Tyson stared at the shiny, metallic surface of the handcuffs in silence. Suddenly he realised something and
dropped them on the floor like they were contaminated or something.

\"I hope I didn\'t smudge the prints with my own ones!\" he gasped, looking at Kenny pleadingly. The
brunette pulled out his sleeve, covering his fingers with it and bent over to pick them up. Everyone stared at
the Chief in stunned silence as he observed the artefact carefully. Finally he glanced at his teammates and
started sweatdropping heavily.

\"Aaah, what do you want? I need to run this through Dizzy, it\'ll take a while!\" Then he turned around and
walked in his room, the others following him. Kenny turned on his laptop and in a few minutes he was
greeted by his Bit Beast.

\"What do you want? I was in the middle of my beauty sleep!\" came the slightly annoyed, feminine voice.
Kenny started hooking up some wires from the PC to the little scanning device he had taken with him to
study the soil on the mountains.

\"I\'m sorry Dizzy, but I need your help. We have to find out whose fingerprints, besides Tyson\'s, are on
these.\" He lifted the scanning device to hover above the cuffs, the red light sweeping over them, registering
all traces.

\"Woo-hoo, Tyson! Who would\'ve thought you\'re such a kinky little tart?!\" Dizzy teased, feeling glad
already she had been woken up.

\"SHUT UP!!!\" Kenny and Tyson yelled with red faces.

\"I woke up in those, it wasn\'t like I filled out a volunteer form or anything!\" the dragon defended himself,
his face glowing like the sun.

\"But it wasn\'t like you minded it either, right?\" the Bit Beast sing-sang.

\"WHAT!?!?\"

\"Well, I\'ve got some behaviour patterns of abused teenagers in here and you sure don\'t act like–\"

\"I\'VE GOT SOME BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS OF BROKEN COMPUTERS!! WANNA SEE!?!?\"
Tyson screamed, jumping in the air. He looked at the others\' slightly intimidated faces, turning away from
them to the wall. His chest was heaving rapidly. \'I have never been so humiliated in my life! I can\'t let
the others know I liked it! What would they think of me?\' An uncomfortable silence settled upon them
once again, and Dizzy decided the mood needed to be cheered up a bit while waiting for the results.

\"Did I mention I also have a certified lie detector in here?\" Dizzy chirped. Kai\'s expression darkened and
he took a few steps towards the laptop, and Kenny immediately ducked over his precious protectively.

\"Tell that thing to shut up or I\'ll throw it out of the window,\" the captain growled, making the Chief nod
vigorously and turn off the sound. Rei\'s brows climbed to his hairline.

\"If you\'d do that, we\'d never find out who did it,\" the Chinese noted. Kai snorted and leaned against a
wall.

\"Don\'t tell me you all actually believe Tyson?\" he asked with a bored tone. Everyone stared at him mouth
open, and the bluenette felt his temper rising again.

\"What do you mean? I\'ve got the evidence right here!\" He pointed at the cuffs on the table, but the slate
haired teen just shrugged.

\"Big deal. You probably brought those here yourself.\" Tyson\'s eyes started to thunder and darkened
dangerously.

\"And why would I do that?\" he snapped, turning to face his captain. Kai closed his eyes and shook his
head so slightly it was barely visible.

\"Who knows? I bet $20 you won\'t find anything. Even if you were telling the truth, no pro would ever
leave such obvious traces behind.\" Tyson swallowed hard, the words sinking in slowly as he turned to look
at the cuffs on the table. \'Could he be right? What if...?

\"Finally!\" Kenny exclaimed, taking out the paper coming out of Dizzy\'s side and bringing it closer to his
eyes to read it. Tyson licked his lips, staring intently at his old friend\'s face as he read the results. The only
reason Granger hadn\'t already ripped it out of Chief\'s grasp was that he knew he didn\'t understand a
single word of that jargon. Kenny\'s eyebrows knitted together in confusion and he looked up from the
results, staring at all of them at a time. Tyson knew he would die any second.

\"Well? Well?? Tell me already!! Who is it?\" he asked anxiously. Kenny dropped the paper on the table
and sighed.

\"Kai\'s right, there are no fingerprints besides yours. I… I\'m sorry Tyson,\" he sighed. Tyson\'s jaw flopped
on the floor.

\"What! No prints? He used gloves?!\" he repeated, dumbfounded. \"B-but… but…\" A small smirk
appeared on Kai\'s face as he straightened up and glanced at the dragon.

