AnimeGirl: stares, eyes wide at nothing in particular

Kai: What's wrong with you?

AnimeGirl: 6 reviews. 6 reviews, can you believe it? I actually got 6 reviews! That's the most I've ever gotten in one chapter, so in light of my happiness, Kai, you get to make me a new nickname!

Kai: Hmm… How about AG329? It's shorter and sounds better.

AG329: Ok then, now do the disclaimer!

Kai: mumbles incoherent words. Disclaimer: AG329 does not own beyblade, but she does own her OC's. That sucks for you Yuki.

Yuki: glares

AG329: Let's thank all of my reviewers now! Also, for all of you that reviewed, here's a cookie!

FireBoy987: Thanx, and I read your story. I think it's great…keep it coming

LeVeL27Guitar: Super Thanx for reviewing twice. I'm glad you like my story enough to put it on your favorites, and no problem, I love your story. Also, thanx for the moral support, I have 2 weeks left to finish two books! LOL

Lil' angelgrl: Super thanx to you. You've been with me since the very beginning and you haven't missed reviewing a single chapter! You'll find out what Tala meant in this chapter.

Crying Sorceress: Thanx, I'm glad you like my story. Ok I'll keep that in mind and try to change POV's less.

I hope you can forgive me for the late update, and I hope this chapter makes up for it. In fact, I'm dedicating this chapter to all of you who reviewed. This is my most favorite chapter by far. You'll see why at the end.

Chapter 6: The Truth be Told

Tala's POV

We, that is, me, the G Revolution, and the Purity Bladers, with the exception of Kai and Cat, were hanging out in the G Revolution's suite. We all got together after my match with Cat. Weirdly enough, both Cat and Kai just seemed to disappear after the match. I doubt that they're together though, and I guess I really shouldn't be too worried. They can take care of themselves, it's just, I wanted to talk to them about something important…

"TYSON! You're such a pig! Stop eating like that! You're gonna make me sick!" Hillary yelled with obvious disgust in her voice.

"Well then maybe you should stop hanging around me, it's not like anyone wants you here anyways!" Tyson and Hillary were having another one of their fights, and that last comment really seemed to upset Hillary.

"Well if that's how you really feel…" Hillary started to walk towards the door. She was obviously hurt, and it really showed in her eyes. I can't believe how mean they are to each other sometimes.

"Wait! Hillary! I didn't mean it! I-I love you!" Tyson was on his knees pleading to Hillary. It was pretty funny to watch actually.

"Y-You mean it, Tyson?" Hillary asked. She looked like she was on the merge of tears. Looks like things are finally gonna get hot in here. It's about time some action happened between those two. I smirked as I imagined the possibilities. (A/N: You're such a pervert Tala…)

"Yes." Tyson lowered his head to cover his cheeks which were red from embarrassment. I found this really funny and it took a lot of energy to keep myself from laughing.

"Oh, Tyson." Hillary jumped into Tyson's arms and planted a kiss on his lips. He gladly accepted the kiss and returned it.

I watched them jealously. I wasn't jealous of Tyson because he was dating Hillary, god no, I was jealous because they both had someone, and I didn't. I mean, I know I'm a player and all, but still…My thoughts were interrupted as a mass of pink jumped onto the unsuspecting Ray, knocking him down.

"Ray!"

"Wha-Oh, hey Mariah…" Ray pushed Mariah off of him, and brushed himself off. I glared at him and noticed that Mariah was looking mighty fine today.

"Um…excuse me, but…WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Cherry was clearly jealous of Mariah who was still clinging onto Ray like she would die if she let go.

"The name's Mariah, and I'm Ray's girlfriend." Mariah stuck out her tongue as she said that. She looked really cute when she did it. Man, Ray's really lucky to have a cute girl like her. Cherry stared at her in disbelief. God, could she make it anymore obvious that she has a thing for Ray?

"Mariah."

"Yes, Ray?"

"I'm not your boyfriend. I already explained this too you. I love you like a sister, and that's all. I'm sorry Mariah." Ray pushed her off, and Cherry looked extremely relieved. Mariah, on the other hand, looked like she was gonna cry.

"If you don't love me than whom do you love?" Mariah asked, though it sounded more like a demand as opposed to a question.

"Well, um…" Ray started to blush as he turned to face Cherry. I could already see where this was going. "Mika, would you go out with me?"

"Of course Ray!" Cherry wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Great, now two more of my friends are a couple, and I'm still single!

I saw Mariah lower her head and run out of the room. Ray looked really upset in a brotherly way. He started to go after her, but I motioned for him to stop and gave him a look that said 'Leave her alone, she needs some time to herself.' Ray nodded his head solemnly and wrapped his arms around Cherry.

With Yuki-Yuki's POV

I sat in a tree thinking about everything that has happened since Mika's 16th birthday. Let's see…I found out about the tournament, registered my team, met up with the G Revolution and Kai, got my revenge, beat Tala in the semi-finals, and dealt with Kiama and some old memories. Yep, that's about it.

I closed my eyes and listened to the leaves rustling in the wing when I heard someone crying. I opened my eyes and saw a person, or was it a blob of pink bubble gum, under me sitting against the tree's trunk. I made the person out to be a girl. I studied her and noticed she had pink hair and cat-like features like Ray. I concluded she was a neko-jin, and I decided to make my presence known.

"Hey, Pinky! What the hell is wrong with you?" I saw her look up at me. I smirked when I noticed that her mascara was running.

