WR: ok then, here we are, at the beginning of the third and final volume to the True Colours Trilogy…. Meh.. I personally think it will suck, but who am I to pass judgement eh? Ok well cracks knuckles I think I may JUST be able to work in some Tala-messing-stuff-up-again chapters. Time to type….
The dawning of the morning, and the setting of the sun are often the most beautiful things to be seen with ones own two eyes. The sky stained a glorious pink, streaked through with a delicate but intoxicating orange, tiny, light clouds skimming happily across the vista. A beautiful day. A month ago, she could have sat and stared out of her window for hours, and wept at the sheer beauty of it. Sight was a gift that she so cherished… how had she managed to live without it? But now, she merely glanced out at the sky, before turning away and crossing the room to the other inhabitant.
Kai sat, his chin in his hand. He wasn't looking at her. He resented these lessons. He hated being told who he was, he didn't trust any of them, and made it perfectly clear. He pointedly kept his eyes trained on a particularly interesting area of the desk as she sat down opposite him.
Every day was a new heart break for Hael. Not only did he not remember her at all, but he hated her, along with all the other staff in the Abbey. Kai had woken up three weeks ago. The shot to his chest had caused such agony and trauma to him that his mind had totally blocked all prior knowledge from his mind. He had not even known his name. For the last two weeks Hael had been teaching him about his past life, hoping, desperately that he would somehow remember. She had wept herself to sleep every night since these sessions started. His resentment tore into her.
"Ok Kai, can you remember what we were talking about yesterday?" She asked levelly.
"Yes." He snapped back. "You were telling me about my grandparents."
"That's right, and today we are moving on and I'm going to talk to you about your mother and father." She said, drawing out a piece of paper with a large family tree on it.
"Ok, your father; was named Dimitri Hiwatari, he…."
"Why should I believe all this?" Kai suddenly interrupted. "I don't see any reason why I should trust you people. Besides, why is it always you? Someone who doesn't need to look all this stuff up should be teaching me! Not you! You say you knew me but if that was true then you wouldn't have to research me!" he waved a hand at the family tree and the other various pieces of paper on the desk between them.
Hael swallowed with difficulty, and forced the ache in her throat back down, and looked at him.
"I did know you Kai, I just didn't know your family!" She said.
Kai stood up.
"Liar! If you did then you surely would have known my parents too!"
Hael also stood slamming her hands down on the desk
"I didn't know your parents Kai! And nor did you! They died when you were three!"
Kai blinked and slowly sat back down. He stared once again at that spot on the table. Trembling, Hael lowered herself back into her chair, and took a deep breath, and continued to talk to Kai about his father and his accomplishments.
The rest of that morning went quite smoothly. Kai seemed to be a little shocked to learn that he was an orphan. Hael was able to tell him about his father, and abut his mother, and about how they were both found dead, it was assumed that they had committed suicide, by taking poison, and as there was no evidence to suggest differently, the case had been closed. She looked across at him.
"You were brought here to live with your grandfather, and raised and trained as a beyblader." She said. "But We'll move onto that tomorrow."
He glanced up at her.
"I… I'm a beyblader?" he asked, his eyes wide.
She sighed and nodded.
"Yes, but like I said, We will get to that tomorrow." She said, standing up and cracking her back . Kai also stood, and grabbed her hand.
"Can't we talk about it now?" There was a light of keen interest in his eyes. But she frowned at him.
"Oh so now you want to talk? No Kai, I'm hungry, and you need to get some lunch too. This afternoon you can do what you like." She said tugging her hand from his.
Instantly his expression turned sour again.
"Do what I like? Hah! That's a fucking joke! I'm not even allowed to leave this damned building!" He snarled, glaring hatefully at her.
Her heart ached for him, and his words stung her painfully, but she resolved herself to stride past him and out of the door. However as soon as she was out of sight she turned and ran back to her quarters, trying to keep her sobs as quiet as she could.
Kai did not go to lunch, instead he did what he did whenever he had a spare moment on his hands. He went to research what he had learned that day on the internet, ensuring that all he had been told was true. But today, instead of typing in Dimitri or Anita Hiwatari, he typed in; Kai Hiwatari Beyblading.
