'Thoughts'
Chapter 1 – A Team Get Together.
It had been six months since the mess with the Cyber Bit-Beasts. Kai had gone back to school and had been training with Wyatt. Wyatt had come a long way. He was better now the encounter with the Cyber Bit-Beast had scared him mentally but Kai had helped him get through it. Wyatt was a great blader.
'Still not as good as me but I'll let him off for that' thought Kai as he sat at the beach.
He was supposed to be meeting up with the rest of the Bladebreakers. But after his flight he needed some fresh air. Besides he needed to prepare himself for Tyson. Tyson was loud and annoying. Kai found it hard to put up with him for long spaces of time. But he was sure that he could get over it, seems as they hadn't seen each other in a while. Kai's bags were being delivered to Tyson's now. But Kai had decided to wait a little before he went to there. Ray and Max were already here and Kai had gotten a later flight but hadn't wanted them to meet him at the airport. Kai sighed closing his eyes relaxing because of the quiet around him, he wondered how long it would last though.
"There you are Kai." Tyson said walking towards him "Mr. D said you were here why didn't you come over. Max and Ray are already here." Kai cringed slightly at the sound of Tyson's voice.
Kai felt a headache starting as soon as he heard Tyson.
"I needed some air... and some quiet" Kai stood and looked at him
"Oh right." Tyson said feeling a little embarrassed that he interrupted Kai's privacy "I'll leave you alone then." walking back towards his place.
Kai felt sorry for Tyson he always seemed to be annoyed whenever he was around, he just didn't know why
He caught up with Tyson and walked back with him, he thought it was about time that he saw the others. There was an uncomfortable silence on the way back neither one of them knowing what to say. Kai decided to try and start a conversation.
"Hey Tyson ... How's erm... Grandpa?" asked Kai feeling strange to be making conversation with Tyson.
Tyson knew he annoyed Kai and so decided not to say anything that was until Kai decided to try and start a conversation. Tyson looked at him in surprise.
'Kai? Making conversation? Now that's weird.'
"He's... uh fine thanks Kai." Replied Tyson still in shock.
"Good... What about you ...and Dragoon? I hope you've kept training?"
Tyson couldn't help but smile at that remark.
"Yea we're fine also thanks. What about you and Dranzer... and I think I don't even need to ask about your training." knowing that if there was one thing Kai wouldn't skip on it was his training.
"I not as lazy as you Tyson, Dranzer and I are stronger than ever."
"That's good... nice to see you haven't changed Kai." Tyson joked a little.
Kai glared but kept on walking Tyson sighed as he noticed the glare Kai sent his way.
'I'm doing it again. How comes I can annoy people so easily? Max never seems to annoy anyone.' Tyson wonders as they continue walking
Kai stopped and looked up as Tyson walked through the gates of his home. Kai liked this place, maybe because it was a Dojo as well. Kai wondered if Grandpa would try and get him to take lessons again. It wasn't just that. Kai knew how hyper Max could get sometimes and he didn't want to get hopped on by him. Kai grinned slightly at that thought. Max would probably know better than to do that to him.
"Hey Tyson there you are, where'd you disappear off to?" Max asks as Tyson walks in
"I went to see if I could find Kai." Replied Tyson.
Ray looked up hopeful.
"Did you find him?" he asked looking to see if he was there.
"Yeah he's..." Tyson turned back only to see Kai was no longer behind him. "Hey where'd he go?"
Kai was talking to grandpa who was trying to get him to sign up for lessons at the Dojo. Kai was shaking his head but Grandpa wasn't really listening
"Looks like your grandpa got to him first." Max joked laughing slightly.
Ray decided he would step in and save Kai from that fate worse than death by grabbing Kai and dragging him off.
"Hey...." was all Kai could say as he was grabbed and dragged towards the others.
Max gave a little chuckle and Tyson smiled at Ray's action, Kai straighten himself out and looked at the others.
"Sorry about that Kai, Grandpa's been pouncing on anyone who walks in," said Tyson scratching the back of his head.
"Hmmm I think I'm kinda used to it now." said Kai smiling slightly at his friends.
Tyson and Max gave a small smile back.
"So what do ya all wanna do now that we're all here" Tyson says.
