"O.K. Where the hell is his room again?"

This simple, understandable question was left unanswered for quite a while. Max was staring up and down the hallway of what he believed was the floor Tyson was one, seeing as it was the floor he got in the elevator from.

"That's a good question," Max began, "And, to tell you the truth, I have no clue."

Kai stared at the blonde and sweat dropped, his heart slipping as Max said this.

"You mean we're on this floor out of pure guess work, and Tyson might not even be on this floor!" Kai questioned, his voice in between normal conversational talk, and shouting at the now nervous, and upset, Max. "You mean Tyson might be on a bus leaving town, and we may never see him again?"

"Kai, just because you like Tyson, doesn't mean I don't like just as much as you," Max began, tears beginning to form in his eyes. "He's my best friend ever. Do you really believe in that twisted mind of yours that I'd be here just because I want him to leave again?"

Kai watched as the blonde began to uncontrollably cry, his shoulders shaking, as he slowly let what Max said dissolve into his already overcrowded mind.

"What do you mean 'just because I like him?'?" Kai questioned, realisation crossing his features slowly.

"Don't be stupid, stupid," Max basically shouted. "You care about him a lot, Kai. Deep down, you know it's true, but you're just too scared to accept the fact that maybe you might actually care for someone, love someone more than you've loved in your entire emotionless, depressing, god-damn life."

What the hell is he talking about? Kai thought in his head. I can't love him. I don't even get on with him. He's just going crazy and all because Tyson was thinking again, and, of course, he's got everything wrong again, as usual…

But as they were fighting, Tyson was in a nearby room, packing his bag, his own tears falling from pain and heartbreak. He was cramming all his clothes into his bag, stuffing all his money into his pocket, searching through every draw, and then he stopped. There, right in front of him, were his two most treasured items in his worthless life. A statue of a dragon, perched on a high cliff, waves crashing against the rock face, as the invisible wind blew back the tree's leaves in the background, and a silver picture frame, with one of the happiest times he had ever lived. Tyson smiled a half smile at the picture, looking at his once joyous face, with all his friends around him. The Bladebreakers had just won the world championships for the first time, and they were holding the trophy high in the air. Rei was on the far side, his arm on Max's shoulder, and Max's arm around his neck, the other supporting the trophy. The Chief was in between the trophy and Max, smiling, his eyes hidden behind his messy hair. And then Tyson's smile began to fade slightly. Next to the trophy was Kai and himself, Kai on the left of the picture, with Tyson's arm encircling his shoulders, as Kai's was around his waist. But, what made the picture really worth wild was the fact Kai was smiling. Not a fake yeh-we-just-won-the-world-championships-so-I-guess-I-have-to-smile-for-the-cameras smile, but a real smile. A smile that Tyson had never seen before, and that had made him first feel a stronger attraction towards him than he already had.

Oh, Kai, Tyson thought sadly, I wish I was the one you truly loved. Or even talked to like a human being. You just don't know how much me seeing you kiss her like that broke my heart. You have now idea…

But then he heard shouting from outside his door. He snapped out of his deep state of thought to hear someone smacking someone, and really hard. There was more shouting, becoming more and more heated, and, being the boy that he is, he walked closer to the door to hear what was going on. He then stuck his ear to the door (as if he needed to when they're that loud…) But, what he didn't realise was that it was his team mates that were currently out there, shouting at each other, or, really, Max shouting at Kai for not being more upset.

"How could you not care!" Max shouted, even more tears rolling down his face.

"I do care, except I don't go screaming around with my face covered in water because "of something that has already happened and which I didn't really do!" Kai retorted, his blood pressure increasing, making him shake slightly.

"Yeh, right! You don't care about anyone but yourself! You're so heartless!"

Kai looked at Max, shock clearly labelled on his usually unemotional face.

"I didn't mean that," Max whispered, "Kai, I'm sorry…"

"No, if that's how you feel, fine," Kai began, turning cold and spinning around on his heel. "I don't care. Fine. If that's how you feel, I'll leave you to find him. And then you can explain to him that I used to love him, until you told me I had no heart whatsoever."

"Kai-"

"Shut UP!" Kai shouted, spun around, and pushed him into the door they were outside of.

But, seeing as that door was slightly opened, Max wet flying into the hotel room, disbelief on his face, as well as a slight pain, seeing as he bang onto the floor really hard. He closed his eyes for a second or two, rubbing his head, till he noticed that someone else was groaning behind him. He quickly got up and turned around.

"I'm so sorry," Max began, panic ringing in his voice, "I didn't mean to really. Let me help you….."

Max stopped talking when he saw who was on the floor. A blue haired boy was rubbing his head, still slightly dazed from falling into the post of the bed really hard, and his bed covers were on the floor, seeing as he tried to stop himself from falling onto the floor.

"Tyson?"

Tyson looked up, and when he saw Max looking at him with tear filled eyes, he began to feel a tightness in his chest, but when he saw another boy walk in, his breath caught in his throat. The boy he was looking at stared at him, stuuned. They just gaped at each other, till Max jumped on him and began hugging him tightly.

"Tyson!"

Tyson was too stunned to do anything, other than hug back and gape at the other boy still. But what caused the most pain for Tyson was the look on the other boys face.

He was shaking.

His eyes were closed.

Kai was crying…
