*Quickly posts story before fanfiction.net goes down again* Phew! *wipes
sweat with cold rag* ^^; I've been trying the last three days ^^; so I
basically kept changing it!
Note to anyone who reviews: First of all I love you ^_~ but that wasn't my original note, lol. Whenever you leave a review for anyone, don't use . The triangle brackets cut of the reviews, and then people like myself and left to wonder what you were going to say *sniff* I'm okay! But I got about three in reviews, so they all got cut off *snaps fingers*.
Anyways, hey all! Guess what?! *whispers* It's March break. YEAH!!!!!! *dances* One week off! And surprisingly, NO homework! *Dances some more* Who knows, the next chapter might get out on time ^^;
Oh! And MEGA MEGA THANKS to Spirit of Shadow!!! ^_~ She told me I was at a stalemate, as in the story kinda just stopped story wise (she told me nicely of course) and I swear to god I didn't realize! So THANKS SO MUCH!!!!! I sure it must have taken a lot of guts since you didn't know how I'd react and I respect that. So thank you, thank you, and thank you! The reason it was at a stalemate, I think was because I was trying to avoid all the relationship problems (dunno why), but after writing it...it wasn't too bad. ^^ Opps! I hinted at the chapter ^^; Ah well!
Anyways, here is the latest chapter! With March break now, who knows! Maybe I might finish writing it out...not likely, but it's a possibility ^^;

"Speaking"

~ Chapter 8: Problems ~
After an hour of trying to get Tyson to leave the barbeque, the Bladebreakers once again ran in to the All-Starz.
"HEY GUYS!!!" Tyson yelled.
"Oh hey! You guys leaving now?" Emily asked.
"Uh huh! I think if we stay any longer we'll be kicked off the premises with all the food Tyson was planning on devouring," Max laughed.
"Whatever!" Tyson grunted, and then realized something. "Say, why are you guys just standing around?" he asked.
"Our ride was suppose to pick us up half an hour ago but hasn't appeared," Eddy said looking for the bus that was to pick them up.
"Oh! Well then why don't you come back with us and call them up?" Tyson offered. They all nodded their thanks and headed back to Sora's.
Upon entering Michael instantly headed for the phone to call up Director Judy and Sora went upstairs to observe the damage done to the bed as the others sat in the living room talking.
"So why were you guys put in jail?" Steve asked curiously looking at Max and Tyson.
"I was put in by Kai cause he's a big meany!" Tyson said glaring at Kai who had a smug grin on.
"And I was because I kinda got Sora angry at me," Max laughed nervously.
"What'd you do?"
"It's destroyed, demolish, out of commission," Sora sulked entering to the living room and sat on the floor next to the chair Kai was sitting in.
"What is?"
"The bed HE broke!" Sora said raising a finger to Max.
"Oh yeah! Where am I supposed to sleep on now?" Tyson pondered.
"You can take the floor," Kai offered.
"You can take the floor," Tyson mimicked with a sour look.
"Well it seems that the bus broke down on the way back to the BBA Research Facility so we're kinda stuck," Michael said entering the room.
"So where do we go?" Emily asked.
"You could stay here," Sora offered. She wasn't too keen on the idea of having Michael here, but she couldn't abandon the others.
"Wow really? Thanks!" Eddy said.
"Yeah, we owe you guys," Steve added.
"So, what do we do?!" Tyson said looking around for something to do with the others.
"I have no idea," Kenny shrugged looking around as well and then noticed Tyson leaving. "Tyson? Where are you going?"
"Come on Chief! You know I can't eat on an empty stomach!"
"Didn't he just eat everything at the barbeque?" Michael asked.
"Yeah. But he won't be satisfied until he eats us out of house and home too," Max replied.
* * *
"Ohhhh, this looks good!" Tyson said removing a container from the fridge and popping it in the microwave. He then turned around and went back to the fridge to get something to drink.
*sniff-sniff*
"What's that smell?" Tyson asked as he kept sniffing and then noticed the smoke. "I may be wrong but this is NOT good!" He cried as he ran to the microwave.
* * *
"So then that's how we'll do it. Sora and Emily can share a room, Michael and I can split one, Steve and Chief, Ray and Eddy, and...and...what's that smell?" Max asked.
"It smells like something's..."
"BURNING!!!" Everyone yelled as they saw black smoke coming from the kitchen.
They all ran in to the kitchen to see Tyson hovering over the microwave blowing. Ray quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed the microwave as Kai grabbed the oven mitts and pulled the plug out of the wall.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kenny yelled.
"Well, first I was making something to eat," Tyson tried to explain, "and then the smoke started so I tried to blow it out!"
"Tyson?! You can't stop a fire my blowing on it!!!" Kenny said in disbelief of hearing this.
"Psh! Someone's never had a birthday cake!"
"Tyson! You're hopeless!" Kenny groaned.
Kai opened the microwave and removed a melted plastic container with the oven mitts.
"What *was* it?" Max asked trying to peer through the deformed container.
"My dinner," Tyson sighed. "Oh well! Looks like we're ordering pizza," He cheered walking out of the kitchen.
"He has no conscience, does he?" Eddy asked looking at where the boy who almost burned the house down stood.
