How are all my fellow readers doing? I found a wonderful story for those who like Hilary/Tyson stories. It's called 'Requited Love' requited love means not understood, not answered to love. It's a story of how they feel. It made me cry so It must be good. If you are a new reader please review. To the story!
Chapter 5: Plans equal Stupid Actions
Emily's Viewpoint
I yawned realizing that I didn't know where I was. Ow wait, I'm at Kai's place. I better go to my house and get changed. Wait it's November 6, we are going to be leaving for winter vacation in a month. I didn't plan to return home this winter. I'll call Judy and my mom. I better get up.
My muscles aren't as in pain as they were last night. I could stand up just barely. I tried to hold myself up long enough to sneak past Kai and return to my room. "You weren't planning on leaving, were you?" Kai is a really early riser, forgot that.
"Yes I was. I don't have anything to wear for today and I think I've caused you enough problems. I better, be going." Kai smirked. I knew what that mean. I had managed to challenge him and this wouldn't end up good.
"It's not nice to leave without saying good-bye Emily. You should really remember you're manners." Kai was just trying to start something. I don't think I could handle it today. My knees were wobbling and I was going to fall any minute now. Kai realized I was going to fall. "You better sit down. I'll go get you an outfit for today."
"Thanks Kai, I'm sorry to cause you so many problems." I hated being a nuisance to Kai. He was such a giving person to do this all for me but he just wanted to do more.
Kai returned in about 6 minutes. "Here Emily, you can get dressed in the bathroom." Kai pointed out the bathroom and I went in and got dressed. I came out and Kai turned around and looked at me. It was never good when Kai looked at you like this. If it was Michael I would have slapped him by now but I respected Kai, somewhat.
I noticed hadn't made anything to eat this morning. Well, unless he already did the dishes from this morning already. "I'm treating you to breakfast this morning. I think it's the only thing I can do to repay you for saving me and you're hospitality." Kai sighed and I realized he would follow me off a cliff if there was a chance Tala was at the bottom to catch me and take me away.
We arrived at a small restaurant called 'Far Away from Home'. It was a restaurant in the middle of a forest so the name fit it well. We ordered and ate. I almost fell asleep in the middle of breakfast but all the people kept me from sleeping. I don't know why I was so exhausted. I hadn't ever been this bad. I couldn't put barely any pressure on my ankle and it hurt a lot.
I had a doctor check on it 2 weeks later. He said it wasn't anything to worry about. He said that it was just sore and a bit swollen. He said just to rest it a bit. Kai had told me that but like I paid attention to Kai attention to Kai's advice a majority of the time. I listened but I wouldn't use it because it would just cause me to defend myself and he would do something rigorous and that would be the end of it.
I picked up my cell phone from off the counter in my apartment. I needed to call Judy and my mom. I wanted to see if they had room for me this vacation. It was the whole month of December. I thought it would be nice to spend it at home. I had spent a lot of my time researching beyblades. I had made some major improvements. I made sure I did everything I could to his blade so it was ready for the battle with Tala.
"Hey Emily, how are you doing? So did you need anything? How's school? And you're partner?" I laughed. Judy wanted to know how Kai was. Anyone who has ever known Kai will know how Kai is all the time.
"I'm doing fine and school's great. Kai is doing fine but no one would ever know if he was anything but fine. I didn't need anything but I was wondering if you had room for me during Winter Vacation. It's in 2 weeks and I wanted to see if I could come home." I did miss home a lot more now that I thought about it.
"Sure Emily, I'm sure Eddy, Steve, Michael and your family will be more than glad for you to come for a visit in a few weeks. Michael's been annoying us more than ever now that he can't annoy you. Do you think Kai would want to join us? It's not nice to leave you're partner alone over the vacation, Emily. Ask him and call me back. Bye." Judy hanged up, she didn't give me much of a choice but to brink Kai. I might have to drag him but that's okay. He will follow me everywhere.
I knocked on the door of his apartment. I should just walk in because he wouldn't open the door anyway. He'd tell me to come in. "Come on in Emily." I got tired of not just walking in.
"Kai, you have any plans for Winter Vacation?" I highly doubted he would but I'd ask anyway. It wasn't polite to guess things without any clues as of his answer. I knew he couldn't go with family and his only friend Tala wanted to kill him and me.
