Hayley was waiting with the others while Dan and Runo explained what we where doing today.
Unfortunately all she heard was Drago and Tigrerra and the other Bakugan trying to find out was wrong with Dan and Runo.
"Drago their acting wrong then yesterday after they where done with the dishes." "I know. But wait Skyress your with Tige?"
She looked up surprised to find Dan yapping on about, us splitting up in to groups. No way her and Shun together sign her up. "So do you guys agree? This is the best way for finding the Infinity Core." Dan finished.
She said "Well I agree the smaller the groups the more chances of finding the I.C." "I.C.?" Alice asked. "Infinity Core." "Ohhh."
"Well when do we get started?" Hayley asked. "Any minute." "Then let's go but where's Alice going?" "She's going with Marucho and Julie." "Alright." Her and Dan where saying.
They headed out although Shun wasn't so happy with going with her. Now why is that? She thought and here she thought he was starting to like her.
"Shun come on there are worse things then being stuck with me. Now what is wrong with me, or are you always like this rude and angry?" he looked at her. Then he said "I like you Hayley I just don't like this splitting up routine." "Then what's so wrong about being stuck with me I beat both you and Dan at the same time if you don't remember."
"It's just why would Dan and Runo put us together, then stick themselves together, then stick everyone else together?" "I don't know Shun." "Because they want to play kissy-face. And they want us to do the same." "I'm up for that."
He looked at her weirdly. "What just because I'd like to kiss you make's you think I'm weird." he just shook his head and continued walking, she stared at his back dumbfounded before she remembered they where supposed to stick together.
She ran to catch up with him. "Come on Shun why'd you walk off do you want to kiss me or something?" he stopped in his tracks and turned to face her, his eyes open and wide.
"What would give you that impression?" "That you're afraid to answer me and never look at me unless others are in the room and when you do your always looking at me in a love-sick way." "Are you so dense I do not look like that ever?" "Fine believe what you want Shun not like I mind."
***
Shun watched her walk away angrily. He asked Skyress "What did I do?" "Well first you called her dense. Then you insulted her by saying you would never kiss her. Women do not like to be treated like that Shun."
He looked at Hayley again; she was clutching her head and moaning on her knees. "Hayley!" he ran to her and caught her just as she fell to the ground in a dead faint.
"Shit. What do I do?" "Move her to the shade and try to wake her up." "Gee thanks Skyress."
He picked her up and moved her over to a huge rock that seemed to have good shade around it. And he set her down gently.
"Tige what was she saying just before she fainted?" Skyress asked Tige. "She was talking about how men are sooo stupid and why are they still around and how much she hated Shun." he snapped his head around. "What?"
"She said that she hated you then she started fainting."
"Does this happen a lot Tige?" "No just today she got ready like always." "But it might be stress." "Skyress are you saying I'm to blame for this?" "No master Shun just saying."
He looked back at Hayley; she was no better then when she first fainted. "Looks like we're going to be waiting for a while guys." "Fine but know I blame you for my Darling fainting." Tige jumped to Hayley's side and stayed there balled up. Skyress jumped onto his shoulder and stayed there, not talking at all.

Dan waited for Runo to finish e-mailing Hayley.
"Hey Dan I wonder what their doing right now?" "Probably making out." "Hayley would Shun would probably be running away from her." "Yeah that's more likely." "Yeah but do you think we'll ever find the Infinity Core?" "Yeah we just need to look harder."
They where now walking near a huge cave. "Wanna go in Dan or are you to chicken?" "Count me in I'm not letting you out of my sight." "Stop that?" she said laughing.
"Stop what?" "Stop being so protective." "Hey I'm not that protective Runo, you wanna see protective look at Shun with Hayley." "Yeah I guess I should."
"Should what?" "Look at the way he looks at Hayley."
"Yeah but I wonder how they others are doing?" "Yeah but we cant go calling right now what if they're close and we distract them." "Yeah don't want to get them hurt."
"Your changing Dan, in the beginning you where reckless, now your protective and caring about your team." "Yeah but your changing too, you used to always be mad, now your nicer."

Runo liked his complement, really she did and it was true. "Thanks Dan." "You're welcome Runo."
Runo kissed him on his cheek for being sooo cute.
She swore he blushed. She laughed and he joined in, it felt so natural that they laugh together. "Daniel what are you laughing about?" "Nothing Drago." "My lady?" "It's nothing you wouldn't understand." "Yes my lady."

Hayley woke up and then saw Shun looking at her. "What happened." she tried to sit up but he stopped her. "You fainted."
"No I didn't I was talking to Wyvern." "Who?" "Naga's sister she is the Infinity Core. We have to get back so I can tell the others come on." she started pulling him along as she called Dan and Marucho telling them to get back to the plane.
