A/N: I'm being a naughty girl, starting a new story when I have Life in Balkov Abbey to re-write and finish! I also have another chapter for a completely different story to this one of the one I just mention – it's working progress that one though... Okay, so if you are Reading Live in Balkov Abbey, you can scold me, but I do hope you enjoy this; it's connected to something else I have already published here, I'll tell you which later on, but let's play a guessing game, just for amusement if you want. Which story is this connected to? I don't have many stories up and one is a complete re-write of another, so I won't give a clue to anyone who wants to play (though you'll probably got it from the summary!)!

Summary: After Ray's little episode and seconded near death experience, he and the other Bladebreakers move in together in a BBA house located in England! When everything seems perfect and happy for them, paradise come crumbling down, when four feared bladers move in with them!

Warning: The word Rape is in this chapter, but no-one is hurt in anyway; all bladers are safe! It is just some minds running away! Maybe mild language, can't remember now :S But it depends on what you class as mild language too!

Rated T for safety!

Note: I'm planning to have some Shounen-ai in it, BL, but it'll only be kissing and maybe teasing, nothing major, but if you don't like Boy x Boy, then maybe you want to leave now!

Those who are now left, I hope that you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Ray goes Missing

In the city of Moscow, the snow came heavily down as a blizzard, stranding all bladers in Russia, due to both in and out bound flights being cancelled from the bad weather. The Bladebreakers, White Tigers, All Starz and Majestics were all stuck, standing around in the foyer of the hotel they had been staying in; even though their flights were cancelled, the hotel was unable to allow them to stay in their rooms, because they had already been bucked by other people. Unfortunately, Mr. Dickenson was unable to arrange any other accommodation for the teens, though the hotel graciously offered them the foyer has refused till something could be sorted or they were able to get an out bound flight. Therefore, the bladers were all forced to hang around the foyer of the hotel, with nothing to do whatsoever.

"I am so totally bored!" Tyson yelled as loud as he could, for what must have been the millionth time. "Bored, bored, bored!"

"Shut up." Kai snapped his order, glaring fiercely at the younger teen as he rubbed his forehead, due to the building headache he had. "Just shut the hell up," Kai ordered again through gritted teeth.

"Boys," Mariah said to Emily as she shook her head. "Always have to be doing something. Hey Ray!" Mariah turned her head to the raven head teen who stared out of the window, not far from where she and Emily stood chatting. "I never asked you what flight you were getting out of here; are you coming back to White Tiger Hills with me and the others?"

"I'm not getting a flight out," Ray replied dull, still staring out of the window.

"Staying in Moscow longer are you? Do you have another hotel reservation?" Emily questioned. "Because that'll surely be better then hanging around this place. Although... Getting to it would probably be a problem."

"I hope you aren't staying here Ray, not with those monsters around..." Mariah shuttered. "If they see you alone, you'll be come their target and you'll never be able to come home."

"I'll be an adult before I return to White Tiger Hills, if I ever go back Mariah," Ray informed the pink haired blader, who pouted at the news. "I had a train ticket to St. Petersburg, but the trains aren't running because the snows that bad."

"Why are you going to St. Petersburg for?" Enrique asked; he and Oliver weren't standing that far away from them. "Got a girl there or something?"

"I hope not!" Mariah exclaimed angrily.

"Thought I'd see some of the sites in Russia before I leave," Ray answered.

"Ray, is everything okay?" Oliver questioned, worried, due to Ray constantly staring out of the window and the dull tone. "You haven't been yourself since the tournament party ended."

"I'm fine, nothing to worry about Oliver," Ray assured the French blader, turning to him and giving a fake smile. Oliver and Enrique saw that and the dull, saddened, almost lifeless look in Ray's eyes. "I'm just thinking about stuff, that all." With that, Ray turned to look out the window again; Oliver and Enrique exchanged questionable looks.

Across the room, Kai noticed Ray expression, which made him frown. What up Ray? Kai thought as he stood up and made his way over to Ray. Standing next to him, Kai tapped on Ray's shoulder, gesturing away from everyone, he said, "Let's talk in privet Ray." Then walked of away from everyone with Ray in toe.

