Chapter Five
Max quacked at the sound of his name, and then said with a sigh, "Dare,"
"Alrighty then! I dare you to ask Emily from the All-Stars out!" Tyson said triumphantly. "You butt into my life, I'll butt into yours!"
"B-But! E-Emily is…weird…" he said uncertainly.
"So is Hilary! But I did it! So, you've got to!" Tyson said.
"Argh…fine…where's the phone?"
Tyson tossed the phone over to him and Max dialed the number.
"H-Hi? Emily? I-It's Max. Yeah…anyway, I wanted to know, ummm, will you go out with me?" Max said and then without waiting for an answer, he hung up. "Phew. You just said, ask out, right? So, I really don't have to go out with her,"
"Damn. That wasn't what I was going for…" Tyson said angrily.
"All right! Rei, truth or dare?" Max said.
"Dare, I guess," Rei said.
"I dare you to actually go out with the guy from next door," Max said with a smirk.
"But-But he's a guy!" Rei exclaimed.
"Too bad, too sad," Max said. "Just do it. But later, let's continue the game for now,"
"Fine," Rei said sulkily. "Okay, Tyson, truth or dare?"
"Dare," Tyson said instantly.
"Heh, I dare you to act like you're in love with Kai," Rei said.
Silence followed this statement, and the three turned to look at Kai who was staring at Rei, but flicking his gaze carefully at Tyson who looked very confused.
"So, I have to act like I love Kai?" Tyson repeated slowly.
Kai turned to look at him. It's close enough…he thought.
"Well, I guess that's okay…" Tyson said, surprising everybody.
"But you really have to act like you love him. You know, flattery, hugs, all that," Max said.
"Fine, sure," Tyson said. He got up and walked over to sit beside Kai. "Hi!" he said brightly to Kai who looked at him curiously.
"Hi," Kai said somewhat softly, which really surprised everybody.
"I love you," Tyson said, grinning and peering into Kai's face.
"Right," Kai said, then turned away. "Chose someone Tyson,"
"Oh! Yeah. Max, truth or dare?" he asked.
"Dare," he said.
"I dare you to pretend you're Kenny," Tyson said.
"Oh, fine, that ain't so bad," Max said with a shrug. "Yo, Kai, truth or dare?"
"Dare," came the cold reply.
Max smirked and said, "I dare you to pretend you're in love with Tyson,"
"Fine," Kai said without hesitation, making the other three stare at him.
"That easily? No argument?" Rei asked.
"It's not that hard to pretend you love someone," Kai said. Especially when you already do…he thought, sadly. He looked up at Tyson and said, "I love you, Tyson,"
Tyson blinked, it was so weird to hear those three words come out of Kai's mouth. But, it wasn't like he really meant them, it was just a dare. Tyson squealed and hugged Kai, and said, "I love you, too!"
Kai, turning a light shade of pink at Tyson's gesture, said, "Yeah, fine, good. Just get off of me,"
Tyson pouted. "That's not showing love!" he said.
"Fine," Kai said. "Oh, Tyson! I'm so sorry! I'll never be so mean again!" He stared at Tyson. "Is that what you want?"
"Yes, much better," Tyson said with a smile and Kai couldn't help but smile back a bit.
Rei and Max watched this little display with bulging eyes. It was very weird.
"Okay!" Max said loudly. "Moving on!"
"Oh, yes. Rei, truth or dare?" Kai asked.
"Truth, this time," Rei said.
"Hhm, what is your greatest fear?" Kai inquired.
"Ah…um…mice…" Rei said quietly.
Tyson burst out laughing. Max snickered behind his hand, and Kai tried to suppress a small smile. "Mice! Hahaha!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Shut up, Tyson," Rei said through clenched teeth. "I pick you, truth or dare?"
"Truth, no, wait dare! Yeah, dare," Tyson said.
"All right, I dare you to go out on a date with Tala," Rei said.
"Ta-Ta-Tala?" Tyson stammered.
Tala! Kai thought angrily.
"Yes. Call up Tala right now and tell him you want to go out on an actual date," Rei said, smirking.
"B-B-Bu-But!" Tyson said. "I don't like Tala! He's creepy!"
