Meeting You
Chapter 27: Stained Proposal
Disclamer: I don't own Crush by Mandy Moore and I don't own Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne and I don't own Beyblade (sadly) they belong to their respectful owners but the plot is mine!

Kai was on the floor in barely a few seconds.
"I can't believe this…" he muttered as he ran a hand through his hair.
Nami bent down next to him and reached out and touched his shoulder as she lowered her head enough to look at his face.
"We'll find Dranzer…I promise." she whispered.
Kai looked at her in the eye. The swirling auburn orbs were blistered with loss, hurt, and anger.
"How? We left Dranzer where Boris might be tampering with her RIGHT NOW!" he snarled.
"Kai just for your information, I never make promises I can't keep and trust me, I'll find Dranzer." Nami whispered. Nami suddenly realized how close they were. If she moved any closer she wouldn't be able to keep her defenses up.
His eyes were making her dizzy with desire. Her eyelids slowly lowered over the magnificent silver orbs.
Nami pulled herself back. Disappointment lit up Kai's eyes.
"Sorry…" she muttered before standing up and walking out the door.
"STUPID STUPID STUPID! I'm so stupid…going and tempting my feelings like that…" Nami thought darkly.
Around 5 pm
"Hey Nami!" Hilary said excitedly.
"What?" Nami snapped impatiently.
"Tonight is the dance!" Hilary said.
"So?" Nami asked blankly.
"It's important!" Hilary said.
"Perhaps it's important because you're going to ask Tyson to it, no matter how much you pretend that you don't like Tyson it's not true because you really have a serious and utterly obvious crush on Tyson." Nami said in mock curiosity.
"Uh…I…um…" Hilary spluttered as her face slowly took the resemblance of a cherry.
"Yes then?" Nami said with a smirk.
"How did you know!" she squeaked.
"I'm guessing you don't know what the word 'obvious' means." Nami said as she crossed her arms and looked at Hilary with an amused look.
"Really! Oh my god! Who knows what people will think! My reputation will be down the toilet…" Hilary started.
"Hilary…you never had a reputation." Nami said with a smirk as she struggled not to laugh.
"NAMI! Not in my time of need!" Hilary hissed.
"More like mid-teen crisis." Nami said with a snicker.
"Nami!" Hilary whined.
"Go tell him how you feel!" Nami said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"As if you'd tell Kai how you feel about him!" Hilary snapped.
It was Nami's turn to blush, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh don't you?" Hilary said slyly.
"Hilary…" Nami warned dangerously.
"HAH! I knew it! Nami and Kai sitting in a tree K-I-S…" Hilary was cut off.
"Hilary I'm warning you if you finish that sentence you will not have a throat anymore…or maybe I'll change that threat to TELLING TYSON!" Nami said triumphantly.
"You wouldn't!" Hilary said quietly.
"Oh but I would…and you know it." Nami said as her eyes glinted in triumph.
"Darn it…" Hilary snapped.
Nami snickered before walking towards the main room in the dojo, "Good luck!"
Kai's Pov
I sighed softly…still aware that I hadn't moved from this spot since about 2 hours ago.
"Kai just for your information, I never make promises I can't keep and trust me, I'll find Dranzer."
What is she thinking!
She's just going to get herself hurt again…and all her wounds haven't healed yet…and I'm not talking about cuts and bruises…she's stained and I want to know what scars haven't mended…
Normal Pov
"Hey KAI!" Hilary sang as she walked into the doorway.
"What is it now?" Kai asked in a tired voice as he stood up.
"Tell Nami how great she looks." Hilary said with a grin.
"What are you talking about?" He snapped irritably.
"Nami…Nami?" Hilary
"Hilary, please, don't make me do this!" Nami's voice filled the hall sounding very very annoyed indeed.
"Come in here." Hilary said through gritted teeth.
"I'd like to see you try to make me!" Nami said childishly.
Even though Kai couldn't see her, he was smirking at the way she sounded.
