Chapter 9
"Are you saying that KAI is…………………..uke?" asked Max.
"I AM NOT!" exclaimed Kai, his cheeks tingeing pink.
Rei started to laugh, "Kai……..the………..GIRL?" he broke down in a fit of laughter.
"It's not funny!" growled Kai angrily.
Rei was having trouble breathing, but he still managed to say, "Yes it is."
Kai stood furiously, "FINE! I'm leaving!" and he stormed off.
Tyson looked at the other irately, "That wasn't very appropriate Rei."
Rei stopped laughing, sensing imminent danger.
"I think you should apologise."
It wasn't a suggestion. It was a demand.
"But I don't know where he is."
"He's three levels below us heading towards the back exit of the hotel."
Everyone stared at Tyson.
"How did you know that!"
Tyson shrugged, "Dunno. But if you won't go, I will."
And with that he got up and followed Kai.
"Did anyone else feel like Tyson was about to kill Rei just then?" asked Max quietly.
"Uhuh."
"He was just protecting is girlfriend."
"REI!" Max tried not to laugh, "STOP SAYING THAT!"
'Kai?'
'………………………..'
'Kai?'
'…………………………..'
'KAI!'
'…………………….'
'KKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!'
'STOP YELLING IN MY HEAD!'
'Sorry, but you should answer me.'
'…………………………….'
'KAI!'
'WHAT!'
'STOP IGNORING ME!'
'WHY?'
'BECAUSE! AND WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME ANYWAY?'
There was a pause, '……………I'm not quite sure.'
Tyson sweatdropped.
'If it makes you feel any better, I don't think your acting like a girl!'
'……………………….You're just saying that.'
'No I'm not!'
'Are too.'
'Am not.'
'Are too.'
'AM NOT…………..SHIT!'
'What's wrong?' asked Kai, sounding worried.
'I was so busy talking to you that I just walked into a wall!' said Tyson miserably.
'………………………………' Kai remained suspiciously silent.
'It's not funny,' said Tyson grumpily.
There was a very long pause, which Tyson suspected Kai used to compose himself.
'…………………………..no comment.'
Tyson pouted, 'Stop laughing at me!'
'I'm not!'
'I CAN FEEL IT! YOU'RE SMIRKING, AREN'T YOU!'
'……………………………….'
'KAI STOP SMIRKING AT ME, DAMN IT! IT'S NOY FUNNY! ……………..Kai? …………….Kai?'
'……………………………….'
'KAI?'
'…………….I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.'
'YOU WERE JUST LAUGHING AT ME, WEREN'T YOU?'
"Yes I was."
Tyson nearly jumped out of his skin.
"Looks like you found me," said Kai quietly.
Tyson gasped for breath, "You just scared the living hell out if me, you know that?"
Kai shrugged, "I do now."
Tyson mock glared at him, "Smartass."
Kai smirked, "And proud of it. Now, what is it that you wanted?"
"Are you ok?" asked Tyson looking genuinely concerned.
Kai nodded, "Yeah. Now if that was it, I'll be going," Kai turned and started to walk away.
Tyson glared at him, "You're lying."
Kai paused and turned back a little, "So what if I am?"
Tyson grinned evilly, "Then I'm just going to have to make you feel better!"
Kai looked at Tyson's expression warily, 'I have a feeling this is going to be painful.'
Rei had calmed down, and now the boys were wondering what they should do.
"Maybe upsetting them both wasn't a very good idea," said Max.
"You're probably right," agreed Kenny.
They both glared at Rei.
"What? Why are you mad at me? Kenny was the one who started it!"
"We really shouldn't blame anyone, it just happened," said Max quickly before Rei and Kenny started arguing.
"Your right, but we really should go after them," said Rei.
"You know, I really do think that this bond is affecting their behavior. I mean, normally, wouldn't have Kai killed us for even suggesting something like that?" said Max looking worried.
"Maybe not, but I doubt that he would have shown us that he was upset," said Kenny.
"And don't forget how defensive Tyson got. I thought he was going to kill me for sure!"
"I know, did any of you get this weird feeling when he told Rei to apologize?" asked Kenny.
"Yeah, it was kinda freaky."
"If this bond thing they have gets stronger, who knows what might happen," said Rei.
