Chapter 3: He's back

Hikaru was eating biscuits in the park. She was eating and eating... and she wasn't stopping. She was just looking in nowhere, eating. I guess she didn't really notice she was eating without stopping. But she noticed someone came next to her. Hikaru didn't turn to see who is even she heard that person's voice speaking: "You should eat less. You don't wanna be fat, right?"

Hikaru just chuckled without moving her gaze. "I will eat 'till I will become fat and beautiful. 'Till the sun goes down... Damn it!" exclaimed Hikaru and moved her eyes' attention to the ground. "I... I could hear... what Madoka told Kyoya... Why she blushed? I'm not so weak. But Kyoya still spotted me. I was behind the stairs when they talked... Madoka was about to tell him something... But that annoying Ken-"she turned to the person next to her, wanting to continue, but something cut her off.

Her brain stopped as she saw a familiar person: Hyoma. Hikaru stared like Hyoma bewitched her with his eyes. Hyoma just smirked and looked at her with a cool gaze. Hikaru closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears which started to rain on her cheeks. She hugged him bursting into tears. "What a long time you have been! I thought you were dead." she said smiling between her sobs. Hyoma just hugged her back.

Kyoya just entered the park after a perfect morning when he had the big surprise to see them. He suddenly stopped to squint and verify if what he just saw is real. Not the fact Hyoma is back... the fact he is with Hikaru. Kyoya clenched his fist without realizing. He just waited, looking at them two, without being able to do any move.

Hyoma broke the embrace and looked straight in Hikaru's eyes, who were staring at the ground. Hyoma brought her chin up and said: "Hey, stop. Look at me. Look in my eyes and tell me you still love me."

"WHAT?" exclaimed Kyoya, who was puzzled by his words.

Hikaru faced Hyoma and said with a determined expression: "I... love you." Hyoma smiled and brushed her tears. They sat down on a bench and talked about what happened in past. Kyoya continued to watch them and listened their discussion.

"But what happened?" asked Hikaru with a surprised expression. Hyoma smirked again.

"You know I'm a dreamer. I'm not crushed so easy. Well... when the storm covered Koma village and I sent you back home..."

Kyoya was shocked... Could you believe she was with him? Oh, yeah, I know... you could. But Kyoya cannot. He was gaping at them, or maybe glaring? "Oh, My God... Hikaru with Hyoma?" a voice suddenly spoken from Kyoya's behind. Kyoya slowly turned. It was none other than Madoka, surprising, with Tsubasa alongside her. Kyoya looked bored at Madoka, who was staring at Hikaru and Hyoma, gaping, too.

Suddenly, Kyoya wrapped his arms around Madoka's waist and with a firmly move and kissed her. Madoka didn't really know what she should do so she just closed her eyes, letting him kiss her. Tsubasa was... shocked. He wanted to retreat... better no. Tell Gingka? Kyoya will kill him, Madoka, too. But he's not afraid of them two.

Kyoya suddenly broke and pushed Madoka apart. He shifted to Tsubasa and threatened him:

"If you chirp a word... you will be a dead man. I will make sure this day will die together with you." Kyoya walked away. Madoka tried to follow him, but Tsubasa stopped her, staring at Kyoya.

"He felt... somehow betrayed. I understand him. And when Kyoya is feeling betrayed or harmed... he is trying to make others feel betrayed, too." said Tsubasa. Madoka looked questioningly to Tsubasa.

"Did you ever been betrayed?" she asked with a surprised tone. Tsubasa moved his eyes' gaze to the ground. He sighed and said on a sad voice:

"Yeah. But... no matter now. I gotta go." He walked away, too, letting Madoka confused, scratching her hair. She sighed and went to the B-Pit shop 'cause it seems some beys are waiting for her... When she finally arrived and started to fix people's beys, thoughts started to overwhelm her... First they were nice... then they started to become darker.

Should she tell Gingka about this? Yes... probably Gingka will forgive her... Oh... But how will she explain she liked the kiss? If Tsubasa tells Gingka she let Kyoya kiss her? Oh, oh... And the question is... why she felt so relaxed? And why she... it was just like she wished that all this time and now, when it happened, she embraced it. And now is obvious she wants it to happen again! That's her burning desire...

"No, no!" yelled Madoka and tightened in her hand that purple bey she was fixing. When Madoka realized she hurt the bey, she immediately put it down and continued her work. After about 3 hours, she finished fixing all the beys and went upstairs, where some customers were waiting. She went at the counter and gave some things to customers, and then she got some bey parts. Madoka looked really lost for a moment. Then she snapped to reality and noticed she was about to drop the parts she just got.

