Chapter Text
"What?!" Tyson yelled and Max and Kenny jerked awake. "Tyson why are yelling?" Kenny asked. "It's to early" Max rubbed his head.
"Ray left! He left!" He continued to yell. "What???" Max and Kenny were schocked. Kai was awake but was to tired to listen.
And Bella, was slepping. "We have to tell Mr. Dickenson" he jumped out of bed angrly and ran outside. "Tyson wait!" Kenny yelled and the two followed him.
Kai turned and was fully awake. He looked over at Bella. She looked so peacefull,and her hair was on her face again. He moved it and admired her face.
He felt her forhead, she was a bit warm. Bella turned to the side and Kai moved his heand. Kai sighed. "Why do i care for you?" He smiled, blush apperd on his checks.
He came to the kitchen and put a towel under the cold water.
He came back to the room and she was on her back again. "Ummm" he chuckled and put the towel on her forhead. "K...ai" she smiled in her sleep.
He was confused. "Kai..." she said it again. He smiled. "She's dreaming,is it about me? Or is she just saying my name?" He wondered.
Bella opend her eyes slowly and yawned. She turned and saw Kai. "Good morning Sunshine" he joked. Bella giggled. "Morning" she got up, towel falling into her heands. "Oh!" She looked at it.
"Rest more,you'll need strenght for today" he gently pushed her back down, taking the towel from her. "Kai,i'm fine,i don't fell sick anymore" she wanted to protest but he put the towel back on.
"You're still warm Bella,you have to rest" he said. Bella felt defeated. "Fine..." she looked to her left and saw that no one was there. "Where is everyone?" she looked at him.
Kai looked away. "Ray left, the others went to complain to Mr. Dickenson" Bella's eyes widen and quickly sat up, towel falling in process. "What? Ray left?!" She was schocked.
"Bella, calm down, Ray will come back" Kai tried to calm her down. "How can i be calm? And how do you know if he'll come back?" She grabed his scarf.
"He's the type of guy who can get his bit beast back. Once he finds Driger, he'll come back stronger" he explained. Bella calmed down and let him go. "Yeah you're right, i'm sorry for reachting that way" she apologized.
"It's okay, now get some rest" he pushed her gently back to bed, putting the towel back on. "Hey, i like the Kai that gives of spechess, you're good" she joked.
"Thanks, i'm gonna see where the guys are" he got up and turned to her again. "Don't get out of bed" he said and walked out. Bella grunted in defeat.
~~~
Kai got out and sighed. "I would rather stay with her than look for those guys" he started walking. He didn't have to look for them, they were right there.
"I'm going after him guys. There's no way he'd leave without saying goodbye if something wasn't wrong, it's so tottaly weird" Tyson said to Max and Kenny.
"Tyson" Kai called to him and Tyson emidietly turned. "Kai" Tyson was a bit suprised. "Why are you three waisting your time out here? You should be practesing" he said.
"You're not serious. If you haven't noticed,we're one team memeber short" Tyson crossed his arms. "I would worry about that" Kai said, with everyone was confused about that sentence
"When Ray's good and ready he'll come back again. I know him and he's the type of guy who's determant to get his bit beast back. His Drigger means everything to him if anyone could find a way to get it back, he will" Kai explained to them
"You mean he can get his bit beast back?" Max asked. "I'm sure of it. And when he does, Ray would be stronger" Kai replied. "Without Ray and his bit beast, there's no way we can wi this tournament" He got throught them
"Wait Kai, how's Bella doing?" Max turned. "She's fine, she's a bit warm but overall okay" he replied. "That's good. At least she's not sick. That would be a total bust" Max said.
"Oh man, i can't belive Bella's still not better" Tyson crossed his arms. "Don't worry Romeo, Bella would be fine" Kai walked away from them.
"At least what we can do is find Ray, and i'm gonna do just that" Tyson was determant and ran. "Tyson, wait! Oh man" Kenny sighed in defeat.
"Don't worry Chief, i'll follow him" Max gave him a thumps up and ran after Tyson. "After all, we heard the tournament is canceld for today so mind go and get us registeded?" He asked and ran off. Kenny was sad but tried not to show it.
