An Unexpected Love

Ch 16

Changes Caused by Dares

Kai's POV

'Hmmm… so warm and comfortable… what time is it? I don't wanna wake up, not yet…' I thought as I saw some light through my eye lids.

I tried to open my eyes but sleep and laziness wouldn't let me.

I realized that I was holding something or someone, my arm was around something small and there was a strange but comfortable weight on my lap.

I finally opened my sleep covered eyes and realized who I was holding, I started blushing and my heart was racing.

'Angel, she was sleeping in my arms, it felt so good, it felt right… she's so peaceful so calm, she looks like a real angel, she's my little angel… wait. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts, bad thoughts… get out, get out, get out and WHY AM I BLUSHING? Why is my heart beating so fast? Why does she have the power to do this to me? I don't understand! Why did I have to fall for her? I know I love her but will she love me?' I thought, 'I can't help thinking of her, she's just… I can't describe what she is, I'm not gonna wake her up, I'll just sleep a little longer…' before I fell asleep I looked around.

Tyson was sprawled out on the floor and Hilary was right next to him, her head was resting on his chest and miraculously he didn't snore so loud during the night thus making it easier to sleep. The blanket that had once covered them was now on the carpet somewhere near them.

Ray and Mariah were sleeping on the loveseat in a tight embrace so that they wouldn't fall off of it; the blanket they shared was now on the floor, it had probably fallen during the night.

Max, well he was on the same couch we were on he was sprawled out and was nearly falling off he still had the blanket on him he was hugging one of the couch pillows like a teddy bear.

Danny was just sitting there, he looked like he was just sitting there with his eyes closed but you could tell that he was sleeping somehow.

I thought about the kiss last night, I know it wasn't much but I still felt something, something I've never felt before. Did she feel it to? Or was it just me?

I opened my eyes, she was moving, I saw as her eyes opened slowly.

"Um… Kai? Wha… what…" she began saying then realized where she was and started to blush a lot, she was bright red but a blush only makes her seem more beautiful.

"I'm soooo sorry! Why didn't you wake me up?" she whispered loudly trying not to wake the others up as she slowly got up off my lap.

I shrugged, "you looked so beautiful and peaceful I didn't want to wake you up" I heard myself say, I started blushing again, my mouth was moving but my brain had shut down making me just talk with out thinking.

Angel blushed too, "Sorry again, I didn't…"

"It's ok, don't worry about it" I said cutting her off.

She stood up and walked into the kitchen. I got up and went outside for some fresh air.

I climbed up a tree and sat there, I didn't want to go and get on the roof this morning, and I also missed my morning practice. I was thinking but you could easily mistake my thinking for sleeping.

I sighed.

I heard someone outside; I opened my eyes and saw Tyson's grandpa.

I guess he got back last night. Maybe it was him who covered everyone with one of those thin blankets.

Grandpa was practicing his kendo.

I saw someone come out, it was Danny.

I don't know if he saw me but he was walking towards me or rather towards the tree.

He sat down at the base of the tree.

"Kai I want to talk to you" he said.

Well, I guess he did see me, I didn't respond him anyway. If he wants to talk he can come up here.

"If you won't answer then I guess I'm coming up" he said standing up.

I only grunted at him and closed my eyes once again.

He climbed up the tree with ease; he should after all he was in the abbey.

When he reached the top he sat on the branch a little lower than the one I was on.

"I noticed something, and I haven't been here for too long, nor have I known you or even Angel for too long but I saw something last night that I'm not to sure you know" he said, what was he talking about? I don't understand.

"What do you mean?" I asked, he had caught my interest.

"How do you feel towards my sister?" he asked.

That was a totally random question and I didn't bother to answer.

"Since you won't tell me I'll answer for you. You love her, and she loves you" he told me.

I looked at him with a confused look which I quickly covered up with my usual emotionless mask.

"Don't try to deny it, maybe you've admitted it to yourself but you'll deny it with others" he reasoned.

"How do you know?" I asked and surprised myself again, I wasn't thinking just talking.

"I saw it in your eyes, and the way you are around each other" he explained.

"Hmmm" was my only response.

"But you are going to have to tell her you know" Danny began, "you never know when another guy will come her way and take her heart, but now it belongs to you, don't break it Kai she really likes you"

"And did she tell you any of this?" I asked skeptically.

"Not in so many words but she hinted it" said Danny and smiled.

"Hn"

"Just tell her, you might not have another chance to do it. And Kai I'm warning you don't break her heart, I want her to be happy, she may seem it all the time but she isn't always, don't hurt her" he told him while he got down from the tree.

"Think about what I just told you" he said when he got to the bottom and left for the kitchen.

I wonder if he's right. I should tell her soon, I know the others want us to get together too but it isn't that easy, this is the hardest thing that I'm going to do.

I sighed loudly and rubbed my temples, should or shouldn't I tell her how I feel about her.

I retreated in to my thoughts once again.

