Chapter One
~Ray's POV~
Hey remember me? I'm Ray. Ray Kon at your service.
"AND THEN HE HAS THE NERVE TO TELL ME THAT HE'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE!"
Well I'm actually more sort of at Hilary's service at the moment. Using my expert listening skills while she rants on about Tyson…yet again.
So while she's going on about Tyson and I'm 'listening' I can tell you where we are.
It's been three months since Egan graced my body with his sprit and since then Hilary and Tyson have had more arguments than I've had…err…they've had a lot put it that way. What else has happened, oh! Max is ok, that bite mark on his neck is healing, you can still see it and the doctor says there'll most likely be a scar but it is healing. Tyson and Daichi have got used to the idea that I'm gay and no longer throw up whenever I enter the room which is good seeing as we all live in the same place.
It was about a month after the Egan incident as I call it when Max said he was going to sell his flat and move somewhere else. And that was when Tyson had the idea that they could live in the same place and seeing as I have no where to go I joined in. so me, Tyson, Daichi, Kenny, Butchie and Max all live in the same place and split the rent between us.
Our landlord is a tall gangly man who demands his rent a week before it's due and his fifteen year old daughter has the hots for me (trust me I am not bragging, it's really annoying).
What else has happened? Oh Tala and Bryan still aren't a couple though everyone is convinced that Bryan fancies Tala something crazy. But he seems to be content to be Tala's lapdog, yes I still loathe him and yes, he loathes me. Nothing has changed between us and nothing ever will so don't expect that half way through this story I suddenly realise I have an undying obsession for the bastard because I won't. Tala on the other hand has my sympathies, he took Egan's death hard and I don't think he's got over it yet, not that I can say I feel the same.
Tala and Bryan are living in a flat not far away, they decided that they were going to live in Japan for some strange unknown reason and they bought a nicer flat than ours which is much bigger and the landlord is nicer and has one well fit son who I have the hots for…he's just so cute!
"DO YOU KNOW HE ACTUALLY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT?"
And my explanations have been interrupted by Hilary's shrill (so shrill it has just destroyed both my ear drums) shriek, maybe it's time I said something to defend Tyson
"AND THEN HE HAS THE NERVE TO SAY TO MAX THAT I'M BEING RIDICULOUS AND MAX AGREES WITH HIM! I TELL YOU THE NEXT PERSON TO DEFEND TYSON I WILL SHRED TO PIECES"
On the other hand I may just take Hilary's side for my own safety.
Hilary shouts herself out (thank you God) and takes a deep breath to say
"Maybe I did overreact"
I don't get her, I really don't. One second she's saying that he was wrong to call her ridiculous next second she's agreeing with him. I just don't understand girls I really don't. Boys, they are simple you have a fight, you fall out, you spend ages slagging the guy off, you then realise how much the guy means to you and beg for their forgiveness. I can put it in stages, look:
Stage one: both boys love each other dearly
Stage two: boy A gets cross with boy B
Stage three: boy B gets angry with boy A
Stage four: both boys tear each other apart
Stage five: both boys walk away from each other, say they hate each other and will never see each other again
Stage six: they complain about the other one and hate the other for living and try to get revenge
Stage seven: they start hating each other more because they still love each other
Stage eight: boy B missies boy A
Stage nine: boy A misses boy B
Stage ten: they get back together ands start back at the top again.
See! Ten easy stages! None of this physiological mumbo jumbo. And that has led us back to where I live. Hilary still lives with her parents but she spends most practically all of her time here.
And who is the first to greet us? Butchie! Oh goody, goody (I think not). You don't know Butchie, let me fill you in. first off me and Butchie hate each other with passion, in fact the only one who likes Butchie is Tyson.
In my opinion Butchie is a brat who needs some serious training and his eyes remind seriously of Tala and Egan's eyes which freaks me out. I would say they were related but that is impossible. Anyway back to why I hate Butchie, he gets what he wants when he wants if he wants. He creates havoc around the flat and Tyson lets him get away with it Scott free. He eats anything and everything he can fit in his gob, he's territorial and when he's on the sofa no one else is allowed. He won't let you watch the program you want to watch without making a racket, he always wants you to play with him and basically he deserves to be skewered (violent aren't I).
"Butchie, go and play outside!" snaps Hilary
Hilary doesn't like Butchie either, she goes through to the kitchen and puts on the kettle, Butchie pesters which she tries to ignore but he squeaks and whines, I sit at the table and wait for Hilary to give into Butchie's pleas/demands.
