Yes, because of all those kind reviews I have decided to continue! Oh, I have also changed my name…again. I keep thinking my penname is a little depressing, so I decided to change it! I'm now Angelic Kitsune. Weird name huh. Okay, so should I just get onto the next chapter of Roadblocks of a Different Kind? I'm really thankful to all the reviews I received. I haven't decided whether to make this a two-shot, a three-shot or a story like Broken Pieces and Over the Pain. Anyway, enough rambling on right? Okay! Miko, Tori!
Tori- Hey everyone! Good to know you all enjoy this story, hope you'll still like it after this chapter!
Miko- May I please do the disclaimer? (Weird Mexican/Spanish accent)
Tori- Just before you do…check out my bestie's story, her penname is Yenn-Onne-Chan and she wrote ColdHearted. Check it out!
Miko- Yes, yes, now Kitsune-chan does not own beyblade or anything in this fic. Okay? But she does own Misaki Kikoshi!
Author- ON WITH THE STORY! (Vote if I should bring Tyke into all this! For fans of Broken Pieces, you'd all know who this is)

(Ding, dong, ding, dong)
Hilary rushed to the door, exchanging ten dollars for a pizza. "Thanks," She smiled, closing the door. Heading to the lounge she took in the smell of the hot, tasty pizza. Placing the box upon the coffee table the brunette opened the box, taking a piece of the heavenly Italian pastry. Just as she was about to take a bite…
(Ding, dong, ding, dong)
'Oh great…' She muttered some incoherent swears as she walked to the door. Opening she voiced her current 'thoughts', "Listen, I'm really hungry so make this quick!" Since her ruby eyes had been shut, she didn't actually see who it was before her. "Sorry, I don't do quick!" The voice snapped. The brunette opened her eyes, "Oh, it's you!" "Yes it's me," Misaki glared at the brunette. "What do you want?" Hilary glared back, with much, much more hate. Misaki took an object out of her pocket and handed it to Hilary.
"What's this?" Hilary asked, holding the box, shaking it slightly. "Why are you asking me?" Misaki snorted. "You gave it to me, so I'd guess you'd know where it's from!" Hilary retorted. "All I know is I found it on my futon with an envelope attached to it." Misaki explained. "Where's the envelope?" Hilary asked, narrowing her eyes, knowing Misaki would already know what the envelope held, "Or why don't you just tell me?" Misaki rolled her eyes at the brunette and took an envelope from her bag, "Here, I couldn't open it because it's been super-glued or something and I don't have scissors with me at the moment!"
"Sure…" Hilary said sarcastically, snatching the envelope from Misaki. "A thanks would be nice!" Hilary examined the envelope before nodding to Misaki. A sign of thanks and to leave. Misaki snorted again and walked down the hall to the elevator. Hilary shut the door forcefully and went back to her previous activities. She inspected the envelope then decided to open it. 'Scissors, scissors,' Hilary reached for a pair of scissors and cut through the envelope, trying hard not to cut the letter within.
Once open, she slid out the letter. "Wonder who this is from..." She hummed lightly as her eyes scanned over the page.
Hilary Tachibana
I wondered where you went tonight
I hoped you would return
So I could hold you in my arms again.
Tomorrow night, 7:00
By Hitashi lake
Be there and you'll meet someone who has wanted you for longer than the stars have shone.
H. K.
Eyes widened, mind racing, heart thumping, Hilary bit her lip. 'Who could he be?' She asked herself. She stared at the letter for even longer. Reading it over and over, she eventually forgot the pizza she was supposed to eat and the movie she was going to watch. Suddenly, it occurred to her, the letter wasn't the only thing Misaki had handed to her. "Where's the box?" Hilary asked herself. She looked around the couch eagerly looking for the little box. "Oh yeah, it's on top of the TV!" She laughed nervously and walked over to the large widescreen.
She picked up the little scarlet box. She wondered what was inside, "Well only one way to find out!" Opening it, she was practically blinded by the glimmer of the object. It was a necklace. But it wasn't the necklace exactly that was nearly blinding Hilary, it was the pendant. It was a ruby heart. "I-it's beautiful…" She whispered. Picking it up carefully, she observed the golden beauty, gasping at every inch of the necklace her eyes laid on.
Even more cautiously, the brunette placed the necklace around her neck. Once locked from the little lock she rushed to the mirror. Her face glowing as she stared at the ruby heart. She made some poses, her eyes fixated on the shimmering pendant. "If only I knew who to thank for this…" She whispered, still captivated by the beauty of her latest jewel. 'Maybe I can figure it out!' She rushed back to the letter and held it up. "H. K.?" Hilary repeated looking at the initials of the letter-writer.
"I don't know any H. K.?" Hilary furrowed her brows in confusion. She stared at the initials, eventually tired and retired to bed.

