Under His Shelter
Chapter One: Seeking Shelter
There are times that the weather men, or women would explain about what's the weather like for today and later on during the week, and they would be correct at times…
Today, they didn't get it right.
Today was meant to be beautiful for the morning and throughout the afternoon, but by the evening there would be an overcast of clouds. They said rain won't be involved today that it will come tomorrow, and last the whole day.
Boy, they were off… The clouds rolled over by around three in the afternoon, and it started to pour.
So much for following the weather people and her instincts.
Hilary Tatibana, the coach and member of the famous beyblade team, G-Revolutions –once known as the Blade Breakers- was hurrying down the streets of Bakuten City(1) in the rain.
From believing the weather would be beautiful outside, Hilary decided to do some shopping. With money for transportation and shopping went to downtown Tokyo, to shop at the outlet stores. It wasn't for shirts, skirts and shorts, but underwear, bras, and socks.
She knew that the weather people have missed their prediction when she notices the overcast covering the blue sky by around three. It would rain soon… but she shrugged off the thought and went in a small café to order refreshment. By the time she finished, it was raining.
And just when she thought that it couldn't be any worse, she didn't have enough money to get home through the subway, or even on the bus. Leaving her to walk home in the rain.
In the rain she walked her way home, with a string-bag of her purchases. The rain was not that bad as they predicted, though she was getting wet.
Hilary has walked for almost half-an-hour, passing the city buildings, shops, and restaurants. She saw the people in the rain, some with umbrellas, raincoats, and even using their briefcases, newspapers and jackets to protect them from the wet surroundings.
'Just how bad can it get?' Hilary thought.
As if on cue, the rain went harder and winds blew hard that Hilary had to stop from the harsh weather coming out of the blue. The clouds weren't a simply rain-cloud grey, but like a thunderstorm cloud grey. Dark and scary…
'That is just great!'
She needed to get out of this weather now! So she quickly picked up her pace as she went jogging before running full blast under the heavy rain and high winds. She could feel the temperature falling, feeling cold. Simply bad for someone who is wearing a skirt and a spring jacket rolled up above her elbows unzipped.
Hilary won't be able to make it at her warm and dry home, as she is still far away with her running.
She needs shelter.
Not long that she took a glimpse of her surroundings that she saw a some mansions, three stories high, with some black iron gates others with concrete walls over five feet high with at least some security features to prevent crime from happening. She could see some fancy cars and limousines; a few that are stretched and a couple looking like simple luxurious cars.
Hilary didn't have a happy view about the wealthy citizens. As she thought they were all snobbish and cold to the commoners –the average Joes'- like her.
But for some reason, she couldn't walk away from these mansions and look for a simply home to stay. Even more odd is that she went to one that was far from the others in the street.
Hurrying down the street to the one that somehow call for her, she takes a look at the mansion.
It was white, with black iron gates twice the height as her height. The mansion was three stories tall, with tall columns supporting a part of the roof. There was a section on the left side of the building for the garage, as she could see three garage doors, but no cars or limousines in sight. Maybe who ever lived here were not at home at the moment, leaving maids and butlers to do the housekeeping. The path to the garage was connected to the circle-like asphalt path around the courtyard, in which connects to the street she was on. And at the center is a fountain that is currently spraying water out of the spout and making an umbrella before going down into the little pool. Where there isn't asphalt or concrete is grass cut and green, Hilary could smell the freshness of the cut with the rain falling hard around.
It was such a daze to wonder of this place that she was pulled into reality when the wind rush her with such harsh coldness, as a reminder of her purpose to get shelter.
Opening the iron gates and closing it behind, luckily no security has been turn on; she hurries to the front doors. It was good enough that the roof with the support of the columns helped her get out of the rain as she walked upon the steps of the mansion.
She was completely drenched from the rain. Her hair and clothes sticking to her body like second skin. Drops of water fell to the cement ground, making a puddle of water underneath her feet. That was how heavy the rain was pouring, like the old phrase 'it's raining cats and dogs'.
