Chapter 7

MyHeartBleeds: The second date went fine, and guess what! Kev-Kun found out what was happening and insisted to come along. Damn my lucks good. :D ... oh, and thankies for the review.

Castles in the Sky: Only 15? Are you sure you should be reading this? :p I'm almost 20. And apparently, by my friend, I'm a 'girl who acts like a guy and likes incest'. Not really. That spawned from a discussion on Wuthering Heights where I questioned the relationship of two characters that are adopted brother and sister, and it was pointed out in another class I act more masculine than feminine. Maybe that's why my cowardice ex-boyfriend ran away - I had too much control. See, we're all normal. :D Oh yeah, and I have sex on the brain too. Only way I can get it. [[whistles innocently]]

dead yet a love sick puppy: I doubt Kai would do that too them. Wouldn't want to deal with Kenny's shit.

Chaco and Lily: I envy you. The only G-Rev I have is on the internet. They don't even talk it here. It's not even in the magazines. It sucks. And isn't it always about the training for Kai? He does nothing for free.

Prozacfairy: Kai got Kenny out of the house so Tyson and Max could have some... fun... :p

Tariki Rania: Like the chapter?

Mizuyah: By Honesty they are more open and, well, experienced. :p

Ramen II: A little different. They're nervous and unsure here. Not so later. And you hope happened. Kenny and Kai appear in this chapter.

animeandraia: So is the White Tigers sensei Lee's grandfather? Or someone different? And he sounds cool. And he's an attention seeker by the looks of the images on the net I've seen.

Koneko no Rei: Don't worry, we're getting close to Ray coming into it. Within the next few chapters in fact. Just hold out a little longer.

Filter Girl: Ray's coming soon. And yes, Kai finally got rid of Kenny.

kappy locks: I feel for you. Hopefully it all fixes itself soon. I hate it when things like that happen.

KuronekoHikage: I doubt Ray will even notice Kai when he comes. After all, Ray will have his own problems by then... [[looks toward Honesty]]

Ashla: The shits gonna hit the fan when Kenny finds out, which hopefully won't be for a while. And yes, they'll pay.

lilmatchgirl007: Long enough, we hope.

Zap Cannon: So you like it then?

And afterwards…

Kai sighed, listening to Kenny ramble off statistic after statistic and hoping that the two other dweebs had used their time productively, otherwise he was going to castrate them on the spot. He had known taking Kenny to the BBA centre would be exceptionally boring and patience draining, but it had been worse than he had imagined.

That was the last time he would underestimate the brainiac.

"Kai?"

He looked down, crimson eyes narrowed.

"It's getting late. Don't you think we ought to be heading back?"

Kai glanced at his watch. They'd had just over five hours. Plenty of time to vent their frustrations if Tala and Bryan were anything to go by. Maybe now Max and Tyson would concentrate during training instead of phasing out to whatever hentai thoughts they got so caught up in.

"You finished?" He saw Chief nod. "Then we'll go. We'll stop and get several dozen pizzas on the way home."

"Whoa," Dizzi announced. "I do believe old sourpuss just made a joke."

"It's not exactly a joke, Dizzi." Kenny followed Kai toward the parking lot. "Tyson is perfectly capable of eating several hundred dozen pizzas in one sitting."

"Don't you think you're over-exaggerating. It's only a couple of hundred dozen pizzas, not several hundred dozen."

Kenny smiled. "Let's just go for the median value."

"Works for me, Chief."

[oooooooooooooooooooo]

Max looked up from the movie as Kai and Kenny entered, grinning as he spotted the boxes balanced in their arms. "Oh sweet! Did you get-"

Kai dumped the top box onto his knee. "Do I ever forget?"

Max shook his head, flipping open the lid just as Tyson come barrelling out of his room, eyes wide as he scanned for the source of the smell. Almost straight away drool seemed to collect in the corners of his mouth and like a lion he pounced upon the boxes, flipping them open and grabbing two slices at a time.

Kenny groaned, sighing as he shook his head. "You're going to choke."

Kai smirked. "Please."

"I can't watch this." Kenny grabbed a box, tucking Dizzi under his arm and heading down the corridor. "I'll be in my room eating… that's if I haven't already lost my appetite."

Max raised an eyebrow. "That's one way of getting rid of him."

Kai snatched up a box before Tyson could grab it, crossing toward the lounge and dropping onto a couch, balancing the box on his knee. "Well?"

Max looked up. "Well what?"

"Well did you or didn't you?"

Max felt his cheeks warm. "We… did."

"Hn." Kai took a bite out of his pizza, watching his blond headed teammate through slitted eyes. "And?"

"And the frustrations gone." Max picked at the toppings absently. "And… it was good."

Kai raised an eyebrow. "Just 'good'?"

Max shot a dark look at him, drawing a smirk to Kai's lips. For a long while neither spoke, the only sounds those they made as they ate, and Tyson shuffling around the table, trying to work out which one to eat next.

"It was excellent, actually."

Kai looked up. "Pardon?"

"I said it was excellent." Max felt his cheeks warm again. "It was certainly worth waiting for." He paused, blue eyes narrowing. "I gotta ask: why do you care?"

"Curious." Kai shrugged, taking another bite. "Wondering if my pain was worth it."

Max frowned for a moment, then laughed, nodding. "Chief really got going, did he?"

"Hn."

"Sorry bout that."

"Whatever."

"And… thank you." Max smiled faintly. "We owe you."

Kai looked at him but didn't speak, finishing his pizza and snagging a tissue from a nearby box, wiping his fingers. Standing, he moved toward the corridor, stepping over Tyson who had collapsed to the floor, moaning about having overdone it again but nevertheless trying to reach for that one last slice he could just see out of the corner of his eye.

Max finished his own pizza, setting the box on the coffee table and deciding to clean up in the morning as he stood and made his way toward Tyson, catching him under the arms.

"Come on, Ty. Can't leave you there."

"Aw, Max…" Tyson groaned, flaying toward the pizza. "I can… I can reach it… just one bit more…"

"Nope. Bed time for you. Kai's going to have us training early in the morning knowing him, and you'll need to sleep it off." Max oofed as Tyson stumbled, causing Max to take all his weight. "Gee, maybe Kai's right. Maybe you do need to go on a diet."

He opened Tyson's door, taking him inside and closing it behind him, making to get Tyson ready for bed. As the door closed he didn't spot the crack in the next doorway down, light reflecting off glass before the door gently closed and locked once more.

[[sweatdrop]] Tyson and his food. And I like the Kai/Max interaction in this one.
