You Think I Did What Now?!
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did I do!?
That's what I keep asking myself. Kai had never looked at me like that. Not even that time I got grape fruit juice on his scarf. Sure he was mad, but not that mad. After he had left the kitchen this morning we heard the front door slam and we haven't seen him since. It's getting late and I'm worried.
What did I do?
I was sitting on my window ledge looking outside. It wasn't snowing but the grey clouds looked like they could burst any second.
"Ray?" I turned around to see who called my name. " you have to start getting ready." Tala walked in with a plastic bag and a briefcase.
" I don't want to go." I turned away from him to the window. I heard laughing and looked down. Max and Tyson were having a snow ball fight.
"What do you mean you don't want to go?!"
"I mean, I want to stay here."
"But why?" I heard Tala set down the items in his hands and sat down on my bed.
"I'm not in the mood to go anymore, and," I looked down at my hands. " I want to know what I did to cause Kai to be so angry with me."
"One, you can't not go. And two, I don't know why he's mad at you."
I rounded on him. "He was speaking freaking Russian! You have to know what he said!"
He looked away from me as he spoke. "You don't want to know what he said."
"If I didn't want to know I wouldn't have asked!" I got up and sat down next to him on the bed. "Now tell me."
He looked down at me. "No."
"Tala I-"
"I am not saying what he said, so stop asking." I knew with the face he gave me that the conversation was finished. I clenched my teeth in anger. I wanted to know! Maybe that could explain why he was so upset with me. "now come on." he got up and grabbed the big plastic bag and took it off and showed me what was underneath it.
"No!" I screamed.
"What? I bought it, it fits you, you're going to wear it." he shoved it at me.
" I said no!" I pushed it back.
"Well it doesn't matter what you say because I'm bigger and stronger than you." he smirked.
"Yes but you forgot one thing grasshopper."
He arched his eyebrow at me. "And what might that be?"
"I'm a ninja!"
"What?!"
I grabbed his suitcase and threw it at him. It landed right on his face, causing him to topple backwards. I took my chance and ran. Brilliant! I'm brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Ahahaha!(1) I would have been even more brilliant if I hadn't run into something and fallen on the floor.
"Ow!" I rubbed my poor butt. I looked up at what knocked me down. "Bryan!"
"RAY KON!" Tala screamed from my room.
"Ah oh." I jumped up and hid behind Bryan. "Help me!"
"Bryan, darling. Please let me have Ray, he's been a naughty kitty and must be punished." he said in his sweetest voice. It sounded so fake it almost made me gag. Bryan looked over his shoulder at me.
"Wha'd you do?" he asked.
"N-nothing! He's trying to make me wear a dress to the party tonight!"
Bryan sighed and looked back at his boyfriend. "Tal."
"Don't Tal me! I'm just trying to help him get with Kai!"
"By making him wear a dress? Kai's gay, he wouldn't like someone in a dress." OH MY GOD! HE SAID KAI WAS GAY! That means I have a chance right?! Well, if he ever talks to me again.
"You're gay and you like it." Tala said. My eyes widened. Had they forgotten I'm here?
"I'm bi though, it's different."
"But bry!" Tala whined.
"No." he grabbed me by the back of my shirt and brought me face to face with the devil, I mean Tala.
He raised his eyebrow at me. "Devil?" Bryan let go of me.
"What? Devil? Why would you call yourself that?" I widened my eyes all innocently at him and put my finger to my chin. He shook his head at me and walked back in my room. I looked back at Bryan and smiled. "Thanks, I owe you one."
"Hn." he turned around and walked in the room he and Tala were staying in and closed the door. Oh well, I tried to be nice. I walked back into my room. Tala was sitting on my bed, a sad look on his face. Guilt started forming. Crap! No! Must resist the urge to be nice!
'Well, he is just trying to help you and Kai get together.'a little voice in my head whispered to me.
'Ya but he wanted me to wear a dress for god sakes!' I told it.
'Still, he believed it would help.'
'But I don't want to wear the dress!'
'I Never said anything about the dress.'
'Than what-' just as I was about to ask a lock of my hair fell into my eye. Oh. I see. I sat next to Tala.
"Tala?" he looked sideways at me. "Do you want to do make my hair look nice for the party?" Tala smiled.
