I Turn To You
_______
The sky was gray, and it rained as if it knew how Mariah felt at the moment. Mariah's shoes slapped upon the hard pavement. She didn't care where she was running. She just wanted to get away...
*Flashback*
The bell had ringed to signal the end of the day. Everyone began packing his or her backpacks to leave and chill out on the long weekend. Mariah was happy since she could go bowling with her boyfriend, Josh that weekend. As she walked down the school steps, she heard a noise at the back of the school. She crept slowly to see what was going on. What she thought would never happen in her relationship did. Mariah's rival, Kristy Saunders and Josh Pickford were making out, and Josh didn't know that anyone saw until he saw pink hair behind the corner of the school as Mariah ran.
'How could he have chosen that bitch over me? She's too much of a flirt and he should know that she'll drop him like a hot cake a week later. I thought that it would never happen to me, but it just did.' she thought in anger, followed by tears streaming down her cheeks as she ran. The rain started coming down.
*End Flashback*
Her white and pink top was starting to be see-through (AN: Everyone knows what happens when you get wet and you're wearing a white shirt...) She passed Jo Shin Street and ran on to Wu Fong. Not looking where she was going, she ran into someone and they were both knocked down.
~*~
When I'm lost in the rain,
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way.
And when I'm scared,
And losing ground,
When my world is going crazy,
You can turn it all around.
And when I'm down you're there
- pushing me to the top.
You're always there,
giving me all you've got.
~*~
"I'm sorry." Mariah said without looking at whom she crashed into.
"It's ok Mariah."
She looks up to see the face of her best 'guy' friend, Ray Kon. He was in his usual clothing with a white coat; the white robes with the ying-yang symbol and his red bandana with the same symbol upon it. In his hands was a grocery bag that was half full because the other half was scattered on the floor, and his black umbrella.
"Here, let me help you pick them up." Mariah begins crouching down and starts gathering the cans together, trying to hide her tear-streaked face. Ray also begins to pick up his carrots and celery. Both their hands brushed passed each other as they both went for the New England Clam Chowder (AN: Dun ask, I was having some for lunch. -.-') and they both blushed.
"Well, I better go." She gets up with her face looking at the ground and starts leaving but Ray stopped her in mid-step.
"Do you want to go to my place for supper? Mom's making this huge dinner tonight and I was hoping if you would join us."
Without giving it a thought, she said, "Sure Ray. I would love to." They both began to walk towards Ray's house. It was just a block away from the mini super market. On the way there, Mariah started sneezing and shivering due to her wet clothes and Ray, being concerned, asked if she was all right. She nodded, and sneezed again.
"Here, take my coat. You're going to catch a cold if you don't wear something to warm you up." She nodded in thanks and she put it on, shivering a little. The rain continued pouring down as they walked on in silence.
~*~
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
For everything that's true
I turn to you.
~*~
"Mom! I'm home and Mariah's here over for dinner!!" Ray yelled out when he opened the door to his house.
Mrs. Kon, with her oven mitts on came out. Her silky, black hair was in a loose bun, with strands of hair coming loose on the sides. She was wearing an apron that had the words, 'Home Sweet Home.'
"Mariah! How nice to see you again! How are your parents?" Mrs. Kon asked.
"It's nice to see you too Mrs. Kon! They are doing really well, thanks." Mariah answered politely.
"How's school? Everything going well?"
Mariah was quiet for a minute before answering, "It's ok. Everything's fine I guess..." Everyone was silent for about 3 minutes.
"Hey! The rain's stopped. Mariah, how about we go to Victoria Park? We haven't been there in a while." Ray said, breaking the silence.
"Sure."
"Mom, you know where we'll both be."
"Alright hon. Just be home at 7 pm because we're having supper."
"Ok. Let's go Mariah." Taking her hand, Ray took her out to the living room to get some coats, and then left.
~*~
When I lose the will to win,
I just reach for you and
I can reach the sky again.
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing,
'Cause your love inspires me.
(Yes it does)
And when I need a friend,
You're always on my side
Giving me faith
that gets me through the night.
~*~
The rain left everything all sparkling when the sunlight striked at them. Mariah and Ray were walking along the path of the park, admiring the birds and the trees and smelling in the 'rainy' smell. While doing all that, they were stealing glances at each other and blushing when one caught the eye of the looker.
