Please Read this note first.

Many years ago this story was created by a writer on here by the name of zzdoricorezz.

All of her story's were mysteriously deleted one day and we haven't heard from her since 2011.

Before her story's were deleted I was able to copy some of them for my own personal reading.

A few weeks ago I come across them on a flash drive and re-read them.

I have decided to go through this story and clean up/ makeover (edit) where needed and re-post this wonderful story.

Im not looking for reviews because this is not my story. But letting me know if like the changes or not will be nice

But if anyone has a problem with me re-posting this please let me know, and if enough people have a problem with this I will delete it.

i will be uploading each chapter as I finish cleaning it up.

But 98% is the original work of zzdoricorezz just as it was originally posted.

Thank you

I do not own Beyblade, it belongs to Takao Akoi. The views and events expressed in the fanfic does not represent the original characters the voice actors or Takao Akoi. This story is merely a fraction of my imagination. I do own my imagination, and this is how it looks like...

Please note:

There is no yoai in this story. NO YOAI

There is no rape in the story. NO RAPE

There is not sexual abuse in this story. NO SEXUAL ABUSE

This is the setting to the story in my mind, just so that I don't lose you somewhere in the middle of the action. V-force never happened, neither did the tag team finals in G-revolution in season 3. This takes place one year after stopping Biovolt at the finals in season 1, and then we fast forward to where BEGA comes into play.

Location: Russia

A perfect win as expected as always. I step forward and hold out my hand and my opponent who I have just defeated hands me 5$ and makes a run for it. I take out the rest of the money in my pocket and figure it should be enough for some food. Who would have guessed that the 'great' Kai Hiwatari would be struggling to get some money for basic survival? I thought that making a living of the streets would be easy. That's how the Blade Sharks and I survived, by making money off beybattles on the streets of Japan. But the streets of Moscow are nothing like the streets of Japan.

There are plenty of beybladers in Moscow beyblading in parks for fun, but not for stakes and definitely not for high stakes. And robbing people is not my style, I would rather starve to death than to steal from someone else. No one was interested in being in a street gang. There were barely any homeless kids and if there were they didn't know anything about beyblading and I definitely didn't feel like teaching.

All the beybladers on the streets ended up in the abbey and after the abbey was closed down all the kids went into the foster care system.

I haven't had anything to eat for two days now, I had no warm place to sleep. If the abbey was still in operation I wouldn't of hesitated to go back even after what happened. I know I said I will never return but now is a different situation. In the abbey they may have trained you half to death and they were severe consequences for bad performance, but at least they kept you alive.

Food a bed a roof over your head.

This wouldn't have happened if I stayed with the Blade breakers. But after what I heard that night I didn't want to be anywhere near them, not even in Japan with them. That's why I stayed behind in Russia.

=Flashback=

I was out on the streets as usual and the rest of the team was back at the hotel. I was wondered around the streets thinking about what I had just done by betraying Grandfather like that. In a way I was starting to feel guilty for turning my back on him. I know he wronged me in more ways than one, but still there was this feeling.

It was getting cold and I decided to head back to the hotel. As usual no one even noticed me entering the hotel. I made my way to the lobby towards the elevator when I heard Tyson's voice, he's always so loud you couldn't miss him. I stepped closer and decided to stay out of sight.

They were celebrating the championship we just won. I never liked celebrating with them, it never felt right so I was never anywhere in sight when there was a celebration going on and they were clearly use to it. I could tell by the way they were talking about me as if I'm not even in Russia.

"One would think that Kai would want to be a bit happy about us winning the championship."

"Come on Ray he doesn't care or else he would be here with us celebrating." said Tyson with a mouth full of food.

"He didn't even speak to us, he just disappeared, not even congratulating us!"

"Yeah Max is right, Kai doesn't give a damn about us winning, he only cares about himself and his stupid Dranzer." Tyson didn't really think what he was saying.

"Tyson I'm sure Kai does care he just doesn't...mm... " Ray trailed off not really knowing what to say, 'Tyson and Max was right Kai didn't even congratulate them'

Ray was now starting to wonder why he was trying to defend Kai. If Kai cared, he would be here defending himself for his actions.

"...you know what Tyson you're right." Ray finished and drank the rest of his glass of juice. Kenny looked up from his laptop "I kind of feel like we have been used."

"Why do you say that chief?" "Well Kai left us for the Demolition Boys just like that, for power, to get to the top. And when he couldn't defeat us on the lake, he used us to get to the top and win the championship. Maybe I'm just tired and thinking too much, forget I said anything."

"Chief is right that's kind of how I felt when Kai came back." Ray said staring into his empty glass. "Kai never really was what I would call happy to be on this team." Tyson managed to say while stuffing some more food into his big mouth. "Besides I'm kind of glad he is not here to dampen the atmosphere with his attitude."

