Mariah was in her room {A/N: At the Hiwatari residence of course! Tee hee!} with Isabelle. All the guys were at Kai's bachelor party.
"Isabelle how long are you gonna jump on my bed for?" asked Mariah with a sigh.
"Until you agree to go somewhere, 'cause I'm bored," replied Isabelle with an evil giggle as she continued jumping on Mariah's bed.
"You know a maid can come in here at any moment and kick you out," said Mariah trying to get Isabelle to stop jumping on the bed.
"So! Like I care I have enough yen to get me a hotel room," replied Isabelle with a smile, she stopped jumping on the bed and sat down.
"Please please can you come with me somewhere I don't wanna stay here!" begged Isabelle.
"Then you can go I'll stay," said Mariah with a smirk.
"Mariah! You're no fun! Think of what we can do! We can go to arcade's, shop- oh! Talking about shopping don't you think we should buy stuff like jewellery and make up for our dresses since the wedding is in like two days!" replied Isabelle proudly since she found an excuse to go out.
"Yeah I see you have a point," said Mariah with a smile.
"Of course I do it's me! I tend to make sense most of the time," said Isabelle ending her sentence quietly.
Mariah laughed. "Ok let's get going," said Mariah as she walked out the door. Isabelle followed.
"Ok so how do we get out of this place?" asked Mariah lost in the HUGE mansion.
"Maybe we can brake a window and jump out," replied Isabelle jokingly.
"Ha ha, you know for once I actually wish I could do that," said Mariah with a sigh.
"Maybe if we walk around a while we'll find out way out?" asked Isabelle not to sure if she would be right.
"Sure why not," replied Mariah getting annoyed of the mansion.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~* MEANWHILE BACK WITH RAY *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Ray was at a bar with Kai and whole bunch of people he knew from Beyblade tournaments from when he was just a kid. It seemed allot more like a reunion to him.
He walked towards the bar and asked for a drink and he just noticed that Kai was sitting beside him he had a glass of some clear alcohol. {A/N: It's gin if anyone is wondering}
"So is Mariah your girl?" asked Kai as he took a last sip of his drink.
"No! She's just a friend," replied Ray quickly. A bartender came and Ray told him what he wanted to drink.
"Yeah sure I thought so judging by the way you look at her," replied Kai with a smirk.
The bartender came and gave Ray his drink. Ray picked it up and took a sip, he was shocked with what he tasted it was so disgusting it tasted like rubber or something but his face remained normal he put the drink down.
"Yeah so what if I love her?" asked Ray looking at his drink in his but not daring to take another sip.
"Meh it's nothing to me but you should just tell her, hiding it is the wussy thing to do, how do you think Kristin and I got together?" replied Kai in a questioning tone.
Ray agreed. "Kai what is up with your scar? Are you a Nelly {A/N: You know the rapper that sings 'Hot in Herre' and 'Dilemma' with Kelly and 'Air Force Ones'} wannabe?" asked Ray referring to Kai's scar.
"Heh, no I don't idolise people, that's for the lame and helpless!" replied Kai darkly.
"So why do you have that scar?" asked Ray.
"That is none of your business," replied Kai coldly as he put his hand into his pocket and took out a box of cigarette's. He took one out and lit it up and took a puff.
"Since when did you smoke?" asked Ray sounding slightly bored.
"Since I was nineteen but I don't do it as much as I used to or Kristin {A/N: that's Kai's fiancée} will give me another one of her health lectures. You know she goes crazy when she sees me she goes on about how unhealthy it is and that I could die, but it won't happen it's not like I take five packs a day I go through one pack per month," said Kai with a shrug as he took another puff.
"I tried one in high school it taste bad! How do you get that stuff in?" asked Ray blankly.
"Simple I'm a man and you're still a helpless little boy," said Kai in his usual cold tone.
'Meh, I guess some people don't change,' said Ray in his mind.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* MARIAH *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Mariah and Isabelle had finally found the stairs and were at the entrance of Kai's mansion.
"I swear I need a damn map for this damn mansion!" replied Mariah angrily.
Suddenly they both heard voices. Two of them both of them were belonging to women. They both appeared from a hall. One was a woman looking around in her fifty's and the other was a young woman in her early twenty's. She had very light brown hair and hazel eyes. She wore a pair of dark blue baggy jeans and a black long sleeved top. She had a sparkling golden ring with an ENORMOUS diamond with two smaller diamonds on the side of the bigger one. She wore the ring on her wedding finger. She was obviously Kai's fiancée.
