AijinMegami: HALLLOOOOOOO! NEW CHAPTER! I DON'T OWN BEYBLADE!
Hilary quickly got changed into something more suitable for outside. She wore a black shoulder off shirt with a picture of red phoenix on the back and baggy black pants that had a chain dangling on the side. She wore black red gloves with matching sneakers; she tied her hair up so it wouldn't get in her way.' If I hurry I might be there just in time to see Tyson and Ray battle each other'
Dragoon: Why are you going? You know everything's going to be alright.
I know……but I have really bad feeling about right now.
Dranzer: Your feeling is correct, I sense a dark presence.
"Hilary!" she heard a shout, turning around she saw Kaosu running up to her. She noticed his shoulder looked like it was hit by a sharp weapon and his face a diagonal slash on the right cheek" Kaosu, what happened!"
"Tsuki……she found the position of Tyson and the others. You should hurry, I delayed her for a moment but she's heading there fast." He said collapsing on the floor" Do-Don't mind me, I just need some rest." She glanced at him and nodded" Alright then, don't die on me." he smirked" D'uh."
Hilary chuckled as she ran quickly through the roads when she finally found the mountain they were on' Dragoon, lend me your power' she ordered, without much complaint she felt the air around her grow stronger. They covered her and carried her silently but quickly up the mountain.
"So……you came." She heard a chilling voice as she landed in the middle of the mountain, she hadn't wanted herself be caught by the boys flying up the mountain."….Tsuki…" she whispered." Yes…it's been a while…Hilary."
She looked up and saw Tsuki sitting on the branch of a tree that was growing on the mountain. She glared at the midnight blue haired girl who just stared solemnly at the view" What are you doing here? Are you here to hurt the boys, because if you are…I will stop you." Tsuki chuckled" Is that all you think of when it's about me now? That all I do is hurt people?"
"You hurt Kaosu!" Hilary snapped" I hurt him because he attacked me first, call it self defense." She said simply as she lazily twirled her wrist around, Hilary noticed the blood on it." If you're not here to hurt them…then why are you here?" Tsuki sighed as she felt a cool breeze flying by them.
"Let's just say……I came here to enjoy the beauty." She said impassively" Tell me Hilary……when you look at the villages from here what do you feel?" she asked, giving her a suspicious glance Hilary stared at the sight and said instantly." I feel happiness, warmth, and comfort." Tsuki chuckled without any mirth in it" That's all you see? Try and see out of the box." With a glare Hilary looked at it again and blinked.
"I see sadness, anger…bitterness…what in the world!" Tsuki sighed" What you felt at felt first was the greater feeling that people emit everyday…if you concentrate you can see the negative feelings that are covered up…"
"Why are you telling me this?" Tsuki finally looked down at her, Hilary's eyes widened a bit. Her usual emotionless eyes were filled with bitterness, anger, and…loneliness" You…little Hikaru…are the light, the freedom, the happiness………cherish that." She whispered along with the gust of wind that appeared.
'Wha-What did she mean by that?' Hilary thought as she collapsed to her knees' is there something about Tsuki that I don't know? She and I share everything; we know each other better then we know ourselves!' she thought as sad tears fell from her eyes' what did I miss? Tsuki……what made you change?'

(FLASHBACK)
----------------
"Tsuki, why are you always so cheerful?" 6 year old Hilary asked as she rubbed the tears away from her eyes" What's there to be sad about!" Tsuki asked tilting her head" I mean, even when I hit you when we spar you never cry out or anything! Doesn't it hurt that you want to cry?" Tsuki giggled" No silly, pain fades away so fast that it's like it was never there."
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Hilary exploded, Tsuki laughed" It's because Hilary, I have so much to be happy for. I have sensei and you to keep me happy, I'm so happy that I'm so free, that I can do anything if I put my mind into it!" Hilary pondered on her logic and smiled" You know what, you're right! We shouldn't let stupid things bring us down!" Tsuki nodded" You got that right! The two laughed as they continued their little training.

(END OF FLASHBACK)
----------------
Rain poured as Hilary walked along the road that night, she hadn't returned to the motel yesterday and had stayed out all night long at the mountain…staring at the scenery as Tsuki's words floated into her head.' I don't understand…'
Draceil: Hilary…you should really return back to the boys.
