Chapter 8: Rude Awakenings

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Kai!” Hilary screamed as the world went black and lightening flashed through all her body. Then she felt herself collapse on top of his chest, the lightening gone and her body filled with a pleasant tiredness. She smiled as she felt Kai’s hands on her back, stroking her long hair. She vaguely made out a dull roar and knew that it was Kai who cried out her name. She sighed as she snuggled closer to him, trying to keep him inside her. “Mm.”

“Comfortable?” Kai slurred as he played with the ends of her hair. He smiled as her only response was to only snuggle closer to him. He took in a sharp breath as she tried to keep him inside of her. She lazily moved her pelvis a here and there, as if she were trying to get a good grip on him. He blinked as the flames of desire were started to climb again because of her movements. He could not believe that he wanted her again, not so soon. ‘What the hell did I eat? I know I didn’t eat any oysters!’ The more he tried to ignore his want, the more it seemed to grow. “Hilary? Are you tired?”

“Mm?” Hilary sighed as lifted her head and gave him a sleepy smile. “Me?”

“Never mind,” Kai sighed as he gritted his teeth. That sleepy smile as he looked at her, it made her look like a kitten that got cream and caviar for dinner. He’d never seen anything so sexy in his life. “You’re tired.”

Hilary felt her head lower to his collarbone and gave him a nipping kiss before she sat astride him. She smiled as she took more of him inside her and rotated her hips slightly, making him arch. “But very willing, Kai.”

“Oh, that’s good,” Kai gasped as her moist channel squeezed him. He laid his hands on her hips, steadying her. He thrust his hips up, making her gasp. “I have no idea why I’m so ready to take you again.”

“Maybe someone slipped you some Viagra,” Hilary gasped as Kai thrust into her. “If they did, then I’m not complaining.”

“Neither am I,” Kai gasped as Hilary ground herself into him. He retaliated by moving his hands on her breasts, kneading them.

“Kai!” Hilary whispered as the fire in her started to grow to a higher level again. Then a sudden urge came over her as her nose twitched. “Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!”

“Hilary!” Kai roared as her inner muscles involuntarily squeezed him and pushed him over the edge and he released himself into her. When he regained his senses, he glared up at her as he panted. “What was that? How could you sneeze?”

“I have no idea, I just had to. Maybe someone’s talking about me,” Hilary sniffed as she blinked at him. “You just had an orgasm without me.”

“Yeah, I did,” Kai said sourly as he stroked her outer thighs. He gave her an apologetic look. “Sorry. I lost control when you squeezed me hard while you sneezed.”

“Don’t be,” Hilary said as she waved it away. She wasn’t too happy that her heart was still racing and her body wanted completion, but there was no way that she would make Kai feel bad for leaving her hanging. Sighing and willing herself to calm down, she let herself lay on top of him, resting on her arms on top of his chest. She smiled shyly at him. “But you know something? I think I liked watching you.”

Giving her a crooked smile, Kai looked at her through hooded eyes. “Did you now? Then we’re even, I know I like looking at you when you fly apart first.” He pulled her hair away from her face. “I’m sorry but I don’t think I can get one up soon.”

“That’s okay,” Hilary said with a small moue. She smiled as she wrapped her arms under his shoulder blades and rested her head against his chest. “I don’t have to have one. I think I just like it being here like this, with you inside me.”

“And I know that I definitely like being inside you,” Kai smiled as he moved the hair from her face. “Maybe the Viagra’s worn off.”

“You really think that someone slipped you Viagra?” Hilary asked as she lifted her head curiously. Then she frowned as a thought occurred. “Or do you take it?”

“I know that I don’t take it,” Kai scowled back as he looked at her. “Why should I take it? Why would I need it?”

“Maybe to impress the legions of fan girls that seem to stalk you on every other corner,” Hilary answered back.

“Why should I want to do that?” Kai demanded in disbelief. “They’re all annoying as hell, worse than Daichi on a sugar high.”

“That can be annoying,” Hilary agreed with a chuckle. She looked at Kai under her eyelashes as she bit her lip. Mustering all the courage she had at the moment, she blurted, “So you’ve never wanted to impress any of the girls around?”

“Well, there’s only one girl that I’ve wanted to impress- that I’ve been trying to impress for quite sometime now,” Kai drawled after a minute. He crooked his finger under her chin. “But she’s never noticed me until I was sick. And suddenly, she was there.”

“Oh.” Hilary’s eyes widened. “She’s noticed him long before he was sick and she’s also seen that he’d leave whenever she’d enter the room. He made her think that he didn’t want to be around her.”

“Never,” Kai said fiercely as he pulled her closer to him. “He was just afraid that he was going to do something stupid- like smack Tyson or Daichi for being a brat to her.”

Hilary giggled. “She wouldn’t have minded, in fact, she’s done just that several times.”

