Seventeen Years Ago

"Congratulations! You've had a healthy baby girl." The nurse smiled as she placed the newborn in Ray's arms. I couldn't help but smile at the wonderment that appeared in Ray's eyes as our daughter laid sleeping on him.

"She's beautiful." Ray cooed. Although she wasn't planned, from the minute Ray had found out he was having our child he has been excited. We had been together for a bit and sure as hell hadn't been thinking we'd be parents at seventeen, but this had been something Ray had wanted for his life so I had no reason to oppose. And now, seeing how happy Ray was holding our daughter, I knew going through with the pregnancy was the right decision.

"She is. Have you thought of any names yet?" This had been something that had been a debate amongst the team for the past two months. Everyone had been giving us ideas on names but Ray still hadn't heard the one he thought was right.

"No. Nothing I've thought of has felt right. I want to choose something that perfectly fits her. But now looking at her, I can't think of anything." He sighed, staring down at our newborn. "She's just so perfect."

"Kyra." I spoke, not even noticing my thoughts were being said outloud.

"What Kai?" Ray gave me a puzzled look.

"Kyra. It can be translated to mean beloved in Russian." I said softly, unsure on how Ray would respond.

"Kyra…" Ray paused, looking down at our daughter. She had Ray's dark raven hair but was rather pale like me. "I like it. She is our beloved daughter so it fits." He grinned.

I went over, kissing my boyfriend's forehead then gently sitting down beside him to look at our daughter better. "Welcome to the world Kyra Hiwatari."

"You are going to be so loved and spoiled. You have so many uncles and aunties waiting to meet you." Ray of course referring to our team, The Blade Breakers, as well as his friends from The White Tigers who were waiting at Tyson's to be given to go ahead to come meet the newest addition.

Ray then yawned, showing he was a lot more tired than he had been letting on. After the delivery he was trying to put on a brave face for me, trying to show he was stable enough to be spending time with our daughter already, but I could tell that since the nurse had left he was dropping his act a bit.

"I think you need to rest love." I whispered with my head resting beside his.

"No I'm fine. I just want to hold her a bit longer." He pouted, trying to stifle another yawn.

"Ray, you have a whole lifetime to be spending time with her. But you're not going to be able to get out of here soon if you don't rest. Why don't you let the nurse take her to the newborns room and we can get some sleep together?" I looked him in the eyes, making sure my concern was getting across to him. It had been almost twenty four hours since he had slept due to the delivery and I knew it was getting to him.

He sighed in defeat. "Fine." He pressed the call button on the side of his bed, causing the nurse from before to enter the room. "Could we possibly have Kyra sleep in the nursery for a bit? Kai and I need to get some rest and are worried about not being there for her."

The nurse smiled, taking the sleeping infant out of Ray's arms. "Of course! Such a beautiful name you two of chosen. I'll put her down in there and just call again when you two are ready for me to bring her back." The two of us nodded as the nurse walked out.

It was obvious how tired Ray was from the fact that nearly minutes after the nurse had left he was sound asleep in my embrace. I smiled, kissing my boyfriend on the forehead and closing my eyes as well. Life could not be more perfect.

A few hours later I was woken up by a nurse shaking my arm. First thing I thought was Ray. "Ray? Is he okay?"

Ray stirred beside me. "Kai? What's going on?" He said groggily.

The nurse looked at us both, tears running down her face. "I am so sorry Mr. Hiwatari, but someone has stolen your daughter."

I froze. I could feel Ray starting to break down, crying into my chest. But I couldn't respond. She had only been born a few hours ago, how could she be gone? Who would've taken her?

"D-did you see who it was? What did they look like?" Ray stuttered, trying to contain his tears.

"It was a man. He had long silver hair, older. We have him on camera if you would like to see. We tried to stop him he had people with him that fought against the nurses who made any attempt to get her back."

"Voltaire." I growled. My grandfather, one of the only living relatives I had left. He had sought out to make me his ultimate blading weapon but had failed when I fought against him, choosing my friends and Ray over the power he wanted me to wield. He had vowed that he would gain power over the world with Black Dranzer some how. He must think that my offspring is his second chance.

"Kai, what are we going to do? We need to get her back!" Ray cried, gripping onto my hand.

"Don't worry Ray, we will find her. No matter what it takes."
