Chapter 5
Prozacfairy: Patience, my friend, patience. Ray will come. And yes, Kai doesn't give a damn. Does he give a damn about anything? :p
MyHeartBleeds: Unfortunately Kevin saw right through my plot to seduce him and tricked me. I only just escaped from the wardrobe. I tell you what, spend three days in there with Kev's dirty socks and everything smells good. Well, I can't write much at the moment. I've got a date with Lee... [[snigger]]
Ashla: Max gets to see more than just Tyson working out in the gym, as you shall see.
Bluumberry: BD will pop up again, just not in this fic. [[makes a note for Ketsuron]] Yes, it'll pop up. Mostly for this fic it is meant to show Kai's control and trustability. That's all.
Koneko no Rei: I think Kai already knew about Tyson and Max. After all, "see all, know all"
lilmatchgirl007: Spontaneously combust? [[starts chuckling]] Interesting image. And I noted you review for A Little Too Tight, and I thought I just might mention that I have written Kai/Tala. It's in Centrepiece over at AdultFanFicton. The one pairing I have not and will not write is Max/Ray. Nope. Never. No way.
Chaco and Lily: You're right. Kai probably pulled out BD to piss them off. It would be exactly his style.
Kappy Locks: Don't do that. How can you read and review mine and everyone else's fics?
dead yet a love sick puppy: You have a gift for short reviews, you know. :p
dewberrygirl: Want it all you want. I am god in terms of the Honesty Saga. Ray comes when I say he comes. Mwaahaahaahaahaa. [[pause]] Okay, so maybe not god. Satan then. [[pause]] Yes, Satan. [[returns to evil laughter]]
KuronekoHikage: Where I live I know of three Beyblade fans other than myself - Izure, and my two sisters. [[sigh]]
Tariki Rania: No White Tigers in this fic. Just the Blade Breakers. Sorry if you're hanging out for them. After all, they don't come to Japan until Honesty. And Ray is coming, just not yet. Seeds need to be sown first.
animeandraia: I agree with the Bryan thing. When I told Melanie (a.k.a Level4Chaos) that I have a thing for Bryan, she was all "okaaay. How can you like him?" I just do because I do. What more can be said. But I agree with her over the Johnny thing. [[looks at Johnny and drools]]
Castles in the Sky: lol. I doubt anything could keep Kai's desires to murder Tyson in check.
Ramen II: I like to liken Bryan and Ian to Kai and Tyson - one cool controlled leader type guy vs the annoying loud mouthed I-am-better-than-thou guy. And we all know who wins. ;)
hitawarilover: I'm so glad you love my stories. It's compliments like that that keep me writing. :D
Mizuyah: I don't think I'd be game to hug Kai... I know... RAAAAAY!!!!
This ones a little shorter.
There it was again, that strange feeling nagging him at the back of his mind. Frowning, Kai straightened, turning away from where he stood on the balcony overlooking the pool. Max had joined Tyson in the water and was racing him, the challenge enough to get the stubborn Japanese blader to swim the required laps.
Shoving his hands in the pocket of his jacket, Kai moved through the corridors, wandering aimlessly. Gritting his teeth, he reached back into his mind, trying to grab that illicit thought, but it danced back out of his reach. It continued to call for his attention, but it did not allow him to know what it was, and it was starting to frustrate him.
Sighing heavily, he opened the door of the team apartment, setting his mind to something else. Hearing the tap of fingers across the keyboard his thoughts turned to his teammates problem. It didn't worry him that Max and Tyson were gay, not one bit. The Abbey was full of such relationships, which was why it had come as no surprise that Tala and Bryan had hooked up.
Kenny was a problem. With Tal and Bry, their problem had come in the form of Ian, who had been quick to question Bryan's motives. It had been Tala who had brought an end to those accusations, grabbing the imp by the throat and dangling him over the fireplace until the younger begged for forgiveness. The problem with Kenny, however, would not be solved so easily nor violently.
Scratching his chin Kai made a mental note to shave, dropping onto the couch and switching on the TV, flicking through the contents. Typical. 99 channels to chose from and there was nothing on. A documentary on China caught his eye, making him wonder how the fifth element of their team was doing. It had been a long time since Kai had spoken to Ray, even longer since he had seen him, and he couldn't help missing the neko-jin.
Kai was sure that Ray would have had the answer to the Kenny problem, and that Ray would have also had a hand in setting Tyson and Max up a lot sooner than they had actually gotten together. But the Tiger wasn't there, instead having returned home to his family at the completion of their victory tour…
Kai narrowed his eyes. Victory tour equalled media. Media equalled data. Data equalled Kenny. And all of the above equalled Kenny out of the house, or apartment as it was. And if Kenny was out of the house…
Kai smirked. Yes, that would work. That would work perfectly. Standing, Kai made his way to the study, rapping his fingers lightly on the doorframe and causing the younger teen to look up.
"Something wrong, Kai?"
"Got wind that the BBA centre has a bit on our team from the tour, and the figures they were talking sounded all wrong to me, so I'm gonna head over this afternoon to check it out. Was wondering if I could take Dizzi so I have a reliable source."
"I'll go anywhere you wish to take me, gorgeous," Dizzi replied.
Kenny's cheeks burned faintly. "Um… maybe I should come with you. You know, so I can interpret the data."
"I can do that too, remember?"
"Yes, but still, just to be safe."
"Fine." Kai turned his back on him. "We'll leave Tyson and Max to their training. We go straight after lunch."
"I'll be ready."
Can you see what Kai is doing here? And what do you think of Dizzi's comments?