Angels POV

Before I was completely awake this morning I the first thing I heard was a heart beat, it was like music to my ears, then all of a sudden it got faster, I started to move a little then I realized that there was something embracing me, whatever it was it had a warm strong feeling to it, it was so comfortable I didn't want to wake up I wanted to stay like that as long as I could. Then I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I saw was Kai, and he looked so handsome he looks good in the mornings, no to mention all the time, it's no wonder he has so many fan girls. I didn't realize I had slept on him and when I did realize I felt my face burn up and I felt a huge blush come up. I was so embarrassed and then he said "you looked so beautiful and peaceful I didn't want to wake you up" that made me blush even more! He had blushed too when he said that, he has a sweet innocent look when he does that. Anyway I don't know if he wanted to say that, it didn't seem like he did, but then again he is a strange guy.

I got up and walked to the kitchen. I saw grandpa and I asked him about his trip. He said it was fun to visit his old friend, he said he was starting to feel better.

I saw Danny get up then Ray and Mariah, they were watching T.V. Tyson and Max were still sleeping. Kenny was still in the room working on mine and Kai's beyblades. Hilary was lying next to Tyson while watching T.V.

After I had left to the kitchen Kai had gone outside.

I went in to the common room where the others were and sat down on the end where Kai was sitting in last night.

All of a sudden I realized I haven't been able to get him out of my head. He had been there all morning.

'WHY CAN'T I GET HIM OUT OF MY HEAD!' I yelled inwardly, 'is it because I love him, could that be it? The kiss… last night, it was like no other I have had. I was beautiful. His lips against mine (sigh) what I wouldn't give just to feel like that again' I thought I knew I loved him I just didn't know if he loved me too. I thought I saw something in his amazing amethyst eyes last night, what was it was he showing me… what was it?' I tried to think about something else, 'augh today I have to be a Barbie doll but Mariah will be goth, it's gonna be a big change for her!' I laughed inwardly.

Danny had left soon after I came into the living room, he looked at me and I gave him a questioning look he only got up and went outside. I shrugged and turned my attention to Mariah.

"Hey, Mariah, Ray" I called to them; they turned to look at me.

"We're going shopping today! And I am going to help you two since you already get to do something to me" I told them, they both groaned.

"Well at least me and Mariah will get you to be our model" Hilary said getting in the conversation.

"Humph" I pouted.

Kenny came into the room we were all in, he looked exhausted.

"Hey chief, you alright?" I asked concerned.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep much but it was worth it" he said and took out mine and Kai's blades.

"Wow! Chief you really outdid yourself this is great! Elzer's never looked this good before! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" I exclaimed and gave him a small hug of appreciation.

"It was no problem" he said in return.

"Ahem! Are you forgetting something!" asked an annoyed Dizzy.

"Sorry Dizzy, I couldn't have done it with out you!" he said remembering Dizzy.

"That makes me feel so much better!" Dizzy said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Ok I'm going to go and give this to Kai now" he told me.

"Yeah, ok, by the way, thanks Dizzy!" I acknowledged the moody bitbeast.

They went out to where he was.

I decided to go back into the kitchen.

Danny came in just after.

"Hey Angel, I'm going to have to show you and Kai where I get my info, and also we have to practice" he told me.

I nodded.

I went to wake Tyson up but then I saw that Kai was already going to do it.

He had a chocolate chip cookie in his hand and held it under his nose.

"Hmmm…food" he said in his sleep then he opened his eyes and tried to snatch it away but Kai was too quick for him. He got up and walked into the kitchen and put it away. He brought back a glass of milk and a small slice of toast.

"Here" he ordered Tyson.

"What's this?" he asked, he already forgot about the dare. Typical Tyson.

"This? This is your breakfast" handing it to him once more.

"Remember Tyson, the dare… duh!" said the now awake Max.

"Speaking of dares we have to go shopping to get what we need" I told everyone.

"First comes practice" Kai said not really looking at me.

'Is he avoiding me?' I asked myself.

After everyone ate we headed out to the park where we ran a couple laps did our usual physical exercises and then we did a little bit of beyblading and some courses.

After that we went to the mall (A/N: let's just say there is a mall) then we split up, me, Mariah, Hilary and Ray were together. Max, Tyson, Kai, Danny and Kenny went another way.

Normal POV

(I'm gonna speed this up so that you won't have to read all that k!)

When they were there the whole time Tyson begged Kai to let him eat, he tried his hardest not to complain but he begged instead. Kai denied him access to food but said he was able to drink all he wanted and he didn't really care what it was either.

'I wish I could convince him as easily as Angel could, I should get her to get him to feed me!' he tried but Angel said that she wouldn't help him; she said he had brought it on himself. He had asked when they were all together.

Mariah and Hilary did all the shopping they got an outfit for Ray and a couple for Angel. Angel had left them for a while and when to another store in which there were all sorts of cloths ranging from punk to gothic to tomboy. That was where she got Mariah's outfit, she took it as her job to make Mariah suffer as pay back therefore she was going to choose her outfit.

It was around 4 in the afternoon when they got back, the guys all went to watch T.V. until they were needed.

The girls all when into one room dragging Ray with them.

He groaned but he didn't have a choice so he went along with them.

