Mariah loked over at Ray and blushed, though Lee caught it and immediately looked away towards Galeon. He hissed as it almost went out of the dish, and as it bounced back. It was close. But Dranzer wasn't taking anymore, and while still wobbly, pushed him out of the dish. He caught it and looked at Kai, who picked up Dranzer and glared at him. "Don't lose your concentration, unless you want us to win this cup."
Lee 'Hmph'-ed and went in, only then did Ray, who was battling Gary, notice the time and pointed it out. He and Kai gave their thanks and went off. They arrived in the hotel soon, but found that the others weren't there. There was only a message which said they would be back soon. Ray went into his room while Kai stayed in the kitchen and turned on the t.v.
"Ray." The chinese boy went out of his
bedroom and raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" Kai nodded to the empty
chair in front of him, on which Ray sat. "What is it?" Kai sighed
and leaned back into the couch. "You do understand the basics of blading,
don't you?" Ray nodded. "What part do you think feelings play?"
Ray frowned and leaned back on his chair too. "Well, it plays quite a big
part, actually. If you get too angry and lose concentration, your chances of
winning are slim. If you're happy, well, it could make things slightly better."
Kai nodded and leaned forward.
"You 'know' of Mariah's feelings towards you, don't you?"
"Yeah, I guess...What abou-"
"How does she feel towards you?"
"Wha-? Well, I guess we're good friends."
"No. You know that she likes you more than as a friend."
"I thought about it, but-"
"Well, now you know. And you do have a small relationship with Maria, don't
you?"
Ray blushed and nodded. "It IS quite a personal question, isn't it? But,
well, yeah. I think."
Kai leant back in his chair again and smiled. "Now that I know you understand that, what are you going to do about it?" Ray suddenly sat up straight. "Do? What do you mean?" Kai stood up. "You know very well, what I mean. Think about it. It just doesn't involve beyblading, but your own good." Ray opened and closed his mouth as Kai stood up. "I'm going to sleep." Ray nodded dumbly and stood up to go out and think. But as the elevator doors opened, he hesitated, before pressing the 'up' button.
The roof was windy, and the wind stung, but he needed to think things through. Kai WAS right. There was the subject of Mariah, but he liked Maria, it was just that he didn't know whether she liked him back. It wasn't that Mariah wasn't good enough, it was just that he thought of her as a younger sister, and he had a feeling that Lee 'liked' her, she was just blind to the signs. But, it all came down to one question, whether she liked him back or not. Hell, he didn't even know whether Maria liked HIM back, or why KAI, of all people, was asking him these questions. As he solved these thoughts, he noticed that he was soaked and it was raining heavily.
Ray sighed. At least he had figured everything out...in a way. He dripped all over the carpet in the elevator and the carpet down the hallway, and as he entered the suite, in the room. There was sudden silence, and he looked up, to see, of all people, Maria and her team. "Ray?" His eyes opened wide all of a sudden and took a step back. "Huh-? Oh, what?" Maria came up to him and was staring at him closely. "You're all wet. Here," she told him, never taking her eyes off him, "You can have my towel. I'm dry."
There were snickers from behind the couch as he felt his cheeks warm as she held a hand to his foehead. "Are you alright? You're all red..." This time, there were outright laughs from the living room. "I-i'm ok..." she smiled at him gently, and took his hand and dragged him to the living room. "What is it with you? You're all red, but you don't have a fever, and you're awfully quiet." He shook his head and regained his senses. Even Kai was smiling. And as he stood up and passed Ray, he muttred his message. "So, I take it you've made up your mind." And it was a statement, not a question this time. He blushed harder and looked at the rest. "What are you all doing here?"
Farhana raised an eyebrow. "Just in case you haven't noticed, it was raining?" Ray blushed and nodded. "Oh, yeah..." Farhana grinned at Kai behind him and signalled. (Which Ray didn't see.) Kai nodded and nodded at Max, who elbowed Tyson. "Hey, remember the new PS2 game I got? You wanted to see it, right?" Tyson nodded. "Yeah! Let's go! Scarlet, you wanna come?" She shook her head and looked at Kai pointedly. "We have to talk." He nodded and got up. She followed. Farhana looked at the two, then at Anniki. "I know you want to look at that game, so let's go, then." Anniki nodded and walked out with her.
