Author note: This chapter isn't really dramatic except for a little bit at the end, but for my real point, I'm not sure if I write as good when the plot-line isn't as dramatic as it was in the first 3 chapters. Just a warning, that this chapter may not be as exciting or as well written as the first 3. Thank-you to all my reviewers and a special thanks to my constant ones!
LightningAurora- Thank you for reviewing! I try to do the best I can with making my readers feel what the character is feeling. I love stories that get you so drawn in to them that you don't realize that it is just a story. I hope you enjoy part four.
Chibi-Kari- Thank you for the compliments and I am flattered that you added my story to your C2 community! You probably won't find out why she is so upset until the last few chapters though. I love your story Years Ago. It has an absolutely awesome plot line. Thank-you for reviewing!
fire vixon- Thanks for reviewing again! I really liked the 'sweet dreams' part at the end too. I think that would be absolutely kawaii if it was in a movie or TV episode, though it is so out of character for Kai. Oh well, hope you like the new chappie!
Kais Devil- Thank-you for the review for the 3rd time! I guess you'll just have to wait to find out what happens, but the committing suicide thing is a great idea. I will update as soon as I can!
Random Reviewer- You are my favorite reviewer! I can't believe how creative you are, and that's just on reviews, imagine your stories! But, you're right, most KxH writers tend to forget or not add the other characters. The rest of the Bladebreakers will be in my story but for the first chapters I just wanted to make it KaiHil. I find it takes away from the main plot if you add the other characters too much. I'm also not really sure how to portray the other characters. Anyways, I'm thanking you for your review but what I really want to thank you for is giving me inspiration ideas. Thanks a bunch! You rock!
bluebaby888- Thanks guys! I'm glad you finally got on your account Anime Lady and finally reviewed my story. Hope you like the new chapter!
angel14- Thank-you for the review and suggestion! Hilary isn't rocking back and forth because she is a nut job; she is just trying to make herself feel better and that is the only way she knows how.
Phoenix-roar- Thank-you for the review. The romance so far is kind of...fluffy, but it will get more intense later...hopefully...just kidding! It will! Hope you like the new chapter!
Hutchy- Well...I think that once you find out what she is going through than you will know why she is acting the way she is. But she is kind of primal isn't she? Anyways, thanks for the review!
Kayla- Thank-you for the review! I will try to make it longer but I don't know...I'm kinda addicted to short chapters. KaixHil is also my favorite couple. I have a feeling you might not like the ending of my fic but I'll try to make it to your liking.
Thanks, you guys totally rule! I would just like to point out that Kai and Hilary aren't really in character. I mean, I personally don't think Kai would ever fall for Hilary and make it public. Most of the KaixHilary fics that I have read have both of them out of character a little too. Anyways, just a heads up for that. The flow of this story might slow down a little after this chapter for about two and then it will pick up again. Also, a few of you might not know why Hilary doesn't remember what happened the night before until later in this chapter. The reason is her mind was so screwed up the night before that she didn't remember until Kai clicked it into place. O.K enough typing, I hope you enjoy this chapter!!!
Heaven's Call
The Light of Remembrance...
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...
Light cascaded through the open window and birds announced the morning joyously, chirping their individual songs. Shadows chased each other across the walls where the light could not reach them and the soft drops of dew and left over rain were all that was left to show how heavy the rainfall had been the night before. The swans decorating the wooden arch of the mirror seemed to put away their moonlit beauty, to sleep through the day, until the night, when they would awaken again.
Twisted into a deep tangle of rose-colored sheets, a very groggy brunette rolled over, a slight groan escaping her lips. Her black lashes slowly opened and blinked as her ruby orbs focused on the white ceiling. Even with the simple furnishings, the girl smiled as she saw the beauty of the room. A crystal, hung on the window, made her smile most of all, for she loved watching the sunlight make small patterns of many colors on the walls. She had always loved morning, when the sun rose in all its golden radiance.
Still smiling, Hilary sat up in the rumpled bed and stretched, giving a little yawn. Her bare feet touched the ground and she stood up, walking over to the mirror. She frowned as her reflection peered back at her with its knotted chestnut hair and a strap of its black sleeveless shirt falling down its arm. With an exasperated sigh Hilary turned away from the mirror and glanced around the room again. She was obviously in Tyson's dojo and it was quite early.
Maybe one of the boys will be up...probably Kai...
Looking around for a brush and change of clothes, the realization finally hit her that the only possession of hers, that she was not wearing, in the room was her damp denim jacket thrown over the edge of the mirror. Her frown deepened as she found she could not recall what had happened the night before and so had no idea why there were no clothes for her here. The brunette turned back to the mirror with a slight feeling of embarrassment. She would have to go in front of the boys, most likely Kai, with her hair and body looking like a hurricane had hit it. There was something about going in front of Kai, like this, that seemed...wrong, but she could not quite put her finger on it. Shrugging her shoulders she got to work trying to flatten her hair without a brush.
Kai will just have to deal with it...I guess...
