Chapter 7

"Hiya Hitoshi!"

"Go away Rei."

"No, wait! Coach, we really…need…help…"

Hitoshi blinked and set the now-empty punch bowl down a counter, turning around the face the three teens looking up at him. Hilary and Kai looked very annoyed and unhappy, Rei had a huge, goofy grin on his face.

"…who let him near the punch?"

"You know what it's like…" grumbled Kai, shaking his head and whacking Rei on the head. "You turn your back on him for a second and then…"

"YOUR HAIR IS BLUE!"

Hilary, Kai and Hitoshi all sweat dropped as Rei began ranting about the color of the Coach's hair, and how it resembled Tyson's.

It reminded both Kai and Hilary that Hitoshi was, unfortunately, Tyson's older brother…probably the reason why the younger was so good at their sport.

Once again, a jealous feeling found its way into Kai's stomach, but this time he couldn't quite figure out who it was directed towards. He pushed this out of his mind, returning to the issue at hand.

"Have you tried tying him up, and gagging him?" asked Hitoshi, shaking his head at the laughing neko-jin.

"I suggested that!" replied Kai, glaring at Hilary. "But she wouldn't let me do that to her precious boyfriend."

"You shut up!"

Hitoshi sighed, and then shook his head again. Tala and Bryan were going to be in a lot of trouble for this…especially if Rei's parents found out… A shiver ran through the Coach as Kai and Hilary made Rei sit down at a table.

He would be in big trouble.

The four were in a small, kitchen-like area, where Hitoshi had been getting rid of the spiked punch. There was a stove, a and plenty of cupboards. Most of them were full of juice crystals and things like that.

"…did he know that the juice was spiked?" Ask Hitoshi, sitting down next to Hilary and frowning at Rei. Kai was standing behind Rei's chair, resisting the urge the whack the younger repeatedly.

"Yes…I think he was jealou-!"

"We already heard your theory, Hilary…" grumbled Kai, whacking Rei.

"Stop it, you big meanie!"

"Your fault!"

Hilary sighed and shook her head, remaining silent. Personally, she didn't want to mess with Kai right now…especially when he was in a cross mood.

"I hope you don't get in trouble Hitoshi…for both Raul and Rei becoming, er…" Hilary trailed off, and Hitoshi groaned.

"Yeah…you and me both…" he muttered.

Kai stared at him for a moment, and then sent a glare back at Rei. "You idiot! Now we might lose our coach!" He whacked Rei again.

"I have an abusive best friend!" whined Rei, leaping off of his chair and hiding between Hitoshi and Hilary. "Kai is so mean!"

"Get out from underneath the table!"

"Would you both quit acting like little kids!" Hilary said loudly, scowling at both of them. "None of this would have happened if you hadn't wandered away!" she said, suddenly losing her temper as she glared at Kai.

Offended, the Russian quickly retorted, "You are his date. I am not your guys' chaperone! Why weren't you looking after him?" As he spoke, he jabbed his finger in the direction of Rei, who was still sitting underneath the table.

Rei and Hitoshi were both quiet, neither understanding why Hilary and Kai had chosen to start such an argument.

Hilary looked dumbfounded for a moment, her eyes fiery. "You're the one who wandered away with your stupid boyfriend!"

"He is NOT my boyfriend!"

"That's not what it looked like when you and Tyson were dancing!"

"That wasn't even dancing!" Kai's face was a dark red now, both from anger and embarrassment. Why did she have to bring that up? In front of Hitoshi too? And it wasn't his fault that Rei went and drank the punch! She didn't have to get mad at him!

"What was it then?"

Surprisingly, this question didn't come from Rei nor Hilary, but rather from Hitoshi. The coach was watching Kai curiously, looking abnormally calm for all the yelling around him. Rei crawled out from underneath the table, peeking over the top to see what was going to happen next.

Hilary nodded, looking from Kai to Hitoshi with a triumphant look on her face. Kai was dumbfounded. Not because he didn't know how to answer, but because Hitoshi had gotten involved in the argument.

When there was no response from any of the three teens, Hitoshi continued.

"Considering the fact that it was a slow dance, the whole team – and their dates," he added, nodding to Hilary. " – figured that you and Tyson were involved."

Rei sniggered. "Yeah right…" he mumbled drunkenly, pulling himself up.

Hitoshi signed and pushed back his chair with a scrape. He stood up and grabbed Rei's arm. "C'mon Rei…let's go see if there's something we can do for you." With that, he tugged Rei away, the neko-jin reluctantly allowing himself to be led away. Kai watched after them, and once both were gone he plopped down in a seat.

"Thanks a lot, Hilary." He mumbled, scowling at her.

Hilary returned the angry frown. "Listen here, you started this."

"How?" Kai replied tiredly, leaning forward and resting his head on the table. He didn't really care what started it at the moment.

"Because you and Rei were being childish." Hilary replied haughtily.

"Whatever."


"I didn't MEAN to embarrass you."

"It happened, didn't it?"

"Silly Hilary…hee…"

Kai groaned, blocking out the music that was playing. Pairs and larger groups were dancing around all around them. Tyson was giving him dirty looks, sitting on the bench next to him.

