Chapter Four: The Jade Dragon
**************************************************************************** ****************************
*Ray's POV*
Okay so I'm really, really bored. I'm visiting my Uncle Stan in Paris and as much as I just LOVE visiting him I really just can't be bothered, I totally miss my friends and well I dunno if I should call them or what y'know? I mean sure it's fun here et j'ai parlez francias tres bien mais c'est ne passionant pas. And if you can't speak French then I've just said and I speak French very well but it's just not exciting. I'm so bored I'm even thinking of going to visit Oliver on one of his daily 'Painting inspections' But nah I think I'd rather call Kai and see how he's coping at school, or Tyson, Hilary and Kenny or something.maybe even Max! I could even call Mariah or write the White Tigers a letter, right it's treize heures, so it's one o'clock, which means in Japan it's nine o'clock in the morning and in America it's five o'clock in the morning so I guess I can't call Max, I could call Kai but school must have just started and ditto to Tyson and co . . .so I'm stuck. I'm stuck here until mid November, okay so I'll just go for a walk, it's Paris right so maybe I'll meet someone I mean it IS the City of love isn't it?
"Uncle Stan! Uncle Stan! I'm away out for a walk okay?" I yell as I walk through the restaurant,
"Sure thing kid! Just don't get lost k'?" I hear my Uncle Stan yelling out after me, he's such a worry bag I won't let, well at least I . . .uh I don't think I will!
Ah Paris! Its such a nice place to be at this time of the year all the painters are out trying to catch the atmosphere and the leaves of Autumn. The city is best at night though, the pavements glistening with the rain reflecting the moonlight starlight caught in the trees. It's a really nice place to be. I stroll along the pavements following the direction of the Eiffel Tower,
"Hey! Hey Ray!" I hear a few people calling my name, I turn around and I'm face to face with Johnny, Robert, Enrique and Oliver. They run up to me, I smile well hey at least it's someone I can talk to!
"Hey Ray how are you?" asks Robert,
"I'm okay Robert, how are you guys doing?" I ask,
"Fine," replies Oliver, "We're all fine,"
"Easy for you to say! You weren't the one who ate so many French pastries you were sick!" says Johnny clutching his stomach, I laugh at him, he acts so tough and yet all it takes is too many cakes to bring a warrior down,
"Oh that reminds me Ray, a girl came round to my house back in Rome she was looking for you," says Enrique, I narrow my eyes,
"A girl? Looking for me?" I ask perplexed, "I can't think of any girl's who'd follow me around except Hilary, Miriam, Salima or Mariah, possibly Emily but hey I don't know,"
"No it wasn't Emily or Mariah, she came to me too," says Johnny,
"Yes me too," says Robert,
"Kinda shoulder length black hair, about four foot eight-ish, wearing Chinese clothes, big gold eyes white kimono over black trousers, cloth wound around her arms, and a sword dangling from her belt? Looks kinda like Ray?" asks Oliver,
"Yeah, except when I saw her she had a black cloak on," replies Enrique,
"Yeah ditto and likewise for me!" says Johnny, Robert nods,
"Me too," he says.
I stand really confused, I don't know anyone like that well actually I do, I know quite a lot of girls who go by that in the village back home, but I don't know any reason for them to be following me or trying to find me! It must be a girl from village cos it sure isn't Hilary, Salima or Miriam.
"Did she say anything else?" I ask,
"We were to call her The Jade Dragon," says all four at once,
"Jade was our families precious stone so it could be any one just using its name to respect our Elders, I don't have a clue!" I say shaking my head,
"Well erm . . .she gave me her number," says Enrique,
"She did?" the other Majestics say,
"Well can I call her?" I ask, Enrique nods and passes me a bit of paper and his cell phone, "Thanks!" I dial the number and press call, my heart beats rapidly in my chest and my hands are sweating. It's ringing; it rings four times before someone picks up,
"Ciao Enrique! Come sta?" Says the voice happily it's speaking in Italian I can't speak Italian oh what do I say!
"Uh hello?" I ask a bit unsure,
"What who is this? Enrique?" the voice asks again, "Who are you?"
"My name is Ray Kon, I've heard you've been asking for me?" I say, I can hear the voice gasp,
"Big brother?" the voice asks suspiciously,
"Jade? Is that you? What are you doing out the village?" I ask,
"Looking for you." Jade says angrily, I slap myself mentally that's why she wasn't in the village when I returned home for a few weeks, then will she still think I'm a-
"Traitor," Jade growls, "I came out searching for you to set you straight, you're in Paris I see,"
"How did you know?! Jade don't you dare speak that way to me again!" I say getting slightly annoyed,
"Look! I just know these things okay I have my sources . . .and I'm in Paris too, maybe we can meet up and I'll finally set you straight! Infact meet me at the Eiffel Tower at two, be there or else." says Jade, she hangs up,
"Damn! She still thinks I'm a traitor!" I curse,
"What's wrong Ray? Do you know who she is?" asks Oliver,
"She's my little sister Jade, Jade Kon she's been out searching for me," I say, "We're going to meet at the Eiffel Tower at two o'clock,"
"We'll come too," says Robert.
