A/N: Alrighty, it's the first time in ages that I'm leaving an authors note at the top of the chapter but I have a reason for it this time. In this chapter you're going to read some stuff that happens between Kai and Tori. I just wanted to tell you that there's nothing in there to skip since if there's something like a lemon I would warn you from before but there isn't in this chapter, even though it looks like there will be. Also, there's a bit on the physical relationship between Tori and Kai and maybe it seems like a stupid thing to read but there are so many writers out there that just write romance stories and lemons and stuff like that but they don't write about other things but you'll see what I mean, if you don't like it just say so but I just thought that I'd try something new, something not everyone writes, it's a risk but I don't mind taking a risk for once. So I hope you enjoy the chapter, forgive me if it's short but the computer and internet was down for a couple of days and I couldn't write.
Chapter 28
Tori lay in the bath filled with hot water, bubbles floating about on the water and on her pale skin. She smiled happily, moving her feet under the tap of running warm water, smiling as she blew bubbles into the air. Just by sitting back in the bath she was already up to her neck in water. She'd woken up late, finding Kai had gone out for a walk and that left her alone long enough for her to watch a short TV show while eating breakfast and have a relaxing bath.
She'd been in the bath for just over twenty minutes and was quite enjoying the relaxation which she didn't always get on other days. Being in the hospital for weeks had made her tense, particularly because she didn't have much to herself. Her days where almost all the same there; lying on a plain and horrid looking bed, in a room that didn't look in the least bit comforting to a person, she was usually attached to wires and tubes, all of the contents of each only draining her of all her physical and emotional energy, her pain. When she was good enough to be taken off those machines and medications, she still wasn't alone for very long since doctors would always be checking up on her. And when she'd go to have a shower and she'd try to concentrate on little things, like the sound of the water falling, or the soothing warm water running along her skin, a nurse would knock on her door to ask if she was okay in there.
She was always perfectly fine but Tori had been a regular at hospitals, wherever she was and whatever country she was in so doctors where always watching her like a hawk, especially since they'd all found it a bit…odd that a girl so young was ready to refuse something that could save her life.
Ever since she got out of the hospital it had all been a rush, an adrenaline rush. She was excited to be out and back with her friends and Kai, hard to believe but she missed the little things that had been introduced to her life like the job of waking Tyson up in the morning. That was something she never did before but it was a challenge and she found it fun to do every morning, especially since Max and her had found terribly yet effective ways of waking Tyson. It was all just plain, innocent fun that she never used to have when she was travelling with her parents.
So now that the adrenaline rush was over, Tori felt like she was back to normal and was able to go back to feeling laid back and not so troubled about her own health, not that she was much in the first place. Even though the adrenaline rush had passed, the rush she had would Kai wasn't about to fade anytime soon. The two really cared about each other, a lot and enough to be there for each other for anything and that was a great feeling that Tori liked to impose on Kai. She currently had a few minutes to relax on her own for a while though and she loved that because with Kai she didn't always get that chance, since when she was relaxing with him it was a different kind of relaxation.
The good soaking in the bath was a real treat for Tori since for once she got to feel alive and didn't really have to worry about the shy boy that usually sat beside her. When she was with Kai she'd usually be worrying about something, like his health or his problems, what she was going to say to him, how she was going to comfort him, how she was going to get him to talk to her. It was all a hard process. Don't just sit there and think that everything she said to him was like a spur of the moment thing. No way, she'd put a lot of thought into things before hand. That's why she'd invaded Kai's privacy by reading those medical and report files. She wanted to know beforehand what she was up against so that she didn't possibly ruin things by saying something that could make him feel worse. Tori was far from perfect. There where countless times she'd made a mess of things, like telling Kai the wrong things, or ordering him around too much when deep down inside she knew that she shouldn't have been pushing him so hard. Other times she just got too close when it was best to have left him alone, spending the night away from him when it suited the situation, not shutting up when she could see he clearly wasn't in the mood to argue.
Faults like those where ones that could go on forever because there was no limited amount as to how many times she'd screwed up on a situation but she wasn't perfect, she won some arguments and lost some others, it was just the way it was. She spent days trying to come up with mental lists of things to say and conversations that she shouldn't touch but there where times those conversations where brought up anyway. They always argued about something, despite her best efforts to avoid major arguments with him so some where completely out of her hands when they happened. Still, she put a lot of thought into everything that she did and said to him, countless hours, sleepless nights; it's what she thought about and dreamt about, only helping him.
