Love or Hate Relationship

Chapter 8

"Ring.....Ring.....Ring"

Ray awoke to his cell phone going off as he reached for the phone on his bedside table.

"H-Hello Ray speaking."

"Hey Ray I didn't wake you did I?".

"No I just got up so what's up?"

Ray asked as he stood and stretched waiting for Lee to answer but as Ray was waiting for a response he thought he heard another voice on the other side of the phone that was with Lee. He was about to ask again before Lee's voice came threw the phone.

"Sorry about that man.....the reason I called was to see if you wanted to meat in the park to practice more since you kind of need it and all."

Ray frowned at that even though Lee was right he really needed the practice cuz he really sucked at this point but he soon smiled.

"Sure what time?"

"How about 1o' clock?"

"Sure see ya then."

With that Ray and Lee hung up their phones and continued with their morning routines. Ray just got out of the shower when his phone went off again.

"Ray speaking."

"...Stay away from Kai or else."

The phone line then went dead and Ray looked at his phone but wondered who or what this person wanted with Kai and how they got his number in the first place. He then looked at the clock and noticed that is was almost one so he gathered his blade and his drink and went to meat Lee at the park to practice.

A shadowy figure stood in a near by alley watching Ray as he passed on the other side of street with a death glare directed at Ray's back.

"Damn my threat didn't work oh well onto plan B."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ray arrived at the park to see Lee waiting for him at the usual place.

"Hey Lee ready to get beat?"

Ray asked as he meat up with Lee and they started to set up.

"Yea right Ray just try to stay focused long enough so that does happen ok."

Ray smirked as he got out his blade and got to his position on the other side of the dish and was ready to start this battle.

"Don't worry man I'm 100 focused on this battle."

Lee just shook his head, as he got ready on the other side of the dish.

"Alright ready Lee?"

"Yeah."

"Three, Two, One, Let It Rip!"

Lee and Ray released their blades into the dish and they battled for about 2 hours until their seemed to be a brake threw as Ray was loosing his concentration.

"Stay away for Kai or else."

The words from this morning kept coming back to Ray's mind as he continued to battle and he couldn't keep them out of his head.

"Ray are you alright you seem out of it?"

Lee called from his side of the dish as his blade hit Ray's sending it flying out of the dish. Ray was brought back to reality by his blade, which hit the ground and stopped spinning.

"Huh Lee did you say something?"

Ray asked as he bent down and got his blade and wondered how it got out of the dish when it was just in the dish a few minutes ago.