Sitting straight backed, on one of the chairs in the kitchen, Kai looked out the window, staring at nothing in particular. His strength felt drained and he had not had a good night. Nightmares that he could not remember had brought him gasping back to consciousness and left his mind spinning, with more questions then he had thought possible. He had been sitting in the exact same spot since 4:00 in the morning, brooding over his thoughts. Kai had watched the sun rise with a feeling of anxiety that he could not explain. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he was feeling worried about Hilary and the questions she had left unanswered. He needed to talk to her; she had a lot of explaining to do.
As if on cue, soft footsteps sounded from the hallway. Kai turned in his chair to look at the arching, wood doorway, where the sound of the footsteps was approaching. He usually wouldn't be so eager to meet people, but he needed answers if he was ever going to get a good night's sleep again.
Hilary came in to view, hugging herself as if cold. Her hair was somewhat organized, considering she had slept with it lose and hadn't brushed it, and she was wearing the same black sleeveless shirt and tight jean shorts she had worn yesterday. His eyes searched hers but all he could find was confusion and a little embarrassment wallowing in her ruby orbs
Embarrassed? Why would she be embarrassed?
Both of the teens stood there looking at each other for a few minutes and Kai was uncomfortably reminded of the night before and the staring match they had held. Finally, Hilary broke eye contact and glanced at the ground and then into the next room, where the other boys were sleeping.
"Um...Kai, do you know where my bag is, you know, the one with my clothes?"
Her bag? What is she talking about?
Anger was slowly bubbling up a brewing storm under Kai's calm surface. Disbelief hinted on everything in his features from the raised brows to the slightly open mouth.
She can't act like she did last night and then pretend that it didn't happen Her bag? What is she playing at?
But she was looking at him expectantly, even more so when he didn't answer her right away. The girl in front of him looked...innocent. Like she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary and he was the one who was acting weird. She had finally quit avoiding his eyes and was looking straight into them, her brow lined with a frown.
"Kai?"
Still he didn't answer. Soft sounds of snoring filtering from the other room was the only sound that could be heard in the still dojo as Kai stood there, letting his anger boil up higher and higher. Hilary's frown had now been replaced with worry in arched brows and she took a step toward him.
"Kai...what's wrong?"
A frown started to bloom on his face as he answered her with harsh tone. "What do you mean, where is your bag!? Don't you remember last night? You have some explaining to do!"
Kai closed his eyes embracing once again, his calm mask of serenity. When he opened them he was surprised to see Hilary with an expression of pure shock on her face slowly being replaced by fear...
Staring into those crimson beauties seemed to bring it all crashing back like a tidal wave that threatened to consume Hilary. It felt like a huge hand over her throat was squeezing the life out of her, every breath at a time. Her ears were blocked by the sound of ringing, as if her brain was giving her an alarm signal. She took a step back, and then another as her eyes got wider and wider. The frightened fury of last night came back to her in flashes and the wild animal sense that had taken over came back again. But enough of her sanity stayed and she remembered all that had taken place.
So stupid...
I will fight and win
Oh, God...god, please help me...
It's gone...never gonna come back...
My life is over...
Different tones swirled in her head, all of them belonging to her voice. Her hands went to her head and her breath became labored. It felt as if a huge baseball was lodged in her throat as tears started to appear in her eyes. Fighting the madness that was telling her to run she started to mutter to herself.
"I will win."
I won't let this feeling take me over and lose my sanity. I won't hurt my friends again!
Hilary turned blindly and staggered out of the kitchen and into the deserted hallway, tears now falling freely. Small sobs erupted and she wrapped her arms around herself trying to calm down.
"Hilary. It's o.k."
She turned and hung her head from Kai in shame. She couldn't believe she would hurt him like she had last night when she had lost control. The sobs became more insistent and now shook her whole body as she readied her self for a complete breakdown. But sorrow was soon replaced by shock as warm arms twined their way around her and elbows rested just above her breasts.
"It's o.k."
Hilary's sobs slowly subsided as she took in the fact that the warm, breathy voice, whispering comfortingly by her ear, was Kai's. She closed her eyes as the sensation of his calming words took affect and her sobs slowly turned to sniffs. When at last there was silence, except for Kai's voice, his arms removed themselves and gripped her shoulders, turning her around to face him. His crimson eyes met hers and she was again surprised to see the wall that usually blocked his feelings was lessened slightly. But he still carried a coldness about him that was as frigid as ice.
"Now, tell me what is wrong."
Hilary's guard went immediately up as she realized what he wanted. She couldn't tell him, she couldn't tell anyone right now. She needed time to recover and cope, and most of all needed to figure out what she as going to do. A huge gap was in her life now and she needed to fill it until...until...
"Hilary...please tell me what is wrong..."
Hilary lowered her head so she wouldn't have to meet his eyes. Her heartbeat picked up as she gulped trying to moisten her throat. Kai had to lean in even closer to here her whisper of an answer.
"I can't... please understand...I just can't..."
Author note: Yay!!! I am done the first part of my fic in what...four chapters? Don't get the wrong idea though, there is still a lot more to come... I think. There might be a little bit of a delay because I have to figure out exactly how I am going to plan the rest of the plot line. But don't worry, I'm pretty sure there is still lot's more to come. And yes, I know, Kai was a little occish in this chapter but that's the way the story is written my friends! R&R! And for those of you who live in Canada, hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!!!
