SPENCER, IAN AND BRYAN : JUST FRIENDS

Chapter 1:

It was bright sunny day in the Moscow city. The weather was particularly nice & warm today as compared to the chilling breeze which graced the city for the majority of year..

Inspite of the calm & serene atmosphere our ardent Julia was in a very foul mood..

"Oh, come on Jules, there are still plenty of shops left to choose from".

"No, there aren't; that was the most prominent & expensive shop, but they had freaking devilsticks for centerpiece ! Just because I used to perform as clown doesn't mean I will have circus theme wedding" ...

Stacy sighed for the umpteenth time at her soon to be sister in law..

Sure, she was fond of her a lot & respected her but on days like this she wondered how her cyborg brother fell in love with her..

Julia was a very choosey person, and there were very few occasions where she can be satisfied with something..

"I am going to give Tala a real piece of mind for sending me to this junk".

"But Tala only suggested Rigose Diva, rest of places were your choice"..

"Ya, but this is his country & his city, I bet I would have gotten best decors & themes at Spain". fumed Julia..

'Why did I ever agree to come with her, God save me..'

Stacy thought wearily, too tired to argue with her.

"Hi, Jules & Stace, what are you two pretty ladies doing out here".

" Last time I checked it was a free country Mr. Terminator"

Stacy snapped. Apparantly being rummaging around for hours without any profitable result have taken its toll on the poor girl.

"Whoa! Hold your ponytas dolly, i was just joking "exclaimed Spencer..

Stacy hmphed and looked away.

"What's wrong Stacy, you look pissed".

asked Spencer. He was really concerned now. Blitzkrieg boys treated Stacy as their own sister since she was young & were very protective of her so it was natural to get worried..

Julia rolled her eyes and said, "Of course she is, we have been roaming around the streets for hours & still haven't got a single useful wedding item"..

Oh, now Spencer understood, to satisfy Julia was even more difficult than making Kai laugh..

'Better get away before she makes me her slave dog too..'

"Oh, well Spencer", Julia said sweetly; too sweet for his taste..

'Crap, danger! Red alert, must leave this place now..'

"It was nice meeting you ladies but"...

"But now you are coming with us to help in shopping".

"But I have an important meeting you see"..

"Cut the slack Spencer, if you had a meeting you won't be roaming around so carelessly here besides I will tell Tala that you refuse to help with his wedding, that you don't like his fiance & are against this marriage". Julia said dramatically.

"Woah where did that come from?, fine I will come"

'geez such a drama queen.'

He thought with disbelief as Julia's expression changed from furious to happy in a split second.

"Thanks a lot, come on let's go".

with that she dragged both Spencer & Stacy to the car..

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

In Japan

'Well I have decided that the tag team format should be dissolved & that's final".

But sir, it was"..

'No buts this is my final decision, meeting is dismissed. "

with that our BBA chairman Tyson left the hall.

Its been four years since he became the head. After Mr. Dickinson (FORMER BBA HEAD) retired, the responsibility was passed on to the most experienced person, which was him.

His brother Hiro already declared that he will have nothing to do with BBA & was currently living in Hokkaido, teaching psychology in college.

It was just two years before that they were able to organise a proper tournament which involved tag team.

But this year Tyson decided to change it & relaunch the old format similar to like they fought in 1st World championships.

"I am so dead tired today, hmm I know I should go to cafeteria & grab a piece of hamburger & head home for a nice nap"..with that he made his way to building cafeteria.

"Tyson wait" !

He heard chief call out his name & paused in his tracks.

"Hey Kenny what's up, you updated the new DEVICE core? ".

Kenny was the head of the Scientists at BBA Association..

"Oh, ya sure I did Ty, it was hard in the beginning to match their frequency with the updated version but then"...

"OK that's enough, you know Kenny I am not bright at Science"..

"Yes I know, I was just trying to annoy you, Hehehe…"..

" Ya, whatever." Tyson said while glaring at him..

"Oh, by the way I actually came to show you this", with that he pulled out an envelope out of his bag.

"What's this" ?

"It is an invitation to Tala & Julia's wedding. " explained Kenny while handling him the package..

" Eighth of August, Glamcover Hall; whoa! that's just two months from now, they sure are moving fast", said Tyson..

"At least somebody has serious relationship unlike you who changes his girlfriend every single week".. Pointed Kenny.

