Mac came back from Much-2-Much this time he got third. He wasn't winning much of the trick courses but somehow he felt like he matured enough to not care or at least that's what he hope it was. He made it back to the lodge it was lunch time and he also decided to do a few practice rounds of Kick Doubt before the end of the day. He somehow felt a numbing anger of the whole over all situation. He knew it had something to do with Kaori and Viggo but couldn't quite place blame on them entirely.

Mac entered the doors and their stood Allegra waiting for him near the entrance, leaning against the wall.

" So how did you do hot shot?" she asked as she walked up towards him and gave him a hug. Mac shrugged as he continue to walk on.

"I did okay, I guess." he answered as he turned towards the direction of the restaurant.

"Oh, that's cool, I'm going to take Psymon on The Throne today…." she said as she looked at him, he kept staring straight on ahead, this time she shrugged as they reached the entrance. They headed toward their usual dinning area. Where they sat down waiting for their orders to be taken. They engaged in light conversation as the waiter finally came and went.

"Oh… look who finally came in." she said in a velvety undertone. Mac turned to glance and saw that Viggo had arrived and dressed more formal than normal. Viggo in a light blue suit and Kaori who was now aclothed Geisha. They entered and waited for a while when suddenly a small Japanese man entered, his square wire glasses and same perpetual frown. It was Kaori's father. Mac turned to tell Allegra it was Kaori's father and turned his head back around to continue to watch Viggo bow to greet them and show them the way. A person lead them to one of the finer tables in the restaurant. Mac turned back around burning in anger yet he took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. He pushed his hair back as he glanced at Allegra who was still observing them. He somehow wished he was sitting where she was now at the moment.

" So……." he let out not even thinking of a good topic to talk about. Allegra shook her head and looked back at Mac.

" Oh sorry…" she said as she looked down at the table hands fidgeting. " Um so you know him?" she started as she glanced back towards their direction.

"Huh, oh you mean Kaori's dad….yeah I've met him once." he said as leaned in on the table his head leaning on his hand.

"Really?"

"Yeah, during the last tournament. We stopped by at her home, they live in a condo which was nicely decorated except the fact that neither of them where hardly ever there… ." he paused as he hesitated to continue but Allegra's face expression egged him on. "she took me to her room, which was something else it was the most pinkest shimmering thing I've seen but she had a fantastic view of Tokyo. We sat there on her bed chatting for a while… about stupid things, I was only fifth-teen at the time and we talked about the most stupidest things. I can't remember though, plus she had this heavy accent. Anyhow we heard someone came in we got scared thinking someone broke in but doubt it since she had some high class security. We walked out of the room and their was her father with a nice looking woman. They both seemed surprised when we first saw each other in their living room." Mac looked up as he started to chuckle at his memory.

"And?" Allegra urged as she leaned in seemingly interested in his story.

"And Kaori and her dad got in this argument all in Japanese I couldn't understand at all they were at it in fast speed. I remember me and his lady friend who wore a red dress and we kept exchanging these guilty face expressions cause we know it was kind of both are faults….." he paused as he took another breath the waiter came and started to place their lunch in front of them. Mac continued on as they started to eat.

"Well it turns out that Kaori's mother had died a while back and he had brought home this girl, thinking that Kaori wouldn't be home….and well his father thought that she was doing the same thing. Kaori ended up crying in her room while he told his girlfriend to leave. I ended up sitting in the living room with her father he was pretty nice and normal actually he offered me some food even though I didn't accept any of it. So we sat there, basically he told me not to mess around with his daughter, and this you rub my back I'll rub yours. You know don't mess with me we'll be fine kind of attitude."

Allegra swallowed her food. " You mean he speaks English?" she asked as she took a drink of her tea.

"Yeah, he speaks good English, better than Kaori, I guess he's some sort of business man." he started to eat.

"So you're saying her dad lives in a condo in Tokyo?" she asked as she glanced back towards their direction.

"Uhh yeah, didn't you know? Kaori's loaded. I mean a condo! Sheesh" he said as he took another bite of his dinner.

"Oh, well of course.." she said. They then started to eat their rest of the dinner silently. Finally after sitting their for a while they decided to take their leave.

Mac tried to avoid looking at Kaori's table while they were walking towards the door, Allegra whose arm was now intertwined with his much like Kaori used to. Kaori kept smiling and glancing back to Viggo and her father. He then felt Allegra grip tighter. He then turn to face Allegra pretending that he wasn't looking but it was too late and Allegra had noticed as well. She then started to steer them toward their table Mac was defenseless he didn't know how to respond. He's brain wasn't getting the signals to make his legs stop. Before he knew it Allegra had already arrived at the table.

Kaori's dad had looked up at them his face stern as ever, Viggo who was talking had stopped moments after his smile fading as he had seen who had arrived at the table. Kaori looked up her face now looked puzzled at them as she dropped her eating utensils. For a couple of seconds the area around them seemed to go quiet. All while Allegra who seemed to girlishly cling to his arm.

"Ahem… Do any of you have any business here?" Kaori's father asked. Mac, nervously looked at Allegra as she just shrugged and smiled.

