Hello fair readers, I'm having a bit of trouble learning German lately. I just started today and w sound like v so It's very confusing. If you know any tricks to learning German tell me. I am taking Spanish and Japanese with a teacher and online courses but not for German, so it's harder. All my guy friends take German and they find it funny that I don't understand them so that's what's up with me. I finished my Mariah and Ray fic. This is my next one so it's now on the top of my to-do list.

Chapter 3: School Sessions

Emily's P.O.V.

There was a knock on the door it woke me up. It was the odd and jumpy face of my most talkative neighbor Sydney. "Morning Sydney thanks for the wake up call." I was being very sarcastic but Sydney didn't catch sarcasm easily.

"Don't mention it. I just wanted to make sure you got up early enough for our first day of school. I'm so happy I made it in. How about you?" Sydney was very excited to be accepted to O'daylawn but Kai and I were top people and could get into any school we wanted.

"Whatever Sydney, I have to get ready so go on." I pretty much pushed her out of my apartment. I didn't want to be mean but if she woke me up to get ready then I was.

I took a shower, got dressed and grabbed my books. There was a knock on the door I hoped it wasn't Sydney. I really hoped it would be Kai. I walked out into the hallway. I looked around and no one was there. There was a note on the doormat. This is so 3rd grade stuff. It was from Kai. I picked it up and opened the letter:

Emily: I'll be driving you to school for this year. No matter what you say meet me everyday at 7:50 so I can drive you to school. Kai

I was surprised that even in letters he had no feelings to match him. I guess he's just like me. I don't know why this worked me up but I have 10 minutes to get down stairs so I better go. I grabbed my books and walked into the elevator and met Kai at the door. He stood there and started walking over to a car, it was clearly his. It was a two-seat convertible.

"You could be more polite when you're asking someone to come with you in their car. You should work on you're manners." Kai laughed like making fun of Tyson. I didn't like how Kai was being so unemotional.

"I wasn't asking you. I was telling you. I'll be sure to take courses on manners at the school, okay." He was pushing it a little far. He was treating me like I had no chance to make the decision. I guess he wouldn't let me make the decision on my own.

"So why are you volunteering to drive me to school? It's not a very Kai like thing to do." Kai chuckled. His laugh was beginning to get on my nerves but he could go do whatever he wanted to.

"It's dangerous in this area. I just don't want you hurt that'll all." Kai cares about me getting hurt. That's odd from his normal Kai attitude. Kai seemed to be amused by thinking I'm weak and can't defend myself.

We arrived at the school and we walked to our first class. Biology, I found out that Kai planned on being a doctor and doctor's use science all the time so we had a lot of the same courses. Kai and I met two girls we wanted nothing to do with. Jennifer Porter and Alexis Christi were the girlish oddest girls ever. We had all our classes with them. They were becoming a nurse and surgeon assistant. They couldn't stand blood which was great for being in the medical field.

We met up at Lunch where Kai and I didn't really sit together or near each other. We would need space from each other sometimes. Jennifer and Alexis were going to join me to eat for sure. "Hi Emily, I'm Jennifer Porter. Can we sit here?" I wanted to make a smart comment but I decided it was best just to ignore them. They sat down.

Alexis must have liked Kai and I wouldn't blame her but Kai wasn't one to like girls who were weak, unintelligent, didn't beyblade and were pathetic. He saw all girls as weak and pathetic and they were even more than me. "So you know Kai? What do you know about Kai? Where did you meet him?" Alexis was also very nosey around Kai.

I didn't seem surprised by their questions. "I know Kai, he's like an acquaintance. I work with Kai; we just happened to be picked to work with each other for 2 years. I have to go to…(think of somewhere why don't I)…English." I walked off. I felt like my excuse was the stupidest anywhere.

"You could be nicer!" Jennifer yelled from the table. Kai got up and stood next to me and we walked to wherever I was planning on going. Kai could be very dependant on himself one day and just follow you around everywhere the next. He was so amazing.

"So where you plan on going?" Kai asked wondering how long we'd be wondering around the halls.

"I'm going to practice beyblading. I thought it is important to keep my skills in tune. If you want you may join me." Kai nodded and followed me.