" For your information, my last girlfriend lasted two months" Tyson said as a matter of fact.

"Anyways, the championships will begin by the end of September, we will have plenty of time to prepare, hey it's not a bad idea & I really need a vacation chief, let's hurry & pack our bags" exclaimed Tyson excitingly..

"But there is lot of time to wedding ".

"I know chief but we haven't been in Russia for years plus we can continue our work from there, we have our headquarters everywhere". Tyson said almost pleadingly.

"OK fine, let's go".

"Oh but wait Kenny! "

"Now what?"

"Let's go eat first I am starving"..

"AAAAGH TYSONNN..!".

In Russia

"Oh my aching muscles! , I swear I am never getting married if I have to shop for my wife like this".. complained Spencer who was holding pile of bags..while Stacy was just a volcano about to burst..

"Are we done now Jules?" she asked with gritted teeth.

"Of course not these were just minor articles we have to get chandeliers, vases, sashes among other million things.."

" Isn't it what wedding coordinators are there for? " Spencer said..

"OH MY GOSH!, how can I forget such an important thing, I am so stupid."

Both Stacy & Spencer sweatdropped at this..

"Umm, yes so why not you hire someone so we can be relieved of this load "

Stacy said as it was the most obvious thing in the world..

"That's okay but how are you guys gonna find someone in such a short notice".

Spencer said, because wedding planners were mostly hired months before marriage & it was even difficult to find a good one in such a short duration.

" Don't worry about that Spencer I have my very own life saver"..

Both Stacy & Spencer raised their eyebrows at this..

While Julia pulled out her cellphone & made a call;

After a few rings someone picked up.

"I was wondering when will you call"..

the person on the another line answered..

"Hi Hilary, I need your help".

Me?The Wedding Planner?

Chapter 2

"Glad, you remembered your best friend", Hilary said sarcastically.

"Geez, I am sorry Hils, you know I have been busy these days with the wedding arrangements, besides it's not like I didn't send you an invitation card", Julia answered with a scowl..

"Of course, I got it", Hilary said laughing..

"So what can I do for you my majeste".

"Why do you always think I call you for some reason, I just wanted to know how my bestie was doing that's all".

" Jules we have known each other over a decade so I can pretty much figure out there is something bothering you, besides you have been really busy these days, So I don't think you will call me out of blue just to ask about my well being". Hilary said smartly

" Fine you win". Julia said slumping her shoulders..

"That, I always do sweetie ".Hilary said with a hint of amusement.

"Don't get so cocky, well listen ; do you remember what I told you few months ago that I won't be needing it because I am a very independent person"..

"Be specific Julia".

"Well I need a wedding planner now".

"Oh I see, so you finally came to your senses ah."..

"Stop mocking me Hils, I need you"..

"You do know that I am a very busy person & have tight schedule as of right now"..

" I know Hils, but you are my friend, help me". Julia said pleadingly...

"Well , the last time I offered to help, you told me , 'I am a big girl & can handle everything no sweat'. " Hilary said imitating Julia's voice..

"Oh OK fine I take that back . But please Hilary my wedding is in your hands now"..

"Well I am not a priest who will conduct it but anyways I knew that one day or the other you were gonna remember me. Don't worry I will be there, that's what friends are for right!." Hilary said smiling.

" Oh Thank God!, Hilary you are the best"..

" Hehe.., it's ok".

"But you have to let me & Tala pay for the tickets".

"Hey , thanks for the offer but I can take care of it".

"No, shush Hils we owe you this"..

" OK, you can add that as an extra to my payment". Hilary said teasingly.

" Ha! Ha!, will do & Thank you very much , bye, see you soon"...

"Bye"... Hilary said hanging the phone.

Hilary was a successful wedding coordinator. During her early teens she was aspired to be a doctor. But by the time she started high school she lost all interest in it. The idea of becoming the coordinator first crossed her mind when she helped in the arrangements of her cousin's marriage. Everyone has praised her taste of things & managing abilities..

She started out working for a local small scale organization..

But her talent was soon noticed by famous French wedding planner group LA VIVA CORA .She has been working here for past five years & had gained the position of their topmost organiser. Of course she had to leave her country & come to live in France but she didn't regret her decision...She has come to love this country as her own. And people were also very friendly here..