"If you don't come in here…" Hilary started.
"Meh, this is the most pathetic thing I've ever dealt with…" Nami muttered.
"But it will be…" Hilary's sentence was replaced with a look of horror at something Nami had done, of course Kai not being able to see, raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Hold on a second." Hilary said quietly in his direction.
"WILL YOU JUST GET THE FUCK IN HERE!" Hilary hissed.
"Oh good god…" Nami's voice was filled with shock.
Kai could imagine her eyes widening at Hilary's quote.
"Hilary…Miss Goody-Two-Shoes has cursed right in front of my face…" Nami was way too surprised to move.
"I've done it before when you were…not here, ask KAI!" Hilary said as she pushed Nami in.
Nami turned furiously red, as she stood before Kai who stared at her as his jaw dropped.
Nami was wearing a crimped black skirt that went up to her knees and an off the shoulder black top with a white stripe running through the middle and also gave a view of her midriff through black see though material.
She had one black and white striped arm sock that went up to her elbow on her right arm and one black fingerless glove that went up to her wrist. She had a pair of black lace up sandals. A white choker adorned her neck and she had a pair of dangling star earrings. Her long lavender hair was swept up in a messy but stylish bun.
The purple triangles on each cheek were gone and in their place was lightly applied makeup, her cheeks a faint rosy peach, and the top of her eyelids had been outlined in eyeliner and had a light pink eye shadow. She was wearing a pinkish peach lipstick.
Nami was blushing even more deeply now as Kai's eyes took in every detail.
(I know this isn't much to be embarrassed about if you're a teenage girl, but Nami has never worn a skirt since…she was like…7. Plus I'm sorry, I don't wear make up and don't really wear skirts often…so if my description stinks on ice, SORRY!)
Kai quickly snapped his mouth shut as he fought a light blush.
"Well, what do you have to say?" Hilary asked.
"Uh…I…you…look…you look very…" Kai stuttered.
"Come on, we don't have all day." Hilary snapped. Nami glared at her.
"You look beautiful…" Kai said softly.
"You don't think it's too revealing?" Nami asked her blush intensified as she shyly wrapped her arms around herself
"Nope." Kai said with a smirk.
"Of course not, you're a guy! Guys think that girls who have nothing but a thong on, is enough clothing." Nami scowled.
Kai smirked, "Would you ever wear nothing but a thong and prance around public for me?"
Nami gave him the finger and scowled, "Bastard."
"Kai go change into something nice, this is a dance after all! Besides, I still need to get the other boys to wear something formal, now hurry up! We have to be there by six..." Hilary said before disappearing down the hallway.
Kai walked up to Nami and tilted her chin upwards with a finger. Nami saw the arriving smirk on his face.
"You should wear skirts more often…" he whispered seductively into her ear. Nami felt like her cheeks were on fire.
"Oh, and have you go all gaga on me again? I don't think so…" She sneered.
"Oh but I do…" he whispered as his smirk widened as he licked his upper lip.
"Is it my imagination or is Kai getting closer?" Nami thought as she panicked.
Their faces were barely a centimeter apart, Kai's eyes were making her dizzy again so Nami closed her eyes.
"Am I interrupting something?"
Nami and Kai immediately stepped back as if both had been burned.
Nami blushed and turned to face the wall.
"No…" Kai said quietly.
"Are you sure because you two looked kinda cozy to me." Ray said with a smirk.
"There was something on my face." Nami said a little too quickly.
"Uh huh, so Kai decided to get it off with his lips." Ray said as he grinned.
"Uh…we…uh…go get ready you nosy moron!" Nami snapped as she threw her arm sock at him.
Ray grinned as he walked away.
Nami grumbled under her breath that sounded very much like, "So much for being Mr. Sensitivity." She went to go get the arm sock and pulled it back on.
"See you later." She muttered before standing on her tiptoes and pecking his cheek quickly like a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship kinda thing, before walking out the door.
