Chapter 4: Run, Kairi!
Splashfire99: Okay, this is the chapter where a slight Kyoya and Hikaru romance will be seen. And also, where Kairi will…. Uh….
Kairi aimlessly walked through the deserted street. Grey clouds covered the afternoon sky. She just couldn't stop thinking of Nile. And to think I had found the right one…
As the lilac haired teen wondered away, she walked into a deserted alley. Above her, the thunder rumbled. It was going to rain soon. Rain… Just nice… Memories of Nile returned. A rainy day… oh, no, no! Why can't I stop thinking of Nile?
"Well, well, well, look who's here!" Kairi spun round. Oh no. Sasha was standing there with her fists clenched and a threatening look on her face. "Sasha." Kairi growled. "So here you are." Sasha smirked. "Nile rejected you already, Kai. Get over it!" Before Kairi knew it, Sasha pushed her roughly to the ground. "Nile's mine." She continued. "Nothing will stand in my way." She then aimed her fist at Kairi. "Including you!"
If Kairi wasn't suffering emotionally, she would've thrown Sasha off easily. But she was. This made her weaker than usual. Kairi let out a cry of pain each time Sasha kicked, slapped, or punched her. But the more she cried, the more smug Sasha became. In a few minutes, Sasha stood over a bleeding and battered Kairi triumphantly. "See ya, loser." She sneered, before backing out of the alley. This was the last thing Kairi saw before her strength faded and she blacked out.
"Are you sure about this? I know Kairi's been acting weird, but-"Kyoya said. "I'm sure something's wrong." Hikaru insisted. Kyoya sighed. "Fine. But when do you think this might happen?" Hikaru shrugged. "I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that…that… argh!" "Hikaru! Calm down! Please!" Kyoya grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed his forehead to hers. Seeing the pleading look in his eyes, she calmed down. "Sorry… but… what the-?"
"Hikaru, is something wrong? Kyoya asked. "Oh no!" Hikaru let go of Kyoya's hand and ran into the alley. Confused, Kyoya followed. What he saw next was horrifying. His own cousin was lying on the ground, and blood was bleeding profusely out of her arms. "Kairi!" Hikaru gasped. Kyoya carried her up. "We have to get her to the hospital!" He yelled. Hikaru followed Kyoya to the hospital. Sasha did this! I knew she did!
As Kairi lay in the ward, Kyoya and Hikaru told the others of Hikaru's dream and what happened. "so it was Sasha!" Benkei snarled angrily. "What a selfish jerk that girl is!" Carol added. But Kenta stood up. "I should tell Nile." He said. Everyone stared at him. "But why?' Hikaru protested. "He always sides with Sasha!" Madoka added.
"I know." Kenta said. "But I have this feeling that I have to tell him!" Kyoya stood up. "You can go." Even though Kyoya was angry at him, he had a feeling of sympathy for no reason for his old teammate. Miku was inside the room, talking to the nurse.
After Kenta left, Miku emerged from the room. "She isn't good," she said. "She's been beat up pretty bad." "So what condition is Kairi in?" Masamune asked worriedly. Miku looked at him gravely. "Critical.' She said.
Meanwhile, Kenta raced through the streets to Nile's house. I must tell him! But is he as heartless as Sasha is?
