Tomorrow's my birthday! YAY! '¬¬

I want this story to get to an end less than you guys. But this is the last chapter. The last chapter of "When the Love has to End".

I sincerely hope you like it…

Author notes are in the end of the chapter…

There you go…

When the love Has to End: Chapter 25 (last chapter): I Love You.

'No Kai… don't give up… you know he's guilty…' thought a worried Ray.

'Come on boy, you can do it…' though Krina. 'Please take him down…'

"You want proof, right?" suddenly asked Irena. Most of Kai's friends sighed relieved. "Then why don't you pay a look at the medical diagnoses? DNA shows that the man called Boris Balkov has been raping several times these minors, and what's more, here are the orders. The language may be unknown for some of us, but it's written in German and was collected by one of the teens from the man's office. It has Voltaire Hiwatari's signature on it, there's no way to prove back that he hasn't got to do with the punishments."

Her words meant complete silence in the room. Suddenly the judge spoke. "Please hand in the papers and explain why didn't you hand them before with the rest of the evidence."

Irena sighed. "The inflicted boy with the recompilation of this information hadn't handed it out before, that's why."

Kai could see how Bryan closed his eyes in approval. That's why he had always behaved well. Thinking back he realized, Bryan had never rejected Boris, he had never denied to training… and he truly had got advantages from that. Everything was clear.

Then he looked at Voltaire's face. Rage was his characteristic at this moment, he had never seen him so angry before. And he was happy about that.

"Now it's your time to say the verdict." Irena pleaded to the judge, who took all the evidence, hit the hammer, and ordered everybody to leave the room.

Ray sighed heavily. The day before had been a long one. Subconsciously he grabbed his girlfriend's waist and pulled her closer.

"You tired?" she asked, above a whisper.

"I am… very tired. But anyway… I'm thankful to this experience… I wouldn't have met you otherwise."

"Yeah… but I'd prefer I had met you apart from all this…"

Ray smiled comprehensively. Indeed, if it hadn't been by Kashira's mother help, they wouldn't have won the trial. And it had been due to her hard work, and, he had to admit, Bryan's bravery in stealing Boris' and Voltaire's plans, they wouldn't have succeed. He could retell exactly how things had gone at the court. He hadn't missed a second.

He could remember Voltaire's face growing in anger, his lawyer standing up and trying to defend him, Bryan's smirk when he handed, for once, the needed evidence, and Irena's peaceful look when she pronounced the words that would take down the corporation…

Voltaire had been given everlasting sentence, and he could clearly remember Kai's face lightening up, and Hilary cheering when the applauses could be heard from the public seats.

It had seemed an eternal second. Witnesses were not needed, the evidence Irena had was enough. Now the new recruits would be given to adoptive families, and the other teens… well, before thinking in what they'd do next, they had many things to process.

Ray smiled weakly and placed a soft kiss in Kashira's lips. She had known it from the beginning. She had been the only one who had never lost hope in her mother as a professional, and in the teens.

Krina smiled at the sight of the beautiful sunset that could be seen from the Kinomiya Dojo. Happiness tears started to from in her grey eyes, as she remembered the baby she had once given birth to. She was alive. Her only daughter was alive.

God, if she could only repeat for a second the relief in the teen's faces when Voltaire was finally found guilty, and sentenced. Even Kai, who was his own grandson, couldn't be happier at that second.

Darkness reflected on her eyes at the mere thought of her dead brother was obvious. He had kept her only treasure for himself… and what's more… he had given her some lessons she would never forget.

But hope shined again in Krina's eyes when she thought that, for once, she was sure the youngest was in safe hands. And those hands were…

Slight, evening breeze shifted dark violet hair as Natasha sat down on the grass in the Kinomiya's garden.

"How are you feeling Tasha?" Caring, strong arms of her boyfriend went round her slim waist from behind.

"I think… relieved. You know… being told I'm not alone is something awesome… being told that your mother hasn't abandoned you… that she still cares for you…"

"I know…"

"I still… don't know how to feel about her… but just the idea that she is my mom makes me feel much better. Thanks Bry… for everything."

"You don't have to thank me… this is how things went on, I did nothing for us to get here."

"Certainly, it was you who stole the papers…"

"It was an accident… -Lilac-haired rested his chin on her shoulder.- you know it was an accident. They were along with the keys, so I took them in case they were a map or some clue."

"And they were such a clue…" she sighed heavily, before turning her head to her boyfriend's and placing a soft kiss that prolonged on his Russian lips.

"I think everything got to a good end at last" elder words pronounced with such a conviction no one could deny they were true. Everything was over.

"Would you like more tea, Stanley?" Grandpa offered at the man sitting next to him in the kitchen table.

"No, thanks, it's fine."

"Had you hope for these teens to make it?" suddenly the other man, Tyson's father, interrupted the tea-conversation.

"Certainly I had. These youths have made their way through most of their adventures and mishaps, I was pretty sure everything would turn fine. Since Kai left to Russia for those children, I knew they were getting involved in another adventure, and they would make it through it, as a team."

"I think you are completely correct, Stanley… after all, Kai, Hilary, Tala, Bryan, Natasha, Ray, Tyson, Max, Kenny, and Kashira have all made their way on their own, and they succeeded. Someone must have brought them up well." He stated, going back then to the tea he was having.

'Kai… many things happened in Russia you can't remember. But I'm sure you won't forget many things too… and one of them… is Boris' suicide.'

Lost thoughts of a loner invaded Tala's mind. Sitting by the lake in the garden he could feel a warm evening surrounding him. Everybody was happy. And that was enough for him.

He could clearly enough remember Biovolt's last fall. That was the last one, he knew it for sure. Boris was dead, and Voltaire hadn't much life time already. They had won. They were free… for once.