"Fine!" there we go, Hilary turns round and grabs a box and pulls out a biscuit "have your dam dog biscuit then!"
Oh I haven't mentioned that have I, silly me. Butchie is a dog well a puppy, I think he's a Husky but I'm not big on the breeds of dogs so I could be wrong. Tyson's grandpa bought him for Tyson when Tyson moved out saying that Butchie would protect Tyson in his time of need. What he didn't say was that Butchie would be the biggest most bratish coward of the century, I'm not even kidding, the animal is scared of the kitten next door which is about as scary as Kenny.
Butchie comes up to me nips my ankle and growls at me, I ignore him, he should be used to me by now seeing as I was here before he was. Mind you I'm not keen on dogs so he probably senses it. Supposedly horses can sense when you're scared of them so maybe the same goes for dogs.
Butchie nips my ankle again
"Butchie, knock it off!" I pick the puppy up by the scruff of its neck, put my arm firmly around its waist and put it firmly outside closing the door on him. I know, I know you probably think I'm a monster who is cruel to animals, trust me when I say if I was cruel to animals Butchie wouldn't be alive. I actually like animals but I think that Butchie is an alien from out of space. Do you know he actually chewed Kenny's laptop, whoa! I have never seen Kenny so angry; his laptop now has a chewed corner.
"Hey Ray" I turn to see Tyson coming in the kitchen, he immediately notices Butchie outside.
"Aw! Poor Butchie! How did you get shut out there?" Butchie pulls his best puppy face which is quite easy for him. Let me tell you about Butchie's puppy faces. He has three.
One; his usual face which consists of big scary looking eyes, a big wet cold nose and a set of vicious little teeth. This is called the toothy grin (emphasis on toothy)
Two; his eyes turn into saucers and he closes his mouth to create his cute dog look which is used only for Tyson because Tyson's the only one who falls for it, the rest of us know never to judge a book by it's cover or a Butchie by his face. This one is called the puppy dog look
Three; this is the face that Butchie uses on the rest of us; because he knows that deep down we are not animal beaters. His ears go flat, his eyes go huge, he crouches down low on all four showing us that we are the boss and that he was wrong and we were right. And then he whines pathetically. This face is called the bag of bones way. So called because he is showing us that he is nothing but bones and fur while we are big strong humans who he worships.
Liar. He is nothing but a big liar.
"Did someone shut the door on you accidentally?" coos Tyson, no they didn't Tyson; it was deliberate. I did it to save my ankles. Tyson do not open that door! I forbid you! Tyson opens the door and lets Satan's spawn I mean dear little Butchie in. he makes a beeline for my ankles.
"Ow! Fuck off Butchie!" I glare at the animal; I swear he sniggers
"Aw Ray be kind!" Tyson sits down next to me and strokes Butchie who puts on his Puppy dog look while me and Hilary spit feathers behind Tyson's back. Butchie gives us the Toothy grin as Tyson turns to me still stroking that…that…that thing!
"Ain't he cute!"
Oh yes Tyson he's adorable, so cute, I really love his teeth which he sinks into my ankle and those claws on the end of his feet which sink into your skin. He's just the best! I love him so much. In fact I love the dog so much I could squeeze the life out of him in an embrace and keep squeezing,

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep please hang up, please hang up.
As you can see your call is very important to us…yeah right. Uh oh Tyson's got that 'I'm going to say something that's going to upset you but please don't hurt me' look. That must mean he's going to talk about…
"Ray, you know my party…"
"You mean the party that is for your birthday where you will become eighteen"
"Yes…"
"It isn't your birthday is it Tyson? You should have said something! Oh wait I think you did once, maybe twice, for the past four weeks"
Tyson scowled at me while I grinned "yes! Well it's kinda special to me, so I want, I want to invite all my friends around…"
I was right he is going to talk about…
"Including…Kai"
I fell silent, while Tyson is freaking out about whether he's upset me I will explain why this is a touchy subject. In three words:
We split up.
Well technically we haven't split up it's more sort of we had a fight about month ago and since then we've going through the stages, I don't know about Kai but I'm on stage six and in case you're wondering I'm boy B. I haven't seen him for at least three weeks since we were at a club where he was flirting with someone just to get me rattled – it worked. I now officially hate him. He's a bastard and a jerk and is now known as the Kick ass Kai. Mainly because he kicks everyone's ass and he's now made sure that I know that everyone fancies him. Of course we've fought before but that time we really took strips out of each other to the extent I hit him and you know me, I am not naturally violent (Butchie not included). Tyson and the others call it The Big Fight.
