Flashback:

Next day, the sun was up brighter than any yesterday. The sunshine seemed to be gleaming in all its might.

She woke up, a little on time. Looking at the clock, she nodded. There was a satisfying and beautiful aura set in accordance with her mood. She got freshed up asap and happily ran downstairs, hugging her mom from the back. Her mom flinched in surprise but regained her composure quickly.

"Momma, " Hillary tried to sound adorable, "I've to tell you something."

Her mom chuckled secretly. Hillary noticed it. It must be one of the beauties of her mom that her dad had fell for her mom once upon a time. The thought made her chuckle back.

"What is it? " Hillary asked.

"I know it. Right. " Hilary's mom winked at her daughter before turning off the stove, "So darling, congrats that you've finally found the love of your life. "

"Whaa-"

"I know it too well. Tyson is a good guy. We agree with that. " the little daughter nodded, "And plus, besides being a champion, you said and I saw for myself that he's quite caring person. "

"Aww, thanks mom! "

"Dear, your breakfast is on the table before you go with your training session with him. He won't treat you daily."

"Ahha, he will. Only if I say him, "she grinned, "Anyway, I'll eat it."

She hurried towards her chair, grabbed the sandwich putting it half in her mouth, wearing her jacket around her shoulders, taking another bite, choking a little, wearing quickly her sports shoes and finally hanging her purse around her shoulder. She didn't pick her phone that was ringing- because, lol, she liked it's ring tone. it was perfect and beautiful- the piano cover of, "Let you go." song. Finally when lifted the phone from her denims pockets, she gave a quick smirk seeing it was Tyson's. She picked it and her mother could say who the caller was before she talked or strode out from the home. She shut the door leaving the house before beginning the conversation.

"He-llo-oo Tyss! "

"'Morning Hils! Are you coming t'day? "

"Yeah, on the way. Bye! "

She spun around on her shoes periodically, taking the blithe of the air and sunshine, serenading her favorite song. She saw a few of her classmates on the way- blading, skating, going on picnic trips of the summer. If they looked at her, she pretended to grin like Tyson and brisk trotted leaving behind the dust.

...

Max and Ray's blades were blading in the dish; spinning out of the boredom of the bladers. Rest of them were simply present in the dojo. She reached the dojo within no time and saw them- her gaze first falling on her lost boyfriend- who was standing, leaning against the wall, staring at the sky with his phone in one hand, revolving it with an obvious bored and dull expression on his face. Kai stood as Kai. His scarf was accompanying his sides very straightly and he'd not put his marks. He wasn't meditating but was in some cryptic profound ponders.

"Ahm- mmmn" Hillary coughed to get their attention.

"Huh? " Everyone responsed in unison.

"Hi guys, good morning. "

"Morning Hils. " everyone greeted her. Tyson stood in his normal posture after ceasing to lean against the wall, with his eyes gently following hers. She knew it but she reused of look at him. She was aware if everyone's presence. She sat beside Kenny and re watched the boring match of Max and Ray.

"Well Kenny, I do have a schedule for them today ya know. "

"Well then, what what you have decided for today?" Tyson asked smirking as he all of a sudden sat beside her keeping his elbow on her shoulder and pretending to lean at the genius's laptop. Hilary sweatdropped and blinked. Every one looked at the pair in shock except Kai.

"Everyone are looking at us Tyson, move back." Hilary whispered cautiously.

"Don't worry, I've kinda already said them, " he said trying to control his ever unfaltering grin and moving his face towards her more from the sideways until she felt the heat radiating through her cheeks.

He wasn't shameful like her, rather he continued nearing her until everyone first sweatdropped, reddened second and thirdly and eventually got lost, that is, disappeared. Well that was true, except for Kai. He stood impervious and in his original position.

Hilary had become a Lil tomato and she closed her eyes in fear and embarrassment.

Tyson suddenly said on her ears, "Hilary! "

She opened her eyes suddenly in fright, flinching back. She analyzed her surrounding, looking carefully and sighed- seeing there was nobody around was except the champion and his rival.

