Stubborn Sharkfins – Depth of Minds
Hilary woke up with a start. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, while yawning. Still feeling tired, she tumbled out of her bed and into her room's bathroom. She felt the plush pink carpet under her toes while she began brushing her teeth.
After she had gotten dressed in her usual attire, Hilary made her bed and then trudged slowly out of her room and into the kitchen. Looking around she saw that someone else was in the kitchen too. There looked like there were about three people eating, but Hilary could only hear one.
She looked around the kitchen to see where the soft humming and rustling could be heard. She stopped and smiled when she saw a wave of midnight blue softly swaying, and to top it off the same old red, white and blue cap to join the appearance.
Tyson.
Hilary smiled to herself as she walked up to the boy who was crouched down onto his knees, with his face buried into the cupboard.
"hmmm hmm hmmmm, Guh, where IS it. Awwwww, why can't a guy just find his coco-pops without any probl— "
"Hey Tyson"
"AHhh!" Thunk. Hilary dismissed the whine of complaint, and joined Tyson on the floor. Still clutching his head in pain, Tyson looked up to Hilary with a scowl. She just smiled innocently up to him. Remembering what happened yesterday, Tyson gulped and suddenly jumped up and backed away until he got stopped by the kitchen side.
"Hilary, I didn't mean to get you... I-I... you were just there and...I... ugh....Don't hurt me?" He offered.
Hilary looked up at Tyson with a confused look on her face. What was that boy going on about? If Max had been feeding him any more of th—
Wait a minute. Hilary tried to remember her dream. She remembered seeing Tyson run off with a menacing grin on his face, with Max!
But then... why was Tyson saying sorry to her now, if it had only been a dream?
Closing her eyes, she tried to remember more, she definitely remembered the last bit, and it was imprinted clearly in her mind. The Rain, the bench, the moonlight. The near kiss. Kai.
With a goofy grin on her face, and a sweeping blush, she tried to remember the things before that. Kai telling her his problems, Kai opening up to her. The feeling she had was indescribable.
She remembered so clearly the feeling of joy that she was earning Kai's trust...
...And then the worst feeling in the world at the same time, as she learnt why it was that Kai couldn't trust. It was so clear. The pain in his eyes shone so clearly.
But that was just a dream right?...Right?
"Tyson, what are you on about?" There must be a logical explanation to this goof's mumblings.
"You- you don't remember?" Tyson had a glint of wondrous hope in his eyes.
"Remember WHAT!?!?" Why won't he just tell her? Tyson is such a stup—
"Nothing, nothing! Ahh look...erm, we must have ru-run out of coco-pops, never mind, um....Bye" He dashed for the door, and was away before Hilary had a chance to notice he had disappeared.
Was it all really a dream? It all seems like it happened, but that's impossible. Kai and me nearly kissing? It must be a dream!...he wouldn't want me...
She had to know. She was just about to dash out the room in hot pursuit of Tyson, when someone grabbed her arm.
She looked up into two golden orbs. Ah, Ray was awake too it seemed. He didn't look like he was in any good mood either. Strange.
Shrugging it off, Hilary just waited for Ray to say something. But he didn't. Instead, he just gazed into her eyes, as if looking for some sort of answer. He had a frown on his face, and he looked tired.
His normal gracious locks of raven hair had lost its' shine, and his clothes were somewhat crumbled. Sleep much?
Hilary, feeling agitated under his stare, was growing impatient. What, did she miss a spot while cleaning her face or something? Although Ray really couldn't complain if he was prepared to walk around like that!
He gave her one more piercing gaze, then let out a sigh. He rubbed his hand across his forehead in a feeble attempt to think better.
"You really don't remember, do you?"
"Know what?!"
"You can't remember anything? Not even Tyson and Max's prank, the.....the kiss you and Kai nearly had?" Ray said that with a little bite in his voice. He closed his eyes and swallowed.
Re-opening them, he looked back at Hilary.
Hilary was shocked. She had just realised that the whole 'dream' was real. The moment she had with Kai was real? She gulped and then her mouth fell open as all the moments, all the things that he had said, or done, came rushing back in.
Ray who had been watching her saw how a sudden blush crept up onto her cheeks. He looked away out of the window for a moment. He had really lost the chance.
He knew it now.
He had really cared for Kai and had never acted upon it to tell Kai how he really felt. Yes, he had told himself that he had feelings for Kai a long time ago, and still has, but now...
Now Hilary had too. Hilary had fallen for their stoic team captain. As well as him.
Ray could tell himself that Kai would like him back, as he had known him longer. Ray had always been there for him, stuck up for him if Kai never did so. He had kept Tyson and Max out of Kai's way whenever he sensed Kai needed the time alone.
He had always been the one that Kai could stand the most, the one to have chats to Kai late at night before they went to bed. But now....
Now Kai had Hilary. There was no need for Ray anymore. Kai could be happy.
Ray saw how Kai had leaned into that kiss yesterday night. How he too, had also nearly kissed Hilary. He felt the rage inside him burn so hot that it felt like his chest would explode. He had kept it all bottled up inside though.
Kai looked happy in those fleeting seconds.
And that's all that Ray had ever really wanted. For Kai to be happy.
He smiled as he ruffled Hilary's hair. If she was the one who could bring him the happiness, then so be it.
