Ray's point of view.
Yes, I do know it can be spelled Rei, but I chose not to spell it that way.
marishka91 and Kinomiya thank you for the reviews. Sorry it took me so long to update, this story is hard to write when I am not under pressure. I also just realized that I had a typo in the first chapter with Driger, sorry about that too.
Please, do not flame, or read if you do not like the paring/yaoi.
Disclaimer-I do not own beyblade.

Juju dashed out of the room. Soap and water flew off of her and onto the clean carpet of the upstairs hallway of our house. The fluffy ball of an orange tabby sped down the stairs as I chased after her, tripping and falling down the stairs. She easily gained speed as I attempted to get up, but I was not able to recover my balance well and as I turned the corner to our Kitchen, my foot slipped on the still drying tile. Sliding onto the floor and into the cabinet, I almost hit Kai, who was sitting at the table. Juju made her escape and quickly jumped onto Kai's shoulder for protection as she hissed at me.
Kai blew a strand of hair out of his face and looked at his soaking wet Cat, who was getting water all over him. Carefully he picked her up and placed her on the floor beside him. He turned to me and an innocent smile came across my face. Kai rolled his eyes and neatly folded his newspaper, before placing it on the table. Getting up, he pulled me to my feet and rolled his eyes again while Juju continued to hiss at me.
"I swear Ray, if you were any other person you would be on the street right now," Came Kai's annoyed voice, but it was easy to tell that there was some amusement in it. I did not see any harm in what I had done. Juju needed to be cleaned just like everything else in the house, even though Kai had told me time after time not to wash her. Though, I rarely listened to what he told me to do unless he really meant it. I should probably stop trying, but Juju needs to be washed and cleaned too. As far as I was concerned everything in the house had to be clean and pretty.
" Aw, Kai Juju needs a bath, but I guess if you do not want to her to be clean, then I won't wash her," I sighed. I let it go; after all Kai had agreed to stay home with me today. So, I did owe him something.
I turned on my heels to face Juju, who was hiding underneath Kai's chair. Bending down, I smiled at her, but that only seemed to make her angrier at me. I lightly tapped the floor with my hand; something Kai often did when he wanted her to come to him. Her ears pricked up and she slowly walked over to me. She looked up at me and waited to see what else she would have to put up with. I petted her head and she purred happily.
"Sorry, Juju," I said. She meowed and rubbed against Kai's leg. She was either annoyed with me or just wanted to get away from me before I tried to give her bath again.
Kai glanced out of the window and an odd look came across his face. I got up to see what he was looking at. There were police cars all over the street and I could see Max on the sidewalk crying with Kenny next to him, crying as well. I could not tell what was going on, but whatever it was, it did not look too good. I had a theory that something happened to Tyson's grandfather, but I soon saw him talking to the police, which meant something must have happened to Tyson. I began to run towards the door, but Kai grabbed my arm and pulled me back a little.
"Stay here. I will find out what is going on," Kai said as he walked to the door and unlocked. He shot me a glare, before leaving, though it meant nothing to me. Did he really think I was going to not follow him? Tyson was my friend and he had done many things for me. I had every right to go and besides Kai just made it more tempting by telling me to stay. I was not a dog.
Carefully, I walked toward the door and opened it a little. Sticking my head out, I could see that Kai was not paying any attention to me as he talked to Tyson's grandfather. So, I slipped out the door and ran behind a nearby police car. I looked at Kai again; luckily he had not seen me. I made a run for Max and Kenny, hiding behind Max as I reached them. Turning, I looked at Kai, who had seen me, but he had given up on trying to make me stay in the house.
"What is going on?" I asked them as I turned back to look at Max and Kenny. Kenny rubbed his eyes and tried to gain control over his emotions while Max bit his lip, starting to prepare himself to speak. I waited patiently while the two tried to calm themselves down. I could only hope that everything was alright. Though, with the way they were, I doubted that everything could be fine.
"Tyson has been kidnapped and they are threatening to kill him if they do not get want they want! I don't want Tyson to die, Ray!" Max yelled. I placed my hand on his shoulder. Who on Earth would want to kidnap Tyson? I mean it was Tyson we were talking about after all. People would pay us to take him back, so what could they want with him and how could they stand him? What did they want to gain from this?
I looked back to Kai and I could tell what he was thinking. Boris, but I doubted that even he could tolerate Tyson for very long. Kai did have a habit to blame everything on Boris and his grandfather. I did not blame him for hating the two, but why would they kidnap Tyson. Well, I am sure they have reasons, but still. Perhaps who ever had kidnapped Tyson wants to break up the Bladebreakers? It would make sense, since Tyson was the most famous one out of us, even though Kai was really our leader.
"We have to save him!" Max blurted out. I stared blankly at him and Kai sighed. Kenny looked at him like he was an idiot. We had no clue who kidnapped Tyson and where he was. We had nothing to start with and I highly doubted the police would let us into the house.
"Max, we would never be able to find him," Kai sighed. Though, Max was not giving up that easily. He wanted to save Tyson, but that was what the police were for. It was their job to find him, but I still wanted to help. Something told me that Max was right. We had to save Tyson. He was our friend and for some reason, I did not trust the police to find him. I turned to Kai.
"Max is right. I will help, even if you say no Kai," I said. Kai slapped his forehead and rolled his eyes. Kenny looked at Kai, but I could tell that he wanted to help. There was no way Kai could say no now. He would actually get the chance to lead us for once in his life.
"Fine, I suppose it won't kill me to look for the idiot," Kai said, but he quickly turned around as he heard someone coming. I looked around too, but the person was still a little bit away from us, so I could not make out who it was. It only took a few minutes for the person to come into view and I was sure surprised to see Zeo running toward us.
He skidded slightly on his shoes as he stopped in front of us, putting his hands on his knees as he attempted to catch his breath. We simply stared at him, dumbfounded. It had been a while since we had seen Zeo and we figured he just gave up on beyblade, but he was holding his blade in his hand. I had never thought that I would see the kid again, but here he was. Why? I had not a clue in the world.
"I heard that something happened to Tyson and I want to help!" Zeo panted out. The case must have been on the news this morning and that was how he found out. Max and Kenny seemed thankful to have another person on the team, but Kai, of course, just sighed at having to work with Zeo. I, myself, was happy to have another person to help, but the more people we had the easier we would be to find. Though, we could deal with that when the time came.
"Thanks Zeo, we could use the help," Max said as he smiled and extended his hand out to the younger child. Zeo smiled and took his hand, shaking it. It seemed our team was forming, but we had no leads. We needed to get into the house, but that would not be an easy thing to do. The police were still searching it, s owe would have to get their attention.
