''Turn on the fan Hilary!.... it's too hot!'' Tyson complained loudly.

''Why don't you open the window?''

''I did! I've opened it fully! But no airs coming in!.... it's broken!''

'Sigh'

''You cannot break the weather Tyson, gawd is you head as hollow as it sounds?'' Hilary questioned.

''What? My head isn't hollow! You haven't even hear-''

*FWUP*

He was cut short by the force of Hilary's hand on the back of his head.

''Yep! Sounds pretty hollow to me! Whad' I tell ya?''

''Hmph'' Tyson replied stupidly, as he couldn't be bothered to think of a descent come back.

For the next 10 minutes all they heard was whines and pointless complaints about the heat from the world champ.

Eventually they all got fed up.

''Isn't there a beach around here? I heard there was one just off the main road called cockleshell high. Wanna go check it out?... we could all do with a fun day out, to get away from THAT moaning thing.'' Said Ray, giving a quick head nod, to show he was talking about Tyson, who by now; had stopped rubbing his head.

''What did I do? It's the weathers fault. If it was winter, I wouldn't be moaning! Or if it was raining then I would be happy as a kid with a triple Decker ice-cream!'' Tyson said, licking his lips dreamily.

''Yea right Tyson, last time it was that cold, I recall you wailing at the top of your voice, complaining that you couldn't find your left glove! And by the time you found it, it had a whole in its pinkie!'' Ray said frustrated, as he fanned himself with an old magazine.

''Yea and the last time it was raining, that was when Kai had arrived, and I remember you were mad that the sudden blast of cold air that rushed in, when Kai stormed through those doors, would make your food go cold! You didn't care if Kai had been out there all by his self and-'' Hilary shut her mouth now, everyone was wondering over the sudden concern she had for Kai.

''What?'' she looked nervously around.

The stares didn't cease.

So she diverted her look to the ceiling, it had become very interesting all of a sudden.

''You seem to be getting along with Kai you know that Hilary? He doesn't really take to people, but I don't know about you, you could be different? You certainly seem to be making the effort eh?'' A small smirk appeared at the corner of Ray's mouth, as he looked for Hilary's reaction.

'Oh God, I've gone red I can feel it, why? Why? WHY NOW?' Hilary's mind suddenly exploded with confusing questions.

''Wha-what? NO... I'm concern for everyone, not just Kai!'' Hilary said behind red cheeks.

''Uh – huh that's why your cheeks have suddenly gone red, is it Hilary?'' Ray said with amusement plastered all over his sweaty face.

''I'm just feeling a little flustered, you know, from the heat, so how about that beach idea yea? I wouldn't mind splashing about for a while'' Hilary said, quickly diverting the current conversation.

It seemed to work, everyone was already going off to grab their swim suits, accept for Ray, who continued to wear the 'I-know-your-secret-Hilary-even- if-you-don't-yet' smirk.

Getting sick of his smugness, she lazily threw a pillow at him, hitting directly in the middle of his forehead.

''mmfehmhs!'' Ray muffled.



''Kai! Come on!''

''No''

''Why not you old Sourpuss!''

''Hn''

''Only for an hour? Or 2?''

''I'd rather boil my head''

''We will do an extra hour on training?''

''2 hours and 5 more laps running around the track... no break''

''Oh Kai! That's mega mean!''

''Hn''

Pause.

*whine from Tyson's direction*

''Aww.....err...Fine whatever! Come on! It's a deal!''

''What?''

''Come on! We've made a deal now! I got you a pair of swimming trunks! Your roughly Rays size so I got a pair the same size as him for you!''

''Whatever'' was the disconcerned reply form Kai. 'What was I thinking; making them train hard is definitely not worth this' Kai thought as he took the blue Speedo trunks from Tyson.

''It's even your colour!'' Max chirped happily.

He earned an evil death glare from Kai.

''Sorry'' He smiled.

''Lets go then!'' Ray said happily.

''Yea the sooner we get in that beach the better!''

''Wait! We have to wait for Hilary!'' Kenny Said from somewhere Behind Max.

''Oh yea! Awww man, she's gonna take forever, girls always take hours getting ready for anything!'' Tyson Whined as usual.

15 minutes passed before Hilary finally arrived, a small backpack on her back suggested that she had come fully equipped.

All the boys, accept Kai, looked at her funny.

''What you gawping at? Look like that any longer, people will mistake you as a couple of dazed goldfish'' Hilary sarcastically pointed out.

''You look like your going on holiday for a week! We are only jamming at the beach!''

