Kairox: hello! I would like to shamelessly advertise my two other fics,
latte night snacks and yin 'n' yang. Please R&R!
Ria: oh, aren't you forgetting something? Like what you promised at the end of the last chapter?
Kiarox: oh fine. (snaps fingers and Tala suddenly magically appears)
Tala: am I safe? (looks around) yes! I'm out!!!!! (runs around screaming happily)
EKR: O_oU kairox don't own Beyblade. On wi da ficcy!

"Ria, Ria. Wake up. It's time." Ray whispered into his sister's ear. Silently, she slid out of bed. She peered around to make sure that Kai, who shred the room with her and Ray, was still asleep. Kai was gone.
"where's Kai?" she silently mouthed to her brother.
"he must have gone for a stroll or something. I've left a note on the dinning table telling him we've gone for a walk too. That way he won't suspect anything until morning." Replied Ray with a tiny grin at his own ability to handle details.
Nodding, Ria grabbed her small duffel bag with her few belongings stuffed in it and followed Ray out of the apartment.
# somewhere in town. #
""Ray, where exactly are we gonna go?"
"well, I figured we might take the train to the next town and from there track out for the mountains and three days before the finals, start making our way back."
"okay bro. Should we change our names too?"
"can't be too careful. I'll be Roy and you can be Kathleen, Kat for short. Okay?"
"fine by me! Now lets go get our tickets!"
# at the train station. #
"Ria, we're being watched." Ray whispered in his sister's ear while they were lining up to buy tickets.
" roger. Stay here, I'll pretend to leave for the bathroom and see if I can neb the spy." She whispered back, before slipping into the small crowd which perpetually suruonded the ticket office.
As Ria wove through the crowd, she kept her eyes peeled for any suspicious chracters in the crowd and in the surrounding area. she was so focused in scanning her sides and back that she forgot to look where she was going and bumped into a stranger.
Mumbling an apology, she kept her head bowed so as to keep her face hidden and realised that the well-muscelled stomach in front of her looked very familiar. Lifting her head, she looked the stranger full in the face.
It was Kai.
Ria gave a little start before composing herself and matching Kai's glare. " what are you doing here Kai?"
" I might ask you and Ray the same question." He replied frostily.
" you were the one who was following us weren't you?" Ria said accusingly.
"and what if I was. Where are you going at this time of the night?"
" none of your business. Go home and forget about this."
"no. I heard Ray talking to you. Where are you running to now?"
" it's rude to eavesdrop. Go home Kai and don't tell the others." With that, Ria plunged back into the crowd to find Ray.
Ray was surprised to find his sister back so soon. "well, who was it? He asked impatiently.
"Ray, it was Kai. Kai was following us. He knows. He overheard our conversation."
"what did you do?"
"I told him to go back and not tell the others."
" Did he?"
"no." came a dry voice from behind them. Turning, they saw Kai standing right behind them.
"where are you going?" Kai asked.
"none of your business." Ray replied curtly. Kai looked both amused and irritated for a second before grabbing each sibling by the arm in a vice- like grip and pulling the younger duo out of the queue and steering them to a quiet corner where they wouldn't be overheard.
"you can trust me." He said quietly. "where are you going and what does Rayan want you to deliver?"
Exchanging glances, the siblings decided to let Kai in on their secret.

" so that's why we're running away but we'll be back for the finals." Ray explained. Ria who had been leaning against the wall and was getting very sleepy nodded.
"hm. But what if your older brother stays for the finals?" Kai asked. Ray blanched. He didn't have a plan for that and neither did Ria. They had simply hoped that their brother would not stay for long after they left.
" your plan lacks detail." Kai pointed out.
"well, you got a better idea?" Ray said defensively. He was anxious to get a move on and did not want to waste further time having his plans dissected by a frigid team captain who could not possibly understand.
For an instant, Kai's face softened, but then the rigid shell oof composure slid up again. "yes. But you have to come back to the hotel and tell me more about your brother's plans before I tell you.
Ray was about to refuse when Ria stood up. "lets go back Ray. I'm sick of running." Because he was too, Ray nodded and the both of them got up and followed Kai back to the Hotel.
# in the hotel.#
as Kai stepped into the elavator accompanied by Ray and Ria, he mentally berated himself. why was he helping these kids? Sure they were team mates, but that was ut, wasn't it? His current actions showed concern and for that, friendship was nessacery. But they weren' his friend, or were they?
Looking at the younger teens through the corner of his eye, he saw Ria hugging Ray and Ray returning the hug like any loving older brother. A pang went through his heart, but he brushed it away. Reminding himself that emotions were for the weak Kai turned his attention back to how to solve their main problem.

kiarox: pointless I know, but what to do? Gtg. R&R people!
Kai: with some luck, we won't see you for awhile.
EKR: shut up unless you want me to take you home with me.
Ray: owch. Better watch your step Kai!
Ria: oh, aren't you forgetting something? Like what you promised at the end of the last chapter?
Kiarox: oh fine. (snaps fingers and Tala suddenly magically appears)
