Hello everybody!
Thank you sooo much for the wonderful reviews last chapter!
Sorry to disappoint…but this is probably one of the worst chapters I've written…
Now, here's a little test for everyone reading this. A while ago, I decided that I wanted to end the story in a certain way (which will happen in this chapter). But after a few discussions with a couple of my friends, I thought I should make a sequel, because MANY people would hunt me down and murder me once they see what I do. So I have a question...would you like to see this story continue, should I stop, or should I post a sequel? If I DO continue the chapters with this story, I can guarantee that it will be LONG! And I know that some might not like the idea of a fic that has over 30 chapters. So I'm leaving it up to you all...just tell me what you think in a review! But of course, if you don't read this...you probably will think this is the last chapter. Yes, I guess you can call it evil...but I want to see how many people will actually read my note this time! This chapter is a bit rushed...and like...zero questions are answered. I'm sure I'll be flamed, but oh well...so I apologize for the stupidness of this chapter...it just kinda...ends. I hate it! Alright, so with that said, here's the next chapter! Enjoy if possible... Special Thanks: ghostymangarocker Ying-yang Angel Lunar Fire

LOL! Thanks so much! (hugs) you're the best!
Thanks! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not though ' I'm glad you liked it! I think my fight scenes are bad though (shrugs) Thanks for the comment!
That's a good idea! I'm tired of writing chase scenes though...you'll see what happens ' You seem to never be out of ideas! Do you have any for my other stories? lol
I don't think I mentioned their ages...and I'm too lazy to go and check. I'll have to get back to you on that one though...because I'll have to think about it. Yes, this story is going to lead up to season one, though quite a few things will probably be different (if that isn't obvious). I've heard of that movie, and want to see it, but haven't found the time. From the previews I've seen of it, it looks really good! So now that you have said so, I will definitely have to see it! Naw, rambling doesn't bore me at all! Don't worry about it! I LOVE getting reviews from you! I really appreciate what you have to say! That's why when I reply it's usually the longest! ' Heh...now I'M rambling! Thank you sooo much for the review!

Chapter 14 : Live For Me
"Get him inside! NOW! We can't stay here any longer!" The pilot yelled into his headset, looking back into the chopper.
Kai was tossed around slightly as the pilot brought the chopper back into control, his grip slipping to the tail end of the battered scarf.
"Don't give up now Kai!" Hilary's voice caught his attention as he gazed up with glassy crimson eyes.
"Come on Hilary!" Mr. Dickinson grabbed the scarf and began pulling, and slowly, Kai was hoisted up to the open door.
Suddenly, more bullets ricocheted off the sides of the helicopter, and one bounced back and tore through the white fabric that kept Kai from falling to him doom.
The fabric frayed quickly, and soon the end Kai's fingers were clenched around ripped, and he began to fall.
"No! Kai!" Hilary reached out to him just as he managed to grab the landing gear of the chopper.
The helicopter swayed violently to the side at the sudden weight, and the pilot tried desperately to control it.
The blue haired teen let out a hoarse breath as the impact forced all the air out of his lungs. He watched his legs dangle below him for a moment before his strength left his exhausted arms and he slipped off, holding on with only his hand.
"Hilary…" His voice was barely audible over the noise of the engine. He suddenly went into another coughing fit, heaving for breath.
"Kai! Grab my hand! Come on!" The brunette screamed, watching as his fingers began to lose their grip.
Another bullet came from the ground, nearly hitting Hilary in the head.
"I can't! I'll pull you down!"
"I don't care! Just grab my hand! Hurry!"
The blue haired teen smiled sadly, knowing very well that it was impossible. "I am sorry…I won't be able to keep my whole promise to you, but at least you can live free…" He coughed again as Hilary already started to protest. "Live a life for me…and never forget…that I love you!"
With that, Kai's grip was lost completely, and he began to fall through the cold, snowy air.
"KAAAAIII!" Hilary screamed, tears pouring down the sides of her face.
She wanted to jump out after him in a desperate attempt to catch him, but Mr. Dickinson pulled her back.
The helicopter pulled to the right, heading to the east and out of the gunners' range.
"No! Go back! We have to save him!" The brunette cried out, trying desperately to claw her way out of the elder's grip.
She managed to catch a sight of Kai as he plummeted toward the ocean. A smile was plastered on his face, and he was staring up at her.
"I love you Hilary…" His voice rang through her mind.
Suddenly, the blue haired teen disappeared under the dark waters with a large splash.
"KAI!" The brunette finally gave up her struggle, and curled up on the floor of the helicopter in despair, heaving sobs of hot, heavy tears.
