Chapter 4- Getting Together

The next day everyone went down to eat breakfast. Kai even came though he would eat out or not eat at all. They all sat at their usual table. Max and Tyson sat on one side while Kai and Ray sat on the opposite side and Kenny sat at either end.

"Tell us what really happened," asked Tyson as he started to shovel food into his mouth.

Ray started to explain yesterday's events bit by bit. Max and Kenny were hanging onto his every word. Tyson was listening while eating noisily. Kai just sat there slowly eating breakfast.

"Yeah and that's what happened yesterday" concluded Ray who then went back to eating the now soggy cornflakes.

Tyson couldn't hold it in for any longer started to laughing out loud with pre-chewed food in his mouth. Bits of food were now on Tyson's clothes and his part of the table. Max shifted his seat a bit to the left near Kenny. People were looking at the commotion coming from the Bladebreakers table. They were now beginning to get embarrassed.

"What's so damn funny?" asked a very annoyed Kai.

"It wasn't our birthdays yesterday at all" Tyson blurted out. Hearing that Ray dropped his spoon into the bowl and looked at Tyson. "I can't believe you played along with it," laughed Tyson.

Ray and Kai looked at each other somewhat confused so Max filled them in. They had noticed that Ray and Kai had been avoiding each other and decided to do something. He explained that it was all just a simple plan to get the together. The shopkeeper was a friend of Max's dad and agreed to help him carry out the plan. He made sure that there was only one special teddy bear on the shelf. Everything went plan until the robbers came.

Ray stared blankly at Max mouth and eyes wide open.

"Ehh sorry for all the trouble" Max apologised looking at Ray then Kai.

"Sorry!" Kai shot up and slammed him hands on the table. "We nearly get killed just to get a stupid toy," Kai yelled angrily.

"Hey you should be thankful I saved your lives," added Tyson who still ate.

"Well it was the only way we could get you to see each other" Max said in a shaky voice. He noticed that Kai had clenched his fists and Ray closed his eyes.

Kai who still stood shot a death glare at Max then Tyson. Max sunk back into his chair and Tyson seemed oblivious to what was going on concentrating on eating. Kenny sat back and enjoyed the show but didn't show it of course. He didn't want to bear the wrath of Ray and especially Kai.

Ray who started to get angry looked at Kai who turned his head to meet his eyes. They looked at each other and a small grin crept onto their faces. Ray got up and started to walk to Max while Kai walked towards Tyson. Both boys noticed this and looked at each other and gulped. Max and Tyson shot up and bolted for the door. Kai and Ray in hot pursuit. " Come back here!" yelled Kai. "Your only making it worse" shouted Ray as he turned around the corner.

Kenny still sitting at the table sighed. He picked up the newspaper and opened it not noticing the front. Kai and Ray had made it onto the front page. Underneath the photo printed in bold letters was 'heroes'.



Kai and Ray spent the rest of the day chasing Tyson and Max around the hotel, across the city and finally the nearby park. By the time they reached got there they were completely exhausted. Kai and Ray forgave Tyson and Max much to their relief. "It was fun playing chasing games," thought Kai.

"I'd die for a drink of water," Tyson said breathlessly.

"That can be arranged" Kai grinned. Not realising what he said was more of a joke then threat. But it Tyson took it as one and decided not to annoy him for now.

Max and Tyson who were up ahead chattered while Ray and Kai walked silently behind them.

"I am so tired" Max groaned.

"Let's just go back to the hotel it's getting late anyway", suggested Tyson.

"Hey guys wait up!" yelled Ray who had caught up to them. Kai followed and stood beside Ray.

"Here's your birthday presents" Ray said as he pulled a couple of things out of his pocket.

Ray handed them their gift. "Cool beyblades, but it's not our birthdays" Max said suspiciously.

"Just a gift to thank you for saving our lives" smiled Ray.

Max and Tyson both noticed a small button and pushed it. "Ahh it's lip gloss" said Tyson nearly dropping it.

"Well my lips are a bit dry" chuckled Max. The others laughed but Kai started to walk away.

"Well we're going back to the hotel" Tyson grabbed Max's arm and pulled him along. Max looked at Tyson confused who winked. Now Max got the message and began to run with him.

Ray stared at the two running off into the distance he turned around to see Kai walking further away from him. He ran to Kai and slowed down to walk at his side. "Wanna sit down?" Ray asked.

"Sure" replied Kai to Ray's surprise. They sat down at a nearby bench.

"I need to talk to you" said Kai and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry about the time I refused to battle you" " I didn't want to because if you won it would make me look like a loser and weak. If I won you would feel hurt and defeated" Not wanting to look into the orange orbs Kai looked away.

Ray placed his hand gently onto Kai's cheek. Kai tilted his head into the warm hand which felt good. Then he placed his right hand onto the hand on his cheek holding it there. After a few seconds Kai took Ray's hand away from his cheek and held it between his hands. Ray flushed under Kai's gaze.

"If you would have died, I wouldn't have been able to say that I love you" tears began to fall down Kai's face. Ray with his free hand wiped away the last remaining tears. "You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that," whispered Ray as he leaned in.

Soon their lips me in a sweet blissful kiss. Both not wanting to part remained until they could no longer and broke for air. They looked into each other's eyes both growing redder in the cheeks. Kai reached into his bulky pocket and pulled out the teddy bear. "Take this as a small token of my love" smiled Kai. "Thank you" Ray kissed Kai on the cheek.

Nearby two people were watching the couple from behind a tree. "Woo hoo they finally got together!" yelled Tyson. "Shh" Max covered Tyson's mouth with his hand. "Don't want them to hear you," whispered Max. Tyson said something but it was muffled by Max's hand.

"I knew that both of you would be here" Kenny said flatly. "Leave them alone they need time to themselves.

"Your right let's go back top the hotel," agreed Max.

"Your coming with us" said Max as he and Kenny dragged Tyson along.

"Alright I'm coming" Tyson said stumbling along. "I am so hungry need food," Tyson groaned and his stomach rumbled loudly. The three boys ran back to the hotel.

Meanwhile Kai and Ray watched the beautiful sunset together. The teddy bear sat in the middle on their laps.

The End!





Authors Note: My second Beyblade fanfic, which I think, is an improvement. So what did you think of it? I've already started on another Beyblade fanfic but this hasn't got any romance, which should be interesting. I'll write other anime fanfics not just Beyblade ones. Well happy reading! ^^
