It's a Date

Chapter 1

Hilary fidgeted in her seat as her gaze slowly worked its way up to stare at the Russian teen in front of her. He had his eyes closed, ignoring her like he usually did. It's so quiet… She sighed inwardly. How did she end up here again?

Oh yes it was because of that dare. The dare that that guy gave them, rather, the dare that guy gave the boy in front of her.

Only one name registered in her mind.

Tyson.

Hilary sighed and continued to stare at the two-toned blader in front of her. Kai Hiwatari, team captain of the bladebreakers, stoic, cold, and uncaring. Ok so he wasn't really that uncaring. Or cold, or stoic. He was just… really really quiet. And silence had always bothered Hilary. She was used to being around noisy people (Tyson, Daichi, etc.). And sometimes silence made her feel awkward. Really really awkward. Wasn't he going to say anything? Her gaze shifted to the happy couple to his right who were in the middle of a very heated make-out session. Hilary felt heat rise up to her cheeks as she looked away immediately.

Why oh why did I have to accept this date? Hilary found herself whining suddenly. I could've refused, but no my stupid mouth had to go ahead and say yes… but there was no avoiding it anyway… If I hadn't agreed Tyson would've revealed my most guarded secret to the whole world… Hilary sighed. But then this wouldn't have happened if Tyson hadn't suggested we played Truth or Dare…

It was raining that night, so they didn't get the chance to do their training. Everybody was pretty much bored to death so Max suggested we think of a game to play. After a few minutes of thinking, Tyson was up on his couch saying we should play truth or dare. The others hesitated at first but they agreed anyway. They couldn't think of a better game. And so the game started. It wasn't all that bad really; it was pretty fun to be honest. I got to see Max try and juggle eggs, he failed miserably though and spent the duration of the game washing the yolk off his hair. And then Rei was dared to sing, no he didn't stink, 'because he didn't really sing either; he just kind off read the lyrics. So yeah everything was really pretty honky dory. That is until the bottle stopped in front of their team captain, who immediately murmured a gruff, 'dare,' Tyson's smile grew wider and uttered the words to Kai's dare.

"Kai! I dare you… to take Hilary on a date!"

My eyes grew wide just as Kai almost fell out of his position by the wall. What the heck?

"And we double dare you too," Came Max's voice.

"Yeah, yeah," The others quickly agreed.

Kai glared at them.

I wouldn't forget that night. Even Rei, Max and the others betrayed me.

Hilary grimaced as she remembered the events that transpired that night. Tyson made her say yes; by telling her that he would reveal her biggest and most guarded secret if she refused. No way she would let the world would know that she accidentally fell prey to a trap (1) back in first grade when they had their nature outing. Half of the male population of her class got to see her undies then. She shuddered at the memory. She would be the laughing stock of the world if she didn't agree to Tyson's will. And so she had no other choice but to agree.

So that was how they, Hilary and Kai, two people who weren't usually within six-inches of each others perimeter, ended up on this date.

"Your food is ready, Mr. and Ms.," The waiter's voice sounded, abruptly waking Hilary up from her thoughts.

Her eyes widened at the banquet in front of her. Did they have enough money to pay for all of this? Oh right. She remembered, Tyson and the other's had taken the liberty of pre-ordering their food for them, so they had nothing to worry about.

They ate in silence. The only noises were the cluttering of their utensils from time to time.

Hilary looked up from her food and peeked at the couple beside Kai again, who were now talking animatedly. Her gaze then went back to the slate, blue-haired bishie in front of her who had just finished eating. He had his eyes closed, silent as usual. She blushed.

"So…" Hilary began, trying to start a conversation. Or maybe just to make the quiet teen pay attention to her. And dang was it hard to get his attention.

Hearing no reply. She tried again. "S-so how do you find the food?"

This time it worked and Kai opened his eyes. He stared at her for a good ten minutes before he shrugged and answered, "Hn,"

Hilary blinked. Hn? What kind of answer was that? She sighed inwardly, well at least he spoke…"Umm… okay…"

Kai opened one eye to study the fidgeting girl in front of him. What was she so nervous for? It was only him. It was so silent. Even he couldn't take the silence. It was so unnerving. What was the point of this date anyway? They've been doing nothing but stare at each other for a good ten to fifthteen minutes now. No one bothered to say a word. He couldn't possibly be the one to start the conversation. It would be, so not like him.

If it wasn't for that stupid Kinomiya he wouldn't be here. No no, scratch that, neither of them would be here. This was torture. No, not because of the company, Kai had a lot of respect for their coach, but this was just too uncomfortable. It was no secret to him that Hilary was kind of infatuated with him; he had caught her staring a few times. Sure Hilary was a nice girl. But Kai, he found it hard to be nice to girls. Actually he found it pretty hard to be nice to anybody. Sure he had helped her out a few times, but it was his duty to, he considered her his friend.

"So…"

To engrossed in his thoughts, Hilary's attempt to start a conversation went unheard. Hearing no reply from her date, she tried again.

"S-so… how do you find the food?"

Kai started from his thoughts, glancing briefly at the blushing girl in front of him. So she finally found her voice eh? He regarded the girl for a while before answering with a flat, "Hn,"

See? It was too hard to act nice. Especially when you happened to be Kai Hiwatari, also known as the ice block of their team the Bladebreakers.

Hilary gave out a heavy sigh. This is going to be a long night…

A/N: Chapter one is done! Really sorry if it's short! Hehe I'll try to make the later chapters longer… hehe. Okay then! Next chapter is when Hilary finally pops from the pressure, and Kai gets a preaching, from the waiter! Wahaha… ok then… please tell me if it's alright, I kinda doubt my ability to make KaiHil fanfics these days... Hehe… Please review and tell me what you think:D
