On with the story! (Love to scream that!)

(FLASHBACK)

It was a quite nice day with the sun and the wind mixed together. Further down the street you could hear children play and yell. A bird was content singing in a nearby tree. But none of the noises or weather disturbed the relaxed person who was sitting with crossed legs on the deck of Tyson Granger´s house. The ravens bangs framed the closed eyes and his calm breather went in and out slowly. With his experience of meditating he could block out most things, but then again and he was used to not getting disturbed while he was in this state so his concentration had never really got a challenge. That is, until he got together with Kai Hiwatari.

A soft kiss was placed right behind his left ear and continued down his neck. He tried to ignore it at first but the persistent lips kept working on his soft spot in his neck, forcing him to frown with a smile.

"How many times have I told you not to disturb my meditation?"

The darker voice snickered a little. "As many times that I have ignored you." Kai overlooked the half heartily protest and pulled the raven into his lap and leaned on one of the wooden pillar. "That you even can meditate in the house of Granger is a wonder anyways."

"Is it too much to ask that you spend some time with Tyson and give me a little alone time to focus once in a while?"

They both sat in silence of the question before Ray laughed and Kai replied; "It is too much to ask that I spend time with Tyson."

"Alright, alright I shouldn't have asked." Ray admitted and dropped the subject. He smiled as he was hugged tighter against the half Russians chest. "What´s with you today? Such a cuddle character, you chock me Hiwatari."

"There is something I need to talk to you about."

Ray felt himself go tense; of course it was a reason behind the behavior. Kai was not like this unless they were behind closed doors. "Ok, man. You are quite scary now. And not in the sexy way you know I like. What is it?"

Kai smiled by the comment. "Take it easy Kon, I´m not tired of you. No, I was thinking about going back to school."

"Where you went last year?"

"Yeah, it feel such a waste of time if I don´t not finish it, you know." The captain waited for a moment before he got a quiet replay.

"I guess that sound logic." He felt relieved for the answer and let himself relaxed. Ray turned his head to look at him. "I´m going to miss you."

Kai looked at him for three dangerous seconds, before Ray did a very similar imitation of his voice. "Yes Ray, I'm going to…"

"Yes Ray, I´m going to MISS YOU TOO, yeah that´s the line I was suppose to use." Kai laughed as he was pushed down on the floor by the tiger.

"You cold jackass! No emotion at all," he fake- argued. "You are hopeless, I swear…" He was going to say something else, but kept it in.

"What, Kon?"

"The only time you show emotion is when something is shoved up your ass!"

Kai eyes widened. "You! ...It only happened ONE time, and that was not with my consent. You raped me!"

Ray snickered. "It was just some rough love, darling."

"It was not, I know the rules and I said no."

"Well, maybe at first you did, but then I recall some… more, more Ray,more!"

Kai growled and flipped them over and put his hand over the others laughing face. "Come here you little…"

He managed to get some eye contact after a while. "You bad cat, I would never have thought you had such language, partner. I will cause you trouble some day."

Ray glared at him. "Did you just call me a cat?"

"It is really disturbing to watch this." Said a voice behind them, causing both of them to turn around. Tyson was watching them, while leaning on the door frame.

"Well I don´t recall asking you to." Kai said without shame making Ray shove him.

"Hey Ty, Kai is going away for a while. Is it ok if I crash at you place some more?"

"Of course buddy. I guess it was only a time question before Kai would leave you." He grinned.

"Tyson, I think the Tv and fat- products is calling for you." The captain answered. The world Champion glared back at the comment, but didn´t have time to answer before the phone rang. "Ooh, that is surely Max!" he said and ran inside, the little argument already forgotten.

Ray shook his head at his teammate simple behavior. He then turned to his partner. "Anyway, When do you leave?"

"In the end of the week. But hey." He said and took Ray´s chin in his hand. "It won´t take long time before we see eachother again, trust me." he murmured and smiled to get Ray to do the same. It worked after a while. Kai leaned forward and pressed his lips against Ray´s and pulled away again. "Trust me tiger; this will not even be a challenge for us."

(END OF FLASHBACK)

"No of course not. Why would it be a challenge for us? We are inseparable Kai, aren´t we?" Ray slammed his fist against the hospital wall. The cold air was exactly what he needed at the moment on the hospital balcony. He went over to one of the benches and sat down.

"Think now Ray. Think. You knew this would happen, you meditated about it." He put his hands on his temples trying to think clear. He needed some tactic, like it was a beybattle.

"Kai has woken up and already talked to Wyatt. You know from the last argument from the student what he will try to do. He will not give up." He said to himself. And his own last conversation with Kai was less than bad. To get the strength to continue he would have to get back to his own calmed self. He refused to stay like an irritated and nervous wreck; he would lose Kai if he did. And to get back to his own self, he would have to start solve everything he had done wrong since he arrived at that school. Where would he start?

