Hello over there! I'm back with another fanfiction, this is going to be chapter wise. Again this is KaiHil, inspired by a manga I have recently starting to read, and honestly I love it ^^ So here we are, again, I do not own Beyblade nor the characters, the story of the fanfiction is inspired by the manga, not copied it. So enjoy this first chapter, and updates might be slow, but they will be there : D
Let's go!
"The Proposal"
"It might be a very big step for me, sir…" The brunette said to her elder boss.
"Of course it is, Ms. Tachibana! This new scheme is designed to help Government workers, like you, settle in!" The elder man replied.
But getting married to a complete stranger? And court marriage?" The young brunette addressed her concerns.
"I know how you feel, Hilary. But this plan is to help workers and people like you. And you will be given one month to get to know him, if you're unsatisfied, then you can easily leave him according to the contract, no hard, no foul, eh?" The elderly told the brunette.
Yes, ." She replied before bowing in respect, before leaving his office. On her way out, she contemplated on the certain new government scheme, marrying a total stranger, or so he was…
She sits on her desk, rubbing her temples and forehead in frustration, before she gets a reality check when she hears a file being slammed down on her desk, possibly by a clerk. And she immediately read the file, only to find out that it the bio data of her future spouse to be.
"Oh great." She sarcastically comments, before beginning to examine the file of her "future soulmate", Kai Hiwatari…
"Jeez, what a weirdo." She says the first thing she sees in the male, blue and silver-gray hair, amethyst eyes, blue triangles over his cheeks, two on each. Could be facepaint, could be tattoo, could be a rare skin condition, and could be PhotoShop too. So far the first impression she got from her future spouse was nothing but appalling, and he seemed like one of those loner types too. She did not bother to further investigate his file, like his repulsive and revolting look made her kind repel, but mustering up all her might, she read his address. Then she noted it down, and leaned back against her chair, head tilted backwards, and the back of her hands were on her forehead, obviously she was mentally preparing herself for her first meeting with the strange looking fellow the next day.
They say that time slows down drastically when we wait, if only this was the case for poor Hilary Tachibana, much to her exasperation. The day of meeting her to-be spouse had came really fast, as if there was no night between the two days. She got up from the early beacons of the sunlight, grunting and rubbing her eyes. She still could not wrap her head around the fact the she was to be paired up with a total stranger in matrimony. One month was not enough for her to get to know her future husband, plus if she was to walk away from the scheme, she would end up being deducted 50% of her monthly pay, which was already close to negligible. So with money being tight, she apparently had no choice. With all this preoccupying her mind, she leaves her apartment to meet with her husband, hoping that he would understand her issues and desperation, or at-least be nice to her.
"Well, here I am. Alright Hilary, let's hope he understands…" She said to herself as she stopped in front of his house. Not special, which she thought was a good sign indeed. It meant that he wasn't a rich spoiled brat, but a normal person like her. Still gathering strength, she approached his house. Just as she walked towards his house, she began to get the feeling of being watched, and she was right unfortunately. She roved her gaze around and saw eyes staring at her, before slowly those eyes turned out to be faces, and they were looking at her with a very oppressive look. She soon became agitated. She never liked spying eyes, they were like her kryptonite. She hurriedly walked while looking down on the ground while blushing a deep tomato red, and in an unexpected moment, she collided into a very broad chest.
"SIR! WOULD YOU MIND YOUR PATH I-!" She bayed at the man she tackled into, as she raised her head up to scoff at him more, she saw the face which scared her.
"KAI!" She screamed in pure sheer fear, covering her face with her file. The blunette stared at her pokerfaced. His gaze narrow, fixed at the perturbed and rattled Hilary.
"Miss, how do you know my name?" He softly and casually asked the most obvious question.
"I uh…." She grumbled nervously as she fumbled with her file. He lowered his gaze at the file, and saw his picture on it.
"Miss, should I help you with something?" He asked, obviously directing her attention towards the file she held with his name.
"I uh…" She again mumbled out, he sighed inwardly.
"You're wasting my time, miss. Please tell me, what do you want from me?" Kai asked her, and she snapped.
"I WANT TO MARRY YOU, DUMBASS!" She screamed at him, before realizing what she had just said. Uh oh…
Her scream somehow made the whole neighborhood come out, what the heck she was doing?! She was going marry Kai?! It couldn't be.
