Dangerous Love
Bloody Roses
After about 1 hour at yelling at the rest of the members about the bill, getting her swimsuit, and the long ride, Mariah and the others were finally at the pool.
" This place is huge!" Kevin yelled as they entered.
All they could see now was the lobby, but even that was big. Off to the side were the girls and boy's change rooms, and straight in front of them were some glass doors that led to the pool.
" Yeah well, look at the size of the pool! It must be at least 50 meters long!" Lee replied as he paid the fee to a young woman at the desk.
" Thank you. The pool is opened to the public all day so enjoy yourselves!" Said the woman, and pointed them to the change rooms.
" See you in a few Mariah!' Lee replied as he, Kevin and Gary made there way to the boy's change rooms.
" Yeah, bye." Mariah muttered as she slowly walked to the girls.
Ten minutes later Mariah was able to spot out the rest of her teammates at the pool, (thanks to Gary) and now were walking on the ledge of the pool to get to the deep end.
" You know, I find it extremely creepy when all the guy's us, or more specifically, you Mariah." Lee stated, looking, (and glaring) at the guy's who were practically drooling at Mariah.
Mariah looked down at her swimsuit; it was a black tankini that had pink sakuras all over it, it wasn't that reveling, but it did show some cleavage.
" I hate it when all that guy's stare at are my boobs." Mariah muttered in a very low voice.
" What's that?" Kevin asked her, looking confused.
" Oh, um, I asked if you knew where Gary was! He sort of left us when we decided to go to the deep end." Mariah quickly covered up as sat down at the edge of the pool and put her feet in.
" I have no- Oh wait I see him, he's in the kiddies pool." Lee replied, trying to hold back the urge to laugh, but was unsuccessful.
Mariah looked over to the kid's pool to find Gary, wearing water wings, attempting to play basketball with the small rubber ball and the plastic net.
" Don't think the kids like it though." Kevin said as he watched the 2 to 10 year olds quickly leave the pool as fast as they could.
" What, can't he swim?" Mariah asked as she slid into the pool.
" Doesn't look that way." Lee replied and started to laugh again.
" Hey! Look who's-" Kevin started, but Mariah did not hear the rest, as she dived deep in the water. Sure it was 12 feet deep, but she's been swimming
all her life, and has dived longer. She was almost at the bottom when two strong arms wrapped around her waist and brought her back up to the surface.
" What the hell!" Mariah yelled, as she was able to speak, and looked around to find a very wet, laughing Ray.
" Hey Mariah! Been swimming long?" Asked a voice from the ledge of the pool. Mariah looked over to find Tyson, and Max laughing along with Lee and Kevin.
" Oh, hey guy's! When did you get here?" Mariah asked as she swam to join them.
" Just a couple of minutes ago. Man Mariah, you should have seen your face when I pulled you up!" Said Ray when he managed to stop laughing.
" Hey, where's Kenny?" Lee asked Max.
" Well, he's say's he's not a good swimmer, so he decided to stay at the kiddies pool." Max explained, making a face.
Mariah looked over to the small pool to now find the only two people in the pool attempting to play basketball.
" No offence, but that's damn pathetic." Lee said, shaking his head.
" Yeah, but who cares? Right now I'm in the mood for Marco Polo, who's with me?" Tyson yelled as he did a cannon ball into the pool.
The next 3 hours passed in no time, playing Marco Polo, which Tyson won three times in a row, but most suspected that he cheated, and about an hour of begging Gary to go to the deep end, and in the end, almost causing him to be a drowning victim.
" I really thought that you could swim better then that Gary." Lee explained as they made their way to the change rooms.
" Yeah, I guess not." Gary replied in a heavy voice.
Mariah just shook her head and went into the girls change rooms, which where completely deserted. She headed for her locker to get some shampoo and conditioner for her hair, when she heard a noise back to where the door was.
Mariah took a couple of steps back to look to see who came in, but found no one.
" Weird." She muttered, as she untied the key that was tied to the shoulder strap on her swimsuit.
She fumbled with the key and put it in the lock, only to find that it was already unlocked.
" I didn't forget to lock it, why is it opened then?" Mariah asked herself, frowning slightly.
She decided to ignore it and started to look around the pants, tops, shoes, and towels for the shampoo and conditioner.
" Ah, there it is!' Mariah exclaimed to herself and pulled out the bottles, causing something to fall to her feet. She looked down to find what looked like an envelope.
" What the hell.." Mariah said aloud and bent down to pick it up.
On the front of it was her name written in dark blood red ink. She slowly opened it and unfolded the thin paper, almost like tissue paper.
The letter was short, but all the same it was confusing;
Mariah, I need to see you as soon as possible; I think that you might be in danger, Nothing to worry about, just meet me at the local park that we met at last night at six-o-clock. Tell no one.
