Wingzero: This is a Kai/Ray fic with a little Tala/Ray to the side. Basically, Tala and Kai have been competing against each other ever since they were little. Both of them have a crush on Ray so they are doing whatever it takes to win his heart, but Ray's heart belongs to none other than his cold hearted team captain, Kai.

DS: That is one long line.

Wingzero: You think.

Ray: Why am I paired up with Kai?

Wingzero: Would you rather be paired up with Mariah?

Ray: XO Heck no!!!!!

Wingzero: I thought so.

Mariah: HEY!!!! What's wrong with being my boyfriend????

Lee: Other than her mood swings nothing.

Mariah: *glares at Lee*

Lee: *cowers*

Wingzero: O_o Man she has him whipped.

Ray: O_O!!!! I know.

The two of us ran through the busy streets of Russia, hoping to find our missing team mates before it was too late. I didn't want either of them to end up as hostages. In fact, I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemies, excluding Boris and Voltaire. They were the worst humans ever to exist on this planet. Now that I thought about it, I wouldn't exactly call them humans as they certainly didn't act human.

Turning the corner, we found nothing, not a single trace of either Tyson or Max. I mentally slapped myself. Why didn't I think of this sooner? I could easily locate them using my psychic powers and we didn't have to be running all over this city trying to find them. I pulled Kai over and he looked like he was going to explode or something.

"What is it?" Kai demanded to know on the spot.

"I have an idea on how we are going to find Tyson and Max," I said, getting his full attention. "My powers allow me to locate people by their unique mental waves or auras as some people might call it. We don't have to be running around the city looking for them."

"Then start cracking," Kai said coldly. His crimson eyes darted around as if he was expecting someone to jump out of the shadows and attack us.

Using my psychic powers, I spread my presence all over the city. I started out with the usual places either of them would most likely head off to. Knowing Tyson, the chances of finding him at a restaurant were very high. As for Max, it was hard to say, but I think he was more into beyblade parts or toys. He once told me he started a plushie collection. Scanning the city took longer than I had originally thought. There were more people out there and finding two certain bladers was going to be hard as is.

"Well?" Kai tapped his foot impatiently.

"You try pinpointing two boys in a crowd of over ten thousand," I scowled at him. "It's like finding a needle in a haystack. I have to search every corner and if I can't sense them, then they must be unconscious."

"Then hurry up, we don't have all day," Kai barked at me.

"Why don't you do it yourself?" I grumbled as I concentrated on Tyson and Max. My eyes snapped wide open as I felt their signature patterns. "It's coming from over there." I pointed down the street.

"Good, Boris' men are on the other side," Kai said, racing through the crowd, not caring whether he bumped or pushed anyone.

I, on the other hand, followed a step behind him and apologized for his rudeness. The people gave him dirty looks while they gave me looks of pity for being stuck with this insensitive bastard. Several passing tourist watched as we ran down the streets as if our lives depended on it. Suddenly, we heard several shrieks as we passed by a large crowd of teens.

"It's the Bladebreakers!!!"

"Oh my gosh, Kai's more handsome in person!!!"

"Ray's so cute!!!"

"Will you marry me???"

"Why don't they shut up?" Kai cursed.

"They're excited to see two world beyblade champions," I answered his sarcastic remark. "In any case, we have to hurry up or we may lose our team mates to Biovolt."

Kai didn't answer and hurried up. We sped through the streets as if we were racing the cars. I didn't know it before, but we recently found out that Boris had used Kai in several experiments. They were trying to increase his strength, agility, reflexes, speed, and endurance. Basically, they were making the perfect soldier or blader.

I made a sharp turn, causing Kai to double back. When I sensed them again, I felt their energies moving in a different direction. They must have been on the move or on a fast transport as they were going at an increased speed. Fortunately for us, Kai and I weren't your average humans. We were able to run faster than any human unless they had been upgrade like Kai.

"Are you sure you're heading in the right direction?" Kai asked, breathing a bit more deeply.

"Yes, I'm sure," I snapped back at him. Truthfully, I didn't want to have to keep running, a mental tab on our two missing team mates, and a conversation with my cold team captain. It was too much for my mind and body to handle. "Each person has a unique aura or wave pattern to them. I can differentiate between them."

"Hn," was all Kai's reply.

Turning the corner, we had a few seconds to register a high wall and jump over it. I wasn't surprised Kai cleared it as he had the power behind the jump, though Kai was surprised that I could. Then he remembered that I was a neko. We resumed our little chase to end up at another wall. This time it was low enough for us to clear without putting much effort into it.

