I Don't Need Your Help
Chapter 2
"Can we take a break now? I'm hungry." wined an exhausted Tyson. "It's five o'clock! We've been training for six hours without any rest." He slumped down to the ground, a little winded after his statement. Max and Rei also looked somewhat fatigued, but Tala was fine. He had joined in on the training because he had gotten bored with just watching.
"Fine. I guess we can call it a day." Kai replied.
"Woohoo!" cheered Max and Tyson as they ran inside to the kitchen. Rei got up and started to follow then in, but stopped when he noticed that Kai and Tala were still standing in the same place.
"Hey, aren't you guys coming?"
"Why don't you just come and get us when whatever food that your going to make is done." stated Tala without even looking at Rei.
"Um...okay." There's something going on between those two. With that Ray went in to join Max and Tyson.
In the kitchen...
Ray walked in and found his two friends in a lip lock. He cleared his throat to get their attention. "I think it's great that you two are in love, but right now we're supposed to be making some food." The couple stepped away from each other blushing and muttered a sorry.
"Well, we did look through the cabinets." said the blonde, losing the hint of pink that had been on his cheeks. "It looks like we could make plenty of sandwiches for everyone."
"Then I guess we're having sandwiches." stated the raven-haired teen as he got out the bread. Tyson got out the peanut butter while Max got the jelly, and they all started making the sandwiches.
They already had five sandwiches made when Tyson asked, "How many do you think we should make?"
"Considering your stomach, I say we make as many as we can." Max couldn't help but laugh at Rei's comment, but Tyson didn't find it as funny. "But seriously, how about ten? That way we each get two, and if one of us doesn't eat their second one, we can give it to Tyson."
"Okay."
Outside...
Tala had his arms wrapped possessively around Kai's slender waist, hold the teen close to himself. He loved the way the slate haired teen felt in his arms, the warmth that seemed to radiated from his skin. He could just melt when he looked into those beautiful crimson eyes that burned with an inner fire, that only his phoenix could possess. He loved everything about Kai, and had missed having him nearby.
After the World Championship ended, Kai had returned to Japan with the rest of the Blade Breakers, and Tala had stayed in Russia. The abbey had been in a state of chaos, police were everywhere, search anything and everything they could find, which, surprisingly, wasn't much. Before going into hiding, Boris had order that anything that seemed out of the ordinary be temporarily removed and put in a secret place. The police stayed for a few days, during which no one had been able to come in or leave the abbey during that time, but now things have quieted down.
Tala began kissing along the side of Kai's neck. He had full access to the soft, pale skin untill Kai suddenly pulled back just slightly. He stopped, and lifted his icy blue eyes to stare in question of his lovers actions.
"Not now Tala." Kai whispered, "One of the others could easily walk out and see us."
Tala didn't release Kai from the embrace and just kept staring into the ruby eyes in front of him. "So."
"You know I don't want them to find out that we're a couple. Not just yet." They gazed at each other for a minute, neither wanting to give in to the other. But Tala admitted defeat in the end, and, sighing, he loosened his grip freeing Kai.
Kai started to walk away toward the house to go inside, when Tala grabbed his hand. He looked back at his friend, now it was his turn to give the questioning stare. "What is it?"
"You will make this up to me tonight, won't you?" asked the red head. Kai just smiled as his answer, letting Tala know that he would, before continuing his walk inside.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen...
"Alright, that's the last one." stated the nekojin as he put the last of the sandwiches in a pile with the others.
"Awesome. Lets eat." Tyson reached and grabbed a sandwich, but dropped it when Rei slapped his hand. "Hey! What was that for?"
"You can't have one yet. First you have to go tell Kai and Tala that it's time to eat."
"Why do I have to go?" complained the midnight blue haired teen. "Can you do it Rei?"
"No." was his simple reply.
"Why not?" asked Tyson.
"Because, if Max or myself went, then when Kai and Tala got here there wouldn't be anything left to eat." Rei couldn't help but smirk as he said that, and Max was trying his hardest not to laugh. Don't get him wrong, Max does love Tyson, but what Rei had said really might happen.
It took Tyson a minute for it to register in his brain what Rei had meant, and he glare at them when it did. "Hmph. Fine, I'll go get them." With that Tyson stormed out of the rooming, cursing Rei very colorfully as he went.
