'Thoughts'

Chapter 2 – Time For A Little Payback

The Bladebreakers had gotten back to Tyson's and were getting ready for bed they were laying the sleeping bags on the floor. Kai placed his next to the wall as far as away from Tyson as possible. Ray laid his close to where Kai was but gave him enough room to suit the lone wolf. Ray sat on top of his sleeping bag and looked at the others. Max and Tyson were sleeping peacefully...well Max at least Tyson was snoring loudly. Ray shook his head, lay down and closed his eyes. Kai had his back turned to the rest of the Bladebreakers he was happy to be here but he couldn't let them know that.

Later that night Kai awoke and sat up hearing some noise from outside. It had starting raining and thunder raged outside. Ray was asleep curled up like a cat.

Unknown to the Bladebreakers two pairs of eyes were watching through the rain. Kai walked to the window and looked out into the rain. Rain pelted against the glass creating a blurry image of the world outside. Kai decided to get some fresh air and opened the sliding door as quietly as he could and stepped out. A small smile appeared on one of the watchers face.

"Right on cue Hiwatari." they said quietly.

Kai looked around sure that he was being watched, he looked out around Tyson's house to see if he could see anything

"Time to go." the other watcher said.

Their partner gave a nod and they disappeared into the night.

Kai felt the feeling go and sighed 'never a moments peace around here.'

It was about five in the morning but Kai decided to get up and give Dranzer a work out. He took a shower first and then started training.

Ray woke up at seven-thirty. And heard a Beyblade outside her knew it would be Kai so he didn't worry. Max awoke soon after only leaving the sleeping Tyson. After changing and hearing a Beyblade outside Max decided to take a walk outside. He saw Ray watching Kai and decided to join him.

"Hey Ray" He greeted and sat next to him

"Hey Max" Ray said smiling at his friend. "Sleep well?"

"With Tyson's Snoring?" he says rhetorically

"Okay point taken," Ray laughed slightly and saw Kai wander out of the gates to Tyson's house. "Looks like Kai would like to be alone already."

Max looks up and sees Kai walking off.

"What's up with him?"

"Whoa he must be sick of us already or maybe just Tyson," Ray said with a chuckle

"Even asleep Tyson manages to annoy Kai" Max says jokingly

"How does he do it?" giggled Ray.

Max laughs along with Ray.

"What are you two laughing about?" a sleepy voice asks.

"Oh nothing Tyson." Smiled Max "But I think breakfast is nearly ready," getting Tyson to think about something food and not what he and Ray were just talking about.

Kai stood on the beach looking around; he had left the other Bladebreakers alone as he needed some time to himself. He was a lone wolf after all. He didn't need them around twenty-four seven. Kai sighed looking across the calm sea. Sitting down crossed legged on the beach he closed his eyes. It was calming sitting here. He had missed it while he had been away.

"It's peaceful here isn't it." a voice said.

Kai opened his eyes and looked around.

"A place where one can gather their thoughts." they continued looking out at the calm and serene sea.

"Who are you?" Kai asked standing up.

The person smiled.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you didn't really want to come back," they said knowing they were right.

Kai folded his arms

"What makes you say that?"

"You're out here aren't you?" the person said, "People only generally come here to get away from places they don't want to be."

"I don't have to explain myself to you.... Whoever you are. I'm here to escape from Tyson. I do want to be here. I wouldn't of come if I didn't. I like being with them but I still need to have to odd brake once in a while. We'd all go crazy if we were with each other all day every day." said Kai angrily.

The person again smiled

"Believe what you like but I know that's not the real reason. Feelings can be a powerful thing, think about it." and with that they left. But what Kai didn't see was the smirk on there face. 'You'll realise soon enough' they thought 'and if not... well let's just say it'll be too bad for you and the others'

Kai thought about it. After another half an hour he decided to head back to Tyson's and see what they were up to. He hoped that Hilary wasn't there he knew how much she liked him and he couldn't be bothered with her gawking at him. Maybe Kenny would be there, he would be happy to see the geek again.

