Hi! Alright, I am not going to answer each individual Review right now, but I will tell you:

It is not Kai because he's dating Tyson, It isn't Tyson because he's dating Kai. AND I do not under any circumstances support HilaryKai. Simple as that. -.-;;;

Subject: I want to know you

I want to know who you are. I know I shouldn't, and that I shouldn't keep typing this letter...but curiosity seems to have overwhelmed me. I need to know you. I don't know why but it's eating away at me and...and...

Gawd. Maybe it was a mistake to reply in the first place.

Is there any chance that we could meet, anytime soon?

-Hilary


A shiver ran through him as he read the message. It was short, but yet it meant so much… As weird as it felt, he thought he knew Hilary more now…a side he would never see at school.

Ever…to meet?

His eyes clouded over a little dreamily at the thought, but he shook his head, fingers poised over the keyboard, almost as thought it were an art.

As he typed, his eyes drifted to the Digital Clock that sat on the desk next to him. He had to go soon… His eyes fell back on the screen and he continued to type, a cat snoring sleeping at his feet.

For now, he would remain byakko.dreams… only for now.


Hilary drummed her fingers impatiently on the long table. Late, late, late, late, late. She worked with a bunch of idiots this year.

She scowled as there was a large thump behind her and then sighed, turning around.

"Go away, Tyson." She grumbled. "Kai isn't here yet."

The blunette pouted up at her from the ground, getting to his feet. "Are you sure he isn't?" Tyson cowered as Hilary shot a glare at him, and then turned and left the conference room.

Groaning, Hilary banged her head on the table. It was obsessive. It was like she needed to be perfect. She sat up and blew a bang out of her eyes, only to have it fall back in to place. She wouldn't have this problem if the frigging council met at a more appropriate time.

About the hundredth sigh that morning escaped Hilary. Even if the meeting was later in the morning, she would still be here…at seven o'clock, waiting for her crazy…colleagues. It was really sad, it just proved how little of a life she had.

"I need an advice column to talk to…write to, whatever to…" Hilary groaned and hit her head on the table yet again.

"…what are you doing?"

Hilary shot upwards, preparing to snap at Kai, but froze, seeing the boy standing before her.

He wasn't smirking, he wasn't laughing, he wasn't really doing anything. Just staring at her, with those abnormal yellow eyes.

Hilary felt a blush rise to her cheeks and then mentally kicked herself. She was such an idiot. Acting so retarded…when she should have been poised and perfectly normal for when Mr. President came.

"Hello, Rei," muttered Hilary, her voice showing no affection, but it wasn't harsh. "Glad you made it."

"Don't I always?" replied Rei, seating himself in one of the many empty chairs. He smiled at her and then there was a tense silence between both.

"…nobody else is here yet?" questioned Rei, looking around and trying to start a normal conversation between the two.

Hilary just shook her head.

The silence stretched on, and Rei watched Hilary boredly. Hilary was scribbling on a piece of paper, brown eyes traveling from one side of the sheet to the other.

"KAIIIII!"

"Tyson!"

Both Hilary and Rei jumped and turned to stare at the closed Conference Room door as shouting and loud thumps were heard.

Hilary groaned in embarrassment and then whacked her forehead, standing up. "Good God…" she muttered, swinging open the door. "What are you two doing?"

Tyson and Kai both looked up, Tyson grinning innocently while Kai sighed and fell on his back, Tyson on top of him.

"I'm scaring Kai." Replied Tyson cheerfully. "I need to scare a person daily, remember? I tried you, but…"

Inside the conference room, Rei sniggered at the three friends arguing. Although Kai remained silent throughout most of the conversation, he was very much involved…Hilary said he was the cause for all the disruption in the first place.

"Tyson, you're better off coming late than super early."

Subject: RE: I want to know you

Soon, but definitely not now. I noticed that a lot of your previous formality has dissipated. I wish mine would as well, but it just seems…so much easier to get you to notice my e-mails if I am formal.

Give it time, Hilary. Give it time.

-byakko.dreams


Hilary scowled. That e-mail was even shorter than hers!

Grumbling in frustration, Hilary began to type up a response, determined to get this done quickly so she could go and scold Tyson and Kai some more.

Unfortunately, they had been avoiding her for the entire day.

"Whatchya doing?"

Hilary jumped and automatically minimized the screens, turning around in the office seat. Mariam gave her a weird look, falling forwards a bit since she had been leaning on the back of the seat.

"What's the matter with you?" The blue-haired girl asked, cocking her head to one side curiously.

"Nothing," replied Hilary, shutting down the windows and then logging off the Library Computer. "Just some last minute work for the article…"

Mariam nodded, but clearly didn't believe her. However, she said nothing more to the matter and followed Hilary out of the School Library.

"So…what's up?" asked Hilary casually, obviously trying to turn the subject.

"I was just looking for you…" replied Mariam, frowning. "What's the matter with you?" she questioned, looking at Hilary seriously.

"Huh?" Hilary stopped and blinked at the Kinomiya. "What do you…?"

Mariam sighed and then shook her head. "No…nevermind. Let's go find my brother before he and Kai get into some hanky panky mess."

Both girls continued to walk for a minute, and then giggled, hurrying through the halls.

Formality?

I didn't think I lost that aspect of our conversations…I always thought that it was nice to have an intelligent conversation with someone.

So far, I like you byakko.dream. However, I don't know you…so…

How can I make a proper judgement?

Please reply soon…

I want to know more. Need to know more.

Tell me!

-Hilary


Looking over the e-mail for the hundredth time, Hilary made her last change to it and then sent the letter. It was, once again, short. But short and sweet, as they always said.

"Hilary! Are you done yet?"

Kenny's voice from the Editor's office rang through the small area.

Hilary nodded, calling back a quick yes. She then opened her Word Document and quickly saved it. As soon as she did that, it would automatically be sent to Kenny.

Just as she was going to shut down the computer, a small bing made her pause.

An e-mail?

Hilary's eyes widened. How did he answer so fast? It was…weird… He had to be at a computer!

Instantly, the brunette's fingers poised over the keyboard, her other hand moving the mouse onto the e-mail.

Alright, byakko.dream, Hilary thought in a determined matter. Let's see what you have to say…

And there you go! That's the end of it!

Review, and sorry for the long Update.
