A/N: Well, chapter two of this fic...
Honda: In our last chapter, Kai met Wyatt's sister and found out the little
brown headed child likes him...reminds me of my 'Ogi!
Goten: Shut up...
Kai: Thanks for the reviews, it makes her feel "good..."
"Listen, Kai, she didn't have anywhere else to go!" Ray hissed, trying to keep his voice down so that Marie didn't hear anything he was saying. She was sitting in the next room over and she could hear every word Kai and Ray shot back at each other.
"Why didn't you put her in a hotel? There are tons of hotels near the hospital!" Kai barked back.
"You said yourself that those guys where following her! She had to come somewhere safe!"
"And you call here safe?" Kai continued to yell, gesturing around them to the paper and wood walls of the Dojo they had all made home in the last months.
"It's better here, because she has people to protect her from an attack," Ray yelled angrily forgetting to keep his voice down.
"Fine! Whatever, but it's not my responsibility to watch the kid! I've already hurt that family enough," Kai said, more to himself than to Ray.
Ray and Kai walked out of the room, refusing to look at each other, followed by the other members of the Blade Breakers, all looking very down and just not happy.
"Marie, this is Tyson, Maxi, Zeo, Kenny, and you already know Kai," Ray said, pointing to everyone in turn.
"Pleasure," she said nodding to everyone.
"Hey," Tyson said smiling.
"Nice to meet you," Max said smiling.
"Cool to have a girl around," Zeo said smiling.
"Wonderful to meet you," Kenny said happily, extending a hand to her that she excepted and shook it.
Kai nodded to her, glancing at her through his hair. "Kid."
"Is that my name now? I was under the impression that it was Marie," Marie said, tilting her head.
Everyone gave a light laugh.
"All right, well, we'd better get some rest. We can check on Wyatt tomorrow," Max told everyone.
"Good idea," Marie said smiling.
-----------
Ray slept in front of Marie's door, which is until, she offered for him to come in so that he wouldn't get stepped on while people walked down the hall during the night for a drink of water or something. He smiled and walked inside, laying his things closer to the door.
"Thank you, Ray," Marie muttered as she fell asleep.
"Your welcome," he muttered as he turned over, facing the door now, and fell asleep.
-----------
Marie crept outside the door, keeping from waking Ray, which was difficult, seeing as he was sleeping practically on top of the closed door. As she walked out of the room, she saw Kai trying to discretely leave the dojo.
"Kai, may I ask where you're going?" she asked blinking and rubbing her eyes.
"I'm going to see Wyatt," he said, not turning to look at her.
"Why didn't you tell me? He is my brother after all," she said, putting her hands on her hips. Kai thought for a minute that the young girl reminded him of a questioning mother and that slight accent she had wasn't helping.
"Because, I wanted to go see him by myself," he said sighing.
"I see, trying to get the hook-up," she nodding all knowingly, the American slang words sounding slightly odd coming from the British girl.
"What?" asked Kai, turning so that Marie couldn't see the blush that had risen on his pale cheeks.
"That's what I thought," she said, nodding all-knowingly. "Listen, tell him I'll be over there later."
"All right, Kid," Kai said as he started to walk out of the door.
"Oh, and Kai." He turned to face her. "If you hurt my older brother, you'll have me to answer to."
Kai nodded smiling before walking to the hospital. He passed the spot where Ray said that Marie and Azuma were jumped the night before. He could tell, there were small chipped parts of Beyblades. He picked up a piece and stuck it in his pocket for Chief to analyze later.
He walked to the hospital and walked into Wyatt's room. Wyatt was awake and smiling at him.
"Hello, Kai!" he said chipper like.
"Hello," Kai said smiling at the sight of the younger boy.
"Where is Marie?" he asked, looking around for his sister.
"At the dojo. It became so late when she left, that Ray invited her back there. She said she'll stop by in a little while."
"Oh," Wyatt said frowning.