I was shocked at what I just heard, I didn't even bother to listen to the rest of the conversation, I didn't want to hear anymore. I turned around and headed for the stairs making sure the Bladebreakers doesn't see me. They are never going to see me again. I got to our hotel room grabbed my stuff and left. Out of the room out of the hotel. Out of the team.

=End of Flashback=

I was a little bit more than furious as I was painfully reminded why being alone was

always the better option. I really did care, and I put more trust in them than what they will ever understand and that is what they thought of me?

(In the original story Bega I believe was in Japan but for the purposes of this story it is in Russia, Moscow to be exact)

I'm now making my way to the new building in the centre of Moscow. A new company that bought out the BBA. I never thought that Mr. Dickenson would ever sell, but it would seem that I thought wrong. I'm curious to see who was running this new company. I went to the roof of a neighbouring building not wanting to attract any attention to myself.

From where I was standing I could see Tyson and most probable the rest of the team. Of course they would of flown in from Japan to find out what is going on here. I mentally make a note to avoid them.

I'm now standing at the front desk in the Bega building. It was neat and clean and you could see that a lot of effort went into the planning of the building itself. After Boris had revealed it was he who bought out the BBA and turned it into BEGA, I'm sure Tyson won't be joining and even less the rest of the team. So I decided if I were to join BEGA I would face Tyson somewhere in a final for the championship.

But that would just be a bonus, right now I'm more interested in joining BEGA to get off the streets. I won't be able to survive much longer at the rate I'm collecting money.

"Inform Boris that I would like to have a word with him." The man behind the front desk looks up at me with an expression that reads, who do you think you are giving an order like that, kid. "And who is it that would like to have a word with him?" He said that with so much sarcasm. I give him a death glare, I'm starting to think that I had better let him know who he is dealing with. "Kai Hiwatari.".

The man freezes in shock and looks at me almost like he doesn't know what to do now. "Stare much?" Knowing very well that everyone now knows about Voltaire Hiwatari serving a long sentence in a high maximum security prison for trying to take over the world. And sharing the same surname suddenly makes me the same as him. I was used to getting treated like that because of my surname. But people still showed respect even if it was respect out of fear. Not that it ever was out of anything else.

The man disappears through a back door to the left and not to long after returns. "Right this way Mr. Hiwatari." No one has called me that for a long time. He leads me to an elevator and waits for the door to open and gestures for me to enter first. I step in and he follows. The elevator takes us all the way to the top floor.

'Figures Boris always did like looking down on people.' The lift comes to a stop. " Right this way." Keeping his words short and simple. We stop at some double wooden doors. " Boris is waiting for you inside." And he turns around to quickly disappear back into the elevator.

I hesitate for a second having a feeling of being in trouble, and then knock on the door. What for I don't know, he was the one waiting for me. But that action was programmed somewhere in my head. To always knock before entering Boris's office and then wait for his command to enter. "You may enter." Comes a voice from inside.

=Flashback=

I was being escorted by two abbey guards one on each side of me. We stopped at a double metal door. " Boris is waiting for you." The guard to my left said. The guards turned and walked off, back the direction we just came from. I turn to face the door in front of me knowing I'm in a lot of trouble and talking wasn't going to help.

After a moment of hesitation, I knocked on the cold metal door. "You may enter." I turned the door knob and stepped inside closing the door behind me and stepped up in front of Boris's desk. Boris was standing staring out of his window. " In trouble once again young Kai." He said without turning around.

=End of Flashback=

I turn the door knob and step inside, automatically closing it behind me. Boris was standing staring out of a window to the right. "Dejavu." He says in a smug tone. I choose to remain silent I wasn't going to play this game today. After a moment of silence, he turns to face me. My heart stops as he turns and I freeze as he fully faces me, he smirks knowing he still has that strong hold on me. Walking over to his desk he casually sits down and gestures to one of the chairs in front on him. "Please sit down ... Mr. Hiwatari. "

'Great now he's mocking me.' I force myself to move forward and sit down as if nothing is wrong. " So tell me Kai did the Bladebreakers run out of chances to give a traitor like you?" I was taken aback, wanting to tell him what he really is. But I decide to stay silent, upsetting him now may ruin my last attempt of survival.

"I want to battle Tyson." Not wanting Boris to know just how desperate I really am right about now, I decide to pin this one on Tyson for opening his big mouth. "And now you want to do it at my expense." I very calmly reply trying not to shout. " He striped me of my championship tittle, and I want it back."

Boris was just sitting and staring at me now. 'I thought that Kai would rather stay with the Bladebreakers than come back to me. They must have done something to upset him. I can clearly see that he has been living on the streets, coming to me is probably his last option. I still feel like making him pay for turning his back on me years ago, but let's see just how desperate he really is.'