"Doesn't look it," Ray sighed.
* * *
"Ah man! That was good!" Tyson said collapsed on the couch. "I am sooooo full!" He exclaimed.
"And it's about time too!" Kai snorted. "You ate three pizzas!"
"Really? Only three?" Tyson asked surprised.
"Yeah, only three imagine that! You must be on a diet!" Max teased.
"Hey! I'm a growing boy! I need my nutrients!"
"Tyson! I don't think pizza is considered in a proper diet," Emily laughed.
"Why not?! Its crust is bread; so grain, and the pepperoni; meat. Then there was the cheese; that's dairy. The green pepper and mushrooms are my vegetables. I think it suits a nutrition plan just fine thank you very much!"
"You've given that a lot of thought haven't you?" Eddy laughed.
"Tyson, you'll never change! Anyways, I'm going to bed. Good night all!" Sora said leaving the room.
"Wait up! I'll come too," Emily called out after. "Night everyone."
"You know, sleeping sounds like a good plan," Max yawned.
"I'm game," Steve stretched.
Everyone gave their approval as they headed to the rooms that they had decided on. Much to Kai's protest, he was left with Tyson.
"I swear Tyson! One snore. Just ONE SNORE then your out. O-U-T!!!" Kai warned.
- Sora and Emily -
"Thanks for letting us stay!" Emily said brushing out her hair.
"No problem!" Sora yawned from under the covers already. "Oh yeah! I've been meaning to ask you...when are you going to tell Max?" Sora grinned.
"Wh-what are you talking about? Tell him what?" Emily said turning a nice shade of red.
"Do we have to go threw this again?" Sora laughed seeing the crimson streak on Emily.
- Tyson and Kai -
"Stop hogging the blanket Tyson!" Kai roared pulling the blankets toward him.
"I am NOT!" Tyson roared back pulling the blanket towards him.
"Let go!" Kai said pulling again.
"I'll freeze!" Tyson said pulling again as well.
"I don't care!"
"I do!"
*RIP*
"Uh oh!"
- Max and Michael -
"Hey Max! I got a question for you!" Michael said.
"What's that?" Max said getting comfortable under the blankets.
"What do you think of Emily?"
Max was at this point very grateful the lights were out, as he turned red.
"She's a very nice girl," Max said trying to keep his voice in check.
"Hehehe, sure," Michael laughed. "So when you gonna tell her your feelings?"
"W-why would I tell her she's nice? I'm sure she knows that," Max said with a little bit of a shaky voice.
- Sora and Emily -
"I can't tell him! He's my boss' son. Not to mention on the opposing team," Emily sighed.
"Hmmm, kinda like 'Romeo and Juliet'. Two lovers, two sworn rivaling families, or in this case, teams. You should admit your feelings the way Romeo did to Juliet."
"And that would be?"
"Just say it. It worked out for them!"
"But both Romeo and Juilet died," Emily added.
"... Okay bad analogy, but stop being such a downer," Sora pouted as they laughed.
- Tyson and Kai -
"You stay on your side of the bed, and I'll stay on mine!" Kai scolded as he had gotten two new blankets from the closet, giving one to Tyson and keeping one for himself.
"Yeah, yeah!" Tyson said rolling over. "Night."
"Hm."
- Max and Michael -
"Okay! Okay, maybe I do like her a little," Max finally admitted.
"I knew it!" Michael grinned. "So how come you didn't say anything?"
"Are you crazy! I can't do that! What if she... hates me?"
"I doubt that," Michael whispered.
"What?"
"Nothing! Night!" Michael grinned.
Max lay there thinking. /Should I tell her? Maybe I should ask her out instead. You know to get to know her better. And what did Michael mean by 'I doubt that'? Ugh, I'm too tired, / he sighed. "Night"
- Kai and Tyson -
*Snore*
Kai lay in the bed glaring at the ceiling. He would have glared at Tyson, but he already tired that.
*Snore*
/I'm going to kill him! / Kai thought repetitively.
*Snore*
/I told him *not* to snore...but he *is* snoring. /
*Snore*
/I can't be held for my actions if he continues this. /
- Sora and Emily -
"Hey are you guys going to the music festival?"
"Music festival?" Sora repeated interested.
"Yeah! It's-" Emily paused to think of when it was. "-Two days after our match. It's located downtown somewhere."
"I don't know. I didn't even know about it, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I should tell the others."
"I'm sure Kai will agree! Eh?" Emily giggled.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"Oh I know you got a thing for him!" She grinned.
"Yes but you can't blackmail me cause I already told him," Sora laughed.
"Really?" Emily asked surprised.
"Uh huh!" Sora smiled remembering. "We were on a plane. I was heading back home after the last tournament, before the others because a lot of stuff had happened. My grandfather died, and I told Kai how I felt, but he didn't reply. So there I was sitting on the plane when all of a sudden I noticed a note and necklace beside me." Sora said taking the necklace out from under her shirt revealing the silver phoenix. "The note said 'Come find me.' I remember how I started looking around. I knew it was Kai but I couldn't see him. Eventually I found him at the front of the plane and he kissed me, my first kiss," Sora explained smiling and blushing from the memory. "A day I'll never forget."
