-Chapter Three-
.: White Tigers' Strange Day :.
"Um, Lee?" Mariah called from Lee's porch, skimming through his mail when a figure approached.
"What?" Lee popped his head out the door, arms filled with random objects and items. He spotted the figure, and said, "Well, looks like we have a guest." Lee popped his head back into the house to drop the items and returned outside to the porch. Mariah stood up, standing beside the Chinese boy.
The figure was obviously a boy their age, with a dark violet crew cut hair that seems to be spiked, amber eyes, fair toned wearing all black Chinese clothing with the buttons yellow-gold and the sash yellow as well.
"I am looking for someone" the boy spoke with a monotone voice.
"What's their name and yours?" Mariah asked, a bit wary.
"My apology, my name is Akito" He said like he was reading it from a book, "The person I am looking for is Rei Kon."
"Rei?" Lee echoed, blinking, "Why would you want to look for him?"
"I have business with him" Akito replied. "Is he here or what?"
"He's in Japan for the summer" Lee carefully replied.
Akito shifted his amber eyes elsewhere, and then lifted it up to meet both Mariah's and Lee's gazing yellow-amber eyes, "Where in Japan?"
Mariah felt uneasy with Akito's dead voice. But why? It's just a voice right? Her eyes shifted to the wooden porch and then back up again, finally replying since it looked like Lee wasn't going to. "We wouldn't know. He's staying with his teammates, the BladeBreakers."
"I see" Akito barely nodded, turning his attention to Mariah now. His amber eyes slightly narrowed, like it was inspecting Mariah [AKITO IS NOT A PERVERT! Think it as like . . . Oh, READING her perhaps?].
The girl felt uneasy with his eyes so she moved behind Lee, peering over his shoulder with caution. Akito waved and left, leaving the two Chinese in thoughts.
=LEE'S PLACE=
"You mean he was checking you out?!" Kevin asked, standing up but Gary's heavy hand held him down.
Mariah flushed, shaking her head violently. "NO!! I mean like, READING me! Right, Lee?"
Lee nodded, "I don't like that Akito. Something's up."
"Yeah" Gary agreed, still having his hand on Kevin's head. "It looked like he was on a mission."
Kevin shook his head to get Gary's hand off his head and slammed his fist on the table. "We have to tell Rei about this!"
"Kevin!" Mariah furrowed her brows. "Calm down!" Kevin reluctantly slid his fists off the table and onto his lap.
"If we should tell Rei, he'll immediately come back home" Lee said. "It'll only ruin his summer with the BladeBreakers."
"So we keep this as a secret?" Mariah asked, turning to face him.
"Until Rei comes back of course!" Kevin exclaimed in an obvious voice.
"No, we won't tell Rei" Lee stated. "It's only a minor problem anyway."
"But it might be bigger, Lee" Gary said.
"It's fine" Lee reassured. "If it does then we'll tell him."
The three hesitated to answer but eventually nodded.
"Now, let's forget about this and go swimming!" Lee announced, getting up.
"YEAH!" The three exclaimed.
=LAKE=
"You're gonna pay Kevin!" Mariah shouted as she dove after in the green haired boy.
"Nyah nyah!" Kevin stuck his tongue out, a few good feet away from Mariah and then went under water.
Lee just arrived, after bringing the forgotten towels at his place. "What's . . . going on?"
Gary smiled as he got out of the lake, taking a towel from Lee. "Kevin did a cannon ball and it splashed Mariah while she was tanning."
Lee smirked as he laid the extra towels down near the shore.
"WAHHH!!!" Kevin gurgled as Mariah dunked him deep underwater, his arms flailed up in the air, thrashing about.
Mariah smirked with a triumph and stated, "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DISTURBING MY TANNING!"
"I *gasp* didn't *gasp* mean *gasp* to!" Kevin said each time he had a breath of air.
"Sure . . ." Mariah said unbelievingly and then grinned.
Unknown to Mariah who was too busy grinning, Kevin pushed her down on her shoulders and her arms flew up.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Kevin laughed evilly. "Who has the last laugh now?!"
"I DO!!!" Mariah appeared behind Kevin and was about to strangle him but Kevin frantically swam away from her clutches. "COME BACK HERE!! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET, KEVIN!"
Kevin ran out on the shore, grabbing his towel on the way as he ran away from Mariah who followed closely behind. Gary and Lee laughed on the shore, watching the two with great amusement. Finally catching up to the small boy, she pounced on him, pinning him to the grassy plains.
"WAAHHHH!!" Kevin attempted to free himself but fail since Mariah was much stronger than him. "LEMME GO!! LEMME GO!"
"Hehe" Mariah grinned, her hair dripping all over Kevin's face, "Not yet, Kevin! You still have to pay!"
Kevin eyes widen, he knew where this is heading to . . .