* * *
A few hours later!
* * *
I stand at the Eiffel Tower awaiting my sister; I have a feeling she won't show. A feeling that lurks in my gut along with the chicken fried rice I had for lunch. Poor Jade, she's been out looking for me ever since I left the village! She's been so mislead.Mariah and Gary heck, even Kevin and Lee managed to finally see just why I left our little home town but Jade, Jade is different. She's the kind of person who when she sits down to think really thinks, she must've decided some drastic to go against our Elder's code to 'Never Leave the Village unless you're going to get something very important' . . .sheesh! It makes me feel sick just thinking about it.
'Marry my daughter Raymond!'
'Hey Raymond make a loaf of bread white not brown!'
'Raymond go and hunt down some rabbit so I can make a pie or better yet you do it yourself!'
'Raymond will you teach me how to launch my beyblade?'
Sure I love my little home town it's just it got too demanding, I love my Driger and my beyblade and my friends too in fact I spent about ninety nine point nine per cent of my time with them and I guess . . .well . . .I've never had time to play with my little sister . . .I barely even know her! She seems so distant, I wish I hadn't neglected her so much instead of being so 'Lone Wolf' I've dedicated all my time to Driger, the White Tigers and the Bladebreakers I might not as well have a little sister! I push the thought to the back of my head and shudder; I stare out the window the view helps soothe my troubled thoughts. I hear footsteps behind me, and turn to face The Jade Dragon.
"WHAT?! You're not my sister?!" I exclaim, the girl standing in front of me is small and has shoulder length black hair and big gold eyes, her eyes narrow and she rests her hand on the Katana dangling from her belt,
"You'd better believe it, brother," she growls, I smile warmly at her,
"Jade, why did you cut your beautiful hair?" I ask, I can see her upper lip curl into an unforgiving cat-like scowl,
"Because I don't want people to think I'm your sister, my name is Jade Dragon," she says, I take a step towards her and she draws her sword from her obi,
"Don't come any closer! Or I'll cut off your hands!" she says coolly, I stop and put my hands up indicating a surrender I grin and laugh,
"Okay, enough with your little games Jade! You win I lose . . ." I laugh,
"IT'S NOT A GAME! You're a traitor! Taking the bit-beast Driger that didn't rightfully belong to you in the first place and then fleeing . . .you- YOU ARE SUCH A COWARD!" She yells angrily, I see the tears stream down her face; I gasp, my mouth sags open,
"Jade . . .you're living in the past! Didn't Lee tell you?" I ask,
"Lee didn't tell me anything! I left to find you and recover Driger giving it to its rightful owner Lee himself shortly after you left!" Jade says gripping the hilt of her sword tighter,
"Jade . . .but the Elder . . ." I begin,
"ELDER NOTHING! That Elder was Lee's grandfather he's a much of a traitor as you are!" she yells, "I ought to rip you apart!"
This angers me, 'I ought to rip you apart' who does she think she is? More importantly . . .whom does she think she's talking to? I narrow my hazel eyes angrily,
"Jade you're my little sister for God's sake!" I say angrily, she lowers her eyes but keeps her Katana up at arms length holding it horizontally,
"You- you killed mother . . .and as you know father died many years ago. JJ and I were left orphaned, we have no parents I sent JJ to live with grandmother however I stayed, I became depressed I tried suicide but it never worked, I have no life . . .I have nothing. You did this to me. I was put through an eternity of pain. Your little sister would've forgiven you. But I'm not your little sister I'm your enemy. And I will make you suffer." She says in a monotone style.
I bite my lip. I've dishonoured my sister so much, I feel so guilty, one thing's for sure I doubt that Jade will pass up the chance to take a crack at me with that sword of hers, I sigh deeply.
"Jade, I know how you feel," I say calmly,
"NO YOU DON'T! YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW I FEEL! You . . .you're a monster . . .I'm going to kill you Ray, you've brought this upon yourself . . .sorry Ray . . .actually no, I'm not sorry.not sorry at all . . .I'm going to enjoy watching you die," she says readying her katana,
"Jade stop being stupid! Grow up for god's sake! I know I've dishonoured our family but that's no reason to try to kill me off! And I didn't kill mother she died of heart failure and yes I know father is dead but that doesn't give you permission to start acting irrationally! . . .Who is JJ?" I ask,
"JJ is your four year old brother, if you had stayed long enough mother was going to tell you she was pregnant but no . . .you left, JJ doesn't even know he has a brother I've told him about you but he refuses to believe that his Big Brother would desert us . . .he forgives you . . .hell, he doesn't even know you and he forgives you. He's a sweet kid, he's like dad."
