Chap 5: volley ball.a dangerous sport

Tala hit the surface of the water with a small scream before immediately going under.

Maybe I shouldn't have done that I mean if some one pushed me into the water with perfectly good clothes on I'd be furious.

After a few seconds Tala resurfaced coughing up water.

"HELP.I.CAN'T.SWIM!!!" Tala screamed waving his hands in the air like a headless chicken trying desperately not to drown.

"Tala grab on!" I gasped extending my hand to him.

Tala grabbed my arm and smirked and instead of climbing out he roughly tugged on it sending me flying into the pool.

The minute I resurfaced we were at each others necks trying to practically kill each other.

I grabbed Tala's arms and bought him under the water with me, I was about to resurface but Tala grabbed my leg and pulled me back under. I didn't know what to do I was quickly running out of air and as much as I didn't want to hurt Tala I had to. Defying the force of gravity I kicked Tala in the gut immediately resulting in him letting go.

Once on top I steadied my breath and watched as Tala rose beside me wiping the water of his face.

As if it wasn't hard enough trying to float on water I had to do that and block Tala's fierce blows, which with much difficultly I did. Tala paused for a while and I took that as the perfect time to run for my life, but not long after I took off Tala was right on my heels and very soon I found myself cornered against the smooth wall of the pool with a fuming Tala in front of me.

"I'll tell you one more time Kon, stay away form Kai." Tala warned raising his clenched fist.

"You can't make me." I scowled.

"I can and I will." Tala replied smirking.

I shut my eyes and waited for the pain to come but it didn't all I heard was:

"Damn it, this ain't over yet."

I opened my eyes and saw that Tala wasn't there, instead he was standing on the deck next to some one, that person offered me his hand and I gratefully took it.

When I was out of the water I looked up to see who my savior was.

"Kai?!" I said in a puzzled tone.

"I heard loud noises coming from outside so I decided to check it out, what's with you two anyways?" Kai asked.

"Well." Tala started shooting me a death glare, "Ray here is in-"

"I'll explain it to you Kai, after I've changed." I said clamping my hand over Tala's mouth.

We went inside and Tala took of downstairs to his bedroom while me and Kai made our way upstairs to ours.

~.~.~.~In the bedroom~.~.~.~

"I guess you want an explanation huh?" I said walking out of the bathroom drying my drenched hair.

Kai just grunted and I took a seat beside him on the two seater couch (AN: or a love seat, eh whatever)

"Well me and.arg stupid hair.Tala got into.stupid hair.a little.stupid stupid hair.fight and.um can you give me a sec?" I said struggling with my hair.

"Here." Kai said wrapping the towel on op of my head with my hair under it.

"Thanks." I replied flashing him a smile. "Me and Tala got into some stupid fight and the next thing I knew we were trying to kill each other in the swimming pool."

"Well try not to kill each other anymore or I'll have some major explaining to do since I'm the oldest here." Kai said sarcastically, walking up to the bed he slipped under the covers.

I wanted to tell Kai that Tala liked him just to humiliate Tala. but then what if Kai shared the same feelings for him, then I would stand no chance in winning his heart. One thing for sure is that if Kai did share feelings for Tala he didn't show any signs of it, I mean he never talks to him I'm the only one he'll actually listen to, but then again this is Kai we're talking about.

I let out a heavy sigh before snuggling under the warm comforters of our queen sized bed.

~.~.~.~In the morning~.~.~.~

"Ray, Kai.AHHH!!!" Johnny screamed at the sight before him.

Just like last time Ray had cuddled up next to Kai and scared the hell out of Johnny and made him horribly jealous.

"What.who is it?" I asked drowsily getting up from my sleeping position followed by Kai. "Um Johnny what's going on it's so early in the morning?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Johnny replied his whole face reading jealously.

"Nothing I just hug things when I sleep" I answered yawning and rubbing my eyes.

"Alright then, we're all leaving for the beach in 1 hour be downstairs as quick as possible." Johnny snorted leaving the room.

"If you ask me Johnny looked kind of strange, even jealous maybe." Kai said getting up and heading towards the bathroom.

"Really.nah.what's there to be jealous of anyways?" I yawned noticing the change with Johnny.

"I don't know, I just thought I'd point that out to you." Kai replied shutting the bathroom door.

~.~.~.~Downstairs~.~.~.~

"So you decide to go to the beach and you don't tell me in advance, I would have at least prepared for Johnny's wake up call." Tyson complained shoving food in his mouth.

"Stop eating so much or you'll get a cramp." Max warned waving his finger in front of Tyson's face.

"Stop worrying I'll be fine." Tyson said pretending to bite of Max's finger.

"How would you prepare anyways Tyson?" Kenny asked.

"I would have turned on my alarm clock." Tyson responded.

"Last time you set up an alarm clock you ended up breaking it." Max pointed out giggling.

"Face it Tyson you're never prepared." Bryan smirked.

Tyson grunted and Bryan smiled in triumph.

"Come on guys lets go already!" I yelled impatiently, dragging Tyson out the door.

~.~.~.~At the beach~.~.~.~

"Here Ray you'll need this." Johnny said handing me a bottle of sun lotion.

