Sorry for the delay, getting used to school that's all! ^-^ well I hope you like it. There WILL be GillxHikari moments in this one! :D

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!" I screamed as I kept kicking the tree not far by our house. (Note: What a lovely, peaceful beginning of the chapter

^-^')

Bark was flying everywhere as I kept kicking it as hard as I could. Yes, I was frustrated. Yes, I was upset. Yes, I was angry.

"Hikari!" I knew it was Gill behind me obviously.

I didn't answer though and continued to kick the tree, even harder now. If I stopped I'd probably want to kick him in the shin and run away.

"Hikari! Will you stop it! You are going to break your foot!" He sounded annoyed.

"I don't give a damn if I can never walk again!" I snapped.

He was quiet, I knew he was staring at me while I brutally kicked the tree to no end.

"You're mad." He said calmly.

That is when I snapped, I kicked the tree one more time then whipped around at him.

"Yeah! I am! You know why? Because for some damn reason everything bad happens to me! No matter what I do I always get into some sort of situation! Through the whole damn time I relied on you to frickin be there for me and then just because you are pissed off you decide to announce to the world that I was a girl pretending to be a guy! Sure enough, it worked out! The others where nice and they decided not to tell a soul about the whole thing! My brother is here so I can live my life as a girl and Roomi won't be chasing after me! My ex will no longer tell anyone that I was a guy and I probably will punch him with confidence next time I see his face! All of this suddenly happened and yet my life still sucks somehow!"

He looked puzzled "How is it still horrible?"

"Because every damn good thing that happened was because of you! I should hate you because of what you did, I put all that trust into you just so you could blow it! Yet everything suddenly turned good for me except for one thing. Every time I see you now I don't know what to think! I want to hate you but somehow I feel like I'm the one being the bitch in this! I feel like I should hate you but at the same time I feel like I shouldn't because of the way you keep looking at me now!" By the end of that sentence I was sobbing then, I had no clue if that whole thing even made sense. My fists were clenched so tight it hurt. His look was calm on his face, it was comforting somehow too. He looked down at my fist and took it in his hand gently.

"I'm sorry Hikari. I feel horrible for doing that. I was frustrated because of what happened at the Summer festival. I did like Roomi, but she isn't the person I dreamed she was. Instead off falling in love with her... I fell for you instead."

He was quit suddenly, I was too. His eyes stayed locked on mine. Finally his hand held mine tighter "That's why I want to have a second chance with you. I want us to be friends again... maybe more than that if it could be possible. I hate myself for doing that to you, I know this is a lot to ask but please give me another chance." His eyes pleaded with mine. I realized that as he talked my fist unclenched and my fingers were now intwined with his. Tears continued falling down my face "Y-you are idiotic you know that." I managed to choke. He blinked then smiled softly at me. I continued crying... but now it wasn't out of frustration. I guess you could say that I was happy and relieved that he said that he loved me... in his own way of course. He gently pulled me into a hug, I intwined my fingers in his shirt and started sobbing again. Being in his arms felt right, I felt safe and a lot calmer there. I was glad we could be friends again, or even more later on like he said.

"So they are still going to face you guys?" I asked Chihaya at the inn. I took a slurp of some soda I was drinking.

"Yeah, if we beat this team we will." He sighed "You said they are good right?"

I managed a small smile "Yeah... but they get cocky though which is their disadvantage at times."

Yuki groaned "I really don't want to see that bastard again. Why did you even go out with him Hikari?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing about you and Holly." I said.

"That girl just screamed slut." Roomi murmured and took a sip of her cream soda.

Luke groaned and put his head on the counter "I don't fell like playing a game today. I want to rest for the big one."

I looked at him "If there isn't a game today there won't be a big one."

"Get your face off the counter, I just cleaned it!" Chihaya snapped.

Roomi peaked over my shoulder "Gill, you haven't said anything about the game yet. What do you think?"

He was leaned up against the wall drinking some water, he looked over at Roomi "There isn't much to think about, only that we have to work pretty hard to beat them."

Chihaya looked over at me "After the game today we should talk over strategies to beat them. You know his team well so that should be easy."

I shrugged "I guess."

Luke jumped up "Don't just say "I guess." This is serious! You have to act like the world depends on us winning Hikari! The world will end if we-" Gill smacked him across the head.

"Quit overreacting idiot." He mumbled to Luke.

Luke rubbed his head "Sorry." He groaned.

