Thanks to everyone that reviewed! And congratulations to Cute Beyblader who got the 200th review! Let's try and get this fic to 500 by the time I finish! And I mean all you freeloaders out there that are reading and not reviewing, I have about 30-40 of you! So why don't you all review? I could care less if it's anonymous or signed! Sorry I haven't updated for a while, but my computer crashed and unfortunately I lost everything…including all my music.
n-chan- I'm sorry that I'm not coming up with my own plot, but I also have another fanfiction, Runaway, which is based on my own ideas, so you might want to go try that. But I wrote this fanfiction because I'm a big fan of both Meteor Garden and Beyblade, and I always wondered what it would be like if the two were combined…thus this fic was created.
RaineDancer – I'm sure that this fic seems familiar to you, and that's because I've based it on the Taiwanese drama show Meteor Garden, with Jerry Yen, and Big S. I'm sure many people have used this idea for fics, and I think I've mentioned that this fic was based on the Taiwanese version, which is also based on the manga "Hana Yori Dango", but I'm sorry if anyone missed that.
Disclaimer: I don't own the plot line or the characters except for Kira. This whole fanfiction is based on the Taiwanese Drama "Meteor Garden" which is based on the manga "Hana Yori Danga".
I hope that cleared things up for many people.
At the pastry shop...
"You tell me what that fellow is doing! BIG IDIOT! Just like that the two of them ran away hand in hand! So they knew each other already! And they put on such a surprise look in the beginning! Left me there all alone, no different than an idiot!" Salima watched helplessly as Kira let out a spaz attack.
"So that was what happened before?"
"Exactly! I saw it with my own two eyes! The two of them looked like they were filming a movie and it was like those modern love stories! Just ran away like that!"
"Kira, are you in a big shock?"
"Huh?"
"Because Tala has a fiancé." Salima elbowed him.
"How can it be? Why do I have to feel that it's a shock? I went because I wanted to end things with him. And now things are finally going to have a happy ending." Kira bit her lip and kept herself from turning red.
"But it seems like you are really mad."
"Do I? I am not! Why would I be mad? I'm actually very happy! But, Salima, I was feeling very bad toward you before. I shouldn't have left like that and left you here all by yourself. But it won't happen again. Things have ended now already. I'm finally free!"
At this moment, her cell phone starts ringing.
"It must be Tala calling. Hurry up and answer it. Eh, why aren't you answering it. Kira, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering the phone?"
"Why do I have to answer the phone? I don't have anything more to say to him anymore. Oh, wait. I should actually say congratulations to him! Tomorrow when I get to school, I have to face him and congratulate him! He now has such a rich and pretty fiancé!" Kira said putting on a fake smile.
Salima just watched the smiled on her face turn into a frown.
At school the next day, Kira and see Tala and B2 sitting there. She glares at him and starts to walk over in big strides.
"Kira!" Daichi came running.
Kira ignored him and place both hands on the table. "Tala Master! Congratulations on your engagement!"
Enrique and Johnny both looked over at the red head with a shocked and surprised look on their faces.
"Engagement?" Enrique spit out his coke.
"With who?" Johnny punched Tala on the arm.
"I got led around and around in a circle by the bunch of you together yesterday!"
"What are you talking about? You saw how yesterday's situation was! You feel that I knew I about it before hand?" Tala stood and faced her.
"What are you guys talking about?" Enrique asked.
"It was all planned by the old woman!" Tala ignored the question and continued back to arguing with Kira.
"Oh? Really? Then why did you run off hand in hand with her so lovingly?"
"Listen to me, ok? It was a mistake!"
Johnny stood up "Hey, what exactly is going on?"
"Then tell me. How was it a mistake? Our hairstyle and clothes were so different! Are you blind?"
"Why are you so unreasonable, woman! I TRIED CALLING YOU YESTERDAY TO EXPLAIN BUT YOU WERE THE ONE THAT DIDN'T ANSWER!"