Kai smirked lightly before going to get his clothes for the night.
Hilary dragged Nami out to the front yard of the dojo (in front of the doors) where all the boys were tugging at some part of their attire. (NO Dirty thoughts! Society is crazy these days!)
Nami grinned.
Max was struggling to button his cuffs with one hand, Tyson was trying to ease his pants under his (rather large) stomach, Ray was trying to fix his collar around his tie, and Kai was pulling at his tie nervously.
(Maybe looking for someone's attention? -waggles one eyebrow- LOL -winks-)
Nami's grin evolved into a smirk.
Suddenly Tyson looked up and his nose started to bleed. Hilary blushed when she realized he was staring at her.
Nami had gotten back at Hilary because she got to make Nami wear a skirt.
Hilary was wearing a creamy pink colored dress that had off the shoulder half sleeves that went in waves around her arms, the dress flared out around her legs, she had a pair of white sandals, a silver necklace with a flower pendant, and her hair was straightened and had been pinned back near her ears, she had neat diamond earrings, and a light amount of make-up.
(Like I said I SUCK at dress and formal descriptions!)
A honk from outside caught everyone's attention.
It was a sleek white limo that had come to pick them up. (on Mr. D's behalf of course!)
Hilary was forgotten immediately by Tyson who dashed off with Max towards the expensive vehicle.
"Hmph!" Hilary turned her nose upwards.
"Don't worry, Tyson will always be Tyson, just wait…" Nami said with a smile as she pulled Hilary along.
As soon as they reached the hotel where the dance was being held they knew it would be trouble getting in.
Exactly when they stepped out, they were bombarded with questions.
"Tyson is it true you will give up blading after thenext tournament?"
"Ray will you be joining White Tigers X again?"
"Max you're going back to New York right?"
"Kai is it true you and Nami are dating?"
Nami and Kai glanced uneasily at each other. Before…
Nami calmly walked up to the reporter.
"Where the hell have you been hearing these rumors!" she hissed.
"Well I…" the man stuttered.
"Bugger off!" she snapped before stalking off towards the doors.
The reporters stared before slowly backing away.
Kai looked a bit embarrassed before he regained composure and snarled, "Hurry up!" to the others.
Nami stood in a darker side of the room tugging at the bottom of her skirt and muttering very un-lady-like curses under her breath.
Couples were dancing, staring into each other's eyes. Surprisingly, Mr. Dickenson hired a DJ instead of an orchestra to play at the dance.
"Attention everyone!"
The music was cut off and everyone's attention shifted to Mr. Dickenson who was standing on a stage, microphone in hand.
"First of all I hope you are all enjoying yourselves!" He said cheerfully.
There were a few cries of 'Yeah' and 'This is awesome!' making Mr. Dickenson's smile grow.
"Despite the minor changes that occurred in the past few days, such as the tie between the two teams, I would like to congratulate both world champions, since we couldn't schedule in the last battle, I want to dedicate this celebration to the two teams!" Mr. Dickenson said as everyone started clapping.
"I hope everyone has a wonderful night! Dinner will be served shortly!" Mr. Dickenson said proudly before he stepped off the stage and the music began once again.
"You haven't danced with anyone yet…" a voice said.
Nami's eyes snapped on to the person who spoke.
"Tala?" Nami asked shocked.
"Yep." Tala stood in front of her in all his red haired glory. He was still wearing his orange, blue, and white uniform and looking very amused at her attire.
Nami's cheeks heated up.
"Stop staring, pervert." She said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"You should wear skirts more often." Tala said, smirking.
"Shut up! What do you want any way?" Nami snapped.
"I can see you're back to your spitfire self again." Tala said calmly smiling pleasantly.
Nami looked confused, "What?"
"Never mind, by the way, someone's looking for you." Tala said.
"Who?" Nami asked, as she peered over Tala's broad shoulders.
"Hey, spitfire…" Tala said.
"Hm?"
