Chapter 22: Sing for me
(Your POV)
You're back in Japan and your apartment. The others are helping you clean up the mess that's been lying there since you got kidnapped.
"Thank you guys. I really appreciate your help."
"Don't think about it Reiko," Mariah says with a smile.
"Yeah, besides that's what friends are for right? Helping each other," Hilary adds.
You smile at them and continue cleaning. When you're done the apartment is back to its old self, and you sit down in your favourite chair. The others are talking and joking, laughing at stupid jokes or faces. You look out the window and think about all the things that have happened to you.
Come to think about it, more things have happened this last year than any other. You smile a little to yourself, but someone else notices it as well.
"It's been a while since I've seen you smile." You look up in surprise at the person talking, and discover it's Kai. You laugh a little.
"Well I haven't had too much to smile about," you reply with a grin.
He sits down beside you and looks into your eyes. You meet his deep purple orbs and feel…safe. You never had a feeling like this before, and having him sit there beside you makes you feel that nothing can harm you. He gives you a little smile, only you notice it, but still it is a smile. His wounds are healing well and yours are too. He no longer needs help to move around and it's barely noticeable that he's been in a fight. He gets up and leans down besides you.
"We need to visit someone later," he whispers in your ear. For a short moment you're confused, but then you understand and give him a light smile and nod.
"Yeah let's go when the others go home ok?" He gives you a light smile then nod.
When the others finally leave, Kai stays with you. A little later you're walking together down the street heading for a certain old library. Walking in through the huge wooden doors you find the professor standing there waiting for you.
"I had a feeling you two would come back," he smiles at you and once again his deep blue eyes meets yours in a secretive, yet warming look.
"Hello professor. We came to say thank you," you say. The professor smiles and turns around walking through the shelves.
"For what my child? I didn't do anything," he waves his hand, signalling you to follow him. You look at Kai, he nods, and together you follow the professor through the strange old library. When the professor stops again he standing in front of a bookshelf with titles like; "The secret of Romeo and Juliet.", "Love and mythical creatures.", "The spell of Aphrodite.", "Get your lover and make love." And other strange titles all about love.
"Em…professor why have you taken us to this shelf?" you ask nervously. He looks at you with eyes both filled with excitement and secrets.
"My dear, that is what you two should know," he replies then he walks away humming a strange tune. You and Kai are left with nothing but confusion. You look back at the bookshelf and read some of the titles.
"Kai have you noticed…"
"...All the books are about love, Yeah I noticed." You look at each other, and for some reason you blush. You haven't been alone with Kai since the night you came back, and the feeling of his arms around you is still fresh in your memory.
"Maybe we should go. I think the professor understands that we're grateful," he says. You just nod and together you walk out of the library, with a wave and smile from the professor.
"Come back again some time," he says cheerfully. You can't help but wonder, if the professor is smarter than he appears to be. You give him a last smile before you disappear out the door with Kai. But just as you do you swear you hear the professor mumble,
"Ah young love, what life it brings."
The next morning you wake up to the sun shining outside your window. You stretch your whole body and get out of bed in a really good mood.
Today will be a great day, I can feel it. You jump in the shower and sing along with the radio whenever it plays a song you know. When you're done you put some clothes on and eat a good breakfast while watching the beyblade news. Just as you walk out of the bathroom after brushing your teeth someone rings the door bell. You smile knowing exactly who it is. Opening the door with the same smile you say,
"Morning Hilary, we're heading for Tyson's?"
"Morning Reiko, yeah. You're in a good mood today, what's up?" she asks smiling back as you put on your shoes.
"Nothing. I just have a good feeling about today, that's all."
You lock the door and together you head for Tyson's dojo.
When you arrive you find all the other teams there as well, already training with their blades. After a while you're all having great fun and even Kai is smiling today. Then Mr. Dickenson comes in, a bright smile spreads over your face. You remember the day after you returned to Japan and Mr Dickenson had come to your apartment. You two had sat down talking and it was then he told you he was your grandfather, he had even shown you a picture of you, your parents and himself. You get up and hug him.
"Hello my dear, how is everything?"
He smiles as he hugs you back.
"Great, what are you doing here I thought you were working today?" you him. He lets out a little laugh.
"Well I am, Reiko. Beyblading is my work you know."
You can't help but laugh.
"What I came for was to tell you all about the party," he continues.
