"What do you think of us?"

Kai tried to stop himself but he couldn't. "Tyson, I think you're a good blader. And Max, you're defense is awesome." Kai bit his lip and glared at the floor.

"I like this spell." Tyson commented. "What about...Kenny?"
"Kenny's really intelligent for a kid his age. Without him, our blades wouldn't be nearly as good as they are." Kai bit his lip harder. Everything was just coming out. He never wanted to tell his team what he really thought of them. That would make him seem soft.

"So what about Rei?" Tyson continued, eager to see what he thought about the last member of their team.

Kai's eyes widened. He bit his lip hard enough to make it bleed and covered his mouth so his reply came out as total gibberish.

"What was that Kai?" Max urged.

"M mmm mmm." Kai mumbled again, refusing to move his hands.

"Still didn't catch that." Tyson and Max giggled.

"Guys stop it." Rei ordered. "Kai, you don't have to answer."

Kai sighed with relief. He didn't have the urge to say it any more. He was going to kill Tyson and Max.

"Fine." Tyson sighed as he grabbed the plate of cooked pancakes and sat at the table. Max soon followed with a bowl of cereal and toast.

Rei leaned in front of Kai and softly cleaned the blood off his lip with a wet napkin. "Here's your coffee Kai." Rei said, handing Kai the coffee cup after he was finished.

"Thanks." he mumbled taking the glass. He had to hold the glass with two hands seeing as they were so small. After taking a small sip, he grabbed a piece of toast. Taking a little bite, he sat in complete silence as he ate his breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone went out back for practice. Tyson and Max were at the dish, getting ready to launch their blades.

"3...2...1! Let it rip!" Tyson and Max launched their blades as Rei called the count down.

"Come on Dragoon! Show him what you've got!" Tyson urged his blade.

"Don't let him win Draciel!" Max ordered as Dragoon almost hit Draciel.

Tyson smirked. "Dragoon! Galaxy Storm!"

Max growled slightly. "Draciel! Gravity Control!"

Max was to late. Dragoon hit Draciel hard, knocking the blade out of the ring.

"The winner! Tyson!" Rei called.

"Nice battle Max! I wouldn't have been able to beat you if Draciel had used Gravity Control a second sooner."

Max smiled. "Thanks Tyson, but next time, the battle's mine!" The boys shook on it before laughing.

"Ok." Kenny said, typing the stats on Dizzi. "Rei, Kai. You're up."

"Ok. Kai are you," Rei started before trailing of. "ready...?"

Kai looked up at Rei with a huge smile on his face. "YES!" he screamed jumping up from his spot.

"Kai are you ok?" Rei asked having never seen Kai so bouncy before.

"Yes of course I am Rei. Why wouldn't I be Rei?" he said quickly before he became silent, his eyes becoming big with amazement. "Look at the birdie." he said slowly, pointing at the bird in the tree.

"Little Kai and caffeine do not mix." Max said as they glanced at the bird before turning back to Kai, only to find him gone.

"Kai?" Rei called. "Where did you go?" When he didn't get an answer, he started to get worried. "Guys, where did he go?"

"I'll give you one guess." Kenny said as he pointed towards the tree, or better yet, Kai.

The others turned around to see Kai trying to climb the tree. "He's just like a kid." Tyson said as Rei went running to the tree. Looking up, he frowned. "Kai! Get down here!" Rei called up to him. "You're going to get hurt!"

"No!" Kai whined. "I have to get the birdie!" He continued climbing higher, trying to reach the small red bird at the top of the tree. He yelped as his foot slipped, but he grabbed onto a nearby tree branch. Determined, he continued climbing higher until he was almost by the little bird.

"He's just like a kid." Tyson said again as he watched Kai try to catch the bird.

Kai smirked as he saw the bird, it's small, feathery back turned towards him. Kai counted to three in his head before he jumped. As soon as he did though, the bird flew away. Kai growled slightly and tried to grab the branch, but his hands slipped and he started falling. Looking down, he saw how far down the ground was. His eyes widened and he began to scream. As the ground got closer and closer, he closed his eyes, waiting for the impact, but it never came. Instead he landed in the arms of Rei.

"My God Kai! Don't do that again!" Rei scolded as he held Kai tightly. "Why did you do that?!"

"I'm sorry Rei." Kai sniffled as he buried his face in Rei's chest, fisting his tiny hands in Rei's shirt.

"It's like he's not even Kai anymore." Max commented as he, Tyson, and Kenny stared at Kai and Rei.

"Now are you ok?" Rei asked softly, as he rocked Kai trying to calm him down. Kai nodded his head as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Laying his head against Rei's chest, he closed his eyes, quickly falling asleep. Rei smiled softly at his sleeping face before gently kissing his cheek. Carrying the sleeping child inside, Rei left the other three to stare completely confused at what was happening.