“I know, I’ve seen you,” Kai chuckled as he held her close. He smiled in contentment, happy to just have her in his arms. Then he felt her shiver. “Are you cold?”

She shivered again. “Maybe I am cold a little. Maybe we can pull up the blankets?”

Chuckling, Kai pulled the blankets up to cover them. Hilary sighed. “This is nice- almost as nice as having you inside me.”

As she sighed contentedly again, he put his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. “I know I like being inside you.”

He frowned as a stray thought came around. “I naked and you still have your clothes on. Why is that? You know that you’re not leaving, right?”

“The doctor undressed you, not me,” Hilary yawned as she looked at him. She felt him start to pull down her blouse and bra, so she lifted her arms to help him, crushing her breasts against his chest. Her breath caught as she felt the double sensation of his warm skin in front of her and his calloused palms rubbing slowly went over her back. Who knew that her skin was so sensitive? “And I never got the chance to undress. Someone wouldn’t give me time.”

“I wonder who that was,” Kai murmured as he placed a nipping kiss on her shoulder. He smiled as she rubbed herself against his chest, his hands roaming all over her supple back and lower. He could feel the hard points of her nipples as she sighed. “I’m sure that it wasn’t me.”

“And I could have sworn it was,” Hilary said as she gave him a quick kiss on his chin. She then lifted herself up slightly to start unzipping her skirt.

Kai’s eyes darkened as he felt her move her hands towards her skirt. He reached for her hand. “Stop, don’t take off your skirt.”

Puzzled, Hilary lifted her head to look at him. Kai cleared his throat as he tried his best to answer her. “I like your skirt. Or more to the fact-” He sneaked his other hand under her skirt to stroke the soft skin there, just where his hardness was still in her. His eyes gleamed as he felt his need for her return. “I like playing under your skirt.”

“I can feel that,” Hilary gasped as she felt him lengthen and harden inside her. She slowly smiled at him. “You just got back your second wind.” She lowered her eyes as she slowly astride him, taking more of him into her. “Looks like the Viagra is kicking in. Are we going to go together?”

“We’ll see,” Kai gasped. He put his hands on her thighs to help guide her hips. “But, you’re going to have to do all the work.”

“Fine by me,” Hilary gasped as arousal went like lightning through her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“You know what I mean, a hawk,” Mariah repeated as she looked at Tyson and Robert puzzled. “He watches her like that.”

“Oh, really?” Ming-Ming interrupted frostily. “I never noticed that little fact-”

“And when have you noticed this fact?” Robert demanded as he looked at Mariah. “That he watches her like a hawk would?”

Mariah scowled at the autocratic tone that Robert was giving her. “Anyone with eyes can see-”

Tyson scowled as he thought about it. Kai watched Hilary? She had to be kidding. “I’ve never seen him do that- and what the hell do you mean swooping down to claim his girl? Hilary is not Kai’s girl!”

“I never said that she was his girl,” Mariah replied blandly as she watched Tyson’s mottled face and silently speculated on the reason. She looked at Robert. “I merely said that he has a tendency to watch over her like a hawk watching his prey.”

“I think you meant something more than that, I know you did,” Tyson growled through lowered brows. “Am I right? Right?”

“Why, Tyson, you sound jealous!” Ming-Ming exclaimed with wide eyes, her tone mocking as she looked at him. The slid a glance towards Robert. “And you…Do you like Hilary?”

Johnny grinned as he stated, “Yeah, sounds to me that you-”

“Do not finish that thought, Johnny. She is merely a good friend and I vastly enjoy her company,” Robert warned stiffly. “She is the only one here that can converse about things other than beyblades. And she can play an excellent game of chess.”

“How good?” Johnny demanded as he scowled at Robert. “Is she better than me?”

“We are currently tied at two apiece,” Robert smirked. As Johnny’s mouth opened like a gaping fish, Robert covered his amusement with a cough. Currently, Johnny had lost eight games since the tournament had started.

“I am not jealous! And I don’t like her that way! She’s an annoying nag and always telling me to do my homework and treating me like a little kid when I’m not!” Tyson shouted as he glared at Ming-Ming. “She’s always telling me what to do and- and- and- other stuff!”

“And what other stuff?” Mariah asked politely as Tyson was at a loss for words.

“Stuff!” Tyson shouted in frustration. “Stuff I can’t remember right now!”

“Gee, Tyson, you’re a regular orator,” Garland drawled as he smirked at Tyson.

“Shut up Garland,” said Tyson with a glare. He took a threatening step towards Mariah. “And you’re going to tell me what the hell you mean by Kai looking after Hilary like a hawk or else!”

“Oh, this isn’t good,” Rei muttered as he looked between Tyson and Mariah, torn between protecting his girl and protecting Tyson from his girl.

