Last Vacation

Chapter two: He cares, he doesnt' care.

Kai's POV

I cared. Fuck, I knew I cared for her. But why? Why was this happening?... I was supposed not to feel emotions at all… not now… not with… girls.

But anyway, I had to do something. I had to do something for her… she was crying as if the whole world would explode in seconds… it wasn't that much… we were just leaving Japan for some years, that was all… well… more than some years, however, it wasn't that much.

I just stared at her… certainly I didn't know what I could do to comfort a woman… or a person at all. That wasn't part of the training… not from what I can remember.

Endless tears falling from her beautiful eyes… no. No beautiful. I can't be serious. I can't be feeling something for her… can I? I just thought her eyes are not ugly, that's all…

No. I'm lying to myself. I thought her eyes are beautiful. But that's all! I feel nothing for her! Nothing!

She's still crying. God, how much time can a woman cry? It's been five minutes and she's still standing here, in front of me, crying. Can't she do something more useful than just sobbing?

NORMAL POV

Kai stared at her trembling figure. There must be something he could do… anything. He just couldn't bare seeing her like that while he knew she could be having fun with the other guys. Then something came to his secret mind.

"Hilary?" he called in a whisper.

"W… what?" 'Is he actually going to invite me dancing or something? Oh my god…' thought hopeful the young girl.

"I… would you like to…"

'Oh… my… god… Kai Hiwatari is actually going to invite me dancing! Wow this way I can show the guy from before I have a better candidate than him! Oh my God!' excited, her eyes opened widely at the mere thought of dancing with the oldest teen of the gang.

"Would you like to take a walk around? I mean… maybe the fresh air makes you feel better…"

Silence. 'Yeah, as if Hiwatari was in the dancing mood tonight. My God! I'm talking about Kai Hiwatari! For sure he wasn't going to invite me dancing… he's not that kind of guy and I should have known that! My god, how dare could I think about dancing with him? … I had really liked going dancing with him nevertheless… T.T… Hilary! Think! That was just your imagination! Think this straight! He has invited you to go for a walk!'

"Okay… if you don't want to come it's ok, I don't care." 'C'mon Kai stop lying, you know you care…' he scolded himself.

'Yeah whatever as if he would care about me. I don't mean anything for him and I know that… T.T oh what else is going to happen to me tonight?? First I thought he really cared for me, now I hear he doesn't mind.'

'She won't say anything, I know. She's still mad at that guy that did whatever he did to make her lose temper. I shouldn't have asked. I better leave her alone.'

Kai turned round and started walking slowly in the opposite direction. For sure she wasn't in the mood for walking, not with him.

"W-Wait Kai!" suddenly she grabbed his shoulder, some tears still on the corner of her eyes.

"What?" he asked coldly, unexpectedly turning round again to face her.

"I-I… I would be pleased to take a walk with you." She answered politely, enough for him to allow a slight smile drew in his lips. He glanced at her for a moment and started walking to the quieter side of the ship deck. She gently followed him, still not believing completely the situation.

Cold night breeze shifted their hairs as they walked silently through the deck. Kai glanced again at his watch. One o'clock. If that party was ending around three, then he still had some time to hang out with his friend.

"Kai…" she called softly.

"yeah?"

"We're not going to meet again will us? I mean.. the whole team…"

"Probably not." He answered coldly. He knew that this wasn't going to happen. He still had much things to do back in his homeland to be worrying about the team. The guys, Tyson, the parties, the group reunions… everything was annoying. Almost. She wasn't annoying. The only female member of the team… wasn't.

Nevertheless his cold answer just made things worse. Not cried tears started to come back to the girl's eyes.

Kai's POV

Okay now what… what did I say? I just said the truth, we'll probably never see each other again. WTF she's crying again! Girls… they're so… girlish! And childish!

What should I do… I have to admit I can't see her crying like this… I feel helpless… it isn't supposed that I should be helping her feel better… what do I do?

NORMAL POV

After a minute of hesitation that seemed to last forever, Kai slowly reached with his right hand the corner of her eye, from where unstopping tears were falling, and wiped them away. Instinct worked well in these cases, he didn't know what he was doing.

She put up her sight to face crimson worried eyes staring at her. "Come on tell me… what's wrong Hilary?" he asked, letting his instinct act instead of his reason.

".. what do you want me to say?"

"Why aren't you with the other guys in the party? There's something wrong apart from the fact that in a month everyone will be back home."

"Yeah… there is…" she admitted at last. But before she could continue talking she felt a pair of strong arms rounding her slim waist… yes… the arms of Kai Hiwatari.

The girl stood in silence as the actions made by the oldest teenager took place. This was really happening? She let her hair rest in his shoulder, suddenly realized that her teammate actually had a warm side she hadn't known before.

"Tell me" he demanded. If he was going to try to make her feel better, then he was going to act by instinct or he would ruin it all and make things worse. He knew himself, so he let his subconscious part do whatever it had to do.

"… I was actually invited to the party… by some guy… but then a girl… a blonde girl came up and called him… okay maybe you don't understand about this Kai, and I don't mind but… she was wearing makeup. She looked prettier than me, and that's why he chose her… and he left me here when it was five minutes to the party and I had no chance of finding another guy... because the only one left was you… and I know you weren't going."

Kai sighed. Well, he had to say the truth. "Certainly Hilary… you know I don't like parties, and I'm not going to save your night asking you to go with me."

Pain flashed through ruby eyes. 'I should have known that…' she scolded herself. "I… I don't want you to ask me to go Kai… it's fine…"

"You know, what I hate the most is when people lie to themselves." He stated.

