Chapter 8: Owari

Authors Note: I decided to break away from the angst in this chappy. I mean Max and Tyson are together right? They deserve a break from the tears. Unless the tears are joyful. Joyful tears are ok. Enjoy! Super special ending by the way. I can't even believe I made it this far. I'm so cool! Jk. Thanks for sticking through it to the end though. Love you!

I suddenly sprang awake, bothered by something in my chest. It hurt really badly but I can't really describe it. I looked at the clock and saw it was about 7:35. Way too early for vacation. It was really quiet so I guessed everyone was still asleep. Kenny was also asleep underneath his covers. Wait a minute, why is Kenny in Alan's bed!? My eyes widened thinking of what it would be like if they went out. That's when I realized that there was someone next to me. I looked over and saw Tyson on his side facing away from me. That's when it hit me. Yesterday wasn't a dream. Everything that had happened had actually occurred! I turned my body towards his watching his naked back rise and fall slowly. It was really hot underneath the covers which explained why Tyson had his shirt off in the first place. I stripped mines off as well before lying back down with a sigh. Tyson soon turned over onto his other side, facing me. I stroked his cheek slowly marveling to myself how exciting this was that it wasn't a dream. I leaned over and kissed him, wrapping my arms around the sleeping boy's neck. He didn't respond, but after awhile I felt his lips move and his arms snake around my waist. He held me like that for a good 10 minutes before rolling onto his back bringing me with him. I broke away from some much needed air and put my head onto his chest. "That's a nice way to wake up." He said smiling.

"Glad you liked it. Your way better than Alan…" I kind of whispered towards the end realizing what I had just said. Luckily he took it as a compliment and grinned.

"I better be!" he said before laughing. I also joined in and we laughed for about 30 seconds before dying down still smiling. "Why are you up so early?" he asked me spreading his arms out on the bed.

"I don't know. I just woke up."

"Well I like the wake up call, but I'm going to get another hour of sleep." He said yawning. I propped up on my elbows to say ok but what I saw horrified me. Yes, its true that yesterday wasn't a dream but that means that the fight we had was real as well. The proof was right in front of my face and when I saw it, I instantly felt so much guilt it hurt. On Tyson's right cheek was a scar from where I had hit him. It was a small x shaped cross in his perfect skin. It wasn't ugly, in fact if I weren't the one that had caused it, I'd say it made him look even cooler. But I did cause it. That scar was a permanent reminder of what I had done. My eyes watered and my heart pounded against my chest. I think he must have noticed because he looked at me and asked me what was wrong. I shook my head and slid off his chest and back onto my side of the bed. I buried my head in the pillow trying to tell myself it was ok. "Max. Is it something I said? I can stay up if you really want me too." He said obviously feeling it was his fault.

"Its not you Tyson." I muffled into my pillow. "I put that horrible scar on your beautiful face!" I yelled also into the pillow.

"You mean this cool battle mark? I like it actually. Thanks for it!" he said smiling.

"No its not! You're just saying that!" I said into the pillow.

"No I'm not. Really. Come on Maxie, cheer up." He said thoughtfully.

"Uh uh." I said into the pillow shaking my head.

"Cheer up." He said poking me in my ribs.

I arched my body away from his finger as it hit my skin. I'm terribly ticklish. I shook my head again stubbornly. "Cheer up." He said again poking me in a different spot. I arched my body again, biting the pillow to stop myself from laughing. "Ok, I warned you." He said. I braced myself for what was to come. A few minutes passed and he didn't do anything. I looked up and saw him grinning at me. I threw my head back down just as his hands came and he started tickling the crap out of me. I tried my best to resist but couldn't help it and I started laughing. I turned on my back trying to get away from his fingers but that only made it worse and I soon found myself back on top of his chest once he had stopped, breathing heavily with a smile. I turned myself so I was on my back looking at the ceiling.

"So you're not mad?" I asked.

"Yup! That's why I just tickled the crap out of you until you cried. Of course I'm not mad!" he answered back.

"Good." I replied. Tyson's phone suddenly started vibrating on the wooden counter next to his bed. He grabbed it and put it up to his ear.