"Save a dance for me." Tala said before smirking and disappearing in to the crowd of people.
"Jerk." Nami muttered but she smiled nonetheless.
"Hey, cutie."
"Now what?" Nami thought annoyed.
There was a tall black haired boy with emerald green eyes who was staring at her.
"What do you want? And I suggest you don't call me that." Nami snapped impatiently.
"Dance with me?" the boy asked.
"Meh, why not?" Nami said shrugging off the annoying voice in her head that scream 'back away!'.
The boy took her arms and placed them around his own neck
"Who are you?" Nami asked.
"Name's Ryan."
"Okay…"
"You?"
"Nami…"
"Nice, you're that beyblade chick…"
"Call me chick and you're gonna be crying like one."
Ryan smirked his eyes wandering her body.
"Why'd you ask me to dance anyway?"
"You seemed a little lonely…" he whispered seductively.
Nami noticed that his hands were slipping up the back of her shirt.
"Get your hands off…" Nami started to growl as she pulled her hands off his neck.
"Hands off!" a voice snarled.
Ryan was pulled clean off of Nami and shoved in to the wall. Kai looked furious as he stepped in front of Nami protectively.
"Hey, we were dancing!" Ryan snapped.
"You were feeling her up." Kai snarled as he grabbed Ryan by the collar.
"So?" Ryan asked. "You're really asking for it." Kai said darkly. "Oh yeah whatcha gonna do?" Ryan challenged. "Kai…don't." Nami said quietly.
"Ha! You have a girl telling you what to do? That's pathetic!" Ryan sneered. Nami growled she walked up to him and let her fist collide with Ryan's stomach.
"Fuck off!" she growled before shoving him towards the floor.
"Come on." Nami muttered as she grabbed Kai's arm and led him into the crowd of people.
"What're you doing all alone with a guy you don't even know!" Kai snapped.
"I…He…" Nami started.
"You know if I hadn't come in time you'd probably be in his bed by now!" Kai growled.
"Kai…" Nami started.
"I can't believe…" Kai started.
Nami suddenly grabbed Kai's collar.
"Hiwatari, listen to me and you better listen good, I swear to god I have no idea why you're getting all worked up about this but know this, I like you a lot I really do and you better get used to it." Nami snapped.
Nami let go and covered her mouth as a blush crept on to her cheeks.
Kai looked shocked.
"Hey everybody! Requests for songs will be taken now!" The DJ announced.
"I have to go to the…bathroom." Nami muttered before disappearing.
Kai smirked dazedly.
"Ahh…young love." a voice mocked.
"Shut up, Tala." Kai snapped.
"Okay people! This song is dedicated to a very special young man, Micheal Chesner from his girlfriend Mandy!" The DJ yelled.
Kai snorted.
Tala grinned.
Crush by Mandy Moore started to play.
Nami's face was flushed red.
"I can't believe I said that!" she thought.
"Any more requests!" The DJ announced as soon as another few songs were played.
Nami immediately had an idea. She went up to the DJ and whispered to him.
"Alright everyone, this song goes out to Kai, from a friend!" the DJ announced.
(-I'm tugging at my hair…
I'm pulling at my clothes…
I'm trying to keep my cool…
I kn-ow it shows…
I'm staring at my feet…
My cheeks are turning red…
I'm searching for the words inside my he-ad…
'Coz I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect…
'Coz I know you're worth it...
you're worth it...yeah…-)
Tala smirked.
(-If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you…aw-ay
Be with you every night…
Am I squeezing you too tig-ht?
If I could say what I want to see,
I want to see you go down on one knee...
say 'Marry me today!'
Guess I'm wishing my life aw-ay...
With these things I'll never say…-)
Kai stared blankly.
(-It don't do me any good…
It's just a waste of time…
What use is it to you, what's on my mi-nd?
If it ain't comin' out…
We're not goin' anywhere…
So why can't I just tell you that I ca-re?
