Prologue

Moscow, Russia…

"Kai, shouldn't we be heading back by now? I mean, we did promise to meet the others in twenty minutes." I say.

"I know Nyru. But I want my Beyblade." my brother, Kai, responds.

"Beyblade?" I ask.

"You know that sport that all those rich kids have been playing? It's called Beyblade. I want one too." Kai says.

"Kai, we aren't rich. We're lowly street rats." I say.

"We haven't always been! We were rich once too, remember!" Kai says hotly.

"I remember Kai! But that was before the accident! The one that left me marked as inhuman. The one that everyone presumed I died in! Remember! Do you not remember that?" I say just as, if not more, hotly.

"Yeah I remember." Kai says, cooling down.

"Shh." I say.

"What is it?" Kai asks.

"Somebody's coming up the stairs." I reply.

"It must be them." Kai says.

"Didn't you say they told you to come alone?" I ask.

"Yeah, but you're my sister. You don't cause trouble." Kai replies.

I look at him with worry. Shaking my head, I whisper, "I have a really bad feeling about this."

"Hush." Kai shushes.

I listen to the banging on the stairs, the sound of people coming up them. Ducking behind Kai, I watch as slowly, one by one, the men appear. My eyes narrow as I see the insignia on their trench coats; it's the emblem of Balkov Abbey. Kai ignores me and speaks straight to the one who seems to be the leader of these thugs.

"Do you got it?" Kai asks.

"Yes." the man replies, motioning to one of his groupies. The thug responds by holding out his hand, in which I see a small top.

"Are you alone?" the man asks Kai.

"Not exactly." Kai answers.

"What do you mean 'Not exactly'?" the man says. I can see his face growing red, and I know he's mad.

"I know, I know." Kai says, raising his hands in defense. "But I brought my twin sister with me. We always stay together."

"We told you to come alone." the man says angrily. The man's face is turning purple, and a small noise excapes my throat.

"Sheesh. I didn't think you would mind. She never causes trouble." Kai says.

"She is trouble. We didn't want anyone else to see this. A'well. Get her boys." the man says.

I look at Kai, then at the men who are slowly advancing on us.

"I knew this was a bad idea!" I whisper to Kai.

"Just run." Kai whispers back.

"What about you?" I ask, worry in my voice.

"Don't worry about me. Run!" Kai whispers with a fierce undertone.

I dart away from my brother, heading towards the stairs. One of the men moves to grab me, blocking my way. I quickly dart out of his range, only to see that the stairs are now blocked. Two of the men start to approach me. I back up slowly. My foot hits a piece of wood, and I hear it slide across the floor.

Clack clack-clack clack-clack.

I hear the sound of the wood hitting the ground outside the window.

~Great. No glass.~ I think to myself.

The men slowly push me back into the window. I feel my foot hit open air. I look behind me, fear seeping into my eyes. One wrong move and I'll fall to the ground two stories below.

"Kai? Kai, help me." I whimper pleadingly.

"Hold on Nyru. I'm coming." I hear Kai say.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Kai running toward me, but my eyes are mainly fixed on the thugs in front of me. They are almost on me. I step back. I yelp in surprise, then scream.

"Kaiiii!" I scream as I fall.

"Nyruuuu!"

I can just see Kai hanging over the edge of the window, hand stretched out in an attempt to catch me. The look on his face is one of agony.

"Kaiiiiiii!" I scream again.

"Nyruuuuuuu!"

I know in my heart that his voice will be the last thing I ever hear. As I fall, I know that my life is over.

Suddenly I feel energy flowing in my body. I see white light burst from my body, and surround me. Then I hit the ground. As I do, I whisper one last time "Kai.". I know now that I'll live, and that when I wake up, I won't remember anything, let alone Kai.

Faces swim in front of me. I don't know the people, nor do I know what they are saying.

Slowly the light is fading, and with it, my memory. I grip onto the one memory that is most important to me for as long as I can- the memory of my brother. Then everything goes black, and with the coming of total darkness, my memory goes with it.

"It was amazing. We watched the entire thing. She came flying out of this window, and we both knew that if we didn't do something, she'd die. She came flying out backwards, so when she fell she hit the back of her head, but the amazing part is how she's still alive." I hear someone say.

