Note: THE STORY HIT OVER 5000 HITS!
He Destroyed My Word That Day
Chapter 23
Finally
By: ShadowsOfTheHeart
It has been almost a week since me and Kai where let out of the Hospital. And what a week it has been. When Luce told me that we where going to celebrate Thanksgiving, I was bouncing off walls for days, and not only Thanksgiving but a Newfoundland stile Thanksgiving.
Me and Rei have became very close over the past few days, when I first came home he pulled me into a breath taking hug, wellthat is until Kai gave himthe evil over protective brother eye. But that didn't stop Rei from taking me out for ice cream, to the park, and out for lunch.
Speaking of Kai, ever since the Hospital thing with him and Luce, they tend to, how would you put it, "disappear" for about a hour or so. Kai would always come back first, looking flushed I might add, I really don't what to know what these to are doing. And no one besides me knows about there, well, relationship, well I think it's a relationship any ways. And I have been sworn to secrecy by both of them.
I have been doing the twin thing for the past week and started to dress like Kai, well more like I stole some of his cloths and altered them to fit me. So except for the long hair, breast, curvy body, and lack of face paint, I look like Kai, for the most part anyways.
When ever someone asks why we dress alike Kai just says and I quot "she's just going through a faze she'll get over it soon... I hope."
But what's got me all in a fuss is that, well I did more checking on that nurse called Jen, well it turns out that Dr. Lotter was right. The Hospital doesn't have a woman working there named Jen or anyone with dark blue hair and gray eyes. You think I would be freaking out, right, well there's the thing, I'm not, the woman never gave off any sense of danger, I actually felt safe around her.
"Good morning people!" I stated as I walked into the training room in Tyson Dojo ".HAPPY THANKSGIVING!" I added in a excited tone as I slid across the floor.
"Happy Thanksgiving!" Max and Tyson said, then Tyson thought for a moment and said as he walked over to me "Morning, It's 1 O'clockin the afternoon, where have you been all day?"
"Oh no where important, and why the sudden concern?" I asked as I leaned in with a suspicious look my eyes.
Tyson put his hands put and looked around like a mad man as he said "oh,.. no reason.. eheh.. "
I eye him then shrugged as I walked over to Max who was playing PS2, "You know video gams will rot your mind" I stated sitting next to him.
Max looked up at me and said "Yea, and I suppose it wasn't you who was playing Kingdom hearts for 5 hours straight yesterday?"
I fell over in a anime fall fashion with my lag twitching in the air. "Good After noon everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving" came a cheery voice that could only belong to Hilary, you know to tell the truth she doesn't get on my nervous that much any more, and she doesn't give me the evil eye when ever I talk to Tyson any more.
I sat up and looked at her, she was carrying two large size bags, that I might add, where stuffed with what, I really don't know. "Happy Thanksgiving" we all said at the same time.
"What's in the bags?" I asked getting up and walking over to her. "Hummm?" I added looking at he bags.
She pulled back and gave me a nervous look and said "Akari I didn't think you would be here today"
I raised a eye brow and looked over at Tyson "We'll this dope just asked me where I was all day, am I missing something?" I asked giving her a -don't lie to me- look as I circled around her looking at the bags.
I watch as she sent a quick glare at Tyson and said "Well Rei said that you two where going out today, and that you two where going to meet here"
I stopped circling her and looked over at Tyson who what looked to be sweating. "Oh really?" I asked walking over to Tyson. "I don't recall Rei telling me that" I added giving his a evil look daring him to lie to me.
Tyson back up until he was agents the wall, great now he can't get away. I smirked and just as I was going to pick him put by his caller someone put there hand on my shoulder and spun me around. I was ready to hit them when I saw golden amused eyes "Rei?" I question lowering my fist.
He smiled/smirked at me and said "Trying to get information out of Tyson again?"
I blushed a small bit and crossed my arms "Something fishy is going on here" I stated looking around the room, well mostly at Tyson and Hilary. "And I don't like it" I added giving him a look.
Rei just raised a eye brow but at the same time I swear his eye's where smirking at me. "Oh really? And what makes you say that?" he asked stepping besides me and putting his hand on my lower back. At this point I can feel my face starting to heat up, it always do when Rei touches me... not in that way you sicko's...
"Well" I started as Rei gave me a push cutting me off as he said "How about we take about it over lunch, or in your case breakfast."