Driger: Yes, you will get sick this way!
Please……just leave me alone…
She walked in the rain; her eyes seemed lifeless as they seemed to have lost their spark. She knew she missed their match against Charming Prince that was today and that tomorrow they had another match but she also knew that they didn't need her.
"What are you doing out here?" she heard a soft voice ask from behind, turning around she saw Mariah standing there holding an umbrella with Kevin standing behind her holding groceries." Ma-Mariah?" Mariah noticed her dead like eyes making her eyes widened a bit" C'mon, you'll get a cold or even worse at this rate." She said dragging Hilary under the umbrella.
"Mariah, are you crazy! She's the enemy." Kevin exclaimed" Oh shut up, c'mon." she whispered to Hilary as they walked back to the house they were staying at. At first they stayed at the motel but after what Kevin did they decided it was best if they distanced themselves from the Bladebreakers. Their sensei rented out a nice little house for them. Hilary continued to look down as she walked along with them; she heard the squeak of the door opening.
"Mariah, what the hell are you doing!" Lee roared as soon as he saw Hilary next to them" Shut up Lee, like she said before, just because we're against Ray doesn't mean we have to be against people who are friends with him! It's not fair to them." She snapped, talking against him for the first time.
"N-No…it's a-alright…I-I sh-shouldn't be in-intruding." Hilary stuttered as her bangs covered her eyes" Hey, what's wrong?" Mariah asked gently ash Hilary tightened her grip on her fists that was placed in front of her chest.
"H-Hey Lee…it…it must really hu-hurt…when your…be-best friend leaves you……th-they do-don't leave a s-single note….no n-note…n-no letter…..y-you wa-wait for an…e-explanation th-that'll ne-never come…a-and then…ka-boom…th-they're wo-working for t-the en-enemy….y-your n-not an-angry be-because o-of that…y-you get a-angry be-because t-they d-didn't…e-even ex-explain wh-why they left…di-didn't t-tell y-you an-anything…y-your be-best fr-friend…the o-one that y-you t-thought as a si-sibling." Everyone as silent at her speech, Lee glared at her.
"How dare you just come in here and say how you know how I feel!" he roared, Hilary chuckled" Y-You don't need to h-hide it………be-because I know…how you feel." She said looking up as tears fell from her eyes" Hilary." Mariah whispered softly as Lee just stared wide eyed" I…was hurt…as well." she whispered as she fell backwards" Whoa!" Mariah yelled catching her just in time" She's burning up!" she glanced at Lee who looked away" Well, what are you waiting for? Take her to bed before she gets worse!" he snapped looking away, she smiled and walked away carrying Hilary was who really light.
"Hey Lee…is this wise?" Kevin asked from behind, Lee didn't answer as a flash of Hilary crying with the same eyes such as his entered his mind. Her eyes held the same emotions his did, confusion and sadness. He didn't hate Ray, he could never hate him…but just leaving him like that one day really killed him. Why didn't Ray say anything to him, didn't he trust him? Weren't they best friends?
----------------
(With the Bladebreakers)
----------------
"GAAAHHHHH, WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT WOMAN, SHE'S BEEN GONE FOR ALMOST TWO DAYS!" Tyson screamed. Kai stayed silent as he leaned against the wall in his usual position with his eyes closed.' No…she wouldn't leave just because of what I did…she's not like that' he thought mentally.
"Yeah, at first I thought it was nothing…like she was just out but she's been gone for too long." Ray murmured" Great, first Ray and then Hilary. Who's next, Kai?" Tyson grumbled" Hehe, cheer up. She's probably doing her girl thing." Max said with a sweat dropped." Well what girl thing would take this long?" Tyson retorted.
"Hn, you guys should trust her more." Kai said simply getting off the wall" I'm going to bed." He said simply as he walked away, Tyson gapped at him" Did Mr. I'm-Too-Cool-To-Speak just say more then one sentence!" Max laughed" Hehe, well you never know about Kai." Chief suddenly burst into the room panting" You guys, we sort of have a problem."
"What's up?" Chief panted and sat down" I was fixing recalibrating Draciel's defense ring with this better one that I made…but then it….IT BROKE!" he yelled" What's the deal, you could just put the old one back." Max said tilting his head" That's the thing, I had to fix all kinds of things so that the ring I made would adjust perfectly but if I have to redo it, it would take all day even if I try and fix it all night!"
