Tyson's POV

Tyson was out at Starbucks Café, waiting for his drink of Coffee to come to him. He was sat down at a table at the top level of the eat establishment, and was staring out into space, thinking about what had happened earlier that day…

Earlier that day…

"What did you just say?" asked a now very angry Russian, whose eyes were now focused on the strawberry blonde boy, who was literally quacking in his shoes, slowly, but surly, walk backwards, away from the now advancing boy, who did not look very amused.

"I didn't mean it like that, Kai. Honestly." replied Max, who was now so caught up in his own world of what Kai would do to him, that he didn't notice the pair a eyes watching the scene from underneath a wooden desk, in the corner of the room, near a open window.

"Well, how DID you mean it? Did you mean that you were trying to defend Tyson, so that he wouldn't get into much trouble, or did you mean that what he did to me was SO funny, that I should try to calm down and accept the fact that it happened?" asked a now really pissed off Kai, who was getting closer and closer to the quaking boy in the other corner of the room.

Max, don't answer. Just get up and run. Start screaming for Hiro or someone, and get the hell outta there. Just do ANYTHING other than answer that question…

"Well, both, really." answered Max.

Max, why? WHY? You had a chance of living, but, now, you are in so much trouble, I'm not sure you're gonna make it… There's only one way you're gonna live through this, and I REALLY don't like what has to happen…

"Really? And WHY should I calm down when he did this to me…? If he did this to any of you guys, you wouldn't be defending him. If he did this to Rei, I don't think he would be in one piece right now. Am I right?" asked a fuming Kai, who was trying to get his pint across to the others, but not getting it through Max's thick head.

"Well, I guess. But, come on. He did it for a laugh. And we're talking about Tyson here. He NEVER thinks things through properly. I mean, I TOLD him it was a bad idea-"

Bad move, Max…

"You WHAT!" hollered a now infuriated Russian. "You KNEW he was going to do what he did, and you never TOLD ME! I fou thought I was angry at Tyson, you don't know HOW angry I'm at with YOU!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Everyone turns their heads towards the pine desk, and see that Tyson is standing there, with fear filled eyes, and he was shaking, like he knew that he was gonna die, and he seemed to be saying a silent prayer in his head, praying that he would live long enough to say his last goodbye and to write his last will and testament.

"THERE you are! You are SO dead Tyson. And, believe me, I NEVER break my word. NEVER! Now, HOLD STILL!"

After that little order, Tyson looked around for somewhere to escape, and found out the only way was to run into his friends and get them into trouble for not stoping him, or out the window.

I hope they know that I'm jumping out the window for them…

And at this, Tyson turned around, and threw himself out the window, and onto the roof, and tried to run away from Kai.

"Oh, no you DON'T!" yelled the pursuing Russian.

Tyson, after hearing Kai's voice, started running faster then he ever has in his life. He ran along the roof, shimmed down a drainpipe, and ran down the road within the time it took for Kai to get out the window and half way across the roof.

"Wow, he's fast, when he wants to be," stated an impressed Diachi, who saw the whole thing through the window.

Now

He knew that he couldn't go home, now that Kai was gonna be madder than ever at Tyson for running away from him like that, and making him look a fool in front of the others.

But it WAS kinda funny, what I did to Kai. I mean, all I did was switch his shampoo for honey, and take his towel away from him, and dump a load of feathers on him, so that he looked like a chicken. He got them out, eventually. So I don't see why he's so angry at me…

Well, now that I look at it, Kai's right. I wouldn't of found it funny if someone did that to me. I would feel angry and hurt that someone would want to do that to me, and I think that, know, I really owe Kai an apology.

A stray tear fell down Tyson's face.

But how am I gonna say I'm sorry, and explain that i never meant to anger him so much if I'm all the way over on the other side of town, and Kai won't let me in the house without being killed. I guess this is how it feels to hit rock bottom.

"Hey! Tyson!"

No, THIS is rock bottom.

Normal POV

Tyson looks over to his right, where he sees Rei, Max, Kenny, Diachi, and Hilary walking over to him, with worry written all over their faces.

"Hey!" said a cheery Max. "We were really worried about what happened to you."

"Yeh, we thought that Kai had found you before we had a chance to say goodbye." said Diachi, who was then hit over the head by Hilary, who didn't quite like the way that Diachi was behaving at a time like this.

"Yeh, well, I came here to think about how unfair that Kai was acting like this. But, just before you guys got here, I realised that I was the unfair one." said Tyson, to everyone's disbelief. "I mean, Kai didn't really deserve what I did to him, and, even though it was for a laugh, I hurt Kai's feelings by being completely and utterly selfish and stupid."

"Who are you and where's Tyson?" asked Hilary, who was sitting down at the table, staring at Tyson, and listening to all he had to say.

"Hah! Yeh, well, I wondered, 'How would I feel if one of my team mates decided to do all those things to me? How would I feel?'"

"You would feel upset and confused to why anyone would want anything like that to happen to you when you didn't do anything like that to them." said a monotonous voice behind Tyson.

Tyson sat silently, nervous about who was behind him, and slowly turned around to see Kai standing behind him, looking down at him with blood red eyes.

"Kai…. I…. uh….well, you see….." stuttered a nervous Tyson. Then, Tyson took a deep breathe, and said, "Kai, I'm sorry for what I did. I didn't mean it to be so harsh and everything, and there's no excuse for what I did, so, if you still want to hit the living daylights outta me, please, do it quickly."

Tyson then closed his eyes and tensed up to protect himself from the blows he was waiting for, but they never came. He looked up at Kai, and found that he was just standing there, with an amused look on his face. But then, as quickly as it came, it was gone, with a more serious look.

"No, Tyson. I'M sorry. I shouldn't have let that gotten me so angry, and," Kai turned to Max, "I'm sorry for scaring you and acting that way."

Everyone turned to Kai, and was in even more disbelief that Kai was apologizing. Kai, then, began to walk out the café, and turned around, waiting for everyone to come back to reality. Tyson was the first one.

"Come one guys. We've gotta practise blading." said Tyson, before looking at Max and saying, "You're gonna be my first victim."

After absorbing what Tyson was saying, which didn't take very long, Max got up and said, "In your dreams, Tyson. I'm gonna wipe the floor with you."

And, with that, they all start walking back home, un-aware of the eyes that followed them out and down the street, which were, more precisely, looking at one blader in particular…..
