"Who is he?"

"Who is he?"

Daichi and Ian simultaneousy asked Kai and Tala respectively as they jerked their thumbs in the direction of each other. It was a lucky thing that they were practically similar in stature, for they ended up glaring each other in the eye.

"What the hell are you doing here, and who invited you?" Daichi accusingly asked, planting his hands on his hips. It was apparent he did not like the competitive glare that Ian was shooting at him displeasingly.

"I could ask you the same thing, shrimp!"

"Shrimp?" Insulted, Daichi's eyes flared. "Who are you to call me shrimp when you're smaller in size than me, midget?" The flame-haired small boy pronounced the insult with distinct clarity laced with poisonous threat.

"Midget?" Ian's patience ran thin, as he pivoted on his heels to glare his team captain down disbelievingly. "Tala! Who the hell is he, and why did you bring him along when it was agreed that only you and Kai would go shopping with me?"

"Shopping with you? Hn, very funny." To which, Kai responded instead of Tala, arching a skeptical eyebrow. Then, the blunette directed a cold, but not harsh glare in his friend's direction, "And why is he tagging along?"

Tala accusingly retaliated, "I can ask the same of Daichi."

Kai frowned, crossing his arms. "He insisted."

Tala looked down at Ian, who was still staring Daichi down, who was returning the glare with exact intensity. "Guess I could say the same in my case."

"Hey, KAI! Who is this idiot?"

"I am not an idiot, you dimwit!"

"Dimwit? Very funny, shrimp!"

"Who are you calling a shrimp, midget?"

"Say that again and I'll--"

Tala gave a frustrated growl under his breath, before he used his shin to elbow Ian, who was, unfortunately standing at a height that allowed himself to submit to Tala's death rib-jab. "What, Tala?" He took to staring at his team captain. "You and your idea of going shopping."

"Remind me who insisted on tagging along." Tala said.

Above, higher in the air where only the two older Russian boys could converse, Kai momentarily closed his eyes as he gave a typical 'hmph'. He did not wonder why the addition of two short things into their...quadruple would prove to be a hell of nuisance this afternoon.

"I have a feeling those two would get along perfectly well." Tala muttered as he and Kai turned their backs towards the nearly-about-to-erupt-into-a-military-action-scene between Daichi and Ian.

Kai did not wonder why. "You're right."

"Of course, I always am."

Kai glared.

Tala gave a smirk, crossing his arms, looking smug. "As usual."

The blunette chose to ignore that sentence. The afternoon to come was proving quite a difficult, rough task to accomplish, piled up with the mission of finding a perfect gift for Tyson and Hilary's first year anniversary since they started dating.

A/N:

erm yeah, that's about it. i don't know if i should continue because it's pretty hard to write FOUR characters in a fic and keeping their characters in check all the time! this fic must be the shortest entry i've uploaded in my online career, but what the heck, review all the same!

cheers
