HEY! …I left you a cliffy. Heh, heh, heh. Anyway here we go. I'm skipping the charity blade event. And I am going to skip right through the tournament because…lets face it, its pretty boring.


Secrets Revealed.

Jade opened her eyes to see the guy who was threatening her lying in a pool of blood. "Are you okay?" A tall, muscular man with eye length black hair, and deep brown eyes walked up to her.

"Uhm…y-yeah," came her reply. "Who are you?"

"Joshua Russo. I was sent here by my boss," came his reply. Jade didn't know weather to feel relieved or afraid.

"Why did that man try and shoot me?" She asked.

"He thought you were...never mind that, all that matters is that you're safe."

"Yeah, but WHY did he try to shoot me?"

"I am not allowed to inform you of that, all you have to know is that he thought you were someone else."

"Let's walk and talk, this alley smells like fish," Jade suggested. Joshua nodded.

"So...where are you headed?" Josh asked.

"To the hotel around the corner, I'm staying there with some of my friends, they're champion Beybladers you know."

"Uh huh...what team? I used to beyblade...but I do not anymore."

"The Bladebreakers," Jade said feeling completely comfortable with this stranger.

"Are you okay?" Josh asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine...why?" Jade replied.

"Because, I am a complete stranger and you are telling me where you are staying and who you are staying with, normally people would run or try and get away from a stranger who asked them questions like that."

"Well...I feel comfortable around you, you saved me, and I give people the benefit of the doubt." Joshua nodded and walked her up to the hotel doors, they bid farewell and he left. Jade sighed as she got to the door of their hotel room and walked in. When she got there she noticed that it was only Rayne and Kenny up still. Rayne was trying to get Kenny to go to bed because he had to go to the match and he needed to be rested. Kenny finally gave in and went to bed.

"Hey Jade! Have a good time?" Rayne asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it was a blast met people, did things, you know," Jade replied still a little spaced out.

"Ahuh...are you okay?" Rayne asked with concern. Jade didn't answer because she was in her own little world. "Hello...Earth to Jade!"

"Oh, uh...yeah I'm fine, but I think that I'm going to go to bed now." Rayne nodded and let her go to bed. Rayne sighed and followed her in soon and she went to bed.

The next morning Jade woke up to find an empty room she went into the kitchen to see nobody there but Rayne watching the preliminaries for the beyblading tournament on the television. "Top of the marnin' to yea," Jade said as she walked in.

"Marnin'," Rayne replied. "Are you hungry? There's some cereal left." Jade nodded and went and ate some.

"So…why didn't you go?" Jade asked.

"To the match? Because I have to watch this kitten like a hawk."

"I see. So will you be going to watch anymore?"

"Yeah, I'm going to the finals I can leave her here then...why?"

"No reason," Jade said trying to hide her lie.

"Uh huh," Rayne said raising an eyebrow, knowing that Jade was lying. The only sound heard in the room was the drone of the television. It was killing Jade to not tell Rayne about the man that tried to kill her assuming she was Rayne. She didn't want to tell Rayne because she has enough problems as it is and Josh said that they'd be safe. Then she started wondering if Joshua would be alright. She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice Rayne waving her hand in front of her face.

"Hello. Earth to Jade! HELLO!" Rayne yelled.

"Oh…what," Jade said snapping out of her daze.

"Are you alright?" Rayne asked.

"Yeah…fine, just a little tired is all," she lied. Rayne didn't buy it, but didn't say anything.

"Well…you should get ready, the boys will be back soon." Rayne looked at the television. "And by the looks of it they will want to celebrate." Jade nodded and left to get ready.

'Wonder what's eating her? It isn't like Jade to keep quiet, there must be something wrong.' Rayne thought. She got up and fed her cat, turned off the television and then started to make sandwiches. Jade walked out of their room and looked at her funny.

"You know it isn't your job to cook for these guys, they can do it themselves," Jade said.

"You're right, here, take a sandwich," Rayne said and put all of the stuff away and started eating her sandwich. They sat down and talked and laughed and Rayne forgot all about Jade's silence. Just then the boys, Grandpa and Mr. Dickinson walked in.

"Hey you guys!" Jade and Rayne said in unison.

"Whoa…that was creepy," Max said.

"If I didn't know any better I would think that you guys were twins," Ray said. Jade and Rayne looked at each other and made the whole 'we-don't-look-anything-like-each-other' look.

"Congratulations," Rayne said as she closed the door and walked up to Kai.

"Thanks," he said and exhaled. Rayne looked up at him, and then back down again. Kai rolled his eyes and said, "What."

"What about what?" Rayne asked.

"Well, every time you do that you have some problem to tell me assuming I'm going to give you an answer you will want to hear," Kai replied.

"It's probably nothing, it's just Jade is acting really weird. Not like Jade at all," Rayne replied.

