12th story
Chapter 12, See You Soon

Kai and Raven entered Kai's room at the hotel. Kai took off his scarf and tossed it on a chair. He turned and fell back on the couch. Raven flopped on a bed. They laid there for about fifteen minutes. Raven flipped over on the bed and sat up. She leaned her back against the bed rest.
"When are you guys leaving?" Raven asked.
Raven looked at the clock and saw it was five thirty.
"Nine I think," Kai answered.
"So what are you going to do until then?" Raven asked.
"I don’t know," Kai mumbled.
"How about we talk?" Raven asked.
Kai didn't answer.
"What about training?" Raven asked.
Kai still didn't answer. Raven sighed.
"Let me guess. Ignoring Raven until she gets pissed," Raven said.
"I like that choice," Kai said.
Raven growled and picked up a pillow and threw it across the room. She saw the pillow land somewhere on the other side of the couch. She waited for a response. Kai peeked over the couch at her in an evil glare. She could tell she hit him dead on. Raven started to laugh. She fell over laughing. When she bounced back up she was hit by a pillow hard in the face. Kai snickered.
Kai fell back on the couch and closed his eyes. He started to feel like he was being watched. So he opened his eyes. Raven stood behind the couch glaring at him. She jumped over the couch on Kai and smothered him with the pillow. She released after 20 seconds. Kai took a deep breathe.
"You could have killed me," Kai coughed.
"I'm not that stupid. I know," Raven said.
Kai reached down for a couch pillow on the ground.
"You sure about that," Kai said.
Raven raised her pillow over her head. Kai smacked her in the face with his pillow.
"Hey that hurt," Raven said.
"It was just a pillow. Now get off of me," Kai said.
Kai got up pushing her off of him.
"I'll show you hurt," Raven said.
She swung the pillow at the back of Kai's head. Kai fell over. Kai jumped up smacked her in the gut. For about a half an hour they ran around the room having a pillow fight. Kai fell on a bed. Raven sat on the edge of the bed.
"I'm exhausted," Raven said.
Kai lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. How dose Hiro know Raven. He seems to know something I don't know. Maybe something Raven doesn't know either. What did he mean by the jacket thing? What is it that Raven is hiding on her back?
"Kai are you okay?" Raven asked.
Kai looked down at Raven. She was sitting on the edge of the bed tilting her head toward him.
"Yeah," Kai answered.
"You’re a bad lair," Raven said.
Kai and Raven sat in quite.
"You were thinking about what happened earlier with Hiro," Raven said.
"Maybe," Kai said.
"Thinking about what could be on her back, or Hiro making you think I'm trouble and will turn on you," Raven said.
Kai sat up and looked at her.
"Raven what is on your back?" Kai asked.
Kai saw her shiver.
"Raven," Kai said.
He reached out to her. She nudged away. He pulled his hand back. She stood and walked over to the side of the bed slowly. Kai watched her. She took off her jacket quickly tossing it over her head. She looked at him. Kai didn't notice before that she was really slim. She also had small abs. Kai eyes started to travel up to her chest. She wore that small tube-top. She had a very tall torso and medium legs. It's like I'm seeing her for the first time.
"Do you have problems looking at my face?" Raven asked.
Kai eyes shot up toward her face. She was smiling. Kai face went beat red with blush.
"Uh I'm I a sorry," Kai mumbled.
"No worries you're not the first guy. Most of them drool at first," Raven laughed.
Kai kept his eyes on her face. She slowly turned around and sat down in front of Kai. What the hell? Kai couldn't speak. Her entire back was covered in large tattoo.
"Raven what is this?" Kai asked.
"It’s a tattoo idiot," Raven answered.
"I know that but why?" Kai asked.
"Don't know I can't remember getting it. It's something of my past. If you look close you can see something else on it," Raven said.
Kai got closer to really exam it. The back of her tube-top was see through so Kai could see her entire tattoo. The tattoo was mostly a big blue dragon. Its wings reached up and almost over her shoulder. The dragon had a slim body with skinny arms and legs. It had a long neck also, though its wings had to be twice as big as the body. Vines, water and fire was all around the dragon. Below the dragon was the name Nevaeh. This dragon is her bit beast. Above the dragon was the name Raven. And her name too. Kai got even closer. His eyes widen.
"What is this?" Kai asked.
Kai reached out and traced one of the many large scars on her back. She shivered.
"Don't know either. There scars all other my back. The tattoo of the dragon is Nevaeh as you probably read. And my name above him. This tattoo actually helped me remember some of my past. I discovered it some time after I started to remember things. It was in a public shower. That is how I found my name and found Nevaeh," Raven said.
Kai traced another scar with his finger. I have many scars from my past also. Mentality and physically. Kai pulled his hand back. Raven turned around and looked at Kai.
"I can't believe you didn't see it before. When you bandage up my wounds the first time we met," Raven said.
"Well I didn't need to do anything to your back, so I didn't notice it before. Why don't you want people to see it and how dose Hiro know about it?" Kai asked.
"In the past when I had my jacket off people would stare and question. Hiro, well I have know clue how he knows," Raven answered.
They were quite. There wasn't much to say now. Raven looked at the clock. It was 6:45. He will leave soon.
"Kai if you don't mind, but could I take a shower in your bathroom?" Raven asked.
"Uh sure go a head," Kai answered.
She got up and walk around the bed. She opened the door to the bathroom.
"Don’t' worries I will be out before you leave," Raven said.
She then shut the door. Kai sat there in silence. He heard the shower turn on. He fell back on the bed. What is she? Kai grabbed a pillow and put it under his head. He slowly drifted off into sleep.

