ME: Hi everyone. I'm updating again.
KAI: You're not hyper again are you? *cringes*
ME: Of course not. I haven't drunk any coke.
*BladeBreakers sigh with relief*
ME: Yet.
*BladeBreakers sweatdrop*
MAX: Kai, do the disclaimer, dude.
KAI: Why me?
MAX: Because Tyson's eating, Kenny's trying to update our files, Lady Blade
is trying to keep Ray calm and I'm looking for a newspaper.
KAI: Why the hell are you looking for a newspape? And I thought Ray was cool
about the whole evil past thing?
MAX: Well, Ray saw Lady Blade's brother's Tarantula's. It got out of it's
cage.
KAI: So why do you want to squash it?
MAX: I don't. I just want to get it back in it's cage.
KAI: Then what's the paper for?
MAX: Keeping me occupied until Lady Blade manages to calm Ray down.
KAI: *sweatdrops* O.K. Lady Blade WarAngel, does not BeyBlade.

Tragic Past 3-Ray's Fic.
Chapter Five - One Conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RAY'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Father dragged me out of the car. We were at one of his office buildings.
"Serena, you and the boy, are to go up to the top floor. You will wait for me
to come and collect you." father said to Mom. "We're not parcels." I said.
Father glared at me. I know I was pushing my luck but I'd been free to say
what I felt, for so long, that the words popped out. I went upstairs with
Mom. The top floor of the office buildings was where I had to stay, when I
was young. Father would force me to come along with him on four business
trips every year. And I had to go with father every weekend, and learn about
the family business.
I despised learning about something, that was anything to do with my father.
The top floor was where father used to send me when he was in his important
meetings. Mom and I got out of the lift at the top floor. The top floor was
just one large room. It had a T.V. video and stereo. There was a sofa and
there was a desk and chair. There was also a computor in another corner. I
saw a pool table. I don't remember that from before, so father must've just
added it recently. I saw Mom go and sit on the sofa. I stayed standing. "Ray
are you allright?" Mom questioned me. I could tell that she was sad for me.
"I'm allright Mom. I missed you, Teri and Brian, a hell of alot." I said. I
smiled to reassure her. She smiled back at me. "I missed you too, son." Mom
said to me. I sat on the sofa and hugged her. She winced, and hugged me back.
"What's wrong Mom?" I asked her. She just looked at me. "My stomach aches
alot." She said to me. Oh come on. I know better then that. Father probably
broke her ribs last time he hit her.
I sat and talked to Mom. I told her about everything that had happened since
I left the village. She seemed happy to hear about it all. How I went from
Tournament to Tournament. How I met the other BladeBreakers. How I did what I
loved most. "Mom, why do you look so sad?" I asked her. "I'm just happy that
you were able to feel free. Even if it has been only for a short time. I have
missed you terribly." Mom said. I decided that if I was going to escape
father, then I had to do it soon. So I started to think of a plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~KAI'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had won all of our matches that day, at the Tournament. We all rode back
to the hotel in silence. All of us knowing that Ray wasn't with us. It made
our victory seem hollow, somehow. I used to think that winning was
everything. Now that I had learned to trust my team-mates. I realised that
winning wasn't everything, and that teamwork was a big part of it too.
When we got back to the hotel, none of us felt like celebrating. We went to
our suites. Tyson and Max were both talking about strategies that they would
use in their matches tomorrow. Kenny was typing stuff into Dizzi's mainframe.
