Hi, everyone! This is my new story. It will be a two-shot. Or atleast that is what I hope it will be.

Please forgive me if there are any grammar errors and spelling mistakes.

Now on with story…

One pleasant day, Kai was driving to a place where he used to go as a child. He was driving his favorite car, a red Ferrari, to that place. The Hiwatari is a rich man, but still he loved driving his own cars rather than having a driver. His family stopped visiting that place after a war broke out. He used to have friends there.

But it has been atleast 10 years since he had visited. So he was not sure whether he would remember them. But he was hopeful that he can remember them. But what if they too have moved out due to war. So many questions were in his mind.

But suddenly he stopped his car. He saw two young boys, one with long black hair. Another one blonde. They were having a basket full of strawberries and cherries. The long hair boy came, "Sir, this basket is very cheap, you can buy one here way cheaper than on in the town." He pleaded.

The dual-toned man saw something recognizable in the boys' eyes. Though the two were shabby and not well dressed, their eyes spoke to him. The black haired boy seemed to be just a little younger than him, and the blonde seemed to be atleast 2-3years younger than him.

The golden and blue eyes of both the boys, they were so familiar to him yet so distant. The golden eyed boy again pleaded, "Sir, these are just from the farms and so very fresh. If you buy these it will be healthy for you too." The blue-eyed boy looked through the car window hopefully.

The black haired boy just looked like a cat when he tilted his head, and Kai loved cats. So he asked, "What is the price of the biggest basket of strawberries you have?" The black haired boy's eyes started to sparkle and the blonde started jumping up and down in joy.

After giving the basket, "Thank you, sir." The golden eyed boy said. Kai just nodded and gave them a genuine smile, rather than his smirk. He then sped off in his Ferrari. The dual hair kept on thinking, 'I recognize those eyes somewhere, but where…' he kept knocking his brain for answers. But his brain refused to give any. He finally gave up.

Kai then went the town, but it was already night. So he just went to the hotel he booked beforehand. He collected his card at the reception and went to the third floor. He swiped the card and entered the room. The room was majestic with its king sized bed and a verandah to look over the town. But Kai had no time or energy to look around the room.

He just went and laid on the bed. He was so tired as the travel was so long. But his mind kept going on to those brilliant eyes. "I knew those eyes, but where…" He kept on thinking. But his mind just went to sleep. The early morning sun-rays, found the Hiwatari in the bed peacefully sleeping.

But Kai woke up as soon as sun-rays touched his face. He sat up on his bed. The morning sun was reminding him of something so treasurable to him. A memory which he loved to replay over and over in his head.

Flashback

Kai was just 8 years old. And his family has brought him to the town. He just ran to his parents and said, "I'll go and search my friends." And he just left the room. He went a small hill nearby and searched for sign. He saw it. A huge tree whose branches shadowed a huge area beneath it. Kai just smirked to himself.

He went running and sliding through the small bushes and slopes on his way. When he reached there he hid himself from view, behind a bush. There he found three young boys and a girl there. They were younger than him. The group was waiting for someone.

A navy-haired boy spoke impatiently kicking something, "I thought he was the son of big businessman. But can't he come here on time." A black haired boy came there and patted him on the back, "Don't worry, Tyson. He won't be late unless there is a good reason for it."

A blonde supported him, "Yes, what Ray says is right, and besides your best friend won't get eaten up on the way here." The whole group started to laugh at that. Even Kai who was hiding in the bush can't help but chuckle at that comment. Due to his chuckling the bush started to shake.

The brunette got frightened, and hid behind Tyson, "There is something in the bush and it is moving." Tyson just rolled his eyes, "Oh, Hilary. There is nothing and because you studied so much in the school, I think, your brain is affected." Hilary just glared at him, "It is so genius. Then why are you acting crazy sometimes?"

Then as their fight was beginning, Kai leapt out of the bush and stood in front of them. Everyone was surprised that the one they have been waiting for was just very close to them. The fight was now forgotten. Tyson was not able to control himself anymore and pounced on his friend.

"Kai! I missed you so much, Kai." He just shouted as he hugged him so closely that was enough to suffocate him. "Tyson...I…need…air." Kai managed to say. Then only he realized he was suffocating his captain, and loosened his hug. Kai took a deep breath. Then Kai smiled at his friend.

These group of friends are the only ones Kai truly called friends. These are the only people he fully trusted at anything. And he would do anything to protect them too. They are the ones he called 'Family'. And it took them time to gain his trust too. But when they gained it, they saw how loyal and truthful he was to them.

Then Ray and Max came to give him a tight hug but not as tight as Tyson. And Hilary too gave him a hug which he accepted. Then they sat beneath the tree's shadow and the wind played with their bangs. Then Tyson started, "How was your days at the city, Kai?" Kai replied in a bored, blunt tone, "As usual. Nothing special about that."

Then Max stood up, "Let's play some game. Now as our captain is with us, any game would be interesting now." Everyone nodded at that. Ray asked, "What game?" Tyson started to scratch is head for ideas, to impress his friend. Hilary mocked him, "Why are making your brain work, when you don't have one?"

Tyson was annoyed at this, "Hey! That was mean." Kai stood up, "Enough of this. We will play Hide and seek." To decide the catcher they played Rock, paper , scissor. And unfortunately, it was Tyson. Kai took his scarf and tied it tightly around his eyes. When he was making the final knot, Tyson cried, "Ouch! Be careful, Kai." Then Kai started to spin him around.

Then he left him and everyone started to call him to catch him. They directed him toward them and escaped. This was fun to everyone which includes Kai. But Kai felt pity for Tyson and so willingly went in front of him to get caught. But when Tyson sensed someone was standing infront of him, he just pounced on him like a cat.

He removed his blindfold and yelled, "I got you!" But when his eyes finally focused, he saw Kai giving a death glare to him, beneath him. Tyson just gulped and stood up, "I'm sorry Kai." But Kai was not finished yet, "You're dead, Granger." He said and pounced on him.

But as they were on a slope, they rolled down almost hugging each other. When they reached the bottom, Kai threw Tyson away and stood up. Then he went near him to help him get up. Tyson was rubbing his back then. "Thanks, Kai" Then they saw their friends on the top calling to them. "Are you both all right?" they heard Ray's voice.

"Yeah! We are all right." Tyson shouted. He then turned to Kai, "Shall we begin our climb now?" Kai just smiled and nodded. Tyson just kept on blabbering about his home and dojo and grampa and kendo, till they reached the top.

Then Max said, "I think it's time for lunch. We better go to our home and come back in the evening." Everyone accepted it. Hilary reminded them, "It seems we all forgot one thing." They forgot that there was ritual they followed before leaving. They placed their hands in fists in a circle and said "Go, Bladebreakers!" and raised their hands up. They just went on their ways to reach their homes.

Flashback end.

Kai loved how his friends were and it is a reason why he has come here. To find them. That's why as soon as he got his driving license, he drove here than any other place. He wanted those friends who proved to him the world is entirely made of stone-hearted fools, but soft hearts are there too. He need to find his friends, his family. And he would do anything to find them, no matter what it takes.

So, I enjoyed so much typing this chapter and imagining it. I hope you to would have that fun.

Will Kai recognize them, or will they be the first to recognize him?

Next chapter will reveal it.

Anyway, a clue for the question I gave in my other story, "In an inn far away…"

There are three of them, excluding Kai. And all three were friends of him in the military or rather colleagues. I hope this clue is pretty useful in finding the answer.

Anyway, how was this chapter? Good? Bad?

Anything I am open to reviews.

Till then bye_Devi
