The two were in a deadlock of sorts, fixed and raging brown eyes attempting to tear holes into considerably more carefree aquamarine. Kaito couldn't help finding her mute obstinacy to be cute, in its way. There was nothing that the girl seated across from him could do to escape this situation short of jumping out of the cart. They do lock these things nowadays to prevent such incidents from happening though, no? Kaito deliberated to himself for a moment. He was fairly convinced the man operating the ride had locked the carriage, otherwise, he had taken quite a long time doing a whole lot of nothing. It certainly would do no good if she hurt herself in his company, she was borrowed goods of sorts, after all. He had to return her in the condition that he found her, physically speaking.
This girl was not his, none were if he was being frank, and as far as he was aware she belonged to the most recent object of his displeasure. If he could get her to talk, to give him just about any clues as to how to get under the skin of his adversary, it would all prove worth it, as what he spent to secure her was mere pocket change compared to the actual funds of someone as successful as his father, "So, are you going to talk, or must we sit in unbearable silence all day~?" Kaito prodded at his involuntary companion with a smirk plastered on his pale features. He wasn't going to let their day become that boring if he could help it, "What happens when your boyfriend gets bored? I figured that you would be more fun since you date a guy like that." he added, just to add insult to injury. Kaito found no fault with her, but he felt poking a little fun at her would provoke a response. He wasn't a very patient guy, and if it meant bullying her a bit to move things along, it wasn't beyond him. He didn't care about the girl so he didn't even consider what it may do to her self-esteem.
This made Kaori visibly bristle, "MY relationships are none of YOUR business. I don't even know you." Kaori shot back, proving she did have a bit of spirit left after what Kei's careless actions had put her through. It stung though, a lot more than she was willing to admit. It hurt because Kaori knew that Kaito was right, she knew that compared to the person she used to be... this Kaori sucked. She was a shell of her former self, and perhaps...boring, just as he said.
If her relationship with Rocco had even a shred of truth to it... Kaito might have truly shattered her confidence entirely, but thankfully it was all a facade. As things stood, she didn't have to be very interesting, and if it was all fake, it couldn't hurt, that is what she kept telling herself. He wasn't tied down to her in reality, she wasn't his, it would all end soon enough. The relationship was an arrangement of convenience, no feelings involved. As much as she was trying to be logical, Kaori's entire being was becoming this volatile energy thrashing around the longer that he spoke. Every fiber of her being told her to hit him, but without anywhere to run, it wasn't a good idea. There was no way for her to flag the worker down, and even if there was, why would he turn down the cash that Kaito had provided? He had been effectively bribed.
Huffing in annoyance, Kaori chewed on the inside of her cheek as she tried to make heads or tails of all this. Why did Kaito even bother with her? Why was he spending so much money to ensure she couldn't go anywhere? He wasn't making a move to come closer... so it didn't seem that it was because he had nefarious plans for her. All he seemed to talk about was Rocc-. Then the memory from school hit her like a brick. The two had almost fought in class, hadn't they! Rocco had pulled out the boy's seat. It was making more sense, but it also made her uneasy. What was his angle? She preferred to find out now rather than later, "The childishness between you boys has nothing to do with me. Let me go."
A smirk turned into a huge grin when Kaori spoke of the fight that nearly took place between himself and her boyfriend, "So you do remember me, I'm flattered~" Kaito teased, his amusement flowing freely. There was no one to witness this exchange, and whatever she told anyone he could vehemently deny. It was her word against his, and did she really want everyone to know she spent an entire day with him at a romantic date spot while she had a boyfriend? With that in mind, he was comfortable behaving as he liked, besides, he planned to make their little 'date' known by all in due time, "No can do. I need to send a message, and it is far from sent at this stage, besides, the night is young, what's the rush?"
That is all that he took away from what she said!? Kaori was glaring daggers into him, but he obviously didn't care how she felt about the situation and her anger seemed to fuel him. Ugh! I've never met anyone this frustrating! Kaori hissed, but images of her fake boyfriend came to mind. Kaori sighed upon reflecting that it was Rocco's actions in the classroom that had her in the situation she had found herself in, I'm not nearly as important as he thinks. It was annoying, but the park would close eventually, she just had to wait this guy out.
