Hello. It's me again. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Geez, I wish I could come up with a better summary.

Chapter three - Beginning of trouble

XX

It had been several days since the photo shoot but Kai had yet to overcome the humiliation of it, and a chance reminder pushed Kai to try and disembowel Tyson all over again.

Currently, the three bladers unaffected by the body swap were praying for Kai's supposedly boundless restraint to finally show itself before things got ugly.

"You! Do you have any idea how dead you will be?" Kai snarled at Tyson, who was in the middle of watching TV.

Tyson carelessly threw the remote over his shoulder. "Aww, c'mon, Kai! Don't be such a sourpuss. You changed my image so why can't I change yours?"

"I made you look cool! You should be thanking me! You, however, made me the most desirable object to every rapist, pervert and obsessive fangirl across the globe!"

"Is that a good thing?"

"What do you think?"

"Tyson! Kai!" Kenny quickly stepped in before Kai could throttle the world champion. "You've just been in each other's company for too long! There's no need to get violent!"

"Tell that to Mr Sourpuss over there!" Tyson growled.

"Maybe you should go for a walk, Tyson?" Kenny suggested. Getting the two away from each other before all hell broke loose was his top priority.

"I could use the fresh air," Tyson agreed before muttering under his breath, "somewhere where the party pooper won't cramp my style."

Kai glared at the boy currently occupying his body. Unfortunately, he could find no fault with Kenny's suggestion. "Max. Ray. Baby-sit him for a while," he ordered the other two bladers.

"Huh? Why?"

"Just don't let him do anything stupid," Kai growled menacingly, his voice laced with an unseen threat.

Ray nodded responsibly. They would take care of Tyson.

"Ah, man! It's good to get some fresh air!"

"I hope he doesn't do anything stupid!" Ray muttered to himself as he trailed after Tyson, wondering just where the boy got all that energy from, whilst being slightly disturbed at seeing a 'bouncy' Kai.

Max smiled at him sympathetically and hurried on.

"Why are you guys hanging back there? C'mon!" Tyson, who was already half way through the park, waved at them to catch up.

"You're in a good mood now, Tyson," Ray observed.

"Yeah, well, I'm sorta getting used to being Kai. Y'know what I mean?"

Max was about to ask him why when a body collided with Tyson, sending the young girl who had run into him flying onto the floor. Tyson stumbled back awkwardly and was caught by Max and Ray.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I - "

The girl was cut off as Tyson, in Kai's body, took her hand and helped her to her feet.

"Are you okay, Miss?" he leaned forward, gallantly smiling, crimson eyes softening to look almost tender.

The girl was stunned silent.

Max and Ray were stunned stupid.

What was Tyson thinking doing that with Kai's body? More importantly, since when had Kai been able to smile like that and…and were those bubbles shimmering in the background?!

"Y – yes!" the girl blushed and ran off, squealing happily.

They watched her go until she disappeared.

For a moment, there was absolute silence.

"Ha!" Tyson then began to laugh. "Ha ha! Did you see that? She looked so happy she could have died!" he almost keeled over from laughter. Seeing people react that way was just too funny.

"What…what's wrong with Tyson?" Max tugged at a horrified Ray.

"He's gone mad with power!"

Both bladers looked on with expressions of shock and disbelief. They considered backing away slowly but Kai would surely force them into training if they did not keep Tyson in check.

The question was; just how were they supposed to keep him in check?

"Man, I wonder if Kai's having this much fun!" Tyson's laughter sounded almost maniacal.

"I'm trying, Kai! I'm trying, honest!" Kenny was almost ready to cry. Typing away furiously on Dizzi, he tried to ignore the cold feeling of something long and metallic tickling his neck.

"Try…harder!" Kai growled and Kenny wondered what he had ever done to deserve such a fate.

"Hey, hey guys! Take a look at this!" Tyson beckoned the two reluctant bladers towards the fountain. As they got near enough, he suddenly struck a daring pose, smiling as if he were advertising for a toothpaste company. "Aren't I sexy?" he grinned.

Ray smacked his hand against his forehead. "Somebody…please stop him!"

"Jeez, Kai has it so easy! With his looks he can get anything he wants! I bet he's smart enough to get a good paying job too. He seems like the brainy kind. Oh, this is so sweet!"

Tyson rambled, completely oblivious to the two horrified bladers. Much to their ever-increasing dread, Tyson spotted a nearby café and was ready for an early dinner. "I'm gonna chat up that waitress and see if she'll give me some free food!"

"If you make Kai fat, he's gonna kill you," Max called after him.

"It's okay, Max, I get full up really quickly in Kai's body," he replied as he practically bounced over the café with careless good cheer.

"I wonder if Kai's having this much fun," Ray murmured and followed after the others.

"Damn Tyson! Damn stupid, fat pig!"

Kenny was worried.

