Disclaimer: (SLC) ARGH!!! I slept over my friend Keltics house last night and she made me paint my nails. **shudders** For those who know me, you know that I don't like putting any kind of make-up on. And in this case, that includes nail polish!!! And it's PINK too! **faints while tries to rub off fingers**

For those who might be wondering, I'm not a tomboy I just LOATHE the fact of spoofing people up! (Especially girls. Except in the case of myrmyr's fanfiction where we make over Kuwabara. That was awesome)

Ok, now I know this is annoying but I'm going to respond to reviews BEFORE the story not after cause I'll most likely forget.

And I know most of you people have been talking to me about this. I know a lot of the characters are ooc but I really don't care. I don't like it the way it is. That's why I had to spice things up a bit! ^-^

Chapter 6 Review Replies

Messenger of Light: Yeah. I do arch. It's fun. ^-^ Maybe dancing in Civics class is something your friends would do, but, well, let's just say the people who were dancing weren't my friends. My friends think anime guys are hot! **drool**hiieeii**drools more**

Monigue: Power to the people y'all! ^-^ Peace out!

Myrmyr: No Myrmyr! It's not the end! And yeah it was really creepy. But it was funny when Hollie said that he refers to light government as fluff. We both started laughing and no one knew why. Hehehe.

Mariana Nimeneth: You have Touya plushies?!?!?! Where are Hiei plushies? MUST HAVE!!!

Princess Meru: I'm glad you didn't flame this time. GIVE ME HELL! SEE IF I CARE!!! ^-^

Naitheas: Well, that did sound a little too much like a flame. Sorry, but it did. And Look, I'm sorry but the story is only like ten or eleven chapters long so I had to fit it in somewhere! Plus, note the title of the website fan FICTION dot net. Not fan FACT dot net. Oh well, flame my story all you want. I don't give a sh*t.

Ok!!! On with the story!

~*~

It sounded like birds were chirping in his head. Millions of them. All flying around the waterfall.

But as Kai's eyes slowly began to flutter open, he noticed it wasn't his head, it was real.

The Birds outside were chirping like mad as he sat there against the cold stone wall of the cave. As he slowly began to remember where he was, he noticed that he couldn't get up. Something was on his lap.

As he looked down, he breathed in quickly as if to gasp, but in a quiet manner. He saw Key resting her head on his chest as her body sat curled up in his lap. ((AN: I'M NOT THAT SICK YOU FREAKS!!! Of course they didn't! Don't even think it! They're fourteen for crying out loud! Geez))

'She must have fallen asleep.' He thought as he remembered the night before. He slowly began to smile as he wrapped his arms slowly around her back as she began to wake.

Her eyes fluttered open as well. "Hn." Key muttered as she looked around to figure out where she was. When she realized exactly where she was, she blushed.

"Good morning," Kai whispered to Key who was still snuggled close to him.

"Good morning," she replied as her blush faded and she curled up closer to his chest.

As much as Kai never wanted to leave, it had just hit him that he never went back to Tyson's the night before. 'Shit.' He thought. 'Tyson's gonna kill me.'

He slowly began to sit up straight as if he were leaving. But then he looked down at Key who had quickly fallen back asleep on his lap, and stopped. 'I can't leave her.' He thought as he snuggled back together with Key and kissed her lightly on top of her head. .

'I'll just stay a bit longer.'

"Tyson-!"

"Don't 'Tyson' me!" Tyson shouted as he threw Rei on the other side of the dojo wall. "I know you know where Kai is!" He shouted as he walked over to Rei who was now on the ground. "Now TELL ME!!"

"Tyson, don't!" Max said from the corner of the room. "I'm pissed off too but that's no reason to beat up Rei!"

"I swear!" Rei lied. "I have no idea where he is!" he began to get up as he struggled to get to his feet.

"I know you're lying!" Tyson said as his fist was held behind his head, ready to kill anything in its path while holding Rei's collar.

"Put him down," said a familiar voice that had just stepped into the room. "Now."

Tyson released his grip on Rei only to stomp over to the voice of Kai standing in the threshold. "Where were you?" Tyson said in a cold yet angry tone.

"Why does it matt-"

"BECAUSE I SAID SO!" Tyson screamed as he was maybe inches away from Kai as his fists began to twitch and shake.