But recently I've been seeing myself as single so I don't think we'll finish the stages but…I'm ok with that, I don't want to be with him…ever again.
I should have known from the start that Kai wasn't a good choice for me; he always shoves people away from him and then wants them back and then gets angry with them. I don't even know where I stand with him, we had the fight and then he just acted like he didn't care, gave me the cold shoulder and it hurt so I decided to do the same back. I got in touch with my Ex, Paul do you remember him? No? Well I don't blame you, I only mentioned him once because Kai looked like he was going to commit murder back in the days when he cared. Well anyway I got in touch with Paul, he lives not far and he works in a café that just opened so I spend most of my time there (when I'm not dealing with things back here). We're not together but we're good friends now. When I got in touch with him I made sure Kai knew I had and do know what his reaction was?
"Hmph"
That was it. No kidding! That was it. But I don't care anymore, I have moved on, I no longer see Kai as…anything, not friend, lover or enemy. He is…Kai. I think I'd better answer Tyson before he wets himself.
"Tyson, if you want to invite Kai then you can, I have no problem with it. In fact why don't you invite him to stay here? Invite Tala and Bryan while you at it, they can stay in my room and I'll move into Max's."
Tyson grins "are you sure?"
Only if you let me cook that dog for dinner and let me put poison on it the day Kai comes, I smile "of course" (I really do like animals). Satisfied that he is not going to upset me Tyson runs off like a little boy that's- wait a minute he's run off leaving me and Hilary (whom he ignored) with a toothy grin, a flash of teeth and
"BUTCHIE! STOP BITING MY ANKLE" I roar at him, he promptly (being the big boy that he is) took the Bag Of Bones expression and in five seconds flat I was tickling his tummy and telling him I was sorry. I. Hate. That. Dog was written all over Hilary's face as she snorted and left the room with her head held high…
Two minutes and then he arrives. Get a hold of yourself Ray Kon. It's fine, it's ok, and I'm going to be fine. It's ok. Oh hello this is me telling me that I'm going to be fine when Tala, Bryan and…Kai arrive, next week is Tyson's birthday and it's been two weeks since I suggested to Tyson that he invited Tala and Bryan as well as Kai.
Since then Tyson has being trying to persuade Kai to actually come, when I told Tyson he could invite Kai I didn't actually say that either I was going to make it easy for Kai or that Kai was going to come in the first place. It took Tyson two weeks but he finally got Kai to come, he's quite proud of himself…he really, really needs to get a hobby.
As I hear the front door bell I stand, a pain burns my entire torso, hissing I go to the door. Remember when Egan stabbed me, the wound has healed badly, it still hurts…a lot. I hate Egan. I hate a lot at the moment, I hate Kai, oh no I don't do I, he means nothing to me. So I hate Butchie, I hate Egan and I hate Bryan. All bastards and incidentally have all made me feel pain. Butchie on a daily basis, Egan just once but it hurts on a secondly basis and Bryan once how ever many years ago it was. BUT I do have a scar, yep! A scar! It's on my arm, it's not much but it is a scar.
I come to the door still breathing hard with the pain; it'll go off any second now
"Hey Ray" Max comes up behind me putting a hand on my shoulder looking at me with concern "want me to open the door?" he suggested hopefully, he wants to open the door so I don't do anything to Kai on sight but it's important I open the door so Kai realises I don't care. I shake my head, pull myself together and I…am…good! I pull the door open to reveal three people who have little patience.
No not the three musketeers, they have patience…I think, I don't know, I've never met them.
Kai, Tala and Bryan are standing on the doorstep.
Bryan, same cold hearted bastard. Tala, his red hair no longer in that hair style he's so famous for. It has no product on it which means it's actually floppy and looks quite nice…and Kai, hhheeeeeeey! No blue triangles on the face! We are feeling brave, what would Granddaddy think if he saw that! Tut, tut! Why don't you dare yourself and put a smiley face on there instead – sorry, am I sounding bitter? I 'm not supposed to care about that self important, arrogant, overbearing, haughty son of bitch who think he's on top of the world and that a mere best beyblader in China who was the one who suffered loosing his body to Egan is of no consequence to him.
"Hello" I say, wow my voice has no emotion to it, this is easier than I thought, and maybe I could say something to Kai that tells him that I really, really, really don't care about him. What should I say? Hey punk! No that's…just wrong. Unfortunately I can't say anything because Max has foreseen a situation and leapt in to avoid it.
