Here's the next chapter, sorry I took so long to update. I want to say thanks to Rissy-Riss (and I did kind of use it for blackmail, though not really, thanks for the idea!) and whitewingedstallion (I'm glad you liked it so much... umm I hope your not reading it just cause you think Kai sounds hot) for reviewing, I hope you keep doing it. I'll try to get another chapter in before I leave (I'm going to be gone for two weeks, I'll give you bunches of chapters if you get back) so please enjoy!
Whipped
"Hey kiwi, are you ready for practice after school!" I winced and turned away from my locker to find Lily about to jump me.
"Yes I am," I said quickly, putting my arms up to avoid the hug I was about to get forced on me. "What about Matt, is he coming again?" Good, I think that distracted her.
"Yuppers!" Ouch, maybe not. Lily's enthusiastic hug had knocked us both down onto the floor. I think I spend more time on the ground then I do standing. "Oops, sorry Kiwi, it's just that I haven't seen you very much this past week, ever since we both got new boyfriends…" She's right, we hadn't seen each other a lot and usually the first week of school is the time where we spend the most time together.
"Wait a minute, two things you said don't check out. Number one, I don't have a boyfriend; Kai and I are just friends. And number two, since when do you have a boyfriend?" Lily started to stutter and blush and I couldn't help but open my mouth in shock. Lily never stutters and blushes, that's my job.
"Well, remember on the first day how I was late for homeroom and I said I ran into this guy? That's when I met him and we've been seeing each other ever since. I know it's only been a week but I really like him. But that's enough about me, what do you mean you and Kai are just friends!" I started to back away slowly as she started to glare me down.
"I'm just going to have to change that, aren't I?" I really didn't like the way she said that. I mean sure, Kai's a good guy but I didn't want to see anyone right now.
"And how do you think you are going to be able to do that, huh?" Just keep answering her questions with questions; that should work, right? Wait, what's that in her hand… that's a picture of Kai and me! Awww, we look so cute, Lily must have taken it during our first da… I mean outing.
"I'm going to go drop this into Veronica's locker." Why would she do that, what would be the point? Did she say Veronica?
"Noooo! If you do that she'll come after me and there would be this big confrontation! I don't want to be the center of attention right now; I've been doing so well all week." I quickly latched onto her arm and tried to dig in my heels so she couldn't move but she just kept on dragging me over towards Veronica's locker.
When we reached it she gave me one last chance to get out of it. "Are you going to do something about you and Kai?" She can be so evil sometimes.
"Lily, I don't want to have a relationship with anyone right now, it's just a waste of time… NO LILY!" I was too late, she plopped the picture through the slits in Veronica's locker. I was now doomed. She gave a gasp and grabbed my braid, dragging me around the corner.
I peeked around the corner with Lily and saw Veronica sashaying towards her locker with her lackeys close behind. They were all talking about Kai and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It was common knowledge that Veronica has claimed that Kai is her and will make anyone's life a living hell if they try to steal him from her.
They reached her locker and she popped it open and the picture landed in front of her feet. "What's this?" She asked no one in particular as she picked it up. "Grrrrrr, Kitty Kat is so dead; just wait until I get my hands on her!" She crumpled the picture in her hand and I almost wanted to rush out and grab it from her. Almost,I mean itwas really cute, but I wasn't stupid.
Lily and I were desperately trying not to laugh out loud at the expression on Veronica's face. Lily couldn't control herself anymore and her laughter rang off the slowly filling halls. As soon as she started she set me off too until we were both holding onto each other so we wouldn't fall over. We both looked up when a shadow fell across us and found Veronica glaring down at us. This sent us into a fresh wave of laughter that we couldn't control.
I guess I should be mad at Lily for trying to blackmail me like that but I couldn't, it was just too damn funny!
"Explain yourself Kitty before I decide to break your face!" I looked up at her and just shook my head, trying desperately to get my laughter under control. Veronica's face contorted in rage and she swung her fist out to hit me. Since this time I wasn't angry at all, only amused, I was able to use the full range of my skills.
When I'm in a blood rage, which for some strange reason I go into every once in a while, I don't think, I just punch. I can't even really remember what happens after I come out of it, only vague shadows. I prefer to know exactly how I kicked someone's ass, especially Veronica's. This time I would enjoy every second of it.
I dodged to the side and instead of hitting my face Veronica's fist slams into the wall. She gives a small scream of pain before turning around and coming at me again. This time I dodge to the side again but I wrap my arm up under her arm and around her shoulder. I thrust my right leg in between hers so she tripped forward, then with the arm I had around her shoulder I flipped her back so she did a little flip and landed on her stomach.
