Meeting You

Chapter 15: The Scarf

By: Nami

Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews sorry it took so long.

-

"Boris." Tala hissed. "What?" Ian asked. "Where is Boris?" Tala demanded. "Inside with Master Voltaire. I seriously doubt you would want to go in there." Ian said.

"I do." Tala snapped impatiently. "Fine, do as you please but don't beat me up about it when you're through." Ian said moving aside.

Tala glared at him in annoyance but went ahead and rammed the door. "Who is it?!" he heard the very irritated voice of the purple headed demon himself. (Boris)

"I have some very important information that I am positive you must hear." Tala snapped.

"What is it, boy?" Boris hissed sticking his head (-cough- a bloody bastard of a head -cough-) out of the door.

"They have redone the battle arrangement." Tala said. "Those bloody fools, never know when they have things right! What is the face off arrangement?!" Boris growled.

"Well, sir. They have redone it so that the, ahem Bladebreakers, would face the Elite Jewels." Tala said sharply, he was snickering mentally thinking of how Boris was a bloody fool himself. (hear hear!)

"Alright. Make sure anything doesn't go wrong I'm counting on you, boy. We must receive Kai and that…girl whatever her name was. Good thing we have one of the Jewels' members on our side. He should be looking foreword to this, he hasn't had a decent girl lately." Boris said.

"I hear that Nami…" Tala started.

"Who in the name of hell is Nami?" Boris snapped.

"The girl, sir."

"Yes continue."

"She seems to have a connection to him."

"So?" Boris drawled in complete annoyance.

"Maybe the connection could make her act up in the battle." Tala said thinking of how possibly stupid Boris could get.

"So?"

"Well she could be ready for the tests. We don't need the Majestics we can easily wipe the floor with their hides." Tala said.

"Good point. Make sure it happens." Boris said.

"I'll get the equipment ready." Tala said.

"Good boy. I might consider doing you a favor in the near future. Remind me sometime." Boris said with a twisted smile.

"I'll keep it in mind, sir." Tala said a bit disgusted of what that 'favor' might be.

Boris slammed the door in Tala's face. The red headed teen turned and walked to the end of the hallway.

"I have to see Kai."

-

"Kai?" Nami whispered against his shoulder. The Bladebreakers were so surprised at the recent events they stared at Kai.

He had never done anything like this to anyone.

Nami was so surprised at his motions she had stopped crying. The tears were gone before she could blink.

Hilary hissed for everyone to get out. The other boys and Hilary left Nami and Kai alone.

The door slammed shut.

"Kai?" Nami asked. Kai let go of her and looked away trying to fight the light blush from coming in.

"Kai?" Nami repeated.

"What?!" Kai snapped.

"Good, you're back to your normal sourpuss of a self. I was getting worried. What was with that anyway…" Nami started before Kai placed a hand over her mouth to shut her up.

"Nothing happened." Kai said sharply.

"Oh I think something did. If I'm not mistaken then why were there five eyewitnesses?" Nami asked smirking.

"Shit." Kai muttered.

"Point proven." Nami said in the most annoying cheerfulish way she could muster.

"Shut up." Kai said.

"It's a free country. I'm pretty sure Russia was a free country since June 12th, 1990 if I am correct of course." Nami said with a grin.

"I don't care when this god forsaken land was declared free! All I care about is getting out of this inferno before anything gets worse." Kai snapped. (I cracked up when I wrote this.)

"Good point." Nami said finally returning to a serious tone.

"I've heard the battle plan has been redone. We are going up against the Elite Jewels." Kai said.

Nami cringed. "Calm down, Nami. Are you sure you are up to this?" Kai asked as he started to walk around her.

"Sure. I have a little catching up to do with my dear little boyfriend." Nami said regaining composure.

Kai kept pacing around her his head low, trying to come up with some type of plan.

"And you're telling me to calm down. Sheesh. Cut it out before you dig a moat around me." Nami snapped.

"Look, Boris is willing to get us at any cost." Kai said, "And we need to find away to keep them from finding any information about you."

"So you're telling me to back out of the match."

"Affirmative."

"Are you kidding?!" Nami said.

"Yes I am kidding ha ha. See it's funny." Kai said sarcastically.

"Yes it is." Nami said with a smirk.

"And your friends thought you were serious." Kai said quirking an eyebrow.

"Kai, I am not going to back out now. I promise the battle with be over faster then you can say the Greek alphabet backwards." Nami said.