I was just looking at the view from the balcony. While I was looking over the
pool, I saw Teri sitting there. She looked so sad and lost. "She just watched
her brother get dragged away, by their abusive, bastard of a father. Why
shouldn't she feel sad?" I thought to myself. I decided to go and talk to
her. Ray helped me out alot, when I was being beaten by my Ma. I owed it to
him to try and help his sister. Or maybe it was something else. On second
thoughts, WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!!! This is Ray's sister, and besides,
I'm not supposed to believe in that `love at first sight' shit. So what the
hell is wrong with me. Whenever I'm around her, I feel all warm and tingly,
inside. Argh. I mentally slapped myself. "Snap out of it." I yel at myself,
mentally. I walk into the room. "I'm going for a walk, you guys." I said. Max
and Tyson nodded. I walked out into the corridor, and into the lift. I went
down to the ground floor, and headed for the pool. I spotted Teri and walked
over to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TERI'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was thinking about Ray. I just hoped that father didn't beat him. I hoped
he'd find a way to escape. "Penny for your thoughts." I heard, from behind
me. I jumped up, startled. Then I saw that it was Kai. The captain of Ray's
team, The BladeBreakers. He was leaning against a wall. His arms were folded
across his chest. His head leaned forward slightly. "Oh Kai. I didn't realise
it was you." I said. Relieved that it wasn't my father. "Sorry, I didn't mean
to scare you. I saw you from upstairs, and I was wondering if you wanted to
talk about it?" He asked me. His crimson/brown, looking at me, as if he knew
how I felt.
"I don't want to talk about anything." I said to him. I only trusted Ray,
completly. I trusted the White Tigers, but it wasn't the same. I certanly
didn't want to talk to Kai. Even if he was really cute. O.K. hold the phone.
Did I just THINK that KAI was CUTE. I'm losing it. Kai shrugged at me. "I
just figured that you needed to talk to someone, who knows how you feel." Kai
said to me. Allright, now I was mad. "How could you possibly know how I
feel?" I yelled at him. Then Kai looked really angry. "HEY, YOU'RE NOT THE
ONLY ONE WHO'S HAD A ROTTEN CHILDHOOD. I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE A FRIEND!!!"
Kai yelled back. I never expected him to yell back. I also couldn't believe
what he said. I saw Kai turn, and start walking away. "Hey Kai. Wait, I'm
sorry." I said. He turned to look at me. "It's O.K. You didn't know." Kai
said. I felt relieved when he walked back and stood next to me. After a
minute, we both sat down. "So what happened to you?" I asked him. He looked
at me for a moment, then he looked up sighed and turned to look at me again.
"When I was four, my Dad comitted suicide. After that, my Ma changed. She
beat me with every available object. From belts to thick bits of wood." Kai
began.
"At the begining, it was only her hands. The objects came into use gradually.
She'd insult me, beat me and she drank like a fish. When I was eight, she
tried to stab me to death with a kitchen knife. The only reason that I'm
alive, is because the neighbours called the police. I went to live with my
Grandfather, after that." He finished. I was shocked. Not by what he'd said,
but by the fact that it had happened to him. "Did you ever see your Ma
again?" I asked. He nodded. "Before the English Tournament, she came back and
said that she wanted me back. I tried to run. The police finally found me and
dragged me back to my Ma's house. That was when I met my little sister,
Hikari. My Ma tried to beat me to death with a belt. I was concussed so
badly, that I was in a coma for a week." Kai said. "So what happened?" I
asked. "Well my Ma was taken to court by the social services of Japan. They
won and she went back to prison." Kai said. "And I suppose that she's still
rotting there." I said. "No, she isn't." Kai said. "She comitted suicide
shortly after she was taken there." Kai finished. I nodded. "I'm sorry." I
said. "Don't be." Kai said. (A/N: If you want to know more aout Kai's past,
read my fic, Tragic Past.)
We sat there for a few moments. Then Kai asked me a question. "So, what
happened to you? I mean Ray told us some of it, but he didn't tell us alot."
Kai said. I sighed. He had been honest with me. So I told him my story. Kai ]
looked tense. Like he wanted to hit something. "Your father's a sick man."
Kai said to me. I smiled. We sat there for a while longer. Then Kai stood up.
"We should both get some sleep." Kai said tome. "If we want to be at our best
for our matches tomorrow." He finished. He smirked. God, he looked cute when
he smirked. Oh for god's sake. Get ahold of yourself girl. He's just a guy. A
cute guy, but a guy, all the same. WAIT A MINUTE. I keep thinking that Kai's
cute. Never mind. I'll work it out tomorrow. After the matches. I got up and
we both walked into the lift. I went to my suite, where the other White
Tiger's were waiting. I saw him go into his suite. Maybe in some way, Ray's
allright. I hoped as I went to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ME: Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Sorry you didn't see much of Ray, but
I decided to focus abit more on the Kai/Teri pairing.

stop knocking out my muses.
