Smile For Me
- chapter 14 -
"Kai..." Voltaire cooed, enjoying the sickening sight of blood and sweat in front of him, "You should know better than to run away from me." He snapped, and flicked his wrist, obviously enjoying the scream that reached his ears. "I'll try to forgive you, my dear grandson," He sneered, "Or better yet, I'll try not to hurt that little Tyson of yours... if you promise not to run away from me again."
Kai didn't reply. He couldn't reply. He was on the verge of losing consciousness and hanging from the air was not very pleasant. When Voltaire slashed the whip again against his back, the sentence finally registered in his mind, and he thought of every possible death threat to throw towards his grandfather, but of course, fell silent. "...Yes."
Voltaire sneered, "Good."
"Tyson... I'm sure the two of you will definitely be the best of friends one day!"
Tyson awoke with a start, yawning and stretching all over the bed. He opened his mouth widely to release another yawn, before rubbing his stomach nonchalantly. Where was he again? Oh, right... In Hokkaido... but... Shit... Tyson bolted upright into a standing position, head immediately darting from one side to the other, feeling a sickening feeling well in his stomach as he realized that he was definitely not in Hokkaido.
And he knew exactly where he was.
He was right back in his bedroom in Tokyo.
And that man, who just slid the dojo door open and hauled Tyson over to eat breakfast, was his grandfather. "Gra-gramps! Wh-where... I mean... wh-why the hell am I here? I'm supposed to be in Hokkaido! With the rest of my classmates! And Kai! And... oh no, Voltaire! Grandpa!"
He was rudely cut off when a spoonful of rice was shoved squarely in his mouth, effectively muffling any other words and effectively almost choking the poor boy. Gramps tsked, "Come on, Tyson! We haven't seen each other in weeks and yah greet me by blowing up on your gramps like that! Not nice, T-bone, not nice!"
"But!"
"Oh yeah, and an old guy with a purple wig or something... I can't remember that pal's name... hmm... Barry, I think... Or something of ta' sort... was ta' one that carried yah back here! Come to think of it, your gramps here haven't had the chance to say a lil' thank you to da guy! He just handed your poor fainted body, T-bone, to meh and just left! Said that you shouldn't worry about stuff and whatnot... Come to think of it, he was mumbling and rubbing his head all the time, like he had a lump on that poor nut of his! And -"
"GRANDPA!" Tyson bellowed, "Where is that man? Where did he go? I mean... Where's Kai?"
Gramps shrugged and ate slower, "Said he needed ta' go back to that Voltaire guy... Voltaire Hiwatari, me'thinks. I dunno, mah man, ask ta' wall. Kai? Kai Hiwatari? BAH! Heard he was ta' grandson of that rich guy... Dunno the details, Tyson mah man! SIT! And eat! And -" Gramps blinked when a blur of blue, red and yellow zoomed pass him, and he didn't even hid the smile that appeared on his lips when he heard the sound of running footsteps disappearing away.
Kai, huh?
After an hour and a half of running under the winter sun, Tyson finally stopped, panting and sweating and gasping for breath. He stood up properly, trying to breathe in and out in a normal way, as he clutched the front of his shirt desperately. And as he looked up the huge mansion in front of him, he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"KAI!"
KK: omfg... YES! FREEDOM! This is the first time I got the time to write ever since June. -cries- I'm so happy right now. XD And I do hope all the readers will forgive me for the uberuber late update! I tried to write, but with all the homeworks, all my ideas turn crappy when I convert them into words... And I am also sorry if this chapter is crappy and does not make up for the time that I made you all wait, but I do hope that this will be enough until I get another period of time to write chapter 15. Hope you all forgive me. -sweatdrop-
I've been itching to write... ANYTHING... and now I finally got to write! -is happy- :3 once again, thank you to all reviewers and please do bear with me! I'll try to keep up! Thank you!
