If you love Kai/Emily tell me because I do. They say opposites attract but in Kai's case he would die if that was true. I totally love Kai/Emily pairing. Review!

Chapter 4: A Simple Understanding of Dangers

Kai's Viewpoint

"Hey Kai, I'm ready to go." Emily said wearing the same outfit she was wearing this morning.

"You can sit up and stand, did you do it on your own or with help." Emily looked at me like you're pushing it so you better stop. I just smirked. Emily tilted her head back like she wasn't impressed by how I reacted. I had to be pushy if I was going to protect her.

I took her home but when we were in the elevator she asked a question I didn't expect her to ask. "Kai, why are you doing all this for me? Usually you wouldn't care." Honestly I didn't know why I've been protecting her earlier. I now know that I am going to be protecting her because it's my evil friend that wants her.

"Because you have power and so do I and I don't want it to get in the wrong hands. From power comes more power." I walked of to my room. It was something she would have to understand like the things I would tell Tyson, Max and Ray. It really means to me that if she's powerful than I want to be around her to control and share in her power and company.

Emily's Viewpoint

From power comes power. It's an odd phrase. It means that from me more power will come so I guess he understands that I'm powerful so that he wants to be part of the power. He's more or less protecting me by staying with me. He knows something that I don't. I have to find out what it is. It has to be something important.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I envy Kai's power and control. He could be so much better and more powerful. Wait, maybe that's what he wants. He wants me to help him be more powerful. Maybe that's what I'm really here to do. It doesn't exactly make sense but whatever.

I went to sleep trying to figure out what Kai meant. There were so many things it could mean. Kai was complicated yet usually so simple. He's changed a lot. I think the fact that Tala's been weird lately has effected him. I'd ask Kai what he meant in the morning.

I awoke to the sound of a knock. "Ah." I screamed and Kai came in the room. I covered myself up with my blanket. Kai smirked and waited outside the door. I was just wearing the bandages and a very thin night gown. "Wait a sec Kai, okay." I had finished getting dressed. I stared at him in a face that said 'you say anything and I'll hurt you.'

"You might not want to scream again because someone might think you fell down and can't get up." Kai smirked at me because of course the night gown was very tight on me to sleep in and well you could see my figure which my uniform and close hid.

"Just be lucky I don't smack you next time you pull that." I looked at him. He smirked again. He was having fun toying with me.

"Maybe I will." He either liked me or just liked messing with me. Hilary had told me once that guys that you argue with turn out to be to crazy to ask you out. I found it hard to think that Kai liked me.

Kai's thoughts: Wow, Emily has a nice figure. She should were some clothes that show her nice figure. Wait, what are you thinking? Kai stop. She's cool in all but you should stop thinking like that.

Emily again. He keeps staring at me. Is he trying to freak me out or is he just checking me out. I'm sure I will never know.

"Kai, so you have something to tell me. You're an hour early. You wanted to say something." I was sure it was important because he wouldn't just come over if it wasn't.

"I'd sit down if I were you." I just gave Kai a face like I'm not scared but my the end I knew I would be. "Tala is kind of jealous of me now. He saw that I had the ultimate power now he wants you."

"Why does he want me? I'm no one special. I can't tie with you but that won't win a match. And like I'd join him." Kai rolled his eyes. I think I won't interrupt him if I'm so willing to learn what he has to say.

"He wants to beat me and you know everyone's weaknesses including mine. You've memorized them. He plans on using you're power and knowledge against us in the tournaments next time. He also wants you because you hang out with me. He knows that if you ever would help me than it would be over. I'd beat him and win. The end." I hadn't said a word. Tala wanted me to help beat Kai. Like I would help him.

"Come on Kai, like I'd join him after what he did to me and Trigator." Kai laughed. It was like sinister and like laughing at my stupidity.

