Apart In The Pain
Chapter 11: Happy Trails
"Fallen Angel! Fallen Angels!" Chanted the crowd. Backstage Mika, Kisa, and Sydney all got ready to go on, while Michael paced back and forth by one of the exit doors awaiting for the last girls arrival.
"She'll be here," Mika stated calmly.
"Its 4 minutes until show time and…" He started.
"She'll be here," Sydney and Kisa stated together. Michael sighed then leaned against one of the walls tapping his foot in impatience.
They all looked up as the back stage door opened and Andrea slowly came in. She was wearing her outfit for the concert, and she smiled warmly at everyone.
"Hey. What's up?" She asked.
"What's up? What's up?!" Michael demanded, "I'll tell you..." He was cut off as Kisa dragged him away.
Lana smiled and looked at Mika, who was giving her a look.
"What?" She asked.
"Why were you late? You're usually the early one," she commented.
"Oh, yea... sorry about that," Kailana laughed nervously. "I got distracted."
"Yea, distracted by Kai," Mika joked and Lana blushed.
"I knew it," Sydney stated in a sarcastic tone.
Lana stuck her tongue out at her then smiled.
"So, don't we have a concert to do?" She asked. The other two girls nodded and they headed on stage all smiling and laughing.
Kisa was already waiting for the girls, well, sort of. She and Michael were busy having a... moment which made Sydney, Mika, and Lana laugh as they took their places and Kisa blushed. Michael simply cleared his throat as professionally as he could and walked off stage casually.
Kailana put her guitar strap over her head and rested it on her shoulders.
"Are you ready for this Lana?" Mika asked from next to her.
Kailana looked at her best friend and smiled.
"Absolutely." Mika nodded and took her place on the stage.
Slowly after some last second tuning the curtain began to slowly rise. The Fallen Angels were welcomed by the scream and cheers of their fans. The girls all smiled and Sydney hit her drum sticks to begin the first concert since Kailana got off the mend.
Mika and Kailana began to play their guitars together and Kisa joined them.
Finally, Lana began to sing, "Maybe if my heart stops beating it won't hurt this much..."
The fans cheered, jumping and danced along with the song. Throughout the concert Mika and Kailana sang their songs, and they moved all over the stage, but it was obvious that Lana was taking it easy since she was still healing somewhat.
Kai, the Granger family, and the former blade breakers all had seats in the front row and watched Kailana and the rest of the girls proudly.
Kai smiled at her when she looked down at him, he was calmly sitting in his seat while Tyson jumped around with enough energy for five people.
Lana and Mika ended their song full of energy, when they finished the last note the crowd went wild for the band. Slowly they went silent as Kailana gained their attention.
"The next song is on our CD as a bonus track. It features a friend to the bands, and someone very special to me. May I present to you, former beyblader and my boyfriend, Kai Hitwari," she announced.
Everyone cheered as Kai stood up and made his way onto the stage for the song that he and Kailana were going to sing together.
Kai smiled as he stepped up the microphone.
"This was originally a one person song, but we'll make it work." He winked at the crowd and half the girls fainted while the rest screamed.
Kailana giggled helplessly, and then she strummed her guitar. Once again everyone's attention was on the stage.
"So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place?
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone could you make it on your own.
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go..." Kai sang as he stared at her.
She smiled and began to sing as well, "If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all."
As they sang the crowd grew silent wanting to hear the duo sing this song as if they were the only two people on the stage.
Kai smiled as he pulled Kailana close.
"I'll go wherever you will go," he said softly staring into her eyes before he kissed her.
Everyone cheered for the two and their finished duet. Kailana blushed a deep red from Kai giving her a kiss in front of thousands of people.
When Kai broke the kiss he smiled. Looking out at the crowd he thought for a moment.
"Would you guys like another song?" He asked. The crowd cheered in response.
She looked at him in question, "What song?" She asked in a whisper.
"One I wrote for you," he replied. "This time you just get to listen."
She smiled and stood out of the way for Kai and Mika smiled as she too watched. Kisa and Sydney waited for a cue from Kai.
Kai was handed a guitar and he placed the strap around his neck, adjusting the strings quickly. When ready he nodded to Kisa and Sydney.
Turning back to the microphone Kai started to sing.
"What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive"
Kailana blushed more and more throughout the song and Mika slowly went over to her microphone and acted as a background singer for Kai. Everyone in the stadium cheered for Kai.
Kai took a bow and smiled over at Kailana.
She smiled back and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"And that's the show for the night!" Mika called giving a peace sign.
