2011 A/N: Ignore that up there about the "0000" lmao remember my rant at the beginning of chapter 1? Yeah...

Suki opened her eyes a bit. Then more and more until they were completely open. Everything seemed to be out of focus. She blinked once. Twice. Several times until everything became clear. She saw everything different. She looked around. She wasn't in her room. So, where was she?

A loud snort made her head turn quickly to her right. The movement was so sudden, she lost focus once again and it took her a while to regain it again. On a chair she saw Tyson; his legs were up in the air, his back was on the sitting cushion of the chair, his arms were somehow below the chair and his head has hanging from the seat edge. His mouth was open, snoring and drooling like an open faucet.

There was a shoe in his mouth. It belonged to Max, who was sleeping in a chair next to Tyson, but unlike him, it seemed the chair was carrying him like a baby. On the bed's feet, was a medium sized sofa. Ray was on one side of it, a cover up to his hips and sleeping soundly. Kenny was on the other side. He was hugging his laptop and muttering nonsense in his sleep; probably scientific stuff.

There was a window on the left side of the bed, a bit far away. It had space enough for two people to sit there. Kai was there, his back against one of the window walls, his legs were taking over the rest of the space; one was bent, the other outstretched. His arms were crossed and his eyes closed. Suki smiled. It was a lovely sight. The guys she barely knew were there with her, waiting for her recovery…

"How ya feeling?" asked Ray's voice. Suki turned slowly to him, afraid that if she moved to fast, she would loose focus again.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"Hospital." Said Max. He had also awakened.

"How did I get here?"

"Kai brought you here." Yawned Tyson, rubbing all the drool from his face.

"What happened?"

"You fainted." Said Kai, still with his eyes closed. "Seems you used up a lot of energy when you pushed Poipoider out of the battling plate."

"Doctors say that if you rest, you may go home this afternoon." Said Kenny, putting his glasses on. "You really scared us."

"What about the battle?" asked Suki. "Who won? What happened after I was gone? What day is it? What…"

"Whoa, whoa, WHOA!" said Tyson, holding up his hands in a signal of STOP. "Calm down lady! One question at a time!"

"The battle turned out ok. We won first place. Thanks to you." Said Max with a cheeky smile. Tyson rolled his eyes but smiled at her anyway; he didn't like to be reminded of his failures.

"After he checked your pulse, Kai sent me and Max to go fetch the nurse while Tyson and Kenny accepted the trophy." explained Ray.

"Since the nurse took a while, Kai carried you into his limo and here and then demanded they center their attention on you until you recovered." Informed Kenny.

"Oh, and its Sunday morning." Added Tyson.

Suki stared at Kai who was now staring out the window. He had a light blush on his cheeks. Seeing this, Suki herself blushed.

At that moment, Kugamoro and Kazumi Tatewaki came into the room followed by Ishuzo. "How ya doing, sis?" she greeted.

After Suki's parents had thanked the blade breakers for helping Suki, the guys headed towards the door and Suki said "You don't have to go. You can stay longer."

"No, we must go." Said Kai.

"Yeah, my grandpa's probably worried sick about me." Said Tyson.

"Yeah, my mom too." Said Max.

"Tell me about it." Said Kenny.

Then they left. 5minutes later, Yumiko and Teletha came into the room. "Is she awake?" asked Yumiko. They both looked towards the bed, and seeing Suki there staring at them, made them squeal. "SHES AWAKE!" said Teletha.

"What crazy friends I have." Thought Suki.

They all settled around Suki to hear about what had happened, but when Teletha sat down on the chair where Tyson had slept, she instantly stood right up again screaming; "EWWW! THIS CHAIR'S WET!" Suki smiled, remembering Tyson's posture and drooling mouth.

They didn't stay much. Besides the fact that Suki didn't remember much about the incident, Kugamoro had to go to work as well as Kazumi. Ishuzo was going to go do chores at home for Suki's return and Teletha was helping her. Yumiko also wanted to help, but she had to go baby-sit her sister and cousin, but promised she would come by later before Suki left home. When all the commotion was gone, Suki laid on her pillow, pulled the covers up to her chin and fell into a rest full sleep.

When she woke up again, it was 5:30 pm; 6 hours since she last fell asleep. Everyone was there; there was a table at the bed's feet. Ray, Max, Tyson, Kugamoro and Ishuzo were playing card on it. Kenny was showing some technological beyblading strategies to Kazumi, Yumiko, Teletha and Maya. Kai was on the window again, eyes closed, arms crossed.