So after all that, a nice hot bath was really just a treat, or more like a reward for all she'd done. Of course, all good things must come to an end. Tori switched off the running water, relaxed for a few more minutes as she couldn't bring herself to get out of the warm water, even though she knew that she should be getting out soon and that it wasn't wise to be in the heat for so long. She pulled the plug and picked up the towel that was on the floor by the bath, standing up and wrapping her body tightly in the soft fabric.
She sat down on the side of the bathtub as it was drained of the water. Tori reached forward and pulled her undergarments off the counter and slowly pulled on both her underwear and bra on, keeping the towel around her until she found enough strength in her swirling head to put on the rest of her clothes. After only a minute she was dressed and she hurried out of the steaming bathroom into the cooler air of her bedroom.
Tori stopped in the doorway, "I didn't know you were back." She commented once she saw Kai sitting on her bed.
"Just got here." Kai told her.
"That explains it." Tori muttered, sitting next to him for a minute of silence. Tori flicked her wrist, turning her silver watch and looking at the time before standing up again, "What do you want for lunch?"
"I actually already ate." Kai smirked up at her.
Tori's eyes widened as she looked down at him, crystal brown eyes holding puzzlement, "Eh?!"
"I already ate." Kai repeated casually, a smirk on his face from watching with amusement the shock on his girlfriend's pale face.
Tori rushed back to sitting down again, grabbing Kai's arm hurriedly, "What on Earth possessed you to do that?" she smiled, happiness written all over her.
"Possessed me? Come on, I'm not that bad." Kai told her, sounding just a bit upset that Tori didn't think that highly of him. Tori raised an eyebrow at him, one that asked him if he really believed what he was saying, "Alright I get it, its bad but I was out, got hungry and I figured that if I'm going to try to sort things out I could start out by eating right." He told her.
Tori's eyes widened yet again and she blinked twice before hitting his shoulder, "What the hell changed because I really wish it'd happened sooner?"
Kai laughed quietly and placed his hands on her bare shoulders, keeping her close to him, "Just don't ask questions and be grateful." He whispered, that smile of amusement not leaving his features.
"No catches?" Tori asked.
"None."
Tori smiled at his answer and once seeing how serious he actually was she leaned closer to kiss him, carefully and softly but passionately as always. While kissing, Kai smiled into the kiss once running his fingers along Tori's arm and the side of her stomach, Tori's hand roaming over Kai's neck and the back of his head. The touch on her side was ticklish and she smiled and flinched to the side on instinct, then crawling into the other boy's lap to get closer to him. "I think your dad is going to kill me." Kai whispered through breaths once he slowly pulled his lips away from the girl's.
Tori smiled and just undid the first button of her white tank shirt, "And I just got dressed a few minutes ago and I'm getting undressed now."
"What else is new?" Kai asked sarcastically.
Tori rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Just shut up." She muttered. She leaned forward again, kissing Kai with the usual passion and fire the two had when they were with each other and the two loved that they could have that much care for one another, a relationship they never had with other people. Keeping that desire expression on his cold look Kai took Tori's chin which was gently set on one hand and he suddenly rounded her waist with the other, pressing her thin and very fragile body against his, always carefully considering he knew that the girl was actually still physically weak from when she was plagued by the tumor, even if she refused to admit to her weaknesses.
She shut her eyes and held them closed as she felt the Russian cold lips she had always wanted to kiss on hers. Kai's eyes were still opened, but closed when he slid his tongue on her lower lip and urged to get in. Although, Tori didn't have to think things twice about that, or about anything that was happening at the time. She opened her mouth and let her tongue mix with Kai's, at the same time her hands were going up and rounding against the older boy's neck, running her delicately thin fingers through strands of hair. Because of the rush of blood on both of their halves, in under minutes Tori's shirt was completely gone, on the floor by the bed beneath Kai and Tori's forms.
This was most probably the closest the two had ever actually gotten to each other. Really and truly neither of them where actually even certain if they were ready for sex but almost every time the two had ever come close to doing anything of the sort they were always interrupted. Either Tori would look faint and Kai would stop no matter what Tori said about her condition, or Denzelle would walk in, or Dranzer would interrupt Kai and tell him he shouldn't be doing it or the phone wouldn't stop ringing, or Tori's family came over or even the team coming over to visit their two ill leaders and Tori and Kai would have to part and fix themselves up to go unnoticed to the world around them. Not to mention that the two teenagers weren't the most normal of all teenagers, Tori was physically ill while Kai had emotional issues that kept him from trusting so the two were always careful with each other in order to be certain that the other wasn't hurt or upset about what was going on. Some people think the second they hear that two teenagers had sex they take it as a big deal, that these two teenagers are doing it more out of lust and hormones than anything else but this was different. The two weren't perfect but when it came to each other they were always trying their best to keep the other safe and cared for, even at a time like this.