"Ya. When she came flying out, we both knew that we couldn't reach her in time to catch her, but we had to try anyways. Halfway on our way to get her, this amazing white light just burst out of her body and surrounded her. It looked like a phoenix, ya know, but it was pure white. It stopped her from dying, but she still got hurt pretty bad." another voice says.

"We heard yelling from up in the building that she fell from. I went in to check it out, but no one was there. I remember hearing a boy's voice yelling 'Nyru.'" the first voice says.

I hear the name and it sounds familiar, but means nothing to me.

"Nyru? Did she say anything, a name perchance?" a third voice joins the conversation.

"Actually, ya, she did. She said 'Kai.' Why?" the second voice says.

I hear Kai's name and it sparks a memory. I see Kai's face for a brief moment, then it fades, and it's just a name to me, it means nothing.

"Just as I thought! You two are new around here aren't you? Visiting Russia?" the third voice asks.

"Y-yes. How did you know?" the first voice says.

"Anyone who lives anywhere in Russia knows the names Nyru and Kai." The third voice says.

"Nyru and Kai?" the second voice asks.

"Yes. Nyru and Kai. They've made quite a reputation for themselves. They're around eight years old, twins. Both are respected by rich and poor, street urchin and millionaire. Although they themselves are street urchins, it is rumored that they were once rich, but gave up everything to help those that they help now. They stop street brawls, and even have a 'gang' of street urchins. The main thing that gets people to respect them though, is their abilities. Nyru has the ability to sense danger and the ability that you saw today, among other things. Kai has the sense of great leadership and is gifted with the ability of learning quickly, among other things." the third voice says.

I hear him talking about Kai and me. Brief flashbacks flash through my mind, then they're gone. The man's words mean nothing to me, because that's all they are, words.

I open my eyes. All around me there are blankets and expensive equipment. I'm obviously in a hospital, but I don't know what a hospital is. I see the equipment, and curiosity fills me. I crawl to the end of the bed and start to play with some of the equipment. I play with the rubber gloves for quite awhile. I pull on them, put them on my feet, stretch them over my head, everything that I can think of. I'm in the middle of chewing on one when the doctor actually notices me.

"Hey! No. No, no, no! The gloves are not for chewing on!"

I can see three people behind the doctor. Two are dressed like everyday people, but one is wearing white. All three are laughing.

"I came in to tell you Doctor Marik, that she has the most sever case of amnesia that I've ever seen." the lady in white says, still laughing hard.

"Yes, yes. Thank you Scarlett." Doctor Marik says absently.

"And Doctor." Scarlett says.

"Yes." Doctor Marik says, turning to face Scarlett, the glove in his hand.

"I've called every orphanage in Moscow, even some that aren't. None will take her. Balkov Abbey won't even take her, and they're known for taking urchins that are almost dead in." Scarlett says.

"Then what are we going to do with her?" Doctor Marik asks.

"I've been thinking on that. My sister in Japan, Silk, she might take her in. I've told Silk everything that is known about Nyru and Kai, and taking in the famous Nyru might make my sister overjoyed." Scarlett says.

"Do it. Be sure to tell her about Nyru's amnesia." Doctor Marik says.

"Okay."

Pulling a phone out of her pocket, Scarlett soon has her sister on the line.

"Silk? It's Scarlett. You remember the girl that I've been telling you about." Scarlett says.

"…"

"Yeah that's the one. Her name's Nyru, remember? Well, how would you feel about taking her in?"

"…"

"You will? Great!"

"…"

"Yes, yes, of course. As you know, her name is Nyru and she's around eight years old. Unfortunately, we don't have much else personal info on her. We do know this though. She recently hit her head very hard, causing the most extreme case of amnesia that I've ever seen. And there is a chance of coma's until her memory is restored."

"…"

"How will you be picking her up?"

"…"

"Shunshae? Plane?"

"…"

"Oh. Well I guess I'll be on the roof with Nyru. See ya sis."

"…"

Scarlett hangs up her phone, then puts it back in her pocket. She looks at the doctor, then at me. I've managed to get a hold of another glove and my innocent eyes gaze up at her. Scarlett laughs, then picks me up.

"It will be a few hours before Shunshae and Silk get here. Why don't you three get some sleep?" Scarlett says as she gently works the glove out of my hands. I let go with a yawn and snuggle into her arms. She smiles gently and starts to hum a soothing melody. I yawn, then sigh softly before quietly drifting off to sleep.