“Or else what?” Mariah taunted as she crossed her arms. Tyson was about to answer when the door slammed open.

“Hey, little dude! What’s going on?” demanded Grandpa as he slammed open the door to the suite. “We just heard and rushed over!”

“Tyson! What were you thinking?!” Kenny shouted as he barged into the room. Tyson and Daichi groaned as the Chief went into a full panic mode. “How could you and Daichi attack Lee and Rei? I knew I should’ve stayed if Hilary wasn’t going to be there! I knew she shouldn’t have stayed with Kai! She could have watched over you-”

“Not you too!” Daichi hollered as he glared at Kenny and Grandpa. “You don’t think that she’s my leash too! And she’s not my babysitter!”

“Hilary is not my babysitter either!” Tyson yelled at Kenny. “I don’t need her to watch over me! I am not a child for her to look after or control!”

“She’s not your baby sitter! She just keeps the two of you out of trouble!” Kenny shouted back. “But look what happened since she wasn’t there- maybe she should be your babysitter!”

“Is that what you think?” Tyson hollered back. “That I need a babysitter?”

“Tyson! Daichi! I want an answer straight up! Is that what started the fight?” Hiro demanded as he looked at Tyson and Daichi. “That she was called your babysitter? Or the fact that Hilary is with Kai?”

“Hilary is not my babysitter!” Tyson hollered as he glared at his brother. “I don’t like the fact that everyone keeps calling her that! And it doesn’t bother me that she’s with Kai!”

“Could have fooled me,” Lee whispered to Rei as he watched Tyson and Daichi go off again. Rei simply nodded as he watched the scene unfold.

“She’s not my babysitter!” Daichi hollered again. “I am not a child! And I don’t need to be watched over!”

“Newsflash, kid- men don’t start fights during press conferences,” Garland said mildly as he looked at Daichi. “They hold their temper and bear with it.”

Enraged, Daichi glared at Garland as he clenched his fists. “Oh, yeah?”

“Not again,” Mr. Dickenson groaned as he pointedly looked at Daichi and Tyson. “There will be no fighting in here.”

“Daichi! Cool it!” Blushing furiously, Tyson glared at his older brother. “That and I thought that Kai would hurt Hilary while she was taking care of him.”

Alarmed, Robert stared at Tyson. “You think that Kai would hurt Hilary?”

“Why would Kai hurt Hilary?” Kenny demanded as he stared at Tyson. “He’s always been there to act as protection whenever we’ve been in trouble.”

Stubbornly, Tyson glared at Kenny. “Oh yeah? Name one-”

Kenny lifted his fingers to tick off the count. “Like the time we were on that freaky island and they were after the bit-beasts. He covered Hil and me when there was a rockslide. He made sure she was the first up the cliff we had to climb. He made her stand behind him whenever those brainwashed Psykicks attacked. And let’s not forget the times when Ozuma and gang-”

Tyson scowled. “Fine- you have a point-”

“Well, he was the one that caught Hil when Max went after that kid with Kraken,” Max said as he looked at Tyson, confused.

“I said, fine!” Tyson scowled as he looked at Max and Kenny. “So he makes sure that she doesn’t hurt herself-”

“Glad to know I’m right,” Kenny said as he looked at Tyson owlishly. “So why would you think that he’d hurt her? Tyson?”

“Well, Max, all I could remember was what happened the last time a girl was in his room, you know, in Europe,” Tyson blushed as he looked at the ceiling then at his friends. Rei winced as twin blushes graced Max’s and Kenny’s cheeks. “See, you guys do remember. That’s why I was so anxious- didn’t want to see her hurt by him.”

“Oh, I get it. Well, Tyson, even if he did manage to wake up, he’d have a hard time trying to hurt Hilary,” Kenny said with a chuckle. “In fact, I’d be more worried about Kai if I were you.”

Puzzled, everyone looked at each other then at the beyblade expert. Finally, Daichi couldn’t stand it anymore. “And why would you be more worried about Kai?”

“Because, Hilary’s not only got a sharp tongue, she can back it up if she starts talking about violence. Believe me, make her angry enough, and you’d have your head on a platter by the time she was through with you,” Kenny said with a shrug. At their disbelieving gazes, Kenny shook his head. “Guys, how many times have I been taken hostage since Hilary’s been with us?”

“At least three times?” Max hazarded as he looked at Kenny. “And Hilary’s been with you all those times, right?”

“And she’s always been knocked out of it almost every single time, hasn’t she?” Rei said as he looked at Kenny. “She’s that good, huh?”

“It’s the only way to get her to stop whipping their asses,” Kenny said as he nodded. “And even then, you’d better make sure she’s totally out.”

“Maybe I should spar with her,” Mariah mused as thought about the possibilities. “I knew she practiced martial arts as exercise but she never said anything about using it.”