\"Tyson lied again. Well, I\'m shocked,\" he spat out sarcastically. Then he turned around and headed to his
bedroom. The bluenette was so stunned he couldn\'t even defend his honour. He became aware there were
hands on his shoulders and looked up to see Rei\'s and Max\'s serious faces.

\"I believe you, Tyson, prints or no prints,\" Rei said.

\"Yeah, you had me at handcuffs,\" the blonde added, squeezing his best friend\'s shoulder. Tyson wanted to
smile, he really did. But this moment didn\'t feel as good as he had expected for it to feel. Somehow it was
a lame consolation in perspective to the facts he didn\'t know who did it and that… that Kai didn\'t believe
him. Tyson pressed his face down. \'Why do I have to care about his stupid opinion so much?! Why
can\'t I just be more like him?!\' Tyson smiled weakly at his friends and went in his room.

\'And not give a shit about anything.\'

###

Tyson sat at the end of his bed, staring out of the window to the black sky. The weak, pale light of the stars
was the only thing helping him see. Though lately Tyson felt like the harder he looked, the less he saw. So
the others finally believed him. Kenny had hold on to the cuffs, making sure the stranger wouldn\'t be able
to use them again. Max and Rei had gone downstairs to check out all doors and windows; despite the fact
they had seen the old women next door, they still believed it was an outsider.

But Tyson wasn\'t so sure anymore.

He felt like in a matter of hours the whole basis he had built his friendships with his teammates on had been
swept away from under his feet, making him land straight on his ass. Tyson felt like a rat in a labyrinth: no
matter where he turned, it always led to a dead-end. The doors and windows were locked. They were in
the middle of abso-frickin\'-lutely nowhere, and the only other people around were elderly. Which only left
the bluehaired boy with one option. Absurd, horrible, wrong… and the only option. One of his friends was
lying to him. He had come to Tyson\'s room last night, knowing very well he was a heavy sleeper,
immobilised him and tongue-kissed him in the most intimate way possible. And the next morning he acted
like nothing had happened, lying to his face. And he had planned the whole thing by taking gloves with him!
Tyson sunk his teeth in his soft lower lip, remembering their trip up here. He had been so happy, so
carefree…

Then again, he had sat next to Kai for nearly six hours, so even if Chief, Max or Rei had plotted something
in the back of the car, he wouldn\'t have noticed anything. \'I am so gullible,\' the dragon thought, flopping
on his back. \'At that very moment when I was totally engulfed by Kai and his Kaism, one of those
guys was planning this all along! I am so stupid!\' Tyson closed his eyes and started rolling from left to
right, cocooning himself in the blanket. Once he was done and couldn\'t move a muscle, he relaxed and
exhaled deeply. Cocooning always made him feel a bit safer. Then a new, completely random thought
popped in his head. \'One of them likes me. Has a crush on me!\' Despite of, or maybe because of, the
lack of space to squirm, Tyson felt a strong urge to do so. \'Nooo… that ain\'t right! Maxie? My Maxie,
the Sunday School Angel? Doing something like this? And liking me? Nah, he would\'ve already said
something. Chief?\' At this point the bluenette started giggling, despite of himself. \'Yeah. Chief\'s really a
sexual predator hiding behind that laptop, glasses, and geek image. And at nights he tears away his
nerd outfit and becomes – SUPER FREEEK!!!\' Tyson was giggling so hard his chest was starting to
hurt. It took him a while to calm down.

\'So, that only leaves Rei and K– no! Don\'t even go there! You\'re supposed to be realistic and use
realistic reasoning to come to realistic conclusions. This is no time for… daydreaming. There is no
way he likes you so just drop it!! …I should be so lucky… NO!! None of that!!\' Tyson tried to smack
himself as a punishment, but the blanket was so tight around him he only managed to work up a sweat.
\'Wow, this really is tight. Heh, if he comes again, he won\'t need cuffs…!\' Tyson started rolling around
in sudden panic, from left to right, loosening up his cocoon till he was free. He wiped some sweat off his
forehead and reached for a glass of water on the nightstand. \'Hang on a sec,\' he thought as the cool fluid
ran down his throat, \'this is where my reasoning led me? To the straightest guy in the group? And not
just the group but, like, the world?\' He put the glass down and remained there, leaning on his elbow,
staring out at the stars. All reasonable signs were, in the end, pointing at Max. But somehow it just didn\'t
feel right. He had known the American for so long, and the boy was never one to bottle it all up inside…
and Max had been more shocked about this than anyone else. They were best friends.