KAI'S POV
Hilary left a while ago. I hear Misaki coming back in. She comes up to my futon and lies on. Great. "Where've you been?" I ask simply. She bolts up and her eyes seem to gleam at me. "I always knew you cared Kai-kun!" She snuggles up to my arm…again. "I don't…" I muttered to myself, evidently, she didn't hear it.
"You see Kai-kun, you don't need to worry about me, I just went to give Hilary a little note and this box…don't worry Kai-kun, I'm here now…" She purrs against my arm, I sigh. I manage to free my arm from her grip and tell her she should go to her own futon. "Why?" She pouts. "Because," I leave it at that and snuggle into my pillow. I didn't hear anything else, but her scramble off to her futon. It had been such a tiring day.
Trying to get Misaki to leave me alone and stop harassing my arm was hard work. I wonder why Hilary left so early. She doesn't usually leave until dinner. Maybe Misaki really hit an anger spot. But Hilary did leave when I 'let' Misaki grope me. I only did that because I thought it would satisfy her. Not that I care if Misaki is happy. I just thought if I let her get what she wanted, then she would be happy, leave me alone and let me speak to Hilary. Yes, I want to speak to Hilary.
But that plan didn't work out quiet as well as I thought it would. Instead, Hilary left me alone and Misaki kept hanging around me. I didn't talk to her though, I just kept ignoring her. Damn, she is such a roadblock!
I turn over and glare at Misaki's sleeping form. Why must she stand in the way so much. Does she know? Is she trying to postpone my confession? I wish I could kick her out of the team. But despite the fact that I'm captain, I'm powerless to get that blonde bimbo outta here! "Damn…" I mutter hoarsely. It was so much easier when Hilary was sleeping in that futon. It was so much better.
I don't even know why Misaki started coming over. Obviously it was because of me, but why else? I growl and turn over again onto my back. Staring at the ceiling, I wonder if Misaki really did give the letter and box to Hilary. I wonder if Hilary read the letter and discovered what was inside. I wonder if Hilary figured out who H. K. was. I wonder if she's going to come to the lake and meet H. K. I wonder if she'll accept what he has to say. I keep wondering until my eyes finally give in and carry me off to dreamland.
END OF POV

Hilary squinted as the sunlight entered her room. She groaned and turned away from the luminosity. "What time is it?" She asked herself and took a peek at her clock. It read 7:14 am. "Time to get up I guess," She swung her legs over the bed and into her warm, fluffy slippers. She staggered to the bathroom, turning on the shower.
Once out of the shower, she changed and finally it struck her. Today. It was today. H. K. wanted to meet her today. Tonight. She squealed in glee and ran over to her phone. Dialing a number she waited for the other line to answer. "Hello?" Answered a rather groggy voice. "MARIAH!" The brunette shrieked into her phone. "Hilary…it's so early in the morning…what is it?" Mariah muttered. Hilary laughed, "Okay, okay, why don't I meet you at the mall today and explain?" "Alright, call Mariam too, okay…what time?" The pinkette asked. "Around 12, that okay?" Hilary asked. "Great, see ya, don't forget to call Mariam too!" "Yeah, see ya!"
Hilary hung up the phone, as did Mariah. Hilary then dialed another number.
A couple of rings before the other line answered. "Hello?" This voice didn't sound too tired. "Hey Mariam, its Hil, meet me at the mall today, I have something important to tell you and Mariah!" Hilary said. "What time?" Mariam asked. "Around noon, okay?" Hilary said. "Gotcha, see ya then!" Mariam grinned. "Yeah, see ya then!" Hilary hung up the phone. She glanced at the clock. 8:26 am. 'Still a while 'til I meet the girls,' She thought and went over to the couch. She switched on the TV and began to play with the ruby heart around her neck.
She smiled as it glittered in the light. "It's so beautiful!" She cooed again. "I just HAVE to thank H. K. when I see him!" Hilary squealed again, diving into a pillow beside her. She sighed as her face softened against the cushion. Her stomach grumbled, "Maybe it's time for breakfast!" Hilary stood and walked over to the kitchen, deciding what to have for breakfast.

