"Kai! Mariah's here!" he shouted. All of a sudden they heard a crash and everyone stopped in there tracks. "AAAHH! A burglar! A burglar!" Tyson cried jumping off the couch!
Then crying was heard and Ray took a deep breath. "Um…you can go look for him cause Tyson just woke the young one up and I have to go put them back to bed, I'm sorry Mariah!" Ray apologized. Mariah bowed. "It's fine Ray…I know what you mean," she said. And with that Ray dashed back to the infants and tried to comfort them.
"SHHH! It's ok, It's ok!" he whispered.
"MARIAH! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Kai shouted. "COME HERE KAI! YOU OWE ME!" Mariah shouted back. "OWE YOU FOR WHAT!" he snapped at her. "WHO PAID FOR YOUR PLAIN TICKET! WHO'S HOUSE DID YOU STAY AT WHEN YOU VISITED CHINA!" she growled.
A large bang was heard above Ray's heard as he looked up. The noise upstairs really didn't help the babies get to sleep. Lei, Koji, and Tyler just cried louder each bang that was made up stairs. Then soon Kai shot into the room and grabbed Ray by the shoulders! "Why'd you let her in!" he snapped in Ray's face. "Cause she's my friend! And she said she wanted to see you!" Ray exclaimed but softer. Kai felt Lei grab onto his collar and looked at him. Kai looked down at the golden eyes and realized that she was sad. "Ray…Lei she's…sad but why?" he asked. Ray took a deep breath. "Cause of all the racket you two have been causing!" he said.
Then a growl was heard and Kai and Ray turned to see Mariah in the doorway. "AAHH! Stop leave me alone!" Kai snapped. Mariah stopped towards Kai but stopped when she heard a small giggle. She turned to see the infant that looked just like Kai. She smiled as she walked over towards him. Kai who was now hiding behind Ray bit his lip. She reached into the crib and to Koji into her arms. A smile came across her face. Kai then pushed Ray aside. And was angry. "Put him down now Mariah!" he snapped. The pink haired girl turned.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because he's my son! Not yours!" the older bluenette snapped. Mariah laughed. "I don't remember you giving birth to him!" she snapped. Kai stepped back almost bumping into Ray and Lei. "Listen…I'm sorry!' he whispered.
Mariah's ears twitched as she looked at the man. "What…I couldn't here you!" she announced. Kai looked up slowly. "I said, I'm sorry….I'm sorry I wasn't there, I was busy…getting things done, so I could get my job back!" he announced.
It was true Kai lost his million dollar job and moved in with Mariah in China. While at a party one night something happened that they'll never forget. Nine months after that one night, Mariah gave birth to Koji, while Kai wasn't there…to see his son. He was busy trying to find a job and forgot to answer his phone. And when he got home he noticed a message.
'Mr. Kai Hiwatari we need you at the hospital now! Mariah Chou has just givin birth to your son…Koji Yuri Hiwartari,' then the message was done.
But the problem was is that Kai got the message a day after Koji was born so when he got there Mariah was gone and Koji was left alone in the nursery.
"Still Kai, do you think a job is more important than seeing your son, who did you come to when you needed money for a plain, who was there when you felt sad in China, I know Ray wasn't cause he moving to Beijing…tell me Kai!" Mariah cried holding Koji tighter. "Tell me!"
"You did Mariah and I'm really really sorry," he announced. He took a couple steps towards his son and his wife. "Really I am," he whispered. When he got close enough he out both hands on her shoulders and stared into her golden eyes. "If you forgive me…I'll forgive you," he said.
Tears ran down Mariah's cheeks, but in slow motion. Mariah turned away but looked back and leaned into Kai. "I'm a little tired do you mind if I sleep here tonight for a while?" Mariah asked. Ray laid the sleeping Lei down. "Well…you can sleep on the couch if you mind…we don't have a spare room, sorry," he said. Mariah smiled. "It's fine…I'd rather sleep on a warm soft couch then on the cold wet cement outside!" she laughed laying Koji down in the crib next to Lei.
"Well, Okay," and with that Ray and Kai left the room.
On there way upstairs Ray looked at Kai. "Mariah…Mariah's your wife!" he said shocked. Kai nodded. "Not technically…were not married yet, I haven't got the nerves or money to ask her…I still don't have my job back you know," he said. Ray nodded as they reached the top of the stairs. "You know what's weird…how Mr. Dickenson rented out a house instead of a hotel, it's funny to me," Ray pointed out. Kai smiled. "Yeah it is kinda funny but just plain weird to," he answered.
Ray opened his door and turned to Kai. "Well…good night see you tomorrow," Ray said. Kai nodded and went to his room.
Mariah was still downstairs looking at the sleeping Koji. "Your just like…your father…Nothing like me, just the golden eyes and neko jin figure, huh? Well…I'll see you tomorrow Koji, good night, for now," she said laying a gentle kiss above the child's forehead. And with that she left the room.
It was about midnight Ray was still up reading when his door slammed open and Salima came running into the room. She jumped on the bed next to Ray and hugged him. "I missed you!" she said planting a kiss on his forehead. Ray smiled. "I missed you too," he laughed kissing her on the lips instead of the forehead. Salima laid against Ray and looked at the book. It was in Chinese so she didn't understand a word. "Whatcha reading?" she asked. Ray wrapped his arm around her waist. "Actually…it's a journal I had when I was young…I wrote in it every night…it says how sad I felt when my parents were killed by poachers. Here I'll read you this one," and with that Ray started to read.
'Dear journal,
You don't know how sad I am right now! I can't say it with words, I'll tell you what happened.
My parents and I were hiking in the forest just some family fun time together. I loved my parents and I still do. We then heard gunshot and a roar from a lion I think. We ran over to the cry and saw two men and a women with huge guns almost as big as there bodies. On the ground in the middle of them was a large wounded white tiger. And I mean HUGE!
But since white tigers are nearly extinct we had to save it! My mother told me to stay behind the tree and whatever I do, do not show myself and if they did find me run straight to the closest village. So I watched as my mother and father showed themselves. Turns out these people were called poachers , which means people who kill almost extinct animals like the large white tiger for instance.
Then the tallest man had enough and took his large and deadly gun out and shot my father! My mother tried to protect him after that but was shot as well and killed right there. As for my father he tried to fight back! My father was brave! But very weak at the moment, and the lady took out a dagger and stabbed my father! Right in the chest! Blood was everywhere.
I started to cry right there! Which was a bad idea cause the men and the women heard me and spotted me so now I had to do what my parents told me…run! So I did.
The men fired there guns and the women threw long sharp needles at me which hit me in the back! The pain! The pain! Then a bullet hit me in the arm which hurt like heck! I finally lost them after an hour or so but was too weak to go on. I landed in the tall grass.
About an hour later a boy around my age named Lee found me. Carrying me back to his home village, which turns out to be called the White Tiger Village I was healed and fed and treated like my mother and father treated me. As soon as I healed Lee introduced me to some of his friends. A small green haired boy named Kevin, a tall boy with a built body named Gary and a pink hair girl named Mariah who I thought was cute.
After playing with my friends for a while I was sent a camp to learn martial arts which was fun! I was called from that day on the best of the White Tiger's Warriors. Lee was second. Soon Lee's grandfather, the medicine man gave me a gift. He said it was a bit chip for a bey blade. It was called the White Tiger or also known as Driger! I was happy, my friends were except for Lee. I thought out of all my friends my best friend, Lee Chou would be happy for me.