"Excuse me I know both of you are done your shift but I need your help for a little while longer," replied the younger woman.
"Uh pardon me?" asked Mariah with a confusingly weird look on her face.
"Oh your both guests! I'm sorry how rude of me I thought you were both maids, I am so truly sorry," apologised the woman.
"Yeah ok," replied Isabelle sarcastically as she walked out the entrance.
"Just ignore her, she's the type of girl who's crazy for fashion and looking good in her clothes so that results to her being insulted by being called a maid," replied Mariah kindly with a smile.
The woman smiled and nodded. "Oh! How rude of me not to introduce myself I'm Mariah," said Mariah as she took her hand out for a handshake.
"I'm Kristin, I'm the bride to be," said Kristin proudly as she shook Mariah's hand.
"Really congratulations, well I don't mean to be rude but I must go now, my friend is waiting," said Mariah politely.
Kristin nodded. "That's fine I hope you both enjoy it here," said Kristin kindly with a smile.
"Don't worry about it we will," replied Mariah with a smile as she walked out the door. She looked around for Isabelle but didn't see here anywhere. She walked down the steps and saw her, one of the hedges was covering her.
"Mariah what took you so long? Did she make you polish her shoes?" asked Isabelle with slight rudeness.
"Come on Isabelle get off it! She's a good person it was just an accident," replied Mariah with a sigh.
"I guess it was but I dunno it just seems weird for me to be called a maid, like do I look like I'm uneducated, so I have to clean to make a living!!" replied Isabelle as she half shouted at the last fragment.
"Isabelle why don't we just change the topic?" asked Mariah.
"Yeah sure, but where are we gonna find a mall?" asked Isabelle thoughtfully.
"Well if we found one the stupid stairs I think we can find a mall," replied Mariah optimistically.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* BACK TO RAY *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Ray was sitting at the bar once again. He was bored out of his misery! Maybe it was because he didn't like anything the bar had to drink, he only tried three other drinks after his first one and they were still horrible to him. A man appeared at sat beside him. He began talking to Ray. Ray knew that he knew this person but he couldn't remember who it was!
The man had slick hair tied in a low ponytail. He had slightly tanned skin and orange-yellow eyes.
"I don't mean to stop this conversation but I have no clue who you are," replied Ray.
"Ray you forgot me already, man were brothers. It's Lee you jackass!" answered Lee as he started laughing.
"Really, I'm sorry I guess I have been to busy with work to remember," said Ray slowly.
"Yeah sure. You know this is getting really boring for me so how about we ditch this place and do something besides sitting on our asses," replied Lee.
"Uhh ... sure. Is Kevin and Gary here though?" asked Ray.
"Yeah let's see if you can guess who they are dumbass," said Lee once again laughing.
"Your the one who's an ass," replied Ray.
"Hey Ray how's it going!" said a voice from behind Ray. Ray knew it was Gary just by the way he talked.
Ray turned around. Gary was still the same well he wasn't fat as he used to be but he was big because of muscle. Ray and Gary exchanged hugs {A/N: You know the kind of hugs I mean the guyish ones that guys do, you know when they pat each other's backs}.
Then a man with green hair appeared. It was obviously Kevin. He had grown to be taller he was about the same height as Ray. His hair was still the same colour but it wasn't in the same ponytail as before it was let down and it was up to his shoulders. But only one thing remained the same about his hair it still covered one of his eyes.
The four walked out of the bar.
"Do you think Kai would get pissed if he found out?" asked Kevin.
"No I bet he doesn't even notice, so what do you guys wanna do?" Asked Lee.
"How about we got bowling like we used to for old times sake?" Replied Gary.
"Sure! I guess you all deserve a good ass kicking," said Ray with a smirk.
"Yeah we'll see who's doing the ass kicking at the alley!" Snapped Kevin competitively with an impish grin.
And so the four guys went bowling. {A/N: Holy crap! That sounded to stupid! I'm sorry but what can I say}
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* MARIAH *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Mariah and Isabelle were at the mall and have been shopping for four hours. They had lots of fun since everything was new to them. Japan was an entirely different country compared to England. Mariah loved Japan everything was so high tech! And the stores were great! The fashion in Japan was different but it was original and cool Mariah would've bought something but she decided not to.
Mariah and Isabelle had been shopping at the mall for five hours. Well for the first hour they bought their makeup and jeweley and the rest they spent looking around to see what different things Japan had.
Mariah and Isabelle had returned to Kai's mansion around the time of ten fifteen. They spend about an hour talking and they tried on their dresses with their new make-up and jewellery. Then later on Isabelle returned to her room to sleep.