Whether the sex happened or not that day was the last thing on both their minds, the real reason they were doing it was to be closer to each other, to get to know the other, to fully trust and learn about the other person that they loved so much. True it was irritating when the two where interrupted but they didn't find it irritating because they lusted after each other and couldn't find time alone, it was just about being close to each other and not being able to learn about the other without being interrupted by some stupid things.
You'd think of it as almost impossible that the two people that argued for almost every single minute in the first few months of knowing each other would end up helping each other then sharing a bed and making out with each other in the bedroom, panting heavily, both shirtless with hands roaming over the others skin. Kai lay back on the bed; Tori lay directly on top of him, feeling Kai breathing warmly against her neck, feeling the warm breath tickling the senses of her porcelain skin. Little butterfly kisses where traced along Tori's jaw line, tracing down to her neck, earning a few quiet moans before the two were…yes, interrupted again.
"Mistress…I need your help." Denzelle called quietly from the other side of the bedroom door.
"I'm busy, I'll be there soon." Tori answered, closing her eyes for a moment, feeling bad about ditching Denzelle, especially when she heard Denzelle walk away. She rolled off Kai and sighed before turning to look at the boy again; "We have to stop right?" she smiled lightly.
Kai smiled at the bit of frustration in her eyes but nodded anyway, "Yeah so go help her out."
"Yeah." Tori dropped her hand on the bed with some frustration before she pushed herself off the bed and walked out of the bedroom in silence. She crept into the living room where she knew that Denzelle was. She stood in the doorway, looking on a little confusedly and upset that the girl looked so upset. Denzelle had been sitting forward on the sofa, clutching tightly at her arm as she stared on at the ground. "Last I heard you were going out for a walk, what happened?" Tori sat down on the sofa opposite Denzelle, trying to make conversation with the half-mortal.
"People are rude." Denzelle whispered, almost sounding…spiteful? Although that was something you didn't hear coming from her everyday so it was definitely a new tune to hear from such a gentle girl.
Tori raised her eyebrows at Denzelle, almost looking hurt at the same time in a sarcastic way, "And I just came to help."
"Not you." Denzelle smiled lightly up at her kind Mistress.
Tori got up, smiling as she jumped onto the empty space on the sofa beside Denzelle, wrapping an arm over her shoulders, "Don't worry, I know." She laughed. "So what happened?"
Denzelle pouted and rested her head against her Mistress' shoulder, thinking back to her days. So basically while Tori had been in hospital she'd felt bad that she went back on her promise towards Denzelle that she was going to die. One of Tori's reasons for not wanting to take the surgery was to be able to let Denzelle have her own life to live so when Tori ended up taking the surgery she felt horrible that she'd gone back on something that Denzelle had wanted, even if Denzelle said she didn't care about living a regular life.
So Tori decided on something else. She told Denzelle that she could still live a life; one that was a bit more restricted considering Denzelle only had a specific amount of energy to use while out of her blade. So this was one of Denzelle's first days of trying out a life of her own, or as well as she could get that to turn out. The morning was fun; Tori had let her borrow some of her clothes from the wardrobe so it was just fun to be…human or just do things that could make her feel human. There wasn't much on her mind that she wanted to do, she just wanted to get out of the house for a while, she told Tori she was going out and she left for a long walk so that she could make things up as she went along.
"Not much happened. Don't worry about it."
"Don't try to act like Kai." Tori glared almost jokingly at her.
"I'm not, I just tripped and some people were being…cruel." Denzelle moved her hand off her arm, showing Tori the small bruise and cut that was on there.
"Yes well a lot of people are like that and you've been following me around for the past sixteen or so years, you should know that some people are like that."
"I knew but it's different when it's me." Denzelle whispered.
Tori laughed, resting against Denzelle, "It's like the easy way out." She smiled. "Go get that cleaned up and we'll go out for ice-cream." She ordered quietly.
Denzelle lifted her head off Tori's shoulder, looking on rather happily towards her Mistress, "Really?" she asked hopefully. Tori nodded hurriedly, looking down at Denzelle as always. "You're not busy?" she asked carefully.
"Not anymore."
