Kai: Yeah like trying to pay up.
Leaha: Shut up they don't need to know.
Tala: What? That he actually sued you for everything you own and now you live in a cardboard box?
Leaha: Gee Tala. Thanks a bunch for telling them!
Kai: That's what you get for raping me.
Leaha: How many times must I repeat myself! You cannot rape the willing!
Kai: How can you call being tied to a bed willing!
Leaha: Depends on how you look at it. But that's okay payback sucks and I'm gonna make you suffer. Mwahahahmwahahahaha.
Calypso: Thank god that Leaha does not own Beyblade or anything else.
Leaha: I own you. Mwa ha haahahahahhah.
Calypso: Excuse me while I go kill myself.
Tala: Wanna get drunk first? That way you don't feel anything when you do it.
Everyone: glares at Tala
Tala: What? I'm just asking.
Chapter 4: Night at Hiwatari's house
Normal P.O.V. (Calypso)
I glared down at his hand before lifting my eyes to meet his gaze. His eyes grew wide for an instant with his pupils growing from fear. ( The guy wasn't high yet, so he still had some feeling.) However they quickly clouded with what looked to be hunger. Wow hold up! He better not be thinking what I think he's thinking. Oh hellllll no! Don't panic and punch him in the nuts Calypso. Calm down and act sweet, then kick his ass if he doesn't let go.
"Uh…..Hey Tala. What's the idea?" I asked sounding confused and innocent.
He didn't say anything, but pulled me closer towards him. I decided not to struggle so if need be, I could get a good hit on him.
"You're a temptation to me, and I feel that I can no longer stand back and watch you." He told me looking into my eyes.
He looked desperate and lonely, I almost felt sorry for him. Heh almost.
"Sorry Tala, but I'm not interest….."
My sentence was unfinished due to his lip meeting mine. For the first couple seconds I kinda enjoyed it, at least until I felt a brick wall behind my back. I'm kinda claustrophobic so I immediately panicked. That and I knew what was going on. Putting my hands against his chest I pushed him away. He looked at me as if shocked that someone would deny him.
"As I was trying to say. I'm not interested." I informed him sternly.
"So Kai's the only one good enough for you?" he asked becoming annoyed.
I was still against the wall with nowhere to run. If this guy didn't back off soon I was gonna go crazy. Already my breathing was becoming heavy and for all I knew it could be turning him on even more.
"Look I gotta go." I stated trying to push past him.
He put his hand around my neck and pushed me back against the wall with a light THUD. Oh it was on. I swung my arm, right hooking him squarely in the jaw. It looked as though it didn't even phase him, because all he did was back hand me in the same place that I had just hit him. So I decided to kick him in the shins with everything I had. His leg buckled but it didn't stop him from hitting me again. There was a loud slap as skin collided against skin. Someone nearby must've heard that, but I paid not attention because I was already striking him again myself. My fist slammed straight into his eye, and he finally let go of my neck. With the chance I had opened for myself I bolted for the sidewalk away from the alley that I was in. Tala grabbed the hood of my hoodie and jerked me backwards hard. The back of my head hit the brick wall squarely on a soft spot of my skull dazing me. Being unable to move, Tala took the opportunity to get his hits on me. Twice I was punched in the face, once in the mouth the other in the same eye I had punched him in. everything became blurry before he jammed his fist into my stomach. Doubling over I hit the ground and blacked out.
Tala's P.O.V.
Kai, it was always Kai. All the girls wanted to be with him. That was my last nerve she had plucked before I went off. My mind was nothing but a red haze of fury. Things got even worse when she hit me, so I did the only thing I could think of, and beat the hell out of her back. It was weird though, how much better I felt every time I hit her. My point of view changed quickly after she just laid there on the ground, she wasn't moving, a couple cuts were on her face, and her blood was on my hands. To make matters worse a shadow loomed over me. I looked to see crimson eyes burning through me, and my death warrant was signed. Kai.
Kai's P.O.V.
I had decided to relax as soon as I reached home. Kicking off my shoes I walked upstairs and changed into my favorite baggy pair of jean shorts, that I used to skate in. Grabbing my board I ran back downstairs, before my grandfather caught me and forced the school books practically down my throat.
I skated around for about an hour and a half, when I spotted the name Takeshi on a mailbox. Immediately I stopped in my tracks and looked at the house. It was a pretty nice two story that looked like a newly restored twentieth century home. The thought of going up to the front door crossed my mind for a second until I shook it off. There was no way that I was gonna got to her. Time didn't matter, so I wasn't in a hurry to talk her into dating me. Turning my back on the house, my eyes grew wide as I caught a glimpse of Calypso before an unknown hand jerked her out of sight. My heart began to pound as my blood boiled with rage. Whoever it was, I was gonna kill them if she was hurt in anyway.
