Chapter 18: Hard Hit.
As Hilary walked down the calm, deserted streets of Tokyo, she could feel the sweet breeze tickling her neck, her tangles of hair playing on her forehead. She smiled to herself just gazing around the gentle flutters of the cold bushes…
She knew that everything would be really elated, really alright! She nodded in a weak euphoria feeling accompanied by unknown quirk of eyebrow…
She took out her cell, and saw the recent chats, a bit surprised that there was a quote sent by someone. A beautiful quote, okay fine, let it be quoted bold! Perceptions changes everyone, but first, you need to intend it…It had a young girl, with brunette hair, staring at the glass pot reflecting the sunset. She was standing at the beach. She wasn't Hil.
She smiled with slight smirk…She couldn't open her net to send back another quote, so she texted back in her own words. Intentions are longing, seen by longing eyes only…She was a bit shocked as she typed it, she just thought to send something, not such a beautiful one!
Just blow the smoke through the window
'Cause this is all we know
She plugged in her phone, and walked to the daily spot doing her job silently. There was Daisy around, greeting a mumbled 'Morning' She nodded, and plugged her earphones, starting the serene morning light piano. It was a beautiful daily meditation, just working. There was no nuisance around in the early hours of the day.
She used this time to just think of whatever she liked main subjects like her studies, Tyson, lately Kai and her moving life with sort of softening relations with him, and she felt soothing about such things. After a while, when she was done, she smiled at the fat lady, and strode out hushing.
Ambling with just the flowing wonders of the day, a bit content that she has been lately finding the courage to move on and move out of the zone of loneliness. She knew the reason, was just afraid to confess to herself.
HMMN, little sighs, repeated thoughts that run through this mind, less spend on studies, more on other junk fucking thoughts….Feelin' a funny jerking feeling sometime…Okay fine, let's do something evil! Like…Troubling him, let's see how sweet and amazing it will be to watch his confused face…
Chuckling- She had not much raging intentions. She was just feeling to pull him up with some annoying trick, just to watch him grow with her real angry.
She liked walking alone, with thoughts flowing smooth in her minds, just sometimes enjoying alone, and having pleasure with herself. She smiled as her mind rushed through everything about her life.
Her gaze slowly felt on the concrete streets on which she was advancing when she saw a shadow of someone sure behind her. She turned back her head quick stopping her legs. Her face was questioning and clear, without any perplexity; she didn't smile. It was Kai.
She looked at him seeking an answer for shadowing her while he tried to study her appreciable rubies that the morning glory had enlightened. The moment lasted short. She slightly intently bent a bit her neck, trying him to break from his trance.
He blinked his eyes and walked past her putting the soft smile on his cold face. She continued walking beside him, looking at him trying to figure out …just…anything…
"So early, eh?" she mumbled with her hands on her back of head looking in front of her straight.
"Hmn, so you are here?"
"Uhmn no-nothing, just taking the lure of fresh air…you know."
"Fine…"He said putting a smirk at the corner of lips.
"Huh?" she smiles.
Okay, fine, everything was just cool.
Or really warm in her heart
She could feel nothing any insecure
Or anything queer,
No weird sensations.
It was quiet, calm, nothing- no more holding stares
They walked slowing their steps, both of them not daring to look at each other.
I thought she would just run away or feel insecure or start crying, but everything seems good…fine…Okay everything's just not gloomy as I felt…I hope I could pursue my feelings. I shouldn't lose blithe of being with her. I just hope, just hope, everything will be really awesome…
He constantly ran his fingers tenderly through his hair shaking off his head. Each time she got distracted as his hair with dark blue gently at the back fluttered about his shoulders. She cornered her eyes and then when he did the same, she returned back her gaze, just feeling a sweet urge for the paces to short and the way back to dojo to increase…
For some time, she seemed to forget about the navy haired blader. Right now was the new cologne around, yet far warmth of someone….
Hey! Just why do you calm down my heart?
Your amethyst eyes and grey hairs that are the charms!
I wanna feel my blood rush when you are around
I don't wanna be with you, but just gonna bound
Say, say why this slow down everything..
I don't hear any piano on your iPod that sweet
Little sighs, little smiles, little gestures
That's all…I won't let you hold me dear.
Just then when she sighed, it became tougher- making both of them break from their own trances and look at each other. She stumbled down and clashed with her own leg and it hurt her knee. Oh! Man, it was bleeding. She whined shortly and held her leg. She was sitting on the ground, the other leg in brat uncomfortable position, and the other half folded. She narrowed her eyes in pain.
He bent down to her level and wiped off the free flowing scarlet blood with his white scarf. He sat with both his legs folded down to the ground, half standing and personably slipped off his scarf and gently wrapped her knee.
He happened to hit her cheek with his amethyst tangles being so near, and she just felt like each beat a pain and longing…She stared inside his eyes, looking beyond them. She could feel the worry nestled under that cold face, blanch skin, without the triangles…and yet the distinct holding eyes.
She smiled slowly…and looked at her knees that was white at the spot and his affectionate hands stills soothing around.
It was her mistake.