The crowd cheered and chanted 'Fallen Angels' and 'Kai'.
"You sure you don't want to join the band?" Mika questioned as they all walked backstage. Kai laughed.
"No thanks," he replied.
Kailana was stilling beaming a smile and hanging on Kai's arm dreamily.
Michael walked up to tell them what a great show it had been.
"That's too bad, you got quite a welcome out there. If you ever change your mind, and you should, give me a call," he said handing Kai his business card.
Kai shook his head.
"My patients mean more to me than music ever will," he said.
Michael nodded understanding, "Alright, but just in case," he stated then smiled at Lana. "You're lucky, but I'm proud of my Kisa too." Kisa blushed, he then took Kisa's hand and they walked away.
"Time to head home?" Kai questioned looking down at her.
She nodded and yawned, then turned to Mika and Sydney. "See ya guys," she stated with gave them hugs. Then she and Kai left.
She and Kai had ridden his motorcycle to the concert. Kai handed her helmet and then put his own on before he climbed on the bike and waited for her to climb on behind him.
She joined him on the bike then they drove off.
When they came to a stop light Kai looked back over his shoulder at her.
"I have a surprise for you," he stated.
She looked up at him, "What?" She asked softly.
"You'll see," he said as the light changed and turned to the left, home was right.
"Where are we going?" Lana asked, "Give me a clue."
"Check my back pocket."
She slowly made sure she wouldn't fall off the bike and took a small object out of Kai's pocket, "A key?" She asked softly. "For what?"
Kai put on his blinker and turned to the right into a small parking lot. He pulled into a parking spot that said C3.
"C3," he answered pointing up the side of a nice apartment building.
Kailana got off the bike and looked up at the building then at Kai as she took off her helmet, "...Did you... did you buy an apartment?" she asked.
Kai took off his helment with a smile.
"What do you think?" He questioned.
Lana squealed with joy and hugged Kai tightly, then gave him a kiss. "I love it!" She exclaimed.
He chuckled.
"You haven't even seen the inside yet."
She smiled and let him get off the bike then lead her inside.
The only unfortunate thing about the apartment building was that it did not have elevators yet, but was being renovated so it would within the next year and a half.
They had to climb three flights of stairs to the apartment and Kailana excitedly unlocked the door but Kai stopped her from walking in. When she looked back in question her only answer was his picking her up bridal style and carrying her into the apartment.
She giggled as he walked through the door with her.
Once inside Kai set her down and flipped on the lights. In view was a coat closet, bathroom and a closed door on their right, a kitchen on their left and straight ahead a large living room, the living room and kitchen were separated by a bar.
There was a door on the right beyond the coat closet that led to the master bedroom, a towel closet and a bathroom.
It was dark so it was hard to see but through the closed blinds on the large window Kailana could see sparkling lights.
"That's actually a balcony," Kai told her.
She smiled and went to look when she turned around Kai was right behind her. She smiled and hugged him again, "I love it."
He wrapped his arms around her loosely and looked down into her eyes.
"I'm glad I made a good choice then," he said.
She smiled nodding, and then she laughed, "I hope my father doesn't kill us."
"He shouldn't," Kai stated and pulled away. "Hang on just a minute okay?"
She watched him curiously, and then laughed quietly, "What are you doing?"
"You'll see," he said again starting into the master bathroom.
"More 'you'll see's'?" She questioned and Kai just threw her a smile over his shoulder as he closed the bathroom door.
He was gone for exactly ten minutes, Kailana counted. Before he closed the door back when he came out she saw flickering, but not by what caused it.
"Check out the bathroom," he told her.
She gave him a suspicious look then followed his directions and went into the bathroom.
When she opened the door she gasped, there were candles everywhere, all soft pink or purple giving off the scents of lavender or roses. Each flickered and reflected in the large mirror, which is where her eyes were drawn to next. This time when she gasped her hands came up and covered her mouth. In Kai's handwriting, in something she couldn't tell what, was written these four words.
'Will you marry me?'
She turned to Kai, who looked nervous, she smiled and began to cry as she nodded, "Why wouldn't I?" She asked.
Kai smiled and came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist as he kissed her temple.
Kailana responded to this by kissing Kai on the lips.
"I love you Kai Hiwatari," she stated.
"And I love you Kailana Granger, soon to be Hiwatari." He smiled as he said that.
She giggled again and let Kai placed an engagement finger on her ring. Once again the couple kissed and were happy that they were finally together and no one could ever separate them again.
