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 10~

Just as Kai was about to go find something to do, Tyson and Ray ran up to them.

"Tala, I challenge you to a swimming contest." Tyson proclaimed. "The fastest person to do four lengths of the pool wins."

Tala arched an eyebrow at him, wondering what he was up to.

"So, do you accept?" Ray asked.

"Yeah. Sure. Whatever."

"While these two are swimming, wanna join me in the hot tub?" Ray asked Kai.

"I suppose. It's not like I have anything else to do." Kai muttered.

"Great! We'll see you there." Tyson cheered, dragging Ray away.

Tala dragged Kai to their rooms to get changed and then they went to the swimming pool on the ship. Kai watched, as Tyson and Tala got ready for their race. Ray led Kai to one of the closer hot tubs, so they could watch the race.

Submerging into the hot water, Ray asked Kai, "Who do you think will win?"

Kai looked at Ray intently as he got in and said, "Are we betting?"

"Only if you want to bet. I think it'll make things more interesting to have a friendly wager. Don't you?" Ray asked.

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a yes." Ray said. "So, who do you think will win?"

"Tala. Tyson may train with his grandfather in that dojo of his, but Tala has experience from the Abbey. His speed and endurance will help him beat Tyson." Kai said confidently.

"Well, I say Tyson's going to win." Ray said. "And if he wins, you get to sit with the Bladebreakers for lunch and dinner."

"And if Tala wins?" Kai asked.

"Well...you could sit with the Majestics for lunch and dinner." Ray suggested.

"I can't sit with the Demolition Boys?" Kai inquired, curious.

"Ummm....ahhh...I just thought you might have gotten tired of their company. That's all." Ray said hurriedly.

Kai just arched an eyebrow, watching Ray squirm.

"Okay. Okay. I just wanted to watch out for you. They could hurt you, and I don't want to see that happen." Ray said, blushing.

"Hn." Kai grunted, though, it held a more contemplative tone.

"Hey Ray, Kai, why don't you guys count us down? We're ready to race!" Tyson shouted.

"Okay." Ray replied. "On your marks. Get set."

They could see Tala and Tyson leaning into the pool.

"GO!"

Tyson and Tala both hit the water at the same time. True to Kai's prediction, Tala's training from the Abbey came through and Tala was beating Tyson slowly but surely. Of course, Tyson didn't want to make things easy on Tala. Seeing Tala speed ahead of him, Tyson became more determined to win and nearly surpassed Tala a few times. However, Tala's smooth turns and powerful pushes from the walls of the pool gained him that extra lead to proclaim him the winner.

"The winner is Tala." Kai said, smirking at Ray.

Ray just sighed in defeat and said, "Then I guess you get to sit with the Majestics. I'm sure they'll provide interesting lunch and dinner conversation."

"Spoilsport." Kai said, imitating Tyson.

Ray just blinked at Kai. A grin grew on his face and he lunged at Kai. He said, "Always knew there was sense of humour in there."

Kai tried to escape, but Ray was faster than he looked. Ray managed to wrap his arms tightly around Kai's waist, pushing him down beneath the water. Ray relished the feeling of having Kai in his arms, but he did let Kai up, without letting go. Kai slicked his wet hair back and glared at Ray. Ray just grinned sheepishly and snuggled into Kai's chest. Kai growled at Ray to let go, but Ray nuzzled into Kai's chest, purring softly.

"Sheesh. Never thought Ray could purr. Are you a cat or something?" Johnny asked, smirking down at the two in the hot tub.

Ray released Kai, much to Kai's relief, and addressed Johnny, "Oh, hi Johnny. Guess what."

"What?"

"Kai gets to join the Majestics for lunch and dinner today." Ray informed him.

"What!?" Johnny asked, staring at Kai.

"We made a bet on Tyson and Tala's race. Tala won, so he gets to sit with the Majestics." Ray said.

"Err...alright. I'll inform Robert, I guess." Johnny said, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks.

"You okay Johnny? You seem a bit flushed. Maybe you should cool off in the pool or something." Tyson said, putting a wet hand on Johnny's clothed shoulder.

"Tyson!" Johnny yelped. "Watch where you're dripping!"

"Congratulations Tala, you won the race." Kai announced.

Tala smirked, "Told ya."

Tyson stuck out his tongue and growled back, "Oh yeah? Well, I still beat you at beyblading!"

