I've just realised that there's not much of this story left to write. I just need to set the stage for the final battle.

I've also realised that there isn't much fluff, so I tried to cram a load in. I'm not sure it's that good, and no matter what, the rating of this will stay a T. A slightly stronger one, but hey.

(And credit to Shay, for helping me with this cos it was really hard to do! )

Purple Lightning, Chapter 14

This was getting to be a little too much.

All of Hikaru's friends were scared of her now, after what she did to Kyoya. It was never ment to go this far, and now she needed answers. She needed to find Ryuuga.

It wouldn't be hard to get his attention, because he was always aware of what she was doing anyway. The dark power connected them both, in a way that went beyond human. If Hikaru closed her eyes and willed him to be there, he'd come.

XxX

Whatever she did, it worked. When Hikaru got back to her home, it was a lot colder than it usually was, and she could sense that he was there.

Hikaru kicked off her shoes, but didn't bother to put them away. Her socks made no noise as she walked across the hallway to get to the bottom of the stairs. The cold eased off a bit here, and the higher up the stairs she got, the warmer the air around her was.

Her room was the source of the heat, and she could feel it coming out in waves.

"You wanted to see me?" Ryuuga said, his voice sounding more playful and arrogant than anything. He was slouched out on Hikaru's bed, with his arm behind his head and his black shirt undone, revealing his toned upper body.

Hikaru lowered her head, fighting the urge to run away and silently knowing that this was a really bad idea. There was a moment of silence, in which nither of the two teens moved.

"Guess I'll just have to do the talking then"

Ryuuga disappeared for a second, and reappeared in front of Hikaru, causing her to recoil slightly. He quickly closed the gap between them again, and then the magnetism of both dark fragments set in, so Hikaru couldn't move away. So Hikaru didn't want to move away.

"Do you not like being this close to me, Hikaru?"

Ryuuga put his hand onto the shorter girl's cheek, and brought his face closer to hers. They were millimeters apart, and no matter how much she tried to deny it, Hikaru wanted him to close that gap.

Looking into his eyes, she couldn't deny that Ryuuga was absolutely gorgeous. And for a second, Hikaru let her mind wander.

"Hmmm? I can get even closer, if you want..."

Hikaru exhaled sharply, her face bright red. Ryuuga was saying exactly what she wanted to hear, yet exactly what she was so afraid of and it was tearing her in half. He saw the blush in her cheeks, and could guess what she was thinking far too well...

"Ryuuga… I-"

Hikaru tried to speak, but was startled into silence when Ryuuga put his head into the crook of her neck, deeply inhaling her scent. The girl's senses suddenly went into overdrive, like she was poised before a huge jump, and she could feel every hair on her body stand on end. He was teasing her, and she needed to fight back. One way or another.

Raising her arm, Hikaru got ready to hit out at Ryuuga. Somehow he knew, and used his supernatural reflexes to grab her wrist, quickly intertwining his fingers with hers. He laughed. Their lips connected for the second time, and this time Ryuuga wasn't waiting.

XxX

"Hikaruuuu! Are you home?!" A loud voice yelled up from the hallway.

Hikaru came out of her trancey state and roughly pushed Ryuuga away from her. Before he had time to react to stop her, the blue haired girl was off like a rocket, legging it off down the stairs.

It was Kyoya who was waiting for her, with his arm in a cast. It had ' Ginka was here!' scrawled on it messily. Hikaru gave him an awkward smile, and silently prayed that Ryuuga would stay upstairs.

He didn't.

Ryuuga walked deliberately slowly down the stairs, a wicked smile on his face.

Well. This was just great...

Haha, sorry this is so short. Reveiw please :)
