Chapter- 5
"Where we goin'?" Little Angelica asked as she walked on the decorated streets of Tokyo.
"Shopping." Kai answered the restless girl whose small hand was held firmly in his large one.
"Where Mamma, Daddy, Uncle Tala and Aunt Julia?"
"They are spending their own Christmas Eve. And no questions now." He said as he entered the kids store with Angel.
"Kai! I want toys!" Angel said, pleading with big cute eyes and lower lip jutted out. How could she do that being merely a two year old? Oh yeah, that's why she could do it.
'Just like her.' He turned to the purple-haired. "Sure."
"Tyson?" Hilary said while walking beside the blunette on the pathway of the Christmas celebrating town.
"Hmm?" he said indicating that he was listening. But he was admiring her. She wore a simple red sweater over her sleeveless blue tee, black pleated skirt and her usual brown boots. So simple yet the most gorgeous in his eyes. She was really something different. That something that was for him, only him.
"Can I ask you something? Promise that you'll answer truthfully."
"'Kay... I promise, tell."
"How long will you stand by my side?" She asked directly without beating around the bush. Looking directly into his eyes she spoke, so that he knew that she wasn't joking.
"Wha- What makes you say that?" He asked, taken aback.
"You are bound to have dreams. And it's not that you'll leave all your dreams just to be at my side."
"Hilary... I'll be there for you always... always" he said softly as he held her hand in his and squeezed it gently.
"It's just that I've been disowned by my mom, I've the responsibility of Angel and my own life... I just don't want to be a burden on you or anyone." She looked down.
He lifted her face with his thumb and forefinger, "Hils, look at me... You don't have to think about all this. You were there by my side when the Bladebreakers had split up. I was in great need of a good friend. Then you helped me out from all this and to concentrate on my game. Will you always play the role of a friend in help and all? Give me a chance too." He winked and her heart fell lightened. "We'll talk to your mum... I'll talk. And of Angel, Mr. Sourpass is too happy to have her as his friend." Both of them then chuckled and continued their walk to the restaurant.
'Just keep laughing Hils and be happy always.' He linked his fingers with hers. She saw it and smiled warmly at him.
'No doubt, he won't leave me. I'm happy to find a friend like you Tys.'
"Tala!" Julia yelled at the boy beside her who was flirting with a blonde in the store. He winced at the voice and crept back to Julia.
"Cool it Jules. Cool it and cool down." He mocked soothingly and moving his hands slowly up and down dramatically.
She narrowed her eyes, "If you'll stop flirting I will cool down. I brought you to help me buy gifts, not to flirt with every passerby! Or should I tell Kai that you've started your flirting again?" she warned.
"No-not Kai, Jules. He'll of course take side of his sis- Shit!" He gulped, blaming his big mouth for spilling it out.
"What did you say?" Julia asked cautiously.
"You buy the dress in your hand and meet me outside the store."
"Tys how could you eat so much?" Hilary asked horrified after listening the blunette's order.
"Oh come on Hils. I'll handle it. You know me right." He grinned at her.
In reply, she just shook her head.
"THIS IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL THE LOVELY COUPLES HERE. YOU'RE FREE TO DANCE AND GRACE THE SONG." The announcer announced pointing to big area outside the restaurant directly under the Christmas sky of Japan. There was band playing songs.
"Wanna go Hils?" Tyson asked excitedly.
"Tys, it's for the couples. We're not couples." She said blushing.
"Hils... no one cares. Come on, don't you trust me?"
"I do... but..."
"Stop overthinking." He took her hand and took her outside.
Finding a perfect spot, he pulled her towards him, placed his hand on her hips after putting her hands on his shoulders.
"Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
The song went on its own melody.
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Hilary felt herself melting in the arms of Tyson.
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one
And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do"
Swaying to the beat, Tyson pulled her closer by encircling his arms round her waist. She rounded her hands on his neck making their foreheads touch.
"So you wanna know the truth, huh? You're Kai's half-sister." Her eyes widened. She couldn't be. That's not the truth.
"I know you won't believe me. You, Raul and Kai have the same hair colour tones. Dual-toned. Ever wondered why?" Maybe that was a point.
"Kai's father, Alexander Hiwatari, was drugged in a bar by someone when he was about 30. He was already married to Kai's mother and Kai about to be born. He, not in mind, impregnated a lady. The lady was from the circus where you used to live." He paused, seeing a confused Julia looking back at him.
"When Mr. Hiwatari got to know about it, he went to the lady. She refused to abort the baby. While here, Mrs. Hiwatari had been killed by Voltaire's men, after giving birth to Kai. After some months when you and Raul were born, the lady left you in the trustful arms of the circus manager. She ran away and never came back.
"Mr. Hiwatari had left a bunch of letters for Kai before going on his journey. Kai found those letters in the Russian mansion, when he was assigned the property." He paused again, noticing the tears in Julia's eyes. She had stopped walking.
"Jules...?"
She wiped her tears, "Why didn't Kai tell me that...?"
"Kai told Raul about all this, but when he died in the circus fire, Kai thought it would be better to keep this all a secret from you."
She beamed at him after a minute. "Come on we need to buys gifts." She dragged him along. 'It's hurting me but if Kai wants to keep this secret, then I won't bother him. No wonder why I never had a crush on him like the other beygirls or any girl. He is my brother!'
'Thank God she handled it nicely.' Tala wondered as he was dragged into a store.
Getting emotional, aren't we? Well, next chapter or maybe the next to next chapter reveal who Kai is thinking about.
Like it? Love it? Dislike it? Hate it? Any comments? Any advices? Any questions?

Bye till then,