“You should spar with her,” Grandpa agreed as he looked at Mariah. “She’s actually not bad with the wooden kendo sword.”

“I wonder why she wouldn’t say anything about her martial arts abilities,” Judy wondered as she looked at her husband who shrugged.

“Probably because she thought that guys would be more afraid of her than they already are,” Ming-Ming tittered. “I mean, she’s already called Hellfire Hilary because of her mouth. How much more afraid of her would they be if they knew she could whip their asses?”

“I don’t think that’s the reason,” Mathilda said as she glared at Ming-Ming. “I know Hilary and I know that she doesn’t care what people think of her. Besides, who cares if she can fight? What’s wrong with a woman being able to take care of themselves? Nothing! Right, Miguel?”

“That’s right. Hilary probably thinks nothing about it,” Miguel said as he smiled at Mathilda. He gave Ming-Ming a bland smile. “And if guys are afraid that she could whip their asses, then they have no real business being around her.”

Ming-Ming looked at Miguel skeptically. “You can’t honestly mean that you wouldn’t mind an Amazon for a girlfriend, Miguel?”

Robert crossed his arms as he looked at Ming-Ming down his autocratic nose. “The Amazons of Ancient Greece were of a noble race. In fact, family legend has it that my line was descended from them.”

“How nice for you,” Ming-Ming said faintly.

“No way is Hilary that good,” Garland snorted as he looked at Kenny. “She’s just a girl.”

Max shook his head. “I wouldn’t doubt Kenny’s facts if I were you- when people do, they get in trouble that way.”

“Besides, we already know that Hilary has one heck of a fist,” Daichi said as he rubbed his head in a remembered pain. “But why the hell are we on the subject of Hilary? Can we eat now?”

“Yeah, are we done?” Tyson demanded as he looked at Hiro then at Mr. Dickenson. “I want to check up on Hilary before I get something to eat. She’s been with him for over three hours now.”

“You mean to say that you did not even make sure that she would have something to eat?” Robert asked through narrow eyes. At Tyson’s red face, Robert shook his head and walked over to the phone. “I’ll call room service to make sure that she is fed then she how she is.”

“Wait a minute! Are you both going to relieve Hilary?” Kenny asked as he looked at Tyson doubtfully. “I don’t know that’s not a good idea if Robert and you go, Tyson. Kai really wouldn’t appreciate you watching over him while he’s asleep. He decked most of us the last time we all shared a suite. Except Hilary. And that’s because she was in a separate room.”

Max winced. “Yeah, Chief’s got a point, Tyson. Maybe you shouldn’t relieve Hilary from watching Kai. You’d probably just get hurt.”

“It’ll be safe, Max. What will happen is this: Tyson and Robert relieve Hilary. Kai wakes up. Robert and Tyson are down on the floor; snoring life away,” Rick chuckled as he looked at Tyson. “And Hilary is watching over the three of them. Babysitting again.”

“I hardly think that will happen,” Robert said coolly as he looked at Rick.

His face mottled with anger, Tyson glared at Rick. “Damn it, how many times do I have to tell you- Hilary is not my babysitter!” He looked at everyone and glared. “And anyone who thinks that she is- They had better be prepared to eat those words.”

“You want a piece of me?” Rick growled as he started to get up. He stopped when he felt Max’s and Crusher’s hands on him, but he never took his eyes off of Tyson.

“Don’t you dare go after him, Rick,” Judy ordered as she stood in front of him.

“Any time,” Tyson glared as he looked at Lee. He was vaguely aware that Daichi, Rei, Max and Kenny were holding him back. “I can take you. Hilary is not my babysitter.”

“Back off, Tyson,” Hiro barked as he stood between the two. “You too, Rick.”

“And with those famous words from Tyson, I think I have had enough of this farce,” Tala sneered as he looked at Tyson. He rose to his feet. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going up to see how Kai’s doing. He is, after all, my partner.”

“Yes, if there’s nothing else, can we leave now?” Ming-Ming asked as she batted her eyes at Mr. Dickenson. “I really want to see my fans at this exciting party at a nightclub they’re throwing just for me. I know that it won’t be boring.”

“Only for people who has a high tolerance for low wattage,” Mariah added sweetly. “Eep!”

“Behave, I want out of here soon,” Rei scolded as Mariah stared at him, rubbing her bottom.

Lee covered his red face with his hand. “Could you please not grope my sister in front of me?”

“Does that mean you’ll allow him to grope her behind you?” Bryan asked with curious blandness. Lee lifted his hand to glare at him as Mariah giggled.

“Ahem. If everyone is all right, I suppose they can go, however,” Mr. Dickenson said as he looked at Ming-Ming then everyone else and finally his eyes rested on Tyson. “I want you all to know that this fist fighting cannot continue. Something will be done.” He gathered up his hat and cane. “And now I will leave and tell you of what will happen in the morning. Good-night.”

