"I thought I'd find you up here…"
Kai looked down from the sky and to the side of him to see Ray. The neko-jin smiled and sat beside him.
"Am I that predictable?" Kai asked, looking back at the sky again.
"No… just I kinda figured." Ray said, fiddling with his gloves. "Listen Kai, I have a problem. Well, it's not really a problem, just I don't know what to do."
Kai turned his head to Ray, frowning slightly. He had never known Ray to be this…nervous, especially around him.
"And what makes you think I can help?" He asked.
"I…uh… well, it's just that if I told Tyson, he would laugh, Hilary would go all mushy, Kenny would give me scientific gobble-de-gook and don't get me started on Max…"
Kai raised an eyebrow. "So, what is this 'not-technically-a-problem' problem?"
"…" Ray blushed furiously. "Well… what would you do if someone kinda told you that they like-liked you and you're not sure if it's…right?"
"Bryan." Kai said shortly, giving him an emotionless look.
Ray almost fell of the roof.
"I… what? W-Why'd you s-say th-that?"
"Bryan kissed you."
"Eep! How'd you…" Ray sighed. "I just don't know what to do Kai…" He looked down at the roof sadly. "I mean, I think I like him too, but…"
"You think it's wrong." Kai finished.
Oh well… now or never…"I know how you feel." Kai added.
"Huh? You do? How?"
"Because I know someone in exactly the same position as you." The Russian said. "Tala."
"He's…?"
"Yep."
"Who…?"
"Me."
"You're…?"
"Will you stop it with the questions?" Kai asked, fixing him with a fierce stare. He sighed and looked back at the night. "Yes, Ray. Me and Tala. Together."
"Kawaii." Kai heard Ray murmur after a while.
"So do you still think it's wrong?" Kai asked, not looking at him.
After a long pause, Ray spoke.
"No… but… I don't know how everyone else will react… especially the White Tigers…"
Kai smirked. "Just don't listen. If, when you tell everyone, they reject you for your sexual desires, I promise you can come live me Tal and me."
"Gee, thanks Kai." Ray replied, sounding happy.
"Hn. Now go to bed. Training's at 6 tomorrow."
"6! I thought it was at 7!"
"Hn."
Kai heard mumblings as Ray jumped off the roof and inside the dojo. He sighed and calmed his heart beat; he hadn't realised it had been beating so fast…
"Tyson! Get your lazy ass out of bed!" Kai roared, kicking the sleeping teen in the backside, making him fly into the wall.
"Ow! Kaiiiiii!" Tyson whined.
"What?" Kai barked. "Would you prefer if I set the cub on you?"
Tyson looked from the Russian to the Russian wolf, which was grinning evilly at him. He gulped and stood up, inching away from both. He slipped into the bathroom.
"Nice." Ray commented, walking in, hair slightly damp. "Remind me to try that on Lee."
Kai just raised an eyebrow, before walking out.
"Ack! Stupid Kai and his training sessions… more like torture sessions!" Tyson whined. "And why doesn't he join in?"
"Because he's the captain and he's physically stronger." Ray pointed out and Tyson continued to mutter under his breath.
They had just finished training and were walking through the woods back to Tyson's dojo. The sun was slowly setting, bathing the land in a golden glow.
"Hey. Where's Kai?" Max asked.
"Dunno."
"Well, I don't care where the sourpuss went. He probably went to sulk somewhere." Tyson mumbled.
'Oh how wrong you are, Fatty.'
"I don't know what you're saying, but I don't like your tone, young lady." Max mock scolded the little wolf like a mother. Moon Child just rolled her eyes and continued to trot alongside the teens.
"I haven't had a proper training session where the runt hasn't interrupted in a while." Spencer noted.
"I think Ian interrupted plenty of things." Bryan replied, ignoring the glare from the shorter boy.
They were walking along a path parallel to the Bladebreakers, though both teams were oblivious to each other (The paths were quite far apart).
"You know, I thought I'd be hot in my clothes, but I'm not." Ian mused, looking at his normal 'tournament clothes'.
"Heh, I have to agree with the Shrimp." Bryan said. Tala shrugged.
"I had them altered a bit. Thinner material." He said simply, then something caught his eye and he stopped.
"What is it, Cap?" Spencer asked, as the rest stopped too.
Tala growled. "Nothing. Moony's just wandering around. You guys go ahead. I'm going to see why she's out here alone."
"Fine, whatever. See you later Tala." Ian said, turning away and walking away with the others.
When they were out of range, Tala spoke.
"Alright, you can come out now, Kai."
Kai snuck away easily from his teammates, although Moon Child caught sight of him. He had heard Tala's voice nearby and had to see him.
He walked through the foliage, not knowing exactly where he was going, but continued anyway. He finally caught up with the Blitzkrieg Boys, but stayed out of sight, jumping from tree to tree.
Damn, Tala. He thought. Why does your jumpsuit have to be so tight around your legs?
After about five minutes, Tala spotted him.
Tala growled. "Nothing. Moony's just wandering around. You guys go ahead. I'm going to see why she's out here alone."
Nice cover up…"Fine, whatever. See you later Tala." Ian said, turning away and walking away with the others.
When they were out of range, Tala spoke.
"Alright, you can come out now, Kai."
Kai smirked and jumped out of his tree, walking up his lover.
"Long time, no see… ushka." He said, stopping a distance.
Tala pouted. "Come here, Kai. I want a hug."
"You want more than a hug, wolfie."
"True." Tala smirked. He took a step forward. "But come on, Kai!"
"Why should I?"
Tala's eyes started watering and Kai sighed. He walked forward and grabbed the redhead's chin, pulling him into a fierce kiss. The tears that had built up in Tala's eyes cascaded down his cheeks and Kai wiped them away. Tala wrapped his arms round Kai's neck, tilting his head slightly so that Kai could deepen the kiss.
When they broke away, Tala sighed.
"I've waited for that for over a month, Kai-ushka."
Kai smirked. "I know, wolfie." He stared gently into Tala's icey-blue orbs (Tala's arms are still round his neck.). "I have too."
Tala smirked too and Kai leant in again...