"Who you calling Pinky? You're wearing as much pink as me! As for what's wrong…it's…about…a guy." I immediately felt bad for her when she said it was about a guy. I jumped from my branch and sat next to her. I put my arm around her shoulders so she could lean on me.

"Tell me." I noticed her sigh before she started to talk.

"His name is Ray. Ray Kon. I love him so much! We may not have been dating, but we were perfect for each other! It was only a matter of time…then she came. Some red head. I think her name was Mika…can you believe Ray actually had the nerve to say that he only likes me like a sister and ask that bitch out in front of me?" She started crying again. I sighed. Looks like Ray and Mika are finally together. It was a matter of time. I looked at the girl next to me and figured that she was Mariah of the White Tiger X team.

"Mariah-" I started, but she cut me off.

"How did you-" I waved my hand dismissing the matter and continued.

"As I was saying, you don't really love Ray like you think you do. You love him like a brother. The thing is, as you got older, girls started going on to him, and he started to pay less attention to you. As a result, you made yourself believe that you love him so he would spend more time with you." She looked at me obviously angry.

"How would you know? I do to love Ray!"

"I know because I was once stupid enough to let myself fall in love! I can see it in your eyes, Mariah! You don't love him!" Mariah's eyes got wide as she was struck with reality.

"You're…you're right. I'm sorry for doubting you. Will you please tell me about the time you fell in love? If it's not too much trouble…?..."

"I was five, I know I was young, but I was still in love, I met this guy…well to make a long story short, I fell in love, got really close to him, even kissed him, then something happened, he hurt me emotionally, and I've hated him ever since. We're still not on the best of terms with each other."

"I'm so sorry. What was his name?"

"Kai…Kai Hiwatari…" I don't really know why I told her all that, but I felt like I could trust her. I knew that she knows who Kai is, but that didn't matter to me. I started to walk back towards my hotel room.

"Hey! Wait! I never caught your name!" Mariah yelled after me. I turned around and looked at her.

"Boss…leader of the Purity Bladers…but you can call me Yuki." I turned around and left, but not before noticing Mariah smile and wave goodbye.

In The Hotel Room-Still Yuki's POV

I walked into the room and smiled, something very rare for me. Tyson and Hillary, Ray and Mika. They were perfect for each other.

"Cat, I need to talk to you." I looked at Red and nodded for him to continue. Everyone else was listening as well. "It's about…Kai." I slowly nodded my head for him to continue. (A/N: I'm going to put Tala's speech in Flashback form to make it easier to understand…)

Flashback-Tala's POV

I was walking around the halls of Biovolt when I passed Voltaire's office. I heard some talking, so I decided to eavesdrop.

"Well, Boris?"

"The plan was a success, sir. The five girls' parents have been murdered and their bodies buried in unmarked graves in and abandoned forest. Also, I had Kai set fire to the houses making it seem like he caused the deaths of the girls' parents as you ordered."

"Good, now the girls will isolate themselves from Kai and he can finally reach his true potential!"

I gasped at what I heard. Kai was just set up to make it look like he murdered people even though he really didn't! I looked around knowing that I had to tell someone, but before I knew it, Kai entered Voltaire's office, and my friends, the girls, charged in and got lied to. They ran back out before I could explain things to them, and I saw them leave, not knowing that that was the last time I was going to see them for 10 years.

End of Flashback-Yuki's POV

I stared at Tala as he looked at me with eyes that told me he was telling the truth. I left the room, leaving everyone else to talk about it.

I went to the beach and walked along the shoreline. When I looked up, I saw Kai. I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck while crying into his shoulder. He looked at me confused for a moment but quickly returned my hug.

"Yuki, what's wrong?" I looked into his eyes and saw pure concern for me. I sighed and told him exactly what Tala told me.

"I'm so sorry Kai…" I looked down, not able to look Kai in the eye. After everything I went through, after everything I put Kai through, it was all for nothing.

I felt his fingers on my face as he gently caressed my cheek. His fingers went under my chin, and gently lift my head up to make my eyes meet his.

"It's ok." I felt my heart skip a beat as he said those two simple words.

He slowly lowered his face towards mine. Instinctively, I closed my eyes. His lips were mere centimeters away from mine, and he hesitated. I felt myself smile as I closed the gap between our mouths.

As soon as I felt his lips touch mine, my whole body melted. My chest was pounding so hard, I thought my heart was going to pop out. His tongue touched my lower lip as if asking permission for entrance. I gladly gave it to him. His tongue ran through my mouth passionately yet very gently, tasting it and claiming it as his own.

Suddenly my eyes snapped open, and I realized what was happening. I quickly pulled away from Kai and ran off, still confused about what had just happened. I could feel Kiama's bitchip glowing, but I quickly dismissed it.

AG329: There you go. I hope Kai wasn't too OOC…The next chapter will be called Chapter 7: My Feelings for You: The Semi-Finals End

Tala: sighs heavily and sits down next to AG329

AG329: What's wrong with you, and where are the others?

Tala: Hillary and Tyson are making out in the kitchen, Ray and Cherry are making out in the living room, Little L and Max are at the candy store, K Pup and Daichi are off getting into trouble, Honey and The Chief are trading information on their laptops, Kai is god knows where, and Mariah is trying to cheer Cat up. I seriously need a girlfriend or something…

AG329: Don't worry; you won't be single too long…

Tala: Really?

AG329: Yep. To all you readers, that's a hint of what's to come in future chapters.

Tala: Click that little purple button down there and review please so she can get to writing those chapters!
