Lia- XARAGI! HELLOS! Well, there's a funny bit I discovered when I got the beyblade manga is that Ray does actually keep falling asleep all the time for no apparant reason, whether its cat instincts I don't know, but hey! So he's not ill, no. I wouldn't make lil' kitty be ill! Not when there's the certain bluenette around.. heheheee...

Tala: Heh... just type now...
Chapter four: There's a strange thing about those strangers...
"Kai..."
Silence.
"Kai...?"
An even longer silence.
"KAI!"
Crimson eyes snapped open, the dual haired teen sitting up quickly, "Oh, it's only you."
"Only me!" Ray retorted, "Well, isn't that nice...?"
Kai raised an eyebrow at the other, "Hmm...? What did you want?"
"Well your 'majesty', you fell asleep. Oh, and why I woke you? The lessons over now."
"Kon, you're timing is rather inaccurate. Why wait till the END of the lesson to wake me?" The bluenette questioned, grabbing for his bag. The neko-jin didn't reply for a moment, blinking. "Well, what's the fun in waking up DURING the lesson? I mean, it's better to realise you slept through it, well, part of it anyway."
"I suppose..." Kai said. He got up slowly, the other following his lead as they made their way out of the classroom. "I told the other's to go on ahead and wait for us in the usual place."
"Oh, ok."
Ray frowned in concern at the other's sudden quiet nature, "Hey, Kai...?" He watched as the bluenette turned to look back at him, "Hmm?" He paused, narrowing his eyes, "If your next sentence involves the phrase 'is there something wrong?' I'm going to ignore you."
"Really!"
"What...?"
Ray blinked, "I mean, how could you be able to ignore ME!" He smiled and grabbed Kai's arm, "C'mon we're such good friends though. Well, you've proved that you clearly despise making any contact with Tyson 'n that. I guess I've made an acheivement!"
The bluenette raised an eyebrow, "What the heck-!" He stopped as the neko-jin flashed a devious smile before embracing him tightly, "Well I'm the only Bladebreaker to successfully share a conversation with the anti-social captain. I can see right through you Kai, you aren't a bad guy at all! You just want someone you can talk to, right?"
Kai frowned in the other's grip, against his wishes he knew he'd never be able to deny it, but Ray was right... Maybe that really was all he wanted... But inside of him he wanted more... MUCH MORE...
"I take it by your awkward silence that for once I may be correct about you?" Ray mused, waiting for a reply. "I guess..." The bluenette mumbled before looking away. Kai's eyes suddenly grew wide as the other's hand slipped underneath his shirt, "Er... Ray...?"
"Hmm?" The neko-jin seemed to be in his own little world by now, smiling to himself.
"You can let go now. After all, this is looking kind of wrong you know? If you haven't realised wherer your hands are going that is."
Ray turned to stare up at his captain slowly with a malicious smirk, "It depends, did you want my hand to go up or down? Besides... you're the captain, and I'm... like your slave I guess."
Kai decided that he'd look away now, and stay like that for all he cared.
"Kai? Hey..." Ray peered round to see the other's face, "Awww... Lil' Kai's blushing!"
"Am not."
"Yes you are! Don't think I can't see it! And don't you start giving me the 'oh, it's just hot in here' excuse. Hehe, the neko-jin knows well!"
"The neko-jin knows too much..." Kai grumbled.
Ray blinked up at him, "Ah! So you WERE blushing!"
"I never said that Kon."
The neko-jin pouted, "Oh really? Well, we'll just have to see about that won't we?" He let his hand wander further up the other's shirt, stroking the skin underneath. "So... how's it now captain?" Ray teased, noticing the other's face redden even more, "I knew it! You blushed!" Amber eyes shot to the side as a figure slid past them at an unimaginable speed, the after draft whipping through raven bangs.
"Who... was that...?" Kai said, staring at one spot all the time he spoke.
The neko-jin shook his head, bewildered, "I don't know... they were wearing black clothes if that helps..."
