Chapter 10 – bitbeast lock out?
Ray was laid in his bed shaking, he didn't want to be left alone. Kai was stood in the door way watching Ray and shaking his head. He didn't know what to do with this tiger and didn't know if he had the patience he need. With a heavy sigh he made a decision. He went to his room got changed and went back to Rays room. He quietly shut the door up and walked over to Rays bed. Kai pulled the covers back, got in and pulled Ray into his arms. Ray stopped shaking and finally with a small and peacefull sigh Ray went to sleep. Kai soon folllowed as well.
Morning came to fast for Ray who never felt so relaxed in his life. He slowly became conscious of two muscular arms around his waist. Smiling to no one in particular, he inched himself backwards towards the warm body next him.
Kai woke with a start as he felt someone press against him. Looking down towards the source he came across the most beautifull golden pools.
"Good Mornig Kai." Ray smiled at Kai.
"Hmn." Kai responded closing his eyes again. Rays eyes dulled at the response he got from his team captain.
'How the hell did he wake up before me........ I was supposed to be gone by now, 'growls' what time is it' Kai really wasn't in a happy mood. Ray had heard the growl Kai had made and whimpered. It reminded him of the incedent from yesterday and this brought on an onslought of shivers and sobs.
'Good going Master, growl at the koneko why don't you.' Dranzer said sarcastically.
'What?' Kai looked at the younger chinese boy in his arms and noticed he was crying silently into his night shirt.
"Ray, what's wrong?" Kai had no emotion in his voice, that didn't help matters.
"I'm sorry for yesterday, I'm sorry for keeping you here and I'm sorry for being so weak." Ray still couldn't look at Kai.
"Ray you have to get over yourself, I didn't growl at you. I made a decision yesterday and stayed I didn't have to, so stop feeling sorry and get yourself up we have training to do." With those words Kai let Ray go and got up. He went to his own room to get washed and changed leaving Ray alone.
Ray sat there for a while before he decided not to make his captain even more angry for being late. After getting washed and dressed he took on the task of combing his hair. Due to his hurried state he made a mess of his hair instead of smothing it out and nearly cried in frustration.
"You might rip your hair out, if you keep pulling like that." A cold voice drifted across the room making Ray jump out of his skin who dropped his brush in the process. Kai who was stood in the doorway observing the neko-jin, walked over to the fallen brush and picked it up. Ray watched every move Kai made in the mirror and was surprised to see Kai start brushing his hair. Kai let the brush slide through Rays black silky locks along with his fingers.
'His hair is so soft and silky.......beautifull' Kai felt at peace for some odd reason combing Rays hair.
'Why did I have to fall in love with my captain, I know I was fasinated with him for years but why love' Ray found it relaxing and wished Kai would always be the one to comb his hair. The moment ended way to fast for both of them, as Kai finished. He put the brush down and became aware that his barriers were down. Ray saw Kai slip his mask back on and walk towards the door.
"Thank you Kai." Ray whispered, but it went unnoticed by the slate haired boy.
"Ray, breakfast will be ready soon. I suggest you come down soon if you want some before Tyson eats it all." Ray nodded and then Kai left.
'Driger what should I do..........I love him.' Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried desperately not to shed them.
'Have patience my young master, only time will tell if he feels the same way' Driger tried to comfort him.
'Couldn't you ask Dranzer?'
'I could but how would that help, I don't believe that Dranzer would tell me. Now get dressed and have some breakfast, your getting skinny.' Driger chuckled.
'Hmpf.' Ray didn't like the comment Driger made, but decided it was the best idea. He walk up to his wardrobe and rumaged through. He picked out a chinese outfit simular to the one he usally wears just that it had a red top and black trousers. Ray had gotten used to walking arround the house, but was a bit jumpy when some maid was in the same room as him. When he entered the kitchen he saw Tyson sat at the table stuffing his face and Max eating a bowl of cereal. Kai was leaned against a counter drinking a cup of strong coffee and reading the newspaper. He looked up from his reading when he heard someone walk into the room.
"Good Morning Ray." Max said cheerfully.
"Morning Max, Tyson." Ray smiled at the two.
"Mornin' Ray." Tyson managed to say through his eating. Ray sat down next to Max, he didn't really want to get spat at by Tyson. After some observing Kai walked over to where Ray sat and put a plate of warm pancackes covered in maple sirup in front of the boy. Ray blinked and stared up at Kai with huge golden pools. Kai started to fidget.
"You need to eat, you're rather skinny so I thought you might like some pancackes." Kai turned away from Ray, mainly because a blush started to appear. Ray became teary eyed and said happily.
"Arigato, Kai-kun." Rays smile was huge and he started to eat them straight away. Kai turned to look at the younger boy, he had never heard Ray like that before. Tyson and Max had seemed to think the same thing as they both starred a Ray. Ray didn't really notice that they were all looking at him, he was so happy that Kai was being so nice to him. Kai shook his head and left the room.
