Chibi-Kari: This is what I get for listening to my best friend's Dashboard Confessional

C.D. Man, she has soft music. Anyways this idea came to me. If you don't like

Hiro/Hil, just give it a chance. I think you'll enjoy this.

Max: She doesn't own otherwise there would be some messed up couples.

Chibi-Kari: Oh be quiet you.

Max: On with the fic...

Love is Like a Role that We Play

Chapter 1- How it began

Sometimes things don't turn out the way that you want them to. Well I learned

my lesson. I was naive, I see that now. I believed in fairy tales, ha. Isn't that just a

great big joke? I really thought that no matter what happened your life would work out.

I believed that love could conquer all. Now I see I was wrong. Love is a betrayal of all

those you hold dear. Lust can make everyone turn their backs on you. I'm Hilary,

better known as the trainer of the Bladebreakers, and this. Well this is my story.

It started like all stories, on a day. It was a completely normal day. Well as

normal as things could get. Max and Rei had just left the Bladebreakers to return to

their new teams. It all started before Kai left us but after the tag teams were chosen.

Flashback

Tyson was battling against Kai, but as normal Drazer was dominating the dish.

Hilary walked outside to find everyone hard at work training. Hiro was yelling at all of

the boys to do better. Kenny was getting so nervous that he was having trouble lasting

more than five minutes with Daichi.

"Come on Kenny! You're doing great!" Hilary shouted from the porch.

At the shout Hiro swung his head around and glared at her, "He needs to greatly

improve. You shouldn't be getting his hopes up for failure."

Hilary just glared back, "Encouragement does wonders. And what have you

been taking melancholy lessons from Kai."

"Maybe you should leave if you can't handle the truth. Life isn't a fairytale." Hiro

said curtly.

"There are many views of reality and the human spirit can conquer all." Hilary

stated as she walked over to get a closer look at Kenny and Daichi's match. Hiro just

turned his full attention to Kai and Tyson.

"Hey Kenny. Don't sweat it. Just stay focused. And remember this. Find a fault

in your opponent so that you have confidence." Hilary said smiling at her shorter friend.

"Daichi's an excellent blader, I'm not quite up to his standards." Kenny said

shaking his head as Daichi put on a cocky grin and added a 'that's right.'

"I'm sorry, Kenny. Did I say that it had to be about his blading?" Hilary said

smiling.

"Wait, I don't understand what your getting at."

"Look at him he's practically a monkey boy." Hilary said as Kenny joined her in a

laugh, causing Daichi to get mad and loose his focus, leaving StrataDragoon open for a

direct attack.

Kenny looked down at his spinning blade and then over to StrataDragoon,

"Thanks Hilary. I understand what you mean, trash talking using their insecurities."

Kenny said smiling at Hilary who was shaking her head yes.

"Well it seems that little missy is right about one thing." Hiro said, "Picking on

insecurities can make the underdog the winner."

"Little Missy?!?" Hilary asked putting her hands on her hips, "What are you stuck

in a bad western?"

"Can someone just tie her down and gag her?" Hiro said, "Go another round,

Kenny."

Kenny leaned over towards Hilary, "Well I think it was great advice." But then

receiving a glare from Hiro he went back to work.

"I'm gunna get something to drink." Hilary said to no one inparticular.

As she was getting her drink she heard a noise from behind her. She jumped

then turned around quickly. Seeing who it was she let out the breath she had held,

"Shouldn't you be outside?"

TBC

Chibi-Kari: Well I hope that you like it so far. And I hope none of you get me wrong I'm

still a diehard Kai/Hil fan. I'm just experimenting.

Max: Thanks for reading and please review!