"Thanks." I said rubbing the cool lotion over my arms, legs, tummy, neck, face (AN: Do you even apply it on the face?) and when I reached to my back I slightly struggled getting in on.

"Here I'll help you." Johnny offered grabbing the bottle from me.

"It's ok Johnny I can manage." I said trying no to offend his generous offer. (AN: Offend his generous offer.sheesh I'm pathetic.)

"No really I don't mind." Johnny said applying the cool cream over my back.

'What's Johnny doing didn't Ray say he didn't need any help.' Kai thought in slight jealousy.

'Why do I care anyways, this is not my problem-'

*Maybe because you care about Ray* Dranzer interrupted.

'Of course I care about Ray, he's the only one I can let my guard down around.'

*Listen master, I can tell what's on your mind, and I know you have feelings for him*

'Hn,'

*Don't hn me!*

'Hn'

*Why don't you go talk to Ray I'm sure he's shares the same feelings for you*

'Hn'

*If you don't talk to him I'll tell Drigger everything and he'll talk to Ray!*

'Listen birdie stay out of my love life, and you'd be wise not to forget it!'

*Aren't you Mr. Sunshine*

'Scram!'

*Why should I*

'Because I said so'

*Wow that's such a great reason*

'Fine talk all you want I'm leaving anyways'

"Hey Kai I need some help with my sun lotion, can you help me?" Tala asked interrupting Dranzer.

"I'm doing something." Kai said blankly.

"It.doesn't look like it."

Kai got up and started walking away "Well now I am, I'm going home." Kai said.

Enrique raced passed a stiff Tala and grabbed onto Kai's arm.

"Let go of me." Kai demanded.

"No can do Kai, we need a volleyball player." Enrique said struggling to drag Kai.

"Oh good, now I can choose my team." Johnny announced when every one was there. "I choose Ray."

"I choose Tala." Bryan said.

(AN: now It's going to be Johnny, Bryan, Johnny, Bryan you get the picture.)

"I choose Enrique."

"I choose Max."

"I choose Oliver."

"I choose Tyson."

"I choose Kai."

"I choose.*sigh*.Kenny."

"Why am I always last to be picked for sports?" Kenny complained.

"Because-never mind." Bryan sighed.

I grabbed the net and started to assemble it the only problem was I couldn't get it to stand every time I got it up the poles would collapse and the whole net would come crashing down. With each failed attempt it only got harder to lift up the net and start all over again, I decided to do the next best thing:

"Hey, can someone help me with the net?" I asked after my 10th failed attempt.

"I'll help you." Enrique offered before Johnny could speak.

Once the net was up the teams took their positions and started playing.

Every hit that Tala took was headed directly for me, the reason: Tala was trying to knock the lights out of me, guess he meant it when he said "Damn it, this ain't over yet."

To Tala's surprise I was an equally good volley ball player and easily shot the ball back over sending it to anyone but Tala.

The game went on with a constant tie, Tala was determined to break it. Tala spiked the ball to the left and since I was the most on the left I had to take it.

"I got it!" I yelled diving towards the ball and tossing it over the net.

"Nice!" Johnny commented watching Tala shoot the ball back over. "Ray watch out incoming!"

SMACK.

"Oww." I groaned rubbing my sore forehead. "Tala!"

"What?!" Tala questioned raising an eyebrow.

"How dare you!"

"How dare I what?!"

"How dare you hit me!"

"Stop assuming things Ray!"

"So the ball just decided to smack me on the head!" I fought back knowing that it was intentional.

"It's not my fault I can't control the direction of the ball!" Tala argued.

"You can too Ta-"

"Come on break it up guys and lets continue with the game!" Enrique butted in trying to stop an upcoming fight.

Tala may have got me this time but he wasn't the only one with tricks up his sleeves, I'll show him one way or the other.

The game continued with my team leading by one point only because every time the ball headed towards Kenny he would either run away, duck or let the ball hit him and then scream in pain.

"Heads up!" Tyson warned lightly throwing the ball over.

"We didn't need a warning for that kind of hit, if it was even a hit at all." Kai snorted shooting it back in Tyson's direction.

"You love putting me down don't you!" Tyson spat as Max pushed him away and hit the ball barely making it over because of the angle he was in.

"Hey what you do that for Maxie!?" Tyson asked playfully shoving him.

"It was either that or I let the ball smack you in the face." Max answered dodging so that Bryan could send the ball back over.

"You should have let the ball hit him, maybe that'd teach him to pay attention." Bryan grumbled keeping a close eye on the flying leather object.

"Why you!" Tyson raged putting all his anger in the ball sending it flying over.

"AHH!" I screamed as the ball headed for me.

I cupped my hands together and let the ball collide with it.

"ouff." Was all I heard from behind me.

I spun around and gasped.I.I.I had hit Kai.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~Finito.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Finito- just one of my crazy made up words just like hakaraku.

THANK YOU REVIEWERS:

If any of you are wondering how Ray hit Kai. he him with the ball.the force of the ball on Ray's arm caused it to go backwards and unfortunately Kai had to be directly behind Ray.

This chapter may be kinda messed but forgive me.too much homework is destroying me!!! x_x