"Morning Takao, you're up pretty early. Put Ray on the phone." Kai's voice said through the phone.

"Why don't you just call Ray? Why always me?" he asked stifling a yawn.

"Because Ray will sleep the day away without any practice to do trust me. He won't answer his phone no matter what. Now can you just bring him the phone?"

"Kk." He answered with a sigh. I rolled off of him and smiled at him. He kissed me on the nose before standing up and walking into Ray's room still half awake. I decided a little more sleep would do me some good.

(Ten minutes later.)

"Tyson! I'm not making you breakfast then! How about that!?" Ray said dragging Tyson around the living room. So much for a little more sleep. I looked up and yawned. Alan was still asleep, thank god. Looks like another normal morning though.

"Rayyy! I'm sorry!!" the navy haired boy pleaded to the neko-jin. I watched from the doorway as the two went around the couch multiple times. I also noticed that Ray had a big red mark on his forehead. Tyson should really stop throwing things at people to wake them up. Wait a minute. I sat up in my bed and watched as Tyson gave up, and stood up waiting for Ray to tell him what he had to do to make up for the "incident." Tyson's here! Me and him, yesterday; I'm in Tyson's bed! That means last night wasn't and the whole day yesterday wasn't a dream! That means ten minutes ago wasn't a dream! That means Tyson's not mad at me! I sprang up out of his bed and ran into the living room as fast as I could. I couldn't believe it really. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream I swear! This wasn't the first time I had dreamt about him. In fact that's why I felt that this was a dream; because it seemed so familiar to the many I had already had of him.

"Takao!!!!" I shouted as I glomped the living crap out of him. He gasped just before we hit the ground. I had my arms around his neck and was currently squeezing the breath out of him.

"Maxie… I… can't… breathe." He choked out from underneath me. I gasped and let go of him, sitting on his stomach.

"Sorry. I got a little excited." I said blushing. He sat up on his elbows and smiled.

"It's ok. Good morning Maxie." He said grinning.

"Uhhh, what was that about?" Ray said confused. I looked over and suddenly remembered Ray was there.

"Oh um. I was just, umm, excited? Yeah, excited! What do we have planned for today?" I asked quickly changing the subject. Tyson and I hadn't exactly told the rest of the team what had happened in the vents. It was our little secret for now. Plus we still had the whole Alan situation to deal with. I know what your thinking, why not just break up with Alan and tell them right? Yeah, well it's not that easy. One, we tried telling him and he kept brushing it off like a joke. I even made it pretty obvious when I refused to kiss him. Two, the conversation hadn't popped up and do you know how awkward it would be to just throw that out there like that? (A mistake I made in my first fic. That was sooooo awkward!!!) Anyways, we want to wait until the right time. Until then, it's a secret.

"Well, we were planning on going to the Magic Kingdom today. Kai already went to check on what was going on today." Ray said heading into the kitchen and opening the fridge.

I looked over the counter before looking behind me and making sure all the doors were closed. I then looked down at the boy who was still beneath me. He was way ahead of me and pulled my chin to his before capturing our lips in a kiss. It only lasted a second but the effect was forever. I hated how we were a secret but unfortunately it had to be done. I don't think I would be able to handle telling anybody except for our team and I wasn't even sure I could tell them yet. Tyson, being the lovable teddy bear that he is, told me to wait until I was ready. He didn't want it to be another remake of the night that Alan kissed me in front of everyone. Anyways we pulled away quickly just as the front door opened revealing Kai. "Morning. What's going on here?" he said looking at Tyson and me. I quickly jumped off of Tyson's waist and sat down on the floor blushing slightly.

"I was just about to ask that myself." Ray said grinning from above the counter. Had he seen us? No way right? Jeez I hope not.

(Normal POV)

"I believe I can tell you that. You see last night I was walking by Tyson's r-" Tyson's eyes suddenly widened and he tackled Kai onto the floor planting his hands over his mouth.

"Uhhh can I talk to you for a minute?" Tyson said leading Kai into his room. He looked at Max before gesturing to Kai with his eyes. He then signaled for him to keep Ray busy while he talked to Kai. He closed the door before sighing. "How did you find out?" he said plainly.