"Kai! Tala! Bryan!" do you have to sound so excited to see Bryan? Or Kai for that matter. And then because Butchie wouldn't be Butchie without making himself known comes running out of the house with Tyson in his wake and carrying his favourite toy. Just so you know I hate Butchie but the thing I hate more than Butchie is Butchie's favourite toy.
It's a squeaky slipper and Butchie has been known to play with his squeaky slipper at four a clock in the morning in MY room, on MY bed and drooling on MY pillow.
The three Russians watch calmly as Butchie, Butchie's favourite toy the squeaky slipper and Tyson go headlong into the road in front of a van which brakes, curses and drives on still cursing. Some people are so kind.
"TYSON!"
Max runs out past our guests forgetting that I might murder Kai on the door step and out to Tyson who has landed in a heap with the squeaky slipper while Butchie has come running back and proceeded to yap at Bryan. I do believe that dog might grow on me, just as long as he and his squeaky slipper annoy Bryan and not me.
Tala turns to me "how are you Ray?"
"I'm fine, you?"
"I'm alright"
These few simple words show that Tala knows that I am the one who did get rid of his little brother but he does not feel anger – wait a minute! No anger! No revenge! No pain! No hatred towards me! I feel cheated! And I was so up for a fight…sigh…fine, I guess me and Tala are friends…or as close to friends as I can be with someone who is so closely connected to the Falcon of evil whom I despise.
I let them in; as Kai passes I can't help but check him out, whine, why did I have to fall for someone who is so hot! Next time I'm falling for some really ugly fucker so when we split I don't go ooh he's sssssoooooooo hot! Although I think he glanced at me, he actually graced his eyesight with little ol me for a whole whopping three seconds! … Ah I need to get out more.
In fact I will, I'll go see my good friend/Ex Paul, as I leave through the door grabbing my coat I hear Hilary call "Ray, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see my friend forward slash Ex, Paul!" I call back and did Kai hear that? Oh yes he did! Tee Hee!
~Max's POV~
I pick Tyson up off the road and grin at him "nice one Tyson!"
"Sure thing! Did it work?"
"Sure Ray and Kai barely looked at each other!"
"Awesome, just as long as we can keep this up there will be no blood split!"
"Ray mentioned his Ex though, Kai will have heard that"
Tyson picked up the squeaky slipper "doesn't matter, just as long as we keep those two separate my birthday should go swimmingly!"
Ha! Tyson, that is not going to happen, even if we do keep Kai and Ray separate there's always you and Hilary. Hey folks! I'm the man! I am the Max-mister! Max stud! The one the only- I have no idea what I'm saying so let's pretend I didn't do that. So yes you walked in on our little escapade of making sure that Kai and Ray don't murder each other, and we did it by letting Butchie run which let's face it isn't hard but the main point is Kai and Ray are both still alive with the correct number of limbs.
Me, Tyson and Butchie's squeaky slipper all go into the kitchen where everyone has congregated all smiling well not quite, the rest of us are but not our guests aren't, not good is it? If I didn't know our guests didn't smile I would be worried. Kai's not got those triangles on his face, he looks less scarier without them, something which I am sure Tyson will pick up and he will most try and push his luck – no what am I saying Tyson is going to be eighteen next week, he is grown up and mature … … … … do you know? I can lie to myself so easily.
Ah the smells of cooking hit the stomach like a catapult, I beginning to sound like Tyson, not good! Although to give me credit it is seven in the evening and we've all gone to some sort of fancy restaurant, Hilary's idea to eat out, and Kai's idea to pay hence the poshness.
I have ordered some wine and salmon for starter, vegetable soup, and lamb for the main, chocolate gateau for pudding and then rounded off by coffee (yay! Yes I'm still the addict) and biscuits and cheese
Needless to say Tyson ordered two glasses of wine and water and three starters, four types of soup, two mains, five pudding, and two helpings of biscuits and tea. The waiter was on his knees by the time Tyson had finished.
Ray ordered the most expensive drink, the most expensive starter, the most expensive soup, the most expensive main, the most expensive pudding and the most expensive afters. Yes he is being childish and yes it's going to be a long week.
Kai for his part made no reaction which is both good and bad. Good because there wasn't a scene and bad because Ray is just going keep acting like this until someone kills him (not necessarily Kai.)
