Chibi-Kari: It's raining it's pouring, I have a sore throat and I have to read the

book Night by Wednesday!

Max: Dude, Chibi-Kari, that's about 100 pages and it's already Monday

afternoon!

Chibi-Kari: Well it's not my fault that the teacher told us today after the test that

we had to have the book read by Wednesday and I'm sick and I have classes all

tonight and Grrrrrhhh!

Max: Good luck...anyways she doesn't own cause then she would wait till the

last minute to get the show done.

Chibi-Kari: I do not so just be quiet... Now on to what the fic pertains to...I

actually was going to make this chapter a little later on but the question of

why she reacted this way instigated it! Enjoy!

Max: On with the fic...

Years Ago

Chapter 7-Reactions and Reflections

The Kitchen

Hilary sat motionless slumped to the ground, the wall pressing menacingly

against her skin. She could hear Kailee's squeals of glee coming from the living

room. Hilary knew what 'Uncle Tala' had gotten her. It was a beyblade. Hilary

was quiet upset when she had gotten the phone call.

Flashback-Phone Call With Tala

"Yeah everything is so hectic. I never thought that a wedding would be this much

to handle. I can't wait to see you again, Tala." Hilary's voice rang out through

the receiver as a red head sat and stared at the wall in his training room.

"You just want me to take Kailee off your hands for an hour or two." He said with

a laugh.

"Well you are so good with her. You can't blame me can you. That girl is like a

demon-child, constantly running and hurting people." Her voice laughed back.

"Well what can you say, I put up with Kai all those years. It's almost the same."

He stopped realizing what he said. Even after five years he knew that she still

wasn't over Kai's death. The silence hung in the air, for what seemed like

eternity. To break it he decided to change the subject, "I got her a present."

"Oh what did you get her?"

"A little silver and pink beyblade with a matching launcher."

"No." Was the simple answer that came across the phone.

"Hilary, it's a part of your life and your daughter's no matter how much you want

to deny it and I won't take no for an answer. It's just like she needs to know

about her real father." Tala said sighing and shaking his head allowing his red

hair to graze his forehead.

End of Flashback

Beyblading was what she blamed everything on. If she had never met the

bladebreakers she would have never had any of her problems and the only

reason she met them was because she had a admiration for beybladers. The

game that they were going to play when their plane went down, was the same

game Tala was teaching Kailee in the other room.

Tala was right about one thing. She should have told Kailee about Kai,

but then that would mean reliving a part of her life, the part that died with them on

that fateful day.

Her head shook slowly. She wasn't really mad at Kai. She was upset that

he left her after he promised he never would. She had to except his death, now

she couldn't bring herself to except his life. When he died everything she knew

was gone and everything changed. Love, was striped from her and left her

alone. Just when she thought she had reached the bottom she met Robert, that

day when she ran from Mr. Dickenson's office. He was the only thing that truly

brought her back, he was the most supportive. That's why she gave her love to

him. Hilary was madder at herself. She had broken the promise that she had

made to Kai, but what could he expect. He left her with a child for five years, of

course he didn't know, and didn't want her to move on. She had to move on for

her sake and Kailee's.

Now here she was stuck in a similar predicament to her first. She finally

moved on and found love again. Right when her old love came back, the same

old love who had left her with a child. Her life was finally perfect again, but Hilary

was cursed to have a teasing life. She was happy for once. Her daughter was

growing up beautifully. Her friends were always around. She was getting

married in two weeks and she was once again pregnant.

Chibi-Kari: Well there is the answer to why she was sooooo upset. Anyways,

this is going to be a Kai/Hil. I was hoping that maybe we could all work together

and break Investigations review record of 105, with this chapter.

Max: Hilary needs to stop sleeping around.

Chibi-Kari: Speaking of which...I do not condone premarital sex! Also, I'm

thinking of starting a Rei/Hil entitled 'Relationships Suck!' what do you all

think?

Max: Review!
