Jasmine: Sorry I haven't updated, but the thing is, Exams are now, like, every term, I have at least 2 hours of homework a night, and school doesn't end, including activities, until 6:30. Soz. But, now, I'm HERE!

Tala: Is that good or bad?

Rei: Good for the readers, but bad for you…

Tala: What's that meant to mean?

Jasmine: -smiles evilly- You'll have to wait, won't you?

Max: ENJOY!

Jasmine: And, from the last chapter, seraph means archangel or something. Don't ask…

Disclaimer: I hate this so much…

Kai looked at Rei indifferently, and then began to walk out the room. He didn't want to talk to Rei about any of this, because it had nothing to do with him how he felt about anyone. He slowly walked out of the large, black countered and white tiled kitchen, not answering the question, until Rei said something else.

"If you don't tell me, I'll just ask Tyson, you know."

Kai stopped dead on the spot for a second, and then turned around to glare at the neko-jin in front of him. How dare he threaten him? How could anyone threaten him, Kai Hiwatari, when he made it quite clear that he did not want to talk to some stupid child about how he felt?

"You dare, and I will cause you so much pain, you have no idea."

Rei looked at him evenly, and then let out a sigh of exasperation. Why wouldn't he open up?

"Kai," Rei began, "you need to understand, if you like someone as much as you like Tyson, then you shouldn't hide it. Love is something strong and unbelievable hard to get. You have it right in front of you, but you're not even considering the idea of happiness that is rightfully yours."

"How would you know what I'm feeling or going through?" Kai spat, angry that this stupid kid should try and understand him. Rei turned around and walk towards a cupboard and opened it. Inside were various teas, coffees and other hot drink mixes. He took out two blue mugs and began to boil water in the kettle near the large sink. He continued to make the drinks while talking to Kai.

"If you don't tell him, Kai, one day you might regret it."

"Is that a threat?" Kai questioned, glaring at the back of Rei.

"No, and you know it's not."

"Do I?"

Rei looked up and glared at Kai, and if you had seen it, you would have thought this would have been a close second to Kai's award winning death-glare. And, to be honest, Kai was even a tiny bit taken aback. However, he quickly recovered.

"Tyson has always been there for you, Kai. You don't know what he's been through, and you never will if you don't swallow your pride and accept that maybe you do like him and you do want to get closer to him, whether for friendship or more."

Kai stared at Rei. He was right, though he hated to admit this. He did like Tyson, and a lot at that. He always thought that he had a special, unique air about him that was so irresistible, that wanted you to make you get closer to him. He always believed that was the reason why so many people wanted to be friends with him, even though he was usually a big-mouthed idiot.

"I hate you right now," Kai stated, glowering at Rei, who only smiled back at him.

Rei smiled sweetly at Kai, making Kai even angrier at said boy. He didn't like to be around anyone who believed by any false hope that they were able to break the ice around his dark, loveless heart. He left the room quietly, and padded his way back to the living room. H didn't know what was going on, but the moment he walked through the room, he heard a sigh of relief and his name being shouted out.

"Kai! You gotta help me. She'll be back any minute," Tyson said a frightened look on his face. "She's gone crazy. She's gone to get curlers and a strengtheners and something that sounded a lot like perfume and lotion. Please, untie me and I promise that I'll practise downtown right now for 2 hours straight with you. PLEASE!"

Kai looked at the tied up form of Tyson. He looked so innocent there, tied up like a little kid mixed up in the real world. Kai quickly snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a loud voice from the other side of the house shouting.

"Tyson, I couldn't find the large curlers, so you'll have to do with small ones. Sorry."

Hilary continued to talk on, but Kai quickly turned back to Tyson and rapidly undid the ropes around him. He quietly grabbed Tyson's arm and dragged him to the kitchen, where they went through the back door, and onto the Dojo's large roof. It took Tyson a little longer, considering the fact that the last time he went up there he nearly fell to his death. They waited quietly for about a minute, until they heard a loud yell.

"Where the HELL are you Tyson Granger? When I get my hands on you, you're gonna wish that I ONLY did your hair. Now I'm gonna give you a complete make-over."

Tyson cringed at the thought of this, knowing that her make-over consisted of a green face mask, nail polish, lipstick, and hair. He never wanted her to do any of that to him, because he's seen what her make-over's do to people, and those people have been scared for life.

Kai began to drag Tyson over the roof, onto the other side, where Kai quickly jumped down, pulling Tyson with him. He landed with much grace, whereas Tyson landed hard on his bum.

"Ouch," Tyson muttered.

Kai grabbed Tyson and they both ran to town, out of danger, as far as Hilary was conserned, until they returned home that night.

However, at that exact moment, a pair of devious eyes glared at them both, a folder in his hands.

"My, my, Tyson. Won't your so called 'friends' LOVE to hear what I've just learnt."

The figure swiftly jogged away from his hiding place, into a deserted road, where he disappeared without a sound.
