Warning: This chapter contains a few naughty words right from the start. THAT IS WHY IT'S PG-13! If you don't like swearing, just ignore them.
SORRY IT'S SO LATE!
Rejiita: Thanks for your review and suggestion. I AM planning on putting Black Dranzer but I have not seen the first series and I don't even have a clue what it looks like. Could you describe it?
Lyrikkal: Yeah, I feel sorry for the poor dude too. I agree. Tala is really hot. I'm going to pair him with my OC. But you won't see her for a LONG while. I might not put her in until the sequel unless I do a cameo. Yes, that's right, I'm already planning a sequal. Now I just need to finish the first actual story!
Trunks-is-the-king: I have no idea who 'sanguanix' is. Yeah, sometimes Mariah is a bit too happy but she rocks! I'm glad this story makes you sort of like Mariah. She'sa bit OC in this, i didn't make her as happy and tried to deepen her as a character that does want power but puts friendship above it. Oops, just gave a bit of my plot away.
flowerperson: um, oh right! It's not me! Now i get it. I thought for a second that i was sad enough to review my own story and that i suffer from amnesia. Great twist with Lee, but i'm afraid i'm going to use him for something else. I don't know much about Voltaire so i can't really do him. (I missed the first series of Beyblade).
Sapphire Moon: WOW! OMG! This review made me SO happy! I became hyper! and i didn't even need chocolate! mmm.... chocolate... but anyway, i also like Ray/Mariah but you know, Kai's sexy. And love triangles are SO fun! A good twist for Lee but as i said to flowerperson (not myself, an anonymous reviewer typed in my name), i'm planning to use him for something else.
EVILkrazyMONKEYS: cool name. bows back Thank you, kind, kind reviewer! The best story you have a read in a long time? Please! You're making me blush! There should me much more KaiMariah stories! Or even better... LOVE TRIANGLES! RIVALRY! MWA HA HA!
Go stick you head in a toilet: Ok! walks towards the bathroom. Oh wait! That's your name! smacks head duh! I love Tala too! And i know he is kind on the inside! But i can't give anything away. You'll find out in the next chapter. I don't really know anything about Biovolt since i did not watch the original Beyblade Series but i've watched G Revolution so i've seen Boris. I take it you vote for Boris? Rambling's fun! Blah... blah... blah... blah... ok, i'm stopping now...
Your votes have been counted and…
You'll just have to see!
URGENT MESSAGE TO READERS (again!): What does Black Dranzer (I think that's what it's called) look like? A picture would be SO helpful! Could you email me if you DO find a picture? (It's in my bio page) And who kept Black Dranzer at the end? Was it Kai, Voltaireor Boris? Or was it destroyed?
Last time: Kai in shock. Then he figures out that if one dream came true the others could too so he rushes after Mariah. Meanwhile, Mariah is asking herself all these different questions. She saw a man holding a gun and she ran away with him chasing her. Ray got worried then blamed Mariah's mood on PMS. Hilary tries to have a conversation with Tyson with no success. She phones Mariah. Ray picks up Mariah's cell phone and tells Hilary that she's still not back. Kai finds Mariah's ribbon then shouts out "MARIAH!". Mariah woke up chained up. Someone gave her food and said something. Mariah recognised his voice. Kai knocked on Ray's door and told him that Mariah was missing.

Chapter five: Stages of Realisation
"K-Kai?" Ray asked, confused. "W-where did you get this?"
What should I say? Should I tell him the truth? Should I lie? He has to know the truth.
"I saw Mariah at the park. She was running from some man. I tried to catch up but I was too far behind. He shot her with some tranquilliser gun and got into a black van. I found her pink ribbon on the ground. I'm so sorry Ray."
That's basically what happened, just missing out the part where I kiss her.
And the part where she kisses me back.
Ray gripped onto the doorframe tightly.
"Mariah's been kidnapped?"
Kai nodded solemnly. The doorframe splintered under Ray's strong grip. Ray took his hand away. Kai could see he was debating with himself whether this was a dream.
Come to think of it, he was also making sure it wasn't a dream. Just another freaky dream. He could pinch himself to make sure it wasn't but that would be very un-Kai-like.
Ha. The first stage. Denial.
(AN: Here comes the swearing, dawgs. Why is Tyson's grandpa so weird? But at least he's hip! Not.)
He clenched his fists tightly, no; he could tell it wasn't a dream. It was real. It was fucking real. Mariah was fucking kidnapped and being tortured in some fucking complex by some mother fucking sickos and he should have fucking protected her.
But no one can protect Mariah now. SHE'S FUCKING ALONE!
(AN: End of swearing my homies! You dig?)
The second stage. Anger and self-loathing.
She wasn't alone. Kai would not rest until they saved her. She didn't deserve that.
Kai looked at Ray. Would calm, serene Ray just skip the second stage?
"AARGH!"
Ray punched the wall, making a dent in the plaster.
Guess not.