"Well then Kai I'm sure that we can work out a solution to this." He says while leaning forward and placing his elbows on his desk and bringing his fingers together and smirking. I know where this is going. " What are your terms?"

He sits back in his chair. "Well it's very simple, you become a member of BEGA, you will do as I say, battle who I say, you will report to my office once a day every day, you will live here in this building and you will not leave this building unless I approve. If you do leave this building without my approval I will kick you out of BEGA and with it your chance to battle Tyson." He parts his hands. "Any objections?"

I suddenly get this overwhelming feeling of suffocation but this is not the time to panic, knowing that I will regret this at some point. "No." He smirks with a victorious look on his face. "Good, I will have an employee show you to your room."

I am now sitting on my bed in my room in the BEGA building. It's on the same floor as the other top beybladers. It has more in it than what there ever was in the rooms in the abbey. For some reason it has a resembling feeling to the abbey, do as I say, not leave unless I approve. Well it may not be what I would of liked but I have a warm bed to sleep in and warm food to eat. It's a definite step up from the way I've been living the last few months.

I decide it would be a good idea to explore this building just in case an emergency escape would be necessary. Nobody in this place seems to know that I'm here so I guess Boris told the man at the front desk to keep his mouth shut.

I'm looking out of a window searching for a fire escape ladder when I notice someone walking up behind me. I turn around to face them. "Boris would like to see you in his office." The man turned and walked away.

I made my way to Boris's office once again. This was strange walking to his office not being escorted. I stop in front the double wooden doors, and sigh to myself. Thinking this may not end well. I knock. "You may enter." He always answered the same.

I step in and close the door and move in front of his desk. "I have placed you on the BEGA team." 'Wonderful, he knows I'm not a team player.' I just keep staring at him not saying anything. "Would you like to meet your new team members Kai?" ' You mean I have a choice?' I'm still staring at him remaining silent. He gets up out of his chair and walks around his desk towards the door, he walks up right next to me and stops. He turns his head and looks at me from the side. I freeze not moving, not looking back at him.

He smirks and continues walking. "Follow me." He did that on purpose. He led me down to the training rooms.

=Flashback=

Boris was leading me down the dark hallways underneath the abbey. "Where are we going?" I should know better than to ask questions by now. Boris stops dead in his tracks not turning around, staying silent as if he is waiting for something. My head smacks me into action. "I'm sorry for questioning." Boris doesn't say anything but proceed to walk. And I follow very aware that I just dodged a bullet.

=End of Flashback=

He leads me down to the training rooms where quite a few beybladers were busy training. Normal training, nothing like the in the abbey. Boris stops and calls over three beybladers. "Meet your new team member, Kai." They nod. "This is Garland, Mystel, Crusher and Brooklyn is probably out somewhere in the gardens."

He turns "I'll leave you to get better acquainted." And walks off. "Nice to meet you Kai." I turn my head back my new team and Garland is holding out his hand to shake mine. I just stared at him and then turn and walk away without a word.

"Huh? was it something I said?" All three team members staring after Kai as he is walking away. "Not at all, I'd say he has an attitude problem." Everyone still staring into the same direction. "And he has to be on our team?" Mystel said as he continues what he was doing. "I hope he's worth something I don't feel like babysitting." Sighed Garland as he turns back to continue his training.

Late afternoon

I found my way to the roof of the BEGA building. It's quiet up here no one else is around, this will definitely be my new hangout or shall I say hide out. Boris just unnerves me and he knows it, all those years spent in the abbey, he trained me personally, he knows how to push my buttons. He knows what makes me panic what upsets me, what .. calms me...what... comforts me?...

Suddenly the door to the roof opens and some kid probably a trainee walks over to the edge and pulls out a cigarette and lights it. That's definitely not allowed... "I didn't know that kids were allowed to smoke now." The kid jumps around shocked that he had been caught. He threw the cigarette on the ground and then stepped on it.

"What! what are you doing here?" I jump off the ledge I was sitting on. "Smoking kills you are aware of that?" He frowns. "Who are you?" I start walking closer to him. "I'm your worst nightmare kid." He's now starts trembling in his shoes. "Please don't tell anyone I don't want to be kicked out! I'll do anything just don't tell!" Practically begging me.

I smirk. "Anything?" He nods "Yeah just name it."

At night

I'm lying down in my bed, something I haven't enjoyed for quite some time. It was nice and soft and warm and it wasn't long before I was drifting away into sleep.

=Flashback in dream=

I was being carried down the dark halls of the abbey in a way a father carries his child. My head laid on his shoulder.

