Chapter 7 Part I: Busted All the Way?
The next morning, the Hiwatari moaned a groaned as he turned his head back and forth, forcing himself to wake up. By the time he opened his eyes, he felt a warm heat against his cheek. "It feels warm..." he thought to himself.
Wondering where the heat is coming from, he looked up to see the Granger back in his normal teen form, sleeping quietly. He quickly sat up and moved away from the sleeping teen with some pinkness forming in his cheeks. "Oh gosh...I'm going insane now..."
He left the bedroom and headed over to the living room.
"Hey Kai!" exclaimed the blondy.
"Max...you're back to normal..." Kai said.
"What? Was I a chibi again?"
Kai nodded in agreement. "Yeah..."
"AH-HA! Got ya!" he exclaimed as he pointed a finger at him.
"Huh?"
"YOU GOT YOUR MEMORY BACK! You before didn't know that WE ARE ABLE TO TURN INTO CHIBIS!!! NOW FESS UP!"
"Max...quiet down..." Kai retorted as he crossed his arms across his chest, giving him a glare. "You're making too much noise..."
"Now, that's the real Kai I know!" he exclaimed as he hooked his arm around the Hiwatar's neck.
"Max..." the dual haired teen warned in a serious tone which signalled him to separate from the phoenix's master. "So...umm...how did you get your memory back?"
"I got some of it back yesterday when you...as a chibi...hit my head with a frying pan..." he replied.
"Oh...umm...hehe...sorry..." the blondy said while sweatdropping. "I hope he doesn't kill me..."
"Whatever..."
"Phew...he didn't..."
"So...we're glad your memory is back. Did you tell Tyson yet?"
"He's still sleeping...and not yet..."
"I see...so, are you still going on with the secret admirer letter?" the blondy said while giving a wink to him.
"What...don't tell me that my amnesia self told you..."
"Yep...he said you liked Tyson..."
"..."
The Tate walked up closer to the Hiwatari asking, "Is it true...for the real you?"
"..."
"Morning everyone!" Tyson said as he stretched his arms into the air as he joined the two teens.
"Morning Tyson!" Max said after he turned around to see the navy haired teen.
"Morning..." Kai replied.
"What's up?" the navy haired teen asked.
"You and Max turned into...umm...little chibis..."
"WHAT!?!? OH GOSH...I'M SORRY KAI IF WE GOT YOU INTO ANY TROUBLE!!!"
"No...it's okay...I umm...I managed..." Kai said as he looked away. "He better not notice..."
"Well...umm...I haven't told you about it...but for some reason...Max, Ray, you and I were cursed to change into chibis part of the time...during that time...we have no memory what so ever..."
"I see..."
"So yeah..."
The Hiwatari looked down on the floor. "Should I tell him about my...recovery?"
"Oh yeah! I found another letter from the secret admirer!" (Refer to the red note that chibi Tyson found in the previous chapter.)
"Really!?!" the blondy snapped, playing along with Kai.
"All it says that my admirer is not a girl..."
"OoOoOo...someone's gay..."
The Hiwatari frowned as he glared a 'you will die' stare at the blondy who is giving his cheery smile.
"So...who do you think it is from?" Max asked.
"I don't know..." Tyson said.
He turned his attention to Kai who was busy looking at the note. He soon met eye to eye with the Hiwatari.
"Remember...do not show hints that I have my memory returned..." Kai thought. "Something wrong Tyson?"
"Oh no...of course not!" he snapped.
"So, any thoughts yet?" Max asked.
"It might be some random person that we do not know of..." Kai suggested.
"Or it might be Kai..." Tyson muttered.
"Huh?" the two teens turned to the Granger.
"Oh nothing..."
"Must be my imagination..." Kai thought to himself.
"Hmm...this means Maxy has to play matchmaker now..." Draciel's master thought as a smile formed on his lips.
He turned to the navy haired teen.
"Anyways, Tyson! Let's hang out for a while!" Max exclaimed as he tugged the Granger's arm. "We really need to hang out for a while!"
"But...Kai still has amnesia! We need to take care of him!" Tyson snapped, worrying about the older teen.
"Nonsense! Have faith in him! I'm sure he'll be fine!" he said as he turned his head to the Hiwatari and winked at him. "Here's your chance to make another note!" he said in thought.
The Hiwatari gave a stern look as the two bladers left the dojo. He sighed in defeat.
"I don't know how much longer I can take this..." he thought to himself.
"So Tyson, are you planning to give Kai anything for Valentine's day?" Max asked.
"What...what do you mean?" the Granger asked as the two were walking through the streets of Bay City.
"I know you like Kai...admit it!"
"No I don't!" the navy haired teen snapped.
"Then, why are you protective with him?"
"Because he needs us! He's the one with amnesia!"
"So? What about the other times before he had amnesia?"
"What do you mean by that!?!?!"
"I know...you're always watching over Kai! Not only when he's stuck in his chibi form...but you're always somehow mentioning him in anything you talk about!"
"So what I talk about Kai! That doesn't mean that I like him!"
"So that's not working...I guess I have to bring up my secret weapon!" the blondy thought to himself as his eyes became sharp, watching the Granger.