I strained as Rei pushed me, now I defiantly know something's up. "Hey... wait... oh com'on.." I wined as Rei pushed me out the door.
Hilary sighed as she heard the front door shut, she then sent a glare over at Tyson. "Baka you almost blew it" she stressed as she walked over to where Max sat on the floor.
"Sorry Hil, I just said what Rei told me to say, take it up with him." Tyson pleased.
"Tyson,..." she stressed "could you help me with these party decorations" Hilary said in a clam sweet voice, as she smiled at him.
Tyson gave her a confused look wasn't she just mad at me? He thought as he walked over to her.
"Is Luce here yet?" Hilary asked handing a banner over to Tyson.
Max smirked as he said "She was here, but she said she left something back at her place and had to go get it."
"And Kai?" Hilary added already knowing the answer.
"He left about 5 minutes after saying he was going for a walk." Max added as his smirk grew wider.
Hilary giggled and mumbled something along the lines of "A secret love, how romantic." Tyson just looked at her like she was crazy, he was the only one who seem not to catch what was going on.
I huffed and crossed my arms, they're up to something, and I'm pretty sure it's going something to do with me.
"So where do you want to eat?" Rei asked giving me a kewl smile as we walked down the street.
"No where, It's Thanksgiving I want to have a empty stomach for supper." I stated with a smile.
Rei gave me a amused look and said "Well how about some ice-cream, I'm sure that won't spoil your supper."
I shrugged then skipped ahead "As long as your paying" I quickly said as I turned around "I'm poor" I added as Rei stepped besides me.
"Ya, so I guess Kai's millions has nothing to do with you?" he stated with a smirk.
I shrugged and said "You know I never really asked" not that I need it I thought smirking to myself.
Hillary huffed as she walked over to Max and hit him over the head, then quickly grabbing the PS2 controller out of his hands. "You can at least help." she hissed as Max rubbed his head and glared at her.
"Okay, Okay, gees, don't get all abusive on me." Max mumbled as he got up off the floor just as Luce walked in.
"What's going on?" she asked with a smile as she place two brown bags on the table.
Hillary and max looked at her and gave her a slight smirk. "Oh nothing, Max here is just lazin around, so where have you been? Tyson said you left something back at your house but that was like 2 hours ago, and you haven't even started cooking yet." Hilary said as she walked over to Luce with a mischief smile.
Luce looked around nervously and said "Well it's a long story, and we really don't have any time for meaningless stories so I'll go start supper, okay..." Hilary gave her a amused look and opened her mouth to say something but Luce quickly cut in and said "Okay, good" and with that she took the brown paper bags and ran into the kitchen.
"Should we be getting back?" Akari asked Rei as he handed her yet another ice-cream.
Rei looked at his watch, it was 3:00, he had to keep Akari busy for another 2 hours Luce would kill him if they came back early. Rei glance up at Akari who was happily licking her ice-cream. Now how can I keep her busy for another 2 hours he thought as a image of him and Akari alone, in his room, in a most interesting position, flashed in is head. Rei quickly shook his head Bad Rei, if that's all you can think of then...
"Rei?" Akari asked tapping Rei on the shoulder.
Rei snapped out of his thoughts and blushed lightly as Akari gave him a confused look. "Rei are you okay?" she asked putting her hand on his forehead.
Rei blushed even harder and took her hand down, Akari blushed when he didn't let go. Akari gazed into his eyes and slowly the space between them started to get smaller and just when Rei's was going to place his soft lips on hers he pulled away "I'm fine, just a little warm." he answered taking his ice-cream from the sales man.
Akari stood there shocked and confused just a little warm! She stressed in her head as her face went red from anger "Well that ice-cream will cool you down" Akari stated in a angry tone as she turned and walked out the door.
"Smooth move" the sales man said as he leaned over the counter.
Rei mentally kicked him self and said "I know, what the hell is wrong with me?" the question was more directed at himself then to anyone else.
"Dude, go and apologize to her, then take her somewhere, you know, romantic" the sales man said in a surfer kind of voice.
Rei just looked at him and blinked, apologize? He wondered as Akari popped her head back in the door and stressed in a annoyed voice "You coming or not, because I'm not going to be waiting around forever."
"Sorry, I'll be right there" he stated as Akari rolled her eyes and went back outside.
