Chapter Nineteen:

Ray and Kai arrived at the park a few hours later and decided to get this rematch started right away. As they both got their blades out and ready to go they were suddenly interrupted by a group of voices coming towards their location.

"Hey!! Kai!! Ray!! Wait for us we want to see who will win this battle too!!"

Kai cringed at the high volume of his teammates voice and glared at him, as they got closer. Ray saw the cringe and felt sorry for his boyfriend he to thought that Tyson was annoying but when it came to beyblading he was like a total different person, which Ray and Kai seemed to like better because he was a whole lot less annoying.

"……For the love of sanity will you turn your voice volume down or at least turn it on mute…gees…"

"Oh come on Kai I'm just didn't want to miss the battle is all no need to get mad about it."

Tyson said as he walked up to his team captain and patted him on the back smiling his goofy smile the whole while. Max and Chi sighed and just shook their heads at the blue haired boy. Ray on the other hand just chuckled softly watching the whole moment play out in front of him.

"Will you get away from me so I can start this battle already?"

"Ok, Ok, Kai gees you really need to lighten up a bit."

"I would if you would stop acting like such a accommodating buffoon and just shut up for once."

Kai spoke threw grinded teeth as he glared darkly at the boy in front of him that was blocking his way to the dish making him even more upset. Chi decided to try and help out his captain out so they could get this battle started.

"Tyson why don't you come over here so Kai and Ray can get started so I can also collect data for future battle practice."

"Yea Tyson let's let them battle it out I am as excited as you to see who will win, now come over here and sit with me and relax ok."

Tyson looked over at Max as the blonde was patting the space next him waiting for him come and sit smiling the whole time. Tyson's mouth slowly formed a small sweet smile at the blonde, his eyes showing all the feelings he had for the blonde. Max noticed the look in Tyson's eyes and he had a small blush on his face but smiled sweetly back at the blue haired boy his eyes showing all the feelings he also had for the blue haired boy.

"Alright but do your best Kai we are rooting for you ok."

Tyson then turned to where Max and Chi were sitting and gladly took the sit next to the still blushing blonde still smiling. Tyson smiled back as he then slowly took Max's hand into his and held it tightly. This action made Max blush a deeper shade of red but he also held Tyson's hand tightly in response to the earlier display of affection.

Ray saw the whole scene and smiled softly at the two other boys that were Kai's teammates. He was happy for them and hoped they would soon be as happy as he and Kai were with there relationship. Even though their relationship had some rough points and had their fare share of arguments, but hey what relationship didn't right? (Which is true for a lot of people that have relationships, those of you out there that are in one you know what I mean by this statement…..anyway….sorry about that on with the story.)

"Ok now that is over and done with why don't we get this battle started huh Ray?"

"Yea I can't wait to show you how much I improved and beat you."

"Hn…..like I said before we will see if you can."

With that being said both boys put their blades in position and were about to launch when another voice called out to them. This made Kai even more upset as he growled low in his throat and turned glaring eyes towards to the two figures heading their way waving at them trying to get their attention.

"Ray!!"

Miguel yelled as he ran up to the group all smiles and stopped in front of Ray a little out of breath but still smiling. Ray was a little surprised at the boy in front of him but that soon turned to a smile when he also noticed another figure coming up to him also.

"Lee? What are you and Miguel doing here?"

Ray asked as he was confused but still kept the smile on his face all the while. Lee smiled back hugged his best friend and turned his attention to his boyfriend that was now looking towards Kai who had a really upset look on his face which made Miguel shiver with fear.

"Is there something wrong with your boy toy Ray-kun?"

"MIGUEL!!"

Lee yelled as he glared at his boyfriend as he grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to his side so not to let him go near the now fuming gray haired balder who started to walk towards the two boys that now yet again disturbed their battle.

"What did you call me blonde boy?"

Kai spoke with so much hatred in his voice that he made Miguel press even further into his lover's side with his eyes as wide as dinner plates. Lee tightened his hold on his lover and stood his ground glaring back at the fuming boy that was glaring at them.

"He didn't mean to call you that Kai its just the way he is he likes to mess around with other couples that he knows that's all."

Lee said as he put his body in front of the quivering body next to him. Kai was a little surprised at the way Lee was glaring back at him as he stood in front of his boyfriend. Ray watched this all and decided that he had stayed quiet long enough.

"Kai….please its ok……Miguel didn't mean anything by the name like Lee has told you, and judging from how he is frighten of you I believe that he is sorry about it and promises not to call you that again right Miguel?"

Ray finished as he turned his attention back to the boy who was hiding behind Lee and was now peeking over Lee's shoulder at Ray. He then turned his head to look at Kai who was still glaring at them, he shuddered slightly but still nodded his head telling Kai that he did mean that he was sorry for insulting him.

"See Kai he says he is sorry about it so why don't we put all this behind us and start this battle huh what do you say?"

Kai looked at the other couple in front of him then turned his attention back to his boyfriend who had a bright smile on his face. They stared at each other for a few minutes, Kai looking into his lover's eyes for any sign of lies or jokes. With not be able to see none he then slowly closed his eyes and signed slowly and smirked back at Ray, who smiled even bigger at the way his boyfriend was handling the situation.

"Alright but can we PLEASE get on with this battle I growing incredibly inpatient with all these interruptions."