There was a little voice somewhere deep inside Tyson, whispering about other options, but the dragon
stubbornly ignored it. \'No daydreaming. Not until I figure out this whole mess.\' A slow smile spread on
his lips. \'Then I can dream all I want again…\' Feeling somewhat better and more hopeful, the boy made
himself comfortable and fell asleep.

###

\"Tyson… I swear, when I find out who did this to you, I\'m going to hunt him down, cut his ugly torso into
pieces and send them to his relatives,\" Kai murmured. Tyson blushed and looked down at his toes.

\"Why would you do something like that?\" he asked, trying to sound innocent. Kai grabbed his arms, pulling
him against his chest. He tilted the blue haired boy\'s chin up, looking into his eyes. Tyson felt his brain
turning into mush.

\"Because I… I think I\'m in lo…\"

\"Yeah? You\'re in…?\" Tyson led on, blinking in that clueless way of his he knew drove the captain insane.
Kai\'s lips came closer to his, his breath caressing Tyson\'s mouth.

\"I\'m hopelessly in love with… with… Kenny!!\"

\"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOO!!!\" Tyson twitched and woke up with a jerk, panting like a wild
animal. \'Oh god, thank you! It was nothing but a dream, a horrible, horrible nightmare!\' Tyson tried
to blink. And then the same old fear crept back. The blindfold. He jerked at his hands. Sheets! \'That
bastard used sheets!! I don\'t believe this!!\' His mouth became a hard line and he tensed up. \'Man is yet
to invent walls that could hold back Tyson Granger\'s mighty voice!!\'

\"HEEEELLLPPPPPP!!!! THE PERVERRRRRRRT IS BAAA-A-A-ACCCKK!!! HE\'S GONNA
MOLEEEEEST MEEE AGAIIIIN!!\" Tyson broke into a fit of coughs, his head slumping on the pillow in
exhaustion. \'OK, so man has invented them after all. Great. Stupid Kenny, why can\'t he ever be
wrong, just once?!\' He shifted slightly, feeling thher her had already sat down, but only lower this time.
Tyson didn\'t like it. If the guy was going to do something, at least let it be to his face. Tyson froze suddenly
at a light contact on his bare foot. It floated up to his knee and to his inner thigh, making the boy squirm
slightly. He realised it was a finger, because soon it was joined by another and another one. Tarm arm
palm stroked down and up his soft inner thigh again, and it felt… really good. Tyson bit his lower lip, a
lovely shade of scarlet splashing across his cheeks. The fingers slid under his boxers and he yelped softly
with surprise. Inch by inch they set his skin on fire, approaching his most private parts. Tyson\'s breath was
starting to deepen again. \'Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. How can he make me feel this way? When I don\'t
even notice him usually?\' He started a bit when a hand landed on his cheek and fingertips, slightly rough
and calloused, swept over his lips, running left and right. Tyson opened his mouth slightly, letting them bask
in his hot breath. He kissed them, memorising the shape and texture. Maybe he could use the information
tomorrow. Or maybe he just really wanted to kiss them.

The weight on the bed shifted as the stranger leaned closer, his face hovering over Tyson\'s. He gently
replaced his fingertips with his lips, and the bluenette didn\'t pause in his ministrations for one second,
continuing kissing the lips as easily as he had kissed the hand. But unlike the fingertips, the male\'s tongue
didn\'t hesitate to accept Tyson\'s invitation and delved in. Tyson sighed with contempt, opening his mouth
wider for the other to claim. He gasped sharply as a hand slid under his the fabric of his boxers, nearing his
awakening erection. A thumb brushed feather lightly over him and he moaned, bucking his hips up. He felt
the lips against his smirking, and kissed the stranger harder, more demandingly. The hand returned to brush
over his sex, this time adding more pressure and stalling for a while, rubbing up and down the length. Tyson
groaned in the mouth, thrusting against the palm desperately. The male obliged and wrapped his hand firmly
around Tyson\'s now fully erect member, squeezing deliciously. He started a slow rhythm, stroking up and
down, freeing Tyson from the restraining fabric. Tyson was moaning and panting, thrusting his hips to meet
the kes kes of that hand. The lips left his mouth and he felt his shirt being pulled up, the cool air hitting his
skin. A hot mouth latched on his collarbone, licking and sucking on the soft skin, leaving red marks behind.
The male travelled lower and trailed his hot, wet tongue around a soft, rosy bud, erecting it in seconds.

