Kenny sighed. It was difficult enough with Kai, but with out him it was disastrous. He was only one who could wake Tyson up, as far as Kenny knew anyway.

Max was off somewhere with Miriam, Tyson and Hillary were off together, and Rei was pretty upset about Kai leaving them. So there he was, Kenny, all by himself thinking about what to do next.

His thoughts were interrupted by a quiet voice.

"Hey chief," she said.

Kenny looked up at Milla. "Hi. I suppose you're here to tell me that you're joining your brother, and that Emma is too?" Kenny guessed.

Milla smiled sadly and squatted next to the computer wiz. "You shouldn't feel so bad Kenny, after all, we were only with you for a couple of months at the most."

"But Kai left too," sighed Kenny.

Milla pursed her lips and rose a brow in question. "He left?"

"He's joined you guys," explained Kenny. "And I think our whole team will break soon. Max is head over heels for Miriam, and Joseph, Dunga, and Ozuma are beginning to like him. He's taking more and more training sessions to train with the Saint Shields."

Milla nodded and looked out at the view of the pond in the small city park.

"I never thought he would leave you guys, but then again he doesn't really like any of you except for Rei maybe," replied Milla. "And I won't be surprised if Max does all of a sudden up and go to the Saint Shields team. They were pretty busy last month, talking on the phone and so. And then Ian caught them making out hard core a couple of nights back," Milla said. "But where would you go if something like that happened?"

"If Tyson followed Max into the Saint Shields, I'd probably head off to America," he sighed. "Maybe Max's mom can give me job or something."

Milla smiled. "Don't be so hard on yourself chief, I bet if you went there they'd give you a great job, and besides, then you wouldn't have to use msn to talk to Emily."

Kenny blushed. "We're just friends."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," said Milla.

Kenny's blush grew redder as he looked at his sneakers with absolute interest.

"I'll see you around Kenny. It was a pleasure to meet you and Dizzi," Milla said as she shook Kenny's hand.

"Don't tell anyone this, but I think Rei is going to go with you," said Kenny. "And I hope he does, you and him suit each other."

Milla blushed lightly and smiled and walked away from the chief, leaving him to his own thoughts.

"So the Bladebreakers are breaking?" asked Emma.

"That's what it looks like," replied Milla.

"Who's left so far?"

"Kai."

Emma gave an unsurprised look towards Milla. "Who'd he join now?"

"Us," said Milla.

Emma rose an eyebrow in question. "Interesting."

Milla smiled lightly and shook her head. "And I think Max is going to join the Saint Shields because of Miriam, and chief says he might go to the All Stars and Tyson will probably find new bladers. Daiki is obviously on his list," Milla said, referring to the odd looking boy who she had heard of before joining the Bladebreakers.

Emma nodded. "What about Rei?"

"I'm not sure," said Milla.

They stood in silence for a few minutes. Emma turned to her companion and patted her on the shoulder. "I'm going to head in, I'll tell Bryan you're out tonight."

Milla glanced upward as Emma left her with the view of the Harbour Bridge.

"Someone has to invite the guy in," Emma pushed.

Ian was trying very hard not to snicker as he heard her request.

Tala sighed. "Why?"

"He's a great blader, even better than midget there in the corner," Emma replied, pointing to Ian who now looked as if he was about to kill.

"Midget? Is that seriously the best you can come up with?" said Ian.

Emma shot him a glare. "I don't want to waste brain cells on a midget."

Ian snarled but kept quiet.

"Come on, you know I'm right," argued Emma. "And I bet Kai agrees."

The whole group turned and stared at Kai, waiting for him to say something. He was leaning against the wall in his usual pose with his eyes closed. And eyebrow rose as he felt the whole group stare at him.

"He's easy to tolerate, he doesn't get high on air, he can blade, and he's quiet. He's almost like Spencer," he said, going back to his own thoughts.

Tala turned back to his sister. "I don't know why you want him on the team."

"We'll loose him to the Saints if we don't move quickly," Emma replied, sniffing.

"The Saints?" asked Spencer.

"Max has just left for the Saints, and I'm guessing Tyson did too," said Emma, looking down at her cell as the text message came through. "Yep, Tyson and Hillary."

"What about Kenny?" asked Kai.

"He's off to America if I'm not mistaken, to the All Stars."

Kai shrugged. "He would've been useful."

Emma nodded. "Maybe we can talk him into staying with us eh? He knows our blades too well for me to be comfortable to let him run off."

"Hang on, weren't we talking about Rei?" asked Ian, getting rather confused.

Emma rolled her eyes. "Well gee miss forgetfulness ya reckon?"

Ian glared at Emma but didn't speak.

Tala's eyes danced with amusement as he watched from the sidelines.

Bryan looked toward the others. "Where's Milla?"

Emma looked toward Bryan. "She's out."

"Where?"

"Don't know."

"Where did you see her last?"

"Some big bridge that is a very big tourist attraction, looks like a coat hanger?" guessed Emma.

"The Harbour bridge you idiot," said Ian.

"That's the one. But I think she left there," Emma replied to Bryan.

Bryan looked at her in question.

"What?" Emma said, a look of feigned innocence in her eyes.

Bryan narrowed his eyes.

Emma grinned at him. "She wants to be alone, she needs to think, and she needs to see someone."

"Who?" asked Bryan.

"Gee, look at the time, gotta run right Kai? You told me we were going somewhere," Emma said, getting up and pulling Kai out the door behind her.

"She can't lie to fly," said Ian, shaking his head.

"What do you know about this anyway?" asked Tala. "You two had quite the conversation that one morning.

"Nothing, I swear I don't know anything," said Ian.

"Milla likes Rei, how obvious is it?" concluded Spencer.

"Ok, yeah, so I do know that," countered Ian.

Bryan's eyebrow twitched as he folded his arms over his chest.
