STUBBORN SHARKFINS
Chapter 6 – Old Feelings, New Feelings.
(Ray's POV :p)
I've seen them, I'm not blind. I can say that I'm happy for him.
But I'd just be lying to myself.
I know they aren't a couple. But I can feel something different.
I would do, as I pretty much know all his moods, the way he acts, his mask.
It's not much of a mask to me, I can see through it.
I feel ashamed of myself; I know I shouldn't be feeling this.
...Jealousy.
I can't help myself. I can barely look at him without feeling a pang of ...
A pang of what?
I don't know. Maybe Guilt. I don't know why I feel guilt.
Might be because I left it for so long. I never gave myself a chance to help him open up to me.
But it's too late now.
He's got...well supposedly he's got her.
He might not know it yet, neither she, but there's an odd connection.
The connection that I wanted with him.
I saw the day when he saved her. Yes. I do watch very closely, not in a stalking way ofcorse.
She was unaware of the fact that he came out shortly afterwards. And I think she must have been unconscious by the time he threw the brooding teen off her, and in return got stabbed in the abdomen by a pocket blade. I think she is really unaware of the dangers our team captain was in, just for her foolish midnight stroll.
But I think he didn't mind. He must have been in a lot of pain too; having to carry her up to the hotel.
But that's the problem, Kai never admits to pain. He never admits to feelings, that ice cold mask stays put, never budging to see what its like to get close to someone.
I've tried to take that mask down. But I let it slip; now I'm just back to where I started, and Hilary has taken over.
I'm not mad at her, not at all; I think it's about time that Kai has taken notice of someone. Yet still, I KNOW for a fact that he's not there yet. I still see that he's not acknowledging her the way that she wants to.
I'm just a little upset, yes I have feelings, and I try to hide them, nearly as well as Kai.
But in this case I can't, I think I've cared for him for too long.
I think I've been watching him, ADMIRING him for too long.
I saw him smile once. It was to himself, he was looking at a photograph, yea, I've seen it. Of him and Dranzer, I know he cares for her, I think she's the only one anyone knows that he cares for. But this smile was pure. It was really beautiful.
He had taken down his protective mask, and he looked so happy.
I must see him today soon, I must speak to him again, I love his voice, so full of emotions that only the true seers can see. I can see, to others it's just a stubborn filled voice. But not me. Or perhaps Hilary.
Like I said, I'm not mad at Hilary, Anything to make Kai happy; he's deserved it for soo long. So I will keep trying. Its not competition. It's just to make him happy, I swear.
~**^**~
Kai was in the training room, lazily watching a disgruntled Tyson battling Max.
''AHAHAHAHAAA! Come on Tyson! Wake up properly! You're getting thrashed even easier than usual!''
''Eh? I'm too tired! Kai! You could have let me get changed first at least!''
Tyson looked down at his Dark green PJ's and PoKèMon slippers.
''Why? It's more amusing this way. And it's a lesson to tell you that when I said 8 o'clock training. I generally mean it'' Kai replied, a small smirk appeared.
They did three more rounds until Ray came in, followed surprisingly by Hilary. They had just met up in the hall way. They were laughing when they came in, cheery smiles on they're faces.
''OOOO Whatchoo laughing at guys?'' Max said as he spotted them.
''Well it's not everyday that you meet someone unexpected in the hallway'' Hilary shrugged, surprised that she found it so funny in the end.
''Yea but the fact that you brought a rack of toast with you too! And I brought a jug of coffee'' Ray also laughed off.
Hilary looked down all of a sudden at his jug of coffee. An even (if possible) bigger smile had appeared on her face. She burst out laughing again.
''I DIDN'T NOTICE YOU BROUGHT THE COFFEE!'' she said, holding her sides.
''How is this funny?'' Tyson mumbled to Max, scratching his head in confusion.
''No idea. Maybe they both have had too much coffee, it's bad to get hyper in the morning ya know'' Max simply replied.
''ye- WHAT? Max you're the most hyper kid I know!''
Max giggled at Tyson's bemused expression and shoved him playingly.
Ray and Hilary now walked in and set the toast and coffee down.
''It's there if you want so- AAHH!''
*splat*
''Tyson Ya big oath! Watch where ya going!'' Hilary pouted, sprawled on the floor.
''Here, lemme help ya up hehehe'' Ray said, giving her a hand.
''I guess you haven't learnt not to offer Tyson food and expect him to be polite about it.'' Ray laughed once more.
''Who's turn is it to blade now?'' Max said coming over.
''How bout you Tyson?''
''mo....feeting...night.....row'' Tyson replied through mouthfuls.
''What he say?''
''no eating right now.'' Ray said lazily, as if he was used to Tyson's food talk.
''Okay, I guess he's out of the question then''
''I will... Kai come battle with me''
At this Hilary jerked her head up. 'Kai's here? Oh no, I never knew! I bet I looked like a right prat....oh no, don't blush! Control it Hilary.'
No answer in Kai's direction. He's been even quieter as usual since that beach trip.
''Kai? Come on, you haven't had a decent fight for a long time, don't want to slip do ya?'' Ray knew this would work.