"Dude you seriously need to do as your told." The sales man said as he turned to the cash. Rei looked at him confused then shook his head.
"Tyson don't you think about touching that turkey!" Luce stressed as she grabbed Tyson by his caller and lifted him off the floor just as he was going to take a nibble at the golden brown turkey that was sitting on the kitchen counter.
"I wasn't!" Tyson stressed in a pleading voice "I was checking to make sure it. ummm.. You know... passed the Tyson tast test." he added waving his arms around his head.
Luce's right eye twitched as she tighten her grip on his caller "Tyson tast test!" she stressed with fire in her eyes "I'll show you a Tyson tast test!" she added as she swung Tyson around and left him go, causing him to go flying out through the kitchen window.
Luce took deep breaths, then suddenly her mood changed and she flicked her long ponytail over her shoulder and yelled out in a kind voice"Hilary can you help me with desert!'
In the door way of the kitchen stood Kai and Max, Kai had a amused look in his eye and Max had a shocked anim expression on his face.
"Hai!" Hilary sang bouncing into the room pushing passed Max and Kai as she went.
"Should we go see if Tyson's okay?" Max whispered Kai with the same expression on his cute face.
"If you ask me Tyson got what he deserved" Kai answered shooting Luce a amused look
Max shook his head and said "True, but I don't want to face Hilary if Luce killed him or anything like that"
Kai thought for a moment then looked at Max "good point" he said as he turned from the kitchen door, with Max in tough.
That stupid, stupid, stupid, dummy... I can't believe he pulled away just when he was going to kiss me. I stressed in my head as me and Rei walked down the rode in silence. I mean come-on, is he playing some kind of game with me, I thought as a pressure point came out on my head I can understand the first time, considering we got attack and all, but in the ice-cream shop there was no gun shots, no men in black trying to kill me, so like.. WHAT THE HELL!.. I screamed in my head as more pressure points came out on my head and in a the process I ended up stomping my foot. I stressed in my head as me and Rei walked down the rode in silence.I thought as a pressure point came out on my headI screamed in my head as more pressure points came out on my head and in a the process I ended up stomping my foot.
"Akari are you alright?" Came Rei's voice, breaking me out of my thoughts.
I blushed when I realized I must looked like a total fool, I looked around and sure enough people were giving me looks like I had lost my mind. I blushed even harder and glanced at Rei who was giving my a amused and concerned look.
I turned my head away from him and crossed my arms "I'm fine" I stated as a evil idea struck me. It's pay back time.
I turned to Rei and looked him in the eyes, I smiled and started to move my face closer to his, Rei's amused concern eyes soon changed to shocked but then changed to warm as he moved his face closer to mine, and just when our lips where going to meet I stopped and said "Just a little warm" and walked away.
I got a few paces and stopped I turned my head back to see a utterly confused and shock Rei standing there with a utterly red face. "You coming, or are you going to stand there all day?" I asked in a amused concern voice snapping Rei's out of his thoughts.
He gave me a glare that soon turned to a amused smile as he caught up to me "So we're even?" he asked putting his arm around my shoulders. A light blush creep across my face as I said "what ever" and turned my head away, but I glace back and gave Rei a real smile.
"What time is it?" Hilary asked as she turned off the oven timer and check on the cake she was baking.
"3:30" Luce answered as she put the finishing touches on her cheese cake.
Tyson was out in the training room recovering from his wounds, you see while Luce and Hilary where making the desert, Tyson tried to steel a cookie pie that was cooling in the window cill, but he was attacked by none other then... Hilary... she and Luce made that cookie pie especially for Akari and Rei. It was kind of a match making plan, since the dish is both their upmost favorite.
No less then 5 minutes after his fatal beating from Hilary did Tyson tried yet agin to take a nibble at the golden brown turkey, but when he was just about to take a bit he was caught again by Luce who again through him out the broken window.
This went on for about a half hour, Tyson would try and steel some food, but as victory was in sight, Luce or Hilary sometimes both would hurt him in ways her never thought possible, that is until Max and Kai, who by this time was fed up with Tyson tackiest, locked him in the training room, with Max and Kai as guards, they couldn't risk the chance that Tyson would rip down some of the decorations in a attempt to escape.
"Hello everyone" came a cheery voice from the front porch, Hilary smile as she ran out of the kitchen to great their guest, well more like guests.
