A/N: Hey guys!! This is another story I have been working on, it's a short fic...at least, that's what I'm planning for it to be. It's going to be a Kai x Claire fic and it has completely nothing to do with 'Hello My Darling'. Btw, I'm just testing this story out actually, so if people don't like it, I could stop writing this story and concentrate on only 'HMD' and others. Well, tell me what you think about this story and don't forget to review please! Your review counts if you want me to continue this story, but since I'm merely testing this story out first it may take awhile to update if you like it, so this story may not be on a weekly update program like HMD. I wrote this chapter (JON) sometime ago already, that's why I'm able to update it now. Enjoy. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own HM. I DO own HMD though. :D

A Rude Awakening

It has always been easy for me to move around the world from place to place, leaving relationships behind and starting new ones. I never had a care in the world for anyone other than myself. I can leave a town whenever I want to, I can come back whenever I feel like it. There's no one to stop me except myself and my decisions. I'm just simply satisfying my needs, living life to the fullest…

That is…until I met her.

'You'll never achieve anything in life if all you do is travel.'

I got away from you, that was the main point of traveling in the first place.

'Why can't you be like your brothers? I don't know why God sends you to me as a son.'

So I can follow your steps of becoming just the asshole you always have been, and I thought you were proud of me.

'You're no son of mine, never have and never will be.'

Glad you feel that way, must be the first thing we share in common.

'You're just a waste of breath…Never should have been born.'

I never wished to be born as your son have I?

The cascades of the waves droned the sound of my past as it rolls in the aquamarine sea. The memories of my past life in the city with my family were truly awful, I was never really accepted into the family by my father. Just because I chose not to act and pretend to be a spoiled boy who wants to do nothing but count money like my brothers, my father decided to kick me out of the family tree. 'You are a disgrace to the family, Kai,' was what he last said to me before I packed up all my things and left that asphyxiating house for good.

It has been 5 years since I took myself on a wild journey around the seas of the world, liberating from house of animosity. I have caused my family a great deal of humiliation when the press heard that the founder of the World's most renowned fishing goods have gone missing. And who told the press? Let's just say a handsome man wearing a dark overcoat and Ray ban glasses gave a little hint to the daily press. I was unsurprised when the papers say that the founder's delinquent son was having a few emotional problems and had to take a break in rehab for help. The old man was never creative with excuses.

"Kai! We're almost there so get your bag. Mind telling the other passenger also?" Zack yelled over at me from the steering wheel. I have been sitting here for some time already and I didn't even notice that there was another passenger here. I languidly got up from the wooden bench and walked to the other side of the boat. Where could the passenger be other than the other side? This boat isn't that big to have so much room to hide.

"Hey, whoever is on this boat, get ready…are you listening?" I walked over to the anonymous passenger, tapping the shoulder once, then twice. There was a soft snore vibrating from under the cloak that was clothing the whole unknown's body and head. I sat down next to the sleeping body and moved closer, preparing to whisper into his/her ear. I shook her/him a little and whispered, "Wake up, we're almost there." To my surprise, it stirred a little before turning to face me, still asleep. I was astonished when I saw her face. I didn't see the whole face but already seeing her eyes, I knew she was beautiful. Her jet black eyelashes were long and shimmering. A strand of golden-spun hair fell onto her face, blending in with her pure white skin. Her cheeks were a rosy pink, the only color on her pale face. I gulped, I could feel my hand reach out to brush away that loose strand of hair away from her face…but then she just had to wake up to see me in a intimate position with her. Her eyes which were still a little drowsy and blurry bulged open, her cheeks flushed a crimson red and her mouth opens to let out a blood curling scream.

"Arghhhhhhhh!!! Get away from me, you pervert!! Someone, help!!!" She started screaming and kicking me away, her arms wailing around like she was raving mad. My arms flew up protectively to guard my face, both by instincts and necessity since her fist and kicks were hard as stale corn!

"Ouch! Hey, cut it out! I'm not a pervert! QUIT IT!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs since it seemed like casual ordering were ineffective towards a misguided blond woman. It looked like she wasn't going to stop so I had to use my biggest badass threat. "I'll rape you for sure if you utter one more word and hit me physically!" I growled at her, most innocent naïve girls would have had quivered in their pink 'Hello Kitty' panties when I say those words, but it appears to be ineffective towards her…

-clang!!-

Black out…

--

I slowly stirred…regaining my conscious to find Zack bending down towards me with an iron skillet in his hand and a glass of water in the other.

-splash-

"*cough cough…wheeze…choke* I'm up! I'm not dead!" I sputtered, gradually getting up and leaning on my elbows. I felt a painful bruise at the back of my head, immediately my hand shot up to touch the sore spot, I felt a strange bump. I gave Zack a questionable look…….who simply raised his skillet. He hit me??

"Well I heard something about you going to rape the poor girl so I had to take action. I can't allow the new Mineral Town resident to get molested by YOU on her first day here." With that he left me, striding off the boat and into his miniature wooden house. I looked around me to find that girl but to my disappointment she was gone already since we must have reached the pier for some time now. It was dark too. I got up on my legs, took hold of my backpack, and started making my way through the sand to get to the inn.

"New resident huh?" I muttered under my breath, walking out of Rose Square.

That's it, short huh? Well, it's a short fic, it's suppose to be short. XD In my opinion at least. Like I said at the top, if you like it and wish for me to continue writing 'Just One Night', tell me your thoughts and review.

Thanks for stopping by!! :)