'Coz I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect…
'Coz I know you're worth it...
you're worth it...yeah…-)
"Who do you suppose it is?" Tala asked with a grin.
(-If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you…aw-ay
Be with you every night…
Am I squeezing you too tig-ht?
If I could say what I want to see,
I want to see you go down on one knee...
say 'Marry me today!'
Guess I'm wishing my life aw-ay...
With these things I'll never say…-)
"Dunno…" Kai said slowly.
(-What is wrong?
With my tongue?
These words keep slippin' away...
I stutter...I stumble…
Like I've got nothin' to sa-ay...
'Coz I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect…
'Coz I know you're worth it...
you're worth it...yeah…-)
"Man you're thick." Tala muttered.
(-Da da da da da da da da da...
Da da da da da da da da da...-)
"Shut up!"
(-Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say…-)
"I swear, any slower and you'll be going backwards!" Tala taunted.
(-If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you…aw-ay
Be with you every night…
Am I squeezing you too tig-ht?
If I could say what I want to see,
I want to see you go down on one knee...
say 'Marry me today!'
Guess I'm wishing my life aw-ay...-)
"Tala? Tell me…" Kai growled.
(-With these things I'll never say…
With these things I'll never sa-ay…-)
The song ended.
"Tala?"
"Kai?"
"Tell me…"
"Nope…"
"Yes…"
"Nope…"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Tala!"
"Kai!"
"Who dedicated it!" Kai snarled.
"Take a wild guess…" Tala said as he looked over at a lavender haired girl who was busy taking to Hilary.
Kai glared at Tala who was smiling. Before he could walk over he saw someone get in the way.
Nami's POV
Great Tala and his BIG mouth, I now know why he has that HUGE collar.
Hilary was talking NON STOP for the past ten minutes, you'd think she'd choke on her own words soon enough… (Insert sweat drop here, XD XD)
Ever since she heard the 'request' she cornered me, ugh, now I KNOW why Tyson tries to avoid her…even though he likes her…
Kai must've figured it out by now…Smart ass…
Suddenly Kai was blocked from my vision by a shadow and someone glaring down at me.
"Bryan?" I asked coldly.
"Look, I don't want you to get hurt…but it's important that Voltaire speaks to you, he's waiting outside…" Bryan said quietly.
He actually looks…worried?
I wonder…
"Alright." I whispered.
Hilary looked DEAD scared. I shot her a 'don't worry' glance.
Bryan nodded and gestured for me to follow him.
Normal POV
Kai watched as Bryan led Nami away.
Tala lowered his eyes slightly looking worried.
Kai's eyes narrowed, "Where is he taking her?"
"I don't know…" Tala said quietly, and he meant it.
"Be careful…" Bryan whispered before giving Nami a gentle nudge towards Voltaire.
Nami nodded before walking towards the man.
The gray haired man dismissed Bryan with a wave of a hand as he faced the opposite direction.
They were both standing in the back parking lot of the hotel where no one but the employees parked.
"You have no idea what you were in for the day you met Kai Hiwatari."
Nami scowled.
"I have a proposal…or blackmail, whatever you want to call it…" he continued, ignoring her glare.
"Why are you doing this!" Nami growled.
"You will come to Russia with us…" Voltaire said quietly.
"And why would I want to?" Nami said in a low voice
"We need you for our project…" Voltaire said calmly.
"And what would that be?"
"That doesn't matter right now, but you will come…" Voltaire said calmly.
"Proposal?"
"If you don't agree to our terms…Kai will die." Voltaire said coolly.
"You'd kill your own grandson!" Nami exclaimed tears pricking the corner of her eyes.
"I would."
"You foul bastard, how dare…"
"I would." Voltaire repeated.
Nami stood near the doorway tears pouring down her pale cheeks.
"I can't believe you would…to your own family! Why!" she whispered.
"What is your decision?"
Nami turned to leave, "…I'll meet you in the airport…"
tbc…
