hits the waves, the Blade Breakers. We just have to see how we can best harness Kai so that both teams can come to their full strength, "said Ron and looked at Kai." And how is that supposed to work, Mr. Smart? I can't split myself up in the middle, "said the gray-haired handsome boy." I already know, but we have to try Phoenix, "he said. Kai's fawn eyes flash red briefly before they returned to their normal color. Kai looked at him confused and Riku looked at him a bit puzzled. "I don't know if I can follow you", Kai said to his team captain. "You will as soon as you are in the situation, you instinctively do the right thing, me As always, rely on you, "said Ron."We'll lure them out of the abbey and then strike them. It starts early in the morning, sleep in, we all need our full strength, this also applies to the other teams. Biovolt is a very tough and deceitful opponent who shouldn't be underestimated under any circumstances "said Ron, turning to go. As he passed Kai, he put his hand briefly on his shoulder and looked at him. "Stoke the right fire, success or failure depends on you," he warned and then walked down the long corridor. "As always," sighed Kai and hung his head. Riku carefully grabbed his chin and gently pushed him back up. "I like you better that way," she said softly and kissed him on the cheek. "Ron is right, we should go to bed," he said then, glancing briefly at his real team. Max and the rest of them nodded to him and then made their way to their common room. "Lew, show you your room," said Mr. Dickenson and went with Mrs.Tate out too. "I am with you, we carry the burden together. The fire phoenix will be more powerful than ever, just like its mate the ice phoenix", said Riku. Kai let out an audible breath and then went down to the main gate without saying anything and disappeared outside. "Does he always have so much responsibility to bear?", Lee asked and looked out the window and watched Kai disappear into the stables. "Yes, he is the strongest of us when the right fire burns in him. His feelings play an extremely important role, but I can't and shouldn't tell you more. You already know too much anyway," said Gina shyly. "And does he know which is the right fire?" Asked Mariah. Aris laughed briefly: "Of course he knows, only he never lets it burn for long. He is and remains a cold block of ice. That would not be so with the" right "one." "That is not fair Aris, just because he told you back then Missing a basket and choosing Riku does not mean that he made the wrong choice.They go very well together, even their elements match. Can't you at least bury your jealousy for this fight? You make it harder for him than it already is, "said Alex and juggled three dark balls." Pah, it's not difficult to stir up the right fire. What's the matter with ..... "" ARIS, stop now! ", Riku roared angrily and there were tears in her eyes." I know myself that I can't support him as much as you might. But I'm not like you and that's why he took me. He loves ME the way I am, with my mistakes. "Riku turned away and ran downstairs, the others only heard the big main gate crashing into the lock." Well done Aris, it could be that you want him to die or part of Biovolt forever? ", Takato asked angrily." Oh, don't get upset boys, he's not a small child who can't take anything anymore, "echoed the red-haired woman and disappeared too."Imaginary cow," muttered Emily, stepping behind Lee and looking out the window. "What are you looking at all the time?" Asked Michael, interested. "Kai, he was doing something in the stables earlier and now he's playing with a fireball," said Lee.



Kai threw his ball into the air again and again and watched the flames that licked around the ball before he caught it again and everything started all over again. He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that Riku ran to him crying. Only when she clung to him, sobbing, did he look down at her, confused. Its formed ball of fire fizzled out and trickled onto the snow as a shower of embers. "What's going on?" He asked worriedly and took her face in his hands. But she just kept crying and sobbing. "Aris, isn't it?" He asked with a sigh and hugged Riku tightly. "Let the stupid turkey babble, she's still jealous. But what I said is against me and not against you, she just wants to hurt you to wipe me out," he said gently and stroked her back soothingly.Slowly she stopped crying and just sobbed softly. "Are you feeling better now?" He whispered in her ear and bit her neck lightly. Riku laughed softly but still hid her face against his chest. Gently but firmly he pushed her away from him and then gently wiped the tears from her face. "I like you better that way". He bent his head down to her and kissed her lightly on the mouth. Her breath escaped in a low sigh as the tip of his tongue traced a warm, tender path around her lips. The gentle and sensual kiss from him made her forget everything, and she pressed herself closer to him. "Don't let her tell you anything. Let's go in, it's getting cold, you already have goose bumps," he said and kissed her tenderly again and then fasted her hand and went inside with her. "Oh look, have you been crying out now?" Aris asked mockingly as the two of them went up the stairs. Annoyed, Kai stopped and brought Riku to a standstill.Lee and the others coming out of the fireplace room saw Kai's eyes flash angrily. Then he turned to Aris who was standing in the hall below. "You know what? That's exactly what I appreciate so incredibly about Riku. She's not such an arrogant bitch like you," he said coldly and pulled his girlfriend closer to him. "And because I'm in good shape at the moment. Think how stupid you act here. What should the others think of you? To be honest, I don't know what they think and I don't care what they think. But for me you are always just the conceited, stupid, arrogant and insidious chick that you always were for me! ", Kai said calmly. Then he went up the stairs, still holding Riku by the hand. "Stupid goat," he grumbled as he passed the others. "Oh and Mr. Hiwatari is infallible or what?" Aris shouted upstairs, but she got no more answer. Riku looked at her friend in amazement."What's the matter with you? You should be furious by now." "I don't feel like that, someone had to give her their opinion and maybe she'll finally leave us alone. I've had enough stress in the last few days, I don't need such a brawl," he replied and stayed to stay in front of the door. "You will be asleep for sure, we should be quiet," said Riku. "Oh, I can be very quiet if I have to," he whispered and kissed her gently on the mouth. Riku laughed softly and gently pushed him away. "You are impossible," she joked and opened the door. Immediately there was the loud snoring of Tyson. "Jeep you sleep", said Kai and stepped into the room. Riku shook his head, went to Kai's closet and took out a loose shirt that she had borrowed from Mariah. Then she padded into the bathroom and took a shower. Kai lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Why did this Aris always have to poke around?He found her behavior very childish and she was almost 18! He had just dozed off when he felt the cold drops of water on his face. Grumbling, he opened his eyes again and looked into Riku's face. "You can go to the bathroom now," she said and crawled under the covers. Kai mumbled something indistinct and then disappeared into his bathroom. It didn't take him quite as long as Riku and lay down tired next to her and snuggled against her back. Soon after, from her calm breathing, he fell asleep.