"Is something wrong Kai?" Ray asked his captain when they were alone.

"I was going to ask you that Ray," Kai replied. "You're not yourself and the expression on your face a moment ago, it wasn't you."

"Everything is fine with me Kai," Ray answered, giving Kai a dumb look. "I don't know what expression you were talking about." But if I had to guess...

"Don't tell me that you are all right Ray, because I'm not buying it." Crossing his arms, Kai glared at the raven haired boy. "You've been distance, even Tyson has noticed that. It's not like you. When the weather clears and we're able to leave, where are you go? Back to China with the White Tigers?"

"Why does everyone seem to think that?" Ray rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I'm going to see some sights in Russia before deciding where I'm going next, is that okay."

"Everyone is going home to see family, so it's an obvious thought, you have been away from your home longer than anyone," Kai said with a low growl, not liking the tone Ray gave him. "There's no problem with you going to see some sites, the problem is your attitude Ray. Your distance and cutting yourself of from the others, which isn't like you."

"Do you really know what I'm like Kai?" Ray questioned angrily. "The answer is no; none of you know the first thing about me."

"You're from White Tiger Hills, Chinese and a former member of the White Tigers. You were handed Driger by Lee's Grandfather and then went travelling, because of this the White Tigers' branded you a traitor," Kai began to reel off, angrily. "Mr. Dickenson especially ask you to be a part of the team he was setting up and flow you to Japan, were you enter the regional tournament, which ultimately formed the Bladebreakers. I know this and the events that played out during our time as the Bladebreakers. I know how you have acted, what you are like. You're a kind, friendly person Ray, the mother hen of the Bladebreakers. What I don't know is why you have suddenly become so distant Ray."

"I haven't become distant and you may be able to say all that about me Kai," Ray snapped. "But it means nothing. You don't know me and I'm not going to waste my breath in telling you! So leave me alone!"

Turning his back on Kai, Ray ran off. He ran down the corridor, through the foyer and out of the hotel and into the blizzard. He not once stopped to listen or answer the voices that called him, he just ran onto the streets of Russia and carried on running, till eventually, when he felt his breath come to heavy to carry one. However, he didn't know where he was anymore, when he looked around.

"Oh this is just great..." Ray mumbled to himself. "But I guess it serves me right for running out into a blizzard..."

Ray began to look around, to find a place to take shelter or to find something familiar, that will ultimately lead him back to the hotel. Although, Ray wasn't too sure that he actually want to go back there now. At the very least, Ray knew that he'd have to go back to grab his belongings, but first, he needed shelter. Looking around, Ray search for what felt like hours to him, for a place to wait the blizzard out, as the cold attacked him. Wrapping him in a cold world, Ray soon found that he couldn't go much further and ended up being engulfed in a dark world.

When Ray ran, Kai had went after him, only stopping briefly to grab his and Ray's coats and to tell everyone not to follow, because they didn't know Moscow. Kai search for Ray in the blizzard for a long time, but no matter where he looked, there wasn't any trace of his neko-jin teammate. Eventually, Kai made his way back to the hotel, hoping that Ray may have returned, may have found his way back safely, and he knew that if he stayed out too long in this blizzard, that he was sure to become ill or maybe loose his life. However, upon entering the warmth of the foyer, Kai was bombarded by the other bladers, asking where Ray was, if Ray was safe and ultimately, what happened. These questions were to Kai's disappointment and his reply to theirs. A few days past, the storm cleared and everyone's flights were rearranged, but Ray hadn't returned; everyone was worried, but they had no choice but to leave everything up to Kai. At the airport, everyone said their good byes and parted ways, leaving Kai with his and Ray's belongings and orders to let them know when he found Ray.

Sighing, Kai excited the airport and looked around. "What am I going to do now?" he muttered to himself. "Ray where have you gotten too?" Kai had no idea where to start looking for his stray teammate, or former teammate now. Before the others flights had been rearrange, the gang had called all hospitals in the areas, to see if anyone matching Ray's description was admitted, but they came empty handed. Kai, to everyone's disapproval, even called morgues around Moscow, just in case the worse had happened, luckily, he'd come up empty there too, but there was always still the dreadful possibility that Ray had passed on.

