Hey! This is Chapter Six. W00t! So. Yeah. I have never stayed with a beyblade story this long so yay for me! I'm just gonna kind of skip through all of the final beybattles. And I'm going to pretend that they were all in one day. Okay so here we go.
The Asian Tournament finals.
The alarm was blaring, daring anyone to still sleep. Rayne moaned as she turned it off. The alarm had waken all of the boys up, except Tyson. Rayne rolled her eyes as she went to the kitchen to get a bucket of water to dump on Tyson. When she got back to the room she noticed that Tyson was already awake. "Aww," she said, "I was really, really, really looking forward to drowning you in your sleep!"
"Well, too bad for you because I'm ready to go and have one wicked beybattle!" Tyson replied. Everyone rolled their eyes at Tyson and Rayne started to leave to go wake up the other teams.
"Hey, where are you going?" Max asked.
"To wake up the other teams of course!" Rayne replied as she walked out of the room. While she was gone the boys got ready and left for the tournament. When Rayne got back she noticed that the boys had cleaned up after themselves. 'What a relief,' she thought. 'This is one room that I don't have to clean up!' Rayne smiled in gratitude and got ready.
"Alright," she said to herself, "off I go." She took her cleaning supplies and headed for a room. When she got there she realized that it was already clean, immaculate even. Then she realized that it was the White Tigers' room. "Thank you guys so much!" She said while looking up as if she were talking to God. She left that room and went on to another room. "Oh my God!" Rayne said as she walked in the room. It was the messiest room that she had ever seen in her entire life. She gaged at the smell that was in the room. 'Why me?' she thought out loud to herself. 'What did I do to deserve this?!' Rayne started to clean the room and it took her what seemed like forever. When she was done she moved onto the next room, which was almost worse and proceeded to clean it. After she was done she realized that she had eight teams to clean up after. She groaned at the prospect of having to clean up four more rooms, but she did it anyway, and they were quite clean, surprisingly.
Rayne got back to the room and decided that she was in need of a serious shower and this time she brought her clothes into the bathroom just in case the boys came home while she was in the shower. Rayne was mid washing her hair when she started to think about what happened to Mara. 'Why do I keep having these dreams where I get pulled out of the rubble? Is it just my imagination, or am I trying to tell myself something? Mara, are you really dead?' Rayne groaned in frustration as she rinsed out her hair and picked up the soap. 'If you really did die then is it wishful thinking? What if you're still alive? Would you still be at the abbey? You must be if Kai doesn't even remember you existing...Kai." Rayne rinsed herself off and got out of the shower. As she reached for her towel she continued on her thinking spree. 'Why did Kai forget? How COULD he forget? How could one forget their own sibling?' Rayne finished drying herself off and put on her clothes. She was lost in thought as she walked into the kitchen and started making herself tea not realizing that the boys were back.
"WHY?!" She yelled out in frustration as she got down her cup.
"Why what?" Kenny asked rather concerned.
"Oh...you guys are back..." Rayne said a little startled. "It's nothing...I was just trying to figure out this riddle that Robert told me before I left and I could never figure it out..." Rayne lied trying to change the subject.
"Oh, what was the riddle?" Ray asked in a joyous tone.
"You got Drigger back I am assuming," Rayne asked Ray.
"Yes I did but don't change the subject," Ray replied.
"Oh...fine. It was 'a man lives on the 12th floor of an apartment building. Every morning he wakes up, gets ready, goes to the elevator presses the ground floor button, gets off the elevator and goes to work. When he comes home he gets into the elevator presses the 6th floor button, and walks the rest of the way to the 12th floor. Why does he only go to the 6th floor on the elevator?"
"Oh, I heard this one," Max said, "It's because he's a midget and can only reach the 6th floor button."
"Ooooh, thank you Max!" Rayne said noticing that the kettle was boiling. "So Ray, tell me how you got Drigger back, I'm quite curious because everyone that I know who had lost their bit-beast never got theirs back." Ray went on about how when he was battling he showed concentration so Drigger came back.
"So how did your day go?" Tyson asked as Rayne sat down with her tea.
