Sorry for the LATE LATE LATE LATE update. But I FINALLY got it. Enjoy )

Chapter 19: Lost in Your Embrace

'I think I need to have a little chat with him.' Miko said thoughtfully.

'Who?' Tala asked, confused.

'Kai.'

'Why?

'What do you mean why?' Miko raised her eyebrows, 'so Deseara doesn't end up getting fucked.'

'Are you saying I can't take care of myself?' a voice said accusingly.

Miko turned to look at her friend, smirking. 'No. It's always good to take precautions.'

'Why do I get myself into these things?' Deseara sighed, sitting down onto miko's seat.

'Okay people, settle down and go to your seats!' ms. Kohna barked, entering the room. 'Kiwatashi, Mr. Valkov's lap is not a seat. Don't make me give you detention, again. And speaking of detentions, miss Madina I expect to see you and Mr. Hiwatari today after school.'

'What! Why!'

'Because you have detention, obviously.'

'Yeah but, Mr. Foura was the one who gave it to me. Why does it have anything to do with you?' Deseara said.

'Unfortunately, Mr Foura has a meeting with the school board today and he has asked me to take over.' The teacher said smugly, 'I will expect no less, if not more.'

'Stupid bitch.' Deseara grumbled. 'My day cannot get any worse than this.'

'Now class,' she continued, 'today you will start your projects today; I will be assigning your partners. I expect a detailed 4-page essay and a working model on your chosen topic.'

'Spoken a little too soon, De.' Miko said, amused, as her friend dropped her head onto the desk, grumbling under her breath.

'Miss kiwatashi.'

'Yes ma'am…'

'Please try and listen when I talk to you. Go sit with your partner.' She pointed to the other side of the room. Miko smiled in relief when she saw Enrique. She started to make her way towards him, until ms. Kohna grabbed her arm.

'No no no.' she said and steered the girl to the person behind the blonde. Her mouth dropped open when she saw who it was.

'No way!'

'Surprise surprise.' Bryan drawled, smirking.

'Shut up dipshit.' She growled, crossing her arms and sitting down. She then proceeded to ignore the boy while scanning the room for her friends. She spotted Misha, who was waving at her. She started to wave back but stopped…sitting next to her was none other than Kai.

'Oh shit.'

'Oh shit is right.' Deseara said, coming up to her with Tyson at her side. 'First me, and now her.'

'Miko I don't wanna be that asshole's partner.' Misha groaned.

'Miko I don't want her to be that asshole's partner!' Max whined, 'do something!'

'What can I do? It's not like I can tear him apart and throw the pieces to the dogs. Yes, in my imagination, but unfortunately, it doesn't work in this school.'

'Violent.' Tyson shuddered.

'Aw, it's okay, Ty. Here, have a celery.' Miko smirked.

'Eww celery is gross.'

'Hear hear!'

'Miko what are we going to do?' Deseara asked, pointing to herself and at misha across the table.

'Okay okay ill go talk to the guy.' With that, she got up and walked out of the cafeteria.

'Man, I can't wait 'till Friday.' Johnny said, leaning against the tree, 'girls in bikinis in the morning and girls in short skirts and tank tops in the afternoon. I can just picture it.'

'Is someone getting frustrated with not getting laid?' Bryan smirked.

'No! Hey! I get laid!'

'Yeah sure, since last millennium.'

'Shut up, bitch.'

'At least I'm not as much of a bitch as you.'

Meanwhile, on the other side of the tree, Kai sprawled on the grass with Sarah under him, engrossed in a battle with their tongues.

'So why aren't you with you're little girlfriend, Tala?' Ozuma asked, taking another drag from the cigarette between his fingers.

'Why do you care?'

'Just wondering.'

'So got any plans for the party?' Kane asked.

'Except fucking the shit out of some random hot girl? Nah.' Johnny answered.

'I second that.' Ozuma nodded.

'I've only got one hot girl in on my list that night.' Ray said, smirking. 'And that's Misha.'

'Dude, her boyfriends going.'

'So?'

'Oh come on, just leave her alone.' Tala said.

'Man, it's okay that you're already defending your girlfriend, don't start defending her friends too, we'll never get any.'

'That's the point. Don't you think we've been pestering them for a little too long?'

'psh no.'

'Well-'

'Hey, guys!'

'Oh. Hi Miko…'

'Okay, I'm gunna get straight to the point, where's kai?'

Ozuma nodded to the other side of the tree. She glanced at the bodies lying there. 'Ugh.'

Sighing, she walked up to the twosome and crossed her arms. 'Ahem.'

They separated and Sarah glared when she found out whom it was that interrupted.

'What the hell do you want?'

'Not you that's for sure.'

'Bitch.'

'As I've mentioned before, it's really getting old, Sarah.'

'Cut the stalling, babe. What did u come here for?' Kai said, slowly pushing Sarah off him and sitting up.

