Author's note: I am back with a new chapter. Yay! Aannddd, I have finally decided how I am going to write this story. The first four chapters, including this one, are a kind of a prologue to the story. I had to make it that way because if it wasn't then the fifth chapter would seem kind of weird to you guys and you would have no idea what was going on. Anyways it is time to thank the reviewers.

kai/hilary all the way - I am soooo sorry that I didn't thank you for the first chapter. You reviewed the same day I posted the second chapter and I didn't realize that you reviewed until to late. I am really, very sorry! Hope you can forgive me! Anyways, thank you for the review and I will update as fast as I can!!!

Phoenix-Roar – Thank-you for the very complimentary review. It's reviews like yours that keep me writing. I am so glad that you like my story and I hope this next chapter does justice to your standards. Don't think your stories are crap. I really like them! I will update as soon and fast as I can!

LightningAurora- I'm so glad you like my fic and I try to do the best I can with description since I believe that is what makes a story good. Thank-you for the wonderful review!

Random Reviewer- Thank-you for being one of the reviewers who reviewed both the first and second chapter. I love how you did your review and my English teacher isn't all evil...just a little bit. Just kidding! Anyways hope you like the next chapter.

Hutchy- Kai didn't really have to hold her down did he? Did I write that? Well, if I did, I didn't mean to write it. He is just trying to find out what wrong and Hilary was really lost in her own mind because of the pain she was experiencing at the time. Unless you mean at the end when he lunged at her. Then he was just trying to catch her off guard. Anyways, I hope that answered your questions and thank-you for the review.

fire vixon- Thanks for the great review and I'm glad you like my story. But, I really shouldn't be doing this, you might be disappointed with what happens to Hilary. This is a Romeo and Juliet fic. Sorry, and I will try to make what happens to Hilary not all bad..

Mrs. Sumpter- Lol! Yes I laughed to when I was writing the lunging scene. It was kind of funny even though it was supposed to be dramatic! Thank-you for the compliments and the review. I will update as fast as I can, though I don't know if I can do more than a page a day. I hope you enjoy this next chapter even more than the first two!

ShadowandAmy'sfangirlforlife- Thanks for the review! I hope you think the next chapter is good and I will update as soon as I can!

mimi- You might be a little disappointed because I plan to have a lot of cliffies in this story! Lol, but some of the chapters won't. Anyways, thank-you for the great review and the compliments!

Akina Hiwatari- I'm glad that you think it's cute and I hope you enjoy the next chapter. You might think the end is especially cute, but I'm not sure of how good I am at writing fluff so you'll have to read and find out. Thank-you for the review!

Hilary Lover- Sorry if you tried to review on the first chapter. I'll thank you now for the first and for the second o.k? I'm glad you like my fic. Thank–you for the first and second chapter! Hope I updated fast enough.

eralda- Thanks for the second review in a row! I will try to update as quick as I possible can. My main focus in the story is the romance between Hilary and Kai and I will try to write it as best as I can!

Kais Devil- Your review made me laugh, but don't take that the wrong way! You are one of my favorite reviewers for taking the lunging part that way! Kai does kind of jump on her, but my real reason for writing that part because he had to catch her off guard. He really doesn't land on her...only half on! Thanks for the review and I will update a soon and fast as I can.

Phew! That was a lot of typing, but it was worth it because you guys rock!!! I would just like to point out that typing replies to all your reviews does not affect how long the chapters are going to be so don't worry. They would be as short or long as they are if I had zero reviews at this moment. Oh, and if I forgot your review tell me and I will make sure to include it for the next time and I am really sorry if I did. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and this is my favorite chapter title so far, it might be my favorite chapter too!!!

Heaven's Call

Madness Conquered...

Finally reacting to all the noise, Hilary turned her head and broke eye contact. Kai saw the opportunity and took the dive, lunging at her.

I won't let them take me! They'll never find out! Never!

Her mind spun, picking up only fragments of what was going on. Animal sense had taken over, and all she knew was she had to get away. Saneness and consciousness was slowly slipping away, being sucked into a dark hole of nothing.

Hilary's senses picked up noise and despite warnings from her brain not to move, she turned to face to the now opened doorway and the cold rain coming through it. Through her unfocused eyes and attention she managed to catch sight of a navy haired boy, around her own age before being grabbed around the waist and knocked to the ground. Hard.

Pain lashed up her back as she slammed into the wall. Her head banged against hard wood resulting in total loss of sight. Rage filled her, and the need to fight sang to her. Wildness bubbled inside, threatening to overflow. Growling she dug her nails into soft tissue and was rewarded with a grunt of pain.

I will fight, and I will win. I will get away!

Still finding no release of the tight grip on her waist she lunged out with her teeth and at the same time her nails flew again. Scrunching her hand up into a fist she punched and hit, anything to help her get away. The hands around her waist finally removed themselves, trying to escape her blind frenzy. She stood. This was her chance to escape.

Pain rained upon her in tides as a fist connected with her stomach and sent her sprawling back into the wall, and sliding down upon the floor. Very suddenly, reality came crashing down on her. Her eyes opened and sight returned. Twisted thoughts of her pain came back to her and bitter tears started to well up in ruby orbs. She had lost control, just as she had lost her life.

I can't believe it...I'm so stupid...

Crystal tears overflowed and small sobs erupted. Her arms wrapped around her body as she started to rock herself slowly. Back and forth, back and forth. Closing her eyes again Hilary's head fell in her lap weighed down by painful memories and exhausting tiredness. Back and forth, back and forth. Her shoulders shook with the force of her sobs.