He punched it again and again, leaving bruises on his knuckles and smaller dents in the walls as he ran out of rage to ignite them with.
Kai didn't know what to do. Should he comfort Ray? Tell him that they'd find Mariah? Tell him that Mariah could handle herself?
Ray leant against the wall. Kai laid a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"We'll find her." Kai promised.
Ray turned to Kai. He saw that his eyes were red and salty tears were threatening to escape. Third stage: Mourning.
Kai was lucky that 'Mourning' was not in his vocabulary. He was never one to cry. Even if he wanted to. But he couldn't cry now, he had to be strong. Strong for himself. If not for himself, for Ray. If not for Ray, for Mariah.
"How do you know she's not…" Ray could not bring himself to say the word but they both knew which word he was thinking of.
"They wouldn't have bothered to tranquillise her. It doesn't make sense."
"What if she's being…"
Raped.
Again, another word was unspoken but like before Kai knew what he meant.
Kai didn't know the answer to that. He had never dreamt about it, but it didn't mean that it never happened. It was obvious Mariah was pretty and had a good body. The sickos could have got bored and used her body as a plaything. The thought was sickening and made Kai want to throw up.
"She's a virgin." Ray stated.
The nauseous feeling in the pit of Kai's stomach increased tenfold. He never did believe in God but he prayed… he prayed for Mariah's sake that she was not going through that torture. He prayed to God that Mariah knocked on that door and Kai had never heard the gunshots and she had just dropped her ribbon.
But alas, there was no knock on the door and Kai somehow knew that Mariah was indeed kidnapped.
"We'll find her." Kai repeated.
"I keep thinking this is just a stupid prank that Tyson persuaded you to be a part of but it's not, is it? She's really been kidnapped." Ray said.
The final stage. Acceptance.
"She's not going to jump out from the doorway. She's not going to laugh at me and tell me I'm so gullible. I'm not going to feel her soft skin as I cry with relief. I'm not going to feel her warmth as I hug her tight. I'm not going to taste her sweet lips as I kiss her with happiness. She's not here. She's somewhere else. All alone."
Ray leant against the wall and slumped to the floor.
"We'll find her." Kai repeated for the third time.
"How? You don't even know where she is!"
"I had a dream that this would happen. And the events so far have been the exactly the same as my dreams. I believe that my dreams are coming true. I know it sounds like bullshit but this is too much of a coincidence to just ignore it."
Ray stood up and glared at Kai.
"You've been having dreams of this?" Kai could sense the anger in Ray's tone. Boy, what would he sound like when (or if) he told her that he dreamt about kissing Mariah and it came true.
"I thought they were just dreams. Just nightmares. We'll get Kenny and Hilary to research the black van and the complex. When I dreamt about it, I recognised it. It's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't manage to say it. Believe me, it's frustrating me to no end. We'll phone the others, ok?"
Kai got out his cell phone and began to dial Tyson's number when Ray's words stopped him.
"What happened to her? What happened to her in your dreams?"
Kai sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Ray stood up.
"Tell me, Kai, if your dreams are coming true I have to know what is or is going to happen to her." Ray looked Kai straight in the eye.
"Most of my dreams she was being chained up. But in one… she was being tortured."
Ray slumped back to the floor and put his head in his hands. Kai phoned Tyson. On the third time he called Tyson finally picked it up.
"Urgh… I'm getting it Hilary! Who are you and why do you hate me?"
"Tyson… I've got bad news…"
"McDonalds closed down?!"
Kai rolled his eyes at Tyson's idiotic view of 'bad news'.
"No you moron! Mariah's been… kidnapped."
There was a pause then Tyson laughed.
"Oh come on, Kai. Quit yanking my chain."
"It's true, ok? Get some sleep then meet me round my house. We have to find her."
"Does Ray know?" Kai noticed the drastic change in Tyson's voice. Tyson was finally being serious. Wow, call the press.
Kai shook his head. He couldn't be sarcastic now. He had to focus on Mariah.
"Yes. I'm with him right now."
"Is he ok?"
"He'll be fine. Tell Hilary, ok?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Tyson?"
"Yeah?"
"Make sure you're at my house by nine. Phone Kenny and make sure he remembers to bring his laptop."
"Chief never goes anywhere without his laptop." Hn. An attempt to brighten the mood and Kai despite himself did the smallest smile known for a brief second.
"Bye Kai."
"Bye Tyson."
Kai put the phone down then rang Max's number. Regardless of the late time, Max picked up the phone almost instantly.
"Hi, Kai! Hey! That rhymes! Kai! Bye! Cry! Sigh! Die!" he said in a singsong voice. Kai sighed. Max must have been hyper on sugar. Kai personally would burn it all but then the fumes could do serious damage to Max. Heck, even Kai was scared of a super hyped up Max.
"Max, I've got bad news…"
Max's tone instantly changed. "What is it, Kai?"

Ok, I personally found that chapter a bit boring and I KNOW I said that you'd find out who the kidnappers were but I promise you'll find out in the next chapter. I hope.