Kai.
P.S. Come alone, I don't want anyone else getting into this.
Mariah folded up the letter and put it in her jacket pocket in the locker.
" Why does he want to see me? And what does he mean that I'm in danger? And most importantly, why the hell was he in the girls change room the pervert?!" Mariah said to herself as she started to close the locker, but
before it was half closed she noticed something else that was not in there before; a single red rose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kai's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Let it RIP!!" Kai yelled as he launched Dranzer in the huge personal dish of his.
" I've been beyblading for hours, but I still can't figure out why I said that to Mariah." Kai thought as his beyblade spun rapidly around the dish.
Kai looked at the digital clock on the wall, it was now 5:00, and it was also time to head to the restaurant.
" Ugh! I'll be so glad when this visit with the White Tigers is over." Kai said sounding annoyed.
He picked up his beyblade, which was still spinning, and walked into the large house. By the time he changed and got to the restaurant it was already 5:45.
" Hey Kai buddy! Nice of you to come!" Came Tyson's voice from one of the tables close to the window.
" Yeah whatever, just don't bother me again, got that?" Kai replied as he sat down.
" You got it!" Tyson said, still sounding happy.
Kai looked around the table; Gary and Tyson were shoving their faces with any kind of food they could get their hands on. Lee was having a
conversation with Max and Ray, and Kenny was on his laptop, surprise surprise. But there was still one person missing.
" Where's Mariah?" Kai asked before he could stop himself.
Ray looked at him with an extremely confused and surprised look on his face.
" Mariah? Um, she left here just before you came, saying that she had to do something." Ray explained, still staring at him.
Kai just nodded, trying to ignore the fact that he was worried for her.
The next ten minutes seemed to drag on, the others looked like they were having a great time eating and talking, but Kai had other things on his mind.
" I'm going outside to get some air." Kai replied unable to watch Tyson stuff his face anymore.
Outside it was extremely cold, dark clouds hung overhead, and the street was almost completely abandoned.
Kai leaned on the wall enjoying the silence, trying to forget the mental picture he had of Tyson eating.
" Well hello Kai, you know where you little girlfriend is?" Came a voice though the darkness.
Kai could have died, he thought that the guy had giving up to get his bitbeast, and he did think more then once that maybe he imagined the whole thing.
" You know, I'm getting really annoyed with you showing up like this in the dark, but I'm getting even more pissed off when you refer that...girl as my bitch!" Kai yelled, hoping that he sounded as angry as he felt.
The 'voice' did no reply for a long time, and soon Kai thought that he left before he could do some serious damage to the freak.
He started to head towards the doors when he spoke;
" You know, you're not the only one that's getting pissed off. I'm growing annoyed with your attitude, but I will give you some advice." He said, as cold as ever.
" Oh yeah, and what would that be?" Kai asked, laughing a little.
" My advice is this; keep more of an eye on your 'bitch', you know, it's not safe for her to go walking around at night, expressly when I'm mad!" He replied, then the sound of footsteps followed.
" If you think I'm going to run to her rescue you're sadly mistaken!" Kai screamed after him.
" Who is that guy? And why the hell does he still want my bitbeast?" He thought to himself, looking at his surroundings.
" Ha! He must really think that I'll go run and try to find Mariah. I've already been stupid enough to fall for that, I won't this time." He thought, but started to look more worried.
" But what happens if something did happen to her and all along I knew about it?" Kai asked, now walking towards the road.
" Lee and the others would surly seek revenge on me." He said aloud, now on the other side of the road and stopped.
" Ray would most definite kill me." He said, searching for excuses.
" Oh.SCREW IT!!" He screamed and set off at a dead run.
" Why does it always have to be dark out when I have to run?!" Kai shouted, almost tripping on a mound of dirt.
" Where do I look? Wait! I'll go check by the hotel, I bet she's there!" Kai thought turning on his heel and running to the right. He barley moved five steps when he heard a female scream.
" Mariah." He muttered before he turned around and headed to where it came from; the park.
He got there in no time, but finding her was a different story, as it was so dark.
" MARAIH!!" Kai cried, looking around but only finding darkness.
No one answered, he called again louder.
After about ten seconds he finally heard something, but just barely.
" K.Kai?" Asked a weak voice coming from the benches.
Kai ran over there, and to his delight, and horror, he found her sitting on the ground;
Even in the darkness he could see her top covered with blood, she was holding her arm, which looked like was literally torn in several places. She slowly lifted her head up and looked up at him with tearful eyes.
Before Kai knew what he was doing, he knelt down beside her, and cupped her face in his hands.
" Mariah.what happened?" He asked, looking at the scared girl.
She spoke in a very quiet voice, but still sounding extremely scared.