Ray blinked. Maria blinked. "What's up with them?" He shrugged and stood up. "I dunno. Argh. This is one of those times that I wish my family didn't have this tradition." He mumbled, as he tried to dry his hair. Maria chuckled and pushed him out. "You'd better take a bath and change. Or you are so gonna get a cold." He nodded and walked out of the living room the same time she walked towards Max and Tyson's room.
Kai and Scarlet were there already, watching as Farhana beat the crap outta Tyson's character. "YEAH!" The screen flashed and the message popped out, declaring Farhana as the winner of six consecutive rounds. Scarlet was trying to calm Tyson down, as Kai stared at the victor, who was doing her victory dance with a very, VERY dizzy Anniki. (She was spinning the poor girl round and round and round... tsk tsk.) He thought back to their conversation the night after the Arabian Cup.
Flashback:
Kai stared at the girl in front of him, who was standing right beside the hot
spring pool. She was looking up to the sky, trying to catch a glimpse of the
silvery orb that only came out a few days each month. He grinned and stalked
beside her. "You're gonna break your neck like that." she shook her
head and looked at him, scowling. "Stoooopid clouds won't budge. Grr..."
she looked up again, and Kai grinned. "Farhana." she looked at him.
"Wha- aaaaaahhhhhh!" She fell into the pool with a splash and surfaced
seconds later. "What the hell was that for?" He grinned. "Revenge
for freezing my Dranzer." She grinned. "Really?" he smirked back.
"Real-aaahhh!" he felll into the pool as well, and came up sputtering
and coughig. "What the?!" he cursed as Farhana laughed away, splashing
water at him. "You could've won- only if you could communicate properly
with Dranzer!" He scowled. "After all this, I'm not sure if he's still
a fired bird... might be all steam now..." she laughed harder and stopped.
"Ahh! Luna!!" Then it was his turn to laugh. :End:
Kai shook his head as the memories ended. Then he noticed that Farhana was looking at him. He smiled and looked at the game. It was Anniki against Max. He smiled as he saw the younger girl look at his team member, and sighed. He knew Farhana knew of Scarlet's heritage, but did she tell her leader of his? How he was from the vampire clan of Hiwatari, and she of the Sisterhood? It was inevitable for vampires of different clans to fight. even if they did not want it to happen, the spirits inside of them would still awaken and fight each other. And he had no control over it. His father, like him, thought that if he ignored it, it would go away. But it didn't. And he glanced at Scarlet, who was cheering her 'little sister' on.
Farhana looked away. Why was Kai always staring at Scarlet, meeting her at unearthly hours, and stealing away to 'have a talk'? She admitted it to herself. She was jealous. But if she had to fight for his attention... She sighed and shook her head. She was feeling sleepy... the colours on the screen were getting slightly blurry... She let out a small yawn and closed her eyes. They would wake her up later.
MoonPaper:
So.... how was it? I know, this chapter was boring, wasn't it? But I had to
'enlighten' some people out there who were wondering what was between Kai and
Scarlet. I got up with the vampire idea Coz someone told me that there is no
such thing as black eyes, maybe dark brown, or verrrry dark brown. And sometimes,
on the show, Kai has red eyes, right? Only sometimes, but he does. And, I'm
putting them into deeper trouble now... hee hee... misunderstandings ROCK! No...
they don't. Review please? I wanna thank EVERYONE!! A big hug to all the peeps
who reviewed me!!
And... I was thinking of doing a Ray/Oc fic. here's a preview, review me to say whether I should contine with it or forget it:
Angel
By: MoonPaper
Pairing: Ray/OC
"Aaaah!!!!"- "CRASH"- "What
the-"- "Owww..."
"What in the world-?"
Ray stood up from the window sill, where he was sitting, to look at something- someone, who just fell through his roof. Literally. "Where am.. I?" He couldn't believe his eyes. "Who are you?" He was still speechless. In front of him, an angel was standing, a little dizzy, but an angel none the less. She was about to fall, so he held out his hand to support her. "Ow... My head's pounding..."
Finally, he found his tongue. "Are.. you an Angel?" the girl looked at him. "Yes... why? Oh... Kami-SAMA!!! What does this mean?! I'm in the mortal world!!" she looked at him. He looked at her. She was in a pure white gown, with silver trimmings. Her wings were all white, and stuck out of her back, causing quite a bit of feathers to make him sneeze.
Ja! ~MoonPaper~
