Edit: January 19, 2014 - I am going through and proofreading this fic to double check for typos and such.
Chapter One: Kyoya Returns
Kyoya peered from behind the tree, careful not to make even the slightest sound. A cool breeze ruffled through his teal hair. The summer wind felt good on his tan skin, even somewhat relieving his tired muscles. His whole body screamed in protest anytime he moved. He had only just gotten back from his training in Wolf Canyon, after all.
He tipped his head to one side in curiosity as his striking blue gaze rested on two figures, one boy with fiery red hair and one girl with ice blue hair. Whatever was going on between the two looked like more than just friendship. Ginga and Hikaru, Kyoya thought with a snort. It'll never last. He strained to listen to the two bladers as they murmured quietly to each other. Though Ginga seemed to be coming on strong, Hikaru almost looked as if she'd rather be anywhere but there.
"Do you really have to go?" Kyoya barely heard Ginga's hushed whisper. The fiery haired blader put his hands on Hikaru's hips and pulled her forward, closing the gap between them. She lifted her hands and placed them gingerly on his shoulders, her actions slow and shaky.
"Yes," Hikaru whispered, "I need to travel to find new opponents."
"I want to go with you, but I don't want to leave everyone else behind." He lifted one hand and stroked her hair with a calm smile.
"I can take care of myself," she snapped, pulling away from him and taking a few steps back. "I just have to take care of….some business." Hikaru's violet gaze darted to the ground, and then back to Ginga. His golden eyes were full of concern. "Go back to Kenta and the others. This is a journey I should face on my own."
"I guess you're right." Ginga stepped forward, wrapping one arm around her waist and gently touching her cheek with his other hand. He leaned in slowly, until his lips touched hers.
A low growl erupted from deep within Kyoya's throat. He narrowed his blue eyes and clenched his hand into a fist. Jealousy rolled off him in waves as Hikaru went along with it. At least Kyoya knew that with Hikaru and Ginga so close, his plan would be even more effective.
Ginga and Hikaru broke apart, their faces blushing red. Ginga leaned forward again and whispered something in her ear that Kyoya didn't catch, and then he turned and started walking away.
Hikaru stood in one spot, watching until Ginga vanished in the distance before she sat down on a wooden bench with a heavy sigh. Kyoya smiled a dark smile, his eyes narrowing. Her back was to him; he had the perfect chance to sneak up and surprise her.
Kyoya quietly crept over to her, placing his feet down carefully so as not to make a sound. After a few moments, he stood behind her, his breathing almost silent. He could tell that she felt safe and relaxed.
Time to change that, Kyoya thought.
He tightly grasped her shoulders with both hands and held her still with no effort at all. He felt her jump slightly, and her breathing came in slow gulps. She's too afraid to even scream! He let out a cruel chuckle, and ran one of his hands along her shoulder, touching her neck. He could feel her pulse beating surprisingly fast.
Now for her to feel momentary relief, he thought, ideas buzzing in his mind. What could he do to her to make her feel terrified, to make her regret kissing Ginga?
He leaned forward so his mouth was at her ear. His voice was filled with malice as he whispered, "I'm back, Hikaru."
Thanks for reading! Drop a review! They always make me happy, no matter how old the fic is! XD