"Sure..." he said.

Bella grutted. "Uh, i can't just sit here and do nothing. I have to get out of here" she sat up. She looked around, no one was coming.
"I'm taking this off" she put the towel down and got out of bed. "Sorry Kai, but i can't be in this prison forever" she put on her shoes and jacket and head to the door. She open it and it reveald Chief.
"Bella-" she put a finger on his lips. She looked both ways. "I'm glad it's you Chief. I know Ray is gone. Did Tyson go to search for him?" She asked, whispering.
Kenny noded, nervous. "Okay, i'm gonna follow him. Please don't tell Kai about this" she begged. He noded amd she smiled. "Great, you're the best Chief" she blow him a small kiss and ran. "Later" she waved and took off.
Kenny blushed and sighed. "Ohh, I'm gonna regret this" he walked away.
~~~
Bella was still felling a bit Dizzy, but managed to walk normaly. "Umm, maybe i should have stayed in bed" she schock her head. "No way! I have to find Tyson,maybe he's lost or something" she said.
"Heeey Bella!" She turned and saw Max running towards her. "Oh hey Ma-AHH" he hugged her,making them both fall. "Oh i'm so glad you're all better now" he said happily.
Bella schock her head and get back to her sences. "Yeah, me to but can you get off? You're kinda heavy" she was strugling to breathe. He realzied it and help her up.
"So, you looking for Tyson two?" She asked, dusting herself off. "You bet, he just ran off saying he wanted to find Ray. How did you seank past Kai anyway?" Max tillted his head.
"Well," she sweatdropped. "Let's just say that, Chief will take care of it" Bella replied. "Oh,okay, i hope Kai doesn't go and search for you" he smiled and started walking.
Bella was confused with the word 'you'. "You mean us" she started walkng beside him. "No, i meant just you." He turned to face her.
"Tyson was right, he was worried about you throught your hole match against Tommy. He really does care about you" he explained himself.
Bella blushed at the thought. "T-that's real nice" she said. "Yeah i know, i was calling him multiple times throughout the hole thing but he didn't listen. He was just worried about you and the match" he added.
She blushed even more. "Hey,there's Tyson" he pointed and ran to him. "Hey Tyson!" He called to him. "Hey there buddy" he hugged and they also fell down. Bella came to them, smiling.
"I never thought i'd catch up to you" he helped him up. "Why did you come?" He sudendlly turned and saw Bella. He jumped. "B-bella? You're here two?" He asked.
She gave him a wave. "Hey, yeah i am. I sneak out of bed. I figures you would look for Ray" she explained. "Wait,how did you past by Kai?" He raised a brow. "Let's just say, Chief would take care of it" she looked over at one of the mountains.
"I guess he's probably up there" she said and started walking. Tyson grabed her heand and stopped her. "Ty?" She turned to him. He felt her forhead. "Kai was right, you are a little bit warm" he said.
She backed away. "Oh come on, i'm not helpless. I'm gonna be fine,now let's go" she started walking again. Tyson sighed. "She is right Tyson, Bella can take care of herself" Max tuerned to him.
"Yeah i know" he sighed and they followed her.
~~~
Kai came back to the small house. "Hey Bella are you felling be-" he turned and saw she wasn't in bed. "What the-" he asked. He was angry and worried at the same time.
"Where did she go?" He asked himself. He heard the door open. "Oh hey Kai-" It was Kenny. "Where is she?" He asked, turning to him. Kenny was uneasy. "Don't even think about lying to me Kenny. Where. Is. She?" He came closer Kenny.
He was scared at this point and he let it out. "Bella realzied that Tyson is going to search for Ray. She told me not to tell you but she headed to find him. I wanted to tell her not to go but she probably won't listen to me and you weren't here and i didn't know what to do" he panicked, saying it in one breath.
Kai was schocked but still angry. He sighed and sat down. "At least she's with him and not in town. That would be terrible" he said.
"Yeah, right" Kenny was still nervous. "Are you gonna-""No, i'm not gonna search for them. I trust Bella" he replied, he didn't have to listen to the question completly.