"Not really." The bluenette replied, the other's arms snaking away. He frowned down at his pocket, noticing a folded peice of paper in it all of a sudden, he took it out, staring at it hard.
"What's up with that?" Ray asked, his head leaning to one side.
The bluenette narrowed his eyes, "This wasn't here before..." He said, crimson meeting amber in the midst of confusion.
"Well, see if it has anything on it." The neko-jin suggested, "I mean, it could just be nothing but a harmless peice of paper..." He laughed nervously, "After all, whoever that person was, if there even was one that is, it can't have been fast enough to put that in your pocket. That would just be... freaky..." Ray watched the other as he unfolded the paper, who was wearing a more confused look then before. "Well? What does it say?"
Kai raised his eyes level, passing him the note. The neko-jin frowned slightly, taking it from him, "Huh?" Ray paused, "'A simple embrace can mean so much more'?" The bluenette nodded at him, "But all the teachers have left for break by now and locked up their classrooms, there's no windows nearby either so, how the heck...!"
"I'm just as confused as you are." Kai added, "But whoever this person is, they managed to get into the school unknown. Any stranger who's seen and not recognised as a visitor is instantly thrown out, but with the strict security round here, how did they even manage to get near the gates without being caught!"
"Well Detective Hiwatari, this guy must be used to sneaking around. But what makes me curious is that some random person came in to give you this note."
"Wrong Kon."
Ray pouted as the other started to walk away, "What do you mean by that!"
"It's simple." Kai replied, "You only hugged me a short while ago, so that person must have just decided to write the note when they saw us, which means that they must have been here for another reason asides this."
"Wow..." The neko-jin nodded slowly, "I guess so... I wonder why they did come here though..."
The bluenette peered over his shoulder at the other, "Look, don't start making this all into some massive soap opera ok? Its all over now, nothing to see."
"But is it...? Dum, dum-"
"Ray."
"Hmm?"
"Shut up."
Ray rolled his eyes, following the other outside, "So, what next?" He stared at the bluenette, who slowed to a halt, turning to face him, "What next?"
"Yeah. What are we going to do next?" The neko-jin smiled, "I know! We can try and find this person as a team! Detective duo Hiwatari and Kon, I can imagine it now..."
"I bet you can." Kai mused, walking off again.
"Hey! Don't run off without me!" Ray whined, he ran ahead of the other, grabbing his tie, "Bad dog! We're partners now, remember?"
Kai nodded slowly in reply just to satisfy the neko-jin, "I remember..." He glanced to the side as they passed large crowds of students, "But you can never do things normally, can you?"
"I have methods in my madness, Hiwatari."
"Which are?"
Ray sighed heavily, making a sharp tug at the tie in his hand, "I merely do it for my own enjoyment. It's always fun to be dominant... I'm sure you'd understand that, as the captain of the team I mean." He flashed a quick smile before turning to stare ahead of him, walking on slowly.
Kai winced as he raised his head, the sun glowed brightly overhead as they entered a small secluded part of the main school field, there were small trees in a circle formation, creating one of the only shady areas in the entire school. Ray decided to let go of his tie now, wandering over to one of the trees.
"Tyson 'n that still haven't come back..." He mumbled.
The bluenette nodded in reply, folding his arms in the usual silent manner, "You seem a lot quieter ever since that stupid note." He said, catching the other's attention, "If I were you I'd stop that right now." Kai shifted up to the neko-jin, smiling slyly at his bewildered expression, "You're thinking way too much Kon. For the sake of your remaining brain cells I'm afraid I have to stop you, it's my job to do the thinking around here. Which is exactly why I am captain."
Kai blinked as he felt something drop on his head, eyes darting down to the floor.
"What is it?" Ray asked, staring at the bluenette's hand.
"This just fell on my head." Kai mumbled, earning an amused smirk from the other. "Relax, birds often do that, just be glad it wasn't-"
"Do birds drop paper on your head!"