"Hey sweetie! How did you sleep?" asked Kazumi after she noticed her daughter was awake. Everyone stopped what they were doing in wait for her response.

"Ok, I guess." She replied.

"Wanna play?" asked Tyson waving a pack of cards in the air.

"Suki, I was just telling your mother in friends about some technological advances I would like to try on Odeon. Do you mind?" asked Kenny.

"Go for it." Said Suki. Then she turned to Tyson, who was still waving the cards in the air. "Bring them over."

"In a few seconds, they were all around her, playing "bull-shit". "Wanna play?" asked Tyson to Kai, although Tyson already knew the answer.

Suki looked over at him, and he stared back. Then he turned around to gaze to the outside world again and said, "That game's for babies."

Everyone shrugged and continued to play. Suki, however, fell deep in thought. Were had she seen that behavior before?

"Time to go." Announced Kugamoro. "You ready honey?"

"Yeah." Said Suki.

In between Kai and Ray, they lifted her up and settled her in a wheel chair. Suki thought that the wheel chair was overly dramatic, but the doctors had said that she had to rest at least until the next day.

Kazumi was waiting outside in the car. Yumiko, Teletha, Maya and Ishuzo had left to the Tatewaki house. Tyson, Max and Kenny had gone home to tell their parents where they were going and agreed to meet at Suki's house in exactly 10 minutes.

Kugamoro pushed the wheel chair outside and Kai and Ray carried her again into the car, then helped her dad settle the chair in the trunk. When they left, Kai was on Suki's left side and Ray on her right, talking to her.

Nobody noticed that every now and then, Kai blushed at the knowledge of being next to Suki.

"WHY ON EARTH DO I FEEL LIKE THIS?" he wondered.

The rest of the afternoon had gone pretty good. They had played games, watched movies and danced. Kai and Suki were the ones out of the dancing part. Kai because "he-didn't-know-how" and Suki because she had to rest. Sometimes Tyson would dance with Ray, Max, Yumiko or Teletha, and make them spin all over the living room. Once or twice he asked Kai to dance with him, only to receive a growl and a death glare.

It was surprising to see Kenny dancing and away from Dizzi who was the one playing the music. By then Suki had learned that Kenny had somehow gotten his bit-beast stuck in his computer instead of his beyblade.

After Midnight, everyone called home to say they were going to stay over. Ishuzo lended her room to Max and Tyson; she was sleeping in Suki's room with Teletha, Yumiko and Maya. Kai, Ray and Kenny had settled themselves in the living room.

Suki couldn't sleep. She was tired but the sleep had gone away. "Odeon, what should I do?" asked Suki.
"What do you mean?" asked the phoenix.

"I know I've seen Kai's behavior somewhere, but I surely can't place it."

"Think about it Suki. Don't you think that used to be your behavior?"

Maybe Odeon was right. "But if that's true," she thought, "then maybe…" she didn't finish. Instead, she sat up and quietly headed towards the living room. Her steps were fast and quiet; she surely was glad she hadn't forgotten how to walk. When she got to the living room, she stopped cold and glanced around.

Kenny was asleep in one of the sofas with Dizzi next to him. Ray was on the floor. Apparently he didn't want the sofa. But Kai was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he had gone home? "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" asked a cold voice behind her. She whirled around and found Kai standing a few feet away from her.

"I should ask you the same question." She replied, blushing lightly.

Kai lifted his hand so she could see that he was holding a glass of water. "You?" he asked.

"I… I couldn't sleep." She whispered.

"Can't blame you. You slept all day." Said Kai. "Follow me." He added and then turned towards the kitchen. Suki followed behind. He served her a glass of warm milk and gave it to her. She took it, but didn't drink it. She stared at it as if it contained poison or something.

"It'll help you." He said.

She slowly raised the glass edge to her lips and sipped a bit into her mouth. Then she took a big drink. Seeing this, Kai himself continued to drink his water. They drank in silence, avoiding each others gaze. When they finished, they headed towards the hallway, and went their separate ways. "Night" muttered Suki. "Night" he replied. This surprised him. He didn't expect to respond back. He wasn't even aware of what he was doing until it was done.

When they laid down, they thought about each other unconsciously. When they realized what they were doing, they shook their heads as a sign of disapproval with their thoughts. It couldn't be happening, could it?
