Love at the end of the river Ch 3-Looking for their caption

The moon and the stars glistened white light off the river below. Three figures ran through the trees, looking like flashes of light against the moonlight. As they ran, a small, populated village came into view over the horizon. The figures ran the final ground of the forest and to the front of the village. They stopped in front of the large, wooden gate with metal spikes on the bars keeping out unwanted visitors (Droopy: Am I creeping you out yet??). The gates squeaked open as they were let inside of the small village. Plenty of villagers roamed the night streets around the many carts of food and merchandise. The three boys mazed their way through the people and carts to an empty corner. The raven-haired boy took out a map and stared at it for a minute before bringing his head up to his companions.

"We're looking for 'The Village Inn' around the middle of the town on the right side," The others nodded their heads in agreement and took off down the streets of the village. They looked frantically around the giant mobs of people enjoying the late night partying.

"There," The blonde one said reaching out his hand and pointing to a sign to his right. The sign had a giant moon on the wooden framing which, by the looks of it, taken a beating in the weather. They arrived at the large door and pushed it open using all three of their strength. (Droopy: Ok is it just me or am I really basing this too much on Lord of the Rings?). They looked into the entrance of the hotel, seeing it as a bar, not like an ordinary place. They moved into the front hall and to the counter. A man behind the counter turned around and leaned over the counter in front of them.

"May I help you three young lads?" He asked with a small Irish accent to his tone. The man had a broad chest with a blue plad shirt, which was covered mostly by a large brown beard. His eyes were deep green and he had dark brown hair. He had black pants on with a silver belt covering his waist. The man was about two heads taller than Ray as he straightened himself up.

"Umm, is there a man named Stanley Dickenson present in this hotel?" Ray asked nervously. The man leaned over behind the counter and came up with a large book that made a thud when he placed it on the counter. He opened the book and turned the pages scanning with his green eyes. The Bladebreakers waited a bit shakily for the answer.

"Ahh here ye go" the man said startling the Bladebreakers. He looked up from the book at the teens. "He's in room twenty-five on this floor to the hall way on ye right," he said deeply.

"Thank you sir," Tyson said rushing, bowing his head slightly followed by Max and Ray. They took off down the right hall away from the strange man.

"17...19...21...23...ahh 25," Max said, counting the numbers on the brass labels on the doors. They stopped in front of the door and Tyson reached out his fist to knock.

"Mr. Dickenson are you in there?" Tyson yelled. They waited outside the door until they heard the thumping of a cane and then the door was opened to see the old man.

"Oh my boys, I was so worried about you. When you didn't arrive here earlier I almost had a heart attack," Mr. Dickenson said hugging the three teens (Droopy: Nice job fat pig...make the nice man worry his heart out. Tyson: HEY!!!!!!!).

"I'm glad that you're glad but Kai..." Ray started before Tyson explained everything really fast. (Droopy: Ok in order for this to work you have to read Tyson's speech REALLY fast k??)

"Well it all started when I was standing on the rocks looking at the waterfall even though you told us not to and then Kai came over and tried to grab me and take me away...like the jerk he is...well than the rocks broke and we fell in and then when we grabbed onto the rocks and a giant tree pushed Kai away and then Ray and Max saved me but we don't know where Kai is." Tyson said really fast, taking in a large breath and then exhaling. He looked around the hall and sweatdropped. Ray looked really pissed, his arms crossed and his foot taping angrily. Max sat on the stool standing next to the wall, trying to hold in his laughter and Mr. Dickenson had his eyes wide and his jaw slightly dropped open.

"Ohh my gosh...this is terrible" Mr. Dickenson said wobbling a bit, gripping the doorframe.

"I think it's better to go inside than stand in the hallway," Ray said gesturing with his hands. They moved into the room and closed the room door.

The room wasn't that bad compared to the small size of it. The floor and ceiling were made of wood with red light shinning on them from the glass lantern hanging on the ceiling. The walls were covered with dark green fabric, matching the color on the furniture. The room had a queen size bed with a blue cover and the same green on the pillows. The furniture was cherry consisting of a dresser with a mirror, bench, two seater couch, nightstand, table and a desk. Mr. Dickenson sat on the bench with Tyson and Max on the couch and Ray standing behind his teammates.

"Right now there's nothing we can do in till the sun comes up," Mr. Dickenson sighed placing his hands in his head. "We better get you boys to your room," He added, getting up and walking over to the phone on the nightstand. He dialed a number and started to talk to the owner.

"I hope Kai's all right," Tyson said looking down at the ground. He felt two hands pat him on the back. He looked up into the eyes of Max and Ray.

"Don't feel bad bud, we'll find Kai," Ray said giving his friend a smile.