"Fine." Kai said. Rei looked up at Kai wide eyed. 'Is he really going to tell Tyson about Key?' Rei thought. 'I hope not.'

Kai stepped back from Tyson a bit so he could get some room. "I was training."

"I KNEW IT!!!" Tyson screamed. "You've been training Beyblading without your team haven't you? That's why you're so much better than before!"

"Now hold on," Kai said as he put his hand in front of his face as if to signal stop. "Don't always assume things, Tyson."

Tyson looked puzzled as he waited for Kai to explain himself.

"I've been training archery. Not Beyblade."

At first there was a silence. But then Tyson and Max tried as hard as they could but their lungs couldn't hold their laughter. They both burst out laughing at the same time.

Kai's eyes narrowed. "What exactly is so funny?"

"It's just," Tyson began still chuckling. "Well, isn't that kind of a sissy sport?" ((AN: When I first started Archery everyone made fun of me because of that reason. That it was a 'sissy' sport. Well, to those people, F U!! HA!!))

They both continued to laugh as Kai turned and walked out of the dojo room quietly. Kai stopped as he heard footsteps limping up behind him.

He turned around and saw Rei limping as he clutched the side of the wall.

"Well," He began. "They laugh when you tell them archery, what about when you tell them love?"

Kai paused for a moment. Thinking and then turning his back to Rei before speaking.

"Most will hear, Most will see. Most will fear, And most will be. But most will love, And most will deny,"

"Deny what?" Rei said as he stood straight up in the air trying to endure the pain.

"That most can't see," Kai began to walk to his room. "The love they hide."

'It's been a week.' Key thought to herself as she sat on the porch of her restaurant. She had a dirty apron on and her hands and fingernails were covered in flour and dough. But that was the last thing she was worried about. 'Kai hasn't been to practice in a week. I'm worried.'

She repositioned herself so she would be more comfortable on the hard wood. 'The last time I saw him was at the waterfall when I told him about my father.' Her eyes began to close. "Kai," she whispered to herself.

Suddenly, she heard a voice she knew she had heard before but she couldn't put her finger on it. "Hey," the voice said from the dirt road.

She opened her eyes only to be looking into the face of Rei.

"I know you!" She exclaimed. "You're one of Tyson's friends, right?"

"Yeah. Unfortunately." They both chuckled.

Key gasped for a moment. "Wait," she looked up at him. "Do you know Kai?"

He closed his eyes and smiled. "That's what I came here to talk to you about."

She blinked. She didn't know quite how to respond. "Would you like to come inside?"

"Sure."

They both walked into Higashi Kaze and Rei sat down at the counter. The restaurant was empty. Key walked into the back and came out a few minutes later with a small cup of green tea. She handed the cup to Rei and began to speak.

"So," She started. "Go ahead. Talk."

Rei looked up at her and sighed. "Well,"

"Well what?"

"You might know this deep down or this might be obvious to you but Kai is deeply in love with you." Rei said calmly as if it were nothing.

Key's eyes widened though she had guessed that deep down she was still in a bit of a shock. "Ok."

"But, Tyson has made it hard for him to admit it."

"How so?" Key said now very interested.

"He's been pressuring Kai into practicing with them instead of archery."

"Why?"

"Beats me. But Tyson and Max nearly killed themselves laughing when they found out the Kai was practicing archery."

"Why would they do that?"

"They thought it was a 'sissy' sport."

"Ah." Key said as she leaned backward. "So Kai is feeling peer pressure basically?"

"It seems that way."

"But wait a minute! You know about us! Why is it that you know and Tyson and Max don't?"

Rei chuckled as he took a sip of tea. "Well, Kai feels that Tyson and max wouldn't understand about you two as much as I do."

"What do you mean?"

"Every since he met you, I've been hearing him saying your name in his sleep." Rei said smiling.

Key blushed. "Oh. Ok then." She sighed. "But why would they not understand about the two of us? What did I do?"

"I don't think it's you so much as it is any girl."

"Oh. Right."

Rei paused as he looked into her sad face. "I was kind of hoping, well,"

"What?"

Rei paused. "I was kind of hoping that you would have a message for Kai. Just to let him know that you're still here and everything."

"Tell him,"

"Yes?"

Key paused as she closed her eyes and walked through the kitchen door in the back of the restaurant while she spoke.

"Tell him to meet me at the Taki. And he doesn't have to bring anything. I just need to talk."