My life is over...

"I'm sorry I hurt you..."

Kai's voice sounded genially sorry but Hilary was again lost in the void of her mind and the sorrow of her life. Back and forth, back and forth. A hand came to rest on her shoulder and she opened her eyes but didn't look up. She watched as if fascinated with the small, porcelain tears clinging to her long, ebony lashes only to fall and splash on the wood of the dojo floor. Still she rocked. Still she wept. The hand moved to her chin, forcibly lifting it from it's resting place on her knees. But her eyes wouldn't look up, she was too ashamed, to hurt.

"Hilary? It's o.k..."

The sympathetic, empathy in the voice made her finally look up. Crimson eyes locked on hers and for the first time in her life she felt that someone really understood her. Through the darkness came a light, shining in white brilliance and for a moment, just a moment, Hilary felt a little better. Then the load of her pain came crashing back again, but it was lighter then before.

"Thank you..."

... for understanding

Her mind swirled, the events of the day flashing before her eyes in her mind. Darkness began to eat away at the edge of her vision. Her head fell back limply to rest on the cold, hard wall. Kai's hands roughly grabbed her shoulders and shook her. The shaking rattled her body but it didn't stop the darkness from coming, and claiming her mind and body...

It's over...

The slate haired boy roughly shook the brunette until she went limp in his arms. He stopped, and watched her head fall back as far as it would go and her neck lay over his arm.

She looks so peaceful...

Her face was a mask of calm and serenity. It showed none of the pain and turmoil she had so obviously been through. Kai sighed with a mix of feelings. He still didn't know what had caused her to do this. Hilary had never acted downright mean to anyone as long as he had known her. She was one of the kindest people he knew. Sorrow was welling up inside him as he thought of hurting this already so pained brunette. He looked down at her again and suddenly exhaustion overcame him. Considering the days events...

Kai stooped down, tucked his arm under Hilary's legs and stood. He looked down at her to make sure she had not woken, though it was highly unlikely she would. His eyes looked up to meet four sets of very surprised and confused ones. Tyson regarded him carefully and his gaze swept over the girl in Kai's arms.

"What...?"

Tyson looked up at Kai questionably, hoping for an answer to all his questions. Kai's crimson eyes passed over all of them as he cleared his throat.

"I found her in the old Japanese garden in the east side of the city. I dragged her home... after a bit of resistance I might add." He added dryly eyeing the spot where Hilary's nails had gone through the flesh. "When we got to the dojo she just sort of... freaked out. Something bad must of happened...". He finished off lamely making it clear to them that he didn't know why she had acted the way she did.

The boys stood there in silence not looking at each other, each with his own thoughts. Outside the rain was now only a few odd drops and the sky was wrapped in a cloak of darkness. Silence reined as the only sound was crickets chirping. Finally, Max looked up and noticed that Kai still held Hilary, both of them had droplets of water sliding down them and small pools on the ground were beginning to collect around their feet.

"Uh, Kai? Maybe we should put Hilary to bed and then you can get dried off. She's out cold, but she'll wake in the morning."

Kai blinked, coming out of his thoughts. He was still wondering what had happened to Hilary.

Something bad... she was totally out of it.

He sighed to himself inwardly and nodded to Max. Tyson led him down the dark hallway of the dojo to where a spare room was located at the back. It was obviously used for guests with its sparse furniture supply. A wooden bed complete with some sheets lay against the far wall. On the right side of the wall lay a small, polished, wood desk. A twisted arch on the top of it held a mirror and there were tiny designs of a swans with their necks arced to the moon decorating it. Kai walked over to the far wall and gently, as if not to wake her, laid down the brunette on top of the soft coverlet.

Standing up straight again, he looked down at the now peaceful girl. Soft breaths were the only sound in the room as her chest rose and fell with each heartbeat. Kai bent over the brunette, watching her for a moment, then slipped his hand under the girl and lifted her by the small of her back. Hilary's glossy, wet hair slipped past her shoulders as her head hung back limply. He slipped his hand under her damp, denim jacket and with the other hand, slowly pulled it off to reveal the black sleeveless shirt she wore underneath. Laying her back down gently, he pulled a soft coverlet over her icy skin. Without thinking he reached down and removed a strand of chestnut hair, straying on her face.

It's amazing how she can look so-

"Uh...Kai? Shouldn't you get in some dry clothes and let Hilary rest?"

Not responding, Kai leaned down to whisper in Hilary's ear.

"Sweet dreams..."

Turning around, with all the stealth and grace of his usual character, Kai calmly walked toward the door. His pride had returned and he was not about to lose it on some girl, even if she was his friend. Sneaking one final glance at the sleeping brunette, he closed the door, leaving the girl in pitch darkness.

Sleep while you can, but darkness will come again and it will find you... wherever you hide...

Author's note: Fluff! I couldn't resist adding that 'sweet dreams' thing at the end. It is soo cute and soo out of character for Kai. In this fic he is basically all out of character but I tried to make him as close to the 'real' Kai as I could. I'm planning this really romantic part for the middle and I hope I write it good. I'm so scared that I won't be able to write it well and that will ruin the whole story. Oh, well, I just need some motivation/inspiration so don't worry guys! Review with your flames, suggestions requests, compliments or whatever's! Until the saga continues R&R!
