Crystal: Hiya, everyone!

Cherry: Where's KK? *looks around frantically*

Crystal: In her room.

Cherry: Why? And why did we have to update for her?

Crystal: She's depressed right now. Don't ask!

Cherry: Uh. I'm gonna check up on her. *opens door*

Crystal: O.O Wait! Don't leave me-

*door closes*

Crystal: Here. *sigh* Anyway, here's chapter 5! And some cheering up may get KK better. And, as always, KK does not own beyblade!

Just A Crush

Chapter 5

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning was a very refreshing one for the White Tiger Valley.

Kenny, Tyson, and Max slept silently as Mariah and Cherry hopped up the wall that separated their house from the forest.

Mariah and Cherry crept slowly, as to not wake the others. They smiled at the three sleeping figures. Mariah waited at one of the beds, while Cherry went to the bathroom to get something.

Cherry opened the door and walked in. She saw the familiar white walls and the big bathtub. She can still also smell a tint of blood...

She frowned, but kept on moving. She walked and walked, trying to find the thing she was supposed to be here for. Then something sparkly caught her eye. She looked to her side and smiled when she saw what it was.

'Aha! The razor!!' She carefully picked up the material and put it in her backpack. The sharpness of the razor making small cuts on her hands. But she paid no attention to it.

She was then finally done and was about to go out the bathroom door when an idea hit her. She grinned and proceeded to get out.

"Cherry! Let's go!! Before the others wake up..." Mariah hissed, standing up from the bed.

Cherry nodded. They were both ready to jump out the window when someone caught both of their feet.

They looked down and saw Tyson looking at them with a serious yet tired face. They looked around the room and saw Max and Kenny with the same looks.

They sweat dropped,

"Can you please stay? We miss you already!" Max bounced his way up to them.

"Uh... But sooner or later Ray and Lee'll wake up!" Mariah frowned,

"Aww! Pwease? Pwetty pwease?"

Cherry laughed nervously,

"Um... well... I guess we could stay for a little while..."

Tyson and Kenny cheered, while Max tried to quiet them down.

"Oops... sorry..." Tyson said sheepishly,

The five of them talked and laughed until they heard footsteps.

Mariah and Cherry shared a horrified look as they stood up. Tyson, Max and Kenny looked at them nervously,

"Uh-oh... quick! Get out the window!" Kenny hissed,

Mariah and Cherry nodded and ran for their escape, as the door opened and there stood Ray and Lee. When they saw Mariah and Cherry, they felt the need to talk to them.

So, giving in... They caught their ankles, when they were just about to jump out the window.

Mariah sighed.. The two of them were slumped on the floor.

"Looks like the jig is up, aye Cher?" she looked at Cherry,

Cherry just grinned, which confused the pink-haired girl.

"Not yet!" Cherry jumped up and did a twist that only she could master before landing right in front of the window. She quickly took Mariah's hand, before Ray or Lee had a chance to stop her.

They were about to jump again, but Lee caught Cherry's hand, making her stop. Mariah stopped also, helping Ray to catch her.

Lee looked at her. Trying to figure out if she was real.. But then... The same warm eyes proved that it was really her. But what really caught his eyes were the cuts on her hands. He lifted them up as the others watched.

"What happened?" Was the only words that escaped his mouth,

Cherry looked back at him and frowned. And just as she was about to speak, Liana came rushing in. Boy, are there many interruptions going on today!

"Oh Ray! What's going on?!" she asked, sickenly sweet. Cherry and Mariah rolled their eyes.

Lee saw it but went back to Ray and Liana. He watched as Liana pushed Ray's arms off Mariah and hug him, glaring at the pink-haired girl all the while.

Cherry slowly took her hands back and crept quietly for the window, while Mariah followed suit.

Tyson, Max and Kenny just watched them with smiles on their faces. But they soon faced Ray and Liana, and their faces suddenly turned dark.

Mariah and Cherry shook their heads... Mariah went down the window first,

But then, Lee noticed something. He looked at his side and saw no one there. He looked at the window and saw Cherry looking at him, smiling.

"I love you, Lee... Always remember that... And please find a way to change Ray's mind about Liana! Those two are just such a bad sight!!" She whispered, before going down the window.

Lee was kinda shocked that Cherry wasn't mad at him but finally snapped out of his reverie, just in time to see Cherry going down.

He quickly went to the window and looked down. He saw Cherry and Mariah running off to the forest.

"Cherry!! Mariah!!" he screamed, catching the attention of everyone in the room, also Cherry and Mariah's.

Cherry and Mariah looked at him. Mariah smiled at him, before running again. Cherry followed suit, but blew Lee a kiss before following Mariah and the two disappeared in the forest...

"What?" Liana glared at the spot from where she last saw the two other girls,

They were making her look bad! And now, all of the people's attention was on the two, not her.

"Do you think they'll come back?" Ray looked at Tyson, Max and Kenny.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Tyson grinned,

"And even if they come, they said not to tell you!" Max laughed,

"Just be happy that they aren't mad at the two of you." sighed Kenny,

"Aww, come on, guys! You could at least tell us!" Ray got out of Liana's arms, and went to the three in his knees.

Liana huffed, 'Hmph! Why do those get all the attention?! They're not even beautiful like me!!'

Tyson, Max and Kenny laughed,

"Sorry, Ray!"

"Do you think they'll ever come back? I wonder where they live now." Lee said,

"Well, if they already have a new home, considering that it's been already three days, I doubt that they'll come back. And I think that they think that the two of you are still mad at them, so they probably wont come back. And if you want to know where they live right now. Don't ask me!" Max explained,

"Let's stop the talking, shall we? I'm getting hungry!" And as if on cue, Tyson's stomach began to grumble.

The rest laughed, except for Liana, that is.

"You're always hungry, Tyson!" Kenny shook his head,

Tyson grinned again,

"I cant help it! I'm a growing boy!!"

"Yeah, more like a growing pig!" joked Lee, trying to run from Tyson around the room.

The others laughed more, excluding Liana.

Friends and Foes. They're all much the same. They're just simply humans, who have their own thought about you.

Wow. Life and/or Love is really FULL of sacrifices.
