Chapter 4: Illusion

It was none other than Gingka, with Madoka and Hyoma next to him. Kyoya and Hikaru froze for some moments. Kyoya was about to throw with something at Hikaru when they entered. He slowly let it down and looked puzzled to them. Then he threw a malicious glance to Hyoma.

"What the hell is happening here?" asked Madoka. "You, guys, have to destroy everything when you are alone?" she continued snorting. Gingka raised an eyebrow while Hyoma looked confused at Hikaru.

"What have you done here, exactly?" asked Hyoma with a teasing tone in his voice, crossing his arms and waiting for an answer. Hikaru gaped to him. He noticed her fingers were red 'cause they were still bleeding. He quickly walked towards her and brought her hand closer to his eyes. "What's this? You are bleeding?" Kyoya rolled his eyes. "What did this annoying guy done to you?" This started to wind Kyoya up. He clenched his fist, trying to keep his anger away, 'cause it could get pretty messy!

Hyoma looked angrily to him while he just smirked. He slowly walked towards the hall. He stopped for some minutes in front of Madoka and stared at her. She stared at him with sadness in her eyes. He walked one step closer to her and whispered something at her ear. Madoka nodded, closing her eyes. Kyoya left, slightly pushing Madoka's shoulder with his shoulder. She kept her eyes closed until Gingka started to have some questions:

"What did he say?" he asked. Madoka didn't answer.

"Gingka... I wanna go home." she muttered with an ill voice after some moments.

When she arrived home, Madoka went straight on her sofa. He pulled her knees to her chest, wrapped her arms around them and thought. She looked at the clock: 6.43 p.m. She got up laid down on her bed. She closed her eyes and tried to relax... She looked at the ceiling 'cause she was nervous. She stole a glance at the clock: 6.46 p.m.

Madoka's P.O.V.

Oh, God... Why this Hikaru had to make these things so complicated? Damn it! Now I'm forced to... Hm... Maybe it isn't so complicated. Maybe it is easy at hell and I cannot realize. Maybe I can... do something unexpected. Whoa-? She's playing with fire! It's out of the question! Avril Lavigne sucks. It isn't sooo COMPLICATEEED. Well, maybe it is for her. Actually... I have to watch it. Kyoya, Kyoya, my beloved Kyoya... I know I should be kind cuz you know, bro... Hikaru is my friend. We cried and smiled together... She is always sharing nice songs with me... She is here when I need her... And... I'm stealing her boy... who actually she doesn't need. I cannot understand. Wait, wait, Madoka. Wake up! Who told you Kyoya is her boy? I mean... did something special happen between... them...? Cause actually between me and him happened something... But what about Gingka? He's sad and alone? Madoka... you are in trouble. Veeery, very big trouble. You, you, you, Madoka Amano, you are spinning around two boys! What would daddy say about this?

End of Madoka's P.O.V.

She looked at the clock again: 7.02 p.m. She slowly closed her eyes and tried to calm down and relax. 'Maybe I can...' but before her brain could prepare the information, she already fell asleep. And she was sleeping so nice...

When she woke up, she was still there. She looked at the clock again: 8.11 p.m. Madoka startled and quickly got up. She yawned and hurried up to leave her house 'cause she got business somewhere and she was a bit late.

Outside was dark. She walked thoughts the streets until she arrived in a nice part of the park, where weren't any people. She waited there, rubbing her hands until someone's voice spoken from her behind: "So you finally came... You are courageous... Don't you know the lion can eat you if you are walking outside at night?" When Madoka turned and saw the person was Kyoya, who kept his promise to meet her there, she took her only chance...

She quickly moved towards him, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Kyoya didn't felt... surprised or impressed. He knew this is inevitable, so he just responded her by kissing her back. Even he wasn't used to kiss nice girls, he accustomed with Madoka. However, she broke first.

"So... you are here..." said Madoka while they were close enough that their foreheads were brushing.

"Yeah... I'm here."

In this time, Hikaru solved the problem with her fingers and thought she has some moments to spend with her boyfriend so she, Hyoma and Gingka were outside for a walk, talking about beyblade, about their lives, about many things. Gingka was wondering where Madoka could be, cause she wasn't at home.

Of course, Gingka had NO IDEA his girlfriend was just... enjoying Kyoya's lips. So they continued their walk. But Hikaru was feeling a bit... worried. She had no reason, but she felt something is happening. Like a kind of telepathy. She stopped, which made the guys look questioningly. She thought, biting her lip and staring at the ground. "Guys... where's Kyoya?" Hyoma sweat dropped.