" Madame Hilary , Sui is asking if you are still scheduled to go for picking the garter for bride." She heard her assistant Fasis say.

She sighed and said, "Well Fasis I want you to take care of all my schedule & meetings. I am leaving this country in two days. I have an important matter to take care of & I would probably not be back before mid August".

"But, that's a lot of time & besi..."

"I know that but my presence is more important at some other place. Bone journee Mr. Fasis". with that she stormed out of her cabin ...

In China

"Oh, no Kira you should focus your power & concentrate . Strength alone is not the only thing to win battle". Ray explained calmly.

He & Mariah have found the school specialized to teach their village children chinese martial arts and taekwondo .

And this year four of his best students were going to be participating in the championships. So they were really adamant on training them.

"Hey Honey, I came bearing snacks".

Ray heard & turned around to see his beautiful wife.

Yes Wife, they had been married for more than a year now.

Their wedding was a hush- hush affair.

Mariah's father was suffering from cancer & was on the last stage. He had wished to see his daughter getting marrying before he died, Since he didn't have much time left so they got married in a simple ceremony. They didn't even have time to invite their friends. When they later told everyone, they were disappointed but had forgiven them afterwards when they learnt about Mariah's father.

"Thanks Mariah."

"So how is practice going ? These kids look like they have taken quite a beating " She said noticing their worn out faces .

"Oh ya they are really determined to win the tournament " ..

"Reminds me of our days".. She said smiling.

" Sure it does, we also were stubborn kids". he laughed and said.

"So another one to join the marriage club huh. "Mariah said referring to Tala & Julia.

"Hmm, Max & Mariam are already engaged which leaves Tyson, Kai, Kenny, Hilary & Daichi ."

"You can count Kai out too because I don't think that anyone can ever melt his frosted heart.."

" I know, but miracles do happen Mariah, who knows"...

" I know but this is Kai we are talking about Ray." Mariah said dramatically waving her hands.

"Ya I know besides not all are lucky to find a life partner like you"...Ray said lovingly

"Aww", Mariah gushed & placed her lips softly on his...

Ray reciprocated by enveloping her in his arms and deepening the kiss.

In Russia

Demyan had worked at many places & had been in many uptight situations, but he had never ever felt this much nervous & scared in his whole life.

He can practically feel his legs trembling while he looked at the face of his boss who looked even more scarier than Semion, head of the mafia unit in Russia. His lavender Eyes which usually are so attractive and Beautiful now looks like they will tear him thorough.

"So basically you are trying to tell me that you misplaced the files which practically contained many Millions ruble worth documents". Kai said coldly.

"Sssir I.. I told you tha...that I kept it in the...the safe".

"I am giving you 24 hours, if by then those documents are not on my table then I will make sure you won't make mistake again".

" W..Whaat do you mee..mean sir? Demyan asked timidly.

Kai chuckled evily and whispered in his ears, " You don't get it, I will chop of your hands & claw out your eyes because these sensory organs are of no use to you right".

Demyan paled and looked on the verge of fainting, His life was officially over.

He prayed to god to send him his Messiah.

As if answering his calls at the same moment Tala entered in the the plush office of Kai.

"Hi Kai!, threatening your staff members as usual I see". He said with a smirk.

" Leave now Tala I have no time for your shit".

"OK, fine I will go, looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Tala said completely ignoring the death glare of Kai.

"Anyways I came to give you this back, I had to double check a particular clause in this" with that he handled a file to Kai.

Kai looked at him in utter shock, Tala had the file for which Kai was practically planning to murder his employee.

" You mean that you had taken the file".

" Of course who else have the access to the security locker besides CEO & Vice- President".. He said grinningly.

Kai has been the CEO of the Zaibatsu corporations for 6 years now, while Tala was the vice President. When he have taken the responsibility the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

His grandfather had taken huge loans for his illegal experiments & work who was in jail back then till he died 4 years ago . So Kai being his only hire had to mend the damage done by him. It was not easy, But due to his hard work & dedication the company regained its reputation and was listed in top 10 best companies of the world.

" So si..sir c..can I leave n..now" Demyan shakingly asked Kai.

He was thankful to god for saving him..

"Yes go". Kai shortly said and turned to glare at Tala who was smirking..

He was used to Kai's death glare after being his friend for years so he stood unfazed.