When he was done, he felt her staring and he looked at her, not minding his uncomfortable position. He couldn't believe the longing in her eyes…He tried to read them again and found the same feeling.
He had an urge, irresistible urge, but he was ready to back down, it was a bit early…
He read them once again, and those were more profound and as if mollified if he wouldn't return them…
Once again he neutralized his expressions and looked at her. She was confusing him, but it just turned up great truth for the Hiwatari when she intently slid off her lids breathing a bit faster and shortly felt a lump in her throat.
His smirk didn't come, instead came a short smile and there was no hesitation after more predictions…He headed forward to her chin that had already forwarded a bit. He closed his eyes that he never closed this way, and with avid lips, profoundly, he brushed them on her forehead. He felt an ardent cured thirst quenched most of all, a sweet soft feeling over everywhere.
He didn't notice how quickly she opened her eyes as if scared after he implanted the sweet thing on her forehead. She moved back and there was aversion, fear, awe and much more mixed emotions, sudden lines on forehead and she quickly stood up and was breathing heavily, her heart as if started its acceleration.
I don't understand this .I don't understand this…what the hell have I done! What the freak I'm, how can I allow him to….I just feel to kill myself, How DARE he do this! Hilary, what have you done? How can I allow him to do this? But why…Why did I just give him any chance….ARHGG!
A few minutes ago, when they were walking without any hurdle, all peacefully, Ray was out ambling in some painful states of mind and he saw them together and his blood got white at the scene He felt the sense of his duty as friend. He won't allow Tyson get any sort of pain or betrayal or any unrequited thing as he faced for himself, so he lifted his cell, and texted Tyson and walked away from the scene in disgust. He didn't know anything more and what if Tyson had seen it or not, whatsoever…
"What happened? Are you alright? You just moved back as if you woke from a nightmare "He said casually.
What? It was more than a nightmare. This is just not right to be around him…I am supposed to be with Tyson. This is just a betrayal if I'm here. But what….Who am I betraying... Am I betraying Tyson or myself? I really know just this perfect sole fact that this is just isn't any right…I cannot just stick here.
"No- Nothing..." she fidgeted as she realized that she was still around here and moved back trying to keep the calm face and a little smile showing that she wasn't scared, but that helped little…it was much obvious for him…
She slowly paced a step back with her left leg as he stood up followed by her. She sighed in fear shortly as he headed towards her just the same step and stared at her, intending to stop her from snapping her thoughts from her already maelstrom mind. He had that holding cold look, bit of malice that frightened her and she narrowed her eyes out of the weirdest and killing sensation she felt inside.
She felt impotent and insecure as he headed further and then he swiftly held her by shoulders that made her startled and she closed her eyes becoming rigid and expressing her frustration while he tried intimidating.
Before he neared, there was a sudden sound that seemed like a whamming one, and the amethyst blader felt a pain above the abdomen when Tyson showed all of sudden, unpredictably and smacked him on his stomach. His lips harshly pouted in anger and glared at his present biggest rival in envy, anger and other mixed rivalry emotions that he fell to more of exasperation.
It seemed that they had a staring contest. Kai held his whammed stomach in his hands giving him a death glare, while Tyson did the same, narrowing his eyes, and it had that fierce and more mixed vexation.
I was watching them, their eyes, as they glared at each other. I felt helpless to do anything. I just simply watched them, feeling it was my own fault for the two friends' rivalry and hate. I realized I was the reason; their friendship turned into envy and it was falling apart.
Yeah, falling apart. Can I do anything?
I felt ashamed just watching them from apart. But the only question that kept haunting that I still didn't to invade my mind was if Tyson liked me, no, did he love me just as Kai said?
So tell me was I the reason for everything
Why could we be friends without any worries, nothing?
Was I that so precious, really?
Even if I were, I weren't, just like you all freely
Without any restriction, by full hearts and sighs,
The sighs that give out pain and never noticed, in vain.
But yet, I hated what just happened. I do not wanted to be his …I was ready to accept him as really worth confiding friend. Wasn't that just alright, why we need to put complicate things around? Why Kai, why Tyson….
Before she could further race her mind through all the repeated thoughts and new perceptions, she felt a protective arm around her shoulder. It was a real protective one. Tyson continued his stares at Kai as if he had much more to say but he's just letting go because of her. He didn't want to worsen the matters.
Hilary glanced at him. His facial expressions were full of defense that he ensured her protection from the extreme to the least worried pain. She looked at him gently; loving his warm gesture, it was just so soothing and comforting.
A small, really, yet meant, and sad smile played at the corner of her lips.
She could see Kai's scarf flutter violently, as if expressing envy as Tyson held her and finally with that final glare he turned and with a little firm grasp on her shoulders and walked with his face still in lines. She continued staring at Tyson, at least because he didn't right away give any criticizing faces and just thought and thought.
His quietness kills…
Warm gestures, the intimate warmth, and the comfort longed
Accepted by heart, only yours, I feel nothin's wrong.
I see the colors fading
And you try better shades shading
I know I can trust you with eyes closed.
I'm safe with you even when the toughest wind blows.