"Chill Chief, Kai will just have to take over whether he likes it or not." Tyson said with a shrug" Well alright then, I'll start fixing your blade right away!" Chief yelled running back into his little work room." Well then, let's get some sleep. We have another big day tomorrow!" Max said clapping his hands.
Hilary's eyes fluttered open, she felt something warm/cool and damp on her head. Sitting up slowly she noticed Mariah asleep with her head on the bed she was on" I see you're awake." She heard a gruff voice answer, looking up she saw Lee standing there."….why did you take me in?" she asked curiously.
"So…what happened to you?" he asked, ignoring the question." I met a very close friend of mine……she left me a long time ago and…she returned working for people that had bad intentions." She whispered, he blinked and grinned at the irony" So I was right, we're alike in a way." she smiled" I guess.
"Don't you have a match to go to?" he asked after a pause of silence" Hmm, it's not for another few hours. Besides, I need to repay you guys somehow. Did you have breakfast yet?" she asked tilting her head, he shook his head and her smile widened" Great, then I'll make you something to eat!" before he could stop her she ran out the door" mmmh, what's going on?" Mariah asked rubbing her eyes.
"She's awake and making breakfast." Lee answered simply" WHAT! She's sick, she should be in bed." He shrugged" Must heal fast." Glaring at him she ran down the stairs only to see her cooking away" Wait, Hilary, you're sick!" Hilary looked up and laughed" I'm fine, thanks to you I feel a lot better." Mariah watched wide eyed as Hilary finished breakfast in a blink of an eye.
"Hey, what smells good?" they heard Kevin's voice ringing through the house; he blinked when he saw Hilary but didn't comment." Mmmhhhh." Gary said in pleasure as he took a bite" Hey, this is as good as it smells!" Kevin said taking a bite, Hilary giggled" Of course, I used to train out in the wilderness so I had to learn to survive with some edible foods." Mariah sighed" I still think you should rest, but since you won't, eat something at least. You need more nutrients in your body. I noticed some wounds on your body when I changed you so I don't think you should move around that much."
"Huh? Oh yeah, I forgot about those." Hilary said as Mariah sweat dropped" But what's up with those tattoos?" this caught a certain someone's attention" Cool, you have tattoos!" Kevin exclaimed" Oh, uh yeah. Hehe, four in fact but how they look like or whatever is a secret because you're too young to know where they are." She said flicking his nose" Heeyyy, stop treating me like a kid." His previous nervousness around her was gone; he had been scared for what happened at their last encounter.
"Anyways, thanks for the great hospitality but I have to go. The boys are probably worried sick and are going to kill me once I get back." She said with a chuckle" I guess, but be careful out there. Oh and Hilary…I think I'll take your offer to hang out once in a while." Hilary smiled" Thanks…well see you guys later!" she said with a wave, as she left Mariah smiled" She's an interesting girl." Lee nodded" That's true."

(Asian Tournament)
----------------
Hilary arrived just in time as the tournament started; she blinked when she saw only Kai, Max and Chief." Hmm, where are Tyson and Ray?" she murmured looking around. She had gone to the motel first and found it empty so she used Dragoon's powers to fly over here.
"What are we going to do? Max doesn't even have a beyblade that works, Tyson and Ray aren't even here, and Hilary isn't even here to take over!" Chief yelled panicking; Max sweat dropped" Don't you have an extra beyblade that I could use with Draceil?" Chief gasped for air and yelled" NO!"
"Hey, what's up?" they heard a voice chirp above them, looking above there seats they saw Hilary looking down on them from a crouching position" WHERE WERE YOU!" Chief exploded" None of your business, now what's the matter?"
"The match is starting in 3 minutes, Tyson and Ray aren't here, and I don't have a beyblade since Chief was tweaking with it and something went wrong. You and Kai are the only ones with beyblades that are either here or working right now." Max stated simply" I have a beyblade you could use for now." Hilary said after much consideration.