"If you want, I'll call her for you," Kai said, trying to cheer up the smaller boy even if it meant he wouldn't get the alone time he was hoping for.
"No, it's all right. We can spend time together!" Wyatt said quickly.
"All right," Kai said smiling.
"Kai, I have a question," Wyatt said, braking the moment of silence that had settled between them.
"Shoot," Kai said.
"Well, after I passed out, I ended up here. What happened after I did? Passed out I mean," Wyatt asked, looking down at his bed sheets.
"I brought you here," Kai said. Wyatt looked up at Kai. "I carried you here after you fainted. I just feel so responsible." Kai slammed his fists into his legs.
"Kai, I don't blame you. It was entirely my fault. If I hadn't bugged you, then I never would have become angry when you said you wouldn't train me. I should have realized then that you didn't have time for a dumb kid like me," Wyatt said as he looked back down at the sheets as he clutched them, turning his knuckles white.
"Where did this come from?" Kai asked blinking as he moved to the bed, next to Wyatt.
"It's true! I'm just a useless kid that gets in everyone's way!"
"Who told you that?" Kai asked fiercely, causing the smaller boy to flinch.
"Everyone," Wyatt said sighing. "Everyone at my old school, that is."
"They obviously don't know you," Kai said, more gently than ever. Wyatt didn't know what worried him more, his little sister's anger or Kai's sudden softness.
"What do you mean?" he asked after a moment.
"They're oblivious to what I have seen. They haven't seen the kind-hearted person I have," Kai said, wrapping his arms around the boy.
Wyatt smiled and leaned against Kai. He wanted to stay like this, not leaving Kai's side.
-----------------
Marie walked into Wyatt's room and saw the two teens sleeping. Kai had pulled Wyatt tightly against himself, as if to say that Wyatt was his, and his alone. Marie smiled before closing the door to the room. She walked over to the receptionist and told her that Wyatt was to leave with Kai. Kai was to have total responsibility over Wyatt. The receptionist smiled and nodded.
Marie was happy with her decision. Kai might not be, but he would thank her in the long run. She walked slowly back to the Dojo, enjoying the fresh air. She saw Ray at a street market. She smiled and walked over to him.
"Hey, Ray, whatcha doing?" she asked happily.
"Well, I'm getting groceries so I can cook dinner tonight," he said, putting down the vegetable he was examining to smile at her.
"What are you making?" she asked curiously.
"Rice with vegetables," he said sighing.
"What's wrong with that?" Marie asked blinking.
"Well, it's just that, that's what we've had for the last month," Ray said, laughing nervously.
"That's a long time to have rice and vegetables," she said smiling. "How about I cook dinner for you all tonight...as like a welcome home to Wyatt."
Ray smiled and gave a long sigh. "Thank you, that'd be great, but we don't have the money to buy much else other than vegetables and rice. Hence the reason we've had that for the last month," he sighed again.
"Well that's fine. My mother sent me with money for a hotel, and since I'm staying with you all, then I'll just use that money for groceries instead," she told him as she began to put back all he had picked up.
"Wow, um, okay," he said smiling as he put back several things as well.
Marie began to gather several different types of vegetables and what looked to be some form of meat, something Ray hadn't tasted since they had gotten back from their last tournament. He looked enviously at the generous amount that she put into the bag he was still holding.
"What, is there something wrong? Is someone a vegetarian?" she asked, reaching for the meat to put it back.
"No!" Ray exclaimed, grabbing her arm, smiling nervously.
"Okay," she said laughing as she let the meat go. "Come on," she said, linking arms with the teen.
He blushed madly as he heard people whisper and point at them. Saying things like, "who does she think she is?" and "oh, Ray's no longer a bachelor." He looked over at Maire who either didn't seem to notice or she didn't care.
"Listen, Kai, she didn't have anywhere else to go!" Ray hissed, trying to keep his voice down so that Marie didn't hear anything he was saying. She was sitting in the next room over and she could hear every word Kai and Ray shot back at each other.