"Hilary, make him happy. He deserves it, now, go speak to him." Ray beamed down at her then left as silently as he came. He was going to train.
Hilary stood there baffled. What was THAT about? Oh well, Ray was right... She needed to speak to Kai.
Tyson was still running away from Hilary, he was going to take no chances. If she DID remember the prank, then he knew he was pooped.
Hilary was a vicious girl when it came to Tyson, he had scrapes and bruises from many encounters with the girl. Nice and innocent? Pfffft, yea RIGHT!
If he ran into Kai though.... Tyson shuddered at the thought. He SERIOUSLY didn't want to know where or what that cold maniac was plotting. All he knew was that he couldn't get caught. He just couldn't.
With a brave face, Tyson put on a cheesy smile and puffed out his chest. After all, who could catch Super Tyson and his comrade Maxie?
Not the shark. Not at all.
Tyson, although very cunning and clever, thought he, had to go to the extreme measures of hiding. All he had to do is find Max.
Scanning the corridors, he looked over at the training gym right at the bottom. He started jogging towards it. Just as he opened the doors, he caught site of the yellow mop of locks.
There he is!
Swinging the doors open, Tyson was just about to run over to Max, when he saw the big problem.
Max, whose innocent blue eyes shone from all the way over the other side of the court, was hanging upside down. He had been tied up by his feet, and was attached by some rope to one of the basketball hoops. He was gagged, but still mumbling.
Tyson's eyes shone pure horror.
He jogged over to Max, while glancing over his shoulder. Finding that it appeared to be clear, he touched Max's shoulder.
"Hey buddy, why you up there?" Max pointed his head towards his pants. Just tucked into the rim of his trousers was a note. In pure red letters it said the name Tyson really didn't want to see.
It was addressed to him.
Taking it with a shaky hand he ripped it open and read it aloud to Max.
'Tyson, watch your back. Revenge is very sweet, wouldn't you agree?'
It hadn't been signed, but by one last glance of Max's eyes, Tyson knew exactly who did this.
Kai.
Tyson immediately paled. Kai knew. Kai knew who did the prank to him, and he was NOT happy.
Hoshit, he was dead.
Forgetting Max, he started running for his life. He was nearly out the door when Max shouted through his gag, Tyson turned hurriedly and ran back to untie him.
Max fell to the floor and ripped the gag from his mouth. Max sat up and whined, he rubbed his elbow, and then his wrists. He looked up at Tyson angrily.
"Tyson! You were going to leave me to die!!!"
"No I wasn't bud, I was just checking if the coast was clear."
"Tyson, you should have seen him! He had a glint of madness in his eyes! He looked like he was going to enjoy hunting us down and killing us slowly, I'm scared Ty!" Max shivered involuntarily.
Tyson slung an arm around Max and pulled him close to his side. "Don't worry Maxie, we can go hide" They started of.
After 20 minutes of looking, they ended up hiding under the pools table in the entertainment lounge. "Here we go, he can't find us under all this fag smoke and people" It was true, the room was so crowded of 40 year old men puffing on their fags and guzzling their beer that the room was clouded.
Yes, it was only about 12 o'clock. Bunch of drunks.
Coughing away the boys remained there for a very long time.
High upon the rooftops, a young brooding teen sat looking over the horizon. The wind sweeping his soft locks across his face gently. His clothes ruffled against his limbs. Wind swept leaves flew around him, dancing on the floor of the rooftop, with the wind to lead them.
The boy shivered involuntarily, ignoring it he gazed at the forest below, to the other hotels and shops further away in the distance.
The sun shone on his pale face, the blue triangles on his face giving an odd gleam against the rays of the sun. He let out a sigh as he brought up his arm to rest against his knee which was propped up.
Kai was thinking of what had happened the night before. He let the memories play in his head like an old movie. The emotions still fresh.
How could he have let himself slip like that? He had nearly kissed the girl!
...Something he did not intend to do.
His mission was to seek advice, not a makeout session. He ran his hand through his thick grey locks. He couldn't let that happen again, he wasn't designed to love, how could he after all these years?
Hilary was quite a remarkable girl. Kai had been training all his life to squash every unwanted emotion away, Kai Hiwatari didn't care, he didn't want to know, and he certainly didn't love.
Until Hilary came along that was. Kai couldn't think straight. Coming up onto the rooftops usually allowed good space and time to think about his problems. But his mind just was as confused as before.
How could she come along and change everything so suddenly? Kai furrowed his head into his knees. He had told her everything. All the things he had felt for so long, he had spoken them all so easily to her. It felt right to do so...Yes.
It felt right.
Kai closed his crimson eyes and frowned. It was too late now. He must have scared her off. After listening to him drone on, she must have realised that he was nothing special and gave up on him. Like everyone else had.
Sighing he got up and stretched. He took one long last look at the horizon before he headed for the door that lead back into the hotel. He decided to put it all behind him, to pretend it never happened, if he could do it once, then he could do it again.
Oh well, He still had his fun with Tyson to deal with.
He had left the little weaklings to run around in squeal in terror for long enough. Now it was his turn to play the prank. His turn for the revenge. No one messes with Kai Hiwatari.
...And soon, Tyson would know that.
