P.S. Thanks again to all who have reviewed so far!
Rei, Max and Tyson all searched around and found Kai just as he was coming out of the boy's lavatory. Rei pushed Tyson forward.
"Go talk to Kai. Max and I will be right back. We'll be just grabbing a drink from the snack table."
Max and Rei raced off, before Tyson could say anything. Taking a deep breath, Tyson then yelled "Hey Kai!" Kai turned his head and caught Tyson's eyes. Tyson ran up to him as Kai stopped and waited for him to reach him.
"What do you want, Tyson?"
"Can't I just say hi without any suspicion, Kai?" Tyson smiled as Kai smirked.
"Okay then, hi. Now leave me alone." Kai replied as he begun walking away.
"Wait, Kai! I'm not finished yet." Tyson yelled as he caught up with Kai. Kai stopped.
"I knew you wanted something." Kai stated bluntly.
"Okay, you were right. Um, Kai, do you have a wig? A red wig?" Tyson asked as Kai's eyes narrowed.
"Is this a joke because this isn't funny?" Kai added, annoyed.
"Wait, that's not what I meant. I mean do you know a guy that looks like you?"
Kai looked at Tyson, slightly annoyed. "Okay Tyson, this is getting old."
"I meant a guy that looks like you but isn't you. Like, I don't know a brother or something?"
"Oh him, you mean. Yeah Tyson, he's my brother." Kai smirked after thinking for a moment.
"Really?" Tyson smiled curiously. "I never knew you had a brother."
"I don't," Kai glared as he scoffed. "It's called sarcasm, Tyson. I'm an only child."
"Then how come there is a guy that looks like you except with red hair and almost acts like you except for the whole being... perverted thing?"
"Perverted?" Kai lifted his right eyebrow.
"Yeah like, um, when he grabbed Max's, um, butt and stuff."
Kai stared at Tyson, again annoyed. "Tyson, this better not be one of your annoying schemes to get attention."
"It's not!" Tyson fumed. "There is a guy, unless it's you..." Seeing Kai's glare, Tyson corrected himself. "Not that I'm saying it's you but-"
"Tyson, I have no idea about this so-called pervert going around the set, grabbing Max's ass and stuff. Seriously what am I? All-knowing?"
Tyson frowned. "Well you act like it."
A small smirk formed on Kai's lips. "Well then I guess that makes you an idiot because there is no one in the world that looks like me except-" Kai paused as he saw a mirror image of himself walk by except with two-toned red hair instead of blue. Kai's mouth dropped open slightly but he closed it quickly and focused on Tyson.
"Kai? Kai, are you okay?" Tyson asked concern in his face and voice. Kai looked into Tyson's face, studying whether or not the whole thing was a prank. But Tyson held no other look except worry. Kai walked away from Tyson, and began following his double while leaving Tyson standing there alone. Tyson quickly followed after Kai.
"Tyson stay." Kai ordered, pausing just long enough to point at the floor at Tyson's feet.
"What am I? A dog?" Tyson argued.
"Good boy. Now sit." Kai added, as Tyson glared at him. "Just stay there. I'll be back."
"Hmph, fine!" Tyson grumbled as he watched Kai walk away until he was gone. "Now what am I going to do till he gets back? I hate waiting." Tyson whined, not realizing that someone had crept up behind him.
"Boo!" The person yelled, causing Tyson to shriek in surprise and turn around. Max was standing behind him, laughing and holding his stomach.
"I scared you! Ha! Ha!"
"Yeah very funny, Max," Tyson grumbled as his heart rate returned to normal.
"But that was great! You should have seen your face. It was like this," Max said, copying Tyson's reaction to his scare.
"Okay, okay. I get it." Tyson pouted as Max grinned broadly at him.
"Oh don't be mad Tyson. You should go scare- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Max screamed and jumped as a spider dangled in front of his face. Another laugh came from behind him, followed by a voice.
"I got you back Max!" Rei smiled, holding a wooden stick in his hand that had a string and a fat plastic spider that hung from the top. Max, who was still holding his hand against his chest, glared in Rei's direction as Tyson began to laugh.
"Good one Rei." Tyson said between laughter.