"Hey Emily, Michael, Eddy, Rick, Tala, Bryan, and Spencer. Tanks for coming" Hilary greeted with a warm smile.
"No problem, I can't wait to see Akari," Emily stated in a excited voice "I was so mad when I had to go back to America for the last week and a half." she added her tone changing to angry as she shifted the large gift bad she was holding.
"Well don't just stand there come in and help!" Luce called from the kitchen.
Hilary gave a nervous smile "Oh don't mind her, she in s rush to gets things done" she said as she turned her head to the kitchen "but IF SOMEONE HADN'T DISAPPEARED FOR 2 HOURS THIS MORNING WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO RUSH!" Hilary added in a loud voice with a smirk plastered on her face.
"SHUT IT HILLARY!" Luce yelled back as a frying pan came playing past her head and hitting the door.
Tala and Spencer just all at where the frying pan hit, then looked at each other, then they looked at the kitchen door. "She's a bit moody today" Hilary cut in with a smile "Now take off your shoos we got lots of work to do" she added turning around with a hand motion.
I sat in a swing in the park, Rei sat in the one next to me, since out little incident we haven't said much to each other. I didn't really know what to say, I want to tell him that I like him, a lot. But every time I try I always changed the subject. I wish this whole affection thing was more easer.
"Akari?" Rei asked breaking me from my thoughts.
I turned my head to him as the swing squeaked "Yes?" I answered pushing my lags out making my swing go a tad bit higher but not to high.
"I... I..." He started as his face started to go red, I slowed down on the swing and it soon came to a stop.
"I...well.. I ..." He stumbled as his face went redder, as did mine, my heart also started to go faster, I swear he can hear it.
"I..lov" "Can I use that swing Akari?" came a child's voice cutting Rei off, I sighed in annoyance and looked at the kid, it was Sakura. Her blue eyes beaming at me, her blond hair in two pig tails, and her whit dress made her look like a little angel.
I smiled at her my annoyance disappearing as I saw her face. "Sure thing sweety:" I answered getting out of the swing.
"Thank you" she squalled as she hugged my lags. "Let me help you" I offered as I picked her up and placed her in the swing. "We don't want you to get that pretty dress dirty" I added with a smile, and that's when I noticed what was in her hand, it was the stuffed white tiger I gave her at the festable.
I smiled and said "I see you still have the stuffed animal I gave you"
She gave me a big sweet smile that only a child voice give and said "yup, I named her after you, Akari-aneue" I smiled and was touched that she called me older sister, then another voice filled my ears "There you are Sakura" it was a older woman's voice.
I stood up and turned around and walking towards us was a woman with long wavy blond hair and blue eyes that sparkled in the fall sunlight. She was wearing a whit dress with a brown jacket over it. She was beautiful, there was no dough in my mind that this woman was Sakura's mother.
"Mamma" Sakura called as if confirming my thoughts.
The woman smiled as she approached me "It was very kind of you to let Sakura us the swing you where in" she said in a very genital kind voice that seem familiar to me.
"It was no trouble at all" I answered as a light blush came across my face.
"Mamma, this is Akari" Sakura called from the swing "She was the one who gave me the stuffed tiger, and got Sotoe to teach me how to beyblade" she added in a sweet innocent voice.
"Is that so" the woman with a light smile as she looked me over.
I gave a nervous smile and said "Yea, well.. She asked and I just can't turn down kids... umm... Oh god.. You're not mad are you?"
The woman's slight smile turned into a full smile then she started to laugh "Mad, don't be silly, I would like to thank you, I could never get those two to get long, you see Sotoe is from my first marriage, and he got jealous when I had Sakura. He never let her play with him, or his friends, but whatever you said to him really brought those together." She then gave me a warm smile, the ones only a mother can give as she then bent down and gave me a soft kind kiss on the cheek, my eye's widen, as she pulled back and said "Arigato"
Another light blush came across my cheeks as I put my hand on my cheek where she just kissed me, it felt like a mothers kiss, and it trigger a lost memory of my mother doing the same. I took my hand down and gave her warm smile. "Your welcome"
She again smiled at me, then walked passed me to her child and said "would like me to push you?"
"Yes mamma" Sakura answered in a cheery voice. I turned around and saw a amazing seen, Sakura's mother gently put her hands on her daughters back and gave her a small push, Sakura laugh as she went forward.
