Chapter 8:

Glittery, Silver Stuff

Disclaimer: Me no own

Kai and Tyson exhaustedly ran through the forest. As they ran gust of winds tried to stop them, but with their might and will, they dashed through, leaving the wind to eat their dust. Their phoenix companion, Dranzer, flew above them as they smiled in triumphant. They were successfully at Operation: Escape Tala. Alas, one of their comrades, Kenny, had to be sacrificed in the process.

They finally reached the entrance to the forest. There, they saw Rei leaning against a crouching a pure white--with small specks of blue--wolf. Along side of him was Max who was sitting on the back of the wolf. In Rei hands lay a little, clear spray bottle filled with a silver substance. When the sunlight shone on the bottle it glittered. Not like horrifying glitter you drop during a party or glitter you put on your body that blinds your eyes, but more like glittery, sparkly water. The silver substance seemed to glitter like the sparkling water is a much better comparison. If it glittered like glitter, like literal glitter, then Rei wouldn't carry the thing in the open where everyone can see it.

Kai and Tyson stopped in their tracks. Did Rei and Max seriously believe they would walk over their with a massive, menacing looking wolf? That's just common sense to not go. Tyson may be kind of slow comprehending things, but he wasn't slow enough to know not to walk to a wolf. Kai wasn't going to willing stop and stare at Wolborg. He already was turning around ready to run home and ditch, till Tyson stopped him.

Max and Wolborg looked confusing at the two blue haired humans. Rei understood and couldn't really blame them for not coming over, he'd do the same thing if he saw this wolf just sitting there in front of him. "Don't worry guys. This little puppy is harmless."

Wolborg blinked, then growled playfully to Rei as he showed his fangs, "Who you calling a puppy?"

"The one who always complains, whines and sulks like a sick puppy. Can't go a day without hearing you go on about something. Then, your voice becomes high and squeaky making your complaints more annoying to listen to," Rei said matter-of-factly as he folded his arms, turned his head away from Wolborg, closed his eyes and strained himself to frown since he wasn't trying laugh and smile.

"You both are like two children. Now let's get back to the reason that Tyson and Kai came here," Max jumped off of Wolborg and dragged Rei behind him to Tyson that was still grabbing Kai who, once again, was preparing to run. Max cheerfully ran to them still dragging Rei. "Hiya Ty! Hello Kai. Hey a rhyme." He paused as he just realized he just rhymed three rhymes. "Oh man. I hope I don't do that again," Max slapped his forehead as he realized he rhymed once again.

Tyson began laughing as Kai rolled his eyes thinking Max was as childish as Tyson. Rei snickered behind Max who was blushing. Wolborg began coughing, he thought it was helping him hide his laugh, and any smart person would know that a long fit of coughing like that was to hide a laugh. Tyson stopped laughing, looked at Wolborg and said, "Why's he coughing like that? Is he sick? If so, you really need to see a doctor dude." Yeah. Notice what was typed was any smart person would see that. Tyson proved that he wasn't all that smart at the moment, not say he's dumb, just not smart at the moment.

"Tyson, you're a moron," Kai simply stated to his childhood friend.

"What! Can't you see him coughing like a maniac! Oh I get it. Just because I happen to be the only one caring for that wolf I get called a moron! Thanks Kai."

"Tyson he's fine. He just uh… had to much…fur in his mouth. You know… fur balls," thinking up good excuses didn't seem to work well for Max. "Right Wolborg!" Max shouted loudly, oh too loudly, at the wolf.

"What? Oh…I mean yes. I have to lick my fur just about everyday to keep it pure white like this. So yeah, fur gets in my mouth. So I get fur balls," Wolborg tried his best to make it seem realistic. No smart person would fall for it. Except Tyson who fall for it completely.

"So your name's Wolborg? Well good luck with that fur, Wolborg!" Tyson grinned at the wolf.

After the moron comment to Tyson, Kai had been staring at he wolf. He felt as though he seen the wolf somewhere before. Where? He wasn't sure.

Also, a question was nagging at his brain. Something he had been thinking about when Max spoke. He didn't know the answer and him not knowing an answer to something he wanted to know the answer to was really annoying. He kept thinking and thinking that it perhaps it was possible, but it may not. He was forming a migraine! He did not need anymore, you'd think he obtained an invincible endurance to them thanks to Tyson. Ah! He couldn't take it anymore. He wanted the answer and he wanted it now! "Wolborg, right? Can wolves even have fur balls?" Yes! He let it out and was now going to get his answer to the evil question.

"Uh… well…I can… cause I'm different… from other… wolves… yeah," Wolborg knew that Kai wasn't going to fall for it and wasn't really going to believe him if he told he was a bit beast.

"Are you a bit beast?" Kai simply questioned as though seeing a bit beast wasn't something new. He heard stories of them from his mother and read old, ancient documents about them within the library of his mansion filled with all kinds of old things like tales, history, diaries, in other words very rare books, books even believed to be erased from history.

Rei, Max and Wolborg stared at Kai and disbelief. Humans' memories of the bit beast was destroyed. No survivor of the war was given a chance to bribe, no one was given a chance to pray or remorse, not at all for the war was one taken placed due to the jealous and greed of humans.

"Bit beast? Kai you actually believed those stories?" Tyson couldn't believe that Kai saw those stories as truths. He placed both of his hands behind his ears and sighed as he explained to Kai as though he was a child, "Those rusty, old books and fairy tales were just legends you know you know." Tyson eyes became half way closed as he stared at Kai and said, "You talk about me being immature and here you are believing little books."

