GROWTH:

During the team group meetings and training sessions, Kai had noticed Hilary's body had become more mature. She starts to show more curves, her hair now reaching her lower back and even her ****** started to grow... a bit....too much...

Random passer-bys came and flirted at her

"Hey there good lookin'"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Wanna go on a date with me?"

Hn. perhaps her body had grown too mature.

"hey there pretty lady, can you let me take a picture of you?"

POW!!!!!

"PERVERT!" Hilary sends the man flying in just one punch. It was a good thing that she still stayed the same... and single.

He wondered if she wanted them both to be more than friends but fearing she might reject him.

It was better to keep these feelings to himself.

Hilary notices a change in Kai too, physically. His hair got longer and softer compared to Tyson. There was one time when she caught a glimpse of him in a rare moment where he is seen shirtless and it was a breathtaking sight.

His attitude stayed the same, always quiet and reserved. Barely has he had that habit of being arrogant and cold towards other people but eventually warms up to them like he did to her during their first meeting.

She wondered if he would ever fall for a girl like her

Their friends also notice the development and simply watch if there's any progress going on between the two. Except for Tyson, boy is he dense.

During one heated beybattle, Max whispers to his current battle companion "he took a lingering look at her direction again"

baffled, Tyson has no idea what Max was talking about "who?"

"you know who I'm talking about"

Tyson is even more confused "I honestly don't know what you are talking about and why are we whispering?"

"goodness Tyson, you are so blind"

DEVELOPING JEALOUSY

Any boy who wanted to get their hands on Hilary would have to meet Kai's approval and so does Ray who pretty much act like an older brother to her.

Hilary couldn't count the number of times some guy would finally work up the courage to come talk to her, only to have Kai stroll over besides her and then he'd stand there looking down at the poor guy trying to keep whatever conversation he was going with Hilary.

The very sight of him was so intimidating the guy ends their conversation and leaves quickly. He ran, away from Kai's obvious death glare.

too bad Hilary is too oblivious to notice his actions

"I wonder why he's on a hurry?"

"he probably has a very weak bladder" Kai said, an obvious lie

Kai was becoming pretty territorial concerning Hilary. Ray, a good friend of his smiled and gave him a friendly advice "since you scared all of her suitors. How about asking her out? y'know like a date?"

"why are you telling me this?"

Ray gave him a hint "Did you know Tyson likes her too? he might ask her out someday"

Kai didn't believe him

One step at a time

Shockingly, the chinese beyblader was right. Tyson, little by little, made his move towards Hilary. There where random acts of kindness Tyson would do for Hilary like the time he made her some hot chocolate during a cold weather, treating her out for lunch during practice, slowly and surely both friends grew close.

Kai, a person who refuse to be beaten starts to take action. He surprises Hilary when he started complementing on her looks and cooking despite knowing the fact that she's a terrible cook. Even though his stomach was complaining, seeing her smile was worth it.

Tyson finally took notice of Kai's growing fondness for Hilary and immediately went to his friends for confirmation.

"Guys, I think Kai likes Hilary" he began one day.

Max rolled his eyes 'well duh'

'gosh it took him this long to notice?'

In their minds, they were going to say those words but because of this new scenario, everything started to get very interesting. Max and Ray decided to go with the flow. They pretend they didn't now anything.

Max fakes a gasp "Kai likes Hilary?"

even Ray does the same "I would have never known"

"yeah, it takes a sharp eye like mine to see that"

Tyson said, his mood was serious in this situation.

"I once asked Kai if he likes her but he won't tell me. What will I do guys? I kinda like Hilary too!"

he added, sounding distressed. Max and Ray fell quiet for a moment. Ray was the only person having experience on a relationship with his childhood friend Mariah and offered Tyson his sagely advice .....

"do what your heart is telling you to do Tyson"

rejuvenated by his friend's words, Tyson feels like he has a chance

"I got it! I'll challenge Kai for a beybattle! he never backs down a beybattle"

Max thinks this was a bad idea

"Tyson, I don't think that would work".

Tyson was too engrossed with his plan to even listen to Max

"I can get him to confess for sure!" He took out his Dragoon and ran to find Kai.