" I was...waiting for you.it was dark and I could hardly see..anything. I was about to go back.when.I heard someone." She replied, looking tired from talking and closed her eyes.
Kai nodded, " but what did he do?"
She reopened her eyes. " I don't remember much, but...I do know that he had a beyblade..a very strong one, stronger then any of the Demolition Boy's beyblades...after that I think I must have passed out." She explained, now looking like death.
By now, Kai was pissed. As Mariah slowly started to go to sleep, he looked around the park to see if there was anyone there. Seeing no one, he gently slid his arms around her and picked her up easily.
" I guess I could go back to the others..but when they see me carrying her like this.no.I'll go back to her hotel."
It took him five minutes to get there, ( thanks to a taxi cap ) he walk to the room still carrying Mariah, got the key from her pocket, and walk inside.
Once he was in he walked to the bedroom and laid the sleeping girl down on the queen-sized bed, and looked more closely at her wounds;
Her arm was badly cut up, but it was treatable here. Blood was running from her head, with Kai suspected was why she passed out. He looked over the rest of her, finding scraps, deep gashes, and bruises already starting to form
" Good thing I have my level 3 in first aid." Kai thought to himself. He walked over to the bathroom and looked over the place to find any thing he could use. Once he returned with some stuff he could use for her, he found her already waking up.
" Hey. How you feeling?" Kai asked her, thinking of how dumb that would sound, " She has her arm slashed and diced, how do you think she feels dipshit?" Kai thought to himself.
Mariah didn't seem to notice, she looked around the room, then touched her arm.
" Ouch!" She yelled, quickly removing her hand.
" Let me look at it." Kai said, walking over to her and started cleaning up her arm.
" Umm..Kai, I remember you coming to the park and finding me, but what happen then?" She asked, looking confused.
" Well, you passed out and then I brought you back here." He explained, looking uncomfortable.
" Why were you out there at night anyway?" He asked, sounding sharp.
Now it was Mariah turn to be uncomfortable.
" Well, I got a letter." She replied, and then gestured to the nightstand table.
Kai walked over to it to find a small letter written in dark red ink. Mariah watched as he read it, and then looked at her with anger written all over his face.
" I didn't send you this." He replied, putting the letter back on the table.
" What? What do you mean you didn't send this?" Mariah asked, winching as Kai wrapped her arm up in what looked like a ripped up sheet.
" I mean what exactly what I said, but I do have a hint of who did." He said.
" Who then?" She questioned him.
" Listen, you are already in danger, I don't want you to know too much, please just..be careful." Kai quietly said, now cleaning her head.
She looked up at him, " Is he actually worried about me?" Mariah thought, but was interrupted by the phone ringing.
" I'll get it." She replied as she reached to the nightstand.
" Hello?"
" Mariah? Oh good your okay!" Came Ray's voice.
" Ray? Yeah of course I'm okay." Mariah replied, winching a bit as Kai rubbed at her head with a cloth way to hard.
" It's just that you didn't show up again at the restaurant, well, Kai left too but he usually does, but me and the others where worried about you." Ray explained.
" Well I'm okay, just tired that all." Mariah said, faking a yawn.
" Okay, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow at the airport, bye Mariah."
" Bye." Mariah said, and then hung up.
" That Ray?" Kai asked in a cold voice, colder then usual.
Mariah nodded her head.
" Well, your arm should be fine, I don't think it'll get infected..um you might want to change out of those clothes though." Kai said, nodded at her bloodied up top.
Mariah only nodded again and went into the bathroom; she came out a few minutes later in some PJ pants and a black T-shirt.
Without saying a word to Kai who was standing next to the bed, she climbed under the soft covers, with her eyes wide open.
" Well, I'll be leaving." Kai stated, walking towards the door, but Mariah stopped him.
" Kai?" She asked.
" Yeah?"
" Can you do me a favor?" She asked him.
Kai looked at her, she was staring at him, and so he nodded.
" Could you just, um, stay with me here for tonight?" She replied, looking down at the floor.
Whatever Kai was expecting, it wasn't this. Normally, he would have walked out the door without a word, but now that he was there and looking at how frightened she was, he found himself accepting.
" Sure Mariah." He said.
Kicking off his shoes, he slowly walked to the other side of the bed and laid on top of the covers.
" Thank you Kai."
" No problem, goodnight." He said, and surprising even himself, he wrapped
his arms around Mariah's slim waist. As he lay there, listening to Mariah's breathing, he realized that he had drawn closer to her without knowing it.and he liked it.

Kicking off his shoes, he slowly walked to the other side of the bed and laid on top of the covers.
" Thank you Kai."
" No problem, goodnight." He said, and surprising even himself, he wrapped
his arms around Mariah's slim waist. As he lay there, listening to Mariah's breathing, he realized that he had drawn closer to her without knowing it.and he liked it.