"He doesn't plan on asking Emily. He'll kidnap you and kill you if you don't help. He's like me; he always gets what he wants. I'm going to be with you at every minute of your life until schools out then we'll send you back with the All Stars. It's much safer there." I sighed. My life was so hard and if Tala the big strong beyblader who's almost as good as Kai was after me. I was doomed. Kai couldn't just stand next to me my whole life, could he? "We could send you to the All Stars now or in 2 years you're choice." Kai said.

I don't think he'd enjoy watching me for the next two years but there are three reasons why I would stay. "I'm not leaving her for three reasons. I'm not afraid of Tala, I go to school here and I can handle myself just you see." I think I was kidding myself. I just came back from a hospital and I could take care of myself.

Kai smirked; he saw this as a challenge. I looked like 'no you don't'. He stepped toward me and backed me up into the couch so I was a 10 inches from the couch and pushed me over with one finger. "Ya, you can so handle yourself but you can't hold yourself up." He pinned me down on the couch so I couldn't move. "You sure you can take care of yourself?" I nodded and then he was about to sit on top of me like Michael had done when I broke my leg. I couldn't get up then and couldn't now but thank goodness Sydney came in. I told her she could come in when she wanted to.

"Am I interrupting something?" Sydney asked looking at me and Kai. It was odd because I was pinned down and Kai was holding me down by my arms and legs. I was like weak and annoyed and she was watching this.

"No you aren't I was just telling Kai to get off of me. Right Kai?" I used all my strength to sit up after Kai let go of me. Kai replied like 'hm' of course and he walked out of the room. I would get a wonderfully disturbing talk with Sydney, yah.

"I didn't know you and Kai were an item? I so have to tell everyone." Sydney was so excited. This was bad, she was a blabbermouth gosipist.

"We're not." I screamed at her. It left me out of breath. I breathed in a little if I did any more rigorous things this morning I'd land myself in the hospital again. "We're just friends, more like acquaintances."

"I happen to think that friends and acquaintances aren't in each other's apartments at 6 in the morning and one on top of each other. You seem more than friends to me." Sydney was very blunt.

"Just trust me. Kai and I aren't anything more than friends. In my dreams maybe, but not in reality. Kai was trying to prove that he was stronger than me and I was weak and vulnerable. I guess he was right because I couldn't more and now I'm in major pain." I held my side and winced in pain. This wasn't good.

"I won't tell anyone but you'd be careful just who walks in you're room at this time of morning. I'd be careful what you challenge Kai to from now on. I think he's having a lot more fun than you were." What did she mean by that? "Trust me, Kai defiantly likes you. He just has an odd way to show it. You said that. He seemed to being having fun in you're current state and being on top of you."

"So you're saying that Kai is being like those crazy boys in the school. I hate boys like that that take advantage of girls. It's so vile and cruel." Sydney laughed.

"If you haven't noticed so is Kai. He just is a bit more polite when he's being cruel. He also doesn't go to far in what he does to you. He's just playing around with you. He's your friend but I happen to believe that you both want to be more." I guess that we didn't really think about how we feel.

Kai's Viewpoint

"Better call Max later tonight." I didn't expect that to happen when I told her about Tala. I expected he to be shocked and not say anything. I didn't think she'd smart talk me and me end up on top of her. It was odd fun tormenting her like than. I should be careful. She did just come back from the hospital yesterday. She has a nice figure though. She's should wear something more form fitting.

I grabbed my books and went outside and met her in my car. I looked at her to make sure she was okay. She was blushing; it was very odd for Sydney to walk in on us like that. She sat next to me and I felt myself blushing. Why was I blushing? Did I like her? She was powerful and nice looking but did I like her? Could I like her?

"I took care of Sydney. She won't tell anyone. She's a very odd and scary person." Does she just have the need to bring things up to challenge me? Or is it me just being competitive. I smirked at her comment. "You can be very…scary too…sometimes." I didn't know what to call my personality and apparently neither did she.

"You okay?" Why was she asking me if I was okay? She had a broken rib and I had sat on top of her this morning. I should be asking her that.

