Fwaaaaaaaa! Kai-ness!!! Gah, the first version of this chapter sucked so bad! So, here it is, fresh of the... THE SOMETHING!!!! BWAHA!!!

______________________

I type the code, double checking nearly every letter I enter. Maybe there's a key on the keyboard that isn't working... If that's the case that I can just check and... No, I've pressed every button and they all work...

Stupid code.

Stupid computer.

I hate it.

Luckily the feeling seems to be mutual! Which is actually a bad thing... Okay... Contradicting myself... Oh well, I do it often...

I look up from the computer, having paused in my typing. There's no one here, I know there isn't, but I look around the room anyway.

Yup. No one.

I glance out the window at the movement I noticed. Kai's outside. I return to typing in the code.

He seems to like being outside and away from us. It seems like he enjoys being alone or wih Rei. He likes calm things. Being outside and alone is just pure... I dunno, pure something.

When he's outside he tends to just lean against something and, I don't know, maybe listen... that's why it's okay if Rei's with him.

Takao and Max. They can't handle being calm. I mean, they're young, they're energetic, they're immature, they need to do something with all the energy. It ussually includes noise. Loud noise.

That's why Kai doesn't like being outside with them.

He seems to like being outside with Rei though. Rei is calm, he can handle-and enjoy- the purity of whatever. So, those to could probably sit outside for two hours in silence and then come inside and feel as though they'd been having a deep and meaningful conversation the whole time!

It's just how things work with Kai.

Remember a few seconds ago "Kai doesn't like being outside with them," refering to Takao and Max.

Y'know what? I think he does like being around them, having them goof off infront of him.

No matter how he acts, I think he enjoys their childish behavior. He's smiled once or twice. For example: When Rei convinced him to come to the park with everyone.

A funny thing behind that, Rei stole my laptop and wouldn't give it back until I went and played with some kids my age at the park. I'm thankful, I'm glad he did. I met Hikaru there - which is especially amusing because the purpose of going there was, as said, to meet people my age, but I met a person Kai's age. That's not the only reason though, I'm just glad that he forced me to go outside and have fun like a normal kid.

I have too many responsibilities. It may not seem like it, but there's a lot of pressure.

So, anyway he dragged me to the park- along with everyone else-and bribed Kai into keeping it from me. I don't know what he bribed him with, but Kai wouldn't give it to me.

I eventually met Hikaru. I didn't talk to her for a while, just kind of watched her jump from rock to rock across the small river in the park. she eventually fell in, so I went to help her and we just kinda started hanging out.

Okay, back on topic...

Kai was there, leaning against a tree next to a bench the Rei was lying on. Max and Takao were just having a play fight infront of them in the grass. I remember it because I had been showing Hikaru who everyone was from a distance. Turns out she likes to watch the tournaments on TV. She doesn't beyblade, but she's a fan of our team.

She decided that she was my number one fangirl. She's a little... Weird...

Off topic again...

Kai smiled though. When he was watching Max and Takao play infront of him and had Rei right next to him, I think he felt at home. That's when I feel happiest; when I'm with all of them and they're just being normal. Not beyblading, not having a detailed conversation, when they're being normal.

Kai's pretty mean, right?

I don't know why he's so mean, but I don't think he really is. He has this weird way of coming off as mean no matter how nice he's being. He could probably give you a boquet of flowers and manage to come off as rude.

I don't know... We don't know very much about him. He isn't much for conversations...

A window pops up on the screen, snapping me out of my musings.

"Coding error, resetting to default."

Out of frustration I turn off the computer and leave the kitchen, heading towards the living room where Takao and Max are no doubt playing video games.

I bet their game system isn't being evil.
