Shower Curtains

Chapter 3

"Anyways," continued Mariah, "back to _Ray_… Do you—"

"Do you guys MIND?" finished Ray.

"Mind what?" asked Max.

"Leaving the bathroom! I need to get dressed!"

"But I'm your inspector! I _need_ to watch you!" said Mariah, adding quietly, "in more ways than one."

"Well, I'm getting cold!"

"Well then, we'll just have to get you dried off now don't we?" Tyson pulled out Dragoon and attached it to his launcher.

"No! Tyson! Don't!" exclaimed Ray in horror.

"LET IT RIP! DRAGOON! VICTORY TORNADO ATTACK!" yelled Tyson.

"Um… what's he attacking?" whispered Max to Kenny as they struggled to stay on the ground.

"I think it's the wall behind Ray… RAY! Don't move or Dragoon will hit you!"

"AHHHHHH!!!!" Ray shut his eyes tightly, gripping the shower curtain for dear life, "so… breezy… so… cold…" Ray shivered. "Tyson! Tyson! Stop it! I'm dry now!"

"No you aren't. You hair's still wet. Lemme get Dragoon closer…" said Tyson.

"MY HAIR! YOU'RE GONNA CUT MY HAIR!" shouted Ray.

A dark blue flash grazed Ray's nose and knocked Tyson's blade away from Ray. Bouncing off the walls, it was finally caught by Kai.

"You shouldn't blade inside a bathroom. You already somehow opened the window and blew Ray's clothes out of it. You might hit someone too, and knowing your recklessness, the chances are pretty high."

"Look who's talking… you bladed too!"

"To stop you. You don't expect me to dive in front of your blade, do you?"

"Well…" Tyson was lost for words, "…what are you doing here anyways? I thought you were going to leave us girls to our girl talk didn't you?"

Kai smirked, "you just admitted you're all girls."

"TYSON!" yelled the supposedly girls who glared at Tyson. Tyson cringed. Ray tied the shower curtain around him securely before stepping out of the tub. Deciding to go to his room for some clean clothes, he started to run out the door, when he slipped on the tiled floor landing on Kai. Ray's head, however, was unlucky enough to come into contact with the hard floor.

"Hiya Kai! I love you!" said Ray in a childish voice, and snuggled up to Kai playing with his scarf.

"Uh…" blushed Kai.

Kenny opened his trusty laptop. "Dizzi, what do you think?"

"Hm…" replied Dizzi, "I'm scanning Ray right now. It seems that he received a bump on the head a little too hard and has gone crazy… and that the cold's finally got to him. It could be because either one of those or a combination. You guys should take him to his room and put him to bed. Kai, since he's already on you, why don't you carry him?"

"NO WAY! Kai! Get your hands off my Ray!" snapped Mariah.

"Since when was Ray yours?" You two have never gone out," asked Max.

"So… it… I…" stuttered Mariah, before becoming frustrated, "Kai! Hands OFF! I'll carry him!" Tyson, Max and Kenny went wide-eyed.

Mariah rushed over to Ray. "Don't worry Ray, I won't let HIM touch you. You're—"

"NOOOO!! Kai! Don't let her take me away!" Ray wrapped his arms around Kai, causing Kai to stiffen and blush further.

"Ray… you don't know what you're talking about. I'm the good person here—"

"NOOOO!! KAI! HELP!" Ray tightened his grip on Kai. Kai started to have difficulty breathing.

"*GASP*help!*GASP*"

"Ray's gonna kill Kai! Like the ghost! *GASP* That means Ray's the ghost! AHHH!!" Tyson began to run around in circles. Max and Kenny on the other hand, rolled their eyes at Tyson and went to pry Ray off their captain.

"Geeze! Ray sure has a tight grip!" pointed out Max who pushed Mariah to the side and grabbed hold of Ray's leg.

"Watch it Max. You don't want to pull the shower curtain off," warned Kenny.

"Oh, right."