We all start talking or rather Tyson and Daichi start talking, Hilary and Tyson start bickering; me and Kenny try to calm them, Tala and Bryan converse in Russian. In fact everybody is making some sort of sound except Kai and Ray.
They just sit there eating; you can sense the tension. I am not kidding it feels like a knife could cut through the tension. Taking a glance at Ray who is sitting beside me I see a look in his eyes, not anger, not hurt, not any of those things. What I see in his eyes is…desire. Eh? I thought those two had split or something. But his eyes are sparkling with desire, ok slightly worrying, he glances up at Kai and then down at his plate. Curiously I glance at Kai. He's eating and then his eyes flitter up at Ray while Ray is looking at his plate. Those eyes of Kai's are also filled with something…a kinda fiery aspiration that could make a person very scared if assumed look was aimed at them. Either Ray isn't scared by him or he doesn't see it because he carries on eating, Kai looks like he's about to explode. Do these two find other eating evocative or something? Eww!
I'm so enthralled in watching these totally miss each other's glances that it takes Tyson five minutes to bring me back to earth.
"Sorry Tyson"
"You seemed in your own world"
Err Kai and Ray's world actually; I've decided to make a project out of it. So operation get Ray and Kai back together shall commence. Starting from…n…no…now!
So to begin! … I haven't thought this through. Ok look at the situation: Ray obviously still fancies Kai and Kai obviously still is of the opinion that Ray is his and so fancies him back. They keep on looking at each other at intervals but keep missing each other plus the fact that they're probably still angry at one another. Hmm so what I need to do is make it so they look at each other at the same time. So time how long the intervals are…excusing me one moment.
…
…
Ok so Kai waits forty-five seconds before looking up again and Ray waits thirty two seconds, so that is a difference of…err…err…13! 13 seconds oo unlucky number. So what I need to do is keep Ray from looking at Kai for 13 seconds more and then they see each other. Ha! This is so easy!
"So Ray" 3 seconds
Ray looks at me, 2 seconds
"Err" 4 seconds to come up with something
"Never mind" 3 seconds plus 1 second for Ray to give me a strange look and look away.
"Kaiiiiiiiiii!" Tyson you have totally ruined my plan, and Ray looks up as Kai looks at Tyson. Sigh ok so maybe not as easy as I first thought.
"So Kai what have you been doing recently? We haven't seen you round for ages!" Duh! Obvious reasons! AKA best Chinese beyblader in the world. You really would think that Tyson would have grown a brain by the time was eighteen wouldn't you. It all hangs in the next thing Tyson says.
"I've been living with my grandfather" replied Kai. Ok folks what Tyson says next governs the way I look at Tyson for the rest of his life. So! Does Tyson Have A Brain?
"Does he still want you to control Black Dranzer?"
Ok you do not mention Black Dranzer EVER. So the answer to my question, Does Tyson Have A Brain? The answer is…No. This last comment from Tyson creates silence as we all look at Tyson and think 'you prat!' even Ray who is out to get Kai angry hasn't mentioned Black Dranzer, even Bryan who spends most of his time making other people angry hasn't mentioned Black Dranzer, even Kenny who is dying to know the history behind Black Dranzer hasn't mentioned it. But Tyson, good old Tyson, no one else like him.
"What's Black Dranzer?" asks Daichi
I take that back, there is someone like Tyson and now we shall sit back and watch as Tyson and Daichi dig themselves into a bigger hole because if Tyson explains about Black Dranzer in front of Kai then it's his own fault.
"Black Dranzer is a bit beast that belongs to the Hiwatari family, few years ago Kai's grandfather gave it to Kai to use against people so he could become the most powerful beyblader in the world. At first Kai accepted Black Dranzer, he cast aside his friends and his own beyblade Dranzer. He then took all of the All Starz's Bitbeasts and three of the White Tiger Bitbeasts. He then tried to beat his own team the Bladebreakers so he could say he was the best, he beat Ray and Kenny until there was just me but then Max turned up when I was about to be beaten and launched his beyblade at Kai, then we launched Kai's old blade Dranzer on him and Dranzer beat Black Dranzer. Kai then nearly drowned and we saved his life"
Silence.
This is the part where me, Ray and Kenny all step in to save Tyson's life.
"I need to go to the bathroom" muttered Ray
"Yeah me too" I also got up hurriedly
"Wait for me!" squeaked Kenny.
I would like to point out that by doing this which seems an act of cowardice it is actually a clever plan. By getting Kai to hurt Tyson now Tyson will learn never to mention Black Dranzer ever again. So if you think about it we are saving Tyson's life…just in the future.
