Chapter Twenty-Three: Shock Stricken
2222222222222222222222
That night while (Aya) was in the kitchen doing homework, and Kai was polishing Dranzer, the phone rang. Both (Aya) and Kai stopped what they were doing and exchanged a look. Then (Aya) got up and answered the phone.
"H-hello?"
"Hey (Aya), sweetie! It's Dad!"
"Dad! Oh, god, hi! How are you?"
"I'm alright, just calling to see if everything's ok."
"Everything's fine Dad, I missed you."
"I missed you too, good thing that I'm coming home tonight, huh?"
"Tonight? But you're not supposed to be coming back until Wednesday!"
"I know, time difference. It's confusing honey, I know."
"Oh, right…so, what time will you be back home?"
"11:45 pm, around then, so don't stay up late, I have the day off tomorrow, so we can catch up after school ends for you."
"Oh, alright Dad, what ever you say."
"(Aya), can I talk to your dad fro a minute?" Kai suddenly asked.
(Aya) gave Kai a funny look. "Uh, sure, ok. Dad, Kai wants to talk to you for a bit, I don-ooh! It's 7 o'clock! House is on! Bye Dad!"
(Aya) quickly handed Kai the phone before running off into the living room.
"Err, hello? Kai?"
"Yeah, I'm here Mr (Andrews)."
"Oh…is everything alright? Is there a problem?"
"No, I just wanted to ask you something."
"Well, go right ahead."
"Ok, well, it kinda has something to do with…"
22222222222222222222222222222
Meanwhile, at the corner shops in a phone booth, Zane was having a conversation with Boris.
"You've successfully managed to complete Phase Two, well done Zane."
Zane scowled, even though Boris couldn't see his face. "What exactly do I need to show up at the girl's school for, Boris?"
"To stir things up, idiot! To get her scared and Kai angry."
"And how much longer do I have to stick around for?"
"Until further notice." Boris spat.
"Hn, fine."
"And you know what happens if you disobey your orders, boy."
Zane's mouth pressed into a firm line as he stiffened. "I am fully aware."
"Hn, good. And as you know, it's now my turn to keep up my end of the bargain."
Zane felt his heart hammering hard in his chest.
'Oh, please, please, please!' Zane thought hurriedly as he crossed his middle and index fingers.
"Here, talk to him, you filthy little brat!" Zane heard Boris snarl.
"Z-Zane?" a tiny voice spoke timidly.
"Yuka!" Zane exclaimed in a hushed, relieved voice.
"Hi Zane!"
"Hey, Yuka. How are you?"
"I'm ok, buy I miss yo- "
"Yuka!"
"There boy, you heard the girl, she's fine. And she will continue to remain fine if you complete this mission. If you fail, however, she will be anything but."
"No!" Zane shouted, but it was too late, Boris was no longer on the other end.
Zane stood frozen in shock, still clutching the phone, the dial tone sounding in his ear. Finally, Zane pulled himself together and put the phone back in its place. He sighed sadly.
"Oh, Yuka…"
222222222222222222222222222
Hours later, in the dark of night, Kai was sitting in the kitchen, watching the clock tick away the time slowly, waiting patiently. Soon, he heard a car pull up in front of the house and then drive off moments later. Kai listened as he heard the key turn in the lock before the door opened and a quiet pair of footsteps entered the house. Knowing that the person was most probably not going into the kitchen, Kai stood up and walked into the living room.
"Did you get it?" Kai asked.
Kai could just make out a blurry, black outline of a tall figure jumping in surprise.
"Geez Kai! You scared me!"
"Sorry Mr (Andrews), did you get it?"
(Aya's) father outstretched his hand, which clutched a plastic bag. "You should find everything you need in here."
Kai accepted the bag. "Thank you."
"No worries, so when is (Aya) going to know?"
"It'll be a surprise for her."
"Ah, I see. Well, we'll just have to talk about it more in the morning then. Goodnight Kai."
"Goodnight Mr (Andrews)."
222222222222222222222222222222222
"Morning Dad!" (Aya) chirped happily as she entered the kitchen.
"Good morning pumpkin!"
(Aya) rolled her eyes at her dad's nickname for her.
"Where's Kai?"
"I don't think he's up yet."
