Lil' Info for the story::Takes place after Russian Tournament, the BladeBreakers are back in Japan. Voltaire and Boris got out of jail and want revenge, they're back in Japan to get back at Kai. Tala stowed away on the same plane that Kai was on when he left Russia. Now the redhead's in Japan.

In MttL Tala's last name was 'Valkov'. But I changed it in this because it sounds too much like 'Balkov'.

Ages::

Kai Hiwatari:: 16

Tala Ivanov:: 17

Tyson Granger:: 14

Max Tate:: 14

Kenny Shizuka(don't remember his last name):: 13

Boris Balkov:: ancient history

Voltaire Hiwatari:: ancient-er history

((Notice that Rei's not in it. I don't have anything against the Neko- shounen but he wouldn't fit correctly into this story. The LotR people might think he's a demon cuz of his weird, yellow eyes and sharp, fang-like teeth.))

Chapter 1:: Wandering and Wounded

Kai was trapped between the wall and his blood thirsty grandfather as the older man neared. Kai's crimson eyes flashed with fear as he raised his arms up to block his face as the punches rained down on his arms, chest, and stomach. Kai was slammed against the wall, his head crashed back against the hard, cold wall and was accompanied by a sickening 'crack'. A second snap came as Voltaire's hand twisted Kai's arm at a rough angle and broke the teen's arm at the elbow. Kai cried out in pain as the beating continued.

Screams of pain and agony filled the air as the servents in the mansion stopped to mourn for their sixteen year old master. The men shook their heads in grief as they mumbled Japanese prayers for the teen. The women dried their tears the best they could as quickly as possible.

"He's only a child..." "This isn't his fault. The Demolition Boys didn't lose because of him..." "This is so wrong, he just recovered from a beating..." "Why would anyone do that to their own flesh and blood?...."

Words were whispered as the screams came to a halt. A sudden 'thud' came as the bloodcurdling screams stopped. The mansion grew deadly silent.

The servents quickly returned to their jobs as the master of the mansion came down the hall with a smug look on his face. Crimson blood stained his clothes. A purple haired man came along side him and whispered to the older man.

~~~~

Back in his room, Kai lay on the floor on his stomach. His head tilted to the side as his gray bangs shadowed his glazed over eyes that held a death- like, blank expression. His pale skin contrasted greatly with the dark blood that dripped from his mouth and nose as his broken arm bled greatly. A clock on the dresser shown bright red as the numbers changed from 6:59AM to 7:00AM. This was a typical way for Kai's mornings to begin.

~~~~

"Tyson!" The said boy's grandfather flung the bedroom door open. Tyson was still fast asleep with his arms and legs out in all directions across the futon*. Drool crusted the boys lips and chin as he snored loudly."Wake up lil' G-Dude! You got to get up if you wanna meet with those homies of yours to celebrate that rocking win in Russia."

Tyson stirred but didn't wake. His grandfather brought his bamboo, Kendo sword from behind his back. He raised the Shinai** above his head and smacked the floor near his grandson's head trying to wake the boy.

Nothing happened. Mr. Granger snapped his fingers at the idea that sprang into his head.

"Oh no. All the food was eaten by the Dreaded BanderSnatch***." The older man jumped back when Tyson shot up.

"Where?! I'll kill it!" Tyson growled as he saw his grandfather. The elder broke out into a laughing fit as his grandson realised it was only his grandfather's joking."Oh, are you the Dreaded BanderSnatch? Don't do that to me! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Your little homie Max called and he is gonna be here in a few hours to celebrate. Go get ready then get breakfast." Mr. Granger bit his tongue when he realised what he said.

"Can't I just have breakfast _before_ I get dressed?" Tyson pleaded.

"No. Dressed first. Breakfast later." The older man turned and left the room not noticing his grandson's smirk. Tyson pulled a bar of chocolate from his dresser drawer.

"Don't you dare eat that, Tyson! Bring it down with you when you're dressed!" His grandfather called from the kitchen.

"'Don't you dare eat that!' Hmph, no fair. I'm hungry. Stupid old man." Tyson sulked and put it on his dresser as he got out his clothes.

