King was on the sofa, changing his daughter diapers. Max was with him, remembering the good moments he spent taking care of Kai Jr. Tyson and Ray entered the living room.
"So Ray, I haven't asked you yet. When you entered in the kitchen this morning you were very happy. Did you had sex with Erika?" asks Tyson. Ray blushes and puts a silly smile.
"Yeah, I did!" says Ray, full of joy.
"How many times did she call you Kai?" asks Tyson. Ray makes a sad face and looks to the ground.
"Thirty two, al the others were sweetheart, which also means, in Erika's language, Kai." Whispers Ray.
"You knew dating Erika would be a real pain in the ass. She only thinks in Kai! Kai here! Kai there! Kai everywhere!" remembers Tyson. Ray looks to him. "At least you had sex. I, on the other hand, haven't got that luck. Hilary is always dining me. Am I ugly?" asks Tyson. Ray looks to him.
"Well, I'm not the right person to answer that question." Warns Ray. Tyson makes a sad face.
"Have you see Erika?" asks Max. "Her stepmother phoned."
"Well, she was on her bedroom." Says Tyson.
"I'll tell her that." Says Ray and goes to Erika's room.
Erika was laying on her bed. Ray sits near her and caresses her hair. Erika didn't show any emotion to Ray's love evidences.
"Erika…" says Ray. She didn't move. "Don't be like that."
"I'm feeling swollen…" yields Erika. Ray found that strange. "I don't know what it is…" Ray lays down near her and puts his hands on her body.
"Perhaps it was because of the lunch, that food was really heavy." Ray kisses Erika's face. "Now, why don't we…" Ray unties Erika's shirt. Erika felt a little embarrassed. Ray starts kissing her neck and then her mouth. The Chinese hugs her, pulling her to his body. Erika felt a little tight. Ray moves putting himself above her.
"Ray…" Erika was pushing him. Ray continues kissing her. "Let me breath." Ray kissed her neck. "Ray." Erika pushes him back hard. Ray looks to her.
"What?"
"Ray… I wanna be alone." Asks Erika. Ray sighs.
"Erika, when I started dating you, was with the intuit to make you happier. I miss your smile. How do you expect to become happier if you don't leave that bed and you're always crying?" Asks Ray. Erika didn't answer. "Where's that strong, always happy, full of life girl I met a year ago?"
"She's with Kai, …" says Erika. Ray pissed out.
"Kai! Kai! Kai! Always Kai!" yields Ray. "He's in coma and he wanted you to be happy!" Erika looks to him and then to the ground. "Just like I want you to be."
"Then…" Erika gets up. Ray looks to her. "I'm going to fight for my happiness!" Without knowing why, Ray felt worried.
"What are you going to do?" asks Ray. Erika dresses a different cloth and was ready to go outside. "Erika, wait!"
"Don't follow me, Ray! I'm going to do this alone." Erika goes down stairs and then leave the house. Tyson and the other were in the living room and saw Erika living Ray follows her but staid on home. Tyson looks to him.
"What's with she?" asks he. Ray looks to them and then to the door from which Erika left. 'Why do I think she's in trouble?' thinks Ray.
Erika caught a bus and went to Biovolt. The blader was looking to the building while the winter wind snaked over her face.
"If I wait for that judgment, I'm going to stay with out my son. Kai… I wait for to long to have that son with you, He's the only memory you left me. My son needs me. I'm going to fight for him." Erika takes her hand out of her pocket. Mermaid Dranzer Beyblade was shining a lot. "Give me strengths, Kai." Erika takes a deep breath and step forward.
The guards let her in and she was waiting for Boris in the room that once was from Voltaire. Erika looks to the desk and sees a photo from Kai, while he was a baby, and a very beautiful blue haired girl. Probably Boris didn't change the decoration.
Boris enters the room and evilly smiles to Erika. Erika was sad because Boris didn't bring Kaiser along with him.
"Valkova, what a pleasant surprise. What brings such a beauty in to my castle?" asks Boris, starting to have a lot of filthy thoughts.
"You know I'm Kaiser's mom. I have the right to stay with him! My son needs me! Why don't you just give him back to me? I'll let you continue your work in Biovolt, but please… give me back my baby!" begs Erika. Boris looks to her.
"Why should I remain in my lower position in Biovolt, when I could become the all mighty king of all this?" asks Boris. Erika looks angry to him. Boris steps forward and put his hand on Erika's hair. Erika felt dirt. "I've already told you. If you want to have your son back into your arms, you'll need to marry me and become my wife." Boris gets closer to Erika.
"I love Kai… I'll never marry you!" Says Erika, showing Boris her blue eyes full of tears and lightless. Boris looks to her eyes and bad memories came to surface.
"Those blue eyes… Your father showed me the same blue eyes when he shot at me on the arm twelve years ago. I still had the mark of those bullets in my arm." Boris grabs Erika face. The blader felt desperate. "But that's ok. Now I'm going to have his daughter in my arms, here, now!" Boris leans Erika against the wall. Erika was facing a monster taller than her and ready to destroy her ego.
"Stop it! Release me!" begs Erika. Boris grabs her leg, caressing it. Erika was tears fall like rain.
"I knew it. You were so desperate with your son missing that you couldn't take any more. I knew you were going to come here. I just needed to wait and now…" Boris grabs Erika's breast, hurting her. "Know I'm going to do with you, what I couldn't do with your mother…" Erika closes her eyes feeling Boris licking her face. Then, Erika hears something breaking. The blader opens her eyes and sees Boris fainting.
