Beginning

Ok, that's it! My first Fan Fic ever!!! I really hope you guys like it, it's a LONG start and it's all about Kai, Kai and... Kai. The next chapter will be mostly on Kai too - I'm a girl, what can I do... I already know how the story will end and how some chapters of the middle will go on, but I just don't know how to link them! Ideas are more then welcome. I must also say, I've never seen any of the Beyblade V-Force or G-Rev episodes, so if I make a reference to something about those series and it's wrong, my apologies. All the reviews are more than welcome (that means PLEASE, REVIEW! :-)Oh, and by the way, I will only say this once:

Disclamer: I do not own any of the BEYBLADE characters (buáááá!!!!!), but I do own my own characters!

Chapter One

One year had passed since he met the Blade Breakers for the last time. He was now 16 years old, almost 17; you couldn't tell by his looks. He had always had a strong body and tough looks. Bio-Volt had assured that, and due to the things he had gone through, he was always forced to act and react like an adult. Kai Hiwatary was sitting by the window sill, one leg on the ground and another on the sill, his hands around them. He could see all the way down the dirty street. He was now moving around, from a cheap motel to another. He had to keep it low, Voltaire and Boris had been freed from their accusations. His grandfather's money and power were still too much of a threat. Kai knew he wouldn't give up his plans, and he still needed him, not to mention Voltaire who would surely want some payback. After all, his plans to rule the world were being crushed by his own grandson and after that BEGA thing with Boris...

Kai was lost in his thoughts when something caught his mind: down in the street he heard a cry. A little boy had fallen down on the ground and was crying. "Oh. Mike, don't cry sweat heart! Mommy is here!" the blond lady said to her son. Kai laughed, since he now remembered he had always been at the abbey. From his early years, he had been trained to be a conquering machine, without feelings what so ever.

He couldn't fail, if he fell down, he would have to stand up, alone. And if he ever dared complain, even a simple "ouch", a small whip would hit his back. Kai couldn't even remember if he had ever cried. He remembered once, a few months before the Black Dranzer incident, he had disobeyed a direct order from Boris. He wanted him to punish a little kid before he was left to death inside Bio-Volt. But a little voice, a glimpse of Humanity cried out in Kai's heart. He wouldn't do it. The reprimand was painful. Kai was tied up by his little fists and ancles and a jet of water hit his back. But Kai would say nothing. He was subject to the same treatment as the older students and then, the whip came. Boris was testing him. But Kai wouldn't let him have it, he wouldn't let him make fun of him! He was in great pain. Not even older students could hold it that long. But Kai did. Boris was getting upset. He was getting ready for the next stage of the punishment, but Kai was saved by an emergency call from one of the testing laboratories. Boris minions took him back to his dormitory and no bandages what so ever were applied to Kai's bleeding back.

A cold chill went down his spine as he remembered. Sometimes, he wished he was still a puppet in his grandfather's hand. The truth was hard to accept, even for him, Great Kai Hiwatari, the lonely Kai, the cold Kai, the serious Kai. Finally, the lone wolf was cracking under the weight of his painful existence.

"What am I going to do?", he thought. He couldn't show himself much, and he had to survive on something. He couldn't clean dishes and cook meals in exchange for a bed for the rest of his life! He could easily pass prep school and high school, but he was still a minor and had to give a name, relatives' contact and settle down somewhere - Voltaire would find him and eventually catch him in his web again. But this time, his friends wouldn't be there to rescue him back. "Funny, who would ever think I would really miss those jerks so much"

Kai was lost in his thoughts when he sensed someone approaching. He stood up immediately and reached for his pocket. "Kenishi?" an old woman's cranky voice asked Kai rested and his hand released his launcher as the old lady entered the chamber. "Kenishi", she said "I've told you already, when you came here asking for a bed, all you had to do was washing the dishes and clean the garden. You don't have to clean the house, cook meals or fix broken appliances, my dear!" (Kai was very good at fixing things) "That's alright, ma'am, I don't mind. Besides, if I don't do something, I'll bore to death" Kai answered, laughing inside, wondering how the old lady would react if she knew his name wasn't Kenishi. "I appreciate that, thank you Kenishi, but you don't have to do those things, and if you are bored, why don't you play that game of yours?" "What game?" Kai asked "The one with the spinning tops, I've noticed you have one of those things"

