Summary: Tala, Ray, and Tyson compete for Kai's affections.

Author's Notes: I got sick and tired of reading characters competing for Ray or Tyson's affections, so it's now Kai's time to shine! Originally, I was thinking of only Tala and Ray competing, but then I got into Tyson/Kai pairing, so it's the three of them competing. Foursomes are hard to write. Positions are difficult.

~Forever Ours - Chapter 9~

Robert quickly went and got the rest of the Majestics. He wanted to fill them in on their roles before the morning.

"What's this all about Robert?" Oliver asked, yawning behind a hand.

"We get to play scorekeeper and rule enforcers." Robert informed them.

"What?" Enrique asked, alarmed.

"Have you noticed how Tyson, Ray, and Tala keep hanging around Kai?" Robert asked.

"Well, yeah, but what does that have anything to do with us?" Johnny asked.

"Simple. We are to keep watch over them and make sure they're not breaking any rules that they have agreed upon." Robert replied.

"I don't know about this." Oliver said hesitantly.

"How about I explain to you what we are to do. There are three rules that they have agreed upon so far. Rule one is that they take things slow with Kai, romance him if you will." Robert told them.

"Mr. Freeze needs romancing? That'll be the day." Johnny snorted.

"Johnny." Robert said in a warning 'I know your secret crush' tone.

"Hmmph." Johnny grunted and turned away.

"Rule two is that each of them gets equal time with Kai. If we see anyone monopolizing on his time, we step in." Robert said.

"That sounds easy enough." Enrique said. "I guess we could lure them away with a beyblade battle."

"And rule three is that no one gets to help them. No teammates or anyone. We have to be unbiased in this. No matter our feelings in this," Robert glanced at Johnny, "we have to uphold the rules. As I understand, however, Ray and Tyson have formed a temporary alliance to thwart Tala. In this third rule, this alliance is allowed."

"Sounds good to me." Oliver said.

Enrique and Johnny also agreed.

"Excellent. Oliver, you can get to Tyson's stomach if he becomes unruly, so you can watch over him. Enrique, you can take Ray on. I'll watch out for Tala. Johnny, you can keep an eye on Max and Kenny. As teammates, they'll become suspicious and you need to make sure they don't interfere." Robert said.

Oliver and Enrique nodded in agreement, but Johnny gave a firm 'no'.

"Why? What's wrong with this plan?" Enrique asked.

"Why do I have to babysit the nerd and the sugar-addict?" Johnny asked, crossing his arms.

"You know why I placed you there. Your feelings will only get in the way of your judgment." Robert stated.

"Your feelings?" Enrique asked. "Do you...have a problem with any of them? With Tyson, Ray, or Tala?"

"I could care less about those idiots." Johnny growled.

Looking at Johnny's face, Oliver knew the answer. He said, "It's Kai isn't it."

Johnny became flustered and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Enrique looked between Oliver and Johnny a few times before he finally understood, "You...like...Kai, don't you Johnny."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Johnny said.

"You do, don't you?" Oliver asked.

Johnny just growled.

"Now, now, don't growl." Robert reprimanded. "Besides, Kai does seem to have a rather...passionate...impact on bladers that he's faced."

"I hope this doesn't mean that Max and Kenny will be wanting a piece of Kai." Enrique said, laughing.

"They won't, as long as they don't see Johnny going after Kai." Robert said, smirking at Johnny.

Johnny just glared at them all.

"How about instead of sending Johnny to watch over Max and Kenny, he can keep track of Kai. That way, we keep things covered. Johnny can make sure that rules one and two are followed, while we make sure rule three is followed." Oliver offered.

"Fine." Enrique said. "This will certainly be interesting."

"Indeed, but Johnny, do keep in mind what your job is. Don't be too distracted to keep track of those three. You are not to be wooing Kai." Robert informed him firmly. "We have to do this unnoticed."

"Fine." Johnny growled out, walking out of the room.

"That was a fine compromise Oliver." Enrique praised. "Otherwise we would have had a real hot head on our hands."

"As if he wasn't one already." Oliver pointed out.

"Point."

"Alright you two, enough of YOUR flirting. You need sleep to keep up with your respective targets." Robert said.

"Fine, fine." Enrique said, walking out the door.

"And we weren't flirting." Oliver said, blushing, as he walked out the door.

Robert rolled his eyes, closing his door, and locking it. 'Why am I the only one NOT oblivious to the direction of affections? I wonder how Kai is fairing.'

