Ray was walking away from white tiger village he was excited that he would be able to learn more about bit beasts but he was sad because he was leaving his family and best friends.

Xxxflashbackxxx

(I will just be calling rays mum and dad mother and father)

"Please ray you can't leave, the village needs you and you can't just take drigger!" His mother begged

"Your mother is right ray you have a responsibility to the village" his father explained

"But I can't just stay here when there is so much to learn about bit beast's I said

"but you will be leaving everything behind, what if the village doesn't take you back your taking huge risk and think about Mariah she'll be lost without you" his mother reasoned

Ray sighed "she needs to learn to take care of herself without me sooner or later"

His mother looked confused "but I thought that you and Mariah..." but was cut off by his father

"No he will learn the hard way, we won't tell him"

"Won't tell me what?" I asked with curiosity

"You will learn when you are older" his father explained coldly "what are you waiting for go and don't come back until you have learned that lesson."

Xxxflashback endxxx

Ray was so bored he started to talk to himself "what are my parents talking about and what does it have to do with Mariah? I want answers but I guess i'll find out sooner or later"

Mariah was upset hurt and angry "why would he just leave like that without telling me? I can't believe him we where friend nearly all or life so far and he thinks he can leave without even saying goodbye?" Mariah screamed with all her frustration.

Gary and Kevin shrunk back scared that Mariah would be so mad that she would kill them but lee started to speak "I know you're upset and angry we all are and we know how you felt about ray but lashing out isn't going to solve anything"

"How did you know about my feeling for ray" Mariah whispered blushing

"Mariah it was obvious to everyone but ray" Kevin replied smirking

Mariah's blush went scarlet "really I tried to keep it hidden"

Kevin's smirk grew "well you failed"

Mariah's embrassement turned to anger "I'm going to kill you pipsqueak" Mariah shouted chasing after Kevin

Lee and Gary sweatdropped "come on guys its getting dark we had better go home" lee shouted to them

Mariah stopped chasing Kevin and shouted back "ok we'll be right there" Kevin sighed in relief as Mariah had seemed to forget about chasing him

"I have not forgotten about this pipsqueak" Mariah whispered Kevin gulped and they all walked back in to the village.

"i miss you ray let Drigger keep you safe until I see you again" Mariah whispered to herself.

Ray had been walking for a long time and he was pretty tired but finally he had reached Japan

Wow this place is a lot bigger than white tiger valleyray thought

He was walking past a dojo when he heard the clashing of metal and that could only mean two thing metal shop or a beyblade battle.

Having a curious nature he decided to take a look, he used his agile cat like skills to jump the wall, his raven hair gleamed in the darkness until he found a shaded place to watch what was going on.

Two young boys about 9-10 years of age where having a beyblade battle, one of the bladders had dark blue hair with a backwards red hat he also wore brown fingerless gloves, blue three quarter length trousers with a black belt, a yellow top, a red jacket and white, red and yellow trainers.

The other blader had blond hair and was wearing a blue top with two yellow stars with red lining the bottom arms and neck, gray three quarter shorts and blue and red shoes.

They both were having an intense battle "go draciel" shouted the blond headed boy

"Oh no ya don't, GO DRAGOON" shouted the bluenette

The smoke cleared and the only blade spinning was the bluenettes

"Aww no fair rematch" whined the blonde headed boy

"you're on" smirked the over confident bluenette, ray was watching when he decided he had seen enough and stared to move away when he tripped on a flower vase

"Someone just knocked over my favourite vase"

Ray had hurt his ankle and couldn't move so he decided to be quiet so that maybe they wouldn't notice him.

"Hey you ok man"...

Clover123ie: CLIFFHANGER I'm so evil aren't I?

Mariah: *bursts into tears* how could you leave me ray!

Ray: *glares at clover123ie* how could you make me leave her!