'okay now what… he realized I'm disappointed. I should ran away from here…. But I can't… his arms are still around my body… he's hugging me… stronger than any guy has done before… oh my god, I'm in the arms of Kai Hiwatari… what's next?' exited thoughts full her mind.

While Kai's eyes were closed and his mind was busy thinking about what he would say next. He had already told her that he wasn't there to invite her dancing, so… now he had to say something to bring her up again… it wasn't to leave her there like that.

"Anyway… - he started, unsure of the sentence he was going to pronounce.- from my point of view girls look more natural and cute without those things you put on your face, call it makeup or whatever." He finished his statement, opened his eyes and breathed slowly. Letting the embrace go he turned round and coldness level returned to normal.

"If you excuse me, I have to go to sleep, it's late. Good night." and in silence he walked a few meters and got inside the ship.

She stared at him in such confusion. She blinked twice and he had already disappeared, probably getting to his room.

Hilary's POV

Wow… if that was real… then Kai Hiwatari actually cares for me. No… he doesn't care… he said he didn't care…. I need to talk to somebody… I need to talk to a girl and I know no girl in this ship apart from that blondie.

I'll probably make a call to Mariah or Myriam tomorrow morning… now Kai's right… we've got to sleep.

NORMAL POV

Walking in silence, lost in her own world and memories, she left the deck and headed back to her room.

"What? On Kai? FORGET IT!! He's not a good choice, Hilary! How can you have a crush on a guy that is less predictable than a snake!"

"But it's true! I don't know why this is happening to me… I never thought I could be having a crush on him, I thought I probably would fell in love with Rei someday, but no… he's just my friend…"

"Did you tried talking to Mariah?" asked the girl on the other side of the phone.

"Yeah… but she's not home Myriam… what do I do? I'm so confused… I don't know… I don't know if I should pay attention to him or ignore him…"

"In my opinion you better forget about Hiwatari, Hilary. You'll never know what to expect from him, what to think about him, you won't even know why he says what he says… he's a loner!"

"Yeah probably you're right… I'll talk to you later… thanks."

"Bye.." Hilary closed her cell phone and lazily stepped out from the bed… wow… overslept. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. For sure she was excited about last night and had gone to bed around six in the morning… obviously she was tired. Who wouldn't be?

Again, she dialed another number. This time, Spain.

"Julia? It's Hilary… I need some help…"

"What's happening?"

"I… I've got a crush on Kai Hiwatari."

"O.o Oh well… and I have a show in ten minutes dear… I'll call you later okay? But don't forget, follow your head, I mean, your heart… follow both! See ya!"

End of the conversation. This was pissing her off. Maybe Mathilda would help.

"Hilary! Long time, no see"

"Yeah… hey I gotta tell you something… you must help me…"

"what's the matter? I'm here for you…"

"I… yesterday night I was some time outside with… Kai… and I think I'm starting to have some… feelings… for him."

"Oh that's so sweet! Come on! Tell me, did he say you something?"

"No… he just tried to comfort me from some bad experience I had before… but he hugged me… oh my god he's so sweet… and kind… and handsome…"

"Do you love him?"

"Eh? Ah… umm.. no, I don't think so… or maybe I do? Hey I've just discovered I have a crush on him!"

"Okay… well… I think he's respectful, and if you think he might feel the same way then you should try something… but if he ever makes you something bad call us and we'll be there hunny!"

"Yeah… thanks Mathilda… call you later."

'Now I'm more confused than before… Myriam says I shouldn't pay him attention… Julia says I should follow my heart, or head, or whatever… and Mathilda says I should try something with him… T.T I think I'm gonna try to find the guys…'

Silently she walked out of her room and instantly she found the others… with their luggage?

"What's going on?" she asked to her teammates.

"Hilary, we've just arrived. Come on, get your luggage if you don't want to stay here!" max cheered, friendly placing a hand on her shoulder. Tyson… Rei… Kenny… max… but no Kai. Again.

"W… where's Kai?" she asked, subconsciously worried about the cold guy.

"He's waiting for us. Come on, hurry up, Ireland sounds promising!"

About an hour later they were all walking through the Ireland's streets. It was July and it was not hot not cold, just a good weather for doing some tourism.

"I think we should be going to the hotel, and prepare for tomorrow. It's going to be a good day, don't you think?" suggested Rei.

"Yeah! I already want to taste the food from this country! Yahoo!" Tyson just gained back a glare from his friends.

"I'll take charge of the reception stuff – suggested Ray. – Max, would you come with me? Then Tyson, Kai, Kenny and Hilary can take our luggage upstairs."

"Yeah sure!" agreed the blonde one. The hotel was big, it was well decorated with antique things that gave it an ancient aspect, it was quite expensive, but of course everything was paid by the BBA and Mr. Dickenson.

"May I help you?" a member of the hotel stuff offered to the four teens that were stuck with the luggage of six.

"Thank you Sir." Agreed Tyson, following the man in the direction of the elevators.

"I'm afraid these elevators are for four persons only, and as we're also carrying the luggage, wouldn't you mind taking the one that is next to this?" the man politely asked in the direction of the blue haired teen.

Kai glared at him and replied with one of his famous "Hn", before walking to the other elevator.

"Are you coming or you'll stay there?" he asked to Hilary, who was the only one left.

She gasped when she noticed she would be inside the elevator till floor number seven… with Kai.

But he didn't look as if he minded anything. He just pressed the 7 button and leaned his back against the wall.

Unable to do anything better in the silence that hung the air, she started looking at the numbers, and repeated them slowly as they moved on…

"1…

2…

3…

4…

4…

4… hey Kai… what's happening to this… are we… stuck?"
