Chapter 15
A Mild Misunderstanding...
Krys: There was another title before this but we decided to change it.
Aia: 'We'?
Krys: Okay, I. I decided to change it.
Aia: Can't blame you, the title was a little...odd, if not random;
Krys: I think I've proven my point.
Kiara: I'm lost again.
A year had passed and Aia and Kiara were now 13 . They sat boredly on their couch in the living room. They were waiting for the second world beyblade championship to start on the tv. Ever since the Bladebreakers won last year the pair of them waited anxiously all year for the next one. Kiara squealed in joy.
"I can't wait to see Kai!" she yelled hugging Aia. Aia sighed and patted her excited friend on the head. Mr. and Mrs. Miori caught their attention. They were dressed as if they were going out. Kovu walked into the room.
"Where are you going?" Kovu asked.
"We're just going out for to go see our friend who lives near here," Mr. Miori said. "We'll see you kids in a while." Mrs. Miori kissed each of them on the cheek and they said their goodbyes. Aia and Kiara directed their attention back to the tv. Kovu sat beside them. The tornament began.
"Is this the…."
"SHHHHHH!" Aia and Kiara placed their finger over their mouths commanding Kovu to be silent. Kovu sighed and watched the beginning of the tornament. Kiara began to yell wildly as soon as Kai appeared. Aia and Kovu held their heads in exasperation.
"IT'S KAI! IT'S KAI!" Kiara yelled. Aia looked outside trying to ignore all the yelling. She realized that it had began to storm. Lighting flashed outside making quite a show.
"Hey guys, it's storming outside," Aia said to Kiara. "Hope Mr. and Mrs. Miori are okay."
"Don't worry, they'll be fine," Kiara said not taking her eyes off of the tv. "Have you ever heard of this new kid named Zeo?"
"No, is he any good?" Aia asked.
"I don't know I haven,t seen him battle yet…."
About two hours later Kiara, Kovu and Aia were in Aia's room. Kiara was talking about how cool Kai was that day. Aia and Kovu were trying to sound like they were interested. The phone ran and Aia answered it.
"Hello?" she said, speaking into the receiver.
"Hello. Is Terumi there?" asked the voice on the other end. It sounded like a woman.
"No, she left two hours ago going to a friend's house," Aia said.
"They left two hours ago?" asked the woman, a little worried. "I'm the person they were supposed to visit. I'm Anamata. Sorry to worry you. They're probably just stuck in the storm. Thank you very much, goodbye" The woman hung up. Aia looked at Kiara trying to hide her worries.
"Who was it?" Kovu asked.
"It was nothing……" Aia said shaking her head. She walked into the living room trying to change her mind. They were probably just stuck in the storm like the woman had said. Nothing to worry about. She turned on the tv. It was a news program. Their top story was about a car crash not far from where Kiara and Aia lived. Aia watched it fearing the worse. Kiara walked up behind Aia just as Aia gasped. Aia sank to the ground not saying a word. Kiara glanced at the tv. There in the middle of the crash was the Miori's car. It was compeletly destroyed.
"A tragic loss took place here today as an old couple were making their way to some friends. Another car was coming towards them when it lost control on the slippery streets and slammed into their car……." The man on the tv began but Aia couldn't watch the rest of it. She shut of the tv and ran to her room, tears streaked her face. Kiara stood open mouthed at the blank tv not wanting to accept the fact that the only real parents she had ever had were gone now.
Aia burst into her room scaring Kovu. He saw the panic and confusion in Aia's eyes.
"What happened?" he asked not realizing that there was worry in his voice. Aia stared up at him. She hugged him tightly.
"Mr and Mrs Miori….they're, they're……."
Kovu understood what happened. He placed a hand on Aia's head, comforting her as she cried onto his chest.
Krys was at Robert's house for a sleepover. The Majestics had just come back from a tornament and had invited Krys to spend the night with them so they could celebrate their return.
"Hey! Look at what I found!" Enrique said holding up a bottle of wine. Krys slapped her forehead.
"Where did you get that?" she asked suspiciously.
"I found it downstairs in the wine cellar," Enrique said smiling, as if it everything was perfectly fine.
"This isn't your house," Oliver said bluntly to the blond.
"So?"
"You better hide that, Robert is coming back," Oliver suggested. Enrique shoved the bottle of wine into the nearest bag which happened to be Krys's. She waved a fist at him just as Robert and Jonny came back. Enrique tried to look innocent but failed miserably.
"What did you do now?" asked Jonny.
"What makes you think I did something?" Enrique asked.
"Cause you have a guilty look on your face. What did you do this time? Break something?" Jonny asked.
"I swear I didn't do anything!" Enrique yelled. Robert glared at him.
"Anyways we're heading up to bed……you can stay here if you want but I'm putting Krys in charge," Robert said leaving with Jonny behind him.
"I'm putting Krys in charge," Enrique mimicked mockingly. "I bet they're gay." Krys and Oliver burst out laughing. Enrique took the wine bottle out of Krys's bag.
"Anyone want some?" he asked holding up the bottle.
"No way I have church tomorrow," Krys said once she stopped laughing.