- Tyson and Kai -
*Snore*
/He's a bloody earthquake! Literally! His snores are shaking the bed!!! / Kai growled as he moved, purposely hitting Tyson in the process.
Tyson started routing about a little then and it seemed that his snoring had stopped.
/Ahhhhh, finally! / Kai smiled and closed his eyes peacefully.
Tyson then rolled over, his mouth directly by Kai's ear.
*SNORE*
"ARG!!! I can't take it ANYMORE!!!" Kai yelled as he grabbed his pillow and slammed it over Tyson's face.
Tyson woke up freighted as he looked around still dazed but noticed it was still night.
"What's going o-mphf!!!" he was cut off with another smack of the pillow and rolled of the bed. "OWWW!!! KAI!!!" Tyson complained holding his head on the floor.
"OUT!!!" Kai yelled.
"But-" He stopped as he saw Kai raise his pillow over his head again and instantly hightailed it out of the room shutting the door behind him as there was a bang behind it, obviously the pillow hitting the door.
* * *
"Oh man! What are all the noises about?" Eddy complained groggily.
"Tyson and Kai probably," Ray sighed. "KAI BE NICE!!!!" He yelled, and a slight grunt was heard behind the wall.
* * *
The next morning was a gloomy day; no sunshine was able to peek through the clouds. It looked like there was going to be a lot of rain.
Sora woke up and looked around. Emily still seemed to be sleeping soundly so she carefully got out of the bed as to not wake her, and then changed in the bathroom. After she was done she headed down. On the way downstairs a sound started getting louder and louder.
"What on earth?" She asked peering in to the living room where the sound was coming from. She started laughing as she saw Tyson. He was on the floor with his feet on the couch. The blanket was half way across the floor, and he was chewing on the pillow. "Kai and him must have not gotten along too well," she giggled. Then something else caught her attention; a smell. Someone was up and cooking something. She headed to the kitchen to find Michael.
"Good morning!" He chirped.
"Morning. What are you doing up so early?" Sora asked.
"Making breakfast for you guys. We owe you for letting us spend the night," he said turning the sausages.
"Okay. But you didn't have too."
"I know! But I wanted too."
* * *
Kai started to wake up as he looked around groggily. He was still tired because of Tyson from last night, but it was already seven so he got up and dressed.
* * *
"Do you like it?" Michael asked staring at Sora from the stove.
"Yeah, it's good," Sora said taking another forkful of her scrambled eggs.
"I'm glad you like it!" He smiled as he took up a plate for himself and sat next to Sora. "Oh! Your out of orange juice," he said taking the glass and went to the fridge to fill it up for her.
/He's really nice! That kiss must have just been for politeness or something. I should be a little nicer, / she thought, remembering how she would try to avoid conversation by giving him simply blunt answers.
"Here you go!" he said laying the glass down.
"Thanks!" Sora smiled.
"Your very welcome," Michael smiled back.
* * *
"Stupid Tyson!" Kai yawned, "He'll pay during our next training session for keeping me awake."
* * *
"Wow! I slept like a log!" Emily stretched and noticed Sora gone. "Guess she's a morning person," she said getting up to change.
* * *
"That was good thanks," Sora said taking their dishes and placed them in the sink where she turned the water on and added the dish soap to wash them.
"Oh I'll do those!" Michael said jumping up.
"No, you made breakfast so I'll do the dishes," she said as she started scrubbing the plates.
Michael smiled and placed another kiss on her cheek.
* * *
Kai walked down the stairs to hear Tyson again.
"Grrrr, same sound as last night!" Kai yawned again. Hearing water running in the kitchen he decided to investigate, but wish he didn't, for what he saw was Michael kissing Sora. To hurt to see it was a peck, his eyes grew as he just stood there for what seemed like forever to him. He tore his gaze away and briskly walked in the opposite direction and out the front door.
/I didn't see that. I didn't see that, / he repeated trying to calm himself, not even noticing that he almost ran someone down.
* * *
"Hey Kai!" Emily smiled, but frowned when he nearly killed her as he past her by, seeming very pissed. "What got his knickers in a twist?"
* * *
"Stop!" Sora demanded shaking her head, and Michael jumped back a little surprised. She wasn't going to have it happen again, she loved Kai.
"What?"
"Don't!" Sora said laying the plate she was cleaning down and stepping away from him.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked still having no idea about what all this was about. He decided that he should try and comfort her, so he walked over and hugged her.
*SMACK*
"STOP!" Sora yelled.
"What's going on?" Emily said entering the kitchen seeing the slap. Then it hit her; she then knew what Kai was so angry about. "Oh no!" she said rubbing her temples.
"What was that for?" Michael asked hurt both mentally and physically as he held his cheek, which was clearly red.
"Sora, go after Kai! He saw whatever it was that happen!" Emily said quickly. Sora eyes grew and her heart broke.
"Damn!" she hissed as she started running out of the kitchen and out of the house.
"What's up Em?" Michael asked still having no clue.
"YOU...YOU...SKIRT CHASER!!!!!" Emily yelled. "Her and Kai are together, as in a COUPLE. Or at least *were*! I have no idea what YOU did, but I have a feeling that YOU were hitting on her, the way YOU always hit on girls," Emily roared.