"Why should I answer your phone and listen to your nonsense? You're a man-whore, just like Enrique and Johnny! Do you really think that I don't know what you are thinking! You just want to treat me as the kind of woman that you play around with before you get married, right! LET ME TELL YOU! YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG PERSON! I'M GOING TO CUT OFF ANY RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!"
"I.. Wait a minute!" Tala grabbed Kira's arm before she can walk away.
"Get away. GET AWAY!" She turned around to kick Tala on the shin. "Kira!"
"Engaged? Tala is engaged? Really? Doesn't he want Kira anymore? Right, right." A random student whispered.
"YOU GUYS SHUT UP! YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH!"
Daichi casually reaches over and starts to eat the apple that was on Tala's plate.
"What the heck is going on?"
Daichi said with his mouth full "I don't know. Maybe this fellow was dumped by Kira."
"You Fucker! Who told you to eat my apple!" Tala grabbed the front of Daichi's shirt.
Getting more ticked off by the second he flings Daichi aside and stormed away.
By the lockers later...
"Aston Corporation's daughter? Is it the one that works with America's petroleum empire and has a pretty good relationship on trades on both sides of the shore? Amazing, amazing!" Enrique placed a hand on his chin.
"Very impressive! Just like Tala's family. Even the picking of the in-laws is definitely not the same." Johnny commented.
"Under our Ivanov Corporation's enterprise, petroleum is the only business that we are missing. Can't believe that the old woman could think of something like this!" Tala punched a nearby locker.
"Your mom is really sneaky in thinking up of things like this. I think that if you guys got married, then your ceremony would definitely not be anything less than a ceremony for the royal family." Enrique teased.
"Shut your trap! Why the hell would I get married with her?"
"Why do you say that? Eh, is she hot or not?" Johnny nudged Tala.
"Hot! As hot as a pig! She looks like a fucking monkey." Tala yelled.
" No need to spaz Tala. Why would she be a monkey? Does she look like one?" Johnny asked in amusement.
"She was like a monkey when she jumped on my back and my ear..." He breaks off as he gets embarrassed just thinking about what happened.
"Ear? What happened to your ear?"
"Why is your face getting red?"
"What business is it of yours! Out of my way!"
"What happened?"
"I don't know. But it seems quite interesting."
After storming away from B3, Kira is walking outside and venting to herself.
"Serves him right! Disgraced now? It has already happened and he still wants to sneak out of it! And said something about mistaking the wrong person? How the hell can he mistake a person? I'm not at all similar to that girl! Who mistakes a banana for a guava? Telling lies! Big liar! He actually has a fiancé! And they are so well matched too! Isn't this very good? Moreover, I had wanted to break off my relationship with him earlier anyway." She mumbled to herself and sees a short girl walking towards her. "What a fashionable girl. Looks so much like the girl from yesterday. It's really her!"
Matilda walked and then stopped and pointed at her. "Eh, isn't it you? We saw each other at the hotel yesterday. So, you are Bakuten's student also?"
Kira nodded.
"May I sit next to you?"
"Oh, please have a seat."
"Thank you. Bakuten is so big and has such a scholarly air to it."
"Are you here to look for Tala Ivanov, that idiot... er... that person? He's over there at the student's café." She told the girl.
"Oh, ok. In a minute. I was wondering what kind of a school a strange person like him studies at. I was just driving by and decided to stop by and take a look."
"Strange person?"
"Right! Don't you feel that he's very strange? Do you know the condition I was in yesterday? I didn't have a dime on me and I wasn't wearing any shoes. He actually ignored me and left! Would a normal person do something like that?"
Kira laughed, "He ignored you and left!"
"Right! Made my feet wore off the skin! I wasted a whole hour before I got back home. If I see him, I'm going to give him a good scolding!"
"Aren't you going out with him?" Kira asked suddenly realized that Tala wasn't lying.
Matilda raised an eyebrow. "Who dates when they meet each other for the first time?"
