Chapter four

Okay, here's chapter four! If I put some questions here, will anyone read them? Right.. I'm confused.. What does XD stand for? What's the difference between shounen-ai and yaoi? And what's the difference between lemon and lime? Please help lol

KawaiiAngel - I'm glad you thought it was funny, a bit of a change of direction in this chapter.. more daring and more action.. sort of lol

Angel of Darkness - I would try to convert you, but I know the hold the dark side of Kai/Tyson is strong so it'd be useless. Instead, I've humoured you in this chapter. ^_~ I'm glad you keep reading even though you don't like Kai/Ray ^-^

LOL! - Thanks! I will!

Clío - Thanks, it's nice to know people appreciate my scribbles ^-^ I hope this chapter's alright..

V-Amy - Yeah, it did seem a little surreal that Kai lost, that's why I had to make out that Ray had redone his blade.. after all we all know who the best blader is! And poor Ray? Don't you care about poor ickle Kai? *sniff*

Sailor Gaia - Don't fall off your chair, it might hurt! Or if you have to, at least make sure there are some cushions underneath.. And you flatter too much!! But flattery will get you everywhere, so you get the dedication ^-^

Bester - Reactions in this chapter! Kai? Naughty? And I don't think Ray has a dirty mind, I don't think he has much control over his mind!! Or other parts of him for that matter ^_~

Fiery-chan - Yay! More Mary Poppins fans! And yes, it's a bit like Jackass.. people send in home videos of stupid things they've filmed other people doing. It's quite funny ^-^ I don't actually know why Ray has those things in his closet.. maybe they're Mariah's! And there's an idea.. as soon as I post this I'm going to draw that! Who wouldn't enjoy a Kai striptease? ^_~

SilverDeathscythe - Goody goody, Kai/Rei fans are the best! Yep, more Kai/Rei here.. And thanks for the anti-flamer protection.. I've never had a flame though it could be fun.. lol

Igatona- Thanks, I try to be original.. Not sure if it works or not! And pardon me for being ignorant but what's a corndog? I'm english and I don't know the word.. Sounds interesting though

Jade-tiger - Yeah, I'm a big pigtail fan. They're so useful! Next chapter up now, with Kai/Ray

This chapter is dedicated to Sailor Gaia!

The door opened, and Kai was met by three expectant gazes from the floor in the training room. For a moment, nobody said anything, then Tyson let out a loud whoop and collapsed backwards on the floor, his legs kicking in the air like a dying insect. Max soon joined him, while Kenny didn't seem to be able to do anything but gape.

"Kai?" he murmured in disbelief, whilst Dizzy complained miserably about the pains of being stuck inside a lap top and not able to see what was going on. Kai and Ray settled on the floor, Kai being careful to keep his legs closed, to await the recovery of their team-mates. Kai leaned towards Ray, and muttered quietly in his ear.

"I don't see what all the fuss is about!" Ray grinned, his smile widening when Kai finished the sentence with a wink. It wasn't so much the statement as how different Kai was acting. Ray liked it.

Suddenly, a blinding flash made them both start, and, turning round, they saw Kenny brandishing a digital camera with a grin.

"Well, I couldn't just let Dizzy feel left out could I?" he said with a shrug, turning back to his laptop and plugging the camera in. Kai groaned.

"Just as long as nobody else sees.." he growled threateningly, narrowing his eyes in the general direction of the chief. Tyson sat up, wiping his eyes.

"How long are you planning to stay in that outfit, Kai?" he asked, holding his sides where they hurt from too much laughter.

"Oh, a little while at least," Kai replied dismissively. "After all, it is such a hassle to get in and out of. I had to get some help," he added, with a sideways glance at Ray, who flushed slightly and looked away, remembering all too well the scene only moments before. More than anything, he was embarrassed at his reaction to Kai's little tricks. Reddening more, he changed the subject.

"Have you two battled yet?" he addressed Tyson and Max. A grin broke out on Max's face.

"Yeah!" he laughed, sticking his tongue out at Tyson who, having seen what had happened to Kai, was sincerely wishing he had won his battle. "And I am going to ask him to kiss anyone in this room, for half a minute!" Seeing the inquisitive expressions all over the room, he realised what they must think his motive was.

"Anyone except me, I mean!" he added hurriedly. The others still looked unconvinced, and Tyson didn't look at all happy. He studied his three options. Eventually, he came to a decision.

