Title: What Makes You Squirm?

Author: Kirin-chan (or Kushi)

" Alright, so....that's all we could come up with?"

Kenny asked, lowering his eyeglasses and glancing doubtfully at the clipboard in his hands. So far, Takao, Max, Rei and himself had racked their brains, compiling a list of things that might make Kai squirm or blush.

" How many have we gotten?"

Max asked, leaning over Kenny's shoulder and reading the clipboard's contents.

" Two."

Kenny said, setting the board down on the table and crossing his legs.

" We've been at it for an hour!!"

Takao exclaimed, flopping himself down onto the floor. He sighed, putting his arms behind his head.

" Well, what are they?"

Rei picked up the clipboard, seating himself on the loveseat next to Max.

" Who came up with these?"

He asked incrediously, looking between Takao, Kenny and Max.

" I did."

The blonde-haired boy said, smiling before snatching the clipboard away from Rei and reading it himself.

" Compliments and tickling"

They all stared at Max, dumbfounded. Kenny coughed akwardly, attempting to recover the conversation.

" Er...what makes you think those things would make Kai get embarrassed?"

" Well,"

Max said, using his deducting skills as he counted off the reasons.

" Kai is actually pretty modest when it comes to showing-off. I mean...when he BeyBlades he doesn't do it for the crowd, only for himself. And besides...he never shows off his physical abilites. His body, for one thing, is a perfect example."

Takao's mouth hit the floor just as Rei was closing his.

" He actually has a very good point"

Kenny said, utterly surprised as he smiled at Max. Draciel's owner beamed.

" So...I should just tell him how good he looks?"

" Not exactly like that, Takao"

Rei said, sweatdropping. He continued.

" Try a little tact. Small compliments, at how nice he looks, or how well he did something..."

" Or how cute his butt is..."

Takao mumbled, eyes getting a far-off look. He sighed dreamily, smiling. Suddenly, though, his dreamworld came crashing down around him as the clipboard was rudely thrown into his face. He sputtered, looking at Rei.

" Get your head out of the clouds, Takao. If you can't take this seriously then I'm not going to help you."

Takao blinked, eyes earnest and bright.

" But I was being serious."

Rei nerviously glanced at Kenny, who was sporting massive sweatdrops on his head. Max just laughed before jumping off the couch and joining Takao on the floor.

" C'mon, guys! We have to be supportive, no matter how hopeless it looks!"

Max said, rubbing his friend's back.

" Thanks"

Takao muttered, head dropping. Kenny sighed, scooting closer and attempting to cheer Takao up.

" Don't worry, Takao. We'll start first thing in the morning on that 'compliments' thing. In the meanwhile, lets all just kick back and relax, okay?"

Rei almost couldn't believe Kenny was telling them all to kick back and relax. When it came to practice, sometimes Kenny could be as bad as Kai.

" Yeah...just chill. Tomorrow's another day"

Rei smiled, catching Takao's eye and winking. Takao grinned back, feeling relieved.

" Well, I say we should go to bed. I'm beat."

" Me, too."

Kenny and Max said as Rei nodded, following them up the stairs towards their hotel rooms.

" Thinking about Kai always makes my head hurt"

Takao mumbled, causing the others to laugh. Stopping outside Takao's door, Rei slapped him on the back, smiling.

" We'll be in here to get you up at 6:00 in the morning."

" Why so early?!"

Takao yelled, looking utterly mortified at the idea of waking up early. Max interjected, grinning and latching himself onto Rei's arm.

" Because the quicker we get you two together, the quicker you two can-"

Not even wanting to hear that statement finished, Takao tackled Max, taking the unfortunate Rei down as well.

" Ahrg! Guys! Knock it off!"

Rei exclaimed, shoving at the two wrestling.

" Pervert!"

Takao yelled, his cheeks bright red. Rei couldn't tell if it was from Takao's anger or Max's statement...

" You know you want to!"

Max grinned, dodging Takao's fist and rolling into the wall. Meanwhile, Kenny was closing his door, sweatdropping.

" What am I gonna do with those two?"

He received no answer.