"AHA! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, YOU CAN'T BREAK ME!" Tyson exclaimed in thought.
"HERE'S THE BETTER PROOF! DAICHI TOLD ME A WHILE AGO THAT YOU DREAMED ABOUT KAI IN YOUR SLEEP!!!" (BOOYA! GO MAX! xD)
The Granger hesitated, trying to think of an excuse.
"Damn...he got me..."
"See, told you," Max continued. "You love him..."
He looked down at his feet, blushing a shade of pink.
"Well...okay...so what?"
"Well...you should get a nice gift for him!"
"As if! Kai will never like me back!"
"Are you referring to the Hiwatari with amnesia or not?"
He hesitated, recalling the moment that he and Kai nearly kissed each other. (Refer to chapter 4)
"Both..." he lied.
"That's not true...because you never told him your feelings!"
"Well...maybe I don't want to!"
"Do you expect him to know? You know, he's not psychic!"
"Either way, I don't care!"
"Oh please...love comes only once in a long while...in your lifetime...Kai might be taken if you keep lagging..."
"..."
"Well?"
"Yeah...I guess...you're right..."
"Do me a favour and tell him...on Valentine's Day..."
"..."
The blondy gave him puppy eyes.
"Max...no..."
"Come on Tyson...you know you want to..."
"..."
"Please...pretty please..."
"..."
"..."
"No Max...stop that..."
"..."
"I told you! Stop with the puppy eyes!!!"
"..."
The Granger sighed in defeat.
"Okay...Max..."
Chapter 7 Part II: Too Late
There was a knock at the dojo front door, the Hiwatari walked over to it with yet another finished mystery note in his hands. "I've got to stop making gibberish writing and then leaving it somewhere so that Tyson could find it!" Kai thought to himself.
He stuffed it into his pocket.
"But then again...I'm doing it because I want to know...if he loves me back..."
He opened the slide door.
"Hey Kai! How have you been?" said the raven haired chinese teen.
"Ray...you're here..." Kai replied.
"Yeah, I came back to stay...with you and Tyson...how is he?"
"Max came back earlier and dragged him out to the streets at Bay City..."
The chinese blader sighed and shook his head.
"Those two...they definately don't know how to take care of you properly...they could've been more considerate and take you as well..."
"I'm not a child Ray..." Kai retorted as the chinese teen entered the dojo. "You know that..."
"Hm? Wait...you're sounding like the Kai we all knew..."
The Hiwatari raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.
"Maybe it's because you are speaking to him?"
"Oh...so when did you get your memory back?"
"Yesterday...when chibi Max hit my head with a frying pan..."
"Oww...that must have hurt..."
"No kidding..."
"So, does Tyson or Max know about this as well?"
"No...only Max..."
"Why didn't you tell him?"
"It's..."
The Hiwatari became dazed, thinking of an excuse to lie to Ray. "I've confessed to Max...I don't want to spill anymore information about myself to anyone else..." he thought.
"Kai...you like Tyson...do you?" the chinese teen asked.
"..."
He smiled and patted him on the back.
"I understand...you secretly do..."
Kai looked down on the floor and slowly nodded.
"Yeah..."
"So explain to me...how you've been dealing with him..."
"Lately...I've...been...giving him...letters...anonymous...to see...if he finds out...and pretended to still have amnesia and see if...Tyson feels the same..."
"I see..."
"WE'RE BACK!!!" the blondy exclaimed as the two teens returned.
"RAY!!! YOU'RE HERE!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Yep, came back to stay!" Ray added as the navy haired teen gave a high five to him.
"When did you came back?" Max asked.
"At least a few minutes ago...I was talking with Kai."
"Now, we're altogether again!!!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Umm...Tyson..." Kai said.
The Granger turned to the Hiwatari. "Yeah, Kai?"
"I found another note...in the mail..."
"WHAT!?! ANOTHER ONE!?! WHERE IS IT?"
Kai took it out from his pocket and handed it to him. The Granger grabbed it, unfolded the note and read it out loud.
Again as you can see
I am back with another plea
Have you found me out yet?
Here's another clue
According to mythology, there are four sacred guardians:
Tortoise of the North,
Dragon of the East,
Phoenix of the South,
And Tiger of the West.
There are only these choices who I maybe...
Find out yet?
I might not think so...
"What could that mean?!?!" the Granger exclaimed in frustration.
"What's the matter?" Ray lied, pretending he doesn't know what is going on.
"Oh, I've been getting notes from a secret admirer...since yesterday...this is the third note...the mystery person sent me..."
"What clues you already know?"
"The person who loves me is a male...and this...something about mythology..."
After trying to think who it could be, he threw the sheet of paper into the air as he marched out of the dojo.
"Tyson! Where are you going!?!" Ray asked.
"Somewhere to cool off..." he muttered before he left.
"Tyson...is he going to be alright?" Kai asked.
"I'm sure...that was good acting Kai..."
"Whatever..."
"So Ray knows about this as well?" Max asked.
"Yep..." Ray nodded in agreement with a smile. "I'm now caught up with what is going on."
"That's good...hehe..."
"No blackmailing..." Kai retorted.
