Chapter 10 : The Aftermath
"Kiya what?" Kai asked sitting beside her. He went to put his arm around her to comfort her but she wrenched away, sending pain through her body. Kai didn't let her get away, he pulled her to him, where she broke down into tears. She was crying so hard her sobs shook her body, stealing her breath ,stopping her from talking. Kai smoothed her hair, willing her to calm down.
"I don't deserve you" she sobbed suddenly "I tried to keep you safe from Gareth…. And you ended up having to save me. I betrayed you, I lied to you and I failed you"
Kai smiled softly and kissed her forehead.
"I failed you I should have known you had a reason for not telling me about Gareth. I should have known that some thing was wrong. I'm sorry but you didn't fail me, you love me, that's enough. You were tied to the bed Kiya, you couldn't have stopped me from getting hurt. I would risk every thing for you. Because I love you. I want to protect you. You lied to me because you were afraid and you wanted to protect me." Kai whispered his answer soothingly into Kiya's ear.
"I love you too Kai" She answered still sobbing into his shoulder. He pulled her closer and kissed her very softly to avoid hurting her split lip.
"Kiya, I want you because I love you. I want to be with you… Go back out with me… come home with me…Let me look after you" Kai asked in a whisper. Kiya nodded and Kai realized that was the closest thing to a yes he was going to get. "lets go home…"
Kiya wriggled off his lap and got to her feet. He took her keys from her.
"I'm driving" He said, Kiya opened her mouth to say some thing but closed it again and submitted to it. Kiya got into the passenger seat and Kai into the driver seat. He started the engine and put the car into gear and then put his hand on Kiya's hands squeezing them affectionately. They drove to Kai's house. Kiya fell asleep her head on his shoulder as he drove. He parked her car in her garage and carried her over to his house where every one was waiting with worried expressions. Kai held a finger to his lips to stop them saying any thing. Rei kept every one quiet as they all went to Kai's room and watched as Kai laid Kiya on the his bed. He left the room closing the door.
"How is she?" Rei asked looking worried.
"She's ok… she could be better, she'll get over it though" Kai answered. "It's late. There will be no training tomorrow, but you should still get some sleep."
The team obeyed by Tazzy remained. Kai remembered Tazzy's promise all to well.
Flash back from Kai's point of view
"Bastard! You don't know any thing!" Tara shouted her face contorted with fear and anger. My cheek burned in an angry pain but nothing like the emotions in her eyes. I actually was surprised. Rei looked Scared so did max. Tazzy stormed out of the room. "Kai!" Tazzy screamed as She left "if she's hurt I'll hurt you"
End of flashback
Kai waited for Tara to move her face set in an un-characteristic scowl. She stood in front of Kai and set her hand on his shoulder as if to comfort him, She gave a ghost of a smirk, brought her hand right back to slap him. Kai let her, her hand stopped millimetres away from his cheek and she tapped it gently and then pulled him into a tight embrace.
"thank you… for saving my best friend…" Came Tazzy's whispered words.
"Tazzy… Find and empty room and stay here the night… Just in case Kiya wants you" Kai said. Tazzy nodded and left.
Kai's point of view
I turned and went back in my room, Kiya was half awake. I sat on the edge of my bed pushing her hair out of her eyes. She forced a small smile.
"Go have a shower or a bath, it'll make you feel better and I'll get you a pair of my Pyjama's to sleep in. Kiya nodded and tenderly got up. I kissed her forehead and watched her disappear in my bath room. I went to the room Kiya's room. I wondered whether I should go over to her house and get her clothes but found she had plenty of clean clothes just no night wear. No problem she can wear mine. I returned with fresh under wear and clothes for the morning. I thanked god that Kiya was smart enough to keep some clothes over here and that she washed them. I changed in my night wear and pulled out a dark pair of pyjamas for Kiya to wear. She came out wrapped in a towel looking venerable with her collection of cuts and bruises. I hugged her and kissed her. She responded for the first time. I smiled and held her close savouring her taste and her smell mixed in with the smell of my shampoo and my Lynx Phoenix body wash. (A/N: I thought seems as Kai's bit beast is a Phoenix it just felt right that he should use Lynx Phoenix)
"You smell good." I said
"I smell like you that's why" She said with a small chuckle. My heart leapt at the sound and I knew me and Kiya would get through this. I squeezed her a little tighter careful not to hurt her. "Kai? Will you let me go I like need to put some clothes on."
I laughed a little and released her she smiled and went over to the bed picked up the under wear and my pyjama's. She once again returned dressed and with my hair brush in her hand brushing her hair carefully. She quickly plaited her hair and came over to where I lay on my bed. She knelt in front of me.
"Kai…." She began and I knew she was going to start apologising so I captured her lips in a passionate heartfelt kiss and she submitted to it and fell silent.
"we should get some sleep" I suggested, Kiya went to stand to go to her room I caught her wrist gently. "stay with me" I asked, she smiled and climbed into the bed sliding under the covers with me. I flicked of the bed room light and held her close. Smoothing the soft skin of her face as she fell asleep in my arms.
Three weeks later.
Kiya's point of view.
