Rei: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. My comp was broken for a while, and skool was horrible and I had a lot of homework.
Rath: Not to mention she's been in Harry Potter, Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin mode lately, thusly, forgetting about her BB fic, which people actually have on their favorites list. (She's reading a RuroKen fic as she writes this) And she was debating whether or not she should write a lemon, but decided to not post it. If anyone wants it you have to email her at:
blossom1010@msn.com
The aol account that Rath is registered under is no longer working, and She's been too lazy to change it.
Rei: yeah...Another thing, I got a new kitten that we have to bottle feed and everything. He's here with me right now... His name is Akira... (yea.... thinkin of RuroKen.... Tomoe's fiance.)
"He's taken off with a fixated ghost. That totally violates the laws of the underworld."- Botan, Yu Yu Hakusho (the manga)

"KAAAAAIII!! REEEEEEIIIII!!!"- Mai pounded on the door, ready to pick the lock, or force it open in a more physical way. She raised her fist to knock again when it was pulled open. Rei stood there, looking sleepy. "Huh? Mai? What's up?" Mai slapped her forehead dramatically. "We have lunch with the White Tigers in 10 minutes."
"WHAT?! Aww, jeeze. I'll be out in a minute." "Wait. Where's Kai?" "I dunno. He left a while ago." Rei ran back in to get ready, at the same time Kai appeared. "Kai. Why didn't you tell Rei that we're having lunch with the White Tigers today?"- Mai asked sweetly. "Whoops."
"Whoops is right!" Rei came out of the room, in his usual Chinese outfit.
~*~*~
"Hey, Rei. You're late. Not like you."- Lee said as Kai, Mai and Rei entered the restaurant. "Yeah, well, Kai forgot to tell me about this little lunch, so I found out when Mai nearly killed my door, 20 minutes ago." "Killed your door? I wasn't aware I could kill a door." Mai smirked. "Shut up!"
"Hey, so you're Lee..."- Mai studied Lee, circling him. "Yeah.... And you are?? Will you stop circling me?!" "And here I was thinking Rei was the only neko-jin. You all look like cats. Must me a White Tiger thing. I'm Mai Hiwatari." "Wait. Hiwatari? As in Kai Hiwatari?!" The bubbly pink haired Mariah decided to speak up now. "Yeah. Tell me you didn't notice some similarities?" "Huh?" Mariah blinked. Then pointed enthusiastically." You- you-you-you-you're twins!!"
"Bingo, bingo, you win the prize!" (A/N Sound familiar? It's the same line Botan used when Yusuke figured out he was a ghost.)
"Hey, It's not my fault I didn't notice."
"You didn't notice I had the same color hair, eyes, skin and the fact that Kai and I are the only ones who paint our faces like that? You've got to be slow to not notice." Mai smiled. She was enjoying tormenting the pink bimbo. (a/n it's not that I don't like Mariah, I just don't think Mai and Mariah would get along very well.)
Mariah pouted and stood next to Lee, sticking out her tongue when she thought Mai wasn't looking. Mai flipped Mariah off when she knew for sure she wasn't looking.
"Ooooohhhh FOOD!!"
"Tyson you get back here, and wait for everyone else!!!!" Mai grabbed Tyson's ear and pulled him back. Everyone snickered as Tyson struggled against the pale hand latched onto his ear. "Stay until we're seated or you'll have to train from sunrise to sunset tomorrow, with no food." Tyson's eyes widened. "You wouldn't" "Watch me." Mai's eyes glinted crimson and showed she would. Tyson gulped and nodded.
"Okay, Tyson. You can come now!!" Tyson ran around the corner and frowned. The waitress was leaving. How was he gonna get the food?! "HEEEEEYYY!!!" "Relax. We got you the 'all you can eat' buffet, but in your case, you just might make the restaurant go bankrupt before you're full." Lee said matter of factly.
They ate. Mariah sent glares at Mai, Mai just smiled. Rei discretely leaned so his and Kai's arms brushed occasionally. Tyson stuffed his face and went back for fourths. Max happily sipped his caffeine filled soda, and Mariah sighed and hung on Lee's arm, while Kevin and Gary chatted.
They finished and said their goodbyes, and Mariah stuck her tongue out at Mai one last time. Finally, Mai made her move. "Mariah, I challenge you." "Huh?" Mai shook head. "I challenge you to a Beyblading match. Do I need to spell it out?" "FINE! I ACCEPT!"
The White Tigers and Bladebreakers walked to the park that Kai and Mai had practiced at the day before and found an empty dish. "3.....2......1 LET IT RIP!!!"- Max yelled.
"Presea, start it off with an attack." Mai yelled and Presea obeyed. "Galux dodge." Galux dodged it with ease and Mai smirked evily. "You fell into my trap, say goodbye to your pussycat." "PRESEA, FROZEN LIGHTNING!!!" "Frozen wha--" Mariah frowned.
Lines of blue lightning raced across the bowl, surrounding Galux, who mewed pathetically. Before Mariah could devise a counter, the circle of lightning closed and her blade flew through the air in a perfect arch before landing right in front of Mariah. "I won."- Mai said simply, catching her blade as it flew to her.
"Did you really need to use a Frozen Thunder attack? You could have won with a normal attack. "- Kai scowled. "I could have. But she kinda pissed me off, so I didn't think straight. Plus, alls well that ends well, right?"- Mai smiled, and as an afterthought added "I never liked that saying"
Mariah grumbled. Lee grinned at Mai before turning to comfort the pink-haired tiger. Mai smirked and yawned, "Let's go back to the hotel. I want to get some training in before dark." "Ummmm... Mai? It's 5 hours until the sun even starts to set...."- Rei reminded her. "WOW!! You're gonna train for 5 hours?!"- Tyson looked shocked.
Mai took up a face too cheerful to be natural and said "Yes! And unless you want to join me. you'll shut up!!" Needless to say, Tyson shut up.