Kai's Viewpoint

Emily is an amazing person. She can be so personal and talkative and so heartless at the same time. I like her ideas for working on beyblade. She is just like me, never good enough. I'm sure Trigator is in fine shape but I don't think she stands up to Dranzer.

We bladed for an hour but I never loss it ended in a tie. She evenly matched my powers. It was freaky how someone could match your powers. She hasn't got a chance to study my bit-beast or strategies in years so how does she know this stuff so familiar.

"I'll see you later Kai. I have AP Calculus this period while you have Anatomy. I'll see you later." I realized that Emily was going the wrong way around the school. She has to go through the forest and that's where the gangs hide out. I'll watch to make sure she gets to her class safely.

"Ah!" Great, here I go again saving her. I think I'm going to be doing this all year, great. I met up with the gangs and realized Emily was knocked out on the ground and her beyblade was gone. Great!

"Give her back her blade and leave her alone." The guys laughed. They must not of recognized me in the uniform; this I can use to my advantage.

The school had a uniform it was navy and gold like most schools in the area. I wore a white shirt, a blazer that was embroidered with the school's crest. I wore dress pants with it. Emily had a white dress shirt on that was embroidered with the school's crest, she wore a knee length pleated navy and gold skirt that was plaid. It was like a school girl would were in America. Max had told me that most schools didn't have uniforms like Japanese schools.

I easily won the match against the guys on the gang but then I retrieved Trigator and saw Emily. She was still passed out on the ground. I carried her to the nurses office. It was easy, she was really light. I had to be careful not to drop her. She was very weak and fragile.

"Thanks for bringing her in here dear. I'm Mrs. Lardian you can see her after class today if you want to. She should be awake by then." I really didn't mind spending my free time seeing Emily. It was better than being in Anatomy. I had to take it but it wasn't my favorite class and it wasn't the most exciting class. Especially with Alexis and Jennifer.

"Ya, whatever. Tell her I'll be here later." I walked out of the room and went to Anatomy. I hoped that Emily would be okay. She didn't look well at all.

"Hi Kai, where's Emily? Don't you have all you're classes with her?" Jennifer was being so bothersome. I would have though Emily would have taken Anatomy too. She has to work with bit-beast but I guess a bit-beast has to be studied not like animals and people. I sat down in the back of the room.

About 10 minutes into the class the nurse from the infirmary; she didn't seem to have good news. I hoped it wasn't about Emily. My teacher called me up. "Hm, this is about Emily right?" The nurse nodded.

"Well it seems that she had 1 of her ribs broken. She's at the hospital now but she gave you permission to visit her. Here's the room number." The nurse handed me a slip of paper. It had a list of everyone she would let in her room as well as a phone number and room number.

"Thanks for telling me." I went back to my seat and sat down looking at the paper. Should I go up there or should I just call her when I get home. I call her and ask her if she feels like having a visitor.

That was our last class of the day so I went into my car and called her cell. I hoped she wouldn't be too bad to blade but I think she's doing well enough to still have a grudge against Michael.

"Hi, this is Emily." Great, I forgot to give her my number. "Hello, anyone there?"

Emily Viewpoint

"Hey Emily, how are you doing? Fell like having a visitor." It's Kai. I really don't mind at all. I wonder how long I've been asleep. Is he still at school?

"I could be doing better. Thanks for helping me. I don't mind like having a visitor though." Great I can't sit up or even lean up enough to move the bed up to talk. I might need some help.

"Your welcome, I'm 6 minutes away so see you then. I felt I needed to help you." He hanged up, great. He gets to see me at my weakest. He already thinks girls are weak and I can't even sit up I'm a genius.

"Doctor." I called and my doctor Mrs. Encura. She turned around. "My friend is coming in a 6 minutes. May I have my blouse back." The doctor looked very unsure about letting me get dressed while having a broken rib.

"I'm not sure if it's healthy to wear you're blouse over you're bandages yet." All I'm wearing is bandages are covering my chest and stomach. I have a small thin gown over it but I'm not comfortable wearing this in front of Kai. "I'll ask the other doctors. I'll be right back." She came back in, in about a minute. I heard some talking outside the room.

