Bye-bye Maxie!

Ray slurred happily as everyone laughed in shock. Hilary shook her head furiously while she japed in self pity. This had to be a joke.

"Tyson, are you kidding? No way am I gonna let you hump my fucking leg!" The female spat, a clear pink blush rose over her cheeks. She stared up at the flustered teenage boy as even he looked slightly reluctant about the whole thing but seemed rather keen to do it. "I have more dignity than you think."

"But Hil, I have to, otherwise I'll be out... and I'm winning this, I swear," Tyson glanced around with a scowl directed at his friends.

Ray chortled. "You gotta make noises too."

"WHAT!?" The two rose-colored teens screamed in unison.

"Since when did this turn into a competitive game?" Max asked with worry.

"Since Tyson's say so," Kai rolled his eyes at Tyson. "And if that's what the chicken wuss wants..."

"Ohohoho," Tyson pointed at the phoenix. "Chicken wuss? Well, pardon me Mr. Homo, but if you want a battle you've got one."

"I'm not homosexual," Kai defended quickly and glared at Tyson, earning a smirk from the dragon. Oh. That's it. He's going down.

"Uhm, guys," A voice sang, and the collision of electric waves spewed between Tyson and Kai's eyes ended and pulled away abruptly. "Sorry to interrupt but Tyson has got humping to do." Ray giggled which made Tyson realize there was still a problem. If Hilary didn't let him do this then he would be out straight away...

"Hilary, if you were in my shoes and you wanted to win so badly after that crack you'd do the same to me right?" He gazed into her ruby orbs. For a second, he was sure a stroke of wonder slipped through them. Her gaze was rather mind-blowing, being stuck on him for so long making him feel kind of weird. Must be the drink. Must be.

The brunette sighed and gave in. "Fine..."

Oh, man... At that exact moment a rush of nerves shot through Tyson. He grabbed his bottle and drank for a few seconds, downing it all until to everyone's surprise—nothing was left. He leant down and asked for her leg, but instead she stood up and folded her arms, blushing madly.

"Remember the noises!" Ray grinned, his drunken gaze fixed on Tyson.

Tyson rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah... HIC!" Suddenly, he launched onto Hilary's leg, a squeak escaping from her mouth. In amusement, the room fell silent when Tyson held onto her leg, riding up and down it like he was on a sledge. All eyes widened when he began to get faster, now in the position of a dog like how they loved to hump table legs and actual people.

"Oh my..." Max gaped. There was nothing else to say. Hilary looked like she was about to erupt in embarrassment. Kenny, on the other hand, blocked his eyes from the horrific view.

"Ruff! Ruff! Oh yeah Rilary!" Tyson barked and tried to talk in a dog voice. Jaws now dropped further.

"Gah!! Tyson!" Hilary cried, unable to watch him any more. She covered her fragile eyes. She never felt so humiliated in her life. What in the world is he doing?!

"Ruffffffff, ohhh rufffff raby!"

"Ah! That's enough you stupid mutt!" Hilary squealed and to her great relief, the shaking of her leg stopped and the corrupt teen let go.

There was a very awkward pause. Then the whole room burst into fits of laughter.

"Hahaha!" Daichi screamed. He spat out his alcohol unintentionally with that action.

Max cried with laughter as he pointed at the boiling expression on Tyson and Hilary's faces. "Down boy, down!" Now that had to be one of the funniest things he had seen in his life. The humping was one thing, but when Tyson did the dog impression...oh god. There were no decent words for it.

Even Kai had trouble maintaining his sensibility. He too roared in laughter.

"Woof!" Daichi mocked. That alone got everyone else started.

"Ruff!"

"Woof!"

"Woof!"

"Woofff!"

"Moo!"

Max snorted. "Yes Ray... that's a cow."

"Well you said make noises! Laugh all you want! I actually don't give two hoots!" Tyson declared. He slumped down in his place after a glance briefly towards Hilary who still had her eyes covered. He moaned. He wandered to the pile of bottles and grabbed another to quickly swing it down. "So... it's my turn to pick."

Kenny wiped the tear from his eye. "I'm sorry, Tyson, but... as disturbing as it was, the dog noises were pretty hilarious."

After more giggled laughs Ray managed to spill his drink all over Kai (who then looked possessed out of annoyance) when they finally settled down and turned their attention to Tyson. "Truth, dare, double dare, promise to repeat, hot chilli peppers, liquorice or electric chair Maxie?"

The blonde rubbed his hands together. "Ohhh let me see... how about hot chilli peppers. Bahahahahaha!" He laughed evilly before he took a drink. Max was certainly going over the border of the tipsy side.

