Chapter 6: 'This Bites'

Kaire bit her lower lip. "Tyson! Calm down!"

Tyson looked at her like 'are you crazy!'. "Kaire! I'm being serious! What are you doing here, meeting Kai?"

"I... I..." Kaire looked back to Kai.

Kai's dull eyes made contact with Kaire's gray ones. He turned his head to face Tyson and Kenny. "I asked her to meet me here because I didn't want any of you to know that I was here."

"And why not?" Tyson asked, stubbornly.

"Because... I just didn't want you to know." Kai said to him, firmly.

Tyson's eyes grew wide. "Shows how much of a friend you are.- C'mon Chief." Ty turned to began walking away.

Kenny sighed. This sucks. He thought as he started following Tyson.

Kaire sighed. "Sorry. I didn't know that they'd be here."

"It's alright..." Kai looked at his hands on the table, starting the era of silence between the two.

Kaire looked around the busy air port that surrounded them. She, herself, was still trying to figure out why Kai had asked her to come and meet him. Why would he want her to come? It was a mystery to her; a mystery that might never be solved. "Don't worry Kai.. Ty just gets cross a little easier lately because of everything that's happened..."

"Wait... everything that's happened?" Kai stopped her from continuing.

"Uh.. yeah.. You know.. You quit the Bladebreakers.. and yesterday... Ray and Max did, too. But that's all I know... I got here after it all happened."

"Who said I quit the team?" Kai requested, still looking at her.

"..." Kaire shrugged. "Kenny and Ty just said that you had quit the team... They didn't say who told them..."

Kai disengaged eye contact with Kaire. He tried to diliberate who came to that conclusion or how they would. The Bladebreakers, no matter how amoral the idea seemed at the time of enlistment for Kai, were really all Kai had anymore. Then, a theory popped into Kai's brain; his head snapped up. "I know what it was! I sent Ray a letter saying that I couldn't come to this ostensible meeting which the team was having yesterday. I think he might've misinterpreted what the connotation of the letter was! He probably told Kenny and Tyson what he thought I meant..." Kai sighed heavily. "Well.. in the words of Tyson... This bites."

Kaire agreed with him. "Yeah.. you're right.. It does bite.." She stood up. "Well... I guess we have to fix what's wrong!- Right?" She bit her lower lip, looking to the young blader.

Kai stood up, putting the bag's strap back on his shoulder. "Kaire.. don't let anyone ever tell you that you're a covetous girl..."

Kaire grinned. "Well.. I hate being greedy!-- Besides! It's rude!"

Kai chuckled. "C'mon... As you said, let's go make things right."

"Alright!"

The two young bladers traveled through the maze-like air port; heading towards Tyson's house once they reached the outdoor cityscape.

- OOC:

:me: Yay! Another chapter! Even though it was quite short! I didn't have that many more ideas... Just thought I'd finished up the little bit of scene between Kai and Kaire in the air port that wasn't "shown" in chapter 5! Now it's time for yet another chat with the less- disinterested Tyson! WOOPIE! XD. Anyways.. I hope you guys like the story so far! please review! Thankies! 3 Whit -
