Kaihil fanfiction: without wasting your time any further, let's on with this fic.
GOU'S PARENTS CONV.N_
"Kai, we have to change the plans RIGHT NOW! I just received unknown signals of ancient bit-beast. someone definitely unsealed it but the biggest problem is, suddenly, I received signals from Tyson's old place! HIKARI IS THERE!!" adult Hilary informed her husband. he could clearly sense the panic in her voice.
"SHIT!!!!...hil calm down and take deep breath and tell me where is gou! and your plans!" kai tried to reduce her stress. he knew her tension wouldn't take them anywhere and he was only holding his emotions also.
"my only kids are in danger and you are telling me to breathing calmly!!" it hurt the most when things comes on their kids. they clearly had done nothing wrong then why their kids had to face this blizzard of problems.
"so your anger can solve this problem? then go for it" and kai was also losing himself as his grip was slipping away.
"that's not what I mean... you know very well that I don't give a damn to ancient bit-beast but nothing should happen to kids!" once again, Hilary's mother side spoke, he wouldn't give a damn to others, even she was ready to pay the fine for losing the antique item which belonged to her lab.
"don't worry! I wouldn't let anything happen to them. we will get them back save and soon and now tell me about gou and what's your plan!" he vowed to her over the phone. For once, he hoped he was there to hold her, to soothe her and let her cry in his arms until she collected herself.
"I-I can't... I can't find the signals of his radar. nothing is showing on the screen" Hilary's sobbing was so long that her voice kept cracking. she was losing hope.
"means!!" kai demand for conclusion.
"means...his radar maybe not working or broke due to reading access amount of potential, no wonder afterall kenny invented that rader to catch small amount of energy of only sealed bit-beast but now, the situation is different, that's jerks unsealed the ancient bit-beast without knowing the circumstances" thank to gawd her voice wasn't cracking anymore.
"what you mean circumstances?" kai asked to know more details.
"darling, we aren't in our current time. we are in past! uhhh...!! I will explain later but first, the plan is, we have to split up. I want you to..."
.
.
.
"AHHH!! DRANZER ATTACK!" kai ordered dranzerV2 to attack that mysterious bit-beast.
'I've to save hilary, no matter what otherwise I wouldn't be able to face myself. I'VE TO DEFEAT THESE PUNKS!!!' kai thought.
"Wha-" Kai's eyes widened when his opponent dodge his Beyblade without any affords 'something is off about his techniques and beyblade mechanism' he narrowed his eyes, creating pressure on his brain, analysing every moment, thinking about a way to defeat his mysterious opponent.
"Hilary, what's the speciality of that ancient bit-beast? how dangerous it can be!!" Kai asked while they follow their plan.
"Setsuko has very high vocal cords, I'm not into music and stuff but she is really good in singing, whoever hears her melodious song falls in deep sleep" Hilary answered from other side of the phone.
"attacks and critics?" kai asked in short.
"her critical attacks are more dangerous and powerful" hilary answered.
"mechanism and techniques?"
"as far as I researched, she attacks from sides the most when the attack starts with lullaby like sound which can fell you in sleep within minutes, the stronger the faster, the higher notes reaches, she immediately freezes her opponent with tuning fork like sound effect around in 5 seconds which can make your ears bleed if used in full power and same goes to your bit-beast but for this the Beyblade has to be stay in same position, a slight dislocation and the attack wouldn't be there anymore and she has to go for it again. If the attack gets too strong, she even can kill their both opponent and bit-beast" hilary explain the mechanism in short, so at the very least kai could understand.
"and?" he sensed something hidden in her answer. he knew his wife had something more to say but didn't want to say.
"and, *takes deep breath* then umm..she plays her final song or you can say attack, it's calls death tune and...ummm she is...kind of different from other bit-beasts b/c she is wild bit-beast who didn't had any keeper. if those idiots failed to hold on setsuko, eventually they will lose control over her and- KAI, WE CAN'T LET ANYONE TO DIE! WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE FUTURE DON'T CHANGE" she refused to imagine what would happen next if she freed from her Beyblade.
"what! WHY THE HECK YOU KEEP SUCH DANGEROUS STUFFS IN YOUR LAB!" kai yelled on other side while also running to that the location which Hilary sat for him.
"UHH! can we do this later? please!!!" Hilary sweat-dropped, she knew a complete lecture was waiting for her at home.
ON OTHER SIDE_
"DRANZERV2, VOLCANO EMISSION ATTACK!!" kai ordered as he was partially extinguished after dodging from his opponent's moves, kai knew something was very off about that ancient bit-beast which he didn't feel right. The attacks were so powerful that it left no choice expect dodging for DranzerV2, one hard hit and they would be out.
"what happened! already chickened out! BHAHAHAHAHA!! you Hiwataris are no worth for real! don't you want to save your future family!?" he asked with dirty grin on his smitty mouth and laughing like manic.
"GRRR!!!!! DRANZERV2 FIRE ARROW ATTACK!" kai's used his one of fastest attacks. it's the attack where dranzer's feathers turned sharp and glow with fire in the ends and he launched them with gust of wind like move.
"DEFEND!" the thief ordered and setsuko defended herself by dodging with the speed of sound like she teleported 'CATCHA!' the thief thought b/c now dranzer was very near his Beyblade.
"DRANZER!! KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!!" kai ordered dranzer to destroy his opponent, he couldn't order straight since so much was going on in his head. Long story short, he indirectly told Dranzer to end this match.
