Summary: Mariah likes Kai but Kai ignores her. Boris approached Mariah and offers her something she can't refuse, a chance to get Kai to acknowledge her, but at what cost? KaiMariah, TalaOC, MariahOC (Eventually yuri)

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblades. All I own is the characters that are not recognised from the show and the plot.

Last time on IYAM

"3, 2,1 let it rip," the girls yelled. Mariah pulled her ripcord, sending out her pink beyblade. Phoenix pulled the trigger on her gun launcher, sending out a red beyblade which had a black defence ring. Phoenix looked up and studies Mariah for a few minutes before studying the pink beyblade.

"Galux, cat bites," Mariah said. The lynx bitbeast rose out of Mariah's bitbeast and attack.

"Korari dodge," Phoenix said. the red beyblade moved out of the way.

"Fire breath," Phoenix smirked. A red female wolf with gold wings rose out of Phoenix's beyblade. The wolf breathed fire over the lynx sending it out of the bey dish.

"Not bad, but you need a lot of work. Give me you're beyblade and I'll improve its stats," Phoenix said. Mariah handed Galux over to Phoenix.

"Go back to the room," Phoenix ordered before walked out in the opposite direction. Mariah obeyed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now

"Sir. Here's Mariah's beyblade. I think she wants to keep he colour. Just and black or white to break it up a bit," she said as she handed Galux to Boris. Boris nodded before Phoenix walked out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mariah sat on the bed, drinking from a bottle of water when Phoenix entered the room.

"Mariah come with me," she said as she grabbed a chair and headed towards the bathroom. Mariah gulped down the water and followed.

"Sit," Phoenix ordered before she turned around towards the sink, "What did you want to say to me back there?"

"That I'm not after Tala," Mariah blurted out. Phoenix turned around and a smile appeared on her face.

"I suppose the others told you?" Phoenix said, her tone was a bit softer. Mariah nodded.

"Thought so," Phoenix smiled. Phoenix grabbed the bandana in Mariah's hair and pulled it out letting Mariah's hair hang freely.

"What are you doing?" Mariah asked.

"Trust me. You'll see soon," Phoenix smirked as she grabbed the bangs that framed Mariah's face and brushed it back. The bangs were as long as the rest of her hair.

"Lean back," she heard Phoenix say. Mariah obeyed. Phoenix knelt down and begun to spread a black substance over the bottom of Mariah's hair.

"Stay like that for ½ an hour," Phoenix said as she turned and pulled off some plastic gloves. She placed them in the bin before walking out of the bathroom, leaving Mariah to think of what she had just done.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did you do what I think you just did?" Dynasty asked as Phoenix walked out of the bathroom.

"Depends on what you thought. And you'll just have to see later," Phoenix smirked. Dynasty and Dana looked at each other and shrugged. Phoenix grabbed a bottle of water and begun sipping at it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

½ an hour later, Phoenix walked back into the bathroom. Mariah had her eyes closed.

"Times up," Phoenix smirked. Mariah's yellow cat eyes opened. She sighed.

"Kneel over the shower," Phoenix said. Mariah felt stupid but knelt down and placed her head in the shower cubicle. Phoenix turned on the shower and proceeded to wash the black substance out of Mariah's hair. After Mariah dried her hair, she looked down and nearly screamed as she saw black.

"What have you done?" she turned and faced Phoenix.

"Look it the mirror," was all Phoenix said. Mariah slowly turned towards the mirror. In it she saw her own reflection. The only difference was that the tips of her hair were now black. Phoenix brushed her hair up into a ponytail with bangs framing her face.

"You like?" Phoenix whispered into her ear.

"OMG," she said slowly, "I love it." she turned around, making Phoenix let go of her hair and hugged her.

"I did it because I can't stand to see a lot of pink. You'll need to change you're outfit. You can keep one item pink," Phoenix said as she walked out the door with Mariah behind her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"She dyed your hair?" Dana asked with her eyes wide as she changed out of her usual silver tank top and black pants.

"Yeah. I like it," Mariah said.

"It's the new you," Dynasty smiled as she threw her clothes on the bed. Her usual attire consisted of black pants with red flames on the bottom, a dark blue sleeveless low cut top, black fingerless gloves and black high heeled shoes.

"I never knew you loved to play hairdresser," Dana said to Phoenix.

"There's a lot you don't know about me," she shrugged, "and I don't intend to share it."