Denzelle smiled and rushed up, running out of the room and down the hall to the bathroom. Tori laughed at the girl's enthusiasm, happy that in a way she could make some of her own memories with the girl and now that she actually had time to make memories with people. She got off the sofa and walked down the hall to her bedroom where Kai still was, "You ok there sunshine?" Tori asked, closing the door behind her.
Kai had been lying back on the bed and then glanced up at the girl, "Yeah, fine." He answered casually. "Is Denzelle alright?"
"Yeah, she's fine. I told her we'd go out for ice-cream; do you want to join us?"
"You two need to spend more time alone together so I'm going to go check on the others soon."
"You aren't going to kill them with training are you?" Tori glared at him questioningly.
"Nothing's planned today." Kai answered her, a smirk on his face.
"Just don't be too hard on them." Tori laughed as she shook her head.
"I'll try."
"No you won't!" Tori exclaimed, sitting down beside him, nothing new about the smile on her face.
"Of course not." Kai shrugged, smirking as he sat back up.
"I'm really starting to think you and I are cursed or something." Tori dropped her head against Kai's shoulder as she spoke.
"Because we can't have some time alone? I think so too but it could always be worse."
Tori nodded hurriedly in a quick agreement, "Yeah. Let's not jinx it."
"That sounds like the smartest thing you've said all day."
Tori lifted her head and looked at him with a look of annoyance, "I did say some other smart things today but sadly they were all muffled by your lips." She pointed out to him, matter-of-factly.
"Sounds fair."
"I'll bet you find that fair, it's not something you can complain about."
Kai started, "I…"
"You wouldn't dare try." Tori glared, standing up.
"Yeah, I'll take my stupid comments with me to the Dojo, I'll see you later." Kai gave Tori a really quick kiss on the cheek and walked out the bedroom door, nodding with a smile at Denzelle who'd just walked out of the bathroom as he walked by her.
Tori walked out into the hall where Denzelle walked up to her, Tori smiled and swung an arm over Denzelle's shoulders, smiling happily as the two walked down the hall to the door that Kai had just exited from. "Come on, we're going to act like sisters for the rest of the day." Tori told her as she opened the door.
Denzelle smiled and looked at Tori, raising a delicate eyebrow at the girl, "We're going to argue all day?"
Tori thought for a second as she began making her way down the stairs, "I'm not sure yet but I guarantee you that whatever happens it won't be boring."
"It rarely ever is." Denzelle ran after her Mistress down the stairs, the two girl's chasing after each other till they got down onto the street.
"So what is it you want to do, sunshine?" Tori asked, latching her arm onto Denzelle's as they walked down the street.
"I don't know."
"Well come on, you've been waiting to be human for the past hundred years or so and now that you have a Mistress who's willing to help you act human you might as well take advantage of it. I'm sure you have something in mind that we haven't done before."
"I…don't know."
"How about…shopping?"
Denzelle looked a bit upset and shifted uncomfortably, "I don't have money, remember?"
"I do though, remember that?"
"But I can't do that."
"Yeah you can, for all the times you protected me, looked after me, nursed me back to health, for cheering me up when I was upset and everything you've done for me. And before you start with the 'But's' I'm just going to ignore them so you can save your breath."
"Fine." Denzelle pouted just slightly.
Tori smiled and glanced over at Denzelle while they kept on walking, "It sucks not to have an opinion huh?"
"Definitely."
"Now you know how I feel." Tori nudged.
Denzelle sighed, still pouting, upset yet cutely at the same time, "Now I feel really sorry for the way I've treated you over the years."
"That sounds good to me." Tori laughed.
"I'm glad you're getting something good out of it because to me it feels horrible."
"Life's a bitch and then you die."
"Speak for yourself." Denzelle glared at her.
---That Night- 9:00pm---
Kai lay on the sofa on his stomach, supporting himself on his elbows while reading a book when he heard the laughing from just outside the apartment door. He closed the book, leaving his thumb on the page he'd been reading as he listened cautiously until Tori and Denzelle opened the door and walked into the apartment. Kai turned over and sat up on seeing the girl's walk in, "Hey, where have you two been?" he asked them.
Denzelle and Tori smiled at each other and then turned back to looking at Kai, holding up all the shopping bags that where gripped tightly in their hands and hanging off their arms. "Shopping spree!" they replied in unison.
Kai grit his teeth lightly, taking a sharp breath through them as he looked on with just some fear on his face, "That's terrifying."
"Shopping isn't that bad!" Denzelle told him, sitting down and letting go of the bags, rubbing her hands in hope of getting some feeling back into the reddening skin.