About 30 minutes later Raven came out of the bathroom. (Wearing her tube-top and pants.)
"Ah that felt great," Raven said.
She looked around the room and saw Kai lying on the bed. He can't trick me this time. Raven ran over to the bed and jumped on it. Kai bounced up.
"What the hell is going? I was trying to sleep" Kai shouted.
Kai turned over and glared at Raven. Oops maybe he was trying to sleep.
"Sorry I thought you were faking it," Raven said.
Kai grunted and turned over.
"I'm going back to bed," Kai growled.
"You can't," Raven said.
Raven jumped on him. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"Get off," Kai mumbled.
"No," Raven said.
Kai got up and pushed her off the bed. She fell on her butt. Kai stood and was about to fall on the other bed. Raven jumped over the bed and tackled him down to the bed.
"Raven," Kai growled.
"That hurt you jerk," Raven said.
Kai shook his head. He rapped his arms around her. Raven blushed. Though Kai only swung her to the side and jumped on her.
"No fair I wasn't ready," Raven laughed.
"To bad," Kai said.
Kai waited a minute then rolled off of her. Raven flipped back behind Kai. They lay head to head.
"What are you really going to do when I'm gone?" Kai asked.
"I don't know. I guess I'll go to Australia and wait for you. Enjoy the sites. I heard it's really beautiful there," Raven said.
Raven looked at the clock again for the third time. It was almost 8:00.
"You keep on looking at the clock. Why?" Kai asked.
"Just counting down the time until you have to leave," Raven answered.
She got up and crawled over next to Kai face. She looked at him. He was staring at the ceiling. He looked over at her.
"What?" Kai asked.
"Nothing," Raven said.
Kai stared back at the ceiling. Kai closed his eyes. Raven gazed at him. I don't care if he is watching me right now. He can't control my feeling. Raven then noticed something about Kai's breathing. He's asleep again. Kai slowly reached for his face. She cupped his right cheek with her hand. He is really asleep this time. He needs his sleep I suppose. Actually I'm getting pretty tired myself. Raven yawned. She laid he right hand on Kai's chest and fell asleep.

Kai woke with some one banging on his door.
"Kai," A voice said.
Kai eyes opened. He looked toward the door. He looked over and saw Raven sleeping next to him. He removed her hand from his chest slowly. He walked to the door and opened it. Tala was standing with a bag.
"Let's get going. Our bus is here," Tala said.
Kai nodded. Tala's eyes wonder behind Kai. Kai shut the door in his face. He walked over and grabbed his scarf and put it on. He grabbed everything together in his nap shack. He swung it over his shoulder. He looked at Raven. I guess I have to leave without saying goodbye. Kai put down his bag and walked over to her. He grabbed some blankets from the other bed and covered her. He bend down next to her close to her ear.
"Raven I'm leaving I'll see you in a week," Kai whispered.
He stood and grabbed his bag. He walked to the door and looked back then walked out the door. It was quite in the room. Raven opened her eyes slowly.

Kai walked out of the hotel and saw a bus. Tala and the others were already on. Kai walked up to the bus and looked back at the hotel. He looked up at his window. He saw her looking out the window rapped in a blanket. She put her hand to the window. Why is it that I think he isn't coming back, though he is only leaving for a week. Kai started at her then waved to her as he was getting on the bus. See you soon Raven.

What can happen in a week between them? I want to get a tattoo like hers. Just not with scars. Hope your liking my story so far.