=MARIAH'S PLACE=
"AH NO!! NOT THAT!!" Kevin screamed from Mariah's bedroom.
"OH YES THAT!" Mariah stated.
"What do you suppose she's doing to him?" Lee asked, after a sweatdrop.
"Probably a make over" Gary replied with shrug.
"I'M NOT GOING OUT THERE!!" Kevin protested.
"Oh yes you are!!" Mariah pushed open the door and out came . . .
Kevin had his hair tied in two high braided pigtails with pink ribbons circling it, a cute pink frilly dress with matching gloves. His eyes were eye-shadowed with glittery light pink, lips brushed with red lip stick, very faint pink on his cheekbones. He looked like he was really a girl. [MK: Hehe! Kevin: MK!!!!]
"WHOA!!!" Gary and Lee's eyes widen and then laughed hysterically.
"Doesn't he look adorable?" Mariah said, proud of her work.
"Yeah, for a China doll!" Kevin exclaimed as he tried to rub off the lip stick with the back of his hand. It didn't come off, "What's up with this LIPSTICK?!! IT WON'T COME OFF!!"
"Heh" Lee grinned, trying his best to burst out laughing again, "It's those brand lip stick names."
"Maybelinne!" Mariah said. [I dunno how to spell that. You know the lipstick commercial that says, 'Maybe she was born with it. Maybe she has Maybelinne.']
"Can I get out of this now???!!!" Kevin asked impatiently as he started to scratch his back. "It's ITCHY!!"
Gary smiled broadly, containing his laughter. Then Gary couldn't hold it any longer so he burst out laughing, so did Lee and Mariah giggle.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!! YOU TRY WEARING THIS!!" Kevin shouted.
"They already did!" Mariah grinned.
=*FLASHBACK*=
"Oh, Lee, Gary you two look so cute!" Mariah exclaimed, prancing around him as she threw petals of flowers.
Lee flushed in embarrassment. His black hair was tied in two low braided pigtails with yellow ribbons crossing, a very adorable yellow dress that had frills on the hems, sleeves and neck line. His eyes were shadowed with glittery but shiny light yellow eye-shadow, lips colored dark red, very pink blush on his cheekbones. White tights ran up his legs as he scratched it. He looked like a funny looking girl.
Gary flushed as well. Since he had almost no hair, Mariah added a short black wig that had wavy hair and some butterfly clips to it, a very cute light green dress that also had frills on the hems, sleeves and neck line. Gary's eye lid were colored very dark glittery green, lips tainted with dark reddish-purple with blush accentuating his cheekbones. Lucky for Gary he didn't have to wear those bothersome tights. All in all, Gary did look somewhat like a girl . . .
How did our Lee and Gary end up like this? Well, they thought it would be make-over to make them look better but NO Mariah forgot to add that little, measly detail; a make over like a girl.
Rei then came walking in and stopped abruptly, fell to the floor laughing with tears in his eyes.
"REI!!" Lee and Gary shouted.
"Oh yay! Another make over!!" Mariah immediately dragged the laughing boy to her room.
A half an hour later . . .
Mariah dragged out a very flustered Rei.
"He looks so pretty!" Mariah smiled broadly as she hopped up and down, clapping her hands gleefully.
Rei was blushing beet red, squeezing his eyes closed, not wanting to see Lee's expression of laughter or Gary's. His silky black hair was done in a fancy two buns with red ribbons wrapped around it and extra hanging, a remarkably pretty dark red dress with the lower part long and fluffy and the upper part form fitting straps with matching elbow length gloves. His eye lids were maroon colored, no glitter but somewhat shiny, lips painted with crimson red, very faint blush on cheekbones. Rei could pass for a girl!
"Rei, you look like a girl!" Lee exclaimed grinning as he tried to undo the braids.
Gary smiled, chuckling loudly.
"Doesn't he??" Mariah was visibly enjoying this.
The boy shook his head as he folded his arms. "I HATE THIS!!"
"But you look soooooo pretty Rei!" Mariah protested.
=*END OF FLASHBACK*=
"AIIIIEEEE!!!" Gary and Lee shouted.
"Mariah! You promised not to tell!!" Lee complained.
"I couldn't help it since we were on the subject" Mariah said, pouting.
"HAHAHAHA!" Kevin laughed, not believing this. "I HAVE TO SEE IT!!"
"See it and die hungry" Gary said.
*!*!*!*!*
MK: HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA!!
White Tiger boys: DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
MK: EEP!
Mariah: That was so much fun!
White Tiger boys: YOU JUST HAD TO DO THAT HUH??!! HUH?!!
MK: Uh . . . yeah?
White Tiger boys: DDDDDIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!
MK: MARIAH!!
Mariah: ^_^ It's their turn for revenge on you, MK!