When the girls were done with him he looked good for a cross dresser anyways.

His hair was let loose and brushed so it was really soft and straight, he was wearing a white tank top that said "SHUT UP!" in bold black letter. He wore a black skirt that reached a little above his knees along with white heeled sandals.

When he came out everyone turned to their attention to him and began to at him, Max and Tyson were rolling on the ground shedding tears of mirth. Danny was trying his best to stifle a laugh and Kai was merely smirking but inside he really wanted to laugh but he didn't. Kenny was laughing too but not as hard along with Grandpa.

Ray was bright red, he looked lie a tomato, Tyson's grandpa asked why he was dressed like that and Kenny filled him in on the truth and dare game they had played the previous night. This was the most embarrassed Ray's ever been. He stayed quiet and sat down in an empty chair still blushing.

"Now…" began Hilary.

"It's your turn!" Angel squealed as she dragged Mariah in to the room.

Mariah groaned, she like her pinkness and she didn't want to change but she had to, she had no choice.

Angel did her makeup and chose her clothes and helped her dye her hair.

When Mariah came out she looked at the others they were all staring at her, the change had been startling. She didn't look like her sweet old self. Angel had done a great job in making her look gothic.

For one she had black hair now which was let down, she wore a short black skirt and had a loose studded belt around her slim waist. On her legs she had black fishnet tights and on her feet there were black combat boots. Her top was a black halter top; it said "Back Off!" in bold purple letters. It was a small shirt so it showed her flat stomach. Silver studs adorned her ears and she also wore a necklace with a silver cross.

Her makeup was dark. She wore black eye shadow, thick mascara, dark eyeliner and dark lipstick, the way Angel applied it made her have a sexy mysterious look.

"Wow!" was all Ray said.

"Yeah, my thoughts exactly" the rest said besides Kai and Angel.

"You don't look like you, you look a lot different" Hilary exclaimed.

"Black looks good on you" Angel said.

"Really?" Mariah asked unsurely, "I haven't seen myself so…" she said walking to the room where there was a full length mirror that Angel had covered so that everyone else could see first.

She was shocked at her reflection, it looked good in a weird way, but she still didn't like it.

She had a mischievous glint in her dark cat like eyes when she turned to look at Angel.

'Uh oh' thought Angel, 'it's my turn now' she groaned to herself.

"Fine, fine let's get this over with!" she said.

Both Mariah and Hilary shoved her into the room and shut it from behind.

From outside they guys could hear that they were having trouble getting Angel to cooperate.

"I don't get it! Why don't you like this it looks so good on you!" they heard Mariah yell through the door.

After a while, the struggling came to a stop and it sounded like Angel finally gave in a let her self be made over.

Then ten minutes later Mariah and Hilary stood at the door blocking it so no one could see.

"Tada!" they chorused as they stepped away revealing a made over Angel.

She was wearing a short jean skirt with a black strapless midriff shirt that said "Look but don't touch" in blue letters, she wore blue sandals on her small feet. She wore clear lip gloss along with mascara, eyeliner and lightly applied blue eye shadow. They had made her wear her hair down, half of it was up in a messy bun and the rest cascaded down toy the small of her back. The clothes that the older girls had chosen for her accented her small but well shaped curves.

The guys were gawking at her. Kai turned to look at her and was in a trance, she looked even more beautiful then she already was. He thought she looked stunning.

Danny was confused, 'Is this really my little sister, she looks so much like our mother, the resemblance is remarkable, she doesn't look like the childish person she acts like anymore, she looks older more mature' he thought.

"WHAT!" Angel said, "This is one of the reasons why I don't dress like this!" she complained.

"It's just that I never thought you could look like that" Tyson said stupidly.

She smacked him upside the head.

"OW! That hurt!" he complained.

"So… what do you guys think of her?" Hilary asked.

"I think she looks great!" complemented Max.

"Yeah" Kenny agreed. Grandpa nodded.

"I agree, you look a lot like mom" Danny added and caressed her cheek.

Angel blushed, "No I don't, she was too beautiful" she said quietly.

"Say what you want but you know it's true" he told her.

"We may not have seen your mother but one thing is that you look lovely, you changed a lot and it looks good on you. You really shouldn't be ashamed" Ray told her.

"Um… thanks you guys" she said unsurely, "I'm going to go outside now" she said and left to go outside she sat down on the porch.

It was already around 6; the sun was about to set. Angel sat outside watching it as it when slowly lowered into the horizon.

Kai decided to go outside with her, he sat next to her. She didn't move.

"Hey" she said quietly.

"Hey" he said just as quietly, "you know you do look beautiful, but you looked just as beautiful before" he said, this time he wanted to say this, even though it wasn't like him he wanted to say it.

"Hmmm" was all she said, she was afraid she would stumble on her own words if she tried to talk, she felt her face heat up.

After a short silence he stood up.

"You wanna go for a walk?" he asked.

"Um, sure" she said accepting his offer and got up.

'Why is he acting like this?' Angel asked herself.

Ok I'll end it here. There'll be more fluffyness and action in the next chapter!
