Aouni: I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I've just been really busy with school, 4 projects all due on the same week! I swear teachers are evil.

Aouni Darkstar: Maybe it is just your lack of competence.

Aouni: Whatever. Well, anyway, I promised you guys a Tyka-ish chapter, and this is it. I think. I was never very good at anything even remotely romantic, so please bear with me.

Aouni Darkstar: Pathetic. You should let me write it...

Aouni: Well, if I did that then I'd have to make the rating WAY higher.

Tyson: What's that supposed to mean? *suddenly realizes* AAAHH! I'm traumatized for life!

Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade or any of its characters. If I did then every episode would be TYKA!!!!!!

Tyson and Kai: 0.0U

Aouni Darkstar: Get on with the story or else I will write it! *grins evilly*

----------------------------------------

Chapter Six:

Kai glared at the ostrich. He had been wandering around the zoo area of the park for what had seemed like hours, and he hadn't found Rei. Possibly the heat had gotten to him, but he now blamed it all on the ostrich.

It was all the ostrich's fault!

Although, if you had asked him to explain exactly why the ostrich was to blame, Kai would most likely have stared back blankly.

"What ostrich?"

"The one you're attempting to strangle," replied the security guard.

"Oh this ostrich! This is an evil ostrich."

The security guard gave the boy a funny look, but his attention was immediately diverted.

"EEK! The moose are free!"

"Save us! They'll eat us all!

"Stupid ostrich!"

The security guard whipped around to discover that the face-painted boy was now accusing the ostrich for 'being in league with Him'. He decided it was high time he called a mental institution.

Of course, by the time the security guard had begun to dial the number, Kai had vanished from sight. Rei had to be around here somewhere...

/MEANWHILE/

"Max! Tyson! You've gotta save me!"

The two boys turned around to discover their small nerdy friend running towards them.

"What's up Chief?" asked Tyson.

"It's the clowns! They're coming back to haunt me..."

Max and Tyson exchanged glances. Apparently Kenny had also gone nuts.

"Uh, well, this isn't a circus Kenny," said Max gently, "There's no clowns here."

"That's what I thought too! But I was wrong! They ARE here, and they're schemeing in their little den right now! Plotting the ultimate demise of mankind!"

"Um...." Max was lost for words.

"Isn't that Voltaire's job?" asked Tyson in a generally unconcerned manner, "Let's get something to eat, I'm starved!"

"Tyson!" cried Max, "You just ate two hours ago!"

"Two hours is a long time, Max my boy, and I'm starved!"

"What about the clowns?!" screeched Kenny, and at that point he ran off hysterically.

"Kenny! Wait," shouted Max, chasing after him.

Tyson proceeded to follow, but a strong hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Come with me," snapped a familiar cold voice, "We have to find Rei."

"Hey Kai! I have something for you!"

Kai gave him a very odd look for a moment, but it was gone so fast that Tyson was sure he had imagined it.

"Later, we need to find Rei."

Tyson pulled out the stuffed puppy held it in front of Kai, "See?"

Kai didn't see. "Get that thing out of my face!"

Tyson was crushed, "You don't like it?"

Kai had no idea what Tyson was talking about, although it suddenly crossed his mind that he had made the younger boy very sad, "Don't like what?" he asked gently.

"This," said Tyson a little more hopefully, holding out the dog. Maybe Kai did like it after all, and then he would finally get to see Kai smile...

Kai was clueless. "Yeah, whatever, it's nice. Let's go. Tyson?"

"You really don't like it?"

"I said it was nice! Let's go, before Rei frees more animals."

"Yeah, but you didn't ... I just thought it would make you happy..."

"That's supposed to be for me?"

"Well, yeah," said Tyson, a little hopeful again.

Kai was suddenly very uncomfortable. He didn't even like stuffed animals, of course, if he said so, Tyson would be unhappy and... he didn't want that.

"Well... it's very... nice..."

Tyson looked disappointed, "You don't like it then?"

