High School Rivals
Authors note: I have not been motivated to do this story anymore. I'm sorry, I felt that this story had gone sour. I haven't put forth the effort for the plot that I wanted. So I'm ending it, maybe temporally or permanently, who knows. The ending was rushed. The story is crap. My bad.

The Final Chapter
Chapter 21:
"Do you need something?" she asked as she started scrubbing a pot.
"Drink." he stated simply and walked over to the fridge and pulled out a sprite. Opening it, he took a sip and walked on the other side to lean on the counter that was connected to the sink. They're now face to face.
"Need help?" he offered uncharacteristically. He had on a white semi-tight tee and black jeans.
"You and dishes? The world must be ending." she said sarcastically.
"Fine, suit yourself." he said and shrugged carelessly. He stood there as she slaved herself with dishes!
"Hiwatari, get over here and help!" she snarled and pouted at him. He smirked, placed his soda down, and went over beside her. He started to rinse and placed them in the drainer. They worked in silence and were soon finished.
"Thanks." Destiny as she made her way towards the set of stairs.
"Where're you goin? You're not going to watch the movie?" Kai asked curiously as he followed her.
"Nah, it's almost sunset." was her simple reply as she kept climbing the stairs.
"Yea so?" Kai asked distractedly as he watched her hips sway.
Destiny smiled at what was to come, and in a soft voice she said, "just wait and see." Something in her facial expression made him follow her. It was so serene…she was truly at peace in her home. Her long black hair was in a high pony tail that swayed at she continued to climb the stairs. She wore a pair of simple gray sweat pants and a white tank top. He didn't know what he was feeling, he just wanted to be close to her.
Going to the third floor, she led Kai to a room on the other side of the house and into a room that seemed like a game room, with a pool table and some arcade games. Going over to a set of windows, Destiny opened them and climbed out and on to the roof. Kai followed her without question. They settled down beside each other, waiting for the sun to slowly set. They sat in silence, just simply waiting…
"Why are you here?" she asked, just to fill the silence, it was driving her nuts.
He remained unfazed and replied in a smooth voice, "I wanna see what's so good about this sunset." His voice held a deep kind of sensual tone, it caused a shutter to run down her spine.
"Are you cold?" he asked all of a sudden, slightly startling the violet eyed girl. The nights were getting colder and colder as winter was right around the corner.
"Yeah, a little bit I guess." This was too weird. They were having a normal conversation. 'I guess the world is ending soon,' she thought. 'huh? There are arms around me!' she thought alarmed.
"Hiwatari, what are you doing!" she shouted as she narrowed her orbs up at him. He had moved behind her and sat with one leg on either side of her hips, allowing her to lay back into his chest.
"You were cold." Was his simple answer and she felt him tighten his strong arms that went on top of her arms she had folded across her chest.
"You're so small." he added in randomly as he looked down at the petite girl in his arms. He felt a smile tug its way to his lips. He felt alive yet peaceful inside. This felt right to him.
"Shut up, you're just too big." She countered as she let her head fall back on his shoulder. Why was she letting this happen? Why isn't she? Why deny yourself something that you want?
"If you look at the world that way, then everything's 'too big.'" his voice was low and casual.
"Yup, I get everything I want super-sized." she smirked at him, and unconsciously laced her fingers with his.
"What is it that you want then?" he asked as he looked down at her. He felt her shrug carelessly. He wasn't going to get an answer from her, he thought. "You know what I want?" he started. She looked up at him with shocked eyes; he could read them like a book. They said; why are you telling me? There was uncertainty in her eyes and a dash was want. He was sure in his crimson eyes, she could see the same.
"What do you want?" she asked quietly.
"A lot of things, I want to finish high school and go to University. Becoming a good CEO of my grandfathers company that had been in-trusted to me." He said as he looked up to the sky.
"I want to be a lawyer of criminal justice." she added in as they shared a smile together.
"You would be a good lawyer, you certainly have a fast mouth." he teased her lightly. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"What else do you want?" she asked curiously.
"Hmm…a family…I really big family." He lowered his head down to the crook of her neck and rested there.
"You and kids? Seriously?" she asked shocked, but he knew she was just joking.
"Yeah, what about you?" he asked.
"I think that's what I wanted all along. Family." There was a long silence. They just sat there together, not knowing where to take this next.
Kai was about to say something else but Destiny beat him to it. "You know about what happened to me in the past right? Fabling City and my family."
He didn't know what to say, he could lie and say no, but it didn't feel right to lie to her right now. "Yea I know what happened on the surface."
He felt her nod. "I won't go into it then but that's all I really wanted. Family, I guess." He tightened his hold on her. Then and there. He vowed to himself that he wanted this girl, and would protect her. A Hiwatari's promise is one of the most solid ones.
"Look, the sun set." He said as the sun slowly lowered down to the horizon. The sight was truly breathtaking.
"Look at the sun set and stop staring at me Kai." She jabbed him with her elbow.
1 Year later…
Deadly Blades.
New Breeds…
…have dismantled.
They went to different Universities. They left the gang life behind. Not without a struggle though, but with the help of Quan, who had waken up miraculously, all was cleared off. Quan had disowned his parents, moved down with Destiny and took along with him the family business. Even though everyone is every where, trying to find their place in the world. Every summer and winter break, everyone would be down at Robert's manor, which have become everyone's home, and catch up with each other's lives. They know that they have a place to return to. This was their family. This is what everyone wanted in the beginning.
This was home.