"I...I d-didn't know," Michael said in a whisper.
"ARG!!!" Emily yelled frustrated. "YOU NEVER WAIT!!! DO YOU?!?!"
* * *
Kai found himself in a park after walking for god knows how long. He now sat on the bench looking at the silver wolf charm necklace.
/Hm. Should have known. Psh! Whatever. She only made me weak. That's all. I was nothing more then a toy. Grandpa was right. / He growled placing the necklace down on the bench. /Grandpa was right about everything. / He said standing swiftly and then headed to the nearby beystadium surrounded by bladers. His eye had a look that anyone could see showed that he didn't cared for anything, nor anyone. /It's time to follow my destiny and become myself again. To become the real Kai! / he thought full of confidence.
* * *
"Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!!" Sora yelled at herself as she ran in search of Kai. And few people she ran in to said that they saw the boy heading this way and that. She followed every direction and found herself in a park where she collapsed on a bench losing hope fast.
"Kai where are you?" she asked no one in particular as it started to rain.
"Even the weather is against me," she sighed and then felt something poking her in the leg. Upon looking she found a necklace with a silver wolf on it, her necklace, her gift to Kai. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't, if Kai was here, he could still be nearby. She looked around and saw a few kids running away from a beystadium to get out of the rain.
"Excuse me!" Sora yelled running up to them. "Did you see a boy with two pairs of triangles on either side of his face. He's wearing a white scarf, and -"
"Yeah we saw him. He's an awesome blader. He took on my brother and I, and creamed us! It was brutal," one boy said holding his arm over his head as if to protect himself from the rain.
"Yeah we didn't stand a chance," the brother added.
"Do you know where he went?"
"That way!" The two boys pointed. Sora bowed her thanks and then took off in the pointed direction.
* * *
Many hours later Sora appeared home soaking wet. She couldn't find Kai anywhere, only heard people say, "Yeah, I saw him. He went that way," she only hoped that he had gone home. She quietly searched the house and found the others were asleep, but no Kai. She finally sat on the couch after drying herself out with a towel and looked at the time, it was eleven thirty.
"Kai, where are you?"
She went to the kitchen to get a drink and found a note.
"Dear Kai and Sora, we have no idea where you are, but dinner's in the blue container in the fridge. It's all I managed to salvage from Tyson at dinner. We're all tired so we're going to hit the hay. See you in the morning.
Kenny"
At least that's what it originally said, the part that said "It's all I managed to salvage from Tyson at dinner." was scratched out and replaced by, "Tyson saved all of it for you."
Sora smirked, and went to the fridge and got her drink and returned to the living room with it, hoping Kai would get home soon.
"What are you doing up?" Asked a voice. Sora turned around to see Tyson.
"Waiting for Kai," she replied, "You?" But the answer was not needed as Tyson's stomach growled.
"Be right back!" he laughed leaving.
Sora turned to the window again, and thought she saw a shadow. Then there was a sound at the door; the sound of the doorknob turning. She quickly leapt to her feet and headed to the door.
"Kai?" she asked quietly. The shadow froze but didn't reply. Instead he took of his shoes and headed upstairs. "Kai!" Sora repeated.
"I'm tired. Goodnight," he said coldly and left. Sora looked hurt and nodded.
"Night," she whispered.
* * *
Tyson was in the kitchen looking for something to eat and came upon the leftovers. He looked at the note that he had adjusted earlier to say he saved it. He started thinking that maybe he should leave it, but his stomach growled in protest, so Tyson did the only thing he could think off; he ate it.
"Ahhhhh! Much better!" he said smacking his stomach when he heard voices. He peered around the corner to hear Kai say, "I'm tired. Goodnight," and to hear Sora's heartbroken "Night."
/What's up with Mr. Sourpants? /
* * *
*sniff-sniff* To let y'all know, I got a *wee* bit of inspiration! GO ME! Don't you just love old music files ^^ *pets the computer* Don't worry, I'll be okay! It's the excitement of March break.

nObOdY: The whole cage thing I used really did happen before, lol. I'm serious. There was this celebration going on and they had that whole thing there to raise money for the fire department. It was a few years ago, but I was told that they spent the whole day chasing down this one guy who kept running away for the hell of it, lol. He racked up a lot of money because everyone wanted him in jail but he kept on the run ^^
Leina: Cheater! Lol, I should wait to see your next update then post this, then demand the update, lol. And yeah, my English teacher is weird Oo *sigh* I still have that assignment to do...*write next chapter for FSII* ^^;

DestinyBabee: As I said to nObOdY the jail thing is true, lol. Read it if your interested (4th one down).
Lady Sapphire: You think it's unjust charity, lol. Meh, life's tough, lol. Especially if you're a Beyblade character under my control, mwahahaha! ^^; LOL! You won't your bro in for twenty hours? The poor guy will be sore when he gets out...if he gets out, lol, I can see you there with another twenty from *his* wallet, you know the one you stole so he couldn't pay his way out ^^ About the girl going after Kai...I think I'm not going to do that now. Too much work, and with my un-working brain, another OC wouldn't help! I'm still pondering though, but I think I'll just make him an insensitive jerk for a while, yep yep!

