Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade or any of its characters

AN: really struggled with this chapter since all the restrictions have been put up on here about MA content but hope its turned out alright, thinking of wrapping this up in a few more chapters and maybe doing a sequel set in G-Rev let me know what you think ?

In the helicopter all Kai could think about was how team Psychic would pay for what they did to Wyatt, Raven and everything else was forgotten. Truth be told he'd felt awkward about ignoring her, but he was scared that all this he felt for her would disappear after they'd won this match. He'd never felt anything like this before and it scared him, he preferred being alone but since he'd met her he found her presence comforting.

Raven lay down in the sun; she closed her eyes and felt the warmth of its rays on her skin. She'd changed into black denim shorts and a black singlet top. Black had always been her favourite colour, a gentle breeze was blowing and Raven could hear the trees rustling, she wondered how the bladebreakers were doing, they'd been gone hours now. Suddenly she heard footsteps, a lot of footsteps "are you awake Raven?" Hillary asked, Raven bolted upright and saw smiles plastered all over the guys faces "you won! You did it!" she wanted to cry "Thank you Kai, for keeping your promise" he didn't look at her "you're welcome, don't forget I didn't like what they did to Wyatt anymore than you did".

Hillary and Kenny organised a celebration party for them all, and just like the last two days Kai ignored Raven, when all of them were sleeping Raven packed her things quietly "Raven… what's going on?" Hillary whispered, raven turned to look at her, Hillary was lay in her bed watching raven "I'm leaving Hillary, I can't stay here anymore. I'm going to the crescent hotel" she whispered back. Hillary got up and tiptoed over to her "is this because of Kai? Because of how he's been with you lately? I've noticed it too… that he's been acting odd since you guys came back" Raven smiled, the girl wasn't as ditzy as she made out she was, "yes, but I don't want to talk about it, I just feel it's better if I go, don't worry I'll be fine" there was nothing Hillary say to change her mind. As Hillary lay back in her bed Raven closed the door behind her and walked out into the night towards the main part of town.

Kai was the first one up as usual, on his way out to start his training he noticed Raven wasn't in her bed 'maybe she couldn't sleep' he thought, as he walked around the garden looking for her it became obvious to him that she wasn't there and when he went back inside to look for her he noticed all her things were gone too. As the rest of the bladebreakers woke up they started to worry, where could she have gone? And why? But Hillary shocked them all "Raven left last night" she said so matter of fact like, "why didn't you stop her?" Tyson asked "I tried, but she didn't feel that she could stay here, she said not to worry about her, she knows what she's doing" it took Hillary all morning to convince the guys to just let it go and let Raven be, but Kai knew, he knew it was his fault. His feelings for her hadn't faded after he beat Goki, even after the bladebreakers had all won he still felt the same, but he'd hesitated in telling her. He didn't want the others to know just yet and now… now it had cost him big time, because now she was gone. All afternoon Kai's game had been off, he'd left to go and look for her, he tried the bench where they first met, the beach, the riverside, everywhere he could think of but when night fell he gave up and went back. The others were all asleep, except Hillary that was... "You looked for her?" she asked him, her tone was cold; it was so unlike her "she won't be found so easily" she said. Kai looked at her "Do you know?" he said, Hillary looked at him so coolly "do you mean why she left? Or where she went?" he thought for a moment "Both" he hoped she didn't know the answer to the first one "yes, because you've hurt her, I'm not blind Kai, you acted differently to her since you guys came back, and she wouldn't tell me what happened, but I know something went on." He waited for her to tell him where raven was, but Hillary remained silent "where is she?" he asked "why do you want to know?" he was getting tired of this, he wanted to find her, to tell her he was sorry, he knew what she was to him now, he wanted to taste her lips and run his fingers through her hair "I need to see her, I…. I need to tell her something" Hillary looked at the floor "will it hurt her more?" she whispered. "No". she handed him a piece of paper "she's here" he looked at it and ran out of the dojo and into town as fast as he could.

As he entered the crescent Hotel Kai was conscious of how hard he was breathing, he hadn't stopped running until he'd gotten there. He walked up to the reception desk "can you tell me what room Raven Smith-Wright is in?" he asked "I'm sorry sir I..." "she's expecting me" Kai cut the man off before he could finish his original statement "In that case I'll need to phone up" he replied "look, it's her birthday, and I'm actually surprising her" the receptionist hesitated and Kai crossed his fingers 'please work' he thought "I suppose… she's in room….116" he said, Kai thanked him and walked over to the stairs, this was it, his last chance, as he got closer to her room he felt his stomach tie in a knot with nerves. He stared at the door number in front of him 116, he knocked and waited, he heard footsteps on the other side and the door opened slowly. Raven peered round, her eyes were red and puffy again "what…how…" "Hillary" he said, she opened the door enough to let him in and closed it behind her. When he turned to face her she was wearing a red silk nightie that barely covered her bottom, it made it very hard for him to concentrate.

Raven was losing her patience, Kai just stood there staring at her, "Are you going to tell me what you came here for? I don't have all night" he shook his head and looked past her "I… I came to say…. I'm a major idiot. I... I was so scared that... After I kept my promise, that whatever it is between us…that it would disappear, so… so I kept my distance and I'm sorry" she wasn't impressed, ok he'd apologised, but that didn't mean she wasn't still hurting. She walked past him and he grabbed her arm "you once asked me what we are, well I have your answer" he pulled her closer, so close it was almost painful for her bruised stomach, she waited for him to carry on but instead he ran his fingers over her lips "close your eyes" he whispered, she did as he said and she felt his lips on hers, he kept one hand firmly on her back.

He couldn't resist her anymore, Kai pushed Raven backwards onto the bed and leaned over her, she really was beautiful, those deep grey eyes, her long black hair fanned out behind her, her rose coloured lips…