"Meet for the first time! But the two of you ran off together!"
"Oh, are you talking about that? I don't know why either. Maybe because he fell in love with me at first sight. Who knows."
Just then B3 shows up.
"HEY! Monkey! What are you doing in our school!" Tala shouted.
Matilda stood up "Monkey! You dare to call me a monkey! Yesterday it was all because of you that made my whole body hurt and my feet almost fall off!"
"Who cares about you? Let me tell you this first. Our engagement is cancelled! I won't agree to it even if I'm on my deathbed!"
"What big tone you are using, innocent young man." She put on a mischievous smile and walked over.
"What?"
"Ear. An innocent young man's whole face turns red after a bite on the ear." Matilda laughed.
"You bit him, on the ear?" Kira asked in shock.
Johnny and Enrique start laughing as they find the whole matter rather amusing.
"Ha, ha, ha! So that's what the ear thing is all about!"
"Aren't you too vigorous?"
"WHAT SHIT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Tala yelled.
He reaches over and attempts to punch Matilda, but he misses and she takes this chance to throw a punch back at him.
"From now on, I will use my identity as a fiancé to train you. Actually I quite like you!" She gave him a smile.
"What!"
"Anyway, no matter what, we would still have to get married. So, it won't hurt if I get into a relationship with you now."
"Marry? Won't hurt to get into a relationship?" Tala said as his breath began to deepen.
Enrique gave a look to Johnny before they quickly holds onto Tala so that he won't be able to hit Matilda.
"Eh! Tala, you better not make a move!"
"Right! She's still a girl!"
Tala struggles to get free "I won't hit a girl! Let me go!"
"Give me a break! I'm not going to believe you!" Johnny wrapped an arm around his arm and around held out against his chest.
"You've hit girls in the past before! Actually you'll hit anyone that gets in your way." Enrique laughed.
"You ugly woman!" Seeing that he can't punch him he raised a leg to kick her.
Matilda jumped back and places her hand on her hips "What ugly woman! I have a name! I'm called Matilda Aston!"
"I don't care what you are called! From the top of my head to my bottom, I don't want to get in a relationship with you! I also don't want to get married with you either!"
She laughed "Don't you mean from the beginning to the end?"
B2 both laugh at Tala's wrong use of grammar again while trying to hold onto him.
Tala was outraged by now "You're trying to control me? You…"
Johnny, who was still laughing at the whole situation, calls out "Kira! Take this girl off to some other place first!"
"Hurry up!"
"Let go, you guys!"
Kira nodded and walked over the Matilda.
"Hurry, hurry!"
Tala shouted "You stand right there! I'm not finished talking yet!"
"Let go!"
Kira pulled Matilda away.
Walking away from B3…
"I forgot to tell you that I'm Matilda Aston." She said cheerfully.
"Kira Tagoshi" She looked at the cheerful girl.
"Eh, let's go shopping, ok?"
"Shopping? There's no need. I'm very tired. Besides, we don't know each other that well."
"Why does that matter? We'll get to know each other if we hang out. Furthermore, I need your opinion."
"How can I give you any opinion?"
"You can. Some very important opinions. Let's go."
At a shopping boutique, Matilda is standing in front of a mirror wearing a dress while a sales girl is standing next to her.
"Well? Does it fit?" The sales lady asked.
"Not bad. But it seems to be a bit too big."
Kira is sitting aside and waiting for Matilda.
"Kira Do you think this one looks good?"
I think that you look good in each one of them. But haven't you bought enough already?"
"Because I want to dress up a bit and make Tala notice me. Alter it a bit smaller for me. You know him longer than me so that's why I need you to give me some very important opinions. Um, Kira. Let me ask you. Do you know if he likes the neutral dress type or the sexy dress type or the young dress type?"
"I don't know. I think the only person that he likes in this whole world is himself. He shouldn't be taking notice in how girls are dressed up."
