(Dances) Chapter two is now viewable! What a surprise! I rarely send in chapter fics, let alone write them! Thanks for all of your support, dudes! Also, I added a lil' bit of one-sided yaoi. Why? 'Cause it's fun to torment the character that will be later mentioned! Mwaha! So yeah, if you don't like the pairing, please don't run! It's only one-sided! Oh, and this take place during season three, in the middle of the world championships!

Warning: Some Tyson x Rei, but don't worry! It's only temporary! Don't run!

Chapter Two

"I can't believe him!" Tyson growled, stomping out the room. "He just danced all around the subject, like it meant nothing! Damn it!"

Five minutes had passed by before Tyson left the room that him and Kai spent over twenty minutes in. It seemed as though the great titan of Earth was shaking the ground as Tyson stomped through the halls, grumbling incoherent words to his lover. As he pounded his feet onto the pale blue tile, the midnight hair boy found himself walking through the halls trying to calm down before appearing before his friends. Tyson stopped, and blew out his breath. Did Kai not understand what this meant to him? He had too! There couldn't be any excuses!

As Tyson slowly, but surely, worked himself up into another fit of anger, a set of arms wrapped themselves around his slim waist – allowing their hands to glide across his stomach. The dragon leaned back into the embrace, figuring it to be his Kai.

"No matter what you say or do, Kai, I won't forgive you; you jerk!"

Turning his head slightly to face the one behind him, Tyson found himself staring into a pair of golden, yet slightly dilated, eyes. His midnight eyes widened as well, and a nervous grin appeared upon his face,

"R-Rei!" began the smaller boy. "I knew it was you! I was only kidding! Just wanted to see your reaction! Ha-ha!"

A sly grin appeared on the boy's face, baring his fangs slightly. Gently, he tipped his head to rest comfortably on his prisoner's shoulder and whispered, "That's good. I wouldn't want to have anyone else share you, after all."

"Huh?" mumbled Tyson, looking as clueless as always.

Before another word was said, the door to the nearest room opened wide, revealing a small shadow.

The owner of the shadow called out, "Yeah… alright Kenny! I'll find the dumbass; don't get your shorts in a knot!"

As both of the boys looked at the door, Rei quickly unwrapped his arms from around his captive and glared in the direction of the door. Tyson made the obvious observation that he must have walked to his team's room without noticing, and now they were looking for him. Rei straightened his back and continued to stand behind Tyson, not wanting to cause any suspicions.

The second Daichi emerged from the room, he turned to face Tyson and Rei, who, to him, looked like they were talking about something. His eyes glinted, and he grinned evilly, thinking he knew what was going on. Tyson blinked a few times, in wonderment about Daichi's train of thought, while his partner narrowed his eyes on the younger one.

"So Tyson; you finally found your way back! 'Bout time!" hollered Daichi.

A sigh escaped the dragon's mouth, "Yeah yeah… what is it?"

"Kenny wants to talk battle strategy with you and the runt!" spoke Hilary, who poked her head from the doorway. "Oh! Hi Rei!" Advancing towards them to stand beside Daichi, Hilary continued, "Is something up?"

A tiny smile graced Rei's lips, and he placed his hands on his waist. "Just wanted to wish the world champ good luck, is all!" Rei patted Tyson's back, "Good luck!"

"Uh… thanks…" replied Tyson, giving Rei a slightly puzzled look.

"What's going on? I'm always out of the loop!" hollered a third voice, which belonged to Kenny. He noticed the Chinese boy and smiled. "Hey Rei…I'm thirsty! Can you get me a glass of water while I talk battle strategy with Tyson and Daichi?"

Narrowing his eyes on the self-proclaimed nerd, Rei shrugged and answered, "Well, seeing as I owe you one from a year ago, alright; I'll do it."

As the older one walked off, Kenny called out, "Oh! I'm not thirsty anymore! Thanks anyway!"

"Chief!" exclaimed Rei, tripping in the process. "You're suppose to say that after I get you the stickin' drink!"

Theatrically, Kenny stepped back three steps, held his arms as a shield in front of his face and fell to the floor before saying rather melodramatically, "I… I can't believe I botched that up…! And I'm suppose to be a genius!"

Patting Kenny's back, Hilary sighed out, "It's okay Kenny! You'll get your revenge sooner or later!"

Turning to his female friend, glasses of tears poured down from his eyes. "You really think so, Hilary?"

"Of course she doesn't!" abruptly stated Daichi, "The old hag is just saying that, Brainiac!"

Shocked at the response, Kenny slumped back to the room, while Hilary tended to Daichi, pulling his tanned cheeks.

"What did you say?!" she all but roared.

"You heard me!"

"Why you lil'-"

As the two fought, Rei walked towards Tyson one last time, and he placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, making the midnight hair boy turn to face him. "Tyson…"

"Yeah, Rei?"

"We'll continue this later, okay?"

Unbeknownst to Tyson, Rei meant the 'blooming' relationship between the two. Rei must mean about the upcoming matches…

"Sure! I'd like that!"

Rei smiled once more, baring his fangs before walking off. Tyson waved goodbye with a smile on his face, not suspecting Rei was hitting on him…

"Stop it, you old buzzard! Damn you!" hollered Daichi, who was in a Hilary-specialty-headlock.

Walking towards his team room, the holder of Dranzer passed a nearby mirror, quickly tiding up his hair and appearance in general. I can't risk anyone finding out about Tyson and me… not that I'm ashamed of him or anything… I'm just not ready to reveal that I actually have a…a soft side…

Finally feeling ready to face his new teammates, Kai stuffed his hands in his pockets as he walked in, and put on his game face. If he didn't, Tala and the others would surely suspect something.

"You're late. Did you forget how to use the toilet?" questioned Tala, a hint of amusement on his face.

"No," Kai huffed, while picking up a glass of water. "That would be Max's specialty. Not mine."

"I'm only asking. No need to get all grouchy, Kai. By the way, have you seen your old teammate, Tyson?" asked Tala, leaning his head onto his hand.

A fit of coughing began on Kai's side of the room once the question came up, as it had become obvious that he abruptly spit out the mouthful of water he had in. Kai violently thrust his fist to his chest, attempting to stop the coughing and to rid the remaining water from his throat. Holding a hand to the base of his neck, he quickly regained his composure before turning to his teammate,

"What the hell do you mean?! I haven't seen him! And if I did – which I didn't – I wouldn't know where he is!"

Slightly startled at Kai's outburst, Bryan and Spencer turned to the duel-hair boy with their eyes slightly widened. The once team captain looked at his new teammate suspiciously before continuing,

"Just asking. You've been getting edgy since the tournament started – are you trying to hide something?"

Attempting to take another sip of his water, Kai shifted uncomfortably. "No, I'm not, Tala," he stated firmly before irritably adding, "and since when have I needed to justify my actions?"

The red head grinned, knowing he hit a few buttons. "You never had too, Kai. I was only asking."

And if I'm right, it has something to do with that young boy…

To be continued…
