Walking through the dojo sock-clad the moody phoenix could be heard swearing in Russian about a visit that was coming up. He had just got off the phone after trying to get rid of Tala for the past 5 hours ending the conversation with "See you tomorrow."

"Kai?" was the inquisitive voice of the young bouncy Max.

"What?" it was moody, it was dark; it was Kai.

"Ah don't be so grumpy, anyway who were you talking to?" This was the 'happy-go-lucky, jackass' Tyson, 3 guesses who calls him those names (coughKaicough).

"Just for that Tyson you've gained the others an extra twenty laps around the dojo."

"Ah Kai don't be such a slave driver, besides, what's wrong?" was the wonderful bright blonde more commonly known as Max Tate.

"Don't push your luck Max, those eyes may work on Kon but they don't on me." Well let's just say Max went from puppy-dog eyes to pouting in 0.01 seconds.

"Where you going Kai?"

"To try and get a last minute ticket to France to avoid Tala." Kai said as though it was obvious.

"Will Bryan be here too?" Now Ray joined the conversation looking almost scared, just almost.

"Yes."

"I'm coming with you, I haven't seen Oliver in a while." Ray said trying to cover up that he was terrified of being in the same room as Bryan, as a single bead of sweat ran down his forehead.

"I have a very good reason behind avoiding Tala, what is your reason for avoiding Bryan?" was the generally curious question from Kai.

"He's a total fucking bastard!"

"You are aware he is one of my best friends." Kai said with a twinkle of laughter in his eyes, which was just as quickly as it came, hidden behind his emotionless mask. The other boys waited until Kai was out of the room before Max and Tyson burst out laughing saying… "You've really done it now Ray, I wouldn't be surprised if Kai left you here for that."

Then they heard a strange sound, it sounded like a mobile but they thought no one in the dojo had one. It sounded from the room they dubbed as Kai's room.

"I wonder… Ah ha, hey I wonder who the 'Russian nutcase' is," was Tyson's excited cry.

"Guess there is only one way to find out."

"I'm not letting you take that call, it's an invasion of privacy," was Ray acting like the voice of reason once again.

"What are you doing with my phone? Why did you go into my room Tyson?"

"Who said that it was me?" said the indignant Tyson. Kai then practically tears his mobile out of Tyson's hand before saying "Hey dumbass."

An almost inaudible "God I love you too," was heard quite huffily and laughter was heard in the background.

"Look Tala I don't have the time, I'm… busy setting up for your arrival here……No I am not packing to go to Russia…"

"Well now we know who the 'Russian nutcase' is… I'm hungry." I believe we all know who that is.

"Tala bugger off…I swear you're a total nut job…no Bryan isn't the nut job, he's the Russian wanker." Kai decided to change back to his mother tongue before 'Grandpa' Granger got on his case.

"I heard that asshole!" was the response yelled over Tala's shoulder into the earpiece.

The others were giving Kai a funny look as he held his mobile at arms length. With one last sigh he decided to do the Russian way of things… "Fuck off."

(With Tala and Bryan)

"Kai? Kai? He's hung up!" The 'Russian nutcase' exclaimed to the rest of his team. They only rolled their eyes at him, which made him pout before plonking himself down on the floor arms crossed over his chest and legs crossed.

After about 5 seconds he stood again making Bryan, Ian and Spencer all stare at him. "I'm bored, I'm packed and ready to go but I can't tease Kai because he's in Japan while I'm sitting here freezing my ass off in Russia!" Tala exclaimed once again, his feelings once again making themselves known to the others in the room.

"Tala we're leaving in half an hour to catch our flight to Japan, why don't you just go and do something legitimate until then?" The lilac falcon asked his team leader while trying to read the paper over Spencer's shoulder.

"Bryan it's rude to read over ones shoulder." Spencer tried to turn the page but found he couldn't as Bryan had his finger on the corner.

"I'm hungry." Now they all turned once again towards their redheaded team captain.

"Then go eat something." Was what Bryan said in the same tone as his team captain making the short ass Ian laugh, it was times like these he loved the lilac Falcon.

"But I don't want to, my jumpsuit doesn't fit me as well as it used to." Tala complained to Bryan.

"You expect me to do something about it?" Was what Bryan replied to his 'Russian nutcase' team captain.

"Yeah, go and make me some toast!" They all stared at Tala then as if he was nuts.

(Somewhere else in Russia)

"Don't forget I get the window seat." The thunder wolf said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"I know but I get to work on the laptop in exchange, I have stuff to do." Was the somewhat muffled reply of the purple phoenix, who was in their walk in cupboard trying to find her winter coat and gloves. Before the thunder wolf could protest about not being able to use the net she was asked a question. "Nina have you seen my coat? I can't find it."

"It's on top of your bag waiting to be worn out of here." Nina replied trying not to laugh at her friend's expense.

