Kai
sat at the window in his room watching Takao sleep. He wondered if Takao would
ever be himself again. Even if he didn’t want to admit it he longed for the
real Takao too return. He started to miss small things. Like his loud yelling
when he and Max messed around. He shifted in his seat when he remembered how
jealous he felt when Max was near his Takao… His? No he didn’t just think
that.

But
he had often thought that… and much more. He thought back to when he first met
Takao. He slapped Carlos and turned to leave when he heard Takao yell at him.
No one had ever talked to him in that way. So he beat him and thought that he
would never see that little shrimp again. How wrong he had Later he turned up
again and demanded a rematch. And what a match. It
took him by surprise… like a storm… He felt and saw the power Takao possessed.
And Kai felt himself drawn towards Takao.

He
shrugged it of first as a competition… that he just wanted too be best. He wanted to bet him it must just be that. But the
more he saw of Takao the more he doubted. When he beat his
sharks. How he were nice to Carlos thus his wrongs.
And when he beat Rei… waow… the wind… the storm… Takao’s power… And when they fought in the grand finale. When Takao got in
that big hit and Kai felt himself flew back and hit the fence… he could just
sit there… exhausted of the emotions he had suppressed whirled through
him. And then he smiled… well smirked
but that made Takao smile back at him.

He
felt a little terrible that he couldn’t be nice too him
but he needed the space… and he just couldn’t figure out how he should behave. And what if Takao didn’t feel the same. He then beat Takao.
First he thought it was because he wanted to be best… but no… he wanted to show
off… for Takao. Let him see his powers to. Be drawn just like he was to his
storm. He then couldn’t take his eyes of Takao when he where there on all four
and gave Kai a perfect view off his arse… HENTAI… god he thought things that
would make a sailor blush. Kai felt his pants shrink… well it felt like that…
in places.

And
when Takao beat him again… even if it was just balance… he was sure it was not
competition… it was… l… l… love. A new feeling for him.
First he wanted to run, but when Takao looked at him with his big blue eyes he
couldn’t. Damn. He tried to deny it and behave like an arse, but Takao never
let that get to him. After the matches against the Dark Blader’s just in the
matches with the Majestic’s… he felt panic.

He
was on the rand to beg Takao to be with him, to be his. He needed space… quick.
When they got to Russia
and he stepped into the Abbey he soon forgot about the present and focused on
the past… longer back… before The Majestic’s, Dark Blader’s, All Starz, White Tigers even… Blade Breaker’s.
He then joined the Demolition Boys.

In
that time he didn’t think. When he took the Bit Beast’s he didn’t care. But when
Takao showed up and when he cried… Kai started to think. And when they all
fought on the ice where he lost and almost drowned. He started to . He. He felt
sorrow for turning his back to Mr. Dickinson… his team… his Takao. He felt like
he wanted to cry.

How could
he bee so blind. And when he stood there and decided to just sink with the ice
and drown, something miracles happened. Takao held out his hand to him. Kai
couldn’t believe it… Takao forgave him. And finally he grabbed his hand… and it
felt like a jolt of lightning rushed through his hand, up his arm and into his
heart… he had done right

-“Kai!”

Kai woke up
from his thoughts and looked to where the sounde fre from. He saw Takao sit up.

-“What is it Takao?” He asked softly

Takao
looked up at Kai a little nervous.

   &nbsbsp;bsp;      

-“scared…” he mumbled

-“What did you say Takao?”

Kai sat
down by Takao who rubbed his eyes. He had cried Kai realised.

-“I’m scared.”mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>

-”The
lightning.”

-“What? Oh Hi Kai. Oh I’m just playing tag with Max.”

-“So you call that tag. I
don’t remember kissing was a part of tag Rei.”

-”Ha ha… It’s just a way of
giving him the much needed affection.”

-“Affection? Rei what are you talking about?”

-“Well it’s the boy’s way
of handling kissing. In Takao’s age kissing is the best way
of showing the kids that you love them. And they much feel loved. But in
Max’s age they don’t want too admit it. Let me show you.”

Rei
leapt at the giggling Max who when Kai thought about what Rei had said,
realised that Max only half-heartedly tried to get away and only pretended to
be discussed when Rei kissed him on the cheeks. Kai smiled and saw Takao ho had
stood there a while look a little Longley at Max and Rei.