Ray paused for a moment, staring up at the tree, "No, but they do." He squinted his eyes suddenly as they made out something black sitting up in the tree, "Hey, do I know you from somewhere?" Kai rolled his eyes, getting up on his feet, "Look pal, I don't know who you think you are but-" He stopped as the figure jumped out of the tree, waving mockingly as they walked away.
"Hey! I haven't finished with you yet! Get back here!" Kai narrowed his eyes as the person slowed down, turning on their heel before pacing back, "You really have some nerve strutting around this place giving people stupid little notes then ignoring them when they're talking to you!" He blurted. The figure, who was a bit taller then him, patted him on the head in reply.
"Aww, well at least the guy hasn't gone and thumped you in the face." Ray said, "Hi random person! I'm Ray, and this is Kai." He smiled, poking the bluenette in the forehead, "Just ignore him though, he tends to a get a lil' bit grumpy round strangers. He feels insecure around people like you, but I don't mean that offensively of course! We're encouraging him to be a little more friendly to others lately. But I guess he's still quite stubborn, aren't you doggy?"
"I'm not a dog, we've discussed that many times before." Kai stated, arms folded once again.
"See?" Ray added, "But anyway, who are you?"
The stranger turned away again without a word, leaping up over the school fencing.
"And there he goes..." Kai said.
"He? How d'you know it's not a she?"
The bluenette wore a blank look, "Well it's either a he or a very flat chested she!"
"It could be possible." Ray replied, earning a sigh from the other.
"Hey! Kai, Ray!"
The pair turned to where the voice had come from, Max beeming at them in his usual friendly way. "Wow, you guys sure took your time!" He said, laughing afterwards. Kai raised an eyebrow at this, "WE took our time? More like YOU did!"
"Oh well!" The blonde replied, "The weather fine and so am I!"
"Whatever you say." Kai mumbled. Max staring back and forth between him and the neko-jin, "So, why DID you take so long?"
(A.N: At first I was going to make it so that it's Tyson that shows up, but I've decided it to be Max instead. But I'm doing this in honour of a new beyblade fan, Chen, who likes Max, so there you are.)
"We were just talking." Ray answered. "But I guess things sorta' came up between us, so we stayed back for a while. Besides, its empty in the corridors so no teachers could catch us." As he finished, he noticed the blank expression on the blonde's face, "So.. what was exactly happened back there? Why didn't you want teachers catching you?" He smiled at the other wrcmly, "People can't tell you off for talking to each other!"
"Who said they were talking?" Tyson said slyly, creeping up behind the bluenette. "So Kai, what exactly, 'came up' between you two?"
"Nothing." Kai replied bluntly. Max frowned in thought, folding his arms like the captain, "Oh! I get it now!" Tyson nodded with a devious grin from the corner of his eye, "You two didn't want fangirls turning up! They must be really annoying..."
Tyson rolled his eyes, "Yes Maxie, but you know, they were probably doing OTHER stuff... PRIVATE stuff..."
"Oh yeah, fangirls are so nosey aren't they?" The blonde added. The others stared at him blankly, Tyson shook his head, "No no no Maxie, OTHER STUFF. They were doing OTHER STUFF."
"What? Ummmmmmm... Ray, was Kai giving you answers to some homework!"
It was now that the rest of the team decided that people's innocence proved to be a very amusing thing. Tyson smiled at the blonde, "Yep! That's exactly what I meant!" He beemed, gripping his friend's shoulder proudly, "You have some wicked brain power in that skull Maxie! Man, I'll have to be copying answers from YOUR work soon!"
"Really? You think so?" Max exclaimed, "You know, most people treat me like I'm an idiot because I'm blonde." Kai laughed under his breath, the neko-jin's elbow jabbing his side roughly to shut him up. Crimson met amber as Ray shook his head, a serious frown turning into a small pout.