Kai was starting to feel really guilty, "I do," he knelt down and gave Tyson a hug, which to say the least shocked the younger boy, "It's nice, okay? We need to go find Rei before he sets the other half of the zoo free."

Tyson was still in a state of shock, but it was all interrupted when Kenny crashed into him.

"The clowns are going to get me!" he wailed.

Kai stared, "What the hell?"

"He's terrified of clowns," explained Max, "He thinks they're plotting the domination of mankind."

"No, that's Voltaire he's thinking of," replied Tyson.

"Voltaire's a clown?" Kenny whimpered, "Yes... it all makes sense now..."

"My gra-Voltaire is NOT a clown. Lunatic, yes. Clown, no."

"He is! Tyson just said so! Besides, that would explain why he's evil... All clowns are evil!" Kenny began to run around in circles.

Kai sighed defeatedly, "Let's go, we need to find Rei."

"THE TIGERS! THE TIGERS ARE GOING TO EAT US!"

"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

"I want my money back!

"Who set the tigers free?"

"HELP ME!"

The four teenagers stared at the panicked crowd. Sure enough, there were tigers running around park, along with wolves, moose, monkeys and –

"STUPID OSTRICHES!"

Max, Tyson and Kenny turned to stare at the oldest boy.

"Um, Kai?" asked Max tentatively.

"What?"

"Do you have a thing against ostriches or something?"

"I thought Kai liked birds..."

"I don't have anything against ALL ostriches. Just THOSE ostriches."

They all stared at him.

"Ooookay," said Max.

"This is the clowns doing..." moaned Kenny.

"No, it's Rei's doing, and when I get my hands on him..." Kai made a particularly violent gesture which left all three younger boys staring in shock.

Kai glared.

"Poor Rei..." said Max softly.

-------------------------------------- Aouni: Yes. It's really crappy. I forgot most of my good ideas over the school week... ^-^U

Aouni Darkstar: Meh, you only have 35 reviews. Had I been writing this story, I would have hundreds.

Aouni: Yeah right. Wait... 35? OMG! *faints*

Bladbreakers: -_-U

Tyson: Not again...

Reviews: To all reviewers – ^-^ Thanks for reviewing !! ^-^

Sonya-Hiwatari – I don't actually know how Rei got in the tiger pen... maybe I should make that up for the next chapter. Clowns have scared me since last year. We did a school play about scary singing clowns! They were freaky...

EvilS – That's a good question. What is Rei smoking? But whatever it is, I want some! Just kidding. Y'know, Tyson and Max should do that... but only after Kai kills Rei and the ostriches. As for how I write so many chappies, the only conclusion I can come up with is that I have no life... Well, it was easter last weekend, which helped.

tenshi208 – Aouni Darkstar: 'Aouni' (who stole my name!) could never write a true Tyka. You must convince her to let me write. Then you would have nice Tyka lemons to enjoy. Aouni: Since when are you allowed to answer my reviews?! Bad girl! Bad! Stupid drow. Anyways, I hope this chappie was Tyka enough ^^

TechnoRanma – Yes, I don't know if Kai thinks it's cute... but he'd better.

FORFIRITH-on-a-sugar-high – Thanks ^^ It'll be harder to update now that I'm back at school though.

Enchanted Crimson Rose – You act like Kai in public too? Good, now I can tell my friends I'm not the only one! They can't say I'm crazy now! Well, actually, I guess they can, but they're wrong! Well, Kai didn't like his gift, but he does like it because he likes Tyson and Tyson wants him to like it. That didn't make any sense...

Bloody Mary – Yes poor Kai. It's so enjoyable to torture him, isn't it? Kai: Freaks! Aouni: Clowns eating people? I'm gonna have nightmares now...

FireieGurl – I hope it's Tyka, I'm no good with romance.

Aouni: Thanks for your reviews... I'm so happy now...

Aouni Darkstar: You're lack of backbone is disgusting!