"Okay...fine Kai..."
"You're right Kai...Tyson definately wouldn't think it would be you..."
"You better give him some sympathy...soon..."
"I will...eventually..."
"Sometimes I can't even tell if we're talking to our captain or not..." Max said.
"You and me both..." Ray agreed. "As long as we're helping our friends, then it doesn't matter...Anyways, Kai you might as well...tell in your next note that you would meet him..."
The Hiwatari was silent for a brief moment.
"Why would I do that?" he asked.
"Because...to find out the truth..." Max said with a smile.
"Hm..."
"Remember...we're only suggesting..."
"It is your choice to do what you want to get Tyson's attention..." Ray added.
The two teens went outside to comfort Tyson.
"I should tell...or else...he might be taken...forever..." Kai thought to himself.
LATER AT NIGHT
Kai finished writing another note and stuffed it into his pocket. He decided to go outside where Tyson was and lie to him again about another mysterious letter that was sent in. When the Hiwatari went outside to join him, he was pulled into a bush where Max and Ray were hiding. "Shh..." the two said.
"What's wrong?" Kai whispered.
"Tyson's with someone..." Max replied back with a soft voice.
"A girl..." Ray added.
The three teens watched the navy haired teen in front of the female.
"Shira...what do you want?" Tyson retorted as he turned away.
"Oh...it's Valentine's Day tomorrow!" she said. "Are you giving me a present?"
"As if..." he said as he turned away, crossed his arms over his chest, and rolled his eyes. (Hmm...wonder why he's doing that...xD CoughKaiimmitationcoughcough)
"Well...I have something to say..."
"And what would that be?" Tyson asked, giving her a stern look.
"I was the one who gave you the anonymous notes!" she exclaimed cheerfully with her arms out.
"HUH?"
"WHAT!?!" the two teens exclaimed in a whisper.
"She's totally stealing!" Max exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Ray agreed. "Just who is she?"
"She's...Tyson's...fiancée..." Kai replied in a low voice.
"What? You know her?" Max asked.
"Yeah...I met her during the time I had amnesia...she never liked having me around Tyson..."
"Oh...but why Tyson has a fiancée?" Ray asked.
"Family misunderstanding..."
"Oh..."
"But that's still not right..." Max said. "Kai should totally be with Tyson not her!!!"
"Tyson obviously doesn't like her..." Ray said.
"Yeah..."
"That can't be true, the second note that is sent to me said that my secret admirer was a male!" Tyson said.
"There's that option that the person lied...just to get you off track..." Shira said as she leaned closer to him. "It is also a practical joke...to mess with your feelings..."
"I-uhh..."
"See? You can't possibly love anyone else...except me..."
"She might be right...it's probably a lie...no one...not even Kai would love me..." Tyson thought to himself. "Fine...I believe you..."
"See? Told you...it does make sense...since...the notes are written in red female like printing..."
"I definately don't write like a girl..." Kai thought as he eye twitched.
"That is definately a lie..." Max said. "I think..."
"Then again...we haven't seen what Kai's writing look like..." Ray said.
The Hiwatari gave them an icy glare causing the both of them to have a chilly feeling up their spines.
"Yeah...maybe we should continue watching..." Max said.
"Yeah...you're right..." Ray replied.
"Yeah...I guess..." Tyson said feeling a bit depressed.
"Something wrong, sweetheart?" the female asked.
"Nothing...it's just nothing..."
She smiled.
"Don't worry...be happy that it's me who wrote everything to you...for tomorrow's special occasion..."
"What occasion?"
"I'm taking you out tomorrow...together somewhere..."
"Oh...that's...nice..."
She cuddled herself as she held Tyson's right arm.
"I'm an idiot..." Tyson thought. "Thinking of such fantasies that Kai was the one who wrote the notes to me...it's only Shira...that's all..."
The two teens both entered the dojo together, leaving the rest of the teens outside.
"Poor Tyson..." Ray said as the three teens came out of their hiding spot.
"Yeah...he appears to be crushed...as if he expected someone else...to be sending him those notes..." Max added. "It might be Kai...tee hee..."
The Hiwatari had his head tilted forward to hide his eyes as his right hand was in his pocket, crumpling the note.
"I give up..." he muttered.
"Kai?" Max asked as the Hiwatari turned to the front gate.
"Don't bother Max..."
"Kai!" Ray exclaimed. "Don't give up!"
"It's no use...I'm only hurting myself..."
The Hiwatari soon disappeared out of the Granger residence.
"Kai...it must be hard on him..." Max said worringly.
"Yeah...let's just hope that things will get better..." Ray added.
Listening to the two teens from the other side of the front gate, the Hiwatari leaned against the hard wall and took out the last note from his pocket. He stared at it for a brief moment and gave out a faint hmph.
"It's over...there's no point of continuing..."
After listening to the other two teens going back inside the dojo, the Hiwatari re-entered.
"If I keep going...I will permanently become weak and soft like all gullible people..."
He walked towards one of the trees.
"I might as well never tell him how much I really feel..."
He placed the note between a few branches and went back inside.
"By the time Tyson finds it...he'll probably be having children with her..."