"Which will take almost a decade because I don't know Greek." Kai said.

Nami growled, "Just trust me on this okay?!"

"Fine if you get caught I'll not be responsible."

"I wasn't depending on you." Nami snapped as she turned to leave.

Kai caught her wrist for the second time that day.

"What is it now?!" Nami snapped.

Kai pulled her closer so that his chin rested on her shoulder, her back to him.

"I trust you." he whispered in her ear.

Nami felt shivers run down her spine. She shook it away.

"Fine whatever." she snapped pulling her hand away and slamming the door shut leaving Kai smirking behind her.

-

"Damn it Kai where are you?" Tala thought.

The red head didn't notice someone walking toward him until he ran in to the person.

"Watch where you're going…" he started before he was cut off by Nami on the ground rubbing her head. Her cheeks were rather red (cough Kai cough).

"Hello, beautiful." Tala said with a smirk lowering his intense turquoise eyes drop to her level.

"Whatever, Red." Nami muttered standing up and brushing her self off.

"What were you doing?" Tala asked in a mocking tone, "Hanging out with your little boyfriend?"

"He's not my boyfriend!" Nami snapped.

"But you like the idea." Tala said still smirking. "I do not! You are the most insolent bastard I've ever met!" Nami snapped.

"Thank you, I adore your appreciation." Tala said while mock bowing.

"You JERK!" Nami hissed. "Alright dear. Tell me where your little boyfriend is." Tala said stand up straight.

"Why so you can have another little chit chat?" Nami demanded.

"I like you, you're different from other girls." Tala said.

"How dare…" Nami started.

"You're intelligent, comparing to those girls you aren't worried about how you look which is stupid if you ask me." Tala said.

"??" Nami looked confused.

"Of course you can't reach my rank." Tala said flicking a speck of dust of his suit.

Nami had it she reached up and slapped him.

"You can find him yourself!" she hissed menacingly before stalking off.

Tala rubbed his cheek but still smirked. "She can hit hard." he muttered before he came face to face with Kai who was smirking himself.

He was casually leaning on the wall.

"Okay so you have really good taste." Tala said.

"I don't like her." Kai said stiffly.

"You do, your eyes give it away." Tala said.

"Whatever." Kai said.

"You have to admit she packs a punch."

"Shut up and get on with the info."

"I need to get a new job." Tala moaned.

"Stop saying it and do it for a change." Kai said with a smirk.

"Shut up." Tala snapped.

"Point proven." Kai said mimicking Nami's quote.

"Like I said, shut up. Okay, you know the battle news?"

"Yeah." Kai said.

"Well Boris wants information on her now. I'll have to set up the equipment and I can't afford to make an 'accidental' mistake, I'm already on Voltaire's bad side." Tala said.

Kai growled at Voltaire's name.

"Did you talk to her? What did she say?" Tala asked.

"She won't back out now. She told me it'll be over before I can say the Greek alphabet backwards." Kai said causing Tala to go in to a roll of snickers.

"Funny kid." Tala said with a grin.

"Don't do that. You're starting to scare me. I've never seen you laugh this much." Kai said with a small smile.

"I know. The kid rubs off on you." Tala said.

"She's not a kid." Kai said.

"Alright. I better be going before Boris is after my blood." Tala said turning.

"Tala…" Kai said.

"Hm?"

"Take care of yourself." Kai said. "Will do." Tala said.

-

Nami walked in to the empty stadium and sighed. Only a few more hours before the match.

She turned sharply. Something was in the shadows. "Who's there?" she snapped.

"You always did have sharp hearing, sweetheart." a slick voice said causing Nami to shiver.

"Kenji?" Nami croaked. "Correct. So how've you been, sweetheart?" said the boy who had moved in to the light.

He was about Kai's height with jet black hair and bangs which casually slipped in to his eyes giving him a mysterious look and had dark blue eyes almost black.

He was wearing a black t-shirt with badboy written in blood red on the back and a pair of black baggy trousers which had a silver chain clipped from one belt hoop to another.

"None of your business!" Nami snapped. "I was just worried about you, when are you going to cool down and open up to me?" Kenji said with a twisted smile.

"You nearly got away with it once and it won't ever happen again. You come even 1 foot near me I'll tear you in to pieces." Nami growled.