I crept over to the spot where she had disappeared from my sight. Half running, half walking I did everything not to make a single noise. The element of surprise was a specialty of mine, that I did not ever misuse. The sound of skin smacking against skin didn't make me feel any better, nor did the sight of Tala beating the shit out of Calypso appease me either. Seeing that made me lose all self-control and I stood in plain sight so I could see the look of horror on Tala's face when he turned and saw me there.
I looked at him with pure hatred trying to burn holes through the bastard. Dropping my skateboard to the ground, which had still been tucked under my arm, I ran at him and threw one of my best punches. The force of the blow snapped his head to the side and threw him off balance. He fell to the ground, but didn't stay there for long. I picked him up by the front of his shirt, and slammed him against the wall next to Calypso. Tala grabbed at my wrists trying to force me to release him. His attempts failed miserably and my grip tightened to the point that my fingernails pierced my skin through the material of his shirt.
"What the hell is your problem?" I asked half shouting.
" You." he replied driving his fist into my stomach, and knocking the wind out of me.
I stumbled backwards a couple of steps before catching him off guard and returning the blow. "I didn't do anything to you." I heaved still trying to catch my breath.
He swung at my face trying to give me a black eye, but I ducked just as his fist was only inches from my face. I felt his hand go through my blue two-tone hair. Seeing my chance I left hooked at him clipping his chin as he stumbled away from me.
"That's what you think." he said wiping some blood from the corner of his mouth with a shirt sleeve.
"How can you be pissed at me when I rarely ever speak to anyone?" I asked stepping back to put some distance between us.
"I heard you speak to her, telling her that I was dangerous, and how not to be caught alone with me." he said through gritted teeth informing me that he would try to strike again.
"The truth hurts, get over it." I replied coldly at him.
"Heh, yeah it sure does." he smirked looking at Calypso. " She's gonna feel pretty weak and helpless when she wakes up."
My eyes grew wide with shock as he spoke this. What was wrong with him? This wasn't the Tala I knew. Something was definitely wrong with him, but I couldn't figure out what.
Tala's P.O.V.
I felt horrible for what I'd done to Cal. It wasn't in me to be that truly heartless. What could I do? I couldn't change the past. This was for the best with what I had done. I had to protect my sister and family. Now that Calypso was down hopefully Volitaire would lay off when I gave him the money. I wanted to tell Kai, but I had no idea if anyone was listening. My head was beginning to ache as if someone had hit me in the back of the head with a sledgehammer. My emotions weren't helping much either; jealousy, anger, hatred. I fell to my knees with my hands trying to hold my head together. God it felt like it was falling to pieces. I needed to be alone and get away. Looking up I noticed Kai was closer. I didn't want anyone near me.
I didn't deserve to be treated like a friend. I lashed out at him colliding my fist with his bottom lip. Seeing him fall to the ground from my unexpected attack, I got up and ran never looking back.
Calypso's P.O.V.
Damn, that guy could throw a punch. My head was spinning harder and faster than anything else in the world, including one of those Beyblade things that I had seen on a cartoon show once.
I remember I had been dreaming about my parents, before they separated. It was weird how I could remember every detail after it had happened so long ago. Something cold and wet touched my face bringing me back to reality. It was a gentle and calm feeling as if someone who actually cared was looking after me. Wow, who would actually care about me anyway? I was weird and not the average type girl. Most chicks my age were into make-up, hair, and relationships. Heh, whatever. My unique hobbies were anime, reading, drawing, and occasional writing.
Deciding to take a chance and find out who it was, I slowly opened my hazel eyes and was surprisingly met by a pair of crimson ones.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I yelled rolling quickly away and falling face first onto a hardwood floor. Ow, that really hurt. Damn I'm an idiot.
"Smoothe." Kai replied not moving from the other side of the bed.
"Don't worry I'm fine." I grumbled getting up. I noticed his eyes a lot colder looking than when I had first looked up at him.
Thunder roared loudly outside breaking my thoughts and giving me a headache. I tried to ignore the pain, but the thunderstorm outside wasn't helping. Stumbling over to the bed I plopped down on it and cradled my head in my hands.
"You're stubborn, you know that?" Kai asked sitting beside me.
Wait a minute! I'm sitting on a bed, alone with Kai, in a house with a hardwood floor. Oh my GOD! I'm not in Kai Hiwatari's house am I? Lifting my head slowly I looked at my surroundings. Fuck. Yep, that's exactly where I was. Hell still has yet to freeze over, or has it?
"Why am I in your house when mine was about two minutes away?" I finally had the nerve to ask him.
"Nobody was home, and going through someone's personal belongings isn't my style." he answered with no emotion.
"Wow, so your not as heartless as you pretend to be." I pointed out to him.
His eyes narrowed at me before he got up and walked out the room. Making sure he was gone, I stood up and walked to the window beside the bed. Listening to the sounds of rain I watched lightning streak across the sky. What was I going to do? My father wouldn't be home till about three in the morning. I saw a clock out the corner of my eye that read 8:45 on it. I sighed and carefully leaned my head against the window so as not to make my headache worse.