"Can I really?" he asked. I nodded. "Thanks Ray!" he hugged me.
"Y-your welcome. But can you let me go? I c-cant breath."
He did as I asked. "Sorry."
"Just let me take a quick shower and dry my hair, then you can do anything you want to it, as long as you don't make it look girly"
he nodded and I walked out of my room and into the bathroom. I turned on the shower then stripped off my clothes and got in, pulling the curtain closed. I let the hot water run down my face. It felt good. It helped get rid of some of my worries. But only some. My mind couldn't help but wonder back to the memories of this morning. I closed my eyes and saw the glare Kai had given me. It sent shivers down my spine. I want to know why. I sighed. I'm not going to have a good time tonight, I know it.
Will Kai even go?
Do I want him to go?
What would I do if he did go?
These were the questions that went threw my mind as I washed my hair. When I was done I shut off the water and grabbed my towel. I dried myself off quickly and put my pj's back on and towel dried my hair as much as possible before I went back into my room. Tala had changed into a black suite with a red flower pined to his chest. I didn't comment on his appearance instead I walked in my closet and got out my suit. It was white with a black tie. I quickly changed and started to attempt to tie my tie.
"Son of a" I murmured as it went into a knot.
Tala sighed and pushed away my hands. "You should really learn how to tie a tie."
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'll learn later." when he was finished, he sat me down on a stool. He started to play with my hair and I purred softly.
"You are one strange guy." he said.
I didn't say anything. I closed my eyes and just let him run his fingers threw my hair. I felt a brush pulling at my hair, then he started tugging it lightly. When he stopped I opened my eyes and looked to my left at the mirror. My hair was done in a simple braid, it looked nice though. But there was something missing. I went to grabbed my red head band but Tala stopped me. I looked at him confused, I never leave the house without it. Why wasn't he letting me put it on?
" I have something else for you." he let go of my hand and went over to my bed and opened the briefcase. My eyes twitched when I saw what was in it.
"You are not putting makeāup on me!" why he had make-up I would never know.
He chuckled softly and shook his head. "No, I'm not putting make-up on you." I looked at him confused. He opened a compartment in the case and took out a black thick ribbon with the ying yang symbol. "Here" he held it out to me. I smiled at him.
"Thanks Tala!" I looked back at the mirror and placed the ribbon around my head.
"Hey! Tala! Ray! Are you guys ready to go?!" Tyson yelled from downstairs.
"Coming!" Tala said then motioned for me to stand up and twirl. " I still think you would have looked better in the dress."
"Ya, no." we exited my room together and made our way down the stairs. Everyone was waiting in the living room.
"Finally, jeez! I thought Tala had killed you then made a break for it out your window." Tyson said to me smiling. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a green flower pined to his chest.
"Ha ha, very funny." Tala said.
I looked around at everyone. I mentally gasped. Kai was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. I hadn't even heard him come in the house after this morning. Holy mother of cat food. (Okay why the hell did I just say that?) He. Looks. So. Hot. He was wearing a blood red shirt with a black tie and pants. Even though his outfit was simple, he made it look extravagant. I felt my stomach do a flip flop. He's still mad, I can tell. He's ignoring us more than he usually does. I sighed. What did I do!?
"Ray? Is there something the matter?" Max asked, placing his hand on my shoulder, he was wearing a green suit with a dark blue flower. My throat hurt to bad to say anything so instead I shook my head.
"Well then come on! Let's go!" Hilary said. She was wearing a simple long purple dress. She opened he door and everyone started to head out. Kai pushed away from the wall and silently walked out the door behind Max. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Was I happy he didn't look at me or upset? I felt a hand on my back, I looked behind me at Tala who motioned with his head for me to go. I did as he wished then looked at my surroundings. It was dark by now and everyone had on there Christmas lights. I was the last to climb into the limo that would bring is to the party. Tala had hurried in front of me so he could sit next to Bryan. It was dark in the limo, the only light was that of the ceiling which was a neon purple. Odd but cool.
"It would have been prettier if it was pink." Mariah said. She was wearing a really short tight pink dress. I rolled my eyes. What was with her and pink?! No one said anything about her comment. I don't think anyone really cared. I was silent the whole ride there, I felt like I was going to hurl so I kept my mouth shut. If someone asked me a question I merely nodded or shook my head. I didn't dare look over at Kai, instead I watched as the houses went by, it helped ease my stomach.
