This took so long to write, for some reason I just couldn't get into the KaiHil writing mood, I've spent that last few evenings reading KaiHil fiction and watching KaiHil vids on Youtube. It actually helped and here's the short fruit of my labours.
I do not own Beyblade
Tia stood with Tyson and Max talking to them about Ray and the baby, both boys listened interestedly to what she was saying laughing when she described Ray holding his daughter for the first time. The three of them were laughing together when Kai ran up to them looking frantic.
"Have you seen Hilary?" Kai asked sounding desperate, they all stared at him shocked and shook their heads.
"Not since you and she ran off earlier" Tia informed him nervously, she hadn't seen Kai like this in a while.
"She's gone, she ran off"
"Well we're all dotted around the hospital here, I'm, sure one of us has seen her" at that moment Tala and the rest of the Blitzkrieg Boys walked up to join them. "Have you guys seen Hils?"
"No, but isn't she trying to keep a low profile…?" Tala asked looking around "I mean… she is supposed to be dead."
"Where the Hell could she have gone?" Kai growled as he looked around the room, "she wouldn't just leave, not with Mariah in hospital!"
"What's happened?" Tyson's asked "why would she run off?" Kai remained silent unwilling to tell them why Hilary would run off.
"That doesn't matter right now, the important thing is where she went… where would she go?" Spencer asked himself
"I don't know why don't we all stand around asking each other. I bet that'll help!" Renaldo muttered back. He then turned to the group saying loudly "Ok people we know this town and we know Hilary, lets split and search. I'll make my way to the beach via the docks, Tyson you make your way to the lake. Max you go to the park where you all used to train, Call Kenny tell him to go to those old warehouses where the saint shields were based, I'll take the old fairground and my base they're close together, Kai you go to any place that Hilary may have loved. Everyone else call the others and tell them to get looking go wherever they can think of and you do the same, restaurants, cinema's, coffee places, anything OK? The weathers turning bad she may have taken shelter so check every alleyway, every place where there is any sort of protection from the rain Flash text everyone when you find her, meet back at the Dojo in two hours no matter what Got it?"
"Got it!" everyone chorused and they left the room.
Turning to look out the window Kai looked out at the cloudy skies, the forecast had threatened thunder, full of regret Kai began to run and search for his girlfriend praying that she was indoors.

Safely ensconced in a hotel with a false name and paying cash two girls were trying to come to terms with what they were planning. There was a real difference to the way Hilary made her plans and the way the others did. Millie had watched the brunette as she sat making extensive notes on what was going to happen, every day had a plan, and every plan had a timescale, she was beginning to understand why Hilary had told her that planning the event would take a while. Tyson and the others were far more likely to just come up with any old plan and go for it not bothering to check if it could be done.
"This is going to be a lot different form the Scooby plans the guys come up with" Hilary told her smiling as she stared at her in the mirror
"Scooby?" Millie asked confusedly
"Yeah, you know in Scooby Doo where they have a plan but it's kind of thrown together, it usually all goes wrong."
"But they manage to catch the bad guy anyway" Millie agreed laughing "and it's always someone in a mask"
"I know, I loved that in the second movie where Freddie Prince jnr goes up and says the real identity of Ned is… Ned!" Hilary laughed in remembrance, "And Velma got to date Seth Green, he's so cute"
"I know….I'd have loved to be Velma then"
"I'm afraid you're going to be Daphne this time" Hilary informed her with a wry smile
"Just get it over with!"
"Do you know what I was thinking?" Hilary asked as she mixed up chemicals in a tube
"My telepathy sensor is off today so no, I don't" Millie responded pulling the towel around her shoulders ever closer.
"I was wondering what's been happening on Neighbours recently. Thanks to my grandfather I've missed out on month's worth of Neighbours… I wonder what happened with Bridget's baby?"
"I don't know… I'm a home and away girl myself." Millie replied then frowned in thought "But didn't Bridget die recently?"