Training was going well, Kai noticed that all of his Team-mates were gettimg a whole lot better. Ray still didn't bring Driger forth but that was expected. They trained a lot that day and went to bed exhausted. 3 weeks went by in a simular fashion, but Kai didn't know if he was doing the right thing as he slowly became closer to Ray with each passing day. Ray didn't seem to get any attacks from his stalker, Kai was a bit uneasy about this though, it felt like the calm before the storm. Mr. Dickenson was so pleased about Rays progress and looked forward to the Asian championship that they were going to soon.
xX The day before the flight to China Xx
The four Boys had the day off from training, mainly to pack and get ready for their flight the next day. Ray was in his sanctuary hesitating with his packing. Tomorrow was the day, the day he went back to China. He didn't really want to leave the Mansion, he felt safe here and didn't want to chance running into HIM in China. Ray knew that the Boy would be at the championsship and that scared him to bits.
Knock Knock
Ray turned his head towards the door of his room and said. "Come in!"
The door opened and there stood Kai in the door way, he still had his emotionless mask on. Ray had wanted to get rid of kais mask but hadn't succeded yet. Kai looked at Ray and then at the suitcase on Rays bed that was empty. Kai raised an eyebrow in question. Ray just looked at the ground.
"Why haven't you packed yet. You have been up here for three hours." Kai asked sternly.
'I've been up here that long?' Ray thought. Kai now stood infront of Ray and lifted his chin up so he could look the boy in the eyes.
"Well?" Kai was getting impatient.
"I....I.....I can't do it. I don't want to leave. I can't leave, please don't make me." Ray was on the verge of tears and looked at Kai with huge eyes.
"hmpf, pathetic. I thought you were getting better. But I guess I was wrong." Kai turned away from Ray as he said this.
"No Kai, I am getting better, I can leave my room without getting frightened and I haven't had my attacks as offen as I used to. Kai?" Ray whispered Kais name softly. Kai turned at the soft note.
"Then why don't you take the next step then? Or don't you trust us to help you. I made a promise to you and I plan on keeping it but you have to cooperate as well my dear Ray." Kai pulled Ray towards his wardrobe and opened it.
"Pack what you need, just what you need nothing more nothing less." He then went and sat in the wicker chair that was stood in the corner of the room. Ray sighed, Kai was so stubbern. There was no way Ray could get out of going now unless he wanted to loose Kai and he wasn't going to risk that. After Ray had put a few items in his bag he felt queasy and started to wobble on his feet. Kai noticed this and caught Ray before he fell.
"Ray what's wrong?" Kai was a bit on edge. Ray didn't answer and his eyes rolled back into his head. Kai looked at Ray alarmed and surprised. It took him a while to figger out that this must be an attack and the guy was back.
'Danzer, it's happening again isn't it? I need to get in to Rays mind.'
'I don't know Kai, but I'll send you in. I'll get Driger to help.' Danzer let her concern be heard and that unnerved Kai greatly. In a matter of minutes Kai was unconcious.
°°° meanwhile with Ray °°°
Ray woke up and found himself on one of the horrible beige couches. He tensed and prayed he was only dreaming, but when he heard the voice he knew he wasn't dreaming.
"I hope you didn't think it was over Ray, because then you are gravely mistaken." The stalker wispered into Rays ear. Ray shivered and hoped it would be all over soon.
Kai found himself in the same hallway as before, he looked around to see if anything was out of place. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so he headed in a quick pace to the door and flung it open. Rays stalker jumped back from Ray rather shocked at being caught.
"What are you doing here, you shouldn't be able come here." The guy glared at Kai. But Kai wasn't fazed by him at all.
"And why shouldn't I be able to come here, you're the one that shouldn't be here. I thought I made myself clear the first time we meet." Kais voice was icy as spoke to the strange guy.
"Ray belongs to me, I can be here whenever I fancy." The guy wasn't going to back down so easily.
"I beg to differ."
Ray was curled up in a ball on the couch listening to the two boys argue over him. Ray was really gratefull for Kai being here but it was getting them no where.
"Oh you do, do you. Well let's sort this out once and for all. I call forth Black Widow my loyal bitbeast." There was a huge flash and there stood in front of his master a huge black widow spider. Kai was amazed at the size of the arachnoid, he was definitely seeing spiders in a different light.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dranzer felt her connection with her master slowly fade due to a force she couldn't quite make out. Driger felt the force as well it was the same force that always kept him away from Rays conscious.
'I'm losing him Driger, could there be another bitbeast involved.' Dranzer was starting to panic.
'It could be, I think we should get Draciel to help. She can maybe help increase the connection.' Driger replied camly, he knew panicing would only make things worse.
'Ok, but we better hurry. I know somehing is seriously wrong here.' Dranzer didn't like feeling helpless especially when her master was concerned. Draciel arrivered along with Dragoon in a matter of minutes, after Driger summoned her.
'What seems to be the problem.' Draciel looked from Driger and then to Dranzer, she raised her eyebrows at Dranzers expression.
'Driger I can't feel him anymore.' There was no way Dranzer could stay calm anymore, she knew something had happened to her master.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kai was surrounded with the black widows sticky web and he couldn't move from where he stood. Ray sat there eyes wide with disbelief at what was happening.
