Of Traitors and Thieves

Chapter One - Encounters and Calmings

As Kai rounded the steps of the stadium, he almost knocked over the person walking towards him. It took him a while to recognise who it was but when he had, he went red in the face and mumbled an apology. He other person laughed almost cruelly which made Kai turn around. Ray stood with his arms folded, an amused expression on his face which, in Kai's opinion, shouldn't have been there.

"Leaving in such a hurry? Wow, you seem to want to spend less time than usual with your team. We've hardly seen you since the tournament started, and that was when we were battling the Demolition Boys. What you been getting up to Kai, and why the hell have you gone so red?" He asked the last question out of genuine concern for a teammate and friend.

"Nothing, it was nothing"

"Not convincing" Ray answered. Now Kai was getting angry. "I'm telling you Ray, I'm doing nothing, ok, nothing, now leave me alone."

"Oh I don't think it's nothing, traitor boy, something's up. What? You gone back to the other side now? That it?"

Kai frowned; this was not the Ray he knew.

"Is something wrong?" He asked. //Yes\\ thought Ray, //Something is wrong. That something is you. I feel funny whenever you're near me\\

"I don't know whether it's 'cos I love you or hate you." It took a second for his own words to sink in, but when they had, Ray instantly cursed himself for thinking out loud and turned to walk away. Kai, a muddle of confusion, disbelief and sorrow grabbed his arm and swung him back around.

"What are you talking about?" he questioned. Ray started to panic and struggled to get free. Kai tightened his grip.

"What did you mean? Why did you call me 'traitor boy'?" His voice held a tone of anxiety. Ray scowled at him, his usually passive expression now a mixture of anger and fright.

"Let.go.of.me!" he yelled. Kai just glared at him, not loosening his grip.

A voice startled them both and they turned around to look at the intruder.

"What is going on?!" The two boys stumbled for words to say as Mr. Dickinson walked towards them, a very humoured expression on his face. "Now I know you two wouldn't be fighting, you're far to nice for that. Just a little squabble I suppose. Yes boys?"

Both boys went red in the face. Ray stuttered and then gave an answer that seemed to satisfy Mr. Dickinson because he turned and left after nodding his approval.

The boys watched him walk away and as soon as he was out of sight, Ray made a run for it but Kai grabbed his ponytail (A/N: It's a ponytail? I dunno, couldn't think what else to call it).

Ray squirmed.

"Ow Kai, that hurts!" Kai looked at the boy astounded.

"That was the point!" he all but yelled. "Well it's not funny anymore, let me go." Kai let go and Ray turned to face him and Kai spoke in a soft voice.

"What's going on? We shouldn't be fighting, I think I need some coffee, you coming?" Ray nodded.

"But I want tea." He noted as they both walked towards the canteen.

When they reached the canteen, the colourful voices of Max and Tyson found their ears and guided them to a table in the corner that was choc-a-bloc with food.

//Just like Tyson\\ Ray thought with a smile. Kai wasn't so happy.

"Tyson! How are you eating again?! At this rate you'll have to be wheeled to your matches on a trolley!" Tyson stopped giggling and looked at him.

"Oh c'mon Kai, a guys gotta eat what a guy's gotta eat" Ray gave Kai a warning look that told him not to take it any further.

"Hn" Kai sat at the table and watched his teammates eat and eat and eat. Oh well, at least he could make them pay in their training session tomorrow….

What do you think? Is it good? Should I continue? I know it's short but I couldn't think of anyway to link what I wanted to write with what I'd written. Anyway. Review please! All reviewers get a virtual candycane!