Mariah looked at the clock in her room and it was eleven fourteen. She shrugged she wasn't tired but luckily her room had a T.V so she turned it on. Everything was in Japanese so she pressed the button for the English sub titles. She looked at the clock once again and it still was eleven fourteen. She wondered when Ray would be coming back. Well figuring it was a party probably at four in the morning. But it seemed to long for her she wanted him there with her to laugh with to talk with.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* RAY *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Ray was walking back to Kai's mansion from bowling with his friends. He could have taken a taxi or something but it wasn't much to walk and plus he didn't want to spend any more money. It would also give him more time to think.
What really got him stuck was the conversation he had with Kai. Should he tell Mariah it would be better then hiding but what if it scares her like it did last time? Well he didn't really tell but a kiss meant the same right? Like people wouldn't do that to anybody unless they just wanted to play with the person's heart right? But that's something Ray would never do to anybody especially Mariah.
Ray began having a mental war between himself whether to tell Mariah or not. The side of him to confess to Mariah won.
Ray kept walking until he came to Kai's mansion. He took in a deep breath and let it out. He looked up at the mansion and walked towards it. Once he got inside he walked up to Mariah's room it was closed he was about to knock on it but stopped what if she was sleeping? Well if she was she wouldn't say anything or open the door. He brought his hand back up and knocked on the door.
"Can you come in like five minutes please? Cause I'm getting changed." said Mariah
"Um sure," replied Ray nervously. He walked to his room. {A/N: It's three doors away from Mariah's}
He laid on his bed and thought deeply. How would he tell her how he felt? How would he form the words with out mumbling or talking fast or sounding like a plain loser! He began to get nervous now he was thinking that he shouldn't tell her but he remembered Kai's advice he was right he should tell. Ray kept thinking what the words would be like when he told her. He kept thinking, which slowly drove him crazy. Ray snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at his clock it read eleven thirty one.
"Ten minutes have passed," whispered Ray to himself. He got up from his bed and once again walked to Mariah's door. He took in a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" said Mariah voice kindly.
Ray nervously opened the door. He saw Mariah. At the sight of her all his nervousness vanished and he felt calm and relaxed.
'Aphrodite {A/N: Yes the goddess} herself,' said Ray in his mind. He gazed at Mariah; she was wearing a light pink night-gown it down to her knees it seemed to made out of a silk material. Two thin straps were supporting her night-gown. Her red hair {A/N: Remember she dyed it dark red. Just in case anyone forgot I almost forgot for a while to} was let down and it went down to her mid back. She had a brush in her hair, which she was using to brush her hair with. {A/N: Oh and just to give more detail about the night-gown it is NOT see through it's just an average night-gown! Well the top is tank top like but you don't see much of her cleavage but you would if she bend down (like any other night-gown). I'm just writing this because my friend read this before I posted it and she thought it was see through and ect.}
"Hi Ray!" greeted Mariah as she stroked her hair with her brush.
"Hello Mariah," replied Ray back with a smile. He walked towards her bed and took a seat.
Mariah put her brush down on the vanity and pulled out the stool and sat on it and faced Ray.
"So how was the bachelor party?" asked Mariah.
"To be honest it wasn't that great, the drinks were horrible and it was boring, but I saw Lee and the rest of them so we left and went bowling instead," replied Ray in undertone.
"Bowling. You know I haven't done that for a really long time. The last time was when I was in China with you, Lee and everyone else," said Mariah with a smile.
Ray smiled to he just loved Mariah's smile. It so sincere and it always made him want to smile himself.
"Do you wanna watch T.V?" asked Ray.
"Yeah sure if you want to," answered Mariah.
Ray nodded and got up to get the remote, which was on top of the T.V. Once it turned on everything was Japanese.
"Does this thing have subtitles?" asked Ray.
"Yeah it does let me show you," said Mariah kindly as she got up from her stool. She took a few steps to Ray. He handed her the remote and she set the subtitles. She handed him back to remote, their hands brushed against each other.
'Whoa her hands are soft! But that doesn't matter now, I should tell her ... now,' said Ray in his mind. He began to feel that nervous feeling again.
"Mariah I need to tell you something," said Ray motionlessly.
"What is it Ray?" asked Mariah softly with a warm smile.
"Well you see I ... Mariah I love you that is why I kissed you that night when we first saw each other after all those years, I never got about you I never have," said Ray softly. He looked at Mariah to see her face but he couldn't see any emotion on it.