"I was planning on asking you something similar. Why didn't you tell me? You trust me don't you?" Kai said sitting on Ray's bed.

Tyson sat next to Kai, putting his head on his shoulder. "Of course I do, but Max didn't want a replay of what happened that night, plus Alan still thinks that he and Max still go out. I didn't know what to do so I told him to wait until he feels the time is right. I doubt Max can break up with Alan in his current state anyways. I just wanted to give him a break. To give us a break." The navy haired boy said quietly.

"Well that doesn't mean you shouldn't at least tell your friends. We won't think any less of you. Well maybe you for waiting for so long to ask him out." Kai said with a smirk.

Tyson smiled before hitting Kai in the arm playfully. "So does Ray know as well?"

"Of course."

"Gosh isn't there such a thing as privacy anymore?" Tyson said opening the door and walking into the kitchen. Max was currently helping Ray make breakfast by flipping the pancakes. Tyson walked over and put his cupped hand over the blonde's ear before whispering what Kai had told him. Max suddenly blushed a bright red and flipped the pancake up to the ceiling where it stuck.

"You mean?" Max stuttered looking at Tyson.

He just nodded and looked at the neko-jin who currently had his head in the refrigerator looking for milk. Once he had found it he grabbed it and walked past the two still smiling. He set the milk on the table. "Ray do you really know?" Max whispered to Ray.

"Why whatever do you mean?" Ray asked unable to keep the smile off of his face.

"Come on Ray drop the act. Kai told me everything." Tyson pleaded to the black haired boy.

Ray perked up at this and looked across the room at Kai. He nodded and Ray turned back to cooking with a sigh. "I was planning on having them wait for awhile." He said to himself.

"What was that?" Max asked from behind him.

He looked up and turned around with a smirk across his face. "I wish you guys would have told me, I would have planned a party or something. And Tyson, you're such a softy! Protecting you poor little Maxie." Ray teased the two, wrapping an arm around each one of them. Both blushed and looked away at the floor. Ray smiled before deciding he'd had his fun. "Seriously though you guys make a good couple." He said walking back to the currently burnt pancakes. "Oh and Max?"

"Yeah?" the blonde answered.

"Keep your boyfriend out of trouble. You know how worked up he can get over you." Ray said smiling.

"I will." Max answered smiling.

"I'm not a little kid anymore!" Tyson shouted at the neko-jin.

"Well about a year ago you were complaining about training and food, and now look at you. 16, finally mature, and your first boyfriend." Kai said walking into the kitchen and sitting on the counter.

"You guys are like bad parents from a 1980's movie." Tyson said pouting. "Come on Max." he said pulling the blonde out of the embarrassing conversation.

"Kai was right though. You are a lot more mature. When you want to be that is." Max said following Tyson into his room.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tyson said grabbing some clothes from his closet.

"It means you've still got that cute little playful Tyson inside of you that we all know and love." Max said poking his stomach.

Tyson laughed at this before heading into bathroom. "Remember, no kissy kissy with Alan. Your mine now k?" he said kissing him.

"I know, I wouldn't dream of it. Hurry up and take a shower." He said kissing him back. Tyson smiled at the blonde before heading into the bathroom. Max smiled as well before heading back into the kitchen. After he had finished helping Ray set the table he then retreated back to his room to get his clothes ready. As he walked into his room however he noticed another thing. Alan was awake.

"Morning baby." He said smiling at the blonde. Max ignored him and got his clothes down from his dresser. "Playing hard to get huh?" he said slipping behind the blonde.

Max quickly pushed him off of him. "I told you were not going out anymore Alan! Leave me the hell alone!" Max said trying to get passed him. Max saw that the boy clearly wouldn't move so he called in reinforcements. "Ray!" he shouted into the kitchen. The neko-jin arrived at the door a few seconds later.

"You rang?" he said from the doorway. He then saw the situation. "Did you tell him that you were broken up yet?"

"Of course! He keeps thinking I'm playing hard to get." Max said ready to hit the boy in front of him.

"Ramone is on this joke too? Wow Maxie you really go all out for me huh?" Alan said smirking. Ray sweat dropped.

"R-Ramone?" he said eye twitching. An alarm suddenly went off in the kitchen. "Crap!" the neko-jin said before disappearing leaving just two blondes.

