Cherry Rain: I'm back. Now we shall continue the story! The tournament competitors will all be staying at the same hotel, cause as I stated, this is a private tournament. Only teams that are invited are to come. Stands to reason they'd all be in the same place.
Chapter Four: Meetings
Lei Feng's eyes widened as she took in her hotel room.
It was large and luxurious, with everything she'd ever dreamed of as she huddled on a piece of rag in the middle of some dark back street.
Ray laughed at the look of delight on her face. "Get used to it, girl. This is how we live."
"It's just. I never had all this as a kid."
"So this is your new member, huh?" a voice came from behind.
Ray spun around. "Lee!"
"Long time no see, Ray. So this girl is your newest member?" he repeated.
"Yeah. Who's yours?" Ray asked in a rather defensive tone.
A girl stepped forward from behind them. "Call me Yu." She had long black hair, done up into a bun at the top of her head. Her eyes were sharp and feline green. She gave you the impression of a witchy black cat. She dressed in a light green shirt and forest green slacks.
Lei Feng sized up the newcomer. Yu. for jade. Then her eyes picked out another girl, with a shock of pink hair and dressed in white. That had to be Mariah. But she didn't like the way the new girl was looking at her. Kind of. superior.
"I'm Lei Feng," she said, "And I believe you've taken Ray's place on the White Tiger team?" she added bluntly.
"Yeah. I hope you're good. we'll try not to thrash the Bladebreakers too badly," she said, sneering.
"I don't think so. You are the replacement, which means we got the better deal in Ray." Lei Feng's eyes narrowed. "We won't hold you up any longer. Talk is cheap. We'll see you in the tournament."
She saw Mariah give Ray one last longing glance as she reluctantly trailed after the rest of her team.
Ray shrugged. "Well, you've met my former team."
"I must say, that Yu was startlingly similar to Kai! From what I've seen, he takes that attitude too!"
"I heard that." Kai's cold voice came. "Stop gossiping. We meet at the beystadium in the basement, fifteen minutes. Practice." With that, he turned away and stalked off.
"See you, Ray," Lei Feng said, as Ray moved off down the hall to the room he shared with Kai. Sleeping with the other three was out of the question, and Lei Feng got a room to herself, so Ray got the to bunk with Kai. He didn't mind anyway.
Lei Feng walked in and plunked her suitcase down in the middle of the room. Quickly taking everything out and packing, she was soon done, and went down to the basement.
"Wait!" a voice halted her. She turned to see Mariah. "What room is Ray in?"
" Room 709." Lei Feng answered her automatically, for the question had come so fast that she had had no time to think. "But be careful, okay, Mariah? He's rooming with Kai."
"Thank you." Mariah gave her a look of fervent gratitude and rushed off back the way she came.
Lei Feng smiled. Maybe those two would get together. And she would do what she could to help.
Cherry Rain: That was an all-too-short chapter! I'm so sorry! And Ray/Mariah fans, you'll like the next chapter: Midnight Rendezvous!