"Really? What fun. Then I would definitely make him take notice of me!"
She hands the dress over to the salesperson and then runs over to sit next to Kira.
"His type of guys is very rare. I've decided already. I'm going to conquer his heart! In the beginning, I thought that my father was introducing me to those types of idiot wealthy guys, but I found out that Tala's not too bad. He's actually pretty good. So if I give up like this, then it seems such a pity. So I've decided that I will put everything I have into this relationship."
"Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me." Kira put on a fake smile.
"Right. You're right. Kira, sorry. It must be that I'm an only child so I'm a bit opinionated. That must be why I can't make any friends."
"It doesn't matter. I don't have any friends in Bakuten either."
"Sorry to be giving you so much trouble."
"Not at all. Actually it isn't any big trouble."
"Then are you willing to help me?"
"Ok."
"That's great!"
"What type of help are you talking about?"
"Don't the dramas on television always have something like this? And that is good friends sharing the headaches of their relationships. From now on, I can tell you the secrets in my heart. And you can give me some advice. So of course I'm happy! From now on, if I encounter any problems with Tala, I will come and find you."
"But…"
"But what?"
"It's a little hard to say. And that is… Tala has said that he likes me in the past." Kira lowered her head.
"Really?"
Kira realized what she said and quickly clarifies "But of course I have no feelings for him at all."
"Then there's no problem! From now on, you can say some nice words about me in front of him. And that would make him give up on you. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
"Miss, your dress has been altered." The saleslady walked up to them.
"Good. Thank you. Wait a minute for me."
Kira smiles and nods her head while Matilda goes to try on her dress again.
'How did things become like this? What exactly am I doing?'
While waiting for her, Kira gets up from the seat and walks around the shop. Seeing a shirt that she likes, she walks over to it.
"Such a pretty shirt. It seems like it's been a year since I have bought new clothes.
Wow, this set costs more than $2,000." She mumbled.
Matilda walks over in her dress and sees Kira standing by the shirt.
"This one looks very nice. Miss, can you wrap this up for me?" She took the shirt that Kira was looking at.
After shopping, they are walking through the streets.
"Today was such a happy day! Shopping can definitely make one's mood feel very happy."
"You are the only happy one. Moreover, being a rich girl like you why would you have any stress?"
"Why wouldn't I? I have to learn a whole bunch of things when I'm at home. Moreover, being in school is so boring. But good thing that I have someone I like now. I have a feeling like I'm in a relationship."
"Really?"
"I'm thinking. If I can really conquer this arrogant guy, then being the woman that I am I would have some accomplishments!"
"Oh."
"Eh, Kira. What about you? Do you have someone you like? It can't be Tala?"
"Of course not! I don't like him!" Kira replied a little too fast.
Matilda signs in relief. "That's good. Then do you have someone that you like?"
"Not at this moment."
"Not at this moment? Then that means that you have in the past. What kind of guy was he?"
"Him? He's very quiet. He's really cold towards people, always have a blank stare and kind of a slow-witted." Kira said as she finding the image of the two-toned blue-haired boy in her mind.
"Slow-witted? Cold? The type of person that you like is very strange."
"The type that YOU like is strange." Kira said referring to Tala, but then said quietly. "Actually it can't be said that he's slow-witted. I should say that when I'm with him, I would become a bit slow-witted, and very light-headed"
"Then I think that it must be that you feel very comfortable, very relaxed when you are together with him. I think that is very important."
"Really?"
"Kira. Perk up a bit! You can find some guy that would be much better than him! If I was a guy, I would definitely like a girl like you." She winked.
Kira laughed "Thank you."
"Then if you were a guy, would you like a girl like me?"
"Ummm…" She pretended to think a bit.
Matilda pouted "Why do you have that kind of response!"
"Eh, I'm just joking. Don't be upset."
"I'm just playing with you. This is for you. Thank you for going out with me today. Bye bye."
"This was the shirt I was looking at before. I can't accept an expensive present like this!" She yelled at the already walking away girl.