When the limo came to a halt, we all got out and walked into the hall. It was decorated with white lights and garland.
"Garland!" Max said.
I raised my eyebrow at him. "Yes Max it's garland, calm down."
"No! I mean it's Garland!" he pointed.
"Yes! It's garland, we know! Why-"
"Hey guys." I looked to my left at who spoke. It was Garland. OH! He meant Garland! The person! Oopsies. "How are you guys?" he asked.
"Fine, how about you? What you've been up to?" Tyson asked.
"Nothing really" he winked and grinned. Then looked at Tala. "What about you Tala, you okay?"
"Well, I'm fine, but I can think of better things that I could be doing right now." he said winking and wrapping his arm around Bryan. My eye twitched. I did NOT want to think about that! After Tala had gotten out of the hospital, Garland apologised for almost killing him and the both of them have been on good terms ever since.
"Garland!" I looked over his shoulder and saw Brooklyn come up behind him and hold his hand. "Finally! You guys are here!" he smiled then let go of Garlands hands and hugged all of us. Even Kai and Bryan. Wow that guy had some guts! "Well, come inside! Everyone is waiting to see you!" we all walked in the dancing area. It was dark when we entered then a spot light shined on us. I squinted against it.
"Ah! Since the Bladebreakers and companions are finally here, lets begin shall we?" It was Mr. Dickinson who was talking on the microphone. However he handed it to the DJ and the spot light vanished as music started to play.
"OH! I LOVE this song! Come on Bri!" Tala grabbed Bryan's hand and Ran to the Dance floor.
"Let's go Maxie!" Tyson also pulled Max to the dance floor, Mariah, Hilary and Lee right behind them. Kenny sighed loudly and walked calmly over to them. I watched them dance and smile. They were having a good time already. Not only them, the rest of our beyblade community was here, The rest of the BEGA league, The all Starz, Barthez Battalion, F-Dynasty, The Majestics, even the Saint Shields had come out. They all were having a good time. I sighed and looked at my feet. Everyone except me. I walked over to one of the gigantic windows and looked out it.
Kai.
I felt tears start to form in my eyes. I shut my eyes tight. No! I can't cry! Not now! I held them back as best as I could. I couldn't hold back the questions that I had asked myself over and over again today. What did I do!? It frustrated me that I didn't know and that I was just asking the same question over and over again.
Maybe you should stop being a coward and just ask him directly. The voice in my head whispered to me.
'But I'm scared! I don't want him to tell me that he hates me. No! I can't hear that! It would hurt too much! It hurts just thinking about it!' I told it.
You don't know until you ask.
I sighed. It was right, but. I bit my lip and shook my head. No. I wont ask, not yet anyways.
"Ray! Ray! Hey Ray! Hello!" I opened up my eyes and looked to my left. Tala was waving his hand in my face. "Jeez finally, I've been trying to get your attention for 5 minutes!" I blinked at him.
"Really?!"
"No. I just like to exaggerate everything." he winked at me. "Anywho, come with me." me grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. "Now. You guys are going to dance!" he let go of my hand. What is he talking about? I looked up. Kai! My eyes widened and I looked at Tala. He rolled his eyes and pushed me against Kai. Silently Kai wrapped his arms around my waist. I guess I have to. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I noticed that the song had changed to something slow.
I couldn't look at him in the eyes, what would I see? Annoyance? Hate? I didn't know.
"When were you going to tell me?" I looked up at him surprised. My heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife. His eyes showed nothing, like were like ice.
"W-what are y-you talking about?" I asked.
"You know what I'm talking about!" he yelled at me. He wasn't holding me anymore nor was I holding him.
"No I don't"
"When were you going to tell me that the only reason you stayed here so long was to get away from Mariah! And the fact that now that your marriage is cancelled your just going to go back to China!"
My eyes widened. "How-" I whispered.
He shook his head at me and glared. "I over heard you talking to Lee last night! I know everything!" his hands were in tight balls at his sides.
