A/N: Tad, my humor muse, thought this one ?I don't know. But my friends liked it. I hope you will too.

Kai closed his eyes. Silence at long last. Peace. It was unusual but…meh…he didn't care. It was more peaceful in the courtyard than anywhere near Tyson's room. Tyson and Hilary were in there and Kai was pretty sure he heard something break when he passed. He knew better than to get involved in the lovers' spats within the team. He knew better than to get involved with a lover. He felt kind of lonely at times, what with Spencer having an online romance (MEH! O.o) and Bryan and Tala barely letting each other breathe when they kissed. The other Bladebreakers had found that 'someone'. Kenny himself had ended up with Emily.

"HEY!" yelled Rei.

One of Kai's eyes cracked open again. "You're back early," he mumbled.

"Mariah gave me Pepsi to drink! She said I was hyper! You think I'm hyper? Huh huh huh?"

The other eyes fluttered open. Did Mariah put cocaine in that Pepsi? He wanted to ask but didn't. She was doing weird stuff to Rei, who was possibly the only sane person left on Earth.

"Yes," came the curt reply.

"Hey Kai…"

"What?"

"I just realized something."

"You've realized that you're a guy and therefore not a lesbian?"

"NOPE! Wanna know what your name means in Chinese?"

"No."

Lunch…

"Hey Kai…"

Kai glared at his best friend. "WHAT?" he snapped.

Rei was still hyper; his eyes were all sparkly. "DO you wanna know what your name means in Chinese?"

"No." Kai stabbed his rotisserie chicken savagely.

"WHY NOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT?"

"Because."

"Because what?"

"Because."

At the park…

"Are you going to stop following me?"

"NOPE!"

I can't wait until that Pepsi wears off, Kai thought. He walked up the slope of the hill, hoping to lose the neko-jin. No such luck.

"NOW do you wanna know what your name means in Chinese?"

"NO."

Kai quickened his pace but Rei still followed him.

"KAAAAAAAIIIII!"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

"Do you wanna know what your name means in Chinese?"

"Noooooo!"

Kai sighed and leaned heavily against the tree. Finally, he'd lost Rei…or not.

A blur appeared before him, dropping from the tree.

"Not you again," Kai groaned.

"DO YOU WANN KNOW WHAT YOUR NAME MEANS IN CHINESE?"

"NO!"

"WHHHHHYYYYYYY NNNNNOOOOOOTTTTTTTT?"

"Fine…"

There was an unsure pause.

"Are you sure you wanna know?"

"Yes."

"In Chinese, Kai means chicken."

Kai narrowed his eyes and picked up a broken bottle he'd conveniently found at the base of the tree (he'd broken it weeks ago…once upon a time, it contained vodka). He also picked up a few rocks.

"REI?"

"Yeah," Rei said, slightly slipping from hyper to tired.

"Run for your life, you fuckwit!" Kai started throwing the rocks.

Rei ran as Kai waved the bottle at him. Mariah watched in amusement as her boyfriend screamed for mercy. A bit of cocaine in a bottle of Pepsi worked wonders…

A/N: HEHE...don't hurt me...and Kai really means chicken in Cantonese. I realized it when i was reading the Chinese take-out menu. BWAHAHAHA! Review.

Jinx: Never let her near the cough syrup again!

Tad: What? Her friends LIKED it.

Neysa: it's not nice...but it was kinda funny.

Jinx: You're siding with him?

Zoe: Play NICE! BYEZ PEOPLE!