"You know, my widows web can crush you. It will slowly tighten and squezze you to death. Not only that but she has blocked your connection with your bitbeast so there is no point in calling it. I have done the same to Ray." The guy said smuggly.
"If I'm going to die, I wouldn't mind knowing my killers name." Kai didn't want the guy to know that he was affected by his bitbeasts killer web and that he had no connection to Dranzer anymore. The Black Widow had an ability to block a persons pesonal bitbeast and she was doing this to Kai through her webs. She had a lock on Ray and always had, that's why Driger could never help.
"My name is Andy, but that shouldn't matter as you are going to die in a few moments." Andy chuckled, leaving his bitbeast to Kai he turned his attention to Ray.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Driger and Dranzer explained the situation as quick and best the could. Draciel let the information sink in.
"Well I believe Driger, Dragoon and I will have to focus are power and energie on reaching Kai. It will take a while but hopefully it will work." Draciel looked at her fellow bitbeasts for confirmation and they nodded.
"If you don't mind me asking, but I feel a bit useless here." Dranzer's pride was starting to show.
"You will have to conserve your energy, once we find Kai we will send you to him and aid him in your solid form. But don't get carried away and burn everything down, you will have to remember it is Rays mind you will be in." Draciel scrutinized Dranzer.
"Hai I will be carefull. But.........."
"No buts Dranzer." Draciel glared at the Pheonix.
"Danzer?"
"Yes Drig." Dranzer watch the mighty white Tiger walk up to her.
"Please make sure Rays allright." Dranzer gave Driger a reasuring nod and they got into position.

Kai was having trouble breathing as the web got tighter and tighter. It was getting unbearable, he only wished he had Dranzer then he could fry the web and kick some but.
Ray wasn't doing so fine either. Andy had Ray pinned to the couch and was advancing his touches on the Boy.
Kai was on the verge of falling unconciuos until he heard a firmiliar voice call him.
'Hang on Kai, I'm here to help you.' Flames engulfed Kai and the webs disintegrated. Kai was gasping for breath as his feet touched the floor. He looked up and saw the most amazing thing he had ever seen, there before him stood a beautifull Pheonix. The huge bird attacked the Black widow spider and sent it flying into the wall. Kai felt his connection with Dranzer return.
'Master are you allright?' Dranzer walked up to Kai and nuzzled his cheek.
"Dranzer is that you?" Kais hand slowly strocked the Pheonix's feathers in amazment.
'Yes Master Kai.' Dranzer chirped gleefully now she knew her Master was going to be okay. After their sucsessfull reunion, she looked around for Ray.
Andy hadn't noticed the comotion until he heard his bitbeast collid with the wall behind him. He looked at his spider that could barely stand and turned towards Kai.
"How did you........!" His eyes widened at the sight of Dranzer. "How can she be here, no bitbeast can break the control of my black widow."
"I believe fire is your bitbeasts weakness, Dranzers flames melted your web and now the tables have turned Andy. I think you should leave, I don't really want a murder on my concience." Kai glared one of his famous Death glares. Dranzer started to advance on Andy.
"This isn't over yet, you hear me." With those words Andy and his black widow bitbeast disapeared. Kai made sure he was gone and then went to see if Ray was allright. Ray was once again curled up in a ball just like a cat. Dranzer had come along to see Ray as well, she nudged him with her beak. Ray slowly poked his head out and glanced into pitch black eyes. Dranzer tipped her head to the side.
'Hello koneko.' Dranzer greeted Ray.
"Hello!" Ray sounded a bit confused, it wasn't everday you saw a pheonix.
"Ray, this is Dranzer. She helped us fight him." Kai knew Ray didn't like hearing the guys name.
"Is he gone now?" Rays voice was hopefull.
'Hai, he's gone now koneko. We must figure out why Driger can not enter here.' Dranzer looked up at Kai.
"She has a point, he would be able to protect you then." Kai looked around the area until something dawned on him.
"Wait a minute I remember him saying that his spider could block out bitbeasts and that he had done it to Ray as well. Danzer could you flame the walls, but try and not hurt Ray in the process." Kai pointed to all four walls.
'I'll try, please be strong koneko. I need you to be strong.' Ray nodded his head at Dranzer, with the confirmation she took off and tackled the task at hand.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Driger, Draciel and Dragoon were anxiously waiting for Dranzers return, after she had left feeling her connection with Kai again.
'What is taking her so long. She is one of the strongest bitbeasts arround she shouldn't have this much trouble.' Driger was pacing the earth plane.
'Patients is a virtue Driger. I believe Dranzer has taken care of it and is enjoying her time with Kai. You know how much she loves him.' Draciel reasoned with Driger. Driger just growled and Dragoon shook his head.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'Master Kai, I believe I'm finished. Is koneko allright.' Danzer hoped she didn't hurt the young boy.
"I believe he is okay." Ray was cuddled up to Kais side dozing.
'Ray koneko, why don't you try calling Driger.' Dranzer nudged Ray.
"Hmm......okay. Driger come to me, please." Ray called as he sat up from where he lay against Kai.
