(-Thoughts-)

Chapter 26 - Anyone For A Swim?

During the course of the next day Kai and Tyson did all they could to make the other jealous to the brink of the point where Tyson almost drove Ray insane! It was now five in the evening and Tiffany was getting ready for her 'date' with Danny.

"What do you think about this?" she asked Tyson as she twirled round in a short black wavy skirt and low red cut top."

"If you want him to jump you, then fine." Tyson answered a tad annoyed.

Tiffany sighed.
"Tyson, we're trying to make Max jealous. Remember?"

"Why him?" Tyson suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Of all the people you could've 'gone out' with, why choose him?"

Tiffany's shoulders slumped and she hung her head.
"Because he's the only one I know who won't take advantage of me or hurt me."

"Pfft. It didn't seem that way when you were lying in hospital."

Tiffany's fists suddenly shook by her sides. She looked up at her brother, anger in her dark blue eyes. "You know what…" she said angrily "Forget you. I don't need you to get Max back. I don't know why I came in the first place! I should've let you 'lose'."

"Tiff, look I didn't mean to get you angry."

"Get out!" she said, her arm pointing towards the door.

"But…"

"I said out, Tyson Kinomiya!" she shouted.

Tyson was stunned that she used his full name and did just as she said cringing as he heard the door slam behind him.

"Whatcha do this time, Tyson?" a sarcastic voice said.

Tyson looked over and growled. "Kai."

"That's my name."

"Shouldn't you be with Max or something." His annoyance clear as he continued to his room.

He was unaware that Kai followed him and just as he closed the door Kai stopped it making him jump a little in shock

"What the hell do you want, Kai."

"You." Came a seductive voice.

Tyson gulped and started walking backwards until he hit the bed and fell back onto it. He looked up at Kai a little fear in his eyes. Kai gave a smirkish smile, slowly he climbed on top of Tyson and kissed him passionately.

Suddenly Tyson bolted upright and looked round. He was in his room but there was no sign of Kai. (-Was it all a dream?-) he wondered. He jumped when he felt someone place their hand on his shoulder, in one swift move pulled them onto the bed and sat on top of them.

"Hey, whoa. Calm down, Bro. It's just me." A female voice said.

"Huh? Oh Tiffany. Sorry I… thought you were someone else." Getting up off her and sitting on the edge of the bed.

"So I gathered."

"What are you doing here anyway?" he asked.

"What? Can't a big sis check in on her little bro now and then?" she teased.

"Very funny."

She gave a small chuckle.
"Just thought I'd come and tell you that Danny's coming over tomorrow." She said sitting up.

Tyson gave a small growl upon hearing Danny's name.

Tiffany placed a hand on her brother's shoulder. "I know you don't trust him, Ty. But at least try to be friendly, okay?"

"Fine." He said grumpily.

She smiled, "Thanks, Tyson." and walked out of his room.

The next morning was quite normal…well as normal as it can get with almost everyone trying to make the other jealous.

"Hey, anyone wanna go for a swim after breakfast?" Tiffany suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at her partly surprised, she smiled in response unknowingly making Max's heart flutter.

"It's just that Danny's coming over soon and I thought we could all… you know… have fun."

"Kai and fun don't go together." Tyson muttered earning a glare from the teen himself.

"Wait a minute." Max said, "Did you just say Danny?"

Tiffany nodded.

"As in Mythicals team Danny?" Max continued wanting to be absolutely sure.

"Yeah. Anything wrong with that?"

"Oh no, no. It's just that the last time you saw them… YOU ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL!" Max suddenly shouted.

"Whoa. Max, calm down." Ray said.

"How can I calm down when I know she's going out the ones that put her in hospital!" Max retaliated.

"Geez Max, it's not like she's going to be alone this time." Tyson said as if it was no big deal.

"She wasn't exactly alone last time either, Tyson" Kenny remarked giving Ray a quick look.

Tyson shrugged, "Hey, it's not as I run my sister's life for her."

"As her brother you're suppose to watch out for her, Kinomiya." Kai suddenly said.

"Look, Hiwatari. My sister's old enough to do what she wants." Tyson replied if a tad bitterly.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to say something." Tiffany said a tad annoyed that they were speaking as if she wasn't even there. They all looked at her. "Tyson's right. It's my life and if I want to go out with Danny that my decision to make."

"But…" Max began.

"And I intend to just that whether you all like it or not." She continued then looked over at Max. "Why do you care anyway, Max?"

"Uh… I…" Max stuttered.

Just then Jon walked in and Max silently thanked him for 'interrupting'.

"Miss Tiffany."

"Yes, Jon?" turning to him.