Max looked out the window and down at the streets below, "I think that things are going to get worse before they get better," he said quietly.
Kai stared in disbelief.
"An Ice cream parlor?" he asked incredulously.
Tyson beamed, "UHUH!"
"Why exactly are we here?"
Tyson rolled his eyes, "Duh! For ice cream of course!" he grabbed Kai's hand and pulled him inside.
Kai blushed and tried to make him let go, without any luck.
"Kenny?"
"Yes?"
"I just realized that they didn't tell us what they knew about their bond," said Max jumping up out of his seat.
"Pardon?"
"Well, we said we'd tell each other everything we knew, but they left before they told us anything."
Kenny quickly stood up, "Your right! Rei! This is all your fault!"
"Mine?"
"Yes yours, if Kai hadn't gone off we would have gotten them to tell us exactly what is going on!"
"HEY! You're the one that started insinuating all that stuff!"
"Well, I'm not the one who started laughing his arse of, am I?"
Rei sweatdropped, "I didn't laugh my arse off, I just laughed a lot."
Max sighed, "Why don't we stop fighting and go find them."
Tyson dragged Kai up to the counter.
"There's so much to choose from! That one looks good! But so does that one! And oh! Kai! Look that flavor! And that one!"
Kai sighed and sweatdropped.
'Just choose one.'
Tyson pouted, 'But their all so good!'
Kai groaned. He had a feeling they were going to be there for awhile.
Kenny glared at Rei as they walked down the street, "This is all your fault."
Rei smiled and sweatdropped, "Just keep looking! We'll find them eventually. And anyway, I though we were over the blaming me for laughing thing!"
Kenny glared at him, "I changed my mind."
Max smiled nervously, "C'mon now, quit arguing. Now, our best bet would be to look in an area where there are a lot of food shops……………………….well, we'll find Tyson there anyway. I can't really say that about Kai."
Rei and Kenny both sweatdropped at the thought of Tyson stuffing himself silly while Kai sat in a corner and glared at him.
"Even if they aren't there now, Tyson will go there eventually!" Max exclaimed cheerfully.
The man behind the counter looked like he was about to cry, "Please! Just pick a flavor!"
"But how can I? They all look so good!"
Kai sighed and quietly backed away from the counter, hoping to escape.
Unfortunately (for Kai) Tyson turned round immediately after Kai was a few feet away from him.
Tyson frowned at him, "You were trying to run away from me!"
Kai winced, 'Damn, he caught me'
'I can read you thoughts Kai!' said Tyson in a sing-song voice.
'Fuc-'
'KAI!'
"What?"
Tyson glared at him, "You know what."
Kai smirked, "If you don't like what I think, don't listen in."
Tyson pouted, "But I want to."
'Well you'll just have to put up with it, I'm not censoring my thoughts to protect your virgin ears.'
"MY EARS AREN'T VIRGINS!"
Everyone in the ice cream parlor stared, and there was a pretty long line behind them because of Tyson taking so long, so the room was pretty full.
Tyson blushed, "You did that deliberately, didn't you?" he muttered darkly.
Kai smiled innocently, "Me? Would I ever do anything like that?"
Tyson glared at him, "You're evil, you know that?"
Kai continued to smile serenely, "I try."
Tyson realized that everyone was still looking at him so he quickly turned back to the counter, "I'll just have 2 vanilla cones please."
The man behind the counter looked extremely relieved and quickly got Tyson's order.
Tyson paid, thrust a cone into Kai's hand, and then dragged him out of the shop.
"HEY! Look there they are!" exclaimed Kenny as he saw Tyson pull Kai out of an ice cream store across the street.
They quickly crossed the road and walked up behind them.
Max grinned, "HELLO THERE!"
Tyson jumped, "AHHH!"
Max laughed nervously, "Sorry, I didn't , mean to frighten you."
Tyson glared at him, "You're lucky I didn't drop my ice cream."
Kai sighed, "Yeah, he probably would have killed you."
Everyone but Tyson deadpanned.
"Yeah."
'HEY!'
Kai winced as Tyson yelled in his head. "Do you have to be so loud?"
Tyson grinned, "I sure do!"
Max, Rei and Kenny looked at each other.
"What do you mean? Tyson didn't say anything, how can he be loud?"
Tyson looked at Kai nervously , "Umm…..."
