a/n: For all you who wanted to know who the intruder was...
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Kai's scream mixed with the intruder's and for a second they just stood there, petrified. Yami and the others couldn't move. They couldn't even scream; their vocal cords seemed to have frozen.
Suddenly everything was quiet. Everyone stared at each other for a few seconds before Kai's piercing voice sounded.
"/Carlos Trevino!/" she screamed, taking a few long strides over to him. Kai started hitting her friend wherever she could reach. "You moron! What's wrong with you?"
"Ow! Stop! Hey! I'm sorry! Cut that out! That hurts!" Carlos cried, backing up, trying to get away from Kai.
"You idiot! You scared us all out of our minds! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Kai exclaimed, still pounding Carlos.
Tea came out from under the bed and backed up with the others. The five of them just watched for a few seconds while Kai pummeled her best friend in fury.
Yami was the first to come out of the trance. He began to chuckle, resulting in Joey starting to laugh. Tristan followed suit and then Tea and Bakura. Soon they were all laughing at Kai's furious intent on seriously hurting Carlos.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack!" she screamed at him.
"Kai! Will you stop it!" Carlos grabbed her wrist and she swung at him with the other one.
"You idiot! Were you trying to kill me?" Kai cried, smacking him in the head.
Carlos managed to grab her other wrist and hold her away from him. "Calm down! You're going to kill /me/!"
Breathing heavily, Kai glared at him. "You are such a jerk, did you know that?" she snarled.
"Well, I do now. Thank you for clarifying that," Carlos said as she ripped herself from his grip. Yami saw a grin flit across Carlos' face as Kai turned her back on him.
Kai stopped directly in front of Yami and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. He stared at her curiously as she opened her eyes.
"There isn't a word to describe what you are!" she said, turning back to Carlos and pointing at him. "I could call you all the names in the world and it wouldn't be good enough!"
"Well, then, save yourself the trouble," Carlos replied, back to his quick witted self.
"Oooh! You make me so mad!" Kai said, turning once more and storming out of the room.
Carlos had just humiliated her in front of her new friends. It was times like these that she didn't understand why he was her best friend.
Yami chuckled as Kai pushed past him through her bedroom door. She sure had attitude.
"Hey! Get back here!" Carlos said, pushing past Yami as well, though more forcefully. "I wanted to talk to you!"
"Oh I'll talk to you all right!" Kai said, turning on her heel, making him stop dead in his tracks slightly more than an inch away from her. She jabbed a finger into his chest and he grinned.
"I simply wanted to..." he started, but Kai interrupted.
"Wanted to what?" she said. Though she still glared at him, her tone was becoming lighter.
"You do know what tomorrow is, right?" he asked, grinning at her.
"Um, Thursday?" she asked, confused.
"The date, Kai. What /date/ is tomorrow?"
"I don't know, why?" she asked, removing her finger from his chest.
"The fourth of July," he said, looking at her like she was insane. "You know, Independence Day?"
"I know what the fourth of July is you moron," she said, hitting him in the arm.
"Well? I came over to ask if you wanted to watch the fireworks with me tomorrow night," Carlos said.
Yami and the others had come into the hall and were watching as well as listening.
"You wanted to know if I wanted to watch the fireworks," Kai repeated. "So you came in without knocking and scared the pants off me and my friends."
"I did knock!" Carlos protested. "But you didn't hear me. And you forgot to lock the door, so I just let myself in. I didn't mean to scare you. But it was pretty funny," he said, grinning as Kai hit him in the head.
"You snake!" she said, though she was now grinning as well. "Okay, fine. I'll watch the fireworks with you tomorrow, but they can come too." Kai pointed over Carlos' shoulder at the gang and he followed her finger.
"Right, sure," he said. Tea thought she noticed a slight change in his tone however.
"Good. Now, it's two in the afternoon. What are we doing now?" Kai asked.
"I don't know. What do you want to do?" Carlos asked.
"I hate it when you do this!" Kai said, rolling her eyes and going over to the couch. She dropped onto it and put her feet up on the coffee table.
"I know. Isn't it great?" he said, plopping down beside her and flinging an arm around her shoulders.
Yami and the others filtered into the room and took seats on the couch and in the chair. Yami and Joey were left to stand though.
"You're crazy," was Kai's reply.
"It takes one to know one," Carlos said smoothly with a grin. Kai hit him in the head.
"You two are really something," Tea said with a shake of her head.
"Hey I know! Why don't we show your friends what you can... mpff!" Kai slapped a hand over her friend's mouth.
"Shut up!" she hissed dangerously.
Carlos licked her hand in reply.
"Eeeew! Carlos! You are so gross!" she screamed, wiping her hand on his shirt. Carlos began to crack up as Kai's wiping turned to hitting.
"Hey! Okay, okay, I get it! I'm sorry!" Carlos cried, pushing her away. "Come on stop it!"
She hit him once more in the back of the head before folding her arms across her chest.
"I have an idea! Why don't you leave!" Kai said with fake enthusiasm.
"Aww come on!" Carlos replied, putting an arm around her again. "You know you love me."
Kai yetched and pushed him away. "The only one who'd love you is your mother!"
Carlos pursed his lips and pretended to kiss her, earning himself another smack in the head. "Gee wiz you're violent!" he exclaimed, rubbing his head.
"I learned from the best," she replied dryly, scooting away from him towards Tea.
"Oh! Hey! I'm not violent! At least, not like that!" Carlos protested.
"Aren't we interesting?" Kai asked Tea sarcastically.
Tea just grinned and stared at her friend like she was from another planet.
"Come on!" Carlos exclaimed, reaching for Kai, who jumped up from the couch. "You're not getting away that fast!" He leaped after her and after a few seconds of struggling, managed to wrap his arms around her waist from behind and prevent her from moving.
Kai stopped moving for a second, then stomped on his foot, making the rest of the room erupt into laughter.
"Yoooww!" He exclaimed, letting go of her. "You're gonna' pay for that!" he cried as Kai took off towards the front door.
She opened it wide and swung around behind it. When she saw Carlos come out, she moved back around it, closing it quickly. Carlos realized what was happening too late and Kai locked him outside.
"Open this door!" he cried, banging on it.
"You know, I could, but what fun would that be?" Kai asked her friends, who chuckled.
"I'll be back tomorrow! You just wait!" Carlos cried, and he turned to go home.