"Hm, no." I found this a good opportunity to test Kai's boundaries.
"You plan on coming with me to the All Stars BBA headquarters in 2 weeks then." He laughed. "I just thought you'd have something better to do than spend a month watching me while I'm with my team. I'm mean unless you're afraid that during the matches Judy will have for us, I'll win." Okay, I think I did go a little too far. It's one thing to disagree with Kai but a totally different one to say that I could beat him in a practice round.
"You're on, Emily. But first." Kai was going to… and now that I was completely back to normal and wasn't in any pain. Let's just say he was going to have fun and maybe I would to.
Within 3 seconds he had me pinned against the couch again this time he was holding me down with all his strength but I reversed it and after a struggle I was on top of him. I sat there and he found it funny that I was as 'playful' as he was. I sat on his chest like I found it that he didn't plan on going anywhere for a long time. I sat there and crossed my arms. I finally got up and he pulled me by my arm back on top on him. It was a game of well whatever. I felt so nervous and sweaty. I was on top of Kai and about a few inches from his face. I was so scared what he'd do next, I wouldn't dare think of it.
There was a knock on the door. It was Sydney. Kai pushed me off of him to the other side of the couch and went to the door. Sydney peeked around Kai and met me. Let's just say my appearance looked like I had just fought my bit-beast and lost. I was a mess and Kai hadn't broken a sweat. He enjoyed the challenge of playing with me. "I think I'll come back later. Bye Emily." She waved to me. She looked at Kai, she was suspicious of Kai. "Bye Kai."
I started laughing and fell of the side of the couch. Kai chuckled at my accident. "Mind helping out Kai?" Kai walked over there and it was very embarrassing. I tried to cover the fact that my skirt had came up when if fell backwards. He put out his hand and helped me stand up. I brushed down my skirt and tried to straighten up my appearance. When he saw me actually paying attention to my appearance he laughed.
I looked at the clock and I realized Kai and I had to go to work. Kai looked at the clock and followed me out to my car and got in the passenger's seat. We didn't ever ask anymore to ride in each other's car. Kai would drive me to school and I would drive us to work.
"Emily, Kai, it's great to see you again." Mr. Dickinson was here. He must have heard about Kai's massive attack and speed updates. Kai's much better than he was. I wanted everything to be perfect as I was. Kai just expected everything to be perfect. That was a small difference between us. Kai was perfect but I wanted everything else to be while he just expected it to be and didn't care if it was or not.
"Hi Mr. Dickinson; so what brings you to our research center?" I asked to see how he would respond but he answered different than I would have expected.
"I wanted to see if you and Kai would be staying here or leaving over Winter Vacation. So what are you doing?" Mr. Dickinson asked. I had forgotten to ask if Kai was going to stay or come.
"Hm, Emily is going to America and so am I then. She can't take care of herself so I guess I have to do it for her." I looked at him. He smirked back. He enjoyed to annoy me. It must just be our I'm better than you attitude that took over.
"I can so take care of myself Kai. You just haven't given me a chance." Mr. Dickinson looked at Kai to see how he'd respond.
"Whatever Emily, Tala at the school, at the apartment, and must I go on." I just pouted thinking of something to say in return. Mr. Dickinson walked of laughing at us. I wonder if it was funny to watch us bicker.
"That was so unfair to bring that up. So a super high tech android can capture me and beat me up and a team of evil bladers can. I beat the bladers and would have beat Tala if he didn't knock me out." Kai put his hand over my mouth. I looked at him like what do you think you're doing.
"You forgot someone." I looked at him and thought who? "Me." That was so it. I was tired of trying to prove myself to Kai. I'd have to prove myself in a battle.
"Let's go Kai. You wanted a chance to prove you're better than me, let's go." Kai laughed and walked away but then our supervisor looked at him.
"Emily, I know Judy has told you not to take advantage of you're teammates. Well the same goes for your partner here. Dranzer was completely designed, analyzed and perfected by you. You know its weaknesses, strengths and you know Kai's. You're fights will never be fair as long as you two have your clear advantages." The walked off laughing crazily.
The next week of school were fine. They sent home our grades to our homes. We both scored perfect on all our exams, there was no way to prove who was better in schoolwork. It was just another thing that we were evenly matched with. Where I lacked he made up for and where he lacked I made up for. Our scores were okay for me, as perfect for me being in a hospital most of the time. Kai thought his could be better. He expected himself to do better but he wouldn't go crazy about it like I would.