"What was Tyson thinking!" Kenny shuddered once we reach safety err the bathroom "has he gone totally mad?"
Ray goes over to the large mirror and starts checking his image, for someone as nice as Ray you wouldn't think he was so vain. I go over to him
"You look lovely darling"
"Point heard and taken Maxie"
I smirk and punch Ray gently on the arm "we were thinking of going to the cinema on Saturday, you wanna come?"
"Sure, what we seeing?"
"We thought we'd let Tyson choose"
"As long as it's not Little Mermaid the umpteenth adventure I don't care"
"You have a thing against Little Mermaid?"
"If you spent 3 hours with Hilary's little sister watching all the movies she wanted then so would you"
I laughed, we all love Hilary's little sister, she's so cute but it does mean we let her get away with blue murder. Her name's Lily and she's just turned eight a few months back, and sometimes when Hilary is at university or away we baby-sit Lily because Hilary's parents are very busy people, they both work somewhere that is very important but I don't know what because I think I lost consciousness halfway through Hilary's explanation. Tyson got a nose bleed because of it, Daichi, Kenny and Ray looked like they were all going to cry so naturally by the end of the explanation Hilary had noticed our less than attentiveness and had then gone on for another three hours complaining about how we never listened to her. By then I had come round and then fallen off my chair and hit my head on the floor, Kenny had broken down, Daichi had run off screaming, Tyson had filled the room with blood and fainted from lack of blood and Ray had gone off for some food, had a fight with Kai, made up again, fought again and then come back for another half hour of torture.
"Do you think Kai's finished killing Tyson yet?" asked Kenny
"Doubtful" said Ray his voice blank like it always is when the topic of conversation includes Kai. We wait; we can't hear anything in here which I can't decide whether is a good thing or a bad thing mind you it's probably a good thing because sound effect when you don't know what's going on is worse than anything.
"Where are we going after this?" asked Ray probably more to break the silence
"A club I think"
Kenny whines; Ray and me smirk. Kenny doesn't like getting drunk because he goes hyper and says silly things.
"You don't have to get drunk" I say "it's not compulsory, in fact the law prefers it if you don't get drunk"
Kenny moans again
"Just don't let Tyson talk you into more than you want" said Ray "you know how pushy he can become when drunk"
Kenny sighed resignedly, I smiled at him "you don't have to come if you really don't want to, I imagine all we'll do is break up fights between Hilary and Tyson" and maybe Kai and Ray I silently added in my mind, I think Kenny also caught on to what I thought because he said
"That would just be too cruel of me Max"
We both stole a look at Ray who was staring into space with a look of acquiescent anger on his face. We both looked at each other both wondering what seeing Kai again was doing to Ray. We all looked up as the bathroom door opens as Tyson comes in or rather staggers in with food all over him. He looks at us
"Thanks for your help"
"No problem!" I beam "just think of it as us saving your life in the future"
Tyson snorts and picks a piece of Haddock off his shoulder, I'm sorry but it is funny! Tyson glares at us as our eyes fill up with tears of laughter.
"Hey! Knock it off!"
"I'm sorry, but it is kinda self inflicted" chokes Kenny behind his laughter. I can't hold it back any longer, Tyson's glare becomes more profound as I howl and guffaw but it just doesn't work especially with cheese sauce running down his face. Tyson glares as three of his closest friends laugh and laugh at his misfortune.
"Where's Daichi?" I gasp
"Outside sitting at the table in shock"
I snort with laughter again
"It's not funny!"
I beg to differ Tyson "you'd better go home and clean up before we go out" I wipe my eyes "we don't want the fan girls calling you Food-Man!"
Tyson glares again as we all laugh again "we could make a theme tune" says Kenny
"Food-Man! Food-Man! Da, dada, da!" I think I'm on to something, maybe it's gonna be a number one, I'll think on it and get back to you. Mean time we all go back to the table let me change my words. We all go back to the remains of the table. This is what we see, the table broken in half, the plates are all smashed, food is everywhere, there's even some outside. The window has a large crack down it; the other customers that were sitting at the tables nearest to ours have all retreated to the other side of the restaurant. And sitting in the middle of this mêlée is Daichi sitting very straight in his chair, eyes wide covered head to foot with bits of food. I poke him on the shoulder experimentally.
"Daichi?"
He looks at me very slowly "the devil is back!" he states.
So what do you think? do tell!
until next time people!