Once we were out of the alley, I used my powers to locate them once again. They had stopped for the meantime. I took it as they were at a stop light so I motioned for Kai to hurry up before they were on the move again. He nodded his head to signal that he understood my message. We were off again.

Kai seemed he had enough of this running around. I couldn't teleport to where the others were, because I had to know the place before I teleported to it. Shaking my head, I noticed how the distance between them and us was decreasing rapidly. Good thing, they were at a stop light. Hopefully, it wouldn't change until we were there. Since we were running at a high speed, we overtook them in the bus.

"Hey guys over here!" Tyson yelled out the window. A certain blonde poked his head beside the loud mouthed beyblader.

"We're coming," I shouted back at him, when we were able to stop and head towards the bus. Fortunately, we were able to make it onto the transport before the light turned red. Yes, it was a busy intersection and there were people crossing the street.

Kai took the seat behind them. I followed and sat next to him, but he didn't seem to mind it. "We need to go back to the hotel."

"Why is that?" Tyson pouted. "We haven't finished seeing the city."

"Biovolt," I replied in a cold voice. I could have sworn that Kai was rubbing off on me.

Tyson and Max nodded their heads. Their expressions became serious when they heard that one word. Through our experience, we knew they would do anything to gain power. Boris had manufactured bit beasts through technology or upgraded existing ones. Voltaire used his own grandson to do his dirty work for him.

"The chief is unprotected," I informed them with concern. "He's alone at our apartment and I fear Boris will use it to his advantage."

"We have to go then," Tyson said, standing up, but the bus was currently in motion so we had to wait until the next stop to get off.

"I can't believe they're still after you, Kai," Max said with disbelief.

"They're not only after me," Kai replied calmly.

"Who are they after?" Tyson inquired daringly.

"They're after Ray," Kai said. He glanced over in my direction.

"Why are they after Ray?" Tyson asked yet another question.

"I'll answer it when we are back at our apartment," I said as we were heading towards the downtown area in the bus.

"It will take forever for us to walk back," Tyson groaned. "The next bus heading our way isn't for another few hours. By then it will be too late."

"I agree with him for once," Kai spoke up. "We'll have to find another means of arriving at our destination before they do."

"What do you propose?" Max asked.

"It has to do with why they want Ray," Kai answered for me.

"Okay," Tyson and Max said hesitatingly.

"Let's get off here," I said, looking at the bus stop. I had signaled the driver that we wanted to get off so she could pull over. We weren't the only ones who wanted to depart. There were a few people who needed to get off at this stop as well.

"Where do we go from here?" Tyson asked stepping off the bus.

"We're going to a deserted alleyway," Kai replied, taking the lead.

"But wouldn't they want us to be there?" Max pointed out.

"We won't be there long enough for them to find us," Kai said, not liking where this was heading. "We are not going to be staying there for more than a few minutes."

"But still.." Tyson said nervously with his hands behind his head. "It doesn't make it any safer."

"Would you rather us leave you here?" Kai asked sarcastically.

"No thanks," Tyson said. He kept silent for the rest of the walk.

As soon as we arrived at an abandoned alleyway, I mentally scanned the area while Kai destroyed all surveillance cameras in the area. He wanted to make sure that no one caught me on tape teleporting with the others. Not that it would help. Boris and Biovolt were after me.

"What are you doing?" Max inquired.

"We are looking for anyone or anything that might catch what we're doing," I responded as Kai was in no mood to be answering any more questions. "I'm finished with mine."

"Same here," Kai said, jumping down from a window sill and next to me. "Let's go." He held out his hand for me to hold.

"Aw, Kai's getting close to.." Tyson was cut off by a certain blonde jabbing him in the rib cage. He gave Tyson a quick glare, before heading towards us. He grabbed onto my other hand while I held onto Kai's hand.

"You have two choices," I informed Tyson. "You can either hold onto Kai's hand or Max's hand, but you have to make your decision quick."

Could you guess which hand Tyson decided to take? It wasn't that hard to figure out. He had a crush on one of them and he argued a lot with the other one. This doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. Dragoon's holder chose to grab onto none other than Max's hand. He smiled cheerfully when he was able to hold onto the blonde's hand.

"As this is going to be your first time, you might want to close your eyes or something," I warned them.

"What do you mean by that?" Tyson questioned as I had concentrated on our apartment.

Suddenly, we found ourselves back at the apartment with Tyson and Max, toppled over and swirly eyes. Did I not just tell them to close their eyes? Apparently, they weren't listening or they weren't quick enough. I then noticed Kai wasn't as dizzy as he was when he first was teleported with me. He must have gotten used to it or he was expecting it.