"Emily Dennison." It was Kai, great. I needed something to wear over my bandages and this gown.

"Wait a second. I have to give her this blouse." Kai of course replied with a hm. Thank goodness he waited though. She came in. "You have a visitor. You will be able to wear this blouse." It was a light blue top that was short sleeves like my tennis uniform I wear on weekends. I put on the top with the matching skirt I was like my tennis uniform except in blue.

"Come in Kai." I yelled to him. He walked in. He was still in his uniform and leaned against the wall of my room. I struggled really hard to sit up. He found this funny. "Shut it."

"Here." Kai pushed the button on the side of the bed that brought the bed up so I could lean against it. "You don't look very well."

"Hm. Well it's not my fault anyway that this happened. It's that stupid gang's fault." He found it funny when I acted like him. It wasn't exactly me but I didn't like to say anything unless it was about me saying something.

"I should have walked you to class but I thought you could handle it on your own." He was trying to say that I couldn't take care of myself. This was it.

"Ha. It was 20 people against me. I did my best. I won didn't I." Kai found this funnier. I never understand why boys find it fun to tease people who are vulnerable. This is like me in my case.

"You won but you passed out and had a broken rib didn't you. You're in a pretty bad state aren't you?" Why did he care? I've never seen Kai like this before. He was only friendly like this during the 1st world championship.

"So I could still battle and beat you if I wanted to." Great I challenged him to a battle and I still can't stand up. Kai got the humor of my challenge.

"You can't even sit up I think battling is out of the agenda for you for a while." Kai was being so wonderfully understanding (sarcastic).

"I get to go to school for beyblading so if I want to go to school I have to beyblade. No matter what my conditions are. You'd do the same wouldn't you." I looked him knowing he would.

"Hm." He set a book and a few sheets of paper on my lap side table. "It's your calculus homework. I thought you want something to do."

"Thanks, it is very boring in here. I can't wait to leave." I picked up some of the papers. It was simple calculus equations.

"I have to go, if you need anything here's my number." I would miss talking with him, our conversations were always so different from the rest of the world's conversations. I took the number and programmed it into my phone.

"Bye Kai, hopefully I'll see you tomorrow. I can't stand being here." Kai smiled, why did he think it was funny that I was having to go through all of this.

Kai had been gone for a 3 hours but nothing stayed in my thoughts more than Kai. Kai was like a perfect match for me. He matched my thoughts. He had the same need for power. He was evil but he didn't abuse the power anymore. He used it to show off which was something I quite enjoy.

Kai's Viewpoint

Emily is very tricky. You never know what she's thinking. She's one to be powerful while appearing to be very vulnerable. She's very direct and strong. I think this is going to be an awesome year with her. Kai smirked while driving home.

"Oh Kai, I'm glad you're back. I can't find Emily. She's nowhere to be found. Is she okay? Do you know where she is?" Sydney was being all caring and thoughtful in person. It was just sickening to watch her.

"Ya, she's fine. Hm." I walked off hoping that she'd get over being cheerful and nice. I could care about how people were but doing it in my mind is different than doing in out loud.

Hm. A note, who could it me from. I opened the letter and pounded on the wall. She's in for it now. I read the note:

Dear Kai,

Hope you and you're new partner are doing well. I feel bad for her. I mean we were being unfair by sending 20 of our men against her. I guess it was cruel to you that we attacked her when you had to leave her. I have always gotten what you have. You have found the one person, the one in the whole world who rivals and equals you're power and skill in a feminine form. You can protect her all you want but I'll attack when you least expect it and when she's at her weakest. Be prepared but most of all be very afraid.

Your Friend,

Tala

Tala's back for revenge, great. Emily gets to be Tala's greatest prey. I never realized it but Tala has always wanted what I have. If Emily does have powers that are equal to mine than Tala definitely can't take her. She's not safe anywhere anymore. Poor Emily.

There was a knock on the door. "Excuse me, a man downstairs left this letter for you. He had blonde hair and was wearing a green outfit." Max, I wonder if Tala contacted him too.