Rei shrugged. "Not my problem. You're the one who picked dare,"
"But why Tala?" Tyson demanded.
"Because its just funny, that's why," Max said.
Argh. Damn Rei. Of all the people he could have picked. Tala! That bastard also like's Tyson. I can't let Tyson go out with him. If Tala has his way…Kai was fuming inwardly, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.
"Are you okay, Kai?" Max asked, noticing his odd actions.
"I'm fine!" Kai snapped.
Max stared at him for awhile and realized Kai was staring fixedly in Tyson. Max tried not to smile, and looked away as Kai turned to look at him. "Tyson, just do the dare. Here's the phone, call him!"
"Wait, I don't know his number!" Tyson said, seeing a small ray of hope.
"That's a problem," Rei said. "But, too bad for you that I do know his number,"
Tyson swore and gave a sad sob. Rei dialed the number and handed the phone back to Tyson who breathed deeply before saying, "Tala? It-It's Tyson…oh, I'm fine…yeah…well, I wanted to ask if you'd go out with me? Like on a date? Hmmhmm…yeah…you-you will? Okay, great. Later, bye!" Tyson quickly hung up and then threw the phone at Rei, who ducked and the phone flew across the room, narrowly missing the windows. "That was crap! I can't believe you're making me go out with-with-with-with"
"Tala," Max said, trying not to laugh.
"AHH! This is a nightmare! I've got to go out with Hilary and Tala! Do you like tormenting me!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Well, it's entertaining," Rei said.
Max nodded. "Don't you think so too, Kai?" he asked, turning to the older blader.
"What?" Kai said, absently. "Oh, yeah, right,"
"Kai! You're against me too!" Tyson wailed. "But you're supposed to love me!"
"That's just a dare, Tyson," Kai said. Too bad I can't tell him the truth. "But, if you want me to fight for you, then just say so,"
"Yes! Fight! I don't want to go out with Tala!" Tyson begged taking his hand in desperation.
Kai turned to the others, trying to control the flow of emotions that Tyson's hand in his brought into his veins. "On behalf of my…um…lover…I have to demand that you do not make him go out with Tala," he said.
"But, it's a dare," Rei said, staring with a shocked look on his face. Since when did Kai put up with Tyson's whining?
"Rei's right. And, besides, Tyson's already called Tala," Max added.
"So what? He can call him back and say that he's not going!" Kai said. This might actually work. There's no way in hell that I'm going to let Tyson go out with Tala!
"Sorry, Kai, but we're not backing down," Rei said and Max nodded.
Kai turned to Tyson and said, "Well, I tried,"
"You didn't try hard enough!"
"Why don't you just stand him up?" Kai suggested.
Tyson stopped crying abruptly. "Hey! That's a great idea!" Tyson said.
"Nope, that doesn't work either. You have to go out on the date. That's what the dare was," Rei said. "Go out on a date with Tala,"
Tyson sobbed again. "This is horrible!" he wailed.
Kai wanted very much to punch the living daylights out of Rei for making Tyson go through all of this. But he remained his calm, and awkwardly patted the younger blader on the back, trying to get him to calm down. "Tyson, it's your turn now," Kai said.
"Oh, right…Rei, truth or dare?" he said.
"Dare," was Rei reply.
"I dare you to cut your hair," Tyson said.
"What! Bu-But I love my hair!" Rei said, taking a hold of his hair protectively.
"That's no concern of mine," Tyson said. "Just cut it,"
Rei stared at the smug look on Tyson's face for having thought of a good dare. Rei smiled as well. "All right, bring me a scissor," he said.
Tyson stared at him. "You're actually going to do it?" he said. "Cool," He left the room and returned a minute later with a scissor, and handed it to Rei. He sat back down beside Kai.
Rei undid the bind on his hair, and then quickly, he snipped off about an inch of his raven hair from the bottom. "There, I cut it," he said, tossing the scissor back to Tyson, and putting his hair back up. "You never said how much to cut. Be more precise next time,"
Tyson groaned, dropping his head.
"You know you walked right into that one," Kai said, looking at the younger boy from the corner of his eyes. "Baka," he added.
Tyson let out a wail. "I-I-I thought you loved me!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms around Kai forcefully that the older blader fell over and Tyson fell on top of him.