"Oh No!" Hilary shook the bottle of chemicals up as she lamented the fictional character "I hate when they have a cute couple and someone dies"
"I don't, it just means less couple swapping, in soap operas the rate of divorce seems to climb higher every day and I'd never date my best friends ex. And have you ever looked at their weddings? Half the people that attend them are old flames." Millie watched with some trepidation as Hilary began to squirt the chemicals onto her hair "I keep changing my hair colour so much these days I'm worried it'll start to fall out"
"Well that'll give you a totally new look" Hilary laughed at Millie's expression "I'm kidding… but it's easier to put on a wig than change hair colour so… Ok" Millie looked ready to hit her so Hilary stopped holding her hands up in defeat "No more hair loss jokes" running her hands through Millie's long hair and spreading the dye around Hilary smiled at her friend "You don't have to do this you know… I could easily…"
"Be recognised" Millie finished for her "we've been extremely lucky so far that no one has recognised you."
"No, I could…"
"You aren't leaving this room until it's time Hils. We aren't going to risk your grandfather seeing you before he needs to, he'll be keeping a close eye on Jake from now on, besides I've always wanted to see myself as a redhead…. It's weird to think that about a year ago I'd never have even thought about wearing my hair in any style that wasn't two long plaits."
"A lot of things were different a year ago" Hilary muttered unhappily "A lot of things."

"We looked everywhere, if she doesn't want to be found she doesn't want to be found" Tia shrugged, true they had been looking for hours but she wasn't worried, with Hilary back to her old self it was a safe bet that she'd be able to keep out of harms way. "I don't think she's in any trouble… Horatio and Voltaire are still in America, they aren't flying over here for a couple of days until that family thing Jakes hanging around for"
"I feel sorry for Jake having to spend time with his family right now"
"Hey keep your friends close…" Tala trailed off not needing to finish the old adage.
"I don't care if you looked, we need to look again. Hilary has gone somewhere and we need to find her. She's in a delicate condition right now!" Kai's voice sounded more and more desperate as time went on.
"Where else can we look Kai?" Tala asked reasonably "We've searched all the places she normally goes… maybe she's just walking somewhere?"
"I need to find Hilary" Kai said speaking to Tala as though he were mentally deficient
"Kai what's happened?" Tyson gave his friend an inquisitive look "What's gotten you so worked up?"
"I… I screwed up" Kai informed him his face stoic but his voice breaking "Hilary told me… she told me that she shot Boris"
Everyone in the room exchanged shocked looks.
"What?" Spencer asked looking as though his whole world had come crashing down "He's dead?"
"Yeah" Kai nodded "and that's exactly how I felt Spence"
"What do you mean?" Max asked curiously "How did you feel?"
"At the Abbey… Killing Boris was the number one dream, conversation topic, ambition… one week he repeatedly beat up a kid until the kid just couldn't cope… he committed suicide… for so long we discussed ways of making Boris's death long and painful. Now he's dead it's like something's missing"
"Well what did you say to Hilary" Tia asked worried by Kai's expression
"Nothing… I froze up, it was like one of my greatest ambitions had just vanished, she ran and by the time I came to my senses she was long gone."
"You froze up?" Tia shouted accusingly "You Froze?"
"Hey go easy on him" Tala commanded annoyed by the blonde's yelling
"No way! You may have wanted to kill Boris but this is Hilary, she has never wanted to kill anyone, she must be so conflicted right now… by freezing up this idiot probably made Hilary overreact and run… that's why we can't find her, she doesn't want us to! That's why he's so desperate to find her. He's scared of what she'll do, he knows that people often can't cope with the fact that they've killed someone and all the can think of is taking their own life"
"Hilary wouldn't do that" Tyson immediately objected
"No but she may be driven to do something just as bad" Tia said darkly
"Oh God" Julia muttered from her corner "do you think she'd have gone to him?"
"What do you mean?" Kenny turned to Julia looking confused
"I think she would" Tia agreed angrily "Lets list what happened to her, she wakes up not realising what's happened to her, she gets told everything, then she gets taken prisoner and Mariah is taken hostage, she then helps Mariah give birth (which according to Jake and Cheryl was almost life threatening for both mother and baby) and shoots Boris, then when she finally gets to safety her boyfriend is too stupid to comfort her and probably makes her feel like a complete pariah! What would you do?"
