chapter 11, Compitition for Kai

Takoso blushed when she looked back at everyone.

"Well, what else where we supposed to do when ya locked us in there!" She said deffensively.

Chison laughed again and said,

"Sleep I guess."

Kai scoweled when Chison shook Takoso's hand and hugged her. Takoso was out-of-charicterly giggly and girly. Tyson boke in and said,

"Chison is a scateboarder at the place you go to all the time, we met him at the Beyblading Dome. We asked him to join the team."

Kai's eyes got big and stuttered,

"The team?"

"Ya," Said Tyson. "We'll have to rent another bedroom, but it wont matter as much since you oddly havent been coming out of Takoso's room at night."

Kai and Takoso looked at eachother blushing. They couldent explain why they slept in the same bedroom...and bed. Ray shrugged,

"Or we could have you sleep in the one bed room, and Chison and Takoso sleep in the two bed room."

Kai groweled no.

"We can have Tyson, Ray, me in this bedroom. Kenny and Chison in the other new bedroom, and you and Takoso in the other." suggested Max.

They all agreed and Chison started to unpack in the new room. Takoso came into Chisons bedroom, and sat on the bed opposite him.

"So, you can board, sing, beyblade, AND dance?" Asked Chison.

Takoso laughed and said,

"and act and play baseball!"

Chison looked down chukling.

"Don't tell me you do sports, and play poker good too?

Takoso smiled proudly.

"Yep, I'm a pretty mean Cab player, and I play all kinds of sports."

Chison looked up at her and smiled widly,

"So in other words your the perfect girl?"

Takoso blushed and felt oddly light and happy when he smiled at her.

"I'm not perfect." She said.

"I beg to differ." Said Chison. "Your pretty, have a great figure," He looked her up and down blushing lightly. "You can sing, dance, skateboard, act, play sports, and play poker...If I'm wrong, I don't wanna be right!"

Takoso flushed, feeling so oddly happy around this boy, and getting compliment from him. His smile widened when he saw her blush. He returned to getting unpacked. Takoso smiled as she saw his "support the Last Chance orphanage" bracelet. She knew the landlady began to sell them, but she hadn't seen anyone whering one until now.

"You support orphans?" She asked.

"Ya, if I have extra money, why keep it? I give it to people who really need it."

Takoso looked down.

"If you promise not to tell anyone I'll tell you something."

He promised. Takoso took a deap breath and said,

"I lived in that orphanage until Tyson and Kenny picked me up off the steets..."

"Really?" Said Chison. "Thats terrible, did any of my money help?"

Takoso scoffed sadly,

"It probably did, but I barely ever got any thing. I got fed about once every 3 days. The landlady fed us on a schedual, if there was no food, we didn't get fed, if there was, but if you didn't finish your chores the last 2 days, you had to wait another 3 days to eat again."

That was alot for Chison to take in. He nodded slowly. He walked over to Takoso, and took her hands.

"It's O.K. now, you have your friends to help and protect you."

Takoso nodded, slightly teary at remembering her old home. Just then , Kai walked in to see Chison holding Takoso's hands and Takoso's head turned away, slightly teary.

"U-um...T-Takoso?" Asked Kai.

Chison and Takoso immediatly stood up.

"What Kai?" Answered Takoso.

"What are you duing?"

Chison bristled,

"Maybe talking to me?"

The tension crakled as Kai and Chison stared eachother down.

"Um, Kai, can I talk to you for a sec?" Takoso pulled Kai's arm and pulled him into her room.

"Why do you hate Chison?" she asked him seriously.

"Can't you tell he likes you 'Koso?"

Takoso nodded.

"Ya, but lots of boys like me...Why would Chison be any different?" She blushed looking down. "Especially when I like YOU and no one else..."

Kai softened, and pulled her into a tight embrace. Takoso leaned against Kai as they slightly swayed on their feet. Chison looked through the door that was opend a little. He secretly sneered at Kai.

"She wont love you for much longer..."