"Well, it's better to trust her than Tyson" Kenny sat down as well. Kai nodded.
"Yeah"

"So, you past Kai, hopefully he's not gonna be mad at you. You were felling warm earlier" Tyson said as they climbed. "For the last time, i'm fine!and i don't think Kai would be that mad" Bella was iratied at the topic.
"Honsetly, i would be suprised if he was mad. He always so nice to you" Max got into the conversation. "Yeah,i'm kinda jelaous" Tyson joked witch made Bella laugh.
"I do miss you guys and i miss being a White Tiger" they all looked up and it was Ray. Tyson got mad. "What did you say?" Tyson asked. "Tyson, Bella,Max" Ray turned to them, Mariah was with him.
"So you're a jumping ship, how dare you- uh!" Tyson was about to fall but Bella and Max grabed him. "Take it easy!" Bella said to him. "Now get back up here" Max said as the two pulled him up.
"I-i can't belive what i just heard Ray. Maybe everything we heard about you is true" Tyson turned to Ray. "Hey, i'm not got for your team anymore" Ray said.
Mariah put a heand on his shoulder. "Oh Ray, you're not on their team any longer" she said. That suprised Bella. "Oh so it's official you've deserted us to join that team of-" Tyson was angry but put a heand on his mouth to stop him.
"Ray, Bella and i may not show it as much as Tyson, but how can you do this to us after all we done for you?" We fought you were our friend, our teammate. We didn't even care about your but beast. And now you're telling us you're leaving to join them" Max was sad.
"But it's not what it looks like" Ray tried to defend himself. "Oh yeah, what does it look like?" Tyson aksed,Bella put a heand on his shoulder. "Calm down" she said.
"Hey wait i've gotten idea that'll solve everything, you intrested?" Tyson came closer and asked. "Well pal?"
"No Ray" Mariah tried to get him out of it, even before Tyson said the idea. Ray was waiting for Tyson to speak. "Well then here's what's up. I challenge you to a battle" he said.
Max and Bella were shocked, Ray, was intrested in where this was going. "If you win you can do whatever you want,no questions asked, no hard fellings" he said.
"But if you lose Ray, than you come back to the Bladebreakers forever" Tyson finished. Ray was about to say something, but was stopped by Mariah.
"Fight me instead, the same challange but you battle me instead of Ray's Drigger" she came closer to Tyson. "No! This isn't about you,understand?" Ray stopped her with his words.
"But Ray you don't even have your bit beast" Mariah turned to him. "Mariah, that's for him to decide" Bella crossed her arms. Mariah turned back to Bella. "I accept" Ray decited.
~~~
I don't like this. I heard is capable of, i'm pretty sure he can against Tyson without his bit beast.
Bella looked up at the two. "Good luck you guys, let the best blader win" she said. "Yeah, you go get him Tyson" Max cheered. "Distroy him Ray! You didn't need The White Tiger when you were a kid and you don't need it now so shread him" Mariah cheered for Ray.
Bella smiled at that, she cared so much about him, and she knows about him to much. "3...2...1... let it rip!" She conuted. And they let it rip.
"Driger attack!" Ray yelled and his blade was coming for Tyson's. "Dragoon storm attack" Tyson blade was heading to Ray's witch caused a little bit of wind.
"Oh man, this is really gonna mess up my hair" Max said. "I just washed mkne" mariah added witch caused Bella to laugh a bit.
The battle was a bit tricky but Bella could tell that Ray had a plan. He was gonna make a landslide. She knew it,but chouse bot to say anything.
Ray finally did what he wanted and he won the match. "And the winner is Ray" Max said. Bella clapped her heands. "Congratulations Ray, that was amazing" she said. Ray was suprised. "Thanks" he said.
"Tyson, if you're intrsted, i made my desecion" Ray turned to Tyson. He just smiled. "I said there weren't gonna be any hard fellings and i meant that Ray" he walked away a bit.
"I thought you'd like to know, that we really wanted you back, even without your bit beast" he turned to Ray again. "You serious? I didn't know that" Ray turned to Mariah. "I'm not coming back with you" he said witch suprised everyone.