"Don't glare at me Max. It's revenge for earlier." Rei quipped. "Anyways Tyson, did you ask Kai about that red-haired guy that looks like him?"
Tyson shifted his body and began rubbing the back of his neck with his right hand.
"Yeah, well...kind of..."
"You didn't, did you?" Rei eyed Tyson.
"I did too!" Tyson huffed. "It's just that when we were talking about it, Kai got all weird on me and walked away, ordering me to stay put like some dog."
"Now what do we do? Either Kai's walking around with a red wig on being a pervert or it's someone else?" Max said, looking to Rei and Tyson for an answer.
"How can it be Kai? Kai would never grab anyone's butt, especially not yours Max." Rei added.
"And what exactly is wrong with my butt?" Max glared.
"You're taking it all wrong. I meant that Kai would never grab anyone's butt ever." Rei said, correcting his wording.
"True... that red-haired guy makes me so mad! He's such a pervert!" Max huffed.
"Well Kai said he'd be right-" Tyson words were cut off as he felt arms wrap around his waist. Red tinged his cheeks as he turned his head around and saw red hair and gold eyes.
"Kai! No wait... Kei! Let me go!" Tyson hollered as he struggled to break free of Kei's embrace. Kei hugged him closer to his body, ignoring Tyson's protests.
"Nuh uh cutie, you're mine." Kei's answer caused Tyson's eyes to bulge and his body to struggle even more.
"Let him go!" Max yelled, as he clenched his teeth.
"Jealous Maxie honey? Don't worry. I still think you've got one very hot behind. May even be the best." Kei answered suavely as Max blushed in embarrassment and hid behind Rei.
"What do you want?" Rei gritted his teeth.
"A bride." Kei stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"A bride?" Rei repeated.
"Yes. What part of that sexy little head of yours doesn't comprehend that?" Kei smiled, tightening his grip even more on Tyson's waist so that no space separated them. "But I haven't decided who I want yet. Rei, Max, Kenny, Kai or Tyson? It's so hard to choose, but getting me hard isn't something that Tyson fails to do." Tyson's eyes widened as Rei and Max glared in disgust at how Kei was treating their friend.
"Let me go now!" Tyson yelled as Kei laughed and released his grip. Tyson scurried back to his teammates.
"You guys are so much fun! I think I love you all!" Kei's smile broadened.
"Who the hell are you?" A cold voice broke the atmosphere and all of them turned to see a very pissed off Kai.
"Oh and if it isn't Mr. Dark and Handsome himself, I was wondering when I'd get to see your pretty boy face." Kei smirked in Kai's direction as Kai clenched his fists.
Kai didn't comment but continued his questioning. "Why do you look like me?"
"Ain't I handsome? Voltaire did an excellent job creating me, don't you think?" Kei said, rubbing a hand underneath his chin.
"Voltaire?" Kai spat.
"Created you!" Max, Rei and Tyson asked, stunned.
Kei chuckled. "Didn't you all realize that I'm not human?" They all looked over at each other as Kei finished, "I'm a vampire."
Rei, Max and Tyson burst out laughing at such a ridiculous idea while Kai couldn't help but snicker.
"Don't mock me," Kei threatened.
Max laughed even harder, trying to breath out what he was saying. "A vampire… so… ridiculous!"
Rei and Tyson held their stomachs from laughing too much and tears began to well up in Tyson's eyes. Kei glared hard at them, his eyes glowing with anger.
"What are you going to do if we don't stop laughing? Bite us?" Kai smirked as his teammates laughed louder.
"Stop! Stop! You're killing me!" Tyson howled through uncontrollable laughter as he fell to his knees.
But just then instead of growing angrier, Kei's eyes returned to their usual golden color and he smiled. "You," Kei grinned evilly as he pointed at Kai.
Kai's right brow raised as the laughter died down and Tyson stood up. "Me what?"
"I want you as my bride," Kei stated.
"As you're…" Kai's mouth dropped slightly before he pursed his lips and glared.
"You're going to regret saying that." Kai walked closer to Kei, clenching his fists. Kei only smiled back, an evil glint in his eyes. When Kai was only a few steps away, Kei walked closer to him, closing the distance.
"You're like me Kai, good looking and everything. You're my other half. I want you and I will have you."
