Well Hello everyone!
I just finished reading all my reviews and well…for 5 chapters I think I'm doing pretty good!! 124 reviews last time I checked. 124…wow…I'm just overjoyed! You all are great and the reviews are so nice…
Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade but I'd love to own/marry Max's voice actor because he's such a cutie.
Chapter 6 -Delirious Words
''That was great'' Tyson and Max cheered, slapping their hands together in applause.
''The effects were phenomenal''
''No Maxie, Gene was!' Tyson winked.
''Yeah'' The blonde agreed with a dazed grin.
''It was awesome when Wolverine fought that chick with the long fingers or nails''
''No, when Night crawler gets threw security at the beginning. Wouldn't that be cool to do?'' Tyson went on and on about the blue German mutant's abilities.
''How about an early supper?'' Kenny asked, interrupting the movie subject.
''Didn't you have any popcorn inside?'' Max asked.
''It was hard to actually get any with both of Tyson's hands inside the bag the whole movie''
''Hehehehe'' Tyson grinned widely ''I was hungry''
''You're always hungry''
''So true Kenny'' Max laughed.
''How about we go for an early supper then head back?''
''Great plan Chief. Now where do we eat?'' Tyson looked around the busy streets for a restaurant capable of handling his eating capabilities.

Kai's face remained in shock, as the words, pronounced so innocently had yet to sink in.
'Gorgeous?' He thought long and hard as he stared at Ray.
He could not believe the Chinese boy had said such a thing. Did he really mean it?
Then, he remembered his earlier conclusion to the boy's actions. Part of him wished Ray really felt that way but the logical side of him was a lot stronger. He wished, but such thoughts he knew were futile. He was going to have to accept the rational explanation.
''Why are you doing this to me?'' He looked down at the raven-haired boy who didn't respond. It's not like he expected one anyway.
As he sat back down on his bed, Kai pulled Dranzer out of his pocket.
''I wish'' he mumbled, turning the blade slowly in his palm.
The slate-haired boy could not help but think about the ill teen.
Kai snapped out of his thoughts when Ray spoke yet again some of his nonsense.
''It's not fair''
''No it isn't'' Kai sighed, pocketing his blue blade and getting up to check if he was fine.
''I really want… you…you…it's you…'' Ray rolled over then back again.
The captain's heart skipped a beat but he quickly reminded himself of Ray's present state, if only to keep the emotions he felt buried.
'He's delirious - that's all'
The more he said it, the less he believed it.
''Red'' Ray mumbled into his pillow but Kai heard it.
''Those… eyes…so warm…''
He knew Ray was talking about his own orbs. But as he waited for a response, any word of the sort, there came none.
The slate-haired teen could not stay in the room any longer and crept back downstairs. He could hear Ray mumble some more after he shut the door, but kept walking down each step.

Once they found a Japanese restaurant in the busy town, all three boys agreed on the buffet. Undecided over McDonalds, Subway, and some other little joint, they all came to a decision on native food. And because Tyson's stomach rumbled so loud people were beginning to wonder and stare.
Tyson grabbed a bit of everything and threw it on his plate while Max stuffed his face with noodles and egg rolls. Kenny stuck with the stir-fry and only made one extra trip to the buffet, table unlike Tyson who practically lived there throughout the entire meal.
''This is great, nothing like Ray's cooking, but still, it's good'' Tyson almost began drooling as he eyed his first plate, soon to become the bottom layer of many stacked dishes.
Downstairs, Kai began to cook himself dinner. Even if the others came back, they could cook for themselves. He made something quickly with what was left in the fridge since it was still early.
A simple bowl of chicken soup with a salad.
Even if he tried to make something larger, he would probably burn it. He wasn't the best chef in the world. Cooking was Ray's department, or so they had all agreed, even if Ray had been reluctant, at first.
It was only natural that as he sat there, before his meal, his mind reeled over the information that Ray divulged, unwillingly, perhaps, into the darkness of his illness. Was it a confession? A timid crush? Physical attraction?
What if Ray liked him? What if what he said meant nothing?
Pushing his empty bowl aside, Kai plunged his fork into the salad and ate what his utensil picked up.
''He doesn't like me'' Kai told himself, in agreement with logic.
''He's just delirious''
He thought about the word delirious for a second.
'Things said while under such state come from one's self-conscious. What he really feels deep down inside. But when one's words are gibberish or make no sense they have no meaning'
Kai had heard that from a doctor before when he was sick at the abbey as a child.
''Not everything he said was gibberish''
Kai finished off the second bowl's contents and brought his dishes to the automatic washer.
''I'm going to have to talk to him'' The captain began to tremble as he said that. An uncomfortable chill ran through him.
''It's not like he's said anything drastic''
''But what if he does like me, everything he's said seem like hints''
''I can't just talk to him about that. What if he doesn't mean anything''
Then it hit him hard like a tone of bricks. He was afraid, scared, and fearful even of Ray's reaction towards him and the situation they would soon be in.
The what if questions flooded his mind.
''Damn it!'' He growled. He had never been so confused before.
''It just has to be done or I'll go nuts''
Even if the slate-haired boy said it, he still walked up the stairs still quite unsure.

''Everything's paid for guys'' Tyson walked out of the restaurant and joined his friends in the street.
''I even got a discount because the owner recognized me, since I'm famous and all'' The blunette grinned ear to ear showing off his pride.
His friends just gave him a look of utter disbelief.
''Ok, Ok! He gave me my meal free if I promised never to go back there'' Tyson threw his arms up in the air. He had been caught.
''You're just a walking, talking, endless food pit'' Max nudged Tyson's arm in a friendly-I'm-just-kidding sort of way.
''So now to find a bus back guys''
''Do you know when we have to catch one Chief?'' The blonde asked.
''No we'll have to find a B.B.A center and ask for information''
''Has anyone seen one around?'' Max scanned their current populated area.
''I guess we'll have to look for one'' Tyson started down the street.
'' I guess so'' Max and Kenny caught up to Tyson up ahead.
-TBC-
There, done! How do you all feel about Kai's reaction? OOC? I find I made him handle it quite well.
So everyone, about the one shot…Can I post it when I'm done with this fic or do you all want it now? If I try to type it up now my chapter 7 might take a bit longer to get up.
One last thing, I'm moving soon, very shortly. Actually it's the 25th I'm moving. So chapter 7 will be up the 24th promised. Chapter 8 might be a longer wait. It all depends on how fast my internet connection gets back up.
If everything goes well, my computer will be up the 28th but that's without internet. I'll tell you all more after my next update. Anyone who wants full information I'm happy to explain it all so just write to me!
