Mariah was absolutely buzzing. First, she saw Brian, and then she got a call saying she was accepted to the same school as Taylor. She wasn't sure whether she should be happy or sad. Tailors school was an all girl's school, which meant there was no male population other than the teachers. And if Brian was here, she could kick his ass for hurting ray. However, these thoughts didn't last for long, because soon the travelled back to Kai.

"ARG!!" was all she could say. Taylor watched her cousin pacing around her room. 'Now this is pathetic!' she thought as she picked up the phone and rang Kenny.

"Hello, Kenny? Could you do me a favour?" she asked sweetly.

*Kai's*

It took Kai a while to lose his Tyson shadow. However, with everything that's been happening lately, our cool Kai was more tense than usual. And he actually felt tired. He headed straight home and instantly laid on his king sized bed. But just when he was inches away from drifting into sleep Ville. The phone rang. He sighed aloud. 'Why cant people just leave me alone?'

"What!? He said, more harshly than he had intended.

"Oh, hey Kai. Its me...Mariah..if this is a bad time, then I could maybe call you some other time.." She said with a nervous tone. It definitely took a lot of courage to call Kai like this. Kai felt so guilty. The girl who had been plaguing his thoughts for days, called him, and all he did was petrify the girl to death.

"Mariah, please don't go!" he quickly said before she was going to hang up. Mariah brightened up a bit to hear the desperate sound of his voice. Kai was relieved when he heard her breathe on the other end of the phone. It was getting pretty silent, so Mariah decided to carry on, seen as though it was she who called in the first place.

"Okay, so I rang to say..um, hi." She said in her nervous tone again. But Kai was too smart to fall for that one. And he wasn't going to be reduced to acting all shy like Kenny, and beat around the bush, so he came out and said it.

"Mariah, am I supposed to be..your boyfriend now?" Mariah blushed even though Kai couldn't see her, and vice-versa.

"Well, we DID kiss..so I guess that does sorta make us an item." she said in a witty tone, hoping that Kai would agree. Suddenly their 'time' was cut short when someone interrupted their conversation.

"KAI!!! YOU TALKING TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND MARIAH ARNT YOU!!!" Kailena squealed on line.

KAILENA!!! GET OFF THE LINE!!!" Kai yelled.

"NO!!! WHY SHOULD AUNTIE LOUISE GET TO LISTEN AND IM NOT!?!" she yelled back. Auntie Louise decided to speak now that Kailena had revealed her.

"Hello Kai, dear..hello Mariah! How's the blading?"

"Listen lady, and that kid.would you just leave them alone?!" Taylor snapped.

"Taylor! What are you doing on this line?" Mariah screamed.

"There's a phone in my room as well, and seen as though I did make the effort to call Kenny, and ask for Kai's number, I thought I'd see how it's going!"

"There's lots of phones here too!!!! Even the cooks are listening!" Kailena boasted.

"Master Kai, what would you like for desert?" one of them asked.

"Kai, I'm sorry, I can't speak to you like this." Mariah said in a disappointed tone and hung up. Now that Mariah had hung up, it was pathetic to carry on listening, so everyone else part from Kai who was in shock, hung up.

But a familiar voice brought him back to his senses. But not in a good way.

"B-BORIS!" Kai stuttered.

"Hmm, and there I thought you had forgotten all about me, what with that white tiger girl causing you so much grief. He laughed. Kai's heart practically jumped out his throat at the mention of Mariah.

"What do you want, Boris." Kai said in his usual, 'I don't care.' Voice.

"What do I want? I'll give you a clue, it's pink and beautiful."

"Don't you DARE bring her into this!!!" he yelled.

"Oh, did I hit a soft spot? Let me re-phrase that. We WANT black Dranzer!"

Kai paused for a moment, he had a choice between the one who made him feel good and worthwhile, or he had something that made him feel like throwing up. (If you cant tell, then your sick ppl!) The choice was easy.

"Fine, it's yours." He simply said.

"Giving in so quickly? Now I KNOW that's not how we raised you, infact that's all he really wants, black Dranzer, and you."

"He? You mean my grandfather, Voltaire." He said almost silently.

"This could've been avoided if you had just followed Spencer, and now your girlfriend has been dragged into this..or maybe, I'll have her myself! She's a good blader, and if looks could kill, she'd be extremely useful to us! He chuckled as he hung up.

"Boris? BORIS! Don't you dare touch her!" he growled as he sprinted out his room and his house and headed for Mariah's.

*Mariah's*

Taylor was banging on the door to Mariah's locked room.

"Mariah, I'm sorry! Oh, come on! I did get the number, didn't I? You should be thanking me!" she attempted, but Mariah was blocking her out with her OutKast c.d. (A.N: *starts singing* hey, ya! Hey ya!) Taylor sighed.

"FINE! I'm going to Kenny's!" she said in an angry tone as she stormed out of the house. But she suddenly felt a strong hand go around her waist, while another went on her mouth, while pulling her away.

With much effort, Kai finally made it to Mariah's house. He started banging on the door like a maniac. Mariah eventually opened it.

"Kai?"