"What are you talking about my dear little Nami?" Kenji said, "Or do you prefer being called by your real name, Atlan…"

"Nami is just fine thanks! You just pretend to be nice so girls fall for you. Then later you can mark them as your own in a bed. It's never going to happen." Nami hissed, her eyes narrowing.

"Quite the contrary, Nami. I doubt you can do anything about it." Kenji said in to her ear. He had been advancing toward her while they were talking.

"Oh I can and I will." Nami growled.

"Well not now." Kenji said huskily in to her neck. He had suddenly pinned her to the wall and held her wrists to the wall.

"STOP! LET GO!" Nami yelled. Kenji started to kiss her jaw line and then Nami felt unwanted lips on her own soft ones. The kiss was hard and cold.

She felt tears prick the corner of her eyes but she bit him right there. Kenji gave a low hiss before continuing his assault. He leaned down and began to suck on her neck.

Nami couldn't take it anymore. She shoved him off and ran. Kenji landed on the floor although smiling triumphantly.

-

Kai was worried. Nami had been gone too long. Suddenly the door was thrown open and the lavender haired girl ran in to the bathroom.

"Nami?" Hilary called knocking on the door. No answer.

Nami shoved the threatening tears about to fall away and looked at her neck. A hickey was there already. She cursed.

"How the hell am I going to explain this?!" Nami thought in panic.

She looked at her lips they were a tiny bit larger then normal and the corner was a bit torn thanks to the roughness of the unwanted kiss. She took out some chap stick and applied it so no one could notice.

There was no way to hide the hickey unless…

Nami removed her usual high pony tail. She had never actually let them see her with her hair down like that. Her long lavender hair went jest below her hips. After she arranged it properly she had hidden the hickey.

The door clicked and slid open. Nami walked out acting as if nothing was wrong.

"Nami…your hair…" Hilary marveled. "What? Haven't you ever seen a girl with her hair down?" Nami snapped.

The guys gaped at her. "Not yours." Ray said, "You look pretty with your hair down."

Kai frowned. Sure she looked good but something was wrong. He walked over to her and examined her features.

"Kai is too smart for his own damn good." Nami thought. He reached over and flicker a stray strand away.

"Whatever it is…" Kai thought, "I don't see…wait what is that?"

"Kai? What are you doing?" Nami asked nervously.

"Can I talk to you?" Kai asked. "Yeah, why?" Nami asked. "Just come with me." Kai said.

Nami followed cautiously behind Kai. Everyone stared. Kai shut the door to the extra room behind him.

"Are you sure you are up to this?" Kai asked.

"Positive." Nami said a bit too quickly.

Kai's eves darkened as he searched her face. "What are you hiding?" he hissed.

"Nothing? Why would I hide something?" Nami asked. Kai walked around her examining her.

"Alright…wait…move your hair." he said. Nami's heart sunk. She froze.

"If you won't do it I will." Kai said sharply. "Don't touch me." Nami hissed moving back. Kai already had her cornered.

"Kai I'm feeling claustrophobic." Nami said nervously. Kai gently reached over and pushed her hair away from her neck.

"What is that?!" Kai exclaimed. "It's nothing…" Nami said pulling her hair over it.

"It's not a nothing it's a something." Kai said shoving her hair away, "Tell me!"

"I said I was feeling claustrophobic." Nami moaned. "It's a hickey. Who gave it to you?!" Kai demanded. "No one Kai, it was just an accident." Nami said. "Hickeys just don't appear by accident!" Kai said.

"Well this one did." Nami said softly. Kai tilted her head upwards with his fingers. "Look at me…" he said. Nami turned her head away.

"Who did it?" Kai said gently, "Nami?" "I said I was feeling…claustro…" Nami started.

"It was Kenji wasn't it?" Kai said. Nami looked down and nodded as tears pricked it her eyes. "When?" Kai asked. "Just awhile back." Nami said.

"When I get my hands on that bastard I'll…" Kai started. "Kai! Nami! Come out we have to go!" Tyson shrieked.

"Look, you'll have to hide it. Do you want to tie up your hair?" Kai asked. Nami nodded.

"It might move if I walk around." she muttered. Kai unwrapped his scarf and held up her hand and placed the soft material in it.

"Kai?" Nami asked in shock, "Why?"

"Just wear it okay?!" Kai snapped. Nami smiled and nodded. Kai opened the door and shut it without another word.

"Kai, your scarf." Ray said in confusion.

"Nami has it. Don't ask." Kai said in irritation.

tbc…