"Ah! Tyson, get off of me!" Kai said.
"What? Don't you love me?"
Like you'll never know, Kai thought. Then, putting on a false cheery voice, he said, "Of course I love you! You're the best in the whole wide world!"
"Really?" Tyson asked staring up at Kai with big blue eyes.
Kai tried not to blush. Being in such close proximities with Tyson was very hard on him. He wished he could just tell the younger one his true feelings, but knew that he never could, at least not in front of Max and Rei. "Yes, really. Now, get off of me. You're squishing my legs,"
Tyson got off of Kai, but as he did he realized that he really didn't mind being so close to him. He shook his head. Stupid thoughts, go away! Tyson thought, wondering why he was thinking that way in the first place. "Rei, pick someone," Tyson said.
"Um, Max, truth or dare?" Rei said.
"Dare,"
"I dare you to do a strip tease at the mall," Rei said with a snicker.
Max turned a bright shade of red. "WHAT!" he exclaimed.
"You heard me," Rei said as Tyson burst out laughing, and Kai shook his head, suppressing a smile.
"B-Bu-But!" Max blubbered. After a while of trying to get out of it, Max realized that he wasn't going to win. He sighed, and said very reluctantly, "…F-Fine…I-I'll do it…"
This made Tyson laugh even harder, and Max blushed deeply.
"Kai! Truth or dare!" he said quickly, diverting the attention from himself.
"Hn, truth," he said, not looking up.
"Um, if you were told to live on a deserted island by yourself except with one other person, who would you bring?" Max asked. He looked straight at Kai, and every once in awhile turned to flick his gaze to Tyson. He might as well just tell everyone…It's so obvious. The way he puts up with Tyson's stupidity, the way it doesn't seem to bother him that he's got to pretend to love him. There's definitely something going on here, Max thought.
"What a stupid question," Kai said coldly. He knew perfectly well who he'd want to take…the naïve loud little boy beside him. Like I can really say that, Kai told himself.
"Come on, Kai, you've gotta have someone you'd want to take," Rei chimed in.
"Yeah, Kai, who? Who?" Tyson said. Hopefully it's not someone dumb likewait, why do I care anyway?
Kai glanced at Tyson, but then looked away, and replied, "I'd take no one. I'd rather be alone,"
Max shook his head with a sigh. "Fine then," he said. I know you'd want to take Tyson. You just should have said it, Kai.
"Rei, truth or dare?" Kai said.
"Dare," he said.
Kai smirked. He had the perfect dare. It wasn't so much as something for Rei to do to embarrass himself or anything. This dare would only benefit Kai, and since Rei had been the one to dare Tyson, it was only right to dare him. "Since I'm technically supposed to be Tyson's um…lover…and since you're the one that dared Tyson to go out with Tala…I dare you to let me accompany Tyson on the date,"
Rei blinked. "Why would you want to be on their date anyway?" he asked.
"Like I said, I'm supposed to be Tyson's…you know…so I've got to be there," Kai said.
Nice trick, Rei and Max both thought. Rei shrugged, "Well, I suppose so, but I dare you to not get involved with anything that happens. You can be there, you can talk and stuff but you can't get involved with anything that could go on,"
Does he know? Kai thought frantically. "…Fine," he said after a moment. It was better than nothing. "So, it's my turn again, right?" he said.
Rei nodded.
"Tyson, truth or dare?" Kai asked.
"Ah, truth," he said.
Kai said, "The same question that Max asked me. If you could have one other person with you, who would it be?"
Tyson put on a thoughtful face, thinking hard.
Kai waited in anticipation. What? Do I really expect him to say me? What will I do if he doesn't? What if he does?
"Um…I really don't know…" Tyson said after a moment. "I guess I'd want everyone there!" No. No. I wouldn't want everyone. If I could have just one person then it'd have to beTyson glanced at Kai, blushed, and looked away. "Okay, Max, truth or dare?" Tyson asked.
I suppose it's better this way…It would have been bad if he'd said someone and it wasn't me, Kai thought.
A/N: Thank you for reading! Please, please, please, review! In the next chapter or two I think I'm going to put in the actual dates. Um, if any of you also have an idea for a dare or truth for Max, that'll help me out. Well, byeness!
