May 19th – Editor's Notes: I can't believe I'm doing this, after all these years. It's all for the Spanish Translation of the story, courtesy of the authoress, Diethel-san, who has begun to support the KaRe pairing. Thank you, everyone, FFN and all its support means the world to me.
Remember folks, I wrote this five years ago. I'm a lot better now. Oh yeah, I'm adding and changing things as I go along. So, there will be differences. Heh.
-
Well, here I am, starting another fic. Shouldn't I finish my others first? Oh well, I don't feel like it. Let's call it writers block. How about that?
This time I'm going to try Beyblade - my first, well, second shot at the show. My first story sucked, I hated it and it no longer exists. If you remember it, shame on you. Now I'm going to try Yaoi K/R. Why not? Sounds like fun. Potential filled characters for me to toy with.
The chapters won't be that long since my updating times won't happen often. Maybe once every week. I'm thinking maybe Wednesdays. But I assure you all, this will contain fluff! The beloved fluff! It starts slow but I'll do my best to speed it all up.
Now on with the Disclaimer that I really have no choice to do. Ray a little help?
Ray: If she owned Beyblade it would be rated R because me and Kai would go at it a lot and always. Does it look like that's happening? No! You just answered the question yourself.
Wouldn't you love to go at it with Kai?
Ray: That's a question I shouldn't have to answer here.
Oh by the way, this fic is dedicated to none other then C-Bear! The reason why I'm doing Yaoi for you all now. Our 'unhealthy' obsession leads to this.
-Delirious Love-
Chapter 1 -Air sickness
''I hate flying'' The young raven-haired boy mumbled, holding on to his stomach.
''C'mon Ray, flying isn't that bad'' Tyson patted his shoulder reassuringly from the seat behind him.
Ray shut his eyes, inhaling slowly.
''You aren't looking that good buddy'' Max peered over as well, commenting worriedly.
''I just don't like flying'' Ray exhaled even slower, in an attempt to calm the ache that unnerved him.
''It could be a bug, there is one going around'' The Chief said, before returning to his furious typing.
''What are the symptoms, Kenny?''
''Stomach aches, headaches, fever, dizziness, delirium and other little things'' Kenny replied fixing his over rounded glasses on his head.
''1 out of 5, Don't worry I'll be fine!'' Ray half smiled.
''You look flushed, maybe you have a fever?'' Tyson rubbed his nose as he normally did.
Ray sighed and felt his forehead.
''I'm fine, really'' He insisted.
''It doesn't work that way, silly'' Max smiled and placed his hand below the red ying-yang bandana. ''Hmmmm, you are pretty warm'' The hand was then removed and placed on his chin in a pondering way.
''2 out of 5 Ray, it's obvious you're getting something'' Tyson sat back down in his seat.
Before Ray could deny the accusation made by his teammate, out of nowhere Kenny yelled out:
''I got it!''
Looking clueless Tyson asked the obvious question: ''Got what chief?''
''I found the information about the Canadian champions I was looking for'' He lifted his laptop on the back of the seat in front of Ray, allowing the team to view the newfound stats.
All three pairs of eyes glued themselves to the screen.
''They're all girls and for this competition, will be your only skilled opponents''
''This is going to be easy. Look at them, girls! C'mon after the Demolition boys this is going to be E-Z!''
''Don't underestimate them like you always do, Tyson'' A deeper voice said.
Tyson jumped up from his comfortable position and looked up at Kai, who stood behind them, waiting, and watching.
''Why do you always sneak up on us like that?'' Tyson blinked a few times, catching his breath.
''You seem to be the only one startled'' Kai smirked.
Max and Ray chuckled a bit as Tyson stuck his tongue out at Kai, before making various humorous faces. Ray looked up at Kai and for a split second their eyes locked in a glance. Kai had obviously overheard the voiced concerns, but the usual look was different this time. Eyes do give off a lot about a person but for Ray, it seemed impossible to find even the slightest thing. He wondered if perhaps, Kai as well, was concerned.
Kai looked away first as Kenny spoke up.