As she raised her gaze a bit up towards him, she saw that her future husband to be was staring at her with a confused, confounded, disturbed and annoyed expression. That look further intensified her frustration and subsequently, her blush. Now in a deep, deep red, she and Kai were beginning to get surrounded by neighbors, who were now beginning to say questionable remarks:
"What? She marrying him?!"
"Is she crazy or something?"
"She must be dumb."
"Why marry to such a loner!"
"She must be prostitute."
"She is obviously conceiving his child!"
"What questionable antics!"
"Oh no…" She said, she cursed herself, she cursed her boss, the cursed the world, she cursed the people labeling her wrongfully, she cursed the male standing in front of her, she cursed her life and her existence.
But her trails of thoughts and curses were cut off by a strong hand clamping onto her wrist, Kai grabbed her and dragged her into his house, without saying a word. She decided to let him drag him, even though he was too powerful for the brunette.
Once inside their house, he slid the door shut, subsequently shutting everyone else.
"What the hell was that all about?" She panted out, while she backed against the wall.
"They are doing that because of you." He said while his arms straightly held up against the door.
"Huh? But why?" She asked, puzzled.
"Follow me, I'll tell you everything…" He said, just as he turned around his facial expressions changed, and suddenly he rushed towards a cage resting on a showcase.
"Fluffy? Fluffy?" He called, worried.
"Fluffy?" She thought.
She followed him and saw that he was holding a baby rabbit in his palms, black and white. It was not moving.
"Fluffy, Fluffy talk to me." He said, worried.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Fluffy…isn't moving." He softly said, his voice sounded panic.
"Kai, he must be asleep…"She said.
"No, he is not moving! he isn't moving..." He gently cried out, as she saw his hands tremble a bit.
"I'm all alone.." He whispered. Seeing him in this state, she decided to step up.
"Come…" She said as she grabbed his wrist.
"Where are we going?" He asked, shaky voiced.
"To the vet's." She stated.
"But he's…" He was cut off.
"No, we have time, Kai. Please trust me!" She said, having no choice he followed her. They got outside, called for a taxi, and they headed for the nearest animal hospital. All throughout the ride, he was constantly looking at his rabbit, she looked at him. The once repulsive Kai Hiwatari seemed so vulnerable.
They reached the hospital, and immediately rushed the rabbit to emergency.
After a few hours, the doctor came out of the ER. Kai was pacing back and forth in the hallway; Hilary sat on a chair patiently and worried. Kai noticed the man in the gown and immediately rushed towards him, making Hilary get up and follow him.
"Doctor, how is Fluffy?" He asked.
"Fluffy is alright. He just fainted, happens due to heatstroke, but he's okay now." The doctor said smiling, while he cleaned his glasses from his handkerchief. The reply suddenly eased the tense blunette, subsequently easing Hilary off too.
"When do I meet him?" He asked, softly. His eyes gleamed a bit.
"You can actually take him home now! He is fit and fine and ready to be taken home." The doctor replied, smiling, Kai held his hand softly showing his passion for the rabbit.
"Thank you." He gently said, looking into the doctor's eyes, the doctor nodded and went off to attend business. The nurse came out of the ER, carrying fluffy in her embrace.
"Here is your rabbit, sir." She said, and immediately the rabbit reached out its little paws towards Kai, he slowly picked the animal from the nurse's embrace, and held it in his own.
"Hey, buddy." He softly said, rubbing his belly with his finger.
"You're now all alright, no need to be afraid, Fluffy." He said.
Hilary looked at him with sheer shock, the man who appeared emotionless and stale to her was suddenly one of the most compassionate persons she had ever seen, this made her think twice about whatever she had thought or said about her.
"Thank you." He said to Hilary, breaking her chain of thoughts and snapping her back into reality.
"Huh?" She said, obviously being attentive to Kai then.
"Thank you." He said once again.
"You're welcome." She replied, smiling.
"You want something to drink?" He asked.
"Uh… at your place, right?" She asked. To which he nodded.
"Okay then, let's go." She replied cheerfully as she walked along with the once stoic Kai Hiwatari down the halls, signaling something good…