"I heard that!" Mr. Granger called back as he caught the remark.

~~~~

"Thanks Mom.... I love you too.... bye....." Max hung up the phone."Hey Dad! Mom called, she says hi."

Max slid into the kitchen in his socks. His father stood at the stove as Max slipped around the corner of the kitchen island. His father spun around with a plate of pancakes in his hand and grabbed his fair-haired son before he could hurt himself on the counter as he slipped again and began to fall.

"Careful there, kid. Don't want you in the hospital before you can celebrate your win. Here, eat your food and get ready. I'll drop you off at Tyson's in a few hours. Don't want you to be hurt." Mr. Tate placed the plate at the marble topped island and noogied his son before plopping the boy into his seat.

"Thanks Dad." Max grabbed his fork and the syrup. He drowned the pancakes in the gooie, sticky syrup before cutting into them with his fork.

"No problem, Max." His father smiled and returned to the stove to finish making his own breakfast.

~~~~

"Kenneth. Are you up yet, dear?" A curly haired women peeked into her son's room to see the boy on his bed with his beloved laptop."Oh good, you are. Get ready to go, I have to drop you off at you little friend, Tyson's, house in an hour."

"Yes mother." Kenny answered as he looked up.

With that the woman smiled and left her son to his laptop.

"Hey Chief, where are we going again?" Dizzi buzzed from the speakers on the laptop.

"We're going to Tyson's to celebrate the big win in Russia, remember?" Chief placed his computer on his dresser as he hopped off his bed to get dressed.

"Oh yeah. Who's gonna be there?" Dizzi chirped.

"Everyone, well except Rei. He's sick, he caught the flu while we were in Russia. He doesn't want us to get it so he's gonna stay home." Kenny slipped out of his pajama top.

"Poor cat. Maybe we should send him a get well gift, like maybe a bag of Meow-Mix." Dizzi joked.

"Your food's getting cold!" Kenny's mother called from downstairs.

"Not now, Dizzi. I have to go eat and you need to take some time to charge." Kenny plugged his computer into an outlet in the wall.

"See ya in a bit, Chief." Dizzi said as Kenny shut the laptop's lid to keep it from snapping off in case it fell from the dresser.

"Bye Dizzi." Kenny left the room and shut the door.

~~~~

"Unnn....." Kai blinked his eyes as he tried to focus on the clock. The numbers were a red blur as he lay there on the cold floor. Another red blur came into view, but this one was a bit bigger."Tala?"

"Yep, how'd you know it was me?" Tala helped Kai sit up.

"You're the only person I know with hair that red." Kai chuckled. He hissed as his broken arm was moved.

"Yeah, that could be it. How are you feeling, brother?" Tala watched as his brother shifted as he sat against the dresser. He knelt beside the blue haired boy.

"Like crap. How'd yet get in, you know, past my grandfather and his guards?" Kai rubbed his head with his good arm.

"That's for me to know and you to find out." Tala looked at the door in horror as loud footsteps came nearer to the door."You can find out now."

Tala jumped to his feet and helped Kai up. The wounded teen's legs crumpled beneath him gaining a groan from Kai.

"Come on. You've gotta get up, Voltaire's coming back." Tala pulled him up again and let Kai lean against him.

"It hurts so much. I can't stand. Get out of here or else he'll hurt you too." Kai pleaded with the older boy. His brother looked at him with icy blue eyes.

"I won't leave you. I won't let my brother be beaten by that monster again. You've suffered too much." Tala lifted Kai off the ground. He was shocked at how light the boy was, Kai was sixteen and he weighed an unhealthy weight for a teen his age.

~~~~

Voltaire opened his grandson's door and walked in. Shock written all over his face as he saw no one in the room. It was completely empty of all human life.

"Where is he?" Voltaire glared as he looked around once more."He was too injured to walk so if he escaped he couldn't have gotten far."

"Boris! Send out Zennith and Cole! Have them find my ignorant grandson!" With that, Voltaire left the room, slamming the door.

~~~~

Tala ran as fast as he could as he carried Kai on his back. His brother started to go limp. The sun was up and bright but they ran through the forest that lined and hide the large, haunting mansion.

"Kai?" Tala shook his shoulder to see if his brother was asleep.

"Ummm...." Kai's half lidded eyes looked up and he rested his chin on his brother's shoulder.

"Stay awake. Don't go to sleep." Tala had his arms wrapped under Kai's knees as the blue haired boy's legs fell limp over Tala's arms. Kai had his arms wrapped around his neck to keep from falling from his brother's back. He was still running.

"But, I'm so tired...." Kai was losing it, he had lost enough blood to make him dizzy and sleepy."Just...just a few minutes...."

"Kai? Don't you dare!" Tala felt Kai go completely limp against his back."This is gonna make it harder to run."

Kai started to mutter in his sleep, but it wasn't in any language the Tala had ever heard.

'Mellon' was the only word that Tala caught. Kai's eyes shot open as he continued to speak in the foreign language. His eyes were open but he didn't see Tala or anything in their world. He was seeing a different world all together. Kai said one thing in english as he broke from his trance- like state.

"They are coming." Kai went limp again and his head tilted to the side as his eyes rolled back.

Behind him, Tala could hear yelling as two people ran after them.

"Oh no." Tala reconised the voices as Voltaire's guards. The old man had sent them to track down and get Kai back.

