Anywho, let's get on with the story, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade.
Kai, Ray, Tyson, and Max were in a cell. The place was dark and made of brick. There were only two beds, so they had to share. It was already creepy enough, but at night they heard all kinds of sounds. What they hoped were just rats, ran across the floor. And for the icing on the cake, it was freezing.
This was their second night there. It was about 9:30 p.m. Tyson was as usual, starving. They only had breakfast and lunch, dinner should be ariving shortly. "My stomach... it burns..." Tyson wined.He had been moaning for the past hour. "Tyson we're all hungry can't you please be quiet?" Max asked sitting next to him on the bed. "But Max, my stomach. I don't care what they bring me to eat, I'll eat a live cow right now." Max slapped his forehead.
"Tyson?" came from Ray. "Yeah Ray?" he answered."Shut up." Tyson screwed his face. Ray was on the other bed looking out of the bared window. Kai stood against the wall in 'Kai style' wondering what the heck was going on. First, they were kidnapped and betrayed by Mariah. Now, they just sat there in a cell. If your going to kidnap people have a reason to! was his main thought.
He thought over all the possible things his evil grandfather could do, but his mind couldn't stay on one subject, it kept going back to a certain pink haired girl. Mariah... why? he thought to himself. Why would she care? he asked himself. She doesn't even like me, but what about Ray? he thought a little while longer. Oh, yeah, the thing that happened some years ago. he sighed.
He was soon brought out of his thought by someone yelling. He looked up to see Tyson standing on the bed. "It's just a mouse." Max told him. "I hate mice!" he yelled jumping up and down on the bed.
"I'm embarrassed to even know you." Ray said in low tone. There was a raddling noise. All there heads turned to the door. It slowly opened to reveil the red head Russian. "Tala." Kai spat. He turn his head to Kai. "What?" he said calmly annoying. "Can we please eat now!" Tyson began to wine again holding on to the bars separating them and Tala. That's when Maraih came in with some food.
"Yes, finally!" he yelled reaching for it. Max pulled him back. "I wouldn't take it if I were you, she could have poisoned it." Mariah gave a faint smile, "I deserved that." despite Max's comment she slid the tray of food under the cell bars to them anyway.
Sighing, she sat on the only chair in the room. "I guess I owe you guy an explenation." they all nodded. "Boris and Voltaire had my family and friends captive. He would have done something very bad to them if I didn't do what he said."
"So you trapped us." Ray asked. "Aren't we your friends?" he asked. Mariah gave him a deadly look. "Your not!" she spat. Ray looked up at her. "I grew up with you! I should be more of a friend to you than them!" he protested.
"Um... let's see. You left our village without telling me or anyone else you were leaving, when we finally met up with you at the Asian Tournament, you chose to stay with the Baldebreakers and not us which was like you leaving again." "I thought you forgave me!" he cut her off. "Shut up! I'm not done yet! Yes, I was willing to forgive you and did, but after the Russian tournament... I told you how I felt about you and you didn't even feel the same way." tears dwelled in her eyes.
Tala put a hand on her shoulder, Kai did not like that. "Mariah, I'm sorry, but back then I didn't feel the same way." he told her. "Now I do." Mariah looked up at him. There goes my chance. Kai thought sadly, but his face didn't display any emotion.
The pink haired girl looked down and smirked. "All these years... I liked you, loved you, but you pick the time to tell me that you love me too, when I stop." she looked up at him.
"To late, Ravy. I love someone else." everyone looked at her, wanting to know who the person was. Tala already knew. "Who?" Ray asked. Hm... I want to play with their minds a little. the old her was coming back. "Well, I'm not going to tell you, but I'll give you a hint." they all were waiting. "He's inside of this building and he's Russian." that last thing made Kai's heart beat faster, he's Russian!