Kai rolled his eyes and said, "Well, maybe she doesn't want you to know something. Aren't there things that you don't want her to know?" Rayne was silent and nodded. She looked up and smiled and Kai had to fight the urge to take her into his arms. He didn't like seeing her like this but he wasn't going to lie about what he felt. 'Hah, lying to Rayne about how I feel...I am starting to suspect that I do in fact love her...' Kai said to himself as he walked away. Rayne watched him leave and sighed. Rayne went to her room and took out a picture of her, Robert, and their parents when she was little. She felt a little upset and had the hugest urge to phone Robert. So she picked up the phone and called Robert.

"Hello," Jeeves said as he answered the phone.

"Hey Jeeves! Is Robert there?" Rayne asked.

"No he is not Rayne. He is out with Amélie, would you like me to give him a message?"

"No, it's okay...I'll just call later."

"Alright, goodbye Rayne."

"Bye Jeeves." Rayne hung up the phone and laid on her bed and fell asleep. She was awaken the next morning by her kitten meowing for food. Rayne groaned, rolled her eyes, and got out of bed carrying her kitten into the kitchen. She was looking around and noticed that the hotel room was empty. 'That's strange...I was sure Jade was going to stay behind with me...wonder where she is.' After a closer inspection of the hotel room she noticed that Jade was up on the balcony.

"Good morning," Rayne said as she stood on the balcony with Jade.

"Don't you mean good afternoon?" Jade asked with a smirk. Rayne rolled her eyes and Jade laughed. They both went inside and made food and Rayne got dressed. Soon the boys came home and they celebrated yet another win. The next few days went by really fast with the blade breakers winning every single one of their matches. And then the finals came. Tyson beat Steve, Ray lost to Eddie and Max beat Michael.

"Here's a toast to…er…us! We beat the All Stars, and we did it as a team," Rayne said, they all clinked glasses and drank their orange juice.

"Great News everyone," Mr. Dickinson said and they all turned to look at him. "You will be going on a cruise to Russia, where they will be holding the world championships!"

"A cruise? Yay!" Jade said. They all agreed and finished their dinner. After dinner they all chilled out and watched T.V, until they got a call asking for Jade.

"Jade…it's for you," Tyson said.

"Oh," Jade picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi Jade, its Joshua," He said in a raspy voice, "can you meet me at the entrance for the hotel?"

"Uhm…sure, I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay." Josh said as he hung up the phone. Jade hung up the phone and informed everyone that she had to go meet someone and would be back soon. Rayne shot her a suspicious look but Jade shrugged it off. Jade got to the lobby of the hotel and saw Joshua there he looked as if he was beat up pretty bad. "Oh my god Josh…what ha-"

"Shh," he said and dragged her outside and to a place where they could talk. "Okay, where are you headed next?" he asked.

"What happened?" Jade asked.

"That night we talked someone followed us and then when you got to your hotel they jumped me. I've been in hiding since, he tried to get me to tell him who you were."

"Did you tell him?"

"No, I escaped before he could get it out of me. But that doesn't matter anymore, what I need to know is where you guys are headed next?"

"We're going on a cruise to Russia."

"Okay..."

"Why?"

"No reason, just curious...I've been watching the blade breakers on the TV and I think that they're awesome and I wanted to know where they were going next," Josh lied. Josh was an excellent liar, well he must be considering his job is to lie, and managed to pull one over on Jade.

"Alright so...you called me to ask me that...do you need money or something?" Jade asked completely oblivious "You know what? I think you need money so here." Jade said giving him a wad of cash.

"Uh...no I don't want your mon-" Josh was cut off.

"Take it. You better go before they find out where you are." Jade said interrupting him. Joshua nodded and left. Jade went back into the hotel and up to the room to find the boys and Rayne playing Rummy Gin.

"Welcome back!" Rayne said looking at Jade.

"Hey…I'm really tired, I'm going to go to bed," Jade said. Rayne nodded and she left. After she left she gave Kai a concerned glance and he shrugged. They finished their game and decided that it was time to go to bed. When Rayne got into her room she saw her kitten sleeping on her pillow. She put on her pajamas and went to bed. They all woke up, got ready and boarded the ship.

After Jade had given Josh some money he went and purchased a ticket for the cruise to Russia. Then he decided that he was going to make a call, a very special call. He went to a pay phone and dialed a number. "Hello?" the person on the other line asked.

"Hey boss we've got a problem," Josh said.

"And what is that?" Josh's boss asked.

"The twin has showed up...I'm going to need some help."

"I can't send anyone else there, you're going to have to do it!"

"But I can't! I can't watch the two of them at once!"

"Well, you are going to have to because I have nobody to help you."

"Why don't YOU come down and help? They are your sisters!" Josh yelled into the phone.

"And what would that accomplish? Anthony wants all three of us and if I watch over them myself he'll have all three of us!"

"...Alright...I'm sorry I'm just at my wits end right now," Josh said, "But I better go...Anthony probably has every single pay-phone tapped." The person on the other line made a noise of agreement and hung up the phone.