"Oh…ok." (Aya) said slowly as she sat down.
'Hmm, funny, usually Kai's always awake before me.'
"So, what classes do you have today?"
"Huh? Oh! Uh…I think it's…Metalwork, Cooking, Computer Studies and P.E Theory. Heh, fun, fun, fun!" (Aya) said her last sentence in a sarcastic manner.
"Sure sounds like it."
(Aya) rolled her (hazel) eyes as she scooped up some cereal.
"So, did anything bad happen while I was away?"
(Aya) swallowed her mouthful of cereal before thinking about how to answer her father's question.
"Well, I lost Holocaust."
"What do you mean by "lost" exactly?"
"I was bey-battling a kid and I lost. Holocaust left my blade."
"Ah, I see…I hope you can get her back soon."
"Yeah, so do I." (Aya) muttered under her breath.
After that, breakfast between father and daughter remained silent. (Aya) swallowed the last of her cereal before putting her bowl and spoon in the dishwasher and slinging her messengers bag onto her shoulder.
"Bye Dad, I'll see you when I get home." (Aya) said, quickly pecking her dad's cheek.
"Bye (Aya). And for the love of God, please be good!"
"Sure Dad, bye!"
(Aya's) dad listened as the sound of (Aya) shutting the front door was made. He waited for a few moments before standing up and walking upstairs. He softly knocked on a closed door.
"Kai, she's gone, you can come out now."
2222222222222222222222222
(Aya) sighed as she propped her elbow up on the table and cradled the side of her face in her hand. Metalwork wasn't her favourite subject of all time, but she especially despised it when she had theory, which of course, just had to be today. (Aya) covered up her yawn as her gruff teacher, Mr Hardie, lectured the class about the importance of O,H & S, Occupational Health and Safety. Mr Hardie was interrupted by a knock on the door and halted his speech to step outside and talk to whom ever it was.
(Aya) sighed as she glanced back down at her desk, tracing the overlapping graffiti on her desk. Mr Hardie stepped back into the classroom.
"Alright, quiet down you lot! Duncan! Brady! Another word outta you two boys and I'll see to it that you get theory work for the rest of the year!"
The class shut up straight away and Mr Hardie cleared his throat before continuing to speak.
"Class, we have a new student joining us- "
"Aw, what! Not another one!"
"Shut yer trap Nathan, and keep it shut! Now, as I was saying, we have a new student joining up this year, he- c'mon mate! You can come in you know, these kids may look scary, but they won't bite you!"
(Aya) looked up to watch the new kid enter the room. And her eyes bulged, her mouth popped open, as she saw Kai walk into the room. (Aya) pinched herself then winced. She was definitely not dreaming. Kai was standing in her classroom, decked out in the boys school uniform, Volcom Stone backpack, his sneakers and his trademark blue triangles.
"Class, this is Kai Hiwatari, do yer best to make him welcome. Take a seat wherever Kai."
Kai's dark eyes scanned the room, and he smiled when he saw (Aya), looking absolutely dumbfounded. As Kai past Zane, he saw the duo-coloured eyes glaring coldly at him. Kai smirked triumphantly as he continued to walk by Zane.
"Hi." Kai said quietly as he sat down next to (Aya), who still had her mouth hanging open.
(Aya) finally managed to close her mouth. "Hey, what are you doing here?" (Aya) whispered as Mr Hardie continued to talk.
"What's the matter? Unhappy to see me?"
"No! No, no, no, I'm glad that you're here, but how? Why?" (Aya) whispered.
"While you were watching whatever last night, I asked you dad if I could enrole into your school, I said that it was boring staying at home all day with no one to talk to. Your dad agreed and got the things I would need on his way home, then drove me here in the morning and got me enrolled."
"And here you are." (Aya) finished for him.
"Yeah." Kai replied with a small smile.
(Aya) grinned back in reply.
While the class filled out the worksheets they were given, (Aya's) ankle slowly wrapped around Kai's. Kai felt this and looked up at (Aya). (Aya) felt Kai's gaze on her and looked up before grinning at him, then returned to her work. A tiny smile tugged at the corners of Kai's mouth, before he too returned to the work.
222222222222222222222222222222
At recess, Kai and (Aya) sat under a shady tree, after enduring a lecture from their cooking teacher for having a flour fight with each other. (Aya) looked at Kai and saw his hand stretch out towards her.
