Energetic Relationships
Chapter One

"Hey, Kai, what's going on with you lately?" Ray asks as he sits at the table.

"What do you mean?" I ask, looking up at him.

"You've totally changed since the last time I was here," the cat-like beyblader elaborates.

"How so?" I ask.

"Well, for one, you're definitely more talkative than usual," Max points out.

"And less grouchy," Daichi points out.

"And the other day I could have sworn I saw you playing tag with Tyson," Hilary points out.

"He was what?!" the others sitting at the table explode, completely shocked.

"Come to think of it, you and Tyson have been spending a lot more time together," Kenny points out.

"What exactly have you two been doing together?" Hilary asks.

"Hey, Kai! Let's get going!" Tyson's voice calls from the door. "We're going to be late!"

Thank God! I think as I get up from the table and head after the blue haired beyblader. Salvation.

"Hey, get back here! We want answers!" Daichi demands as I run for the door.

I meet up with Tyson and we head off before the others can stop us. Once we've reached the river we stop and sit to talk.

"Man, haven't these five months alone together been a blast, Kai?" Tyson asks, looking at me with a grin on his face.

"Yeah," I agree, returning his smile. I can't believe five months have past since the others were with us. It seemed like such a shorter time.

"Man, I sure am glad to see the others again, however, it's really cutting back on the time you and I have to spend together," Tyson continues. "I kind of miss it being just the two of us."

"Me too," I agree as he lies back in my lap and I hold him.

"Hey, I've got an idea, let's run away," Tyson suggests as he sits up.

"What?" I ask, slightly alarmed.

"Come on, let's get out of here. Let's go somewhere the others can't find us. That way we'll always be together," he begs as he looks at me with his big eyes.

I just can't say no to him, especially when he gives me that look.

"All right, let's do it, we'll sneak off tonight," I tell him.

"Good, make sure to grab everything that way we don't have to come back," he smiles.

"Of course, I don't ever want our time together to end," I agree as I pull him close and hold him in my arms, feeling his heart beating with mine.