Frowning a bit when he realized that his taunts were being mostly ignored, Kaito finally stood, closing the gap between them in no time, given the limited space. Plopping down beside of Kaori, Kaito quickly dug her phone out of her pocket. She earned a chuckle of approval when he noticed that it was locked, but she hadn't thought it through. She had a fingerprint lock, which was easy enough to force his way through. Before she could respond, Kaito seized her wrist and put her right thumb to the phone, "Since you don't want to be a good girl and help me piss off your boyfriend... I suppose I'll have to do it myself."
Kaori thrashed against him, freeing her wrist, fumbling as she tried to fight him for her phone, but Kaito's range went further. He was taller, his arm could stretch much further, "Say hello to your boyfriend~" Kaito began, but waited a moment knowing she couldn't tell if he had turned the video on yet or not with the volume off.
"What are you doing!?" Kaori panicked, remembering how angry Rocco became when she purposefully provoked him with the mere mention of a guy (Aeon), and it was one she had barely said two words to in reality. Now that she had mostly settled in her shock, Kaito turned the video on for real and leaned in toward her, backing her up into the glass as she made every effort to create space, "H-Hey! This isn't funny!" Kaori hissed, but soon their faces were centimeters apart. Her cheeks burned, kicking at Kaito's feet, pushing on his shoulders, anything to stop him. Kaito sat the phone down where it could get a good view before he took each of her hands in one of his and leaned in, kissing her just short of her lips.
Leaving Kaori stunned and frozen where she sat, he trimmed the clip to just the portion where he pretended to kiss her, and thankfully the angle was working in his favor. A retake was not possible, as the girl was already pounding her fists into his back, "H-How could you! Delete it!" Her voice was extremely desperate, but Kaito tuned her out, using her school email to 'accidentally' send it to the entire school, sans her boyfriend. Kaito didn't want him to see it just yet.
Upon her phone being deposited in his pocket, Kaori looked up to Kaito in horror, "You can have it back on Monday~ I can't have you trying to call him to make a defense." Kaito smiled. It was cruel, but he didn't actually kiss her. He didn't do anything to her really. There were no marks, and their lips never actually met... but as far as her relationship went...ahh... maybe he did cause some harm after all.
It was happening all over again...but instead of being rejected by the boy that she loved...Kaito was making her look like a 'cheater'. As she had stood up in her efforts to stop him from sharing the video, Kaori felt her legs buckling, and she collapsed to the floor of the ride. Tears were welling up in her eyes. How was she supposed to show her face at school Monday... how was she supposed to explain that they didn't actually kiss, and what did happen was forced upon her? Nothing had actually happened... but it probably didn't look that way. She had no way of knowing just how bad it looked. No...no no no no! Why!? This is... I can't believe it... Boys are the worst...
Aquamarine eyes widened when he heard the thud behind him, turning around quickly, "O-Oi... don't do that." Kaito kneeled down in front of her. He could see how she was shaking, could hear it in her voice that she was fighting back tears. Fuck. Don't cry. You're not the person I'm trying to... Damn it all! He didn't stop to think how it would affect her, and now he felt like a garbage human being. Still, it was for nothing if he didn't see it through.
He was the last person that she wanted to be comforted by, but Kaito pulled her into a hug despite her protests, clawing, punching, he took it all without saying anything, burying his face into her neck as he forced her's into his chest, "I took this too far. Gomenasai." he mumbled into her ear, a bit begrudgingly as he wasn't used to apologizing for his actions. If she had just cooperated he wouldn't have had to gone to an extreme!
"L-Let go!" Kaori shouted at him, hitting him with every ounce of her rage. He was just letting her beat him up and that somehow only made her even angrier. Why did things like this always have to happen to her? Was she so awful of a person before that karma had to strike at her this hard to make her pay for it all? Tears betrayed her as she felt her emotions overwhelming her as she tried to figure out what would happen after this, "I HATE you!"
As much as he tried to shift the blame onto her in his head, Kaito knew in his gut that his focus on revenge for Rocco embarrassing him in the classroom had caused damage to someone that didn't deserve it, a girl no less, "I'm not a nice guy by any measure. I'm keeping your phone so he'll know it was me. You...You should have jus-" Kaito continued, but quickly cut his blame short. That wasn't fair. Now he could feel her shaking, and how wet his chest was getting as she cried. It was undoubtedly against her will given how fervently she was fighting him, "Go ahead and cry. Hate me. ...I'll call and get them to stop the ride after you calm down, and you can go, but I'm taking you home." Kaito explained that he was going to cut their evening short. Tch. It was supposed to make her angry... not... this. Now I am stuck taking responsibility... This blows.
Notoriety: +1 to Kaito
