Author's Note: Damn, it's been forever. But I realized that I hate when people don't finish a story, so not wanting to be a hypocrite... Here I am working on it. XD

A small breeze played around her as she walked through a field that was blanketed with a thick fog. Alexis stood there, looking from side to side, but never daring to take a step.

Where am I?

Is anyone here?

Am I alone?

The unanswered questions echoed around the field, bouncing off the white mist. Taunting her.

Is he here?

"Where is..."

"Kai.." The name escaped her lips in a soft gasp as her hands reached out to hold onto him, to prove that she had awakened from her dream.

Yet, her hands gripped onto nothing but the white comforter that she was now laying on. Blue eyes fluttered open to take in the billowing white curtains as a night breeze danced along the large bedroom. Looking passed the drapery, the starry night sky came into view. It was so bright and the moon was so large... Where was she?

Kneeling up on the bed, the city came into view, after she looked passed all of the trees. She was out of the city? Her head began to spin at the thought, mostly because Brooklyn's control was still wearing off.

The more important question was: Where was Kai?

Scanning the moon lit room, she soon found that there wasn't another soul in the there except for her. But in her search, she noticed a light spilling from a closed door to the right of the bed.

Kai! Her heart began racing as she slid off of the bed and timidly made her way to the door, slowly pushing it open to only be disappointed when she found it was the bathroom that she had just walked into.

To Alexis' surprise, the bathtub was already filled and she could see steam rising off of the surface which also made her realize the room was smelled like a field of lilacs. Besides the tub, a white robe was folded on the edge.

Had he planned this?

Alexis let out a huff of frustration. Was she so easy to read, that he set this all up? He was avoiding her. She just knew it.

Letting out another sigh, she began stripping off her clothes any way, leaving them in a pile on the marble floor. Even if she was annoyed, she couldn't let the water go to waste.

Slowly climbing in, her body immediately relaxed as it was submerged in the warm water. It was just what she needed to get her mind off things.

Minutes ticked by and Alexis lost track for how long she had been in the tub, but seeing her fingers becoming wrinkly, she decided it was time to get out and opened the drain to empty the water.

Stepping out of the tub, she wrapped the robe around her, her relaxed mood only growing as the fabric made her feel like she was wearing a cloud. She snuggled into the material and was about to walk out until she passed by the bathroom mirror which stood above the sink.

Alexis paused to look at herself. Her hair was pulled back into a loose, messy bun with golden wisps framing her face. Her sun-kissed skin was shimmering with drops of water that still clung to her body, except where the robe touched her skin.

A robe. That was the only thing Alexis was wearing. 'The only thing... I'm naked under this!' She then suddenly thought and a blush began to rise on her cheeks and her nerves began to take over. She looked at her pile of clothes longingly, but she didn't wish to put on dirty garments.

Taking a deep breath, Alexis stepped back into the bedroom to only be met with disappointment once again when she saw it was still empty. Had she been expecting him to be there? Waiting for her?

She quickly shook the thought from her mind and found the door that would lead her to the rest of the house. It was certainly bigger then what she imagined as she walked through the halls. But the longer she explored the house, the more depressed she became. It was completely empty. Had he just left her there alone?

Alexis was about to give up until she heard the sound of a beyblade spinning. Growing curious, she followed the noise down a set stairs which ultimately led her into a basement. And to her surprise, beydishes and beyblade parts filled practically every inch of the room.

And in the center of this room, with his back to her, was Kai. Calling out commands, while his beyblade maneuvered through different obstacles at a high speed.

Leaning against one of the walls, Alexis couldn't help but watch him. He was always so determined. A part of her wanted to say something along the lines of, 'Don't you ever stop practicing.' It would have been something she would have usually said in any other situation to lighten the mood or any other time she would have seen him... but not now.

"Hey."

Had she said that? Her voice even sounded foreign to her through the thick silence. But even if it was just a slip of the tongue, she at least expected some kind of acknowledgement. A hello, a grunt.. any sound really... even a glance back would suffice.

Though the only thing that she noticed was different was that he was standing a little bit straighter. Had he heard her then? It was then that she let her eyes finally wander away from his figure to the rest of the room.

Her breath suddenly caught in her throat and she could feel her heart had skipped a beat when her gaze had locked with cold purple eyes. It wasn't until a moment later that her mind had registered that there was a mirror across the room, which Kai was now watching her with and most likely had when she first came down.

Yet, the silence remained, weighing down on them... or on least on her. She felt like she was being suffocated and seeing his indifferent expression made the knot in her throat tighten.

Was she supposed to break the silence?

The sound of the beyblade flying into his grasp made her jump with surprise and anitcipation. This was it. Everything on Kai's mind, she would finally hear it.

Kai was watching her carefully through the mirror as he set up his beyblade back in its launcher. Though he only gave her one last glance before he ripped his gaze away from hers and let Dranzer fly back through the obstacles.

Alexis's heart sank. There was nothing else that could describe the feeling of seeing him reject her. She had to force air to fill her lungs or she would just pass out... and there was no reason to embarrass herself more in front of him.

Turning on her heel, she was about to walk away until she heard a faint, "Why?"

Had she imagined that? Either way, she was going to take that chance to explain herself.

She spun back around, though didn't dare to even glance at the mirror or she would lose her train of thought. Instead, she just focused on his back.

