Heather: *sniffs* I love you guys. You still read the fic even though it takes me forever to update.
Kai: I don't know why they do it though.
Heather: hey that's not very nice.
Kai: so....
Heather: you better watch it or I'll do to you what I did to Tyson.
Kai: Oh yeah? And what is that?
Heather: *hands him pictures*
Kai: *eyes open wide* YOU WOULDN'T DARE!

Kai: *runs out of the room dropping the pictures*
Heather: *picks up the pictures* I knew dressing Tyson up like a girl would be entertaining. Well here is the next chapter. Hope ya like it. ^_^
Chapter 13
The Days Drag On
Rachel was lying in here bed staring at the ceiling. 'Why does all of this have to happen now' she thought to herself.
"Well, if it didn't happen now, it was going to eventually" she said rolling onto her side.
Just then the door to her room opened and the light flooded in.
"You alright, Rach?" Tyson asked walking into the dark room and turning on a light.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Why?" Rachel replied.
"Well, you're alone and quiet. For you, that's not a good combo." Tyson said jumping to sit on the end of her bed.
Rachel sat up and hugged her knees. She sat there in silence.
"Rachel, what's wrong? You're never quiet. You're either blading or yelling at me."
"I don't know what to do" she said quietly.
"Since when are you not sure about anything" Tyson said, giving Rachel a look of confusion.
"I don't know why Ray and Kai have to keep fighting with each other. It's bad enough that they were arguing before we came here, but they just got in another fight."
"Really? Did Ray kick his ass?" Tyson asked with a grin.
"I'm being serious, you dork" Rachel said while throwing a pillow at her younger brother.
" You should have saw it coming."
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"It's obvious that Kai's liked you for a while even if he tries to deny it and then you and Ray start going out. It's kinda like a kick to the face. Of course Kai's gonna be jealous. Anyone would be. It's you."
"Thanks, Ty. But that doesn't help me out any" Rachel said, getting out of the bed.
"I don't think anybody really can help ya. You gotta figure it out on your own" Tyson said jumping to his bed.
"That really sucks." Rachel said walking to the bathroom.
"Yep" Tyson said with a grin.
"You know how big of a pain in the ass you are?"
"That's the Rachel I know" Tyson said with a smile. "Oh, are Ray and Kai gonna be able to stay in the same room tonight?"
"Oh shit!" Rachel said running out of the room.
"Guess that means no."
Rachel ran out of the room into Kai and Ray's. She walked in but couldn't find anyone.
"Come on out, Ray. I know your still in here."
"Yeah but I gotta hide from the evil stalkers" he said, kissing her gently on the cheek.
"Sure. They're all out to get ya, aren't they" Rachel said sarcastically.
Ray wrapped his arms around her waist. " I'm being serious. I think that girl Kari is trying to get me go out with her."
"Am I supposed to be jealous or something?" Rachel said pulling away from Ray.
"I don't think so but it would make me feel special" Ray said with a grin.
"Well, that evil bitch must die. Happy?"
"Yep!"
"So what are gonna do about rooms because I really don't want you and Kai to stay together"
"Why don't I just switch rooms with Tyson?" Ray said with an evil grin.
"Because, you pervert. Kai and Tyson don't get along during the day"
"Well your not staying with him" Ray said defensively.
"How about this. You stay with Tyson, I'll switch with Max and he can stay with Kai."
"I love it when your so smart" he said pulling her into a kiss.
The sun poured into the room and Tyson was still snoring as loud as he did last night.
'No wonder Rachel always yells at him' Ray thought to himself. 'Not getting any sleep can keep you mad at anybody.'
The Bladebreakers all met in the lobby of the hotel to get briefed on the next match. Kai was sitting on a chair beside a couch. Rachel, Ray, and Tyson were sitting on one couch and Max, Joel, and Kenny were sitting on the other.
"So we know who's blading but what is the order gonna be" Joel asked.
