Chapter Four

In Tyson's eyes, it seemed like a routine that he magically came up with once he started to argue with Kai. Walking down an empty hallway until he cooled down - or at least until he was able to come up with a reasonable explanation of why his lover didn't want to tell everyone.

"Stupid Kai... doesn't want to commit... what's his deal anyway!?" murmured Tyson, obviously agitated.

So many questions popped into his head; some good, and some bad. The list in his head became so long to the point where he lost all track of how many pros and cons there were of the situation. Shaking his head brusquely, Tyson couldn't help but regret his harsh words to the older boy. He would never cheat on him, and he didn't know what possessed him to say so. It all seemed too confusing. Now he understood why Hiro always said that having a relationship with a rebel was hard. You couldn't get them to tell a single soul about their relationship!

Looking up at the ceiling, Tyson blew out his breath. I've got to tell Kai I'm sorry... but... what if he doesn't forgive me? I'll loose him forever! Avoid him? No - he'd say later on, "We need to talk", and that's just bad! Man, relationships are hard...!

Without really looking where he was going, he all of a sudden bumped into someone, both of them on their bums in a matter of seconds. Holding his head, Tyson heard the faint words of a female hollering at him to watch where he was heading. Focusing his eyes on the girl to apologize, he was ultimately surprised when he focused his eyes on Hilary.

"Hi-Hilary?"

Shaking her brown hair lively, Hilary focused her eyes on Tyson, "Ty-Tyson?! Sorry! I didn't know it was you - or I would have yelled a little more!"

Standing up, and offering his hand to his fallen comrade, the boy shrugged, "Meh... I'm sorry too... I wasn't really looking where I was going."

"Ah... were the gears grinding too hard?" asked the inquisitive girl.

Grabbing his hand, Tyson pulled her up, and gave her a confusing look, like he had no idea what she was getting at.

Sighing out, Hilary continued, "It just seems like you're thinking of something pretty deep. Is something troubling you?"

Breaking eye contact, Tyson gazed at the pale blue tiles. He automatically decided that Hilary couldn't help him, even if she had the experience. Glancing sadly at her friend, Hilary roughly grabbed Tyson by the wrist and yanked him into a nearby, empty room to talk.

Making sure to lock the door behind them, the brunette looked over to see the midnight haired boy leaning against the teal wall, completely depressed, and knew that whatever was troubling him, she'd be the one to help him. Hilary stood beside him, and leaned her back against the wall in a similar manner, hoping Tyson would be the one to start things off. Sighing heavily, Hilary started off,

"I know something's bothering you Tyson. It's written all over you, and you're making it pretty damn obvious. I mean, the usually Tyson I know is cheerful, and very spirited. The way you are now, I think anyone can just tell."

Shifting slightly, the boy stayed quiet for a few moments, thinking of how to explain the confusing situation. With his eyes still casted upon the floor, Tyson asked quietly,

"You know Andrew... right?"

"Sort of." Came the reply.

"Well... he's having major relationship problems... and he asked me what I thought. Obviously I couldn't answer, seeing as I'm not in any sort of relationship right now."

A small smile graced the brunette's lips, "Hmm-hmmm...?"

"And I- I mean he - doesn't know what to do. See... they've been sneaking around recently, and the girl Andrew's seeing doesn't want anyone to know about the two. He really wants to tell his friends, but she doesn't; and he's not sure whether they should break up."

Placing a gentle hand on the boy's shoulder, Hilary asked, "Well... does Andrew really care about her?"

Blue hair bounced for an answer, and a quite sound came from him. Hilary continued, "Then they shouldn't break up. Just tell him to wait until she feels ready to tell. With all the sneaking around they've been doing, they may be feeling many burdens, but when the two confess about their relationship - things will get better, and the burdens will go away. So just tell him to be patient! After all, love isn't always about agreeing to everything."

Tyson raised his head to look Hilary in the eye. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought Hilary could give such great advice! And to boot, she said it in such a way that he understood! To him, it was like Hilary knew about him and Kai, and knew exactly what to say! Tyson ultimately decided that if he had anymore relationship problems, Hilary would be the friend to call! After all, she seemed experienced in the ways of love!

Grinning, Tyson ran to the door and twirled to face his female friend, "Thanks Hilary! I'll be sure to tell Andrew!"

A smile made it's way onto Hilary's face as a reply. Ready to open the door, her voice stopped him once last time, "Oh Tyson?"

"Yeah?"

Looking at the ceiling with approval of her words, Hilary continued, "Tell Kai that I said hello!"

"Rei! Where the heck are you dragging me?! I mean, seriously! It's only right to tell me what's going on before anyone else!" called a voice.

Rei chuckled, "Still as impatient as always Maxie! And anyway, I told you that we're heading to the Blitzkreig Boy's room first to get them! This is an announcement, so everyone has to be present!"

"Bah... can't you give me a sneak peak of what you're planning to tell everyone?!" whined Max, pulling out his weapon of the puppy dog eyes.

