Just my Luck

Chapter 2

My eyes fluttered open. I sat up. The fire had gone out and I was shivering because of the cold. What person would manage to sleep in this place? I stood up and decided to check up on Kai.

"Kai…?" I call out softly. It was dark and as unbelievable as it can be… I Hilary, am scared of the dark. "Kai..?" I tried again. I continue my walk and slowed down as I made out Kai's bushy gray hair.

"Hey Kai—" I cut myself off. Kai was sleeping. He was actually sleeping. I smirked, some guard, falling asleep like that. My attention went to his wounded leg. I knelt down and frowned at the messy covering he had put up to stop the bleeding. I gently untied it and went to work.

I beamed as I looked up, and I didn't even wake Kai! I'm proud of myself! I mentally congratulated. I reached for the piece of his pants that he used to cover the wound. Oh crud. I averted my gaze to my right. Crud! Where is it! Oh crud! Crud! How could you throw away such an important thing!

I sighed. It was full of blood. I eyed my shirt. "He better not look anything into this," I murmur as I tear a piece of my shirt off. I slowly walked over to Kai and gently tied the pink material around his leg wound. My body jolted up as I felt him stir as I was finishing tying the edges. His eyes fluttered open as I felt myself back away.

"Why are you still awake…?" Kai mumbled. I studied his face, why is he all flushed? He stood up, he's shaky. What's with him this time? "I told you to…" He stopped in his sentence to take a breath. "I told you to sleep didn't I? I don't like…" He paused again, I raised an eyebrow. "…Repeating myself…" He finished as he fell back down.

"Kai!" I cried as I caught him just in time before he hit the cold floor. I stared at him in concern. What's happening this time? Something clicked as I felt his forehead, he was burning! Yep he has a fever. "Were you awake when we were floating our way here?" I interrogated him. Duh Hilary, he had to be awake! My mind defended.

"Yeah… I had to… stay awake…" He managed. I stared at him. It was weird seeing Kai, the Kai Hiwatari all weak and sick. Ah! What am I thinking I've got to warm him up! But how! Think Hilary! Think! Her gaze fell to the excess firewood Kai had collected. She slowly stood up and dragged (Umm… she's strong! mwahaha!) Kai back further inside the cave. She lied him down on a corner and got to work with the fire.

Now how do you start a fire again? Right! She grabbed two sticks. Rub a stick with another stick! Yes I am a girl scout! She hummed as she got to work.

In no time the fire was crackling and was restored to its burning glory. I breathed as I walked towards Kai again and gently pulled him closer to the fire. This is so tiring. I took a seat beside him. This isn't the fantasy I had in mind. I imagined romantic and fluffy moments. Not tiring andnot socomfortable messes.I sighed. I looked over to Kai. He looks cute when he sleeps, especially when he's all flushed like that. I noticed his shivering and felt his forehead. He's still hot, that means the fire isn't doing any good at all. If this keeps up he might not wake up again. No way! I don't want to be stuck in this island all alone! I swallowed. If he needs warmth… The next warm thing to fire available on this island is… body heat! Oh wait…That means… Oh God… that means… I've got to… got to… hug… him. Hug him! For body warmth! Right body warmth! Oh God, please give me the strength to go through with this! I prayed fervently. Oh wait… I get to make him feel better and get a free hug. Hmm… I could live with that.

I swallowed again as I slowly pull himself to me. I wrapped my arms around him in a loose hug. I wish he doesn't wake up! One more…

"What are you doing?" I found myself staring at Kai's orbs.

I tensed up immediately as he stared at me in confusion, "Y-you were shivering in your sleep! And I'm just doing this to warm you up! So don't look anything into this Hiwatari!" I blushed as I looked away.

He smirked a weak smirk as he closed his eyes to rest. "Thanks…" He murmured before he drifted off to sleep.

I felt my blush evolve to a deeper shade of red. Did he just thank me? Wow… an illness really does stuff to a person, I conclude as I felt my eyes starting to close. "Sweet dreams.." I murmur as I followed Kai into the realm of dreams.

-

"Kai… Kai… Kai…?" I heard myself mutter as my eyes slowly fluttering open. I moved my free hand intent to rub my eyes. Wait… free? I raised my right hand. One two three… ten! Why do I have ten fingers? Oh silly me… the other hand must be Kai's… Oh God! What am I doing holding his hand! More importantly what is he doing holding my hand! And what was I doing muttering his name! I felt him stir as my mind went into total panic. W-what if he sees our hands l-like… that! Oh God! I know I'll let him go now! I'll untangle my hand free! As fast as I can!

Too late.

Kai's eyes opened he stared at me as he sat up. I felt him let go of my hand. I stared at him, my mouth hanging open. He raised an eyebrow and spoke up, "Don't you know it's rude to stare at people like that?"

"Uh…" I murmured in disbelief. There I was panicking about the whole "waking up with his and my hand linked together" thing. And he asks a stupid insulting question like nothing of the sort happened? I felt my blood boil. I gritted my teeth and let him have it hard.