"Ok... who's next?" she asked, while she was about to turn. A voice spoken on a cheerful tone:

"I am. Do you give me a kiss, please?" Madoka smiled to see it was none other than Gingka, who had a big grin on his face. They went downstairs.

In this time, Hikaru arrived at home with the same big grin as Gingka. Hyoma told her he will sit in this town for a time. She put her jacket in the hanger then she stopped in the middle of the room. 'Um... What should I do now?' she thought. 'Eating, of course... I love eating.' So she walked towards the kitchen. She opened the fridge but a big surprise hit her: there's no food... Hikaru sighed. She was too lazy to go shopping and she cannot cook 'cause she doesn't know. Normally, she would ask Madoka for some help but... she was busy now.

"Ok... Time to try something new." she said as she slowly moved next to the cooker. Her expression was scared. "Tell the judge, please give me minimal..." Hikaru closed her eyes and tried to calm down. Normally, she mustn't think at Kyoya or that silly song they sang. "But I didn't mean to hurt him..."Hikaru shook her head, trying to accept the reality. Of course, she was thinking at Hyoma but... that song is jumping and playing in her brain... She tried to set fire to a match. She lost her attention for a second and she got burnt. "Ouch!" she exclaimed and snuffed out the fire. Hikaru sighed.

She set fire to another match. She dropped it on the carpet, which took fire. Hikaru snapped to reality, quickly grabbed some water and extinguish the flame. She sighed again. She wanted to fry some potatoes. Let's see...

She peeled the potatoes... After she peeled them, they were a half of what they were first. Then grabbed the knife and started to cut. She cut off about three of her fingers... which started to bleed... she let them bleed... After she finished cutting... Don't get the wrong idea... You cannot say she 'cut', 'chopped', 'sliced' or 'diced' the potatoes... I think it was about to become a grating.

Then she threw the potatoes in the frying pan where she put a lot of oil. Of course... the potatoes where full of water and when they met the oil... Some blood also flowed from her fingers straight in the frying pan and on the chips...

After she finally finished everything... she crushed all the chips and had mashed potatoes now... with blood. She also didn't know what to do and threw some salt and pepper. She also added some ketchup. Hikaru looked at her creation and thought. She got some mayonnaise and some mustard and added.

Then she started to laugh. She strewed some sugar and some cinnamon. But it needs something more... Oh, yeah... the lemon skin. And that was Hikaru's nice and delicious depressing recipe... No, it wasn't depressing. She had really much fun making it. Hikaru didn't dare to eat it. She just threw it in the waste bin.

Her fingers were still bleeding... and yeah... now she had just a half of her carpet in the kitchen. Hikaru sat down on a chair and looked to the mess around her, until she heard a familiar chuckle. This scared Hikaru. She saw Kyoya leaning against a wall in her kitchen. She got up, looking shocked to him.

"Wait... You were here all this time? And how you got here?" she asked. Kyoya laughed.

"It was easy. I think you're hungry. Why don't you let me cook?" Hikaru raised an eyebrow and laughed quietly like she didn't understand what he said. Do you imagine Kyoya in the kitchen? He just smirked and walked towards her fridge. Kyoya got some eggs, milk and whip cream. Hikaru giggled and leant against a wall, crossing her arms. He opened her cupboard and smiled. "You have sweet biscuits! This changes everything!" exclaimed Kyoya getting that sweet biscuits. Then he got currants... and some coffee... Kyoya turned to Hikaru. "Well... now you have to boil the coffee..." Hikaru looked strange to him and accepted.

"But... how am I...?" Kyoya looked puzzled at her confused expression. He started to laugh.

"You mean... you never boiled coffee?" he asked making fun of her. Hikaru kept her confused and perplexed eyes, shaking her head. She had some doubts... should she add the water or the coffee first? Somebody tell me what I'm gonna do! "Ok... first, you add some water with sugar. You add the coffee when it begins to boil." Hikaru nodded and did what Kyoya told her. But after this, an idea hit her brain.

She discretely looked at Kyoya, who was next to her, dicing some fruits. She smirked to him but he didn't notice. Hikaru slowly got the coffee pot and spilled the hot coffee on Kyoya, who closed his eyes and clenched his fist and his teeth, trying to do not scream 'cause it was so hot! Hikaru giggled.

When Kyoya finally opened his eyes and saw Hikaru spilled the coffee on him, he got angry.

"Hm... So you wanna play on the dirty side!" said Kyoya with a naughty smile on his face and threw the fruits he just cut at Hikaru, who tried to stay away and smiled to him. She also got the whip cream and threw it at Kyoya. And they started a battle with food. They were throwing with anything they were finding. They quickly became dirty and destroyed Hikaru's house. A lot of mashed food, combined with many, many fun! Until someone disturbed their... party.