"Are you not telling us something?" demanded Kenny.
"Umm……." 'Kai what should we say?'
Kai shrugged, 'Whatever you want, it's your call'
Tyson glared at him, 'MY call? This has just as much to do with you as it does me!'
'I know, but whatever you say is fine with me'
'Oh no. I know where this is going! You're going to make me have to explain everything, and then you'll get mad at me because you won't like what I say!'
Kai glared back at him, 'Just say something to them!'
'NO!'
'YES!'
They stood nose to nose having a glaring match.
'NO!'
'YES!'
'NO!'
'YES!'
'NO……..Ouch!'
Kenny glared at them both, "Why are you having a glaring competition! And why aren't you answering Max's question!"
Tyson glared back, "Why did you hit me!"
"You were just staring at Kai! You totally zoned out! You coldn;t even hear us talking to you!"
Max looked between Tyson and Kenny with no small amount of concern, "Guys, please, don't fight. I'm sure Tyson will tell us what's going on, won't you?"
Tyson nodded sulkily and sucked on his ice cream.
Max tried to ignore the fact that Tyson currently looked like a 5 year old, "And besides, this really isn't something we should be talking about in the middle of the street."
Kenny nodded too.
Max beamed, "Now…….that ice cream looks good! Can we go and get some as well?"
Everyone sweatdropped.
Rei sighed, "You're nearly as bad as Tyson."
Max laughed and sweatdropped too, "Yeah, well………."
Tyson looked up with ice cream all over his face, "What do you mean by that?"
The boys walked back into the ice cream parlor and Tyson and Kai sat down, while the others went and got what they wanted.
Tyson happily ate his ice cream, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
Kai sighed, 'You have ice cream on your face.'
Tyson smiled back, 'Don't worry! I'll eat it later!'
Kai looked thoroughly disgusted and ate his ice cream slowly and without getting it all over himself (unlike Tyson).
Tyson finished his ice cream in record time, and looked over at the counter to see how long the others would be. It looked like they would be awhile. Bored, his gaze fell on Kai, who was slowly licking his ice cream and Tyson suddenly found he couldn't take his eyes off him.
'……………When I die I think I want to be reincarnated as an ice cream………..'
Kai stopped in mid lick and looked at Tyson questioningly. 'Pardon?'
Tyson laughed nervously, "Nothing!"
Kai kept on looking at Tyson for a second, and then went back to his ice cream.
Tyson stared.
Kai had just gotten ice cream on his nose. Then he blinked and went cross-eyed trying to look at it.
Tyson stared more, 'He looks so cute!'
Kai glared at him and started to vigorously wipe his nose, 'CUTE?'
Tyson sweatdropped, "Err…………"
Before they could say anything else the others came back.
Rei suddenly grinned, and turned to Kai, "So Kai, did Tyson buy that for you?"
Kai looked confused for a second, but then realized that Rei was talking about his ice cream, he casually licked it and said, "Yeah. Why?"
The others looked curiously at Rei and wondered what he was getting at, Rei smiled evilly, "Just wondering………."
"What were you wondering."
Rei grinned, "Well………………."
"Well what?"
"Tyson bought you that ice cream, didn't he?"
"Your point?"
"It was very nice of him, wasn't it?"
"………………………"
"I think going and getting ice cream is a really cute thing to do for a first date."
Max, Kenny stared at him.
Tyson blushed.
Kai blinked, "Excuse me?"
Rei smiled, "You're excused!"
Tyson glared at him, "Is it me, or have you been very annoying today?"
"It's you!" Rei exclaimed grinning obnoxiously.
Kai suddenly stood, looking very annoyed, "I've had it with you!"
It took Tyson 20 minutes to calm Kai down.
The whole time Kenny glared at Rei murderously, he had put them even further away from being able to get any information from Tyson or Kai.
"That was not a very diplomatic thing to say," was the only thing Max had said to him, and had then ignored him, while he tried to help Tyson.
Rei didn't go completely unpunished.
Kai had thrown his ice cream at him.
Much to Kai's amusement, the cone was still there, and the ice cream had melted into Rei's hair.
Rei sulked, and Kai smiled triumphantly as they all walked down the street back to the hotel.
'Nobody makes Kai Hiwatari mad and gets away with it.'
Tyson sighed, 'I can see that.'