Heading to the front door, she saw a doorbell, and pressed it for it to work.
Ding-Dong
Knowing that the weather would be bad for the afternoon Kai had no intention to go outside or check on Tyson and the others at Tyson's dojo for training.
So his afternoon is staying indoors of his home, reading a book in his bedroom. He sat at the edge next to the window reading and at the same time looking at the view of the weather outside.
During his reading, Kai couldn't process the words in the page, so getting reading off his mind he went to take a glimpse out of the window, when he was bewildered of what he saw.
Down the street was a person heading toward the mansion. But as the figure got closer, he could tell that it was a female. And closer than ever he saw the orange jacket, mint-color top and the yellow skirt, and he knew who it was…
"Hilary?" he said to himself.
It was weird that she was heading to his home, and the funny thing about is that he haven't much told her or the other of his place, other than the fact that Tyson, Ray, Max and Kenny know that his grandfather, Voltaire was once a powerful and wealthy man.
Now with his grandfather paying time in prison, the Hiwatari Enterprise was now under a new leader for a few years now making major changes for now, till Kai graduates from both high-school and post-secondary. For the moment, Kai only owns the mansion and only a section of the wealth till further notice.
It was only a moment that he saw Hilary disappear under his window that she reached to the front door.
Did she know about where he lived? Or even worse, did they her about him?
His hand formed a fist to show his anger.
'If they did, I swear I'll-'
Ding-Dong
He stopped to look at his door. Hilary's was here…
Now that he thought of it, Hilary was out in the rain without any umbrella or raincoat…Did she got caught under the unexpected rain?
Dropping the book, he hurries out of his room. He could hear Edward's voice downstairs, knowing that his long time butler would be at the door. Going to one of the rooms in the hall, he picked up a towel and headed to the stairs.
It wasn't a moment later that someone opened the door. Hilary took a look at the person and notice it was a man in his 50s'. His light-brown hair was faded by small patches of grey hair, his eyes a brown color with glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was wearing a dark grey suit with matching pants, a white buttoned shirt, and a red bow-tie. She could see the winkles beginning to for on his face and his built thin and stable.
"Hello miss, how may I help you?" he greeted her. A bit amazed to see her soaked from head to toe.
"H-hello, my name's Hilary," she said a tad nervous, "I got caught in the heavy downpour, and I was wondering if I can stay for a moment inside and use the telephone? It won't be long…"
"I need to see if my master will approve of it…but first come inside."
He pulled the door wider for Hilary to enter in. And when she did she took a look at the area, and it was pretty huge.
There was a stairway that leads to the second floor of the mansion. The walls were white and paintings hung along the walls. The floor that she stepped on was of marble of rich tones. There are doors along the walls, closed, but for one that from looking at it must be the living room. She looked at the floor once more and notices that the wetness on her clothes has made another small puddle. Boy, she was really drenched.
But she knew that it wouldn't last since the person who opened the door, in which she knew it was a butler told her it would be the master's decision.
'I bet he'll be like the others when it comes to commoners…One look at me, and he'll tell me to leave at once, without me asking of my presence under his roof. He'll be so shellfish, so rude, and completely col-'
"Hilary?"
She froze at the masculine voice. It really sounded so familiar to her, and she fear to know who it was.
"Ah, Master Kai," the butler explained, "I was about to look for you."
Hilary looked up to see the master on the stair landing at the second floor.
His two-tone hair, his crimson-amethyst eyes, and soft tone with two pairs of blue shark-fins markings on his face. He was wearing the same outfit she saw him wear at the third-world championships and at the BEGA Justice Five Tournament. A purple jumpsuit supported by a red belt, a black short sleeve jacket, black runners with a red strap at the back. Black fingerless gloves and his famous white scarf that is wrapped around his neck and the two tails flow from behind. And he had a folded towel underneath his arm.
Kai…
She was surprise at what has been processed in her mind.
She was in Kai's home. His home is a mansion. And she didn't know what else to say but…
"Kai?"