Kai stared at her. How could she know that he had Dranzer with him? He always carried both Dranzers with him, he wouldn't show them up, even when he was alone, always afraid someone might recognise him, which was somewhat stupid, since he still used the blue sharp face paints and the same type of intimidating, cool clothing. But he was not in Japan, so it wasn't so easy to recognise him. Through the last year, he had been in China (where he had to stop himself from trying to see Ray - "since when do I care so much for that guy?"), India, Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Portugal and now he was in England. He would walk to some of these places; to the others, he would have to catch a boat - if he could pay for it, fine, if not. let's just say Kai could be really sneaky and agile.

"Kenishi?" "I like to play alone, and if I go onto the street, kids like to challenge me" "Why don't you use the cliff? Kids don't go there and you can be alone. All you have to do is ride down the street and follow the garden onto the seashore. Walk a bit and you'll find the cliff" "Thank you, Mrs Tompson" Kai thanked. She walked out of the room, but before closing the door she said: "You should't be alone, Kenishi. It's not healthy, you don't even have fun, you're always sitting there, thinking to yourself. At least have fun, Kenishi, go play to the cliff" She walked out of the room before Kai could digest her words.

"She's a nice old lady. I think she's like grandmother" Kai thought. He was told his grandmother died long before he was born, and one day, when he was home, he asked about her to the oldest employee of the mansion, Jigen, the butler. His grandfather had always forbidden him from asking about his mother and father, but he never complained about her. Jigen said she was a very nice and kind lady. Her parents didn't want her to marry Voltaire, although he was very rich and influent. She had married him for love. "How can someone love that monster?" Kai angrily thought "he can't even show feelings? Many people over my life accused me of not having feelings and being the coldest person they ever met. Obviously, they never met my grandfather. He never cared for me. To think that I actually liked him! How could I be so naïve, I should have noticed things before!"

Kai leaned down from window and crashed onto the bed. He was beginning to fall asleep, when he heard something fall to the ground and break. Kai rushed onto the source of the sound. "Mrs Tompson, are you okay?" he asked. "Oh! Kenishi, yes I'm fine, I'm fine. I left the tea tray fall down" she said, as she ducked to catch the pieces, but Kai was faster. "Oh, thank you dear. I'm not feeling very well, I think I will lie down for a while" she complained "Maybe you should Ma'am", Kai replied. She walked out of the kitchen and Kai finished cleaning up the craked pieces. Suddenly, he noticed the kitchen was different. There were new appliances and there was a celular phone, where the old telephone used to be.

"When I first came here, she told me she couldn't pay for services and that her retirement pension was very low, and she couldn't pay for my services. Now she bought all these new stuff. She's very nice and sweet, and I have a strange tendency to rely on her, trust her. Maybe it's time to leave again, soon." Kai thought.

Night came and Kai couldn't fall asleep. He decided to go for a walk. He used to do bodybuilding, because a strong blader dindn't consist only of a good blade, bit-beast and knowledge; a good blader also needed to be a strong blader - both physically and psychologically. Now, his bodybuilding consisted of walking for hours from city to city. He walked down the street.

Suddenly, he realised he was going in the direction of the cliff, so he decided to go and take a peak. Finding the cliff wasn't so easy as Mrs Tompsom made it look! It stood behind a dense bush. How could something like that exist in the middle of London? Kai found his way onto the end of the cliff. It was high and a little sharp, and it wasn't easy to climb down, that for sure! Mrs Tompsom was rigth: there was no one there! Kai walked to the edge of the cliff and sat down. Suddenly, he realised there was a large beach below him and a dirt road around the cliff that led down to it.

About 100 feet from the bottom of the cliff there was a small fire lit up. A black motorcycle and its black-dressed biker were next to it. Kai wouldn't distinguish between them at all if it weren't for the fire, and the biker was with his helmet on and his back towards Kai, so Kai couldn't see him clearly. Then again, who cared?