She lay there gasping for breath as I stepped back, waiting for her to attack me again. She didn't disappoint me as she crawled to her feet and staggered towards me. With a feral smile on my face I jabbed at her stomach to make her jump back then did an upper cut to chin. She flew back into the wall and slumped down onto the floor in a daze.
I stepped back and turned to find Kai gazing down at me, he was actually making me feel really uncomfortable. He motioned with his head to the outside door so I rolled my eyes and followed with a little wave of my hand to Veronica. I started to notice everyone staring at us as we left I started to blush like mad again. I quickly grabbed his arm and practically dragged him outside. When we were outside he turned to me and snatched my hand as I turned to run.
"Where did you learn those moves?" I started to fidget so he rolled his eyes and yanked me towards him. I gave a gasp as he picked me up bridal style and carried me over to one of the benches that littered the school yawn.
"But, but what about class?" He put me down then sat down beside me, looked over and raised one eyebrow.
"We're skipping the morning." He then put his head on his arms and leant back, looking up at the sky. I started to fidget again so he hooked his arm around my waist so I couldn't get away. I grumbled and sat back again, looking up at the sky with him.
"I know those moves 'cause I've been in training since I was four with Lily and Matt." He sat there in silence for a little bit before looking over at me.
"What kind of training?" I thought about that before I replied, I mean there's been too many to remember.
"I dunno, different martial arts, weapons training, stuff like that. We changed all the time after we mastered something and we were really quick learners." He looked a little surprised at this.
"What kind of weapons can you use?"
"Umm, let's see. I can use twin blades, battle axe, staff, bow and arrow, crossbow, whip…"
"You can use a whip?" He sounded so incredulous that I had to laugh. His shocked expression was so funny, especially when he doesn't usually show any expression.
"Yes I can, they can come in handy in sticky situations. Why don't you come to our training after school and I can show you?" A slow smile crept over his face and he nodded.
I think I will."
Kai followed me into out dojo and he was looking around curiously. Lily and Matt's parents owned it and had itsituatedon their property. Inside the one wall was a mirror from the floor to the ceiling and the others were painted white. The floor was a smooth hardwood floor that was splinter free. We walked into another room and he stopped and opened his mouth in amazement. On three walls that didn't have the door there were weapons on every inch of them.
I went over to my wall and pulled down my whip. It felt good in my hand; I haven't used it in a while. I turned around and Lily and Matt came in. They each went to their own wall and started to pick up their favorite weapon. Matt picked up his broad sword and Lily picked up her staff. She gave the middle section a twist and four inch blades shot out of either end. Kai was now staring with wide eyes as I picked up my smaller battle axe to use with my whip.
I grabbed his arm and dragged him into the dojo with us as we started to wait for our sensei to arrive. I placed Kai in a corner out of the way then joined Lily and Matt in the middle where we all bowed to the man that entered. He returned our bow then made a quick motion of his hand, indicating us to par against each other. So it would be me against Lily and Matt. This was going to be tough, they made an awesome team.
Matt and Lily went into their stances facing me and then sensei Rick gave the command for us to start. I instantly flicked my whip forward and wrapped it around Lily's staff, I yanked back and both Lily and her staff were flung into the wall since she wouldn't let go of it. I brought up my axe at the same time I did that to block Matt's attack. I hooked my axe around his blade and pushed him back into the wall.
I then ducked and rolled to the side, flicking my whip again up onto one of the bars that hung from the ceiling and pulled myself up, running across the wall. I pulled my whip down again and flicked it towards Matt this time. He was forced to drop down on his stomach or get a whip in the face. I had to jump up then because Lily was running at me with her staff, now with the blades out.
After jumping her slice at my feet I swung my axe at her stomach. She jumped back and went to spear me through the chest with one of her blades. I jumped again, but this time I landed on her staff and brought down the handle of my axe on her head.
She dropped to the floor and I concentrated on Matt. I wouldn't let him get close but constantly flicked my whip at him forcing him back. He brought up his sword and my whip wrapped around it and he pulled back. I was yanked forward since I refused to let go. He made a mistake the mistake of having his sword trapped so I leaped on him and knocked him out like I did Lily.
I stood up straight and turned to sensei Rick and bowed. Lily and Matt's mom were helping them up and putting icepacks on their heads. Ok, so I might have over done it a bit but I wasn't showing off for Kai, I swear.
Momma dearest was shaking with laughter and finally Matt asked, "What is it?"
"You guys were whipped." Have I ever mentioned how much I love their mom?
"Is everything going according to plan?" The purple haired man asked, talking into a cell phone.
"Yes, I've gained her trust."
"Good, then we shall proceed as plan, take her tomorrow and your life will again be yours." He hung up the phone and then started to laugh. "Fool, your life will never be yours"