I see Jade rub a tear from her eye with the back of her hand, I can feel tears sting my eyes at the mention of our father's name, my dad died just over four years ago several months before I left the village. JJ that was what dad wanted to call me, JJ it stands for Jin-Jonah, which was my grandfather's name.
"Jade, I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry for everything.honest I am.it just I-"
RING! RING! RING! RING! I cringe; I can hear my mobile go off in my pocket, Jade stops and gives me an 'It's-a-phone-pick-it-up-you-dumbass' look. I reach into my pocket and pull out my brick of a mobile but I love it. I read the screen it says Kai Mobile . . .SALVATION! Thank god, I pick up.
"Hello?" I ask trying not to burst into song with happiness,
"Ray! You have to help me! Please!" I hear Kai cry down the phone, I can hear him wince and sob through his talking.
"Kai? What's wrong? What's goin' on?" I ask, Kai's in trouble.he never pleads,
"Someone . . .is trying to kill me! She's from the Abbey out for revenge please she's already tried to get me she's after me right now but I've locked the room door . . .please Ray . . .you've got to help me! She's a psycho! Please come pick me up do something! Ray please!" he pleads, I can hear his voice quiver he's scared . . .he's scared bloody witless!
"Kai, don't worry I'll help you! Funny you should say that you have someone after you . . .so I do I . . .in a way," I say, Kai gasps,
"Is it a Demolition Boy? Ray is it some jackass from the Abbey over in Russia?" Kai asks me desperately searching for advice to give me in his head,
"No, it's my little sister," I say calmly, I hear Kai snicker slightly on the other line,
"Your little sister?" he asks,
"Jade Kon, equipped with a katana and a bad attitude . . .not to mention a grudge . . .she's back for her revenge, another case of 'Driger doesn't belong to you!'" I say, I watch her growl at the mention of her name,
"You'd better believe it," I can hear her mutter, I revert my eyes from her and run my hand stressfully through my mop of raven hair, I hear a thump and Kai swearing loudly over the phone,
"Look Kai! I'll see if I can catch the next plane over okay? I've just got to deal with Jade first. I'll call Mr Dickinson looks like we're going to have to have a Bladebreakers reunion sooner than I'd thought. Just hang in there Kai, keep all doors and windows locked." I warn him,
"Thanks Ray, I really need you here. I've got to go or Mara is going to chop down the door see you later Ray," Kai says and with that he hangs up. I hang up and shove my mobile in my pocket,
"It seems your stupid little teammates are having some trouble Ray, what are you going to do about it?" Jade smirks,
"You did this didn't you?" I demand, she laughs,
"No, it sure is clever though."
"Look Jade, this'll have to wait. Kai's life hangs in the balance, you can get your revenge some other day," I say as I begin to walk away, she darts in front of me and holds her katana at my neck,
"No, you're not running away again. Let Kai die for all I care, I'm getting my revenge." She says angrily,
"JADE! I don't have time for this! Stop it! Stop it right now! I don't care about all this revenge shit! I've had just about enough of your stupid little games . . .go away! Go back to the village just because I neglected you doesn't mean you have to neglect your little brother! Now do me a favour and fuck off!" I yell angrily, I recoil; I can't believe I just did that. I . . .I never meant it to come out like that honest! Oh my god . . .I watch her golden eyes crease with tears and her lip quiver,
"Oh my god . . .Jade I'm so sorry!" I say,
"Save it. You never loved me . . .you never even cared," she says tears start to dispense from her eyes, "All you ever cared about was beyblading and your stupid friends . . .you never had any time for me . . ."
"Jade . . ." I say, oh God what have I done. I approach her slowly,
"Why should I still live?" she asks, she lifts her katana to her neck and rests it there, she looks over at me and bites her lip. She isn't going to do what I think she's going to . . .SHIT!
"No Jade! No! Don't do it!" I beg her; oh this is my entire fault, "Jade! I'm really sorry please don't!" I watch her grasp the hilt of her katana tighter, she shakes her head.
"Bye Ray, I'm going to a better place . . .where I'll be appreciated . . ." I see a black blur spin past me and knock the sword out her hand. Unfortunately it slices deeply into her left shoulder leaving an angry trail of red staining her kimono; I run to her aid and look at the object that just saved my sister's life . . .a black shoe? I look over my shoulder to see Enrique, Oliver, Robert and Johnny waving. Johnny only has on one shoe and is holding his other in his hand with a grin. It was Johnny's good aim that saved my sister.