"Mr. Evans is here to see you." Jon said.

"Show him in." she replied with a smile.

Jon gave a nod and a few moments later Danny walked in the room.

"Hi." He greeted.

"Danny!" Tiffany said getting up and half running over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss. Then seeing the shock on his face she winked as if to say 'don't worry its all part of the plan.'

He smiled, "Well hello to you too."

She giggled, "So you ready?"

"Yup."

"Great, let's go." Holding his hand and walking out.

Max growled at what he just saw and Tyson gave a small grin.

"What's the matter, Max? You wishing that was you." He teased.

"Shut up, Tyson."

Tyson gave a small chuckle and turned to Ray beside him.
"Hey Ray, you joining us at the pool?" giving him a pleading look.

Ray smiled at him.
"Sure Tyson." all the while thinking (-Kai's so gonna kill me.-)

This time it was Kai who growled.

"What's wrong, Kai?" Kenny asked.

"Nothing." He answered roughly. He didn't notice the small smile that appeared on Tyson's face soon after but it soon disappeared when he heard what Kai said next. "How about we join them, Max?"

"Sounds like fun, Kai." Max smiled.

An hour later everyone was at the pool with the exception of Kenny who was afraid of getting his precious laptop wet. Danny and Tiffany were in the water having a splash war. Tyson and Ray were sitting on the edge talking, their legs dangling in the water, every once and a while Tyson would splash his sister who never got a chance to retaliate thanks to Danny. Kai and Max sat on the sun beds watching them all.

"I don't like this, Kai." Max said as he watched Tiffany laugh and run through the water trying to 'escape' from Danny.

Kai did respond, he was too busy watching Tyson and Ray. Suddenly Tyson splashed Ray and chuckled at the now wet blader.

"Tyson, you better start running." Ray threatened if a tad playfully.

"Eep!" Tyson got up and ran from Ray in the direction of Max and Kai. "Max! You gotta help me, bud. I think Ray wants to kill me!"

"That wouldn't be a bad thing." Kai commented, although his mind thought differently. (-Ray, if you harm one hair on Tyson's head…-) his thoughts being interrupted.

"Who asked you." Tyson shot back.

"Sure I'll help you, Tyson." Max said.

Tyson was too busy looking at Kai to notice the mischievous glint in the blonde's eyes.

"Hey Ray." Max said, as Ray got closer. He then got up and looked like he was going to go over to him but instead grabbed Tyson's arms.

Tyson gave a small squeal at what Max did. Kai gave a slight smile thinking how cute Tyson had sounded.

"Wanna get revenge?" he asked with an evil smile.

"Max!" Tyson said a little terrified "You're suppose to be helping me not…"

"Sure would, Max." Ray interrupted as he grabbed hold of Tyson's legs.

They took the struggling Tyson over to the pool.

"Hey! Guys, let me go!"

Max and Ray smiled evilly to each other.

"Whatever you say, Tyson." Ray said.

They then threw him into the water, when Tyson surfaced he found everyone laughing at him… even Kai. He growled, "Ha ha very funny guys."

"Sure was." Max said before 'falling' into the water himself. After coming up he saw Ray had an innocently guilty look on his face. "Ray!"

"What?"

Max gave a small growl then saw Kai sneaking up behind him. He gave a small smile. (-Payback time, Ray.-) but just as Kai was about to push Ray in he moved out of the way resulting in Kai falling in instead.

Ray chuckled, "Have a nice dip, Kai."

Kai growled slightly. "Kon."

"Yes, Kai?"

"You're gonna pay for that." He said a tad playfully.

"Geez, lighten up, Kai." Tyson said splashing him.

Kai turned to glare at the bluenette but instead found himself staring at the half naked teen standing in the water. Tyson wanted to say something but found himself in awe at the sight of a dripping wet Kai.

Tiffany chuckled, "You two stare at each other much longer and you'll start to burn holes in each other."

Upon her comment the two teens suddenly looked away each of them having a slightly red hue on their faces.

Tiffany then turned her attention to Ray.
"Come on, Ray. Jump in."

Ray shook his head, "So Tyson can jump me? I don't think so." He then suddenly blushed realising how that must've sounded.

Tyson gave a mischievous grin at Ray's comment.

"Ray, you either get in by yourself or be forced."

Ray raised an eyebrow at her, "Forced?" he repeated.

At that moment Tyson, Max and Kai all got out of the pool and it was then that Ray understood what she meant.

"Uh oh." He said more to himself than anyone else. "Uh… guys listen…" he said while walking backwards then turning and running off a few moments later.

"Get 'im!" Max shouted.

And the three of them ran after Ray while Tiffany and Danny laughed at the situation.