"Come on you two," Kai scowled, pulling the two bladers onto their feet. "We have a situation and you're not helping it."

"Of course," Tyson said, recovering from his dizzy spell. "Where's Kenny?"

"He's sleeping," I informed him. "And he's still here. I can sense him."

"Okay," Max hesitated in saying. "How do you do it?"

"I'm a psychic," I informed the others as we made our way towards the bedrooms. "I have other abilities such as telekinesis, mental shields or barriers, telepathy, mind reading abilities, flight, and a few others. I'm still growing in my powers."

"That's cool," Tyson and Max chirped. They started talking about my special abilities.

"What do we do now?" I inquired from Kai.

"We stay low," Kai replied in a serious and cold voice. "We cannot stay in Russia for long or they will find us. Japan is not a choice either. They will easily find us there, as four of us live there. We need a place to crash for the short term."

"I think my mom will let us stay at her place," Max spoke up. "She has a large place and I .."

"She will most likely want to study me," I interrupted him. "No offense, but I don't think she's the type of person to pass up this opportunity to study a psychic, especially since we are very rare. I don't know out of how many people are born with this ability, because it hasn't been recorded. I know they tried to stay low."

"It still beats being used as a weapon against the world," Tyson pointed out that fact.

"True," I hated to admit it, but he was right. I would rather be poked and prodded as Michael called it instead of being used as a weapon against the entire world. "I don't like it, but I don't have much of a choice."

"I'll make sure she doesn't study you too much," Max assured me with a small smile. "She wouldn't say no to me, at least I hope so."

"I hope so too," I sighed.

"I suggest you stop talking and start packing," Kai said coldly. He turned to our shared room and entered in it. "We don't have much time and I seriously do not want to go back to Abbey to become Boris' special project."

"I'd better go pack," I sighed as I went to our shared room. I then noticed Tyson and Max give each other a reassuring squeeze before heading to their rooms.

"They don't know what they're getting into," Kai spoke. "Tyson knows about the bit beast experiments, but he doesn't know about the human experiments. He doesn't understand."

"That's an experience I would rather not go through," I spoke.

My belongings flew neatly into my traveling bag. Not to mention, I was folding some of my clothes by hand. Kai seemed to be amused by how I packed my belongings. He had a only the essentials with him, but I figured it was due to his training. They were taught to survive with the basic supplies and to 'forage' for them or to adapt. We met back in the living area. Kenny had taken the liberty to call Mr. Dickenson and the BBA, concerning our recent events.

"From what you tell me this can't be good," Mr. Dickenson said, sipping his cup of tea. "I'll have security around this hotel room and area. No one will be able to sneak past without one of our guards noticing."

"That's the problem," Kai spoke harshly. "They aren't your average crooks. They were trained to be professional soldiers. It will take more than cops or BBA agents to handle them."

"What do you propose then?" Tyson's dad asked Kai.

"We get out of here as soon as possible," Kai said. "I know Rei could teleport us out of here, but that will decrease his energy and we should save that as a last resort. Flying is our first option; however, we'll need fake passports and disguises."

"I don't know about this," Tyson said nervously. "Wouldn't that be like.... against the law?"

"Do you want Ray to end up as a weapon of mass destruction?" Kai glared at the holder of the storm dragon.

"I never want my friends to be in danger," Tyson huffed. "I was only concerned."

"I should be able to whip up a few fake passports for us," Kenny volunteered. "As for the rest, you'll have to find a way to disguise yourself."

"What should we dress as?" I asked the others.

"How about tourists?" Max suggested. "With the tournament in all, we could easily blend in with the tourist and sneak to America."

"That's not a bad idea, Maxie," Tyson praised Max, who blushed a bright red.

"We'll get on it right away," Mr. Dickenson said as we heard the glass being smashed in.

Suddenly the room started filling up with tear gas. We tried to make our way out of it without bumping into teach other or furniture. I had a hard time navigating my way around the furniture. With my powers, I can easily sense where the others were, but I could not tell where the stupid pieces of wood were. I tripped over a stool that had been placed in the middle of the room. However, I was able to reach a door and open it to find it was the balcony I ended up on. This was just great.

I was about to place a shield up when I felt something sting me. I pulled it a dart out. This can't be good. I should head back into the smoke when I felt another stinging sensation and fell onto my knees. My world was turned upside down literally.