"SETSUKO!!! ATTACK!!!" he shouted on her to go with usual once, so he could save more potential for the most dangerous attack and he also wanted kai to ran out of stamina sooner.
.
.
Kai's beyblade almost hit his opponent's but when he heard the name of his opponent's bit-beast, he shocked with familiar feelings. he definitely had heard this name somewhere else, before. Dranzer took a loop to hit setsuko again as Kai focused on his match again.
"DAD! DON'T!!" Gou yelled in shrill voice which came out of the blue and caught the attention of both beybladers. he knew about setsuko's attack. he was aware of her attacks and techniques. this match had no good b/c not only kai but this thief could die.
"hn?" before kai could understand his interruption it was-
"TOO LATE!!!" the thief grinned again.
"setsuko! time pause!" he ordered his Beyblade but she didn't listen to him "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!! OBEY ME!! I'M YOUR MASTER!!"
"what?" kai clearly didn't it but he got an idea that this guy didn't had full control over this setsuko bit-beast. it's an advantage for him.
"Dranzer! fire arrow!" it hit her and she screamed in pain, even her yelling was melodious like someone played violin but it's not time for applause.
It outraged setsuko and she attacked a different move by herself.
"IT'S AN ATTACK! She will come from sides" gou yelled while upgrading his Beyblade at same time so he could contribute to kai. he was so busy with finding setsuko that he totally forgot to upgrade his Beyblade.
"USE, DEFENSE! NOW" he commanded kai, trying to focus and analyse the match while regrading dranzer MF 0.5
"Dranzer! FIRE SPIN!" luckily father-son duo had some coordination. well as you all know dranzer when it comes to defense since his attack ring was different and not built for defence type Beyblade.
"SETSUKO! DEATH TUNE!" The thief ordered his bit-beast for the final attack.
'NO!' Gou gasped at what he heard. Hilary definitely taught gou about this ancient bit-beast. he knew what this attack meant, they were in big danger!
"dranz--" before gou could launch his Beyblade and stopped this disaster, that tuning fork sound torn their eardrums.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" kai and gou both squeezed their eyelids, screamed at the top of their lungs and covering their ears to prevent the painful tune but it was futile.
Kai almost fell on his knee but gou held his ground, gritted his teeth and walked near setsuko.
"Dranzer! ATTACK!!" gou launched his Beyblade with full force at the ancient bit-beast and stopped the death tune attack. he successfully stopped her. whenever setsuko used her this attack, it's always easy to knock out her Beyblade.
Kai took advantage and attacked too.
"DRANZER VOLCANO EXCELLENT EMISSION" he used his trump card to put the full stop on this match.
DranzerV2 hit on the spot, took one more loop and hit the same spot again and again with more impact.
"YES!!!" both kai and gou cheered. now they have to keep it on pace.
"ahh!" Hilary opened her eyes and groaned when she felt a sharp pain in the back side of the head.
"where am I?" she mumbled in her breath as she found herself in the empty room "WHA- WAIT!!!! WHERE IS MY HIKARI!!!!" her eyes widened to see hikari's absence but she spotted a pink ribbon lying on the floor which definitely belonged to hikari-chan. she rushed to grabbed it.
"HIKARI!!!!!!!"
"ahh! can you keep your loud mouth shut! I'm busy here!" a strange deep voice came out of nowhere, sooner hilary noticed the source of the voice, it was coming out of the speaker. she clinched her fist and put the ribbon back in her short's pocket.
"WHO ARE YOU!!!!! AND WHERE IS MY CHILD!!!" she demanded for little-hikari.
"oww! isn't like she is actually your daughter yet, hehh! drop the act!" he commented with shitty smirk, only b/c he held the precious nerve of Hiwataris(yet Tachibana), so of course hilary couldn't complaint "and here you should think about yourself first, if anything happens to you she wouldn't exist!" he said the logical fact. Hilary gritted her teeth.
"WHAT THE-" she almost swore.
"You know what I think, I should get rid of you already but I let you go for now" he taunt like he was some gawd!
"if you let me live then there must be a reason!!!" Hilary continued the meaningless conversation.
"yeah! there has but you know what, right now I'm bored. so let's play a game. if you succeed to find your daughter-to-be then I will let you live..." great! so now he wanted to play games, that pissed off her, what else had left "a little longer...BHAHAHAH!!" he laughed, someone needed to inform him that wasn't funny at all for her.
"YOU!!! JUST WATCH! I will find her and also get away from this disgusting place before you know!" Hilary heard the click sound of door knob, this guy unlocked it on purpose. now if he actually started the game then let's begin. she came out with full speed and looked both directions of the corridor, now one she should take. Hilary had rough ideas about building's structure but if this guy unlocked the door it means he might be in security room right now, maybe Hikari-chan would be with him. the security room usually was on either ground floor or underground floor.
First step, looking for staircase. after almost taking a round on the present floor she finally found the stairs but they were locked by the bars.
"SHIT!!!!" she gritted her teeth as her patience were running out 'what now?'
Suddenly the lift on the left side opened with tin sound, now it turned into rat and cat's game.
'whoever he is, he is doing this on purpose!!' she thought twice before taking the lift, she remembered he said think about herself but then the thoughts of little-hikari came in her mind. In the end of third chapter, she and kai promised they wouldn't let anything happen to their precious thing.