"Hm." She shook her head. She found it funny that I didn't respond to silly questions. "A better question would be, are you okay?" I enjoyed teasing her; she found it easily tempting to respond.

"Not doing as well as I should be. They said I should be easily healing but someone might need to be more careful around me." I just smirked. I enjoyed tormenting and teasing her. I wondered if she enjoyed it. Apparently not because I think I hurt her ribs. I sat on her legs and held down her arms with my hands so she should be okay. I should be more careful though.

We arrived at the school and I felt that HE was here. Tala was waiting for Emily to be left alone. Was no where was safe for Emily any more? Emily was watching me. I did look annoyed by something. I kept looking around. Maybe I was just being paranoid but I could sense he was here.

"Kai, is something bothering you?" I didn't want to tell her I felt Tala was near I just kept walking and ignored her. She sighed which I thought was funny. She gave up on figuring out what was bothering me, more like plaguing me.

"Let's just go to class." I tried to keep a steady pace so that Emily could keep up with me. I noticed when I was on top of Emily that her breathing was unsteady and uneven. She must have been in pain.

A month past and nothing of any significance had happened. Emily had been completely safe and had healed completely. If Tala was going to attack it most likely would have been when she was most vulnerable and she was very vulnerable of the last 4 weeks.

There was a knock on the door. It was the lady who collected our rent. I handed her this month's rent and she handed me envelope's addressed to me or Emily. Why had he given me Emily's envelopes? This one is from Emily's doctor and one to me from the school nurse. I wonder why they had all been given to me. It was the end of the school week, Friday. I didn't see Emily for a five hours then we'd go see Max and Miriam for a visit. It was something I accompanied Emily on. I didn't think anything would happen to her in the car but you can't be too careful of what HE might attempt.

Sydney burst into the door. I stared at her like 'can't you knock?'. "Kai, I know you're upset but I can't find Emily. She went to her room and I came in and I can't find her." I ran out of my room past Sydney and into Emily's room.

I saw someone I would never expect to see in Emily's room. It was Tala. He must have taken her somewhere so I would listen to him. He never would take her at a point where it was easy. "Tala, what exactly do you want." Sydney walked in behind me and didn't realize the man.

"Who's she Kai? A friend of Emily's I presume. You can't make friends but apparently, Emily can." Tala walked around circling Sydney and pushed her out the door and locked it behind him.

"Emily, where is she?" Tala just smirked. "Tala I know you have her. What do you want for her? Is she okay?" Tala laughed.

"I won't hurt her, I promise. Neither will any of my men. We don't really want anything. I just want to talk." I just stared at Tala. "None of us have had an easily life. Miss. Perfect has though. She has a bit-beast, people protecting her about 15 hours of the day. I think you've been doing a very good job of watching out for her. But sadly not good enough. Sit Kai, I have questions and you have answers." I didn't like the sound of this but if he wasn't going to kill Emily or hurt Emily than I had to reason not to see what he wanted.

"These are going to be very simple yes or no questions like you like questions to be. I know you Kai but now you've changed and I want to know this new you. You like Emily, you want to protect her yes." I stared and finally Tala just looked at me knowing I had the answer.

"I don't really know. She's very complicated as a person. I do want to protect her though." I didn't know if I liked her. She was strong compared to most girls, she had major power and she was smart and I had fun playing around with her. Did I like her?

"Poor naïve Kai, you don't understand love do you?" I shook my head ever so slightly. "I guess hiding love from you're life for so many years can make you like that. I promise I won't harm her and you can have her back but I promise you one day I'll take her and I won't be so willing to return her." Tala jumped out the window, on to the roof and only left behind a letter. (In the closet, Tala.) It was 3 words and Tala's name. It must have been the location of Emily. I turned around to Emily's wardrobe closet and covered in blankets and tied up was Emily.

