Author Note: Hey! I'm back with a new chapter! Now, I forgot to mention in the last chapter that Kai was a little bit out of character. But I mean, if he never went out of character where would the story be? He has to come loose sometime and stop being so cold. He was just awakened to childhood memories. Anyways, I've thought about this a lot and I've finally decided. If you have read my profile, I have mentioned this in there, but I believe I'm going to write a Trilogy of KaixHilary fictions. They won't necessarily be connected though, just the same genre (angst/romance) and about KaixHilary. I'm going to give them all one big name. Anyways, to my real point, I've worked out what I think I'm going to call the next fiction and am working on the plot-line. Don't get the wrong idea, just because I'm working on the next one doesn't mean that this story is almost over. Still at least 10-15 or more chapters to go. Depending on how well this story is going will deicide on how soon I post the next story. But, I'll probably finish this one first.

Reviewer responses! Yay! You guys make me so happy!

Goddess-Hope- Well, it wasn't an exact mistake…just when I read the chapter over it was just seemed wrong somehow. Thank-you for the review and the compliments. Those poems I put up are from a song called 'Right in Front of You' (or at least it's what I thinks its called) by Celine Dion. I thought it fit the story well. When are you going to update 'Our Secret'? I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Nubia- Thank-you for the review! I'm glad that I inspire someone to write! That makes me very glad! I liked the end the best as well. I love writing about children. They're just so…innocent. Anyways, sorry 'bout the long wait for this chapter. You know with Christmas and everything, I was gone for two weeks where there wasn't a computer.

Kami's right hand girl- Thank-you for reviewing. Yes, I know its un-Kai-like but if Kai never went out of character, where would the story be? Anyways, I think Kai could act like that if the writers of Beyblade made it so. If you look at how much he opened up to the Bladebreakers in the first season, I really believe that he could act like I wrote him to be. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter.

Chibi-Kari- Thank-you for the review and compliments! I very much enjoy writing about childhood memories and such. I think the Bladebreakers would freak if they saw Kai playing tag! Sorry for not updating in so long. I hope you like this chapter, even though it a sort of pointless, but I have a feeling you'll like the next chapter even better!

Hutchy- Thank-you for the review! I really thought Kai needed to have help in the fun department. Sometimes he's such a prick! Oh well, good thing Hilary was there to show him how.

Mrs. Sumpter-Thanks for the review and thank-you you very, very much for all the compliments! I really liked writing the section in which Kai changed. It made me so happy to make him and Hilary so joyful! I really like writing about childhood memories and such. I find children amazing. They're just so…innocent and naive to the horror of society around them. I think it's a real crime that children starve in Africa etc. it makes me so sad! I'm glad I helped you appreciate your childhood. It's something none of us should forget because it makes us who we are today. Anyways, it's totally cool being in a rock band! Of course, I've always wanted to play the drums as well but in the band I play in now I play the keyboard and with 8 years of piano under my belt I'm pretty experienced. The band really does rock though because everyone has quite a bit of experience with his or her instruments! Sorry for not updating in a while and I hope that you have good luck with learning the drums!

CyberWarriorRose- Thank-you for the compliments and the review. I'm very glad that you like my story and I hope you'll enjoy the remainder of it as well!

Norestar-angel- Thank-you for the review and I'm glad that you like my story! I'm happy you took the time to read this Beyblade story even though you don't usually read them. Hopefully, you will enjoy the remainder of the story; though I have a feeling if you liked the beginning you'll enjoy the end as well!

LightningAurora- Thanks for the constant reviews! I really enjoyed letting the two of them (Kai and Hilary that is) feel some joy, because they've been having it pretty rough lately. I completely agree. We should all learn to appreciate the joy of simple pleasures. It keeps us from getting to greedy. The sunset paragraph was written to give a somewhat foreshadowing affect, which I'm sure it accomplished to some extent. Sometimes I go out to watch sunsets, to give me inspiration and one in particular jumped into mind when I went to write that paragraph.'…transforming the elegant scenery to look like nothing more than dark silhouettes in a play' was exactly what I saw one day when I went out and I thought it would be perfect for the story, since it was one of the most poetic sunsets I have ever seen. Thank-you for your compliments and I hope that you like the next chapter!

Beaten But Not Broken- I am really very sorry for not updating soon, but if you look at my author's note at the bottom it all explains it there. The next chapter will be up sooner though. KaixHilary is also one of my favorite pairings and I'm glad that you enjoy reading my story! Thank-you for the review and compliments!