Hilary ran into the lift, she also noticed the little rectangular screen above gate showed that she was on 2nd level.
hilary immediately pressed the button for ground floor but it didn't work. he was controlling everything. DAMN IT!!
"WHY YOU DOING THIS!!!" Hilary yelled in the lift even though no one was there but she knew he was watching.
"aww man! finally you opened your eyes and here I thought you already died. it's boring, you know. I just want to have fun and you already want to end this play. we just started yet!" he chuckled on their side of speaker. Hilary couldn't see but she sensed him grinning ear to ear.
"BUT WHY ME!!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!"
"you asking me? why you? HAHAHAHA!" "it's b/c of you why we are like this but right now we want to show you your place bish. do you think you have your husband to take your back all time, so you can do anything! you are nothing without him! and right now, it's fun for me to see you suffering! after sll it's you who started this all, I mean 'will start in future' that's why we sidewise plan to kill you in this time so the problem will never grow further!" he explained his plan. I never understood why these villains explained their plans?
"..." Hilary didn't get all the things he was saying but she definitely got that she had to get out of this place immediately.
"WHY HIKARI-CHAN!!! KEEP HER OUT OF YOUR DIRTY PLAY!" she yelled out of anger.
"play properly b/c if you die she wouldn't exist, professor!"
"wha-?" before she could say any further, the lift stopped on 1st floor. 'did he call just me professor?' She thought as her strings of curiosity tightened
"you are running out of time! your Hikari-chan don't have all day!" he reminded her with evil grin.
Kai and gou ordered their dranzers to attack on setsuko before she took her chance. Kai's Dranzer went slightly faster, also b/c it was near the opponent's beyblade. DranzerV2 tossed in air and hit her Beyblade from top but unfortunately gou's attack missed, he couldn't concentration properly. no doubt he needed to practice more, kai was right though.
Setsuko was slightly unbalanced but gawd knew how she speed up and spinned towards gou. it all happened in the matter of milliseconds that it hard to decide about next steps for him. All he could do was, crossed his arms to protect over his face and lowered down his head. Kai had to do something, in this situation, gou was more important than anything else to him, his brain stopped working the moment he noticed the details.
"DRANZER!!!" Kai summoned his dranzer.
'where should go now!' Hilary thought as nothing crossed her mind. Maybe there had any way to get out of this place. the place was more like abandoned factory rather than office building then WAIT!! if it's an factory that meant there had to be duct system for ventilation. Amazing! she looked up and there you go. Not always paths are beneath your feet sometimes they are above you.
Now next question, how to get in, I meant, let's be rational. I'm not going to write hilary turned into spider woman or something and defeated that thief. Hilary was just, hilary. here she wanted to save her precious little thing.
Little-Hikari opened her eyes and found herself in mysterious place which was covered with trees and land. It was full moon night, the sounds of forest animals were so sweet and pure just like Hikari-chan.
She rubbed her big eyes with her tiny little fists, stood up on her tiny feets and turned around her bobbley-head to look her surroundings to know where she was. she didn't even realise her twin tail untied. (O.O)
"huh!" hikari-chan uttered in her wholesome cute voice as she saw a big bright baby pink moon was above her, it felt so near that she reached out her cute little hands to touch it, she had never had seen this much big moon in her life, she was also unable to recognise the place.
"mum-ma?" she called for hilary in her loud voice which make her word to crack a little but still sound super-duper cute. she said it when she found herself alone. (ÓnÒ)
"pap-pa?(papa?)" As she failed to find anyone, it scared her. it might be her first time being all by herself. this new feeling and silence was scaring her. (.Ó﹏Ò.)
but...
*ummmmmmMMMMMMMUMUMMMMUMMM*
Suddenly, she heard a beautiful soothing voice came from all the direction. it was like someone was calling her, asking for help like they were in pain. (an: If you are getting Fr0zen 2 vibes then I'm telling you I came up with this idea by myself, no copying. I later released it sounds like fr0zen 2)
"huuh!" Hikari-chan had never heard such an elegant tune, she wanted to know more about it. she definitely had no information about voice textures, pitches and vocals but it was the most beautiful song for her.
"hellu!(Hello!)" little-hikari chirped loudly but she frightened as her voice echoed. Even tho, she didn't noticed but it's impossible for sounds to ego in forests. hikari-chan ran with her tiny legs as fast as she could without falling. she followed that melodious voice and found the source sooner. (ÓヮÒ)
It was an average elephant size blueish-white reindeer like creature who was glowing and had cherry blossoms branches as her horns. Hikari-chan had no idea about the thing that, this was the ancient bit-beast who was the reason behind her presence in this time.
Hikari-chan went near her without thinking that she could be dangerous or hurt her!
Setsuko never trusted humans to be her keeper after whatever happened with her mother. Setsuko's mother's keeper took the advantage of her power for wrong stuffs which took him on the path where setsuko's mother's and the keeper destroyed themselves. She promised herself that she would never trust the humans again. It had been long since she vowed to herself. Time after time, eras after eras, she was still alone but didn't regret b/c human being didn't changed at all. they were selfish and they are still selfish, only think about themselves. She didn't let anyone to come near her. it was first time when someone was able to enter in her realm. they had to be completely pure to enter and who could be more pure than our Hikari-chan.
Hikari-chan surprised her, how could she entered in. she lift her head to look at hikari-chan.
*uuuummmmmmmm...*
"why yuu saddy-sad!? arre yuu hult?(why are you sad? are you hurt?)" Gawd knew how Hikari-chan could understood setsuko while no one could, not even hilary. hikari could feel the pain in her voice. but how?