"K-kai I -"
"NO! I don't want to hear it! Just go back to China!" The knife that was in my heart was ripped out, the pain was unbearable. The tears were running down my face but I didn't care. Then I got mad. I looked at him dead in the eye and then I went up on my tip toes and kissed him. I kissed him as passionately as I could then broke it as suddenly as I had started it and looked back up at him. He was shocked.
"That's why I stayed! And that's why I wasn't going back to China! But now that I know how you feel, I might as well leave!" I didn't wait for him to answer instead I just turned around and ran out of the hall. I heard people calling my name as I left, but I didn't care, all I wanted to do was get out of there as fast as I could.
So I finally found out the truth.
He didn't love me.
The words replay over and over in my head. Taunting me.
He doesn't love me! I let out a sob and ran faster down the street, away from that place, away from Kai.
Kai's POV
I watched as he ran out of the hall, tears running from his eyes. "W-what?" I said out loud. I was so confused! Then I felt someone punch me in the face.
"You bastard!" I looked down at who punched me. "How could you say that!? YOU DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE REST OF OUR CONVERSATION!" Lee yelled at me. "The reason why he stayed was because he's in love with you! Even though I don't know why anyone would love someone as cold hearted as you!"
"He loves me?" I chocked out the words. Oh god. What have I done! "RAY!" I pushed past Lee and ran after Ray.
Ray's POV
I leaned against a wall and tried to catch my breath. I looked around, I was in a dark alleyway. I had run blindly for what felt like hours, but I new it had only been minutes. I heard footsteps. I looked in the direction they were coming in.
"Well, well, well, look at what we have here. A stray" a group of guys were walking towards me. A shiver of fear went down my spine. I backed up slowly then turned around and ran. But was stopped when I got to a wall. I looked up at it. It was too high to climb.
"No where to go." one of them said. " you look off lee cold. Why don't you come here and we'll warm you up?" he stepped up and held out his hand. I clenched my jaw and shook my head. "Ahh, come on, don't be like that! We're just trying to help." he smiled and took another step towards me.
"Don't come any closer!" I tried to shout, but it came out as a whisper. They just laughed and continued to close me in. They backed me up against the wall, I closed my eyes as one of them grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me off the ground.
"You have long hair for a guy, why is that? Trying to be something your not? No matter, I like to have something to tug onto." my eyes snapped open in fear. No. This can't be happening! I was thrown onto the ground then and someone sat on top of me. He pushed his lips against mine and forced his tongue down my throat. No! I tried to push him off of me but someone just held down my arms and feet.
"Ray? RAY! Get the fuck off of him!" I heard someone yell then a grunt and my arms were free. I used them to punch the guy on top of me in the face. He pulled away from me and then jumped off of me.
"Who the fuck are you? Doesn't matter, your going to die anyways." one of them shouted.
"Ray! Run!" I got up and tried to run away but someone grabbed me by my hair. I screamed in pain and I was pulled back by it. He pulled me close to his body then pressed something cold up against my neck. My eyes widened as it occurred to me what it was. A knife.
"Fuck, you're going to pay for hurting my gang!" he shouted. I looked around and saw the gang members on the ground bleeding badly. When did that happen?
"I swear to god, if you hurt him in anyway, I'll rip out your throat!" I looked up at who spoke. Kai? KAI! What was he doing here?! Why did he say that? He doesn't want me! Why should he care what happens to me!
"Oh yeah? Let's just see if you can." the knife left my throat. Then was trusted into my chest. I gasped against the pain.
"RAY!" Kai screamed then lunged for the man. When I was free of his grasp I fell to my knees, then my stomach. I couldn't do anything. It hurt to bad. I felt the blood rushing out of the wound. So this is how I was going to die. In a alleyway. I faintly heard the fight that was going on between Kai and the gang member. My breathe started to slow as the pain started disappearing. So this was what death felt like. It wasn't so bad. At least it didn't hurt. I felt myself being rolled over. I opened my eyes slightly to see who had moved me.
Kai.
He was okay. Thank god. At least I could die knowing he was safe. "RAY! Oh god! There's so much blood! Ray don't you die! Don't you die on me! You hear me!" I closed my eyes as I felt water droplets on my face. Is he crying? No he can't be. Why would he? "Ray please don't leave me! I never got to tell you how much you mean to me!" his voice was so far away, I could barley hear it. "Please Ray! YOU CAN'T DIE! I LOVE YOU!"