"Horrible. After I got you guys up I had to go wake up all of the other teams, which was hell, and then I had to clean up after them, and would you believe it there are people out there messier than you guys! Then I had to organize everything. Then I ate and took a shower and waited here for you guys, which was trés boring."
"Trés?" Tyson asked.
"French for 'very'," Rayne replied. "I am so incredibly exhausted! Who knew cleaning would take so much out of you? Why would Mr. Dickinson make me miss the finals for this?!"
"Not our fault you stayed out to late," Kai said as he turned to face her. Rayne looked up at him and made a face. "Don't be such a baby, you knew that you shouldn't have stayed out that late, and you also knew that Mr. Dickinson would've had a cow."
"I am not a baby Kai! If anything, you're the baby! Always keeping to yourself, never letting anybody in," Rayne yelled at him as he walked away. "You guys, I think that I'm gonna go have a nap."
"Okay, good night!" Tyson told her. Rayne went into the room and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
"You guys. What are we going to do?" Kenny said.
"About what Chief?" Max and Dizzy asked in unison.
Kenny paused for a second and then said, "If Rayne and Kai keep fighting like this what are we going to do?"
"What do you mean?" Tyson asked.
"What Chief is trying to say is if Kai and Rayne keep fighting, one of them might leave," Dizzy said.
"That wouldn't be very good," Ray said.
"Well, if Kai leaves that's would be bad...but what would happen if Rayne left?" Max asked.
"Mr. Dickinson brought Rayne here for a reason, we've all seen her blade and I have a hunch that that isn't even the tip of the iceberg. We can learn a lot from Rayne and if she left we might miss out on a lot of things," Kenny replied.
"Well, what is our game plan then?" Tyson asked deep in thought.
"Well...keep them from fighting I suppose," Max said answering his question.
"How are we going to do that?" Ray asked and everyone went silent.
"I guess we're just going to have to keep them at a fair distance from each other, that way they wont fight."
They all nodded their heads. Then they started to talk about their game plan for the next day. If they won then they'd face the White Tigers.
Kai was walking by himself down a small winding path that seemed to lead to nowhere. He kept thinking about Rayne and what she had said last night while assuming he was asleep. 'Or did she assume I was sleeping? She must have. Even if she did feel that way, why would she say it if she didn't know how I felt about her?' Love was a new concept for Kai, he was never told by anyone that they loved him. 'What is love? And how would she know if what she was feeling was love?' Kai was slightly frustrated. He had never had to deal with something like this before. 'Do I love her? I can't, I don't even know what love is. Is it just a feeling, or is it more?' Kai kicked a rock and sighed in frustration. 'I like Rayne...sort of, sometimes she can piss me off to no end, but she isn't a bad person. She's easy to get along with. I feel close to her for some reason, I haven't felt that close to anyone before. It's almost like she knows a lot about me that I don't even know...' Kai kept walking down the path. Kai was so lost in thought that he didn't notice how dark it was getting.
Rayne woke up from her nap feeling bad for yelling at Kai because in a sense he was right. It was her fault. She shouldn't have stayed out so late. She got out of bed and went outside to get some fresh air. She saw the boys training for their battle the next day. "Where's Kai?" Rayne asked.
"We don't know, he still hasn't come back yet," Max said.
"I see...well I'm going to go for a-" Rayne stopped because she felt a rain drop on her head. She held out her hand and sure enough, it started raining again. "Maybe you guys should go inside, it's starting to rain."
"Yeah...What about Kai?" Ray asked.
"Don't worry, I'll go look for him." Rayne replied.
"Maybe you should st-" Tyson said, but Rayne just looked at him and he stopped talking. They all went inside and talked about their game plan for the next day, except for Rayne, who just grabbed two jackets and left.
"Where are you Kai?" Rayne said to herself as she reached a fork in the path. "If I were Kai...which way would I go? Hm...right or left...I think I'll go right." Rayne went right and noticed that the trail got smaller and windier. 'Why would Kai go down here?' she wondered. It started to rain really hard and Rayne got worried. "Kai!" She yelled out hoping that he'd hear her and respond. Which he didn't. 'That bastard! Why would he walk off like that?! Doesn't he know that they have to battle tomorrow!' Rayne screamed in frustration. Just when she thought she wouldn't be able to find him she saw a big red light up ahead, which she assumed was Dranzer. She smiled and ran towards it not watching where she was stepping. She was almost there, and then she tripped over a branch and went head first right into Kai, who fell over as well and they rolled down a hill.
