AN: Hey people! Thanks to all you guys for reviewing Ch 4! Right now I want
to clear one thing up; Ray and Mariah will NOT be getting together, nor
will Mariah be two-timing both. Just so none of you guy's flame me for
that, (Which I know of one..) I have nothing against Ray/Mariah fics, in
fact I am planning to write one. That is if you want me too. Well on with
the fic, and it'll explain the whole Ray/Mariah thing.
Dangerous Love
Ch # 5
Separations
Mariah awoke with the sun shining in her eyes, well, that, and the extreme pain in her left arm, which reminded her of what happened the night before. She looked over to the left looking to find Kai, but she found no one.
" Kai?" She asked quietly, hoping for an answer, well she did get one, the sound of the phone.
Mariah slowly reached with her good arm for the handset.
" Umm..yeah?" She asked in a sleepy voice.
" Hi Mariah." Came Kai's voice, calming Mariah.
" Listen, your leaving today at nine-o-clock, right?" He continued, sounding rushed.
" What? Oh yeah the flight, yeah. Why?" She asked, feeling slightly down now.
" Kai and me are finally friends now, maybe more, now I have to go to Madrid, damn my bad luck!" She thought, but ignored it.
" I'll meet you there then, I need to talk to you before you go." He explained, sounding embarrassed.
" Oh, okay then. Where are you anyway?" Mariah asked confused.
" My place, I left there about five in the morning. Hey you better go get ready, it's already 8:00." He said, laughing a little.
Mariah glanced at the digital clock, and sure enough he was right.
" Oh great. Lee's gonna kill me. Bye then!" She said, but not wanting to hang up on him.
" Hey Mariah?"
" Yeah?' She asked.
" Just be careful when you come to the airport, make sure nobody is following you."
" Yeah I will, thanks Kai, for everything." Mariah replied and hung up.
" I still can't believe what happened last night, but what I really want to know is who was that guy, I think Kai knows but he won't tell me. Why?" She shrugged off the thought and looked around the now extremely messy room.
" I think I have to worry more about getting packed." She said to herself as she tried to find her backpack in the disaster.
" Oh man, Lee's gonna have my head."
30 minutes later............
" Mariah I'm going to kill you." Lee angrily said to her as she came out of the elevator doors.
" Uhhh..Sorry?" She asked, hoping that he was in a good mood.
" Sorry? We have to be there at least a half hour early and your sorry?"
Mariah looked down at her wristwatch; it was now 8:35.
" Well we still have a half hour, somewhat." She said, matter-of-factly.
Lee looked like he was about to say something, but decided against it, he quickly walked out the doors closely followed by Gary and Kevin.
" Well, that could have been worse." Mariah muttered to herself and ran after them.
Checking bags and looking at the flight schedule had never been so rushed when the White Tigers had made it to the airport.
" Well we leave in ten minutes, the Bladebreakers said that they were going to see us off..but I don't see them anywhere." Lee stated, looking around the busy airport.
As if on cue, the Bladebreakers came rushing thru the airport doors, well three of them did, Tyson came in about ten seconds later, looking extremely sleepy.
" Why did your plane have to leave so early?" Tyson asked when they saw them in the huge crowed.
Mariah meanwhile was scanning the crowed looking for Kai, who did not come in with the rest.
" When does your plane leave again?" Max asked.
" Nine-o-clock." Kenny replied before the White Tigers could say anything.
" Umm..Hey guys?" Tyson said, still not awake.
" What?" Ray asked, staring at him.
" Well it might be just my eyes, but...Is that Kai I see?!" He half shouted, looking at a figure that just came though the doors.
Mariah quickly snapped her head in that direction, and sure enough there was Kai, now walking towards them.
" I didn't even call him! What's up with him?" Tyson asked amazed.
When Kai got to the rest he stared at them with an annoyed face, but it wasn't the same way for Mariah.
" Uhh.Hi Kai, um, if you don't mind me asking; what the hell made you come here?!" Tyson practically yelled at the unimpressed Kai.
" Nice to see you here too Tyson." Kai replied, completely ignoring his question.
" Whatever." Tyson said, then walked away with the rest to see if the plane had arrived.
Mariah was about to walk with them, when she felt someone tugging at her forearm. She turned around to see Kai nodding towards the deserted cafeteria about ten feet away from them.
She nodded in understanding and followed him to a two-seat table.
" So you came, I didn't think you would." Mariah said when they sat down.
" Yeah. What? You didn't think I would?" He asked, but with a small grin on his face.
Mariah decided to ignore his statement and continued.
" So what happens now?" She asked shyly.
" Now? Now you watch yourself. I think that freak still wants my bitbeast, and would do anything to get it."
" Is that what he wants, your bitbeast?" Mariah asked.
Kai mentally slapped himself; after all, he didn't want her to know any more then she already did, but he slowly nodded.
" Why does he want that?" She asked, looking confused.
" That's the problem, I really have no clue. By what you tell me, he already had a damn strong bitbeast himself." He replied.
Mariah glanced down at her arm, with was covered in a long blue sleeved top to hide the deep gashes on her arm, one thing she did not want was her teammates to know about the freak, that would be just another three people to be in danger.