"Well lets not get all weary now...its time for bed," Max said walking over to the door where the hotel manager was carrying keys. Ray and Tyson followed suit for a good nights rest.

Morning, Ressa's House

Silver eyes blinked open to the sun's light and birds chirping. Groaning, Ressa buried her head under the pillow hoping for more time to sleep until her blankets were cruelly ripped off, allowing the cold air to blow against her body. She shivered slightly and curled into a ball, cursing. Ressa grumbled under her pillow as she used her hands in order to try and find her covers.

"Get up sleep head," her father, said laughing as Ressa growled under her pillow again and tightened her grip on it. "Come on get up. If you get up now I'll make you in charge of the boy, if you refuse you'll have to clean the whole yard and the bathroom," He father added as she bolted up from her lying position.

"ARRR CAN'T YOU EVER GIVE ME A FAIR DEAL?? FINE I'LL TAKE CARE OF THE JERK!" Ressa yelled chucking the pillow at her father who caught it. She gave a frustrated sigh and marched her way into the bathroom. Her father chuckled as she slammed the door, yelling at him.

Bathroom

"ARRR HOW MEAN CAN HE BE?!?!" Ressa screamed, pacing around the bathroom, kicking a small paper ball she had found in the garbage.

'Mistress...why did you choose to take care of the boy?' A small, gentle voice asked the girl. Ressa stopped kicking the ball and stared at the wall for a minute before responding.

"So...I'm not going to spend my day cleaning all the leaves around the property and I'm totally not going to clean the bathroom," She said tossing the paper in the basket.

'Mistress if it is not a bad thing to say...I believe that you like the boy,' the voice said teasingly, chuckling a bit. Ressa froze, a small amount of blush appearing across the bridge of her nose.

"Arisal, I do NOT like him. He's been nothing but a jerk since I saved his sorry ass," Ressa growled, narrowing her eyes at her glowing phoenix bit- beast. "Now, please leave me alone and take your thoughts with you so I can take a peaceful shower." She could hear distant laughing coming from her bit-beast as she left. Ressa sighed as she began to strip off her night clothing then turning on the water, allowing it to warm up before she entered. Ressa tilted her head back, having the water rush down into her hair and down her tired body. She began to think about the conversation that she just had with Arisal.

'Do I really like him? He's just an annoying, stubborn jerk that doesn't care about anyone or anything...just like me at sometimes,' She thought in slight confusion. She stood in the shower relaxing until she realized she had been in the shower for some time now. 'Opps, been in here to long,' She thought as she finished her business in the bathroom. She got out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel and made her way out of the bathroom and to her dresser. There she picked out her clothes for that day.

"Ressa come and get your breakfast" Ressa heard her father call out to her from the kitchen.

"Yea, I'm coming" Ressa lazily called out. She pulled her silver hair into a ponytail and walked out of her room and into the kitchen where her father was reading the paper, drinking coffee. Ressa walked passed him and to the counter where she picked out some bacon, eggs and buttered toast. She placed her things onto the table and then went to the fridge to pour a glass of orange juice. She sat down at the table and started to eat her breakfast in silence in till her father placed his paper down on the table.

"Ressa I'm going into town today and tell the local police that we found this boy. I went through his pockets yesterday and found his wallet and his driver's license. It says that he's from Moscow, Russia and his name is Kai Hiwatari," He said bringing out the leather wallet.

"Joy...his name is Kai and he's from the ice capital of the world...wonder why he's so fucking cold," Ressa said eating her breakfast, facing away from her father.

"Ressa stop using that language. Well I'm leaving and I want you to take care of the boy and try to help him a bit......maybe even give him some breakfast" He said before getting up and walking out the door while placing the mug in the sink.

"Yea I'll talk care of the asshole," Ressa said mimicking her father's words. She got up and placed her dishes in the sink and was about to head to Kai's room until she stopped at his wallet. "Might as well" Ressa said shrugging. She plopped down on the chair and opened the wallet. She gasped as she saw the large amount of credit cards in his wallet.

"Damn he must be rich," She said examining the cards. She opened the flap and gasped again as she looked at the large wad of dollar bills he had. She pulled out the semi-wet bills and saw that most of them were one hundred and fifty dollar bills. She replaced them where they belonged and saw something stick out from the side of the wallet. She pulled it out and noticed it to be a picture. She noticed Kai instantly in the back but smiling. There were four other boys in the picture besides him with medals around their necks and a giant trophy. Ressa blinked in confusion as she looked at the boys. One had dark navy blue hair, blue eyes and slight chubby body. The next one was blonde with blue eyes jumping in the air; she had to guess that he was one of those hyper kids. The one holding the trophy was short and brown hair and glasses. She couldn't see his eyes at all but she didn't care. She noticed the last one to have very long dark hair and brown eyes. He was muscular just like Kai and wearing a foreign outfit she didn't know.