I sighed "The main issue is my ex. He mainly is the goalie... but he is good when he wants to be. It is difficult to get passed him."

Luke scratched his chin "We could try and make him get into a "accident" before or during the ga-" Gill smacked again across the head.

"Not necessary." He said.

"Will you stop that! It hurts!" He snapped at Gill.

"Quit making foolish suggestions and comments and I'll stop." He said.

Chihaya looked at the clock "Anyway... we will need to get going. The game starts in an hour and coach wants us there early to practice."

Yuki groaned "I feel like my legs are going to fall off."

I glared at him and he shrugged as if to say "Sorry." He grabbed his bag "You two are going to watch too?" Yuki asked me and Roomi.

"Yeah, I'm going." I looked at Roomi.

"I wouldn't miss out on watching Yuki play soccer." She grinned.

I could feel Gill's eye roll even though he was behind me. I drank the rest of my soda quickly then got up "I'm ready!" I grinned.

Roomi jumped up and hugged Yuki's arm "Me too!"

She was like a leech walking with him, I was afraid they would trip over each other by how close they were and the fact that she refused to let go. Gill just stared the whole time at them, finally he glanced to me "I'm going to puke when they start kissing every damn moment."

I laughed "That might happen, I'll beat Yuki up if he overdoes it."

He smiled back, then after a few seconds he wrapped his arm around my waist real quick and said "Though, we might do the same thing later on."

I blushed and said "What do you mean? I don't kiss a guy twenty four seven."

He smirked "Well you might not but I might not be able to control myself."

I felt flustered from that comment, he chuckled and let go before the others turned around and noticed. I blushed and continued to walk with them. Roomi turned around "Hey Hikari! After the game would you like to go to the barbeque after?"

"Barbeque?"

"Yeah, Kathy and her dad host one once and a while after some games."

I looked over at Chihaya and Gill "How come I never knew this?"

Chihaya shrugged "You never asked... plus it usually happens when we are close to the end of the season."

"Huh, you guys better win. It would make it extra special."

"I'm sure we will!" Luke said pumping his fist in the air.

I grinned and we continued walking.

When we got to the game, the seats were already filling up. Kathy waved Roomi and I over, we turned around to the other guys "Good luck Yuki!" Roomi said quickly and skipped off.

I turned back to the guys "You better win guys, I want to see you beat my ex's ass." I grinned.

Gill smiled back "Don't worry, we will."

I blushed and looked to the side, Luke blinked "Why is Hikari red?"

"Aaaaalright let's go." Yuki said.

Gill smiled one last time at me then headed out to the field. I went up to where everyone was sitting. The game went well... then the their team scored to the point where they were tied 8-8. That is when I got psyched about it considering it was almost the end of the game. The guys were covered in dirt by the end of it. The opposite team got the ball but I ended up seeing Gill suddenly speed up toward the guy who had the ball. Chihaya also came up and ended up getting it, he passed it to Gill before they could respond to our team having the ball. Gill ran as fast as he could toward the other goal. Suddenly, one of the other guys tripped him slightly, he fell and tumbled over himself, suddenly he jumped back up and was able to get the ball again, only I noticed he was slower, and he limped slightly. I jumped up "Come one Gill! Keep Going! Keep Going!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

He kept running and finally he kicked it as hard as he could at the goal, it went in and all of us jumped up and cheered. He got up and limped to the bleachers, I ran down over to them "Are you okay?" I asked.

He looked up and blinked, he managed a small smile "I'm fine, just hurt my leg." He took my hand and held it softly trying to assure me he was fine.

I managed to smile back "You did a good job."

"Thanks."

I looked back down at his foot "Are you sure you will be alright?"

"Yes, don't worry."

Roomi yelled for me to come back over, I took one more glance at him then walked back to the stands. I felt fidgety the rest of the game, we ended up winning, but I felt nervous for Gill. What if he broke his foot? We all went down after to high five the guys and congratulate them. I looked over to Gill "Did they say anything?"

"Yeah, I've just got a sprain, it should be better soon though, by the time the final game happens." He got up but limped.

"Do you want to get it wrapped up? We could go to my house real quick and get it bandaged up."

He blinked "Sure."

I turned to the others "We will meet up with you later."

Yuki gave me an unsure look, like he was afraid we were going to do something "Alright."

I got Gill to lean on me and I helped him walk. We were quiet half of the time until he finally said "I guess we are going to face your school's team now."

"Yeah."

