Chapter 6

Afterwarmth

"Okay . . . What just happened?" Tyson asked.

Kai and Ray glared at Max, "You just HAD to ask that question, didn't you?' they questioned accusingly.

"Err . . . Sorry." Max apologized meekly to the 2 older teenagers.

Ray sighed, "Tyson, where's the nearest shrine?"

"20 meters down the road, why?" Tyson asked.

"Thanks, Tyson, I have a feeling Ami might be there. Catch you later, guys." Ray ran off to the direction of the water/ice shrine.

"Ray!" Tyson yelled after his teammate.

"Let him go, Tyson. Right now, he is the only one who can comfort Ami." Kai replied.

Turning to the team captain, Tyson asked, "What do you mean?'

"It is quite obvious that Ray likes your cousin, Tyson. I can see the sparkle in his eyes every time he talks to her and vice versa. Besides, Ray slipped when he called Ami, Ames." Kai stated simply.

"Oh." Tyson nodded, trusting his friend to take care of his cousin.

#### 20 minutes later ####

Ray finally reached the shrine after running up the staircase.

Looking around, Ray started to find Ami. Eventually, he found her behind the cherry blossoms tree, transformed and crying.

Sneaking quietly behind her, Ray had almost jumped upon Ami, when she whipped around, poised to attack. Sailor Mercury's eyes widened when she saw who the intruder was. Tapping her tiara, Mercury detransformed and hugged Ray, sobbing all the while.

"Ray, I'm so sorry." Ami sobbed, clinging onto him.

"Sorry? For what? I don't care whether you are a virgin or not. Besides, it isn't your fault." Ray consoled her.

Looking up, Ami replied weakly, "Really?"

Ray nodded, "Ames, I don't love you for what you are, but for who you are."

"Thank you, Ray." Ami muttered, glad of his reassurance.

"Ashiteru, my little icicle." Ray muttered.

"I love you too, my Tiger." Ami replied back, before capturing Ray's lips in a kiss.

Startled, Ray took a moment to register what was happening. Then, he returned the kiss in fervor. A short while later, Ray felt Ami's tongue against his lips, begging for entrance. A little surprised since she was never the one to initiate intimacy, Ray took a moment before responding. Opening his mouth to allow her to enter, Ray shivered a little when he felt Ami's tongue tracing along his teeth, stopping teasingly at his fangs. Then, Ami's tongue played with his, urging him to play along. Smirking inwardly, Ray pinned Ami against the tree trunk, as his tongue battled with hers for dominance.

A few minutes later, the pair broke off.

"So, whatever brought THAT on?" Ray asked.

"Ow, you mean I can't show my gratitude?" Ami whined jokingly.

"It's not that, it's just that you were never to one to show affection in public." Ray reasoned.

"Like I said before, dear, people change with time. Besides, I won't want Mariah chasing after my butt if I did that with you back then." Ami replied.

"Point taken." Ray smiled, chucking at the last part of `Mariah chasing after my butt if I did that with you back then.'

"We better go back. The rest would be very worried at us." Ray said, pulling Ami back to Max's place.

Ami nodded and the both of them walked back hand-in-hand.

Upon arriving at the Beyblade shop door, Max had told them that the team had gone home and Mr Dickerson had arrived a few minutes before, reminding them that they have to arrive at the tournament by 10 in the morning the next day.

Thanking Max, the duo returned home for a whole afternoon of rest. Ami has to recharge and rethink after what happened after her revelation.

"Hopefully, it doesn't affect my performance in the tournament." Ami thought, before retreating to her room to mediate.