"It doesn't matter. I think that the shirt is really suitable for you. It would look very good on you when you wear it. Moreover, I really want to be friends with you. I'm leaving now. Bye bye."
Kira stands there as Matilda walks away.
That night, she walks home and finds Tala standing they're waiting for her.
"Come with me."
They go off to a small hut in the middle of the park's lake.
"So, nothing happened on that night. I won't see her again. Didn't I say it already? I will make the decisions in my life. I won't let my mom get involved with my decisions. Are you listening to me?" Tala looked out against the water.
"Yes." She quietly said.
"Then why do you have that kind of expression on your face? I've already explained everything to you! Can't you put on a happier expression!"
Kira doesn't say anything and then sneezes.
"What am I going to do with you? Recently, the weather has been cold one minute and hot the next. Especially at night. Don't you know to wear a bit more clothes? Here."
He drapes his jacket over her shoulders and fusses around while Kira stares at him.
Kira took off the sweater "I'm fine. You take it back."
Tala takes it and tries to put it back on her shoulder "Are you crazy! Just keep it on!"
"I told you I'm fine. Take it back! Stop taking care of me!"
"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Tala glanced curiously at her.
Kira doesn't answer, just gets up and walks away.
Kira gets up and picking up her shopping bag, walks after her "Hey!"
"I was with Matilda all day today. In fact, we're good friends now." Kira turned around and explained.
"Why were you together with her!"
"Actually, in the beginning, I thought she was a very tyrannical person, but now I feel that she is a very good person. She's very considerate toward other people too. Furthermore, she's tall and her qualities are good. She's a girl with lots of glamour."
"What's this?" He held up the shopping bag.
"Matilda gave it to me."
"What's the meaning of this? One piece of clothing and she was able to bribe you! You want clothes, I can buy it for you! Why do you have to take her gift and speak up for her?" Tala threw the bag aside and demanded.
"Don't seize upon an incident and make a such a big fuss, ok! That piece of clothing is not the main point! The main point is that I feel that Matilda is really putting her heart into dating with you! Besides, she takes the matter of your engagement with her very seriously! Besides..."
"Besides what?"
"Besides, you guys are of the same class in society. Your mom also likes her very much. I also feel that the two are of you are very compatible. Just try to date with her! You don't have to say anything! Do you know that your feelings make me feel a lot of pressure? Furthermore, there is no possibility that I can be together with you! Matilda has so much good qualities, you should just go out with her! Don't come and find me anymore!" She shouted at him.
Tala stared at her in anger, before he could control himself he slapped Kira across the face. He stood there looking at her for a few seconds before walking off into the dark night.
With eyes filling with unshed tears, Kira looks out into the dark night and stares after Tala's back. As she stood there, it suddenly starts raining.
'I hate guys who hits girls. But each time, I would make the situation turn worst. Each time I would provoke him to raise his hand to hit me. Each time it is like this. I would open my big mouth, and say something I don't mean. It's the same situation every time. Even God is telling us to stop arguing.' She looked at the raining sky.
Kira continues to stand there in the rain, silently crying as her tears merge with that of the falling rain.
B3 is sitting at Tala's house and talking about the whole problem.
"Things have come to this already. Shouldn't we do something?" Enrique suggested.
"Even though I really don't like this type of girls, but there's nothing I can do about it."
"What are you talking about?" Kai looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"We're saying that we have to go after this Matilda Aston so that she would stop pestering Tala."
"Are you listening to us at all? Even though you weren't there today but we've just told you everything that happened. The fiancé that dowager empress appointed, from the looks of her, she seems to have accepted this marriage."
"Moreover, there seems to be some misunderstanding because of her between Tala and Kira. Shouldn't we come out and help Tala to solve this problem?"
"I see." Kai nodded.
Johnny sighed as Kai finally seems to be on track with everything they are talking about.
"Would you help? If the three of us take action, there should be at least one of us that would attract her attention."