"Really?" Max asked wide eyed" Here." She said grabbing his hand, placing a blade on his hand" Whoa, this is so cool!" the blade was in different shades of green and seemed to be in mint condition' It's wrong to hand him Draceil Gravity but this wasn't how history was told either……I have no choice
"Max, listen closely. Finish the match quickly, don't stall or anything. I don't care how you defeat your opponent, just do it." she snapped" H-Huh, but why? Tyson and Ray aren't here if Kai and I win!" she rolled her eyes" I'm here, besides are you going to humiliate us and hurt the pride of those boys over there?" she asked, motioning towards their opponents." They came here to show people what they can do, if you don't fight with your all you'll just be hurting them." Glancing at their enemy he nodded" Fine then, I'll do it."
She smirked" Good."
Draceil: This is not wise, Hilary, not wise at all.
Don't worry; just help me concentrate on lessening the blade. It's a little too powerful for Max to control.
Dragoon: A LITTLE too powerful?
Okay, it's a lot powerful, at least it's not Draceil Metal Shield. Now shut up and help me.
Dragoon: Stop telling me to shut up!
Then stop saying such obvious or stupid things!
Hilary watched quietly as Max defeated their opponents with ease, when he had first launched the blade his eyes widened at the force that shot out but he managed to control it a little bit with a lot of thanks to Hilary and the bitbeasts.
"Wow Hils, this beyblade is super wicked!" she sighed in relief" Thanks, now give it." she said with her hand out stretched, he seemed attached to it already but handed it to her. She smiled at his pouting face" Don't worry, you'll understand." She said with a smile, he looked confused but didn't ask.
"What are we going to do! Kai's match is already done!" Chief yelled, Hilary smiled" Hey, cool down. It's my turn now, finally I get to blade!" she yelled with sparkling eyes, they sweat dropped at her enthusiasm." We forfeit the third round!" their sweat drop grew as Hilary face faulted" WHAT!"
Her face grew red with anger as Kai talked, he growled when the ref disagreed" Hey, hey, HEEEEY! I'm still here idiot!" she yelled waving her hand, with one glance at her he turned and sat back down, she glared back as he glared back.
That was a close one! Kai called for a forfeit but he seemed to have forgotten our still mysterious blader.
You got that right Brad, apparently young Hilary doesn't seemed to happy about that either. Look, she's storming up with her beyblade right now!
"WAAAAIIIIITTTTT!" they heard a yell.
"Hm?" Hilary turned around and saw Tyson stomping through the stadium with Ray on his back" Thanks Hil but I'll take care of this." He said as he sluggishly got to them, he dropped Ray on the bench and gasped for air as he slouched a bit." No, how about we let Hilary take care of this? We've never let her blade."
"But-"Ray butted in again" No Tyson, beside if she blades the sooner we can get my ankle checked, shower, as well as you getting something to eat. Remember, you skipped breakfast." At the sounding of humongous growling stomach he sweat dropped and grudgingly agreed." Thanks!" she said with a smile.
She bounced over there and the two launched their blades but even before the boys' blade had touched the floor Hilary started walking away murmuring" I'm tired." They sweat dropped" What the-"he growled" Where do you think you're going!"
"What, the match's over." Hilary said rubbing her eyes, he looked down with wide eyed noticing that his blade unmoving.' My match ended even earlier than Kais' Hilary thought as she caught her blade without looking, she walked over to Ray and took a look at his ankle.
"The winner of the third round is Hilary from the Bladebreakers…hey, where'd she go?" the ref asked looking around since she wasn't at the dish.
Wow, I didn't even see what happened! Let's go to the cameras!
From the screen everyone looked up, even the boys, to see what happened. They blinked when in slow motion the blade just seemed stop by itself while Hilary's blade just span in front of it." What the hell happened!" Hilary giggled at their confused looks." Hey, there's sand in the dish and on my beyblade!" the boys from the other team yelled" That was my attack, Desert Coffin." She said simply.
I guess we were right; this girl is one tough beyblader!
You got that right, I feel sorry for whoever gets on her bad side!
"Whoa, that was wicked!" Tyson yelled, Hilary slapped her head gently with her fist with a tongue sticking out as she smiled" Hehe, I didn't want to break his blade." She said with a shrug. She blinked when she felt Kai's glare drilling a hole on the back of her head' Great, he's definitely going to try and beat me now. The only reason I'm so strong is because in the future everyone is so strong and the beyblades gotten more advanced. Not to mention with the war going on and all….'