Random Reviewer- A very…scattered review from the Random Reviewer. But, interesting all the same. I'm glad you liked the title of the chapter; I think about my titles carefully before choosing them! It was rather funny when Kai slammed into the rock. Just when he starts to let his guard down bam! He slams into a rock! That was kind of mean of me, but oh well. With pleasure comes pain. Very interesting theme song you've got going…can't wait until you work out the bugs and have it finished! I hope you like this chapter and the next one and so on a so forth…

Heaven's Call

Realizing Passion…

That the love was always there,

Was around us everywhere,

I had to fall to finally see

That you were right in front of me…

Her ruby eyes flashed as ebony pupils darted to and fro, searching innocently. Small olive leaves and twigs hung in thick bounty before her face and scratched at her sides. Faint sounds of laughter and voices filtered along a path, shaded by tall, graceful willow trees located in front of where she was sitting. But no one could be seen in any direction except behind her, where the ground gave way to the shining waters of the lake and people picnicked and walked on the other side. The most deserted area of the park surrounded her in silence as she sat, waiting.

Suddenly a whirring sound shattered the quiet of the dusk. Hilary muffled a scream as a blue blur flew past her left eye and disappeared again in the dense brush of the bush on the other side of her. She quickly scrambled, on her hands and knees, to the path in front of her and jumped up, not looking in the direction of where the blue object had come from. Her brow knitted with ferocious concentration but a smile played along her lips as she quickened her pace into a lope. She could hear the whirring sound again, but she concentrated harder on the light footfalls she knew were following her. She laughed as she heard the person to whom the footfalls belonged to call out in frustration.

"Come on Hilary! I found you, so that means you're it! Isn't that how the rules are written?"

Her amusement in the person's apparent crossness made her now fully bloomed smile to change into a quicksilver laugh that transformed the surrounding landscape to a more beautiful scene than before. She called back, her answer filled with immaturity.

"Nope! To catch me you have to actually touch me or it doesn't count. Anyways, the rules for Hide and Seek are unwritten. Jeeze Kai! Haven't you ever played Hide and Seek before!?"

The person in question smirked slightly, knowing full well that he hadn't ever played such a game in his life. You could even say fun wasn't in his dictionary. His whole life was made up of a combination of playing perfect and training to be that way. That was why he never wanted to get to close to anyone. Emotions only get in the way of perfection and he could not afford to lose any more than he already had. But tonight…tonight was different. He had always felt deep down that there was something else, something more in this world than just perfection. At night the stars called to him, urging him to find out what that something was. They sang to him a song of grief and pain but with it fulfillment and complete ecstasy. A secret desire burned down deep in his heart to find out what it would be like to live without trying to be the best. Without worrying every day if he was good enough or strong enough or fast enough. Just to live. Simply live his life in peace without all the stress and pain. Tonight he wanted to slip out of his leash of a life for just a while. He wanted to be free and he wanted to be free with the ruby-eyed girl, running for all she was worth, right in front of him.

Kai's eyes traveled down towards the ground where his Dranzer was spinning with held in energy. He smirked again and called back to her.

"Well, if I have to touch you then I can at least do it with my blade, right? If the rules are unwritten that means I can change them! Go Dranzer!"

At hearing his call his blade picked up in velocity and surged forward. Hilary turned her head back and her eyes widened as she saw Dranzer make up for the speed Kai didn't have. Her smile gave way to grim determination.

"That's not fair! When I'm it, how am I supposed to catch you?"

Kai laughed at the immaturity of her question and picked up on speed himself. His feet pounded the gravel and sent it flying into the air. Hilary let put a shriek of laughter as Kai approached and dodged his out stretched hand by inches. Her hair went flying into her eyes and she almost tripped on Kai's blade, which had circled around the front of her. But her balance gave away and she tittered at the edge of a weed patch before falling down on her butt, hard.

Small, white dandelion seeds flew up into the air and gently spiraled down to land on Hilary's hair and face. Silence once again resumed in the park. Hilary groaned and rolled over, her head resting in the bed of weeds. Kai stood only meters away, eyeing her. She eyed him carefully, but there seemed to be an unspoken agreement between them to rest for a while. Gratefully she let her limbs relax slightly and turned her eyes to the rest of the park.

Small patches of mist were seeping through the park in the failing light. With the tall willows and oaks it looked as though they were in an enchanted forest. Hilary wrinkled her nose in disgust; she had never liked forests. They were too closed in, the trees to close together. She had always preferred fields where she could feel the wind whisper past her ear and let the sun's rays touch her skin.

