Hope: Okay, so due to the other chapter's conversation, the Bladebreakers were sorta in trouble.

Hillary: Yea. But due to a plea of a reviewer, the guys got away. But only, this one time.

Hope: I agreee. Also, the Bladebreakers have fainted anyways, so we could'nt due anything to them.

Hillary: As a matter of fact, they're sleeping right now!

Tyson: Morning girls.

Rei: Yea,

Max: You guys have a good rest.

Kenny: SNORes

Kai: Hey aren't you gonna tell them about-

Hope/Hillary: NO! Just keep it a secret okay?

Kai: ...

Hope: Besides... This chapter is full of enough surprises for them in one chapter.

Hillary: Like What?

Hope: DO the disclaimer, and find out.

Max: Hope doesn't own anything! So, can we read the story now?

Hope: Sure.

Chapter 4:

Our Marks...

"And the fifth one- is me"

The door slid closed and Hillary stepped off the wooden platform. Her ruby/chocolate brown eyes searched the surrounding area for Kai. The sun shone brightly, so she covered her eyes with her hand. At last she spotted the great blader.

"KAI! WAIT UP!" Hillary shrieked as she began to jog up to him. Kai stopped walking, and turned around. This made Hillary stop instantly, and hold her breath. Kai's eyes were sad looking, and for once, he didn't have that emotionless mask on his face. Hillary looked at him in wonder.

"What?" Kai asked. He crossed his arms across his chest. Hillary mentally kicked herself, and began to walk up to him. She too, crossed her arms across her chest. Kai raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

"I- um... Kai, are you mad?" Hillary asked. Apparently, Kai was caught off guard by this question. Uncrossing his arms, letting them fall limply to his side, he actually looked surprised. In an effort to hide his surprise, he grunted.

"What do you care?" His voice was cold, and he sneered. Rolling her eyes, Hillary just sighed. Kai frowned at this. Surely, he thought, she was gonna yell at me or something.

"Kai. Are you mad-because Tala came here?" Kai stiffened by her question, and turned around. He crossed his arms against his chest again. Looking up at the sky, he said nothing. They stood there for sometime, until the sky darkened, and night fell. When the stars came out Kai said,

"Yes."

Reaching out to touch him, Hillary raised a hand and rested it on his shoulder. Her other hand was clasped against her chest, closely to her heart. Kai didn't stiffen, but relaxed. Sighing, he turned around and gazed into her eyes.

' Why is her looking at me like this?' Hillary thought. Poor Hillary found herself trapped under his gaze. Kai's hands slowly circled her waist, as if trying to fight something within. Hillary brought her arms around his neck. They both leaned in closer and closer until-

"HILLARY! KAI! WHERE ARRE YOU?" A confused voice filled the air.

Kai groaned and Hillary sighed. Pulling away from each other they turned around to see Max looking for them both. Max didn't notice what his teammates were about to do, so he didn't really say anything.

"Chief wants to talk with all of us guys." Max said.

"Why?" Hillary asked. Max just shrugged. Hillary began to follow him when Kai grabbed her arm, stopping her. Even though he didn't say anything Hillary understood him. ' We need to talk later.' His gaze seemed to say. She nodded and turned towards the door. Kai followed in after her.

"Okay, now that you two are here, the questions will begin." Kenny glanced up from his laptop. Rei did some serious thinking while Hillary was gone, so he was the first to ask questions. He stared at Hillary while she sat down next to Kai.

Thus Rei earned a glare from Kai and Tyson for staring at Hillary while; Kai got a glare from both Rei and Tyson for sitting next to Hillary. And Tyson just received a glare form both of them, for glaring at both of them.

Rei then ignored the other two who liked Hillary, and focused his attention on her.

"Hillary, how do you know if you're one of them?" Kai's eyebrows shot up and turned towards Hillary. 'HUH?' He seemed to say.

"You mean he doesn't know?" Max asked. While sitting cross-legged, Maxie scratched his head.

Hillary and Kai both nodded. Thus, once again Kai received glares from his buddies.

"Hm. I wonder what you two were doing out there for so long, IF YOU WEREN'T FILLLING KAI IN ON WHAT HE MISSED, HILLARY!" Dizzy said loudly.

Hillary turned pink around the ears and blushed. It took Kai a while to figure out what Dizzy meant. When he finally did figure out, he blushed lightly and glanced down.

