5 hours later "Finally. We're home." you thought, relieved. You had been shopping for forever. "Why do I have to go with Kai? Was he the only captain without a date?" you thought. "What about Midori? Who's she going with?" Once you got out of the lobby you ask, "Hey Midori, who are you going to the dance with?" "Oh, Ben wanted to go so I asked if he wanted to go with me since George is going with his girlfriend." she says. "Oh, well I'm gonna go to my apartment..."(Me: Yes you have an apartment about 10 minutes out of town.)"...to get ready." you say as you start to walk out. "Ok. I'll tell Kai where to pick you up at." You spun around and said, "What!" "I guess Mr. D forgot to mention it. Your date has to take you." Midori says smiling slyly. "You planned this, didn't you?" "What makes you say that?" Midori says innocently. You sigh and shake your head. "Whatever. Just tell him to be there by 7 ok?" Midori nods and walks off with the other girls following her. You walk to the garage. You decide to take your 88' red ford truck. (Me: That's the kinda truck I'm getting when I turn 16. ) You soon arrive at your apartment and go to the elevator. You press the 5 button and go up. You get off the elevator and walk to room 241 and unlock the door. As you walk in you notice the place is actually clean and then you see a not on the table. You pick it up and read it. It reads:
Kira,
I hope you don't mind but I had a
maid come and clean up the place. It was a mess. I don't know how you
live in it. Anyway, good luck in the tournement and give Leo one hell
of an ass kicking for me.
Walter
You smile abit. "He must have written this last week." you thought. Walter, at the age of 72, had always been there for you after you moved in. He wouldn't let anyone in you apartment without either you or him being there. You put down the note and headed to the bathroom. You turned on the water and let the bath fill up as you got undressed. As you did, you looked at your scar. "Wonder how I'm gonna cover that up." you thought. "You could cover it up with make-up on it." came a soft voice. "Wow. You're talking to me again. That's a surprise." (Me: BTW, you're in the bath already.) "It wasn't your fault. You were just upset." "Yea I guess..." "Did you tell Tala?" "Yea and he took it better than I expected." "What'd you think he was gonna do?" "Make a big deal about it and everything." "Oh. So are you excited about tonight?" "Drea you better not be thinking what I think you're thinking." "What? That you think Kai's hot and you wanna lock lips with him agan?" "Drea I'm trying to relax, not get nervous about tonight." "Fine. I'll leave you to your thoughts... about how hot Kai's gonna look at the dance." Drea says the last part quickly before she leaves. "Drea!" Buts she was already gone. "Damn bird. Now she made me nervous even if she is right." you say to yourself as you look at the clock and see that it's 6:15. You sigh and get out of the bath and go to your room. You brush your hair then blow dry it then brush it out again. You go get your dress and put it on. Then you put on some earrings, a little make-up on your face and scar, then you put on a necklace that was your mother's. It was 7 when you got done and the bell rang. "Hold on." you shouted as you put on your shoes. Midori had made you buy 1 1/2 inch heels. You walk over to the door and open it to see Kai. "Hey Kai. Ready to go?" you say as you close the door behind you and walk towards the elevator. Kai does nothing and follows you. Once you're in the elevator you look at Kai. You froze. Kai had on a white shirt and some black jeans. This made him look even more hot. You turn your head away and start blushing. "Get ahold of yourself Kira." you thought. Unknown to you, Kai was looking at you.
Kai's Point of View
Kai noticed Kira turned her head away and look at her. He couldn't help but admire her. The dress fit her just right and showed all her good points. Kai couldn't help but stare. He looked at her face and saw she was blushing. "She looks like an angel. No Get a grip Kai. You don't have feelings for her." Kai thought. Kai shoke his head to rid himself of these thoughts and saw Kira doing the same thing. The elevator stopped and The pair got off and went to Kai's corvet.