"Don't even think about it. This is Tala's family's problem. If the 3 of us gets involved in it, it'll be worse." Kai closed his eyes.
"Our purpose is to make things more complicated." Johnny threw up his hands.
At this moment, Tala walks into the room completely drenched.
Johnny looks up and sees him standing there.
"Tala, what happened to you? Why are you soaking wet?" B3 starts to walk towards them.
"Did something happen to you? Why do you look like shit?"
Without answering, Tala turns and walks up the stairs.
"Tala" They yelled.
Upstairs in his room, Tala sits on the bed and stares at the hand that he used to slap Kira
'I hit her again. I said I wouldn't hurt her, instead I hit her again. Maybe this is the end for us.'
Tala leaned back against the head bored as he tried to control the hurt that's piling up inside of him.
A tired Johnny and Enrique are walking in the streets. Enrique is carrying lots of shopping bags while Johnny is carrying two teletubbies and a bunch of balloons.
Enrique said "This monkey is really named correctly for her strength and stamina!"
"First we went to the theme park. Taking those roller coasters until I nearly threw up. Then we went to the mall to go shopping. And now she says she wants to come see a movie. I'm so tired." Johnny wailed.
"Buying jewelry and clothing is fine but she still made me go with her to buy underwear! And then to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins! And she bought packs of them too! We are totally disgraced!" Enrique pouted.
"Then what about me? I'm Johnny McGregor. Have you ever seen me carrying this kind of stuff?"
Enrique still has the strength to laugh at the flame head.
Suddenly Matilda walks back to them.
"What are you guys chatting about? Are you talking bad things about me behind my back?" She asked giving them a sly grin.
"Of course not!"
"Er, we were just discussing which movie you like to see."
"No need to discuss. I've decided already. Let's go see Lover's in the Snow Ground, ok?"
"Hmm, ok."
"I'll go buy the tickets." Johnny left rolling his eyes. 'Chicks…'
He starts to walk off and then stares at the two teletubbies in his arms. Smiling, Johnny looks over at Enrique who gives him an exasperated look and then takes the stuff for him.
"Thanks for your hard work."
After getting the tickets...
"I got bought them. There's still 20 more minutes."
"Even though this movie is very good to see, but I feel that the two of you seems to be very tired. If you watch this literature film, you guys might fall asleep. Why don't we change to watch an action movie?" Matilda smiled happily.
Enrique forced a smile on his face. "Johnny, if Matilda says that then let's see the movie that we were going to see last time."
"Speed?"
"Right. is that ok?"
"Ok."
She hands the tickets back to Johnny
"Then I'm off to buy the tickets."
"Ok."
Johnny once again hands off his stuff to Enrique to hold.
"Bye bye."
Johnny walks away with an expression that's like he's ready to kill someone.
"Oh, so you guys wanted to see that movie? Not bad. It's also very good. Do you know? It's been a while since I came out to see a movie. Because my dad says that if I like to see movies, then he'll just get all the equipments set up at home so that I don't have to come out so often."
"But seeing a movie at a movie theater has it's own pleasures too."
"Right, right. For example I can eat ice cream and watch the movie at the same time. That's so great!"
"Then do you want to eat. I'll go buy it."
"Ok, ok."
"Wait a minute."
He starts to walk off and then realizes that he is carrying all this stuff in his hands.
"Do you need me to carry some things for you?"
"Forget it."
"I bought the tickets. Where's Enrique?" Johnny came back.
"He went to buy ice cream. He'll be back in a bit."
"Oh, then where are the things?"
"He took it with him."
"He took all the things with him to..."
His voice trails off as Enrique comes back with all the things.
"May I trouble you?"
"Not at all."
Johnny helped Enrique take some of the things off his hands. Enrique holds the ice cream cone out to her.
"Chocolate? I forgot to tell you that I only eat strawberry. I'm allergic to chocolate. Why don't you eat it yourself?"