"Party??"
"What this is like the Christmas party we had?" Hilary asks.
"Yes kind of, except this is a masquerade party, where all the beyblade teams that the Bladebreakers have meet will come," he explains.
"Hold on Mr Dickenson are you saying that all the teams we have meet since our first world championship will be at the party?" Kenny asks.
"Yes so it's quite a big deal. The press and the biggest beyblade investors and creators will be at this party, like your mom Max."
"Cool, so that means we'll meet all our friends again," Max says smiling.
"In deed it does." Everyone gets really excited and you too can't help looking forward to this party.
"Well girls you all know what this means!" Hilary says.
"SHOPPING!" All of them scream in reply. You can't help but laugh, and yet you feel a bit helpless.
"I'll join to, I need a outfit too," you say.
"Great then we girls can go on a huge shopping trip together," Mariah adds excitedly.
"Yeah that sounds great!" Julia adds.
"And then we can have a sleep over and fix each other's nails and all that," Matilda says happily. You smile, knowing you will end up in your apartment with that girls night, like you did the last time. The girls are really excited and soon you're off to the shopping mall.
You're sitting around the living room table putting on nail polish. You picked a dark purple colour to go with the dress and mask you bought. You're talking about anything, when the subject of boys comes up.
"Oh come on Mariah, it's so obvious that you like Ray," Julia says certain of herself. Mariah blushes.
"Yeah well it's obvious that you like Brooklyn," the pink haired girl replies. Now Julia blushes and you all laugh, so it starts with you guessing each other's crush.
"Hilary who's your crush?" Matilda asks.
"I don't have one. I like the boys, but I don't like any of them like that," she replies confidently.
"Yeah right, that's why you're always glancing at Tyson," you comment with a grin. Hilary glares at you as a deep blush forms on her face. You can't help but smirk.
"Now that Reiko mentions it, you and Tyson are always touching each other," Mariah adds.
"We are not!" Hilary yells, trying to hide her deep blush.
"Are too!" Julia argues. You all laugh as you see Hilary become redder and redder.
"Reiko how about you?" Mariah asks curiously. You stop laughing and stare at her. The others look curiously at you.
"Well…I…," you start off, hesitating.
"Oh come on, it's not like we're telling anyone!" the pink haired girl says.
"Yeah nothing leaves this apartment," Julia adds. You smile at them.
"What can I say, I'm hard to get. So far no one has gotten my attention."
"Oh yeah? Not even Kai?" You freeze as Hilary says that, and they all start to laugh.
"Sorry Reiko but the way you two have been around each other it's just too obvious."
You don't say anything, just stare at your nails.
Is she right? Do I really have a crush on Kai?
Today is the day of the ball. You're in your room changing when your phone rings. You pick it up to find it's Hilary.
"Come on Reiko the limo is waiting for you, we didn't think you would be the slowest one of us when it comes to make-up and stuff."
You hear the other girls giggle in the background. You smirk.
"Just carry on to the party and ask if the driver can come back for me, I have some minor details I need to fix, OK? I'll see you there."
"Ok if you say so," she hangs up and you continue getting ready. Twenty minutes later you hear the limo's horn from outside. You walk out, get into the limo, and you're on your way to the party.
(Kais POV)
You're at the party, with a mask and all. The girls arrive and they all look beautiful but Reiko isn't with them. You can't help but wonder where she is, but then you hear the other girls giggle and say she wasn't finished when they came so the driver was getting her now. You smile to yourself.
Who would havethoughtshe would be the longest to get ready?
//Well Kai, I bet she wants to look really amazing so she can catch your attention.//
//Dranzer. What do you mean by that? She doesn't like me like that, we're just friends.//
//How about you ask her? Because I know that at least you want to be more than friends with her. You've wanted that ever since you saw her the first time.//
//No I haven't!//
//When are you going to quit pretending to be thoughtless and heartless? We both know you love her. Now it's only right for you to tell her.//
You don't answer him, just stare at the floor, because you know he's right. A little later Reiko walks through the doors, and you gasp. She looks amazing, you never seen anyone so beautiful. She's wearing a purple and black ball gown with corset lacing on the front and a silver mask with black patterns and purple feathers on. Everyone greats her and tells her how stunning she looks. She thanks them and walks over to you.
"Hi Kai," she says a bit nervously.
"Em…Hi..."