Your Point of View
FF to the dance You and Kai walked up to hte entrance and you took a deep breath. Kai looked at you weirdly. You just gave him a look that said 'don't ask.' He just shrugged and walked on in with you following beside him. Once you got in you saw Tala and a girl beside him. You and Kai walked over to them. Kai nodded to the girl and she nodded in return. You gave Tala a questioning look. He sighed and said, "Meg this is Kira. Kira this is Meg, my girlfriend." he said. You looked at the girl and studied her. She had dark brown hair with red tips and cold/distant gray eyes. (Me: Thanks to lpmeteora680 for letting me use Meg. You da bomb! Lol ) She looked familiar for some reason. Then it hit you. "Are you related to Tyson, by any chance?" you ask. She gives you a surprised look but recovers. "Yea. He's my brother." she replies coldly. You nod in understanding. You notice Kai's sitting down so you nod at Meg and go sit by Kai. You close your eyes then you hear a splash and open them. You see Tyson in the punch bowl and Tala and Meg are glaring him. Apparently he said something stupid. The Hilary starts lecturing about something and they throw her in too. Everyone started laughing, minus you, Kai Meg, and the other Demolition Boys. You just give them a weird look and close your eyes again. After a while you feel like someone's watching you so you open your eyes to see Midori and Ben watching you. "What do you want?" you ask coldly. "Just wanted to check up on you." Midori says sweetly. "Yea. We know you don't like to be around a lot of people in a small area." Ben says. "Hn." "Well later." Midori said as she and Ben walked off. You sigh and get up. You walk towards the table and get a glass of water. Then walked back towards your table. When you arrived at your table, you couldnt even stand five feet away from it. Girls were completely surrounding it. A smirk slowly spread on your face as you could see Kai looking pissed and girls hanging on his shirt. Now this was a new sight. One that was hilarious to you. "GO AWAY!" shouted Kai as he pushed his way threw the crowd of girls and headed in your direction. "THIS IS WHO IM GOING TO DANCE WITH!" he yelled to them as he dragged you onto the dance floor. You raised your eyebrow at him in question. "Shut up, it was to get away from them." he growled to you as the song switched to a slow song. 'The Dance' by Garth Brooks to be exact. Kai slowly took a step towards you. Slowly you put your hands on his shoulders as he placed he hands on your hips. Slowly both of you started to sway with the music. Both of you looked stiff and on edge as if you would run off at any moment. Slowly you relaxed as did Kai. You sub-consciously(sp?) put your head on his shoulder and close your eyes. Kai stiffens for a moment then relaxes and puts his head on top of yours. You both dance together and ignore everything else.
Tala's POV
"They look like a perfect couple. Don't you agree Tala?" Meg asked her cold boyfriend, as they danced. Tala had been keeping an eye on his sister since he found her. He glared at Kai. "He'd better not hurt her in anyway." Tala says protectively. Meg sighs. "Don't worry about it. Kai wouldn't hurt her on purpose. Besides she can take care of her self. You don't have to protect her anymore." Meg says looking at Tala. "I know. It's just...she's my little sister. I'm supposed to protect her." "Not anymore you don't. Now shut up and dance." So the young couple continued dancing.
Kira's POV
As you danced with Kai you almost fell asleep in his arms. "Why do I feel this way? It's as if...as if we were one. Like it was supposed to be this way." you thought. You sighed and just swayed along with Kai. Soon the song was over and you slowly took your hands off of Kai's shoulders and he removed his hands from your hips. He looked at you and you just turned your head away and blushed. Then you walked back to your table with Kai following behind you. About 10 minutes later Mr. Dickinson says that everyone can leave. You and Kai leave almost immendiatly(sp?). when you reach your apartment you turn to Kai. "Umm...thanks for taking me home." you say. Kai just nods. You walk up tohim and quickly kiss him on the cheek and walk to the elevator as fast as you could. As the doors close you wave at Kai who's blushing slightly. You had just gotten in your apartment when you started coughing non-stop. You lean on the door and finally stop coughing. You wipe your mouth and find blood. Your eyes widen in surprise. "No. Not now. Why now?" you thought panicing.
