Chapter 6

"Tyson? Tyson, wake up." The teen attempted to wake but then decided sleep was better, even if it was Hillary. Hillary sighed and looked over at the rest of the Bladebreakers- time to wake him the hard way. Kai grinned evilly and he and Mia walked over to where a large bucket of water lay and lifted it. Max and Ray grabbed Tyson and dragged him onto the floor. Mariah, Emily and Hillary went into the kitchen to begin to make breakfast as Kenny and Dizzi decided that this was a golden opportunity for a bit of blackmail footage. Switching his laptop on and adjusting his camera, Kenny sat down cross-legged and hit record. Kai and Mia lifted the bucket of water above Tyson's head and Max and Ray stood back as the two let loose the cascade of water and Tyson emerged from his slumber spluttering out words which sounded something like, "I'm drowning!". Hearing the racket, Emily, Hillary and Mariah poked their heads around the kitchen door and smiled sympathetically.

"Girls, we're really going to have to think of a different way to wake him up."

Billy and Jim (A/N: that's what I'm calling the other guy, btw!) watched as the girls cooked breakfast and as Tyson downed numerous helpings, but, more importantly they were watching their target- Mariah. Jim's eyes scanned the pretty, pink haired girl up and down as he tried to take in all of her features and personality. She seemed very close to the raven haired boy- Raymond Kon, in fact he knew she was for Billy had quite surprisingly spotted the two of them kissing behind a bunker yesterday. A horrible grin spread across his face as he decided that today they kidnapped her- today that child of light came away with them.

Mia risked a glance at the two men outside in the van. They obviously weren't that smart if they thought that someone as battle trained as herself wasn't going to notice them- they had been here for over a week now. She tried to follow their line of sight and failed, not sure which of the people in the kitchen they were staring at, but Lonewolf quickly supplied that information, whispering in her head that they were staring at Mariah. Mia's senses were filled with an unfamiliar emotion, confusion. Why were they spying on Mariah? Mia looked over at Mariah and studied the girl extensively. From what she could tell there was nothing extraordinary about the pink haired teen, if they were here for anyone she would have been almost certain that it would have been one of the Bladebreakers or their bit-beasts. Her mind raced back to the battle that she had had with Mariah now a week and a half ago. Mariah was a good Beyblader, of that there was no doubt, but she still wasn't quite as good as any of the Bladebreakers or herself. What did they want her for? Her eyes scanned Mariah again but this time her eyes noticed something- a small chain hung around her neck, a pretty blue stone attached to it. The blue stone had silver down the middle and another line of silver at the right hand side. There was a selection of tiny, silver balls attached at the bottom, they almost formed a pattern. That necklace looked VERY familiar. Frowning at her own bad memory she suddenly noticed Kai was uttering something to her. She turned her head slightly and regarded him, a questioning expression on her face. Kai rolled his eyes and whispered,

"I said, 'So, have you figured out why those idiots are spying on Mariah yet?'" Mia grinned up at the Handsome Hiwatari,

"'Afraid not. You?"

"Nope. Dranzer doesn't know either, said he would ask Galux and Driger if they're hiding anything. Although, I don't think it has anything to do with Galux." Mia nodded,

"Me too. It's not like Galux is the most powerful bit-beast here. It would be pointless to attempt a raid and only take Galux when there are much stronger bit-beasts here; Dragoon, Dranzer, Driger and Draciel would be much stronger, yes?" Kai nodded then grinned slightly at Mia,

"I think you left one out." He indicated to the pocket in which her own beyblade was currently stored and Mia smiled,

"You just keep it in mind that I'm better than you, Hiwatari."

"Humph!"

Ray's eyes met Mariah's for what seemed the millionth time that morning, he knew that she was thinking the exact same thing as he was. Giving his girlfriend a quick wink he indicated towards the door and smiled when Mariah nodded, a cheeky grin finding it's way onto her face. Ray calmly left the room and a split second later Mariah, who quickly took his hand as the two sprinted down the stairs, joined him.