He was worried about his own life, of course. He was worried about his own safety, but he was also worried about Kai's sanity. He was also worried about Kai's taste buds.

Finally plucking up his courage, he decided to let his voice be heard. "Uh…Kai?"

"What?" the blader snapped at the bespectacled boy.

"Uh…I don't know if soya sauce goes well with bread."

Kai leaned against the kitchen cabinet. The drawers were all open and the fridge door left ajar. "Well, it was the only thing left in the kitchen and I'm hungry," he said, defiantly tearing into the bread.

Kenny eyed the empty fridge nervously. "After you ate so much?"

Kai moved the bread away from his lips and scowled. "It's Tyson! Stupid, damn pig has a stomach like a bottomless pit!" he cursed the body that he was stuck inside as its stomach growled for the umpteenth time. "Damn Tyson! Damn, stupid, stupid - "

Before he could begin trashing the kitchen out of annoyance, both boys heard the door to the dojo slide open and a familiar, female voice calling through the hallway.

"Hellooo! Is anyone there? I'm back from my holiday!"

"Hilary!"

The girl tracked the source of their voices to the kitchen. Her head curiously peeked inside before she entered, deciding to make no comment on the state of the kitchen. "Hey, guys, I just got back from my holiday in Rome," she greeted them cheerfully. There was a duffel bag slung over her shoulder, which she dumped on the floor.

"Was it fun?" Kenny asked, wondering if she would be able to tell that 'Tyson' was acting strange.

"Oh, sure!" she clapped her hands in delight. "But the most fun was getting back here!"

Kenny peered at her present. Hilary was notorious for keeping up with all of the beyblading magazines and the item she held in her hands was…

"Is that - "

"Intimate bedroom photos!" she squealed and shoved the images into Kenny's nose. "Is it a publicity stunt? What could get the ever-famous Kai, the Ice Lord, to pose in such a vulnerable positions?" she read the headlines before turning the page. "And look! Tyson's topping!"

Kenny froze. He suddenly became aware of a very dangerous, murderous presence growing just behind his back. Abort! Abort! System meltdown! Everything was going pear-shaped and he was sure that Kai was ready to explode.

"W – well, I'm sure – Kai, I - I mean, Tyson! Where are you going?" he stuttered as Kai suddenly moved to the end of the kitchen and began rummaging through the bottom cabinets.

Kai glanced over his shoulder. The expression on his face made Kenny's blood run cold.

"I feel a sudden urge to reacquaint myself with Mr. Sharp and pointy cleaver."

Hilary, who had not been paying attention to Kai's facial expression, only picked up a word foreign to Tyson's lips. "Reacquaint?" she looked questioningly at Kenny.

"Well, we're been working on Tyson's vocabulary and…you see…" the boy trailed off lamely. There was no way they could hide things from Hilary.

"I…I, uh, added a little extra just for you. My number's on the napkin," the waitress, a pretty brunette with dark brown eyes, coyly slid the napkin along with the food towards Tyson's seat.

Whilst Max and Ray felt like they were watching some sort of love scene from a movie, Tyson flashed her a brilliant smile and gave her a thank you that almost made her swoon.

"Gorgeous and generous! The two best qualities I look for in a girl," he winked.

"Oh, please!" the waitress looked bashful.

"…Oh please…" Max and Ray looked bored.

"Here, have a drink. It's on me," the waitress pushed a soda towards Tyson, never taking her eyes off of him as he pleasantly smiled back at her.

Both Max and Ray were sure that she would soon die from blood loss through the nose unless she moved away quickly, which luckily she did, thanks to her boss calling for her to attend to another table.

"Okay, enough Tyson, if you keep doing that Kai's gonna be pissed," Ray warned him as the woman finally left.

Tyson, however, simply laughed and took a sip of hid free soda. "Hey, I'm just having my fun! If I get free food as well then it's an extra bonus!"

Ray was about to answer that. His mouth was half-open when he felt something yank at his sleeve, pulling him away from Tyson

"We've got to stop him!" Max whispered in his ear.

"I know, but how?" There was not anything they could say or do to stop him. Tyson had free reign of Kai's body. He supposed that they could tie him up…

"Kai's body isn't there for you to use in order to get free food," he admonished. If worse came to worse, they could use his hair wrap.

"But he's sexy! What's wrong if girls wanna give him something for looking good?"

At those words, Ray's eyes narrowed. The cat had caught his prey!

"…Tyson, you do realise that you've been calling Kai sexy quite a lot today," he said, speaking lightly, though Tyson's eyes widened further than possible. He went pale and stopped in the middle of sipping his drink. He froze.

"Great job, Ray!" Max gave him the thumbs up.

Tyson, on the other hand, seemed scarred for life.

I was asked about this, and I admit that I like Kai as uke. I don't know if that will show in my writing, but I do enjoy a non-weepy uke Kai. Anyway, please review.