A genital hand was then place on my shoulder, I turned my head back and saw Rei who was giving my a warm smile, as if very proud of what just happened.
"Finally everything is done" Luce stated as she flopped down on the couch.
"With 20 minutes to spear" Hilary commented as she too flopped down next to her.
"Well then shouldn't we call Rei and get Akari back here?" Spencer stated walking into the room.
"No, I want to rest first" Luce stated sitting up and looking around the room, her eye's briefly meeting Kai's.
"Oh no you don't" Hilary and Emily said at the same time as they took Luce by the shoulders and lifted her up off the couch. "You going to get ready for the party" Hilary stated as she looked around the room "and so are all of you, dress nice." she added as she and Emily dragged Luce out of the room and down the hall.
"So just how was Luce going to relax?" Max asked Kai.
Kai shot Max a glare and walked out the room, leaving Max laughing.
Rei looked at his watch it was 20 to 5, and they where about a 20 minute walk from Tyson's dojo. Time to head back Rei thought as he glance over at Akari who was looking at a navy blue dress with two slits up the sides and a corset stile top in the window.
Just as he was going to ask her if she liked the dress his cell phone rang. He swore at the phone as pulled it out of his pocket "Hello?" he hissed.
"Rei, it's Hilary, listen get Akari in something nice, your fine in what your wearing, just get Akari into a dress or some girl cloths, I don't want her showing up looking like Kai got it"
Rei sighed and said "sure" then clicked off his phone and put it back into his pocket.
Akari was deaf to his convo with Hilary , she was to engrossed with the dress, she loved dressed that are made for dancing, they where sexy, and easy to move in.
"You like the dress?" Rei asked stepping besides her.
"Hummm." she answered looking up at him.
"You like the dress?" he asked again trying to hid his annoyance.
"Sure do" Akari answered "Man I wish I was still dancing" she mumbled to herself looking back at the dress.
Dancing? Rei wondered that's right at the ball that guy announcer her as the world wide dancing champion he thought as Akari sighed still looking at the dress. -get Akari into something nice- Hilary's voice raced through his head.
"Why don't you get it?" Rei asked with a smile.
Akari looked at him with a rased eye brow "What? Do you not recall that I don't wear dresses" she stated in a cool voice with her hand on her chin.
"Well if I recall correctly you said and I quote 'Man I wish I was still dancing'" Rei through back with a smirk.
Akari blushed and put her hand behind her head "Did I say that out loud?" she asked already knowing the answer. Rei nodded his head and took Akari's hand "Go try it on" he ordered as he pushed her through the shop door.
"But I couldn't" she protested as she entered the shop, and soon as she entered – cough- pushed–cough.. A sales lady walked over to her and said with a smile "can I help you?"
Rei gave her a smile and said "Yes my friend here would like to try on the dress that is in display window."
The woman smiled the looked at Akari "That dress is a Jojo Clavens (I made that up, I'm really not into fashion, the most I can do Is match colors.) it's very expansive." she said in a -you-don't look-rich-so-go-somewhere-else voice.
This as you my have guessed got Akari rather irritate, "I would like to try it on, size 6 please, no wait size 7, got to put the boob factor in there" she said in a cocky voice.
Rei blush at her last comment, she really doesn't think before she speaks sometimes. Rei thought as the sales woman went to the back to get the dress.
"Damn woman, doesn't think I'm good enough for that dress, I'll show her." Akair mumbled as she looked around the shop. And soon found what she was looking for, a evil smirk came across her far as she whispered to Rei. "When I come out of the dressing room say my full name"
Rei gave her a confused look as to say why? Akari pointed to a poster on the left wall over a rack of dresses styled for dancing. To Rei's surprise he say a woman that looked like Akari in a very interesting number, dancing with some guy in a suit. Rei looked back at her with a slight smile and said "Who's the guy"
Akari shrugged and said "Luce's cous, I needed a dance partner so Luce asked him for me. He's really nice"
Really nice? Repeated in his head as he gave the man in the poster a look.
"So is his wife." Akari added as the sales lady came out with the dress.
Wife, Rei your a idiot. Rei thought as the lady lead Akair over to the dressing room.
Akari stepped into the room and put on the dress, it fit her like a glove, she twirled around and the two slits flared out , she stopped and smiled.
