Chapter 40
A Kiss From Heaven
.:Violet:.
She was grateful when Lou offered them rooms for the next week so he can train them to win the Blade Cup but problem is that she hated training with him. He's worse than Sensei Wu, he hates everything they do except Zane. She sighed and the worse thing is that she has to share rooms with the boys and Jay and Cole won't stop snoring! She rolled over to see the alarm clock and it was five in the morning, when the shops would be open.
Sure Violet didn't like training with Lou but she has to give something to him to show their gratitude. Silently, she got out of bed and turned invisible. She walked over to her bag of clothes –they picked it up from the bounty last night- and changed into a pair of skinny jeans with a white tank top and a black leather jacket. She cast her invisibility charm off and she sat on her bed and pulled her boots on. Once she did, she went through her bag again and found a bit of cash her sister gave her. She placed it in her pocket and she was about to leave and she heard her name whispered.
"Violet? Where are you going?" She heard Kai asked groggily as he sat up. Poor Kai only just started using his leg and Lou have been abusing it, saying it's out of position and not bend or straight enough.
"I'm going shopping for food."
"I'll come, just give me a moment to get ready." She heard him reply and she nodded. She quietly exited the room and waited for Kai to come out. Once he did, they both silently made their way to the front door and exit it.
"How's your leg?" She asked as they both started to head down to the shops. Dark clouds hung over their heads and she instantly knew a storm was coming soon.
"A bit sore but it's good." He replied and silence settled between them. Violet wasn't that much of a talker but she couldn't stand the silence for much longer. Lucky for her, Kai started the conversation.
"Do you think we can win the Blade Cup?"
"To be honest, no. I don't see how we can if Lou keeps correcting our mistakes. We've only been though the first twenty seconds of the song and there's still another two minutes." She sighed.
"Well you have a really nice singing voice." He said and she turned her head to look at him but he didn't look her way. A small blush crept up to her cheeks and she looked down at the path they were walking on.
"Thanks." She said quietly and she placed her hands in her jacket's pocket. Just as she was about to say something, something small dropped on her head and she took one hand out of her pocket and held it out. More droplets of water landed on her hand.
"We should be quick before the storm comes." She heard Kai said and just as she was about to agree, he took her hand and ran to the shops. She looked at their linked hands and the image of them making out popped up in her head.
The rain started to pour heavy and Violet felt cold from the rain. She hated that Lou lives far from the shops and they have to walk there. Her boots hit the muddy ground, splashing muddy water onto her jeans. She cringed as the jeans stuck onto her skin and her wet caramel hair stuck to her face. But the next event happened so fast.
.:Kai:.
He didn't know why he grabbed her hand but he did and he didn't regret it. Her hand was small compared to his and slightly rough from training as a ninja but they were still beautiful. He went to look back at their linked hands before looking at Violet who looked like a cat who has been thrown into a bucket of icy water. From this distraction, his foot feel in a ditch and he ended up tripping, bring Violet down on top of him. He groaned but he immediately went to check up on Violet.
"Violet, are you alright?" But her shocked face turned into a smile and she started laughing so he did too.
"You got mud all over your hair." She laughed and her hands combed through his hair. He wished she could do that all the time, it felt really nice. "Come on, let's find shelter."
She pushed herself up before helping Kai up. They both ran to a park where a sheltered picnic table was. Kai sat on the table and slowly massage his leg and he looked at Violet who took off her jacket, revealing her soaked white top which showed her red bra.
"You might want to take off your jacket if you don't want to catch a cold." She told him and he nodded. He unzipped his jacket and placed it on the table. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Violet bending over, wringing the water out of her hair.
"Umm Violet."
"Yeah?"
"Your shirt is white."
"Soo..?"
"Do you know what happens to a white shirt when it's soaked?" He asked and her face immediately turned red like her bra.
"Don't look!" She barked and he laughed at her expression but he turned his head to look at the park. "What happened this morning is between both of us."
"Deal." He replied with a small smirk tugging on the side of his mouth but his amber eyes looked at the trees through the rain. The rain kept pouring and it was getting harder and harder. "I don't think will lighten up anytime soon, I think it's going to get rougher."
"That's my thinking as well." He heard her mumble behind him.
"Well we're already near the shops so we may as well go shopping and sprint back to Lou's house." He suggested.
"Ok." He heard her reply before hearing her zipping up her jacket. He turned around with his jacket in his hand and he nodded at her. They both ran out from the sheltered table and ran to the shops. Once they got to the entrance, Violet wringed her hair once again.
"Are you coming or not?"
"Yep!"
.:Violet:.
Once they had paid for their shopping, they both walked outside and she frowned when she saw that the rain was falling much harder than when they went in. She heard a sigh from Kai and she looked at him.
"Ready to run?"
"And slip like before?" He asked and she laughed at his remark.
"Come on then." And like that, she ran off with four shopping bags in each hand.
"Oi! Wait up!" She heard him yelled and she couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Her boots splashed mud water everywhere and she tried bring the shopping bags closer to prevent getting mud and water on them. She heard heavy footsteps behind her and she craned her head around and saw Kai was gaining up. She sprinted faster even though her wet jeans constricted her movement. Once she saw Lou's house, she looked behind to see Kai right on her trail. She stopped right underneath the awning in front of the door and she turned to look to Kai who stopped right next to her. A laugh left Violet's lips when she saw the state of his hair. Unlike its previous style, it lost all the gel so his hair hung down.
"What's so funny?"
"Your hair." She smiled and she placed the shopping down and tried to fix his hair. "It won't stick up…"
"Oh, so you prefer if my hair have gel? I remember you complained about it."