My bruises had faded slowly disappearing. My ribs were still sore but it was getting better. It was 3 o'clock I was alone in the house. Max had gone shopping for some game. Kai and Rei and Tala were having a men's day. Kai was only being dragged along, very reluctantly. Hillary, Tazzy, Mariah, Tyson and Kenny had gone to the movies leaving mw alone for the first time since I had been beaten up. I found the silence of the house rather un-nerving at the beginning, jumping at every creek of a floor board So I had turned the stereo on and turned the music right up. I had spent the last 3 weeks with Kai. Some times we had slept at my house others at his. Life was good. Tazzy now lived with me and my team kicked ass and remained undefeated since I've joined. Though there had only been 4 battled in that period. I began to dance as I began cooking the special meal I had planned because Mr Dickinson was coming to dinner. I sliced tomato's while dancing slowly and seductively. There was no one around to watch…. Or so I thought. I felt hands on my hips and my ass being pulled into some ones lap as we swayed into the rhythm of the music. I knew by the feel and scent of the person who it was. I felt his lips brush the skin of my neck. Kai. I released the knife and turned to face the man I loved with all my heart. I captured his lips in a deep kiss our tongues battling for domination, gliding and caressing and teasing each other. I soon submitted to the kiss, letting his tongue explore my mouth, possessing my mouth completely. I felt myself go weak at the knees as we broke for air and he began kissing my neck at his leisure. I felt a moan escape my lips and I felt Kai smile into my neck.
"Kai…. I'm trying to cook" I half heartedly protested.
"I'll help you then…. If you dance with me" Kai suggested looking down at me. I nodded and walked over to the cd player. I put Hil's love album on and flicked on to a nice song and wrapped my arms around Kai's waist and he put his hands on my hips pulling me closer. I out my head on his head and he put his chin on my head kissing the top of my hair when we danced. It was like dancing on a cloud only us two existed. Some times I wished we could stay like this for ever. The song ended and a reached up to kissed My Russian blader. He slipped his hands on my ass and I let out a surprised squeak and through that he gained access to my mouth, He pushed me against the kitchen counter, forcing himself closer to me. The kiss deepened he slipped his hand up my shirt caressing the skin at the small of my back. A cough caused us to break the kiss. I let my forehead bump on to Kai's shoulder.
"What do you want Max?" I asked. I didn't have to look to know who it was.
"I thought you might need some help but I see you have your hands full so I'll just.." Max began
"Not so fast you can both help." I said getting two aprons out and a chefs hat, which I perched on Max's head on a cute angle.
Same day with Rei and Tala. From Rei's point of view.
Kai bailed on us early into the day leaving me and Tala alone. I was Expecting a call from my lover any minute now. We were at an ice cream parlour and I was currently deciding what flavour to have. The Man behind the counter couldn't have been much older than 19 and he was good looking. Tala gave him the once over I noticed. I had come to the conclusion that Tala was like myself, Bi.
"can I help you?" Asked the man I noted his name was Ted, It said so on his name tag.
"what do you recommend Ted?" I asked.
"I recommend the Strawberry and cream swirl." He said giving me a wide smile. Tala came over and leant on the counter.
"hey baby let me lick you, I'm sure your sweeter than any of these ice creams" he said causing Ted to blush. Tala licked his lips seductively. I laughed at Tala's antics. Me and Tala sat at a table and ate our ice cream. A Phone call from my lover caused me to step outside. I hung up my phone when Tazzy and the gang came around the corner. We went inside I ate what was left of my ice cream while chatting away before we all headed back home. When we arrived Kiya was putting the final touches on desert. Kai was pouring gravy over the meals and Max was setting the dining room table.
"Every one up stair to get showered and changed." Kiya ordered putting the cake under a cover. Max and Kai both put away their equipment and headed upstairs. Tazzy went into one o the spare rooms. Me and Kiya brought up the rear. I went to my room to find my lover laying on my bed. I smiled and pounced on Tazzy and kissed her neck. I felt her nip at my neck that's when I got my brilliant idea. I dragged her into the bath room and turned on the shower. Kissing her passionately I caressed the bare skin of her shoulder. This was going to be one of the best showers I've had in my life. Fours hours to kill can you think of a better way?
The meal from Kiya's point of view.
Now all dressed in some of out best clothes we sat around the table thought Tazzy and Rei had been slightly late. Mr Dickinson was talking about the ride over. Kai's foot was brushing my leg distracting me completely. That's when I realized I was being spoken too.
"Pardon" I said snapping back to the present.
"I said, will your family be visiting you for Christmas?" It was Tala.
"Oh… I was hoping my brother might be" I answered "why?"
"we were just discussing who will be joining us over Christmas." Max answered. "so far it's your brother, the demolition boy's, us lot and my mum."
"Oh cool" Kiya answered.
The meal went on and many discussions broke out. It was only when Max was nearly asleep on the table did Mr Dickinson leave. Rei and Tazzy offered to tidy up. Kai and I agreed to that and headed to my house where we could have some alone time. He lead me to my house kissing me at the door. I let us in pulling him with me and up to my room. He Kissed my neck sending bolts of sensation through my body. He lay me on the bed and well I'll let you fill in the blanks.
