Hey, people! I might not get a chance to update for a while, because my
cousins are coming for a week. They're leaving next Saturday, so...I'll try
my best to update, but I most likely can't this long weekend...Sorry! I
really want to update...I know how it feels to be kept waiting...like the
story, *cough* My Everything. (I know I'm weird, but I love that story!
Read it sometime!
Inuyasha is going to be restarting from the first episode on YTV! It sucks!
When I found out yesterday, I got really mad and I wanted to punch someone.
I know that I can download episodes from the internet. Believe me, I tried,
but my parents won't get cable connection for the internet, so it'll take
forever since I got dial-up.
So anyways, here is...
CHAPTER 13 – In the Alley... (This sounds spooky...)
"Who was that?" Tyson asked.
"No idea," Zarine lied.
"Don't lie, you guys have met before! He even called you Zarie!" Ray said vehemently.
"It's none of your business," she said frostily.
"Ray, leave it. She'll tell us eventually," Kai said, who was in his usual pose, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"I wouldn't wager on that," she said.
"Let's just get out of here," Max said.
The next day, after the Bladebreakers had won their third round, they went to the other stadium to see the match there. An exciting beybattle was going on there. The crowd was cheering, and everything. The two opponents were going at each other like they were mortal enemies.
"Hey, isn't that Unicolyon down there? But that would mean Oliver is blading, which means..." Max said.
"The Majestics are here. Yep, I see Robert, Johnny and Enrique down there," Ray confirmed.
"Sweetness! Everyone but the All-Starz here in this tournament?" Tyson said happily, "I mean, good competition is hard to come by."
Zarine's heart skipped a beat when she saw the Majestic's opposing team. It was...(not gonna tell you yet, haha!)
"I'm going to the washroom," she told her team quickly and walked away.
Once she was out in the hall, she took a deep breath. [They're here, to get me, and the Bladebreakers' bit-beasts. What'll I do?] she thought franticly.
"So...here's the traitor..." a voice floated across the hall.
Zarine looked up, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?"
"You know why, don't act innocent. I was asked to pass this message to you. If you want your new friends to be safe, then leave them and come back to us. Or else, you'll all experience the wrath of Julian," he said, smirking in an evil way.
Kai noticed what the Majestic's opponents were wearing for the first time. They were wearing the same dark blue uniform as those guys that ganged up on Zarine back at the training camp!
"Guys, look at what the Majestic's opponents are wearing!" Kai said urgently.
The others looked down and gasped. Kenny said, "Oh my, they're wearing the same thing as those guys that ganged up on Zarine!"
"Let's go and find her! She might be in danger!" Kai said, as he ran out of the stadium.
They arrived just in time to hear the message. The mysterious fellow looked at them, and said maliciously, "Make your choice wisely, Zarine." He turned and left.
"Zarine, what's going on, tell me!" Ray demanded.
"Nothing that concerns you!" Zarine snapped, glaring at him.
"Ray, she'll tell us when she's ready," Kai said firmly. "I don't like you keeping secrets from us like this. You can trust us, you know. We're a team."
Zarine kept on hearing those words that Kai said to her over and over again in her head, as she was walking around with ice cream in her hand. She sighed, and thought [It's better not to tell them, it is my problem after all. I shouldn't drag them into this.]
"I wonder where Zarine is. It's nearly eleven," Kenny said worriedly, "She had been out since three this afternoon."
The others looked worried too. "I'll go look for her," Ray offered.
He wandered around town looking for her. He saw her near the park, and just finishing her ice cream. He started walking towards her but...
A tall guy with blonde hair suddenly appeared and grabbed her arm from behind. She spun around and looked at him. She looked really surprised to see him
"Zarine, you shouldn't have left. I missed you so much," He whispered in her ear, then leaned down and kissed her aggressively.
Zarine pushed him away and said coldly, "I already broke up with you, go away and get the hell out of my life!"
He said, "Come with me," and started dragging her along with him.
"No! Let me go!" she demanded. She struggled to get free, but he was too strong for her. She had no choice but to follow.
Ray thought, [Should I follow or should I punch the guy? Nah, I'll just follow them for now.]
He dragged her through alleys and stopped in front of five other guys. "Zarine, come back with us!" he pleaded.
"No! Never!" she replied.
"Jordan, you shouldn't be so easy on her, even if you were dating," a burly guy criticized.
"Hey, I'm the leader and I'll do this anyway I like. Although, I think you got a point," he said slowly. "Zarine, you either come with us like a good girl, or else. You'll end up coming back anyways."
"Ha! I can't care less! I would never leave the Bladebreakers!" she said defiantly.
"Then you leave me with no choice," Jordan said. "Punish her!"
The other guys walked towards her, cracking their knuckles. They started to kick and punch her, she managed to dodge them. Then one of them kicked her legs, causing her to lose her balance. They kept on beating her, until...
Ray came charging through and knocked all of them out. Jordan was so surprised, he didn't do anything. Ray grabbed his hair and slammed it against the wall. He fell down with a groan and was senseless. He gently picked Zarine's head up, and muttered anxiously, "Please be okay."
"Ray?" she muttered disbelievingly.
"Here, can you walk?" he asked.
Zarine tried to get up, but when she bended her body, it really hurt. "Ow! The right side really hurts," she winced and put her hand to the side of her stomach just about her hip.
"Let me see it," Ray said and pushed her tank top up two inches. Although it was really dark in the alley, Ray could see her side had a bad bruise. "Ow! You got a huge bruise here. I'll just carry you."
"Thanks," Zarine said quietly and leaned her head on Ray's shoulder.
