A/N Sorry for the wait, but I haven't been in the mood for updatingsweatdrops. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Also, I'm thinking of going off the original MG storyline and adding my own twist, which would start…. Not in a while… but tell me if I should add the twist or stick to the original storyline, since the twist would throw the whole story off the original plot! R&R!

Back in MingMing's room, Kai suddenly pulled away from kissing her and stares at her face.

"What's wrong Kai?

"How come you don't mind at all?" He asked frowning.

"Kai. I really don't mind. In fact, I'm really happy. This proves that I am very important to you. I forgot that Kai is also a guy." MingMing answered placing a hand tenderly on his face.

"No. This isn't what I want." Kai shook his head, his blue bangs swaying.

"Don't worry. Some things are meant to be." She assured leaning closer to kiss him again.

"No! Don't do this." He pushed her roughly aside, getting up from the couch. Just then, a familiar redhead popped in the room, his two crimson bangs still swaying in front of his turquoise eyes.

"Come and have something to eat." He announced proudly.

He walked away the tension between MingMing and Kai. Once Tala left, MingMing got up from her spot and reached out to bush Kai's bangs out of his face, but Kai walked out quickly following Tala. MingMing sighed as she also followed suit.

Tala continued down the hall to wake everyone up.

"Hey, Johnny! Get up!" He walked next door and kicks the door, "Enrique! Get up! Hurry up! Come and have something to eat!" He shouted loudly as he continued down the row of cabins.

Finally, everyone on the boat came onto the deck, all in their nightgowns or wrapped in fancy robes. Tala, Daichi and Kira were setting a table in the middle of the front deck.

"God Tala, what's wrong with you?" Johnny demanded running a hand through his hair.

"Tala, what kind of joke is this? What exactly are you doing?" Enrique added.

"Come and eat the sashimi I caught!" Tala urged waving them over.

"I'm the one that caught it!" Daichi protested indignantly.

"Sashimi?" Enrique held up a hand dramatically to his head. "My God! You must have other things that you can do?" He stared at the slim redhead questionably.

"That's why I hate virgins." Johnny muttered quietly to his blonde friend, who laughed in return.

"HUH! Tala's still a virgin!" Hilary asked in disbelief loudly so everyone on the deck heard her.

Mariah covered her mouth with her hand to hide her laughing while Hilary jus stared at Tala with her eyes exponentiated several times their normal size.

"So what's the big deal with being a virgin? It's not like it's any of your business. Anyways, bring some chairs from over their over here." Kira said loudly, unconsciously standing up for her redheaded rival.

"Fine." The gang agreed, but not before some more snickers.

They all grabbed some chairs and set it around the table.

After a while, Kai came out and Kira sees him from where she's sitting. She quickly turns away and looks down, ashamed at what she saw earlier.

"Everybody eat. This is caught by us today." Tala offered proudly.

"Really?" Mariah asked with a wide smile.

"You caught it all by yourself?" Hilary asked genuinely amazed. It was known in by almost everyone the famous Ivanov heir hated to get his hands dirty, much less to laboring work, unless it was sports or something worth sweating over.

Kira turned her head and saw Kai all by himself

"Yeah. Give it a try." The redhead urged, practically beaming at his skills.

"This is so good!" Hilary exclaimed before taking another bite.

Kira slowly walked over to Kai slowly eating from a bowl with her chopsticks.

"What are you eating? Can I have a bite?" Kai asked

"I'll go get some."

She starts to turn back to the table, but Kai stopped her.

"No need. I'll share yours."

He reached over and took the fish from her chopsticks.

"Where's MingMing?"

"I don't know. Must be sleeping."

"Such a pity, you guys were disturbed." She stopped short as she silently cursed in her head.

"You heard?" He fixed his intent auburn gaze on her.

"I… I didn't do it on purpose! I just happened to pass by, so I accidentally… accidentally overheard. I know that you must feel that I'm a very annoying person. And hard to deal with and selfish. But, " She paused as she felt her eyes tear up a little, " please don't hate me. Even if I'm the only one that thinks we're rooftop buddies." She stared intently on her feet as she waited for

"If I hate you, then I wouldn't have saved you that day." He replied facing the sea again with his eyes closed.

Unknown to Kai and Kira, the conversation that they just had was once again being tape recorded by someone.

The next day, at the Ivanov mansion, the maids were vacuuming the living room and the Butler is making sure that they do a good job.

"Make sure to vacuum it cleaner!" He looked up and saw Tala about to come down from the stairs. "Hurry up, hurry up! Why is Master up so early today?" He turned around and greeted the young master of the house.

"Waking up early is good."

"Then Master, reporting to you. Are you having your breakfast in your room or…"

"Oh, I can eat here today. Sorry to trouble you."

"Oh, ok, Master. I'll go prepare for you immediately." The butler rushed off taken off by the answer.

A bit later, a maid rolled a cart out with Tala's breakfast.

"Master, breakfast is here. Made according to your taste."

The maid set the plate in front of Tala while the Butler took a fresh rose in a small vase from another maid and changes it with the rose on the table.

Tala took a bite of his breakfast and starts chewing.

Meanwhile, Kira got to school and was walking down the road toward her locker.

'I really don't want to come to school.' Kira thought to herself.

"Kira!" Daichi waved as he walked over.

Kira opened up her locker as she noticed her shoes were missing. "These bunch of bastards! This is my third pair already!" Kira shouted.

She slammed her locker with a huge bang.

"Didn't you say not to give up, have faith in life?"

"But shoes cost money. Even though one pair is only $29.90 but that's still money!" Kira whined.

"Yo Tagoshi!" Smug blue eyes danced with mirth behind her.

Kira turned around at his voice to find Tala leaning against the wall accompanied by Enrique and Johnny.