He glared at me, rubbing his red cheek, "What the hell was that for!"

"Hmf! You should know!" I turned my back to him and stomped out the cave. "This is why I hate cold hearted bastards! I'm taking a bath!"

Kai sighed, "What the heck did I do?"

-

"Hey…" I heard him whisper. "Hey…" I am ignoring you Kai Hiwatari. I am not going to talk to you. Not a word. Nothing. Nada. No. Zero words for you!

"What?" What the hell! How could you betray me my subconscious mind!

"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked. Handing me a fish on a twig. I turned away from him.

"I'm not hungry,"

"What are you mad about anyway?"

As if you would care, "I'm not mad," I answered calmly.

He smirked. "So why did yourefer tome as a"cold hearted bastard"?"

Oh crud. I forgot about calling him that. "C-cause I wanted to!" I defended.

Kai rolled his eyes as he leaned back to the walls of the cave. "Whatever…" he muttered.

I sighed. I think I'm all cooled up now! I wonder what Takao and the others are doing right now? Must be crying their eyes off thinking we're dead. Come to think of it I've forgotten about all that fiasco since we got here. I wonder if…

"Hey Kai…" I started as I turned around and faced him.

He looked up and smirked, "I thought you weren't talking to me?"

"Am I not talking to you now? Anyway…" I trailed on. "Takao and the guys… do you think they're still looking for us?"

He shrugged, "I don't think so… I think they assume we're dead and must be crying their eyes out somewhere…"

I frowned. "Once again Kai… you've made me feel a lot better," I said sarcastically.

"Hn," He answered as he narrowed his eyes. He took out his bey and started staring at it.

I raised my eyebrows. What is he doing now?

"What do you think about the guys?" Kai asked from out of nowhere.

"You ask what I think of the guys?" I repeated, my eyes a little wide.

"Yes Hilary, I asked you what you think of the guys, now stop acting like a parrot and answer my question," He remarked icily.

I rolled my eyes. Whatever, I thought as I opened my mouth to speak. "Well Takao's noisy and clumsy, he's to stubborn for his own good and I love bossing him around." I finished. "Max is always cheerful but a little childish, all in all he's a great guy… and Rei…" I felt a small tinge of pink rise to my cheeks. "Uhh… he's a nice guy, wouldn't hurt a fly… and well I had a crush on him back then…" I coyly looked up at Kai who was smirking like he had never smirked before. I know that smirk. Oh no… he's going to tell him!

He narrowed his eyes as he looked away. I peered closer. Oh!Do i seea glint of jealousy in his eyes!

"Hn," His face back to its emotionless self.

'Hn!' After letting him know my most deep guarded secret all he could manage to reply was a measly 'hn!'.I felt a vein pop in my temple. He's made me mad yet again! I am so going to kill him after this mess!

"Feh," He stood up. "I'm going to catch our dinner," He walked out the cave leaving me fuming in anger.

-

"Hey Hilary, I got our dinner," Kai announced as he entered their house/cave. He looked around. Where the hell did that girl get to?

"HELP!" Kai's head shot up.

Hedropped the seafood he had sitting in his arms as he turned around and sprinted out of the cave to where the shrieks were coming from.

"Hilary?"

"This is too boring!" I gave out an exasperated breath as I stood up and walked out the cave. "I think I'll go for a swim!" I beamed as I make my way down to the pond.

I think I'm swimming with my clothes on today! I can dry them off later anyway! I jumped into the water. Hey it's cold. Maybe because it rained yesterday! I smiled and let myself be took wherever the current pleased.

That was my mistake.

Hey.. I opened one eye. Why is it so noisy? And is it me or is this current getting a lot faster? I squinted to see what was a few miles before me. Oh crud.

"Waterfall!" I screeched as I frantically swimmed upstream. "KAI!"

"Over here!" I waved my free hand frantically. I tried my best to keep on holding on to a rock.

"Don't worry I'm coming!" I heard him call out to me. Well you better get here fast! My subconscious complained. I felt my fingers slipping. I can't hold on any longer! This is the second time I'm having a near death experience! I winced as a flash of light suddenly blinded my vision. Hey! Look that's me! On my first pony! And oh! Reading my first book! Oh and me winning a race in kinder garden! Oh Oh! My first class in middle school! The first time I met Takao, Kai, Rei and Max! Oh the chief! I smiled widely. Oh wait. I realized what was happening. My life is flashing before me! I panicked. I can't die! Not yet! Please God! We've been through this! Please! I don't want to die yet! Please I'll be good! Cross my heart and hope to uhh… not die! Have mercy! I promise if things don't work out well in my lovelife I'll become a nun I promise! This is all Kai's fault! I'm going to die first because of him! I felt tears fill and then overflow from my eyes.

"Kai! Help….!" My fingers gave up as I slowly let go off the rock.

"Hilary!"