"I'm no one's possession. Not now, not ever." Kai spat as Kei waved off his answer.
"You're mine." Kei cupped Kai's face, surprising the two-toned blader and pressed his lips hard against him. Kai's eyes widened in shock before he fell limply into Kei's arms.
"Kai!" Tyson yelled as Max and Rei stared completely stunned. "Kai? What did you do to him?" Tyson glared.
"Nothing much. Just gave my love here something that'll help him sleep." Kei smirked as he lifted Kai's body and placed him over his right shoulder, holding him in place with one hand.
"Give back Kai now!" Rei yelled.
"Release Kai or so help me, I'll-" Tyson yelled.
"You'll what? Stake me? Whip me to a bloody pulp with a string of garlic? There's just one thing you're forgetting. I'm a vampire, practically indestructible. So go ahead. Lay one hand on me and you'll see how futile your efforts will be." Kei glared before returning to his sickeningly cheerful smile again.
"Well I hate to say sayonara but in about an hour or so, Kai and I will be wed and he needs to prepare himself." Kei turned away from the group and ran. Tyson reacted first without hesitation and ran after him, followed closely behind by Max and Rei. Tyson was only an arm's length away from Kei but all three of their energy and stamina gave out on them as Kei ran on, keeping the same pace. Max and Rei caught up to Tyson, both clearly out of breath.
"That guy…must be a… vampire! Look at him run! And he's not even tired!" Max said, dropping to the ground trying to catch his breath.
"Don't be ridiculous Max." Rei said, as he joined Max on the floor. Tyson was still standing, only bending over and clutching his knees for support.
"Rei, I don't know. I mean, seriously how many humans do you know that can do that?" Max asked, skeptically.
"Not many that's for sure." Rei answered. Suddenly Tyson mumbled something ending Rei and Max's disagreement.
"What'd you say Tyson?" Rei asked.
"I have to save him…I just have to." Tyson said out loud to himself more than answering Rei's question.
"Tyson, it's not your fault." Max answered, worried about Tyson's behavior.
"It is my fault! Kei took Kai and I wasn't fast enough to stop him!" Tyson yelled and Max froze.
"Tyson, Max is only stating the truth. Even if we all weren't laughing and on guard, there's still no guarantee that we could've stopped Kei." Rei stated as he stood up and faced Tyson. Tyson's face softened and he looked apologetic as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry guys. It's just…just…Kai you know. M- Our sourpuss captain and I just felt so useless when Kei got away." Tyson said as he sat down on the ground besides Max and Rei joined them both.
Max patted Tyson's back lightly before speaking. "We will save Kai, Ty don't worry. And knowing Kai, it's not like him to be a cooperative captive."
Tyson gave Max a small smile. "You're right Max but how are we going to find Kai and save him?"
"Easy," Rei cut in. "Kenny. He's an electronic wiz so there's got to be something he has that can help us."
"That's great Rei!" Tyson beamed. "Now we just grab Kenny and- wait. Does either of you even know where Kenny is?" Tyson frowned.
Max shrugged while Rei nodded his head. "Kenny's in the training room, gathering data on Mariah and Kevin. He told me earlier where he'd be."
"Well then why are we still here! Kei plans on marrying Kai any minute now!" Tyson yelled, becoming frantic again as he jumped up and ran towards the training room. Max and Rei got up quickly and followed him not far behind.
Meanwhile, Kei slowed down from his run away from the three members of the BladeBreakers, Kai still on his shoulders. "Now to find a dress…where would be the best place to look for stunning gown for my future wife."
Kei looked around, scanning the area with his x-ray vision and began peering into rooms that held any sign of clothes. One door and room caught his eye and it was labeled in large silver lettering, Clothing Storage. Grabbing the handle, Kei turned it and found it locked. Turning a little harder, the doorknob broke off and Kei dropped it to the floor. Pushing the door open and entering the room, Kei was confronted with a room filled with clothes of all types from shorts to dresses of all sizes. But it took only 4.6 seconds before one dress caught his eye. Protected by a plastic wrapping, Kei lifting the hanger off its shelf and studied the dress. A small paper labeled the gown and only one word caught his eye, 'Queen'. A large grin formed on his face as he unzipped the plastic wrapping and pulled the dress out. "Perfect…"
