To all my "courage" fic fans, Rejoyce!!! This is the first chapter of the sequel. However, this fic contains more violence than its predessescor (You've been warned). Enjoy!!!
To all my beloved reviewers and readers, I would just like to point out that I am a male. Some got the idea that I'm a female due to the name "Lusitania". That name was derived from Mauretania's (Titanic's rival) sister ship.
An unpleasant reunion
The sun shone brightly over the mountains on a town in china. Its rays cast light shadows over a small house built for a small group of friends.
Mariah slowly opened her eyelids to the morning rays. Yawning, she sat up and stretched her arms as well as scratching her eyes to get rid of any sleep. After a few moments of contemplation on what happened yesterday, she got up, took a bath, got dressed and headed for the kitchen where the heavenly scent of fried eggs and bacon wafted through the air.
"Morning" Ray greeted her as he flipped another egg on its other side.
"Good morning Ray" she smiled at him. Since ray's arrival, she always looked forward to breakfast because he doesn't cook the typical noodles. Instead, he cooks some of the food he's seen throughout the whole globe.
It's been almost a week since they confessed their love to each other. The white tigers know this and constantly tease the couple. Both of them tolerate it as long as there's no media. Seriously, those guys would grab any story they could find and suck out the energy from their poor victims until there's nothing left but skin and bones.
"Morning everyone" a lazy faced Lee entered the kitchen yawning.
"Morning" both Mariah and Ray said in unison.
"Mmmm, something smells good" he said as he closed his eyes and sniffed the air. "Eggs!!!! And Bacons!!!" the lion faced man exclaimed as he claimed a seat and took his utensils.
"Come on Ray, I ain't getting any younger!!" he exclaimed.
"Alright, alright. Sheesh, quit acting like a ten year old" with that, Ray set the food on the table.
"FOOD!!!" an all too familiar voice rang through the entire house as a newly awakened Gary, still in his PJ's, rammed the kitchen door, took a seat on the table and began devouring the first batch.
"GARY, quit hogging all the bacons you big lummox!!!" Mariah yelled as she desperately tried to get the plate off Gary's mouth.
"Don't worry Mariah, there's plenty more where that came from" Ray said as he turned the stove again "Uh-oh"
"What?" that was Lee, trying to pry the last piece of bacon from Gary's mouth.
"We're out of gas" Ray said trying the stove again but still, no flames. "I'm just gonna go buy some okay" with that, he grabbed his wallet and headed for the door.
"Wait, I'll come with you" Mariah stood up and chased the raven-haired neko-jin.
"Are you sure? There's no need you know?" Ray said concernedly.
"Yeah, I need to pick my dress at the laundry anyway" she dropped the dress she wore at the ball in the laundry to have it cleaned and up until now, she hasn't gotten it yet. After all, businesses like those are new to their village.
"Okay" with that, the couple departed.
--------------------
"Ray" a man with white hair whispered as he arrived in the mountains of china. "I'll make you pay for humiliating me at the Russian tournament" with that, the man entered the village.
--------------------
"Are you sure?" Ray asked Mariah concernedly. She proposed that they split up to save time since Kevin is about to wake up and Lee is getting hungrier by the minute. The gas store and laundry are on opposite directions.
"Don't worry Ray, the thugs that ambushed me are already arrested" Mariah assured he boyfriend.
"Okay" he said hesitantly as they started to walk away form each other. "Meet me here in thirty minutes okay?"
"Right" with that, they split up
--------------------
"Oh?" the white haired man whispered as his eyes fell upon a certain pink haired girl in the crowd. He recognized the girl. She was cheering for Ray during the Russian tournament. A smile made its way to his lips as he approached her.
"Excuse me miss?" he said. The girl turned to look at the one who called her.
--------------------
'Where was it again?' Mariah asked herself as she looked left and right trying to find the laundry.
"Excuse me miss?" a voice called her from behind. She turned to the one who called her only to see a metal pipe collide with her head. She fell unconscious immediately.
--------------------
'Where could she be?' Ray impatiently thought as he scanned the crowd for the pink-haired neko-jin. It's been 45 minutes and still no sign of her. Worry is building inside him as the incidents of the previous kidnap attempt flashed through his mind.
Just then, he spotted something pink. He looked at it and his eyes widened in horror.
There she is, Mariah, slung over a shoulder of a white haired-man. He was smirking at him, turned and ran.
It took Ray a second to recover before he too ran and chased the man.
The white haired man smirked as he looked at his back to see the raven-haired neko-jin chasing him.
"COME BACK HERE YOU BASTARD!!!" Ray yelled but it only served to give the man a bigger smile.
The man turned to an alley and into an old abandoned warehouse. There, he dropped Mariah and tied her to a post. He then hid himself from view.
When he got there, he was sweating like crazy and breathing heavily. Ray looked around the warehouse for any signs of the white haired man but what he saw was Mariah, tied to a post and has a bleeding forehead.
"MARIAH!!!" he yelled as he rushed to her aid. He tore a piece from his clothes and tied it at her forehead to act as a Band-Aid. Just then, he heard some rustling noises behind him.
He turned sharply only to see a metal pipe collide with his head.
Pain shot through his entire system as the force of the collision slowly took his consciousness away. He looked at his attacker and recognized the face immediately.
"B-Bryan?" with that, the neko-jin passed out.
