Dark wolf: Uh huh. Yep. I like leaving people on cliffhangers. I'm evil like that. Creative? Not really. Cruel? Perhaps. Crazy? Definitely. I'm glad that you have enjoyed the story so far.

GothicSabrina: Mmm… can I have some popcorn too? How cool would it be to watch two guys fight over your affections? Aw, you shouldn't throw rocks at poor Ray. Don't worry though, to balance it out, Raven threw some things at Kai. Rocks… metal bars… pianos… (she attempted to, but couldn't lift it so settled with a tuning fork. They hurt. I know)… Raven enjoyed her muffin. Oh great, now she's going to kill me for saying that. I liked those quotes too! - I'm 1/8 French, 1/32 Transylvanian (?), ¼ Italian and whatever's left (19/32 I think) English. Man, why did it happen to be Transylvania? Maybe I'm part vampire… Hmmm…

Skydragonofserrus: Behold, skydragonofserrus! I have updated!

Tigerrelly: Yeah, I thought it was funny too. Am I bad for that? Causing people emotional pain and then laughing about it? Oh well… I guess I'm kinda sadistic… Wow, that's a good mental image… seeing Ray go fetch… I'm so pleased that everybody likes her. I HATE Mary Sues and I would completely kill her off if she become REMOTELY Mary-Suish. Yep, I guess I could bring in Tala. Or I could just be evil and leave her in solitary torment. Mwa ha ha!

Destiny: When am I going to put the next chapter up? NOW! Who will she pick? I actually don't know… Raven and Tala? Who knows? I don't really mind if you have Rei but Tala is Raven's (she's scary when she's possessive) and Kai is mine, mine, mine! Mwa ha ha!

M: Wow! You haven't reviewed in AGES! Where have you been? How do you like it so far? So many questions! Thanks for your review!

Chapter Twenty-Four: Return of the Blue One(s)

"RAVEN!" they both exclaimed at the same time.

The person pulled back its hood, exposing dark blue hair and a pale face with three red scars. Her hair was pulled back like usual but in a ponytail instead of a plait. And it seemed it had been cut.

"So… what did I miss?" she asked with a knowing smile – not a smirk – on her face.

The two boys' eyes widened as they stared open mouthed at Raven. She was… SMILING!

In Ray's mind: Um…

In Kai's mind: WTF…

In Tyson's mind: Food…

(Dark side of Flowerperson: WHAT THE F ARE YOU DOING IN THIS SCENE? P OFF! WTF? WHAT THE F ARE ALL THESE B BEEPS HERE FOR!)

"Close your mouths. Your breath stinks."

"Raven? You're back?" Ray asked. A confused expression set on his features.

She raised an eyebrow then took her hands off their chests, satisfactory that they were too distracted on Raven's return to do more damage to each other… for the moment…

"No… this is just a hologram. A hologram that can talk, move and touch you. Or maybe I'm a ghost. Boo." She said sarcastically.

Raven observed the two brawling boys. They had obviously had a few punch ups, and were equally injured. Men. Ha. Easily tired out once all their testosterone had gone. Boys and their stupid egos.

Suddenly Ray looked back to Kai and Raven realised her mistake. Oops-a-daisy…

"Kai made a move for Mariah! He kissed her! He told me he had feelings for her!" Ray explained as he tried to get past Raven to attack Kai.

"And?"

Ooh. That stopped him. Oh. But wait. Now he was about to attack her. Drat.

"What?"

What did that character off Wacky Races (AN: Don't own) say? Double drat. Yeah, and then that weird dog Muttley snickered. Hey, that was a cool show.

GETTING OFF TOPIC, RAVEN! Her brain screamed at her.

Oh yeah. Ray glared at her with a fuelled hate, a fury that wasn't as scary as Tala's (boy, was that scary) but still god damn frightening.

Now she was in some deep doo-doo.

"I… knew about Hiwatari and Mariah."

"WHAT!"

Triple drat. She could hear that dog snickering now. Stupid Muttley… Stupid Kai… Stupid Mariah… Stupid Tala… Stupid Boris…

Hey, she seemed to think that a lot. Maybe she should make a song about it. 'I hate Mariah, Tala, Boris and Kai… I want them all to DIE DIE DIE!'

RAVEN! Her brain screeched at her again.

Ok, ok. She was definitely paying attention now. Wow, that cloud looked like a dog…

"You knew! And you didn't tell me?"

"I'm not a snitch Ray, apart from when it comes to getting revenge. And though I do despise Hiwatari with all my heart, I owe Mariah. Though technically, she owes me since I got her Galux and saved her from that perverted man…"

"Raven! Stay on topic!"

"Look! I knew, ok? Argh! I leave to get away from this hell-hole, meet Hiro and he persuades me to come back. Should have never listened to that blue haired, 'Jin of the Gale', pole up his…"

"Hiro?" Kai asked.

"Yeah, Hiro. Oh, do you know him?"

"Hiro… He's Tyson's older brother, isn't he?"

"Um… yeah."

"So, where did you meet him?" Kai questioned.

Ooh! Ooh! Kai was changing the subject. Changing the subject was good. "When I was finding out stuff."

"Stuff like what?"

"My family."

"Really? What did you find out?"

Wow. Kai was good at changing the subject. Did they do the Change-The-Subject-Olympics? Kai would get gold. Definitely.

"Um… he is my family. Hiro and Tyson are my brothers."

"… Really?"

"Do you really think I'd lie about that? My reputation has been ruined."

"Oh… wait a second! Where was I? Oh yeah! Kicking my ex-best-friend's ass!"

Raven sighed and grabbed Ray and Kai's collars, distancing them from each other and began to walk.

"Jeez, you guys could at least be respectable. I only got out of hospital three weeks ago you know. Honestly… Men have no respect for their superiors."
