Ray: and on with the story because I just met Mariah!! J
Chapter 3"M-Mariah?" Ray whispered quietly to the figure whose hand was still in his own. The pink haired girl looked up at him, her golden eyes wide and smiled,
"Ray, I've been looking for you." He grinned and pulled her into a hug, Mariah happily returning his gesture of affection. After a few moments they broke apart and Mariah felt herself become dizzy,
"Ray, I-" and with that Mariah fell into Ray's arms as he gently lifted her up and quickly headed towards the Medical room in the BBA Headquarters, her heavily bleeding left arm catching his attention immediately.
Kai launched Dranzer into the Beyblade dish again, testing out his new attack. He had been working on multiple attack patterns and strategies that would be effective against the Demolition boys for some time now and he was confident that the rest of the Blade breakers would be doing the same. A huge flame erupted from the centre of his Beyblade and Dranzer rose out in all his glory, his wings spreading widely and his large frame soaring upwards into the night sky. Dranzer circled the air for a few moments longer and then he noticed his Master's immense distraction.
"What is wrong, Kai?" Kai's brow furrowed thoughtfully,
"I do not like how this is shaping up, Dranzer. Biovolt are not disguising their attacks at all, it's almost as if they want us to know what is going on... but why?" Dranzer returned to the ground and instantly morphed into his human form.
"I do not know, Kai, but I suspect there is a malicious purpose behind it all. Obviously, the attack on the White Tiger Village was to get at Ray... which makes me wonder will the All-stars be next?"
"To get at Max?"
"Yes, I suspect so anyway." Kai nodded, the clogs in his brain spinning rapidly, many thoughts cumulating through his mind.
"We should be careful, Dranzer. Goodness knows how quickly they will move." Dranzer nodded and returned to his bit chip. In the shadows a teenage girl watched every move that the handsome Hiwatari made,
"He is more aware than we suspected, Lonewolf."
"Indeed, Mia, Indeed." The girl smiled,
"Then we will confront Hiwatari, tonight."
Ray waited nervously outside the theatre, the rest of the Blade breakers with him, the same nerves displayed across their own features. Mariah was ill, really ill. She had developed hypothermia and her arm was infected. She hadn't woken up since she had passed out five hours ago and the doctors assured Ray that it was just exhaustion, but he was incredibly unsettled. Hillary offered him a cup of tea, but Ray politely refused. He got up and paced around the small room that they were waiting in,
"What's taking so long? If all they had to do was stitch up her arm and warm her up shouldn't that be done already?" Kai looked out the window and saw a grey-haired Doctor approaching them and said,
"Here's your answer." Ray spun around and instantly launched a barrage of questions on the doctor as he opened the door,
"Is Mariah okay? Did you stitch up her arm? Is she warm? Will she have to stay in longer than a night?"
"Please, calm down!" The doctor said, a flush appearing across his wrinkled face. He coughed lightly and motioned for the people in the room to be seated.
"The young lady in question will be fine, she just needs lots of rest and plenty of care... both mentally and physically. She has been through a traumatising ordeal and I would hate to see a good person dwindle away to nothing because of that. We will keep her in this ward for tonight and possibly tomorrow night also, if her condition does not improve... she shall stay with us until it does so." The assembled people nodded and Ray asked,
"Can I see her now?" The doctor smiled,
"Of course, follow me. Will any of the rest of you be joining us?" Tyson, Max, Kenny and Hillary all followed Ray but Kai decided to go outside to keep training. The doctor lead them down a small corridor and stopped at a door with a room number on it, room number five. He reached down and turned the doorknob quietly, gesturing for the others to also be quiet. Ray walked in and his eyes widened as he saw Mariah. She was hooked up to a machine that was pumping blood into her system. There were several blankets wrapped around her slender frame and her left arm was covered in stitches and bandages. He went over to Mariah and gently sat down on the bed beside her, his hand reaching out and grasping her own.
"You'll be all right now, Mari, you'll be all right..."
