Chapter 3: Kitten Tears

Every boy in the White Tigers' hotel room was worriedly standing on the outside of their only female member's door. You couldn't hear anything, you could hear nothing. Nothing but the soft sobs and cries of the girl inside the room.

She, Mariah, had locked herself up in her room since yesterday, without even coming out to eat. The first day she locked herself up, she was crying until she fell asleep. Today, she had been quiet, until what happened yesterday invaded her thoughts again. She couldn't help but cry even more.

Kevin and Gary were oblivious as to the reason why Mariah was like that. But Lee, Lee felt just terrible. You could say it was HIS fault Mariah was like that.

"Maybe I was too hard on her..." he thought out loud, without realizing it. Luckily, neither Kev nor Gary heard what he said.

"Yo, Boss. What's wrong with Mariah?" Kevin asked Lee worriedly.

"I...um...well, I have a feeling it as to do with that traitor." Lee lied, obviously referring to Ray. Gary cracked his knuckles.

"Why that... How low can he go? If I find out he did anything to Mariah, anything at all..." he said between gritted teeth.

"Well..." Lee said feeling bad. He was about to confess what had really happened, when they were startled by a knock on their room door. Kevin went to open it, and when he did, they were all very surprised. There, at their door, was Kai Hiwatari, the leader of the Bladebreakers.

"Oh, um...hi." Kev stuttered, receiving a blank nod from Kai. He stepped to the side to let the silvery-haired Russian in. Lee immediately stepped forward.

"Sorry, but I'm afraid it's not the best moment to have a talk between leaders." He said, assuming that was what the Bladebreakers' captain wanted. (Which I don't know why it even crossed his mind. After all, Kai is so "sociable". x)

"That's okay. I didn't come here to talk to you." Kai replied in an icy- cool tone, startling the male White Tigers. He passed by Gary and Lee. "I want to have a word with Mariah."

"Mariah? What for?" Gary wondered out loud.

"None of your business." Kai snapped coldly. Typical him.

"Hey, no one said you could talk to her." Lee snapped back.

"No one said I couldn't, either." Kai glared at Lee, then he grabbed the lion boy by the shirt. "Listen, I don't have time for your idiocies. Where's Mariah?" he narrowed his eyes at Lee.

"Fine, fine. If it's so important... She's there." He answered, pointing to the door to Kai's left. "But, let me warn you, she hasn't come out since yesterday, and she's been crying a lot, too.

"Is that so?" Kai said blankly. "CRYING?!" he exclaimed inwardly. Mariah had been crying? Well, he had to talk to her. He knocked on her door.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mariah, you're so stupid." The neko girl insulted herself, as she kept on sobbing sitting on an armchair next to her window. From there she could see the spot where she had done that AWFUL thing. How COULD she?

"How could I have broken his heart like this?" she cried, when she heard a knock on her door.

"Who...who is it?" she asked. When Kai answered, she quickly tried to wipe the tears away, as to not let a rival blader see her crying.

"Come in." she said, and Kai did. Watching Kai go into Mariah's room, the White Tigers wondered why she let HIM into her room, but not them.

"What do you want?" Mariah asked, from her armchair, where she had her face hidden in her hands. Kai, who was now standing directly in front of her, took a deep breath.

"I want to talk to you..." he said, and Mariah lifted her gaze, not expecting what came next. "... about Ray."

Suddenly, she threw herself over him, sobbing hysterically, Kai extremely surprised.

"Whoa, whoa, WHOA!" Kai exclaimed, but Mariah didn't move. Kai made her look at him.

"What...?" he questioned.

"I'm sorry, it's because I was so stupid..." she sobbed, now on her bed. Kai now moved to a position of leaning on the wall.

"Sorry to interrupt your crying, but I need to know. Why did you do that to Ray?" he now leaned with his eyes closed, waiting for an answer. He had to wait a while for Mariah to calm down.

"I'm sorry. I never meant for that to happen." She said softly. "I am completely heartless, cruel. How could I have done that to HIM of all people, especially when I had been waiting my whole life for him to say that to me?" she cried, and Kai's eyes went wide.

"W...wait a minute. Y...you really...love him, don't you?" he said, looking down at Mariah, who looked up to him.

"What do you think?" she answered. There was a silence, which was suddenly broken by some yells outside. It sounded like Lee yelling at someone, and then they heard coughing.

"What's going on out there?" Kai stormed out the door, followed closely by Mariah. She gasped. The rest of the room was filled with a thick gas. The other three boys were down, under the effects of the gas.

"Lee, Kev, Gary!" Mariah cried out, wanting to run to them, but Kai didn't let her move from his side.

"What the hell?! Sleeping gas." Kai said, when he covered Mariah's face with a cloth so she wouldn't breath in the gas, afterwards covering his own face. Mariah got close to him, trembling.

"W...what's going on, Kai?" she asked, when all of a sudden, someone grabbed her form behind, covering her mouth.

"Mariah!" Kai yelled as he ran into her room, where he had seen a shadowy figure take Mariah. Once there, he saw that there was no one there, and the window was open. He quickly jumped to the windowsill. He looked to all sides. He could see nothing.

"Damn it! You gotta be kidding me!" he cursed. It couldn't be. He jumped out the window, landing on his feet. He felt something moving towards him, and he moved just in time. In the wall behind where he had been standing was a kunai stuck, holding a paper. Kai took it and read the note, his eyes going wide. Then he started running to the hotel where the Bladebreakers were staying. He had to get there as quickly as possible. This was bad, very bad.

Ahhh! Bad moment to finish the chapter! Well, it adds a little suspense, doesn't it? Just who took Mariah? For what reasons? These and more questions answered in the next chapter of Broken Hearts. Review, please, and I promise to update as quickly as possible. x Also, please read my BB one-shot! It's called "Losing You". Please R and R, like you always do!

P.S. I was wondering, do any of you wonder during what season this fic takes place? I guess the timeline would be best around the first season of beyblade, but I place it in V-force for two reasons: the look I want for the characters is the V-force look, since it's "sweeter." (Although Ray looks good in all three attires: Beyblade, V-force, and G Revolutions! drool x) And the other reason is that Hilary is here too, so it has to be from V-force on. Hope nobody's lost!
