HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS!
35 reviews already?! Thanks sooo much!
I think this chapter's a little short, and there's a Kai/Hil moment at the end. Hopefully it's not too corny hehe anyway, enjoy!
Hilary opened her ruby eyes to see a figure laying in front of her, slate bangs covering the eyes. She smiled and sat up, instantly awaking the person next to her. He sat up, the sheets pooling low around his waist as he yawned.
"Morning." He said, smiling at the brunette. He leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss.
Hilary ran her fingers through his blue hair as his arms slid around her, pulling her closer to his bare chest.
After a few moments, the two parted for air.
"Why don't you get ready for the day?" He asked.
Hilary nodded and headed off to the bathroom.
After about 30 minutes, she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, to see Kai setting a bowl of her favorite ice cream on the table.
She blushed slightly, seeing that he was still topless. She stared at his well sculpted chest, trailing every line and indentation down to his waist, where a pair of baggy jeans hung loose.
"Oh crap! I forgot to do my homework!" She exclaimed, suddenly remembering about it.
"Don't worry Hil....I already did it for you." Kai handed her a stack of books.
She looked through the assignments, every question, plus the extra credit answered correctly, not an error in sight!
She gasped and looked up at the older teen just as he pulled her in a tight hug.
"Hilary?" He asked.
"Yeah?"
"Hilary........."
"Hilary, wake up!"
The brunette moaned as her body was being shaken. She opened her ruby eyes slightly to see a blurry image in front of her.
"Oh Kai...." She moaned.
"Kai?" The figure burst out in laughter, causing Hilary to snap into reality.
Her sister was rolling on the floor, laughing her head off. Hilary blushed. It was all a dream! She felt her face heat up in embarrassment as her sister was able to control her laughter.
Hilary checked her watch. It was only 6 in the evening. She must have fallen asleep.
"What do you want anyway?!" She demanded.
"Kai's gone." Her sister said quickly.
"What?!"
"He's gone! I can't find him anywhere!"
Hilary jumped up and rushed downstairs, looking behind every door for their injured guest. She finally noticed something on the table next to the front door. It was a piece of paper, neatly folded with her and her sister's names on it.
The brunette picked it up and unfolded it, another rectangular piece of paper falling out.
Hilary and Lena,
I'm sorry, but I must go now. I have a strange feeling inside that tells me if I stay, I would be putting you in danger.
Thank you for everything you have done, I hope that the check I left is enough compensation for your time.
Don't come looking for me. I don't wish to burden you any longer.
Goodbye, and thanks again.
Kai
Hilary looked at the second piece of paper that had fallen.
"FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!" Her heart nearly stopped.
This guy was loaded! He was going to give an almost complete stranger that much money!
"I have to find him!" She turned and rushed out the door, leaving the note behind for her sister to find.
How far could he have gotten? His leg was injured pretty badly, along with everything else. She continued to run through the town, looking desperately in every direction. "Where could he be?!" She asked herself, worry building up in her heart.
"The beach! I'll try the beach! Hopefully he went there!" She thought to herself as she passed through the local park without any luck.
After a few minutes, she came to the beach. She ran down the grassy hill and onto the sand, almost colliding with a figure as it moved out from under the bridge.
"Hil....Hilary?" The brunette looked up, and immediately picked herself off the sand.
"Kai!" She exclaimed, not believing her eyes.
She threw her arms around him gently, careful not to hurt him.
"Didn't you get the letter? I didn't want you looking for me. Oh! I know! You want more money, that's it." He reached to his back pocket to pull out his wallet, but Hilary stopped him.
"For that much money.....you would think you were staying......at an expensive hotel for a month!" She gave him a warm smile, trying to catch her breath from all the running.
Kai looked at her with confusion.
She chuckled slightly and took out the check, ripping it into tiny pieces and letting the wind carry them away.
"Nothing in this world comes without a price..." Kai started.
"Where did you learn that? Is it so hard to believe that people might just want to help out of the kindness of their hearts?!"
Kai gaze fell to the ground.
"Kindness....is this what it's like?" He asked softly.
Hilary jumped slightly. "Hasn't anyone been kind to you? Did you a favor? Gave you a present?"
Kai's crimson eyes stared at her in bewilderment, like he didn't know what any of those words were.
The brunette could see all the sadness in his eyes, and it was pulling at her heart.
"I....I don't know...." He replied after a moment.
It just hit her. Something terrible had happened to him in the past, and his memory of it had been wiped out....but what could have happened to him that was so terrible to do this?
Kai felt her draw closer to him, and her arms slipped around his chest.
"Please don't go Kai...." She said into his torn shirt, tears forming in her eyes. "Please, you promised you would stay until you were better...."
"But I can't risk your safety......I don't want anyone being hurt because of me."
"You're no danger to us Kai. You're safe now..." She looked up at him with watery eyes. "And you don't have any place to go. You're welcome to stay with us as long as you like." She smiled at him.
"I....I don't know...."
"But you promised me!" She gave him a pouty face, causing Kai to sigh.
For some reason, he couldn't say no to this girl.
"Alright......" He said softly.
A big grin formed on Hilary's face and she pulled away from him.
"Come on, let's go back."
don't forget to review!
The reunion of the BladeBreakers and Kai is next chapter, and it's long...at least I think Ja ne!