'You actually.'

'Well, well.' He smirked. 'This day has finally come.'

'You wish, Hiwatari. I'm only here to talk to you, don't get your hopes up. I'll get straight to the point. Do you want the nice version or the not-so-nice version?'

'I'll take the nice one first.'

'Okay. Please, yes I'm using the word 'please' here, leave Deseara alone and don't do anything to her. I know she's stuck with you in detention today, you're probably soooo excited to be alone with her in a room with no one else, door closed and every opportunity to get some from her. But seriously Kai, that's not every nice, so please just leave her alone.'

He smirked. 'I'll have to say no. Now that you know my motives, I won't have to do them in secret anymore. And you're right, I am excited.'

Miko sighed impatiently and straightened up from her position against the tree. 'I've tried to be nice to you Kai. I knew I would never work.'

'Congratulations.'

'Shut up, ass. Now you listen to me and I'm only gunna say this once. Stay the hell away from Deseara, and Misha for that matter. I don't care if you're so sexually frustrated or something. But you touch De tonight I'm gunna find out. And when I do, it wont be pretty.'

'Oh yeah? You throwing threats against me now, Miko?'

'What if I am?'

'Babe, you aint half the person I am.'

'And that's supposed to make me scared how…?'

'i'm going to have fun with deseara,' he whispered, stepping closer to her, 'and there isn't anything you can do to stop me, and even if you find out, there's nothing you can do. Miko, you cant possibly think to harm us in any way.'

'Oh yeah? Watch me.' She growled, shoving him away from her. But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her close, speaking in a low whisper.

'Don't think you can continue this and not get any consequences, Miko, sooner or later, you'll realize just how dangerous it is to mess with us.' He pushed her away. Miko stumbled and crashed into someone chest.

'What's going on?' Tala asked, wrapping his arm around Miko's waist.

'Nothing.' She said airily, 'kai and I were just having a little chat.' She turned to the bluenette, 'I swear to god, Kai, you better not do it.' The intensity in her eyes told him just how serious she was.

'Do what?' Tala asked as they walked down the hallway through the throng of students.

'y'know,' she sighed, 'the whole Deseara and Misha thing.' She stopped and faced her boyfriend. 'I'm scared, Tala. Seriously, this is the first time I feel like I cant handle the situation and that's really bad. This time, even one little mistake will result in...I don't even wanna think about it.'

He placed both hands on her shoulders and gave it a reassuring squeeze, 'it's okay. Look, I know Kai. He says he's going to do it. But he still respects the female population, on some level. He won't force himself onto Deseara or Misha. Despite however evil you depict him as, he wont stoop that low.'

'If you say so…'

'Plus,' he smirked, 'I'm sure Deseara can handle herself. And we all know what she can do when she's angry.'

'Somebody kill me.' Deseara muttered as the final bell rang. Around them students collected their things and began filing out the door.

'It's only two hours.' Miko replied, slinging her bag over her shoulders.

'Oh yeah, only two hour.' Deseara rolled her eyes.

'Yup'

'I hate you'

'Ah, spreading the love.' Misha smirked.

When Deseara entered the room, Kai was already there, with his feet on the desk and looking bored. He turned towards her when he heard the door and smirked. She groaned inwardly. Slamming the door behind her, Deseara stalked past him and made sure to sit down in the farthest possible seat.

'So.' Kai began, 'what do you want to do?'

'Not talk to you, for one.'

'Ah.'

Silence.

Deseara took a glance out the window, glaring at the students laughing and hanging around outside.

'What are you planning to do? Since neither of us can make it to the party on time.' Kai asked.

'Nothing that concerns you.'

More silence.

Sighing impatiently, she checked the clock to find that barely 20 minutes had passed. She groaned and dropped her head onto the desk. The sound made Kai glance behind him. There was a scraping of chairs and footsteps. They stopped beside the girl.

'Go away.' Deseara growled, he voice muffled.

'Aw come on now.' He smirked and took a seat next to her.

She decided it was no longer safe. Sitting up, Deseara leaned back in her chair and stared at him, daring him to make a move.

'You know I'll do it.' He said quietly.

'Not if I can help it-'

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. With another yank, he set her on his lab, facing him with her back against the desk. She struggled but he tightened his grip on her.

'Don't'

'watcha mean 'don't'? I wanna get out here still alive thank you.' She said, rolling her eyes.

'Don't fight it, Deseara.' He whispered, leaning in, 'I know you want it. It's in your eyes.'

She was at a loss for words; it was like her voice wouldn't work. She tried but with no avail she could only stare as his words sunk in.

'No, I…'

He crushed his lips to hers and pulled her closer. It was not how she imagined.

His kisses were soft but deep, the warmth and the delicious sensation of him brought color to her cheeks as she found herself falling deeper into his embrace. Warning bells went off in her head but Deseara was too lost in the moment to notice.
