Chapter 9

A/N: Thanks to the people who actually reviewed! Hehe… Anyway here's chap. 9! They're going home! (actually two more chapters! )

"Kinosuke…?" I mumbled, my eyes were wide open. Was that? "Was that… was that radio… working just now?"

Kinosuke nodded numbly, still gaping at the radio.

I backed away from the door and leaned beside him, scanning every inch of the black contraption. If it did work just now… then that means the guys should have an idea where we are. I felt a smile tug at my lips. That also means that Kai will finally get proper medical assistance. And that is good news. I stood up straight and turned to poke Kinosuke's head gently. This calls for a celebration.

"Oi… Kinosuke-kun…" I waved my hand in front of his face, "Hello?" He was still gaping at the radio. I narrowed my eyes as I sighed and walked back into his kitchen. There I saw the ten-year old witch, Oh I gotta stop calling her that, trying to crack an egg with one hand. I shrugged, walked over to her and snatched the egg from her hands. She turned to me, her eyebrows raised.

"Y-you…"

I smirked at her, as I placed the egg by the bowl, "This… is how you do it," I cracked the egg open, with one hand of course.

She glared at me and snatched the bowl away. "I can cook our food myself, thank you very much!" She reached for her ladle (its wood! ) and started mixing as she turned away. I scoffed at her. Fine if she doesn't want help. I wonder if Kinosuke's back on earth yet… I wondered as I trekked over to his room. I poked my head inside and looked around the room. The yellow-haired boy was nowhere in sight.

"I wonder…" I walked inside the room. "Where he is?" I walked over to his desk. Looks like he left the radio… I picked the radio up. Hmm… I wonder what happens if… I pressed the red button. I jumped as the radio crackled noisily.

"Ah! What the hell is happening!" I shriek as I continued to press the red button continuously. Why won't it stop! Oh my god! Did I break it!

"So it does work…" I turned around to see Kinosuke smirking at me. I gently placed the black object back down the table.

"So does that mean we can contact Rei and the guys?" I asked him as I sat myself in his chair. He shrugged as he sat down in front of me, cross-legged.

"I guess so… you just have to press the red button… over…" He pointed to the radio. "There. And then you speak," He added as he grinned.

I puffed. "Well sorry, I don't use these things I usually just yell stuff at the guys,"

He smirked again, "Hn… anyway let's start shall we?" He motioned for me to hand him the radio.

"Ok…" I trailed off as I watched him as he pressed the button. He then shoved the radio in front of my face, "W-what?" I stuttered. And I'm supposed to do what exactly!

He rolled his eyes, "Speak." What is he a dog trainer? I sighed and opened my mouth to speak.

"H-hello?" I spoke softly wondering who or what actually might answer from the other side.

-

Hello?

Rei jumped to his feet. Once again he had been assigned the watch-over-the-radio duty and once again he had heard it work. Although this time he wasn't going to let his being there to waste. He quickly snatched the radio away from the table and pressed the button.

"Hello?"

R… The voice was shaking. Rei? Rei is that you?

Rei almost fell from his seat as he heard Hilary's voice. "Hilary? Is that really you?" He screamed at the receiver.

Yes! Of course it is! It is sooo nice to hear your voice again Rei! Hilary replied. He could tell she was overjoyed as much as he.

"So how are you doing?" Nice move Rei. What a situation to ask about her well being.

Oh… I'm okay… except… I haven't taken a bath in days! Not to mention Kai needs to see the doctor right now or else he might die! Her voice boomed from the radio, Well okay he won't die… but still he isn't mentally capable! What if he looses his already psychotic mind and does something to me!

"Uh… Hilary…" I rubbed my ear. Maybe asking her how she was doing wasn't such a good idea. "Don't worry, the chief already has it covered,"

Her voice turned calm. What do you mean covered?

"He already knows where you two are because of the radio frequency it sent out awhile ago," Rei explained.

So that means you'll find us and we'll all go home?

"Sooner or later," Rei smirked.

Yey! Hilary cheered in the background. But wait! Can I bring Ki—Hilary's voice started to break. Does this mean their or our radio has given up? Or Hilary did something stupid… again. "Hilary? Hilary? Are you still there?"