"How about we train so I can see if you lot have been slacking," grinned Kai
"Why did I have a feeling he was going to say that." Max moans his shoulders slumping a bit.
"That's Kai you Max, the guy who knows how not to have fun." Tyson remarked
Kai laughs and then walks out.
"How about we go for pizza or maybe go see the Chief."
He knew that would shock them because he is usually so serious. He heard their jaws hit the floor and laughed to himself as he continued to walk. Glancing over his shoulder he saw stunned faces all round.
"K-Kai you serious?" Max stutters.
"Man talk about a change in personality." Tyson says walking after Kai with Ray and Max in tow.
Kai knew that this would only be for tonight tomorrow he would be his usual grumpy self but who cared.
"Come then lets go," Tyson says running out the gate. "Last one to the pizza place is a rotten egg."
"That'll be you then Tyson." Max replies running after him.
Ray jogged after them sighing.
Along the way Tyson and Max played a couple of jokes on Kai and Ray as well as each other.
Then Tyson said quietly to Max.
"Hey Max I gotta idea"
"What's that Tyson?"
"How about we scare the daylights out of the two grumps over there." referring to Ray & Kai.
Max nods in agreement and they both go off to hide somewhere.
Kai notices that Max and Tyson are plotting something and warns Ray. Who smiles and decides to scare them instead. Tyson and Max were hiding round the corner of a building ready to jump out at Ray and Kai.
Kai and Ray ran round the long way and sneaked up behind Tyson and Max. They both stood quietly behind them waiting for the two to turn around and see them.
"Man what's taking them so long?" Tyson complains.
"Uh...Tyson do you feel like we're being watched?" Max asks uncomfortably.
"What are you talking' about Max?" looking round the corner to see where Ray and Kai had got to.
"Who you looking for" Kai asked loudly.
Both Max and Tyson jump a mile in the air upon hearing Kai's voice. Ray and Kai laugh and continue on their way.
"Hey no fair! We were supposed to scare you!" Tyson complains following them to the pizza place.
Kai and Ray arrived at the pizza place first. Max however was still resting against the wall trying to slow his heart down from the shock.
"Come on Max we'll get them later." Tyson says looking back at Max.
"Right only next time lets make sure they don't know what we're doing. Otherwise I might have a heart attack."
Tyson chuckles as they both catch up with the two at the pizza place. Kai had ordered the food and paid. They settle down to eat their pizzas.
"Hey Max bet I can eat more pizza than you." Tyson challenges.
"Bet you can't," retorted Max and then they start their 'contest'.
Kai sighed slightly he hadn't missed this much. He had missed being part of the team and having them around when they were in the tournaments. He had gone back to school some of the kids asking for his autograph and others wanting him to train them. He had seen Wyatt a few times he was better now and had given Kai a run for his money.
"So Kai what have you been up to lately?" Tyson asks his mouth full of pizza while trying to get rid of the silence that was around them. If there was one he hated it was silence, it was also the reason he was so loud. So he could drown out the silence.
"Not much really just helping Wyatt get better," replied Kai.
"How is he anyway?" Max asks thankfully swallowing his food before speaking.
"He's better now and he told me to say hi to you guys for him," Kai smiled talking about him, he was glad that he was okay.
"What about you Ray? Been up to much?" Tyson asks again his mouth full of pizza.
"Not really just been keeping the peace with the White Tigers," Ray said thinking of his village
"How are they doing? We haven't seen them since the world tournament." Max asked
"Fine. They've gotten stronger," said Ray smiling "Although they had a few choice words for me when I went home"
After stuffing themselves with Pizza Tyson led the way to Kenny's house.
"Come on guys its this way." Tyson says
Ray and Kai followed Kai stayed quiet for the moment. Ray knew that he did have lots to say but obviously he didn't want to talk at this minute. They all walked along the streets following Tyson in a comfortable silence no one quite knowing what to say. Soon they reached Kenny's. Ray knocked on the door
"Do you think he's in?" Max asked looking through one of the windows of Kenny's house
"Doesn't seem like it does it," sighed Ray it would have been nice to see him.
"Well so much for that idea anyone know what else we can do?" Tyson asked
"Not really." Said Max.
They all sighed and decided that they would hit the sack early. They all walk back to Tyson's.
