Chapter Three

Max walked into a hotel and paid for a room. It wasn't fancy or anything just something normal. He had feeling he was being watched so he really didn't pay attention to what it looked like, as long as he got into his room. His room had a bed, a fold out couch, a small counter with a little stove like top and a small sink for dishes. The bathroom was just like any other bathroom.

Max sighed and fell onto the bed. He was in Russia and had been walking around for hours in the freezing cold trying to lose whoever it was watching him. 'Maybe it's one of the Demolition Boys. Nah can't be. They wouldn't care much for me. They only care for Kai and that's it. Speaking of Kai wondering what he's up to?'

Max closed his eyes and gave into the darkness that had been nagging at him for some time.

Ian watched as Max closed the to room 208. He smirked and brought out Bryan's cellphone and called their house. "Hey, found him."

""Good. Kai is on his way. Where are you?"" Tala voice fluttered from the other end.

"Victoria's Hotel. Room 208." Ian replied smugly.

""Alright make sure he doesn't leave before we get there."" Ian hung up and watched the door like he was supposed to do. 'I should become a private detective.'

Max came out of his slumber when somebody knocked on the door. Glancing at his watch, he realized he had been asleep for only two hours. He sighed and rubbed the rest of the sleep away. 'Who would be knocking on my door. Maybe somebody got the wrong room number or something.'

There was another knock and he walked over to the door. Opening it a few good inches peered out. "Yes? Can I… Uh oh." Max muttered when he saw the Demolition Boys standing there. He tried to slam the door, but foot stopped it.

"Max, let us in." Tala demanded. Max stayed there thinking about his choice. Either way the Demo Boy's were going to find a way in, so he opened door allowing them in. "Never thought you as the type to run away."

"I'm not running away, Tala, I just needed to get away for awhile. Anyway why are you here?"

"To take you home, what else?" Ian said sitting down. "You know, you caused an uproar when you just left."

Max just walked over the to the bed and fell down on it again. "Let me guess, it was Ian who was following me, right?"

"Yep." Max groaned and turned his head to face them. Bryan and Spencer stood up while Tala and Ian sat on the couch. They all were looking at him, watching his every move. Bryan sat on the bed next to Max and asked, "Why didn't you call like you said you would?"

Max turned away and shrugged. He was about to fall asleep again, but Spencer spoke. " Why did you leave?"

"Like I said I needed to get away."

"Or where you afraid of what people would think of you?" Bryan asked. Max didn't move or say anything. "Just to let you know, everyone wants to see you again."

"Alright I'll go home. Just go away so I can sleep." Max said irritably.

"Somebody coming to get you. Ian, grab his bag. Spencer can you pick up Max?" Tala asked looking at Max, who jumped up glaring at them.

"I don't need a babysitter, damn it. I'll go home when I feel like it." Max snapped. Tala just smirked.

"I don't think so. You caused enough trouble for everyone and worried my little brother to death. I promised him I find you and bring you home and that's exactly what I'm going to do."

Spencer tried to grab Max, but Max pulled away. He glared at them before heading to the bathroom. Max slammed the door and locked it. He sat down against the door, still glaring at nothing.

"Max open the door, now." Tala yelled through the door. Max ignored him but instead got up and walked over to the sink. "Max, I promised Kai that I come and get you. You know, Tyson told me he didn't look well lately and that he's been real upset since you left. You should have heard how happy he sounded when we told him we found you."

"Max open the damn door right now." Bryan demanded. When he received no reply, he kicked the door. "You won't then I will."

The boy in the bathroom jumped when he heard something hit the door. He looked at it in shock. He heard another thud against the poor door and decided to just open it. He glared at the two in front of him while they grabbed each of his arms.

"Let go of me!" Max said. Spencer walked up and threw Max over his shoulder and left the room. "Put me down, Spencer. Damn it, put me down."

"Scream all you want, but you're coming with us." Tala snapped. Both, Tala and Bryan glared at the blond when he opened his mouth again. Max shut his mouth and didn't say another thing. Bryan opened up a cab door and let Spencer get in first.

Spencer sat Max next to him and Bryan got on Max's other side. Tala got in followed by Ian. "Are you happy now?"

On the way to their house Max fell asleep, leaning his head on Spencer shoulder. Spencer didn't mind and let the boy sleep in peace. When they arrived, Spencer picked up the boy and laid him in Tala's room. Now all they had to do was make sure Max didn't get up and run again till Kai got there.

Max woke a few hours later at the sound of glass breaking and somebody yelling. "Ian come back here!" Something else broke and Max jumped when something or somebody was thrown against the door, breaking it down. Ian flew in and landed on his back.

