the chappie was kind of lame. I think I sort of repeated the first half into the second. Hmm, whatever, I can plagiarize my own work can't I? Hmmm....
Anyway, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW
....please
see, I'm asking nicely, so do it.
Ok?
Pretty please with a cherry on top???
THANKIES!!!!!
