Disclaimer: I don't own anything but this crazy story of truth and dare.
Author's Note: Hey! Look I'm back! Did I make my deadline? Huh? I think I said two weeks from March 15, and today is the third. Okay, so I missed it by I few days, but that's okay, right? You forgive me, right? Right? Anyway, here you go, chapter seven, which is sort of short, I know, but it's okay that I updated right? I'll try to make it longer next time. Well, I'll shut up now, go and read! Please review too! Yours, SilverRose88.
Chapter Seven
"That was a nice break," Rei said as he emptied a bag of popcorn into a bowl.
The group had returned to Tyson's dojo and were stocking up on junk food and drinks before beginning the game again.
"It was!" Tyson said excitedly, putting some pizza rolls onto a plate. "I had a lot of fun!"
Kai glanced at him quickly, then picked up a tray of drinks and walked off to the room. Tyson stared after him, confused, and a little upset, though he wasn't sure why. Rei and Max looked at each other, raising their eyebrows, and then the three followed Kai to the other room. They sat down in their same spots, and munched on food for awhile.
"Okay, we left off on Rei, right?" Max said.
Rei nodded, and began, "Oh, yeah, um…Ty"
"TYSON!" came a high-pitched voice after the slamming of a door.
Tyson cringed. He knew that voice. "H-Hil-Hilary?" he muttered as the door to the room opened and Hilary stood in the doorway, fuming.
"Tyson! What are you doing here?" Hilary said.
"Um…this is my house?" he said obviously.
"Don't be smart with me!" Hilary said. "I thought we were going on a date!"
"Which one of you called her!" Tyson asked, staring at the other three boys. He hadn't called Hilary, hadn't one planned on calling Hilary, but someone had, and that had to be why she was here. Tyson looked around at them all, and counted Kai out, because he was just sitting there with his eyes shut. But, Max and Rei were sporting innocent looks and Tyson rounded on them. "You guys! Why'd you call her! I was going to!"
"No you weren't!" Max said. "You kept forgetting! So, we took the liberty and called for you,"
"B-Bu-But!" Tyson stammered. Oh, no! This is not good!
"Tyson! Why didn't you call me about our date?" Hilary asked. When Tyson didn't' answer, she looked around the room and said, "What are you four doing anyway?"
"Um…eating?" Tyson said, pointing to the mass of food in the middle of the room.
"What? You've been sitting here eating food, while I've been waiting for you to come so we could go out!" Hillary said, angrily.
"No-No! We weren't just eating! We were playing truth or dare!" Tyson said, but realized a second too late, that this was not the right thing to say.
Hilary paused, looking at him, and then practically exploded. "WHAT! You've been playing truth or dare when you're supposed to be on a date withwait. Were you dared to go out with me!" Hilary questioned.
"Um…no?" Tyson said carefully.
"Tyson! You're coming with me! You promised me a date and we're going to have one!" Hilary grabbed Tyson's collar and dragged him out the room despite the boy's shouts, "Save me! Help!"
Soon the yells of the bluenette faded into the distance and the three left in the room sat quietly for a moment. Max and Rei then looked at one another, then at Kai who was glaring at the door. A moment later, Kai stood up and walked out. Max and Rei grinned at each other.
"He's gonna follow them?" Rei said.
"Oh yeah, he's gonna follow them," Max confirmed. "But what are we supposed to do now?" Max said.
Rei
shrugged. "Knowing Kai, he'll want to get Tyson back as soon as
possible. But, knowing Hilary, she'll want to keep Tyson for a
long time. So…it's really hard to tell,"
"Want to stay
here and pig out?" Max suggested.
Rei shrugged again. "Sure, why not?"
Kai swore angrily. Who did she think she was? Taking off with Tyson like that! Kai watched closely from behind parked cars and trees, as Hilary dragged Tyson around the town.
"Hilary! Please let me go!" Tyson wailed.
"Not a chance. This is revenge for doing that dare!" she said.