"Bryan that was my DAMN DOOR." Max heard Tala scream. Bryan stomped into the room, over to Ian and picked him up by the front of his shirt. "Spencer, grab Bryan, right now."

Bryan brought up his fist and was about to bring it down when they heard somebody whimper in a corner. They turned their heads to find Max wide eyes and frighten. Tala and Spencer ran into the room and looked at Max too.

"Great! Not only did you break my door now you woken up Max and scared him. Nice going you two!" Tala snapped. Tala went over to small blond and sat beside him. "Max, it's okay, this is normal."

"Normal? Trying to kill each other is normal?" Max asked backing away from the tall red head as if he was murder. Tala sighed.

"No what he meant was that Ian and Bryan fighting like this is normal. Max we are not going to hurt you, I promise." Spencer said, also sitting on Tala's bed. Max still backed up till he fell off the end of the bed. "Ian, Bryan I think it'll be best if y'all went to your rooms for right now."

Bryan glared at Ian and left without a word. Ian sat up groaning and cursed. "Max, sorry about that. You weren't meant to see all this. Really we wouldn't hurt you, not even Bryan, though he does have a bad temper. If he takes his anger out on anything or anybody it's usually me."

Ian left, limping slightly and rubbing his back. Tala pinched the bridge of his nose while Spencer looked over at Max who was still on the floor. Spencer held out his hand to Max. Max hesitated for a moment before taking it. Spencer pulled him back on the bed and watched the younger blonde.

"You ok?" Tala asked.

"Yea. I'm just…" Max's stomach cut him off by giving a loud rumble, "hungry."

Spencer and Tala laughed and told him to follow. On the way down the hall, Tala stopped at a door with a 'stay out' sign on it. " Hey Bryan, can you go ahead and fix dinner? Max is hungry."

Max heard a muffle 'sure' and Bryan came out, still a little mad, but seemed calm enough to for Max to be okay with. Bryan rose an eyebrow when Max moved closer to Spencer and Tala. He could tell Max was nervous about being around him and couldn't blame him. First, he tried to kill the blond's friend, Rei, and then nearly beat the crap out of Ian in front of him.

"Max I'm not going to hurt you. If I even thought about it, Kai would kill me. Would you like anything special for dinner?" Bryan asked when they reached the kitchen. Before Max could say anything, the door bell rung. Tala went and answered it.

Max froze when he heard Kai's voice flooding from around the corner. Max looked around to see if there was escape route and only found one. Problem was Bryan and Spencer was blocking the back door so he couldn't escape. He gulped nervously when footsteps could be heard, coming closer and closer.

Max felt like a trapped animal. He could feel his blood go cold and he began to sweat. Bryan and Spencer saw that Max was scared, nervous, and trying to find a way out of this mess. Kai and Tala appeared in the doorway. When Kai saw Max he felt a weight left from his shoulders.

"Heh, hey Kai." Max said laughing nervously. Kai kept his face emotionless as he went and stood in front of Max. Max swallowed nervously, looking up into crimson eyes. Kai grabbed Max and pulled him into a hug.

"If you ever run away again, I'm going to lock you up inside a room." Kai muttered. He smiled when he felt Max relax a little and wrap his own arms around the older boy.

"Touching as this may be, I would like to start supper." Bryan said, breaking up Kai and Max's little moment. Max stomach took that precise second to rumble. "See even his stomach agrees with me."

Max blushed slightly and buried his face into Kai's neck. "Your not turning into another Tyson are you?" Kai asked.

"No, it just I haven't ate since last night."

"Oh lord." Bryan and Spencer moaned at the same time.

"What, why? You know that's not good. Bryan fixed something to eat. Are you ok? Not feeling sick or faint or…"

"Tala, I'm fine." Max shrieked when Tala pulled him away from Kai and felt his forehead. The other three in the room chuckled. "Really Tala, I'm fine. I know how to take care of myself."

"And that's why you haven't ate since last night, right?" Tala asked glaring at the small American in front of him.

"No. I was to busy trying to get the person following me off my trail, thank you very much." Max retorted. "By the way when did you become the mother hen?"

"He was always like that, but only if there is no one else around. Your lucky to get to see this side of him." Ian said walking into the room. " Tala is the mother hen, Spencer is like the father and Kai, Bryan and I are like their children or something. Big family and apparently you're one of us now."

Bryan and Kai growled at being called children, Tala blushed and Spencer smirked. Max watched all this in amusement, before his stomach gave another loud rumble. All eyes fell on the youngest in the room. Max blushed and smiled sheepishly.