The idea came to him quite quickly and he left the balcony.

"Ray, where have you been?" Wyatt said as he was heading to the elevator. The student fallowed him even though it was clear the raven didn´t want to talk. "Not that I was worried, don´t get the wrong idea. But Kai is asking for you so you better turn around."

"No."

Wyatt gasped. "No? What are you talking about?"

"I have other things to do. Stay out of it." It was a good thing that Ray was calm at the moment because it would have caused problems otherwise now when the boy grabbed his arm before he could push the elevator button. "Now you listen to me for a moment. Kai needs you. He wants' to talk to you now. "

"Well I guess you´ve already told him everything about me, so why should I bother?"

"Hey, is that what this is all about? That I got to see him first. You maybe is scared that I´m winning him over. Are you giving up Ray? You seemed so sure about your relationship yesterday when you held your dear speech…"

"First of all," Ray snapped. "Kai is no prize. And second, I don´t need to explain anything to you. Don´t think I buy your little caring facade here Wyatt. I know you are scared that Kai will blame you if I don´t visit him. He asked you to get me right?" He didn´t need to say more and took the stairs down since the elevator was to slow for his liking.

Wyatt just did what he felt he had to do. Tell Kai.

The golden eyes scanned the school area for the person he wanted to talk to. He didn´t dare to walk inside and look, since he wasn´t a student anymore. Decided on the quickest way, he stopped a student who passed him. "Hey you are Seth´s friend right? Would you mind telling him that Ray is waiting for him outside?"

"Sure."

"Wyatt, you still here?" Kai asked as he tried to sit up in his bed. He felt sore all over and didn´t know if he was hungry or if he felt nauseous.

"Um yeah. Do you need any help with that?" The boy asked and pointed at a remote. Kai looked at it and shook his head. "It´s alright." He suddenly got images in his head, were Wyatt pushed the wrong button or something. That would really hurt him.

"Have Ray been here yet?" he asked. It was strange that he and his partner hadn´t had the time to talk yet. He longed for that conversation.

"First of all Kai. I need you to trust me on this. I am not lying." Wyatt started with and flinched almost when Kai´s eyes turned dark. "What is it, tell me know."

"I´m sorry. I told him what you said but… he said he didn´t want to talk to you."

Kai looked at him with an expression mixed between anger and confusion. "What?" the last memories he had of the tiger was that he was pulling in him while screaming that he would leave Seth alone. Was he angry at him?

"What do you mean?" he said at last.

"I´m sorry Kai."

"No. I need to know. What did he say?"

"I told him to come over here and see you but he wouldn´t. "

A feeling of irritation got to him. He guessed that Ray didn´t want to be in the same room as Wyatt. Even now the raven didn´t want to bend his rules. Wasn´t this special situation to try and get along with Wyatt for his sake. C´mon he had just woken up from his deathbed after all!

"Go and get him. Tell him I need to talk with him alone. And also tell him to stop sulking."

"You know I would Kai. But after he told me to stay out of his business, he left the hospital."

Kai felt all his irritation vanish and he started to panic. "He left? What do you mean, where? Why would he leave? No!"

Wyatt gasped as the captain started to yank of his bed cover and pull at his cords. "Kai for god's sake, what are you doing!"

"Don´t you see, Ray left. What if he don´t come back? He could be going home right now, I have to find him!" The student threw himself at his crush, careful not to tip them over. "Stop this madness! You are in no condition to go anywhere, I think it´s illegal. Kai stop pulling at those, lie down, now!"

"Let go of me, I need to find Ray!" Kai growled.

"Kai! If you trust him and if you two really has something going on, then he won´t leave you like this!" Wyatt tried.

"You don´t understand. We left off in a really bad situation. I need to talk to him and sort things out!"

"Lie down now, or I will call the nurse!" he screamed as he stopped Kai from pulling out the needle from his hand. "Stop it!"

"It was much appreciated that you agreed to meet me." Ray said. He was leaning on his elbows on the railing to the school yard.

"I guess I owe you that at least after all this drama." Seth said with a shrug as he leaned his back against the railing. "How is Kai doing?"

"He is stable. Knowing him, he will probably be back in school soon I guess."

Seth looked at him with suspicion. "And you won´t be?"

Ray didn´t answer at first. Those thought were still to new in his head to say out loud. The wind swept by and pulled slightly in their clothes before he murmured. "We´ll see."

"So…" Seth said as the conversation obviously made the raven uncomfortable. "I don´t want to say this Ray, but I have class in ten minutes, what did you want to talk about?"

"I wanted to apologies for my behavior."

"… What?"

Ray closed his eyes for a moment; this was harder than he thought it would be. Maybe because Seth was a better listener than he had thought. "The way I was acting towards you…" he started. "It´s not who I am. I been under so intense emotion pressure lately and I let some of it affect you. I am sorry."