We went out to dinner for the last school night we would be in Osaka, Japan. We would be leaving for America Monday afternoon. Kai couldn't wait to annoy me for hours on the trip. I know I'd enjoy it for sure. There would be no way to escape him on the flight. I'd just have to deal with his attitude. My cell phone rang. I excused myself for a second to pick it up. "It's Max." I told Kai. "Hey Max. I can't wait to go home too. I miss you're mom and the team too."
"Even Michael." Kai asked. I looked at him. I shook my head. My face read 'are you crazy?'. Max wondered if that was Kai and of course it was. No one except Michael was that obnoxious to me.
"Okay, ya, I'll tell him." I hanged up the phone. I looked at Kai who smirked to see me annoyed by his questions during my call. "I definitely won't miss Michael. I get to be annoyed enough with myself and you. At least Michael knows how to act when I'm on the phone." Kai just sighed and went Hm; like normal.
I went home and went inside my apartment to finish packing. I found a letter on my door. It's usually some silly note from Kai. But this time it wasn't it was from… Tala. I screamed and collapsed on the floor and dropped the letter. Kai came into my room. He noticed me paler than normal sitting on the floor with a letter in front of me. He sighed and angrily picked up the note. It read:
Dear Emily,
It's been a lot harder lately to watch you and keep track on you. Tell Kai he's doing a fair job. Also tell him that you're defenseless while you're sleeping. That's how I got you the second time and that's how I plan on getting you again. I have started to enjoy our game of cat and mouse. Tell Kai that soon it will all be over. Within the next month, no matter where you go I can find you.
Tala
"You okay." I was not okay; I was scared half to death. He helped me up and lead me to the couch. Kai didn't see how scared and terrified I was right now. I guess that was because I was hiding that but if he knew he'd think worse of me and it was hard enough to go against him in the first but this is too hard. I collapsed into the pillow on the side of my couch. He sighed. "You need to make a plan. He knows where you'll be and he's identified when he's coming. So you make the plan."
"I can't. I'd rather give up." I whispered to him. I did it as gently and a quiet as I could. I could hear Kai laughing I looked up and saw him smirk. It was funny and annoying sometimes but this time it was just plain mean.
"He already won Emily. You gave up; you're weakened and that's all he needed. You're now just waiting to be captured now. You can't stay anywhere anymore. He scared you into giving up. He psyched you out and now you're much easier to take." Kai stood there looking at me.
"What to do know? I'm leaving for America on Monday and that's higher security but he can easily get through it. I think you need to make a plan." Kai stood there. I think he was ashamed of me and if he was then so what. I needed this.
"For tonight you should just stay with me. He knows that you're going to be really out of it tonight and he might as well strike tonight to get it the easiest way he can; the faster and easier the better. Come on." Kai helped me stand up. I stood up and he looked kind of blank at me. "You know I'm not going to hold this against you. No one is perfect Emily, as much as you think you are and want to be, you never will be."
"I guess that is my greatest weakness. I can't except that I'm not perfect. I guess if I was like you I'd be doing better than I am." Kai started chuckling. I think I made a joke but I didn't mean to.
"Trust me, not paying attention to most things isn't the way to do things either. I've had it way worse over my life. I would do anything to be you. If you went through what I did you'd turn out the exact same way or you'd fall on the ground and die. But knowing you're determination to be better than all the rest you could have easily been and my place." Kai was so special and even after all our arguments we understood each other and for the first time I think Kai was smiling because he was happy not because of a cruel joke.
I slept in Kai's room again. I kind of felt bad for kicking Kai out of his house again. I was being more pathetic than ever. I knew now that I liked Kai. I really liked Kai. He was so like me but he worked so hard to become the person that he can call himself. I really have no clue that Emily is. Emily is this girl who thinks that she's the best, she's perfect, but on the inside she's weak and just acts strong to hide her true feelings and pains.
Kai's Viewpoint
I'd do anything to take Emily out of everything for good. She's perfect for everyone. She's the strongest and best blader I've ever met, except for me. She's strong but sometimes she cracks because even an idiot knows when he's outmatched and needs help. I learned that at the first world championships. You can't always rely on yourself because that will take you no where and Emily can't go no where. She's too good to be going no where.