After a while Kai gave up & sighed.

" You know Kai, if you keep doing this you will soon be arrested in charge of assaulting your workers".. Tala said smartly.

" I don't need your advice". Kai simply said..

"No, you do Kai, you do. And I know the real reason behind your frustration".

"Oh, well what might that be?. Kai hissed as he walked to the other side of his table.

" You need a woman in your life".Tala stated ..

" A what? " Kai practically yelled.

"Yup!, that's right my friend, after sitting in the office for hours your brain can practically be muddled & the load of company can get on your nerves. You need a stress reliever if you know what I mean" he said slyly..

" If by that you mean to be bossed around whole day by a lady & listen to her endless ranting & watching soapy movies, No thanks I think I will pass".

"No no Kai, I mean losing yourself in her eyes, her touch. Her beautiful laughter is enough to forget all tensions and not to mention the passionate Sex.."

" Stop it right now" Kai said disgustingly...

" I don't want a relationship with anybody now! Never! Ever... "

"Fine no relations but you can have a little fun. Come with me to the strip club tonight, its about time you got laid"..

"You are getting married in 2 months & you still go to such places." Kai said with disbelief.

"No I will just drop you there, besides Bryan & Spencer will be there to give you company".

"Hn, neither am I going to such club nor getting involved with any woman". He said simply.

"You know if you keep this behavior people will mistake you for gay".

' I don't remember showing any interest in males. I am very much straight so stop questioning my sexuality and buzz of"...

"Fine dude, but I do wish to god to see you one day going crazy for someone more than you are for your work and Beyblade." with that Tala left the cabin.

'Hn! Not in a Million Years!.' Kai thought firmly as he decided to check out the file handed to him.

In Japan

Tyson was sitting at his couch in his plush apartment lazily munching on muffins, watching T.V. while Kenny was watching the latest musical video of Ming Ming..

(ming ming, a Famous cute superstar, crush of kenny.)

" Oh Ming Ming! my baby, yes you are the best..." Kenny said dreamingly..

" Will you keep it down chief, her howling is giving me a Migraine. ", Tyson said annoyingly..

" Yup, Kenny he is right why don't you put some earlids & give us a break".. said Daichi..

They all were chilling out at Tyson's house as they liked to call it..

" Funny the only thing you both agree to is stopping me from listening to my gorgeous darlings song" Kenny angrily said & resumed watching.

" I can't take it anymore now, why can't we get any flights this week? I really want to get out of this place" Tyson complained..

"Well if you watch news which I assume you don't you might just figure out that there is a dangerous storm in the Pacific Ocean. So all the flights flying in that direction are cancelled." Daichi explained..

"Thanks for the information braniac.." Tyson said with a scowl..

"I really wanted to be the first one to reach Russia & give Tala and Kai surprise but I don't think I will make it."

"What do you mean Tyson? Who else is going to be there so early? " Chief asked, diverting his attention from the laptop to him...

"I talked to Hils last night she told me that Julia has asked her to be her wedding planner. She is flying to Russia tomorrow evening."

"Ah, whatever! Who cares about their stupid wedding. I cant wait for the world championships to begin, so I can rock the tournament.. Watch out folks, DJ Daichi is here!." he said with sheer excitement..

Tyson & Kenny just sweatdropped at it...

In Russia

Tala opened the door of his apartment and entered the living room and immediately slumped down on couch.

He was exhausted a lot today.

Kai had been pissed at him for taking the files without informing him & made him work for 3 extra hours as a punishment..

"Hey baby! you are finally home. I was beginning to think that you were kidnapped" ..Julia said entering the room..

'Like that can ever happen', Tala thought remembering the infinite times people have been scared to shit by his one intimidating look..

" You look practically beaten today"..

"Ya, well Kai was PMsing today & took out his frustration on me".. Tala responded angrily as Julia chuckled. He sighed then turned his attention to her.

"So how was your day Jules? "

"Fine, I guess. I took off early from the hospital to do some shopping. " she said sitting on the couch next to Tala..

"So, when is Hilary going to be here? " He inquired while shifting closer to her & placing his head on her lap.

" Her flight is actually tomorrow evening so she will be here next day by the afternoon. "...

" So, should I place dinner for you?" she asked..

"Na, I ate in the cafeteria"...

" Ok , then lets head to the bed ..."