''Fine, have it your way, the way you deal with your loose, will be up to you'' Kai said, getting up from the stands and walking over to his launching spot.
Ray smiled at Kai ''I'll give it my best''
3....2....1...LET IIIIIIIT RIP!
The blades were off. Both bladers were concentrating; Kai had an emotionless mask on, while Ray's eyes were glistening.
Dranzer took a hit, but then dodged the second and hit back just as powerfully.
The battle lasted for about 8 minutes. By that time Tyson had ate all the toast, baring 2 slices and had came to watch, just in time to see Drigger go to hit Dranzer, but Dranzer counter attacked it and Drigger went surprisingly flying out the dish to land beside Ray's feet.
Kai held out his hand and Dranzer went happily to his hand. He pocketed his blade and went to sit down.
''Slipping am I?''
''Good match Kai, next time I'll get you'' Ray said playingly.
''Hn''
''Well Tyson, I see you left at least SOMETHING for us...who wants a slice? There are only 2 left!'' Hilary said disapprovingly.
''I'll take one!'' Max Chirped.
''I've already eaten'' ray said.
''Kai? You want the last slice?''
''I'd rather not.'' Kai said, somewhat covered in shadows by the stands.
''Okay, fine Mr. sulky-pants.'' And with that she took the last slice.
~**^**~ (Hilary's POV)
Yep..... its official....I think.
Nope. Stop denying it.... I KNOW.
I'm ashamed to admit it, I really am.
I've never felt this way before. My first time.
No-one's made me feel like this before. I never thought it would come this far.
I look over; we are in the lounge, our special privileged hotel lounge. Kai is at the window, looking out over the grounds. Does he do that all the time? Maybe that's how he saw me that night; I had been wondering why all of a sudden he popped up to my rescue.
He looks so peaceful, his hair slightly brushes the window and his eyes are the bright full crimson I knew so well, I bet he smells nice. Really sometimes I cannot help my mind wonder over to the thought of what it would be like to take a running pounce on him and hug him till his eyes bulge.
I laugh at my own thoughts.
He looks over to see me laughing at him. Oh shit.
Great then again I make myself look stupid, suddenly laughing at him doesn't help.
Geez, he must think I'm crackers.
He raises an eyebrow at me. Yup, that confirms it. Now think Hilary, make yourself sound at least half normal.
''uh...sorry, I wasn't laughing at you...I was...'' Why the hell did I stop there!
SPEAK HILARY SPEAK!
Has it all of a sudden got hot in here to you?
I'm having trouble finding my words... it would help if he would stop looking at me like that.
''....I w-was uh... thinking about Tyson''
both eyebrows suddenly rise.
Tyson? Oh great dummie, now he thinks I've got a thing for Tyson.
''About the way he can shovel 3 big porkpies into his mouth and still pronounce half the alphabet, he's such a baka''
YES!
SUCCESS!
He smirked! I think he responds well to taking the piss outta Tyson.
He goes back to staring out the window. Talking to him seems a lot harder than usual. Maybe it's because I –
NO! Shut up! I don't! do I?
...
I do.
My heart jumps into my throat all of a sudden. And I feel light headed. Oh god. I'm blushing, my cheeks feel red, I can feel the heat radiating off them, don't look Kai pleeeease don't look! My feet shuffle a bit.
Just my luck.
He turns his head towards me.
Good going Hilary.
''Is it hot in here?'' I dumbly mumble out.
''Not at all, Hilary, Why are you blushing?'' He doesn't seem concerned. Just a little amused. Finds it funny does he?
''I-I'm not blushing!''
''come off it Hilary, I can see your cheeks from here''
Beat around the bush why don't cha.
''What's it to you anyway?''
''Nothing really, I just find it amusing to see that you were blushing, after telling me that you were thinking of TYSON'' he emphasised.
''I'm not crushing on him if that's what you mean, I like someone else...''
Why oh WHY did I just tell him that.
''Oh?'' he put on a bored expression, but somehow I can tell he was kinda curious. Kinda being the word.
''Forget about it''
''Already forgotten''
Phew! Glad we got that over and done with, I'm an idiot, gotta be more careful of what I spill.
''Well, I bet that you like some one! Mr Sensitive!''
Oops, I'm in trouble for my mouth's moves.
Damned mouth.
''Excuse me? Since when does this involve MY personal life? I'm not the one blushing.''
''Hmph! Fine! I'm going to bed! G'night Kai!''
''Tell Lover boy Tyson I Said Hi'' His voice was dripping with sarcasm.
''I don't fancy Tyson! I-I fancy-''
STOOOOOOOOOP!
What am I doing? He'd laugh at me! He'd be mad? I dunno just stop!
''...Forget it, seeya''
*To Be Continued!*
UMMM, Hilary cant control her mouth in this one. Confessions were soo close. Shame. Lol urgh, well I hope I updated quick enough, and I hope the length of this is more satisfying than the last. Please please please don't forget to read and review! It helps me! Lol I get encouraged and go on a writing frenzy. So please R+R! wooo! Until next time then?
I suppose I best do another disclaimer 'pouts' as I haven't for a long time.