Mr. Dickinson closed the door, wiping away his own tears and returned to Hilary's side, wrapping a thick blanket around her as she cried.
"Kai!" She wailed, pounding at the flooring weakly. "Kai!" The brunette screamed into the air. Her voice suddenly failed her, and she was reduced to sobbing loudly against the floor.
Suddenly, two warm arms wrapped themselves around her shoulders, pulling the girl into a comforting hug. "Shh...It's alright..."
"No it's not Mr. D!" She screamed through her tears. "Kai's dead! He said he would come home with me! He PROMISED!"
She just couldn't understand why...why did he leave her? Why did he give up!
The helicopter continued to the east, following the early morning sunlight. The brunette's voice was completely worn out by her screaming and crying, and she could only sit, curled up on the floor heaving dry sobs into her knees.
"We'll be arriving soon sir. ETA…8 am." The pilot stated.
Hilary noticed a small object roll under her legs, its metallic finish glowing in the light.
She reached out and grabbed it, bringing it close to her.
"Dranzer…" She sniffed loudly. "You idiot…you left Dranzer too!"
The beyblade gave off soothing warmth in her hand. The sudden heat startled her, but she held on.
The teen looked down at the center of the blade, to see Dranzer glowing magnificently back up at her, as if trying to give her strength.
"Kai..." Closing her eyes, she held the beyblade close to her chest and drifted off into a deep, dark sleep.
The darkness faded into a hazy fog, surrounding everything in sight.
Hilary glanced around nervously. "Where am I?" Her voice echoed in the vastness.
She turned to her right, and gasped. "Who's there!" A dark figure had appeared in the distance.
The teen began walking timidly toward it, the figure becoming clearer with each step.
Suddenly, a fierce wind blew past her, forcing the mist to scatter.
She gasped, finally recognizing the figure before her.
"KAI!" The brunette smiled widely, waving her arm in the air as if to call him over.
The figure never moved. Instead, he picked up his right leg and began to walk away from Hilary, not even passing a glance over his shoulder.
"What the heck Kai!" Hilary yelled after him, yet he didn't stop. "Hey!" She began to run after him.
She was only a few feet away now, and she reached out to grab him, but suddenly, the blank world around her seemed to freeze, except for Kai.
"Kai! Don't go!" She reached out for him, but didn't appear to be getting any closer.
"Hilary..." His voice was misty as he glanced over his shoulder and stared at her with lifeless crimson eyes.
"KAI!" She jumped at him, her arms extended.
Her fingers grasped the fabric on his back, but suddenly slipped through. The brunette soon found herself sliding through Kai as if he was an apparition.
His form suddenly disintegrated like a cloud of smoke, and floated around her.
"NO!" She found herself falling straight to the darkness below her.
"NO!" Hilary jerked upward in a flash, her chocolate bangs clinging to her face as she panted desperately to regain her breath.
She collapsed back onto the fluffy bed below her with a sigh, staring up at the white ceiling with wide ruby eyes. "Kai..." She muttered, fighting the tears forming once again.
Despite her efforts, hot trails of water began running down her face, mingling with her tangled locks around her head. "No...it can't be true..." She threw her arms over her face and heaved in a long breath as more tears fell.
Moving her arm slightly, she was able to examine her new surroundings, somewhat curious by the odd sounds in the room.
She was in a hospital now. The helicopter must have landed sometime after she had fallen asleep. A couple machines lined the wall behind her, monitoring her pulse and feeding her medicine through an IV.
Her adventures in Russia had definitely taken a toll on her body. She was dehydrated and a bit underweight, not to mention extremely exhausted.
Sudden voices caught her attention from the hall outside.
"You said that the young man she was with was lost, correct?" It was a doctor, she could only guess
"She watched him fall..." Mr. Dickinson's voice replied, his tone solemn.
"She's no doubt mentally stressed by that. I'll give her some mild medication in case she breaks down. But just make sure that her friends and family are all there to support her during this time."
"They will...but doctor? How long will she be like this?"
"It's hard to say. A broken heart like that could take a long time to heal, but then it all depends on Hilary..."
"I understand. Thank you doctor."
She quickly wiped her eyes and face of water as the door opened and Mr. Dickinson appeared.
"Oh! You've awakened!" He smiled joyfully at her. "How do you feel?"
"Tired." She tried to hide the fact that she had been crying, but it didn't go unnoticed as her voice cracked.
The elder smiled sadly and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Here...I thought you might want this..."
He placed a scruffy, white cloth in her lap...what was left of Kai's scarf.