Tyson felt like he was going to lose his mind any second. The stranger was jerking him off hard and fast,
slicking hi with his own precum, licking and sucking expertly on his nipples, sending sparks of pleasure
flyicroscross his hindered vision. He had never felt such fire coursing through him, he felt like he was going
to explode any minute, like he was on the verge bursting up.

\"Aaaah, ooh god yeahh p-please don\'t stop—oohhh g-goodnnhh –K-KAI!!!\" Tyson cummed violently in
the stranger\'s palm, his seed spilling all over his own stomach, soiling the sheets as well. Tyson fell limp as a
sweaty noodle, listening to his loud panting and gasping. He realised the hand had disappeared immediately
after he came. He cleared his sore throat.

\"He-hello? Are you there? G… guy?\" The room was absolutely quiet. Suddenly he realised what he had
done. \'Oh my god!! I yelled Kai\'s name, didn\'t I? Oh shit!! What if it was one of the guys and now he
knows and is gonna tell everybody!! Wait… he can\'t do that without blowing his cover so I\'m safe.
But what if it Kai Kai!?!\' Tyson burst in a little fit of giggles from exhaustion. \'Yeah right. I\'ve gotta get
a grip. Kai jerking me off, hehehe… I need help. I\'m mental, heheheehe... Ah dammit, I should\'ve
bit his lip or something! Then I would find out who it was!!\' Tyson thought about it for a while. \'Do I
really want to know? If it\'s Max, Kenny or Rei… do I really want to know?\' It was not a pleasant last
thought to leave the dragon with in the dark silence, but it was all he had, and it kept him awake till the sun
dawned.

###

Tyson opened his eyes and grimaced. Something was very… unpleasant. Very dry and sticky. He tried to
move but groaned as the fabric tore off his stomach, making a small ripping sound. He looked down at his
naked form and realised the sheet had been stuck to his skin by… something. The champion wrinkled his
nose and sat up, staring around his room. He couldn\'t believe it had happened again. The guy had repeated
his trick, despite of every measure they had taken last night to keep everyone out. The blue haired boy got
up and went in the bathroom to take a shower. Slowly, Tyson\'s head started to clear as he stood there,
leaning his forehead against the cool tiles, the hot water running over him. \'If I show them the sheet and
this…\' he touched he red mark on his collarbone, left by the possessive lips. \'Then even Kai has no
choice but to believe me. He\'ll finally take me seriously. I wonder if he\'ll care at all. Would he care
that someone has kissed me?\' The boy sighed and reached for the apple shampoo. \'Of course he won\'t.
Probably makes fun of me being some blind guy\'s last option.\' The dragon started rubbing the stuff in
his dark blue hair. \'So it has to be one of them. Whether I like it or not, one of my fds hds has a crush
on me.\' He started rinsing his hair. \'Should I make them stand in line and kiss them all to make sure?\'
Thy moy moved to body wash gel, a frown adorning his face. \'Nah. They would kill me. Especially Rei.
And Kai I wouldn\'t even get close to, but hey, it\'s not like there\'s a need for that…I know he didn\'t
do it.\'

After Tyson was finished, he got out of the shower and dried himself on one of the fluffy towels. He
glanced at the watch; it was 9.32. The others were still eating breakfast. Tyson got dressed and walked to
the door, taking one last look at his bed. The sheets were mussed and sticky, and the strip his hands had
been tied with was still there, around the steel poles forming the end of the bed. The boy blushed as the
memories of last night came back to him and turned away quickly, exiting the room and running downstairs.
The others were warned by the loud thumping in the stairs half a minute before the bluenette even came to
view.

\"Hi Tyson!\" Max greeted. Tyson stopped like he had hit a wall and looked at him in a funny way. The
blonde glanced around uncertainly.

\"What? Do I have jam on my face?\" the American chuckled nervously. Tyson just stared at him. \'Kenny is
too short to give me a hand job while kissing me. Rei is straight and Kai can\'t be it. Which means
Max is my main suspect. I didn\'t want to believe it, but here we are.\'

\"Uh, Tyson, can you stop staring at me like that? It\'s kinda creepy,\" Tate noted qui. Ty. Tyson\' eyes shot
wide open and he took a step closer to the blonde.

\"Max… the guy came back last night.\" Everyone but Kai gasped and stared at him in shock. Tyson shifted
slightly, he didn\'t like all this attention.

\"That\'s impossible!\" Rei exclaimed, \"We checked all the doors and windows ourselves!\" Max nodded to
this and turned to look at Granger again as he spoke.