Silence followed the elderly man as he went out the door. Hiro shook his head as he looked at Tyson. “What do you have to say for yourself, Tyson?”

“I know I messed up,” Tyson groaned as he looked at Hiro. “But I’ll make it up- I don’t know how, but I will.”

“Great, you can start now,” Hiro said blandly as he looked at Tyson, then at Daichi. “The two of you can start by doing a hundred push-ups and hundred sit-ups. Now!”

“A hundred sit-ups and push-ups?” Daichi screeched. “But I’m-”

“You have got to be kidding me!” Tyson goggled at his brother.

“You have enough energy to fight, you have enough energy to exercise,” Hiro stated firmly. “Start before I increase the number.”

Shaking his head, Tala looked at Bryan. “I’m going up to check on Kai. Then I’m off to bed.”

“Watch your face,” Bryan warned as he looked at Tala’s retreating back. He shook his head as Tala simply waved away his warning. “Just because he was lucky once…”

“Well, I think we should be off,” Mariah as she cheerfully looped her arm around Rei’s. She smirked as she saw Daichi and Tyson drop down. “Toodles, boys.”

“And as much as I like this scene, I am out of here,” Garland said as he waved good-bye. He looked at Crusher and Monica, then at Miguel and Mathilda. “Want to get something to eat?”

“Food!” Daichi groaned as he looked at Garland’s retreating back with daggers ion his eyes. He glared at every retreating blader. “Food!”

“And that sounds like a good idea,” Grandpa said as he looked at Kenny. “Let’s get some grub for ourselves. Max- you coming?”

“I’m eating with my mom and dad,” Max nodded as he looked at his parents. “I’ll see you in the morning, Grandpa, Chief. Rick, guys, what are you doing?”

“I’m eating with Bryan, and we need to settle a bet,” Rick replied as he crossed his arms. “You guys wanna come? Johnny? Lee?”

“As long as I can stay away from my sister and Rei’s lovey-dovey faces, yeah,” Lee shuddered.

“Why not? I can use some food,” Johnny muttered as he gave a black look at Robert who was on the phone. “They’re tied?”

“No food,” Hiro said as he looked at the young red-head. “This should teach you boys to hold in your tempers. You’re not children anymore so start acting like adults.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tala chuckled as he made his way up to Kai’s suite. He had to admit, it was fun baiting Daichi and Tyson. With them, you could always be sure of where you stood with them. He shook his head as he exited the elevator. His eyes briefly met with an attractive young woman about his age entering it. She gave him a look as he winked at her then chuckled as she upturned her nose at him. ‘Ah- duty first then pleasure.’

Entering Kai’s suite and switching the lights to bright, Tala sighed as he started to pull off his jacket then stopped. He cocked his head as he heard a strange noise. In fact, there were several strange noises. His eyes widened as he looked at the closed door to Kai’s room. Tiptoeing, he twisted the knob and opened the door slightly. And his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

“Holy shit,” Tala whispered as he took in the sight. From his angle, he could see the side of the bed and straight to the balcony. And on that bed was some girl, her kick ass body illuminated by the moonlight and a really dim light, squealing, moaning and throwing her head back as she sat astride someone on the bed. And by the noise she was making, Tala was sure that she was about to cum. “Damn.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Kai,” Hilary moaned as she felt himself push into her. Her eyes were clamped shut as she felt the heat build into an inferno in her lower belly. Catching his rhythm, she felt her head roll back as she tried to prolong her pleasure. “Ohm…mm…ah!”

“Hilary,” Kai grunted as he surged upward into her. His eyes gleamed as he saw her throw her head back, moaning his name as she rode him. He gasped as she started to move faster, moaning louder, gasping as she tightened around him.

He felt his restraint start to break when he saw a ray of light at the corner of his eye. Someone was in his suite!

Anger filled him as the ray of light remained. Quickly, he grabbed Hilary’s waist and flipped her beneath him, forcing her legs to wrap around his waist. He ignored her squeak of protest as he brought her hips up and rammed himself up to the hilt into her. He latched his mouth on to hers, silencing her. He felt her hands reach for a hold on his shoulders, in his hair, trying to bring him even closer to her. He felt himself start to lose his control, lose himself into her, when he realized that the ray of light was still shining. And that someone was still out there.

He stopped only long enough for him to pull up the covers over their heads. Then he latched on to her mouth as he buried himself in her, so hard and so fast, she gasped into his mouth. Anger filled him again as he drove himself harder into her, setting a pace she was couldn’t resist, making her start to cry out.

He swallowed every would-be scream, every moan she made as he thrust into her tight, moist channel. Sweat broke out as he lifted her hips hit his hands, making her helpless against his thrusts. He gritted his teeth as he approached the razor edge of pleasure. This was intolerable! No one was going to see or hear his Hilary when she flew apart in his arms. It was their time together and how dare the intruder watch!