*uuuuuuuuummmm*
"oh ho! hikari-chan nu undal-sstan-d, what-t yuu sa-y? (oh ho! I no(don't) understand, what are you saying?)" Little-hikari confusingly, tilted her head and put her both hands on her waist, b/c she wanted more clear answers from setsuko.
*uuuuuuuuummmm*
"how can you understand me?" she spoke again. how could this little-girl can talk to her, understand her words, understand her tune??? just how?
"b-cuj, yuu talk(because you are talking)" (ÒuÒ) Hikari-chan tilted her head but this time she felt weird instead of confusion.
Setsuko didn't know she had ability to sweat-drop.
"who you came with?" setsuko asked as she wanted to know the human's way to enter in her realm.
"hikari come wi-th mumma *making a sad crybaby face* but-t mumma loss-t!- (I came with mumma, but she got lost!-)" (ónò) hikari-chan mushroom signed like she was responsible for not taking care of Hilary (-_-')
Setsuko thought it's Hikari-chan who got lost but when she heard 'mumma' word, she got emotional since she also had good and very deep relationship with her mother.
"but-t my mumma ij vely stlong- (but my mumma is very strong-)" Hikari-chan continued her sentence but she said 'very strong' words in English which sounds even more cute with her childish accent, she proudly smiled with closed eyes. (u‿u) "-my mumma plotech-te Hikari-chan! so Hikari-chan nu hult!(my mumma protect me, so that's why I no(didn't) get hurt)" here, Hikari-chan rewinded the scene where hilary's preventing her from falling but she also said 'protect' in English.
(AN: you know, you can't expect straight answers from kids. they don't what to say when, where, how, etc. so here she flew her talk, so they talk anything nonsense which sounds super cute)
Setsuko unwillingly got attached to Hikari's soul so she could understand what exactly she meant unlike kaihil who had to burn their brain cells to understand. She decided to kick Hikari-chan out from her realm b/c her talks were bringing back her bitter memories. she started to walk away.
"whele ij youl mumma?(where is your mumma?)" but our little Hikari-chan followed setsuko b/c she was the only living being she met here. she asked an unexpected question unintentionally.
"..." what she could say, my mother died b/c of you humans. Even she thought this had nothing to do with this little girl, so she didn't say or sing anything.
"youl mumma loss-t tuu?(your mumma got lost too)?" unintentionally Hikari-chan asked an another innocent question. she was definitely kind like her mother, she always wanted to help others b/c that's what Hilary taught both of her kids.
"yes!" setsuko coldly replied but didn't stop walking.
"ohh!" (ÓoÒ) Now that's news for Hikari-chan.she was feeling sorry for her (imaginary) friend, so she decided to help her.
"nu wolly! hikari-chan hel-p yuu, fine-d youl mumma! okie?(no(don't) worry! I will help you to find your mumma! okay?)" hikari-chan chirped energetically (ÓヮÓ) and waved her both hands in air, drawing setsuko's attention.
She stopped on her grounds as she touched by hikari's world. Hikari-chan definitely had no idea about deeply she make her feel. Setsuko's thoughts changed slightly, maybe this little human being was different but once she grew up she would be like other evil Human.
"hikari-chan nu lea-v yuu, till wi fine-d youl mumma (I no(wouldn't) leave you, until we find your mumma)" Hikari-chan chirped with very big smile, she wanted to help her b/c it was in her nature.
Setsuko cried from inside b/c she knew she couldn't meet her mother again, b/c she had gone.
*uuummm*
"you wouldn't leave me?" she repeated hikari's words in short as she turned to look down at her.
"nu! hikari-chan nu lea-v yuu (no. I no(wouldn't) leave you)" she answered in giggling way as setsuko softly talked to her. Hikari-chan had ability to make friends anytime, anywhere.
"then promise me!" setsuko's asked for a promise, so she couldn't feel like Hikari-chan said anything senselessly even though she was a toddler.
"hikari plo-miss (hikari-promise!)" hikari-chan promised her and forward her hand for handshake like she was asking for candy.
"Hikari-promise!" setsuko put her hoof on hikari's palm without applying any pressure.
*uuuumm*
"help!" what happening! did she spoke! no, they all were translations. Only Hikari-chan could understood setsuko's thoughts b/c they were talking through their souls.
"hel-pp? yuu wun-t hel-p?(help? you want help?)" hikari-chan slowly said in her cute voice.
"yes! help! I want to be free from here, so I can to back to my mother" setsuko answered, she was asking for help from human? no, she only trust Hikari-chan's innocence b/ she was a kid, and not any normal kid but totally pure one.
"flee?(free?)"
"free me!"
"but-t Hikari-chan nu knuw(but I don't know)" she didn't know what to do to help her. (O.o) setsuko sweat-dropped to hear this. let's keep Hikari-chan's personality aside but how could you promise to help someone else when you yourself needed help. hikari-chan was totally something out of this world.
"help me to free from here" she sang a painful tune even hikari-chan could understand the pain in her voice.
"ale yuu saddy-sad? (are you sad)?" hikari-chan asked in lowered voice as she slightly frowned. (Ónò)
"yes!!" setsuko answered.
"what's going on?" kai mumbled while his eyes were busy targeting setsuko.
"I don't know, either" gou replied with concern. The thief's Beyblade was going crazy and kept disobey his orders which also confused gou b/c it meant the all attacks and moves would be surprising for them since the bit-beast itself definitely them.