"The shopping isn't what I'm afraid of. I'm just afraid of how alike you two have gotten in a couple of hours."
"It's not that bad." Tori told him, following Denzelle's same example before sitting back on the sofa.
"You'll see how bad it actually is eventually." Kai informed her.
Tori rolled her eyes and changed subject, "So off that lovely topic, what have you been up to today?"
"Tortured the team for a couple of hours, came home, ate, slept and did some reading."
Tori made a fake gasp, "You stayed out of trouble? You really are possessed." She said hurriedly, earning a laugh from the bit-beast beside her on the sofa.
Kai stood up, taking Tori's face in his hands before getting really close to her, "You're so funny." He said sarcastically with an irritated smile on his face, letting go of her cheeks and walking to the kitchen.
"I can't help it." Tori told him.
"Whatever you say."
"You're not really going to hold it against her are you?" Denzelle asked, followed by a yawn of exhaustion.
"Maybe I will."
Denzelle would have spoken but instead she shook her head slightly and moved to rest her head on her Mistress' lap, obviously the day's activities exhausting her and draining her of what was left of her life's oxygen. "Go and get some rest, I'll finish things up with Kai." Tori whispered quietly. Denzelle sat up slowly, getting off the sofa and picking up all her things, carrying them to the bedroom where she could leave them so she could get herself some more rest.
Once Tori was sure that Denzelle had put her things in the bedroom, she got off the sofa and quietly stepped into the kitchen. Kai was leaning with his stomach pressed against the counter edge, a mug of coffee in his hands like he always did while thinking. If Tori didn't see Kai having coffee at least twice a day than she saw it as irregular, she thought of it as some brain drink for Kai, considering she'd see what Kai was like without coffee when he woke up in the morning and to put it simply, it just wasn't a pretty sight.
Tori turned her back to the empty space on the counter beside Kai, placing her hands on the counter, pushing herself up with her feet and pulling herself up onto the counter before sitting there staring on at the boy. "You amaze me as to how hard you try." She whispered, only loud enough for him to hear her. She opened her arms just slightly, leaning closer towards him, "Come here, if not for you then for me." She whispered.
Kai put the mug of coffee back down on the counter, scooting over to her before wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug, resting his chin on her shoulder. Steady quiet breaths passed his lips as he remained in that same position for a few moments of silence, a shining and glistening look in his hard crimson eyes which made him looked strong but showed some of his vulnerability. The two slowly pulled away from each other and Kai took a careful step back. Tori reached out in front of her, running her thumb under Kai's eyes in search for the dampness of a tear, finding none which made her smile, "You're alright." She told him.
Kai didn't say another word, just moved back to where he was before, leaning against the counter and sipping the warm coffee despite the heat that was radiating through the balcony door of the living room and the intense heat he was feeling on his skin.
Tori slid something out of her back pocket, a small white card that she handed to him. Kai looked up at her with much confusion written on his face before he turned back down to looking at the card before he decided to take it and have a look for himself of what it was. "It's the doctor's card, the appointment is tomorrow afternoon, and I think it'd do you some good if you went." Tori told him quietly.
No audible answer was heard from Kai on Tori's behalf, even though he had muttered an even quieter, "Sure." While he put the card in his pocket for later. Kai finished up his coffee while Tori kept a close eye on him the whole time, looking on sympathetically, at the same time dwelling on the amount of stress Kai must be under already. She watched as Kai left the mug in the sink, stood in front of her, gave her a quick peck on the lips and muttered, "Good night." Before he left the room to go to bed.
Tori sighed, 'I wish it didn't have to be so hard on him.' Just by even thinking that much her head was aching already, maybe she shouldn't have been out all day and should have relaxed a little more than she did. She got up and walked back into the living room, groaning painfully when she lay her head down on a pillow to rest it for a while. The auburn-haired teenager would have gone to bed but figured she already lingered around Kai enough within the time she was there so she supposed she'd leave him to be alone for a few minutes before she actually went in there. She closed her eyes and turned over onto her side but before she knew it the faintness and dizziness grew stronger and stronger till the last thing you could see was Tori's hand drop off the sofa and just her fingers twitch two millimeters above the ground.
She woke up just a little startled when someone called to her, rather coldly from the living room door way. She looked at Kai standing there and he spoke again, "Don't sleep there, it's uncomfortable." He called to her from where he stood before turning and leaving again.