Kai deeply breathed in the cool, early morning air. It must've been just past five in the morning and the dark sky was beginning to grow lighter as the Sun prepared to rise. He reached into the pocket of his blue jeans and pulled out his Dranzer beyblade. Removing his launcher from the larger pocket that he kept it in he effortlessly launched Dranzer into the middle of the dish, it's spin perfectly clockwise. Kai watched his blade levelly for a few moments, but was surprised when another blade appeared and smashed into his own. Kai whirled around to face whoever was there and could not hide the shock in his eyes when he saw a beautiful young girl, probably about eighteen years old, as was he, with shoulder length dark blue hair. She had piercing silver eyes and had a lone plait snuck behind her right ear. Her top was navy with grey trimmings and her trousers were tight and of the same colour and material. She had large brown boots on and had piercing in the top of her ear and in her bellybutton, which was visible through the short top. Kai saw a discarded cloak lying to her far right and realised that she must have been spying on him. His blood red eyes met her cool silver ones and they stared at each other for a long time, absorbing every detail. Kai looked down at her beyblade and saw that it was patiently waiting for its mistress's command before it would do anything. Looking the pretty girl up and down once again, he spoke saying,
"What do you want? Why are you here?" The girl smirked,
"Polite and abiding as always, Hiwatari." Kai raised an eyebrow, still awaiting the answer to his question. The girl sighed and walked over to him.
"I couldn't help but over hear what you were saying to Dranzer earlier, well last night I suppose, about Biovolt. It just so happens that we could help each other out here, Kai." Kai stared at her his face emotionless,
"And how would that be so miss...?"
"My name is Mia and I could help you in a way that would be definitely in your best interests."
"Oh yeah? How come?"
"I can get you any information on any team or army in the world, including Biovolt, if you help me assemble a new team in the BBA." Kai looked at her,
"You're bluffing." She grinned,
"Afraid not, Hiwatari. I know when Biovolt are going to attack the All-Stars and I have their entire battle plan in my backpack." Kai's eyes widened, so they are going to attack the All-Stars next...
"Tell me, Mia. How exactly did you get such high profile information? Biovolt is incredibly heavily guarded, not even I could sneak in there undetected." Mia laughed,
"You have such delusions of grandeur, Hiwatari. Biovolt is just another place that needs an outlaw to crack it and in this case, I was that outlaw. That's all you need to know... for now at least." Kai smirked. She was playing her cards perfectly, she knew what she wanted and she knew exactly how to get it.
"And why would an outlaw like yourself want a beyblade team?" Mia smiled,
"To beat the Blade breakers." Kai smiled,
"All right then, Mia, we have a deal."
Ray and the others were still sitting by Mariah's side when she woke up. Ray was asleep on her bed, his arm loosely draped around her waist and Tyson and Kenny were out on the floor. Max was slouched against the wall, while Hillary was asleep in the chair. Mariah's golden eyes flickered open slowly and she gradually absorbed the scenery around her. Feeling Ray's arm around her waist, she turned to see him lying fast asleep behind her. With a slight smile, she poked him lightly in the ribs and ruffled his hair. Ray stirred and lazily opened one eye at the pink haired girl, a grin breaking out across his face. He reached up with his free arm and gently stroked her tanned face, his fingers rubbing against her smooth skin. Their eyes locked and for a long time they just silently stared into each other's golden orbs. Eventually Ray cupped her chin in his hand and lent her face towards his own, causing their lips to meet. Mariah pressed harder against his lips and opened her mouth slightly, granting him permission to explore. Ray gently pushed his tongue in across her bottom lip and felt her stiffen slightly, her good arm reaching up around his neck. Mariah and Ray's tongues met again as their lips slided desperately together and they finally faced their feelings for one another. Ray's hand reached up from her waist and was straying towards her breast when a cough pierced the air. Ray and Mariah instantly broke apart to see Kai standing in the doorway, a bemused expression on his face.
"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." Ray and Mariah glared at him and he grinned slightly, or as close to a grin as Kai could come. Kai indicated behind him and Ray and Mariah looked at the girl standing there.
"Guys, this is Mia. She's starting up a new team called Black fire and I told her that I know a girl who might like to join." He said, smiling at Mariah. Mariah grinned and the girl behind Kai gave her smile,
"Let's see what you can do."
KG2: So, is this any good?
Kai: No, I'm a softie.
KG2: Hehe...
Tyson: Man, you guys better not wake me up in some bad way in the next chapter!
All: Never!
Kai: Ray! Mariah! Get back here!
Ray: ...
Mariah: ...
Ray and Mariah: ... *blush*
Hillary: Well, review people because Dizzi's gonna get you if you don't.
Dizzi: grrr... I'm a woman on the edge!
Kenny: Actually, you're a bit-beast in a laptop...
Dizzi: Kenny! You're ruining my big moment!