The heat was getting to be an inferno as her muscles started to clamp around his hardness. She held on to him as the fire started coursing through her. She was vaguely aware when he lifted her hips, intensifying the pleasure making it razor sharp as he buried himself so deep, so fully inside her that she needed to scream. Suddenly, he hit something inside her- she couldn’t stand it anymore- She couldn’t get close enough to it. She couldn’t get enough of him! She could see the stars start to form around her eyes as she looked at the face of the one she loved. And all the stars started to scream his name before they faded into black. “Kai!”

Groaning as her snug channel became a velvet vise around him, Kai fought for control as he pounded into her, forcing her to reach her peak before him. He couldn’t relax, knowing there was an intruder. But he would be damned if he would leave her unsatisfied just so he could deal with him. He groaned as he swallowed every moan and every sound- angry that he couldn’t hear her vocalize her pleasure. Then he felt her try to scream as he thrust harder and harder into her. Kai felt his eyes nearly cross as he felt her tighten even more and a second later he heard her scream into his mouth as she flew apart in his arms. Unable to stand it anymore, he let his control go- and felt himself release into her as the room exploded.

Opening his eyes and panting for air, Kai lifted himself slightly and looked behind him to see if the door was still open. But darkness filled the room, and only a crack of light came from under the door. He looked quickly at the woman under him. “Hilary?”

“Mm,” she groaned as she barely moved. Kai pulled away carefully, listening to her breathing, waiting to see if she would awaken. But all she did was make a noise as he pulled away from her. A feeling of tenderness went through him as he saw a form on her lips. He pulled the covers gently over her, waiting for her to waken, but when she did not, he let out a silent sigh of relief.

“I’ll be back,” Kai whispered as he kissed her forehead. He narrowed his eyes as he made out his clothes on the chair next to the bed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sitting on the edge of the couch, sipping his drink, Tala had to shake his head as his eyes kept wandering to the closed door to Kai’s room. Tala had to get a cold drink after seeing that silhouette performance. Who knew that barely seeing sex but hearing it could be so arousing? And those muffled sounds that the girl was making- he had no doubt that if Kai hadn’t flipped her over and taken control of her mouth, she’s have been screaming so loud the hotel staff would have barged into the room thinking that Kai was killing someone!

‘In a way, he was’ Tala snickered the thought silently. He looked at the closed door again and imaged that it was him, not Kai, who was banging on that faceless girl. That it was he who was making her scream her lungs out. He indulged in the fantasy for a minute before hr ruefully looked down at his pants, which were strained to its limit. Sighing, Tala reached down and adjusted himself just as Kai stepped out from the room. ‘He would have all the luck.’

“What the fuck are you doing here?” Kai demanded as he shut his room door firmly. His eyes blazed with anger as he looked at Tala. He did not miss the gesture of Tala adjusting himself and he grew even more infuriated with the red-headed blader, knowing that Tala was getting a woody imagining that it was himself who was in bed with Hilary. “Get the fuck out of here.”

As soon as Kai stepped out from the room to face him, Tala gave his friend a smirk. “And hello to you too, Kai. So the mighty Iceman has fallen and gave in to his baser emotions.” He came around couch to get a better look at his shirtless friend and let out a low whistle. “Man, you must have torn into her the way she’s marked you up.”

“What the fuck are you talking about and why are you here?” Kai demanded as he ignored the remark and glared at Tala through narrow eyes. Then he shook his head as he walked toward Tala. “Never mind that, just get the hell out of here, Tala.”

Shaking his head, Tala gave out a loud snort. “Is that anyway to speak to your partner who just came up to see how you were? Anyway, you really should have a look at yourself, Kai. You’re a fucking mess.”

“Who cares? You can see that I’m fine, now get out,” Kai ordered as he crossed his arms. Anger coursed through his veins as he glared at Tala.

“What’s the hurry?” Tala asked blandly as he cocked an eyebrow. “From the fact that you’re here, seems to me that she’s either asleep or simply waiting for you to come back.”

Remaining silent lest he do something he was sure he was going to regret, Kai simply looked at Tala, refusing to answer any inquiry. “Get out.”

Instead of obeying, Tala took a swig of his drink. “You’re sounding like a broken CD. Why should I leave? This is the first time I’m in a room where I can enjoy myself by teasing you about your fall from grace.”

At Kai’s silence, Tala simply shrugged and took a sip from his drink. “Anyway, I come bearing news about the press conference. There was an incident that you have to know about.”

“So tell it and get out,” Kai said tersely.

“Oh, I will, Kai. But first I gotta know,” Tala smiled innocently as he looked at Kai. He brought his head lower and leered at the door. “Think I have a chance with her? And how the hell did you sneak in the fuck bunny-Argh!”

