Chibi-Kari: Well, I had written this chappie a long time ago…but my computer

crashed…Thank God it is finally fixed! Happy New Year…err a month late.

Max: She doesn't own for obvious reasons. She probably wouldn't get the

series done. Instead she would watch Kenshin all day long and there aren't that

many of those episodes.

Chibi-Kari: FSU!

Max: Forgive her, college acceptance letters just came in. On with the fic…

Love Is Like A Role That We Play

Chapter 5-Surprise For Kai

Kai's POV

I finally decided to visit my old team. I mean I couldn't go without visiting Tyson and

Kenny. Daichi I could live without, but Hilary I had to see. Over the time we spent

together, she became almost a portion of me. She had more insight on me than I even

did. It's kind of creepy.

'Man, why do they have to be on the top floor.' I thought as I climbed what seemed like

the hundredth stair. Like I was going to get in an elevator, I avoid human socialization

as much as I can. There is no reason I would ever get in an elevator with a myriad

amount of people.

'Finally.' I thought as I reached the top floor and rounded the corner to the door, 'Wait.

Mess of blonde hair and black pony. Rei and Max are here, well that's two less trips I

have to take.

"Hey!" Max said as he looked over and bounded towards me. He is definitely the only

guy that should bound…scratch that no one should bound.

"Hi, buddy! Funny, seeing you here." Rei said as he turned and walked towards me.

Great now I have both of them wanting to chat.

"Hn." I replied as I walked passed them and knocked on the door. Rei and Max stood

behind me, as we waited for the door to be opened. Suddenly we heard an "I'll get it!"

and Kenny swung the door open, inviting us in with happiness shining through his

eyes…err…or lack there of.

Walking in I saw Daichi scratching his head at the chess game in front of him. I just

shook my head slightly as I thought that only Kenny would try to teach a dimwit to play a

strategic game.

"Hey guys! Want something to drink?" Hilary's voice interrupted my thoughts, as I

looked over to see her standing in the kitchen. She looked prettier than ever.

Pretty…only a word I would say to her. It's funny how one person can change you so

much. I nodded yes, a drink actually sounded good right now.

Ha, Rei's right about Tyson's hygiene…or once again lack there of. And of course with

his perfect timing he walks in "It was never bad in the first place buddy." Who are you

kidding, Tyson. You smell like a pig most of the day. "What are you doing Hil?" Oh

come on Tyson, she is standing in the kitchen. I didn't think you were this dumb.

"Getting a drink for the guys." Hilary said turning to him, she almost seemed to be

begging.

His eyes widened slightly as he walked quickly into the kitchen, "No. Go sit

down. I'll do it." When did this happen? When did he become caring?

"Tyson-" There is that look again.

"Don't argue with me." Why is he being so firm about this, and why isn't she reveling

that she has him doing chores for her?

"Here we go again." Daichi whispered to Kenny. What does that mean?

"Yeah, you'd think she'd just let him have his way. I mean he's not going to let

her help anyway and he would have been furious if he had found out later." Kenny

responded. Furious, for her doing something? Something happened.

"Fine." She said as she crossing her arms and stomping into the living room.

Clunk Max fell off the couch. Smooth Max, you always were the most graceful of us.

Rei looked on with wide eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if they popped right out of his

head. He's Chinese…geeze…his eyes weren't made to go that wide! Me, I knew that I

wasn't succeeding in masking this expression of pure shock and rage. Somewhere

inside me I even felt a twinge of betrayal. How could she get herself in this

situation? No, that's not the question. The question is who and how can I kill him?

"Don't let your eyes fall out Rei." Hilary laughed as she sat down. How could she be

taking this so lightly?

"Hilary you're pregnant." Go Max, I think you just won the obvious award and get off the

floor.

"What gave you that idea?" Now that is the Hilary I know.

I just couldn't take this anymore. I need to know who did this. I will kill him. I knew my

knuckles were turning white from gripping the arms of the chair. "Who?" I asked not

even hiding my anger.

Chibi-Kari: I will update sooner now…I hope you liked. And just to mention, we

can't hear Kai's thoughts all the time, so I am allowed to take liberties!

Max: Sure…you are going to get so flamed for this. Review!