"Come on Maxie. Give me a kiss." He said puckering his lips. Max sweat dropped and backed up against the wall. He closed his eyes as he felt lips touch his. Yet they were different. They weren't all sloppy and icky feeling. They felt normal, loving almost. He opened his eyes just as the kiss ended to see Alan wide-eyed and Tyson smirking at him. Max smiled thankful Tyson had gotten there before Alan was put into another coma by Kai. Tyson turned to Alan and gave him a cocky smile. Max jumped onto Tyson's back intending on getting a free ride out of this situation.

"This is mine." Tyson said in Japanese pointing to the blonde on his back.

Max smiled at the still awestruck boy before sticking his tongue out at him and holding onto Tyson's shoulders. "Thanks. I don't know what I would have done if he would have actually kissed me. Ewww." Max said as they walked through the living room.

"You seemed to like it before. I couldn't even look at you without having my heart torn." Tyson said walking through the screen door and setting the blonde down.

"I'm sorry." Max said looking down.

Tyson then realized how that must have felt and quickly improvised. "I-I didn't mean it like that!" he said scratching his head. "I uh just meant that you made me sick to stomach when you kissed him. Yeah that's it."

Max laughed at the boy who was currently holding his stomach and making a sick face. "Nice save. I'll be right back. I'm going to go get in the shower. Happy birthday by the way." The blonde said pecking him on the lips before leaving him with the giant view to himself. He heard the door open and close behind him and continued looking out among the happiest place on Earth.

(Tyson's POV)

I just realized; today is my birthday. It's weird though. Usually I'll be all happy and giddy and everything but too much has happened over such a short week. In one week Max had broken my heart, gave me a permanent scar, and betrayed my trust. At the same time he fixed my heart, confessed his feelings for me, climbed through an elevator shaft, punched Alan, and had kissed me. All in one week. We actually head back home tomorrow night. It's been a long summer but I can't believe fate saved the surprises for the last week. That's right you heard me. This is actually the last week of summer. After this we go back to normal lives. High school, training, and sleep all over again. Yet somehow this is going to be different. I can feel it. Whether it's bad or good I can't shake the feeling that this ending summer is the start of something new. It's almost scary. Walking into the unknown like this but, I can't stop. I've been through a lot. Now you're probably wondering why I'm speaking like this. Well I got a text message from Hilary the other day. I didn't even decide to check it until last night. I was going to meditate about said message but you know who visited me last night. The scary thing is there's a high school that's a few blocks away. Its really fancy. Karate clubs, Boxing clubs, sports, all kinds of stuff. Word has it that kids from the discipline committee in the school, which is like the kids who keep it safe and all that, have been turning up horribly beaten. It's a normal Japanese high school. One class, in which you stay in all day, even eat lunch there. The disciplinary committee is this group of all tough guys who make sure nothing goes wrong. There like the mafia of an ordinary high school. Anyways these super tough guys have been turning up beaten by kids with an all green uniform. They aren't targeting any old kids though, their going by rank. The toughest students are being targeted. Why am I telling you this? Well it's the prequel to the next story of course! Yup, were going back to school. I'm not all that excited about it but at least I'll have the whole gang with me. That should help me bear through it right? Anyways, Max is out of the shower and my team is beckoning for me to come and eat. I guess I should join them. One thing I'll never forget though is this view. I promised Max that we'll come back here though. It's a definite. Well they're begging me to come to the table now. I hope to be able to finish this conversation in the next book/ sequel thingy. Wings of a Phoenix. Owari!!!

-------------------------

Yeah I'm so evil! Anyways you heard it straight from the navy haired blader's mouth. The sequel to this story had been hounding the living hell out of me. I mean I have the first three chapters already planned and the fourth wont stay out of my head. It's really all I think about in school. Anyways I know that sequels take forever to post but I'm planning on having two chapters posted by next week. It's going to be a lot more about Kai/Ray this time. Also it's actiony and has a lot more humor. Still Tys/Max moments as always though. Other than that Plz review and tell me what you thought of the story in general. I love reviewers. There like the kittens of… idk. Thanks for reading!