“She’s not a fuck bunny!” Kai roared as his fist smashed into Tala’s face, sending him flying into the cocktail table, smashing it to pieces. “Now get out!”

Scrambling into a defensive stance, Tala roared back at Kai, “What the fuck is a matter with you? She’s only a groupie- you know how they work! They can fuck you one night then they move on!” He dodged Kai’s other fist by a hair. “It’s not like they’re loyal to your dick or anything! Any fuck bunny you meet up in these things aren’t worth the sign-up sheets!” He dodged another blow. “Stop trying to deck me! Kai! You know I’m right! That was the only lesson that Boris and Voltaire proved correct! Groupies all give it up the second they’re in your room! Urp!”

“Kai!” Tala gasped as Kai’s hand wrapped around his throat. He tried to pry the other boy’s hand off of his throat, seriously afraid that he was going to die this time. “You know that I’m right! Any girl that wasn’t invited to your room is a groupie or fuck bunny and you know it!”

Controlling his anger as he stared at Tala’s reddening face, Kai slowly spoke. “Yeah, you’re right about groupies and fuck bunnies.” Kai brought his face closer to Tala’s. “But you’re wrong in thinking that she’s either. She’s not.”

He quickly walked over to the door, threw it open then threw Tala against the opposite wall, dazing him. “Now get out of here.”

Slamming the door closed, Kai fisted his hands as he stared murderously at the closed door.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Barely conscious, Hilary sighed with pleasure as she heard Kai call out her name. She couldn’t answer him nor could she hold him as he slipped out of bed. She could only smile as she felt him cover her with the blankets. She wanted to call out to him, but figured that he might have needed to do some private business. So instead, she let herself drift away as she waited for him to come back to bed.

Then she heard the crash. Shooting up from the bed, she froze as she tried to figure out where the crash came from in the dark room. Hearing angry voices, she ran towards the door, her hand on the knob as she recognized the voice. It was Tala.

“What the fuck is a matter with you? She’s only a groupie- you know how they work! They can fuck you one night then they move on! It’s not like they’re loyal to your dick or anything!”

Hilary felt a wave of coldness go through her veins as she heard Tala shout at Kai.

“Any fuck bunny you meet up in these things aren’t worth the sign-up sheets! Stop trying to deck me! Kai! You know I’m right! That was the only lesson that Boris and Voltaire proved correct! Groupies all give it up the second they’re in your room!”

“No, I‘m not a groupie,” Hilary whispered as anger started to fill her. She threw the covers back and was about to give Tala a piece of her mind. “I’m not a fuck bunny!”

“Kai! You know that I’m right!” Tala shouted. “Any girl that wasn’t invited to your room is a groupie or fuck bunny and you know it!”

She sucked in her breath as she waited for Kai to say something. Anything. Then she heard him.

“Yeah, you’re right about groupies and fuck bunnies.”

And her heart broke and she couldn’t feel anything at all.

“No..no..no. This isn’t happening- it can’t be happening,” Hilary whispered as she shook her head. She tried to ignore the ache in her heart that was threatening her, bringing her to her knees. “Kai really can’t think that- he can’t! Kai wants a relationship with me- he doesn’t want me to forget him. That has to mean something. It has to! He knows that I’m not a groupie- I’m not a fuck bunny.”

‘But like Tala said, you weren’t invited into his room’ whispered a betraying thought. ‘So what are you going to do?’

“I don’t know what to do- I don’t know,” Hilary whispered to herself. “I just don’t know.”

She put her head on the door, grasping it as if it were the only thing that was real in the nightmare she was in. When she heard the door slam, panic started to fill her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“What an asshole,” Kai muttered as he stared hard at the door, his fists clenched. He knew what his grandfather taught, what Boris taught while they were in the Abbey. And they were right in that aspect: don’t trust any female that sneaks into your room.

To make sure that the boys, the army of Voltaire and Boris, were not tempted by the female flesh, Boris made sure that females were available to them at as soon as they showed a slight interest. The army was subjected to pornography of all types to help speed up the process. Then females of all ages were recruited and given to the boys as sex partners. Boris and his grandfather made sure the girls were loyal and well compensated for any useful information they might have about the blader army.

It was a three-fold test for the bladers they were training. The girls were available anytime to all bladers were interested in physical release. Any bladers that used the girls were carefully watched. Any blader was weeded out when the need to have sex was more important than winning. Any blader that showed trust or the softer emotions were also weeded out. Lessons were taught to the bladers who could not control their baser emotions. Punishments were given out to those who could not control their need for female companionship

It was a lesson and a punishment that Kai learned well. And when he escaped out of the Abbey, all that he knew of females, all that he was taught was simply reinforced by the actions of the girls who hounded him. It was a belief that he held up until he met Hilary. In many ways, she was his first. She showed him that not all females were sex hungry and conniving and that they could actually have a brain. She showed him that they could be honorable, dependable and brave. She showed him that it was all right to have fun and laugh at himself even when he felt like howling and raging at life in general. And she was the first to show him that it was all right to be weak among friends because it just meant that he wasn’t alone. The more he watched her, the more he was drawn to her until it was inevitable that he would fall in love with her.

