/-Thoughts-/

Chapter 17 - The Day Off.

Today everyone had the day off before the last two matches began and they decided to spend their time apart-ish. Max and Tiffany had gone off earlier that morning wanting to have more time alone with each other.
Ray and Kenny went for a walk wanting to have a look around. Which left Tyson and Kai alone in the hotel room. They were currently watching TV with Tyson leaning against Kai.

"Tyson." Kai suddenly said breaking the silence they held.

"Yeah?" not taking his eyes off the TV.

Kai sighed not really knowing how to put what he felt into words. He got up and walked over to the window making Tyson fall back on the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Tyson asks with pure concern looking over at Kai.

But Kai doesn't say anything and continues to look out the window. This was really starting to worry Tyson, he got up from the sofa and walked over to him.

"Kai? Kai, what's wrong?" he asks softly placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I-I was just wondering what the others would think about us." Kai answers quietly.

"Since when do you care about what other people think?" Tyson jokes.

"I'm serious, Tyson." Raising his voice a little.

Tyson sighed letting his hand drop from Kai's shoulder and turned away from him.
"Ar-are you saying that you don't want us to be together?" trying to keep his voice even but it still quivered a little.

At hearing this Kai turned to Tyson immediately.
"I didn't say that."

"You might as well've." Tyson replied tears welling up in his eyes.

"Tyson, you have to understand that this is the first real relationship I've had." Kai explains.

Tyson nods not trusting his voice as a few tears fell.

Max and Tiffany walked down the street hand in hand happy to have sometime alone with each other.

"You wanna see a movie?" Max asks.

Tiffany shakes her head. Max huffed, since they left she hadn't said one word to him and he was starting to get annoyed.

"Okay Tiffany, what's wrong?" he asks slightly annoyed.

"Hm?" looking slightly confused.

"You haven't said a word since we left."

"Sorry Max." she apologises "I guess I was too busy thinking about… something."

"Tiffany, please tell me what's wrong. It worries me seeing you like this." Max says.

"It's nothing Max, really." She smiles. "How about we go grab a bite to eat, hm?" walking off. /- Sorry Maxie… but this is my problem and I have to solve it on my own.-/ she thought. 'I always get what I want and I want you.' She shuddered as she remembered those words. She then felt two hands upon her shoulders and looked into Max's blue eyes.

"When you're ready, you'll tell me." He says quietly in her ear before giving her a quick kiss.

Tiffany smiled, "Thanks, Maxie."

They continued down the street towards a nearby café when Tiffany suddenly stopped, just ahead of them she saw him. The guy her brother had fought the other night. /-No, please… not now.-/ she begged as she held her bandaged arm.

"Tiffany, do you know him?" Max asks seeing her reaction to the guy.

Tiffany doesn't answer but turns and runs in the other direction, Max looks back at the guy seeing a smirk on his face before he goes after her.

Ray and Kenny were walking back to the hotel when they heard.

"That Kinomiya girl won't know what hit her when Jason gets through with her."

"Hey Chief, you hear that?" Ray says quietly.

Kenny nods "Yeah. Sounds like they're planning to do something to Tiffany."

"Come on, let's go see."

They walked in the direction of the voices and saw two guys, one had black hair and the other had dark green hair.

"You mean he's figured out how to get revenge for his sister?" the dark green one asked.

The other guy nodded.

"But how?"

The black haired one chuckled, "With help of yours truly of course. Now here's the plan…"

The two walked off leaving two very worried 'breakers in there wake.

"What do you think they're planning to do?" Kenny asks worriedly.

"I don't know but whatever it is, it'll be bad for both Tiffany and us." Ray answers.

"Right, we'd better tell the others about this."

Ray nods and they head back to the hotel at a faster pace than before. When they reached their room they found no one there.

"That's funny, didn't Tyson and Kai say they were just gonna stay in today?" Kenny says looking a tad confused.

"Maybe they changed their minds." Ray replies with a small smile as he looks towards the back of the sofa.

"No, we're here." Tyson says popping up from the sofa and giving Kenny a small scare.

"Tyson, would you please not do that!"