"Yeah but you look so different." She smiled watched him carefully as he placed the shopping down and his hand reached out for her cheek.
"You have mud all over your face."
"I do?" She asked and a soft chuckle came from his lips and his hand rested on her cheek. She casted her eyes down; finding it too awkward if she looked at his face. His thumb softly brushed against her cheek and she felt an uneasy sensation in her stomach. His hand left her cheek but his fingers softly held her chin. When she felt his breath against her cheek, her heart rate quickens and she felt her stomach dancing. She felt push her chin a little bit making her head tilt back and she was forced to look at his face. His face was leaning closer and this caused her to go nervous. She closed her eyes, hoping the nervousness would go away but it didn't. Her breath came out shakily as she felt Kai's warm breath on her lips. Then Violet felt his bottom lip touched her bottom lip. He didn't move to kiss her though. She didn't know what to do or what she wanted. Did she really want Kai to kiss her? That image of them making out didn't seem in this atmosphere but should she change the course of their fate by pushing him away? But even she did kiss him, what does she do with her arms? Wrap them around his neck, shoulders or back? She can't do any of those with his hand on her chin. So she made up her mind and placed her arms slightly behind her. After a couple of seconds, he moved her chin up so their lips were fully planted and his other arm held her waist. Then he kissed her. Her stomach tightened into a knot when his hand moved from her chin and down to her neck; his touch sent tingly sensations down her skin that made goosebumps form on her arms.
It wasn't one of those rough and passionate kiss, it was more like a sweet and gentle kiss. Violet found her own lips moving in sync with his and her arms made their way around his neck. His hand that was on her neck moved to the back of her head and his arm that was around her waist pulled her closer towards him. Then his leaned forward making her curve her back and his lips became more urging. After a while, she felt his lips kiss the side of her mouth and he pulled back a little bit. She opened her eyes to see his face. His wet hair was still hanging low, raindrops were trickling down on the side of his face, his slightly puffy lips were parted as he panted and his eyes showed lust.
Once they both caught their breath, Kai leaned in again but stopped when their lips were centimeters apart. She took this as her cue to kiss him. She inch her lips closer and she felt his lips against her's. She froze and didn't know what to do. But to Violet's relief, Kai kissed her and once again, she closed her eyes and her lips moved with Kai's lips automatically. At least a couple of seconds later, she felt him bite her lower lip, it wasn't painful but it was hard enough to send tingles down. He then pulled a bit and she felt herself melt. She gasped in the kiss when she felt his hand slide up her shirt a bit and rubbed the skin softly. Then she felt his tongue on her lips. Timidly she opened her lips and his tongue darted into her mouth and swirl around her tongue. Violet moved her hands to his chest and she softly him pushed away.
"I-I…" Violet managed to sputter but his hand caressed the spot underneath her ear and a smile stretch on his lips.
"W-What do you think?" Kai asked softly and he leaned his forehead on her's.
"I… don't know." She answered and Kai straightened his back so both of them were standing straight now. "Magical… that was my first kiss." She admitted and she felt heat rising to her cheeks.
"So you don't hate me?"
"I don't hate you."
"But you like me? More than a friend?" He asked her and she sighed. She doesn't know her own feelings for Kai yet. Yes he found his sweet, kind, caring and attractive and they're probably going to hook up in the future but she doesn't know her feelings for him now.
"I have no idea," she answered, "maybe I do but I'm unsure. I don't know what I want and how I feel at the moment."
"It's alright, I'll give you time to think over it." He said and he pulled away from her and immediately, she felt cold. She watched as he picked up the shopping bags and she did the same. She followed him into the house, deep in thought. Perhaps she does like Kai more than a friend but is she really ready for this type of relationship? They both walked towards the kitchen and they packed each item they bought into the panty and fridge. They did this in silence but Violet's mind was in turmoil.
What happens if she hurts Kai? She's still learning to cope with her new powers; what if she accidently hurt him when she tries to do a new trick? Or if someone uses her against him? But what about that vision? The one that she was on the ground and he was defending her from something. If she happens to end up in that position more than once, Kai's life is also on the line because he would do everything to make sure she's alright. But then again, the idea of loving someone does sound good. You always have someone there you can trust and depend on, someone who's there to comfort you.
She looked at Kai who was placing the meat into the fridge. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he looked deep in thought. His hair was still floppy and she quickly sneaked out of the kitchen and into their room. She made her way to Kai's bag and she rummage through his bag looking for his hair gel. Once she did, she walked back out of the room and into the kitchen where she saw Kai with his head on the fridge door and his hands as fist resting on the door as well. She unscrewed the lid and walked over to Kai. She placed a reasonable amount of gel on her hands and ran her fingers through his hair.
"V-Violet?"
"That's me." She replied and she tried getting his hair back to its original style. She created spikes on his head and once she was done, she knew something was missing. Then she realized it was his fringe. "Can you turn around please?"
Kai obeyed her and turned around. She grabbed more gel and parted his fringe into three sections. She made each part a spike and then she moved it to the side.
"Much better." She said softly and a soft smiled made its way onto Kai's lips. She had made up her mind. "And I do like you more than a friend."
What do you guys think? If you ask me, that have to be the best kiss scene I have ever written. Thanks to: legolover101, LightningDanino23, BrightnessandDarknessStories, Mihoshi 2.0 and the two guests for reviewing! Please review, it'll make up my day! And to answer the question about the creature Kai was defending her from, it's the Stone Warrior but of course Violet doesn't know that because Kai was blocking her view.