"What was that for?" Kai asked slightly irritated. Rayne was winded and she just handed Kai the jacket she brought for him. "I don't need your jacket, I'll be just fine." Kai said as he got up.
"Take it! You'll get sick, it's pouring out Kai! You can't get sick, that wouldn't be very good for the team!" Rayne said as she stuck out the jacket again. Kai sighed and took the jacket because he knew that she would not give up.
"You really are a pain, do you know that?" Kai said as he helped her up.
"Yes I d-OW!" Rayne replied in pain.
"Oh what now?" Kai asked.
"I think I hurt my ankle when I triped, and I can't walk on it." Kai rolled his eyes and picked her up and gave her a piggy back all the way back, stopping to pick up Dranzer of course. "So...why did you come out so far?" Rayne asked trying to break the silence.
Kai just grunted signifying he didn't want to talk about it so Rayne just stayed quiet. 'I wonder what he's thinking,' Rayne thought to herself.
"Hey, uh...Kai?" Rayne said.
"What." Kai replied.
"I'm sorry that I called you a baby. You were right, it was my fault, I shouldn't have stayed out so late and I deserve my punishment."
Kai mumbled a small 'I forgive you' which made Rayne beam. They were quiet again while they journied on their way back to the hotel room. The trip back seemed shorter than the way to...wherever it was they were and Rayne was glad they got there when they did because they were both sufficiently soaked. When they got in they had noticed that everyone went to bed. Kai put Rayne down carefully in order to take his sopping wet jacket off. Rayne took hers off as well and handed it to Kai who hung it up. Kai then helped her to the kitchen where he wraped up her ankle and put some ice on it.
"Thanks," Rayne said meekly. To which Kai nodded in response. Rayne took the ice off her ankle, got up and hobbled to the bedroom to get her pajamas to change into. Then she hobbled to the bathroom to put them on. Kai sighed, went to the bedroom and put on his pajamas and laid on his bed. Rayne came hobbling in soon after, carrying her wet clothes. She took out a chair and hung them up so that they would dry and then laid in her bed trying to fall asleep. She soon fell into a dreamless sleep with Kai watching her.
The next morning, when it was time to get up, Kai rolled over and saw that Rayne was sound asleep. He felt bad that he had to wake her up, but he did anyway. "Why do I have to get up?" Rayne asked drowsily.
"Because you have to go wake everyone else up that's your job remember? You were the one that came back late," Kai told her. Rayne grumbled and got up and ready then her and Kai woke everyone up…except Tyson who wouldn't wake up.
"I don't have time for him, you guys wake him up. I have to go get everyone else up," Rayne said as she hobbled out of the hotel room. When she got back she noticed that Ray and Tyson were still here. "Uhm…does Kai know he's here?" Rayne asked.
"Yep. He protested but Tyson stayed, he wasn't completely awake," Ray replied. "We're going to take the next bus out…which should arrive in 10 minutes."
"Oh. Well I'm going to eat and then clean. Have fun!" So Rayne ate her breakfast and went off to clean.
When she was done she sat down and played solitaire. She was so incredibly bored and her ankle was still a little sore from the night before. Wait…She thought I could watch the beyblade finals on the TV… Rayne turned on the TV only to find that it was over. She sighed and went back to her game and waited for them to come home.
When they came home they were happy because they had won. They were going to face the White Tigers. Everyone was excited, except for Kai because Kai just never gets excited. Obviously the team had some stuff to work out with Kenny so Rayne went outside and launched her beyblade in one of the dishes. I haven't talked to Mariah for a few days. I should go see how she's doing. Rayne thought to herself. She picked up her beyblade and hobbled to Mariah's room; she had a lot to tell her. When she got there Mariah was the only one left.
"Hey!" greeted Mariah.
"Yo. Where is everyone else?" Rayne asked.