"how the freak he can use this Beyblade while the bit-beast herself isn't listening like. I just don't get it!?" kai yanked with frustration.
"I don't know exactly but mom said, it's b/c the Beyblade somehow have similar material which used to seal the bit-beast in stones. so it kept the bit-beast in control or you can control anybody's bit-beast in the Beyblade which is made up of same material"
"is everything only your mom says to you kids?" someone tell kai that, it was no time for sarcasm.
"well yeah! you either keep quiet or listen lecture with us" gou smirked.
"you got to say these stuffs right now!" kai narrowed his eyes.
"why blaming me! it's literally you started, dad" gou's smirk grew wider when kai turned his attention back to match.
"what's his Beyblade, man! it had no fuvking damage at all. how he created it!" he was running out his patience.
"you really think, these fuvking pests can make something like this. they also stole that Beyblade from mom's lab!" gou told kai
"your mom's what?" this time kai had to look at gou to see what he was saying.
"research lab! she is professor afterall!" gou didn't know that his parents didn't interact at all so knowing that hilary could create something like this definitely shocked him. of course she took kenny and Max's help to make this masterpiece.
"DAD! WATCH OUT!!!" Setsuko was so much in pain that she couldn't understand anything, everyone was her enemy or wanted to use her power for their own goods. she attacked the one of dranzer's keeper, it was kai. Before the Beyblade could hit him, gou came before him and setsuko's beyblade hit gou's back so forcefully that he fell forward and hit his forehead with wooden pillar and he passed out.
Ok! time stop! time stop! let's see from Kai's observation. so, what happened. he heard gou yelled, said "dad! watch out" he could feel the fear and tension for himself in his scream. this feeling was unknown to him, he never someone being this much respectful to him. gou loved him no doubt. he loved and cared about his both kids equally, no doubt. he pleased to know he also going to have gou in future, he thought gou was more responsible than he shows, who he was. no doubt. but once again how the heck this happened that his precious kid got brutally hit and lying on ground. kai felt like his body had frozen on it's place, he could feel his blood getting cold like his personality and his numb brain denied to understand which he didn't want to think about in trillions of years. he couldn't bear that, he refused to bear that. he ran to gou and held him in his arms, checked any serious injuries on his face. it all happened in seconds of fact that they barely could think about anything.
Something like a sharp needle pricked into his heart. it hurt, it turned harder for him to breath as he more saw gou. that hit was for him but gou took that instead.
"HOWW!!!! DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" kai had never been this raged in his whole life. he wouldn't get mad if thinks were about him but this case is different, it involved the people who were way more special to him. he couldn't stand that someone got fuvking audacity to hit his kid and kidnapped other kid while they know about them and didn't forget Hilary, he had never let anything happened to her even before his kids showed up.
"huh?" This time it scared the thief more than slightly. oh boi !! he definitely underestimated teen kai. everyone had to accept kai was no joke, didn't matter it's from past or future b/c kai was...KAI
"YOU ARE SO GONNA REGRET THAT YOU WILL BE SCARED TO EVEN CALL ME!!" kai stood up from his position and marked his feets.
"DRANZERV2!! VOLCANO EXCELLENT EMISSION !!!!!!!!!!!!" kai called DranzerV2 and a very outraged Dranzer came out from his deep sleep, like he was ready to burn this scum into ashes. the attack was something that no one had seen before, who knew dranzer held something like this into his feathers.
.
.
.
'I will go as far as I've to for Hikari-chan. I can't even afford to let her get scratched! I'm coming hikari. just don't feel scared. be brave" hilary determinededly thought as she was crawling in the vent.
'now where should I go, which was leads to stairs? SHIT' she cussed as she forgot the direction of stairs b/c everything was so freaking dark inside of the vents. and not to forget the dirt and dust which was collected in for years, was all over her. it was getting for her to inhale oxygen in rich air to inhale.
hilary used her senses and thought about the ways again and again until she was sure about her decision.
she took the 3rd one and after few minutes BINGO! she got the slanted portion. you know what did this mean, it meant she was above stare-case and if she kept moving forward, she would be on ground floor.
Hilary had to be careful here, b/c if not she will definitely slid down and banged her head.
'I've to be careful! he knows I'm in duct system but I can't let him know I'm here by making any noise' she thought, she made every move carefully.
"AHHH!!! NOW WHERE SHE IS!!!" the game was no more fun for this thief. looked like he underestimated her
"above you bastard!" she came from the ceiling of security room and hit him by kicking with the or cover as she jumped out.
"NOW!! YOU TELL ME!!! WHERE SHE IS!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, every second was taking her breaths away.
"and what if I don't?" he smirked and answer as he stood up on his feets again, thought, what else she could do to him, she was just a little girl and he was grown-up man but something unexpected happened.
"then ready to die!" a person kicked the door and came in.
"KAI HIWATARI!" He shouted, his eyes widened as he couldn't believe on his eyes.
"huh?" Hilary confused. once again, what did he say?...KAI? HIWATARI? so Kai finally arrived to save her. yey!! but hilary shocked and shuddered to see that it's not the kai Hiwatari she was familiar with. he was grown-up? Even though gou and Hikari came from future, her mind didn't come out with a thought that it's actually kai from future. Instead she took, she slept for years and kai grown up like happened in movies. BUT DAMN!!! was he hot? I meant hot-hot. YESS!!! HE WAS SUPER HOT AND GOOD-LOOKING! and aahhhhh!!! who would say he was father of two kids and one was literally 15.
