When One Gets Answered, Another One Arises

RAY'S POV

We had gotten the apartment cleaned up and packed just in time. We had taken a BBA limo to the airport, which is where our story continues..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hadn't spoken to Kai for a few hours, since we had been so busy packing and everything. We were standing in Duty-free, looking around at everything. Our flight was in half in hour, so we had a bit of time to look around. Kai and I had been glancing at each other every few minutes, smirking and smiling at each other, especially after I had made the first move, by holding his hand briefly when Tyson and Max had run off with Kenny to look at a plane take off.

To be completely honost with you, because I'm trying to be honost with myself here, I am not completelty sure that I want to be Kai's.. ahh... boyfriend. You and I both know that just a few days ago, we were physically fighting and I hated him. Now, we're this? I know he thinks it's just because of me being depressed, so I've been moody, but I'm not too sure. We have been best mates before, but how does it work that we are mates, then we hate each other, then we date each other? I don't get it. I don't ever remember being particularly gay either. But then again, I'm not exactly into girls... I'm just waiting to see how this turns out, with going on holiday I might get happier and we could make this work. Is that wrong? Hoping that he grows on me?

"Let's go." Kai said, nudging me. I look up at him. We were currently in a CD shop, with Kenny, Tyson and Max. I withdrew myself from the stack of CD's that I had gotten myself lost in. I turn to face him.

"Ok." I said, looking back at the other three. "Guys, we will be right back." They look up Tyson nods, Max smiles, and Kenny replies with, "Ok, call me if you can't find us." He indicated to his new mobile phone. I smile and shake my head as Kai grabs my hand and drags me off with him. We walked past many shops. Many of the shops were tourist shops, clothing shops, toy shops, music shops, and book shops. We finally came to a stop, when Kai pulled me into this weird room that had lounge's and a TV, and other such things, likea small coffee and alchohole bar. I blinked in realisation as Kai let go of my hand, which I hadn't been aware that he was even holding, that Kai had lead us to a very secluded coffee bar. We were standing at the counter, when a male, around 20, walked behind the bar, with a few dirty glasses in his hand. He put them down and looked up at us.

"What can I do for you?" He asked Kai. Kai frowned slightly, and hardened his stoic mask that had been set in place.

"A black coffee, and a ginger tea." He said shortly. He gave the guy a twenty dollar note and sneered at the boy as he gave Kai his change. We sat down in the back corner, that was out of sight. The boy walked over with our drinks and placed them down infront of us.

"Thank you." I said to the boy, as he smiled weakly at me. He hurried away. Kai turned to me as I reached out my hand and gently took his in my own. As my fingers linked into his, my thoughts began to drift away...

This doesn't feel so wrong... I told Kai that we would give it a go, and I'm not going to go back on what I said. His hand is so warm and soft. And look at him now, hell, he's shaking ever-so-slightly! Why should I miss out on an opportunity like this, it's obvious he cares. It's so nice to have someone like that. // But I have the love from my family and the White Tigers. Why do I need Kai// Because I'm so lonely. I'm sick of feeling like a failure. // Why do I feel like a failure// I don't know what to do. // Why decide yet? We've only been doing this for like, two days. Chill out, and everything will work out.

I snapped back, into reality. I smiled at Kai as he looked down at our conjoined hands. He looked back up, his mask slightly gone for a second, as we began to lean in towards each other. Our noses were touching and I could feel his breath against my skin. I leaned my head slightly and gave him a small kiss on the lips. He reponded by applying abit more pressure against our lips. We pulled away, and I could feel myself burning up. I must look like a tomato. I picked up my ginger tea and sculled it. Kai picked his up and started sipping on it. He glanced at his watch that he was wearing and put his cup down.

"Ray, we have to go. Plane goes in a few." He said as he stood up. I nodded and placed my nearly-empty cup down. I stood up and held his arm as we walked out, but let go of it automatically as I saw Kenny, Tyson, and Max walking infront of us.

"Let them see." Kai muttered as I let go. I shook my head.

"Not yet." I whispered to him. I ran up to my friends.

"Hey guys, lets go to the boarding area. Plane boards soon." I said jumping infront of them, energetically. They looked slightly surprised to see me, and then Kenny started to panic, rushing everybody to the passport checking section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow. First class. This is nice. Kai looks so... normal and sane when he's sleeping. Look at him. What a cutie. How could I feel any doubt about being with him// Haha. That lady has green hair with pink stripes. //

Wow, Kai and I actually kissed. I feel so calm and happy right now.

We are sitting on the plane. Kai has fallen asleep, and Tyson is running his finger over Dragoon. Max is watching a movie and Kenny is listening to his MP3 player. What am I doing? I am just thinking.

It's been awhile since our last tournament, which was when Tyson, Daichi, and Kenny were a team. And I was back with Lee, Mariah, Kevin, and Gary. Max was in the All Stars, and Kai... What was he with? Ahh thats right. The Demolition Boys. I certainly remember those days. It was when Tyson had finally taken it too far, he was always Number 1 and we wanted a fair go. Of course, now none of that matters. Seeing as how we are a team again. But I do miss how close we had gotten... Especially me and Max...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ray?" I blinked my eye's open at the sound of my name.

