Chapter Fourteen:
Hiro had come to pick us up, I had a nice day away with Hilary that I didn't really want to go back. As the car pulled up, I saw the girls and some of the guys.
"You ready?" Hilary whispered.
"No" I whispered back.
We got out and was bombarded with questions. I was dragged away by the scouts for some privacy.
"Who did they get? Are they ok?" I fired before they could say anything.
"She's fine and we don't know her. Her name is Liz."
I nodded and listened to how the battle. I was getting fed up with these creeps getting one over us, this time I was so going to make them pay.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
The girls and I had made a game plan, we were going to patrol as sailors tonight. I headed back to the room, determination running through me, I wasn't going to let anyone else get hurt. I walked into the room, leaving the door open and headed to my bag, grabbing m phone and putting it on charge, it turned on and suddenly started going off.
"It's good to see it works." I whirled around to see Kai standing there looking really pissed.
I just stared at him, his arms were folded. I had no idea what to say to him, I had failed badly. I was meant to protect him.
"Sorry, it was dead." I said after a while of silence. It was the worst silence I have ever been the cause of.
He closed the door behind, leaning against it. I groaned inwardly, I wasn't getting out of here anytime soon. Lucky my shift was the later one. I flicked my eyes to the screen to check the time. It was just after six at night.
"You hungry?" I asked, hoping to distract him. He didn't answer.
"I take it you're not then."
I turned my back on him, trying to ignore him, it was hard since I could feel his eyes burning holes into the back of my head, my poor head. The picture of his heart crystal coming out his chest appeared, I tried to shake it away. It wasn't working, I felt my eyes getting all teary, I didn't turn around.
"Are you ok?" his voice was a lot softer than before, I didn't turn, I couldn't.
"Fine." I gritted out through my teeth. There was a knock on the door, which I was grateful for.
"Rei?" Came Mina's voice. "You ready?"
"Coming, be down in a few." I shouted back, I got rid of the tears and turned back, giving my best serious face.
"I need to go." I walked up to the door and stopped, I looked up at him. I saw him trying to read through me but he wasn't going to be able to. My determination had come back full front, I was going to make sure no one else got hurt to these creepers. I reached for the door handle, I went to turn it but paused and looked back at Kai.
"Go then." He said.
I felt my body have an internal fight, then something won inside that made me do this. I got to my tip toes and placed a kiss on his lips and then quickly ran out, my face flamed but something felt better inside.
Hilary's POV:
I was sitting in a room with Ray, we had just talked to Amy who said they had something important to do tonight.
"What do you think it is?" I asked him.
He stopped cleaning Drigger and turned to me.
"I don't know, sorry Hilary."
"I hope they are ok." I said, I was starting to like all those girls, especially Rei. She was so nice, easy enough to hang out with. I smiled when I had read through all my messages, I turned to Ray as I stopped on one of Kai's messages.
"Kai likes Rei, doesn't he." I stated it, Ray sighed and looked at me again. I smiled brightly, excellent. This was the best news I had heard all day.
"He really likes her." Ray confirmed to me.
"I knew it." I said, we stayed in silence just smiling at each other. It was rare when Kai had any type of feelings but for a girl, the world had spun on some kind of angle.
The door opened and in came the devil we were just talking about, he seemed to out of it, like kind of happy. I looked at Ray who looked at me, we shrugged, getting kind of scared.
"What happened?" I asked after a few minutes.
"What?" Kai asked, clearly he was away with the fairies, well maybe not fairies. He probably scared them away. Those poor fairies.
"With Rei? Did you find her?" I asked, he was never this daft.
"Yes, I found her." Was all he said.
"And?"
"What?" he asked, finally snapping back in to it.
"Come on man, just spill, we won't say anything." Ray chimed in. I nodded eagerly, wanting to know what happened.
"She kissed me." He said a little confused.
"THAT'S GREAT!" I jumped up out the chair and threw my arms around him, he remained upright, being use to this by now.
"Why do you seem confused about it?" Ray asked.
"Something was up."
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
The three of us went to meet up with Tyson, Max, Tala and Brooklyn. I wasn't keen on being the only girl but I couldn't find the other girls anywhere. There was an earthquake kind of thing, I grabbed onto Tyson who latched onto me,
"Are you ok Hilary?" he asked, kissing my cheek. I nodded, looking around. Then that's when we saw some kind of fireball and two people flipping out the way.
"HA! You need to try better than that!" Sailor Mars commented. I was in total shock, the scouts were only a few feet away from where we were. I turned to see all the guys wearing shocked faces, even Tala and Kai did. I turned back, they clearly hadn't noticed us.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" The monster thing screeched at Sailor Mars. She dodged the attack with ease. When she landed she stood and then as she pointed her finger, fire came out and hit the beast. It screamed in pain. I turned to see the other girl and it was Sailor Venus. She blew it a kiss, the monster screamed again. Then the other three sailors landed surrounding the beast. Sailor moon pulled out her septar and attacked the monster. The beast disintegrated and the girls remained smiling.
"OMG!" Max said for all of us. They all turned, their faces were that of shock.
"We need to go." Sailor Mercury said to us but I was sure she meant to the others who were staring at some of us. The girls nodded and then they raced off, they were so fast I could barely see where they went.
I turned back to the others after a few seconds more of staring at nothing.
"That was…." I was looking for a good word.
"Intense." Came Tyson, we all turned to him in shock.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
After the battle we had seen, I went in search for the girls, I opened the room door and found them all asleep, I smiled and headed back out.
"They all asleep?" I turned and nodded at Kai.
"I'm not tired just yet."
He nodded and started to walk past me, I watched after him.
"Are you coming, Hilary?"
I jogged up and just managed to keep pace with him. We went to the beydishes where Kai launched Dranzer. I watched as Dranzer went through the course Kai set up, he made it look so easy.
"Kai?"
"Hm?" he didn't turn to me but I knew he was listening to me.
"Do you like Rei?" I asked, I wanted to hear him admit it to me. We had been friends for a few years now. I saw Dranzer falter a little and smirked.
"What makes you ask that?" he responded, such a Kai response as well. When he didn't want to talk about something he would answer with a question.
"Well the fact is I see you stare at her when you think no one is looking. You get annoyed when the other guys makes her smile or laugh. You hate when she ditches you or doesn't respond. You follow…."
He cut me off.
"Ok I get it. Maybe a little." He answered after a few seconds. I smiled.
"You going to tell her?" I heard him sigh.
"I don't know Hilary."
"Well give it a go, I say. Practice on me." I suggested. He turned to e with a smirk.
"You would like that."
"Maybe." We both laughed. Drazner launched itself back to Kai's hand. Kai turned to me and then came and sat beside me. I saw him think about it for a few minutes, I started to act all girly
"So I don't know if you know this…" he stopped and shook his head. I laughed, I had never seen Kai do this before. Get all flustered. I was loving it.
"I want to get to know you better because I really like you." He looked at me, waiting for me to respond.
"Oh Kai, I like you to." I said putting on a voice, it sounded nothing like her but still. He smiled and turned back round to the dish. I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"She will be one lucky girl."