HER DECISION

Showing him hints of affection she thought Kai has finally got closer with her and maybe this was her chance of getting them both to be more than friends.

The moment they found themselves alone, out of the blue, Hilary asks him a question

"Kai… do you.. like me?".

This caught him off guard, what was she trying to say? Was she implying on something?

"of course" he finally said

A feeling of hope filled within her but was later crushed when he later added "because we're friends". Her face was crestfallen "oh"

A part of him wanted to say how much he loved her but the other part of him was confused as this feeling of loving a person he likes and starting a relationship was all alien to him. He still needs time and he hopes Hilary could wait.

At her home, alone in her dark bedroom, she was tired. Tired of waiting for Kai, it was time for her to move on and forget her crush. Her love for him was only one-sided after all

"starting tomorrow, I'll forget ever falling in love for Kai".

It was a difficult decision for her to make but she finally made her ultimatum and move on.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

well..i know i am making it long and sad but i will show you something intresting....soon...till then wait and watch!!!

luv u guys!!!!

CONFESSIONS

Kai vs. Tyson

The two starts their battle pose, their friends standing at the sideline starts counting

"LET IT RIP!"

The two pounded on each other's beyblades with extreme sheer force.

It was a different Beybattle like no other; this was a battle of emotions for a girl who clearly has no idea what this battle was all about. She thought they were only training. Kai even has no idea what Tyson was planning. Earlier he just thought the beyblading champion wants another duel with him and having a history of never backing down on a beybattle with someone in his caliber, Kai accepted. The ever serious blader lost his focus when, in the midst of the battle, Tyson uttered something personal "Kai, you like Hilary don't you? Don't lie!"

It was so sudden it caught him off guard as his Dranzer almost went outside the beydish after receiving a blow from Dragoon. Kai quickly got his focus back as he dodged another attack "what the hell are you talking about Tyson?" Kai yelled back.

Tyson finally burst out on what he feels a feeling of jealousy "you know damn well what I'm talking about! I see the way you look at her and complements on everything she does. Hilary smiles at you differently than she does with me and it pisses me off!" Tyson then summoned Dragoon's special attack; a huge whirlwind appears around the beydish getting Dranzer to be caught by the storm. Kai tightens his fists and grits his teeth, this battle was about Hilary and both discovered the have the same feelings for one girl.

"I'm in love with her!"

Tyson finally confessed as he prepares Dragoon for the final strike.



not caring anymore about his pride, Kai finally admits his true feelings as he scream with all his might "I LOVED HER!"



to hell what uncertainty will bring, he's not running away from these emotions any longer. Dranzer exploded with powerful flames and destroyed Dragoon's powerful attack. Their beyblades fell and stopped spinning once they hit the ground. The match was a tie. Kai and Tyson still glared at each other.

Hilary heard him and felt her heartbeat stop.



She was speechless; she didn't know what to do or what to say. She clearly heard him say he loved her. All this time, and he never said anything to her. "idiot Kai"

Hearing his name, Kai looks at Hilary's direction. He can't tell whether she was angry or happy, the look on her face was too hard to tell.

"you idiot" she repeated,

this time she was sobbing, tears already flowing out of he eyes. Kai didn't know what to do but his instincts tells him to comfort her "Hilary". He didn't expect as he got close she suddenly started beating his chest with her fists albeit rather weakly and it wasn't enough to hurt him. She still repeatedly kept calling him an idiot.



"idiot Kai! you big idiot! you don't know how long I waited! Don't you know how hard it was for me to move on? I made a hard decision whether or not you where really interested in me and once I finally decided that there's nothing but friendship between us, here you are battling with Tyson and you...you... god you are so frustrating!" she stopped beating him and cried on his chest still sobbing and refuse to look him in the eyes.

Kai comforted her with a gentle hug and apologizes "I'm sorry"



"you idiot" she sniffled

"I know"

Watching the scene before him, Tyson knew he lost and walks away leaving the two to have their privacy.

Sometimes one just had to push

After the accidental confession the other day, the next morning was completely awkward between the two of them. They just sat there inside the Dojo avoiding eye contact.