Julia said getting up but Tala grabbed her hand..

" Eager tonight are we"... He said with a sexy smirk...

Julia blushed at this, even if she had been in relation with him for eight years, he can still make her heart flutter by just a glance..

" I w...was not talking about that" she stuttered..

" Then what were you talking about." he said huskily while nibbling her earlobe...

Julia moaned at this & pushed him away...

" But you were tired." she said while trying to control her ragged breathing...

"Ya, I was but I am never tired to please my woman." with that he tossed her over his shoulder and took off to the bedroom...

Hilary Tachibana?Sounds Familier!

Chapter 3:

In America

Mariam was driving through the streets of New York city. It has been a busy day for her. With the world championships just 4 months apart, she & her council has spent the whole day finalising the schedule of the matches. Tyson has changed the pattern of the tournament last moment due to which they have to reschedule the places & also inform thousands of competitors about it..

Very few new competitors were familiar with the new pattern, and have protested against it. After a lot of convincing & explanation by the members of board they have finally agreed...

"Just wait until I see you next time Tyson, I am going to give you a good piece of mind for increasing my work."

She mumbled to herself.

"Aha, finally home". She said parking the car & making her way to her flat. She & Max have moved in together after he proposed to her five months ago. She finally reached her room & noticed that it was locked from inside..

"Max must have came early today, better use my keys; he may be sleeping. "

With that she opened the door & noticed the lights were off and everything was quite.

"O ya, he is definitely sleeping. "

With that she made her way to kitchen to have a glass of water but haulted when she heard some sound from the bedroom. Max is awake ! She thought & went there but she paused on hearing some voices..

"I have been waiting for a long time to do this".

She heard him speak and rose her eyebrows at this.

"I have always desired you my whole life"...

"What the hell ! "

Mariam gasped and said.

" You have always been the love of my life, even before Mariam came . But today she is not here it's just you & me. So lets make this moment memorable..."

Mariam could not believe her ears. Her sweet innocent Max was cheating on her with some bimbo, in their bedroom nonetheless. She fumed and prepared to castrate him. With that she opened the door with a bang..

"Oh, hi honey you are home. I was waiting for you to show up"..

Mariam could not believe her eyes at what she saw. Her fiance was sitting cross legged on the bed with a bowl of chocolate mousse in his hands .

" What's wrong Mariam you look like you have seen a ghost".

Max said with a goofy grin.

" Who were you talking to Max ? "

"Oh, well ! I was just talking to my dessert ." He said sheepishly

"You Were Sweet Talking To Your Food?!!".

She exclaimed with disbelief. Mariam was not sure whether to be relieved that he was not with any slut or to be concerned for his childish behaviour. Alas, she still loved him, but on days like this she was not sure how she fell in love with a child in man's body..

" Oh, well Mari, I was talking to mom few moments ago & she told me that she is going to California tomorrow to check the new machines designed by Mr. Fred, and he told her it was more comfortable to use, with an inbuilt security system & had a very good virus defense. If its effective we can use it this year & it will be an advantage to new rookie trainers. She said it will be great if we can join too. I am free tomorrow so I will be going, what about you? "

He said in one breath..

"Fine by me. I completed most of my work today so I guess I am free tomorrow.. "

" That's great Mari, I will inform my mom right away that you are coming too" , he said excitedly..

"Always a Mumma's boy! " She said teasingly..

"Umm ya well I love her." Max said scratching his head with a tinge of pink coating his nose..

" You are so adorable Maxie". She said kissing him.

" So umm, go & pack your bag, we will be staying there for a couple of days.." He said blushing..

Mariam just smiled at this.

He is so innocent and cute. How can I ever think he may cheat on me? That's the reason I love him ..She thought and decided to prepare for tomorrow.

In Russia

" So what do you guys think about this one, pretty dainty huh ?". Julia asked her brother Raul and her ex coach Romero, showing a fabric of sash.

"It is fine I ..."

"Oh guys look at this one, its handiwork is so amazing." Julia interrupted before her brother can say anything.

Raul just shook his head. It has been going on for hours. She will choose something & show it to him asking his opinion but before he can speak she will be interested in another.

"No wonder Tala never joins her in shopping " , he mentally said remembering all the times he will make excuse of an important meeting or the load of work. Today even Stacy has refused to join her, saying something about attending a fashion show. So she have forced him & Romero to come with her.