'He's kinda cute' Ressa thought to herself staring at the picture. Suddenly the picture and wallet were ripped out of her hands forcefully as she looked up into crimson eyes of Kai.

"You should learn not to touch other people's things" Kai said coldly giving her a glare.

"It was lying right in the open so I don't really care and what the fuck are you doing out of bed Kai" Ressa said glaring back at Kai.

"I bet you found out my name from my wallet huh?" Kai asked Ressa.

"So what...I was going to ask you anyway," She replayed sharply.

"We'll thanks for the hospitality but I'm leaving" Kai said limping to the door. Before he could reach out to the handle a Beyblade slapped his hand away. Kai shot a glare at Ressa as she reached out her hand to catch her blade.

"Sorry Kai you're not going anywhere unless you get through Arisal and me" Ressa said smirking, placing her blade on her launcher again ready to launch.

"Humph, you blade? Well this might get interesting" Kai said digging in his pocket and brought out his launcher and his Dranzer blade. "Let's go Ressa" Kai said readying him self into a ready position.

"You idiot, you think I'm going to battle you in this condition? I don't think so how about you be smart and put your blade away" Ressa said sending Kai a glare.

"Well than, you afraid?" Kai smirked.

"ARR Fine than but don't yell at me when your on the floor crying because I beat you," Ressa said, readying herself into a launch position.

"Like that will ever happen," Kai said grinning.

"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" They yelled together as their blades were launched onto the kitchen floor. (Droopy: places pan on head and hides under table Take cover everyone this is going to be one heck of a battle... Ressa: snorts and sits on chair And I'm so gonna win... Droopy: ).

The blades circled each other with once and awhile slamming at each other causing sparks to be thrown. Dranzer went around the chair and table legs with Arisal tailing close behind him.

"Kai, don't tell me that you're a chicken?" Ressa said with a smirk.

"Watch and learn Ressa...DRANZER ATTACK!" Kai commanded as Dranzer circled around to slam Arisal hard into the wall. Ressa snarled at Kai as Dranzer continued to grind Arisal against the wall.

"ARISAL GET OUT OF THERE WITH AGILITY!" Ressa commanded. Arisal glowed a bright white until she disappeared completely. Kai gave a sort gasp and looked around the kitchen floor for the glowing black blade. Dranzer spun in one place in front of Kai's feet, waiting for a command.

"All right Arisal, lets come out and ATTACK!!!" Ressa said as out of nowhere the black blade appeared slamming Dranzer hard into the counter, making a huge whole in the wood.

"Shit......" Kai said under his breath as Arisal kept grinding Dranzer into the wood.

"Come on Kai, is that the best you got?" Ressa taunted. Kai snarled as Arisal came around and slammed into Dranzer making a larger hole then before.

"That's it...DRANZER!" Kai commanded. Dranzer's blade glowed bright red and pushed Arisal back.

"What the?" Ressa asked, slightly shocked. Light emitted from the middle of Kai's bit-chip, glowing brightly with the fire phoenix appearing proudly.

"Dranzer go get her!!" Kai said as Dranzer went head on with Arisal. Arisal was forced back to the wall with Dranzer coming back with another attack.

"I can't let him win...ARISAL!!!" Ressa shouted, her blade starting to shine silver and her bit-chip glowing immensely. Kai blinked in confusion at the power and Dranzer stopping in front of him.

'She has a bit-beast?' Kai thought, surprised. Suddenly a burst of light blinded his view. He forced himself to open his eyes and did so; only to be met with a forceful screech. His crimson orbs went wide as he stared at the new bit-beast. She was the opposite picture of Dranzer with bright sliver wings and body. Her claws and intimidating beak was razor sharp and shone with a deep ebony color. She turned her intelligent head towards Dranzer, her dark black eyes shining.

"Kai...meet Arisal," Ressa said with a small smirk. Kai growled and stared at the offending bit-beast.

"Dranzer Fire Emission!!" Kai commanded. Dranzer gave a powerful screech and dashed forward.

"Arisal Sliver Lighting Strike!!" Ressa said with a cry, Arisal charged head into Dranzer. A large explosion of light and power filled the room, sending both bladers sprawling to the ground. Bird screeches and slamming metal was echoing around the room.

"Arrg!" Kai said painfully as he gripped his thigh tightly and dropped to one knee.

"Kai..." Ressa said seeing Kai on the floor in pain. "Arisal return..." she said as the black blade flew back into her palm.