Ray slumped down on the couch. Rachel felt so horrible that she couldn't let him blade but she knew it was best for the team. Ray just couldn't be reliable when it came to facing his former team.
"Joel will face Kevin, Max will fight Gary, Rachel will get Mariah, Tyson will go against Alleon, and I get Lee" Kai said flatly.
"Rachel?" Kenny asked.
"Sounds good to me" Rachel replied.
"We battle at one o'clock, so let's meet down here at noon." Kenny said.
"I'm hitting the beach" Joel said standing up.
"You think any girls would want to see you in a bathing suit?" Rachel asked with a grin.
"For your information, I am highly wanted by the girls here" Joel said, closing his eyes and sticking his nose in the air.
"Yeah, they want you to go away" Tyson said.
"Hey!" Joel gave Tyson a death glare and chased him around the lobby.
Tyson screamed like a three-year-old girl and ran for the elevator. He constantly pushed the button to close the door but Joel dove in before it shut and started to beat up on Tyson.
"It's funnier when I actually get to see him getting harassed" Rachel said standing up. "Guess I'm gonna go practice before the match." Rachel started walking toward the stadium that was behind the lobby.
"Wait for me, Rach. I need to practice too" Max said, running to catch up with her.
Kenny stood up with Dizzi in his arm to head back to his room to look up new information. Kai and Ray sat in silence glaring at one another.
"This is stupid. We never used to stay on each other's nerves like this" Ray said, leaning his head back on the couch.
"Hmph" Kai snorted.
"Why don't we make a truce or something?"
"What's the point?" Kai said coldly.
Ray sat up. "We can't keep doing this, especially in front of Rachel."
Kai turned his head and stared coldly at the elevator doors.
"Why can't you tell me why your always so pissed at me know?" Ray asked.
"It's because I don't think you deserve her" Kai said flatly.
"Well that's just too bad because we're happy together and you can't do anything about it."
"Oh really? I thought I was doing a damn good job when she came running to my room crying last night, don't you?" Kai replied with a slight grin.
"Come on, let's just drop this and act like a team again. This shit's getting out of hand."
"Fine. We'll stop arguing about Rachel" Kai said standing up. He walked over to Ray and stuck his finger in his face. "But if you break her heart, I'll break your neck, got it?"
"Sure, Kai" Ray said closing his eyes.
"Hello everybody and welcome once again to the Caribbean Tournament being held in the beautiful Bahamas." A. J. Topper's voice rang out through the whole stadium.
"Looks like today's match will be the White Tigers going up against the Bladebreakers" Brad Best stated.
"That's right. These two teams faced in the Asian Tournament and gave a great show. Hopefully we'll get the same today." A. J. said.
"Let's look at who's going in the first match. We have Kevin from the White Tigers and newbie Joel from the Bladebreakers." Jazzman said as the two boys walked up to the dish.
It looked like a normal dish but it had been polished to make it hard for the blades to keep their grip.
"So, sending the new kid to lose, huh" Kevin said.
"Let's just see who comes out with the win" Joel said, glaring at the small green haired boy
"Alright. Let's get the semi-finals started! 3...2...1...LET IT RIP!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heather: Ok I know it seems like the semi finals came out of nowhere because it did. I just thought the story was going by really slow so I decided to have them in the semifinals.
Kenny: That's kinda selfish don't you think?
Heather: Where the hell did you come from? Anyways, the story is far from over so don't get mad at me. ^_^U
Kenny: How can you keep dragging out a story like that?
Heather: You better keep quiet or I'll do to you what I did to Tyson!
Kenny: I don't want to know. I saw Kai sitting in a corner rocking back and forth. What did you do to him?
Heather: He kept bothering me and saying he was gonna attack me with Dranzer so I tortured him with pictures of Ian.
Kenny: What's so scary about that?
Heather: They were naked pictures.
Kenny: That's just wrong Heather.
Heather: He shouldn't have bugged me. Well, you people know what to do. Click that little review button and make me happy. C-ya! ^_^