"Ray?" Erika looks to the door and sees Ray holding the lefts of a jar. Erika starts crying and runs to Ray arms. "OH, Ray!" Erika hugs him and cries a lot. Ray sighs of relief and hugs Erika. "Oh, Ray! He had done this just to have me… Oh, Ray! I'm so scared." Cries Erika. Ray smiles and caresses her hair.
"Everything's fine." Calms Ray.
"Oh Ray…" continues Erika.
"So, that's why?" Erika stops crying and Ray gets breathless. "That's the reason!" Erika and Ray look back and see Boris, pointing a gun to them. "You're dating that Chinese. And you say you love Kai. Lucky for you he is death. If he was awaken, he won't going to enjoy seeing you in his best friend arms."
"Ray?" Erika was worried.
"I know Erika… I know…" says Ray.
"If you can not stay with me, then you won't stay with any one." Boris was about to shot, but Ray pushed Erika to the ground, and both escape the bullet. "I have no problem killing your Chinese friend, after all, there are a lot of Chinese in the world!" Ray looks to Boris and jumps to him. Boris falls on the ground, dropping his gun.
"I won't let you hurt Erika!" Says Ray, punching Boris face. "Go to Hell! Go to Hell! GO TO HELL!" Boris takes a dagger out of is boot and staffs it into Ray's shoulder. The Chinese releases a scream. Erika becomes worried. She wanted to do something, but her strengths missed.
"It's time to kick your butt, the way I always wanted to do it, when you took away my plans to rule the world." Boris grabs Ray's head through his hair and starts hitting Ray's belly with his knees. Ray starts coughing blood.
Erika was looking to them, seeing Ray fading. 'I cannot let this happen. I saw Kai dying. I cannot lost Ray… Ray… I always make you suffer. Ray…" Erika takes Mermaid Dranzer out of her pocket and shots it to Boris. Mermaid Dranzer hits Boris shoulder and he falls on the ground, unconscious. Erika runs to Ray.
"Ray! Come on, Ray! Answer me!" Yields Erika. Ray looks to her and smiles, cleaning his blood from his mouth.
"You saved me… you saved me, Erika…" Ray's eyes start shining. Erika smiles to him.
"If it wasn't for you, Boris would violate me. You were the one who saved me. Thank you, Ray." Erika hugs Ray. The Chinese blushes. "Come on, let's get you into an hospital.
Minutes later. Ray was in a comfy bed on Moscow hospital. Erika noticed Tyson and the others. Ray looks to them.
"When you leave home that fast I though you were going to annoy Erika, but thank God you saved her," Says Hilary. Ray smiles.
"You're very lucky. A year ago you were beaten to death in the middle of a frozen Russian forest and now, you were beaten again, at least it was on a warmer place." Says Tyson, happy to see his friend all right.
"Do you need anything?" asks Max.
"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a night. You'll see, tomorrow I'll be on home." Says Ray. Erika enters the room with a chicken soup for Ray.
"Lunch time." Erika enters and sits near Ray. "Come on, you need to eat a lot so you can get well soon." Hilary and everyone noticed that Ray wanted to stay alone with Erika, except Tyson.
"Why don't we go outside and make some snowman?" says Hilary.
"Snowman? But?" Tyson found that strange. Hilary grabs his arm and pulls him out of the room.
"Let's go!" they all leave. Erika looks to Ray, giving him a spoon full of soup. Ray grabs slowly Erika's hand, making her blush. Ray's pulsation increases.
"I'll never forget what you've done for me." Says Ray. Erika looks aside. Ray takes the plate out of Erika's hands and grabs them. "Boris was going to kill me. You… you were very brave. I though you were too scared."
"When I… when I saw you like that… I had the idea I was going to lose you to. I already lost too many important people in my life; I didn't want to lose another." Erika looks to Ray and smiles. "I'm tired of sit and watch. We'll take Kaiser out of his prison. I promise Ray, no matter how bad my life get, no matter how much I'll suffer, I promise you I'll never cry again." Ray smiles.
"I'm happy to see you're the Erika from before. Now…" Ray puts his hand on Erika's face. "I just want to see the bright in your eyes again. Since Kai Jr born your eyes became lightless. I want to see does lights again." Erika releases a sad sigh.
"When Kaiser born, I realized I needed a men at my side. I had you, Tyson and Max, who helped me taking care of my baby, but… there was none who took care of me. I felt lonely… I missed Kai more than ever… I still miss him… Kai is the love of my life…" Says Erika. Ray looks to her.
"And I? What do I mean to you?" asks Ray. Erika looks to him, without knowing what to answer.
"You're one of those friends… one of those we want to keep for life… one of those…" Erika gets near Ray. "We'll fight for…" Erika puts her hands on Ray's face and kisses him. Ray blushed. Erika never kissed him; it was always him who took the initiative. Erika kissed him for a long time. Ray was enjoying a lot. "You're the type of friend… I'll give my life and my body."
"Erika… and if Kai wakes up?" asks Ray. Erika closes her eyes.
"I've already told you, when Kai wakes up, I'll go back to him and pass the rest of my life at his side." Says Erika.
"Until then?" asks Ray. Erika looks to him and smiles.
"Until then… I have to life my life, just as Kai wanted." Erika gets up and sits above Ray. Ray looked surprised. Erika takes out the blankets that were covering Ray and unties his trousers.
"Erika?" asks Ray. Erika takes out her shirt. Ray blushed more than ever. Erika bends down near his mouth.
"Don't worry. I went to the hospital's pharmacy and buy some condoms. Like you have sad, I want to have safety…" Erika kisses Ray, taking out her skirt. Ray bites his lips and puts his hands on Erika's legs. "You're my best friend, Ray… my best friend. Uh!" Ray smiles of joy. And the two continue making love.