Hilary glared at Tyson.

''Shut up Tyson, I've just come well protected, unlike some, I don't see you even bothered to take sun cream eh?''

''Don't need any! I never burn! HA! I can get a tan easily. Stupid girls.''

''Don't say I didn't warn you then Tyson, when you get burned, don't come running to me'' Hilary almost hummed.



It was reeeeeeeallly hot at the beach, the waves rolled gently onto the shore, crashing into the hot sand, making a soft refreshing spray of water come to the people sitting by. The sun glistened over them, almost as if it was watching them. The sea looked very inviting, little kids stood near the water, waiting for the waves to lick at their small feet. People's footprints lay there, as puddles of water fills them, and leaves it as fresh sand, making it seem as if the sand was untouched.

The Bladebreakers arrived at the beach, they were all hot, sweat glistening on their foreheads, and they looked at the water and at the inviting look, and started to make their way over to a nice little vacant spot.

Ray, Getting over there, had had enough of the heat, and couldn't bare it any longer, and decided to take his top off, Max followed suit. And Kenny, being a bit unsure, gave in and also took off his tie and shirt, within doing so, Dizzi whistled playingly and Kenny blushed and shut her lid over.

The two remaining boys with their shirts on, sat on the sand, Kai a little more away from the group, Hilary noticed.

Everyone in the group, had put their swimwear under their clothes, and so only had to take their clothes off, so they were ready for swimming. Hilary, after getting ready, took off her shirt and shorts, and dug in her bag for her sun lotion. She rubbed it on herself and sat waiting for everyone else.

She glared at Kai for a second. He was facing away from her, from the group. He had that armless blank tank top on, His bare arms all sweaty, and had a faint brown forming on them, easy tanner eh?

He looked parched. Maybe he should get in the water, or have a drink.

''Kai?... I bought spare drinks, if you want one, you can yea?''

He turned to face her. She held out a bottle of water for him.

He looked at her, then down to the drink.

''Hn'' was his only reply. He looked bothered, like he was frustrated into kept getting dragged into these 'group' activities.

He turned back round, but not before Hilary noticing him knotting his eyebrows down, closing his eyes, and a frown on his face.

She gathered that he did want a drink, but refused to take it from her.

She got up, and placed it next to him, and turned away to walk towards the water. ''Just in case'' She said before running and plunging into the water, getting ready to splash Max.

He watched her for a while, then muttered a single 'thanks...' under his breath.



The *hours* rolled past, as Kai noticed, it was more than he bargained for. He was fed up; he knew that he was being pushed to stay with his team, as he couldn't be bothered to sort out all the complaints that would later be shoved at him for his early departure.

He was sick of the Glares from the girls, and the giggles and blushes that followed.

'You'd think that they hadn't seen a teen with his top off before' Sighed Kai.

He had taken it off a while ago while the rest of the team was in the water.

Tyson came and joined him a bit later, with a huge ice-cream in his hands.

''Hey Kai, Wow you tanned well, but don't you hurt a bit? Some reason I do''

A roll of the eyes from Kai's direction

''Didn't you listen to Hilary? She did advise sun cream.''

''I'm not burned!'' Tyson said stubbornly.

An evil Grin formed on Kai's lips.

''Oh no? So if I was to, hmm lets say''

*whack*

''OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!''

''oo!...ee!....it....burns....i've..Got...a...red...patch...where...it...hurts!'' Tyson wailed between jumping up and down on the spot, as if the sand was burning his feet, which it probably was.

Kai, smiled to himself as he watched in amusement.

The others came back, and Hilary smiled triumphantly.

''Hey Tyson buddy'' Max said between giggles. ''- Are you alright? What happened?''

''Kai slapped me on my gut and its killing me.'' Tyson said looking pitifully at his 'storage space'.

''Whatever... I'm going back now, I've had enough''

''Wait Kai we're coming too! We better get this moron back up to shade'' Ray said calmly, smiling at Tyson's form.



Heading back up to the exit of the beach, the gang was pretty tired now, they were worn out.

The boys still didn't put their tops back on, as the sun was still burning. This caught a lot of female attraction, well heck, even some guys too.

They were right near the beach exit, when they heard in the nearby distance, A LOT of screaming, Barely having time to turn around and acknowledge who the screaming had come from, sand had flicked everywhere, creating a mini sand storm...all they could hear is a lot of pairs of feet...pattering around the sand, and giggles, and loud shrieks... they were all confused, they kept feeling things grabbing them and shouting their names... they tried to see what was happening, but when any of them tried to open their eyes, sand had threatened them closed again, exasperated shouts came from the 6 of them, but was drowned out by the loud comments, which can now be heard:

''OMG IT'S MAX! LET ME FEEL HIS HAIR!''