4 hours later, night, every one is getting ready to go to bed

Takoso was in her pajamas (( The same shirt as on Kai's birthday, but with flanel shorts on too.)) saying goodnight to everone. When everyone was in bed, and the lights were off, Takoso and Kai went to bed also. ((Kai is whering blue pj pants and a white shirt.)) They got under the covers, and were snuggling up to eachother, Chison walked in. Takoso and Kai sat up fast, blushing hotly. Chison looked faintly surprised, but said,

"So it wasn't just a joke...You two really do sleep in the same bed...Gosh..."

He shrugged and said goodnight again to Takoso then left.

"That was odd..." Said Kai.

Takoso nodded, and got under the covers with Kai again. That night, Takoso had the weirdest dreams.

"Hey Kai!" Yelled a 7 year old version of Takoso.

Kai went up to her and gave her a box with yellow paper. Takoso thanked him and opened it up. Inside was a moving picture of a house on hill with flowers. Suddenly, the house blew up in flames. A little girl with peircing green eyes and blackish blue hair was in the fire. She was being consumed by the fire, but it would not burn her. The girl closed her eyes and put her arms around herself and shivered. Before she was totally consumed by fire, a little boy with black hair and gold eyes reached into the fire, getting burned in the process, and grabed the little girls hand and pulled her out. The girl was deformed by the consuming fire. Her body wasn't any way, the little girls soul and heart were twisted and black. She fell dead in the little boys arms. The little boy started to cry, until a creature came out of the little girls body. The creature was Akisa. She was speaking in the laugnuage of angels,then she put her hand on the little dead girls face. The dead girl suddenly had on the robe of the Makinoyashi. She was reborn into a little human baby. Then Akisa was gone, leaving the new baby with the boy. 7 year old Takoso looked up from the picture to see that Kai was no longer there, but the boy who saved the Makinoyashi was in his place. Suddenly Takoso was looking into a mirror, and she was not there, but the little girl from the moving photo.

Takoso woke up sweating and scared, she started to cry from sheer shock of the dream. Kai woke up, and saw Takoso scared and crying. He took her into his arms and said,

"Shh...don't worry 'Koso...It was just a dream..."

He rocked her gently until she fell back to sleep. Kai set her down, and went back to sleep himself, wondereing what dream could have caused her to be like that. Then Kai started to have frightening dreams,

Takoso was running twords him, arms open. He went up to hug her, but she ran right past him into Chison's arms. Takoso looked up into Chison's eyes and kissed him long on the mouth. Kai was stunned. Then Chison ran his hands up Takoso's back, under her shirt, and Takoso kissed him again. Kai was heart broken. Then it was a dark and rainy night. Kai could hear Takoso muttering then laughing. He walked into a bed room, he would never forget this sight. It was Chison and Takoso. Takoso was around 24 years old, and so was Chison. Their were clothes strewn by the side of the bed. Then the lightning flashed he saw something that made him feel like dieing. They were in the same bed, but didn't just sleep in the bed like Takoso and Kai.

Kai woke up crying silently. He looked down at Takoso sleeping soundly next to him and releif spread through him. She was with him. Not Chison. He felt Takoso stir beside him. She cudled up closer to Kai and sighed contently to herself. Kai told himself he had nothing to worry about. She said she loved him, what more should he nead? He wrapped his hands around Takoso's waist and went back to sleep.

In the morning around 7:30 a.m.

Takoso woke up first for once. She didn't want to sleep anymore for everytime she went to sleep she had the dreams about the little Makinoyashi and the boy with her. She woke up Kai. He sat up.

"Hey, can you leave for a minute so I can get dressed?" She asked.

"Sure..." He streched and then left.

Takoso was about to change her shirt when she realized with embarassment that her shirt must have come off last night, she didn't have one on.

A/N-odd place to leave off, but whatever. Who do you think the Makinoyashi and The little boy are? Are they symbolic? Why am i talking in questions? Heh, off to chapter 12...