With that being said Kai turned around and headed back over to his position at the dish waiting for his lover to do the same. Ray smiled once more at Kai and turned back to Lee who was softly comforting his still shaken up boyfriend. Ray felt sorry for him so he walked up to them and placed a soft hand on Miguel's shoulder getting the young couples attention.

"Lee, Miguel I am so sorry about the way Kai acted towards you two, he was just upset about the battle we were about to have be interrupted a second time."

"…..It's ok Ray……Miguel showed Kai he was sorry and Kai accepted the apology that is all that matters to me."

Lee finished as he smiled at his friend and pulled Miguel closer to him whispering sweet nothings into his ear slowly calming him down. Ray saw this and couldn't stop the soft smile that graced his lips at the sight.

"Well why don't you guys go and sit with the others so we can finally get the battle started."

Ray then pointed at the other group of people who were watching the whole scene who then smiled at the young couple. Lee was surprised at seeing them even though he knew who they were. But nonetheless he smiled back at them and started walking towards them and taking a sit next to Max and Tyson who still held their hands together. Ray made sure that his best friend and his boyfriend were comfortable, which to his surprise they were well except Miguel who was still a little nervous around all the new people. But Lee soon changed that as he introduced his boyfriend to the others who all said hi to the young blonde who accepted all the greetings and smiled at them, slowly getting comfortable with them but since Lee was with him it wasn't long before the whole group was talking amongst themselves like they knew each other for years.

"Ok now let's get this battle underway ready Kai?"

"Hn, whenever you are ready sweetheart."

"3, 2, 1, LET IT RIP!!"

As they finished counting down they released their blades into the dish, which made the blades hit and the sparks started to fly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"ALRIGHT!! GO KAI YOU CAN DO IT!!"

"COME RAY KEEP CONCENTRATING YOU ALMOST HAVE HIM!!

"YEA YOU GO RAY KICK HIS BUTT!!

The group of onlookers kept cheering the whole time the battle was progressing. The battle was long and still had no winner in sight yet.

"DRANZER!! FLAMMING WING ATTCK NOW!!

Kai yelled as his blade started turning a bright red and its speed increasing and still climbing. Ray saw this and decided to stop playing around and get serious. As Kai's blade was coming in for the final blow Ray's blade moved out of the way and jumped into the air and started spinning around in the air making a sudden funnel appear basically swallowing up Kai's blade along with the dish and its bladders. Making it almost impossible to see inside.

"Well, Well, it seems you have improved a lot since the last time we battled I'm impressed."

"Hn…I thought you might be which makes me think I can still win this battle with the help of this…….."

Ray smirked at his lover as he concentrated all his strength in this last move. He closed his eyes trying to find the center of the energy source for his blade and after a few minutes he finally found it. He then opened his eyes locking them on the man across from him the smirk on his face getting wider as he then went in for the kill.

"This is it Kai are you ready? NOW DRIGGER FLYING CLAW SLASH ATTACK NOW!!"

As soon as the words left his lips his blade started to glow a bright green. Then the blade came down in a twirling vortex to make direct contact with the blue blade that tried to move but was to late. As the blades made contact there was a sudden big boom that slightly shook the ground. After that the funnel that was around them finally slowed down and disappeared into the sky there was only blade spinning. The only blade spinning was a white and green with yellow blades, which belonged to Ray.

"…….I can't……I can't believe it I actually won….."

Ray spoke softly as he looked at his blade then to the one that wasn't spinning but was sitting on its side. Ray then went to look at his boyfriend but before he could even look at him he was basically tackled to the ground by Miguel and everyone around them came up and started to congratulate him on his victory but all the while he kept looking for his lover but for some reason he couldn't see him threw the group that was around him. Meanwhile as Ray was being congratulated Kai smiled at his boyfriend sincerely happy that he accomplished his goal.

"Hn……well kid looks like you beat me and its also looks like that you are indeed in my league well I congratulate you on a job well done….."

Kai finished as he took one more glance at his lover and his friends then he grabbed his blade turned and walked out of the park and to his house.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As Ray was still with all his friends who were still congratulating him on his victory and thanking them his eyes were still looking for his lover but couldn't find him wondering were he could have gone, which was making him very worried but his look of worry didn't go unnoticed by Lee.

"Ray what is it? What are you looking for?"

"Yea Ray you look very worried about something?"

The others in the group also noticed and wondered what was going on. But before anyone of them could say a word Ray's worried coated voice made everyone stop and listen to the very worried neko.

"Lee…..where is Kai…..I don't see him…..I thought he would be happy that I won….but I don't know where he is…….

"Well….Ray maybe he went home to clear his head or something."

"Yea or maybe he went home and is setting a surprise for you."

Miguel said as he walked up to his boyfriend and snuggled up close to him. This action made Lee blush a little but it soon went away as he saw the look of utter sadness on his face. Ray then looked at his friends then at Kai's teammates that were also worried about him and there captain.

"Ray……"

Ray just turned towards the parks exit and started to leave but was stopped by hand going around his arm holding him in place. He turned his head to come face to face with a worried looking Lee. Ray just smiled softly at his friend as he patted his hand and slowly released his grip to continue on his way but not without saying one more thing.

"I'm going to Kai's house to talk to him and find out what happened and why he left without saying anything me."

With that Ray ran the rest of the way out of the park and ran straight to Kai's all the while his thoughts kept repeating the same thing over and over.

"Why did you leave Kai why I thought you loved me and thought you would be happy for me……Kai why……."