"What is it?" (Aya) asked, tilting her head back slightly.
Kai smiled slightly. "You've still got some flour on your face."
"Oh."
"Here, I got it."
Kai's fingers rested on the side of (Aya's) neck as he gently brushed his thumb over her cheek. (Aya's) eyes darted down to Kai's thumb then up to his mahogany eyes. She smiled warmly at him. Kai returned the smile before leaning forward and capturing (Aya's) soft lips in a slow, but passionate kiss. (Aya) shivered lightly as she felt tingles run down her spine and through her limbs as she kissed Kai back.
When the kiss was broken off due to lack of air, (Aya) opened her eyes. And she found herself looking into Kai's dark mahogany orbs. (Aya) tilted her head to one side slightly as she continued to study her boyfriend's gaze. There was something different about Kai's eyes. Usually, they would have a hard, cold glare in them. But at the moment, his eyes had softened; the look in them was warm, loving and gentle. Unknown to (Aya), her (hazel) eyes now had a hazy look in them, her mouth curved into a day dreamy smile. An amused spark glinted in Kai's eyes as he tilted his head to the side, mirroring (Aya).
"Tell me, what are you thinking so hard about?"
(Aya) blinked a few times to get herself back into reality mode, then blushed slightly.
"Oh, just you, that's all."
Kai smiled before placing his arm around (Aya's) waist, pulling her close to him. (Aya) smiled as she leaned into Kai, wrapping both her arms around his waist while resting her head on his shoulder. Kai let out a silent, content sigh as he tilted his head to rest on (Aya's).
222222222222222222222222222222
(Aya) sighed as she slouched down in her chair. She was in Computer Studies, and the sound of her teacher's droning voice was putting her to sleep. To make matters worse, Kai wasn't in this class and Zane was. (Aya) looked at the row of desks in front of her. Zane was one computer up from her. (Aya) shuddered and shrunk further down into her seat.
The mere sight of Zane frightened her, there always seemed to be the unanswered question of what he would do next. Just then, Zane's head turned away from the monitor in front of him and his stunning blood red and lavender eyes locked with (Aya's) (hazel) ones. Zane's mouth twitched into an arrogant smirk as he continued to stare at (Aya). Zane's tongue flicked out of his mouth and ran over his upper lip. (Aya) pulled a look of disgust onto her face and looked away from Zane, staring down at the keyboard as she sunk down into her seat even more, her neck coming close to being in line with the table.
Zane was such a sleaze, (Aya) hated him.
2222222222222222222222222222
Kai fought back the urge to yawn as he crossed his arms over his chest and shut his mahogany eyes. He wished that his Multimedia teacher would stop screeching like a banshee and shut up already. The bloody cow was too much to take. Too much make up, too willowy, too high-pitched, too blonde, too everything.
Kai found his thoughts drifting towards the subject of (Aya). Unfortunately, he wasn't in her class, so she was stuck by herself to deal with his cousin. Kai growled under his breath at the thought.
'I swear, if I find out that he's done anything to hurt her, I will not be responsible for my actions!' Kai thought furiously to himself.
2222222222222222222222222222222
(Aya) tapped her foot impatiently. The bell had gone for lunch and she was stuck standing in front of her computer, waiting for her work to save onto the compact disc. The teacher had left for the staffroom, merely telling (Aya) to shut the door after herself as he walked out, probably wanting to start stuffing his gob with food as soon as possible.
"Finally!" (Aya) exclaimed quietly to herself as her work finished saving.
(Aya) removed the disc from its drive, put it in its case, stuffed the case into her bag, logged off her computer and walked out of the computer room, shutting the door behind her.
Suddenly, someone grabbed (Aya) roughly from behind and slammed her back into the door with a harsh force. (Aya) cried out in pain, her eyes watering slightly. (Aya) managed to tilt her head up and found that her attacker was none other than Zane.
A sadistic smirk toyed about the raven-haired boy's lips. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?"
(Aya) growled. "Let go of me, Zane!"