"Where did you go?" the blue-haired teen demanded, frowning at Kai.

Kai ignored him. "Did Hitoshi give you something Rei?" he asked boredly, leaning back against the wall. Rei was sitting on his other side, nodding and waving a small package around. Hilary was pacing in front of them, obviously worried about the mess she had seemingly gotten Kai into.

"Hitoshi said to take it in the morning!" Rei replied, grinning. "Supposed to help me with something…I'm not sure what."

"A headache."

"Oh…"

Hilary stopped pacing, and then turned to look at Tyson. "What are you doing over here?" she asked, blinking at him.

Tyson gave her an odd look. "Well, obviously because my date is over here, worrying about your date."

"Oh. Yeah…that makes sense," Hilary said absent-mindedly. Her eyes were on the window over Tyson, Kai and Rei. It was very late now, and the sky outside was dark, dotted with little white dots.

Rei noticed her staring, and stood up, kneeling on the bench to look outside as well. The parking lot was deserted, save for the cars. But they didn't really count for much, especially in his mind.

A small, white, cotton-ball-like shape fell into view and both Rei and Hilary watched it fall past the bottom sill. Everyone was quiet, Kai seemingly asleep and Tyson watching Kai, obviously bored.

More flakes began to fall, and Hilary jumped onto the bench, grinning joyously. The bench shook violently and Kai opened his eyes, falling over slightly. Tyson steadied him, both watching Hilary with shocked eyes.

"Look! Look! Rei, do you know what that is?" Hilary squealed, pointing excitedly at the flakes. Rei stood up on the bench as well, the bench squeaking in protest.

"…cotton."

Hilary rolled her eyes. "No."

"…cotton candy."

Kai and Tyson glanced at each other, and then stood on the bench as well, looking out the large window. Now, the bench was practically screaming: 'I was MADE to be sat on!'

"It's snow!" Tyson cried, trailing the fall of a snowflake with his finger, leaving a small mark on the clean window.

Kai blinked, watching the snowflakes, his breathe fogging the window a little bit. "…snow? Those things are too big to be snow?"

Hilary seemed not to be listening. She grabbed Rei's arm, squealing happily as she jumped off the bench, Rei falling next to her.

"Come on! Let's go watch the snowflakes!" she cheered, hurrying across the dance floor, through the throng of people and towards the main doors.

Tyson hopped off the bench, Kai stepping down next to him.

"Should we follow them?" Tyson asked, not looking at Kai. Their teammates had begun to turn to watch Hilary chant: "Snow! Snow! Snow!" and drag Ray along with her outside. Many were going over to windows, watching the flakes as well.

"Might as well," Kai replied, shrugging and starting after Hilary and Rei. Tyson paused, glanced around him, and then followed Kai, working to match his faster pace.

"You could walk you know!"

"What do you think I'm doing?"


There was an awning over the sidewalk, where the entire team and their dates had gathered, gawking at the large snowflakes.

"They're the size of nipples!" Rei proclaimed loudly, much to the amusement of several of his teammates. Hilary would normally have been embarrassed by this comment, but was too busy dancing in the snow.

"Snow! Snow! Snow!" she sang, trying to catch a flake with her mouth.

Kai stood away from the group, watching Tyson try to catch a flake with his hands. Whenever he caught one, it melted quickly, like it did upon hitting the concrete of the parking lot.

He looked like a child…

Kai smiled at this thought and stuffed his hands in his pockets. It was chilly, but not so cold that one would hide inside. Snow didn't last long here…it was normal for someone, like Hilary for example, to be excited about the snow. But the dual-haired teenager didn't expect Tyson to be that kind of person.

Kai shivered. All of the sudden, he was concentrating on Tyson…not his brother. Maybe it was a start…after all, crushes never really lasted, right?

"Cold?"

Kai snapped out of his daze, looking to his right. He blinked and almost leapt out of his skin in surprise.

"Hitoshi!"

The older smiled at him and then looked over at Tyson. Kai turned his gaze to the younger Kinomiya as well. He was now jumping to catch particularly large flakes between his hands.

"It's pretty." Hitoshi commented after a few moments of silence between them.

Kai blinked again, and then looked up at Hitoshi. "Yeah…"

There was no moon that night, it was a completely dark sky. However, when one looked straight up they could see all the layers of the snow…like they were looking into a completely different world.

Kai did this as he stepped out from underneath the awning, hands still in his pockets. Snow began to settle in his hair, and on his face.

This was the sort of thing that inspired people.

He looked down again, and saw Hitoshi doing the same thing. The older had one hand in front of him, waiting for a snowflake.

Kai watched him for a moment, and then Hitoshi turned and grinned at him. Kai turned red and looked away, seeing Tyson watching them. He had a frown on his face.

Their eyes met, and Kai's face became an even darker red. Scowling, Tyson looked away and wandered farther into the parking lot.


There…I hope you liked it! I thought this chapter was one of my longest! It may not be as funny, but I'm very irritable at the moment.

I tried to hint more at Tyson and Kai near the end, hopefully you noticed…

I've got to go to Soccer Practice right away! xD
