Ugh................what should I say? Oh right! I don't much like OC's..... I only have 3 in this story but they don't have major roles...hey I needed evil characters.... and I couldn't exactly use grandpa!....oooo that's a good idea!, no offence to anyone with OC's....
This chappy is dedicated to all couples out there! Mainly Kathleen and Curtis! I don't have a bf so I can't dedicate it to myself....oh well here we go!
PS- DON'T FLAME ME!!!!! I've repeatedly asked for no flames and I still receive them, so again, don't flame me! If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it! I've worked really hard on my fic, spending my free time on it, and if it's boring, OH WELL! All that matters is that I'm proud of it; I put it up here so other people may read it. If I have one boring chapter, just so you know. One chapter leads into the next and so on. If I didn't have that chapter, then my fic wouldn't make any sense! Again I'm sorry that people who aren't flaming me have to read this. Thank you.
Mariah's P.O.V
The crowd screamed as I walked up to the dish with Kai. He stood beside me, calmer than I had ever seen him. The events that had unfolded prior to this battle were beginning to affect my mood. I forced a smile and waved at the people watching us.
"Look Alex! It's KAI!!!!!!!!!!" yelled a boy with brown hair, no older than 6. The girl's jaw dropped as she gazed at Kai.
"Wow....." she muttered, her red-orange hair falling in her face. I watched Kai grin slightly at the little girl, almost causing her to faint. I snickered as we all pulled out our blades and waited for the announcer.
"Three, two, one, LET IT RIP!!!" he yelled, starting the battle. All four of us launched our blades into the dish. Galix spun in the middle while Kai's Dranzer circled the outside.
"All right…. Let's get this battle started!" yelled the girl I've come to know as 'Alex'. Her red blade charged at mine and hit with full force. Unfortunately, she didn't make a dent and Galix sent her flying backward.
"W…What!?" she exclaimed as her blade bashed into mine several more times, with no luck. Her eyes watered up at her failure.
"JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!" she yelled at her brother, who was all to absorbed in trying to catch Kai.
"What? Help you?! You help ME!!!!! I can catch this damn idol of yours!" he yelled back. Kai smirked. He was right; the boy hadn't had a hit on him yet. I watched the girl begin to cry.
"But….But mommy told you that you had to help me!" she whimpered. The two siblings fought and Kai looked at me.
"Ready?" he asked. I smiled and gave him the thumbs up.
"Ready!" I replied.
"Dranzer/Galix, ATTACK!" we yelled in unison as our blades sprung foreword towards the siblings and, faster than a blink of an eye, their blades landed outside of the dish in front of their feet.
"We…we lost…..IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!!!!! Hey…where'd you go?" asked John looking for his sister. She was standing in front of Kai, who had retrieved his blade, holding out a piece of paper and a pen.
"Uh…..May I have your autograph?" she asked in a barley audible voice. Kai probably did this all the time, so I retrieved Galix from the dish and pranced over. Kai watched me the whole time. Did he even know what he was doing? I took the pen and paper from the little girl and handed it to Kai.
"Uh… right…." He said and took the paper, maintaining his 'bad-boy' attitude and signed it. The girl took the paper back and pranced over to her brother, waving her prize. The crowd cheered as we walked out of the stadium and down the hall.
"That was fun! Those kids are cute!" I said. Kai didn't respond. I tilted my head slightly and looked at him. He seemed like he had something on his mind.
"Okay, what's wrong?!" I asked as we got into the car that would drive us to Kai's mansion.
"Nothing…." He replied and said nothing else the whole way there.
Kai's P.O.V
She finally gave up and sat on the carpet in my room. I stood and watched her polish her blade while busy thoughts ran through my head. I maintained my blank face as I though of what would come next for me. Would Rei and I still be friends? What about Mariah? Sure, I had feelings for her… but were they real? I sat on the edge of my bed and looked out my window. Night had set in faster then I had first thought, but I knew that the Bey battles would continue well into the night. I looked at Mariah, who now had her arms crossed on top of my legs and was gazing up at me. Her eyes, they were unique. Her golden, slit eyes. I placed my hand on her cheek and she blushed a light pink. I stood up as she clutched to my chest. Only now had I realized I was taller than her. I should pay more attention from now on.
Mariah's P.O.V
I clung to his blue shirt and pressed my forehead against his chest. I was in love and I didn't care! I wasn't going to let this one go, I was happy. I looked up at him again. His face was softer than I was used to. But his eyes were still cold. He turned me around and laid me on his bed. He climbed on top of me, being careful not to squish me.
"Ya tebya lublyu" he whispered into my ear. It must have been Russian. I smiled and rubbed my cheek against his.
"What does it mean?" I asked. He must have expected it, for he replied right away.
"I love you…." He said and gazed into my eyes once more. My heart beat faster than it ever had before. Was Kai expressing feelings for me? Duh, of course! I smiled as he lent closer to me. His lips were cold as they pressed against mine, so cold. I ran one of my hands through his blue hair as the kiss deepened. His tongue began to explore my mouth and mine his, sending shivers down my spine. This was all new for me, and I was glad he was the one who was giving me my first kiss. I didn't want it to end, but unless we could survive without air, it had too. He rolled off me and lay beside me, obviously surprised with himself. I giggled slightly, rolled over and lay on his chest. He looked down at me and smiled. I giggled once more.
"I love you too, Kai."
Kai's P.O.V
We lay silent for awhile. Her body was so warm against mine. Her breathing steadied as I carefully placed her beside me. I covered her with my large blanket before I got up and started for the door. I looked back at my sleeping princess. She would be the one to break my icy heart, finally. I crept out of my room, careful not to wake her, and walked to the main room. I stepped into the massive room, decorated with real flowers and soft furniture. This was my mother's favorite room. Mainly because she would always find me playing in here. Father never liked this room, so it was our 'special place.' I found myself gazing at a large painting of my mother. A tear ran down my cheek as I thought of our last moments together. Did I still believe she was alive? Yes. Yes I did.
"Kai?! Thank god I found you!" exclaimed Kenny.
"What!?" I snapped. Kenny went silent. I wiped the tear off my cheek and turned around.
"What?" I said more calmly. Kenny was still shocked.
"Ummm….Oh right! Max has disappeared!" he said. I raised an eyebrow. Wasn't he scheduled to face Tyson and Hilary? It wasn't like him to just run away from a battle. I shoved past Kenny, trying to find out some more information.
"Kai! Wait!" he yelled and ran after me.
"Yuji showed up right?" I asked him. He nodded. Then why hadn't Max? This was all so confusing. Where was I going to go? I broke into a run and Kenny continued to follow.
"Kai! Kai wait up where are you going?!" he yelled
"Kai! Kai wait up where are you going?!" he yelled. I stopped in front of a door. My door. If Max was gone, then what were the chances of Mariah being gone also? I shook my head and shoved open the door.
"Mariah?....." I spoke her name as I entered the room. It was cold. The curtains flapped with the breeze from my open window. I hadn't remembered doing that. I looked over to my bed. Empty. I ruffled through the sheets. Still nothing. She was gone. How could this have happened?! It was all my fault.
"Where are the others?" I asked Kenny. No reply. I turned around and sure enough, he was gone too. I stood alone in my cold room.
It was my fault.
