It was not that long ago. When I met Kai. He came and met me at the hospital in Moscow. He told me that my name was Jade and that I was a life long friend of his. Unfortunately I do not remember any of this.

There was an accident. I was in a car going somewhere, I cannot remember where and we crashed and fell off of a bridge. Apparently Kai was in the car and he rescued me. But I fell into a coma. I woke up about a year ago, with Kai sitting next to me. He looked surprised to see me awake. Supposedly I had been asleep for nearly a year.

When I woke up I felt groggy and unaware. I did not know who I was and frankly other then my first name I do not remember anything else. Kai said that it is not a good idea for him to force all the information on me. He wants to see if I would be able to remember them on my own.

Once the hospital let me out, Kai set me up in one of his houses. He wanted me to be safe and make sure that I stayed that way. I stayed in the house with one of his butlers. It was slightly lonely all by myself. But the best times I had was when Kai would come and visit me. He would sneak always from his grandfather to come to see me. It was not often but it made me happy and he knew how important that was for me.

It has been about four years since I woke up. This past year has been the most difficult. Kai has been overseas in Japan all this time. He has not been able to see me at all for the longest time. This is the first time that I have left the manor for any reason. I miss him and I want to see him. My mind has been going insane without being able to see anyone.

Well I guess I haven't been completely alone. My butler has been there and Tala comes to visit me on occasion. He was the one that told me that I could go to Japan to see Kai. He was also told by Kai to escort me to Japan.

"Jade? Are you alright?" I lift my head up to the red head sitting across from me. "You are not afraid are you?" He stands up and moves in front of me.

"Oh, no I am fine. Why is my face strange?" I look up at him confusedly.

"No, but I do not think that I have ever seen you so quiet. Are you hungry? I can get you some food if you need it."

"No, I am fine for now. It's just that I have never left the manor before. This is all so strange for me."

"I guess that is true. I wish that I would have been able to take you out when I came to visit you. But this is the first time that Kai said that it was completely safe for you to come out." He looked down for a while almost lost in his own thought. I have noticed that I can connect with people's emotions easier then a normal person. Perhaps it is due to the isolation or some strange sensation that I cannot remember.

I look outside and all I can see is the sky and the white clouds. It is so beautiful. We have been flying for three hours already. I expect that we will be in the air for another six hours. It is a long trip to Japan from Moscow.

I wonder how much Kai has changed in the time that we were apart. It may have only been a year but I think that it has been far too long.

"Jade? It's late I brought you some food." I have spent so much time thinking that I did not even notice that the sun had gone down and the sky was black. I look up at him carrying a plate full of food. I open up my tray for him to put it down on.

"Thanks Tala. So how much longer until we land in Tokyo?"

"About four more hours. It will still be night time for you but the sun will already be up in Japan. You should get some sleep before we land."

"What about you? You haven't even sat down since we left and when you have you have been so focused on me that I am starting to worry that I took the wrong Tala with me."

"Sorry, am I acting oddly. What I meant to say is eat up, let's watch a movie and then go the fuck to sleep."

"Much better you have never been one to be overly polite."

"Sorry Kai warned me to behave myself or he would rip me a new one when we land."

"Was it really alright to leave your team behind? Wouldn't it have been better if we had brought them along?"

"No. They are still training. They will be following in a few days time anyway. There is a small tournament in Tokyo next week. Hold on I will be right back." He gets up and walks back to what I assume is the kitchen and returns with a plate of food.

"What is it like in Japan have you been there before Tala?"

"Yes, it is beautiful and peaceful. There are no conflicts within the government and the people there treat everyone kindly. You will love it."

"I hope so. I haven't seen outside the manor. It took a while to think that I would actually be allowed outside for the first time in a year."

"You were allowed in the garden."

"Only for ten minutes at a time and only when accompanied by nearly thirty guards. It was suffocating at times."

"I sorry to hear that but at least I was able to come and visit you now and again. At least you were not completely alone."

"It was much harder when Kai left though. There was no one that I could talk to on a regular basis. It was still lonely." I start to eat my food. I know that Tala was only trying to make some small talk between the two of us. But unfortunately small talk has never been my strongest suit. And I am starting to get tired. I did not realize how tiring it is to fly. I pick at my food a bit and Tala rambles on about beyblading and the world outside. To an extent I find it relaxing to listen to him talk. I occasionally answer with a nod or a grunt in his general direction. The food on my plate is delicious but my stomach is not taking it very well. My eyes start to fall as I sit there in my seat and then everything goes dark.

Tala's POV

During dinner I talk about beyblading and how Kai is one of the players on another team. That he didn't really betray this team but he wanted to see what would happen if he were to play on another one for a while. She seemed interested in conversation but would never respond. She was also only picking at her food. Jade has never been much of a picky eater, but maybe the flying is getting to be a bit much for her.

Eventually she falls asleep. I was expecting this. I was actually hoping for it. She needed the rest before meeting the bladebreakers in the morning. The group is rowdy and loud. The complete opposite of everything that Jade is. She is quiet and strong. She has not been a loud environment before and frankly I am not sure how she will make out with it.

Kai asked me to accompany her for extra security for her. Not because she would be in danger but so that she would feel safer with another friend along with her. The other members of his team may not be happy with it but they will have to live with the fact that I will be wherever Jade is. I have no problem being there to protect her. But I thought that the people that wanted her dead were dealt with. I know that Voltaire has been put away for good. Kai made sure of that before he told Jade that it was safe to leave the manor.

I worry about her though. She is so shy and complacent. She is used to being catered too. She has always had whatever she needed whenever she needed it. This is the first time that she will see that most people have to work for everything. And though she does not realize it Kai has been working very hard to make sure that she lives a comfortable life. It has not been the easiest thing for him either. Tracking down the people responsible for the accident and making sure that all of the people that want her dead are in jail. Also being sure that his grandfather never knows that she is alive. If he were to find out about her existence it would mean very bad news. Even though he is in prison he would be able to cause an uproar in Russia about her.

Jade is the great granddaughter of Grand Duchess Alexandrina, and though the family is still wealthy the ties to the royalty has fallen due to the end of the monarchy in Russia. But the main idea was that the family return to the throne as figureheads of the Russian government, very much like the English Queen Elizabeth the II. However there are people who do not want the royal family anywhere near the government and actually want them all dead. There are not many people now that disagree with the wrongs done to the royal family however most are not eager to have them back on the throne quite yet.

I wonder if she will ever remember who she really is. I promised Kai that I would not tell her so that she has the opportunity to remember herself. But there are no signs that her memory will even return at this rate.

There is something that seems to be blocking her memory anyway. Whatever it is there should be something that will cause her to remember something.

At least she is resting now. She has been through so much even though she does not remember it. Well at least I should get everything ready we will be landing in Tokyo soon.

Time passed slowly as the plane flew. Jade stayed asleep for most of the plane ride. She woke up as we were landing. She still seemed a little off as we got ready to get off the plane but as we started to get off of the plane she perked up to her usually cheerful self.