"I'm coming out now" Akari called as she opened the change room door, she slowly stepped out with a smile on her pretty face.
Rei couldn't help but stair, the dress fit every curve, and made her look like a modal. "So what do you think?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"Akari Hiwatari you look beautiful" Rei said in a loud yet warm voice that made Akari blush.
The sales lady caught Akari's name a gasped when she looked at Akari then at the poster on the wall, right at that moment she felt like kicking her self, she almost turned away the one of the world best dancers form her shop.
"What do you think?" Akari asked the sales lady who was a little red for not realizing who Akari was.
"You look wonderful Miss Hiwatari" the sales lady said with a smile.
"You think so, it doesn't make me look fat at all?" Akari said with a evil tine in her voice.
"Not at all Miss Hiwatari, it really suits you" The lady said with a nervous smile,
"What do you think Rei?" Akari asked as she did a little turn causing the slits to filar out.
"Rei, as in Rei Kon from the BeyBreakers?" Another sales lady said as appeared out of no where.
"Yes that would be me" Rei said with a amused smile.
"OMG... I'm like big beyblading fan ever, Kai is my favorite, I just love is tought guy look, oh I think your great took. I was at the torment two weeks ago, I was amazed when a girl showed up looking like Kai and it turned out that she's Kai's twin." The girl ranted on with stars in her eyes.
-cough-cough- The girl turned to Akari and let out a squealed and ran over to her "Your her, Kai's twin, OMG, you look beautiful in that dress, you where so amazing in the torment. So what's Kai's favorite color, food, cloths, band, and is he single?" Akari had a sweat drop on her head, this girl was crazy.
"Dark blues and black, don't know, wear's what he wants, don't know, and taken" Akari answered with a smirk on her face.
"He's taken, bummer, thought so, damn now I own my boyfriend 20 bucks" she mumbled with her hand to her chin. Again Akari sweat dropped
Kai sneezed the rubbed his nose as he sneezed again.
"Oh, someone is talking about you" Max stated in a taunting voice as he poked Kai on the shoulder.
Kai glared at him and dread him to take more on the subject. Max quickly back away as Luce walked into the room. She was dressed in a black over one shoulder dress that came to her knees, on the front was the Japanese symbol for fox, that was in pink. Her hair was in a low ponytail that came just passed her butt. For makeup she had on black eyeliner, and mascara, and light pink lip gloss. She looked like a model.
"Who's talking about who?" she asked taking a seat on the couch and crossing her lags.
Every guy in the room where just looking at her, mouths opened, and big eyed. Luce blinked the a pressure point popped out on her head as she stressed in a deadly voice "I would advise you all to stop looking at me like that or you're all going to meet a very painful death!"
Not taking any chances everyone shut their mouths, coughed, and pretended like nothing had happened. "Now, who's talking about who?" she asked again in a annoyed voice.
Max gave her a sly smile and said "Kai sneezed twice, and I said that someone must be talking about him, it was just before you came in."
Luce shot him a glare at when he was implying. Max put his hands up in deface and said "I'm going to check on the food, Tyson has been gone for more then 2 minutes"
In truth Tyson was in his room with Hilary, Hilary had called him in to help her with her dress.
"What time is it?" Luce asked adjusting her dress.
"5 after 5, they're late" Kai stated looking out the window "I'm going to go look for them" he added in a protective brother voice.
Luce sighed and said "Don't worry so much, Rei will keep her safe"
Kai shot her a glare and said "That's not what I'm worried about"
Tala smirked at Kai's comment and said "She isn't a little girl Hiwatari"
"Yea Kai, She's a big girl now" Spencer teased adding more flew to the fire that Tala created.
Kai glared at them and hissed in a deadly voice "If you want to live I would advise you to shut your mouths, or I'll sew them shut."
"It's Rei, he won't do anything" Max stated walking back into the room.
Kai sighed and said "Fine 10 minutes then I'm going looking for them."
Akari walked out of the shop wearing the dress, Rei had insisted that she wear it. Why? She didn't know.
"So you said back there that Kai was taken, what did you mean by that?" Rei asked already knowing the answer, anyone who didn't noticed Luce's and Kai's strange disappearances had do be a real block head.