Kai walked through the gates to Tyson's House. Glancing around to see if he could see anybody.

"There you are Kai." Max said in his usual cheerful voice "Ray's been wondering where you were.".

Kai looked at him and smiled a little bit it was hardly noticeable.

"He has?" he looked around for Ray

Ray was sitting by the pond watching the fish. Kai walked over to him and sat down.

"What's up Ray?"

"Oh hey Kai ... oh nothing I was just wondering where you'd gone since we're supposed to be spending time together as a team." Ray said giving Kai a pointed look.

Kai sighed, he was surprised that Tyson wasn't screaming and shouting at someone. But just as he thought that he heard

"Ah come on Maxie you know it was just joke." Whined Tyson

"Spoke to soon." Kai said.

Ray looked at him but understood what he was saying and laughed. Ray then stood up and walked to find out what Tyson had done this time. When he found Tyson and Max he could see that Max was giving Tyson the silent treatment

"What's he done this time Max?"

"Oh... hey Ray." Max says a little surprised.

"Ray will you tell Max to stop ignoring me." Tyson pleads.

"Hmmm..." there was a longish pause before Ray answered. "No" he laughed evilly.

"Ah come on!" Tyson moaned.

"No you brought it on yourself by doing whatever you did."

"I said it was just a joke!"

"Well I didn't find it very funny Tyson." Max said a little angrily.

"What did he do Max?" Ray asked looking confused about what had happened.

Max sighed before answering.

"Lets just say I'm never trusting Tyson with any of my secrets again! You knew I was scared of spiders!" pointing at Tyson.

Ray glared at Tyson.

"That isn't a nice thing to do Tyson I'm sure that Max told you that in faith that you wouldn't play tricks on him with it."

Tyson held up his hand defensibly.

"Hey I'm sorry okay," folding his arms "Geez I didn't think Max would take it so seriously," trying to be the victim.

Max then runs off. Ray glared at Tyson and again and then left him alone to think about what he did.

"I said I was sorry," Tyson mumbled as Ray walked away.

Kai had overheard what had happened. Shaking his head he decided he would go talk to Max, he walked around looking for Max.

"Max are you here?" called out Kai looking for the upset Blonde.

Max stood staring out the sea the wind blowing through the blond hair.

"Stupid Tyson we'll see if I ever trust him again," Max says to himself a little hurt by what Tyson had done.

Kai walked to the docks still looking for Max. Max was still mumbling to himself about how he couldn't believe how Tyson could be that insensitive when he heard Kai calling out his name. He didn't feel like talking at that moment so tried to avoid Kai seeing him or so he hoped. Kai saw him and walked over.

"I know you might not want to talk Max. But we all have to face out fears at some point. Do you want to know what my fear is?" asked Kai looking at him sincerely.

Max looked at Kai in amazement.

'Kai has a fear?' he thought.

"Do you?"

"What is it?" Max asked somewhat amazed.

Kai walked to stand next to him and leaned closer to Max

"Being locked in a small room with Tyson." Kai grinned slightly at that comment.

Max gave a little chuckle. He was right that was a little scary.

"Guess that would scare anyone," Max said with a smile.

Kai nodded.

"It's not that I can't stand Tyson. Its just that I can't stand how he can be so insensitive most of the time," Max explained.

"You'll just have to plan your revenge on him Maxie...I mean Max,"

Max looked out at the water once again. Kai smiled at Max seeing that he was smiling a little.

"Hey Kai you up for a little revenge planning?" Max says with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Always" grinned Kai evilly.

"So how mean do you want to be in this payback," Kai grinned already concocting a plan.

"Let's just say let's see how Tyson likes it," Max said referring to what Tyson had done to him.

"I doubt that Tyson would be scared of Spiders,"

Max shook his head.

"But..." Kai grinned again "What about we kidnap Dragoon and hold him ransom then we can ask for candy or even money?" giggling slightly.

"I love it! -Max says excitedly. "But how are we going to get Dragoon away from Tyson? He always has him with him even when he sleeps!"

"Leave that to me," said Kai grinning again evilly.