I turn back to Jade her eyes are wide open with fear and pain, her teeth gritted painfully. She lifts her hand off her shoulder and stares at her own blood as if she's never seen it before, her eyelids then become heavy and she passes out in my arms.
"Thanks guys, I'll get Jade's wound wrapped up and then I'm heading back to Japan," I say with a smile,
"No problem Ray we'll be here if you need us," says Oliver,
"Yes if you need us just give us a call," says Robert,
"Come visit us some time," says Johnny,
"Right, whenever in Rome visit Enrique Giancarlo!" laughs Enrique,
"Right, thanks guys I'd better go now," I say slinging Jade over my shoulder and walking off,
"Bye Ray!" I hear them wave their goodbyes to me as I walk off; this week sure has been strange.

"Kai, don't worry I'll help you! Funny you should say that you have someone after you . . .so I do I . . .in a way," I say, Kai gasps,
"Is it a Demolition Boy? Ray is it some jackass from the Abbey over in Russia?" Kai asks me desperately searching for advice to give me in his head,
"No, it's my little sister," I say calmly, I hear Kai snicker slightly on the other line,
"Your little sister?" he asks,
"Jade Kon, equipped with a katana and a bad attitude . . .not to mention a grudge . . .she's back for her revenge, another case of 'Driger doesn't belong to you!'" I say, I watch her growl at the mention of her name,
"You'd better believe it," I can hear her mutter, I revert my eyes from her and run my hand stressfully through my mop of raven hair, I hear a thump and Kai swearing loudly over the phone,
"Look Kai! I'll see if I can catch the next plane over okay? I've just got to deal with Jade first. I'll call Mr Dickinson looks like we're going to have to have a Bladebreakers reunion sooner than I'd thought. Just hang in there Kai, keep all doors and windows locked." I warn him,
"Thanks Ray, I really need you here. I've got to go or Mara is going to chop down the door see you later Ray," Kai says and with that he hangs up. I hang up and shove my mobile in my pocket,
"It seems your stupid little teammates are having some trouble Ray, what are you going to do about it?" Jade smirks,
"You did this didn't you?" I demand, she laughs,
"No, it sure is clever though."
"Look Jade, this'll have to wait. Kai's life hangs in the balance, you can get your revenge some other day," I say as I begin to walk away, she darts in front of me and holds her katana at my neck,
"No, you're not running away again. Let Kai die for all I care, I'm getting my revenge." She says angrily,
"JADE! I don't have time for this! Stop it! Stop it right now! I don't care about all this revenge shit! I've had just about enough of your stupid little games . . .go away! Go back to the village just because I neglected you doesn't mean you have to neglect your little brother! Now do me a favour and fuck off!" I yell angrily, I recoil; I can't believe I just did that. I . . .I never meant it to come out like that honest! Oh my god . . .I watch her golden eyes crease with tears and her lip quiver,
"Oh my god . . .Jade I'm so sorry!" I say,
"Save it. You never loved me . . .you never even cared," she says tears start to dispense from her eyes, "All you ever cared about was beyblading and your stupid friends . . .you never had any time for me . . ."
"Jade . . ." I say, oh God what have I done. I approach her slowly,
"Why should I still live?" she asks, she lifts her katana to her neck and rests it there, she looks over at me and bites her lip. She isn't going to do what I think she's going to . . .SHIT!
"No Jade! No! Don't do it!" I beg her; oh this is my entire fault, "Jade! I'm really sorry please don't!" I watch her grasp the hilt of her katana tighter, she shakes her head.
"Bye Ray, I'm going to a better place . . .where I'll be appreciated . . ." I see a black blur spin past me and knock the sword out her hand. Unfortunately it slices deeply into her left shoulder leaving an angry trail of red staining her kimono; I run to her aid and look at the object that just saved my sister's life . . .a black shoe? I look over my shoulder to see Enrique, Oliver, Robert and Johnny waving. Johnny only has on one shoe and is holding his other in his hand with a grin. It was Johnny's good aim that saved my sister.
I turn back to Jade her eyes are wide open with fear and pain, her teeth gritted painfully. She lifts her hand off her shoulder and stares at her own blood as if she's never seen it before, her eyelids then become heavy and she passes out in my arms.
"Thanks guys, I'll get Jade's wound wrapped up and then I'm heading back to Japan," I say with a smile,
"No problem Ray we'll be here if you need us," says Oliver,
"Yes if you need us just give us a call," says Robert,
"Come visit us some time," says Johnny,
"Right, whenever in Rome visit Enrique Giancarlo!" laughs Enrique,
"Right, thanks guys I'd better go now," I say slinging Jade over my shoulder and walking off,
"Bye Ray!" I hear them wave their goodbyes to me as I walk off; this week sure has been strange.