Fluffychans: Hehe, *feels proud* Glad you like it!
Reika Zelon: Hello! Ohhhh, another one that reads *is on top of the world* Thanks for letting me know. Every time I see a review from a new user I'm like "DUDE!!! YES!!! Someone else likes it!!!" ^^ Seriously! Well actually...I'm like that with any review I get ^^
twilight knight: Hehe, trouble-maker Tyson! That he certainly is! I've been very lucky in the dental department *smiles pearly whites* I never had a cavity, nor do I want one from all the stories of pain I hear off *shudders*. I just got to find a way to work the dental thing in. ^^ Shouldn't be too hard though, I mean, it's Tyson ^^
Lilli: You want a copy of the paper huh? I think Tyson might have burned them all, lol. I know I would ^^ YEAH! March Break! *dances*
Nightswift: Hehe! I just remembered your e-mail! And, lol, your not the only one who you wanted your bro in jail. Another person said the same. They offered twenty dollars, lol. Arg! I know, I'm useless at writing romance, but I'm planning something now! Now that I have time, I thought of a better way for them to express the "I love you"s ^^ OH! And you should somewhat pleased with this. Michael has been shot down! You'll read more about his feelings to the whole thing later! Lol! Long live S/K!!!
It's always taking me longer and longer to write the replies...but that's a GOOD thing! ^^ Keep 'em comin! I love reading them!
Note to anyone who reviews: First of all I love you ^_~ but that wasn't my original note, lol. Whenever you leave a review for anyone, don't use . The triangle brackets cut of the reviews, and then people like myself and left to wonder what you were going to say *sniff* I'm okay! But I got about three in reviews, so they all got cut off *snaps fingers*.
Anyways, hey all! Guess what?! *whispers* It's March break. YEAH!!!!!! *dances* One week off! And surprisingly, NO homework! *Dances some more* Who knows, the next chapter might get out on time ^^;
Oh! And MEGA MEGA THANKS to Spirit of Shadow!!! ^_~ She told me I was at a stalemate, as in the story kinda just stopped story wise (she told me nicely of course) and I swear to god I didn't realize! So THANKS SO MUCH!!!!! I sure it must have taken a lot of guts since you didn't know how I'd react and I respect that. So thank you, thank you, and thank you! The reason it was at a stalemate, I think was because I was trying to avoid all the relationship problems (dunno why), but after writing it...it wasn't too bad. ^^ Opps! I hinted at the chapter ^^; Ah well!
Anyways, here is the latest chapter! With March break now, who knows! Maybe I might finish writing it out...not likely, but it's a possibility ^^;

"Speaking"

~ Chapter 8: Problems ~
After an hour of trying to get Tyson to leave the barbeque, the Bladebreakers once again ran in to the All-Starz.
"HEY GUYS!!!" Tyson yelled.
"Oh hey! You guys leaving now?" Emily asked.
"Uh huh! I think if we stay any longer we'll be kicked off the premises with all the food Tyson was planning on devouring," Max laughed.
"Whatever!" Tyson grunted, and then realized something. "Say, why are you guys just standing around?" he asked.
"Our ride was suppose to pick us up half an hour ago but hasn't appeared," Eddy said looking for the bus that was to pick them up.
"Oh! Well then why don't you come back with us and call them up?" Tyson offered. They all nodded their thanks and headed back to Sora's.
Upon entering Michael instantly headed for the phone to call up Director Judy and Sora went upstairs to observe the damage done to the bed as the others sat in the living room talking.
"So why were you guys put in jail?" Steve asked curiously looking at Max and Tyson.
"I was put in by Kai cause he's a big meany!" Tyson said glaring at Kai who had a smug grin on.
"And I was because I kinda got Sora angry at me," Max laughed nervously.
"What'd you do?"
"It's destroyed, demolish, out of commission," Sora sulked entering to the living room and sat on the floor next to the chair Kai was sitting in.
"What is?"
"The bed HE broke!" Sora said raising a finger to Max.
"Oh yeah! Where am I supposed to sleep on now?" Tyson pondered.
"You can take the floor," Kai offered.
"You can take the floor," Tyson mimicked with a sour look.
"Well it seems that the bus broke down on the way back to the BBA Research Facility so we're kinda stuck," Michael said entering the room.
"So where do we go?" Emily asked.
"You could stay here," Sora offered. She wasn't too keen on the idea of having Michael here, but she couldn't abandon the others.
"Wow really? Thanks!" Eddy said.
"Yeah, we owe you guys," Steve added.
"So, what do we do?!" Tyson said looking around for something to do with the others.
"I have no idea," Kenny shrugged looking around as well and then noticed Tyson leaving. "Tyson? Where are you going?"
"Come on Chief! You know I can't eat on an empty stomach!"
"Didn't he just eat everything at the barbeque?" Michael asked.
"Yeah. But he won't be satisfied until he eats us out of house and home too," Max replied.
* * *
"Ohhhh, this looks good!" Tyson said removing a container from the fridge and popping it in the microwave. He then turned around and went back to the fridge to get something to drink.