No, Hilary wasn’t a groupie. It was more like he was her groupie. Who would have thunk it?

“Kai?”

He lifted his head to see Hilary step out from his bedroom, holding her blouse in her hands and wearing his shirt. In the light, she looked absolutely mussed and delicious. He felt his need for her rise as she stood there, not saying anything and looking at anything except him. “Hilary, what are you doing awake?”

“I’m borrowing you shirt. My blouse is too wrinkled. And I couldn’t find- anyway, I have your shirt.” Hilary combed her fingers through her hair. “I’m- I need to go back to my room.”

Kai scowled as he approached her. “No, you’re not. You’re staying here tonight.”

Shaking her head, Hilary evaded Kai as he neared her. She flung her hands out in an attempt to keep him away from her. ‘Don’t let him touch you- you can’t think if he touches you.’ “I really have to go, Kai.”

“You’re not going anywhere except back to bed. My bed,” Kai growled as he grabbed her arms and yanked her closer to him. “You’re staying with me.”

Hilary had to gasp at his steel in his eyes. “Kai-”

Suddenly the door burst open and Tala raced inside, his fists up. “Who the hell do you think you are? You can’t throw me out of here like I was garbage! Hilary? You’re the noisy fuck bunny?”

Frozen like a deer caught in headlights, Hilary stared at the angry red-head then felt herself being shoved back. She heard Kai snarl, “She’s not a fuck bunny! Now get the hell out of here before I beat the shit out of you!”

Rage filled Hilary as she heard Tala call her that. “I am not a fuck bunny.”

There was no time to do anything. Kai simply gaped as one second Tala was standing and the next he was on the ground with Hilary standing over him, in a towering rage. “Do you understand that, Tala? Or do I have to beat it into you?”

Pain radiated across his eye as he looked up at the Fury that was Hilary. He saw the flames of Hell in her eyes. He had no doubt that one wrong word and he’d be a dead man. “No- no. I never thought you that- Hilary. Really. I just- I just didn’t know who it was in Kai’s room and thought he was just fucking some girl he found in his bed-”

“Shut your mouth, Tala,” Kai roared as he lifted Tala and pushed him against the wall. He turned to look at Hilary who had a stricken look on her face. She quickly turned around.

Pain filled her again as Tala’s words struck home. She stared to walk quickly towards the door, before her anger left her, before her strength left her, before she would start to cry. “I’m going back to my room. If Tyson come, tell him I’m tired and I’ve gone up.”

“You’re not leaving, Hilary,” Kai shouted as he threw Tala to the ground and started to go after her. “Hilary!”

Kai caught her just as she reached the door. “Hilary!”

“Let me go!” Hilary shouted as she spun around. She couldn’t stop shaking. “Kai- please! Just let me go! I can’t talk- Please- I want to go! Before anyone else- I have to get out of here! Before anyone else comes!”

Kai stared at her, his emotions running wildly at the sight of her tears. Everything inside him screamed for him to not let her go. But she was crying. He didn’t know what to say- what to do- except let her go. He brought her trembling face to his and kissed her on the forehead. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

And let her go out the door.

“Oh, man, was Kenny right,” Tala groaned as he put himself in a sitting position and touched his face and ribs. He had no idea how it happened, but it did. Hilary managed to not only deck him, but also give him a couple of painful gut punches. He lifted his head at the slamming of the door. Opening his eyes, he looked up at Kai worriedly. “Are you going to kill me?”

“Not a word about Hilary, say anything and I’ll make sure you die a painful death,” Kai snarled as he bent down. “Understand?”

Tala swallowed his dry spit at the death sentence in Kai’s eyes. “Understood.” At Kai’s nod, he started to breath easier. Then thought about what happened after the press conference. “But if I were you, I’d put on some shirt before the others get here.”

Kai swung around to give him a death look. Tala rushed out the words as fast as he could. “Tyson will come after he’s done with Hiro’s punishments and Robert’s on his way up with the room service to make sure that Hilary has something to eat. And if they see you like this-”

With another death glare, Kai went to his room and slammed the door closed. After a few seconds, Tala let out a cautious sigh of relief. He had never felt so close to death before. “Tala, you must have been a cat in your other life.”

A sense of giddiness filled him as he grinned at the closed door as thoughts of the possibilities of what could happen went through his head. He started to laugh out loud. “Kai and Hilary, together. Who would have thought it? Man, hot times ahead- let it rip!”