''LOOK AT HIS CLOTHES! SOOO ADORABLE!''

''THAT'S RAY! I HEARD HE'S SINGLE!''

''IS KAI THERE? LET ME SEE KAI! I WANNA TOUCH HIM! HE'S SOOOO SEXY''

''TYSON? CAN I PET DRAGOON?''

''WOW! THEY GOT THEIR TOPS OFF!!! *drool*''

''MAX IS THE BEST!''

''NUT AH! KAI COULD POLVEREISE HIM!''

The sand was now settling a bit more, to reveal a group of about 6 girls, roughly Hilary's age, grabbing and surrounding the Bladebreakers. The boys didn't know what to do, they were being pulled about, ruffled by the hair, pens shoved in their hands, phone numbers as well...EVERYTHING.

''GET OFF WILL YA!'' Ray yelled, only to be pulled around even more.

''HEY CUT IT OUT! YOU'RE MESSING UP MY HAIR!'' Max yelled, as he was pounced on and knocked over with a girl on top of him ''AHHH!''

Hilary had been pushed out of the circle by now, and she was now getting up, brushing herself off, to find Kenny doing the same thing

''You too huh?'' she replied gently to Kenny, who just nodded and put his glasses straight.

''Maybe we should help them'' she said suddenly as she looked at Kai who was trying to throw two girls off who had clung to his arms.

''Yea'' replied Kenny.

She thought for a moment.

And then she took a deep breath.

''HEY THERE YOU BOYS ARE! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR AGES!'' everyone went silent and looked at Hilary, who had gone a bit pink by shouting over everyone....there was a small crowd now.

Returning to her normal voice, she continued

''Had fun boys? I've missed you ever so much! You've missed me right?'' she winked at Ray to give him the idea to play along.

''Yea Hilary. We were worried.'' Ray said getting her drift.

''Oh good!'' She said and linked her arm through Ray's.

She earned a couple of Scowls from the girls.

Hilary then thought that she needed to show more protectiveness over the boys, or they will just leave Ray alone, now that they think he's interested in her, and go for the others.

So she slung an arm around Max's shoulder, and ruffle Tyson's Hair.

''Alright Maxie? Had fun?''

''Yea but it would have been better with you there!'' Max grinned, now playing along as well.

''Hey Tyson, Ooo! An ice-cream! Mind if I have a lick?'' She said licking the ice-cream still in Tyson's Hand.

The girls had now all of a sudden sorta lost interest in Ray, Max, and Tyson. They all started to eye Kai up.

He stood there. Looking at them.

''Hn''

''AWW did you hear that? How CUTE!''

''HE'S MINE BACK OFF!'' shouted one of the girls.

''NUT AH! LORNA! HE WOULDN'T WANT YOU!'' one shouted back.

''OH YEA LAURA WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'D WANT YOU!''

They all started pulling on him again, and he was starting to look very disgruntled.

'Oh no gotta think fast' thought Hilary. And she did the very first thing which popped into her head.

She cleared her throat to get their attention again.

''I'm sorry girls.... But'' She stopped there and placed her hand in Kai's, she intertwined their fingers and then, without thinking, went up on tiptoes and placed a small kiss on his cheek.

''He's mine'' she replied, still stunned of what she just did.

Kai cleared his throat and looked down at Hilary, but looked back up, out of all honesty, that was the last thing he had expected, and didn't know what to do, it had quite caught him.

''Isn't that right Kai?'' She said before she could stop herself.

Silence.

The girls just gawped there, waiting for an answer.

After a long pause:

''Whatever''

''AWW MAN! WHY! THAT'S NOT FAIR!'' Lorna and Laura said in unison, they were clearly disappointed, no more like, enraged.

''Sorry girls, unlucky.'' Hilary said, enjoying the look on the girl's faces, and gave a sarcastic cheery wave, with her free hand of corse.

They stormed off not without muttering something which sounded very much like: ''Lucky Bitch'' and they were left alone.

The boys just looked at Hilary, totally and utterly gob smacked.

Hilary noticed she was still holding Kai's hand. His skin was soft and warm.

He cleared his throat.

''oh sorry'' She muttered and let go.

''Uh Hilary'' Ray said all of a sudden.

''Yea?''

He smirked and replied:

''Your blushing again.''

*To Be Continued!*