Lying dead somewhere he hasn't been found; found shelter and just doesn't want to face anyone; he's been kidnapped and sold as a prostitute, slave or whatever; he'd been eaten by wild animals; captured by Bio-Volt workers still on the loose; some old perverted geezer has picked him up and is currently molesting him... As Kai began to wonder about, he went over possibilities of what could have happened to Ray, thoughts that he didn't like. He's been abducted by aliens... "Wait! Then how am I supposed to find him!" Kai yelled at that last thought.

"Letting your mind run wild again?" came a familiar voice that was full of amusement.

Spinning around, Kai came face to face with Bryan. Smiling sadly, Kai asked; "Can I pick your brain for a while?"

"Will it hurt?" Bryan replied and Kai shook his head. "Let's get coffee then." Bryan grabbed one of the bags Kai had and began to walk, with Kai at his side.

"Can I have hot chocolate?" Kai asked, a little childishly.

"Who said I'm paying?" Bryan questioned with a grin. "You're the one wanting to pick my mind, so you can pay."

"Fine," Kai said. "I'll give you the money and you can order them."

"Like hell."

Moments later, the two teens sat facing each others in a small, but nice cafe. Kai with a steaming mug of hot chocolate and Bryan with black coffee. Without waiting for it to cool a little, Bryan took a mouthful.

"Doesn't it burn your mouth?" Kai questioned.

"Nape or maybe I've just lost feeling in some of my nerves," Bryan replied. "What is that you wanted to talk about?"

"During the blizzard the other day, Ray ran off and now he's missing," Kai explain. "When you saw me a few minutes ago, everyone else had just left, they wanted to stay, but are forced to leave it to me to find him. I was thinking of what could have happened to him and my mind was getting away from me... I thought that I may have been taken by aliens. Anyways, we've already called hospitals and morgues, but haven't found anyone even matching his description. So I was wondering if you had any ideas to help me located him."

"Lying dead in a gutter somewhere, or getting eaten by savage wolves and other wild animals," Bryan said casually. "Maybe he's been kidnapped and sold as a slave or prostitute, hell knows he's attractive. Grabbed by a pervert and currently being rapped..."

"My mind's already played these! At least similar things..." Kai exclaimed, before whispering quietly; "Ray's my friend, I want him to be safe, so please don't remind me of them."

"If he's your friend, then surely you should know where to look?" Bryan commented coolly. "How about this one; Tala, for some unknown reason, decides to take a walk in the middle of a blizzard, with the thought that it'll be refreshing, because that's the way his brain works. He doesn't get too far from the Abbey..."

"Are you guys still staying at the Abbey?" Kai interrupted. "And what has this got to do with finding Ray?"

"Yerr, but we can only access the living area now and the outside bey-dishes; the BBA couldn't find accommodation for everyone. Those who were in the cells are out though," Bryan explain. "And if you let me finish, you'll find the answer to your second question. So where was I? Oh yerr; Tala hadn't gotten far from the Abbey when he found an unconscious kitty and, as you know, Tala loves cute animals, so took the kitty home with him. The kitty is now sleeping in Tala's bed and has been since he found him. The end."

"Bryan, that has nothing to do with Ray, never mind finding him," Kai said blankly. "And really, I don't believe any of you is stupid enough to take a stole in the middle of a blizzard, like it was summer."

"Now you don't get the metaphor do you?" Bryan said shaking his head. "What I say is true, Tala took a walk truing the blizzard and found a kitten, who's sleeping in his bed."

"Tala needs to get his head checked out then," Kai said bewildered. "And what do you mean, metaphor?"

A/N:Okay, so that is the end of this chapter! I hope that you enjoyed and want to read more! I was contemplating continuing the chapter, making it longer, but have decided to turn it into a two part! Have I left it as a cliff hanger? Do you get Bryan's metaphor? Please review, because I'd like to know what you think!
