A/N: Hmm… since the new year is almost here… think of this update as your gift for the new years! MUahaha… anyways… enjoy!
Chapter 17
It was a day like any other. The guy's would wake up and then go on with their early morning practice, stop for a while to get breakfast and then start again. At least… I thought it was a day like any other. Ok, so it wasn't a day like any other. The boys were awfully quiet when I came in that morning. I turned to Kenny with a confused look on my face, "What happened? Did somebody….err… die… or something?"
Kenny shifted his gaze to answer me, his eyes were downcast, "Actually… you see… its because…"
"The world championships were cancelled…" Takao finished for him.
I stared at them in shock. They trained so hard this past few weeks for that. They practiced night and day so that they could win again. But… now… "Did they say why it was cancelled?"
Takao shook his head, "No,"
"I see…" I trailed on, "But then… there's still next year right? So what's to be sad about?"
Rei flashed a sad smile, "Yeah… next year…" He stood up, his back facing us, "I'll see you guys next year then…"
What did he mean by 'next year'? "What do you mean next year? Aren't you staying here?" I asked.
The neko-jin turned his head and gave me a small smile, "I'm sorry Hilary, not this year…" With that he twisted open the doorknob, "I'm leaving tomorrow,"
"B-but…"
"Actually…" Another voice started.
I turned my head to see Max, his hand raised, an apologetic smile painted on his face, "My mom needs me home this year…" He stood up and went over to Rei. "Sorry Hilary," He whispered.
"I'm leaving too,"
That voice. No way. Not him too. Not him. I felt tears prick the corner of my eyes. Why did he have to leave too! "Why do you all have to leave? I mean we've only spent… what 2 or 3 weeks together since that incident and now you guys are leaving?" I felt myself stand up. "Why Rei?"
He turned away, "I'm sorry,"
"Max?"
He was staring at the floor, eyes downcast, "I'm really sorry, I don't want to leave its just… my mom needs me there and…"
"…Kai?"
He opened one eye, "I have to go," He stood up and pulled the door open, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow," He spoke as he walked out of the room.
"I…" I choked at my tears. They're going to leave. If I don't do anything. They're going to leave. They can't leave. I won't let them. "I hate you guys!" I cried as I ran out of the room. Ignoring their calls I ran down the hallway, out of the door and on to the street. How come they have to leave so soon! Since that incident we've only been together for 2 weeks and now they want to leave? My feet halted into a stop as I reached my front door. I dried my tears before pushing the door open.
"Mother? I'm home…" I called out.
"Oh, back so soon? You want anything to eat?"
"I'm not hungry…I'll be in my room,"
"Tell me if you need anything!"
I just nodded and climbed the stairs to my room. I pushed open my door and fell down, landing on my bed. I squeezed my eyes shut and then opened them again. I didn't overreact did i? I rolled over to the side. Ok so I guess I did overreact a bit. And it wasn't like I wasn't going to see them again… I mean they just want to go home and see their families again… right? I felt a smile tug my lips as I sit up from my bed. I guess… I think I should say sorry…

"So what are you going to do with her?"
Kai opened one eye and glared at Takao, "Excuse me?"
"What are you going to do with her?"
"Her?"
"Yes her,"
"Who her?"
Rei slapped his forehead, "Don't act like you don't know Kai…"
"…"
"… about Hilary!" Max joined the discussion, a goofy grin on his face.
"What about her?"
"When are you going to tell her how you feel?"
"Feel?"
Rei's eyes narrowed, he sighed, "You know… tell her you love her and intend to marry her… someday have children and…"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kai retorted angrily. Nobody buts in his love life. Period.
"Aw c'mon Kai… we all know you like and/or love her as such," Takao shrugged as he took another bite of his sandwhich.
At this Kai stayed silent. What do they know anyway? He is not the guy who would just walk up to somebody, spread his arms and then yell 'I love you'. No sir, he would rather jump off a building than do anything like that.
"So what are you planning to do?" Kai looked up to see Kenny smirking at him. Whoa, Kenny? Smirking? Maybe he really was…
"Whoa chief… are you smirking?" Takao exclaimed, surprise evident in his tone, "Seeing you smirk means a lot of things, like Max dying his hair blue, Rei becoming a dog person… and…" He turned to Kai with a sly smile on his face, "… Kai falling in love,"
Kai scowled. Hmf. As if.
"No really what do you plan to do?"
"Nothing," Kai answered firmly.
"What do you mean nothing! I mean you're leaving the day after tomorrow, and you're going to do nothing!"
"Correct," He stood up, not wanting to hear anymore of their preaching. "I'll see you tomorrow then," He announced as he opened the door. It was strange really. Neither of them registering what had just happened until they crashed down the floor in a rather… suggestive position. With Hilary on top of Kai.
"Woohohohoo… See Kai? I told you to make the first move but no… I guess Hilary here couldn't wait a little longer," Came Takao's annoying voice.
Hearing the crash the others had automatically gone to check and ended up seeing their little 'accident' instead.
Hilary felt a vein pop in her temple. She hurries to go and apologize and this is what she gets in return? She pushed herself up and dusted herself avoiding Kai's hand in the process. "I come here to apologize and this is what happens…" She mumbles to herself. She took a sharp intake of breath, a tinge of pink still evident on her cheeks, she turned to Kai, "Umm… S-sorry Kai,"
The now standing boy shook his head and preceded in going out the door, he raised his right hand to wave back to the others, "I'll see you,"
"Yeah…" Takao grinned as he waved back at Kai's retreating back.
"Takao…" Came Hilary's voice, with that murderous tone I might add.
He turned his head slowly, praying to the heavens that he might die peacefully, "Y-yeah?"
"YOU ARE SO DEAD!"