"BUT HOW- WHY! WHY YOU- IN-IN T-THIS TIME!!!" he was so shocked that nothing came out of his mouth. if he was ready adult kai, the married one then his game was over. he could see the dead view infront of his eyes.
"you should think about saving your life instead this question" kai said.
"s-she is be-hind t-that door" the thief surrendered as he knew it was end.
"nice decision" kai was there to watch him but hilary rushed to the joined room where hikari was lying silently on chair "but heck in no way I will forgive you"
"HIKARI!!!" Hilary rushed to grab her in her arms. little-hikari was sleeping soundly.
"Thank god you are alright" hilary hugged her tightly as she was getting emotional. the dark and scary thoughts of something happened to her almost ate Hilary alive. it was second time when hikari fell in danger. of course, this time it's wasn't entirely her fault but she blamed herself.
Hilary held on the bullet train of her emotions and went back to adult kai. her eyes widened to see the thief was passed out on the floor and brutally beaten by kai and he was wiping the blood stains from his fists.
Hilary's eyes met kai's as time paused for her. She couldn't believe on her eyes. it was kai! KAI HIWATARI!!! ADULT KAI HIWATARI !! HER HUSBAND!!
Hilary's mind was stucked into a maze. she couldn't find words to talk to him, about himself, so she turned her attention.
"what did you do to him?" Hilary asked while little-hikari's head was dazing over Hilary's shoulder, her left plumpy cheek pressed against her shoulder base, making her look cuter.
"whatever he deserves!" kai asked straightly "what happened to hikari !!??" his eyes slightly widened when he noticed hikari's sleepy figure. he walked to her to check from near.
"hikari!!" he called her and shook her from back.
"I think she inhaled more sleeping gas, that's why she is still sleeping. if I woke-up then she can too but I hope they didn't do anything to her after" Hilary answered with frown and lowered her head.
"why are you frowning, it's not like it's your fault! everything is alright now" kai grabbed her chin with index finger and thumb and make her to look up at him.
Hilary's lips parted and heart beat fastened as much as it could. Wait!! was he really KAI!! bladebreaker's captain. since when he became so...so, nice!? kind!? and support? or what else we could say... understandable!! or whatever you like but she couldn't believe or expect such words from Kai's mouth.
"uh--huh!" she nodded once as she blushed again "thank you! *blinking twice and calming her breathing* for saving us!"
"why are you saying thank you, you did really well too plus this all is your idea. if your future one didn't plan everything then I wouldn't be here either, so one side, you should thanks yourself!" kai said with genuine smile and his voice was soft than usual too, she meant he wasn't keeping his tone hard and high pitched.
"let's go!" kai said and he drew his hands forward to take hikari but hilary stepped back with innocent-sad look.
"please no, I'm fine. let me hold her!" she requested
'so cute!' kai thought "ok!" he exhaled and closed his eyes "let me know if you get tired" he said and Hilary nodded.
"let's go but I've to call you first!" in the matter of time kai totally forgot to inform hilary (his wife).
"call me what?" Hilary confused as she titled her head.
'was she always this cute!' kai thought. he rolled his eyes and bought his phone out of his pocket.
"ohh!" she got this one.
"ale yuu hult?(are you hurt?)" hikari-chan asked innocently in her cute tune. at least she wasn't scared of her any more, her voice stopped cracking and turned back to normal. she was feeling lonely anymore.
"yes!!" setsuko coldly said, tbh, she was bit-beast version of kai.
"ohh!!! can Hikari-chan gi-v yuu kissy? youl ouchy will fly a-way!!(ohh!!! can I give you kissy? your ouchy will fly away!!)" hikari-chan innocently mentioned her cure for everything. her amethyst orbs brightened with the thought of helping other. she had big un-resistable smile on her lips.
Hikari-chan's pure and innocent question or should be said, little wholesome request melted the walls of the loneliness around her. setsuko smiled to see her purity. she knew hikari meant it, she did want to help, not because she was selfish or were behind her powers but, she genuinely want to help.
"yes!" First time setsuko smiled over thousands of thousands years.
(AN: setsuko: ok, this hooman being is mine now!
riti: *me in bkg with surprised pikachu face* setsuko, you too? using AN without my permission?
setkuko: 1, riti: 0)
Hikari-chan went near and hugged her. setsuko lowered down her head and connected an attachment with Hikari-chan. she finally found herself a perfect Partner after decades of eternity but could she trust humans?
"you are not like others but can I really trust you?" now it's her turn to play her part of this beautiful unbreakable bond.
"will you really keep your promise?" it was a very emotional stage for her to go through. she was going to be with one of those who was behind her mother's death.
"hikari-chan nu lie, Hikari-chan plo-miss yuu, b-cuj yuu ale Hikari-chan's frnd nao! (I no(don't) lie, I promised you b/c you are my friend now!)" hikari-chan chirped in her giggling tone with open smiled as her big amethyst eyes sparkled like stars. She was little excited too since she made a new friend.
hikari-chan kissed her forehead and suddenly she started to glow-up. it somehow made Hikari-chan excited that she jumped with joys and giggles. she had never experienced something like this before then she noticed setsuko were also glowing like her. they felt the attachment between them and setsuko cried in her happiness.
'friend! she called me friend!" she had someone who became her whole world to her. she finally got herself a keeper.