After a couple of blinks the phoenix then started to blush, she had totally forgotten that was where she put it.

"Oh… yeah, silly me, I totally forgot." That was the last straw for Nina, she started to laugh, "Come on Nina let's go or we'll miss our flight."

"Ok!" She cried in a Momiji kind of way, generally happy to be going home.

(In the airport)

"Oh my God, it's Tala, hide me!" Jamie practically squealed to her best friend, hiding behind her as her secret crush walked past.

"Jamie, how are you meant to hide? Great, now people are staring." She replied to her best friend with an anime sweat drop. Tala stops walking and turns, his sensitive hearing just picking up his name in a conversation. He shrugged then continued on his way towards the gates, Bryan leading the way for once carrying both their bags.

"Tala, hurry up before I dump your stuff and leave you behind." It was no wonder he was so ticked off, having to put up with both Tala AND the other people around him.

(On the plane)

"Nina please let me have the window seat please, please Nina, please!" Jamie was begging Nina for the window seat; it was only 5 minutes ago that she discovered two scary things. 1. She was on the same flight as Tala. 2. She had to sit next to him.

"Jamie we've agreed about this, I get the window seat, look I'm sure he's not as scary as he looks." Nina replied exasperated at her friends want to sit away from the person she had a crush on.

"Ah, don't worry about sitting next to me, I don't bite… much anyway." Tala said both flirtatiously and mischievously while putting an arm around the purple phoenix.

"Sorry Jamie, I'm keeping the window seat." Nina said while looking out the window watching the snow falling. Bryan just rolled his eyes at his friend and put his earphones in his ears listening to some heavy metal.

"But Nina he's scary." Jamie said looking pleadingly at her friend, Tala's arm still draped about her shoulders. He was grinning like the wolf he was. Nina refused to look at the phoenix knowing that she was giving her the puppy dog pout. Jamie sighed giving up and doing something that actually scared Tala… she relaxed into his hold, resting her head on his shoulder.

He looked over at Bryan pleadingly as if he was actually going to do anything for the wolf. Bryan by this time had closed his eyes and was ignoring everything that was going on around him.

About an hour into the flight Jamie had fallen asleep resting her head on Tala's shoulder, while Tala was just starting to doze off his cheek resting against the top of her head. Bryan looks up to see why his captain was so quiet. Nina doing the same for her best friend, they shared a knowing look before Nina put a single finger to her mouth. Bryan was now curious, his curiosity was answered when Nina took out a digital camera and took a picture of them sleeping together like that.

After putting the camera down, she pulled the laptop onto her knee ready to upload the picture and send it to a 'few' friends of hers. Bryan looked up again at his friend before shaking his head smiling and looking away.

(In the Japanese airport)

"I wonder if their flight was delayed, they should have arrived by now." Ray was curious about why the Russians were missing.

"Bryan stop laughing!" he was now actually wishing they remained missing.

"What's up Tala?" Ray asked politely although the Russian redhead was now puffing out cheeks indignantly.

"Bryan won't tell me why he's laughing." Tala said pointing an accusing finger at the said falcon.

Kai was standing behind Bryan now, it seemed as though he was looking at something the lilac falcon was showing him discreetly.

"Nina I can't believe you let me sleep the entire way… eep it's him!" Jamie then hid behind Nina again.

"Not again." Was all that Nina said. Bryan then looked at her and actually smiled.

"Now that is a scary sight." Ray quipped up what everyone else was thinking.

"Bryan why are you smiling? Tell me!" Tala was really confused and wanted to know what was going on. Nina smiled back at Bryan, then turning her head to her friend and sighing at her. Bryan then dangled the picture in front of Tala's face, Tala blinked, once, then twice before practically leaping the falcon trying to get the picture off of him.

"Give me that, Bryan please, give me the picture, where did you get that, give it to me." Tala who was shorter than Bryan stopped and looked pleadingly at Kai.

"Like I'm going to help." Kai said folding his arms over his chest and turning towards the exit. Tala stopped the pleading eyes and ran to catch up with his friend momentarily forgetting about the picture.

"Kai wait up, I think you should let the girls stay too!" Tala said mischievously, Kai didn't like the sound of that but instead of saying that he said "It's up to 'Grandpa' Granger, not me." Although he was really thinking along the lines of 'this is not happening.' Nina was having a conversation with Bryan about the picture and about Tala and Kai and how on earth those two could be best friends. Jamie however was thinking about how she really wanted to get home and have a nice cup of hot chocolate. She didn't see Ray was walking next to her glancing between her and Tala and back again. He suspected something was up about those two when he noticed her reaction before hand.

So here is the first chapter and it already sucks.

Ray is kind of clued in already about one of the pairs.

Bryan: And here I thought the kitten was clueless

Ray: I'm not Tyson and don't call me kitten.
