The story far: Everything was going good. Kai seemed a bit closer to Seto after that letter, but now something's come in between them. Bakura has returned, the original peacemaker and is wanting his spot back, but instead of scary, he ends up attracted to her and then says some cruel things to Seto who is ready to throw down at gym class and then at lunch Mr. Hinkleman calls Joey, Isis, Seto, and Kai in the room to tell them that Isis is paired with Joey now, Seto's is paired with another girl and Kai was now paired with Bakura.
“Talking”
Thoughts
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------
Kai spent the rest of her class periods spaced out. Where did that whole thing come from? …Do I like him? Ugh! No! I can't like someone like that… Kai ran her fingers through her hair, sighing and leaning against the window. This is so stupid…… The day dragged on, surround Kai with her thoughts. She didn't even answer the spiteful Te'a as she walked down the hall, still analyzing lunchtime. Te'a crossed her arms and bit her lip. She grabbed Bakura as he passed by and he jerked away.
“What have I told you about touching me? Not allowed! Gosh!”
“What's wrong with Kai? She seems a bit, less in the spirit than usual.” Bakura grinned evilly.
“I convinced Mr. Hinkleman to switch partners around in Literature class, with some… “help” from Trish.” Te'a gently tugged on his tie.
“Oh Bakura, you know I don't like it when you mess with my competition.” She said in a fake, whinny, little girl's voice. “It makes me sad to think that I have to compete for the one, true man in my life.” Bakura smiled seductively and jerked his tie from her grasp.
“That my child should be Jesus and I'm not him. I'll fix your little problem so you can be the one to bring her down. Ok?” Te'a grinned satisfied and Bakura walked off.
“Baka.” He mumbled.
“Kisma” She growled as she slammed her locker and went to accompany her groupies. Kai walked down the stairs slowly, still shocked. Her legs gave out, making her fall backwards. Hands gripped her once more and she sighed and looked up. Concerned cobalt eyes met hers.
“Are you gonna be ok, kitty?” Kai sighed and nodded.
“I'll be fine, red.” Isis eased her down the stairs and sat beside her.
“Are you sure, I know what he said was mean and all, but you should be fretting that much about it.” Kai shrugged.
“I mean, I know I shouldn't be caring, but it's like, where did that come from? The whole, liking him thing?”
“Are you mad because he found out that you like him? Do you still like him?” Kai grimaced.
“No I'm not mad, but after that….” She sighed and started the black limo that pulled up. “Yes.”
“Isis, come on! I can't be late!” Malik yelled from his car, another blonde haired boy sitting the back with a scowl line on his forehead.
“Well I gotta go Kitty; we'll talk more tonight, eh?” Kai nodded and hugged her goodbye. As soon as their car drove off, another body plopped down beside Kai. She was immediately shocked to see Bakura staring at her.
“Wha-” He grabbed her hand and began petting it.
“You look a little….upset. I really don't like it when my friends are upset….especially friends like you.” Kai slipped her hand gently from his and clamped it firmly under her arm.
“Friend? You've barely known me for a day and you consider me a “special” friend?” Bakura smirked.
“I like to look into the future and you look like someone I would really like to get to know.” Kai blushed slightly and looked down.
“So I guess God gave you the gift of prophecy?”
“I try to use it for good reasons.” Kai rolled her eyes laughingly.
“And how do you know that I'm a good reason?”
“Kaiba man seems really interested in you so, I guess there has to be some straight forward good with you. He hasn't been that way in a while.”
“Since Kisara?” Bakura was taken aback by that name, just as Seto had, but less hurt. He brushed it of with a shrug and sighed.
“How do you know about Kisara?”
“I don't know really. I just saw her picture when I went to Seto's house. They were sitting together. I thought that was like his sister or something.”
“Not at all.”
“What happened to her?” Kai asked curiously, titling her head to the side.
“I'll let Kaiba man explain to you. But I wouldn't try anytime soon…I just really found it is still an open wound.”
“Is that why he slammed you down on the bleachers today? Is that why he's acting so PMS?” Bakura chuckled and nodded.
“I said some mean things…well…not mean things exactly. Kaiba man was jealous that I was talking to you and I simply said I haven't seen him act like this towards another person since Kisara and he threw me down…I have to say that some of what I said was out of spite, and it's only because I too had feelings for Kisara, but I was really interested in the fact that another girl has his attention like her.” Kai turned the corner of her mouth up. She must have been some goddess. “You probably think I'm a horrible person don't you?” Kai smiled and shook her head.
“Of course not. Feelings make you do…weird and cruel things…” Like insult someone about something way out of context.
“So…Kai. Some friends and I are going out tonight and…I would really like it if you accompanied me.” Seto, who had happened to be walking down the stairs at the moment stopped when he got to the bottom and turned angry eyes to him.
“Bakura…what the heck do you think you're doing?” Kai stared at Seto long and hard before nodding her head and announcing loudly.
“Of course! I would LOVE to go out with your friends and you tonight” Bakura smiled and touched her cheek gently.
