"Ok. Lets get this over with."
Max and Tyson leapt across the room and were at the door before Kai had taken even one step.
He sighed and followed his two excited companions to the door...

Chapter 2.

"Ok. Try and have fun Kai! And try to be nice!" Lectured Ray as he shoved Kai out of the car.
Yeah sure. This is gonna be reeeeaaaal fun thought Kai. He sighed inwardly then turned to look at the three grinning faces that peered out of the car windows at him.
"Go." Ordered Ray.
Kai sighed again and slowly made his way up the steps towards the door of the extremely posh restaurant, tugging irritably at his bow tie again.
Ray watched his friend walk through the door and smiled. His captain had always been very withdrawn and quiet when it came to matters like this, but he'd been determined for a long time to get him to open up a little and learn how to interact with the opposite sex. This seemed like the perfect opportunity.
He'd known her since starting work at the school. She was a nice enough girl. Quite quiet, but very pretty and fun to be around. He knew she was single, and that she had been for a while so he'd asked her if she'd like to be set up. She'd been a bit reluctant at first but soon changed her mind when he'd said that the person he wanted to set her up with was none other than Kai Hiwatari. She'd gotten very excited when he'd said that. He just hoped she wasn't an annoying fangirl as he knew that she wouldn't last five seconds around Kai if she was. Kai couldn't really handle fangirls. Ray chuckled at the memory of one fangirl who'd tried to rip a piece of Kai's famous scarf off as a souvenir. Kai had gone mental. It took all three of him, Max and Tyson to drag him off her. Fortunately she wasn't really hurt, and also fortunately the press had their cameras focussed on Tyson at the time, so the situation was handled relatively easily. The girl didn't even seem to care that Kai had just attacked her! Because she'd actually had Kai hiwatari on top of her she was almost hysterical with excitement, and seemed to want to make him do it again! The four Bladebreakers had made a very hasty exit that day!

Anyway, Ray had arranged for Kai and Sarah to go for a meal at the poshest restaurant in town, which was why Kai was dressed up in his 'penguin suit' as Tyson had dubbed it. Ray didn't think that a club would have been Kai's cup of tea, but a posh restaurant where he could splash out as much money as he wanted and be treated like royalty, now that sounded like something right up Kai's street!

Kai walked proudly up to the waiter at the stand at the front of the restaurant. He may not have wanted to be here but he wasn't going to show any form of weakness to anyone.
"Reservation for Hiwatari." He stated in an extremely authoritative voice.
"Ah yes." Replied the waiter after scanning the list of reservations in front of him. "This way please Sir."
Kai followed the waiter to a booth, at the far end of the restaurant, surrounded by a plush red curtain, near to the bar, and hidden from view from the rest of the restaurant.
At least Ray picked a good place to sit.
Kai sat.
"Would you like a drink Sir?"
"Double Vodka. On the Rocks."
"Right away Sir" the waiter replied before hurrying off and returning with his drink.
Kai sat swirling his drink for a while, staring at the empty seat opposite him, wondering what this girl was going to be like. Ray seemed to be a good judge of character so she should be ok. However he still wasn't sure about this entire thing.

Thirty minutes passed and Kai was on his second vodka of the night, but Sarah was nowhere to be seen.
A waiter walked past the table with a tray of drinks.
"Excuse me, but has a woman named Sarah arrived at the front desk asking for Kai?"
"Erm. I'm not sure Sir. I shall just deliver these drinks and then I shall check for you."
"Thank you."

"I'm sorry Sir, but your guest has not yet arrived, but we will direct them to your table when they do," the waiter said after his return.
"Thank-you," Kai replied. He looked into his drink and swigged the rest down in one gulp.
"Another please, "he told the waiter who quickly scurried off.
I'm gonna kill you Ray!