It was now 5:30 am. I snuck out of the house to go visit Tala. I needed to know exactly what he wanted. I called Hilary and Tyson to come and watch Emily. She would need to talk to someone and that wasn't exactly what I needed to help her with for now. Tala's headquarters was 20 minutes south of here so I could go talk to him while Emily was sleeping and be back. I hoped that Emily wouldn't wake up before then but if she did she could talk to Tyson and Hilary.
I arrived at Tala house. The guards guided me right to Tala's office. "Kai, I wasn't expecting you. A visit from my old friend is always nice. So what may I ask are you here for?" I just looked at him.
"Emily." I mumbled in a quiet hushed tone of voice. Tala laughed and held his arms open with his palms facing out.
"Sorry Kai, you're mistaken. I don't have Emily. I'll have her soon but not now at this hour." I knew he didn't have her. She was back home with Hilary and Tyson. I knew that she wasn't with him.
"I want to know exactly what you have planned with Emily. I deserve to know that much don't I." I looked at him. He enjoyed playing the games I too enjoyed but the things he had in store for Emily made this a game I had to win.
"Kai, Kai, Kai. I don't see why you think I'm going to hurt her. I promise I won't. I just need her to help me and my team for a few years. Then I'll be done. I plan to use her powers to create the ultimate beyblade for me to destroy you. It's a very simple plan. She knows you're strengths and she can easily make a beyblade to combat them. I know she can so why would I just not let her do that for me when it's so easy. You're making it much harder than it has to be. Just surrender her to me." I smiled. Tala was angry now.
"Give up and surrender her to you. I don't think so. I don't plan on letting you win ever and especially not by surrendering to you. You're going to have to do a lot better than all these simple things." Tala smirked, he had a plan and that was never good.
"I asked you to make it easy for me. I planned on using it a little different. There are two people and possessing either one will serve my plan perfectly. You understand Kai?" I was not getting it then I realized. Emily was strong and if I was gone she'd come looking for me. If she was gone I'd want to save her and go to find her. If he had me or Emily it would work as bribery and now I had just made it easier. "I guess you do now."
"You know you must be really stupid Tala. Both of our weaknesses were as plain as day and yet you needed me to point them out. Well guess what, I think that you need to learn them on your own." Emily burst through the door and launched her beyblade at a pole causing the ceiling to cave in.
"Are you crazy?" I looked like I wasn't glad to see her and seriously I wasn't. As much as I should be glad to see her. This was just too easy. He had both me and Emily in his headquarters with a hundred men ready to beyblade against us. It was very bad.
"No, I just thought we have to leave in a few hours and you're going to go off and deal with Tala on your own. I don't think so." Emily, hard headed, stupid actions Emily. I guess we should have made a plan before running off.
"Come on, the ceiling won't hold him off long." Tala rose up from under the paneling that had fallen on top of him.
"I challenge you to a battle Kai." I nodded and Emily sighed. "I see she's going to try to help you." I looked at her and she looked afraid. I didn't want anything to happen to her so I just looked at Tala.
"Don't you bother her, this is our match. Emily, stay out of this one." Emily looked very surprised. On any normal occasion she predicting his moves, his levels and everything would be something I'd gladly let her do. This was different. Tala wanted to make things fair in this battle and if Emily helped he'd take her away and I couldn't let him do it. "Let's go." I stuck Dranzer on the launcher and prepared for take off.
"Kai?" I didn't want to look at her. I needed to do this on my own. This would make a difference forever. If I won I'd keep Dranzer and Emily would stay safe for a while longer. If I lost, which I wasn't but if I ever did to Tala, I'd lose Dranzer and Emily would be captures. That was 2 reasons to win and none to lose.
"Emily, this is our battle. Don't interfere. Do you understand me?" I was treating her like a 7 year old child but I had to make it clear. I might need her help but just for her safety and my concentration I'd need her to be quiet and let me be. "Do you?"
"Yes." She walked to the back of the stadium and leaned against the wall. I watched her. She looked kind of upset. She wanted to help. She expected everyone to be perfect, like she was. I just expected everyone to be the best they could be and nothing more. Emily would do anything to help because she didn't need help but I did so that's what she'd do. But not this time.