"What do you care about him?" he asked, being nervous. Gingka looked suspiciously. Hikaru didn't care about them. She got the cell from her pocket and called Kyoya's number.

About Kyoya and Madoka... I don't really know what they were doing. Kyoya was trying to talk with Madoka about the subject they had to talk, but Madoka seem to want a night of kisses. When Kyoya heard his cell, he said 'thanks, God' and answered. Madoka still tried to steal his attention and Kyoya was hardly staying away from her kisses to can talk.

Kyoya: Oh, yeah, I'm here for you.

Hikaru: Kyoya? I'm Hikaru.

Kyoya: Hikaru? Oh, hi. What's on?

Hikaru: I was worried about you. What are you doing? Are you at home? Or, tell me you're ok. Did anything happen?

Kyoya (on a surprised tone): What? Baby, tell me, who am I? I'm Kyoya. Do you know any lion in this town that can eat me? Seriously... I'm fine. What about you? (on a lower tone) Are you still bleeding? Did Hyoma calm down?

Hikaru (giggling): He's fine. He's with me. He is very angry 'cause you call me 'baby'. He-he. (she heard Madoka getting angry because Kyoya is calling Hikaru 'baby') But... who's with you? I hear...

Kyoya (cutting her off, on a nervous voice): Ah, ah... nothing. It was... nobody. Forget. I have to go... Bye.

Conversation end

"This guy is... I wonder why I care about him." said Hikaru in a huff.

"Stop, Madoka, stop! You misunderstood! I cannot... We are wandering from the subject!" tried Kyoya to calm Madoka down. He was trying so hard to keep her away... until he found a brilliant idea. He just simply yelled, like he usually does: STOP!" And she stopped.

"Ok, my lady. I told you we have to talk about our agreement." Madoka looked at him with a determined expression and nodded."Good... did you...?" Madoka nodded at this. "But you? Did you...?" asked Madoka on a lower tone. Kyoya also nodded at this. Madoka gave him something like a ticket and whispered:

"Listen here: He's going next week, on Tuesday. Today is Saturday. I'm the only one who knows she is coming with him. I don't know why she doesn't want people to know... but I know I'd do the same. I think it is during about some weeks or a month, but I'm not sure. You can go with them. Everything is written here. Just give the ticket to the woman you see in the front of that house. She's old; she is about 70, so she doesn't know that she has to admit just two people: them. Take care... you will need to be patient. I know that's not your best quality... The address is also written on the card. Do not forget you have to arrive there after they do." Kyoya took the card and turned.

"And with this... we forgot everything ever happened. Starting now, I'm just the cold and unsupportable Kyoya you knew. And you are just the silly and cute Madoka who is fixing beys and cooking cakes. But be sure I'll not forget to pay this duty."

When he arrived home, Kyoya went straight to his living room and searched for a book. He searched a lot, without any result... He searched and searched, until he saw a certain book behind his book shelves. He took it but he discovered more books like it. He got them all and put them on his table. He sat down and looked at the books, opening them several times.

The first book's title was 'Cinderella'. It was icy blue with a damned girl drawn on it. The next was called 'Pinocchio', and following it were some books with stomach-turning titles like 'Snow-White', 'Ariel', 'Beauty and Beast' or 'Peter Pan'. Kyoya opened the first book and started to read. He read some phrases and then he closed the book, being ready to vomit. I mean... even he didn't read these stories when he was little, he knew that if a girl is clever, beautiful, poor and has two stepsisters who were wearing expansive dresses and were yelling to her... this means that girl will become a big hero, starting with nothing.

You see... this kind of stories hates Kyoya. They have lack of reality. Happy endings make him vomit. They are full of optimism... which makes them suck. It's like that girls are putting on airs, trying to impress him. The stories are unreal. In our lives, we always are sad. We break up, we are heartbroken, our family dies... There's no prince who can save us, appearing from nowhere and falling in love with us. There are... no happy lovebirds or happy children with their parents... living forever... happy. Yack. Princes and princesses are an illusion. My friend... princes are in a political fight for the kingdom cause they wanna have a lot of money and power... so do they care about princesses? Oh, c'mon... Wake up.

Can you talk about the magic of a kiss? C'mon... all they want is probably your money... and rarely this happens because they love your perfect photo model back. Women are marrying with princes because they will have a lot of expansive things and they will live in luxury... not because love. People are smart. They know that if they are using others they can rule the world.