“Bring a friend.” He walked off to his small blue Honda and pull away. She looked at Seto who stared at her shocked and for the third time today, angry. The drive was quiet except for her phone call to Isis to see if she wanted to go out and then a call to her mom to confirm it. It wasn't until she was getting out of the car that Seto had begun to talk to her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her slightly.
“What?”
“You're making a mistake.” Kai raised a brow.
“Really? I thought you didn't care?” She walked pulled away sharply and walked down the pathway to Isis' front door, hearing Seto's black chariot pulling off slowly, the wheels churning the gravel between the creases. Isis opened the door after a couple of knocks on the door from Kai.
“You don't seem too happy to be getting ready to go out.” Isis said folding her arms.
“Seto drove me here, do you think I'm supposed to be all happy, happy, joy, joy?” Kai followed Isis down the shadowy hallway and to a wooden door and down gray concrete stairs. Isis stopped as they reached the bottom and sighed.
“This is my room, I can explain…most of your questions about it, but if you tell anyone, I'll pulverize you.” She opened the dark green door and walked through. Kai stood in the door shocked. Her room was actually the basement and the basement happened to be…pink! She stepped slowly into the room seeing a large bed on the other side of the room, underneath the window with black covers and pillows, a rack with surf boards on them, two white sliding doors that looked like it lead to the closet and one yellow wood door which Kai assumed was the bathroom. She had stands that held her stereo, alarm clock, and a place for her phone to charge which was all to the left of her bed and a small bookshelf with no space left for any other books, some lying on the floor. She also had a huge, circular, blue and black rug at the foot of her bed. She also had a yellow plaid couch on the opposite side of the room along with stands for her guitar, drum set, violin, and piano, along with a desk for her snazzy laptop.
“Pink? That's unexpected.” Isis shrugged as she plopped down on her bed.
“I was a normal girl at one point in my life.” Kai chuckled and sat on the rug.
“So why are you looking so down Kitty? What did Seto do?” Kai pulled her knees to her chest sighing.
“Well right after you left, Bakura came and sat beside me and he is really into me.”
“How do you know that?” Kai gave her the brow.
“He said it and hinted at it afterwards. So anywho, he asked me to go out with him and some friends tonight and Seto was coming down the stairs and I was so mad at him, I said yes. Then Bakura told me to bring a friend and left.” Isis shook her head confused.
“Why would Seto care?”
“I don't know, but I know that it's not mainly me. I don't even think it has to do with. It has to do with some girl named Kisara!” Kai violently plucked a piece of thread from the carpet out of spite, awaiting a response from Isis. After waiting for a while she looked up to see Isis staring off into space. “Um, hello?!” Isis jumped slightly, laughing nervously and rubbing the back of her neck.
“Yeah…Kisara.”
“What do you know about her?” Isis shrugged as she slide off her bed and walked towards the closet.
“I mean the normal. Seto and she used to date. She like practical lived with him and he focused all his attention towards her, even more than work, but still did well.” Kai slowly walked towards Isis.
“What happened to them? Why'd they break up?”
“They didn't.” Isis browsed through her clothes.
“Well, what happened to them?” Isis froze for a second before yanking out a navy blue white polka dotted dress with a white belt with big navy blue and yellow circles.
“This will look really pretty on you, don't you think?” She brushed past her walking to one of her dressers, pulling out a small white t-shirt along with a white tank with navy blue floral print and white, blue, and brown plaid shorts.
“Isis, don't to this to me.” Kai said following her into the bathroom.
“I'm not doing anything!”
“Why won't you tell me? Why won't anyone tell me?” Isis sighed.
“It's nobody's business to tell. I mean…we can, but…we swore never to tell unless Seto said it was ok.” Kai sighed as she stared at Isis for a few moments then nodded.
“Fine.” Isis held her hand.
“Come on, let's just be happy. You're about to go out with someone totally different, you shouldn't be down about something like that!” Kai smiled as she took the dress and white t-shirt from her.
“You're right. Let's get ready to roll.” It didn't take them long to get ready, they quickly got their clothes on, scrambling for make up and then lounging around in the room after calling Bakura and giving him directions to Isis' house. Isis blasted the music from her stereo as Kai danced around the room singing along and Isis quickly amped up her air guitar.
“Do you believe in God? Written on the bullet? Say yes to pull the trigger. Do you believe in God? Written on the bullet! And Rachel pulled the trigger.” Isis got on one knee, over exaggerating one guitar solo followed with the bridge.
“How many will die? I will die, I……..I…..I …will say YES!” Kai screamed at the brush as the door creaked open. They both jumped to see Bakura smiling at them while covering his ears. Isis turned it off as Kai straightened out her clothes.
“Can you play it any louder?”
“Actually, yes.” Isis said smirking and Kai chuckled nervously.
“Hey.” Kai said awkwardly, then turned quickly as Isis picked up her slack.
“So um where are we going?”
“It's a surprise.” Kai clapped her hands together as Isis got her shoes on.
“Well, let's get ready to go shall we?”
