Reviews: (Throws cookies to everyone) Thank you!


Ray sits on a park bench letting the warm breeze play with his bangs. He is there waiting for Kai and Tyson. Max, Hilary, Kenny and surprisingly Daichi are all here waiting.

Tyson probably slept in, Ray thought to himself. But I don't know where Kai could be. He might be with Hiro.

Max and Daichi lay in the sun, enjoying it's warmth while Kenny is typing away on his beloved laptop, what he could possibly be typing no one really knows. Hilary stands up from her seat beside Kenny and starts pacing, telling Ray that her patience is all but gone.

"Tyson, that stupid pig probably slept in but that's nothing unusual, but what is unusual is Kai being late, where could he be?"

Ray sighs as he ran a hand through his hair. "Kai might be with Hiro, Hil."

The mention of Kai and Hiro in the same sentence brought sparkles to Hilary's eyes and she then starts to ramble about how cute they are together.

"As for Tyson, lets go raid his dojo and drag his lazy butt out of bed."

The sparkles in Hilary's eyes vanish and is replaced by something more sinister. She agrees, a little too enthusiastically, causing the others to shudder at the thought of what she might do to get Tyson moving.

Picking themselves up from where ever they are, they follow a marching Hilary and head towards the Granger's Dojo, fearing for Tyson's safety. They soon reach the dojo and found Grandpa exercising on the front lawn as he usually does.

"How's it hanging little dudes? My main man Tyson, isn't with you?"

Everyone stop dead in their tracks. "Wait, Tyson isn't here?" Hilary asks.

"The little dude left early this morning, looked to be in a hurry to nowhere, you get what I'm saying?" Grandpa replies, stopping his exercise routine and stands straight his hand scratching his chin.

"That's unusual," Kenny said. "He never came to training like we agreed to yesterday."

"Yeah, and Kai never showed up either," Max places his finger to his cheek in thought.

"Our captain is with Hiro right now, little dudes," Grandpa said and Hilary begins to giggle again. "So better give him space, word?"

Everyone nods and decide that practice is cancelled for the day and went about enjoy the warm summers day.

… … … … … …

Tyson too is lazing around under the sun but he isn't enjoying himself like everyone else is. He is too busy mentally beating himself up for what he did to Kai yesterday, about the way he acted. He was so enraged by the thought of Kai loving someone else that something inside him snapped. He acted like he was possessed by something but he knows that wasn't the case, he may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but he knows when he has acted like an idiot.

All he really remembers was telling Kai that he loved him and Kai rejecting his feelings, telling him that he was in love with Hiro. The next thing he remembers that he was leaning over Kai, his hands around his throat. Kai stared up at him and he never looked so startled or bewildered before.

Kai wasn't the only person that was scared that day, Tyson even scared himself. The lack of control he had over his actions is what scares him the most. Because of his foolish actions he may have lost Kai and Hiro for good. He may also have lost the trust the others has in him, all because of a bit of jealousy.

It wasn't fair to Tyson that Kai loved Hiro. He has know Kai longer, he is his rival, his friend and Tyson wants him to be something more. He never really made any move before because he always thought that Kai would be free, believing no one would love him the way he did, or thought he did. No, it isn't fair. But it's still no excuse for the way he acted yesterday, or before that. He has been so cold and distant to Kai and Hiro when they announced their relationship. He thought it was all a joke. But seeing the two of them together, actually seeing the two of them kiss is what brought it all home for him, they really are together.

Tyson sighs and rolls over to his side, his hands subconsciously playing with the grass there. He and Kai came here a few times just to watch the clouds. He thought sadly to himself if that will ever happen again. Will Kai ever trust him again? Can Tyson trust himself when he is, or if ever, alone with Kai again?

What should he do if he runs into Hiro and Kai again? No it will be inevitable, Kai is staying at his place because of the legal proceedings to all of Voltaire wealth is being dragged out and Kai has nowhere else to go. He doesn't wish to go back to Russia, even though the blitzkrieg boys are there, it just brings too many painful memories of all the torture and pain he had to go through in the Abbey.

He has made up his mind,. He will find Kai and apologize to him. Beg for forgiveness if he has to, go out and do things that are absolutely humiliating just to make things right between them again. Even if it kills him, he will make things right.

Somehow.


A little bit shorter than the other chapters. I was in a better mood so I tried my best not to bash Tyson too much. Did I succeed?

Kai: Not really.

Oh, well. :)

Next chapter: Kai wakes up again and Ray is confused.

Read and review, please.