"Bryan get cooking." Tala ordered.

"Yes, mother." Bryan replied. Tala took off his shoe and threw it at Bryan and hit him in back of the head. Ian laughed and dodged a knife that was thrown at him, courteous of Bryan. Max gripped Kai tightly when the knife flew by him.

"Bryan, damn it. Max is in here." Tala snapped. "Stop scaring the poor boy."

"Sorry Max."

Dinner went rather well, if you consider insult flying back and forth between Ian and Bryan all right. Max sat between Kai and Spencer to make sure that if Bryan and Ian got into another fight, he wouldn't get hurt. Finally Tala had had enough of it and hit them over the head with a saucepan.

"Another insult that come out of anyone's mouth is going to be training outside in the cold for 48 hours straight." Tala warned. Ian and Bryan didn't say another thing to each other but instead Ian, Spencer, Max, and Tala started a conversation while Bryan started daydreaming or so that what Max thought since Bryan seemed someplace else.

Kai just listened to them and watched Max out of the corner of his eye. Max ate happily, laughing and joking with Ian. Max threw a questioning look at Ian and nodded toward Bryan. Ian mouthed 'I'll explain later' and Max nodded.

"You know, y'all aren't all bad like I first thought." Max said. "I'm still can't believe Bryan can cook something this good. (1)"

"Yea but you, other then Kai, have seen this side of us." Tala replied picking up the dishes and laid them in the sink. "Ian it's your turn for the dishes."

Ian groaned and pouted. Tala glared at him, before taking Max up to his room with Kai behind them. When they got in, Tala locked the door and walked over to the bed. Max sat down wondering what these two were up to.

"Um… You two or going to half to share this room. Bryan won't let someone else stay in his, Ian's is a mess and Spencer like's for no one to mess with his stuff." Tala said sitting next to Kai. "Just don't do anything on my bed."

"Tala." Kai said through clenched teeth, pushing Tala onto the floor. Tala landed on his butt with a thud.

"Kai that hurt." Tala wined rubbing his sore bottom. Max tried not to laugh at Tala childness. Max thought that Tala looked better pouting then having a scowl on his face. It made him look more human, more alive, so much more like he was a normal boy. He got an idea.

"Kai you came to take me back right?"

"Right." Kai answered cautiously when Max got the, oh so innocent look that meant trouble on his face.

"Then what would you say if we took the Demolition Boys back with us. That way they can won't half to hide behind their mask anymore and let people see the real them." Max said excitedly.

"Your nuts, Max. Really crazy." Tala practically screamed. "There is no way that would happen. I mean, The White Tiger already hate else for what happen to Rei and the other teams hate us for taking their bit-beast. No I don't think that would work. "

"Oh come on Tala. I'm sure they forgive you, it's just that they need a reason to forgive you. Be nice to them, hang out with them, open up to them, and trust them. Tala, if I can talk them into giving you guy's another chance would you take it?"

"I'm not sure. I'll half to talk to the other's about this."

"Then go talk to them now. Go." Max said pushing Tala to the bedroom door and unlocked it. He pushed Tala into the hallway and shut the door before the red head could come back in.

"Max, I don't think it's going to work well." Kai said when Max turned back to him.

"It's might be rough at the beginning but it's worth a shot don't you agree?" Max asked, smiling. Kai sighed.

"Yea. It be worth a shot." The Russian blader muttered to himself. Max sat down next to Kai and looked at him.

"Why did you come after me?" Max asked seriously. Kai looked up at the frowning blond and blinked.

"Because we were worried to death about you. You said you would call every now and then, Max, and yet nobody's phone rung. We thought something bad had happen to you." Kai said. "We thought we'll never see you again."

"I figured out that much, but what I want to know is why YOU came after me. I mean, you above everyone else should be disgusted with me. You should hate me right now, not be here with me." Max exclaimed. Kai glared at the younger boy.

"Max why would I hate? Why would anyone hate you? Max, they care about you and want you to be happy, even if it includes being with another guy. I'm not disgusted with you and I could never hate you. Same with the others. Only difference is their love for you is only family kind, but mine is different. I love you because you helped me. You are the only person I ever felt this way for."

Max didn't know what to say. He looked away so Kai wouldn't see tears falling. Kai may not have seen it but he knew they were there. He pulled the blond in a hug and rubbed his back. Max sobbed into Kai chest, letting out all his sorrow. After some time Max cried himself to sleep and Kai laid him under the covers.

"Y'all go." Bryan said turning back to the TV. Tala sighed.

"Bryan, this could be your chance to apologized to Rei."