"But I never said it was a dare!"
Hilary looked at him, relief and hope across her face. "So…then…you really do love me?" she asked.
"I didn't say that either," Tyson replied.
Hilary snapped. "Because of that, you're never leaving!" she exclaimed angrily. "Now, shut up and quit complaining!"
"B-B-But Hilary! I wanna go home!"
"Too bad. So, what do you want to do? We can just take a nice stroll in the park, go see a movie, go to the arcade"
"Arcade? Oh! Yes! Let's go play some games!" Tyson exclaimed, attitude taking a drastic turn. He dragged Hilary across the street to the arcade, chanting, "Games! Games! Games!"
Kai glared at Tyson. What was he doing? Actually going on a date with-with Hilary? No. This isn't Tyson's fault. It was Hilary's fault. Kai turned to stare angrily at the girl's back instead. She was purposely taking Tyson to places he would like; she was trying to get him to like her. Yes. This was all her fault. And Rei's too, since he was the one to dare this damn dare. Kai sighed and stood up straight, and followed Hilary and Tyson to the arcade, trying to keep a good distance.
However, Hilary saw him and cursed. What is he doing? Following us on our date! I've got to lose him somehow! "Hey, Tyson, want to see a movie? I don't want to play any game," Hilary asked.
Tyson pouted. "But I want to play games!"
"Please? I'll take you later, okay? Let's go see a movie first!" Hilary said, then dragged him off to the theatre.
Now what? They're going to a movie! What's Tyson up to? He's just going right along with this! Kai thought furiously. I'll wait a bit, then go in after them.
Tyson and Hilary paid for their tickets and went inside. After a few minutes, Kai went to the teller and asked for a ticket to the same show. He entered the theatre and found them buying food. Kai watched as they fussed over popcorn and candy. Tyson got annoyed by something and knocked over an entire box of popcorn out of Hilary's hands, and the kernels went flying everywhere. Hilary yelled at him and dragged the boy, who was crying over his spilt popcorn, into the viewing room.
Kai let out a rare chuckle and followed them inside. He spotted them in the front rows and took a seat two rows back.
Oh, no. He followed us in here, too! Hilary screamed mentally. What does he want? "Tyson, we're going!"
"B-Bu-But the movie!" Tyson said, staring at her in disbelief.
"I'm bored. Let's go!" Hilary said, grabbed his wrist and led him out, careful to make sure he couldn't see Kai.
Damn, what the hell? Wait. Does she know I'm here? Kai wondered. He shook his head. Doesn't matter, I'm getting him back. Tyson's mine, damn it!
Hilary quickly ran off with Tyson, who was only getting more confused by the second. She decided that all this running was getting her hungry, and since Tyson loved food, she led him into a nearby restaurant to eat.
"Hilary, are you okay? You're acting weird," Tyson said as the two of them were sitting in a corner eating some snacks.
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine, really. Thanks for worrying about me, Tyson," she said, and smiled.
"Of course I'd worry about you! You're my friend!" Tyson said.
"Just a friend?" Hilary asked.
Tyson stared at her. "…Yeah, I guess…why?"
"Tyson! I already told you that I love you!" Hilary exclaimed.
"B-But-But, H-Hilary…I-I"
"Do you love me or not, Tyson? I have to know!" Hilary demanded.
"Well, you see…I-I-I'm not really sure…" Tyson said quietly. "I-I think I sort of like-like-like…"
"Oh, I get it," Hilary said. "So you really don't love me, huh? Then why did you say you did? I can't believe you'd do something like that Tyson! It must have been a dare! Argh! I'm so mad! You played with my feelings and it hurts, Tyson,"
"Look, I'm sorry, okay? But you are my friend, Hilary, isn't that enough for now?" Tyson asked.
"But I love you!" Hilary said, and then to prove it and leaned across the table and kissed him.
Tyson's eyes widened in shock and he didn't have time to move away.