" Here." Kai said
I jumped back. Man he was too quiet. My hip hit the corner of his nightstand and I winced as another sharp pain was added to my collection. I was on a role today when it came to injuries. I think I deserve a perfect score for clumsiness and stupidity.
"I'm not gonna stand here forever." Kai replied
Looking down I finally noticed he had his hand extended toward me with a couple of pain pills nestled in his palm. Yes, I couldn't help but greatfully take them, and the glass of water that he offered. Chugging them down along with the water I sat back down on Kai's bed. Don't ask why the answer is perfectly clear.
"Thanks." I finally told him.
"What made him so ticked off at you?" Kai asked sitting next to me. Thank you lord for the two inches of space.
"The fact that I prefer to stare at a brick wall than listen to him." I said smartly.
He narrowed his eyes at me knowing that it wasn't everything. Sighing heavily about the silent battle I was losing I went ahead and told him what happened. The silent type are very persuasive if they look at you the right way.
"That explains, why he looked pretty messed up before I got a hold of him." he said as I finished my story
"What?" I asked snapping my head around. Ow. Pain pills not working fast enough! I clutched my head and laid back across his bed. My brain hurt, gee I really do have a brain.
"You heard right." he replied looking down at me.
That was when I noticed for the first time that there was a fresh cut on his lip. Without even thinking I sat up and put the tip of my thumb on it. My thumb stroked across it lightly. Oh yeah the pain pills are working now! I realized what I was doing and immediately stopped putting my hands at my sides with my head turned away. Why hadn't he stopped me? That was really awkward.
" I need to go." I said beginning to stand.
"No." he said grabbing my elbow. " It's too dangerous, and I'm not risking my neck for you again." He didn't look directly at me as he said this, but the harsh tone was definitely back.
Gee, moody much? Sensitive, cruel, and hides emotions too. That's a real man there for yah.
"I'm a nuisance to you. The tone of your voice even says it." My voice was unusually sweet and innocent. Damn those pills for working so well!
"Hn. If you were really as bothersome as you say, I'd be letting you go." he informed me looking directly into my eyes.
Wow his eyes are awesome to look into. Damn pills or is it really me thinking this? Aw hell I'll blame the medication for now. We looked at each other like that for a couple minutes before we both blinked and turned away.
"If you say so." I mumbled low under my breath.
"Are you hungry?" he asked
"Sure." I said still not looking at him.
"I'll go get something from the kitchen then." he said leaving me.
After he was gone I realized I had been holding my breath for a few seconds. Letting it out slowly I laid back down across the bed. It was nice and fluffy and smelled nice too. My head was getting dizzy and it almost looked as though the ceiling was spinning. Unable to fight against myself any longer, I allowed my eyes to flutter shut.
Kai's P.O.V.
She looked like a young goddess laying there on my bed. I was hoping the pills would knock her out. She seriously needed to just sleep on the earlier events of the day giving me time to calm myself down. Literally. Clearly, I had not been thinking when I brought her to my house. Neither on what to say as well. They'd keep her knocked out for a couple of hours, giving me the opportunity to come up with a plan.
I paced around my room until my legs were almost numb. Laying across my bed, I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at the ceiling. Then it dawned on me that I was laying beside her on my bed. Where was my intelligence and self-control? She stirred in her sleep, rolling onto her side and closer to me. Uh um.. I can't move my body away from her yet my mind is ordering it to.
"Tyson and Ray would have a field day if they ever found out about this." I said to no one in particular. Then the room blacked out of my vision.
A voice broke into a strange dream that included Calypso. My eyes shot open as I realized I had fallen asleep.
"No. Stop." Calypso said still asleep.
While I had stupidly slept, she had gotten closer and was now hugging my arm.
"You bastard, I'll kill you."
What the hell was she dreaming of? Hey, where's she putting my hand! Oh god no! I tugged at my arm, trying not to wake her, but the girl had a grip that turned her damn knuckles white! Still, I couldn't ignore the fact that every time she spoke, she pulled my arm even closer against her body.
Oh man why did I have to give her those pills! What the hell was she doing now? Is that her tongue stroking my arm? Hey, that feels…Ah no!. Must. Get. Away.
"Come on Calypso, let go of me." I muttered.
She was way stronger than I had first thought. Anyone could easily underestimate her. Can my arm get any closer? Hopefully not.
"Why?" Calypso asked
Was she doing this on purpose? As I thought this my arm was pulled even closer to her, proving me wrong on if she could get me any closer. My hand was officially between her legs, my elbow buried in her cleavage, and my shoulder was now being nibbled on. How much more can I take?
Ch.4 is over. Is she really dreaming or is Calypso drugged and horny? You'll have to wait for Ch. 5 in order to find out! Please review!