Kai looked up onto the sky and scooped a night bird. Kai's mind started flying away with the bird, up onto the stars. Kai was lost in the emptiness of his thoughts, again, when something brought him back to Earth: a sound, like leaves gently swaying in the breeze. Strange, there was no wind. "Maybe an animal?", Kai thought, as he quickly turned around and stood on his feet. Great timing! No, it wasn't an animal. It was a large bunch of armed bullies. While Kai was distracted with his thoughts, they surrounded him from all sides, blocking his escape.

"So much for the element of surprise! I told you idiots to be quiet!" the leader cried out loud. "Well, Kai Hiwatari, come with us now or suffer the consequences!" Kai posted a smirk "What's so funny?" the man asked "You. You're the fourth idiot to tell me that, and I'm still here. Feeling lucky, big boy?" Kai joked "Yes, I am" he shouted. Kai looked at him with his trademark death glare. "Do you wanna know why?", he asked, while his hands looked for something. Kai antecipated his move. He swang his hand onto his pocket, removed the laucher, with Dranzer's blade attached and posted himself on lauching position. Meanwhile, the predictable bully eventually found what he was looking for. "This is why I feel lucky!", he shouted as he showed out a brand new altered HK machine gun, loaded with darts. His men followed him.

Kai waged his odds. 15 guys with 15 armed heavy automated HK machine guns aiming at him, blocking his way out of there. But would they dare shoot at him? Kai was very resistent, the dosis had to be elephant sise! If several darts hitted him, he would certainly die.

"Go ahead, shoot! I sure would like to see you explain that to the big guys!" The leader swallowed hard. Kai was rigth, they wanted him alive, but they couldn't let him escape. "Come or suffer the consequences!" "Never! I shall not be a puppet in my grandfather's hand again" The bullies looked at one another. Why were they doing that?

"Don't be stupid! There's no way out! Give yourself up! You can't escape your fate! This is what you were made for, don't deny it! We're stronger than ever, you shall not escape Kai! Think, why are you on the loose? Because we're so powerful. you know you can't escape. With our new fr. Well, we'll finish the sentence once you return with us and see what's waiting for you. Come, now!"

Kai turned his face and fixed his eyes on the leader's. A drop of sweat descended his face.

Kai closed his eyes, thinking. The man was rigth, he already knew that. He wouldn't escape, not this time. Dranzer was very fast; but no beyblade was faster than 15 machine guns. But he wouldn't go down without a fight. Then it hit him! "If I can't go forward, then I'll go down! These jerks are too obsolete to follow me down", Kai thought

"So, what's it gonna be?" the leader insisted

With his eyes closed, Kai lowered his guard. Swifly, he gave one step forward.

"Good" the man said" you're smarter than I thought"

Kai threw Dranzer back to his pocket and stared at the leader's eyes. He posted another smirk and rose his left hand.

"Bye" he waved as he turned back and took a running jump to the edge of the cliff. He started sprinting down as a very confused and upset voice shouted "DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE, you idiots!!!"

They went to the edge of the cliff and started aiming at him, missing every single shot, as he swifly avoided them, jumping with the strength of a wolf and grace of a wild cat.

Meanwhile, down at the beach, a very confusing black-and-orange-dressed biker (now you can see him better!) looks up as someone screams and a guy jumps down the sharp cliff. The biker stands up, then looks up again and realises the guy descending isn't doing it for "fun"- he's escaping a bunch of armed bullies shooting at him! Sensing the leftovers for himself, the biker jumps onto the black bike (there is a panther drawn on the rigth side) and disappears into the nigth.

Kai reached down and looked up. Some of the bullies are still aiming, but the rest of them are gone.

"Where are they?" Kai wondered. The answer was fast and Kai wished he hadn't asked. They were turning around the cliff, descending the dirt road on top of their bikes. "Oh boy, now I really am in trouble!" Kai thought as he started running faster and faster. (Gee, he's gonna win the Gold Medal!)

The bullies were getting closer and started screaming, threatening Kai, warning they would shoot unless he stopped. And so they did. Kai fell down, as a painful dart hit his left leg and the soporiferous started spreading. Another hit scratched his shoulder, and blood was pouring out of it.

Kai was losing his way. He heard the bikes approching from the back, but now, he was hearing them from forward too! Kai looked up and the last thing he saw before losing his senses was the biker pulling him up onto his bike, while the bullies were screaming indecipherable words.

"Friend or enemy?" was Kay's last thought.