"yyyeeeeyyyeee!" hikari was excited to experience dreamy fantasy things like she was going to transform into fairy or something!
"thank you!" setsuko couldn't be happier. she finally found herself a keeper who wouldn't leave her, a keeper who would be her best friend.
"oh yuu- but-t who aale yuu?(oh you!- but who are you"
"I'm setsuko!" she politely answered genuine softness.
"suku?" (O.o)
"setsuko!" she repeated.
"suko?" (OuO) this time, hikari got something.
"setsuko!" but setsuko corrected her again.
"SUKO!!!!" (ÒヮÒ) hikari decided she would use as much she could understand. she couldn't pronounce 'setsu' part so she left 'set' behind and called her suko. she chirped happily to make one more Friend. (n.n)
"as you wish! my princess" Who knew bit-beast could sweat-drop too! looks like suko- I meant even setsuko couldn't resist hikari-chan's cuteness XD
"hellu suko! I'm Hikari-chan!" hikari introduced herself after their conversation and bonding.
"nice to meet you hikari! and thank you for setting me free from this place!" This realm wasn't some kind of normal realm but more like a jail for her. she was sealed here by humans Era's ago but she made it home fot herself as there was no ray of hope for her but now she was free from this curse, this jail.
"Hikari-chan nu knuw thish place. suko knuw thish place? (I no(don't) know where I'm, do you know where we are?)" Hikari-chan answered with confused look. she didn't
"yes! hikari-chan! this place is realm, I live here"
"ohh! rea-lii?(ohh! really?)" she clearly didn't get anything but she got the I-live-here part. (O.O)
"yes!" she nodded.
"suko live-d in thish su su su su su su su *out of breath even tho she was in parallel realm where only souls can go* su su su su su su... big place, all a-lone?(you lived in this so so ...so big place alone?)" hikari-chan asked as she rolled her fist and bought it near her lips.
"yes!" she smiled to hear her keeper's sweet as her melody thoughts.
"oh! nu wolly! nao, Hikari-chan ij hae-r su Hikari-chan play wi-th yuu!(oh! no worry! now, I'm here, so I will play with you!)" hikari-chan pat setsuko's hand and a big bright cheeky open smile "seko can li-v wi-th Hikari-chan(suko can live with me)" she chirped while keeping her big wholesome smile and waved her hands in air.
"thank you! Hikari but I think you should go back to your mother now!" she suggested.
"but-t Hikari-chan nu knuw thish place, Hikari-chan nu knuw how go tu mumma!(but I no(don't) know this place and I no (don't) know how to go back to Mumma!)" but I don't know about this place and I don't know how to go back or get out of here" Hikari-chan said in lower voice and her smile completely disappeared which gave an heard ache to setsuko.
"I know! she immediately answered b/c she couldn't bear Hikari-chan's sadness.
"REA-LLII !!!!! TELL HIKARI-CHAN!(really!! tell me!)" Hikari lightened up to hear this and her smile came back. (ÓヮÓ)
"Close your eyes and think about your mumma!" she directed her as simply as she could b/c afterall Hikari-chan was toddler "I will take you to her!" so she decided to help her instead.
"okie!" (ÒuÒ) hikari-chan squeezed her eyes tightly, rolled her both fists, bought them near her face and thin-k thin-k thin-k! but hikari's smile didn't go away.
"YOU ARE A KID! NOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU!" he was definitely afraid of Kai's fear but totally denied it "you can't do anything to me!" even voice was trembling and his Beyblade was barely spinning.
"maybe for him, but not for me!" a feminine voice came out of nowhere and paused their match. Then, a beautiful middle-aged elegant woman came in their view. she was wearing a white collar outfit design for women and a white cape like coat over her shoulder, her chocolate- brown hair in perfect bun while her bands were coming in her face's frame.
"PROFESSOR HIWATARI!" he shocked to death when he recognised the person. his eye balls were about to come out.
"huh?" kai was confused, even though he had seen a reference of hilary's adult look but he totally ignored the point when Hilary would merry him, she wouldn't be Tachibana anymore, so when he called her professor Hiwatari instead of Hilary, it confused him, also his more than half brain was in Beybattle.
"y-you can't, d-do anything to me!!!" he still didn't accept that it's the end. she was literally standing there in form of death for him but he wanted to fight till his last breath.
"I would like you see how you will do that!" hilary said harshly with cold look in her eyes. anger was audible in her matured voice and fury was clearly emitting out of her ruby red eyes. (an: my imagination is giving me angry durga mata vibes from hilary)
"you challenging me bish!! just see! setsuko! play death tune" Kai's eyes widened when he ordered her but more surprisingly, nothing happened.
"huh! what happened! already chickened out!" hilary smirked at him
"SETSUKO!!" she wasn't listening b/c she wasn't there b/c Hikari-chan already freed her. the thief was terrified as heck but he didn't stop being stubborn, he had to realise he was fighting a lost war.
"she isn't here, idiot!" hilary showed him the screen of the radar and there wasn't any signals of wild bit-beast or unsealed bit-beast. Hilary professionally said
"WHERE DID SHE GO!!" it was un-digestable for him. everything was just according to plan then where did they go wrong! they messed up when they decided to involve Hiwatari's kids in their dirty plan.
"who knows but you are definitely going in hell!" Hilary answered as she walked forward, her boots created the sound of *clak* *clak* with every step of her.