Hilary fidgeting her fingers and Kai was in his usual quiet self. Max thinks this was cute but Tyson finds the new not yet official couple predicament frustrating.

Unable to take the silence anymore, Tyson exploded at Kai "for goodness sakes take her out on a romantic date already!"

Tyson nags at the new couple who are too shy for public display of affection or lack thereof. He drags both couple away and out the gates of his family Dojo.

"and don't come back unless I see you two all lovey dovey and stuff" he ordered and shuts the gate. His friends congratulate him for doing such charitable act. Tyson corrects them "don't get me wrong guys, I still like Hilary and I'm only doing it to make her happy"



Kai stayed silent, his mind is thinking up ways on what to say or what will they do today. They have been walking around town their conversations consist of just small talks. Reaching the park, they decided to take a rest at the park bench. Hilary endured the awkward and painfully long silence until Kai finally spoke "so... wanna go out for dinner tonight?"

Smiling up to him she said yes.



Meet her parents

Waiting for his date to finish dressing herself pretty upstairs, Kai didn't expect his first meeting with Hilary's parents to be like this.

sitting on the opposite side and brandishing his gun to scare his daughter's suitor he balks

"So! this is the boy whom my precious baby girl is going to date? This is a REAL GUN you know"

. Kai wasn't intimidated, being raised in harsh conditions in Russia during his childhood, Kai have already grown used to see terrible things he remembered as a child. Compared to Russian guards carrying AK47s, Hilary's father happens to be holding an air soft gun.

the mother was the complete opposite, she instantly took a liking to Kai ever since he got in the door

"oooohh! aren't you a handsome young man. Do you want some Tea?"

she offers Kai a cup. Kai being polite, accepted "thank you "

the mother blushed "oh please, call me MOM"

both her Husband and her daughter's boyfriend choked on their tea.

SMALL KISSES

Walking her home after their first date and standing outside the door to her home. There was a short awkward silent,

at first as Kai wasn't so sure if he would give her their first kiss at her door step, who knows? Her father might burst out with a gun pointing at his head.

Just to be on the safe side, he decides to takes his leave and bids her goodnight.

Disappointed of him for not making a move or thinking Kai might be a little shy, she took up the courage to make the first move herself.

Hilary swallows her nerves, she walked up to him, grasped his shoulders, and pressed her lips to his cheek. She squeezed her eyes shut, unaware that his were wide open.

Then she pulled away, blushing profusely. Kai stared at her with a look of shock on his face. She glance away avoiding eye contact.

"er... goodnight"

she made a dash inside and closed the door. Hilary leans against the door frame blushing madly at her earlier actions while outside, Kai stood there in front of the door still in shock.

His hand touching his warm cheek that Hilary kissed. Walking away, he can't help but smile.

A person hiding in the bushes dropped his air soft gun and he feels like he's getting a heart attack

"Ack! my baby girl kissed him! WHYYYYY?"

The next morning, his wife found him lying motionless on the ground "the hell happened to you?"

On the days followed afterwards they became comfortable with each other, she made it into a daily routine as she caught him off guard and pecks his cheek.

Kai would also return the favor, he didn't actually mind as long as it was only the two of them alone and away from meddling friends or her father.

They were indeed a young couple in love.

By accident, she did it after dinner at Tyson's house one night when the gang decided to have a little get-together dinner. She offered to cleanup with the dishes

. Just before she rose, out of habit and forgetting the presence of her friends at the dinner table, she leaned over and kissed Kai on the cheek as parting at which point he turns his head around and froze when both of their lips met.

Both their eyes went wide, the kiss seemed to end just as quickly as it had begun.

Hilary with her face red stood up and walked off quickly with their friends staring directly at Kai, giving him sneering smiles.

Kenny who was absent for sometime because he was following Ming Ming's concert tour in Japan has no idea on what was going on

"guys, what did I miss?"

"glad to see you finally had a relationship upgrade Kai"

Tyson said, teasing his friend. Kai simply drinks his water pretending nothing happened, hoping they would leave him alone.

It didn't work

"awww... he's blushing"