Kai said, through gritted teeth, to Tyson, "Shut up. Those books weren't fairy tales, you were just being dumb and decided to call them that because of the hand drawn sketches of the bit beast. She told us though stories and I know that whatever she said wasn't lies," Kai glared at Tyson. He heart also felt a little saddened. His best friend, his closest, friend his brother, Tyson thought that the stories told them him were lies. How dare he.

His eyes showed little emotions of pain. Pain from memories and this 'she' he spoke of. Tyson didn't see it. Rei did. Thank god that Tyson knew that whenever Kai spoke like that it meant, 'if you say another wrong word, I swear I'll kill you.'

"Okay. Who told you about bit beast?" Rei finally butted in to stop any kind of violence.

"Like Tyson here said, in tales and books we've read."

"Oh…" Rei trailed off. He didn't know if he should tell them the truth of not. Well they did see to be educated in the existence of the bit beasts, but he knows if they were given facts.

Rei looked over to Kai and saw his eyebrow lifted in a way saying he wanted to know if he war right or not. It was also saying that if you lie I will figure out the answer.

"Yes it's true Wolborg is a bit beast. A wolf bit beast to be precise. Please don't be afraid of this little puppy. He has a good heart and won't attack unless needed." Rei sounded half pleaded as he spoke. If they accepted Dragoon and mainly Driger without any signs of racist or thinking it over, then maybe, just maybe, Kai and Tyson will accept me and Max. I hope so.

"Sure. Why not?" Tyson shrugged his shoulders in a manner stating the fact Dragoon being a bit beast wasn't a big deal. "I'm pretty sure Kai here is thinking the same thing. He's a little softy no matter how hard he tries to make himself look tough." Tyson smiled ear-to-ear. That little smile really made Max and Rei feel better knowing that. Now all they needed was the answer from Kai.

"Hmph," Kai responded and put his head down. He was hiding a smile. Rei cat eyes were sharp enough to see it so Kai's bangs didn't really help.

"In Kai's language that means he's agreeing with you. See, no worries!"

"Good. Now let's go!" Max was about to run, but was grabbed by the back of his shirt by Rei.

"We gotta give them the stuff," reminded Rei to Max who was so excited that he completely forgot.

"What stuff?" questioned Max.

"The stuff," Rei answered irritably.

"What's the stuff called?"

"I don't know! That's why I keep calling it the stuff. I know the silver, sparkly stuff," Rei took out the bottle of the sparkly, glittery silver substance.

"Oh that stuff!" Max exclaimed as he remembered.

"Max…" Rei couldn't help but sigh at the forgetfulness of Max. C'mon, how can you forget something as glittery as that?

One brow of Kai raised as he looked at that disturbing bottle of glitter. He was no fool to anyone to not notice something shiny like that. Tyson's reaction seemed to be quite different than from what Kai would've expected…

"Whoa! That's the coolest glitter I've ever seen! What are gonna do with it?" Tyson squealed like a little brat and ran to Max who now held the bottle and knocked him over.

Now Kai's brows (notice the plural) furrowed downwards in anger. How dare Tyson like glitter! That stuff is evil. Evil girls wear it to make themselves look girly, at all times in the need of help, very feminine, cute and weak. So weak that you think you can effortlessly get a date with them. They refuse you or dump you ever-so-badly, you get so offended and heated you start to lose control of your body and forget the saying your momma told you or the major rule guys live by; Never hit a girl.

So what do you do?

You hit the girl. At the mast moment you remember the rule and you feel really stupid.

And what happens?

You get your ass kicked by a whole bunch of people that appear out of nowhere.

So what do you do?

You beg for forgiveness and plead for your life and say that the sight of her, and the glitter but you don't mention it, made you attracted to her and infatuated so much you try to woo her. Yes you say 'woo her.'

Why do you say it?

It sounds really fancy. So fancy that maybe the big mob of magically appearing people might fancy the word and think you're cool and use it.

"So what are you gonna do with it?" Tyson hopped around like a five-year-old excited about getting a power rangers toy.

"I think it's suppose to hide your scent from the wild animals and bit beast in the forest. If they catch you, you'll mostly likely get eaten."

Kai and Tyson observed the bottle. They were putting their lives--for Kai his pride with glitter-- in danger with that stuff. They nodded their heads as they waited for Rei to do whatever he was going to do with the stuff.

"Don't worry, the glitter won't show," reassuring words were spoken by Rei.

They stood up ready for whatever it was they were getting on them.

Rei and Max watched them. "Why are you standing like that?" Max asked.

"Don't you have to spray or pour it on us?" asked Tyson.

"Um.. No. The reason why I said the glitter wouldn't show was because you have to drink it."

Drink it?

"To hell if I drink that stuff," Kai protested as he crossed his arms and shut his eyes. Only a true moron--like Tyson-- would drink that stuff.

"Sure, why not! You are too Kai!" see? A true moron.

"No," came the simple response from Kai.

"Please, Kai," this time Rei asked.

The way Rei asked seemed to effect Kai somehow. He could resist it; he had to do what Rei said.

They drunk the weird stuff. To be truthfully, they really didn't even feel anything. Meaning, they didn't even know if it worked.

"Can you smell their scent Wolborg?" asked Max.

"No," he responded.

"Then that means it worked," Tyson said. He was pretty glad. It tasted like nothing. It ws pretty weird nothing. Like when you hold your nose and drink a liquid and it pours down your throat. Like a worm with no taste is traveling through your throat.

"Finally, now let's go."

"Where are we going?" Kai asked. He wasn't going anywhere unless he knew where.

"To meet a very special guy!" Then, Rei picked up Kai, while Max picked up Tyson, and they ran off into the forest carrying them.

All you can do is imagine the delightful yet pissy face Kai had.
