Chapter seventeen: The secret is out.
It wasn't very long before the Bladebreakers and co. decided to go back. It had started raining long time before and the whole forest seemed alive with menacing creatures scuttling just out of view.
Thunder and lightening crashed above their head. Nearly everyone jumped out of their skin. Ray, Kai and Max found the girls in their arms, not that they were complaining.
"This storm isn't going to stop is it?" Isis asked.
"Not by the looks of it." Ray answered quietly. No one was laughing.
"We'd better head back now. Otherwise we'll never get back to camp." Kai instructed everyone. They all nodded.
"Come on then." He told them gravely.
They all followed him.
"They should be back by now." Tyson said anxiously, watching the huge drops of rain crash on the roof of the tent. Hilary nodded next to him. Kenny mourning because Dizzy was down.
"Maybe they got slightly lost, don't worry about it. Kai's with them." She tried to comfort him.
"That's the problem." He scowled.
"What? Kai?" She asked him, surprised.
"Yeah, I mean. Where's he been all this time? Why is he back?" He told her.
"And? I'm guessing there's something else Tyson." He was quiet for a while.
"Do you know who Voltaire is?" He asked her. "Erm... Yeah, Kenny told me he's the boss of Biovolt Corporation; doesn't he work with Boris Balkoff?"
"Yes, at Balkoff Abbey." Tyson said quietly.
"What's that got to do with Kai?" She asked.
"Jeeze Hilary you might get good grades but you can be so dense sometimes."
"What? You have more stupid moments than me!" She yelled back.
She then remembered she was supposed to be going out with him and calmed down.
"So what has it got to do with Kai?"
"Voltaire's last name is Hiwatari."
Finally the rest of the Bladebreakers reach the camp. It had stopped raining though everyone was soaked. Hilary ran out and hugged the rest of the girls.
"Omigod! We were so worried!" She started speaking at top speed to them. "... but we couldn't get the campfire started, sorry about that. Those two over there are a good as lighting fires as they are finding you lot." She told them, giving a dark look towards Tyson and Kenny.
"Hey! It was thundering!"
"Feh, baby." She smirked at an annoyed looking Tyson.
"Hilary!" He moaned, everyone laughed. They all sat themselves around the campfire. Max lit it and to everyone's surprise soon dried and warmed them all up.
"So when is our first match?" Isis asked Kenny, who seemed to have all the information on the tournament.
"I don't know, they just said that you'll know when it's your turn." Kenny told them. They all nodded and fell quiet. No-one really knew what to say.
"Hey! Why don't we play truth or dare?" Max asked. Nearly everyone perked up.
"Oh! Twenty-one Truth or dare with a twist! If someone chooses truth, everyone has to answer the question." Isis grinned, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. Everyone laughed, (with the exception of Kai who never really laughs around a lot of people) and inched closer to the fire.
"One two three..."
"Three four five..."
"Six seven eight..."
"Nine ten eleven..."
They finally reached twenty one on Mariah. She winced.
"Twenty one?"
"Truth or dare?"
"Erm... Dare?" She said, wincing.
"Erm... Oh I have one!" Mariam sniggered. "Not too cruel." She lengthened the suspense for her.
"Mariam tell me now!"
"Tongues with Ray for a minute!" She blurted it out. Mariah squealed and blushed. Ray just looked shocked.
"What!" They both shouted.
They looked at each other and blushed.
"Hey I'll extend it to two minutes if your not careful." She warned them playfully. Mariah winced and went over to Ray.
They were both aware of the eyes on them. They both blushed again, and then they kissed. Soft lips crushed together, they were surprised to find that they were enjoying it. She felt his tongue enter her mouth, they both expected to hate it but to their surprise they enjoyed it.
"Erm you two? Time was up a LONG time ago." Mariam giggled. Both Mariah and Ray withdrew quickly. Blushing heavily.
"One two three..." They all began again.
"Twenty one..." Tyson groaned. "Truth?"
"Okay then..." Mariah trailed off; thinking carefully over what she could say what wouldn't rebound on anything. "Okay, it's lame but I don't care. What nationality are you?"
"That's easy Japanese." He sighed with relief.
"Max?"
"American."
"Hilary and Kenny?"
"Japanese too."
"Isis?"
"Er... I'm part English part Japanese."
"Ray?"
"Me and Mariah are Chinese neko-jin." He put in.
"Kai?"
"Russian." He scowled.
"And I'm Japanese too." Mariam finished. "Lets start again."
They carried on playing for the rest of the day. They had nothing else to do after all. Kenny had nibbled on Mariam's ear; Tyson and Ray had both sang their national anthems; Isis had sang along to one of the songs on Mariah's CD player. So far only Kai, Max and Hilary had gotten away with it.
"Right then, last go. One two three..."
It landed on Kai.
"Twenty one." He scowled. "Dare." Once more Mariam had one.
"Tongues with Isis, three minutes." She grinned. Both Kai and Isis gave her an alarmed look.
"Come on you two, or it'll be six." She warned them. They both stood up. He wrapped his arms around her waist; their faces inched towards each other. They kissed, lips brushing gently together, soon developing into a full passionate and devoted.
"Times up you two. Er... Isis? Kai?" Mariam told them, faltering slightly as they carried on regardless.
They broke off, neither blushing both gazing at each other. Kai kissed her again.
"Tish! Will you two get a room?" Max called out to them, a grin on his face. Mariam giggled.
"Oops, look what I did..." She whispered to Mariah, she giggled along side her.
"Who would have thought those two though?" Max said back; all the girls and Ray looked uncomfortable.
"You knew?"
"We promised them we wouldn't tell... Erp, she really didn't want Tyson to know." Mariam said sadly.
"Why?"
"Because Isis went to Balkoff Abbey." Hilary whispered in a small voice.