"You will have to tell us all of their moves."

"I'm sure they might change those moves for that reason exactly."

He was quiet again "Are you okay."

I laughed slightly "I should be asking you that, that looked painful, what you did out there."

"I have had a lot worse than this."

"Really."

"Well... kind of, I broke my leg once when I was younger."

"Huh."

"Have you had any injuries like that?"

"Well, a couple years ago I fractured my right arm slightly, it healed pretty quickly though."

"How did you break it?"

"One of the opposite teams we faced like to play dirty, one girl tripped while I was going full speed toward the goal and I ended up skidding into the ground. I swear that girl was actually a guy, or a girl on roid rage cause she yanked another girl's hair out and she almost got into a fist fight with a referee. She ended up getting banned from the soccer league."

"She was that bad?"

"Yeah, I almost peed myself when I first saw her." He chuckled, I continued "I am actually not as nervous when I face guys though for some reason. The girls seem much more intimidating for some reason."

We made it up to the door and I unlocked it and went in "You can have a seat right there, I'll get the bandage. I helped him sit down then I headed over to the bathroom. My face felt slightly hot because he was in my house, sure he had been in it before but for some reason I felt nervous. I came out with the wrap a few seconds later.

I looked at his foot, the ankle was swollen and red, I grimaced at how it looked "That looks like it really hurt."

He shrugged then I started wrapping it, I noticed that he seemed to blush slightly as well. I could feel the awkwardness in the room but continued wrapping his foot.

"Hikari?"

"Hmm?"

"Your ex... why did you break up with him?"

I sighed "Where to begin, he cheated on me several times, he is very selfish, he is a pig... and tons of other things."

"How many times did he cheat?"

"About four or five, I caught him in the second to last one, he said he didn't mean to so I gave him another chance, then I figured out he was cheating on me again. I asked him how many times he cheated and he told me. Even now he is still going out with all these slutty, stupid girls and cheating on everyone of them."

"You really liked him?" He asked softly.

I nodded "At first, we became good friends and finally he asked me out, I had so much fun with him, we'd go to movies, eat dinner together, hang out with friends, stuff like that. I really started liking him, to the point where I was actually think that we would become one of those couples that would end up getting married. Later he started saying I spent too much time with my friends and that I should spend all my time with him, that is when we had out first argument. We finally stopped arguing but then I started hearing the rumors that he was with this girl and that girl. I asked him, he said no. One night I was going shopping and I caught him kissing a girl. I didn't talk to him for weeks until he came up to me and apologized and asked if we could try again."

"Why did you say yes?" He asked.

"Well... I guess it was because of how I felt about him, I decided to forgive him, when I found out he was still cheating, I was devastated, I never really wanted to date after all of that."

"You know not all guys are like that."

"Yeah."

He grabbed my chin and made me look at him "I'm serious, I would never do that to you, do you understand that?"

I blushed and nodded, he smiled slightly "That guy made a huge mistake doing that to you. But if he wasn't like that and you two were still together, then I wouldn't have feelings for you like I do now."

I felt like my face was on fire now, his face was so close I could feel his breath on my lips. My heart pounded so loud I was sure he could hear it. He smiled and backed away "Were you thinking I was going to kiss you?" He joked.

I glared at him and flicked him on the forehead "That is a bad mood to do when you are with a girl you like. It ruins the moo-" Suddenly he cupped the sides of my face and pressed his lips against mine then. My mind went into a blur as he kissed me softly. My heart sounded like a helicopter now, he opened his eyes slightly to see my expression, I felt his lips curl into a smirk. He finally pulled back "I don't think it ruins the mood."

I was flustered and didn't know what to say "W-Wah?"

"I've got an idea so I'm going to give it a shot."

"W-what do you mean?"

He smiled warmly at me "Would you like to go on a date with me."

I almost passed out at the question "Um... well... uh..." I was sure my face was redder than a tomato.

"How about you wither nod or shake your head." He said. I paused for a second then I nodded slowly "Alright then, let's go." He grabbed my hand and stood up, he tested his foot real quick.

"W-where are we going?" I asked.

"To make this easy, our first date will be at the barbeque. Is that alright?" He asked.

"Uh... sure... I guess." It wasn't romantic but it was better than nothing.

"Let's go then." He said, pulling my arm lightly.

I smiled slightly and followed him.

I couldn't resist making them kiss ^-^! I thought it would be sooooo cute! Anyway, hope you liked it and please comment!
