Just my Luck

Chapter 3

I'm going to die. I'm going to die. Going to die.

"Hilary!" I heard Kai yell.

"Kai!" I cried choking out water in the process. I struggled trying to keep my head out of the water.

"Hilary! Hold on!"

What do you mean hold on! Jump in the water and save me you oaf! Are you blind or are you just stupid that you didn't realize that I lost my grip a while ago! I let out a gasp as the current grew faster. I squeezed my eyes shut. There is no way that guy can get to me in time! But then… I'm not ready to die yet! I haven't even had my last confession yet! I don't want to go to hell! I cried mentally. I took my last intake of breath as my body went limp without my command. I braced myself for the impact as I felt myself being pulled into a warm embrace.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

My eyes fluttered open. I came in contact with a pair of warm green orbs.

The person smiled, "I see you're awake," He helped me sit up.

My eyes opened wide as I completely took in what was in front of me. A boy about my age was seated before me. He was wearing a beat up old jacket and khaki pants. And… and he looked just like…

"Kai!" I let out as I stood up. I was halted when the boy came in between me and his door. "Get out of my way! I have to find…"

He smiled at me, "You mean the guy you were with when you fell right?" He pointed to the other hut as he opened the door, "He's resting over there,"

I let out a relieved sigh. At least he's okay… I looked around. "Where… where is this?"

"It's my home… its not called anything though, just home," He explained.

I turned to him and held out my hand, "Hey, I'm Hilary Tatibana, what's your name?"

The boy grinned and took my hand, "Its Kinosuke, Kinosuke Sawada,"

I blushed crimson as he led me out his hut, his hand still gripping mine and on to the hut across. He really does look like Kai… I thought as I stared at him. Although he's much kinder and his hair isn't two shades of blue but two shades of yellow. Heheh… I giggled as I was led inside. I felt his hand slip away as he opened the door.

I let out a gasp as I entered the room. Kai was rested on a makeshift bed made of leaves. He had a handful of cuts and a big wound on his head, which was covered tightly with what I would call a leaf bandage (a/n:hihihi…). I slowly went over to him and knelt down.

"K-kai..?" I started.

I heard Kinosuke walk over to me as he put a hand on my shoulder, "He hasn't woken up yet," He spoke in monotone, "He won't hear you,"

I turned my head to face him. "What happened to him?" I questioned.

Kinosuke shook his head, "Well when I found you two down the lake's edge while I was fishing, he already had the wound…" He paused for a moment, "So I guess he hit one of the rocks on the way down,"

I turned my head to look down on Kai. So he was hurt because of me. He got hurt because he tried to protect me… I felt a tear run down my cheek. My hand automatically found its way to my face as I wiped my tears away. Was I? Was I crying just now?

"You care about him, its okay to cry,"

"Well, you should…" He paused again as his eyes narrowed, "After all… he might not wake up…" He finished.

Might not wake up? I bit my lip to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. I shuddered as his hand left my shoulder.

"I'll leave you alone," He whispered as he walked out the door.

The door closed. And then the tears started falling. Why am I crying? Why am I crying? I fought with myself. I trembled as the tears came out uncontrollably.

"Kai…" I whimpered as I reached to touch his face. "Kai…" I repeated again as my hand went down to clutch his shirt. "You have to wake up…" my grip tightened as I sobbed into his chest. "Wake up…" I looked up to his face again, my eyes brimming with more unshed tears. "Please… Kai…" I cried harder as I buried my face in my hands, sobbing quietly.

"You should eat at least," I looked up to find Kinosuke grinning with grilled fish in hand. "Here," He offered.

I shook my head, "N-no thanks, I'm fine,"

His eyebrows furrowed, "It's been three days since you last ate… I think… I insist! You have to eat this!" He commanded as he shoved the grilled fish into my hands.

I smiled for the first time in three days, "Thanks…" I mumbled as I took a small bite.

He took a seat beside me as we stared out his makeshift "porch".

"So, how did you get here?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I got stranded here, and the people found me, nothing much after that," He answered.

I looked around. Why then, were there no people?

"The villagers are on top of that mountain," He pointed to the mountain in front of us. "They all gather there at least once a week,"

"How come?"

He slumped back, "I don't actually know," He turned and grinned at me. I trembled, he cast a worried look at me. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing…" I stuttered as I bit my lip. Not again I don't want to cry again. "It's just…" A tear fell and then another and another, I let out a wail as I threw my arms around Kinosuke.

He stiffened at first and then returned the hug, rubbing my back gently. "It's going to be alright,"

"You remind me so much of him…" I sobbed wetting his shirt, "Your face, your voice… the fish,"

He let out a small chuckle, "I never thought grilled fish would have this much effect on a girl," He grinned at me as he pulled away. I felt his hand wipe away my tears as he spoke, "I believe he will wake up soon,"

I blushed as his hand made contact with my skin. He sure did look like Kai… But a lot nicer and kinder. I continued to stare at him as he smiled at me. The moonlight reflecting his features. My blush deepened as he gazed back at me. I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off.

"…Hey…"

Kinosuke and I turned back around. Both of us bearing a tinge of pink on our cheeks evidence of what may had happened between us if… My train of thoughts was stopped as my eyes widened at what I saw.

"Kai…"
