Hello there! Thank you for reading my Fanfic! I'm truly gratefull! This is chapter 2 just so you know.
Anyway. I don't own anyting. Enjoy!
They were sitting at two round tables – that they had had to pull together to make room for all of them to sit down at the same place – in a rather small café by the square. They were all sitting in either armchairs or couches that were dressed in red leather with Ray and Kai sitting next to each other in the middle with their teams on their sides. Tyson – who was sitting by the right table with the rest of The Bladebreakers with the straw to his milkshake in his mouth – was staring at both of them as if he could still not believe what he had heard. Kai didn't seem to mind – sitting in his usual position with arms crossed and eyes shout – but Ray felt how he was starting to get nervous.
"I just don't get it!" Tyson exclaimed and rose from his armchair. After standing for a few seconds he once again sat down – or rather, crashed down. Starting to rub his head in confusion and knitted his eyebrows as he looked at Ray and Kai. Max – who was sitting next to him in another armchair – sighed, put down his cold drink on the table and then looked at them.
"Yeah, he's right" he said looking them straight in the eye with his almost hurt once. "I mean, we're happy for you guys, but… Why didn't you tell us?"
Ray opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He looked down at his knees – where he was holding onto his own drink – unsure how to answer him. Why hadn't he told them?
"'Cause I told him not to" Kai answered simply, opened his eyes and looked at the shocked Max. "If you guys know, then soon others will as well and it'll just be troublesome."
"Then why did you tell us in the end?" Tyson asked and they could all hear that anger was building up. They'd been through so many of "Tyson VS Kai"-matches in the past that they knew the signs and even the outcome. Tyson would lose his temper – as usual with Kai – and Kai would pretend not to notice him until Tyson upset ran out of the room – simple and predictable, but true.
"Because Ray asked me to" he once again answered simply. The others all stared at them with the same sentences ringing through their heads. Had they kept quiet because one of them wanted that and then told them because the other wanted it? Were they just doing as the other one said? Were they really just like any other lovebirds?
Tala – who had quietly been sitting with his legs crossed in one of the armchairs on the left side – felt it was finally time for him to speak up. He put down the big glass on the table and looked at Kai who just bluntly stared back at him.
"Kai, I don't like this" he began and saw one of Kai's eyebrows raise. "This will get in the way of our training and bring down the whole team. I can not accept this."
An intense battle between red and blue eyes that everyone in the group gathered in the café could feel was interrupted by the harsh voice of the silver haired Blader sitting next to Tala.
"Yeah, and how come you chose Ray of all people?" Bryan said with a smirk on his face that Kai couldn't do anything but hate. "He's a wimp!"
"Shut it, Bryan" Kai answered with a threatening tone in his voice that just made Bryan's smirk bigger. Kai and Bryan had never been on good terms and ever since they had joined the same team they had just been trying to find ways to make each other's lives a hell – resulting in both of them getting on even worse terms. "You're one to talk. You found your girlfriend floating on an ice floe. Oh, and you were with her too so that means that you're on the same level." Kai didn't actually have anything against her – she was a nice girl – but the fact that she was dating Bryan made her a victim as well and she would have to put up with it.
Bryan rose from the armchair and was about to go over to punch Kai in the face when Tala extended his arm to stop him. Their eyes meet and an annoyed Bryan once again sat down thanks to his best and dearest friend – Tala.
Spencer – who was sitting beside Kai – on the other hand, didn't look too thrilled about what his team mates had said to his other team mate. Caught in the middle – both literally and figuratively – he watched his team mates quiet battle between eyes.
When Kai realized that they could actually sit like that for days he decided to turn towards The Bladebreakers. They wouldn't change his mind anyway and as they realized that the whole team got up and left. Tala stopped at the exit and turned his head towards them.
"If you're going to keep that attitude you might as well not come back to the hotel" he said with his icy blue eyes cold as – just that – ice.
"Gladly" Kai answered with eyes just as cold and as they'd left he turned towards the other team. All of their sad looks pointed towards him – even Ray's. He sighed and waited for a comment that was sure to come.
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Kai?" Kenny asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"Yeah, they're your team after all" Max continued and looked at him with his blue orbs.
"They've never been much of my team" he answered and turned to look the other way. Ray on the other hand once again looked down at his knees. Had he just caused this to happen? Things really hadn't turned out the way he wanted them to. Had Kai been right? But that couldn't be. They needed him and he needed them – even if they didn't act like it. He looked up at his partner that for some reason looked back.
"They'll come around" he said with a confident voice that was actually a bit comforting to Kai even though he didn't show it.