"All right," he sighed. "I'll kiss Kai, becausehelooksmostlikeagirlatthemoment!" he finished in one breath, hoping to get the point across that he didn't like Kai that way at all. Kai looked even less enthusiastic about this than Tyson.

"Is there some kind of crazy plot here to make me look as stupid as possible!" he demanded, glaring at everyone in the room. "And don't even think about it!" he added, narrowing his eyes at Kenny who was trying to look innocent with his digital camera behind his back. Ray, much to Kai's relief, reached over and grabbed it. Kai flashed him an 'I-could-ruin-your- reputation-if-you-even-think-about-it' look just in case, but Ray just smiled and nodded. Kai didn't know if that was a good or a bad sign. Sighing, he turned back to Tyson, who was now sitting just in front of him looking as enthusiastic as if he had just been told he was fasting for a month.

"Ready?" asked Max, holding his wrist out in front of him and ready to press 'go' on his stopwatch. Kai humphed.

"Go!" he yelled, pressing the button and watching the two eagerly. Both boys leaned forward slowly, their eyes closed. Their lips met and both flinched, almost drawing back, but forcing themselves to stay touching. Hesitantly, Tyson put an arm around Kai's neck and pulled them closer together. Kai's brow knitted, but he didn't pull away. Unexpectedly soon, an irritating beeping noise sounded, signalling the end of the time, and both boys sprang backwards and away from each other, Tyson landing on his back on the floor and Kai landing in Ray's lap. This really is not my day! thought Ray, as he tried to remove Kai's head from his lap as quickly as possible. Looking up, he saw Tyson wiping his mouth on the back of his hand with an expression of disgust on his face. Max was giggling gleefully, and Kenny was gazing with a sorrowful expression at the camera that Ray still held in his hand.

"I think it's time to break for lunch!" announced Kai, who looked as if nothing had happened. Then, as if suddenly remembering his outfit, he looked down at himself. "I'm going to get changed. I'll meet you in a minute." The three smallest nodded and ran away to find some food. Ray, however, followed Kai back to his bedroom. Kai tried the handle, turning around when it wouldn't open to find Ray dangling a key from his hand. Pushing Kai out of the way and almost up-ending him, he unlocked the door and ushered his friend in. He shut the door behind them and collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"And I thought I gave you a bad deal!" he laughed, turning to grin at Kai, who rolled his eyes and started to undo his plaits.

"Don't start!" he growled, wincing as his hair got tangled in the elastic bands. Ray made a disapproving sound and shook his head.

"Silly boy! You should never use elastic bands to tie up your hair! It ruins it and gets it all tangled up!" Sighing, he beckoned Kai over. With a growl of "Now he tells me!" Kai sat down on the bed in front of him, and Ray moved so Kai was between his legs. Almost howling with frustration at his stupidity in putting himself so close to Kai again when he knew the effect it had on him, he started to untangle the matted mess of hair caught up in Kai's bands. More than once, Kai yelped and Ray had to calm him down with soothing noises and stroking. Finally, Ray ran a brush through it and with one last pat, proclaimed it finished.

"Well, at least I've learned my lesson!" Kai smiled weakly. "Thanks." As Ray fell backwards again, Kai stood up and removing his clothes again. Ray tried to concentrate on the cracks on the ceiling, but as much as he tried to resist he wanted to see Kai getting changed again. He sat up abruptly.

"Are you.." he started, trailing off when he saw Kai coming out of the bathroom, wearing just his trousers but with water running down his face. Some of his hair was also damp and clinging to his cheeks and forehead. The water was dripping down his chest and had almost reached his trousers. Without thinking, Ray jumped up and wiped the water off Kai's chest with his hand. Kai looked surprised.

"Erm, thanks..?" he said quizzically, raising an eyebrow at Ray.

"It was dripping.." Ray stuttered, "It would have gone on your trousers." Kai smirked and grabbed a tight hold on Ray's wrists, which were flapping around in distress somewhere around his chest height. Ray looked shocked, and opened his mouth to question, as Kai leaned forwards and crushed their lips together.

Yes, I know it looks like there was Kai/Tyson in this.. but there wasn't really, it was more Max's warped little mind, done to keep the Kai/Tyson fans from murdering me. Fear not, there shall be no more! Kai/Ray from now on.. Review please? And answers to my questions at the top would be appreciated ^-^
