Kai & Tyson: 0_0 eep!
Ray: Heather doesn't own beyblade no matter how bad she wants to.
Tyson: She does own Rachel and the evil Redler.
Heather: *death glare* Anyways, on with the story!
Chapter 2 Competing for Love
After the battle between Rachel and Max, the group started getting restless.
"Grrrrr!" Hearing Tyson's stomach growl almost gave everyone a heart attack.
"Guess it's time to tame the beast" Tyson said in between laughs. "Come on, Max. You too Kenny."
"Why me?" Kenny practically screamed, gripping his laptop for dear life.
"Come on, Chief! You're the only one with money." Tyson said plainly, dragging Kenny behind him. Max followed behind laughing. He couldn't believe how much entertainment he was getting today.
"Now that that's over with" Kai replied, removing himself from the tree he was leaning on.
"Aw. Leaving so soon?" Rachel said sarcastically, flicking the short brown hairs that were hanging over her eyes.
"I know I'll be missed, but life goes on." Turning, Kai started to leave the park.
"Hope you have fun playing with yourself!" Rachel shouted.
Kai stopped dead in his tracks, eyes wide open. He closed them just as quickly as he opened them and gave a little snort before heading out again
"I don't know how he can take all the crap that you say" Ray was still blinking at the conversation that just went on.
"He knows I was just kidding with him" Rachel sighed. She was getting bored standing in the same spot.
"So what do you want to do now?" Ray said quickly, seeing the look on her face.
"I don't really care." She stretched her arms over her head then dropped them to her side, letting them swing freely on her side. Ray grabbed her hand gently.
"Let's go for a walk then."
Rachel looked at her hand and then back up. She couldn't help but stare into his eyes. They seemed so warm. "Ok." she said softly with a smile on her face.
Kai knew he probably should have headed home, but for some reason he couldn't go there. He tightly wrapped his arms around his chest. He walked around the park for a little while before finding a bench. He sat down, leaned back, and looked at the sky. 'Look's like it should rain soon' he thought to himself.
"Oh well."
Rachel and Ray had walked around the park hand-in-hand three times without saying a word to one another. Ray spotted a tree and got an idea.
"Want to sit up there? We can see the whole park." he said pointing at the tree.
"We've seen the whole park three times" Rachel said, looking at Ray with a cocked eyebrow.
"Come on. What else do you have to do?" Ray begged with a mischievous grin.
"Alright, but it looks like it's going to rain soon."
"I'll make sure we don't get caught in it." Ray jumped onto the first branch and threw his hand out to Rachel. "I know how you melt when you get wet."
"Ha ha. Very funny." Rachel grabbed his hand and was pulled to the first branch. They gradually made their way up until they were about ten feet up in the tree. Ray kept an eye on Rachel, trying to help whenever he could. When they finally sat down, Rachel looked a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong" Ray could tell something was making her uneasy. He prayed that it wasn't him.
"Did I ever tell you how much I hate heights?" Rachel's voice was slightly trembling as she looked down. She gripped the branch hard making her knuckles turn white.
Ray scooted toward her and put his arm around her back, holding on to the branch on her other side. "Better?" he asked with a grin. Rachel nodded her head with a smile.
Kai couldn't stop thinking about her. He knew she was beautiful but that wasn't why he was thinking of her. They seemed so much alike. They acted the same way and liked the same things. 'God. I really do love you, Rachel.' Kai thought to himself. He finally took his gaze off the sky and looked around the park. "Wonder what that is in that tree?"