"Are you looking for these shoes?" He asked glancing down innocently at his feet.

"My shoes!" Kira exclaimed not so happily.

Tala had cut the toes of the shoes so they would fit his feet, with his socked feet sticking out.

"The new semester is only just starting and you are bullying me like this! YOU JACKASS!" She yelled as she stomped away angrily.

"Get away!" She angrily shoved Enrique as she marched past them.

"Kira! Wait for me!" Daichi yelled chasing after her.

" Did you see her angry expression?" Tala asked smugly nudging an annoyed Johnny.

"You woke us up so early in the morning, is for this?" He asked in disbelief.

"Eh, what do you think? I didn't sleep at all last night and thought up of this way to get at her." Tala asked Enrique.

Enrique held his head as though he couldn't believe it.

"This isn't some super practical joke, right?"

"No?"

He starts to walk away.

"Is this the way to show one's love? Isn't that a bit strange?" The blonde asked his friend skeptically.

"Where's Kai?" Tala asked turning back around.

"Aren't you fighting with him? What are you looking for him for?"

"We are B4. It just seems weird when we're missing a person."

Later, Kira goes up to the rooftop, looking for Kai but couldn't find him. As she stood there with a disappointed look on her face, Kai suddenly comes up behind her.

"Are you looking for me?"

Kira jumped a foot as she heard his quiet voice coming unusually close behind her.

"What's wrong? Saw a monster?" He asked with an amused smile.

"You scared me!"

"You were the one that was standing there staring blankly, that's why you got scared."

He walks over to the ledge and jumping up smoothly sits there on top. Kira stood there staring at him with a little smile on her face.

"What are you staring blankly at? Want to come over and sit?"

She walked over to him and tries to get up on the ledge. After attempting to get on, she still couldn't.

"Can you give me a hand? Thank you."

"Wow, I didn't know that looking at the scenery here on this side is so pretty."

She glanced over at the silent blunette. 'This is great. Even though we're not talking, this silence is so comforting' she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Tala is walking around school with two cans of soda and looking for Kai.

"Hey! Where's Kai?" He asked a nervous freshman.

"I… I seem to have seen him walking toward the rooftop." The tiny freshman squeaked.

"Rooftop?"

"Sorry, sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me for?"

A happy Tala walked away toward the direction of the rooftop while throwing a can of soda up and catching it back again and again with a smile on his face. When Tala reached the rooftop, he opens the door and steps out, and he sees Kira and Kai sitting on the ledge next to each other.

"I thought I won't be able to see you here again. Because I thought you would hate me. That's why I'm so happy right now." Kira said softly staring at Kai's profile.

It's like you to make such a big fuss over something so little."

"What I said is the truth. It could be that you don't know. There are simple things that are actually very important."

Standing to the side, Tala hears the whole conversation. As he stood there listening, he gets more and more angry by the minute. So violent is his temper that the soda can he was holding onto in his hand was crushed. Turning away from Kira and Kai, he opened the door back into the stairwell and walks away with a deadly look in his eyes and his muscles in his jaw twitching in untold anger. He walked to find Enrique and Johnny sitting around outside chatting to each other.

"Did you guys know that Kira and Kai constantly meet on the rooftop?"

"Really? Then it must have started from the day that Kai saved Kira." Johnny mused.

"It can't be." Enrique protested.

"Actually, Kira's in love with Kai. They're always meeting secretly on the rooftop among other places." Hilary said smugly walking up to them.

"Things are actually very hot between them." She held up a camcorder. "This is the tape that I recorded last time. Do you have any interest to take a look?"

Tala took the camcorder from Hilary and looks at the recorded tape. It showed all the times that Kira and Kai have been secretly taped. As Tala watched the tape, his temper just kept rising higher and higher.

"We cannot tolerate that she is two-timing Kai and Tala." Mariah stated.

"That's right. Kira's such a slut, first kissing you then…"

With his anger reaching to its boiling point, Tala raised the camcorder high above his head and smashed it on the ground.

"Hey! That's my V8!" Hilary cried out.

"I can't believe the nerve of that girl. We tried to tell her that Kai was taken by MingMing, so she wouldn't have to face the agony of heartbreak, but after we told her she could never win Kai, she started sticking to you like glue." Mariah said softly gently caressing Tala's arm.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Tala shouted shoving Mariah away from him. Though thanks to Enrique's quick reflexes, he was able to catch Mariah before she landed unceremoniously on her ass. Hilary tried to run over to help her friend, but realized that in his present condition, Tala would also hit her. Johnny walked up behind Tala. "Don't hit girls." He warned quietly, but it was a threat no one would like to challenge.

Enrique and Johnny exchange glances when Tala remained silent, not even bothering to turn around to face them.

"What are you so mad for?" Enrique demanded. "You know Kai's feelings towards MingMing. There's so way he could fall for Kira, especially since she's not even much to look like." Enrique added the last part after some thought. "Come on, let's go get a drink, by treat." Enrique started pulling Tala's arm along with him.

"Remove your hand from my arm." Tala almost whispered, his voice way to calm for comfort, especially in the current situation. In fact, Enrique would be worried even if it were a normal day that Tala's voice was this calm and soft.

Enrique didn't remove his hand though, as Tala turned around and bright turquoise met baby blue.

"I told you to take your fucking hand off of me!" The redhead yelled this time.

Enrique's eyes widened, knowing know wouldn't be the best time to test his limits, so he removed his hand hesitantly, watching the redhead stalk off.

"Shit, this isn't good." Johnny commented. "He has that weird look in his eyes again. I remember only one other time when I saw that expression. And someone ended up dead because of it…" Johnny drifted off, scared for Kai, and whoever else got in the way of the deadly redhead.

R&R and tell me your opinion of the plot thing!