"YOU!!!!! I WILL KILL YOU!" the thief lost his temper and ran towards hilary to grab her neck and suffocate her to death but hilary was scared at all.
Before kai could realise his actions and interrupted him, that guy almost reached to Hilary but she brought out a electric tazer and used it on him with plane expression on her face like it's her everyday thing. the thief knocked out byt on other side Kai was impressed inwardly.
"You reserved a place in hell when you thought about messing up with my kids" she watched down at the thief who passed out and fell on his face.
"HE DIED????!!!" kai asked as death wasn't a joke for him which wasn't.
Hilary was staring at his passed out figure but Kai's voice interrupted her thoughts. she turned to look at him, but her ruby red eyes caught the unconscious sight of gou which was tremendously hard for her to see. she unintentionally ignored his question.
"gou?" she mumbled or called him under her breath "GOU!!" she eyes widened as she came out in her senses.
Hilary ran to have him in her arms and kai also rushed to help her.
"what happened to him!" she asked as she looked up at him, her watery eyes met his but kai slightly lowered them c he couldn't had courage to look directly.
"he banged his head! fortunately, there has no major injury" kai answered as he checked his head.
"let's take him in!" Hilary said and kai helped her.
"you ok?" adult Hilary asked when she felt his unease while kai was in complete daze. she was infront of him, it was all like dream. okay, who was she again? hilary Hiwatari!! HILARY HIWATARI!! she used his surname.
"yeah!" kai answered when he realised she was talking to him. he didn't ask anything in addition b/c he felt like this wasn't right time.
"thank g-" before Hilary could say further, her phone rang.
*RING*
Adult Hilary picked it at first ring when she noticed the caller ID.
"Hikari and you are safe. what's next?"
"..." she was silent for a moment, her kids are finally safe. no need to worry about anything anymore, she couldn't stop her tears to flow.
"what's the condition of criminal?" she asked as she wiped her tears.
"not sure but he passed out" kai answered from other side.
"report the team and order them to take care of the rest!" she informed.
"mhh-uh...mo'-om?" gou blinked twice before opening his eyes but he hissed when he felt a sharp pain in his head.
"gou, sweetie, you are up?" Hilary asked gently with concern.
"MOM!! IT'S YOU! WHAT YOU DOING IN THIS TIME" this was first think he had to once he woke up. he was surprised to see hus mom in his time.
Both kai sweat-dropped to hear his reaction.
"gou is safe too. our kids are all right" she ended her sentence with heavy exhalation and she tightly embraced him in her arms as his head almost stuck between her breasts. mother love!
"I talk to you later!" and she hung up the phone call.
"ohh! thank god you are alright!!" Hilary sound relieved while kai was uncomfortable to see this or maybe jealous?
"MOMMY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" gou blushed super hard like teen hilary did in previous chapters. he pushed her slightly, making a decent distance between his mom and him.
"I just hugged you!" Hilary pouted but intentionally she got his embarrassment which make her to tease him more.
"mummy, why!!!...you know it's gives me gross vibes. I get 'eww' feeling, uhhh!!"
"fine!" she pouted amusingly, who knew she could do this in front of her kid and specially at this age while kai was ignoring their moment and gou noticed it.
"if you want to hug someone then hug dad" he pointed at his time's kai.
Kai's eyes slightly widened and he flushed but hilary giggled when she noticed his reaction.
"are you sure, it's not hurting anymore?" kai asked neutrally.
"oww!! so dad cares about me!" gou grinned and said in sing sang voice.
"not really but you are already lacking of brain cells. I thought you lost your last two brains cells too when you banged your head!" kai smirked with throw back reply but it fired gou's anger which he got from Hilary.
"SEE!! SEE! MOM! what did dad say to me!" gou complaint to Hilary like 5 year old kid but hilary's nervous laughed and engaged herself into something else.
She turned back at her phone screen and called someone while kai and giu got engaged in their argumentative conversation.
"it's professor Hiwatari. the targets are acquired. thieves are in our clutches and by their lucks, still alive. tell the others to came and clean the mess" she actually sent the signals.
(AN: I've separate and logical theory for time calling)
Within matter of milliseconds, the thief who was lying on the ground, disappeared into air like he never existed.
"The thief ran away. he disappeared!" kai said as he noticed his absence.
"don't worry it was my team!" Hilary said with sweet smile on her lips.
"who are you? I mean what are you!?" kai himself didn't know what he was saying. here, he meant by her profession.
Hilary chuckled and then warmly smiled at him. she went near him, tapped his nose and said-
"I'm, your. beloved wife!" she gave a cheeky smile, like she was making fun of him but actually she wanted to see Kai's cute reaction.
"I don't think it can get anymore cringé!" gou commented with bored expression on his face. he wasn't wrong though, who could watch their parents getting romantic infront of them.
.
.
.
'Kai's future-self is soo nice and kind person! ahh! he is just perfect!' Hilary thought as she sneakly gaze at kai.
'hilary's future-self is so freaking cool !! she is true definition of power!! too good, man' kai thought when he passed stolen glances to Hilary while hikari-chan confusingly looked at them.
"hehh!" Gou smirked with amused look b/c he had read the complete script.
"what's so funny!?" Tyson thought as he looked at gou.
Actually, This chapter was super long but I had to split it and it's still long so, please wait for the final but also most wholesome chapter b/c I had started to write it before this chapter's editing but if plots didn't cover up in 10th chapter then there will be one more but I will try my best!
HAVE A NICE DAY :D
