Invincible
I thought you cared for me but then you had to leave me, I thought you were my savior but then you had to betray me, I thought you were invincible but then you had to die.
Five years ago on the night of September 17 blood flowed from the Hiwatari Manson, as a murder was committed. Young Kai was present when his own Grandfather carried out the deed of taking his brother from this world. Never able to put the past behind him Kai became just what his Grandfather wanted, a person dead to the world and those around him. Kai remained as such until the caring of a certain Neko-jin broke through the cold bladers shields. Now five years later on September 17 Kai must decide whether to let Rei in or keep him in the dark.
This is the prologue just F.Y.I. hopefully I can get the real first chapter up soon but until then here is your taste.
This is a story is for a friend of mine who has been bugging me to write it forever, Anyways I hope you all like it and enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade or anything that belongs with it.
I laid down shaking as tears threatened to flood from my eyes. The screaming never stopped, the pain was always there. The abbey was hell on earth and my own Grandfather was the devil behind it. I was lucky though, I was protected from most of the pain that all the other kids at the Abbey felt every day.
A shadow moved into my room from the dark corridor. I felt a hand stroke my shoulder blades and I turned around. Deep crimson eyes framed by slate colored bangs looked down at me. I was still shaking as the person pulled me closer to him.
"Kai are you alright? I am so sorry I haven't been here in so long. Grandfather had me running errands all week." I dug my head into the strong shoulder that held me. "I'm fine now." He hugged me closer before I heard the door slam open. The elder crimson eyed boy let me go and I wanted to grab back onto him. "Luka!" The older boy stood glancing back at me with a sympathetic longing.
"Yes Grandfather?" The boy said turning to face the enraged man. Voltaire smacked the boy, a stream of blood emitting from his mouth. "You know what you worthless boy. You think because you finished those few chores that you can run around and do whatever you please. You still belong to me or must I remind you of that?"
Luka rubbed his cheek, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "No grandfather I know my place." Voltaire's glare turned on me. "You, what are you doing lying in bed? I thought you were training?" He took a step towards me and I shrunk back. To my relief Luka stepped in front of him, his eyes on me as he sent an unspoken message, 'I'll protect you.'
"I told him to stay in bed. I don't know if you know this or not grandfather but Kai has been very sick for the last few weeks." I saw the anger flare up in Voltaire's eyes as Luka told him this. "You think you have the power to override my decisions Boy. He wouldn't be sick if he was stronger, maybe his discipline has not been strict enough." Voltaire said stepping forward again, Luka grabbed his arm. "Your constant punishment is the reason he has been so ill. I'll take care of my brother you focus on your worthless company."
Voltaire backhanded him hard, sending blood spraying from his mouth and putting him on his knees. I pulled myself up in the bad and felt my gut twist. I held my hands over my mouth as I stared coughing, the longer I coughed the more violent it got.
I felt a hand press onto my back and pull me into a tight embrace. The door slammed shut as Voltaire left the room. My coughing slowed and when I had my breath again I started to cry. Two strong hands were placed on both sides of my face, pulling me back to look at the crimson eyes of Luka. "Kai don't let Grandfather get to you alright? You never have to worry because I will always protect you." I grabbed him as I pushed the tears back. "You promise?" I whispered wanting to make sure of his words. Luka pulled me back into his arms stroking my hair back. "I promise Kai I will protect you with every breath in my body."
My eyes flew open as the dream melted away into darkness. I pulled myself up right as memories resurrected by the dream floated into my mind. I allowed myself to glance at the clock on the nightstand. 4:24, that was the most I had slept in years. It seemed that I hadn't really slept since my grandfather had started taking care of me.
I swung my legs over the edge of the bed being careful to be as quite as possible knowing the light-sleeping neko-jin lay in the bed across the room. When my feet hit the floor however I knew my stealth was shot. Twin amber pools glanced up catching sight of me without having to wait to adjust to the darkness.
The owner of the amber eyes sat up in his bed. "Another nightmare?" I had stopped keeping them secret from the neko-jin a little over a year ago since we always shared hotel rooms and he was always such a light sleeper. With a slight nod I stood up and threw on some jeans.
The neko-jin grabbed a hair-band from the table and penned back his long raven locks. "Walk?" He asked. I shook my head once again without looking at him. At one point he would just ask if I was going for a walk but after I came back bloodied up he started going with me.
After throwing on my scarf I glanced over my shoulder. "Ready?" I asked, he threw on a deep red Chinese style shirt over some black pants and walked beside me. "Yeah let's go," We walked out the door of the nice hotel. It was mid-September and Moscow was already a sheet of white.
We walked towards the park not a word shared between us, as it normally was; we never talked until we got to the park. I don't know why we did that, but we did. The street lights providing little light on the moonless night. The night was so similar to how it was five years ago I felt like I had stepped back in time. If only I could, step back in time and change everything that had happened on this very night five years ago.