Rei sighed as he felt the ship come to a stop. He placed the radio back to its original place as he leapt down to tell the others. Well… at least he knew they were safe. All that was left was for them to find them. He smirked and he did promise her that they would find them sooner or later. But still he can't slack off. Who knows what Hilary might do, He chuckled to himself.

"Hey! Rei! C'mon! We're going to start the searching!" Takao called to his friend. The neko-jin smirked as he walked to the others.

-

"Oh crud," I cursed as I stared at the remains of the once whole and crackling radio. Too much of my excitement has caused me all the hope I had left in the form of the black radio. Of course Rei and the others knew we were here. So technically there's no need for the radio. I looked around. Where has Kinosuke disappeared to now?

"Hilary! Hilary!" I heard Kinosuke call me from the outside. I sighed and walked outside. What now…

"Hilary!" Kinosuke breathed as he halted in front of me, "Its Kai…"

What has happened to him now? What good timing. Now that everything was going fine… that sorry excuse for a man had to…

"He's woken up…" My eyes widened as I completely took in what Kinosuke has just said.

"H-he's woken up?" I stuttered.

He looked up to smile at me, "C'mon I'll show you," He gently took my hands in his as he pulled me towards where Kai was waiting.

-

Then after that everything seemed to have just fallen into place. The next day after that, one of the bladebreakers, namely the bubble head Takao who fell prey to one of Kinosuke's traps… which led to them finding us.

"Pass me more fish Hilary!" Takao sputtered out.

I rolled my eyes as I passed Takao some of the grilled fish. We were now sitting in Kinosuke's hut having dinner. Everything was finally back to normal. Kai had woken up and they and the bladebreakers have finally reunited. And the next best part that was they were planning to set out for home tomorrow. Oh right Kai. Kai was still too weak to move around. I sighed, head injuries sure affect the body a lot. I guess I should bring him some food. I stood up and excused myself as I headed out to Kai's hut with a plate of grilled fish in my hands.

"Kai?" I started as I pushed the door open. I quietly entered the room and looked to find Kai near the window, staring blankly into space or enjoying the scenery outside maybe? "Hey Kai," I call out softly to him.

He turned to stare at me blankly, to acknowledge my presence, I concluded. "H-here, I brought you some dinner," I stuttered as I place the plate down on the floor. He just nodded and then started counting dust particles again.

I sighed. Still the same old Kai… And I thought he would maybe open up to me more after this incident. I guess I shouldn't have expected much. I averted my gaze to stare at the floor. Nothing has changed after all.

"I hate being this weak…"

My head shot up as I heard him speak. He was still staring at the window, but his eyebrows were furrowed.

"Huh?" I whispered stupidly.

"I hate it," He turned to look at me, "I have been much of a burden throughout this whole adventure right?" His eyes bore right straight into mine. I saw glint of sadness for a second or two.

I shook my head rapidly, "Uhh no! No of course not! Actually it was my fault because…"

"I feel so useless…" His head was hung low now. "Just like I felt when I was stuck in hell balkov abbey,"

"K-kai…?" I stammered. Could he? Could he be crying? I crawled closer to him and peered in closer. Oh for the love of… he is! He. The ice king, the phoenix prince who was rumored to inherit half of Russia was actually crying! I sighed inwardly. I guess I should comfort him.

"It's alright…" I started softly at first as I reached out to pat his back. "I mean it was actually all my fault… because if I hadn't been such a bitch during those first two days… We wouldn't have fallen over that waterfall…" I paused for a while. "And you didn't have to get hurt for saving me back then…" I finished as I smiled warmly at him. "But then if you hadn't gotten hurt we might've set out ourselves and would have never found a way to contact the guys…"

He looked up at me as I reached to dry his tears. I can't believe this. He's actually crying! Oh but he's stopping. Must think of more feel good words! "So technically you weren't useless at all," Well that was stupid. Way to go Hilary.

I did a double take as warm arms encircled my waist and was pulled closer into Kai's chest.

"K-kai..?" Is he actually hugging me? From what I remember he doesn't hug people! Although this feels well… good. Oh what the fuck… I felt a smile creep to my lips as I sink deeper into Kai's arms.

Kai had so much more to say… but a single hug from him had told her every word there was to say.

A/N: I'm sorry it took long for me to update. I have this 'battle of the brains' thing to worry about. Anyway I just had to put this up. I'll be updating soon I promise! And there will be more KaixHil fluff later! just keep reviewing. Review equals update mind you. :3
