Chapter 32- Age 17 IV: Forgiving
Kai was sitting on the ground in his backyard petting Buke on his head while he slept on Kai's lap. He was still in depress mode after all of the things that he did over the week.
"Why did I do it, Buke?" Kai asked the tiger. "I guess I'm the loser of the century. WHY MUST I LOSE EVRYTHING?!?!?!" Kai yelled shaking poor Buke to dizziness.
"Reow...." Buke reponded with dizzy eyes.
"Hiwatari? What are you doing out of school?" a voice from behind Kai asked. Kai jerked his head around and saw that it was Sgt. Major Wong.
"I'm suspended, sir," Kai responded dully. "I beat someone up."
"Well..." Wong walked over to Kai's yard, "CONGRATULATIONS!"
"Eh?!" Kai said in a shocked expression cocking his eyebrow.
"You let your anger out AND you fought that's what you gotta do to get stronger," Sgt. Major said shaking his hand. "But, fighting in school is wrong so..." Sgt. Major let go of Kai's hand and his popped him in the back of his head.
"OW! Geez!" Kai yelped rubbing the back of his head.
"Now you know how the people you hurt feels," Sgt. Major stated.
"You hit them in the head, too?"
"NO! It mean that you either hurt them emotionally or physically."
"So... if I hit them back, they'll forgive me?"
"No...." Sgt. Major sighed.
"Well, I don't forgive you cuz that seriously hurt."
"Argh... Okay.. let me take this into another direction..." he started to look around while thinking. "I got it! Duke, come here." Duke walked over to Sgt. Major and sat down next to him. "Now, hit Duke."
"Uh... alright," Kai punched Duke in his front leg and Duke hit him back with his paw.
"Now, you are both even. Do you understand now?" Sgt. Major asked.
"Um... I have to apolgize to Mariah and then... let Dunga beat me up?"
".... Close enough..." Sgt. Major sweatdropped.
"How do you apologize anyways. I'm not good at stuff like that because... I never apologized before sincerely," Kai said dropping his head.
"You gotta think about that yourself, son."
Kai thought about it for a while then an idea popped into his head. "THAT'S IT! Thanks, sir! I got something to do now!" Kai then ran into the house and ran up to his room.
"Young love, crazy, but sweet," Sgt. Major shook his head and walked back to his house.
~*~A few days later after school~*~
Mariah was getting her books out of her locker when she saw Rei walking up to her. She sighed and closed her locker and began to walk off.
"Mariah, wait!" Rei yelled running up to her. "I just wanna talk for a second!"
"If this anything about Kai, then I don't wanna talk about it," Mariah said speed walking now.
"How would you know if it's about Kai if you don't wanna talk?" Rei asked catching up with her.
She stopped and turned facing Rei, "Because that's what bestfriends do the last time I remember." She then walked off.
'Durn it,' Rei thought, 'I gotta think of something... come on... think think think... GEEZ... Why is this lying stuff so hard for me and not for Tyson, Kai, or Tala? I got it!' "I thought you was coming to the party!"
Mariah then turned around and stared at the raven-haired neko-jin. "A what?"
"Oh... you haven't heard?" Rei said. "It's suppose to be tomorrow night and I was wondering if you wanted to come."
"... Sure, why not," she shrugged.
"Great then. It'll be at Tyson's place at 6:30 okay," Rei said walking off in another direction. 'Geez, how am I suppose to tell Tyson that I told Mariah that there is a party tomorrow?' he thought sweatdropping.
~*~At the Hiwatari home~*~
Tala was looking around the livingroom for the remote control. "Where the heck is that thing?!" Duke then walked in with the remote in his mouth. He jumped on the couch and started to flip channels. "Okay... you guys win... I'll go to Taco Bell! Geez...." He then grabbed his skateboard and shoes and opened the door when Tyson ran into him. "Will I ever have my way for once...?"
"Hey, where's Kai?" Tyson asked getting up off the ground.
"He's been in his room for like.. ever. He can't come out cuz he's on punishment ya know," Tala replied dusting himself off.
"FOLLOW ME!" Tyson then grabbed Tala's arm and dragged him outside and closed the door after him.
"Whatcha want me for?!" Tala asked being dragged.
"We want you to get Kai out of his room and come to my house tomorrow night!" Tyson explained.
"HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE!" Tala finally got out of Tyson's grasp and stopped. "You want me to convince Mom to let Kai get out of punishment? That's like trying to convince Micheal Jackson to hate children!" Tala said throwing his hands in the air.
"Come on, you have to try!" Tyson begged getting on his knees. "Nothing's been the same around here! Our band is kaputt, school is super boring, Lee is in a GOOD mood, both of them are miserable without each other and they just won't admit it, AND you're the only person who can talk to him and be just as sly as him, too!!"
"Hm, most of that is true," Tala said rubbing his whiskers. "Alright, I'll TRY. Mom isn't a hard barginer."
"THANK YOU! You don't know how this can save the world from the mutant slug- monsters! The party's at 6:30, later!" Tyson then ran off to his house and closed the doors.
".... slug-monsters?" Tala asked himself confused and sweatdropping.
~*~Later that night~*~
Kathy has just finished dinner and called down her sons. "Kai, Tala, dinner's ready!" Kai ran down the stairs, grabbed his plate, and ran back up in a record time. Tala then came down, grabbed his plate, and sat down at the table.
"Mom, can I make a deal with you?" Tala said eating between bites.
"Chew and shallow your food for the 534,235,805th time and what kind of deal?" Kathy asked.
"I was wondering if Kai can-"
"Nope," she replied simply.
"But... but... it's for..."
"He is NOT getting out of punishment and that's final," she said sternly.
"You're not being fair! It's only for ONE night, please!"
"It depends what's it for..." she rose her eyebrow at her red-headed son.