*sniff-sniff*
"What's that smell?" Tyson asked as he kept sniffing and then noticed the smoke. "I may be wrong but this is NOT good!" He cried as he ran to the microwave.
* * *
"So then that's how we'll do it. Sora and Emily can share a room, Michael and I can split one, Steve and Chief, Ray and Eddy, and...and...what's that smell?" Max asked.
"It smells like something's..."
"BURNING!!!" Everyone yelled as they saw black smoke coming from the kitchen.
They all ran in to the kitchen to see Tyson hovering over the microwave blowing. Ray quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed the microwave as Kai grabbed the oven mitts and pulled the plug out of the wall.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kenny yelled.
"Well, first I was making something to eat," Tyson tried to explain, "and then the smoke started so I tried to blow it out!"
"Tyson?! You can't stop a fire my blowing on it!!!" Kenny said in disbelief of hearing this.
"Psh! Someone's never had a birthday cake!"
"Tyson! You're hopeless!" Kenny groaned.
Kai opened the microwave and removed a melted plastic container with the oven mitts.
"What *was* it?" Max asked trying to peer through the deformed container.
"My dinner," Tyson sighed. "Oh well! Looks like we're ordering pizza," He cheered walking out of the kitchen.
"He has no conscience, does he?" Eddy asked looking at where the boy who almost burned the house down stood.
"Doesn't look it," Ray sighed.
* * *
"Ah man! That was good!" Tyson said collapsed on the couch. "I am sooooo full!" He exclaimed.
"And it's about time too!" Kai snorted. "You ate three pizzas!"
"Really? Only three?" Tyson asked surprised.
"Yeah, only three imagine that! You must be on a diet!" Max teased.
"Hey! I'm a growing boy! I need my nutrients!"
"Tyson! I don't think pizza is considered in a proper diet," Emily laughed.
"Why not?! Its crust is bread; so grain, and the pepperoni; meat. Then there was the cheese; that's dairy. The green pepper and mushrooms are my vegetables. I think it suits a nutrition plan just fine thank you very much!"
"You've given that a lot of thought haven't you?" Eddy laughed.
"Tyson, you'll never change! Anyways, I'm going to bed. Good night all!" Sora said leaving the room.
"Wait up! I'll come too," Emily called out after. "Night everyone."
"You know, sleeping sounds like a good plan," Max yawned.
"I'm game," Steve stretched.
Everyone gave their approval as they headed to the rooms that they had decided on. Much to Kai's protest, he was left with Tyson.
"I swear Tyson! One snore. Just ONE SNORE then your out. O-U-T!!!" Kai warned.
- Sora and Emily -
"Thanks for letting us stay!" Emily said brushing out her hair.
"No problem!" Sora yawned from under the covers already. "Oh yeah! I've been meaning to ask you...when are you going to tell Max?" Sora grinned.
"Wh-what are you talking about? Tell him what?" Emily said turning a nice shade of red.
"Do we have to go threw this again?" Sora laughed seeing the crimson streak on Emily.
- Tyson and Kai -
"Stop hogging the blanket Tyson!" Kai roared pulling the blankets toward him.
"I am NOT!" Tyson roared back pulling the blanket towards him.
"Let go!" Kai said pulling again.
"I'll freeze!" Tyson said pulling again as well.
"I don't care!"
"I do!"
*RIP*
"Uh oh!"
- Max and Michael -
"Hey Max! I got a question for you!" Michael said.
"What's that?" Max said getting comfortable under the blankets.
"What do you think of Emily?"
Max was at this point very grateful the lights were out, as he turned red.
"She's a very nice girl," Max said trying to keep his voice in check.
"Hehehe, sure," Michael laughed. "So when you gonna tell her your feelings?"
"W-why would I tell her she's nice? I'm sure she knows that," Max said with a little bit of a shaky voice.
- Sora and Emily -
"I can't tell him! He's my boss' son. Not to mention on the opposing team," Emily sighed.
"Hmmm, kinda like 'Romeo and Juliet'. Two lovers, two sworn rivaling families, or in this case, teams. You should admit your feelings the way Romeo did to Juliet."
"And that would be?"
"Just say it. It worked out for them!"
"But both Romeo and Juilet died," Emily added.
"... Okay bad analogy, but stop being such a downer," Sora pouted as they laughed.
- Tyson and Kai -
"You stay on your side of the bed, and I'll stay on mine!" Kai scolded as he had gotten two new blankets from the closet, giving one to Tyson and keeping one for himself.
"Yeah, yeah!" Tyson said rolling over. "Night."
"Hm."
- Max and Michael -
"Okay! Okay, maybe I do like her a little," Max finally admitted.
"I knew it!" Michael grinned. "So how come you didn't say anything?"
"Are you crazy! I can't do that! What if she... hates me?"
"I doubt that," Michael whispered.
"What?"
"Nothing! Night!" Michael grinned.
Max lay there thinking. /Should I tell her? Maybe I should ask her out instead. You know to get to know her better. And what did Michael mean by 'I doubt that'? Ugh, I'm too tired, / he sighed. "Night"
- Kai and Tyson -
*Snore*
Kai lay in the bed glaring at the ceiling. He would have glared at Tyson, but he already tired that.