She gives you a smile and you don't hesitate to return it.
A little later the music is playing and everyone is dancing and having a great time. Reiko has danced with many guys, like Tala, Johnny, Garland and Brooklyn. Now you're walking up to her, you take a deep breath and ask her to dance. She gives you a bright smile and takes you hand.
"I would love to dance with you Kai."
Soon you're floating around on the dance floor. You lean in and whisper in her ear,
"You look gorgeous tonight."
Even under the mask you can see she blushes, and you can't hold back a little smile. As the song ends you take her hand and lead her up on the stage.
"Kai what are you doing?" she asks, a little fear in her voice.
"I want you to sing," you explain.
"What? But Kai…"
You look her right in the eye and she stares back at you, confused.
"I want you to sing for me," you say, seriously.
"Sing for you? But what song do you want me to sing?"
"The one you wrote for me," you state as everyone turns towards the stage and the two of you.
(Your POV)
As you hear Kai say that you gasp.
How does he know I wrote a song for him? I must have lost the notes in the room when I left back then. You bite your lower lip and look worriedly at him. The song you wrote for him was a duet, it would sound bad if you were to sing it on your own.
"Kai I…" you try to explain it to him.
"Just start singing," he says and hands you a mic. By now everyone is looking at you. You have a lump in your throat. He motions for the guy at the piano to start playing. You take a deep breath then start singing,
We were strangers,
starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
what we'd have to go through
Now here we are,
and I'm suddenly standing,
at the beginning with you
Now you get worried, because it's here the guy is suppose to join. Then to your surprise a guy does join. You looked over at Kai, shocked to see he's the one singing. As he does he smiles at you, and your eyes fill with tears. He actually learned your song, and now he's singing it with you.
No one told me
I was going to find you,
Unexpected
what you did to my heart,
When I lost hope
you were there to remind me
this is the start
You join in and you both sing the best you can to the joy of everyone watching. (1)
And life is a road
and I wanna to keep going
love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
life is a road
now and forever
wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
in the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you
We were strangers
on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road
and I wanna to keep going
love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
life is a road
now and forever
wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
in the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
And life is a road
and I wanna to keep going
love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
life is a road
now and forever
wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
in the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you
As you finish singing everyone claps and whistles at you. You smile and look at Kai. He smirks back at you and you can't help giving him a hug.
"Thank you Kai," you whisper in his ear.
"You wrote the song, and I really like it," he whispers back. He takes your hand and leads you down from the stage again. Everyone tells you how amazing it was as Kai continues leading you out onto the terrace. When you walk out he takes you a little away from the doors so no one can disturb you. You look at him still with your eyes filled with tears.
"Kai, thank you so much for that. It was wonderful," you say while holding back your tears. He smiles at you. You hug him again and whisper in his ear,
"You're the best friend I ever had."
You notice him sigh. You let go and look at him, worried.
"Kai what is it?" you ask.
"You don't get it do you?" You look at him, confused, as he takes your hands.
"Don't you understand why I got so mad back then when I saw you kiss Brooklyn? How I could recognize you just by seeing you breast during the championship. Why I went through everything to get you back from Boris? Don't you understand the reason I went through all of that. It wasn't because we're just friends."
You look at him, shocked. His words burn and the tears start rolling down you cheeks.
"Don't you understand Reiko? The reason I did all that, is because…because I love you," he says. The tears keep rolling down your cheeks from underneath the mask. Kai looks at you with concern and tries to dry your tears away.
"Reiko, please don't cry. I hate it when you cry. It's even worse when I'm the one making you cry," he says painfully.
You sob and before he can say anything more, you throw yourself in his arms kissing him. For a short moment he's overwhelmed, but then he puts his arms around your waist and hugs you tightly, returning the kiss with much passion. When you part again you're both gasping for air. And you can't help but laugh a little.
"Kai I love you too. Whenever we were apart I felt so empty, like something was missing. I love you so much."
You sob again and kiss him passionately. He returns it without hesitation and holds you close.
"I can't believe I've been so stupid that I didn't tell you before," he says. You smile at him and again you meet in a new breathtaking kiss.
(Mr Dickensons POV)
You glance out the window and see Kai and Reiko kissing. You can't help but smile.
Finally my granddaughter has found someone to take care of her. And I do believe she will be good for Kai too. With that in mind you return to the party with the other teams, now with a bright smile on your face.