Rei stuck his tongue out playfully, "You'll just have to wait! And the puppy dog eyes don't work on me! They work on Kenny!"

"Oh yeah..."

Both companions turned the last corner to their destination, and Rei forcefully banged on the door, an obvious demand to open it. Tala peaked his head out, and smiled,

"Ah.. Rei, and Max! What are you doing here?"

A bright smile covered Rei's face, "I need to talk to everyone right away in BBA Revolution's team room! It's very important!"

Tala opened the door further, "You guys heard it! We're heading to BBA Revolution's room!"

Kai, who was sitting cross-legged with his arms folded, and eyes closed, thought, What is so important that Rei needs to see everyone?

The red-head smirked and slapped his partner's back playfully, "C'mon Kai! If you're old teammate needs to talk, I suggest we all go now!"

Turning to Tala, Kai glared darkly, who was still not completely forgiven. Tala backed off a bit, He's still mad? Doesn't he get that I was only playing? Even a Blitzkreig Boy needs some fun!

Rei lead the way to the other room, telling his followers that the other teams were already there, and waiting. As the rest walk in, Max announced cheerfully that the great king Max had arrived, which was then followed by a smartass remark from Rick. Rei patted Max's back to get him to sit down, saying that after his announcement, Max can argue with Rick.

Mumbling incoherent words to his former teammate, Max chose a seat next to Hilary, and whispered something in her ear. It was obvious that the two had recently become a couple, and Tyson knew that he'd give anything to do the same thing with Kai.

Tyson glanced to his lover, who had his back against the wall, folded his arms, and closed his eyes. Sensing that someone was watching him, Kai looked to the midnight-haired boy, and looked longingly into his eyes.

Today's the day, Tyson! I think I'm finally ready! After Rei, I'll just say I have to make an announcement, and I'll tell everyone! I don't care about what the hell they'll think... all that matters is that I love you! So just wait a few, okay?

Clearing his voice, Rei motioned for Tyson to come and stand beside him. Shrugging, Tyson did what he was told, and Rei slipped an arm around Tyson's slim waist. Kai magenta eyes widened.

"I just want to tell you Tyson... that I want to be by your side." stated Rei, looking into Tyson's eyes.

In unison, voices echoed, "Huh?"

"Like Kouga from Inu-Yasha said to Kagome, 'You are my mate!'"

It seemed like an earthquake has just hit when everyone's jaw hit the floor at the same time. But in the seconds that it took for Rei to confess his love for Tyson, the Chinese blader was thrust upon the wall, and was forced to gaze into dark, murdering magenta depths. His gold eyes revealed fear, and the room was deathly quiet.

"I'd take that back if I where you, Kon!" said an angered Kai.

Rei tripped over his words, attempting to find his voice, "Wha-?!"

"Kai! Put Rei down! What's your trauma?!" roared Hilary, obviously peeved.

Lifting Rei a little bit higher, he burned out, "Understand this: Tyson is taken! He will never be yours!"

Blinking in confusion, Rei replied, "What do you mean?"

"No one touches what belongs to me, understand?" roared the duel-haired boy, "And if you need a simpler explanation, here it is: Tyson is mine!"

Eyes widened at the sudden burst of words, except for Tala's. He placed his index finger to his chin, and smiled,

I knew Rei couldn't resist telling everyone how he felt about Tyson! And to boot, it was to the advantage of Kai! I should start up a love hotline! Yeah! I see it now: Tala's Looove Hotline! Come to Tala to seek ways of proclaiming your love! It'll be something great! And I'll make tons of money! Go me!

Tyson stood bewildered to Kai's burst, and as he came back to reality, his eyes softened greatly, and he smiled. The young boy breathed his lover's name, but it all came crashing down when realization kicked in. Tyson walked to where Kai still had Rei by the collar and poked his shoulder. Looking to him, Kai gazed into deadly looking midnight eyes,

"What the hell do you mean, I belong to you?!" roared Tyson, obviously irritated at being classified as an object.

Dropping Rei from where he was in the air, Kai wrapped his long, muscular arms around Tyson, and placed his lips against Tyson's forehead,

"You know what I mean."

As a reply, Tyson simply snuggled up to Kai, and placed his hands on the older boy's shoulders. Pulling back, the two shared a gentle kiss, which was commented by Max and Hilary with their awes.

Tala stood beside Rei, and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, buddy! You'll find your own Tyson out there somewhere!"

Looking at the spot where Rei once stood, Tala looked around to find Rei flirting shamelessly with Hiro,

"So... Hiro..." The Chinese boy started off, "You busy Saturday night?"

A loud groan from Hiro replied, "Oh god..."

The redhead sauntered over, "What? No period of morning?"

Rei shook his head, "Well, you said for me to find my own Tyson, so, I came up wit the next best thing! His cute ass brother! So, Hiro, are you?"

Hiro hid his face, "Go away, Rei...! I am not like Tyson! I'm just his brother! And I'm not interested in dating men! Are you even listening to me?!"

Rei replied with hearts in his eyes, "Oh! Sorry, I wasn't listening! Where you saying something?"