"Why yes we do…… I was just wandering if you recognize this face r--ight here." she silkily as she held his face by the jaw and shook his head as mother would do to a child. She had let go and Mac felt as all his remaining coolness and courage was just sucked right out of him. Mac then looked back at Kaori's father, he finally shrugged Allegra off a bit but still she cling on strong. He then straightened up as best he could and looked towards the man in the eyes.

"Yeah, I mean sir we have met once before." he said as he looked down but he kept his eyes on him. Kaori's father leaned forward, his eyes squinting as he tried to get a better examination of him. Mac then looked up straight and even more so as he could get a better look at his face. Finally a look of reform came upon the mans face and he nodded.

"Yes.. I do remember you. You were the young man who was at my pent house with my daughter when I had arrived one night. I could barely recognize you with all that hair." he said as he then leaned back, looking proud once more. Mac let out a long sigh, as he was holding his breath, he then took a deep one to get his breathing back on track.

"Yes, I'm Mac Fraser, I'm sorry to rudely interrupt you Mr. Nishidake but it seemed my friend here."

"Girlfriend, darling." Allegra butted in.

"Yes, girlfriend here was anxious to meet you." he finished.

"Actually we're good friends of Kaori ourselves. Isn't that right, sweetie." she ended giving him a puppy dog face.

"Is that so…" the man added as he looked around at the table. Viggo had his eyebrows raised and looked confused himself and Kaori's face had slowly changed during the conversation. As her angry expression slowly turned to confusion, then to a blank emotionless to a suddenly rude awakening near the end as Allegra's last statement had sunken in into and mixed expression which Mac could only think of sadden, anger, more or less hurt.

Finally after a moment of more agonizing silence Kaori looked up and her face had suddenly change to a pure anger, which didn't go well with her pale face.

" I'm sorry for this interruption father, I'm sure this wont' happen again any time soon." she spoke to her father but her comment was more direct towards them as she glared up at them. " Now, if you will, I wourd like to continue our meal, thank you." and she looked down once more.

Mac felt a little angry as she talked to him in such a manner. But he had surely got the hint will enough. He looked down at Allegra who had a shocked expression and her mouth was open, obviously ready to retaliate.

"Come on Allegra, it's time to go." he said as he grabbed her by the arm and dragged her towards and doors.

Kick Doubt

Mac covered his face up as he was on his third run Kick Doubt. He was having a hard time concentrating and it was getting dark. He got back into position and jerked himself out toward the blue rails that he seemed to be many of in through out the course. Mac noticed he wasn't still exactly doing his best. In fact he wasn't doing his best at all since the beginning of Peak Three. He finished with yet another high time. Mac took off his board and threw it at the ground as he yelled out in frustration. He started to kick snow all over the place, covering his board and his soaking the lower half of his body as well.

"Hoy, take a look at this, isn't this a sight for sore eyes, aye mate"

"Ohhh, kicking the snow…. Aye, it's well know practice in Canada you know."

Mac turned around his eyes wide to see who was standing behind him. He then shook his head as he slumped his shoulders. He just had to make sure it was them.

"It looks as if he's disappointed." Moby said as he continued to look at him as if Mac was an animal in a cage.

"Oh yeah, he does really seemed bummed out." Psymon said as he crossed his arms and nodded.

"Hoy, how bout we go and ask him what's got him all wind up." Moby said as he also mimic Psymons actions.

"Should I.. Okay." Psymon then turned to face him, Mac already looking like he had wanted no part of it. " Hey Mac! What's got you throwing a tantrum. You little sissy!" Psymon and Moby laughed at him at their little comment. Mac just tensed up his hands in fists but then just shrugged it off.

"It's none of your business." he said as he picked up his board from his snow grave and started to walk past them.

"Aww don't get too upset, we didn't mean anything by it really." Psymon said as he passed. " Come on we're just messing with you, you were throwing a tantrum anyhow. Tell us what's wrong." Psymon kept egging him. Mac stopped and turned towards them.

"I'm just having a bad day and I also made a complete fool of myself in front of Kaori's dad." he said calmly. When he realize why was he telling them what bothered him.

"Aye, I'm sure that's something I can believe there." Moby listened as he nodded.

"Is that it? You sure you aren't missing something?" Psymon added in with a elbow at Moby as he smiled widely waiting for Mac to remember something. Mac looked at them perplexedly as he tried to figure out why they where laughing at him. After a couple of moments they quiet down still looking at him. " He's not getting it." Psymon said to Moby through the corner of his mouth.

"Missing… Oh shit. I missed Allegra's run at The Throne!" he said as he just realized what they were talking about.

" Well Duhh, I'm standing here ain't I?" Psymon mused.

"Thanks you're right, I knew I was missing something." Mac waved as he started at a slow run towards the lift. Psymon and Moby stared at him walk out of sight confused.

"Umm Houston we have a problem, he doesn't know a damn thing" Psymon said with a smirk towards Moby.

"And I must add he isn't the only one, poor blokes." Moby said shaking his head. Psymon took a moment to get comprehend before he howled out in laughter.
