Chapter 11

I woke up in the morning not on the sofa where I had fallen asleep, but in a bed. I rolled over and saw Ray sleeping next to me with his arm splayed across my waist. I smiled slyly and leaned forward and kissed him. He seemed to kiss back quickly and grabbed my hips tightly bringing me forward. I squeaked slightly in surprise and smiled. He growled in his throat and my eyes widened. I pulled back and he whimpered.

"Ray I know you awake now," I said flatly with the moment ruined

"How did you know?" he said with his eyes closed "I was having fun,"

"We're not having sex in Tyson's house with him next door, it's unconventional," I said bluntly, he sighed and shook his head and rolled onto his back.

"Shame really," he said my mouth fell open and stared at him then punched his arm lightly. He laughed when there was a knock on the door. In walked Kai looking slightly pissed.

"Uhum…..Kai?" I asked

"Hilary sent me to wake you two up," he said flatly

"Yes, fine, but what happens if we were having wild sex," I said

"You weren't," he said

"But you never know," added Ray smirking

"You two won't do it in Tyson's dojo, its 'unromantic' here," he said darkly before turning and striding out. After he left we burst out laughing. I rolled over on my back then onto the floor with a 'thump'.

"Owww!" I cried rubbing my back furiously and glaring at Ray who had sprawled himself across the bed laughing. I soon stopped and smiled and stood dusting myself off. I walked over to the cupboard and took out a pair of baggy jeans. As I was about to take the hanger out a tanned hand reached across and stopped me.

"Wear something new today," whispered Ray in my ear making me shiver slightly "I want to see you in it," he added, I sighed and changed my hand direction to the skinny jeans I had tried on yesterday. "Better," he said. I nodded then pulled out a white strappy top. The straps were made out of what looked like lace with the kanji for 'black' on it in the centre. It wasn't one of the large logos but was small and stood out. Ray smiled as I took out the red converse as well and a thick, big red and black stripy belt.

"Happy now," I asked making my tone higher at the end in question. He nodded and stalked off to the bathroom. Ray disappeared over to the closet to get his own things and change quickly. I stood in front of the mirror after I had changed and smiled weakly. In my eyes I'm still a traitor…….I thought sadly before shaking my head,

"Must think of what Kai said," I said determined and fake confidence. I sighed sadly and walked out. Ray was lying on the bed fiddling with Driger carefully and looked up.

"Finally your out," he said "I am not paper trained you know," he said laughing, I joined him and held the door open while he sprinted into the bathroom. I chuckled lightly as I walked over and strapped on Vertigo and my Ipod.

"Coming?" asked Ray walking to the door. I nodded and he grabbed my hand and walked out. When we arrived in the living room I saw many of the other teams assembled there. Half were sleeping on the couches or more the PPB All Starz and half the Majestic's, Mr D, Grampa G, Judy and Max's Dad talking in the corner by the table and the sounds of beyblades outside.

"What's going on?" I asked Ray surprised and looking at him, he laughed at my facial expression and nodded.

"That's a secret, but your new clothes have something to do with it," he said

"Thea!" shouted Kai stalking inside holding a newspaper

"Yes Kai," I said in a tiny voice

"What is this," he said pointing to a picture of me free falling from the rail with my board in hand

"Me,"

"Doing what?"

"Running from reporters,"

"No," he said angrily

"Getting into trouble?" I asked hopefully

"Yes," he said flatly,

"I know but I didn't want to face them," I stammered

"Aw come on Kai give her a break," said Lee coming over with Mariah

"Mariah!" I cheered smiling and hugging my friend

"It's good to see you," she replied smiling and hugging me back,

"I know I still want to know why you guys are here," I said curiously "Not in a bad way but curious,"

"I can't tell you," she said laughing, I smiled and nodded sharply.

"Who else is here?" I asked

"Everyone from the tournament," she said quietly

"Oh," I mouthed and nodded "Can I go?" I whispered to Ray

"No," he said flatly "No one will say anything, well maybe Rick but not the others, but Ricks just Rick," said Ray quietly, I nodded and walked through the house to Mr D. He was still talking to the other adults but turned round soon.

"Yes Thea?" he said "How are you?"

"Oh I'm fine, I'm getting better, I just wanted to apologise for the disruption at the tournament, I understand the BBA lots a lot of money in it. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help?" I asked curiously

"No it is perfectly fine, the BBA has recognised what was happening with Boris and is happy that it was able to help, no payment is necessary Thea," he said smiling

"Thanks Mr D," I said bowing slightly before going off to find the others battling in the garden. I sat down by Kenny, Emily and Miguel all around Dizzy.

"Hey Thea, how are you now?" asked Emily looking up and smiling

"I'm better thanks, sorry about the cancellation of the tournament guys," I said sheepishly

"Its fine," said Miguel

"What are you guys doing?" I asked "With everyone's beyblades?" I asked

"Tune up time!" called Dizzy

"That's cool, thanks Diz," I said smiling at the laptop

"Your welcome Thea, see Chief someone does say thanks!" she said "And you never say it,"

"You're my bit beast," said Kenny

"I'm in you laptop!" cried Dizzy

"Exactly," he retorted I stood and shuffled off before getting involved with this argument. I went to go watch Max play against Oliver and watched the different style.

"Go Draciel!" shouted Max

"Attack Unicolyon!" repeated Oliver, I clapped my hands together at the end when it ended in a draw, and they shook hands and battled again. I stood and sat down by the pond silently.

"I see your still here," said a voice spitefully, I turned and saw Rick standing there

"Have you been waiting to get me alone?" I asked turning back to the pond

"So what if I have, it's only to say you're still a traitor to everyone," he said rudely

"I don't need you telling me that," I said still not looking at him "In my eyes I'm still a traitor," I added looking at him

"Then why are you still here?" he asked venomously

"I don't know," I said

"Because we still want her here," said Tyson walking over and standing in front of Rick reaching eye level and glaring at him.

"Face it Rick you've lost," said Ray tugging me into a kiss right in front of everyone who was looking. I blushed furiously and kissed back a bit. As he pulled away Hilary and the rest of the girls were smiling and giggling while the guys were shocked. Even after years of being together they still weren't used to it. I smiled and glared at Rick.

"That's why I'm here," I said "And if you don't face the facts, your weak," I said just as venomously

"Put you blade where you mouth is," he shouted

"Is that a challenge?" I asked "Your on," I said determined, I stood the other side and just as we were going to start he said something.

"You can change your clothes and face but you can't change yourself," he said darkly just as we launched out blades. This toppled my blade weakly into the dish and spun weakly as well.

"What the hell is that Thea?" shouted Kai

"Shut up!" I shouted angrily turning and glaring at him, "I don't need anything special to beat you!" I shouted again he laughed at me then down at the dish. As I went in for the attack two new blades entered the dish and knocked Rick out.

"Hey!" shouted Rick, I gasped and backed away staring in horror at the blades. I backed away and tripped over. They were black and white. It was them.