Kai saw it all. He stopped dead in his tracks, and stared surprised, at the back corner of the restaurant. …They're…kissing? Kai wondered, feeling this unusual emotion tugging at his heart. Kai watched and Hilary pulled away, and took Tyson's hand and the younger boy (still in shock, though Kai didn't know that), didn't move away or say a word. Kai turned on his heel and walked out of the restaurant, and when he was about a block away, he began running quickly back to the dojo. It wasn't until then that he realized the feeling in his heart had been that of his heart shattering.
"Kai! You're back!" Rei said, looking up from a chess game he was playing with Max.
"Where's Tyson?" Max asked, nothing that the younger boy wasn't there.
"Couldn't you get him back?"
"Did you give up?"
"We can't start playing without Tyson,"
"What happened?"
"Shut up, will you? It's none of your business," Kai said, sitting down in his usual corner. He shut his eyes and leaned back against the wall.
Max and Rei turned to each other and raised their eyebrows. "What happened do you think?" Rei whispered.
"Something bad, that's for sure," Max whispered back. "He looks pissed,"
"And upset,"
"Best just leave him alone for right now,"
"Wonder why he came back here anyway?"
Kai peeked open his eyes at that last statement. Why had he come back here? He really didn't want to see Tyson again right now, so why did he return to the dojo? Kai sighed and shut his eyes again, realizing that if he came back that maybe he'd be able to find an explanation as to what the hell Tyson was doing kissing Hilary.
The three sat in silence for awhile, Max and Rei still continuing with their chess game, and Kai still sitting in the corner, fuming. About ten minutes later, they heard the door open and shut and the shuffle of feet as someone walked down the hall. Tyson opened the door to the room and entered, seeming a bit flustered, and this only angered and depressed Kai even more.
"There you are!" Max said. "Took you long enough,"
"Sorry about that," Tyson said, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's kind of hard to get away from Hilary easily,"
"Sooo, how was your date?" Rei asked.
"Not that wonderful," Tyson said truthfully.
Kai looked up at him, surprised.
"Hilary was acting really weird, and she kept running around the place as if getting away from someone who was following her or something," Tyson said.
Max and Rei hid their smiles, glancing at Kai who looked away.
"But we ate out and that was good," Tyson said. He decided not to mention the kiss, because he wasn't sure what he would say. And, Tyson realized as he turned to Kai who was staring off into space, that he wouldn't want Kai to know about it, but he wasn't sure why.
"All right, Rei, it was your turn," Tyson said.
"Okay, Max, truth or dare?" Rei said.
"Um, dare,"
"I dare you toWait. You still have a dare to do, don't you?" Rei said, suddenly remembering.
"I do?" Max said innocently.
"Yeah, you do! You're dare to do a striptease at the mall!" Tyson said.
"Oh, damn, I was hoping you'd all forget," Max said with a sigh.
"Come on, to the mall! Mall! Mall! Mall!" Tyson chanted, bouncing up and down childishly.
"Let's go and get it over with," Max said standing up.
"Coming Kai?" Rei said.
"Hn,"
"Awww, Kai, let's go, come, come, come!" Tyson said, staring at the older blader with happy pleading eyes. "It won't be any fun without you!"
This made Kai look at the younger boy and agree. "Fine, let's go. I'll drive," Kai stood and led the way out, fishing in his pockets for his keys.
As they walked out, Tyson spotted a piece of paper fall out of Kai's pocket. He picked it up and was about to give it back when the writing caught his eye. It was a movie ticket to a movie that afternoon. A ticket to the movie that Tyson had gone to with Hilary. Tyson stared at the stub, brows furrowed and confused. What is this? W-Was Kai at that movie too? But I didn't see him. And-And why would he be there anyway?
"Are you coming or what, Tyson!" Kai called from inside the car.
"Hold on!" Tyson said, running over and shoving the stub into his pocket. While the group drove to the mall Tyson sat thinking about what the ticket meant. I don't get it. Why would Kai have that ticket? Did he follow me? Why?