~~~~

"Come out, boy. We know you're here." The tallest and strongest of the two guards sneered.

"Do we really have to bring him back _alive_? Why not have some fun and then we'll take him back." A shorter man greedily fingered his gun."We should be allowed to have some fun, Zennith."

"Shut it, Cole." Zennith went back to calling for Kai."Where are you? Come out, come out where ever you are."

~~~~

Tala jumped into the tree above his head, Kai still unconscious on his back. Kai stirred.

"Wha..." Before Kai could finish, a hand shot over his mouth.

"Shh..." Tala pointed to the guards below.

Kai mouthed the word 'oh' and shut his mouth as Tala set him down on a thick tree branch. He almost groaned in pain as his broken arm bumped against the tree.

~~~~

"Where could that brat be? We've been looking for ever." Cole groaned and leaned against a thick tree.

"Stop your blubberin'. We'll find him or else Hiwatari-sama**** will have our heads." Zennith growled, his back was turned to his partner.

"Ugh...this boy is a good hider, even when he's injured." Cole looked up and saw a bush of red against the brown tree bark. Before he could call for his buddy, the white clad blader jumped from the tree and elbowed him in the head, he did the same to Zennith. Tala's elbows ached, but both guards were laid out on the ground, and when they came to they'd be deprived of their short-term memory.

~~~~

Kai watched the scene play out before his eyes. Tala was being merciful and simply knocked them out cold.

Tala jumped back up, leaving their brains (or lack thereof) to rot.

"Can you walk now? We won't have anyone following us." Tala asked, kneeling next to the blue haired boy.

"Yeah, I'll walk." Kai slowly stood up, staggering a bit as he grew dizzy again. He started to mumble in the different tongue once more as he fell forward.

"Umm...Kai?" Tala caught his brother as the younger teen went limp once more."Great, just great."

~~~~

"So, what do you want to do?" Tyson asked Max and Kenny. They sat outside, sitting under the dojo's shade as the sun beat down. It was near afternoon and they had nothing to do.

"Well, we could go practice." Max suggested.

"No way! Since Kai's not around, we don't have to do any work. We can be lazy as long as Kai, lord of the frostbite, is gone." Tyson lay on his back.

"Fine, let's go explore the forest. I want to do something fun. Maybe, we'll run into something weird." Max joked.

"Oh man. I forgot Dizzi at home. I left her to charge and forgot to bring her." Kenny grumbled.

"That's okay, Chief. We're gonna go exploring. If you brought Dizzi, she would've gotten ruined." Tyson jumped up. He grabbed the other two by the hand and dragged them to the dojo's gate."Bye, grandpa! We'll be back later!"

"Tyson! I thought I told you to clean your room!" Mr. Granger yelled as he ran to the door. But it was too late, the boys were gone.

~~~~

Tala sat in the same tree with Kai. The other boy was still out and mumbling. But the mumbling Kai made started to gain a tune, like as if he were singing to himself. Tala couldn't make out any of the words, but the tune was soothing nonetheless. He began humming to it as he kept a look out for any more guards.

As if they hadn't gone through enough trouble already, three more guards appeared through the bushes. Tala placed a hand over Kai's mouth.

~~~~

"Where are they?! Those two were sent out hours ago!" The man, who seemed to be the leader, growled. He had slicked back, black hair and an ugly scar across the bridge of his nose."If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself. You just can't find good help these days."

"Hey, boss! Over here!" Another man waved the other two over. This man had shaggy, brown hair and a steel gray eye, the other eye had a black eye patch covering it."Looks like someone was having fun."

