Chap. 23 : It's been a long time
Kai's POV
I woke up only to find Carol taking a nap on the couch.
' She looks peaceful.' I thought. I headed to the kitchen to get a snack then only will I start training. As I went out of the kitchen, I noticed something different about carol. I eyed her and noticed that she's gone skinny. Even her bones were starting to show. After some thinking, I decided to cook her a meal. I got up from the bed and took out some ingredients.
Carol's POV
I was sleeping soundly when a smell went by my nose. It was fragrant.
' What smells so nice ?' I thought as I stretched my arms and legs, heading towards the kitchen. When I went in, my eyes almost popped out of its socket. KAI WAS COOKING ! Kai, a rich guy that has NEVER done any house chores, cooking ?
Normal POV
' Kai, a rich guy that has NEVER done any house chores, cooking ?' thought carol.
" Kai, why are YOU cooking ?" she asked, shocked.
" Sit down." Ordered Kai.
" Excuse me ?" blinked carol.
" I said sit down." Repeated kai, slightly irritated.
" Why ?" asked carol suspiciously.
" Because I ordered you to." Said Kai. He was now pouring veggies into the wok.
" Okay." Said carol as she sat down on the chair, " But at least tell, me what in hell's name are you doing. And why are you COOKING ?" Asked carol. Her jaws were on the edge of her face, ready to drop anytime now. Kai was silent and continued cooking.
" Here you go." Said Kai as he placed a dish in front of carol.
" You still haven't answered my question yet." Said Carol suspiciously.
" Eat. You're as skinny as a bamboo stick." Commented Kai, grabbing a sheet of newspaper as he sat down opposite of Carol to start reading. But he would steal a glance from carol every few seconds.
" The food's getting cold." He said.
" Why should I ?" protested Carol.
" Because I said so." He replied firmly.
" Oh yeah ? Well, Mr. Bigshot, I'm not hungry." She replied.
" The food's not poisoned you know." Informed kai.
" But I'm not hungry. Why do you care anyway." Said Carol.
" Reason number 1 : It's my duty as captain to make sure that my teammates are growing healthy, 2 : Because you're my teammate." Said Kai. If it weren't for the newspaper blocking Kai's face, Carol could have seen that Kai was blushing slightly.
" Okay." Said Carol as she pinned her fork on theveggie and took a bite out of it.
" How was it ?" asked kai.
" Nice. Didn't know that you can cook. I thought most males can't cook. ( With the exception of Ray. )" said Carol, chewing on the food.
" Family recipe." Replied Kai simply.
" Oh." Said Carol.
Moments of silence was given to our two young teenagers. Soon, it was broken by Carol.
" So, what are you going to do later ?" she asked with interest.
" Training."
" Can I train with you ?"
" I don't mind a rematch." Smirked kai as he put the newspapers down.
" Deal." Said carol as she placed to plate in the sink and headed for the stadium with kai for a rematch.
( At the stadium … )
" Ready Kai ?" asked Carol as she stepped into position and took her launcher out.
" Ready when you are." Smirked Kai.
" On my mark, 3."
" 2."
" 1."
" LET IT RIP !"
" C'mon Blazarine, give it your best shot !" yelled Carol.
" Dranzer, attack !" commanded Kai as Dranzer pushed Blazarine to the edge of the beydish. " I'm gonna win no matter what it takes." He said.
" Shut your mouth and let the blades do the talking. Blazarine, Fire Blast !" commanded Carol as Blazarine shot fire at Dranzer.
" Dodge it ! Now, use your Fire arrow attack !" commanded Kai.
The battle went on. Neither of the two blades were slowing down, they just kept on spinning and dodging each other attacks and continued attacking. On Kai's side, well, he was doing quite well although he still has cuts over his arms but carol, sigh. Her face and arms were covered with bruises and cuts, her clothes were torn but apart from that, she was in the lead.
" See that you're worned out." Smirked Kai.
" May I request that you focus on the battle ?" asked Carol sweetly.
" Whatever. Dranzer, Blazing Gigs !" commanded Kai.
" Blazarine, Fire Tornado Tsunami Blast !" yelled carol as both bitbeasts obeyed their master and mistress's orders. When the heavy smoke cleared, both blades were still spinning. ( OMG ! )
" What ?" said Kai, shocked.
Carol smirked.
/ Blazarine, are you ready to go /
/ I'm quite tired but I'm ready./
/ K. Here goes./
" Blazarine, FIRE TSUNAMI BLAST !" yelled carol before kai could even do anything. A ball of fire just appeared around the sparrow and became bigger and bigger.