"I was just wandering around BEGA and got lost..." Alexis stuttered out, wishing that would be the end of it, but she knew there was so much more to explain. "I met Brooklyn the day before- I didn't know!... That he would do that..." Her voice began to trail off when she saw that he wasn't responding to anything that she was saying.

"Kai?" Alexis whispered.

It was then that she saw his shoulders tense and she braced herself for what was about to come.

"Did you want to be with him?" Kai asked, his voice low as if he was trying to hold back. Alexis gave him an incredulous look, "N-...!"

"Then why?" Kai shouted, not even allowing her to begin, his fists clenching at his sides, but he didn't turn around. "Why even go to BEGA? Why even get near him unless you wanted to?" He questioned as Dranzer began to go berserk on the ground, hitting every obstacle down in its path.

Alexis parted her lips to speak, to at least try and defend herself, but he wouldn't let her.

"Did you just hope that I would come? That someone would come and help you when your little game went too far for your liking? Because I'm not always going to be there to babysit you like I always have to do for some reason." It was then that Kai finally turned around to face her, but his eyes fell on an empty space.

Right as Kai began yelling at her, Alexis slowly turned around and walked quietly upstairs, hearing his deep voice all the way up. Once reaching the top, she took off into a run. She just needed to get out of there.

'This is so stupid... Why did he even bring me here if he just planned to yell at me.' Alexis wondered as she somehow made it back to the bedroom she woke up in. The plan was to get her things and leave before making it worse. She dared not cry though. She just couldn't do it. It was pointless and she didn't want his pity and she didn't want the shame of even letting him see a tear roll down her cheek.

The bathroom door was only a foot away, it was so close that her hand was already reaching out towards the door. Before her finger tips could scrape the painted wood, she was wrenched back by a pair of strong arms grabbing her arm.

"Why?"

His growl ripped through her and she suddenly felt extremely cold, though his hot breath was coating her ear and neck, making her shudder with sudden fear.

Kai quickly spun her around and pushed her against the wall, making her gasp in surprise by the sudden impact before he pinned her wrists on either side of her head so she had no way of escape.

"Why are you running away from me?" He growled again, his eyes glaring down at her, though she tried to avoid his gaze at any cost which only seemed to set him off more.

"Look at me! Damn it!" Kai suddenly yelled, slamming her wrists against the wall, and making her writhe underneath him as his fingers dug into her skin.

Wincing in pain, Alexis slowly turned to look up at him, blinking back the tears that she couldn't hold in any longer, but she gave him a defiant gaze, she didn't want to crumble in front of him. She wasn't a weak person... except when it came to him and she wished that things that he said wouldn't affect her so much.

As their eyes pierced each other, she saw his purple eyes start to gain recognition as he watched a single tear run down her cheek. He followed it until it reached her jaw before his eyes snapped back to hers and his expression transitioned from rage to what seemed to be fear. His grip didn't loosen from her wrists, but she felt him begin to tremble and to her surprise, she watched as he leaned forward and rested his forehead on her shoulder.

She stood their frozen, scared if she moved that he would snap again and his anger would return. But after a couple of minutes of listening to his heavy breathing, his hands finally let go of her wrists and instead wrapped around her body, pulling her to him in a strong embrace. That simple act took her breath away from the surprise, yet when she got over her shock, she let herself finally relax as her hands held onto his shirt desperately and she rested her head on his chest, listening to his rapid heart beat as she wished that this is what she had woken up to, nevertheless, she was glad that it had even happened.

After a few minutes, she could hear Kai's breathing begin to return to normal, but he still held onto her. "Kai?" She whispered softly, feeling him jump slightly, catching him off guard, but he gave a small grunt in response. She stayed quiet for another long moment before adding, "It's ok."

It was then that his arms finally began to release her and she took that chance to lean forward and press a gentle kiss to his cheek. "I'm sorry too." She added, knowing that she had caused his anger and she was the one to blame. Stepping back, Alexis turned to go to the bathroom to fetch her clothes, not having noticed Kai's eyes widen in surprise when he heard her. She also didn't notice him follow her into the bathroom until he came up behind her and snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her back against his chest. "Don't go." He said, his lips brushing against her ear, which sent her heart racing.

"I won't" Alexis replied softly before she looked up and blushed deeply at what she saw. He had stopped her in front of the large bathroom mirror and she wasn't sure if he had noticed yet, but his fingers were brushing the front of her waist. "K-Kai.." She said shyly and the sound of her voice caught his attention as he looked up to meet her flushed face in the reflection of the mirror and to see she was breathing harder for no reason. Yet, as he let his eyes wander down her figure, he saw that the robe she was wearing had opened and the only thing keeping it somewhat closed was the loose tie around her waist, other then that, there was a deep 'V' shape of exposed skin going from her neck to her lower abdomen where his fingers now brushed.

"Hmm..." Kai hummed in slight amusement, letting her see his smirk in the mirror has his fingers began to untie the belt of the robe to let it finally fall completely open.

Author's Note Part II:

This chapter went in the complete opposite direction of how I thought. I just started writing and then that fight happened which I hadn't planned when I started. I know it seems really rushed, but I didn't want to drag out the story too long. Since next chapter is why it's rated M :)

Anyway, I hope you all like it and Please Review!
