Kai now stood there completely surprised, he really hadn't expected anything except that. "Do you mean that seriously?" asked the said immediately afterwards. "Dead serious," said this and looked into the red eyes of the Russian.
"It's better if you go to sleep now[Topic Change XP]", Kai stated and carries Ruriko to bed. "I don't want to go to sleep," Ruriko began to sulk."And why not?" Kai asked with a touch of sarcasm in his voice. "I still want to see the sandman[I had to be sorry]" she answered and tried to suppress her laugh. "The Sandman?" asked Kai in astonishment. Now Ruriko couldn't help but laugh. "What's so funny now?" asked Kai. "The expression on your face .... To die for," she said and tried to suppress her laughter. In vain. Only when Kai gently pressed Ruriko on the bed did she stop. "Hm ... what punishment is there for bad children?" said Kai and looked into those beautiful feline eyes. "No, not Kai .. I will always be good too" Ruriko had to laugh again. Suddenly she felt her lips press gently against hers. Kai's tongue begged for admission, which she was granted. He savored it to the full. After a few minutes they both parted, because taking a breath was part of the program.
"Wow" was the first thing Kai said.Ruriko, however, remained silent.
// When do you notice it ... Do you even notice it at all ... I'm a boy ... But still ... even if I lost everything for it ... I love him ... Say kami .. .. is it a crime to love him? // many such thoughts went through Ruriko's head; was it really that impossible to love him?
Nobody knows ... Maybe not even God, but Ruriko didn't care at that moment ... All she wanted was to stay with Kai ... forever. And if he had to, he would stay a girl ... Just that he could stay with him. Forever....
Kai breathed "Ruriko" into her ear, gently stroking a few strands from her face. Ruriko looked up, a slight smile crept into her face. Kai's proximity was wonderful. Everything was quiet; a silence that was slowly becoming strange, because it seems like the others were already asleep.
"We ... should go to sleep too, Kai" Ruriko said with a stutter and looked at him."All right" Kai smiled, lay down next to her and hugs her. And that silence came again, and after a period of silence they both finally fell asleep.

