{Chapter 4/9}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blushing furiously Kai made his way quickly down the street.

//How the HELL did he work out it was me? And why would Mr. Dickinson say something like that? How would he know how I feel?//

Kai nearly walked into a lamppost, but he didn't notice, he was to busy ranting in his head.

//And why did he get so close to me? He was so close, he could have kis...... AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! DON'T THINK THINGS LIKE THAT!!!!................................Not that I would have minded...........NO!!! Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!!!//

A group of people walking in the opposite direction had to jump out of his way so he wouldn't walk straight into them.

//And why on earth did I pick up those cards? It was my fault they fell out of his pocket, but why did I pick them up? I didn't have to! Tyson probably wouldn't have even expected me to! SO WHY DID I DO IT???//

Kai walked into mailbox, but he didn't really notice and kept on walking.

//Oh god. This isn't going to go away is it? He's going to keep on pressing me until I say it. But I don't want to say it! I can't say it! I can't say that I lo...... LIKE him...............but what if I want to say it...........//

SMACK!

'Ow.'

Kai had just walked into a telephone box.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Max winced.

That had to have hurt.

He was sitting at a table outside a café, and had been watching Kai storm down the street towards him.

He had also seen everything and everyone Kai had walked into, or barely missed.

//At least now he's knocked himself back to reality// he mused, as he watched Kai stagger away from the telephone box.

He winced again as Kai then collided with a lamppost.

//Or maybe not.//

Max sighed, as Kai haphazardly wandered down the street towards their hotel.

//I wonder if this has anything to do with Tyson skipping breakfast?//

As if on cue Max noticed Tyson come walking happily down the street, a lot more with it than Kai had been.

Max stood up and headed over to him, //Well, it can't hurt to ask.//

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson grinned as he walked down the street.

//Kai isn't going to know what hit him.//

Tyson sweatdropped.

//That is, when I figure out what to do.//

'HEY TYSON!!!'

Tyson blinked and turned to the direction that he had heard the voice, 'Oh, hi Max!'

Max smiled and stood infront of him, 'You seem to be in a good mood.'

'I sure am!'

'That's good, but what caused it?'

'Nothing.'

Max smirked and nudged Tyson suggestively, 'It wouldn't have anything to do with Kai would it?'

Tyson blushed, 'What on earth would make you say THAT?'

'The fact that Kai walked down this street just before you did, and he was totally out of it.'

Tyson tried to look innocent, 'Did he?'

'Yes, and don't play dumb with me! You had something to do with it and I know it!'

'Fine!' snapped Tyson, 'I'll tell you, but you can't tell the others, not even Rei.'

'I promise!'

'Well, you know those cards and roses............'

'Yeah.'

'They were from Kai.'

There was a pause before, 'How sweet!!!! I never knew he had it in him!!!'

'Yeah, well, of course he wasn't too thrilled that I found out that it was him.'

Max smiled, 'I'm not surprised, he's not that big on emotional stuff, is he?'

'I guess............'

'So what are you going to do now?'

'Well he practically ran away from me before.........'

'But you were in such a good mood!'

Tyson smiled, 'That's because I know he likes me.'

'Do you like him?'

'..............maybe........'

'MAYBE?'

'Fine I do! Even before he gave me the cards and roses.'

'Awww, 'lil Tyson is all grown up.'

Tyson pouted, 'Don't make fun.'

'Fine, fine, I'll be nice. But seriously, what do you intend to do now? You like him, and you know he likes you, but he's denying it. So what's next?'

'Err........well, I, um.............Don't have a clue.'

Max: --;;; 'Sounds like you know exactly what you have to do.'

'It's not my fault! It all happened so quickly!!!'

'I know, I know...........it sounds like what you need to do is get Kai to admit that he likes you.'

Tyson sighed, 'That's easier said than done.'

'I know that! What you need is a plan!'

'A plan?'

'A plan.'

'.............'

'..............'

'..............'

'..........So this plan.........what is it?'

Max gave Tyson a look, 'I don't know.'

Tyson: --;; 'I see......'

'It doesn't matter. I promise I'll help you get your man!'

Tyson smiled, 'Thanks.'

'Can I PLEASE tell Rei about this? I still think what you two have going on is so cute!'

'NO! If Kai finds out that even you know he'll kill me!'

Max smiled reassuringly, 'Ok, I promise I won't tell. And don't worry Tyson, I'm sure it will all work out. Now, how about you come and have lunch with Rei and I? Or have you forgotten that you skipped breakfast.'

Tyson blushed as his stomach rumbled loudly, 'I think that's a good idea.'