Tyson can to the door that led outside. He could here a muffled conversation going on between the two teens out there, and their words became more clear as he neared the door. With his hand on the door, ready to slide it open and tell his friends of the food that he was dying to eat, he stopped and instead decided to peek in on them first.
He cracked the door just enough to where he could barely see out. Kai was facing the other way and Tala had a hold of his hand. Tala asked something that Tyson couldn't quite hear, but it seemed like something important by how serious Tala looked when he said it. What did he ask? It sounded like he said, 'You will go out with me tonight, won't you?' Whoa! Tala must have a thing for Kai! I never would have guessed.
Tyson listened intently, wanting to know Kai's answer, but didn't hear any. He couldn't see the smile on Kai's face. Hey? Why hasn't Kai said anything? Is he turning Tala down? Why that bastard! He could at least say something to the poor guy. Tala just told him how he felt and he doesn't even have the courtesy to say anything back. What a jerk. He saw Kai turn around and slowly start walking toward the door he was currently spying from. Oh shit, he's coming right at me! He'll kill me if he thinks I was listening. What to do?
He slid the door shut, and took a few steps back. He planned to act like he just got there. After taking in a breath, he opened the door. "Hi guys. We're done making the food."
Both Kai and Tala looked a little surprised to see Tyson, but it only lasted for a moment. Kai went on walking and passed right by Tyson with a 'hn.' as he only reply. Tyson glared at the back of the two-tone for how rude he had been to Tala. Speaking of Tala, he was now stepping inside. Tyson grabbed his arm and whispered, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Tala was confused by Tyson's request, but none-the-less he said okay. Tyson yelled to Kai before going outside. "Uh...we'll be there in a minute."
"Whatever." Kai didn't even look back.
Tyson closed the door behind him, and stared at Tala. The red head had no idea what was going on. "Well? What is it?"
"You don't have to put up that strong, unaffected mask, Tala. I know you're hurting deep down. And who wouldn't be, after the way that jerk didn't even answer your question."
Tala stared at Tyson completely baffled. "Huh?"
"Honestly, I don't see why you like him in the first place. He's cold-hearted, mean, he's way to serious all the time, he's just an all around bastard." Tyson went on insulting Kai for a good five minutes.
"Um...What are you talking about?" At this time Tala was defiantly confused.
"Well," started Tyson. "I kinda overheard the end of your conversation with Kai."
Tala just stood there for a bit, not saying a word. Dammit! Kai was right. One of them did find out about us. He tried to think of what to do next. Kai wouldn't be happy if he knew that Tyson knew about their relationship. He almost had a solution when his thoughts were interrupted by the annoying teens voice.
"Don't be sad Tala. I have good news." Tala glanced at the teen, once again confused. "I'm going to help you win Kai's heart."
"What?" It was all he could say at the moment. Then, realization hit him. Tyson just thought that Tala liked Kai, and that when Kai didn't say anything back, it meant that Kai didn't feel the same way. Now he understood. "Tyson, you've got it all wro-" he was cut off.
"No need to thank me. It's good to help people fall in love."
"I wasn't thanking you. I was trying to say that-"
"Just let me handle everything. I'll have a plan ready by tomorrow that I guarantee will help make Kai fall for you." stated Tyson boldly, completely ignoring Tala.
By now, Tala was getting frustrated. "I don't need your help."
"Oh really?" Tala's statement had brought Tyson out of his thoughts. "Do you have Kai's love?"
There was a pause before Tala's answer. It's true that he did already have Kai's love, but he couldn't tell Tyson that. He had promised that he wouldn't tell anybody, so he had to lie. "Well...no, but-"
"No buts about it. I'm going to help you, and that's that." Tyson turned and went back inside to eat and to plot his plan to help Tala.
Tala sighed in frustration. Great, now Tyson's going to be trying to help me win Kai's love when I already have it. And that idiot wouldn't even listen when I tried to explain that he had it all wrong. How does Kai put up with some one that annoying? Oh well, I'll just have to deal with it later. With that, he joined the other inside.
Once again, I'm very sorry that I didn't update sooner. Please don't kill me! I was working on it earlier, but I decided it wouldn't hurt to go read some other TalaxKai fanfic to help me get in the mood to write. Well, It was great! So great in fact that it got me hooked on it. And that's ultimately why it took so long to update. So, I recommend reading 'When our eyes meet' by Boys On Boysenberry. Anyway before you do that, please R&R. And if you have an idea of a plan that Tyson could use, let me know please.