A girl walks by at this moment and Enrique runs after her.
"Miss! I can't help it but want to treat you to an ice cream cone. Because you are just too cute." He put on a charming smile.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Oh, then thank you."
"I found out that you guys really have a way with girls. Being with you guys is so great!" Matilda cheered.
"As long as you are happy, we are very willing to come out and hang out with you."
"Really? But won't you guys feel that it's very boring? Being together with me, where we go, what we eat, it's all decided by me."
"Not at all. If you are happy, then we are even happier. Even though we are a bit tired, but it's all worth it."
"You guys are so gentlemanly that it makes me feel so ill at ease. Then if I say I don't want to go see a movie now, you guys won't be mad?"
"Er… no. Of course not. Why would we be, right?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to go look for Kira."
"Kira?" Johnny said in surprise.
"Ok. She seems to be working now."
"Then let's go."
"Ok."
She walks off and Johnny and Enrique are making angry gestures behind her back.
Arriving at the pastry shop...
"Welcome!"
"Hi."
"We're here."
"Eh, why are you guys here? And why is it that you 3 came together?" Kira asked in surprise.
Enrique dropped all the toys on the seat and stretched him arms. "We just went on a date."
Then they both fell down on to the seat with a sigh of relieve.
"Date? You 3 went on a date? Why is it a group like this?" Kira asked.
"They came to pick me up at the school today and said that they want to bring me out to play. So I went with them. Later we went to the theme park. Then to the coffee shop for afternoon tea. Then went to two Sogo shops. Then we went to the movie theater to see a movie. But we couldn't make up a mind on what to see, so we came over here to find you." Matilda said, it was amazing that the girl still had energy left.
"Kira We've been hanging around with her a whole day."
"Do you know? Don't mention about going out and buying things, but I've went on the roller coaster with her 5 times! Made me almost threw up." Enrique pouted.
"Weren't we sincere enough?"
Kira laughed at Enrique's face "But why? Why do you guys have to be like this?"
At first, I thought it was strange too. But later I found out that it was because they wanted me to give up Tala, so that's why they purposely came to ask me for a date."
Johnny and Enrique let out a groan and both looks at each other, stunned that Matilda saw through to their plan.
"What? Why?"
"You saw through to our plan?" Johnny yelled.
"I'm not being narrow-minded. I saw through to your plans early on. But, it's such a pity that you both are not my type." Matilda winked.
"You did it on purpose? Earlier you were making all those impossible requests, bought the movie tickets but you won't go see, bought ice cream and you won't eat." Enrique wailed and let out a scream.
"Who told you guys to try to trick me in the first place?" Matilda stuck out her tongue and ignored the evil glare that B2 was sending them.
Enrique complained "Miss! True, our motive was a bit wrong, but we weren't thinking about doing anything bad."
"Right."
"An extra choice or two for you to think about, you're really not at a disadvantage."
"Fine. If that's the case, but I am still choosing my fiancé, Tala. You guys are so boring, I swear you get whipped by your girlfriends, and beside you got no strengths at all, always complaining that you're tired." Matilda rolled her eyes.
"What! I'm not being whipped! What do you know, women?" The baby blonde stood up and yelled.
"And I am strong, stronger that then your lanky fiancé anyways." Johnny said outraged.
Matilda laughed and ignored the two mad boys and instead turns to Kira. "Kira. Don't you think that these two guys are so boring? They think that I'm the type of girls that don't have any opinions and that I don't truly like Tala. So that's why they come up with this stupid method and thought that they might be able to test my feelings." She then stuck out her tongue at them once again.
"You guys want to come between me and Tala? Hell no! The things that I've bought, why don't you guys just take it all to those other girls. Thank you for accompanying around today." Matilda waved goodbye to Kira before walking out the door.
"Kira. She is Tala's fiancé?" Salima finally spoke up.
Kira nodded.
Enrique stood up, holding out the bags of toys. "Salima. If you don't mind it, then those things are for you."
