Giving Up Meat For Lent
Day 29 - 'I'm A True Vegetarian.'

"If I complete this vegetarian lent thing. Will you consider eating a McDonald's with me?"

"No."

"Oh come on. You really are a grouch sometimes Kai." Tyson then paused when the two stopped outside a conference room. He suddenly felt unsettled as he witnessed Kai's reaction to that immature comment. However, it didn't take him long to change the subject quickly, especially as he wanted to dodge the up-coming argument,"Anyways, why did you bring me here again?"

'He hasn't been listening to me. What a surprise.' - The Russian huffed and he reached out his hand to press it against the heavy wooden door.

Funnily enough, he'd got a banging headache from all the singing that Tyson had performed on the journey to the vegetarian society meeting. The poor Hiwatari wasn't in the mood for any trouble, especially as he couldn't wait to return back to the dojo to down a bottle of vodka to relax himself for the evening.

'He really can't handle those Mariah Carey notes very well. It was like listening to him hit puberty all over again~'

"Tyson, just stay quiet and listen to what they have to say. I think you might learn a thing or two about why we are doing this."

"Okay, okay, okay." Tyson held up his palms like he was being taken hostage. "I won't say a word unless it's useful."

When the two males sat amongst the circle of chairs, they scanned their eyes sub-consciously at the people who were surrounding them. One by one, they would then discuss a topic that related to the vegetarian lifestyle: recipes, the purpose of animals and then their personal life experiences.

"So how are you finding the meat replacements in your diet Mr Granger?" The host asked, she was sat in the centre of the circle. The woman was gazing at the champion with such enthusiasm glowing in her eyes – it was almost like the woman was starstruck. "Do you like the Quorn brand?"

"Well, I don't really like the Quorn very much. It tastes like soggy frozen mince meat. However, I do like my eggs..."

He was interrupted by a keen know-it-all of the group.

"I'm a true vegetarian. I won't eat eggs or Quorn." They stated in a snob tone, they clearly were trying to belittle him. "You should stick to protein pills as they are more effective and harmless to the animals."

"Hey, I have only been a vegetarian for just under a month, relax. Besides, I'm learning from the best there is." Tyson stuck up his thumb to his best friend, "He's an expert in the healthy living department."

"Oh, is that so? Well, do go on."

The tension in the atmosphere was reaching an all time high. Nobody had the balls to utter a single syllabol, especially as Kai was the quietest member of the group – whom had been refusing to speak all evening.

Even Tyson's eyebrows were raised. He was really intrigued to see how this debate was going to kick off – especially as Kai was really passionate about this delicate subject. Yet this time when Tyson skimmed his innocent brown eyes over to his captain, he could tell that Kai was on the defence.

The Hiwatari's pupils had narrowed and his arms unfolded. He then linked his hands into one another and then rested them into his lap. He was finally comfortable enough to drive this 'proper vegatarian' into an early grave. Kai was going to roast the bastard.

"Well, let me ask you this. Do you eat honey?"

"Yes. It's a natural resource..."

A wide victorious grin then spread across Kai's lips. The Phoenix Prince had already ended the argument, and this pleased him greatly. Kai royally straightened himself up in his seat and he held his head high.

"Then you are not a true vegetarian. You clearly need to educate yourself with how the honey is retrieved for human consumption." He stated in such a sour tone. "The bees sadly die in the process."

"Boom!" The champion laughed and clapped supportively. "You are a legend Kai. After all, everyone with common sense knows that picking up an egg is less harmful to the free ranged animal."

'Oh, I know I am.' - The Phoenix wielder thought to himself with a huge sense of pride shivering up his spine. "I think I am just about done here." He rose up onto his feet and he brushed his scarf over his left shoulder. He was ready to leave and return to his beyblade training.

But just as the captain exited the building, a hand appeared on his shoulder. Yet when he turned around to face the intruder, his face dropped with surprise – it was Bryan. Kai quickly slapped the hand away from his body and he naturally took a step backwards to distance himself.

"I don't want to hear what's about to come out of your mouth. So keep it to yourself." He snarled, making the silver haired Blitzkrieg Boy chuckle devilishly "And go away Bryan."

"Jeez calm down Kai. I was only going to ask how your vegetarian streak is going." Bryan then held up a Beyblade Gossip magazine and he flashed in front of Kai's face. "It's everywhere in the news and the girls are practically fingering themselves about how handsome Tyson have got over the past few weeks."

"Fuck off..." Kai then froze for a brief second. "They are saying Tyson is hot?"

"Ohhh, now you are interested with what's coming out of my mouth." Bryan teased and he tapped his finger over the magazine front cover, "Apparently his merchandise is selling like hotcakes."

Despite that he wasn't bothered about this unintelligent statement made by some money making journalist; he squinted at the magazine cover that Bryan was shoving in his face. It did slightly amuse him about the fact that the Russian's had doodled all over the Dragoon wielder's face, they'd given him the extra features: devil horns, a Hitler mustache and a mono-brow. Plus, don't forget the odd shaped object that was sticking in Tyson's wide mouth. Hmmm~

'I guess that is their only form of entertainment on the long flight, huh?' - Kai figured before turning his back to Bryan for the final time. He wasn't interested in wasting anymore of his precious time.

Moments later though, a familiar voice echoed within the city air.

"BRYAN! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BEAUTIFUL FACE ON THAT MAGAZINE!?" Tyson protested with so much hurt in his voice. "And what is that in my mouth? You are just disgusting!"

"Hey! You're sucking a cucumber, not a cock." Bryan then waved the magazine in his face whilst cackling like a cheeky hyena. "I might just upload this to instagram..."

"If you do that! I will tell Tala that I found you walking out of alcoholic anonymous."

"Is that the best you can come up with Granger?" Bryan wasn't impressed, "Snap-chat him the worst scenario you can think of."

"Fine! I will." Tyson huffed and he pulled his mobile phone from his jean pockets, he opened up the snap-chat app and he began to tap away. "I'm beginning to wonder if there is any point because we both know you're a nutcase. Your snap-chat demonstrates that pretty well..."

"Exactly, nothing you'd say would shock Tala." Bryan snatched the phone from the champion and he stuffed it into his pocket, "You are such a moron sometimes Tyson."

"Am I?" Tyson straightened his back and he smiled cheekily, "We'll see who the moron is when Tala opens that snap-chat message."

~I just saw Bryan plucking a duck, then stuffed the feathers up his butt~

'Is that what his counseling sessions are paying for now?' Tala text back shortly, sounding very unsure. 'Tell him to bring the duck home for dinner when he's done. Oh, and tell him to get a bottle of vodka on the way back.'

A/N: When I first converted to being a vegetarian, I honestly thought we were all 'understanding' people because we shared the same interest (not eating meat). But after meeting another veggie recently, I discovered that some people are super competitive. So I did a Kai and shut them down because I don't have the patiences to bitch like a little school girl. Be what you wanna be and be proud of it because not everyone has the balls to be unique these days - Granger~

Thanks for all the support guys, I adore you all xXx