Hilary sat in her chair, beside her two friends. "So, what's all the hub-bub?" Mariah asked, staring at the gleam in Hilary's eyes. Hilary pulled the letter from her bag, "Read this!" Mariam snatched the note from Hilary grip. She and Mariah read through it, at least five or six times. "Who's H. K.?" Mariam asked. Hilary shrugged, "I wish I knew!" "Oh, my little Hilary's growing up!" Mariah embraced her brunette friend. "M-Mariah…air…need…" Hilary gasped. "S-sorry!" The pinkette stuck her tongue out playfully and let go of Hilary.
"So, are you gonna meet him?" Mariam asked. Hilary nodded ecstatically, "Yeah, this encounter might take my mind off Kai!" "So, 7 pm tonight, by Hitashi lake, Hilary's life's gonna change!" Mariah grinned.
Just a few tables down from the three jubilant girls, sat a blonde with her two bimbo friends. '7pm, Hitashi lake…Hilary?' Misaki thought, squinting at the brunette to make sure it really was Hilary. "So that's what was in the letter…" Misaki muttered to herself, "Naki, make a note!" The other dark blonde haired girl took a pink sticky note and a pink fluffy pen.
"What do you want me to write?" Naki asked. "Note this: tonight, 7 pm, Hitashi Lake, Hilary's meeting with someone," Misaki ordered the girl. "Okay…uhm…Misaki?" Naki looked up at her cousin. "What?" Misaki spat. "How do you spell 'seven'?" Naki asked. Misaki rolled her eyes, "Just write the number!" "Seven's a number?" Niaki, Naki's sister, asked. "YES!" Misaki growled. "How do you spell the number seven?" Naki asked. "UGH, let me write it!" Misaki stole the notepad from her cousin and hurriedly scribbled down the note.
'Guess Hilary's going to have another surprise…' Misaki smirked.

HILARY'S POV
It was 6 pm now. Another hour until my 'meeting'. I was actually really excited. I mean, this guy could turn out to be a serial murderer, but then again, he could really be the love of my life. I sighed like a lovesick schoolgirl. I just really wanna see who this H. K. is! Maybe he's someone I know. Maybe he's someone who I've never met before. He could be anyone! I sighed again, man, I gotta stop doing that. I better go finish getting ready.
It's a hard choice. I can either get high heels and look super sexy. Or wear my chucks incase I need to run away from this guy. What should I choose? Maybe I should just wear my skirt and add my chucks to the outfit. That should be fine. I'll look great and ready.
By the time I was finished, it was already 6:32. Not long now. I was so excited, my hands wouldn't stay still. They kept moving around, touching my outfit to make sure there were no wrinkles and it kept feeling the necklace. The pendant. I still couldn't get over how gorgeous it was. "Not long now…"
&&
After ten minutes of anxiousness and anxiety, I decided to leave my home and go to Hitashi lake. I walked down the roads, quietly humming to myself.
Once there, I saw a few movements up ahead. There were a few people there. "Lovers…" I laughed. And walked down to the edge of the lake. No-one was there. I glimpsed at my watch, it was 6:54pm. Well, it was another six minutes until I'd meet H. K. I sat down on a log, staring up at the stars seemingly smiling at me. I smiled back Then, I heard a few steps.
"Come on Kai, you invited me here, why don't you kiss me?" It was Misaki. I'm sure of it. I could never mistake her voice for someone else's. "What?" That voice was definitely Kai's. Who else had a voice so strong or muscular? "Kiss me Kai!" She said seductively. There was an awkward silence before, "I knew you always felt that way about me!" "Hn," I heard Kai mutter.
Now I couldn't take this. Kai didn't love Misaki. He never felt that way about her. Right? But wouldn't that explain everything. Perhaps he kissed her and whispered his feelings for her. No. I couldn't take it; I didn't care if H. K. would be stood up because I left.
This meeting was supposed to make me forget Kai, but instead, it had broken my heart completely. I ran out away from the lake, making sure I didn't run into Misaki nor Kai on my way out. I felt the tears just urging to fall. I complied and the tears fell down my face. I ran all the way home.
Once home, I ran all the way up to my room. Collapsing on the bed I let the tears fall nonstop. Love was never this hard. I thought about Kai and Misaki. Together. That just made me cry even more.
Breaking my heart
Was never something I thought you'd do
But now you have
And I need to cry
For my stolen heart
Has been torn into pieces
This was a great day. I didn't think that this day would end up in tears. I thought I'd meet the love of my life.
I thought I'd forget Kai and move on.
But you see, loving someone is simple, to stop loving someone is difficult.
That night, I finally cried myself to sleep. My dreams drowning in the tears of my sorrows.
