Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ Choices ❯ chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Mina: I refuse to say the disclaimer. Oh, sorry for the long wait! Enjoy!

Ray: Mina doesn't own beyblade, but she does own the Shadow bladers.

When Raiye got back to the plane she shot an evil glare at Kai before she sat down. Rei was still asleep and so was Tyson. Max looked at Tyson with a disturbed look then called the stewardess over and asked for a bucket. She nodded and nearly slipped on the drool that made a small puddle on the floor. "Hey Max…." Raiye said her head popping over the top of the chair. He looked at her. "Are you excited about the beyblade tournament?" "Yep I'm completely stoked." The two smiled at each other and laughed. "At the rate that Tyson drools, he could fill a swimming pool!" Max said looking over at his friend. Raiye laughed harder. "Yep that's Tyson for you!"

"This is your captain speaking. We will be taking off shortly, please have your seatbelts on and ready for takeoff." Ray opened his eyes slowly to meet clear blue ones. "Why hello there sleepy head!" she said smiling as she ruffled his hair. He blushed lightly and smiled. "Where are we?" "We stopped in Honolulu, Hawaii." She went to finger the choker in her pocket to find that it had gone missing. "Oh no! I lost it!"

Kai looked over at Raiye, who was franticly searching for her choker. Kai slid his hand into his pocket and fingered her choker. He wanted to give it back to her, but then she would've asked why he was following her. His feelings were starting to play games with him. There were times when he thought he didn't like her at all, but there were also times when he felt that he was in love with her. He figured the same thing was going on with Ray. Although, Ray looked and acted as if he really WAS in love with her, and this made Kai very irritated. Wait, why was he getting all worked up about this? *Am I really in love with her? No, I can't be in love with Raiye!*

Throughout the rest of the plane ride Raiye franticly continued to search for her choker. "No! My choker…" she sat down and tried to see if she could remember what could've happened to it. "Hm." She glanced over at Ray, who had fallen back to sleep. She smirked and kissed his forehead. Kai had seen the whole thing and it ticked him off. He fingered the choker in his pocket and smirked to himself.

The plane landed smoothly in South America. "Ray," she whispered in his ear. "Time to wake up." He didn't move. She leaned close to him. "Hm, I'll guess I'll have to kiss him to get him to wake up." She said a little louder. Ray's eyes opened and a dark crimson blush covered his cheeks. Raiye laughed, "Well, it's about time you woke up." Ray looked at her, a blush still on his cheeks. "Come on Ray, or we'll be late getting off the plane." Ray nodded and followed her off the plane. "Raiye…." She turned and looked at Kai. "Yes?" He slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out her choker. "Here…." Her eyes lit up when she saw it. "Oh my God! Where did you find it? I was searching everywhere for it!" Kai kept a straight face. "When we bumped into each other in the store." Her smile widened as she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. There went Kai's feelings. They skyrocketed at the feeling of her body pressing against his. Kai fought to keep himself from blushing.

"Hey Raiye! Over here!" Raiye let go of Kai and turned around. Ayumi and Hatari were running up to her. Hatari hugged his sister and swung her around before setting her on the ground. Ayumi smiled at Raiye and whispered. "So which one is your boyfriend?" A crimson blush covered Raiye's cheeks. "I haven't decided yet." Ayumi's smiled widened, whispering, "I'll take Kai…." Raiye nodded, "Then that means I get Ray." The two girls laughed and walked off to bug Alex. Hatari looked at Kai. "You like Raiye don't you?" Kai nodded slightly. "Yeah, I guess she has that affect on guys. You and Ray are the only ones that seem to really like her." Kai looked away and started to walk towards his team.

The two teams got on a BBA bus and headed toward the arena where they were going to beyblade. Raiye was asleep resting her head against the window. Hatari, who was sitting next to Raiye, was reading a book. Alex and Ayumi were engaged in a conversation about who knows what. Tyson, Max, Kenny and Ray were talking about strategies they would need. But Kai for some reason couldn't keep his eyes off Raiye. He watched her closely as she slept. She was now leaning on Hatari's shoulder.

The BBA bus stopped at a really nice Brazilian hotel and everyone got off the bus. Hatari didn't want to wake Raiye up, so he was carrying her, bridal style. "Hey you guys, I'll stay behind with Raiye, the rest of you can go register for the beyblade tournament." Hatari said as they walked down the hall and to the door to the room where he and Alex would share a room. Hatari had somehow managed to open the door and proceeded to lay Raiye on the bed. "Um.…if you don't mind, I'll stay here and you can go register for the tournament." Hatari looked at Ray, who was standing in the doorway, and smiled. "You really like her huh?" Ray blushed a dark crimson red and nodded quickly. "Yeah I do, but the weird thing is I can't bring myself to tell her." Hatari walked over to him and ruffled his hair. "Don't worry, when the time's right you'll tell her." With that he left. Ray sat on the floor next to the bed and watched Raiye sleep peacefully. He rested his head on the edge of the bed and smiled. "I wish I could tell you how I feel." He whispered before closing his eyes falling asleep also, his hand holding hers.

Hatari, Alex and Ayumi returned with the `Bladebrakers' right behind them. "I bet Ray and Raiye are having a great time together." Hatari said happily as he pulled out the key to the room where he left Ray and Raiye. He opened the door to see Raiye sitting there, blushing, and Ray asleep still next to the bed. She was looking at Ray's hand holding hers. "Hey there!" Alex said, waking Ray up. Immediately, Ray pulled away from Raiye and the bed, his face as red as a cherry. "Enjoying yourselves?" Hatari teased sitting down on the edge of the bed. Raiye climbed out of the bed, her face completely red. "Don't be ridiculous, we all know Raiye enjoyed herself." Alex teased hitting Raiye's shoulder lightly.

Raiye quietly left the room, while everyone else was talking about the preliminary rounds that were happing tomorrow. `Who should I choose? Kai or Ray? I know Ayumi wants Kai, but what if I like Kai more than Ray, then what am I going to do?' "You shouldn't be walking around if your so lost in thought. You could hurt yourself." She whipped around to see Kai standing there, arms crossed a calm expression on his face. "What are you talking about Kai?" He smirked and walked closer to her. "You're just like Tyson." "Well duh, I am related to him." She stared at him oddly as he closed the gap between them and his lips brushed against hers.