"Oh wonderful, the first victim to choose hot chilli peppers. Well done," Tyson congratulated with a sneer. "So, let's see..." He pondered for a moment, evil schemes vended his mind. He needed the perfect one. "Okay, Max. Go make out with a pair of underwear."

Max raised an eyebrow. "Uh.. O..kay?"

"That's stupid," Daichi muttered.

A wide grin spread across Tyson's lips. "With ladies' underwear."

Coming to a quick conclusion, Hilary slammed her hand down on the floor in protest. "Oh no you don't!" Anger burned through her voice. "You're not getting your hands on my lingerie, no chance."

"Uhh..." Max blushed, unsure what to do. It was an embarrassing dare but Tyson and Kai weren't the only ones who wanted to win. Anything to spare that electric chair and hard slavery. And if anything, he didn't want to be Tyson's slave. He knew that would involve a lot of cooking. "Then what am I supposed to do?"

"It doesn't have to be Hilary's," Tyson told him. "Why not have a snoop around some gardens?"

"HA!" Daichi exclaimed.

"Are you mad!?" Max cried in disbelief. "You know if I get caught kissing a pair of woman's underwear on a washing line... I'll get branded a closet pervert!"

Sniggers were heard at that. "But that's a chance you gotta take, Max," Tyson said.

"Max's gunna be a closet pervert HAR!" Ray laughed and pointed.

The blonde narrowed his eyes. "Not yet I'm not." He blinked. "No wait! I mean...ARGHH!" He blushed a dark shade of red. "Okay, OKAY! I'll do it!" He leapt to his feet and raised his hand. "But this doesn't leave the circle, agreed?"

Kenny nodded. "Of course! That's one of the most strict rules of truth or dare!"

Promptly Max ran from the Dojo. He sped off out into the night. The crew all got up with clumsiness as the room begun to spin for some of them. Until now they hadn't realized how much they had been affected by the alcohol, though it wasn't much of a surprise, they all had clear heads still- all apart from Ray, who fell over as soon as he stood up.

Kai rolled his eyes and decided to help him up. After having grabbed the dopey Neko's arm before he fell again. Ray grinned and threw himself against Kai, his breath making Kai cringe.

"Thanks Mr. Homo!" Ray sang drunkenly while sticking up his thumb. Kai groaned. He told himself that Ray didn't have a clue what he was saying and that it shouldn't bother him. All he knew was that he was seriously going to kill that Tyson. However he couldn't help but stare at Ray's lips—and shivered. To his annoyance he couldn't shake off that kiss. He didn't know what it was about it, but ever since it had made him feel extremely different, as though there was someone else in his head telling him it was actually good.

He shook his head furiously. No way. He erased everything from his mind as the two made their way outside, Ray now having to fend for himself. Tyson, Max, Daichi and Kenny zoomed up the street to chase after Max who was trying to find a suitable, quiet-looking house to invade the garden for knickers. Never in a million years did he expect he would be doing this.

The blonde ran with hesitance into a back garden. He stopped to make sure all the lights in the house were off. When he was satisfied he stepped in, heading straight to the washing line.

The gang made it just in time to skid behind the gate when they caught sight of Max just about to make out with a pair of pink knickers. Max took one glance at them with a blush as he turned back to the hanging lingerie. I can't believe I'm about to do this...

Everyone sniggered when Max's lips touched them. He brought a hand behind them to hold against him as he began to make out with the undergarment. They smelt pretty nice he guiltily thought. He moved his lips against them. He was pretty sure his alcoholic breath would leave a mark on them. Shame, really.

"AHHHHH!" The scream brought Max to abruptly stop his awkward action and looked across at the house, eyes wide and terrified. A woman pointed and screamed. "DEVIANT!"

Tyson and his friends all froze—then legged it.

"Ah! No!" They heard Max scream and when they were sure they were out of sight from the mad woman, they looked out into the street to see Max running off up the road with the woman close behind.

They all stopped for a second.

"I get the feeling that's the last we'll see of Max," Kenny concluded with a heated face. Somehow he was always the one with a flushed face despite not even doing the the dare.

"Bahahaha!" Tyson was in fits of laughter with Ray.

"You guys are jerks," Kai stated—but it didn't sound like he really meant it.

Daichi shrugged. "Well, he's out anyway. He won't be coming back after what that woman does to him."

Hilary rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I can imagine."

"Heh heh. Electric chair and slavery for Max then," Tyson sniggered. "Should we continue?" All six teens wandered back into the Dojo, forming the circle again.

There was silence.