"Me neither. Why do you want a hangover?" Oliver asked.
"I'm not going to drink that much," Enrique said pouring himself a glass of red wine.
"Right and I'm the queen of England," Krys said, her words heavy with sarcasm.
"You're not?" Enrique smiled at her and downed the glass of wine.
"I can get you in trouble like this you know," she said snapping her fingers.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me," Krys cupped her hands around her mouth and took a deep breath.
"NO! NO! NO! NO!" Enrique waved his arms in front of Krys's face. She smiled at him and dropped her hands.
"Don't worry I won't," she said. Enrique sighed in relief.
"You know, you're not the goody two shoes I thought you were," Enrique said smiling. Krys narrowed her eyes and glared at him.
"Goody two shoes? JONNY, ROBERT!" Robert ran into the room, on cue.
"What?" He looked around the room and saw Enrique with the bottle of wine. He glared at the blond. Enrique gulped. Robert snatched the bottle from Enrique hands and marched out of the room.
"Thanks a lot…"
"You're welcome," Krys smiled smugly. Enrique grummbled and walked to where the tv was. Oliver walked up to Krys.
"That was unexpected, but still hilarious," he commented.
"Well, that's what happens when you mess with me," Krys smiled. Oliver smiled back. (Krys: Damnit, why did Aia use the word smile so many times?)
"You know, I really missed you during the tornament," Oliver told Krys leaning towards her.
"I did too," Krys wrapped her arms around Oliver. Oliver kissed her softly. He heard Enrique blow a raspberry in the background.
"I missed you during the tornament," he said mockingly. "CORNY!" Krys got up slowly and glared at him angrily. Enrique was very fearful for he had never seen that kind of look in Krys's eyes. Oliver tugged on her sleeve. Krys sighed loudly and dropped to the ground.
"He's so annoying. Can I at least strangle him?" she pleaded.
"No……." Enrique laughed in the background but Krys flashed a deadly looking glare. Enrique shut up immediately. If looks could kill, Enrique would most likely be dead. Oliver sighed. Krys tuned her attention back on Oliver.
"Now where were we?" Krys asked pulling Oliver into another kiss.
Krys and the others stayed awake till six in the morning and she had to leave a nine. Three hours of sleep did wonders for Krys. It was nine when Oliver awoke. He checked the clock.
"Uhhhh….Krys," he said sitting down beside her. "Your dad is going to be here soon to pick you up." Krys obviously didn't care or was still sleeping but she rolled over knocking Oliver down. She snuggled him as she slept, reaching for the source of warmth.
"I love you too but you need to wake up, your dad is going to be here soon," Oliver said patting Krys's head. She snuggled even more. Oliver flushed realizing what would happen if her dad saw them like this.
"Enrique, help me," Oliver begged his friend.
"This is your problem," Enrique said laughing. They heard a car pull up into the drive way. Robert walked into the room.
"Hey Krys your dad's…….uhhhhh what's going on?'
"This isn't what you think it is…..can you stall him till I get her awake?" Oliver asked. Robert left the room not believing a word Oliver said. Oliver struggled under Krys's weight but she had him thoroughly pinned down. It was no use. She was fast asleep and would not respond.
"Krys your dad is here!" Oliver shouted.
"Uhhh…he's coming," Enrique said looking out the doorway. Krys's dad walked into the room.
"What in heaven's name happened here?" Mr. Clearwater asked half surprised, half angry.
"This is not what it looks like!" Oliver gasped under Krys.
"MISS KRYS ESTELLE CLEARWATER!"
That got her awake. Her eyes fluttered open at the sound of her full name. It wasn't often that her father used it and when he did, she knew she was in trouble. He even added the 'miss' which was even more rare. Krys looked at Oliver sleepily then at her enraged dad. She was able to put two together. Figuring it out, she paled and braved facing her father.
"Hi father…. It's not what it looks like I swear!" Krys said getting up quickly.
"Young lady!
"I swear! Honest!" she cried, panicked
"Estelle?" Enrique asked. Krys was glad for the distraction.
"Yeah, that's my middle name," she replied.
"You have a middle name? Since when?"
"Uhh, since I was born…"
"That's it Krys, we're leaving," her father said abrutly.
"Uh..oh…um..ehh….okay…" she stuttered, confused. In the time span of less than a minute, Krys was changed and ready. She gave Oliver a quick kiss on the lips, earning her a glare from her father. She shrunk back.
"Get in the limo Krys." She obliged without hesitation. Once they had left Enrique muttered something.
"Estelle?"
"I find it has a nice ring to it," Oliver stated. Enrique stuck out his tongue.
"Who made you the name master?" Oliver punched him in the arm, making sure it hurt.
Krys: Ooooo, long chapter. Although my fingers aren't killing me because Aia and I were alternating between writings.
Aia: Yeah, that was fun. We would switch stories when we ran out of ideas for the one we had. Anyway, please review!
Krys: bursts out laughing
Aia: What's with you?
Krys: "I'm putting Krys in charge, I bet they're gay!" laughs hysterically
Aia: laughs as well
Kiara: Huh?