     &;&nb;  &nbnbspnbsp; 

Kai
realised that look Takao gave him before were disappointment. He realised that
Takao had showed him affection but Kai hadn’t given him anything back. He
sighed over his stupidity and picked up Takao who gave him a surprised look. Kai
gave him a smile and kissed him on the mouth. Takao’s eyes grew and then his
face spit up in a vide smile.

Takao
wrapped his small arms around Kai’s neck and gave him several wet kisses all
over the face. Kai smiled and gave him several back. Then suddenly a blue aura
surrounded Takao who grew in Kai’s arms. Both Rei and Kai gave the now nine
year old Takao shocked looks. Max just giggled and Takao wiggled around till
Kai let him down and Max and he ran to the TV and sat down to watch.

-“How did that
happen?” Rei gave Kai a questioned look

-“I think I have a theory,
but I have too ask Mr. Szalinski first.”

They
had had a fierce pillow-war with Kai and Rei. Too late Rei had discovered that
Max had found where Rei had hid all sugar-relied groceries (which Rei had
hidden for all there peace from Max’s sugar high’s).

And
unfortunately for them, both Max and Takao had eaten at least 3 chocolate bars,
5 candy canes and drunken at least 2 galleons of coke… each. They had a sugar
top which scared the two older ones and made them hide for cover behind the
couch until the sugar top wore off and the two minors fell asleep.

-“Oh god. Finally. I thought they were
too go on forever.” Rei closed his eyes.

-“Remind me of never
letting them eat candy again… ever.”

-“Oh you can be sure about
that Kai.”

Then the
telephone went off. Kai gave a little growl and got up to answer.

-“Hiwatari”

-“Oh Hi is it you Kai? It’s
MR. Szalinski.”

-”Hi MR.Szalinski.
What’s up?”

-“Ho is the boy’s doing.
Have they evolved yet?”

-“Yeah, Max evolved last
night, but Takao didn’t evolve until today.”

-“Hum
interesting. But as I said
they maybe won’t evolve the same.”

-“Yeah… I was having a
little theory… can the whole thing be affected by… emotions?”


o:p>

-“How do you
mean, Kai?”

-“Well they made a little…
mess yesterday and well we yelled at them but Rei forgave Max and I… hade a
little trouble with it. But today when I played with him and… k… hugged him he
evolved.”

-“Hmm… it is possible that
emotions can have an effect. I will look it up, but it’s maybe best too keep
them happy… without spoiling off course, but neither way we shouldn’t take
chances. But I have too go now. Call you soon again.
Say hello to the others.”

-“Ok… bye.”

Kai put the
phone down and looked at Rei.

-“So who was it? Was it Mr.
Szalinki?”

-“Yeah. He said hello by the way.”

-“'>-“So did your theory make
sense?”

-“He weren’t shore but
promised too look it up. He advised us too hold them happy just in case.”

Kai
smiled in his head. This would be a perfect opportunity too be close and dear
too Takao without anyone think he was insane. Rei snickered at the captain’s
stupid looking face. He surly knew that Kai felt something more too o tho then
he would admit.

This
was too be interesting. They had just rested an half
an hour when the two boys woke up again. Rei went to the kitchen to prepare
lunch. Normally he and Kai switched on that (not wanting Max or Takao near the stow if the food were to be eatable) but Kai wouldn’t
know what toddlers ate so it was up too Rei.

After the
meal Rei found some boarding games for them too play. Kai and Takao sat side by
side and they were playing Pictionary against Max and
Rei’s team: cats. Takao and Kai’s team were simply called blue.

-“What do you think were so
important too Chief that he let us alone with these
two alone.” Rei asked

-“Well of course it’s
probably Hillary who is the reason for that. What day a think?” Kai gave him a
wink.

-“Ha ha ha…
yeah… I can’t believe he think we are that dense that we don’t see that they’re
together.”

-“Guess what they’re doing
right now.” Kai and Rei started laughing.

-“Are they kissing.” Takao turned his
big innocent eyes towards Kai.

-“Ehh… yeah you can say it
like that.” Kai looked at him

-“Well a new
game?” Rei asked to leave the subject.

-“Are they shagging?” Max asked.