The lake came into view as we traveled up the snow covered way. The night air ruffled up my hair, blowing my slate bangs in front of my eyes. When we got to the park I kept my eyes down, following the foot prints left by some previous person. I walked over the bridge stopping in the center of the frozen wasteland. I thought back six years to the first time I walked over this very bridge, to the person who had brought me here and I felt more alone then I had in years. "So,"
A voice cut into my recollection, I looked up as amber eyes staring back into my crimson ones. Maybe I wasn't quite as alone as I felt. The neko-jin leaned onto the guardrail, not looking at me. "Do you want to talk about your dream?" I leaned back against the rail looking at the water on the opposite side of the bridge. I didn't respond to the question which was my way of saying no.
The breeze began to pick up as morning got closer to breaking. We always made it back before anyone knew we were gone so I wasn't worried. The snow began to fall again as we stood in silence. "Hey punks come here!" I rolled my eyes, thugs or should I say wanna-be-thugs. For the last week it seemed that a new group of these thugs had tried to mess with us.
My friend stood up straight. "Get lost." He said and I stood up beside him. "Give it up Rei they aren't worth it." Rei glanced at me before nodding in agreement. "I said come here you freaks." I turned around, man did I ever hate punks. The lead guy stood there like he was the king of the world. He was in his late twenties with dirty blond hair that had the tips died teal, his emerald eyes flashing in as the early morning sun reflected off them.
"Kai," Rei said warily seeing the anger flare up in my eyes. "Excuse me?" I said hoping these wanna-be's would get the message. The lead guy snorted, did I mention how much I hated punks. "I said come here. But if you are going to be like that you can just leave your valuables with the hot thing beside you and go." What the fuck was wrong with this guy. I glanced over at Rei who had paled at the guys comment. "Fuck off." I said before turning around to find they had surrounded us.
The lead wanna-be started walking towards us flashing one of those smiles that said, got you. "Maybe you didn't hear me I said leave your things with hot stuff beside you and get lost." Anger flared up in my gut, first off no one told me what to do and second of whatever this sick pervert had in mind for Rei there was no way I was going to let him do it. Rei tensed beside me as the man got closer.
"Come on, you know you want to play with us you-" Before he could finish with his sick thought I rammed into his stomach with my fist, sneering down with satisfaction, it didn't last long however. My action sent his wanna-be followers into a frenzy. With their leader down however Rei became animated again. Helping me take the wanna-be's down one at a time. I was so wrapped up in my fight with my guys that I didn't notice that the lead punk had managed to get himself to his feet. "Stop right there!"
I stopped where I was not bothering turning around. "Turn around." I did as he said. When I turned my suspicions were confirmed. The lead wanna-be had drawn a gun and pinned Rei to the ground, the gun pressed up against his jaw. The leader was sitting on Rei, penning his arms under him, as to make sure Rei couldn't fight back. Even though Rei was strong there was no way he could get away from a man twice his size, who had by far the upper hand. "Now drop your valuables and get out of here." I pulled my wallet from my pocket and dropped it at the man's feet. "Please I know you little losers always have blades." I ground my teeth as I pulled Dranzer from my other pocket and threw it by my wallet.
"Search him and if you were holding anything back. Your friend is going to get a hole put right through his gorgeous face." I got ticked off all over again, as the wanna-be's started searching me. One of them pulled my scarf back and smiled. What could he have found? "Hey boss, look at this." He pulled something from around my neck, a silver pendent with a deep red gem in the middle of it, shit I had forgotten about that.
The lead guy smiled as he shifted his weight from Rei's back to his shoulders. "Bad boy, holding back when your friend's life is at stake. I guess you don't appreciate having someone by your side, so I'll correct that over sight of yours." Rei tried to struggle as the man dug the gun into soft skin under Rei's throat. Fear began to control my actions before my brain could processes what was happening. I pushed past the men that had surrounded me. When I was only a few steps away the man smiled. "Got you." He turned the gun far before I realized what had happened. I felt the bullet enter my body in a burst of pain as the metal ripped through the flesh on my chest.
"Kai!" I heard a voice scream. I fell to my knees, no longer being able to breathe. My arms soon gave away and I was face down in the snow. A hand grabbed my head and pulled it from the snow, flipping me onto my back. Amber eyes staring into mine, I gasped for breath. "You idiot," I heard him whisper as he ran his hand over the hole in my chest. "Don't think you are off the hook just yet, kitten." I saw the man standing above us, the barrel of the gun aimed right at my head.
Rei turned around his golden eyes sliting in rage. "Damn you!" He lunged at the man but was soon over powered as the man brought the butt of the gun down on the Neko-jin's head. The wanna-be leader picked Rei up and threw him over his shoulder before tossing something's into the snow next to my head. "You can have those." The man chuckled. As he turned with Rei, I looked down at the snow beside my head. Dranzer, my wallet, even my pendent all had been returned, all but the one thing that truly mattered Rei.