"I'll be right back ok Mariah? I just need to get something really quick." Ray asked as something caught his eye in the as they passed the fields of pink flowers. (A.N.: Sounds corny huh? -_-;)
"Alright Ray. Just hurry back."
Ray nodded and went towards the field. For a few minutes, it was quiet with some birds chirping in the distance. Mariah found a bench and sat down to wait for Ray. Suddenly, a flock of birds flew out of a group of trees. Her heart jumped a few beats and she pulled Ray's coat closer around her. 'Please hurry back Ray...' Mariah thought to herself.
Hearing some leaves rustle beyond some trees, she stood straight up in reflex only to have a knife at her neck. She did what came to her mind first. She screamed out, "HELP RAY!!!!!!!!!"
*------
Ray was picking some pink flowers for Mariah (A.N.: A lil' OOC for him I think...), when he heard Mariah's scream for help.
"Mariah!!" He dropped the flowers, and ran towards where Mariah had a knife at her throat. "I'm coming Mariah!!"
*------
"Give me your bit-beast from your beyblade or else say goodbye to your life!" The masked teenage boy said to Mariah, holding the knife. The boy's voice sounded very familiar... as if she heard that voice every day. Mariah was getting ready to take out her blade slowly when Ray ran out of nowhere and kicked the guy away from Mariah. The thief fell to the ground, but then slowly stood up with his knife ready and charged at Ray. Mariah screamed out, "WATCH OUT RAY!" and Ray dodged the knife stab just in time. Ray turned around and focused his kick at the hand that held the knife. He kicked hard, and sure enough, the knife flew three feet away from the boy as he flew backwards from the pressure that hit him.
"You'll pay for that." The boy growled as he stood up holding his injured hand. He glared at Ray through his mask as if he had laser eyes and if he stared at something too long, he would destroy it. Just then, Mariah remembered where she heard the voice.
*Flashback*
"Hey Mariah, do you want to go bowling with me and my friends on Saturday, since it's a long weekend and everything?"
"Sure Josh..."
Josh...josh...josh.
*End Flashback*
"Josh? Is that you?" Mariah cried out.
"Took you long enough to find out who I am!" Josh ripped his mask off. His dirty blonde hair was crumpled in a mess and his mouth was a sneer. "I bet you didn't know that I was using you all along! You were so naive at the time that it was easy to manipulate your mind!! All I had to do was to take your bit-beast and give it to Voltaire so he could take over the world with his bit-beast army!!" He laughed evilly.
"What?!?! You used Mariah just to help Kai's grandfather? How low can you go?" Ray said angrily.
"Low enough to kill you!" Josh took out another knife, and charged at Ray. The blade made a mark on Ray's right hand, and the mark started to bleed. Ray clutched his hand tightly.
"Ray!! Are you alright?" Mariah ran over to him.
"I'm ok. Go run and get help."
"No! I'm staying with you!"
"No Mariah! Just go! I don't want you to get hurt! Get help!!"
"Be careful Ray." She kissed him on the cheek and ran.
"That was so disgusting that it makes me want to hurl!" Josh made a face and got into the dragon stance. His hands were in front of his body facing each other. One was above the other. They looked as if he was holding something in one hand while guarding it with the other. The feet were spread out, with one foot slightly forward. "You're going to lose your life and your bit-beast to me now punk!"
"I don't think so!" Ray got into the tiger stance. One hand was almost beside his head; his other hand extended outwards. His hands were like claws ready to strike its prey. The feet too, were spread apart with one foot forward. They both charged at each other with tremendous force, and Josh was the first one to attack. He raised his left foot in the air and did a front kick at Ray's stomach. Ray fell to the ground as he flew backwards. Josh ran towards him and kicked him continuously while punching him when he tried to get up. Finally, Ray blocked one of the punches, and shot out his leg at Josh's face, allowing him to get out of the way. Josh took a step back from the blow and that was all Ray needed. He attacked with fierce force, jabbing Josh with a shower of punches, and with a roundhouse kick to the head, Josh fell to the ground. Ray took this opportunity to kick him again and again, and the fight raged on.
