A/N: This one takes place during episode 24 in G-Revolution, right before Daichi's match with Rick.


When Tala returned to his seat to watch the next match, Bryan had asked him where he'd been. After a few evasive answers, the questions stopped, and they fell silent. The crowd around them was stoked for the next match, pitting Daichi against Rick. There were only five more minutes until the match was to start, and Tala only hoped that Daichi could remember their deal longer than that. Otherwise, he'd never get even with the kid.

"So, where were you then?" Kai asked when Bryan and Spencer weren't paying attention.

"I already told you, I was in the bathroom."

"Took you long enough."

"Got caught up."

"Looking for someone?"

Tala grew flustered and Kai smirked. Yeah, that was the ticket.

"That's none of your business."

"I beat him without even trying during the preliminary rounds."

"Show-off," Tala grumbled.

Kai smirked. Daichi was definitely on his mind. After all, he wouldn't have known who he was talking about otherwise.
