Brt: Thanks for reading and reviewing, here's the update!

Four Chapter:

Taxi Ride and Room Arrangements!


Ray cursed his bad luck for the tenth time that day, and to think that his day had started good. He had woken up early, made breakfast and was able to talk with Max. It all went down-hill when he saw the letter lying on the table, and Max reading it. Also, Alan making his move on his blond! And to add more, Alan was right now riding in the taxi with Max, Tyson was with them. And to top it all, he was stuck riding with none other then Kai Hiwatari, Emily was with them.

"I wonder what Max and Alan are talking about right now." Kai said from his seat in the front. Ray said nothing, only glared at him, "What do you think Ray?"

"I don't care…." He said, and turned to stare out the window, he couldn't understand why Tyson would want Kai as a friend. Maybe he saw something that we didn't, something deep within Kai?

"What do you think Emily?" Kai asked the girl, totally intending to make the drive for Ray a living nightmare; after all, he was bored. Ray glared at him.

Yep, Tyson had to dig very deep to find something. The neko thought, trying his hardest to maintain calm. Not really working might I add.

"Hmm, Max is probably asking him about Judy's work." She said, "you guys are lucky to be able to go to Zeo's concert, I wanted to go, but couldn't get a ticket in time."

"You want mine?" Ray asked.

"Really!" she exclaimed, "but what about you? You don't want to come?"

"Um, well, you see I don't really like that kind of music." He lied.

"Oh, in that case, thanks!" Ray handed her his ticket.

"Nice one, Kon." Kai said.

"Shut up Kai, or else."

"Or else what?"

"I'll tell Tyson!" Ray smirked, Kai stiffen in his seat. On the outside he looked calm and indifferent, but in the inside he was panicking.

What if Ray really tells Tyson? He thought, but of course, normal people would have responded with 'then I'll tell Max if you do.' But Kai wasn't a 'normal' person, nor had he thought of that, nope not at all. Suddenly, Kai grinned, and gave Ray over the mirror a look of –I know something that you don't- Ray stared at his captain. Kai was so hoping for the neko to fall for his trap, yep Kai was so bluffing. Anyone would've been able to see that coming a mile away, but not Ray.

"…bastard." Was the only thing Ray said, before slumping deeper in his seat. Kai sighed in relief.

That was too close for comfort, he thought, note to self: get blackmail material for future reference. Emily blinked, totally missing the whole 'conversation'. The taxi finally stopped and they got out, in front of them. Tyson, Max, and Alan were waiting for them.

"Hey guys," Tyson greeted, "how was your ride?" Kai stepped besides his friend, and smile at Tyson, making say teen blushed, and smile back.

"It was interesting." Kai told him, Ray walked through them, and he turned to stare at Tyson.

"You had to dig very deep, didn't you?" he turned and entered the hotel, Tyson turned to stare at Kai.

"What was that about?" he asked his captain.

"I don't know…" he shrugged, and they entered the hotel.

"So, what are you guys doing tomorrow?" Emily asked them.

"Kai, Ray, and I are going to Zeo's performance." Tyson answer, "Alan and Max are going to see Max's mom."

"Actually," Ray interrupted him, "I'm not going either, I gave my ticket to Emily. Meaning that I'll go with Max," he informed them. "That is, if Max is ok with it." The blond smiled and hugged the Chinese blader.

"Of course, isn't great Alan?" he asked the brunette, say teen faked a smile.

"Of course, more is always better." He said, glaring at Ray, whom only smiled.

"Here are your keys." The woman behind the desk told them, and handed them their room keys to Emily.

"Judy made sure to put you with the person she thought you would get better with." Emily said, "Tyson, you're with Max, and Ray and Kai are sharing. Is that ok?" Ray cursed his luck. He then grabbed Tyson and dragged him away from the others.

"Is there something wrong Ray?" the blue-haired teen asked.

"Yes and no… I was wondering if you could switch keys with me."

"Why?" he asked, blushing at the thought of being in the same room as Kai. The neko sighed, how was he supposed to explain it to Tyson without saying that he liked Max? He couldn't trust Tyson to keep quiet about it.

Then why the hell did I told Kai? He mentally asked himself. "Um, well, what if Kai disappears again as he always does?" Ray was hoping that Tyson would care enough for Kai to fall for it, without asking questions. Without saying anything, Tyson grabbed the keys from Ray and waked towards Kai. He grabbed his bag and gave Kai his, then he grabbed Kai by the arm and proceeded to drag him towards the elevator. Kai merely blinked.

"Is there something wrong with Tyson?" Max asked Ray.

"Nope, we just talked, we should go unpack for tomorrow." He said, and took Max's hand in his, "see you tomorrow, Alan!" he waved at the glaring brunette as the metal doors closed.

"Just you wait until tomorrow, Ray." Alan said and walked towards the doors. Emily blinked again missing the 'conversation'; she shook her head and sighed.

"Boys today." She said, following Alan out of the hotel, thinking that tomorrow it was going to be fun at the concert, totally forgetting who she was going with.


Brt: Yey, I'm done! So sorry for taking so long, I don't have a real excuse only that Red dared me to watch some of the animes she has, and to tell her if I could 'slash' some of the characters! XP, I have the weird habit of pairing the characters of any new anime, even the characters that are some what involved with a female! Two of the animes and pairings are: BECK; Ryuusuke /Koyuki and Pita Ten; Ten-chan/Kotaro. ;D I love them! See you next time! ;)
