Chapter 8: Confusing Love

Kai opened his eyes and groaned. He looked around and saw he was in a dougen of some sort. His eyes then fell onto Airako laying beside him. Her eyes started to opened and she looked at Kai. Then they heard the door opened and they looked at it.

"Welcome." SK said and smirked

Kai and Airako glared at him and they growled. SK laughed evily and formed a portal. The 2's eyes widened as a the portal showed the whole team beat up and on the ground. The only 2 standing was Meeca and Chiro who were back-to-back surrounded by formless. Chiro looked in better condition then Meeca. She had burnt marks all over, while Chiro just had a few buises and scratches.

'Fire Bombs!' Meeca cried, but her attack was shot right back at her and she colasped onto the ground.

'Meeca!' Chiro cried 'Monkey Fu!' Then the fishion ended when Chiro was thrown into a wall.

"Your probably wondering who they are fighting." SK started "I shall show you..."

Then the portal showed Kai and Airako themselves, but their fur was darker and their eyes were emotionless.

'Earth Crumble!' Kai cried and shot Chiro and Meeca again

'Air Bullet!' Airako cried and also shot the 2

The portal faded and Kai&Airako couldn't believe their eyes. They had really hurt their friends. SK then left the speechless monkeys to think. Tears formed in Kai's eyes and he curled up in a ball. Airako looked at him and growled. She slapped him across the face.

"Pull yourself together, Kai!" She scolded and Kai looked really hurt "Sheesh, I could've been paired up with anybody, but insted I was paired up with you!"

"Love." Kai whispered

"What?" Airako asked

"Love, SK is trying to get to us because of love."

"Why on earth would you say that!"

"Because I love you, you love Gibson and he loves you back..."

"Didn't I tell you to stop loving me!"

"Yea, but even if you did say that, I will still love you no matter what."

"Argh, you are so impossible!"

Kai watched as Airako stomped to the other side of the dougen and sat down, her back facing him. Kai rested his chin onto his knees and thought back:

Flashback

Meeca was in her room listening to some music and humming to it, when Kai walked in. Meeca blinked then turned down her music.

"What's up, Kai?" She asked

"Meeca, can you tell me about falling in love?" Kai asked

Meeca blink in confusion, sat back, and went into deep thought.

"Well, I guess you can say it's like a dream."

"A dream?"

"Yea, but it depends on who your in love with."

"Huh?"

"You see if you love the right person it's a dream, but if you like the wrong person it's a nightmare. It depends on how you look at it."

"Really?"

"I guess. That's what I think of it, but why take advice from me? I've never accually fallen in love. Why did you ask?"

"I really like somebody and I just wanted to know."

Meeca smirked and said "It's Airako ain't it?"

Kai was shocked. She had accually knew about it.

"How did you...?"

Meeca snickered "It was obivous to me. I found out when I first met y'all."

Kai smiled and looked at Meeca's radio. He listened closely. Meeca noticed this and turned up the volume. Kai closed his eyes and listened. A certain part of the lyrics caught his ears and Meeca sang it:

'What was I thinking baby
Should've seen the writting on the wall
Never thought you'd ever leave me
Now I know
What were you trying to tell me
I thought about everything you said
Ever since you walked away boy
Now I know

There's no other way to say it
Baby please let's not delay it
Boy I know you feel the same it's in
your eyes
Since you've gone my heart's been missing
I hope that you will listen
Boy without you I won't make it one more night
Take me back I was such a fool I'm dying without you'

Meeca stopped singing and said "That song's called 'Now I Know' by Jessica Andrews. She's one of my favorite top 10 singers."

Kai smiled then left the room leaving a now confused Meeca.

End of Flashback

Kai looked at Airako and sighed. 'Maybe, from what Meeca said, Airako isn't for me. 'Cause this is becoming a nightmare!"

Kai's heart was now turning black and his fur started to turn darker...

----At the ship----

Meeca gasped and stopped right in her tracks. She was still running to Sheka when she felt Kai's dark heart. She looked into space and said:

"Oh, please, Kai. Don't let SK take over you..."

----Back with them----

Kai suddenly gasped and he blinked. He then thought of something:

Flashback

"Hey, Meeca!" Kai called

Meeca turned and asked "Yea?"

"Do you think Airako will ever like me?"

"Sure, if you try hard enough and tell her."

"But what if she doesn't like me?"

"Trust me. She does like you, she just doesn't want to attmit it. You have to try harder and help her see her true feelings for you!"

"Right! I'll try my hardest, Meec'!"

End Flashback

Kai smiled and the darkness left his heart and his fur turned normal. He will try his hardest and win the battle between love and confusion. He'll do anything to make Airako see her love for him. That's just the way true love works...