"I must say Ray, you really surprise me."

Ray looked up to him with a questioning expression.

"I see something different about you now. When I look at you know, I can believe you weren't yourself before. But I guess Wyatt really pushed you buttons right?"

"You got that right… But I'm mostly angry at myself. I have the best self-control on my team, I can´t understand how it turned out this way. I just so disappointed in myself."

Seth smiled a little and thought for a moment, before he put an arm around Ray's shoulders, "Okay Ray, we can start over. I'm not proud how I came on to you either so we can forget about it if you like. I still think you are a great person and I would still love if you would teach me some of your kung fu moves!"

Ray laughed and nodded. "Fine I can do that. That is very nice of you to give me a second chance. "

"Like I said; I like you. You got some attitude and you have some… um… interesting sex life but…ow!" he jumped aside after the elbow in his side.

"Don´t talk about that ever again. " Ray said as his cheeks were getting an interesting shade of red. "I mean it…"

"Wow, are you blushing, for real?" the blonde continued. "How is that possible, when you and Kai do all that stuff…"

"Shut it, I'm not blushing, and you were not supposed to know all that. I don´t know what I was thinking."

He hid his face in his arms so Seth had to get closer to hear what he said." When I think back on it, I barely remember half of what I said. But I remember what I said to you."

"Are you still apologizing?"

"Yes! I need too; I said so much stupid things." He looked up at the other. "I was wrong Seth; you will make some guy very happy someday."

Seth smiled and stretched a little. "Actually. I´m dating someone."

"You do?"

"Yes, Trisha from my history class."

"That's great, but I thought you were…and don´t say you saw me as a girl, because I will kick your ass."

"No no, I didn't. I guess I like both…and Trisha likes holding hands and walking on the beach by the way."

His smirk made Ray think back for a moment and yet again, he recalled his crazy speech. "Don´t please, you have kicked me enough." He groaned.

"Ok, ok! I will stop. In fact, to make you feel better, I will tell you about one of my… intimate hobbies."

The blonde looked around almost nervously then leaned over and whispered in Ray´s ear. The raven listen carefully and then dropped his jaw with widened eyes. He pulled away and looked at Seth. "Really! You do that?"

Seth nodded with a grin.

"Aw man, you are sick!" Ray laughed and at the blonde who threw out his hands. "C´mon Ray, you must have tried it!"

"No I haven´t!" he said and shook his head with a grin. "But hey, if it works for ya…it works for ya."

Seth decided to let it slide. They were even now. "Yeah, I guess we are passed that now. So anyway, I have to go now. But I see you later!"

"Yeah, see ya!" Ray waived him off and grinned at the new information one last time, before he walked back towards the hospital.

When Ray got out of the elevator he was met by a roar of angry and worried voices. His first thought was the someone was robbing the place so he pushed himself against the wall for a moment. It didn´t take more than a couple of second though, before he recognized his lovers distressed tone.

"I said, if you don´t let me leave, I will not sue but to kick you ass- Let me go!"

"Please Mr. Hiwatari." Said a woman´s voice. Together with a manly doctor.

"Kai, stop it!" was yelled by Wyatt.

Ray quickly rounded the corner to witness the scene before him. He almost didn´t believe it.

Kai was wearing his hospital robe but with his school jacket on top of it. With pale skin, no shoes, and messed up hair. (more than usual) he was being restrained by three people in the hallway. It was amazing that the captain even had gotten out of his room. But then again he was Kai Hiwatari. He and Tyson Granger shared the title of most stubborn people on the planet.

"Kai!" Ray heard himself scream and lunged forward.

All of their eyes fell upon him but Kai´s was most shocked. While gasping his name he managed to pull away from the arms that held him and took three shaken steps towards him before he collapsed in Ray´s arms. Ray wasn´t prepared for the dead weight and slide down the floor as carefully he could. "What the hell are you doing!" he hissed in concern when Kai pulled in his shoulders.

"A-are you l-leaving me?" Kai asked with shaken voice.

"What are you talking about! What were you trying to do! We just got you back, what were you thinking…"

"Ray…" the half Russian interrupted. "Were you not going to visit me?"

Their eyes met and it was like they were sharing thoughts. Ray felt anger hit him like a hurricane. "Of course I would." He turned to Wyatt. "What the hell did you say now!" he screamed.

The boy winced. "How would I know where you went!"

"Ray," Kai said again and got his intention. He was afraid to look into his eyes, because Kai could always read him like an open book. "Something is wrong." He said with softer voice. "Tell me what is wrong!" he demanded.

Ray didn´t know what to say. And he knew that showed. "Nothing´s wrong, Kai."

"You are hiding something from me, tell me, I can see it you…e…eye…s" Ray gasped when Kai got heavier in his arms and before he knew it, Kai´s eyes rolled back and he went unconscious. "KAI!"
