A new story! I'm trying to update it for almost a month at last I did.
VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO LAMANTH WHO HELPED ME WITH BEDELLA!

"GET YOUR ARSES MOVING! RUN!" Kai roared. Bladebreakers had been training in front of the Tyson's dojo for five hours without even a two minutes break.
"Oww! Kai will kill us!" Tyson exclaimed dramatically.
"Tyson shut up and RUN!" Kai said yelling the last part.
"Kai, let's stop for a moment, we're dead tired!" Ray reasoned.
"I said RUN!" Kai yelled again. As soon as he said those words his mobile started to ring. He looked at the number and furrowed deeply. He ran into the dojo to answer it so Bladebreakers were free at last. The whole team leaned on the wooden door to eavesdrop but much of their dislike their captain was talking in a different language.
The door opened and a pale faced Kai came out. None of them had never seen him like that.
"Kai?" they all asked in confusion but apparently Kai wasn't listening. His eyes were fixed on the floor. They were strangely blank there was nothing in those crimson orbs. The mischievous fire burning in them was dimmed. He climbed the stairs almost like a zombie. The Bladebreakers exchanged nervous glances for a while and followed their leader to his room. He opened his wardrobe and started to shove some clothes to his duffel bag.
"Kai? Where're you going?" Ray asked confusedly.
"Russia." His voice was hollow far from his usual cold and firm tone and it worried the Bladebreakers.
"Russia? Why the hell-"
"Shut it, Tyson!" Kai commanded with a that's-the-end-of-the-argument voice. Tyson backed away under Kai's horrible death glare.
"When'll you come back? At least let us know that." Ray pleaded.
"I don't know but it won't last long." Kai replied curtly. Then he left the dojo without a word.
"What the hell was that now?" Tyson asked staring behind him.
"I don't know Ty, but he seemed so strange." Ray replied wistfully.
Kai was completely buried in his thoughts while he was getting on the next plane to Moscow. He sealed his mouth during the flight and stared out of the window, watching grey clouds. He didn't even acknowledge the stewardess who asked him if he wanted anything.
The plane landed to the cold Moscow airport. A black limousine welcomed him at the gates. "Master Kai! How long it had been!" a middle aged man with grey hair and a long moustache bowed in front of him. Kai didn't change his flawless expression. He just nodded and got on the limousine. They passed through the crowded city streets and silent country roads and at last the car stopped in front of a huge mansion which was hidden well behind high brick walls. The tall man opened the door for his young master and stretched an arm to invite him out while bowing his head respectfully.
"Welcome home, Master!" he exclaimed. Kai travelled his gaze on the building which stood proudly on the moor and mumbled.
"Home, sweet home."
He started to walk towards the gates with faint steps remaining his footprints on the white snow. A woman in her late thirties met him in front of the gates. She was quite fat. She had black hair which was tied in a messy bun with a purple ribbon and brown eyes which were brimming with tears. She was wearing a purple casual dress and plain purple shoes matching to it. There was both fear and sadness on her face. Tears were rolling down her red cheeks. Kai's face hardened as soon as he saw her. His crimson eyes blazed with fury making the woman shudder with fear.
"Ellen!" he growled angrily. "How did this happen? How could you let something like that happen? he nearly screamed. He was trembling from head to toe trying to surpass the rage growing inside him.
"Master I……." she stammered.
"Why do I pay to you?" he questioned with a harsh tone.
"I……..I didn't realise "she stuttered. It made Kai's blood boil in his veins and he couldn't surpass his anger any longer.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? IT'S YOUR JOB TO LOOK AFTER HER!" he screamed to her face. He expected her to beg for mercy or apologise over and over but to his surprise she stopped crying and faced with him. There was something unreadable in her eyes. Like mixture of anger and disappointment and somehow pity at the same time.
"My job? Isn't it yours too? She's your sister, Master. She's your own flesh and blood. Are you a good brother? Maybe you could realise her loneliness if you weren't that obsessed with beyblading." she stated with a calm but firm voice.
Kai punched the table with full force scraping his knuckles and threw the glass which stood in front of him to the wall smashing it into pieces. He got up trembling from head to toe and ran towards the library.
He didn't even bother closing the door. His unreadable gaze was fixed on the huge portrait hung on the wall in front of him. A portrait of a young couple. A man who exactly looked like him except the eyes and a woman with long silver hair and crimson eyes like his. He fell on his knees and started to talk to the ones on the portrait.
"I am sorry. I couldn't keep my promise. I couldn't protect you're her. I let her down. I'm so sorry. " he whispered and apology to his long gone parents.
He felt a familiar presence behind him and talked to the intruder.
"How ironic, isn't it Ellen? I'm one of the richest people in the world but I can't even make my sister happy."
"You shouldn't say that, Master. Life was drained from her tired soul and you gave her life back. " she said with an encouraging voice.
"No doubt how great that life I gave her was. It must be really good that she decided to end it." he said sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"Don't talk like that Master. They called from the hospital. She's awake. You should go and see her."
"I don't think I can Ellen. After not being there for her so long, I can't face her."
"She needs you Master. You're her everything, her only connection to the world. Stop blaming yourself. If there's someone to be blamed for her condition it's him. " She answered with a firm voice.
Kai eyed the portrait for the last time and got out after Ellen.
At the hospital:
Kai stood in front of the door of her room. He was trying really hard to hold his cold mask on his face. He held his tears which're threatening to be shed and took a deep breath. Ellen was right. He had to be powerful for her. He turned the knob slightly and crept inside the white hospital room.
There she was, sleeping on the white hospital bed. 'Hospital' even that word was enough to make her shudder. She always hated hospitals. He stared at her face for a while. She was sleeping like an angel. Her silver bangs were covering her pale face. He brushed the silver hair gently from her face and stared deeper. She had always reminded him of his mother and her unique beauty. Stunning but fragile at the same time like a snowflake.
Her grey orbs fluttered open and silent tears started to fall down from her cheeks.
"Bedella." Kai whispered. "I'm sorry."
Warm tears continued to stain her pale cheeks. Kai couldn't stand to see her like that and turned away to hide his tears. He tried to get out to put his cold mask on again but her pale hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him down. He sat on the edge of her bed, his crimson eyes boring into her grey ones. Her eyes were begging for him to stay.
"I'm sorry Belle. I wasn't there for you." He said guiltiness radiating from his voice. He was sure that his jaw would connect to the floor if Tyson had seen him like this.
"I'm here Belle. I won't go anywhere." He promised quietly.
Her eyelids started fall and soon she was asleep with the relief of knowing his brother was there to protect her. Kai stayed there and watched her sleeping peacefully.
"Master Kai." Elle whispered from the door.
"Yes Ellen?" he whispered back.
"I think you should bring her to Japan with you."
Kai stared at her thoughtfully for a while and answered.
"I don't know Ellen. I really don't know."
"Can't you see how much she cares for you? You can't imprison her in a mansion and just go away." She reasoned.
"She didn't meet with people for years. I don't want her to hurt."
"Living without you already hurts her Master. You're her whole world."
Kai sighed dejectedly. "I know Ellen, I know."
With that Ellen stood up from her chair and got out. Kai stared at his sister and he promised.
"I won't let you don again sister, I won't let you down again."