"Aww. Is the famous loner blushing?" Dizzy questioned. Dizzy was getting a kick out of this.

"DIZZY!" Kenny scolded. He glanced at his teammates and blushed too. "Sorry." He mumbled.

Max noticed Kai's blush and was about to ask him something when Hillary interrupted.

"Um... Nothing happened. We were just talking about Tala." She said coolly. Turning her back on Kai, she said absent mindedly,

"The five chosen guys, are you. And the other five are people whom you know, and possibly care about. And, I am one of those other five."

Kai nodded.

Sighing, Hillary continued to answer Rei's question.

"I know that I am one because, of my trait. The five girls have a significant birthmark that signals an original trait about them. While I was growing up, there were people always there for me. Protecting me as if I were very important. Little did I know then, that I was."

Hillary paused for a second and leaned back. Since she was sitting on the wooden floor, HARD, cold wood met her back. Closing her eyes, she spoke again.

"On my neck, there is a rose birthmark. It stands for hope. Hope is my trait." Hillary opened her eyes to find that everyone was gathered around her looking at her neck.

Slightly bugged, and surprised, Hillary was freaked out for half a second. When she finally came to her senses, she slapped all of their faces. A moment later, the Bladebreakers were all rubbing their faces, still ringing with stinging pain.

Shooting them all an icy glare, (they all winced) Hillary continued once again. Turning towards Max,

"Maxie, do you have some sort of mark on your left wrist? Shaped something like three bonded rings?"

Max shrugged and looked at his wrist. He nodded, not really understanding.

"Max, you have the sign of friendship. It means you will always stick by your friends no matter what. And so far, you have proven worthy of it."

Max smiled at Hillary, and whistled. "Wow! I never knew that. I always thought that this was just a bruise or something. Mom and Dad only said it was a birthmark."

Hillary grinned and rolled her eyes at Max. Turning her attention to Rei,

"Rei, you have a mark on your right wrist. It is the mark of Wisdom. It looks something like a feather. It gives you the title of having complete, understanding of all things. You also have the title of balancing all.

Rei shrugged, and glanced at his wrist briefly before nodding.

"The elder villagers just said that I had a sickness when I was little. And that this is a scar."

Hillary smiled a bit, and turned to Kenny. Kenny took of his glasses and polished them.

"Kenny, you may not think you belong with us, but you do. On your right leg, is a cut-shaped scar. This mark is saying that you contain the mark of Loyalty. The cut symbolizes that whatever someone goes through, you stay by their side, and go through it too."

Hillary grinned at a blushing Kenny. "Thanks for letting me know that." He whispered.

Hillary shook her head, and turned her eyes on Tyson.

"Tyce, you got a Shield looking scar on your left leg. That means you have Courage." Hillary said nothing more. Everyone knew how brave Tyson was in any matter. She didn't need to explain. Soon she caught herself staring at him, with him staring back at her. Hillary blushed madly, when Tyson smiled at her.

Kai and Rei both noticed this. They weren't very happy, but they didn't say anything. At last, Rei coughed so that Hillary would stop looking at Tyson. Finally, she turned her attention to Kai.

"Kai. On your chest, there is a unique symbol that no one else can ever possess. The tear shaped mark, signifies that you are a leader in this group. You are Trust. Ironic isn't it?"

Hillary grinned hopefully, trying to sound confident. Kai smirked a little, understanding Hillary's attempts. But suddenly, she frowned. Remembering something, Hillary gasped. She stood up and ran to the far side of the room, trying to get as far as possible away from Kai.

"What's wrong?" Kai stood up too, he looked concerned. Just then Hillary shed one single tear.

"Kai- I am also a leader. The other fives' leader. Do you know what that means?" Hillary hiccupped.

Kai shook his head. Then he stopped. Wait a minute didn't that mean? Rei understood faster though.

"NO FUCKING WAY!"

Hope: Guess Rei's a little jealous.

Hillary: Yep.

Rei: Let me repeat, NO FUCKING WAY!

Kai: smirks Too bad. Loser.

Tyson: I'm with Rei, NO FUCKING WAY!

Hope: Why not?

Hillary: Yeah, why not? blushes at mistake

Max: grins Sooo. You like Kai then?

Rei/Tyson: NO!!!

Hillary: maybe?

Kai: SHOCKED ALLRIGHT!

Hope: Finally, she admits it.

Kenny: snores

Rightttt.
