I'm sorry guys! Been a really busy couple of weeks so it's been late this time. :S Don't eat me! This chapter is a little slow but the story is going to get properly started next chapter :). Enjoy!
Chapter Two
Two pairs of green eyes stared at each other intensely for half a minute before a tiny hand shot out and poked the nose directly in front of him.
Daichi fell back and cried out in pain, 'OW! Hilary! He poked me!' The young girl merely sighed and picked the laughing boy up.
She cooed, 'It doesn't matter if you poked him. He's a little devil but you're not. No, you're a little angel, yes you are, yes you are' She glanced over at Daichi to see him glaring at her in disgust and slight confusion.
Tyson beat Daichi to the question, 'Why are you talking like that?'
Hilary was still talking to Jaden, 'because, that's how you're meant to speak. Isn't it J? It is, yes it is'
The two boys stared at her as if she was from another planet but their concentration soon waned as they began arguing over who was the better blader.
It was around eleven at night and the storm was still raging on outside. It was already quite late and ideally was time for Jaden to sleep; instead he was inspecting the room actively. She put him down and took a seat against the wall. Max was asleep in the far corner; he had crashed from his sugar high almost instantly and became oblivious to the world.
Kenny was too preoccupied with his laptop to notice Jaden was crawling towards him with a mischievous look in his marble-like eyes. In a flash, two small but powerful hands came crashing down on the keyboard and a girly scream resonated through the dojo. Kenny leapt out of his position and yanked the laptop with him which caused Jaden to fall forward. Tyson and Daichi noticed the commotion and braced themselves for a wail that wouldn't come. The young boy merely laughed loudly and banged his fists on the ground.
'Would you please keep him away from me and my possessions!' Kenny was standing as far away from the baby as possible. Hilary rolled her eyes and told him to sleep in Tyson's room if he was so scared which is exactly what he did.
Tyson suddenly had an important thought which didn't happen very often, 'hey guys… don't babies drink milk? And they don't know how to use toilets.' He was stroking his chin, thinking intently about how to tackle the problem. 'I know! We have to go to the shop and buy some things! NOT IT!'
Daichi caught on quickly and yelled, 'NOT IT!' and Ray followed soon after.
'It's not safe for Hilary to go out at this time on her own, so maybe you should both go!' Tyson beamed at Kai and Hilary who sighed and went to grab their coats. 'Plus, Hilary probably knows what to get since she's a girl'.
'Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I automatically know everything about babies. I haven't been pregnant or had a baby before and there is no-one in my family who has recently had a baby so I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM!' She grabbed Kai's arm and dragged him out of the dojo, wanting to get away from the sexist males. She stormed out on to the street and was almost blown away by gale force winds. She yelped and grabbed the lamppost in an attempt to hold herself down.
Kai took the opportunity to really look at her. She was much shorter than him and had a petite frame which could be seen clearly just by looking at her tiny waist. For her height, you could say her legs were abnormally long but nothing looked out of place on her body. Her skin was creamy and her cheeks often had a tinge of pink to them which completed her full lips well. Her silky chocolate locks were all over the place and Kai had to supress a chuckle at the girl in front of him. Her large coffee eyes suddenly opened and found two crimson ones staring right at them.
Hilary flinched and blushed deeply when she saw Kai looking at her strangely. He then started walking up to her and held out his hand for her to take without uttering a word. She studied the extended limb and the possible motives behind it before an especially violent gust of wind knocked her into the tall boy.
'OW DAMN! I'm sorry Kai. STUPID WIND!' She yelled to the skies. Kai took her hand forcefully and dragged her towards the closest store.

An hour later
'Hey guys, do you think we should send out a search party or something? It's been ages since they've been gone' Tyson said whilst bouncing Jaden up and down in his lap. 'I think the little dude is getting hungry'
Daichi's eyes suddenly glowed red, 'Well he can't have my food!'. Ray sighed and got up to search the kitchen for possible snacks that would be suitable. Just as he got to the fridge, the door of the dojo opened.
Both teens were completely wet through; they shedded their coats and fell to the floor. They were panting heavily due to the fact they ran all the way from the store whilst holding on to numerous bags. Kai noticed all of the boys staring at Hilary with their mouths open wide, collecting flies. He looked down and his breath got caught in his throat.
Her shirt was completely drenched. She was wearing a bright blue bra which seemed a little too small for her and the rest of her could be seen clearly through her top. Her chest rose and fell with every breath and the boys' eyes were hypnotised by it; her long, wet leg splayed out in front of her uncaringly.
Hilary's eyes were closed as she tried to catch her breath. There was something wrong though, the whole room was too quiet. Just as she was about to open her eyes, something heavy landed on her, covering her whole body.
A quiet voice spoke up, 'go get changed'. She looked to see crimson eyes boring into hers. The other boys groaned in annoyance and Hilary looked bemused.
'What's up with you guys?' No-one answered.
If only she knew, Kai thought to himself.

'Okay so, you're meant to boil the water to kill any bacteria. Then add the formula and wait for it to cool. Should be easy enough.' The four remaining boys nodded at Hilary as she read the instructions out loud. 'So, who wants to make it?'
All heads turned to Ray. He sighed and mumbled something about giving it a go before disappearing into the kitchen.
'It's past midnight. Shouldn't he be asleep by now?' Tyson said whilst pointing at Jaden who was crawling towards Daichi.
Hilary replied, 'I think babies sleep after they eat or something. Maybe he's really hungry so he can't sleep'.
The whole room became quiet as all the occupants were deep in thought. The main question on everyone's mind was who would be heartless enough to abandon him.
Hilary broke the silence, 'Maybe his mum couldn't afford to look after him'.
Kai growled, 'that's no excuse'. Hilary flinched at his cold reply.
'Maybe there were some evil people after him. Like mafia members,' Daichi held his chin in his hand and stared at Jaden intently. Tyson smacked him over the head and told him not to be so stupid.
'If anyone would be after him, it wouldn't be mafia members. It would be ninjas'. Hilary and Kai groaned at the idiocy of the two boys who were now completely off topic.
Hilary scooted closer to Kai and whispered, 'do you think she'll come back for him?' Kai shook his head.
'Probably not.' Hilary frowned and leaned against the wall. There are many reasons why people might abandon their kids but they all seem selfish. However, you can't really judge people without getting to know them; there could be other circumstances that we just don't understand. To be perfectly honest though, I don't think I could abandon my child. But maybe I'm saying that because I've never been in that situation.
Ray entered the room holding a bottle of milk. He scooped Jaden up in his arms and carried him to Hilary, who held the boy in her arms and tested the temperature of the milk against her wrist. Perfect.
'That's great Ray, thanks'. He smiled and nodded at her before sitting down against the wall.
Jaden instantly began drinking from the bottle. The room was silent except for the quiet gulping noises the boy was making. Hilary glanced at Tyson and Daichi who were now fast asleep. Ray looked a little worn out and began to set up his bed in the dojo. She glanced up at Kai who was staring at the baby with an unreadable expression on his face. She held Jaden towards him.
'Do you want to hold him?'. Kai studied her for a moment before nodding and taking the boy in his arms. Jaden's green eyes stared up at Kai, and his crimson eyes stared down at Jaden. Hilary chuckled quietly at the two boys and marvelled at the similarities of their personalities. They were both quiet by nature and had a strange aura around them. She yawned and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jaden fast asleep.
Awww, there was a lot of KaiHil this chapter. (I couldn't resist!) Next chapter there will be more baby stuff :) Tell me what you think guys! Constructive criticism always appreciated!
