Chapter 5: "Kenny's gone!!!" and memories of love......

"talking" 'thinking' [author's notes] ===============================================================They followed Milky into a dark alley and she suddenly disappeared.

"Where'd she go?" asked Ray as he looked around.

Then they heard an engine.

"Uh guys, do you hear something?" Max asked.

They turned to see a biker at the entrance of the alley. It has a black jacket, blue pants, black and white rubber shoes, a black helmet which was tinted, blue biker gloves and it was riding a black motorcycle [full of black and the biker seemed to shapely for a guy if you know what I mean].

The biker gunned up its engine 3 times then charged at them narrowly missing Tyson. It turned its bike around and charged at them again.

"Kenny, LOOK OUT!!!!!!" Max shouted.

But the biker picked Kenny up as it rode past him and sped away.

"HELP ME!!!!!" Kenny yelled as his mysterious kidnaper rode away.

"KENNY!!!!!!!" Tyson yelled as he tried to run after the bike. But then he just wound up stopping in his tracks because the bike was too far to reach.

'Now I know how Kai felt when he lost Shadow.....' Tyson thought as he just stayed there on the ground. He regrets ever seeing Milky........... Because if he didn't, Kenny would still be with them..........

They went back to the hotel and into their room with heavy hearts.

Tala and the other Demolition boys were playing a card game and Kai slept when they entered. They started to wonder why they were so disappointed.

"Did you catch up to her?" Ian asked as he looked at them when they sat on the couch.

"We lost her," Max said.

"Where's Kenny?" Spencer asked as he looked around for him.

The 3 members of the Bladebreakers looked at each other then Tyson said in disappointment "He's gone."

"What?!" said Tala as he stood up quickly.

"Somebody in a black motorcycle kidnapped him," Max explained.

"We need to search for him tomorrow. He's the one with the computer," said Bryan.

"Her name's Dizzi," Tyson retorted as Tala sat down and continued their game.

"Whatever. Which direction did you see them leave?" Spencer said.

"They were going into the park," said Ray as Spencer placed a card down.

"Then we'll start searching there," said Tala.

"Why would they want to kidnap that kid anyway?" Ian asked as he placed a card down.

"Only they know," said Tala while he placed a card down.

The Demolition boys finished their game [with Tala the winner] and they all went to sleep.

That night............

Kai woke up at 12 o'clock midnight and went to the balcony to look up at the moon. He remembered when he was a kid...........and when Shadow was still alive..............

"Kai?" said a familiar male voice.

Kai turned to see Ray near the door of his [Ray's] room looking at Kai with a confusing look. He said "Kai, what are you doing up? It's the middle of the night," as he approached the phoenix blader.

Then for the first time in his time with the Bladebreakers, Ray saw Kai smile.

"I was just.......remembering something......." said Kai as he looked at the moon again.

"Like what?" Ray asked.

"Like when Shadow and I used to secretly train together.........sometimes she won and sometimes I won. She used to get so upset when I won and she said it was just a fluke. Also when Shadow insulted my grandpa-- I mean Voltaire in front of our whole batch. He was about to send her out of the abbey if I hadn't stepped in and told him that I'll get out of the abbey with her," said Kai still smiling.

"You protected her.............. You two were best friends....... That's why you miss her, huh?" Ray said.

"Yup," said Kai "There's gonna be a winter dance this week."

"Really?" Ray said "You don't mind if I invite Mariah along, do you? She's coming here with Emily tomorrow."

"No, I don't mind. Ray, how long has Mariah loved you?" Kai said.

Ray was shocked at what Kai said. Not because of the fact that it was a somewhat PERSONAL question, it was because he talked about love.........

"She's loved me since as long as I can remember..........Kai, did you.............or I should say do you still..............love Shadow Blade?" Ray said as he smiled and looked at Kai.

Kai looked at him with the smile fading from his face. He then looked away. He never thought about it before but............does he love Shadow Blade? [NOTE: NOT THE AUTHOR, BUT THE CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!]

"I don't know.......I think............I do......" Kai said as he smiled again 'I think I do........' After, they both went back to their rooms and slept.