"Uh..who's go is it?" Asked Hilary.

"Well, technically it would be Max's...but...he's not here," Kenny mourned. "So I guess Tyson would have another go..."

"All right baby!" Tyson grinned as he rubbed his nose. "Okay. You know the drill...Kai!"

The phoenix grunted in response with crossed arms. After a few seconds he said loudly and clearly, "Truth."

"Ah," The dragon gawked with a chicken sound. "Playing it safe ey? All right then...then tell me this. And answer truthfully. Are you gay?"

Daichi laughed loudly and Kenny just threw Kai all the sympathetic looks in the world. Hilary gagged and her face turned into a delightful red. Ray on the other hand giggled hysterically, somehow having remembered the kiss that probably drove Tyson to ask such a question.

Kai looked sweaty all of a sudden. His face cracked up and his crimson eyes wandered around the room to settle on each member of the gang before he let out a slight grunt that sounded like 'Hn'. Something overthrew him inside that he couldn't ignore. He knew the answer to the stupid pathetic question was a no. But every time he told himself that, Ray's kiss swarmed back. Ah. What's wrong with me? Why can't I get that stupid kiss out of my head?

"Come on, Kai!" Tyson urged.

"He's stalling," Daichi grinned.

That was it. A simple "No," Fell from the phoenix's mouth.

"..." Hilary wanted to cry in disappointment. She'd hoped for a bit more action between Kai and Ray. She took a huge drink of the strong stuff in grief.

"You know Kai, you're supposed to tell the truth, Einstein," The dragon taunted.

Kai just glared at him. "Thanks for comparing me to Einstein."

Hilary giggled. She leant over to Tyson's ear and began to whisper wondrously. "You don't.. really think he's gay do you?"

Tyson whispered back. "Na. It's funny seeing how that kiss with Ray has affected the poor soul. I've got a new blackmailing situation here." Hilary giggled. He pulled away and spoke to the whole group, his gaze on Kai. "So, it's Kai's turn!"

Kai rolled his eyes, scanning his friends for a second. A particular red head caught his eye. "Daichi."

The cheeky teen grinned triumphantly. "Hurrah! Then I pickkk dare-"

"-From now on you're my slave until the end of the game," Kai spoke quickly, Daichi's jaw dropped. "So, slave. You have to do everything I tell you to do. You're not allowed to speak unless spoken to and you have to ask my permission to use the toilet."

Daichi opened his mouth to speak, stunned, his green eyes failing to blink due to the dare. Kai immediately shook his head, a sly smirk appearing on his lips. "Nuh-uh." The phoenix took pleasure in the boy's already dreaded expression. "You know the rules." He took another drink from his bottle with a gasp of delight as the liquid slid down his throat.

Everyone burst out in laughter. "Real smooth, Kai!" Laughed Kenny. "Poor Daichi!"

"Heh heh. Ohhh Daichi looks mad, what's he gonna do!?" Tyson sang in the teen's fuming face. "...NOTHING! HAH! He can't do anything!"

Kai continued. "First thing I want you to do, slave. I'm feeling hungry. Go make everyone spicy sausages."

Tyson snorted as Daichi's face turned from white, to pink, to red, just about ready to explode. "Yeah. You'll find them in the fridge." He turned to Kai. "Nice thinking Kai. I'm starving." Daichi hung his head shamefully with his fist close to Kai's face.

The slate-haired teen just stared at it like it was dirt. "What's this? Is slave refusing my wishes? Get to it now! Or I'll have Ray whip you as you cook! Go! Go!" Daichi looked shocked then scowled before he thundered his way to the kitchen.

"Y-You'll have Ray whip him!?" Tyson was lying on his back, his stomach held in laughter. "Kai dude, what are you on!?"

Kai waved the bottle of alcohol in his hands. "This stuff apparently."

Ray looked confused and held a blank face. "Uhm." Attention rose onto him and tapped his chin. "Did you mean it about whipping him?"

Hilary chuckled. "Why, do you want to?"

The Neko-Jin blushed then happily opened up another bottle, much to everyone's bewilderment. Next to him, the bottles were really piling up. "Hahahaha...it's kinky. But no. It's nauseating." His voice trailed off and for some reason, Kai felt quite relieved. Where had that come from anyway? The drink really did do some weird things to you at times.

"Kinky!?" Tyson repeated, gripping his chest in laughter. "K-Kinky!?"

Kenny rolled his eyes. "Let's get on with the game. But...it's Daichi's turn and he's uh...slaving away..."