Raul and Romero actually lived in Spain where they had established their own circus, which was quite a hit among people. They have recently came to Russia when his loving sister have almost pleaded them (surprising uh..) to help in the wedding arrangements..

"Just look at the fabric of this cloth, it will definitely suit my Flamenco dance", Romero said taking a puffed sleeve shirt and twirling around with...

"Atleast somebody is having fun".. Raul sighed and said..

"Raul will you stop being such a wet blanket. Just look at the beauties of this booty" , he heard Romero say eying the leather boots and disappearing yet around the corner.

"Ahhh.. I can't wait for Hilary to show up now. My brain is completely meddled up. I never know there were these many varieties for a piece of clothing. " , Julia complained..

"Ya, me too. So I can be relieved from your whining & blabbering.."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ?"

He gulped on seeing the murderous aura surrounding his sister. Crap! Shouldn't have said it out loud.

"Now now ! Settle down both of you", Romero said..

"He Was The One Who Started It". Julia shouted..

"WELL WHAT CAN I DO, We Have Been Here For Hours & You Still Haven't Bought A Single Useful Thing!"

"Why you."

Romero merely sighed, while both brother & sister continued their verbal assault.

"This is going to be a long day..."

In France

"Ladies & Gentleman welcome onboard flight 192 with service from Paris to Moscow. The flight will take off in five minutes. I request you to fasten your seat belts & sit in an uptight position. Turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of the flight. Thank you for choosing Air France. Enjoy your flight..."

Hilary sighed silently & shifted in a more comfortable position, laying down on the duvet with feather down pillow. She rarely travelled in this class but the journey was going to be a long one, so she has chosen this.

"Hmm, now lets see what we have got here", she said glancing around & noticed a remote control touchscreen, USB port, electrical outlet.

" I can sure pass my time watching a couple of movies." She said, then noticed a pile of magazine lying adjacent to her seat.

" Might as well do a little reading. Vogue, Na, too fashionable,Cosmopolitan, Kpop idol,La Premiere, Forbes..hey wait a second.. Isn't this..Hilary paused & noticed a very familiar face ...is that KAI? Wow! He sure is famous.. She thought with disbelief, recognising the lavender eyed man gracing the covers of July issue of the magazine.

"Riding on seventh sky, learn the secrets of Kai Hiwatari's success" , the title read. Hilary snorted at the title but decided to take a peek at it.

' I can't believe it. Kai actually decided to give an interview, he used to turn down all the reporters before. But hey, who knows he might have become a social person now. I haven't talked to him in years so who am I to judge.'

he thought remembering that he had left Japan a year after the end of the championship incident, along with Max & Ray. She had been really upset then but she had eventually grown used to it. Besides it was not like they lost contact. Both Max and Ray have given their number and were still in contact with her but Kai being the lone wolf had not bothered with it. Only Tyson & Ray had his number & she was not going to ask them.

Kai was a very reserved person, there were only few people who were close to him. Even being with all of them for years he was only close to those two. He rarely ever talked to her, even though she considered him as her friend she was quite sure the feeling was not mutual.

She also had a highschool crush on him in the beginning. But when he betrayed them, ( kai did betrayed them to protect them) those feelings completely vanished(she is unknown of the truth).

"Well no point in remembering the past now."

She then began reading his interview. She learned that he was placed in the top 100 men of Forbes magazine at position 12. He had also graduated with top marks in his business classes with two bachelor degrees.

"Hmm impressive" she thought & continued reading.

His goal was to take his company to the top spot. She smiled at this.

"Typical Kai, always wanting to be the Number 1." She then noticed his picture.

He haven't changed a lot. He was seated on a leather chair with ornate handle, head tilted slightly. He seemed to be staring at her with piercing indigo eyes with slight smirk playing on his lips. He was wearing a fitted brown suite with white shirt unbuttoned at collar & loose tie. She could practically feel his magnetism pulsating from magazine. He was tall, muscular & extremely she were a fan girl she would be swooning by now. But she was not one, so she maintained her composure. She was sure to meet him in Russia, but will he ever recognise her?

" So what if he don't, I am going there for my friend not for him".. With that she slumped back on her seat , and decided to take a short nap..

In Russia

Kai was sitted in the Turandot cafe in Moscow. This was his favorite spot for having morning coffee, before going to work.