"Well then, I think I'd better start eating my food now!" Tyson declared, his teamates sweatdropping. "But why didn't you eat down at the cafeteria?" Ray asked curiously. His shorter friend just let out a laugh, patting him on the back, "Aw c'mon, gimme' a break already! With all that good grub in the cafe there was just no way I'd be able to choose a snack in a few minutes!" Tyson dived into his bag, "Mind you, I've still got my spare supply of food in here."
"Spare supply!" The neko-jin exclaimed, turning to the bluenette. Kai just shrugged his shoulders in reply. Ray's attention now back to the dragoon blader.
"Yeah!" Tyson said, "You've gotta' be prepared for all situations!"
Ray nodded slowly, "Riiight... so, what situation is all this food for?"
"Incase someone tries to blow up the cafeteria!" Tyson replied, assuming this was no doubt a very serious thing if such an event were to occur.
Kai folded his arms in thought, "So what makes you think some stranger would come in to the school for unknown reasons, then plant bombs around the cafeteria and blow it up?"
"Hey, that reminds me!" Ray interupted, "We saw some stranger wandering around here! AND for unknown reasons!"
"REALLY! Come on guys! We have to report this to the head! Our caferteria's life is at risk!" Tyson quickly whirred round, Max grabbing his arm, "Tyson, it's alright. I'm sure no-one's planning to blow the cafeteria up. Unless they want days of being hunted down by you."
Tyson frowned, "No, I think I know exactly what's going on here! The stranger wants to blow the cafeteria up knowing that it would upset ME! I, the world champion, shall not stand for this! Max, you can hang round with me, Kenny, you set up a high-tech security thingy, Ray, keep a watch out incase security goes down, 'n Kai can be my bodyguard! No one'll dare go near Hiwatari and the death glare of doom!"
Kai smirked at the other's remark, "But I'll need to test whether I still have the death glare in me, there's no pont in being given the job if I can't even do the death glare. Tell you what Tyson, stand infront of me for a second..."
"Huh! No way man! Make Ray do it!" Tyson stammered, pointing at the neko-jin. Ray stared at the pair, blinking amber orbs innocently, "Hmm? Do what?"
"Oh nothing," Tyson said slyly, "Kai just wants you to give him-" He shut up immediatly, watching as crimson orbs narrowd, "Eh, never mind!" He laughed nervously, patting the bluenette on the back, "Congrats, it seems you haven't lost your touch on the ol' death glare. Just- just don't use it on me, ok bud? You know, 'cos we're friends 'n all, it would be rather pointless for us to be killin' each other. Especially with our own eyes... heh heh heh..."
"YAY! WINK MURDER!" Max cheered, "I wanna' be the murderer!"
Tyson sweatdropped at the blonde, "Maxie, the point of the game is that the detective doesn't know who the murderer is."
"Who's the detective?"
"Kenny."
There was a faint sound of typing from the said boy, who sat there with his trusty laptop looking up the latest information he could find, either that or updating software that had already been updated the previous day before. The point of this, if there was any, was still yet to be discovered by the rest of the team.
"I thought he was the cheif." Max said.
Tyson nodded in reply, "True, but in this game he's the detective!"
"Ah, the cheif detective!" The blonde exclaimed, "I get it now! Sheesh Tyson, you gotta' stop confusing people like that."
"Wha-?"
"I know! Kai, YOU be the murderer!" Max suggested. The bluenette rolled his eyes, "Sure, because I'm the LAST person any of you guys would ever accuse."
"Oh, no no! You don't actually kill people because you're the muderer! No, you just wink at them and they're dead!"
"If muder was that easy the whole of the earth's population would've been wiped out by now." Kai said, "Besides, I have no problem in killing any of you guys if I had to."
"Even Ray?" Tyson mused, "The cute lil' neko who you know you wanna'-" He was stopped by a tap on his shoulder from Kenny, "Huh? What's up Cheif?"
"Tyson, have you noticed how quiet it's gotten around here?"
The dragoon blader frowned slightly, "No, why?"
"Because break finished ten minutes ago!"
"WHAT!"