"Well Mariah, that's not fair. Most of the people in this building are Russian." Tala knows Mariah's game, he's seen her play it plenty of times."He's on this floor of the building. His hair is not blond, green, black, or brown." Kai was about to melt, he didn't like this game. His breathing started to get heavy, his hands began to sweat.
Tala smirked at this. He could feel Kai's uneasiness, but Mariah couldn't, she just wanted to play with Ray. Tala was enjoying himself. I see why Mariah likes this. he thought. "Mariah, how about you level it down a little more. I mean there are a lot of people on this floor and they can't even see them."
"You're right, Tali." she gave him a cute nick name. Kai wondered why she didn't give him a nick name. "He's... in this room." Dun dun dun. That was it Kai couldn't take it. His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He swallowed hard. "That only leaves Kai and Tala." Tyson pointed out. Kai was trying to get his breathing under control.
He was very tense and tempted to slide down the wall he was on. "You do hang around with Tala a whole lot." Max stated. What! Tala, no way. Kai thought angrily. "We have to go now." she said getting up. They walked out the door."Am I good, or am I good?" Tala asked her walking down the hall. "You are the man." Mariah gave him props.
"Look what you did to me. I'm as evil as you now." he said. Back in the cell. Kai was having a melt down. Why am I acting like this? What is wrong with me? he felt a sick felling in his stomach. He finally gave up and slid down the wall. "Hey you guys?" Tyson asked. "What if we have to use the bathroom." he said jump up and down. "I can't hold it."
"Tyson, why didn't you tell Mariah when she was in here!" Max shouted. Tyson was now on the floor trying to hold it. "I didn't have to go then." Kai and Ray payed no mind to him. Their thoughts were on something else or rather someone...
Tyson, in the end, ended up going in his clothes, but somehow managed to fall asleep... on the floor of course. It was now 2:30 a.m. Max slepped on the bed and Ray on the other. Kai couldn't get to sleep. He was having trouble keeping his thought off Mariah. Why do I keep thinking of her? just as he thought that, the cell door began to open.
Kai looked up to see a hooded figure. The person closed the door. Taking off the hood, the person aproched the cell. "Mariah..." Kai trailed off. She just stood there and stared at him. "What!" he demamded. His voice bounced off the walls. She knelt down to his eye level. "Go away." he whispered looking down at his lap. "Can't you see you've already caused enough damage?" he looked at her straight in the eyes.
She just stared at him. "This game is getting old, Mariah." he told her. They were only a foot apart.The cell bars were the only things that separated them."Go back to Boris or something, he might want you to help him do another kidnapping." Mariah just stared with a blank face. "Would you stop that!" he yelled. His echo was heard about five times.
In Voltaire office. "Master Voltaire is everything in place?" Boris asked. "Yes." he answered. "Did you check on the girl?" Voltaire twirled his pen between his fingures. "Yes, she in the Bladebreaker's cell." Boris smirked. "It seems she has a liking for Kai." (A/N:I took the longest trying to make that sentence sound right, but it still doesn't.) his smirk got bigger. "Yes, and we're going to use that to our advantage." Once again evil, maniacal laughter.
Back with Kai and Mariah. The pinkette still refused to talk. The moon made her eyes shine in the darkness. Kai thought she looked beautiful. The way the moonlight spilled over her. He thought she looked more beautiful nowthan in daylight. "Isn't Tala lonly all by hisself." Mariah stared into his eyes.
"I mean you and him are lovers, right?" Mariah looked away from him. I knew it. Kai thought sadly. The pink haired girl got up. "Nice talking to you." Kai said in an irritated tone. She opened the door. Just before stepping out, her back still turned to him, she calmly said, "Tala's not the one I love."
With that, she walked out, leaving a very confused Kai. What? Does that mean she... likes me. Kai's heart began to pound harder all over again. He bit his lip. She loves me?
Oh, yeah! I'm done. Kai was basically confused this whole chapter. And yeah, I know Tala was acting ooc, but he hangs with Mariah a lot. Reveiw and tell me what you think.
