Poison Oak

Summary: Long story short, Kai was never going to put things in his mouth unsupervised ever again.

"Kai?"

Kai opened his eyes, only to stare angrily at the brunette standing in front of him. She'd, yet again, disturbed his time to himself. Hillary, when she saw Kai's stoic look, raised her hands up in defense, grinning sheepishly.

"Sorry, Kai." Hillary said, taking a step back. An angry Kai was never a good thing. "But I've got to tell you something."

Kai, who felt more annoyed than ever, closed his eyes tightly. Sometimes, that girl was more annoying that even Tyson himself. What was the last thing she needed to tell him ten minutes ago? Oh, yeah, that she'd gotten a new cell. And ten minutes before that, she'd come running to him to ask him if he liked chocolate or not. And ten minutes before that, she'd brought an over-cooked turkey for him to taste. Kai sighed, biting into the blade of grass that he'd had between his lips. He wished she'd just leave him alone, for a little while.

"Are you listening?" She asked, putting hands on her waist.

"Yes, yes, I am." Kai replied, closing his eyes.

There was silence.

"Then throw it away already!"

Kai opened one eye, peeked at Hillary, annoyed.

"You weren't listening to me!"

I wonder why….Kai thought, but said nothing. He watched as Hillary rolled her eyes, sat down beside Kai and raised a hand up to his face. He jerked away, sitting up straight in the process. She pursed her lips, and tried for his face again.
"What're you doing?" Kai slapped her hand away, making Hillary narrow her eyes at him.

"Don't flatter yourself," She rolled her eyes again. "You're not THAT charming."

Then stop trying to touch me! Kai wanted to say, but he sighed instead, lay back down, closed his eyes and re-adjusted the blade of grass between his lips.

"Go away, Hils."

He distinctly heard Hillary chuckle a little, muttering an "Okay" and walk away.

The Next Morning:

Hillary, Ray and Tyson and Max sat around the coffee table, in the kitchen, having breakfast when the door opened and Kai entered, scratching his bottom lip. Apparently, he'd just gotten up. With his eyes were half-open, he groggily opened the refrigerator door, took out a carton of milk and put it on the table. He scratched the side of his lips again.

"Um…Kai."

Tyson's voice made Kai look up, and he saw everyone gawking at him, each of their mouths wide open –save Hillary, who was slightly amused more than shocked. Right there, on Kai's face were spots of red and purple all over. His lips were swollen to an abnormally large size and around them there were red scratch marks, all the way to his cheeks. Purple little blotches marred his skin

"What the…"

"Have you seen the mirror today, Kai?" Hillary smiled, cutting Tyson off. Kai scratched his lips again, before rolling his eyes at her.

"Why?" He spoke, flinching inwardly at the slight stinging around his lips, "Am I looking more 'charming' than usual today?"

No-one said anything or moved their eyes from Kai's face, as Hillary went over to him turned him around and pointed at the closed refrigerator door.

"Very charming." Hillary popped her lips at the face Kai made when he saw his reflection on the door. His eyes widened. "What's your secret? Poison Oak?"

"Poison Oak?!" Kai's yell got muffled by his own moan, as the area around his lips throbbed when he spoke.

"The stuff you were chewing on yesterday." Hillary stated, matter-of-factly. "The blade of grass. Remember?"

Kai tried to speak, but it throbbed and instantly, he closed his mouth. Hillary smiled smugly and Kai crossed his arms.

"I tried to tell you…"

Authors note:

This was weeeiirrrd. Found it lying around. Thought I'd put it up, anyways. Two down, four to go :P

Does anyone have any suggestions? I mean, I have Kenny and his laptop. Max and his mustard. I can't figure out Hillary and Tyson though. Nothing comes to mind except food with Tyson. Which is just lame, I mean, whatcha gon' do with food that hasn't been done already, right?

Aside from that. Finals starting from mid-May. Taking it up to mid-June. Then summer. Then Uni. Theeeennnn, no idea. lol.

Review and lemme know how this was. Signing off.
