Okay guys this is my first fic so I hope that you enjoy it. The ratings may change as the story goes on. As I said in the summary this may end up as a KaiXHil but I am still really unsure but if you really want it to turn out that way then r&r and tell me.
Warnings: some mild swearing but nothing too over the top.

Kai walked into the livingroom of the dojo and rolled his eyes at the sight in front of him. Tyson sprawled out on the floor with his face buried into a cushion from the couch, not paying attention to the tv that was on in front of him.
"Tyson, what are you doing?" Ray asked appearing behind Kai from the kitchen, drying a dish that he had just washed from this mornings breakfast.
"I'm so bored. There is nothing to do around here." Tyson complained in a highly fed up tone still lying on the floor but had now brought his face up from the cushion.
"Yeah, it has been getting kind of dull around here lately." Max pitched in staring blankfaced at the television, watching the same cartoon for the third time now.
"That's probably because there have been no tournaments lately and there has been no word of any having been set, so there is no need to be training everyday" replied Kenny, not looking up from his laptop, rapidly typing away.
"We could go to the park" Ray suggested half heartedly.
"But we did that yesterday" Tyson moaned.
"And the day before that" Max added.
"And two days before that" Kenny pitched in, still not diverting his attention from his laptop.
"Then what do you suggest?" Ray asked, sighing slightly fed up.
Just at that moment Hilary walked through the door, her full attention focused on what looked like a newspaper. She walked through the livingroom, straight past the boys, past Kai and Ray and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a mug from the cupboard, without so much as a word to any of them. The boys looked at eachother, furrowed their eyebrows and exchanged puzzled looks between eachother, then turned their attention back to Hilary.
"Hello to you too!" Tyson shouted sarcastically to the girl who was making herself a cup of coffee, pouring water and milk into the mug, slowly stirring the contents, while not once looking up from the newspaper. She then put the teaspoon into the sink and carried the newspaper and freshly brewed mug of coffee into the living room, all the while still not diverting her attention away from the paper and made herself comfy on the sofa at the other end of the room.
"Hilary, watcha looking at?" Ray asked her. She didn't respond, just kept her attention fully on the paper.
"Hils?"
"Hilary?" Ray was starting to get annoyed at the fact that she wouldn't answer him.
"Here hold this." Handing the now dry dish to Kai, Ray walked over to Hilary. Once infront of her he put the towel over his shoulder and crouched down.
"Hilary!" Ray raised his voice slightly and clicked his fingers infront of her face to attract her attention startling her slightly.
"Ray you startled me," the brunette answered, "What is it?"
"I shouted on you four times before you answered me, is there something wrong?" Ray asked sounding alittle concerned.
"No. Nothing's wrong." Hilary replied. Ray didn't look very convinced giving her the "yeah right" look.
"It's just that sometimes if I am enjoying what I am reading or I'm very interested I what I am reading I tend to blank everything else out and focus on what I am reading and it can be kinda hard to get my attention."
"So we noticed" Kai picked teasingly.
"Oh shush you" the playful tone evident in her voice, he just sniggered in response but kept her gaze.
"You guys, I'm still bored!" Tyson wined, interupting their conversation and breaking their eye contact, much to their dislike.
"Well then what do you suggest then genious because so far you have contributed nothing to resolve this problem and it was yours to start off with!" Kai snapped, his voice raised slightly. His sudden change in mood catching everyone off guard, but Tyson oblivious to Kai's raise in temper pressed on, raising his voice alittle as well.
"Well I don't see you making any contribution either".
"It's not my problem is it!" Kai retorted now raising his voice slightly again, getting alittle frustrated, his hand tightening around the dish that Ray had handed him.The others watched the arguement unfold from a safe distance.
"Are you trying to tell me that your not bored being stuck in here all day with nothing to do!"
"I'm not saying that but I'm not the one groping and making a fuss about it, all the while making it more difficult for everyone else to bare because they have to sit and listen to your groveling voice all day!"
" But what the hell am I supposed to do huh? There is absolutely nothing to do around here and I need some thing to keep me occupied!"
"Then get a dog or something, just shut up!" Kai shouted, now at the end of his tether rubbing his temple with his index and middle finger, now looking very frustrated with the migrane that had now started to form. Tyson paused for a moment intaking what Kai had just said. The others were surprised at Kai's suggestion as it was totally out of character. Tyson pondered over it for a second or two, his demeanor then seemed to brighten, a grin then formed across his face. Everyone else turned their attention towards the younger boy and watched his expression change, wondering what his 'witty' comeback would be and just hoped that it wouldn't piss Kai off any more.
"You know Kai, that's not a bad idea"
"What?" A tone of disbelief in his voice, looking slightly surprised as it wasn't meant to be a serious suggestion, just a quick comment that would hopefully distract Tyson long enough to stop the arguement.
"Yeah! I mean I always wanted a pet." The boy seemed to be getting more excited by the minute, his grin spreading even further across his face.
"That sounds cool! I'm in!" Bouncing up from his place on the couch, Max joined in on the conversation.
"Sounds good." Ray added calmly, leaving his place beside Hilary, he walked over to Kai and took back the dish that he had previously asked him to hold and walked into the kitchen to put it away.
"But wait a miniute!" Kenny panicked "What about the the cost and time that needs to be put into having a dog. You need to buy everything a dog needs like food, dog bowls, a bed, a collar, a lead, toys and much more, plus there is the added cost of vets bills, which by the way can be huge, like hundreds of pounds huge, you need insurance and you need to train the dog and walk it in all kinds of weather..."