*********

Kai found himself lying on the floor the next morning. He got up and stretched out all the kinks from sleeping on the floor. He went through his morning routine by instinct, took a deep breath as he approached his door, and exited his sanctuary to face the insanity of Tala, Ray, and Tyson. Kai saw Tala exiting his room at the same time he did. He contemplated running back inside to hide, but decided against it.

'Sooner or later, those guys will be knocking down my door; something's up with them. I think there's a contest, and I'm the task. Maybe they're competing to open me up. Heaven only knows how much those idiots want me to open up. They must have roped Tala in to spice things up.' Kai thought to himself. 'They'll be in for a surprise if they think I'm easy.'

"Kai! Good morning!" Tala said excitedly, wrapping an arm around Kai's waist.

"Hn." Kai grunted, twisting slightly to test Tala's grip and tried to escape.

"We can either wait for the others to come out for breakfast, or we could go ahead." Tala suggested, squeezing Kai slightly in retaliation of the attempt.

"Hn."

They only had to wait a few minutes, until the rest of the Demolition Boys showed up, for them to go to breakfast together. Tyson and Ray seemed disappointed to see Kai sitting with the Demolition Boys for breakfast. After breakfast events became a little more interesting, since Lee called an impromptu captain's meeting.

'How unusual of Lee. He doesn't seem like he would actually call a meeting.' Kai thought, sitting in a conference room with the other team captains.

"What is this all about?" Michael asked.

"Well, if you haven't noticed it's a long cruise to the Caribbean. I know some of you may have noticed that idle bladers means trouble for everyone else." Lee said, nodding at Kai.

"Don't I know it." Kai muttered.

"So, what are we going to do to keep our teams busy and not at each other's throats?" Lee asked, looking at Tala.

"Hey, my team hasn't done anything. We've been good." Tala defended his team.

"We know that, but I've noticed that you've been stirring up trouble for Tyson and Ray." Lee pointed out.

"I've noticed that too. Just what were you guys doing anyway?" Michael asked. "Whenever I see you guys together, you're all either around Kai or t-OW!"

Michael glared at Robert as he rubbed a sore shin. Kai just merely arced an eyebrow at them.

'They know something. And it involves me.' Kai thought to himself. 'I think it's time to intimidate and interrogate.'

"Why don't we organize our own mini tournament?" Tala suggested.

The other team captains, minus Kai, looked at Tala warily.

"We promise not to hurt anyone, or steal anyone's bitbeast." Tala sighed.

"Sounds fine. But it's still a long cruise." Lee pointed out. "We can't just battle each other."

"Well, this cruise was designed for relaxation. It should be treated like a vacation." Robert informed them.

"Well, some of us think blading is fun." Tala said, elbowing Kai. "Right?"

"Hn."

"But I was surprised to see Tyson not stuck to the buffet table." Robert pondered. "According to Oliver, Tyson loves to eat."

"Perhaps he found something much more interesting." Tala said, smirking.

Michael snorted and commented, "Yeah, more like someone."

"Interesting." Kai murmured to himself.

Tala glanced at Kai worriedly and thought, 'Stay oblivious Kai. I can't lose you because of this.'

"How about we unofficially have a tournament. Anyone who wants to blade can do so there, but bladers who do not can relax their own way." Robert suggested, to keep them on topic.

"Sounds fine." Michael said.

The other team captains also agreed, even Kai, although a bit reluctant.

"Does that mean you'll be overseeing the tournament?" Lee asked Robert.

"Unfortunately, my team would like to take this opportunity to relax." Robert said.

"Like they can't relax with their wealth." Tala muttered to Kai.

"Anyway, shouldn't this be handled by the Demolition Boys? They've done a fine job so far." Michael asked.

"We want a chance to relax too. I can't speak for my team, but it would be nice to relax without Boris breathing down our necks." Tala said, shuddering. "So, will the White Tigers take this challenge on?"

Lee shrugged and said, "I suppose. It doesn't seem too hard."

The team captains left it as that and returned to their own plans for the day. Outside, Tala pulled Kai to the side.

"So, what are you doing now?" Tala asked.

"Talking to you."

Tala rolled his eyes and asked, "What are your plans for the day?"

"Dunno. I'll wing it." Kai said, shrugging.

"Mind if I tag along? I promise I won't get in your way." Tala said.

"Hn."