"You scared the crap out of me." she exclaimed in exhaust as her heart skipped a few unhealthy beats. He smirked at her comment.

The breeze was blowing a bit cold and she was wearing her short sleeved orange jacket and a yellow top. She heard Tyson slightly chuckling.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you that way." he said in the same smug tone.

"Phew, you look cool today; I mean happy. "

"I know I'm the cool one and so do I have a sweet girlfriend like you."

She laughed at the comment light-heartedly. "Thanks. "

She quirked an eyebrow as her eyes fully landed on his red jacket. It was playing a Lil in air

"What."

"Tyson, I frankly liked your navy jacket much better than this one." she said holding the lower part of the jacket and looking at it as if judging its trademark.

"You like my jacket or me in my jacket? " he sweatdropped.

"Hey silly, it's obvious, I meant the former one. " she said smiling.

"Aww Hils, you're so sweet sometimes! " he said too quickly and placed a kiss on her forehead quickly which astounded her and she was looking at him with wide eyes.

"What happened, you you zipped your mouth all of sudden? "

"Uh, nothing- that was quick. "

"So you're shocked? "

"Y-yeah."

"You want a non-shocking slow one then? "he grinned smartly.

She first didn't respond and her eyes were as wide as before and she was about to shrug her shoulders innocently; but then, she noticed the closeness in their positions. They were sitting on the dias with their legs down and only their hands were in perfect accord contact. She smiled slowly, freed both of her hands from his, slowly lifted them and kept then wide apart before draping them around him neck and pulling him towards her. They gently neared. She softly initiated the brush by her lips on his forehead until they were gentle, then persistent and finally soothing. Tyson was dumbstruck like anything but he took the lead immediately and wrapped his hands around her waist playfully under her jacket.

Hillary got a brief tickling sensation bit she felt something else too. What was it?

.

IT WAS A TAP ON THE SHOULDER!

She quickly moved away and so did Tyson and they saw the mysterious person standing in front of them.

Their former captain- Kai Hiwatari.

Tyson frowned at him,

"For what you did that Mr. Hot shot? "

"Because you were having your Lil romantic scene after you drove them away, and now they have missed their practice session."

"You did it for that? " Tyson's jaw dropped.

"I'm sorry Kai, this is their schedule. " Hilary said softly and took out a piece if paper from her pocket and handed that to him. Her words seemed to be kind and honest and Kai's expression softened at this- he was looking her intently.

Kai's POV:

Her voice was gentle and soft, not just her voice but even her action and of course, she, herself. I may look like this for eternity bur still never find the courage to admit anything. She and Tyson are together now and anything I do will only cause her grief. I admit, I'd fell for her.

It wasn't like love at first sight. This sensation is different and it's not rough. That's what caused confusion in me from the start. Everything in life was never kind, it had to be tough, hard, rude and there was no soft or gentle feelings for long. They came like once upon a blue moon and has to vanish but looking at her, there was something different that I'd been ignoring, but not anymore now.

Yep, it was about her.

And here I'm, shrug my shoulders coldly when I find something breaking me into a nervous wreck and move away like I don't give a darn.

I remember how it all started.

From the beginning, I found fine or say interesting watching her. That vague feeling had made bloody lot of successful development in the course. Phew.

I stayed quiet, watched her watching sunsets, her beautiful features and embers that glimmered by her actions. Her personality resembled Tyson's sometimes- rough and brash when it came to commanding.

Her smiles- wonder how can they drive off grieves. As for me, something that drove my grief was basically NOTHING. It was probably 'Time'.

And there's her eyes lighting the darkness- that's my darkness being lighted.

You know what, it's taking not even a pound of my pride to admit it. I love her and so much and I'm so satisfied that I won't be fighting for that. I'm ready for this sacrifice.

I'm okay, fine, good, great.

I just wish her to be happy and always smile the way like she's doing now. That's what I've got to say.