''The girls say they didn't go to the world tournament in Moscow after receiving a personal invite because of schedule''
''You don't just miss out on an opportunity like that because of schedule, you make time for it'' Ray turned his head back to the illuminated screen now filled with pictures and charts.
''It's even stranger because while we were touring Europe they visited the abbey and Boris''
''It's not strange Kenny, it is called being smart. They probably noticed what was going on and left'' Kai folded his arms and closed his eyes in regular stance.
''You're probably right Kai, they look serious and trained'' Ray agreed with the mature opinion, but his words were lost when Max exclaimed, ''This new tournament is going to be fun!''
''So where is this new tournament anyway, Chief?'' Tyson asked curiously.
''It's in Ottawa. Canada's capital''
''My mom told me they all spoke French down there'' Max quirked a blond eyebrow.
''No no, that's Quebec, but some people might speak the language'' Kenny brought up a map and pointed out the different areas. ''They're both side by side geologically with only a few hours drive between each capital''
''Les deux sont de tres beau pays''
''What did you say Ray?'' Tyson gave his friend a weird look. The language was not Cantonese, nor Japanese – it sounded foreign to Tyson's ears.
''It's French and I said-''
''Both countries are quite beautiful'' Kai finished off the sentence.
''You understood me?'' Ray asked looking back at the captain.
''Oui'' The positive affirmation was spoken, as he walked back to his seat, leaving the younger boys dumbfounded.
''Woah, this is too confusing!'' Tyson shook his head in frustration. There was no way he was going to learn a new language, or even attempt such a feet.
''It's best to know various languages when you travel'' The comment floated back to the gathering, from behind, to which Tyson retorted, ''Shut up know it all''.
''Hey guys, look!'' Max had his face glued to the window, as he drew everyone's attention to the skies.
''What is it Maxi?'' Tyson got up and joined his friend a few rows down.
''We're in Canada!''
''How do you know?''
''Just look over there on that television. It says: Now entering Canada'' Max pointed and rolled his blue eyes.
''Oh heh'' Tyson laughed, scratching the back of his neck.
''We should almost be there but once we land we have to put our clocks back a few hours''
''Well to what time then Kenny?''
''I'm not sure Tyson but we left our houses last night and this has been a long flight so for us it would be morning and to them evening or night''
''That explains why it's not broad day light outside'' Max rummaged threw his bag for any sign of his watch.
''Hey Max, you got any pain killers in there, aspirin maybe?'' Ray asked.
''Why? Do you have a headache?''
''Just starting one, so I'll be on the safe side on take one now'' He placed a palm on his forehead.
''You're not looking so good'' Max handed him a container, frowning slightly.
''3 out of 5, I'm telling you, you're starting something''
''Whatever, Tyson'' Ray swallowed the pill quickly and turned back.
Max and Tyson exchanged worried looks before sitting back down in silence.
''Good evening passengers, we would just like to left you know that we are all clear for landing so for your safety, please buckle up'' A feminine voice said from the intercom, their pilot, who continued her announcement with the following: ''One last interruption. There might be slight turbulence in the landing process because of the rain. Have a good evening and thank you for flying Transcontinental B.B.A sponsored air lines''
Outside, everything became darker, from a rosy hued sky to a navy tapestry, filled with twinkling lights, bright stars. At first, a drizzle began to sprinkle the windows but as time passed, the rain became harder, smashing up against the windows.
''Finally, we get to land'' Tyson tied his seat belt securely around his waistline.
''I hate turbulence, I hate flying!'' Ray moaned and ensued Tyson's actions. His uneasy state was evident now.
''Don't worry Ray, everything will be peachy!'' Max smiled ''It will all be over soon''
''I hope so, I don't know how much more my stomach can take of this''
''You can do it Ray!'' Tyson laughed ''Now we know why you always travel by ground, right?''
''Anything but planes''
The plane began to shake a little bit as the lights above them flickered off and on. That was the first sign of a less than pleasant landing in Ray's view. He was not looking forward to it, at all.
-TBC-
So what do you think? Boring wasn't it? I know, I know, but wait! The best is to come! I don't care how many reviews I get, but feedback will be greatly appreciated. Ray and Kai plushies for all reviewers!