\"Max… only you and Rei checked the windows and doors,\" Tyson said. Max started sweating heavily and
glanced at the Chinese.

\"A-are you saying it\'s my fault he got in? That I didn\'t check well enough?\" the blonde stuttered, fumbling
with his fork. Rei\'s expression became stern and he leaned over he table slightly, putting his hand over
Max\'s. Tyson\'s eyes nearly bugged out at this. \'Wo-ah! Hold on a sec here!\' his brain screamed.

\"That\'s nonsense, Max. We\'re in this together. I was there too, and there was no way the guy came in
through the exits we checked.\" Max cast the dark-haired teen a grateful look.

\"I… I guess so,\" he admitted weakly. Rei smiled warmly at the blonde and Tyson started feeling like he
was witnessing something that wasn\'t meant for his eyes. \'This is so whacked. I thought Rei was straight
as an arrow. Could he be bi?\' Now that Tyson really thought about it, he didn\'t know the Neko-jin that
well. \'OK, so that makes them both suspects. Great, just what I needed.\'

\"As I was saying,\" he raised his voice, ending Rei\'s and Max\'s little moment, \"You two made sure he
could not get in, and I believe you guys.\" Rei, Max and Kenny smiled at this, but after a few seconds they
started looking confused.

\"But… then how…?\" the brunette mumbled, scratching the back of his head. And then it started to dawn
upon them. Slowly, but steadily. And they all turned to gape at Tyson. Max glanced at the Chinese blader
quickly before blushing furiously.

\"A-are you saying one of us did it?\" he barely managed to whisper. Rei\'s head swung in the blonde\'s
direction and his eyes darkened.

\"I find that a bit hard to believe,\" he stated in monotone, not being able to tear his eyes away from the
blonde.

\"Me too,\" Max muttered. Tyson looked from the American to the Chinese, his gaze going back and forth ke ake a ping pong ball. \'Alrighty then. My only suspects and apparently into each other. Peachy. But
how can one of them like me if that\'s the case?\' He glanced at Kenny who had, shockingly enough,
forgotten about his laptop and was gaping at the bluenette. \'Could it be Kenny after all? Everyone
thinks he has no romantic needs… but didn\'t somebody say it\'s the quiet ones…?\' Tyson was yanked
out of his musings by a cold, sharp voice.

\"Are you done yet? We have a lot of training to do, and I\'m not going to let this become another
yesterday.\" Tyson\'s eyebrows knitted together and he turned to glare at the captain who had stood up and
was wiping crumbs off his shirt absentmindedly.

\"What\'s your problem?! Why can\'t you believe me?! Everyone else does!\" Kai stopped what he was
doing and lifted his auburn eyes on Tyson\'s blue ones.

\"Tyson. You\'re saying one of us kissed you,\" he stated icily, \"Need I say how idiotic that sounds? Even
out of your mouth?\" Tyson\'s fists balled subconsciously.

\"There is no other way! Don\'t you think I\'ve been driving myself up the wall because of this? It\'s ruined my
whole weekend already, and I don\'t need you doubting me and questioning my integrity!!\"

\"Your what?? I didn\'t know you had any. Come on Tyson, we all know you tend to cry wolf,\" Kai spat
out. A quiet, lurking storm started atheather over the planes of the dragon\'s dark, midnight eyes. He
stepped forward, his fingernails digging into the skin of his palms. He didn\'t notice it.

\"You arnbelnbelievable. Unbelievable. Why does the idea bother you so much anyway? And how do
you explain this?!\" Tyson snarled, yanking his shirt down and exposing the red mark on his collarbone.
Kai\'s eyes widened and his arms uncrossed not so gracefully. Tyson stood silent, breathing heavily, as
everyone stared at the mark. \'Sweet, sweet payback…\' After a few minutes of soaking it in, he broke the
silence.

\"And don\'t try to tell me I made it with a vacuum cleaner because I don\'t even know where the cleaning
closet is, and you would\'ve woken up to the sound of me dragging it into my room!\" Kai darted his pink
tongue out to moisten his lips, his intense gaze fixed on the mark branded on Tyson\'s smooth, tanned skin,
and suddenly the dragon started to shiver inside. The slate haired teen lifted hies oes on Tyson\'s slowly,
then at the others. His voice chilled the room temperature with several degrees.

\"So it\'s true. Someone broke in. Kenny, make sure no data is missing.\" Kenny nodded hastily and got to
work. The Bladebreaker captain glared at the two sitting by the table.