Hilary turned to look at Kai again and was surprised to see him analyzing her. His eyes widened slightly at her returned stare but did not look away. Embarrassment touched her mind as his eyes searched her over, like he was searching for something. His gaze was so penetrating she could almost feel the soft caress of it touch her skin. It made her immediately aware of whom Kai actually was, which she had so conveniently forgot the rest of the evening. Captain of the Bladebreakers, her friend's friend, her friend and the thought that insistently popped into her mind though she tried to push it back a male. Faint red appeared on her cheeks and she cleared her throat.

"Um…Kai? Do you want to play again? I'll be it this time."

Kai didn't answer right away. His crimson eyes had traveled back up to meet her ruby ones. Heart beating ever faster Hilary slowly got up from the now crumpled weed patch. She glanced down at herself subconsciously as his gaze continued to pin her down to see if there was a stain or something that could attract Kai's unbreakable attention. His voice startled her actions.

"Sure. Catch me if you can!"

She glanced up startled to find him running towards her at a great speed. A frightened squeak escaped her lips and she scrambled back, only to be dragged down on the ground by the weed patch again. She closed her eyes and readied herself for the impact. But it never came. She opened her eyes to find him smirking at her from a couple meters away, with his Dranzer in his hand. Slight anger and embarrassment streaked through her body.

So. He was only running at me to get his blade.

Hilary sat up indignantly. Her anger evaporated only to be replaced by amusement. Her wolfish smile complimented her attitude and heightened the feeling of tension in the air. Kai locked on her concentrated gaze and tensed, ready for flight. In one swift movement she jumped to her feet and lunged forward. Kai bolted and the game was on.

"When I catch you you'll be sorry!"

"That is if you ever do catch me!"

Hilary's growl was filled frustration and amusement boiled under the surface of her mock anger. Determination fueled her mind and pushed her failing legs to travel faster. Kai still remained ahead though. The reach of his legs were longer than hers twice over, however hard she forced her legs to pump.

"Kai! It's not fair! You're faster then me and I don't blade!"

Hilary shout echoed along the now deserted park and Kai turned back at the slight note of despair in it. A wickedly, sly idea entered his thoughts and silently he picked up his speed. Now running full out, Hilary had no chance in keeping up to him and he left her spouting furious curses behind him. He made a sharp turn left and almost tumbled over the edge of a miniature sand cliff. Turning on his heel he surveyed the small, neat bushes surrounding him. Silent and sleek as a cat he slipped into a thicket of tightly knit branches.

Hilary arrived, breath stinging her lungs. Her legs ached with the strain of keeping up to the champion beyblader and her heartbeat threatened to consume her chest. Her eyes scanned the terrain of the park but saw no sign of the slate-haired teen. Her brows knitted into a frown and her hands snaked to her hips. A loud sigh of frustration emitted from her lips. Her eyes moved to the steep drop of the cliff. Hilary's body moved forward to look over the edge and saw that the drop was not as far as it looked. Kai could have jumped and landed safely in the sand. Grass and tiny white baby's breath melded in to the calm licking waters of the lake, beside the sand.

The sigh that followed her prediction was filled with defeat.

"Oh, Kai. How am I supposed to catch you now?"

A hand grabbed her arm in an iron grip and she gasped out loud. Warm body heat cradled her from behind and the grip loosened slightly. The spark of danger had left her eyes and Hilary recognized the grip on her arm and the familiar body behind her as Kai's. A heat started to creep up her cheeks and light her eyes with an ardor. She bit the side of her cheek with frustration but her racing heart would not stop from beating a million beats a minute. She relaxed into him anyway. But when he spoke his voice was laced with mischief and Hilary no longer felt safe in his arms.

"Don't worry. I'll go easy on you…"

And with the vow seemingly concluding their game, Kai shoved. The damp sand at the very edge of the miniature cliff, gave way and both of them went tumbling straight to the sand below.

Author's Note: Yes, I know, a somewhat pointless, short chapter but it leads into a very important one! The next chapter will give you clues on how this stories going to end and it will still be KaixHil! Yay! I'm sorry about the long wait for this chapter. My family dragged me over to my grandmother's house for two weeks. Just a note, she lives in the middle of nowhere, smack dab in an aspen forest. Yeah…and she doesn't have a computer. But then I got home and was all lazy because it was holidays and everything and so I didn't update till now. I'm also entering this writing contest and between writing this and that, I have no inspiration left. But I'll do my best!!! I hope everybody had an excellent Christmas and a Happy New Year! R&R and summit your very valued opinions!
