QUESTIONS

I am using the characters from the Third Season of Beyblade

------------------------------

Hilary looked at the sun set from Tyson's house, her head raised to the sky in wonder. Tonight she would talk to him and tell him how she felt.

It took about 30 minutes before Hilary finally found Kai sitting on a hill that overlooked the playgrounds below as he looked up to the sky admiring the hues that graced the sky. Hilary stood beside Kai on the hill looking at the sky.

"Is it alright to sit here?", she asked him looking down at him

"Hnn", was his only reply to her

Sitting down Hilary began to think of what she was going to say to him until her train of thoughts were interrupted.

"What do you want?", he asked her slightly irritated

"I wanted to...talk to you", she replied looking down at her lap

"Then talk"

"Umm...well...the thing is that...I ...IreallylikeyoualotandIhopethatI'mnotbeingtooforwardaboutthis", she said, her whole face burning in embarrassment as she looked down at her lap.

Kai picked up every word she said a frown beginning to spread across his face.

"I hope I di..."

"You very much disappoint me. Your behavior is quite pathetic and childish I must say. I expected a bit more from you. In any case I would have refused you what you are asking of me. You are wasting your time", he said interrupting her

Hilary's face paled out as she looked towards her lap, distraught at what he had just told her.

"You're just too weak to compete with me", he said getting up from his spot and walking in the opposite direction towards the park.

Hilary was very hurt to say the least. She thought that it would go on better than this and anyway even if he refused her she did not think that he would push he so far away from him and make her feel like nothing. She felt like her heart had been pierced by an arrow.

(Kai's POV)

'How idiotic to ask me for something like that. I have no time and even if I did I would not have any interests in her. She doesn't fit in any category of mine as she is ultimately weak. The only reason to tolerate her was because the rest of the team decided to have her around. After that she isn't really important. She will only pull me back'

This was Kai's final judgment as he assumed he knew Hilary and what she was capable. She had potential but Kai never saw through the screen that said she was a girl tagging along therefore she was weak. He never really paid her much attention only when it was necessary at the moment and that had been very rare.

'I should just forget this. It is totally unimportant'

Those were his last thoughts on the matter as he walked away from Hilary into the park.

-----------------------------------------------

(Hilary POV)

Hilary wiped her tears from her face. It hurt a lot that she had been turned away in such a rude and uncaring fashion.

"Maybe I am weak but at least I have a heart unlike you", she whispered to herself.

She pulled out a piece of paper from her skirt, unfolding it. It was an authorization form that her parents had signed for her. She remembered what her mother told her when she signed the form

--

"You are my only daughter and I want the best for you. You may decide whether you want follow along with the conditions on the form or stay and continue with your life here in Japan. I hope you make the right decisions because you are my darling daughter whom I love so much. Never let anything make you think less that that and follow your heart"

'I will go with Mr. Dickenson on this trip. It should be a new experience for me and I get to see the world on my own', thought Hilary as she got up

'But...I'll miss Max, Tyson, Ray and Daichi', she thought as she remembered their faces. "I'll even miss Kai"

She got up to leave the hill walking towards her destination. Mr. Dickenson's office. Today was the day she would have left for the trip if she hadn't had doubts but now she was certain and her plane would be leaving at 10:00pm that night.

'I better hurry', she thought as she realized that it was 6:45.

She had to run to catch up on time