The boss looked in the other man's direction. There lay the unconscious forms of Zennith and Cole. Boss grunted and kicked Cole's body. Cole only farted. Boss wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"Well, looks like we're dealing with a tough critter. He couldn't have done this with the injuries he had." The third man's voice was boyish. His dull, orange hair sticking out on all sides. Child-like green eyes scanned his surroundings. He caught site of Tala as he looked around once more."Hey! Over there!"

~~~~

"How much longer?!" Tyson whined as they walked through the forest. Max was ahead of them as he ran and sat down on a rock.

"We're almost there." Max flicked a pebble off of the rock.

"I wish I had Dizzi." Kenny sat next to the fair-haired boy.

"Hey, I'm going over _there_!" Tyson yelled as he ran for a group of low branched trees.

Max watched as his friend ran. His bright, blue eyes widened when Tyson suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Hey, Chief?" Max looked over to where his younger friend had been sitting. The short boy was gone also."Guys?"

Max stood up, suddenly the world around him went black.

~~~~

Tala had Kai on his back once more. The boys was still out cold and muttering. He listened as the orange haired man spotted him and blew his cover.

'Dang!' Tala thought as the brown haired man jumped into the tree after him.

The man was swift for his muscular body build. He started gaining on the red head as the boy was slowed by the extra weight. The orange haired man jumped into the tree infront of him. Tala quickly turned and jumped into the tree to his left as the men followed. The boss was waiting for him a few trees down. Tala looked around before jumping down back to the ground.

Tala ran in the direction he was trying for when the other two fools tried to find his brother. He swung Kai off his back and cradled him as he ran. If he hadn't, Kai would've been at risk of getting shot in the back if the men chasing him decided to pull out their guns.

Tala pulled the scarf from Kai's neck as it got caught on a thorned bush. The white fabric tore as the men in pursuit ran past and it got caught on the one's belt, the brown haired man quickly ripped it off and left it on the ground.

It started to rain as Tala ran. The rain came down fast and hard, the men still chased him. The ground became soft and muddy, Tala slipped on the moist dirt. Catching himself before he fell, Tala kept running as the men gained on him.

Before he knew it, Tala was tackled to the ground by the boss. The brown haired minion grabbed Kai by his wet, limp hair and pulled him up. Kai's eyes snapped open, but once again he saw nothing in their world. Tala winced as a steel-toed boot kicked him in the ribs. Luckily, nothing broke. Kai began speaking again in the unknown language, his voice louder than before.

"Elbereth Gilthoniel." Kai whispered as he finish.

"Man, this kid is weird." The brown haired man dropped Kai and kicked him. An earlier wound, that had dried shut with blood, re-opened. The wound had come from Voltaire when he had beaten the teen, the old man had pulled a knife on his grandson. Blood leaked through his shirt and fell to the ground to join the mud. Kai was wet and muddy just like Tala.

Tala got another kick before the boss went over to Kai. As the boss grabbed Kai around the waist and hauled him up, Tala jumped up in a flash. Pulling his blade from his pocket, he jumped the orange haired man, who had spotted him, and slit his throat with the sharp, attack ring. The brown haired lackey jumped at him, but got a face full of fist before Tala slit his throat also. All who was left was the boss, who was taunting Kai as he hit the boy on the head. Kai's face paint was streaking as the rain beat down on his up-turned face.

"Leave him be!" Tala tackled the boss and fought with him. In the end, Tala pinned the man to the ground and ran the blade across the man's throat, killing him."See ya, scar-face."

Tala turned to Kai when he finished with the man. Blood and mud crusted Kai's shirt and arms. Bits of dirt were crushed into his now unspiked, wet, blue hair. Kai wasn't moving as blue stained, tear-like rain drops rolled down his face and fell to the ground. Tala pushed his limp, red hair out of his face.

"Kai?" Tala knelt beside his brother. He gently shook the unconscious boy. He started to wish that the other boy was talking in the weird tongue."Hey, Kai. Wake up."

He checked his brother for a pulse. He found a faint one. Kai's eyes were half lidded and looked dull and glazed over.

"Kai!?" He pulled the younger boys head onto his lap and tried to wake Kai."Don't you dare die on me! Don't leave me, brother! You're my only living family, even if I only adopted you!"

Tala held Kai's head to his chest and cried. Rocking back and forth as he ran his hand through his brother's hair.

To Tala, the world seemed to fade. All he could focus on was Kai's limp body as he tried to wake the boy. Pleading to him to stay alive, to wake up. He didn't notice as the forest and dead bodies disappeared. He didn't notice as the world they had been in vanished and was replaced by a muddy courtyard full of plants and statues. It was dark and wet as he sat on muddy stone path while he rocked his brother's body. The face paint on Kai's cheeks washed off completely.

"Please! Don't die on me! I couldn't take it if you left me! I don't want you to die, Kai. Don't leave me....brother." Tala whispered as he rested his head against Kai's shoulder and cried his heart out."Please. Don't go."