Tori wiped the bit of sleep out of her eyes before looking down at her watch, two hours passed since she'd lay down on the sofa to rest and the two hours had flown by and Kai was still awake, surprising and worrying at the same time since, taking into account the stress and emotional hell he was under she thought he'd actually fallen asleep hours ago. She shook her head, yawning before she plucked up the energy to pus herself off the sofa and into her room where Kai was already lying down. She walked into her bathroom, changed quickly into her nightgown and crawled into bed, dropping her head heavily onto the pillow. "Goodnight." She whispered.
"Night." Kai whispered back to her quickly.
Tori opened her eyes again, pouting, she bit down on her bottom lip and sat up on her side, placing a hand on Kai's shoulder and peeking over him since he had his back to her. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"Fine."
"Look, about that appointment tomorrow, if you don't think you can handle it for now than postpone it. I don't want you suffering and stressing out over something that I want you to do. If you think you can do without it for now than don't go."
"I'm going because I want to know what the hell is wrong with me."
Tori rested her head on Kai's shoulder and even from there she was able to hear Kai's heart beating furiously against his own rib cage. "Nothing is…wrong with you, you've just got some things that you need to sort out." She corrected him carefully. The last thing she wanted him feeling was that there was actually something wrong with him, who would be okay with the fact that there was something wrong with them?
"I'll have them sorted out soon, right? Once I deal with it then it'll all be better so it's nothing to worry about."
"I'm not worrying because I know you can handle it, but you're worrying and despite your pride you think you aren't capable of fixing this."
"I'll manage it, don't worry about it."
"I know you'll manage, I have faith in you and I'm not leaving you alone so I'm helping you, then there's the rest of the team that can help you too." Tori had just moved off Kai and the boy beside her turned back over onto his back to be able to look up at her.
"I don't need to get their help right now, I'll manage so stop worrying about me."
"How about I tell you to stop worrying about how you're going to handle things?"
"Goodnight, Tori."
Tori closed her eyes, then scooted closer to Kai and rested her head on his shoulder, "Goodnight, Kai." She whispered back, falling asleep only a moment later.
---Next Morning---
Tori groaned and turned over from one side to the other, covering her eyes from the sunlight as she slowly opened her eyes to the morning sun that shone through her windows like every other morning. She turned over onto her back once she regained her proper eyesight, then glanced at the space beside her, seeing Kai had left the room. Turning to look at her bedside table she picked up her watch and found the reason to why Kai had already left. It was already getting late, it was just after midday and knowing him his nerves got the best of him and he couldn't sleep any longer. 'Good morning, Denzelle.' She greeted happily in her mind.
'Since when are you so nice in the morning? Oh I know and before you ask, no I don't know where Kai is.'
'I wasn't telling you good morning to find out where Kai is, I said good morning because it'd be what I'd say to anyone else.'
'I'm so loved.'
'Yes, yes you are.'
'So what do you think is going to happen with Kai today?'
'I'm really not sure at the moment…I think he just might actually go through with it but he's going to attempt to kill me before and he's going to be an emotional wreck after.'
'Sadly, that sounds about right.'
'Yeah I thought it would.' Tori sat up properly in bed, staring at her pale hands in contrast with the white bed sheets, 'You think I should go find him?'
'Maybe you shouldn't…just to give him time to cool off, like you said, he'd probably attempt murder.'
'You really think I should stay out of it?'
'Most definitely.'
'Alright, I'm going with your advice.' Tori got off the bed, brushing her hair in front of her bedroom mirror before she walked into the kitchen to make herself some breakfast, 'You think he's alright?'
'I'm sure he's fine, he survived all his life alone, a couple of hours until this shrink thing he has to go to.'
'It's not a shrink, you genius.'
'Then whatever it is but you know what I mean.'
'Yeah, I do but I can't help worrying about him, I never could.'
'I think the whole world knows that by now.'
'Most likely.' The two went on with their jokes and childish antics for about an hour more, just to take each others minds off the stoic captain who'd left the building hours before, all secretly hoping that Kai was okay and handling things well.
A/N: Well I know this chapter is much shorter than usual and for that I'm really sorry for but I used up the computer and the internet so much that the internet company slowed me down to control the internet connection I was using so forgive me for the short chapter. I don't really have time to write a long authors note today, I'm currently going through an emotional rollercoaster, what with a lot of things going on in my life along with the emotion I'm trying to put into my chapters which is only messing with my emotions. So to keep this short, please review the chapter even though I think it doesn't deserve a review from you kind people and I will try to update as soon as I can. Sounds good? Take care everyone!
