Title: Can't Fight Love
Rating: T. Just… because.
Summary: Ray is in deeply in love with…? But what if she's married? Kai/Mariah/Ray. Who will Mariah choose? YOUR CHOICE!
Status: At the moment, it's going to be a very short story. May not even make it up to six chapters. This was just meant to be a one-shot, but I got reviews to continue.
Note: This chapter used to have a song but due to FFDOTNET's new rules, they aren't allowed. ;-; So… it will be considerably smaller.
Chapter two: Brown EyesMariah laughed as Kai brought her in bridal style. Her arms were wrapped around his neck as she lay her head against his shoulder. They were married. She was Mrs Mariah Hiwatari.
She liked her new name. It sounded better than Mariah Wong.
Mariah Kon…The pink haired woman shook her head, she wouldn't think about that.
If you had asked her back when she was beyblading who she would marry, she would have said Ray – her best friend. But things had changed.
He had hurt her. He had cut her so deep that it would have been forever bleeding had Kai not been able to heal it.
Even when she thought about it, it still hurt…
She did not want to think about that. She was in love with Kai; her crush on Ray had ended. She only loved him like family or as a best friend. Just like he did. Kai placed her gently on the rose-petals-covered bed.
It was so romantic. You would expect Kai to be heartless and uncaring but after Ray… hurt her, he had been there to comfort her.
After eight months of 'Just Good Friends', Kai asked her out. She agreed and they had dinner in an expensive restaurant (Hiwatari was a well known rich name). After, they had a walk in the park. When they were sitting on a bench by the fountain Kai turned to her and said that he loved her, and that he always would.
Mariah whispered that she loved him too before brushing her lips against his. Kai wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss.
That was her first kiss with someone other than Ray.
They continued to date and kiss. Around six months later, Kai proposed to her. She immediately accepted. By this time, Ray was in China. In fact, he had no idea of Mariah's relationship with Kai. And to be honest, Mariah didn't really care.
She was in love with Kai, and most importantly, he loved her back. That was all she cared about. Returned love.
Kai straddled her and kissed along her neck. Mariah put her hands in his hair and just enjoyed the feeling of being loved.
After all, that was all Mariah craved. To be loved. She had many friends, and many boys had made moves on her. One example was Mystel.
It was funny how at the start, Ray had been kind and loving for her and Kai had been cold, sarcastic and distant but now Ray had hurt her and Kai had loved her. Vaguely, she remembered how Ray had told Mystel to back off trying to chat up Mariah then had held her hand.
Mariah mentally giggled. It would seem that Ray only loved her when others were trying for her affection.
She then sighed as Kai found the weak spot on her neck that always made her melt. Ray had found that – not Kai. Yet Ray wanted nothing to do with her and to Kai she was his whole world.
Ray had hurt her so much…
Kai stopped kissing her neck and started unbuttoning Mariah's white blouse. They had gone to the Caribbean Islands. It had been so stuffy on the jet (Did you know that Kai had bought a jet, just for her?) that Mariah had to change into something cooler.
So this was it. Mariah was a virgin. And all those times she imagined getting married and surrendering to a man, she had thought it was Ray.
But no. Ray had broken her heart. Kai had fixed it. So now Kai was in this position, and she was glad he was.
She loved Kai. Ray was just a crush. Even though he had hurt her, she had no grudges against him. He was her best friend. Nothing could change that. If Kai told her she couldn't be friends with him, she'd be angry at Kai for thinking such nonsense.
But Kai was also Ray's best friend, so he would never tell her that.
Kai looked up at her and Mariah's amber gaze met his mahogany brown eyes. She was left breathless. For a brief second, his eyes had seemed lighter. Amber. And his hair had seemed darker. Ebony.
But now she saw the two-toned blue hair. And the brown eyes that gazed at her lovingly, with a bit of concern.
"Are you ok, Mariah?"
She nodded and smiled, still lost in those amber… BROWN eyes.
He looks at me and his brown eyes bare his soul