"Sorry Mariah, but i have to go back to the Bladebreakers. I sure hope you understand but i-i think i found a new home and hopefully we can stay friends no matter what" he said.
"You made me remember something, that i frogot a long time ago,that is just a game." He said.
Those words made Bella think back...
Just a game...
"Mariah,you're a good friend" Ray said. Mariah smiled again. "Thanks Ray" that snapped Bella out of her thoughts. "And you're also" she came to her and put a heand on her shoulder. "Very strong, your love for...you know" she winked.
Mariah blushed at that. "Don't worry, it will come back around" she patted her shoulder. "Thanks..." Mariah finally said it. Bella let it go. "Don't menchen it" she said.
"Are you guys ready to go?" Ray asked. "You bet" Tyson said and he began blabing about it with Max.
"Mariah" everyone turned and saw Lee. "What are you doing out here with Ray?" He asked. "Nothing" Mariah replied. "Lee" Bella called to him. "Please Bella, stay out of this" Lee came closer to them.
Kevin was right, he's trying to be calm, he respects her opinion. "The last thing we need is an agrument Lee,i just came here to find Ray because i was worried" Mariah said to him.
"You're worrying about the enemy? That is completly unacceptable why he's nothing more than a worthless traitor" Lee was still angry about the situasion.
"You're wrong-"Ray as far as i'm consern. Without your White Tiger you're jot even fit compotetion" Lee said to Ray. He smiled "you think you can back that up Lee?" He asked.
"Yeah tought guy,you froget Ray is on our sid enow" Tyson said, both him and Max came in front of him. "And we fight as a team okay?" Max added.
Lee turned and both him and Mariah jumped of the clif. "Wait! They jumoed of the clif" Tyson panicked and came to the egde with Max. "You ready to head back now?" Ray asked.
Max and Tyson were nervous. "You guys scared?" Bella rasied a brow. You know me Bells i am afreid of hights" Tyson laughed nervously.
"Hey i have an idea, why don't you guys head back first and you can call me and Bella a taxy" Max suggested,hughing Bella's shoulder.
"No way" Bella giggled, and pushed his arm away playfully. Everyone started to laugh.
~~~
They finally got down. "So Bella,you left without Kai knowing?" Ray turned to her. "Yeah, i couldn't bare the fact that Tyson was going to get you wuthout me, so i followed him" she said.
"I just hope Kai won't be mad" Max got into the conversation. "I'm sure he won't-" Tyson stopped as he saw Kai. "Ahh! Kai" he hid behind Bella.
"Where have you been?" Kai came closer to them, more specifacly Bella. She looked away. "I was just following Tyson so he won't get lost" she admited.
Kai continued to stare at her witch made Bella blush. "T-that's all" he felt her forhead. "You look red, let me" he said. That made her blush even more. "I-i'm fine" she pushed his heand away and walked off.
"You don't have to worry about me!" She walked inside.
Kai turned to the three boys. "Did something happend?" He asked. "No no! It's all cool" Tyson waved his heands. Max and Ray noded in agrement.
Kai sighed and followed Bella inside.
She looked upset and red. "Bella?" He called to her. She looked up and saw him. "Hmm" she grunted. Kai came to her side and felt her forhead. "You're much warmer now, i'll get you a cold towel" he got up and head to the kitchen
Bella turned to her back. She was still blushing. Why was she? Why was she sudendlly like this? "Here" Kai put it on her forhead. "Thanks Kai" she gave him a weak smile.
"Don't menchen it, now go a head and rest. I'll tell the guys to keep it quiet" he was about to leave before she stopped him. "Actually, can you just, stay here, if i need anything?" She asked.
Kai smiled and sat back down. "Sure i'll stay" he removed a bit of hair from her face and she realxed, started to sleep.
He watched her, he started to blush two.
"How did i found you again?"
He wondered. Did they desteny spoke? Was it because of Mr. Dickenson? He'll never know. What he do knew is that he's happy that she was there.
"You're beautifull" he said it out loud. He realized it and coverd his mouth.
But Bella didn't react, she was in deep sleep. Kai sighed and stroked her hair.
"I'm glad. That you're in my life again, my sweet Angel"