"To keep my friends safe?" Julia asked and got a nod in response "I'd go straight to my grandfather and give myself up."
"No" Kai shook his head "she wouldn't, not after all we've been through"
"Are you sure?" Tia asked carefully "Kai, can you honestly tell me that you're sure she wouldn't do that?"

Jake and Cheryl sat in the park watching children run around playing games "Feeling Broody?" Jake teased as Cheryl sighed a little wistfully
"No" the blonde lied but turning to her husband sighed again "Maybe, you've got to admit that it's something we both talked about once"
"Yeah, before the job made our lives so dangerous we were too scared to have any kids."
"I know… just seeing Mariah with her baby made me think…"
"What our kids would be like?"
"A little, have you never thought about it?" she asked nervously
"All the time… I just feel afraid of having daughters"
"There's no way we could have a daughter that would be old enough for Horatio to get to her."
"I know but until recently Boris was around as well, and there's that freak Dr K to worry about."
"I wonder what happened to her?" Cheryl muttered frowning in thought "I've spoken to some people about it and no ones seen her."
"Maybe she legged it?"
Further conversation was stopped as a raven haired woman walked up and sat next to them on the bench. There was a short period of silence then a familiar voice asked "How's Hilary's mother?"
"She's ok" Cheryl didn't turn as she answered the younger woman "Very depressed, when's Hilary going to call her?"
"Soon as possible, she has some unfinished business with her grandfather first."
"What's she planning?"
"Something big… here" a mobile phone was placed on the bench "this has a list of everything we need saved in the text message drafts under shopping. In the same drafts we have an address and the number of a security box where we want the stuff left."
"Millie you can't just cut us out of this!" Jake exclaimed forgetting to keep his voice down for a second
"It's not me that wants to, I tried to persuade Hilary to let you help but all she'll let you do is get her this stuff. Horatio is probably watching you anyway"
"He's not even in the country right now."
"Yeah and he still managed to get Hilary and Mariah kidnapped. What do we know about Dr K?"
"MIA, but she hasn't returned to Horatio or Voltaire yet, I think she's too scared to, Hell I would be if I had to go and tell those two men that I'd failed."
"Yeah, especially with such a good plan, I can't believe what they did to get Hilary under control." Millie paused after this, she hadn't even gotten a chance to see Mariah or the baby after she gave birth "How is Mariah?"
"She's alright, the doctors are keeping her and the kid in for a few days but she'll be fine…" Millie nodded happy at the response, she knew Hilary would want to hear that as well "Millie I need to tell you something" Jake kept his voice low and Millie had to strain to hear him
"What is it?"
"Boris's body disappeared, I know Hilary's sure she killed him but without a body…"
"Please" Millie laughed sardonically "you had a body for Hilary and she still wasn't dead. Bodies don't help you solve anything, if Hils said she killed him then she killed him. If the body's gone it means nothing and proves my point about how your grandfather can pull the strings, even when he's not around."
"I want to know what you two are planning."
"Blunt as ever… and now I'm going, you try to stop me now and Hilary will run, if you try and find out what we're doing after this we'll both run and…, tell whoever that idiot in the bushes over there is, not to follow me. I'll know if he's even a mile behind me."
Jake looked ready to stand up and stop Millie as she rose from her seat on the bench but Cheryl kept a firm hand on his arm. "don't" she murmured in a low voice. Millie gave her a quick smile before standing and walking away.
"I want to make sure Hilary's alright" Jake growled angrily
"I know, but we'll have a better chance of following her once we give her the stuff she needs…. What's on that list of hers?" Jake picked up the phone and began searching through the drafts, after a few seconds he made a shocked noise and shook his head
"no way" Jake hissed angrily "I will not get her this stuff"
"What is it?" Cheryl leaned over and picked up the phone "C4?" She asked stunned by the list "What the hell are these two planning?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out!"
Sorry again that this took so long, I hope to have the next one out sooner but I'm working for a catering company at the moment and there are a lot of xmas functions going on right now.
Please R&R
