The next morning Max woke up to find himself in Kai's arms…again. He loved it! He looked up at his lover, the yellow sunlight making him look cute and sweet, the perfect lover, it was like a movie scene. He smiled at his phoenix and leant over him. He gently placed kisses on his mouth and then on his tattooed cheeks and jaw. Kai hummed and opened his eyes to see Max's sweet face. He locked his arms around the smaller boy. Max ran his fingers through the blue hair, his other hand resting on Kai's bare chest. He never wore a shirt to bed anymore, there wasn't much point. Max on the other hand did. He didn't feel comfortable being half naked in bed; he was either naked or clothed, nothing in between. To him, if he wasn't going to wear a shirt to bed, he might as well not wear pants. But saying that, he never complained to see Kai's muscular torso…hell, who would! "Hmmm…you look so cute in the morning…"
"Cute?"
"'fraid so Kai! Aarrg, I need to get up. I promised Tyson I'd help with the computer."
"What's wrong with the computer?"
"Oh he broke it or something. He needs to e-mail Chief." Max kissed Kai once more and disappeared into their bathroom.
About 20 mins later, Kai came out of the room to find Ray in the kitchen and Tyson and his lover on the computer.
"Nice to see you've finally joined us!" 'Why the hell does he always have a go at me!' Kai thought.
"Shut up Tyson" he shot back. He looked at the blonde next to the dragon. He had a beautiful smile on his face. He walked over to Max and kissed him on the lips. Tyson stared in astonishment. When they parted they looked at Tyson.
"What the…"
"Tyson we're a couple, we told you yesterday!
"Yeah, but…"
"So get used to it!" Kai said firmly walking into the kitchen. "Hi Ray, need some help?" Tyson stared at the older teen in disbelief and then at Max. It was a shock to see to guys kissing although…it was slightly arousing…'WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!' Tyson thought to himself. There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Max shouted and ran to the door. "Oh? Hello!" Max opened to see Mr. Dickenson.
"Hello there Max! Can I come in?"
"Sure!" he walked in with the older man following.
"HEY THERE MR. D!" Tyson shouted. Ray and Kai emerged from the kitchen.
"Hello boys! I was jut paying and thought I might pop in to see how you're all doing."
"Well, we're fine!" Ray answered.
"DID YOU KNOW MAX AND KAI ARE GOING OUT!" Tyson shouted at the old man. Max blushed and Kai sweat-dropped.
"Oh…well…no. I wasn't aware that either of you were…umm…gay?" they both nodded and smiled awkwardly. Max walked back to the computer hitting Tyson on the head.
"Ow…"
"Actually, I was kind of lying before…"
"Oh…"
"Yeah. I need to speak to you Kai."
"What about?"
"Many thing but mostly about Rika."
"Why? Is she alright?" Max and Ray sensed a bit of panic in Kai's voice while Tyson was trying to remember who Rika was.
"Who the hell is Rika?"
"Kai's friend…" Ray answered.
"Oh yeah!" Kai was on the verge of hitting the idiot.
"OH! You told them about Rika!" Mr. Dickenson exclaimed, he sounded happy.
"Actually…no…she called and Ray answered."
"So they don't know?" he asked a bit disappointed.
"no." everyone looked at their captain.
"Umm…what haven't you told us?" Tyson asked. Kai could see how upset Max was looking in the corner of his eye. His heart sank, 'I can't tell him…I can't.'
"Nothing, it's not important."
"Well I disagree with that Kai!" Kai gave the old man a terribly evil glare.
"It doesn't concern them! Now, either tell me what you need to or go away." Everyone glared at Kai, how could he be so rude!
"I'm sorry if I offended you Kai…Rika is coming back to Japan. I thought it would be appropriate if you collect her from the airport…"
"She can take care of herself…"
"I know she can but I think she needs to talk to someone…and since you both are too full of yourselves to talk to me, you're the only option." Kai stood in silence for a while, staring at the ground. He looked up.
"What makes you think she needs to talk?"
"Well…she didn't sound herself on the phone…"
"She could just have been feeling a bit ill?"
"Kai…you and I know very well what Rika's like…I know talking isn't your strong point but…please, just see if she's alright?" Kai turned back to the ground.
"When is she coming?"
"Tomorrow, 11am."
"I'll collect her but she can't stay here."
"I'll arrange a room for her in a hotel. Thank you Kai." With that he turned and opened the door. Before he could leave, Kai shouted after him.
"I'll talk to her Mr. Dickenson….but you know…I won't tell you anything if she doesn't want me too!" Mr. Dickenson smiled and nodded.
"I know…" he whispered and left. Kai kept staring at the ground, his mind else where. Max went up to him and hugged him.
"Kai…you don't have to explain if you don't want to. I understand."
"WHAT? Of course he has to explain!"
"Thanks Max" Kai said ignoring Tyson. Max kissed his cheek and went back to the computer.
"C'mon Ty, we've nearly finished." Tyson sat down and Ray just stared at Kai. He didn't trust Kai on this one, he wanted answers. Kai walked into the kitchen to carry on what he was doing before. Ray followed.
"Who is she Kai?" Kai never looked at Ray, he didn't want to.
"It's not important…"
"Yes it is! Kai if she's like the Blitzkrieg Boys then we can't have her here!"
"She's not coming here!"