If he really had been a beyblader then he wanted to know as much as he could about it! He didn't trust that girl, the way she looked at him when she thought he wasn't watching… she stared at him with something not unlike longing. He pushed her from his mind, he'd get to the bottom of that mystery another time…
His mouth fell open as the screen popped up with the results from his search on it…
Kai Hiwatari – wins beyblade tournament
Hiwarati beyblading victory
Kai – Beyblading Champion
Kai Hiwatari and Tala Valkov win double team beyblading
He clicked this one and a picture was flashed up. He stood beside a tall red haired boy, they were both clearly around 17. The red head had his arms in the air, a smug expression on his face, the boy who was clearly him stood smirking, holding an impressive looking blade in his hands…
Going back Kai typed in; Tala Valkov.
Almost instantly many results came up, the first one of which was: Valkov donates money to Kinyonova fund.
Kai frowned… Kinyonova… that was Hael's name. He clicked it out of curiosity.. what did Hael have to do with all of this? Hael had constantly told him that she knew him, and knew him well, but he had not yet told him exactly in what way she had known him, telling him that they would get around to that in good time. Well, if he could get around to it now, then all the better for him.
A newspaper article appeared on the screen, and he leaned forward and began to read.
"…. Blind from birth, Hael Kinyonova now has an amazing chance. With the generous donation from Tala Valkov (former beyblading champion), an eye transplant operation can finally go ahead. The final arrangements were made last night, when Kai Hiwitari, president, and owner of the Biovault Corp. in Moscow offered up its facilities free of charge to the Kinyonova family. Hael, (picture to the left) attended the same high school as both Kai and Tala, perhaps this is the reason behind their charitable donations. A camera crew will be following the progress made in the Biovault Abbey, as this is the first time an operation of this magnitude will be being attempted. Our reporter managed to get a few words with Miss. Kinyonova. "Of course I'm nervous…. But I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain." She told our man, "It will be worth it if the operation is successful. I'll finally be able to look into the eyes of my friends and family." The man who made this all possible, will be accompanying Miss. Kinyonova to the Biovault Corp. the very place he grew up with Kai Hiwitari, although there are suspicions that Tala is not only visiting his old home. Hael Kinyonova and Tala Valkov have been seen on many occasions together …."
Kai stopped reading, his mind reeling with shock. None of this made sense…. Hael had been blind! And This person called Tala…. Where was he now? At least it was clear where he knew Hael from. He had clearly been friends with her in High School. But he looked at the picture to the left of the article…. It was a younger Hael, and he screwed up his face at what he saw… her eyes were the most noticeably different thing, a slate grey… almost platinum.. clashing horribly with her hair. Her clothes looked bad too, unflattering for such a good figure… He blinked, he hadn't really noticed it before.. but she really did have good curves… all in all, she looked quite ugly in that photograph. He frowned and thought about it. Perhaps it was because she had been his teacher, of sorts, but he had always thought of her as older than himself, and had never looked at her as an available woman, always spending his lessons with her glaring at the desk between them. He sighed and turned off the computer. It seemed what she had said was true, she had known him… for years. He smirked… did those lessons really have to be so dull? In fact, he was rather in the mood for another lesson right now…..
Hael scrubbed at her eyes, someone was knocking at her door, it would probably be Dane, and she hated it when he saw she was upset. He would get into one of his protective "big-brother" moods, and she didn't want to deal with that right now.
"Just a second." She called out.
She went to the mirror and quickly checked her reflection… her eyes weren't too puffy that she could tell. She then turned to face the door, and her brother. She took a breath and opened it, ready for whatever stood on the other, side. Or at least, she assumed she was.
"K-Kai.. what are you ….?" She trailed off. There was something different about him. He had a strange glint in his eyes, and a barely noticeable smirk upon his face. She managed to pull herself together, and wiped the shocked expression from her face.
"What do you want Kai?" She asked slowly.
At her question he broke out into one of the only grins she had ever seen him pull. He reached out and grabbed her hand.
"Cummon, I'm in the mood for …. A little… adventure."
WR: and that's where I leave you. Updates are gonna be slow, but, in the future there will be many tests and trials… mainly on Hael, other women, and Tala will definitely play a part too.