"Sir, may I take your orders" a waitress asked holding out menu.

" Yes I will have a...

"Medium vanilla spiced latte with one percent milk, dashed with butterscotch & two Pirozhki.." someone answered for him.

Kai narrowed his eyes at the familiar face.

" Is this seat taken ?". The aforementioned person asked

" I don't see anybody sitting here." He stated simply.

" Why thank you for your generosity Mr. Hiwatari."

with that Stacy sat on the seat across to him.

" And what will you have mam? " the waitress asked .

" Same what he is having, just make it chocolate spiced & one Pirozhki.."

Waitress scribbled down their orders & left ..

Stacy then turned her attention to Kai, "So, how are you ?"

" Hn".

"That's good to know, & what about business?..

He merely grunted in response..

"Ahh.. Seriously Hiwatari how do you conduct the meetings when you practically speak only one word."

Stacy asked with a hint of annoyance.

"Its called talent which unfortunately you don't have". Kai said smirking..

Stacy merely glared at him in response.

"So, may I ask, what are you doing here so early in the morning ?" Kai asked with a slight scowl.

" Well I was jogging in a nearby park then I decided to grab a cup of coffee & this happened to be the nearest cafe, so I came here. Then I noticed you sitting here so I thought to join you, But I am beginning to regret my decision.."

said Stacy angrily just as the waitress came back with a tray & slid it carefully on the table..

" Here you go Mam & Sir, enjoy your dessert".

They thanked the waitress & began sipping their coffee in silence..

" So, how is your fashion market going ?", Kai asked after a while..

"Oh, my ! you actually decided to speak".. Stacy said with a hint of amusement then added " Its going fine, My fashion show is this weekend.. You are welcome to come."

Kai chose not to answer & simply ate his doughnut with closed eyes...

"Do you know you look quite hot doing that ".Stacy said flirtly..

" ..."

"And this silent attitude adds to your sexiness" She said with a wink.

"Would you please go & flirt with someone who is interested in you, which I am clearly not." He said with a scowl..

Stacy moved her seat close to Kai & whispered in his ears huskily " But I love to tease you Hiwatari.. "

Kai merely glared at her. He had known her for years now, and she was the only girl he can call his friend. But the one thing he hated in her was her flirty attitude. Yes, she was a big flirt. She chose to flirt with every single man except Tala of course & bryan and ian......

"Ha ha ! Hiwatari, you are really fun to mess with" She said laughing..

" So, How is the matrimonial shopping going with Julia.? "

Her face drained it's color & she glared at him.

Kai smirked at this. He knew she will be pissed. Well it was his time for payback...

" This is not even funny...JERK.." She said fuming.

" Ah, Revenge is sweet.."Kai said.

After glaring at Kai for what seemed like hours who seemed unfazed she gave up and sighed.

"I actually told a lie to avoid her yesterday."

"What ? "

" Yup! I told her that I had a fashion event to attend"

"Oh, So, Who was her victim then ? "

"She made Raul & Romero to go with her.. Poor Raul !." She said laughing..

Even Kai smiled at this.

" And what excuse will you be making this weekend , even I know you don't hold more than one show in a month".

"Oh don't worry ! , I wont be joining. She got a wedding planner for her"

She said practically squealing.

"Wedding Planner?" Kai said as if it was the most strangest thing he ever heard..

"Ya, she is her old friend from Childhood days. I think you know her, Hil..umm.. O yes , Hil-Hilary Tachibana.."

"Hilary Tachibana " Kai said slowly .Now where have I heard this name before.. he mentally thought..

"Oh yes, Jules told me that she was your teammate when you were in championships ".. She answered as if reading his mind.

Wha.. Hilary? , now he remembered her. Tyson's classmate. She used to hang out with them even though she didn't know how to fight. He never really understood her purpose in team except being a cheerleader to Tyson, as Tala used to call her.

But he had to admit that she was pretty smart.. He thought, , remembering the time she made a schedule which helped them in balancing their new technics...

"Hellooo, anybody home !" ,he heard Stacy say & looked up..

"Why were you zoning out on me HONEY" she said the last word slyly.

He shot her an annoyed look..

"Here, take this.. & pay for both of us" , he said , taking out his wallet & shoving the money in her hands..

With that he stormed out of the cafe.