"There's also lots of packs of sanitary napkins. Take your time in using it. Don't know if you use it or not." Johnny smirked and him and Enrique walked out the door.
"Eh. Why did you guys do that…" Kira asked.
"What do you think?" Johnny yelled back.
Meanwhile, Kai was walking slowly, taking his time walking to the Ivanov mansion.
He opened the door and walked to the office down the hall. Stepping in the room he spoke in a cold tone. "Mrs. Ivanov."
Tatiana turned around from looking out the window and strictly replied "You came."
"Yeah. Why?" Kai spoke, trying to use the smallest sentence imaginable.
"Not much of a reason. I haven't had a chance to chat with you guys this time that I came back. So I specially asked you to come over today to see you. Kateena brought back a whole bunch of red wine last time when she came back. I was worried that no one would drink it with me. Come, come, come. Drink a few glasses with me. Sit." Tatiana put on a smile that screams fake, and invited Kai over to the table. Kai hesitated and glared at her before walking over to sit.
Kai avoided eye contact with the dowager empress as the maid walks over and pours them wine.
"Well? How've you been this year?" Tatiana causally said.
Kai just shrugged.
"Come, let's have a drink." She held up her glass.
Kai didn't return the action, and instead just drunk from his glass.
"Hm...This is a great tasting wine. Kai, I've watched both you and Tala grow up."
Kai just nodded, continue to take sips of the red wine.
"Watching you grow up, I'm understand very well, the relationship that's between you and Teng MingMing. This time, I took a flight to Paris. Before I came back, I saw MingMing. She told me that she wouldn't be coming back. You're smart Kai, you must have known. MingMing has always been a girl with her own views. She's also very clear with regards to her own future. Or else, you wouldn't have came back from France."
Kai looked at the older women. As he tried to ignore the past feelings he spoke softly. "Why bring her up now?"
"Is there something wrong with that? Could it be that MingMing's position in your heart has been replaced?"
"Meaning?"
Tatiana gave a laugh "Actually, Kira's feelings for you –I know quite a bit about it."
"Wrong. Kira like Tala." Kai stated harshly.
"That is what I'm so worried about. You are a smart person. You should know that it's because Kira wasn't going anywhere with you, that's why she turns over and started having feelings for Tala. Of course, that's not something that can be helped. But, Kai, have you thought that ever since he was young, Tala's personality has been so unreasonable? Moreover his possessiveness is very strong. Do you still remember? When he was young, he loves to take away your toys. He said he would take it and he will definitely take it. But once he gets it, within two days he will cast it aside." Tatiana swings the glass of wine back and force in her hands.
"Tala was a bully when he was small. That's all."
"I hope that's the case. But what I'm worried about now is that Kira is like the toys from the past. Once he's interest is perked, he will fight for it until he gets it. He still hasn't grown up yet and he doesn't know how to treasure things. I'm really worried that Kira would get hurt in the days to come. Once she's is within his grasp, he will dump her in the next minute." Her voice was about as fake as her face, and she pretending to worry about Kira's welfare.
"Never going to happen." Kai spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of angry.
"Of course, if that's not the case then it would be great. If not then Kira would be really very pitiful. In order to give up on you, she accepts Tala's pursuit. If she gets deserted by my son like this, then it would be such a pity for her. Right, Kai. I heard that your grandfather's Hiwatari Insurance Corporation, because of a recent setback in some investments, is now facing some big deficits. Do you know about this?" Tatiana fought back, using other tactics now.
"Not really." The two-tone boy now what she was going to say next, blackmailing/bargain was Tatiana's middle name after all.
"I was actually thinking, during the present time, your grandfather's deficit situation is very serious. If this crisis couldn't be overcome, then your Hiwatari Corporation could possibly not recover from this setback. I truly don't want to see this kind of ending. So... I am thinking that maybe I can be of some help. As long as you are willing to start all over with Kira again."