"Oh. They went to go get food. Come sit so we can talk," Mariah answered. Rayne went and sat down. "You look a little sad, what's wrong?" Mariah asked.
"Well. I think I'm in love with Kai," came Rayne's reply.
"Wait...that anti-social jerk who doesn't believe in his team?"
"Yes, that anti-social jerk who doesn't believe in his team."
"Huh. Well, does he know?" Mariah asked with intent.
"I have no idea. The other night I said 'I love you' to him, but it was a complete accident and I believe he was asleep."
"I see," Mariah said. She then noticed Rayne's ankle, "What happened?"
"Oh, nothing really, I just fell. It's a long story."
"Well, tell me everything," Mariah said. So Rayne told Mariah everything that had happened the night before and Mariah never interrupted.
"So...do you think he likes me?" Rayne asked when she was finished.
"I don't know...he's an odd guy and I don't know him enough to say anything," Mariah replied. Rayne looked down. They talked for a little while longer and then they realized what time it was so Rayne bid Mariah farewell and left. On her way back Mr. Dickinson called Rayne's cell phone and informed her that she was going back to Germany the next day because Robert wanted her home.
'Huh, so...Robert wants me home...I wonder why...' Rayne asked herself. When she got back she noticed that everyone, except Kai, was sleeping. "Why aren't you sleeping Kai?" Rayne asked.
"Couldn't sleep," he replied. Rayne nodded and sat down across from him. "How's your ankle?" Kai asked.
"Better, it's still a little sore though. How are you?" Rayne asked.
"Fine," Kai replied.
"I see, well I have to go pack up my stuff because apparently I have to leave for Germany really early tomorrow."
"I see well, you should do that then." Rayne nodded, said goodnight and then packed up her stuff and went to bed. That morning she got up, left the guys a note saying that she was going to watch them on the TV and that they better win or else. She then called a cab and left for her plane.
Rayne got to her house at 9:00am and the match didn't start till 11:00am, her time. She ran into the house and saw Robert sitting at the table eating his breakfast, he noticed her right away and stood up, Rayne ran to him and gave him a huge hug, which he returned. Rayne pulled away from him and said, "I missed you Robert! I'm glad I'm home."
"I missed you too Rayne," Robert said as he kissed her on the cheek. "There's a party tonight and me plus a guest is invited. Would you like to come?"
"Wait…before I left you were insanely mean to me, and now you hugged me, told me you missed me, kissed me on the cheek, and invited me to go to a party with you. What's going on?" Rayne asked.
"Nothing. I just realized how empty this house is without you," Robert replied.
"Okay then. I shall go to the party with you." Robert smiled and offered her breakfast. She gladly took up the offer. They told each other everything that had happened since, and apparently Johnny had a new girlfriend. Rayne giggled a little bit and then she told him about Kai. Robert didn't quite understand because he didn't know about what happened at the abbey so Rayne decided that she'd fill him in on that too. Robert was quiet for a minute and apologized to Rayne.
"Robert?"
"Yes, Rayne?"
"What time is it?"
"11:00," Robert said.
"We need to watch the Asian tournament," Rayne said. Robert nodded and turned on the TV.
The first round was Gary Vs. Max; which Gary won. The second round was Ray Vs. Mariah; which Ray won. The last round was Tyson Vs. Lee; which ended in a tie so Lee and Ray had a battle and Ray won. Rayne jumped up and down excitedly and threw herself on Robert who looked a little sad.
"What's wrong Robert?" Rayne asked.
"Nothing. It's just I want you to stay with me and not go away. It gets so lonely without you," Robert replied. "I love you Rayne, you're my little sister!"
"I love you too Robert but they need me and I promised them I'd go. If you get so lonely why don't you have Oliver, Enrique, or Johnny over?" Robert nodded and gave her another hug, "Well, you're coming to the party tonight and then you have another day before you have to leave?"
"Yes. Maybe that day that I'm still here, we have all the guys come over," Rayne suggested.
"Well, they're all going to be at the party tonight, and I just want to spend the day with you before you leave."
"Okay, it'll be good to see everyone again."
Well there's chapter six for you! W00t! anyway. Yeah so R&R thanx! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