I snatched the letter from the desk woman. "Hm, thanks." I read the note, if it was from Max it had to be important. The envelope was fat, he must have written a lot down. I hope he is not in danger too. I brought them into this and I'm going to take them out of this for good. I took the letter and sat down on the couch.

Dear Kai,

I don't know if you got the letter from Tala but I hope you did. I don't know what we are going to do to protect Emily. Tala can't take her away. She's in too much danger already. Come to my house as soon as you can. Miriam had just caught up with me. I haven't seen her in a month so knock on the door before you come in.

Max Tate

Good old Max and Miriam; Max knows Emily better than anyone. I'm sure that she'll be able to help me decided what to do. Let's go. I grabbed my keys and ran to my car and jumped in.

I arrived at the Tate's house. I knocked on the door and Miriam opened the door and invited me in. "Kai, good it's you. Come on in. Max, Kai's here."

"Hey Kai, it's great to see you. I just came back from seeing Emily. She's doing well. I didn't tell her about the letter. Did you get it?" I just nodded. "I don't think she's going to agree to being sent back to America with the All Stars. She seems to like being here. I guess it's just so different in culture. So what do you think?"

"I have a different idea Max, Emily was talking to Hilary and we figured out why Tala might be after her." Miriam said bringing her beyblade out of her tunic and grasping it strongly in her hand.

"What is it?" I asked being very impatient with Miriam.

"Emily can analyze a bit-beast just as quickly as Dizzy can. Except Emily can do it without a computer. She knows all of the bladebreakers' weaknesses as well as all the other top teams. It gives anyone who she is with a great advantage. Not to mention she is one of the most powerful bladers around. Tala needs to know your weakness Kai and take down everyone. With her power and her having everyone's weaknesses she's a winning prize to have." Miriam spoke very seriously and squinted her eyes tightly.

"If he gets her in her grasps then it's over. Emily knows you're weakness Kai. She knows everyone's. Tala won't be very understanding to her when she won't tell him everyone's weakness. She uses it to help people win not to destroy people's lives. Tala doesn't have a sense of mercy Kai. He'll kill her on the spot; you and know that." Max put everything into simple persecution. I haven't thought about all those people who would do anything to win. If Tala couldn't know everyone's weaknesses; than no one could. He'd kill Emily and no one deserves to die, especially not Emily.

"It's not a pretty thought Kai, but it's true. You and I know it very well." I knew it and I knew it very well.

"Today was just a warning. He could have taken her. I wasn't there to defend her and they could have easily taken her." When I said it, it wasn't how I wanted it to sound. It sounded emotionless like I could careless. I wanted it to sound that it was all my fault.

"What should we do? If she won't stay and she's in danger what can we do?" Miriam wanted to know. "He's going to strike when she's by herself and then it will be it for us or her or worse, both of us." Miriam was going to cry and Max held on to her and comforted her. They were married and they could do whatever they wanted.

"I'll watch her. I'm her partner and Tala's my enemy. We have all our classes together except one and I can easily pick her up and drop her off to that class. There is no way that she'll get kidnapped." I didn't want to seem to eager to help because Emily is like me and spending time by myself is just fine for me.

"If you insist Kai; I'm sure you two will get along fine. Are you sure you can take care of her 24 hours a day for the next 2 years? I know it would get on my nerves. She thinks she's the best blader ever and all." Max said trying to make sure I was okay with this.

"She is. But I'm better." Miriam shook her head. "I'm the best and Tyson just got lucky the first time." Max started laughing and I just looked at him. I was just like Emily and hanging out with me was fine with me.

"Kai, you're one cool dude. You better explain to Emily the situation. I think she'll be better with you telling her than anyone else. Good luck with Emily, dude." I replied 'hm.' And walked to my car and left.

I'd be sure to explain it to her in the morning when I met her at home. The doctor had left a message on my cell that I needed to take her home so my next stop was to see Emily and take her home.

-------------------------------------

I'm messaging people who my friends have noted as reviewing on Kai/Emily fics so this should be good. It's going to go crazy then everything's going to go wrong and then we get to the real romance.
