Chapter 4: A Chance at Love

Hikaru

THIS CHAPTER IS DEDCATED TO KINGDOM'S OATHKEEPER, THE AMAZING AUTHORESS! HOPE YOU LIKE IT! =D

"Kyoya, wait up!" I laugh. I pick up my speed and tear through the trees. The breeze feels so amazingly good. Twigs and leaves crunch under my feet but I don't care!

"RAWR!" He playfully growls as he appears from behind a tree. He grabs my waist and swings me around in the air. I giggle like nuts as he puts me down.

"Let's go get lunch…" I prompt by tapping his chest. He smiles and takes off again.

"When you can catch me!" I sigh and take off again. It's been a week since I left the hospital and Kyoya's been with me every step of the way. He took me to the park so I could run around again. We've been playing this version of hide and seek for almost an hour now.

"KYOYA!" I yell as I run. From what Kyoya told me, I wouldn't give up until I caught him. He said I'm very headstrong and I am not one to give up easily.

"GOTTA CATCH ME!" His voice calls from above me. I look up and he's up in a tree about forty feet. It's a huge tree that I would say if at least 70 feet high.

"I thought cats hated trees!" I say.

"I'm not a cat! I'm a LION!"

"A Lion's still a cat!"

"Whatever!" At this point, I'm halfway up to him. He sits on a branch and kicks his legs, waiting like a kid at Christmas time. I continue climbing, laughing. He smirks and waits a little longer before jumping down.

"See, you're a cat…CATS land on their feet." I remark after Kyoya lands perfectly on his feet. He rolls his eyes before commenting.

"I AM A LION!"

"Sure you are!" I say as I start to come down. My foot slips and I start to fall. My hand grabs onto a stray branch and the stop jolts my shoulder. I cry out in pain and grimace. Kyoya doesn't waste a second, but is at my side before I can move. He climbs up a branch to where my hand grips the tree branch. He grabs my wrist and tries to pull me up.

"Wait a minute!" I call out. He stops and I pant for a moment. The pain is too much for he to pull me up like that.

"What are you thinking?!" He calls down with an eyebrow raised.

"There are some branches directly below me. If I land just right, I might be able to be held up by them."

"Yeah but if you don't…"

"If I don't…then…I'll figure that out on the way down." I smile a little. He grips my wrist and grimaces a little as he realizes there's no other way.

"Okay, hold on. There's gotta be some other way." He starts thinking for a moment.

"THREE!"

"What are you doing?!" He freaks out a little as he realizes I'm up to something.

"TWO!"

"Hikaru!" He practically pleads.

"ONE!"

"WAIT!" He understands.

"LET IT RIP!" I let go and slip through his grip. I start to fall and try to flip my body the way it needs to be.

"HIKARU!" I realize the branches aren't strong enough but I can't stop myself. Fear grips my heart as I break through and continue falling. I can't grab onto anything and I close my eyes.

"HIKARU!" I hear right before I feel the ground smash into me.

KYO-YO'S POV

"Twice in one week!" I hit my head against a wall.

"Oh, chill…I'm fine!" Hikaru insists.

"Yeah, that's fine!" I say sarcastically as I point to her arm cast.

"At least nothing was broken. And the doctor said it was only for a couple days, just to be safe." She tries to smile. I sigh and look around the hospital room. The doctor's getting clearance papers and then we can leave.

"So you just can't stay out of trouble now can you?" Tsubasa's voice sounds from the doorway.

"Tsubasa!" Hikaru tries to stand but I make her sit. She glares at me but I keep her in her seat.

"What are you doing here?" I growl.

"Oh, calm down!" Hikaru swats my arm with her free hand.

"Just came to see what happened. Benkei said you called him kinda panicked and you made him drive you here. He's out in the lobby, waiting to hear how she is."

"Well, when YOUR girlfriend falls from twenty feet, you'd be panicked too."

"Did you just call me your girlfriend?!" Hikaru asks with a smile.

"What?! I…I….I said nothing of the sort!"

"YES, YOU DID!" She squeals.

"Nope!"

"YEAH! You called me your girlfriend…"

"I plead the fifth!"

"THIS ISN'T AMERICA! YOU CAN'T PLEAD SILENCE!" She giggles.

"Yeah, I can."

"Who says?!"

"ME!"

"Oh, cause you're king of the jungle?! Ooohh ahhhh!" She mocks me with monkey sounds.

"Oh yeah! This king's gonna…"

"Need a queen?!" She finishes with a smile.

"I'm done." I throw my hands in the air.

"TSUBASA! Did you see that?! HE SURRUNDERED! The great King Lion GAVE UP!" I roll my eyes as she continues to mock me. Tsubasa cracks a smile and chuckles.

"Well, Miss Hasama…you're free to go." The doctor enters enough to announce the news.

"Thank you." Hikaru thanks her as she stands. I grab her bag and offer her my arm.

"See, he's such a gentlemen!" Hikaru says to Tsubasa. Eagle Boy laughs and agrees. I shoot them both glares and shake my head.

"Let's go."

"Kay…" Hikaru pretends to be sad but it fails as her smile doesn't fade.

"Let's go home."

"Oh hey!" Tsubasa calls after us. We turn and he hands us a small flyer.

"What's this?!"

"Yu's welcome home party. Remember he went on that trip?! Madoka talked to him the other day and he's coming home two days from now. We're throwing him a surprise welcome home party and you're invited."

"Oh…we'd love to come." Hikaru answers.

"I guess we're coming." I mutter.

"See ya there."

"See ya!" Hikaru says goodbye and we continue.

Thanks for reading this chapter of Forgotten! I hope you enjoyed reading it.

So Hikaru's arm ISN'T broken but sprained is more of the word. So she has to wear the cast and she'll be fine. Just wanted to clarify!

So, I know this chapter was kinda weird but it sets up part of the plot for later… I'm gonna say this story at least has three maybe four more chapters? I know it's not very long but… it's all I can do.

So anyway thanks for reading. Hope you liked it! REVIEW PLEASE! Arigatou Gozaimasu! =D (Oh yeah, I spoke Japanese! I said thank you…FYI) TTYL!