Nostalgic tears came to his icy blue eyes when he remembered the kids. Now they'd probably be in their new adoptive homes. He was glad they could save them, and he had to admit, they wouldn't have done it without Kai's help. The Russian was very strategic at the time of making decisions, and he had been when he decided to go to Russia after the tournament.

Kai had risked it all when going. He had a girlfriend in Japan, and evil hands in which he hadn't got to fall again. But anyway he had done it. They had escaped, for once and for all.

"Nah I don't think so! I think this is about to begin, dudes!" over-happy Tyson spoke between two pieces of cake he was eating.

"Tyson…" sighed Kenny.

"No, Chief, he'll never change. His spirit is up to limits today… yeah… here we go again…" Max complained, at the sight of his teammate waiting for a challenger.

"I no! Tala!!" he cheerful said as he grabbed his beyblade and went immediately to the garden looking for the redhead.

Max and Kenny sighed heavily, and followed their friend. If the last one had been a hard day, then this one was going to be even harder, having to stand Tyson that way already.

"Finally… some peace and quiet…" ruby eyes closed calmly, tired head resting on the shoulder of the guy next to her.

"I remember when all this began… I was so foolish…" caring hand on her back pressed her tightly against his chest.

Her eyes opened suddenly and met with crimson ones of the guy she loved. "Why do you say that?" she asked above a whisper.

"Hn… just thinking I couldn't tell you what I felt… for you…"

"Kai… we all are afraid of what others may say if we tell them what we feel… and that's because nobody has the necessary self-confidence not to fear rejection… remember I am your first date…"

"Yeah… anyway… I'm happy I told you for once…"

"I'm happy too Kai. I'm happy… all this mess has got to an end."

"Hil… sit here…" he asked suddenly, himself taking a seat next to her in the fresh grass of the garden.

She took her place next to him, and reclined her body on his. Kai clutched her little hand in his bigger one, and linked their fingers. "They fit" she whispered.

Kai smiled playfully, and taking her by surprise he grabbed her chin with his right hand and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Her free arm rounded his neck pulling him in a warm embrace at the time they kissed.

Hands still holding each other, his right arm now around her waist, she gave in and let him kiss her passionately.

Once they broke up the kiss, Kai stared at her beautiful eyes in such admiration. It was what he felt for her. He admired her bravery, he admired her courage to express herself, say what she liked and disliked, say what bothered her and what pleased her.

He could remember each step of their relationship as if it was written. He could remember the movie they had seen in his birthday, how they had got closer to each other subconsciously, the t-shirt she had given him, that now he was wearing… how he had been 'chosen' to sleep with her in Tyson's playful game, how he had kissed her in his birthday night.

He could remember the tournament notification, and his sudden change of attitude at the Biovolt's note… how she had been next to him each day, during the trainings, giving him a reason not to give up against his grandfather… how she had understood him when he had told her the truth, and how she tried to defend him when he was caught at the tournament…

He remembered the last sight he had of her, when he saw her running away, non-drying tears on her cheeks while she ran, pretending that everything had to be ok, that he would be fine.

When he finally escaped, and they had their first closer relationship, in the room, while the final match was taking place. And he also remembered when he had wrote her the letter and attached the song, because leaving was a must.

How he had missed her and never forgot her, and how he had met her again, by mere chance, in the Japanese airport. The sleeping beauty.

And then at the courtroom, when she had even cried for him not to loose hope. Never… she'd never let him fall. And he knew that. He loved her.

He loved her more than anything else in the world.

Staring at handsome crimson eyes she thought about him. How he had first passed right through her without even saying 'hello'… and how the relationship had changed with time… how he had saved her life, risking his… twice.

How she had worried about him, and how the mutual affection had been evident in his 16th birthday. How he had turned aggressive at Biovolt's unexpected appearance, and how he had left her… promising he would return.

She had never lost hope in that guy. She had always believed he would make it… and he had made it.

She could remember his suddenly appearance at the middle of the tournament, and the reason for him to do it… to show her his love… and with that he had made a never ending promise. To love her.

Months after his disappearance she had decided to go and look for him… and that determination of hers couldn't be beaten. And after all he had found her, in the airport… thanks to some mistake she had made.

As well as the trial… how much she had prayed for him to win this for once… to defeat the person he hated the most… and so did her. She could retell his hopeless but determined answers to his grandfather's lawyer… and how she had cried but never lost hope in her boyfriend. She loved him.

She loved him more than anything else in the world.

The most pleased and glad smile drew itself in the Russian guy's face. He was smiling at the most beautiful sight he could ever have. The sight of his girlfriend.

The sight of Hilary.

The end.

And… (sniff) that's (sniff) it. I don't want this to end. But now is "When the story has to end"… and there's no other way.

Some day this had to get to an end… and here it is. The end. I'm really crying guys… really. I love this story as much as you do… and I'm very proud of it.

This is my hardest work as an author, I have developed all I learned in this story. I know the first chapters may not be as good as the last ones, but I promise that now that the story has finished, I'm going to improve them.

I really didn't want to write this chapter, coz as being the last one was a certain meaning that the story had got to an end. And that doesn't cheer me up really.

But I believe everything has to get to an end sometimes. And this story is over. I will be doing another KaiHil very soon.

I truthfully hope you liked this chapter, and I hope you liked the whole story.

I would be very pleased if you guys who are reading this and haven't reviewed do it in this chap, as being the last one I would love to see who're the people that are reading it. Thank you.

As for the ones who always review, I want to honestly thank you for all the support you've given me through this long time, since the story started you've always been there helping me to go on with it… really, thank you.

I love you all…

Thank you again…

(sighs…)
