True Colours: Seeing You
How long had it been now? Two years....two years of sitting in a classroom wanting to see her walk through the door. Two years of regretting, two years of guilt. Kai had finished school eight months ago, and he had travelled out to Russia to see his grandfather on 'urgent business'. Voltaire had handed the Biovault Corporation over to Kai, he claimed to be getting too old, so now, the young almost-twenty-year-old president of the company spent all his time trying to keep Biovault one step ahead of all the other science facilities and companies that were researching beyblades.
He had put up with his 'friend' Tala for the rest of his time at school, and hadn't said anything when his grandfather offered Tala the position of vice president. However, he had been relieved when the red head had refused, saying that he wasn't ready to settle into a permanent job like that. Kai hadn't seen him since, which he was glad of. Now would be the perfect time to find .... Her and make amends, now that Tala was out of the picture and he was out of school he could tell her the truth and not worry about his reputation being damaged. But, there was one problem; he had no idea where she was...
!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:
..Psht...
'here we can see the fine art work on this roman vase, valued at around..'
..Psht...
'and Hanson is safe at third! Bowler steps up to the plate..'
..Psht...
Monday, Kai was exceedingly bored, he was starting to realise why his grandfather went in for the whole taking over the world thing, there was just nothing to do in the Biovault abbey. The Russian sky outside was clouded over with clouds which in all probability would yield to a storm later that night. He lay sprawled lazily on his sofa, situated in his own private quarters, flicking idly through the television channels.
'the mother lion will now nurture her cubs until they are old enough to..'
..Psht...
' doctors are finally convinced that they are ready to proceed with the first whole eye transplant, Hael Kinyonova..'
Kai froze, and turned the volume up, his heart pounding in his ears at the very sound of her name, listening intently to the news report.
'Hael Kinyonova was born blind, with no retinas or optic nerves in either of her eyes. She has volunteered to have the operation, she has been warned that there are risks because this has never before been done, but if it is successful then in will mean a breakthrough in medical science. To gain sufficient funding for the treatment a foundation has been erected which is to be called the 'Kinyonova Fund'. The operation is to take place in Hael's home town of Moscow in Russia. If you wish to donate to this charity, the telephone number is being shown now on the screen.'
Kai's mind was blank.... She was in Moscow? It was the first time he had heard anything about her or her whereabouts. He managed to snap himself out of his daze just quickly enough to write down the number.
If she was in Moscow as well, that meant it would be easy enough to find her, he could have her in his arms by tonight if he wanted to. He almost radioed Spencer, but paused... could he really do that?
After what he had said to her...
"You really are stupid!" Kai interrupted, unable to stand the fact that every word she spoke was correct. The grey eyes locked with his, and it surprised him, they were boring into his own. She had never looked at him so clearly, normally her vision would look somewhere over his shoulder..... but now, it was like she was looking at his soul. He could see every emotion she was feeling, and it crushed his heart to see what she felt at his next words.
"I. Hate. You."
.... No
Kai sat up, and instead of grabbing the radio, he picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number.
"Hello, Kinyonova Fund, how much would you like to donate?" A familiar feminine voice asked him, Kai couldn't place exactly where he had heard it before.
"How much more money do you need for the operation to go ahead?" he asked.
"Uhh, let me just find out for you." She said. Kai waited, he could hear a few voices yelling, and a few moments later the woman's voice sounded in his ear again.
"well, we're still a way off our mark, for the operation to go ahead, we need to raise two hundred thousand dollars." She said with a slightly resigned sigh.
"Alright then, I'll donate that much." Kai said.
There was a surprised spluttering sound as the woman struggled to find words.
"A-are you s-sure? I mean, two hundred thousand dollars..."
"Yes, I'm quite sure. I'll bring the money in cash, where do you want me to come?"
There was no reply for a second, Kai frowned, wondering if the phone had died, but the quiet sounds of sobbing told him it had not. He was about to ask what was wrong when she interrupted him.
"Thank you so much, because of you... my baby is going to be able to see!" she said.
Kai blinked in surprise...
"What do you mean?"
"Hael is my daughter, thank you so much, you can drop off the money at hospital just off the square in the centre of Moscow, do you know the one I mean?"
"Yes." He was talking to her mother.....
"Please, you must speak with her!" She said. Before Kai could say anything else he heard a new voice take the place of the other, one he knew very well.
"Hello?" She said.
Kai's throat was dry.... Hael was talking to him!
"... Hi." He managed after a pause, dropping his voice a decibel or two so she wouldn't recognize him.
"Please, what's your name, I have so much to thank you for." She said.
Kai panicked, he needed to get off the phone before he gave himself away, the idea of merely telling her who it was made him feel sick to his stomach. So, he said the first name that sprang to mind.
"Tala Valkov." He muttered quickly, then slammed down the receiver.
!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!!:
"Well sweetie what's his name?" Hael's mother asked her as she gently placed the phone back on the hook.
The sightless nineteen year old barely heard her mother. Tala?! Why would he donate the money, she was instantly skeptical at the whole thought, but why would anyone give a false name? And that name to be exact. She had never had that much real contact with Tala, most of her time had been spent with Kai.
Kai.....
The mere memories of him were enough to bring a painful stabbing sensation into her breast. She had been so sure that he felt something for her, so sure that he would forego his pride and let her into his heart.
"Sweetheart?"
"I didn't get a name, the line went dead." She said with half a smile. "Mother, don't get your hopes up, it was probably just a crank call, I'll be quite surprised if the money shows up." She said.
"Well he sounded like a gentleman to me, I think he was telling the truth." She said.
"Hmm." Hael muttered absently.
After a moment her mother sighed and gently laid a hand on her shoulder.
"You're thinking about that boy again aren't you darling?" she said knowingly.
"Uhh, no, of course not. Why would I think about Kai? I was just wondering of the operation will be successful.... I'll actually be able to see." She said, turning away so her mother wouldn't see the slight flush that had entered her cheeks.
But her mother was right..... Hael had never been able to stop thinking of him. She had thought that when they moved back to Russia it would have been easier to forget him, but how wrong she was. Everyday, she imagined what it may be like to be able to wake up, curled in his arms, to be able to open her eyes and see his face. A face that she knew would be so handsome...
Perhaps, once she could see, she could seek him out, just so she could have one glimpse of him, just to know if he looked as stunning as he felt.
!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:!:
Wild-Roze: Alrighty then. So Kai, though he doesn't know it has gone and done something rather dumb, so Hael thinks its Tala donating the money.... But where abouts IS Tala. Will the operation go ahead as planned? If it does, is she ever gonna meet up with Kai again? Okies, well sorry it was so short and stuff. Oh and....