"Yooo..." I managed to slur out groggily. I saw my blonde-headed friend leaning over me. He smiled and leant down and gave me a chaste kiss on the lips. He got off of me, and rolled off the bed, walking over to the curtains.

"Max! No!" I hollered. He ignored me, and opened the curtains.

"Oh God, Max! What the hell is wrong with you?" He shook his head and laughed. He made his way back to the bed and pulled out my cushion from under my head and wacked my bare stomach with it. I frantically reached for his waist and pulled him onto the bed. He yelped as he landed next to me. I quickly jumped onto him and started to tickle him, as we both started laughing...

"Ray?" I sat upright in my seat. I could feel that I had been sweating heavily. My forehead and the back of my neck was damp from the pirspiration. Uh that's seriously gross.

"Ray? You look seriously freaked man. Whats wrong?" I turned and faced Max. I smiled weakly at his disparing and worried expression.

"Just thinking about the old times, Max." I could see some of the colour drain from his face. He looked sad at mention of that and also awquard. I let my smile slip back into the passive expression that had been inclined onto me for awhile now. His sadness quickly grew anger and he glared at me, which don't be shocked by, because that was a look I was used to getting from Max... ever since...

"Well, Ray. That was a long time ago. You really shouldn't be living in the past so much anymore." Max said with a harsh tone. I gritted my teeth and hissed at him,

"Well Max, I was just thinking about what a loser I was for letting those things happen." I ignored his slightly pained look that was hidden beneath his angry one, and got out of my seat, and looked for a bathroom.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where were you, Ray?" I looked up from my science text book.

"When?" I leant back onto the tree that I was sitting infront of. Kai frowned and folded his arms.

"This morning. Kenny went into your room to get Drigger off of you do repairs, and you weren't there. And your bed hadn't been slept in." He glared at me as I slowly twirled my pencil around in my hand. I looked into his eyes.

"Why don't we ever talk and hang out like we used to?" I asked him. His eyes remained hard, and expressionless.

"Answer the question, Kon. Where were you?" He said in the same old, hard tone. I stood up and felt my eyes slitting.

"Why don't you answer mine, Kai? Why are you ignoring me like when we first met? We are supposed to be.. like best friends, and you're treating me like I'm trying to poison you, or deicived you!" He dropped his arms down to his sides. He took a step closer to me.

"You want to know why I'm like this? You want to know why we're not 'best friends' anymore?" He said sneering, but with a childs voice. I glared hard at him. I could feel my canines against my lips.

"Yes Kai. I do." I felt myself calming down abit, he was finally going to tell me what was wrong. He looked away then looked back, his glare almost deathly.

"Well, if we are meant to be so close, then why didn't you tell me that you were sleeping with Max?"

"Wh-what?"

I frowned. Why am I remembering all of this stuff? I told myself that I had to forget all of it. Why haven't I?Turning away from the mirror, I leaned against the basin. I am feeling so tired, these memories are draining me. I wish they would stop...

"Ray, is that you in there?" I stared at the door, as if I could see Kai.

"Yes, just a few more minutes." I said, as if guessing that he wanted to use this stall.

"No, Ray, open up." I opened up the door, and he came in. I locked the door after closing it. We had a good amount of room between each of us, seeing as we were in first class. He stared at me. I leaned back against the basin, as he leant against the wall to my left. I looked down, letting my long fringe fall over my eyes.

"What was that about?" I looked up, surprised.

"You heard?" I asked, with the nervousness playing in my voice. Kai got off of the wall and rested his body against mine, with his arms either side of me. I pulled him closer to me and wrapped my arms around his waist, and drooped my head onto his shoulder.

"Yeah." I frown at this, and sigh.

"Just, Max and I still aren't too good."

"After the whole jealousy thing?"

"Yeah." He kissed the side of my face. I smile as he pulls away from me and walks over to the door.

"I came to tell you, the plane lands soon." I nod.

"Just a few more mins to get my head sorted, Okay?" I say. He nods. I leap at him and kiss him. I pull away and he smirks.

"Few minutes." He says as he closes the door. I nod. I turn back around to face my reflection. Discust and shame is clearly on my face.

I kissed Kai... Why did that feel so wrong?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahh Australia. Beautiful, warm and laidback.

We are currently leaving the airport, and I feel so tired. Luckily, Kenny told us that the place that we are going to be staying at isn't too far away.

"Look there's Mr Dickenson!" Tyson yelled.

And just like Tyson had said, Mr Dickenson was awaiting us as he stood next to a limo that had BBA printed on the side.

"Hey Mr Dickenson!" Tyson yelled enthusiastically. The fat old man smiled and patted Tysons and Max's back as they ran over to him.

"Hello, Tyson my boy. Max, how are you?"

"Good as Mr Dickenson, Sir... Hey look! A vending machine!" Tyson said as he and Max walked over to the vending machine and tried to put their spare change together to try and scrape a decent amount together. Kai, Kenny and I walked up to Mr Dickenson.

"Hey Mr Dickenson. How are you?" Mr Dickenson smiled kindly at me.

"I'm good. And how are you coping Ray?"

"I have been getting better."

Shorter than the last, yes, but this is just kinda like, a stopover chapter.