"Heh, sorry Chief." Tyson apologises.

"Where's Kai anyway?" Kenny asks

"Uh… where?" came Tyson's hesitant reply.

Ray saw Tyson's eyes look down at the sofa then back up to them.

"Dunno…maybe he's in his room." Thinking up an answer on the spot.

"Perhaps you should go see, Chief." Ray says realising what must have been going on.

Kenny gives a nod and goes off towards Kai's room.

Ray made sure Kenny was out of earshot before saying, "Okay Kai, you can come up now."

Tyson's eyes went wide with shock. "How'd you know he was here?"

Ray chuckled, "It's kinda obvious, Tyson."

"Hm."

"Tyson, will you get off me." A voice said from the sofa as Ray walked over to them.

"Sorry Kai." Tyson apologised as he got up.

"So this is the 'secret' you three were trying to keep from us, huh?" Ray said.

Tyson blushed a little as Kai sat up.

"He's not in his roo…oh there you are, Kai." Kenny says as he sees Kai sitting on the sofa. "Where've you been?"

"None of your business." Kai replies then glares at Ray after hearing a small chuckle.

Kenny shrugged brushing it off as a usual Kai response.
"Tyson, I think you're sister maybe in danger."

"Huh? How do you mean, Chief?" Tyson asks.

"We heard two guys planning against her." Ray answers for him.

"What exactly are they planning to do?" Kai asked.

"We… don't know." Kenny replies sheepishly.

"I thought you said you heard them." Tyson said rather confused.

"We did…" Ray began before getting interrupted.

"So how come you don't know?"

"They walked off before they started talking about it."

"So how do you know they were talking about Tiffany?" Kai asked.

Ray and Kenny looked at each other for a second before looking back at Kai and Tyson.

"Well?"

"They uh practically called her by name." Kenny answered a tad nervously.

"Apparently some guy called Jason is going to do… whatever it is that they planned." Ray added.

This time it was Tyson and Kai who looked at each other, Tyson had an extremely worried look on his face. They were both remembering the fight Tyson had the other night and what the guy said before leaving. 'I always get what I want and I want you.'

"Guys? What's wrong?" Kenny asks seeing the worry on their faces. (Make that on Tyson's face as it doesn't show as much on Kai's.)

"Nothing." They reply in unison looking back at them.

"Ooookay."

"But what are we suppose to do about it? I mean my sis isn't one to be told what she can and can't do." Tyson complains.

Kai and Ray had to suppress a chuckle for as serious as Tyson was being they couldn't help but think that he was describing himself not his sister.

"Max." Kai suddenly says.

"Huh?" they all say.

"What about him?" Ray asks.

"He's the only one who can stay by her without causing suspicion." Kai explains.

"Hey, yeah!" Tyson exclaims. "She'd never expect anything if it was Maxie."

Kenny and Ray nod in agreement.

"So all we have to do now is wait for them to return." Kenny says.

As Max catches up with Tiffany he manages to grab her arm and stop her.

"Tiffany… what's… going… on?" trying to catch his breath.

"Nothing… I uh…"

Max gave her an annoyed look. "You can't tell me it's nothing. You practically ran away from the guy!" he says nearly shouting.

Tiffany looked down at the ground. She couldn't tell him what happened that night, it would most probably ruin their relationship if she did. But what choice did she have?

"He-he's… someone I've tried to forget." She said solemnly.

Max's anger grew, "Are you telling me that you're just going out with me to get back him!"

Tiffany looked up immediately, "No Max, it's nothing like that!" her voice was small and pleading. Tears starting to form in her eyes. "You gotta believe me… please!" her last word barely above a whisper.

Max wanted to believe her, he wanted to believe her so badly. She really did look sincere in what she said but something inside him told him not to.
"We'd better be getting back." He says letting go of her arm and walking in the direction of the hotel.

"Max, you gotta believe me." She said almost whispering as she silently followed him.

Hidden from view someone was watching them and smirked at what just happened /-revenge is sweet.-/ they thought.

Hope you guys liked it. Sadly this will be the last chapter until I come back from holiday, so I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait a little longer than usual. Sorry! But it can't be helped.