Akari's 2 inch heals clicked on the sidewalk as she looked at Rei with a nervous smile. "Well.. umm... Oh come-on, you can't tell me you didn't notice the way Luce and Kai have been acting for the past week?" Okay I didn't straight out tell him, I'm just stated what everyone else knows, so that's not braking a promise right? She thought as Rei gave her a amused smile.
"Luce and Kai, huh, it is true." Rei answered with a smirk as he put his head to his chin.
Akari stopped just as they reached the gate to Tyson's walk way. "You can't tell them I said anything, they are, well you know them.." Akari trailed off as she looked down and twirled her fingers around each other.
Rei gave her a amused smiled and put his hand under him chin and lifted her head up so he could see her beautiful face. A blush crept across Akari face as her ruby-gray eyes looked into Rei golden cat like eyes that sparked in the setting autumn sun light. Slowly the space between them started to get smaller, the setting, the mood , the atmostfear was perfect for a first kiss. Akari titled her head as Rei's lips where just going to touch her's when "What are you two doing?'
Akari pushed Rei back knocking him to the ground and quickly turned around she knew that voice all to well "Nothing Kai" she quickly said
Rei got up and gave Kai a annoyed look and said "We just got back, do you like Akari dress"
Kai looked Akari up and down, "It's nice" he cooly said "lets get inside Luce what's to talk to you Akari" he added waving to them to follow as he walked down the stone walk way
Akari sighed and whispered to Rei as they followed Kai "Sorry I pushed you"
Rei smiled at her and said "Don't worry about it, I'm sorry we got interrupted"
Akari blushed and looked away as they came to Tyson's front door. Kai stopped and glaceed back at Rei and Akari, he slightly smiled at the two maybe I shouldn't have interrupted them he thought as he opened the door.
They stepped in and it was dark, Kai lead them down the hall and into the training room, the lights where off and the curtains where closed, the room was covered in darkness.
"Why's it so dark?" Akari wondered as she turned on the light, as she did she almost fell over in shock when a whole bunch of people jumped up and yelled "SURPRISE! WELCOME HOME!"
There was streamers on the ceiling, and a big banner than said Welcome home Akari and Kai, Akari raised a eye brown at this and looked at Kai "How come he knew?" she said in a child like voice, making everyone else sweat drop.
"It's Kai he knows everything" Emily stated with a smile.
Akari ran over to her and gave her a hug and yelled "EMILY WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!"
"Today, I was so worried about you" Emily said as a tear ran down her face.
"Don't cry" Akari said as she pulled back "It's a happy time" she added with a smile.
Emily just gave her a look like she was crazy, she then shook it off and said "I love your dress, where did you get it?"
Akari beamed and said "Some shot down the rode, had fun freaking out the seal ladies." Again everyone sweat dropped.
"So can we eat now?" Tyson asked looking around the room as all eyes turned to him "Oh, come-on, Akari and Rei are here now, so lets eat." he added with a smile.
"Sounds good to me, I haven't eaten anything all day." Akari added following Tyson into the kitchen.
Supper went great, everyone loved the food, and now it was time for desert.
Luce came out with a cookie pie and placed it between Akari and Rei, stars appeared in Akair's eyes as she looked upon the cookie pie. "For me?" she stated in a shocked sweat voice as she picked up a knife to cut out a piece.
"For you and Rei, I understand that it's both your favorite." Hilary stated with a smile as she put a piece of cake in front of Tyson.
Akari looked at Rei and said in a amused shocked voice "You like this sugar packed pie as well?"
Rei put his hand behind his head and said "Yes, but I don't eat it that often, so when I do, it's a real treat."
Akari cut out a piece for her and put it on her place as she said "Same here, Luce won't let me have more then once a year" she cut out another pace "She's says that if I eat it everyday I'll get fat" she finished putting the pie on Rei's plate.
"My mother told me that it would rot out my teeth" Rei said with a laugh as he took a bight of his pie.
Akari gave him a smile a took a bight of her pie, everyone else at the table was just looking at the two was amused looks on their faces.
"PARTY!" Tyson shouted as he blasted the music in the training room, and busted out the beer and coolers.
Soon everyone was dancing and having a good time, Akari was laughing with Hilary and Emily, Luce and Kai had disappeared again, Max and Rei where arm weaseling, Tyson was the ref, Tala, Bryan, and Spencer where playing a drinking game, and Eddy and Michael where having their own dancing competition.
"So Akari what's on the go between you and Rei?" Hilary asked with a sly grin on her face, her cheeks where a little colored from the coolers.
