Chibi-Kari: Hey all!!! I'm back!!! Based on popular demand this is the chapter

before the last. I was asked to finish this up but I couldn't decide if this should be the

last chapter or should there be another one after this one...So I asked my fic advisor

points to Selphie 451 who is tied up in a boat She is making all of my

decisions so if you wanted this to be the last chapter blame her.

Max: Well, obviously she doesn't own...otherwise she would use someone else

to make her decisions seeing she is soooooooo indecisive.

Chibi-Kari: Yup! smiles

Max: rolls eyes On with the fic...

Investigation

Ch. 8-Night Time Talks

That Night

Hilary came over later that night to sleepover. Rei watched noiselessly from a

window as Max and Hilary talked the late night hours away. Kai was actually asleep for

once and Tyson was snoring as usual. Then, there was Kenny who was hugging Dizzy

and mumbling what sounded like Beyblade commands at her. Max and Hilary had been

outside for an hour and Rei had been watching that whole time. He was hoping to get a

glimpse of a kiss or something.

'I can't just sit here, I can't hear. I'll just move a little bit closer.' Rei said to

himself as he moved closer to the unsuspecting couple.

"No way, Max!" Hilary giggled.

"Oh yes, we did the same thing that you two are doing." Max said with a smile.

"Well, how did you do it with out us noticing?" Hilary asked, becoming very

attentive.

"You remember when I was sick almost every other day about two months ago.

That was when. So I would leave and she would meet me in the park." Max said.

'So Hilary and Max aren't dating? Then who...wait I think I have this

backwards...Max is covering for Hilary and someone else.' Rei thought moving closer

so that he could hear better.

"Well, what did Joseph say when he found out?" Hilary said.

"Well, remember the black eye from the mysterious blader?" Max asked.

"That WAS HIM?!?!?" Hilary gasped.

"He can sure hit hard for a little guy." Max said rubbing his eye in remembrance.

"Then what did he do?" Hilary asked.

"Oh, he let me date her." Max said.

"See, I'm not worried about me. I'm just worried about—"

CREAK-------

"What was that?" Max asked.

"I don't know." Hilary said getting up.

Max got up and walked over to the bushes where the sound came from, "Rei!!!

What are you doing this late?"

"Umm..." Rei just sat on the ground looking dumb, "Drigger flew out the door

and I came out trying to find him."

"Sure. Well, I'm going to go back to sleep." Hilary said yawning and stretching,

"Night guys."

The Next Morning

"Hey where's Hil?" Tyson asked looking up through his food.

"Oh she went home to get something." Max said going back to eating.

"Kai's training again?" Kenny asked.

"I dunno. Does he ever tell anyone? Probably." Max replied once again.

Just then Hilary and Kai happened to walk in the front door.

"Look who I convinced to come back on the way back from home." Hilary said

pointing at Kai.

"Hummph." Kai said leaning against the wall.

"Umm...Hil..." Tyson started.

"What?" Hilary asked smiling.

"Well...your clothes..." Tyson said again.

"What about them?" Hilary asked.

"I think what Tyson is trying to say, is that they seem dis-shelved." Kenny said.

"Huh?" Hilary said her smile fading. Kai looked at Hilary as soon as Kenny said

that, "Well..."
