Ray's point of view.

Yes, I do know it can be spelled Rei, but I chose not to spell it that way.

Kinomiya and Marishka91 thank you for your reviews. Kinomiya, thank you for wishing me a happy Halloween. It is really hard to believe that this story has hit its 8th chapter. Two more and it will be at ten. I know it is weird that I am happy about this fact. So, to all of my readers, a big thank you for your support.

Please, so not flame, or read if you do not like the paring/yaoi.

Disclaimer-I do not own beyblade.

"Ray!" Kai yelled. It was all I could make out among all of the silence around me. I could barely hear, let alone see anything clearly. My vision kept blurring in and out and I could hear the sound of my hard breathing. My mind was in shock and I could not remember what had happened. I just sat there; useless in the ruins of the right side of the school. I was shaking, but I had no idea why. Everything just seemed to be going by in slow motion and my head was spinning around in circles trying to figure out what had just happened. Though, I could not bring myself to calm down. It was all I could do to not start crying.

The old school building was partially in ruins and I could smell the awful reek of smoke all around. Dust covered the school's loose skin that lay about in all directions. The dust was everywhere and I could barely see as it was. Life just wanted to be that way today. There seemed to be no end to the pieces of the school, but there did seem to be a weakness as they ventured further away from their main body. I never thought I would be so upset about the school being in this condition, but the site of it made me sick. It was odd considering how much this place freaked me out. Though, my whole body was numb, so being sick right now would make no difference to me.

"Ray, can you hear me?" Kai asked. He had reached me first, getting around the fire that had started up around the school. He knelt down beside me, avoiding the pieces of glass around us. He put his hand on my head and glanced over his shoulder to see if the others were alright, which they were since I could see the blurry figure of King coming out of the school, so I assumed they were alright.

I looked up at Kai, who had my body leaning against his, though this fact did not register in my mind like it would have normally. I opened my mouth to speak, but all that came out was a scream. I started at the broken pieces of wood and the glass in disbelief. I swallowed thickly and then opened my mouth to speak again. "Yeah..." Was the only word that I could mange to force out of my mouth, and even then, it was coughed out through hysterical breathing.

"Good, close your eyes, please Ray," Kai said. For some reason I obeyed without giving him any grief, which was unlike me, though I was nothing like myself right now. I felt Kai shift and then something warm wrapped around my head. It felt like cloth and I was fairly certain it was part of Kai's scarf. I could feel him move again and I could hear him rip the scarf apart quickly. I really had no idea what he was doing, but I could really care less since I had no idea what was going on anymore.

Suddenly I felt Kai's body go ridged against mine and instinctively I opened my eyes to see what was wrong. I saw someone walking towards us. At first I thought it was Lee coming to get us, but as the man got closer, I could see that he was no one I knew. He stopped a few feet in front of us and the loud sound of a helicopter could be heard getting closer behind him. He smiled a sickening smile at me and pointed a gun at Kai.

I struggled in Kai's arms trying to make him move, but he would not move away from me. He just got up, letting my weak arms catch my body as I started to fall backwards. He picked up a piece of glass in his bare hands and positioned himself in front of me. "If you want a fight, I will gladly give you one," Kai hissed. He seemed livid.

The man laughed, and at once it all came flooding back into my mind. That laugh; the voice from the school. There had been a small bomb and it went off. I must have been knocked unconscious by it. Then just as those memories had come back, I started to get my vision and hearing back. I looked down at my body, and I was covered in blood. I had never seen so much red in my entire life and the shock sent me into a hysterical fit of tears.

I heard the gun go off and it quickly brought me back into real world. "Kai!" I screamed, but he was already running at the man. The gun had missed its mark and Kai was not injured. I was so relieved that he was alright, though I wanted him to stop before he got hurt. Though, it seemed like that was not going to happen. Kai threw the piece of glass into the man's arm and pulled Dranzer out of his pocket, but before he had time to launch his faithful beyblade, he was on the ground. I struggled to my feet, but my body would not move an inch, I was too weak. The man had Kai pinned under his feet and he pulled him up by his wrists.

A loud thud washed through the school as the helicopter landed. The man kicked Kai into the Helicopter, making sure to tie his hands and feet together, so he could not fight back. Though, Kai would not yield to the man so easily and continued to struggle on the helicopter's floor. I could hear him slamming his body into varies areas of the helicopter and swearing at the pilot. I had no idea what these people wanted from us, but they were starting to really make me angry.

It just now occurred to me that these were the people who had kidnapped Tyson, or I could guess they were. They probably planned to take out all of the Bladebreakers, which meant that Max and Kenny were in danger. This thought. Along with Kai being captured, brought my mind into a deep sorrow. How could I let something like this happen? What kind of a friend am I?

"Kai! Damn it!" I swore at myself and forced me body to move, but someone stopped me. I looked to my side to see King. He smiled at me and knelt down with me, making me sit down. "Ray, I promise you, nothing will happen to Kai. Anything for the Bladebreakers," King said. I gave him a weird look, but before I could ask him, he was gone. Man, he was getting weirder and weirder by the day, but who was I to say that to him. At least I could rely on him.

"Ariel!" King yelled as the blade ripped from its launcher and right into the man's side, drawing blood and his attention. He aimed his gun at King and quickly pulled the trigger. The bullet hit King's side and he winced, but it did not halt his advance. King was at the man before he had time to use the gun again. He kicked him across the face, but he could not keep this pace up with the bullet wound and was slowing down as the pain increased. Taking advantage of King's weakness, the man bashed him in the side with his elbow, striking the wound dead on. King yelped in pain and fell to his knees in front of the man. Blood dripping from his mouth and he looked over at Kai with weak eyes.

"Fool, what the heck are you trying to prove?!" Kai yelled. King forced himself onto his feet, very much to Kai's anger. The man grabbed King's side and threw him into the ground. King let the pain wash through his body as his eyes weakly watched the blood pore from his side. The wound was growing with each and every hit it took, but King would not give up. Covered in blood and injured, he would not let us down. He got back up, slowly, and ran at the man again. Though, this time, King was aiming for the helicopter's door and Kai. The man went to grab him again, but King avoided his hands and rushed to the Helicopter. He jumped threw the door and untied Kai's hands, though he did not have enough time to untie his legs. The man was coming at him. King jumped out and pulled Kai onto the ground. Kai landed on the ground with a thud and very annoyed eyes.

Kai dragged his body away from the helicopter and towards me. He was unable to do much and I could see the gilt in his eyes. Once he was a few feet from the man, he stopped and looked back over at King, of whom he thought had been following him. It turned out that King was still trying to keep the man from kidnapping Kai and me. This only made me feel even more useless then I already did.

"Get out of my way, you pest!" The man yelled, but the person in the helicopter glared at him. The man glanced at Kai and then, with a grunt, grabbed King by the back of the neck and threw him into the helicopter. He jumped on after him and the helicopter entered the sky. Kai got up, having untied the ropes with a piece of glass and aimed Dranzer at the helicopter, but it was too late. The helicopter was too far away now. They had gotten away.

"Idiot…" I could hear Kai say under his breath as he picked up Ariel from the ruble. He whispered a few choice words, before he looked back over at me. He walked over to me and dropped the beyblade in front of me without a word. He then proceeded to go find the others. Who were probably lost or stuck somewhere because of Daichi or Zeo. I watched him as he walked back into the building, by now someone had called the fire department and I could hear them coming. I looked down at my feet at King's beyblade and picked it up. I started it for only a few seconds before bursting out into tears.
