Thanx so much for the reviews! Didn't expect more than one review on my very first chapter! But they were wonderful! Thanx for the support, guys!
As thanx, here's Chapter 2!

Disclaimer: If I owned Beyblade, do you really think I would be writing this? I only own five Beyblades, a Mariah BK figure, a Tyson BK figure, and YAY! My very own neko-jin BK figure! It's SOOO kawaii!!! I love it!

Chapter 2: Thinking, just thinking

Kai opened the door for the rest of the Bladebreakers after Ray had shut himself in his room. He was met by a trio of very curious faces.

"Well?" Tyson asked, wanting to know what was wrong with Ray.

"Did you manage to get anything out of him?" added Max, and they received a nod from Kai, who had a seriously upset face.

(Who knew Kai could be so emotional? I like it when Kai looks out for Ray, but I don't like yaoi, so don't expect any coming from me. Boys will only care for each other as FRIENDS. Same with girls. No yaoi, no yuri.)

Kai moved his head pointing to the living room, which was a medium-sized room with a coffee table in the middle, on top of a carpet. Around it was a sofa in the shape of an L and two comfy chairs. The boys all moved to the living room, each taking a seat. Max and Tyson sat on the L-shaped sofa, Kai took one of the chairs (we all know he'd prefer to sit alone) and Kenny took the remaining chair.

"Well, Kai, are you going to tell us what is wrong with Ray or not?" said Dizzi, after Kenny had set his laptop on the table. Kai closed his eyes, meditating, thinking if Ray would want him to tell the rest of the team or not. He opted to tell them, since they were his friends and all, and maybe they could help.

"We're dealing with a broken heart here. A painful broken heart." He said simply, his eyes still closed. The entire room let out a collective "Oh."

"Oooh...ouch." Max and Tyson said at the same time.

"Poor poor kitty-cat." Dizzi commented, and Kenny shut down the laptop. He decided it was time for Dizzi to take a "nap".

"Girl problems... I hate those..." Tyson said as he rested himself against the cushions. Then a loud "grmpmwfhuhghnd" was heard. The whole team turned sweatdropping to a blushing Tyson, who was clutching his stomach. "What? I'm hungry!" he countered.

"Tyson, how can you even THINK of food when our friend is somewhere with his heart crushed?" Kenny scolded Tyson.

"I can't help it! It's been half an hour since lunch!" he complained, and a grumbling Kenny got up and disappeared into the kitchen, mumbling something about insensitive people and grumbling stomachs.

Minutes later, the conversation continued, with Tyson now munching on yesterdays leftovers. It was sort of out of place, but at least his stomach was quiet.

"So, Kai. Did he tell you who it was that did that to him?" Max inquired, looking hard at the silver-haired Russian in front of him. Kai shook his head. Ray hadn't really TOLD him, he had just drawn the conclusion that it was a certain pink-haired girl from the White Tigers.

"Well, not really, but I DO have a good idea of who it might be." Kai said, and suddenly Tyson stopped munching on a huge drumstick.

"Whoa! That's more than what you say in a week!" he exclaimed, but Kai wasn't in the mood for that.

"Tyson, I suggest you shut your big mouth over that drumstick and keep quiet, unless you want to have a close encounter with my fist. Got that?" he snapped icily, and received a tiny "Yessir." from a tiny Tyson hiding under the sofa. Max and Kenny had to try hard not to laugh.

"Well, anyway, leaving Tyson and his Tyson drumstick aside, who do you think it is, Kai?" Max asked.

"I think... it's a pink-haired cat-eared blader from a rival team." He said.

"NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!"

********************************************************

Meanwhile, Ray was lying on his stomach on top of his bed, head resting on top of his crossed arms, gazing at his bedside table. On it he had a small heart-shaped picture frame. On that picture frame, well, you probably know who's picture was there. Next to it was a bigger picture frame with a picture of him and the White Tigers, back when he still belonged to the team. They were all hugging each other, with Mariah and Ray in the middle, Mariah hugging him really tight, and him winking and giving the peace sign. He sighed. He was still thinking about IT.

"Face it, Ray. You're an idiot. How could you even THINK she had feelings for you? You abandoned her. You hurt her." He said to himself as he turned to lie on his back, now staring at the ceiling.

"I was so happy back in those days... The White Tigers were like my family. And Mariah, well, she saw me as an older brother, and I was always there for her. Everything was just fine. But, what's wrong with wanting to see the world, making new friends, and becoming stronger?" he thought. "I mean, sure, when I left she might have felt a bit hurt and alone but..." he took a pause.

"But still, she didn't have to be that way." He added, and closed his eyes. He needed a nap or something. Something to clear his head. There was an upcoming tournament, starting tomorrow, to be more exact. He should first concentrate on his battles. His friends needed him. He could solve his own problems later.

Meanwhile, a silent icy Russian was going out the hotel doors and into the streets. He needed to know. So he was gonna pay a visit to a certain feline female.