"What the hell did you do that for?" Kai asked angrily, still gripping his thigh (Droopy: happy dance MY FAV INU-YAHSA QUOTE!!!! Random people: She's mentally insane --;;;;;)

"Well you were not going to last in that battle if you kept it up," Ressa said calmly. She picked up Dranzer and then placed it in her pocket.

"Give me my Dranzer..." Kai said dangerously, glaring at Ressa. Ressa sighed and went down to Kai's level.

"Geesh, if you're that stupid...I'm not going to take Dranzer from you! Come on, I have to get you back into bed before my dad gets home!" Ressa said, reaching out her hand to help Kai up.

"I don't need your help," Kai sneered slapping her hand away. He moved away from her and stood up shakily. Ressa balled her hand into a tight ball with a stress mark on her head.

"Ohh really?" Ressa asked, standing up to Kai dangerously. Ressa glared into his eyes, making her pupils into slits. Kai shivered slightly and moved away from Ressa in shock.

"Get away," Kai sneered, gripping onto his leg tightly and shaking while he stood.

"Arrg your pathetic..." Ressa said. She grabbed a hold of Kai's other hand, not holding on to his leg and placed it over her shoulders and wrapped her other arm around Kai's waist.

"What...are you doing?" Kai asked in confusion. He had a slight touch of blush on his cheeks under his eyes as Ressa started to move, tightening her grip around his waist.

"What else, I'm getting you back in bed before my dad gets home," Ressa said gently, leading Kai towards his bedroom. She helped him waddle down the hallway and through the door. She let him on the bed gently, with Kai wincing once and awhile as weight was lowered onto his leg. Kai lay on the bed with his head on the soft pillow, closing his eyes and sighing. He could feel sleep calling at him and he wouldn't fight it this time.

"You ok Kai?" Kai heard Ressa call out to him. He opened his eyes a cracked and nodded.

"I'll be fine..." Kai sighed closing his eyes and no longer fighting back sleep. Ressa looked at him with a small hint of sympathy. With a small sigh she picked up the blanket from the floor and placed it over him.

"Night Kai," Ressa whispered. She walked over to his head and leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. Ressa's eyes softened as she sat down on the chair next to the bed (Droopy: 0.0 jaw drop RESSA YOU KISSED KAI!!! THAT'S MY JOB...I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT! Ressa: puts bag over head and slinks away Droopy: grins proudly).

3 Hours later

The kitchen door opened, letting the outside light shine into the dark room. Bryan flipped on the light switch and stared at his kitchen, which was now destroyed. The white tile floor was slashed and broken into small pieces. The furniture was either broken completely or on the verge of breaking if someone touched it. The walls were covered with holes and slashes.

"I have a hunch that Ressa and the boy did this..." Bryan muttered, moving around the debris into the hall. Then he walked down the hall and into the bedroom. He was about to speak but the site that lay before him left him speechless. Kai was resting peacefully, tucked into the smallest ball he could. Ressa had her head resting on her arms and was on the bed with one of her hands close to Kai's hand. Bryan quietly walked in and picked up a spare blanket and draped it over Ressa's shoulders. He walked out of the room but not until he left one comment.

"I knew that you liked him..." he chuckled softly before leaving, silently closing the door behind him.

Night: Hotel with Ray, Tyson, and Max

The crickets chirped outside the window of the hotel room. Three teens lay in their beds, exhausted after a longs days work.

"I don't believe that we couldn't find him," Tyson sighed in anger, lying on his back with his arms under his head.

"We can't help it, it's going to be hard to find Kai in this large forest and the river..." Ray said, his head resting on his arm.

"I know but...I miss Kai for once..." Tyson said with a small chuckle.

"I miss him too bud," Max said from his bed, "I miss his yelling." The room gave a small chuckle.

"I hope we have better luck tomorrow," Tyson said, snuggling into his sheets. They followed suit and in a matter of minutes they were fast asleep.

Night-Kai's bedroom

Kai groaned as he opened his eyes to a bright candle lit on his dresser. He turned his head away from the light and blinked, startled. He blinked again at the figure at the middle of the bed. Ressa was sound asleep with her head still on her arms and her left hand very close to his. He smiled and moved his hand so it resided on top of hers.

:I knew it! You like her!! You like her!!: Dranzer chuckled in his master's head.

'Shut up bird brain!' Kai grumbled before he snuggled back into his sheets and fell back asleep.

:I told you Arisal, they like each other: Dranzer said to the other bit- beast.

:I agree Dranzer: the phoenix chuckled softly. The last thing Kai heard before slipping back into the realm of dreams was the quiet laughing of the two phoenixes.