(Aya) struggled against Zane, but he had an iron grip on her wrists that she couldn't break free of. Before (Aya) could kick the bastard, Zane pressed his entire body against (Aya), pinning her against the door, pushing her arms up on the door on either side of her. (Aya) was forced to look into Zane's eyes. Goosebumps rose up on the back of her neck as she saw the cold lust in them.
"Oh no, my pet, letting go of you is the last thing I am going to do. It's time to have some fun."
Before (Aya) could speak, Zane crashed his lips down on hers in a rough, cold, brutal kiss. (Aya) growled and struggled against him, but it was no use, he was too strong. (Aya) winced painfully as Zane pressed his mouth harder against hers. She couldn't escape the unwanted kiss, there was no one around to interrupt.
(Aya) could feel her closed eyes stinging from unshed tears. Zane opened his mouth and slid his rough tongue over (Aya's) lips, demanding an entrance. (Aya) growled angrily under her breath and kept her mouth clamped shut. Zane growled furiously as he slammed his body against (Aya's), causing her to wince.
He then bit down on (Aya's) bottom lip violently, drawing a little blood and causing her to cry out in pain. Zane smirked cruelly as he bolted his tongue in; he had gotten the entrance he wanted. (Aya) shuddered in disgust as Zane's tongue assaulted her mouth. His taste was bitter, cold, and venomous. It was one of the most vulgar tastes (Aya) had been unfortunate enough to come across.
A single tear fell from a corner of (Aya's) closed eye. She wished that the ground would open up and swallow her whole, so she could escape this nightmare-come-alive.
2222222222222222222222222222
Kai growled lowly to himself as he exited his classroom along with a swam of students. The stupid cow of a teacher had kept the class in for detention because that cap-wearing Nathan kid with a big mouth had called her "Staple-face".
'Yeah, well the truth hurts, so the hag has to learn how to live with it!'
Instead of turning left to go downstairs with everyone else, Kai turned right, making his way towards (Aya's) classroom.
'Hopefully she's still there, otherwise we'll be walking all over school searching for each other, wondering where the hell the other is!'
Kai lightly jogged down two flights of stairs then walked across a bridge-like corridor. When Kai turned the corner, one hell of a shocker met his eyes. Zane was using his entire body weight to pin (Aya) against a door and had his tongue down her throat, while a look of pain and fear was etched into (Aya's) face as she struggled, trying to break free from the stronger boy.
Kai's hands balled into tight fists as he gritted his teeth. His eyes set ablaze with rage as his body shook with anger. Kai could feel his blood boiling. Kai ran over to the two, absolutely fuming.
"GET THE FUCK OFF HER, YOU JACKASS BASTARD!" Kai yelled in fury, yanking Zane off (Aya) and smacking him into a brick wall.
(Aya) gasped for breath, before crying out with disgust and spitting, trying to rid her mouth of Zane's taste. (Aya) wiped her mouth on the back of her hand, then wiped the back of her hand on her skirt as she leaned back on the door for support, her legs shaking.
Zane was gasping for air, as Kai had winded him completely by slamming his back into the brick wall. Kai was now holding Zane up by the collar of his shirt, giving him a cold, deathly glare.
"What the hell is your problem! It's not like she's your bloody girlfriend!"
"Actually, yes, she is." Kai spat in an icy tone.
"And if I see you do so much as blink in (Aya's) direction again, I will do a hell lot more than just knock you back on your arse so hard that you'll be in the same spot for 2 weeks wondering what hit you. I'll do a fucking hell lot more, you got that, Zane?"
Zane's only reply was a glare and a growl.
"Hn." Kai sneered, and threw Zane aside, not caring to be gentle.
Zane stumbled on his feet, but soon regained balance. "I don't know why you bother Kai. The whore probably spreads even more than peanut butter!"
That comment made Kai go beyond his snapping point. Kai turned and slammed his fist into Zane's face, knocking him out. Cold. (Aya) gasped at the sight. Kai spun back around and hurried over to her.
"Are you ok?" Kai asked, worry shown in his eyes.
(Aya) managed to nod numbly. "Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you."
Kai let out a relieved breath as he pulled (Aya) close in a warm, comforting hug.
"Come on, let's get away from here." Kai said, taking (Aya's) hand.
(Aya) just nodded and followed, trying to get over her shock. They walked towards the stairs, leaving Zane unconscious on the hard, grey cement.
