CHAPTER 10

Come Clean

(AN/ In the last chapter, Tara sorta finished telling Kai about her childhood/past. Unfortunately, the two of them weren't aware that Ray and Kenny were outside listening to every word said. Max and Tyson are in their hotel room resolving their differences from their fight in the previous chapter.)

"Psft! I think they're done talking!" hissed Kenny.

"No duh Einstein!" Ray shot back. He was feeling kinda angry that the way they were talking seemed like a more than friends kind of talk. He didn't understand. He had just only seen the girl once and he was already feeling protective of the girl.

Just then they heard footsteps coming close to the door so they quickly ran away and hid behind a huge potted plant near the elevators. The door did open and out stepped Kai. He looked around both ways then went back into the room. A few seconds passed when the door reopened and out stepped Kai. He was holding his blade and muttering to himself as he passed Ray and Kenny and the plant. He made his way to the other hotel room and opened the door.

Ray and Kenny sighed and ran back to the hotel room.

(Inside the hotel room)

"Where have you two been?" asked Max. He was holding two bottles of Vanilla Coke. He passed one to Tyson who took it happily and they started chatting.

Kai eyed them suspiciously and went back to work. He was typing feverishly on Dizzi who was complaining about something.

Ray looked around the room, sighed and went out to the balcony. He stared at the busy city if Moscow below. People and cars everywhere. As he turned around to lean on the railing, he glanced to his left and stopped.

===============================================================

There on his left, was the girl of his dreams. (AN/ okie well that was a bit of an exaggeration since they just kinda met so he didn't even get to dream yet but you get what I mean….) True she wasn't looking exactly angelic with her wet hair and her dirty, ripped clothes but still. He could just tell she had been through a lot and he was determined to help her through it.

Apparently Tara did not feel Ray's presence so he cleared his throat to get her attention. She jumped when she heard the sound and whirled around. When she saw Ray standing there, she sighed in relief and shook her head.

"Um…. Hi!" he started off with.

She kept staring at arched her eyebrow.

"Man I am so lame!" Ray thought.

"I saw your battle with Bryan." She stated.

"Oh…. Really?" he asked embarrassely. He remembered how Bryan hurt him with his dishonest blading tactics. He also remembered that he fainted after he won the round. He didn't want to let the girl think he was weak!

She could tell he was feeling embarrassed so she quickly added "But you were really good out there. Not just anyone can stand out there getting attacked by Bryan's BitBeast. That was brave of you."

He blushed, mumbled a "thanks" and looked away. He didn't feel like talking about the match that cost him Driger so he quickly changed the subject. "Oh, the um…. weather's nice today."

Tara was taken back that he changed the subject so quickly. "I didn't say anything that could offend him so I wonder why he looked so nervous." She wondered to herself. Then she remembered about Driger. "Oh no! I didn't mean to make him remember that…."

While Tara was thinking, Ray scanned her from head to toe and noticed she was holding her beyblade in her right hand.

He cleared his throat again and asked "So um…. how good is your beyblading anyways?"

She arched her eyebrow again and asked him with a playful smile. "Why? Would you like to find out?"

Dun Dun Dun Dun! Another chapter finished! Hope you like it! And if you did then plz review! And if you didn't, tell me what I should change OR just leave me alone and never read this story again. Its really a very simple decision! Oh and plz check out my new fic, International Idol - The Search For A Superstar! Here's a clip of it:

(Clip of Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend - Marilyn Monroe)

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic

Are better bets if little pets get big baguettes

Time rolls on and youth is gone

And you can't straighten up when you bend

But stiff back or stiff knees

You stand straight at Tiffany's

Diamonds

Diamonds

I don't mean rhinestones

But Diamonds

Are A Girl's Best Friends

CBS – That was really good! Keep up the good work and you could be the International

Idol!

Mariah - *beaming* Thanks CBS!

SC – Great! That was great! Great choice of song and your voice was really strong!

Although you might have overdone the outfit.

Mariah – Huh? *She moves and her diamonds catch under the set lights so a bright beam of light is shone at the judges' eyes*

SC, CBS GiGi – Owwww! My eyes!

GiGi – Grrrr…. My eyes! I thought that was unexceptible! The outfit didn't help either! You sang the song exactly the way it was produced without making it your own sound! That is just unexceptable!

Mariah - *speechless* But-…. But-…. But you see-….

GiGi – I don't want excuses! If that is all you have then you are out of this competition!

AJ – Whoa! GiGi's on a roll today! She's dissed every competitor so far! Talk about

grumpy girl!

Brad – GiGi! Temper, Temper! Anyways…. We'll get to the next contestant after this commerical break!