"If you're going to stick that out, you'd better know how to use it." Tala said, pulling Tyson into a kiss.

Ray, Kai, Johnny, and anyone else paying attention, gawked at the two. Tyson hastily pulled away from Tala, gasping.

"Wh-what?" Tyson stuttered, staring at Tala.

"I am such a good kisser I made Tyson speechless." Tala boasted.

"Why you!!" Tyson growled, advancing on Tala.

"Oh, and by the way, Kai's going to be having lunch and dinner with the Majestics." Ray offered.

Tyson and Tala stopped what they were doing and stared at Kai.

"Is this true?" they asked together.

"Hn."

"So, did you guys have any wager before you raced?" Ray asked.

"Since I won, I get a hug from Kai." Tala said, slipping into the hot tub.

Kai rolled his eyes and hugged Tala. "Baka."

Tyson pouted and said, "I'm hungry after that swim. Is it lunch yet?"

Johnny looked at his watch and said, "Yeah, it's about lunch time. You have enough time to change for lunch."

Tyson quickly ran off with the rest of them looking amused at his retreating back.

"Well, I suppose I'd best get ready for lunch. I doubt they'd like me dripping everywhere." Ray said, getting out of the hot tub.

"Well...Mariah might." Johnny said thoughtfully.

Ray grimaced at the thought. He left them to change. Kai relaxed into the water, enjoying the quiet that came from Tyson's leave.

"So Tala, why did you kiss Tyson?" Johnny asked, curious.

Tala shrugged and said, "He was annoying me."

"Does that mean if Ray was annoying you, you would kiss him?" Kai asked.

Tala thought about it for a while before he replied, "Maybe. He is quite the looker after all."

"And he purrs." Johnny added.

"Really?" Tala asked, intrigued.

"Yes, before I showed up, Ray was hugging Kai and purring away." Johnny said.

"Interesting..."

"So what was it like kissing Tyson?" Johnny asked.

"I need more research. Can I kiss you?" Tala asked, looking at Johnny.

Johnny blushed and said, "Fat chance!"

"Oh come on! It's in the name of science and research!" Tala said, enjoying himself.

"Um. No. I don't kiss guys." Johnny said, trying to get a hold of his blush.

"Haven't you ever wondered about kissing guys?" Tala asked.

"No." Johnny said quickly. 'Though Kai would be an exception.'

"Hmmm. I think we should go get changed for lunch." Kai interrupted their 'fascinating' conversation.

"Yeah, and I have to let Robert know that you'll be joining us." Johnny said, blushing slightly. 'Yes! He's going to be eating with me! With ME!'

Kai exited the hot tub and returned to his room to change. Tala waited until Kai was out of earshot and glared at Johnny. He said, "I've seen how you look at him. You're not in this competition. So remember that you don't have a chance with him."

Johnny scowled at Tala and said, "You're all talk. You're just afraid that if I became a competitor that you'll lose for sure. If I was wooing Kai, he would have been mine a long time ago."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Enough you two. I don't need you fighting." Robert said glaring at Johnny. 'Brat. I knew this was going to happen. Your feelings are getting in the way.'

"I'm sure you know that Kai's sitting with the Majestics." Tala said, addressing Robert.

"Yes." Robert replied. 'I'm sure Johnny is extremely pleased at this turn of events.'

"Well, I'd best get ready." Tala said, exiting the hot tub to get changed.

Once Tala was out of sight, Robert whacked Johnny in the back of the head.

"What was that for?" Johnny growled.

"For letting your feelings get in the way." Robert reprimanded. "Now Tala knows about your crush."

"Well, now anyone who's remotely paying attention knows." Johnny snapped.

"Why don't you go and be pretty for Kai." Robert said, shooing Johnny away.

Johnny growled and left. Robert sighed and went off to find some Advil. 'I'm going to need some before the day is out. I hope Enrique and Oliver are having a better time.'

TBC...

Authoress' End Notes: I would like to thank all the reviewers who have followed me through this fic. Kai is my favorite character (I think he's better than Tyson, regardless of who won what match). I plan on evening out the time allotted to each contestant and really make Kai's blood boil. Whether in passion or in anger, that's for me to know, and you to find out! ^_^ Sorry Johnny, I'm going to continue torturing you. MWAH! You can ask the characters questions on my livejournal.