*Snore*
/I'm going to kill him! / Kai thought repetitively.
*Snore*
/I told him *not* to snore...but he *is* snoring. /
*Snore*
/I can't be held for my actions if he continues this. /
- Sora and Emily -
"Hey are you guys going to the music festival?"
"Music festival?" Sora repeated interested.
"Yeah! It's-" Emily paused to think of when it was. "-Two days after our match. It's located downtown somewhere."
"I don't know. I didn't even know about it, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I should tell the others."
"I'm sure Kai will agree! Eh?" Emily giggled.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"Oh I know you got a thing for him!" She grinned.
"Yes but you can't blackmail me cause I already told him," Sora laughed.
"Really?" Emily asked surprised.
"Uh huh!" Sora smiled remembering. "We were on a plane. I was heading back home after the last tournament, before the others because a lot of stuff had happened. My grandfather died, and I told Kai how I felt, but he didn't reply. So there I was sitting on the plane when all of a sudden I noticed a note and necklace beside me." Sora said taking the necklace out from under her shirt revealing the silver phoenix. "The note said 'Come find me.' I remember how I started looking around. I knew it was Kai but I couldn't see him. Eventually I found him at the front of the plane and he kissed me, my first kiss," Sora explained smiling and blushing from the memory. "A day I'll never forget."
- Tyson and Kai -
*Snore*
/He's a bloody earthquake! Literally! His snores are shaking the bed!!! / Kai growled as he moved, purposely hitting Tyson in the process.
Tyson started routing about a little then and it seemed that his snoring had stopped.
/Ahhhhh, finally! / Kai smiled and closed his eyes peacefully.
Tyson then rolled over, his mouth directly by Kai's ear.
*SNORE*
"ARG!!! I can't take it ANYMORE!!!" Kai yelled as he grabbed his pillow and slammed it over Tyson's face.
Tyson woke up freighted as he looked around still dazed but noticed it was still night.
"What's going o-mphf!!!" he was cut off with another smack of the pillow and rolled of the bed. "OWWW!!! KAI!!!" Tyson complained holding his head on the floor.
"OUT!!!" Kai yelled.
"But-" He stopped as he saw Kai raise his pillow over his head again and instantly hightailed it out of the room shutting the door behind him as there was a bang behind it, obviously the pillow hitting the door.
* * *
"Oh man! What are all the noises about?" Eddy complained groggily.
"Tyson and Kai probably," Ray sighed. "KAI BE NICE!!!!" He yelled, and a slight grunt was heard behind the wall.
* * *
The next morning was a gloomy day; no sunshine was able to peek through the clouds. It looked like there was going to be a lot of rain.
Sora woke up and looked around. Emily still seemed to be sleeping soundly so she carefully got out of the bed as to not wake her, and then changed in the bathroom. After she was done she headed down. On the way downstairs a sound started getting louder and louder.
"What on earth?" She asked peering in to the living room where the sound was coming from. She started laughing as she saw Tyson. He was on the floor with his feet on the couch. The blanket was half way across the floor, and he was chewing on the pillow. "Kai and him must have not gotten along too well," she giggled. Then something else caught her attention; a smell. Someone was up and cooking something. She headed to the kitchen to find Michael.
"Good morning!" He chirped.
"Morning. What are you doing up so early?" Sora asked.
"Making breakfast for you guys. We owe you for letting us spend the night," he said turning the sausages.
"Okay. But you didn't have too."
"I know! But I wanted too."
* * *
Kai started to wake up as he looked around groggily. He was still tired because of Tyson from last night, but it was already seven so he got up and dressed.
* * *
"Do you like it?" Michael asked staring at Sora from the stove.
"Yeah, it's good," Sora said taking another forkful of her scrambled eggs.
"I'm glad you like it!" He smiled as he took up a plate for himself and sat next to Sora. "Oh! Your out of orange juice," he said taking the glass and went to the fridge to fill it up for her.
/He's really nice! That kiss must have just been for politeness or something. I should be a little nicer, / she thought, remembering how she would try to avoid conversation by giving him simply blunt answers.
"Here you go!" he said laying the glass down.
"Thanks!" Sora smiled.
"Your very welcome," Michael smiled back.
* * *
"Stupid Tyson!" Kai yawned, "He'll pay during our next training session for keeping me awake."
* * *
"Wow! I slept like a log!" Emily stretched and noticed Sora gone. "Guess she's a morning person," she said getting up to change.
* * *
"That was good thanks," Sora said taking their dishes and placed them in the sink where she turned the water on and added the dish soap to wash them.
"Oh I'll do those!" Michael said jumping up.
"No, you made breakfast so I'll do the dishes," she said as she started scrubbing the plates.
Michael smiled and placed another kiss on her cheek.
* * *
Kai walked down the stairs to hear Tyson again.
"Grrrr, same sound as last night!" Kai yawned again. Hearing water running in the kitchen he decided to investigate, but wish he didn't, for what he saw was Michael kissing Sora. To hurt to see it was a peck, his eyes grew as he just stood there for what seemed like forever to him. He tore his gaze away and briskly walked in the opposite direction and out the front door.