"It's for getting those two back together."
"Well.. that completely changes the subject," she said rubbing her chin. "I guess he can... BUT! He comes home as soon as they made up. I can't stand it with them not talking."
"THANK YOU!" Tala hugged his mother extremely tight. "You ARE the best!"
~*~Up in Kai's room~*~
Kai was pacing back and forward thinking of what to say.
"Mariah, I'm sorry for what I... no... that wouldn't work... Um.. Mariah, about what happened last week.... Argh... Why is this apologizing stuff is hard for me and not for Rei and Max?!" Kai then heard a knock on his door. "Come in..."
Tala walked through the door. "Hey dude, I was wonderin' if... you would like to go to a party tomorrow night?"
"I can't go," Kai sulked, "I'm grounded, remember?"
"What would you say if... you're off punishment for that night?" Tala gave out his sly grin.
"For real?" Kai asked shocked.
"Yea, the party starts at 6:30," Tala said turning around. "And make sure you work on that speech a little bit," he said walking off. Kai rose his eyebrow and shrugged.
~*~Tomorrow night~*~
Mariah walked up to Tyson's door and rung the doorbell. She was wearing a casual outfit, a pink long-sleeved shirt and some jeans. Soon, Tyson opened the door and welcomes her in.
"You're kinda early, Mariah," Tyson said closing the door.
Mariah looks around and asked, "Why isn't anything decorated?"
"We decided to have the party outside, ya know," Tyson explained. "Everything's almost ready, too. So you can go outside and wait for everyone else to come since you're early." Tyson then pushed Mariah out to his backyard and closed the door behind him. Mariah then shrugged and sat down in a lawn chair and waited.
A few more minutes later, Kai walked to Tyson's dojo home, knocked on the door and waited. Tyson then opened the door and grinned.
"Heh, what's up with people coming so early?" Tyson let Kai in and he closed the door after him. "We're going to have the party outside so..." Tyson then pushed Kai out the door, "wait till everyone comes!" He then locks the door and placed a grin on his face.
"Okay! They're both locked outside!" Soon, everyone started to climb out of their hiding places.
"Geez, Tyson," Rei said coming out of his closet with Hiromi, "your closet is kickin'!"
"Whatcha want me to do, it's just a closet," Tyson defended.
"At least you're not under his Got Durn* bed," Lee and Tala came out from under Tyson's bed. (*Got Durn- it's a southern slang to prevent teenagers from cursing with the Lord's name. It means God $%*^. For more information, I'll make a story in fp.com on slangs u need to learn in the south ^_^)
"One word Tyson," Max said coming out of the bathroom fanning his nose from the smell, "Lysol!"
"Forget the smell you guys," Tyson sweatdropped, "we got to get the place decorated so when they come back in we'll surprise them AND THEN convince them to come back together." Everyone, ironically, argeed with the hatted teen and they all started to get to work
~*~Meanwhile outside in Tyson's backyard~*~
As soon as Kai was locked out, he suddenly spotted Mariah sitting in a lawn chair. She then look at him and turned away. Kai then walked over there and pulled up a lawn chair and sat a close/far distant from her.
"Uh... hey?" Kai asked nervously. Mariah didn't respond. "Listen, about what I said last week, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say anything of that junk."
"Then why did you say it," Mariah turned around looking hurt.
"You know how I am... I just blurt things out at the wrong place, at the wrong moment, at the wrong time. And I'm sorry, I really am. I guess that... I don't understand how important you really were to me. I mean, we were friends since I move here and I hope that well, you would find it in your heart to forgive me. I don't want to lose you to anyone else," Kai walked over to Mariah's chair and put his hand over hers.
"You really mean that?" Mariah looked into his crimson eyes.
"Let someone steal Dranzer from me and hit me with a truck if I didn't," Kai said giving her his 'one-in-a-million smiles'. And then Voltaire came out of no where and.... (okay I'll stop...) They then hug each other very tightly.
"I'm sorry, too," Mariah whispered in Kai's ear.
"What are you sorry for?"
"I'm sorry for punching you in the nose after getting extremely angry."
"Heh, I deserved it if you ask me," Kai said. They then stared at each other in the eye for 3 whole minute, getting closer and closer. Soon, both of them began to kiss passionately for over 4 minutes. They then slowly seperated to give each other air.
"Apoligy accepted," they other together. They then decided to walk back into the house but realized that the door was locked.
"Tyson would lock the door," Mariah sweatdropped. Then, the door was unlocked. They both decided to walk in cautiously, which made them be surrounded by everyone talking at the same time.
"What are you guys trying to say?!" Kai yelled through the yelling.
"YOU AND MARIAH SHOULD GET BACK TOGETHER!" Everyone yelled in a usion.
"But..." Mariah said.
"You guys have been together for too long, you got to make up!" Jackie said in a desperate way.
"We are..." Kai said putting his index finger in the air.
"Don't make one of the biggest mistakes that will make the evil slug- monsters take over the world!" Tyson yelled.
"Together?" They both said in a usion facefaulting. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and stared at the couple.
"FOR SIZZLE*?!" Everyone yelled. (For Sizzle- another way to say 'For real' Snoop Dogg style ^^;)
"Uh... yea," Kai said uncertained.
"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"
"Anniversary?" Mariah asked puzzled. "For what?"
"Since you guys have been together, duh!" Tala said. "It was Janurary 2nd last Sunday."
"Janurary 2nd? It's not till July 2nd on Saturday!" Kai corrected.
"July 2nd?!" Hiromi then turned to Max. "You told everyone that it was in Janurary 2nd!"
"Geez, I was close," Max started to cower away, "it was still on the weekend on the 2nd and the month began with a 'J'."
Everyone just slapped their foreheads and then slapped Max's forehead and went to party.