I picked up Emily's frail and weak body. She was knocked out. I carried her back to my apartment. Hers was a wreck and I'm sure she won't be the most thoughtless person of why she's beaten up badly and in pain.

Emily's Viewpoint

"Huh, where am I?" I saw a bed and a chair. It was a very similar site to my apartment but I knew well enough that it wasn't mine. I tried to get up but my legs wouldn't hold me up very well and I almost fell to the floor. Kai walked in. I'm in Kai's bed, in Kai's apartment, brilliant.

"Might as well just stay there; you're beaten up pretty badly." He said leaning against the door frame. He came closer and handed me a few letters. "I got these by mistake so enjoy reading them."

Dear Emily,

I feel so sorry for you having to deal with Tala and his cruel work. I got a letter from Max about what happened lately. I'm surprised that he'd pick a girl as his successor, frankly I thought he'd be one to think that girls are weak. I think Kai would be a better partner in crime than you. I hope you stay same and hope you're rib feels better.

Judy

Dear Emily,

Ha, ha, you go in trouble within 2 days of moving to Japan. I think it's funny. I hope Kai beats you easily. It's funny to watch you lose. Sorry about your rib. I can't say that it was my fault though. I do miss having someone to pick on. I'm sure Kai's having fun picking on you though.

Michael

Emily Dennison: I'm glad to inform you that your rib cage if perfectly set and back to normal. No more check ups will be needed but be careful of your ribs. They are very brittle.

Mocamiki Hospital

"Michael hopes you're having fun tormenting me. I don't know, are you?" Kai just smirked. "I'll take that as a yes." I could have guessed that Kai would find odd things very fun and amusing.

"Tormenting you if more fun than saving you and protecting you. I can say that." I felt bad for Kai. He spends all his time trying to protect me from a mistake his grandfather made even before Kai was born. Sending Kai to the abbey was a huge mistake. I'll be sure to tell that to Kai someday. I didn't have a hard life. I spent most of my life at home in our personal library and then at the BBA research facility. I never spend much of my time with my parent but Kai never knew his so his case is definitely worse.

"What did Tala want from you, or me or both of us?" Kai sighed. I don't think he expected that question so soon from me. I didn't mean to bother him with my questions.

"He just wanted an answer to the question. I don't know why he would go through all that trouble to ask me that one simple question but I'm sure now he knows the answer to it he knows all he needs to, to get what he wants." Kai just looked at me waiting for me to ask what the question was.

"You know what I want to know so just answer it already." Kai walked over to me and pushed me over with a finger and went back to the other room. His house was very clean for a guy. Michael and Eddy's rooms were a mess. Kai left every nice and clean. "I want to know the question still." I yelled from the other room.

"When you can sit up on your own, I'll tell you. I didn't expect you to ask the question and I didn't expect him to so I'll tell you when you can sit up on your own." I struggled to sit up. Why has it become so hard me to do a simple thing like sitting up?

"What was the answer then?" I tried to reason with him. I didn't know what he would respond but knowing something was better than nothing.

"Hm. I told him. 'I don't really know. She's very complicated as a person. I do want to protect her though.' If you can understand that then you know the question too." Could Kai ever be direct when talking to a person? I didn't think so. "You can stay here the night, your place is a mess and I'm kind of tired of caring you around and seeing as you can't sit up."

I sighed. Staying at Kai's apartment wasn't something I looked forward to. He was somewhat of a tricky person and you'd never know what to expect from him. "Just promise me that you won't play around."

"I can't promise that. It's too much fun to do to you; especially when you can't sit up and defend yourself. I find it funny to see you struggle, I doesn't happen much. You're safer here anyway." At least I knew part of the question that Tala asked. He asked if Kai was going to protect me and he was. The first part was a wide variable of questions.

I didn't really want to think about what Kai planned to do to me this afternoon. It was very simple and had been a month since I started school. I don't know why but being with Kai made me feel safe even if he was a potential dangerous person. He was tricky and feisty. I never knew what to expect from him.