\"You were careless. It must not happen again, got it?\" he snapped. Max frowned and was about to open
his mouth to protest to what Kai was suggesting, but Rei sealed his mouth with his hand in the nick of time.

\"This is not the time to argue with him,\" the Chinese whispered in his ear. Max gave Rei a quizzical look.

\"Because of the fight brewing between him and Tyson?\" he asked. Rei shook his head grimly.

\"No. Not that. Because of something very different.\" Tate stared at his dark-haired teammate, his mouth
forming an \"o\", and suddenly he got it. They turned to look at the champions, who were glaring at each
other like they werene ine in the room or something. Max couldn\'t take it anymore.

\"OK, Kai. Sorry, my bad,\" he forced out of his mouth. Granger seemed to wake up from a trance and
looked at the blonde.

\"I don\'t think it is,\" he said sternly. Kai shook his head and walked away. Tyson stared after him. \'He
believes me… Why does nothing ever feel as good as you think it will?\' The blue haired boy followed
Kai\'s steps, out of the living room. \'Maybe I just have to stop expect\' \'

###

Tyson cleared his throat dramatically.

\"Dear diary…\" he started loudly, scribbling on a piece of paper. Max was trying not to giggle.

\"Today has been a most interesting day…\" Tyson continued, pausing to think about a punch line. He and
Max were sitting in the kitchen, waiting for Rei to return from the sauna. Tyson grinned and leaned over his
paper.

\"I was lying in my room, polishing one of my 12 Beyblading trophies…\" At this point Tate rolled his eyes.
\"…when Rei and Max came in, seducing me…\" Max\'s eyes grew wide. \"…into a game of water war on
the backyard,\" Tyson finished cleverly, making the blonde chuckle out loud.

\"Needles to say, I totally owned my friends.\" Max gasped in outrage and pointed at the paper.

\"Hey, no lying!\" he accused. Tyson huffed and corrected his writing.

\"We were all shocked by the fact Max somehow survived as the victor of round one,\" Tyson said, a smirk
spreading on his lips. \"For it\'s not a secret he couldn\'t hit a barn\'s door ten feet away from it, and he can\'t
take more than a few steps without tripping on his own shoelaces. Other contestants suspect some kind of
fraud.\" Max grinned and leaned back in his chair, waving his hand modestly.

\"Ah, just once try to be a good sport, Tyson,\" he joked. The blue haired boy continued nonchalantly.

\"We came in to change into some dry clothes for round two, and I got a spectacular idea…\"

\"Yeah right,\" Max snickered.

\"… to ask our beloved, good-humoured team captain to join us. He was very easy to persuade…\"

\"Once you sprayed water on the front of his pants,\" Max noted matter-of-factly. Tyson grinned and
blushed. He continued writing.

\"And Maxie learned a very important lesson that day: never call Kai a bed wetter.\" At this point the
American winced in discomfort. Ganger smiled victoriously and drew a little smiley in the corner of the
paper.

\"Unless you enjoy being tossed in the lake from the dock,\" he added. \"All in all, it was a very interesting
day.\"

\"Interesting day? How about interesting night?\" came the voice from the door. Tyson and Max turned to
look at Rei who had arrived, a towel flung over his shoulders. Granger blushed even more and folded the
paper in his pants pocket.

\"That information is strictly off record,\" he muttered, regretting telling the others, apart from Kai, about the
more intimate contact he had enjoyed last night. The Chinese came to the table and sat down.

\"The sauna is ready, should someone go get Chief?\" he asked. Max nodded and got up. A wicked grin
spread on Tyson\'s features out of the blue.

\"Why don\'t we ask Kai to join us, too?\" he asked. Rei paled immediately.

\"Don\'t you think you\'ve teased him enough already for one day?\" the dark haired teen asked. Tyson
promptly shook his head and got up, running up the stairs. He bounced along the hallway, nearing Kai\'s
room.

\'Let\'s see how many times I can get him off his ass today,\' he thought, smiling broadly as he knocked
on the door. There was no answer. Frowning, the blue haired boy pushed the door open. He paused the
moment he saw Kai. The captain was standing with his back towards Tyson, by the end of his bed, head
tilted down. When Kai heard the door slide open and the other\'s steps, he turned around abruptly.

\"Hey Kai, do you wanna…\" Tyson started, but his words died as his gaze trailed lower and he saw the
object in Kai\'s hands. \'This can\'t be…\'

TBC…