"*GASP* HURRY *GASP* CAN'T *GASP* BREATH! *GASP*"

"Serves you right! Hmpf!" said Mariah, sticking out her tongue at Kai and turning around with her arms crossed; when she remembered Ray was still on Kai. "Ray! Let go!"

"KAI! SAVE MEEEEEE!!!!" exclaimed Ray tightening his grip even further, causing Kai to gasp before falling unconscious.

"Ray's killed Kai! MURDER! MURDER! We gotta phone the police!" screamed Tyson, running out the door, only to be caught by his ponytail by Max. "AUGH! What was that for?"

"Kai's not dead… yet. We're gonna get them to bed… hopefully it will make Ray normal and he'll loosen his grip, allowing Kai to breath."

"How will we get them to their bedroom?" question Tyson.

"We could leave them here…" said Mariah.

"Don't be silly, Ray will definitely freeze here, and you don't want your BELOVED Ray to freeze do you?" said Kenny sarcastically.

"How about this?" Max shifted Ray's legs so that they were aligned with Kai's. "Kenny, grab Kai's left leg and I'll grab the right. Tyson… grab Kai's arm and… Mariah, you grab the other arm."

"And carry him? NO WAY!" said Mariah disgusted.

"Then you'll be responsible for the murder of Ray AND Kai… as Ray's inspector, don't you have to look out for Ray as well?" asked Kenny.

"… fine."

With Ray on Kai and Kai suspended between the four, they carried the two to their room. Ray mumbled all the way. Gently placing Kai and Ray on one of the beds, they tucked the two in. The last thing they needed was Ray catching a cold and becoming crazier than he was already, and the death of their captain. Ray had shifted off Kai, and nuzzled him, scarf in hand.

"Don't they look cute together? Kai's not yelling… Ray looks happy…" indicated Tyson.

"No they aren't! Ray would look SO much better with me," muttered Mariah.

"I think they look cute…" said Kenny as he opened his laptop. "Dizzi, capture this picture perfect moment."

"Huh? Oo, they DO look cute. *click* I wonder what their reaction would be to the picture when they're back to normal…"

~Tyson's Imagination~

"AUGH! What the heck is this?! Tyson! You're gonna pay for this!" yelled Kai.

"No… I didn't—"

"I'm gonna kill you!"

"But it wasn't—AUGH!!"

~Kenny's Imagination~

"What's this doing on your laptop? Kenny… you did this didn't you? I'll get you for this!" yelled Kai.

~Max's Imagination~

"Max! Why'd you lay me on Kai?! That's wrong!" shouted Ray.

"This was your idea… YOU WILL FACE MY WRATH!" cried Kai.

The boys shuddered at the thoughts. Mariah on the other hand, created something else in her mind.

~Mariah's Imagination~

"Whoa! What's this? I'm with Kai?! I can't believe I did that! Oh, Mariah, I'm SO sorry. Let me give you a hug—"

A dreamy look appeared on Mariah's face as she sighed.

"Kenny?" asked Tyson.

"I'm on it," replied Kenny quickly. Kenny decided to put the picture in folders of folders of folders, which were each password protected. "Dizzi, guard it. If you don't… I'll infect you with a virus."

"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" replied Dizzi.

"Oh yes, I would."

"But you neeeeeed MEEE!!!"

"I can always backup all my files and get another laptop," grinned Kenny.

"Okay, Okay! I'll guard it. Promise there'll be no virus!"

"I promise."

Mariah, snapping out of her dreamy state at Dizzi's yell, realized what was going on and protested.

"But they DESERVE to know the truth!"

"Maybe so, but it'll end up in OUR murder if they find out," exclaimed Max.

"Look, this'll how it'll be if we tell," pointed out Tyson, "Us equals *SPLAT*" Tyson smacked his hand together. Max and Kenny cringed.

"Fine…" said Mariah, not liking the sound of the result. She couldn't risk her relationship with Ray if it turned out that their way was right.

The bladers left the boys on the bed in peace, in hopes that they'd recover soon.