" Flight 009 to Madrid is now boarding. I repeat, flight 009 to Madrid is now boarding." Came a male voice over the speaker.
" I take it that's your flight?" Kai replied as he got up off the chair.
" Yeah." Mariah said and picked up her small backpack.
" Mariah, please promise me that you'll take care of yourself." Kai stated, looking down at her, slightly embarrassed.
Mariah looked up at the worried Kai, then nodded.
" And call me if anything happens, at all." He continued, now even more worried then before.
" Hey worry about yourself! I'll be fine, Madrid sounds like a safe place." She said.
Kai still looked unconvinced.
" Just please be safe Mariah." As soon as he said this, he put a hand on her chin, and brought his mouth onto hers.
Mariah was still surprised that she was kissing the always silent Kai, but she found herself putting both her arms around his neck, as he held her chin with one hand and the other circled her waist.
Kai was the first to pull back; he looked at her with a small smile on his face, turned around and walked out the cafeteria doors.
" Good-bye Kai."
Mariah couldn't have been happier of what happened, but was unaware that someone had watched the whole thing and wasn't as happy. (AN: Hmmm..I wonder who that could be...)
Mariah walked back to where they were to board to find the rest of her members already in line, saying good-bye to the bladebreakers.
" So hey! Feel free to come back anytime to visit!" Tyson said happily, as he shook hand with Lee.
" I hope we do someday!" Lee replied.
Mariah got hugged by Tyson, and shook hands with Max and Kenny, then turned to find a depressed and shocked looking Ray.
" Well Ray, I really hope that I'll see you again really soon!" Mariah said as she gave him a hug, but he didn't return it, just kept on standing there with the same look on his face.
" Ray? What's the matter?" She asked confused.
Ray shook his head then smiled. " Nothing! I hope to see you and the others really soon too! Have a blast in Madrid, and make sure to pick me up a souvenir!"
Mariah nodded, now this sounded like the Ray she knew!
" Bye everyone!!" The White Tigers replied as they turned the corner to head out to get their bags checked.
Tyson, Ray, Max and Kenny watched the plane leave, which took off about twenty minutes later.
" I'm really gonna miss those guys!" Tyson said, somewhat teary-eyed.
" Oh I'm sure we'll see them again soon, maybe at another beyblade tournament!" Kenny exclaimed.
" Oh man that'd be so great!!" Max yelled over the loud chatter of the crowed.
" So Ray, why so quiet?" Tyson asked the silent Ray.
" Oh, um, nothing. Nothing at all!" He said unconvincingly.
" Yeah whatever," Tyson continued. " anyway, you know what I could go for?"
" What?" Ray asked, having a good idea of what he was thinking.
" PIZZA!!" He screamed, causing everyone to look at him in question.
" At like, 9:30 in the morning?" Kenny asked, wondering about his sanity.
" What's wrong with that?" Tyson asked, clearly confused.
" Tyson, I'll never get you!" Max burst out laughing, within two seconds they all were, including Tyson.
Meanwhile outside.............
Kai looked at the plane taking off, he was standing just outside the airport, waiting to see Mariah and the rest of the team members leave.
" Mariah, please be careful, I have no idea what this freak is capable of." He muttered to himself, then started the long walk back to his house, feeling more alone then he'd ever had before.
~~~~~~~~~Three days later~~~~~~~~~
It was 9:00 at night, and Kai was just on his way to go practice beyblading.
" A couple of days ago, the only thing that mattered to me was for Mariah and the others to leave and go on with there trip, now, I would do anything just to get her back here where I can at least know she's alright." Kai thought as he launched his beyblade.
Two days and not a single call from Mariah, he hoped that she was just having too much of a good time to call, but he knew the other possibilities.
As he watched Dranzer spin around the dish, he heard the phone ring in his bedroom.
Forgetting about Dranzer, he quickly ran to the phone, hoping it was her...
" Mariah?" He asked without thinking.
" Kai?" Asked a voice which Kai knew, but did not feel like hearing.
" Oh, it's you Ray." He said, now depressed.
" Why did you say Mariah?" Ray demanded sounding worried.
" No reason." He said, hoping that he would drop the subject.
He heard Ray give a long frustrated sigh.
" Listen Kai, I know what's going on between you and Mariah."
Kai just stood there with a shocked looked on his face.
" I have no clue what your talking about Ray." He said not believing Ray.
" I saw you two together at the airport Kai!" He yelled then continued, " but it really doesn't bother me all that much."
" What?!" Kai yelled shocked, Ray always looked like he had a thing for her!
" Kai I'm just happy for her, and you..I think she'll be good for you. But there is one thing."
" What?" Kai asked, still surprised at him.
" If you ever hurt her in anyway I will kill you!"
The thought of that scared him; it wasn't himself that worried him, but that freak..
" Anyway, that's not what I'm phoning for, well sort-of." Ray continued, now sounding frantic.
" What is it?" He asked, now sounding worried himself.
" Um, you haven't heard from Mariah since she left have you?" He asked in a hopeful voice.
" No, why?" He asked in a shaky voice.
" Damn! It's just that.." He tried to tell him, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth.
" What is it? Tell me Ray!" He yelled, now pissed off.
Ray let out another sigh. "Lee just phoned me, Mariah has been missing for about a day."