"Kenny stop!" Tyson interupted, using his hands to gesture to Kenny to calm down, "We can all pitch in to look after the dog, it's not like there will only one of us to look after it, we can all take turns to walk the dog and feed it and look after it..."
"And we can all contribute money as well," the blonde added in reassurance. "There are six of us, it's not going to be that hard."
"Then it's settled" Punching his hand into the air to show his excitement and enthusiasm, Tyson seemed pleased with the decision that was made.
"Hold it " Ray intervened, emerging from the kitchen with a seriousness of demeanor. "We still need to hear our team captain's verdict"
"But it was Kai's idea in the first place"
"Yeah come on Kai" Hilary pleaded "I was never allowed a pet when lived with my parents and I've always wanted one. Pleeeeaaase Kai." she stared at him longingly as she desperately wanted him to consent. All eyes were now on Kai, all begging him to allow the team to get a dog. Kai stood there wondering if this was such a good idea, giving the team such a responsibility, but they all seemed to really want this, heck even he himself liked the idea of having a dog, otherwise he wouldn't have suggested it, even if it wasn't meant to be a serious suggestion. A sigh escaped his lips as he gave in to everyone's pleading.
"Fine then" was all he muttered before he got interupted.
"Yes. This is gonna be sweet!" Tyson turned to face Max to share his enjoyment with his best friend.
"Yeah this is gonna be so totally cool!" Agreeing, he grabbed Tyson's hands and they danced in around in a circle causing Kenny, Ray and Hilary to laugh at the pair. The two other boys soon joined in the excitement although not as promenantly as the others and Hilary watched from the couch. She was excited too but judging by the look on Kai's face there was more to come.
"BUT" The previously mentioned boy said loud enough to get their undivided attention. They all stopped celebrating and turned their attention to their captain. "Only if everyone agrees to pitch in because it will be everyone's responsibility" Kai stated, bringing authority into his voice. A mixture of "okay"s, "Sure"s and "right"s were heard before everyone went back into celeration mode. Hilary ran up to Kai and hugged him, he hugged her back. She patted him lightly on his back and he tightened his grip on her for a few seconds before releasing her. She pulled away from him and said "Thanks Kai". He smiled in response and with that she turned and ran to join her fellow teammates in celebration. Kai watched his teammates from his place against the doorframe of the kitchen door, his smile never leaving his lips.
"I'm going to make a list of everything that we will need" Picking up his laptop, Kenny ran to his desk and switched on his laptop.
"That's a good idea Chief, that way we are less likely to forget something important that we'll need." Standing behind Kenny, Tyson leaned in looking over Kenny's shoulder so that he could see what he was putting on the list. He was soon joined by the rest of the team excluding Kai who had moved to lean on the wall behind them. They all contributed by giving their ideas to Kenny, who added them on to the list. It took them the rest of the morning to complete the list and make sure that they hadn't forgotten anything.
The rest of the day was spent buying almost everything on the list and fighting over what colour and size to get of what was needed , what the dog was going to be called and what gender the dog was going to be and so on. It was later that day decided that the colour of the items on the list would be picked to suit either gender, the size of everything except the collar and lead would be big enough to fit a medium sized dog as they weren't going to be allowed anything bigger than that and they would get the collar and lead after they got the dog because usually if you go to a shelter, you get given a temporary lead and collar for the dog anyways. That way they could get a collar and lead to suit the dog that they picked. It was also decided that day that the gender of the didn't really matter and that they could keep a few names in reserve but nothing was being decided on yet because in Kai and Ray's opinion(although more so Kai's), it was ridiculous to decide on a name for the dog when they had never set eyes on it before and didn't know what it was like what so ever.
After dinner the team started to lay out all of the dog's things so that they could decide where everything was going to be put. The dog's food and water bowls were put in the kitchen, the bowls were tan, ceramic bowls with blue on the inside with the words "food" and "water" engraved around the outside of them. The team had also set out a small cupboard in the kitchen for all of the dog's food and treats to go into. The dog's bed was put in the kitchen, it sat diagonally across one of the corners of the wall. It was a mediun sized, plush, rectangular shaped drop front bed, fawn suede on the outside with white sheepskin on the inside. All of the dogs toys were held in a clear, rectangular toy bin which was kept in one of the cupboards downstairs. The tools needed to groom the dog would be bought at a later date as the type of brushes needed would depend entirely on the dog's coat type.
They all retired to their own rooms early that night, excited as to what tomorrow would bring as they had come to the conclusion over dinner that they would go to the local shelter tomorrow to see if they could find a dog that they liked. Kai, as usual, was the last one down. He had been staring out of his window for the last ten minutes deep in thought as to what having a dog would be like. Still pondering over his thoughts, he got changed into his pyjamas, brushed his teeth and climbed into bed. Pulling the covers over himself he lay on his back for a few minutes, his hands behind his head, thinking a little more. He then came to the conclusion that having a dog would be a great adventure and it would be one that he was looking forward to. Happy with his decision he eventually rolled over onto is side and drifted off to sleep.
Well that's my first chapter guys. Please r&r and tell me what you think of it. Like I said before if you guys want this to end up as a KaiXHil then tell me. See you all next time. XXMikaXX
