"Goodnight Ray-koi, sweet dreams."
"Goodnight."
The next morning, a small source of light crept into the boys' bedroom as the door was pushed ajar. Someone walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains, the dawn's light was enough to stir Tala.
"Wake up, sir. The rest of your team are expecting you downstairs in half an hour," the girl told Tala, who had barely awakened.
"What?" Tala's eyes adjusted to the morning shine and he saw Aki standing beside the bed. "Aki, what time is it?"
"It's 6:00am sir," she replied. "Is that all?"
"Yes, yes. You may leave now," Tala signalled for her to go by a wave of his hand. He gently shook Ray to see if he was awake. "Ray-koi? Wake up."
Ray slowly opened his eyes, revealing the golden orbs that shone by reflection of the morning illumination. He yawned and saw Tala in front of him, telling him to get up.
"Why? What time is it?" Ray asked sleepily, refusing to depart from the warmth of the covers.
"It's 6:30, Ian must've ordered us a wake up call," Tala sighed. He then rose from where he once lay, and walked into the bathroom, leaving Ray in the comfort of the soft bed.
"You'd better get up, too!" Tala called from inside the en suite bathroom.
Ray groaned, he was still tired and wanted to curl back up and sleep for another couple of hours. But he knew he couldn't, so gradually he got to his feet and began brushing through his long, black hair. Once both bladers were washed and dressed, they made their way downstairs to where Ian and Spencer sat at the kitchen table.
The kitchen was quite large, a long dining table on one side, a counter and many kitchen appliances on the other. The smell of bacon, eggs and all things fattening could be smelt frying as Aki prepared the Demolition Boys' morning meal. As Tala and Ray entered the kitchen, Aki looked up and smiled at Ray. Ray returned the gesture.
"So what's with the wake up call then, Ian?" Tala asked his teammate bitterly, as he and his koi sat down.
"What makes you think it's me?" Ian questioned, a slight smirk on his face.
"Oh, come on! I know you did it, so there's no use in denying it!" Tala backfired.
"Why are you so rattled? Annoyed you didn't get a lie in with your boyfriend?" Ian replied, emphasising the word 'boyfriend' as if to mock him.
"Just leave him alone, Ian," commented Spencer, trying to reduce the risk of a fight. Instead he changed the subject, "Hey! We're hungry over here!" he shouted at Aki, who seemed to be struggling a bit.
"Just..........wait a minute, it's almost done. Woah!" she exclaimed, a saucepan slipping from her fingers. Luckily, Ray had caught it before the food cooking on it fell to the floor.
"Do you need some help?" asked Ray, thoughtfully. He handed the saucepan back.
"No, no it's ok. I have everything under control.............." Aki suddenly knocked a plate off the worktop; it was about to smash until Ray caught it.
"I'll rephrase that.........do you want some help?" Ray smiled. Aki laughed quietly and blushed.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here," Aki told Ray, as he served up the bacon and eggs.
"No problem. In my house back in China I did all the cooking, cleaning, washing, everything. I know how hard it is for you, trust me!" Ray laughed, from the dining table Tala glared at the maid. His once light blue eyes had turned green with jealousy.
'No one flirts with my koi,' he thought.
Soon enough, everybody had their breakfast sitting in front of them and Spencer and Ian were already lapping it up as if they hadn't eaten in days. Tala was too busy watching Ray to eat, he was still talking to Aki and it just made Tala more resentful.
"So, anyway, thank you for all your help Ray," Aki finished.
"You're welcome, and if you ever need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask, ok?" Ray grinned cheerfully, and Aki said thank you one more time before leaving to do the rest of her work. Ray then sat down to his well- earned meal, not noticing that Tala was glowering at him.
"Ray?" Tala spoke in a harsh tone.
"What is it Tala-koi?" Ray asked, finishing a mouthful of food. He looked up to see Tala wasn't smiling, he was just..........staring.
"You and Aki............is there something you'd like to tell me?"
"Aki? What about her?" he asked innocently.
"You seem to be very..............close to her. Do you have a crush on her?" Tala hated to say it, but he needed to know.