" Dranzer, BLAZING GIGS AGAIN !" commanded Kai as the two blades crashed, sending smoke everywhere. By then, Carol was really, really worn out. She dropped onto her knees before the smoke had even ended, sweating and sweating heavily as fresh blood flowed out of her forehead and arms. Kai's condition was slightly better than Carol. He too, was panting and sweating but, he wasn't bleeding that much. When the smoke evaporated into thin air, the two blades stopped.
" Not another tie again." Muttered Carol as she looked up and saw kai looking at her.
" What !" she said in frustration and tried to get up.
" Nothing. Just surprised." He said, walking towards Carol as he reached out his hand to pull Carol up.
" Thanks." Blushed Carol, sitting down on a chair.
Kai sat beside her. " Remember the first time when we battled ?" he asked.
" Yeah. The results were the same as this time's until I beated you last time." Smiled carol as she recalled that memory.
" That wasn't counted." Said Kai in a monotone.
" Of course it was. You didn't see that look on your face when your blade stopped first." Giggled Carol as kai stared at her.
" You collapsed when you even didn't have the time to look at my face." He informed sarcastically.
" Oh yeah ? Mariah told me all this while you weren't here. Go ask anyone if you like." Shrugged carol.
Kai glared at her.
" What ! It's okay to lose. When you lose, you'll learn a few things too." Said Carol.
" Whatever." Was what kai said as the two teens stared into space.
" Hey kai." Said carol suddenly.
" Hn." Responded Kai to show that he was listening.
" It's been a long time hasn't it since we had a battle like that." Said Carol, smiling slightly.
" Yeah. That is a good point." Agreed kai.
" And one more thing." Said Carol seriously as she stood up.
Kai wondered what it could be.
" The bathroom's booked. By me. " she added as she ran off before Kai could even catch her. When Carol said that, Kai fell and raised his leg in anime style. ( And he won first prize for doing that too. Kai : None of your business and let's get on with the show. )
" HEY ! WAIT UP !" yelled Kai as he chased Carol, running off wildly, leaving smoke behind him.
-
" Ahh… It's SOOOOO refreshing. Isn't it Kai ?" smirked Carol. Kai and Carol were in the living room, cleaning the cuts they had during the battle after a refreshing shower.
" Shut the hell up and quick. I want to use the yellow lotion." He murmured darkly.
" Oi pal ! What's gotten into you ? You look like a bloody killer waiting to shoot bullets anytime." Said Carol with horror.
" Quit making funny faces and get on with it PRONTO !" yelled the captain.
" Okay okay ! Here you do Mr. sulky." Said Carol as she handed Kai the small bottle of lotion.
" You used quite a lot of it. It's not enough for me." Complained Kai.
" Oh yeah ? I have WAAAAAYYYY much more cuts than YOU do. What do you expect anyway. Buy a dozen of new ones ?" said Carol, slightly frustrated as she stuck a plaster on her arm.
" You stupid ! You can't do that !" yelled Kai when he noticed Carol sticking the plaster.
" And why not ? Mr. Bossy ?" asked Carol.
" The air won't go through and out. It'll get worse if it doesn't have air." Said Kai as if he was the teacher of the red-cross-society.
" What do you suggest I do now teacher." Asked Carol with a hint of sarcasm.
" Don't ask me. You should know." Said Kai as he continued applying the yellow substance on his skin.
" How should I know ?" said Carol.
" Baka." Said Kai.
" Baka yourself." Argued Carol.
Kai was frustrated. Perhaps it might be better if he told her just to keep her mouth shut so he could have some peace.
" Step no. 1, take a cotton wool, step no. 2, get another bottle of yellow lotion, step no. 3, apply it on your wound using the cotton wool." Said Kai with his teeth clenched.
" Thanks but, we have one more problem here. There's only one bottle." Said Carol in a monotone.
" Then go buy woman." Scolded kai.
" You expect me to go out there when I'm covered with scars ? People will think I'm a prisoner or whatever that escaped from jail after getting my punishment of the day !" Scowled carol.
" But hello ? This is health we're talking about. Not looks !" snapped Kai.
Suddenly, an idea struck Carol like lightning as she grinned at Kai. Kai felt uneasy.
" What are you gonna do ?" he asked, eyeing at her awkwardly.
" Since you have less scars, I think ……" grinned Carol.
" Oh no you don't." said Kai as a sweat trickled from his forehead.
What'sCarol gonna do ? DUNDUNDUN ! Keep a lookout for my next chappie. Cya !