/I didn't see that. I didn't see that, / he repeated trying to calm himself, not even noticing that he almost ran someone down.
* * *
"Hey Kai!" Emily smiled, but frowned when he nearly killed her as he past her by, seeming very pissed. "What got his knickers in a twist?"
* * *
"Stop!" Sora demanded shaking her head, and Michael jumped back a little surprised. She wasn't going to have it happen again, she loved Kai.
"What?"
"Don't!" Sora said laying the plate she was cleaning down and stepping away from him.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked still having no idea about what all this was about. He decided that he should try and comfort her, so he walked over and hugged her.
*SMACK*
"STOP!" Sora yelled.
"What's going on?" Emily said entering the kitchen seeing the slap. Then it hit her; she then knew what Kai was so angry about. "Oh no!" she said rubbing her temples.
"What was that for?" Michael asked hurt both mentally and physically as he held his cheek, which was clearly red.
"Sora, go after Kai! He saw whatever it was that happen!" Emily said quickly. Sora eyes grew and her heart broke.
"Damn!" she hissed as she started running out of the kitchen and out of the house.
"What's up Em?" Michael asked still having no clue.
"YOU...YOU...SKIRT CHASER!!!!!" Emily yelled. "Her and Kai are together, as in a COUPLE. Or at least *were*! I have no idea what YOU did, but I have a feeling that YOU were hitting on her, the way YOU always hit on girls," Emily roared.
"I...I d-didn't know," Michael said in a whisper.
"ARG!!!" Emily yelled frustrated. "YOU NEVER WAIT!!! DO YOU?!?!"
* * *
Kai found himself in a park after walking for god knows how long. He now sat on the bench looking at the silver wolf charm necklace.
/Hm. Should have known. Psh! Whatever. She only made me weak. That's all. I was nothing more then a toy. Grandpa was right. / He growled placing the necklace down on the bench. /Grandpa was right about everything. / He said standing swiftly and then headed to the nearby beystadium surrounded by bladers. His eye had a look that anyone could see showed that he didn't cared for anything, nor anyone. /It's time to follow my destiny and become myself again. To become the real Kai! / he thought full of confidence.
* * *
"Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!!" Sora yelled at herself as she ran in search of Kai. And few people she ran in to said that they saw the boy heading this way and that. She followed every direction and found herself in a park where she collapsed on a bench losing hope fast.
"Kai where are you?" she asked no one in particular as it started to rain.
"Even the weather is against me," she sighed and then felt something poking her in the leg. Upon looking she found a necklace with a silver wolf on it, her necklace, her gift to Kai. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't, if Kai was here, he could still be nearby. She looked around and saw a few kids running away from a beystadium to get out of the rain.
"Excuse me!" Sora yelled running up to them. "Did you see a boy with two pairs of triangles on either side of his face. He's wearing a white scarf, and -"
"Yeah we saw him. He's an awesome blader. He took on my brother and I, and creamed us! It was brutal," one boy said holding his arm over his head as if to protect himself from the rain.
"Yeah we didn't stand a chance," the brother added.
"Do you know where he went?"
"That way!" The two boys pointed. Sora bowed her thanks and then took off in the pointed direction.
* * *
Many hours later Sora appeared home soaking wet. She couldn't find Kai anywhere, only heard people say, "Yeah, I saw him. He went that way," she only hoped that he had gone home. She quietly searched the house and found the others were asleep, but no Kai. She finally sat on the couch after drying herself out with a towel and looked at the time, it was eleven thirty.
"Kai, where are you?"
She went to the kitchen to get a drink and found a note.
"Dear Kai and Sora, we have no idea where you are, but dinner's in the blue container in the fridge. It's all I managed to salvage from Tyson at dinner. We're all tired so we're going to hit the hay. See you in the morning.
Kenny"
At least that's what it originally said, the part that said "It's all I managed to salvage from Tyson at dinner." was scratched out and replaced by, "Tyson saved all of it for you."
Sora smirked, and went to the fridge and got her drink and returned to the living room with it, hoping Kai would get home soon.
"What are you doing up?" Asked a voice. Sora turned around to see Tyson.
"Waiting for Kai," she replied, "You?" But the answer was not needed as Tyson's stomach growled.
"Be right back!" he laughed leaving.
Sora turned to the window again, and thought she saw a shadow. Then there was a sound at the door; the sound of the doorknob turning. She quickly leapt to her feet and headed to the door.
"Kai?" she asked quietly. The shadow froze but didn't reply. Instead he took of his shoes and headed upstairs. "Kai!" Sora repeated.
"I'm tired. Goodnight," he said coldly and left. Sora looked hurt and nodded.
"Night," she whispered.
* * *
Tyson was in the kitchen looking for something to eat and came upon the leftovers. He looked at the note that he had adjusted earlier to say he saved it. He started thinking that maybe he should leave it, but his stomach growled in protest, so Tyson did the only thing he could think off; he ate it.
"Ahhhhh! Much better!" he said smacking his stomach when he heard voices. He peered around the corner to hear Kai say, "I'm tired. Goodnight," and to hear Sora's heartbroken "Night."
/What's up with Mr. Sourpants? /