Ray was silent for a second. He then began to laugh hysterically, Ian and Spencer looked round and their expressions turned very confused.
"Ray!! What are you laughing at?!?" Tala exclaimed, not understanding why Ray was having this outburst. Ray's sniggering slowly quietened down.
"A crush? On Aki? Me? I am gay!!" Ray shouted at Tala, who now started smiling.
"Yeah, but you seemed so chatty with her."
"I AM GAY!! I'm with you, aren't I? Doesn't that say anything about my sexuality?"
"Ok, fine. Lets just get to training," Tala told him. Ian and Spencer had already gone outside to where the bey-dish was, Tala and Ray followed.
Ray was still slightly chuckling, Tala was so possessive. Did he really care that much? But Ray's thoughts were interrupted when Spencer shouted at him.
"Hey, Ray, how about I take you on?" the blonde challenged.
"Sure, but I'm warning you, I'm good."
Tala smirked at how sexy Ray could be when he wanted to. He was also curious about how good he really was, could he stand up to Spencer? Especially after what Bryan did to him.
Ian began the countdown, "3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!"
"Go Driger!" Ray exclaimed, launching his blade into the dish.
"Go Seaborg! Show him what you're made of!" Spencer thrust the ripcord back, sending his beyblade spinning into the stadium.
Both blades slammed into each other with tremendous force, sparks flew as the intensity grew higher between the two.
"Come on driger, show him the power of the tiger claw!!"
"Alright Seaborg, voda impact!"
Pillars of beaming light shone from both blades, a large white tiger appeared from Ray's beyblade and from Spencer's emerged a large whale. Both bit beasts fought until the blades looked like they couldn't handle any more.
Ray and Spencer were evenly matched, but Ray wanted to end this in his favour.
"Driger!!" he exclaimed. This sent Driger pounding into the other blade, forcing it to exit the dish with a loud crash.
"No, Seaborg!" Spencer cried as his beyblade landed beside him, damaged and partly broken. Driger then gradually stopped spinning inside the dish.
"Wow, Ray! That was really good!" Tala complimented. Spencer looked angry as he picked up his trashed blade, but he accepted his defeat.
"You're pretty good, Ray," Spencer told him blandly.
"Hey, you're not so bad yourself, that was some awesome battle!" Ray replied.
"Why don't we take a quick break?" asked Tala, who sensed that Spencer was quite annoyed at his loss.
"Yeah, and then I'll battle you, Tala!" Ian told him confidently, giving him an evil stare.
"Sure Ian, if you think you can handle it."
Both boys stared nastily at each other for a while, before they all took a quick break. They were all served drinks and then Tala noticed Aki run upstairs.
"I'll be back in a minute, you guys," he told them, before following the aqua haired maid.
He had seen Aki walk into his bedroom, so he carefully took her same steps, opening the door. There stood Aki, making the bed as she did every morning.
She spotted him at the door, "Oh, hello again sir. Finished your training so early?" she asked with a warm smile. Tala shut the door behind him and walked over to the girl.
"No, I actually came to speak with you," he replied bitterly.
"Is that so, sir? Well, what is it you'd like to speak with me about?" Aki laid down the sheets she was holding and looked straight into Tala's eyes.
"It's about Ray."
"Ray?"
"Yes. What do you think of him?" Tala waited for an answer.
"Well.................he's very kind, generous. Why do you ask, sir?"
Suddenly, Tala slapped the maid across her delicate face and sent her to the floor. She gasped in pain and rubbed the tender spot with her hand. Aki looked up at her employer, he wasn't happy.
"If you EVER speak to Ray again, you will pay a far worse price. Do you hear me?!" the redhead shouted. Aki didn't reply, she was too scared. "DO YOU HEAR ME?!" Tala repeated.
Aki slowly nod her head, tears welled in her eyes.
"Good. Now get back to work!" Tala told the girl, before leaving his room and slamming the door firmly behind him. Aki wept into her arms frantically, regretting ever talking to the black haired blader.
Goddess: You've gone over to the dark side!! Tala: aw, shuddap. ¬_¬ Goddess: ok readers, shall I update? Reviews needed, thank u very much!