Akari blushed and said as she put her hands up in defiance "Nothing, we're just friends" I wish we where more though she thought to herself as she looked over at Rei who jump up and pointing to Max as he yelled "YES STILL THE CHAMP!"
"Oh right, and Kai and Luce don't sneak off, to do god knows what." Emily butted in, her cheeks also a little colored from the coolers.
"It's true, I swear, me and Rei are just friends, whenever it seems like it might move on to something more, someone, or something always gets in the way" Akari blurted out in a annoyed voice as she took a swig of her cooler.
"Well then we're just going to have to fix that" Hilary said in a evil voice as she stumbled over to Tyson. Akari gave her a scared look, not knowing what the half-cut Hilary would do.
"Don't worry" Emily stated glancing passed Akari over to Max. "The same thing happen to me" she added with a sigh.
Akari raised a eye brow and said "Rally? You mean that you and Max are still friends?"
Emily sighed again "Yea, I thought that at the ball we would hook up, but then the whole kidnaping thing happened, and then going off to Russia to save you and Kai, then I had to go back to America for the last week and a half, We didn't really get the time to take things to the next level." she took a swig of her cooler and leaned agents the wall. "So what do you think Hilary is going to do?" Emily asked giving Akari a sly grin.
A scared look came across Akari's face as she glance over and saw our half-cut Hilary talking to Rei, who was blushing like a madman. "I hope to god she isn't saying to him what I think she's saying to him" Akari mumbled in a scared voice as Rei shoot his head and Hilary stumbled over to the sound system.
"Maybe not" Emily stated pushing herself off the wall and watch as Hilary fiddled with the music, and somehow ended up with a mic in her hands. "Goood eving, I wouldd, likeee, to dead...dedicate dis song to, Akari and Rei, pleasss danceee forrr usss." Akari put her head down in her hands as she shook her head at her friends embarrassing display as Hitomi Shimatani - Angelus, came blasting out of the sound system.
"Oh God!" Akari stated snapping her head up just to see Rei with his hand held out for her to take it.
Akari looked at his hand then at him, "Ouf.." Akari breathed out as Emily elbowed her in the ribs. Akari took Rei's hand and let him lead her to the middle of the room, and like on que their friends made a space for the dancers..
Akari didn't even need to say anything when Rei quickly spun her then pulled her into him, Akari smirked and pushed Rei back and quickly mover her feet as she danced around him. Rei quickly grabbed her hand and spun her then her pulled on her arm making her to a series of spins as Rei moved his arm around as she did so. The as the song came to a end Rei pushed Akari out, and following the beat, and the rythem of the song, Akari twirled back, and just like at the ball she wrapped her right lag about Rei waist, with the beat of the music he dipped Akari down and with the last beat he quickly puled Akari up just inches from his face ending the fast past song.
The room was quit, the only thing that could be heard was the deeps breaths of Akari and Rei. As that time Luce and Kai walked into the room, both stopping with seeing their best friends, and sister, in a interesting position.
Kai opened his mouth to say something when Luce quickly jabbed him in the rips and giving him a glare that read if-you-stop-this-your-in-for-it. Kai just crossed his arms and looked at the two, and as their faces started to get closer a light smirk came on his face.
Akari's heart was beating fast, and her face had the light tint of red to it, Rei was in the same boat as he moved his lips closer to Akari's, his was going to make sure nothing interrupts them this time. The when there was just about a inch of space left, Rei quickly crashed his lips into Akari's pulling her into a strong yet soft passionate kiss. Akair' didn't protest instead she put a hand through his hair and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss.
After it seem like forever the room erupted into cheers from their friends. Akari smiled and pulled way with her lag and arms still around Rei.
"About time!" Max stressed in a happy voice as he put his arm around Emily as he gave her a warm smile.
Akari and Rei looked at each other and burst out laughing as the same time Rei pick Akari up bridal stile and spun her around both laughing as he did so.
The night went on with laughter, song, and dancing. Gams where played, secretes where let out, and secrete lovers just look upon with a smile as their sister was surrounded by a warm circle of friends, and was for the first time, truly love by someone. And for the first time the twins found a home that they know will never be taken away from them anymore.
"We're home Kai, We're home." Akari said as she leaned on her brothers shoulder as they watch their friends dance and sing.