~ .: The next morning:. ~
Ruriko opened his eyes, lay alone in the other's bed. It seemed that Kai was already up. // Confusing ... I'm slowly realizing ... that it doesn't work ... I'm sorry, Kai // Ruriko got up, took a few things and got dressed. Thousands of thoughts went through her head, but they all resulted in the same thing. She couldn't love Kai. As much as that decision hurt, it was for the best.
When she went downstairs, the others were having breakfast. When Kai saw Ruriko, a grin crept onto his face. However, Tyson was not very excited to see the Chinese woman.
"Tomorrow" came softly from Ruriko and she went further outside. Surprised looks came from their teammates. As she walked, she took out her Beyblade, looked at Drigger. // Why ... Why did it have to come to this?// Ruriko didn't know what to do. Everything was so confusing. Too confusing.
After a long time it started to rain. Ruriko, however, did not think of going back, she preferred to let the rain wash her; so many things that she wanted to forget but couldn't.
Her head drooped, her long black hair clung to her body, the raindrops ran down her face. Every now and then people would come by and start talking about the headless girl. But Ruriko didn't hear her, too many thoughts were in her head.
Why was it forbidden for her to love him? The streets became empty and soon there was only Ruriko on it. But she didn't notice that Ruriko was alone on the street. She didn't even want to notice; the only thing she wanted was forgotten.
A car drove by, right through a puddle, and sprayed the young Chinese woman. Ruriko looked up but said nothing.
Now she heard her name being called and when she turned around, the rest of the Beyblade colleagues came running to her.Ruriko just stopped and looked at her with blank eyes. "Ruriko what kind of things are you doing ?!" said Kai and put his rain jacket on her. "I ... nothing ..." she said absently.
"You walk like crazy through the rain for nothing and don't even notice that you're already soaked?" Tyson said very ironically.
"TYSON" meant Kai, Max and Kenny at the same time.
"Nani ... It's like that," he said, pouting slightly.
"It's okay, let's go back," said Ruriko and started walking towards the Beybladers' flat.
The rest of them were surprised at first, but then followed her.
"What was the matter with her?" asked Max, breaking the silence. Kai just shrugged his shoulders.
"Tell me, Kai, is there something going on between you and Ruriko?" Tyson asked, nudging Kai on the side.
"Just because you're jealous," said Kai and walked on, leaving a puzzled Tyson behind. "There's not really something going on between them, is there?" he asked totally amazed. "Maybe yes.Didn't you see Kai's grin this morning when he saw Ruriko? "Answered Kenny." No, was busy eating, "said Tyson.
Max and Kenny sighed.
Kai had caught up with Ruriko in the meantime.
"Tell me, what was wrong with you? It's not your way of running around so headlessly!" he said and took Ruriko's hand.
"I just think about certain things, everything's okay! And don't ask if I'm fine, because I'm fine," she added and tore herself away from Kai's hand.
"O ... Okay" he said and was visibly surprised by Ruriko's behavior.
// I'm so sorry Kai, but there is no other way. If I ever transform back ... you would surely hate me ... and I don't want that! I would rather keep my distance and secretly love you than continue to lie to myself and to you // Again she began to think. Why was it so different for her to love? Just because she's really a boy?There was silence, no one spoke anything; maybe nobody wanted it either.
// What is Ruriko doing ... She seems to have been so absent since this morning // now Kai started to think too.
Ruriko looked back at Drigger. "You can't live with this lie either, am I right drigger?" Ruriko whispered to Drigger.
Although no one heard anything, Ruriko knew that Drigger was of the same opinion as she was. Drigger was always here. Even when he was alone, on the streets in Hong Kong before he met the others.
But Drigger was always with him, understood him, no matter what was going on.[Is written in the masculine form on purpose, so don't be surprised]
Ruriko went up to her room, got things from the closet and disappeared into the bathroom. She ran hot water into the tub and began to take off her clothes. She locked the door and got into the water.
"Pleasantly warm" she said and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again she was shocked.//I ... I am ... a boy again // At first he was happy, but then he was shocked, how would he explain it to others? He couldn't possibly say that he had turned into a girl and lied to them all.
Ray got out of the bathtub and looked at himself in the mirror. // That can only be a bad dream ... Or ?! // He was suddenly torn from his thoughts when there was a knock on the door. "Ruriko are you in there?" she heard Kai ask. // I can't say yes now, otherwise he would notice ... That would be terrible ... // "When you take a bath, knock on the edge of the bathtub" said Kai and Ray immediately knocked on the edge of the bathtub. "Okay, come down then please, lunch is coming soon" and so Kai left again. "Phew" he said and sighed in relief. He let out the warm water and stood in the tub.
// I have to calm down // and so he let cold water run over him. He closed his eyes to keep the water from getting in his eyes. When he opened it again, he didn't know what to think of it ... // I've become a girl again // Ray, no Ruriko was happy about it, so he didn't have to explain it to others.She grabbed a towel and dried off. Put on her things and went out.
She went back into the room, got her wallet and ran down the stairs. "You seem to be happy again Ruriko" said Kai. "I'm going shopping, don't expect me back before evening," and so she left the house. "So guys after dinner it's time to train," said Kai with a nasty grin. "Oh no!" Came from everyone at the same time. "Oh yes," he said and began to eat.

~ * ~ The day of Ruriko ~ * ~

Ruriko walked through the city streets. // By touching warm water I become myself again, and by cold water again Ruriko ... So I have to be careful what I do ... Otherwise everything will fly up // Ruriko stopped by some shops. // hm ... Somehow Ruriko must be different from Ray // and so she went to a shopping center. // First we change the hair length and hair color // She had her hair cut shoulder length and dyed it red-brown at the same time.She looked at herself in the mirror that was there. // It's better // she thought. // Now a new outfit and everything is perfect // Ruriko went from one shop to another and at the end of the day she had everything she needed. On her last round she found matching sunglasses. // So now everything fits // she said and sat down in a café. She watched people talk about all kinds of things. // I should avoid Kai's proximity as much as possible ... but ... // she sighed. She always thought of
