Sorry that I haven't updated in a while… no, I didn't forget about this fic, I just wrote myself into a corner… damn corners…


Damn captains… think they know everything… think that they can make people do what they want, even when more of those people is his boyfriend… wow, that sounds so cute…

Anyway, Kai's making us do two laps of the forest. THE WHOLE ENTIRE FOREST! TWO LAPS! And we don't even have a tournament coming up! I feel like crying, but I don't have enough energy to do that.

I have a feeling that Daichi's in front (him being the hyperactive midget he is), Ray's behind him, then it's me, and then Max's behind me. And Kai? He's probably hiding somewhere, watching us and making sure we're running…

Ooooh, Stalker-Kai… sounds naughty…

"Tyson, keep running." A gruff voice makes me lift my head. I had been leaning against an old tree to catch my breath (while thinking about things that I really shouldn't think about).

"Kaaaaiiii!" I whine. "Why're you making us run? There isn't a tournament nearby, no threat of annihilation and – WHY ME!"

Kai raises an eyebrow.

"I'm your boyfriend, Kai!" I pout, bringing up the puppy dog eyes that Max taught me.

He smirks and walks over. Upon reaching me, he leans forward...

"If," he whispers in my ear, his breath tickling my cheek making the hairs on my neck stand up, "you finish first… you'll get a… prize."

"What happens if I don't come first?" I manage to whisper.

I can literally feel him smirking. "Then the winner gets the prize… I just hope it's Ray…"

That's it. The green light is flashing! And that can mean two things: 1) GO! GO! GO! MOVE YOUR ASS, GRANGER! 2) oooh, that's it, mister, jealously has reached maximum level!

I push past him and run down the beaten track at a speed that could probably beat a cheetah on steroids…. No one, and I mean no one, is going to get that 'prize' apart from me! I mean, this 'prize' could be something gross, but the way he said it…

I grin as I spot Ray up ahead. I run past him and don't look back. Next it's Daichi. But I can't seem to get close to the bugger… hm…

"Hey Daichi!"

"Huh, WHA? How did you get so close?" He yells, upping his pace a little.

"It's called energy boost!"

"Where'd you hide the sugar, pie-brain?"

Pie brain? Why that little…

"Oh… Max has it!"

"Where is he?"

"Back there!"

He suddenly stops and I whiz past him, laughing…

"TYSON!" I hear him yell. "YOU'RE A CHEAT!"

"It's not even a race, Daichi!"

Oh, like hell it is, but I can't let Daichi win that 'prize'… I must win! Nya!


"Tyson cheated! Tyson cheated!" Daichi keeps yelling.

Damn, can't he understand that some people want to relax? I mean, the sunset on a beach is something that calms me… even when I've got a certain team captain in my mind… oh and that 'prize'…

"Daichi, that was training, not a race…" Ray tries to calm to hyper-active midget down. "And whatever Tyson did, I bet he isn't proud of it now…"

Oh, but I am proud, Ray… hehe…

I open one eye and glance at Kai. I honestly feel like drooling. The golden light is bathing him in…well… golden light… hehe… oh well, whatever; it makes him look damn well sexy… like an Adonis…

He cracks open one of his crimson eyes and looks at me, a mischievous look in his eye. Now that's something I haven't seen ever…

But my question now is… what's this prize? And when do I get it?