"No problem. I'll just go give him permission to speak," Kai stood up, his hand still gripped around his drink. He left the room then a few moments later reappeared. "He says he chooses Hilary. So?" Everyone looked at the brunette in wonder. She pondered for a moment.

"I think I'll go with...double dare!" The brunette giggled bravely. He went back into the kitchen for a few minutes then showed his face again, snapping at a spicy sausage. "He says he dares you to prank call Tala."

"Sausages!" Tyson exclaimed at the sight of the poor pig in Kai's mouth.

"Prank call Tala? What if he knows it's me? He'll kill me!" She gasped.

Kai shrugged. "Then put on a different accent." Just then Daichi emerged from the room with a plateful of sausages, his expression grim.

"Yay! Give them here slave!" Tyson yelled hungrily.

"He's MY slave," Kai corrected.

"Yeah yeah, just gimme gimme!" The hyperactive teenager snatched the place from Daichi's hand, the redhead glared. If looks could kill, then Tyson had truly had it. The plate went around the circle a few times and everyone munched away, even Hilary was, hoping they had forgot about her dare.

"Slave, permission to speak," Kai grinned and saw Daichi's face light up.

"Finally. First of all, you're a fucking bastard Kai. Secondly. Give me those sausages!" The redhead launched towards the plate only for Tyson to act quickly and remove them from his reach which left a spot on the floor open and Daichi clunked his head off the wood. He yelled out in pain. "AH TYSON!"

"Tyson, just give him one. He made them," Hilary reasoned. For a second Tyson glared at her but then his face softened. Something about that look she gave him...it was so controlling, really hard to give in to. He shook his head quickly before he caused a scene.

"Fine..." He grumbled and passed the plate to the delighted Daichi.

"You are forgetting something, slave..." Kai said.

"What..." Kai gestured his head towards Hilary. "Ah! Yeah, the prank." Daichi sat on his bottom with a stuffed face of food. "I'm gonna write something down and you gotta read it out. Make it sound real, okay?"

"Oh dude, this is gonna be good!" Ray laughed.

"Just make sure Tala doesn't know it's you Hilary..." Kenny suggested.

She rolled her eyes. "Well obviously." Hilary sighed. Immediately Daichi grabbed a piece of paper and pen and scribbled quickly.

"Just change your voice a little," Tyson looked at her through his dark eyes. "Put on a..." His voice rose a few notes and did some sort of girly pose. "...'I'm a pwetty girl' voice."

Daichi sniggered. "You girl."

"I'm not a girl! You..you...GIRL!" Tyson yelled.

"Shut it, I'm finished," the little teen gave her the paper. "Here." A sly grin spread across his lips. "Have fun."

She snatched it from his hands and spared him a scowl. She read the sheet with curiosity. Her ruby orbs widened. "WHAT!?"

"Ohh, let's see!" Ray grabbed the paper from her which earned himself an enraged gasp. She tried to grab it back with flushed cheeks but it was too late by the time Kai, Kenny and Tyson had seen it. The Neko-Jin's eyes widened. Then he burst out laughing, along with the others, minus Kai.

Hilary blushed madly. "I can't!"

Tyson nudged her playfully in the side and lowered his eyelids. "You can. I really don't want to give you that electric chair, Hil. Although...I quite like the idea of you being my slave. Bahaha."

Hilary shrieked and hit the teen on the head. "And who says you're gonna win!?" A pathetic yelp squeezed from his lips. Then she sighed and shook her head. "All right, fine! I'll do it!"

Daichi grinned. "Good. Put it on loud speaker and make it as real as possible, and also-"

Before Daichi could finish Kai spoke. "Time's up slave! I order you to stop talking now."

Tyson pointed and laughed at the shocked green-eyed blader. "HA!" Before Daichi could murder Tyson Kai stopped him with his harmonic voice.

"Slave! Back down! You may attack him when I say so," Kai ordered.

Tyson grinned smugly to rub it in Daichi's face. "Better listen to Kai, sl-slav-...HEY! Wait a minute! What do you mean attack me by your say so!?"

"Ahh guys shut up! Hil's gonna do the prank!" Ray cried.

As though there had been no squabble, all heads spun onto Hilary whose face was pink as she held the phone in her hands with Daichi's sheet of paper in front of her. They watched as she dialled in the numbers, anxious sweat pouring down her face. Thank god for all the consumed drink otherwise never in a million years would she be doing this.

"Shh! It's ringing," The girl whispered—the beeping blasted around the room.

Teehee! Well that's all for now. Is this the last they've seen of Max? Hmm. Next chapter up soon! Take care everyone! Oh, and if you'll be so kind and review you'll make me a very happy bunny.