"Tala, no. Even if I did apologize it doesn't mean I'll get another chance. They think I'm murder, damn it." Bryan snapped. Tala cool, patience face turned into a scowl.

"Tell you what. We go and try to become friends with them. If things go wrong then we'll come back."

"No." Bryan got up and began to stomp out of the living room; in till Ian word hit his ears.

"Don't won't to see the kitty-cat? Afraid he might hate you? Since when did you turn in a wimp?" Bryan slammed Ian into the wall. "I see, you are afraid he won't return your feeling and will think of you as a monster. Can't blame him really."

Bryan brought his fist back and punched Ian in the face. Spencer and Tala ran over to them trying to pull Bryan away from Ian. It was harder then it looked. Bryan and Ian fists were flying everywhere. Kai walked in at that moment and sighed. He walked over and helped Spencer pull Bryan away while Tala grabbed Ian.

"What's going on?" Kai asked while pushing Bryan into an armchair across the room.

"Ian started teasing Bryan again." Spencer replied.

"About what?"

"He scared to go cause he doesn't want to see the truth. That Rei hates him and won't return his feeling back." Ian said mockingly and smirking at Bryan. The said boy tried to get up and go after Ian again but Kai and Spencer held him down. "Poor baby."

"You are so dead when I get my hands on you." Bryan shouted. Ian rolled his eyes and walked out of the room laughing. "Ian come back here so I kill you."

"Bryan, please stop yelling. Max is asleep right now." Kai said. "But what's this about Rei not returning your feeling?"

"Noth…" Bryan started then stopped, " I like him. Can I go to bed now?"

"Sure. Just stay away from Ian." Tala ordered. Bryan just walked out of the room, ignoring Tala.

"So that's why he didn't kill Rei when he had a chance." Kai muttered. "Anyway are you going back with us or are you staying?"

"You should just see if it's alright with the others in Japan first, though." Spencer answered. Kai nodded and walk to the phone in the kitchen.

""Hello. Kai? Max? Is that you?""

"Tyson calm down."

""Kai, did you find Max?"" Tyson asked. Kai heard voice in the back speaking all at once."" Is he okay? Where is he? Can we speak to him?""

"Put me on the speaker phone now."

""Kai where is my baby?""

""Yea where's Max?""

"If you all could be quiet for a moment I could tell you." Everyone on the other end quickly became quiet. Kai sighed, "Yes he is fine. We are at the Demolition Boys house and no you can't speak to him cause he is sleeping."

He could hear people cheering in. "But there is something else. Is all the teams and grown-ups there?"

""All except Mr. Dickinson. He was called in for a meeting. Why?"" Rei said.

"Max want to bring the Demolition Boys back with us. He want's to give him another chance at being a regular teenager."

""Why should we? They are evil and they tried to kill my Rei."" Mariah screeched.

"Rei would've been dead then, you stupid pink fur ball." Kai snapped. "If Bryan really tried to kill Rei then he would be six feet under the ground but he's not. Look, they need another chance. They might need time but just give them another shot."

""Kai, can we really trust them?"" Robert asked.

"If we couldn't then they wouldn't have called us and told us they found M…"

"Please give them another chance, guy's." Max pleaded over the phone.

"Max I thought your were sleeping and how did you get on another phone?"

""MAX!""

"Heh hey guys, anyway Tala has a phone in his room."

"Really? I didn't see it before."

""Hello did you forget about us?"" Tyson yelled into the phone. Max and Kai had to hold the phone arms length cause of how loud the boy was.

"Sorry guy's. So can you give them another chance, please?" Max pleaded again.

""Max, we don't know."" Lee replied.

""I say that we give them another chance. Don't look at me like that, Mariah, Kai is right. I'm sure that if Bryan really wanted me dead, then I wouldn't be here right now and you all know that I should be the main one voting for them to not cover. After all I have more reasons then one.""

""I agree with Rei, guys. I mean, why not? It's not like they are working for Biovolt anymore.""

""But… but why?"" Mariah stammered.

""Mariah, I don't forgive them fully but maybe I could if we got to know them some more.""

"So?" Max asked.

""Tell you what, call us back in the morning, and well have an answer, okay?"" Judy said.

"Alright, we better go to bed. It's late here."

"Night everyone. Can't wait to see y'all again."

""Night!"" They all said and hung up.

Kai sat the phone down on the receiver and walked back up to Tala's room. In another room somebody hung up, smiling sadly. Rei actually thought they deserve another chance. 'My teammates do but I don't.'

(1) You just have to use your imagination since I not sure about any Russian foods. Or anyfood for that matter. I'm a bad chief, so yea.