Jim's eyes bulged as he noticed that Mariah and Ray had just left the room. Punching Billy in the ribs to wake the brute up, he quickly stuck his keys in the ignition and attempted to find them and then proceed to follow them. Jims eyes scanned the building as he crawled past it in the van, Billy also looked about a dumb expression firmly plastered on his face.

Ray and Mariah peeked around the corner of the large, grey building, two pairs of golden eyes scanning for strangers or, more importantly, their friends. Ray shot Mariah another smile and grabbing her hand once again they ran over to their new hideout- behind the large and incredibly deformed bunker. Ray skidded to a halt, and was peeking his head over the bunker to check for visitors when Mariah put her arms around his waist and twisted him around so that he was facing her. Ray looked Mariah up and down then grinned,

"Damn, you're hot Mariah." The pink haired teen grinned then placed a soft kiss on his lips. Ray reacted almost immediately, deepening the kiss and placing his arms firmly around her waist. Mariah's arms went up around his neck and gently stroked the back of his hair. Ray started to put his hand up Mariah's top and his hand found her breast and firmly planted itself there. Mariah giggled a bit then broke off the kiss and shot Ray a saucy look. Ray stared back at her puzzled, then Mariah started kissing his neck and Ray moaned slightly in surprise.

Kai and Mia suddenly realised that Ray and Mariah had left the room and shot each other warning looks- this was not good. Mia inclined her head towards the door and the two of them shot out, leaping with ease down the flight of stairs, their battle trained bodies speeding up considerably as a list of horrible scenarios entered both of their heads. They ran outside and past a bunker... then skidded to a halt their eyes bulging.

Ray and Mariah were still continuing their little make out session, with Ray's top already being tossed aside and Mariah's in the process of coming off when they spotted Kai and Mia staring at them, disapproving glares displayed on their faces. Ray and Mariah paused, looked at each other then began to run as fast as they could... until Kai and Mia grabbed their heels, tripping them both up. Ray looked at Mariah and Mariah looked at Ray and as one they sighed with defeat. Mia seemed anxious, she was looking around as Ray and Mariah awkwardly got up, both blushing a profoundly crimson colour.

"I'm guessing that you two have no idea that there are two ugly blokes spying on you?" Kai said sarcastically and his eyebrows were raised. Ray and Mariah looked at each other in alarm and then Ray finally spoke,

"For how long?" Kai looked at Mia,

"It's been about a week hasn't it?"

"I think so, they might have been spying on her before she came to us though."

"She?" Ray said almost immediately. Mia nodded,

"They're not spying on both of you; Mariah's their target, not you."

"But... why?" Mariah asked a mixture of fear, confusion and anger in her eyes. Mia simply shook her head, then she remembered Mariah's necklace.

"Um, Mariah?"

"Yeah?"

"Who gave you that necklace?" Mariah looked at her for a moment then reached around her neck and took it off, handing it to Mia.

"My Mum and Dad gave it to me not that long before they were attacked... actually they gave it to me on my sixteenth birthday, nearly a year ago." Mia studied the necklace twisting it round, feeling that there was something horribly familiar about it. She eventually gave up and handed it back to Mariah, who quickly put it back on. Mia heard a van pull up near them and, ignoring the warning sirens going off in her head, spun around only to receive a solid whack on her right temple, instantly slipping into unconsciousness. Kai panicked when he saw Mia fall quickly to the ground, her body slightly limp. He ran over to her and he too was knocked out in a flash. Ray grabbed Mariah's hand and the two of them began to run, then Ray felt something puncture the side of his neck, his vision quickly becoming blurry and his legs slowing. Mariah halted beside him, panic rising up through her body.

"RAY!!" and then the vision of Mariah began to disappear, and croaking out Mariah's name Ray fell to the ground, leaving Mariah at the mercy of Billy and Jim.