Quickly, I opened the door and was about to flee into the room when a strong arm grabbed my waist. I should have seen that coming, but with the tranquilizers inside of me, I wasn't exactly at my top form. Concentrating, I imagined teleporting back to my shared room, but I couldn't. Every single time I tried, I can't do it for some reason. Then I tried to send my captor back with telekinesis, but he was too heavy for me to accomplish it. That was when I noticed how my energy was draining.

'Help!' I telepathed to the others, hoping that they will come to my rescue. Sadly, they were currently fighting off the smoke and trying to get oriented.

"There is no one to help you," a familiar voice whispered in my ear.

'That's what you think,' I sent him mentally. My eyes widened as I realized that I still had the white tiger bit beast on me. I had to get him away from me as I didn't want him to end up as an experiment for Boris. Using what little power I had left, I teleported him to where the Chief was. I knew that he would take extreme care of Driger and understand what to do.

"Boris, we no longer have possession of the tiger bit beast," Tala scowled into his headset. "But we do have Ray. He's not going anywhere soon."

That was the last thing I heard before darkness overcame me. I don't remember what happened afterward or being carried somewhere. Normally, I had dreams; maybe even premonitions, but this time it was a dark void. I wondered if it was due to the sedatives or if it was something else all together.

My eyes fluttered open to find Tala sitting across from me. He was holding a strange object in his hand and eyeing me in a strange manner. What was up with him? I could have sworn he smiled for once. Then I noticed I onboard a moving transport. The loud whirling sounds made me believe I was in a copter. I reached towards my neck to feel a cold metal object there.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," the red head sneered.

"Why?" I asked, still tugging on the metal object. Out of nowhere, a blinding pain coursed throughout my body. I don't remember if I screamed or not, but I remembered blanking out for a few moments.

"What did I tell you?"

Turning around, I found Tala really close to me. His hand reached over towards me and pulled my chin so that our eyes made contact. "Shove it."

"You're in no position to be threatening me," Tala said coyly. "Why didn't you use your power during the Russian finals?"

"Why do you care?" I spat at him.

"It would have made this much easier if you told us," Tala spoke. He still was smiling.

"I'm not about to hand myself over so I can become Boris' puppet," I scowled. I tried to turn my head away, but he wouldn't allow me.

"I never expected to catch you this easily with one of the oldest tricks in the book," Tala said still smiling. "You Bladebreakers are too predictable."

My pupils became slits as I bared my fangs at him. "Why don't you shut up?"

"Why don't you make me?" Tala teased me.

"I'll more than gladly to," I growled at him. "Just as soon as you take off this metal contraption off of me."

"Now why would I do something like that?" Tala laughed in my face. "I know I don't have a chance against your psychic powers."

"So you're saying that you're scared of me?" I said, attempting to turn the tables.

"Let's say, I know when I'm outmatched," Tala corrected me. "I know the difference between fear and understanding my limit."

"I still say you're completely chicken," I said narrowing my eyes even further.

"Oh, is that so?" Tala inquired playfully.

"Yeah," I said trying to break free from his grip. Before I knew it, his lips met mine and pressed on them. I wanted to push him off but with these restraints and the sedative in my blood, I didn't have enough power. He twisted my wrist and I involuntarily gasped allowing his tongue to enter my mouth. I thought about biting his tongue when I felt something rub a private part. I didn't want to but I moaned into his mouth and pressed my hips upwards into his hand. When he broke the kiss, he pulled out his hand.

"I bet you liked it," he purred into my ear.

"No, I don't," I growled at him.

"Than what is that?" He inquired coyly as he pointed to a certain location.

When I saw it, I couldn't believe what I saw. My mind kept telling me that I didn't like it, but my body had a different opinion. "It's none of your business."

"It is my business," Tala said. "I've been chosen to guard you and make sure no harm comes to you. Let's see what we can do to solve your 'little' problem."

For the next minutes, I experienced a high, if that was what you call it. It felt like nothing I have ever felt before. I felt like I was on cloud nine or on a different world all together. Suddenly, I felt an explosion, followed by a blinding white light. When my eyes readjusted to the light, Tala was laying next to me.

"You know you are very tasty," he purred.

"You didn't eat me," I huffed and turned away from him. He used that moment to slip his arm around my waist and place his head on my shoulder.

"You don't think so?"

"I know so. What was that?"

Tala chuckled. "That was your first release."

"Okay," I said nervously. "Would you mind taking your arm off of me?"

"Nah," Tala said. "You are comfortable."

"Don't make me repeat myself," I scowled at him.

"You know you're cute when you're mad," Tala purred once again. He licked my sensitive ear, which caused me to shudder.

"Shut up," I replied and closed my eyes, hoping that I would find myself in Kai's arms rather than that obnoxious red head.