The brunette gasped as she held it gently, feeling the rough patches of fabric mixed in with softer ones. It had been washed gently, but some dirt and blood remained. It didn't really matter to Hilary though.
"Thank you Mr. D." She smiled up at the BBA manager.
"Oh, and this as well!" This time, he motioned to a roughed up blue object sitting next to her on a nightstand.
"Dranzer!" She had forgotten about it.
Its metallic finish gleamed in the sunlight coming through a partially opened window.
The site of the master-less bitbeast nearly sent her into another crying fit, but she managed to hold it in as her attention was quickly directed to the door once again.
A nurse walked in, a happy smile plastered across her face.
"You're awake! Wonderful!" The nurse's smile beamed down at the teen. "Eat this when you want..." She placed a tray of food on the nightstand next to the beyblade.
"And let's get some more light in here..." The nurse stated, pulling open the curtains and opening the window.
The brunette grimaced at the suddenly brightness but quickly adjusted.
"Oh! I almost forgot...there's someone here to see you..."
Before the elder could even finish, a navy haired boy burst through the door, followed by a short brunette with a computer clutched to his chest.
"Tyson! Kenny!"
"Hey Hilary! How are you doing? It's great to see you!" Kenny exclaimed.
"We heard about everything when you were taken! Are you alright? They didn't do anything, did they?" Tyson began his barrage of questions.
"I'm alright Tyson." Hilary smiled at her friend, giving him a tight hug. "I'm glad to see that you're alright!"
After giving Kenny a hug as well, their peace was interrupted by a loud gasp.
"What an awesome beyblade!" Tyson gasped, seeing Dranzer on the nightstand.
"It's not mine Tyson..." Hilary replied solemnly.
"You should let me fix it up...I'm sure he'd like it." Kenny said softly, nodding slightly at his friend.
Ruby eyes seemed to smile at the small boy. He had always been the smart one, and he probably already knew about the events that had happened in Russia.
"Thanks Kenny...but I'll have to think about it." She wanted that beyblade just as it was, as if Kai could come back and get furious that someone tampered with his Dranzer. The brunette smiled at that thought.
"We were really worried about you Hil...we thought that you were gone for good!" The navy haired blader exclaimed. "And when we saw the news when those two kids that were kidnapped with you came back, we got even more scared!"
"Everyone thought that you would have your memory wiped clean as well!" Kenny added.
"Who knew a girl would be the blader that whoever was behind this was looking for!"
Suddenly, Tyson cried out in pain and Kenny kicked him sharply in the shins. The navy haired teen jumped on his left foot while holding the other.
Hilary couldn't help but giggle and the scene. It had been so long since she had seen her friends, and the everyday stupid things Tyson would do. It comforted her inside to know that she was now home, safe and sound...just like Kai had promised.
The door was opened once again, but this time the nurse stepped in again.
"I'm sorry, but you all need to leave now. Hilary needs her rest."
"Alright Hil...we'll come back and see you tomorrow!" Tyson waved at her before following Kenny back into the hall.
"Bye guys!" She waved back, smiling slightly as the door closed.
The brunette let out a heavy sigh and hung her head.
"You're going to be okay...Kai made sure of that..." Mr. Dickinson's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Hilary stood from her bed, wrapping the torn scarf around her neck and breathing in Kai's everlasting scent. She prayed silently that it would never fade, for fear that she would forget him.
She went to the window, and peered out into the clear blue sky, fluffy white clouds clustering about in the distance.
"He didn't love me Mr. Dickinson…if he did, why didn't he grab my hand! Why did he let himself fall? Why did he leave me alone!"
"For him to protect you through all of this…he must have loved you more than you could ever imagine! There is no greater love than for someone to lay down their life for the person they truly care for."
Hilary sniffed, rubbing her eyes with the back of her sleeve as fresh tears began to form.
"I can't answer your questions as to why he did it…but you know what I think?"
"What?" Hilary sniffed again, unable to stop her tears.
"I think he knew that he couldn't come back with you. I think his only goal was to get you out safely. He was your guardian angel, and you were his light in a dark place…and he isn't going to leave you alone." The elder placed a comforting hand on her small shoulder. "…I bet he's watching you right now."
The brunette felt more hot tears running down her cheeks. She turned around and threw herself in Mr. Dickinson's arms, crying into his shoulder.
"Thank you Mr. Dickinson...I think you're right." She pulled away and gazed back out the window. "I bet he's watching over us all." And I killed Kai! (gasps) that's a first for me! Sorry people, but I wanted to do it at some point... Please review and tell me what you think!
-----------------------
Yeah, like I said...it just kinda...ends...and questions weren't really answered...I probably should have taken more time to write this...stupid school!
