Chapter 11: Big in Japan

The sun was high in the sky and its rays bore down on a group of teenagers, Kai and the others walked hastily through the empty street. The duo locked boy lead the team with Ray and Tala covering the sides, the girls waked in the middle protected by the boys. Each of them carried a rucksack full of cloths and other belongings.

Sally sighed to herself, this had taken ages however Jade's plan to divert Boris and the others seemed to be working, the group had taken two plans to get here but were booked on others. Sally had lost track of how many paper trails had been made, she also wondered just how much money Kai and the others had and how they were getting it. Jades boyfriend had also been busy, Tala was constantly on his white apple laptop trying to uncover Biovalt's plans but unlike his girlfriend he wasn't very successful.

Tala and jade currently walked hand in hand, swinging the others arm lightly, Sally shot a glare at the two, she liked the two well enough but all this lovey dovley stuff was to much the girl wasn't used to such blatant affection. The girl pouted slightly quickening her pace coming up to walk beside Kai. The boy gave her a fleeting smile before pulling ahead "keep behind me its safe there" he said firmly. Sally blinked then glared after the boy and without a word she strode up beside him and kept in step with him. "I'm staying right here" she said, still glaring. Kai held her gaze for a while then rolled his eyes "suit yourself" he said, hiding a small smirk.

Kayla walked side by side with Ray watching the two and whispering quietly to the neko-gin "so any plans on getting those two together" the raven haired boy said so gently on one but her could hear. Kayla smiled up at him sneakily "yeah I have, I think that we've been aiming at the wrong person. Rather than going for Mr. Sour puss I think we should focus on Sally instead" the girl said. Ray blinked his golden eyes at the blunett "do you really think she'll be any easier to break /" he asked. Kayla shrugged "maybe, maybe not but at least she won't blackmail me" she replied and the neko-gin smirked "I'm sure whatever Kai has on you isn't that bad" he said. The girl gave him a narrowed eyed look "clearly you don't know Kai..." she grumbled, her brothers lack of corporation was extremely annoying.

The group continued the walk in silence and slowly their destination came into view. A large wooden building came into view, a dojo. Two people stood outside waiting for the group. One boy was tall and slim with a mess of blonde hair, blue eyes and a face full of freckles, he wore a bright green t-shirt and orange dungarees the together also a boy had longish navy blue hair and stormy grey eyes, he was on the cubby side of things, the boy wore blue and red baseball cap, red jacket, yellow t-shirt and blue shorts both boys smiled and waved at them and ran forward to great the group.

Sally gave a small yelp when she saw this and hid behind Kai, people she didn't know made her nervous partially when they were this loud."Hey Kai, Ray, Tala....what's who are all the girls" that blond boy asked smiling broadly. Kai glared at the boy, keeping Sally well hidden "max please calm down" he sighed as the boy raced around the group shaking jade and Kayla by the hand. The other boy however stood still staring intently at Kai "Kai" he grunted "Tyson" Kai replied his glare hardening. Sally blinked at one then the other, she sensed a strong rivalry.

Tyson turned his attention to the others in particular the duo locked girl behind Kai, the one with the blue eyes. The boy noted that sally had a tight grip on Kai's trade mark white scarf, he also noticed that she looked uneasy, the boy wondered why Kai hadn't pushed her back yet and the girl edged closer into Kai's body. Tyson smile smugly and leant right in, so he was just inches from the girl's face. "So who's this then, your girlfriend. She's kind off on the scrawny side it's like she's some sorta scruffy ally kid" he said grinning.

Sally blinked at the boy, Tyson he was too close to her and he was being a dick, and he didn't stop there he leaned even further in and opened his mouth to make further insults. However he didn't get any chance as sally step out from behind her friend and attacked "get outta my face you fat barstard" she yelled going straight for this throat, chocking the boy. "Nobody talks to me like that nobody gotit asshole?" she growled.

Kai smirked as Sally continued to strangle Tyson, he had considered steadying in to her rescue but decided it would be more fun to watch sally lose it with his rival. The boy cleared his throat as Tyson turned blue and he steadied forward, wrapping on arm around the girls waist and placing the other hand on Tyson's chest pulling the two apart. The navy haired boy gasped loudly and glared at the girl, "you stupid bitch what was that for" he snarled. This time Kai intervened before Sally could even respond he punched Tyson straight in the jaw, knocking the boy to the ground. "You will not talk to my friend in that manner, you will show her respect...." he said his tone aggressive. Tyson stared up at the boy rubbing his chin.

At that moment Ray got in between the two "that's enough from you both, Tyson don't pick on Sally and you two don't react, just ignore him" he growled, his black locks on end. Max came to his side "ray is right we're in this together" he said nervously looking at the group. Tyson climbed to his feet still glaring "for now" he muttered heading inside and getting his stuff, max followed suit while Kai and the others waited outside.

"I thought we were staying here" Kayla mumbled to Sally. "Me too....guess the boys decided otherwise, wonder where we're gonna go" she mumble glaring at the floor. The blunett smiled at the other girl "not sure, Kai has his own place here somewhere maybe there" she said. Sally blinked "just how much money do you two have?" she asked in wonder. "well quite a bit, our mum left her fortune to us Kai got his half once he turned 17, so he really wanted me to move in with him but grandpa's is still my legal guardian, I stayed at his but Kai got me out of the Abby by paying Voltaire off , He had no clue about the money but settled with some of it easily, Kai was planning on coming for me when he was 18 a couple of months back but shortly after...well all this began, I have some money to but I can't have it yet" she explained slightly annoyed, Kai was the oldest and tended do get things first.

Kayla wondered if she should ask Sally about her life in the Abby but decided not to because of the red heads mood swings and the fact it was Kai's job anyway. So the girl decide to press a different matter "Kai is very grateful you know, his becoming very fond of you. I've never seen him give someone so much attention...., you should ask him out" Kayla said slyly.

Sally went wide eyes and blushed "Wha ?..... don be silly Kayla !, I... he...I...his just being friendly" she rambled. Kayla frowned back "Kai friendly, are you serious ?...besides you like him don't you ?" she said. Sally blushed more and turned away "of course not" she muttered, lying compleatly. The girl turned over to the rest of the group part of her wanting to go to Kai but knowing that, that would only further her embarrassment. Kayla smirked at her, did she know her feelings for her brother?, how she desperately wanted to stay by her side? and was she right did Kai "like her" could he really feel that way about someone like her. Sally stared at her feet and heard Kayla move beside her "just think about what I said, his my brother and I know him and his feelings just like I know yours" the girl said before walking off. Sally sighed and picked up her bag, the others were all preparing to leave once more. Sally had no idea how she could ever tell Kai that she liked him, all of this was extremely confusing, with a mind full of heavy thoughts sally followed the others to who knows where.