"Well why don't you want her to, she's your friend right?" Kai didn't answer. "Right Kai!" still no answer. "Well that tells me she's no good. Is she part of Biovolt?"
"Sort of…" Kai mumbled. Ray sighed.
"Keep her away from us Kai and if I was you, I'd disassociate myself." He went into the living room. Max and Tyson watched as he sat down on the couch and turned the TV on. They had heard most of the conversation. Max went to get up and see if Kai was alright when Ray started to talk. "Be careful Max…" He gave the blonde a worried look. Max stared at the form in the kitchen. Max remembered what Kai had said that night after his nightmare:
/"If it's that bad, you should tell someone."
"I have. Mr. Dickenson knows, and Rika…"/
'If Rika was that bad, then why would Kai trust her with his secrets…but then again…she may have been the one who caused them…but why would Mr. Dickenson care about what she does…unless she would do something awful if someone didn't keep an eye on her…Aaarrrgggg!'. In the end, Max decided to leave it and go sit next to Ray. Meanwhile, Kai was away in his own thoughts. His eyes were covered in shadow caused by his bangs. A tear rolled down his tattooed cheek and fell onto the counter. His hands clenched as he tried to push the thoughts out of his head, he needed air, he needed to get away from the questions.
"Yo Kai, where you going?" Tyson asked as the older teen walked through the sitting room.
"Out…"
"Kai?" Max's soft voice stopped Kai in his tracks. "Are you alright?" kai turned to the blonde catching Ray's warning eyes.
"I'm fine Max. I'll see you later…" he opened the door and walked out into the cold. He headed towards the park.
---
It was evening and Kai still wasn't back. Max and Tyson started to worry but Ray was still angry at him. Ring ring! Ring ring! "I'll get it." Tyson said. He got up and picked the phone up. "Hello?...oh hey Mr. Dickenson…" there was a pause. Tyson glanced at Ray. "actually Kai isn't here, he'll be back later…no, I don't know when…can I pass something on?...ok, I'll tell him…yeah I've got a pen and paper…079…382…774…5632 …ok…bye." he hung and brought the paper to his seat.
"What did he want?" Ray asked.
"Kai."
"Why?"
"He wanted to make sure again he could pick Rika up…" Max saddened and Ray turned back to the TV, his anger growing.
"What's that?" Max asked, Ray faced Tyson again.
"Rika's number…he needs to ring her…"
"I think we should ring it!" Max and Tyson looked at Ray.
"WHAT!"
"Guy's come on! She's bound to cause trouble…we should tell her not to come!"
"I don't know Ray?"
"Come on Max! You really trust this girl?" there was a pause.
"No, I trust Kai and I say we confront him before ringing her."
Meanwhile, Kai was sitting on the park bench watching his breath form smoke patterns in front of him. 'I can't block her out like that! They have no idea how important she is…they preach to me about friendship and love and that's exactly what Rika means to me. She's my friend and I do love her. They can't ask me to choose between them and Rika…because, I will choose her…'
"Kai?" he looked up to see Max walking towards him. "What are you doing out so late, you'll catch a cold." Kai kept his eyes down when the blonde sat down next to him "Kai?" there wasn't a reply. Max sighed. "Mr. Dickenson rang. He wanted to know if you could still pick Rika up. And he left a number for you to call her on."
"Thanks" Kai mumbled. Max put his arms around the bluenette and rested his head against him.
"I don't know what's going on with this Rika girl but I trust you Kai and I don't mind if you don't want to tell me." 'Why are you so sweet Max? I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you heard what I was thinking a few minutes ago.' "Shall we go home?"
"yeah." Kai answered. He got up and put his arm around Max as they walked home together. When they got in, Kai was greeted by an angry Ray.
"Here you go Kai," he threw Kai the piece of paper with the number on. "Now call her and tell her she can't come!"
"What?"
"There's no way she's coming here. You're more then welcome to be her friend just keep her away from us." Kai's hands were clenched so tightly that his fingernails dug into his hands causing them to bleed.
"She isn't coming to Japan to see you! She isn't even staying here!" he shouted with rage
"I don't care, call her!"
"NO!"
"Kai, you either call her or move out"
"What?" Max and Tyson whispered.
"I mean it Kai; I won't have her hurting the others."
"She won't hurt the others!"
"What like the blitzkrieg boys wouldn't? Choose Kai!"
"You really want me to choose?"
"YES!" Kai stormed off to his room. "Where the hell are you going?"
"To pack!"
"What?"
"You told me to choose and I have."
"You're really giving up your friends and Max for this girl."
"Actually I'm giving up living with you three to help a friend. I don't want to give up Max, I'm just moving out."
"There is no way you can stay with Max after choosing that bitch over us." That pushed Kai over the edge. He grabbed Ray's collar and threw him against the wall.
"IT'S NOT YOUR DECISION! And if you dare talk about her that way you'll be permanently stuck to this wall!" there was a dangerous glint in Kai's crimson eyes. After a minute of glaring at Ray, he let the Chinese boy go and stomped back to his room.
"Kai! Wait!" Max shouted and went to run after him but Ray grabbed his arm.
"Don't Max, just let him go…"
"No! He's staying here, at least just for one night, then, if you really want him to, he can leave tomorrow." Max ran into the room after Kai.