Despite the coldness of the halls I feel warm. I was too tired to worry about where we were going. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

=End of Flashback in dream=

Something woke me up, I'm not sure what. I look around the room but don't see anything. I lay back down thinking about my dream. I remember everything that happened in the abbey, I just liked to tell Mr. Dickenson that I have no memories of the place just so that he could would leave me alone in peace. I didn't want to talk about it.

What happened to me in the abbey never really bothered me that much, it was what happened to the other kids in the abbey that gave me the nightmares. I could never repeat what I have seen.

=Flashback=

Boris would occasionally take me down to the training rooms when other kids where busy training. On this particular day the training room was empty except for two bladers who were to face each other. They would call it the elimination beybattles. The kid that would win would be promoted to a higher team and higher training, as for the loser he would face severe punishment.

The two trainees readied themselves and launched their beyblades into the dish. They were busy taking each other apart knowing the loser was to visit the punishment rooms. I couldn't bare to see them beating each other up with attack after attack. I turned my head to look away. Boris was standing behind, he put his cold hands to each side of my face and turned my head back into the direction of the two bladers. "Watch and learn from their mistakes young Kai."

The battle ended when one blader finished of the other off with a brutal attack. His beybalde landed right next to him, he looked at it terrified knowing what was to happen next. Two abbey guards grabbed him from behind and starting dragging him off not to gently. The kid was pleading, begging not to be punished, not to be hurt.

Boris was still holding my head in the same position. His hands on my face was starting to get warmer it felt somewhat comforting. He stroked his thumbs over my cheeks and then let go.

"He will be your next opponent."

=End of Flashback=

I got up and walked to the ensuite bathroom to I splash some water on my face.

=Flashback=

I was walking behind Boris. He was leading me to the training room where I was going to face the winner of yesterday's battle. He was now on one of the elite teams and supposedly one of the more talented ones. We arrived at the training room. "Now tell me young Kai, who will be the victor of this elimination beybattle?" I just kept looking ahead.

"I will be the victor of this beybattle." I state without thinking. "Good, now defeat him, as brutal as you can."

I decided to end this beybattle rather quickly but it seems that I may have underestimated my opponent. He was giving me a battle alright; he definitely didn't want one of the punishments down in the basement. And I could understand that, this was one of the more important beybattles on his part and any loss would lead to severe physical agony.

He was desperate I could tell by the way he was blading; it took him of guard. I could very easily defeat him, but I can't just send someone down to the punishment rooms. I would feel guilty for making someone suffer like that because of me. So I decide that if I were to end this match as a tie not one of us lost, so not one of us would get punished.

Both our beyblades landed outside of the dish at the same time. Boris steps closer. "Take him down to the basement!" Two guards yanked the other kid to his feet and dragged him off as a hand grabbed me by my jacket and dragged me towards the elevator. "These goggles I wear are not for mere decoration, I could see how you angled your blade at the last moment to avoid hitting your opponent into oblivion." He sounded so angry.

He pushed me into the elevator and pressed the button to go up. 'Up? but the punishment rooms are down in the basement.' The doors to the elevator closed and started moving up. I was now shaking, worried for what was coming next. Boris turned to me and picked me up. I didn't understand. I placed my head on his shoulder. The elevator doors opened and he walked down the hallways. I was too tired to worry about where we were going, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

It must have been a few hours of sleep I got. I woke up feeling very comfortable, I was lying on something soft. I opened my eyes and realised I was lying on Boris's couch in his office. Boris who was busy typing on his computer noticed I had woken up. "Return to training, now." I got up. "Yes, sir." And left very swiftly.

I was walking back through the hallways not feeling any pain anywhere, realising that nothing happened to me. I was not punished...but why? I spend the whole day sleeping on Boris's couch. And that ...

=End of Flashback=

My thoughts that were roaming through my memories were interrupted by a knock on my bedroom door. I open it and there stood Garland. "Good morning Kai, the team are going to work on team strategies today, are you coming?" 'Great he's going to bother me.' "Maybe later." I state and shut the door in his face.

There's a knock on the door. "You may enter." Garland opens the door and steps in. "There is something I would like to discuss if you don't mind Boris." Boris looks up from his computer. "Yes Garland, what is it now?" Garland steps forward and takes a seat in front of the desk. "It's about Kai, he doesn't seem to like being on the team".

"That's how Kai is, you have to prove you are something to him." Boris says not very surprised that Kai isn't too happy.

"Well he doesn't talk to us, he doesn't train with us, it's like he's not even part of the team, it's hard running a team that is apart." Boris nodded understanding his point.

"I'll have a word with Kai.". "Thank you that may help." Garland got up and left.

Garland was waiting for the elevator when the doors opened and Kai was standing inside. "Hi, Kai." Trying to interact in some way, but all that he receives is a glare. "You're in my way." Kai states in a slightly threatening manner. Garland feeling very intimidated right now steps aside. Kai made his way past Garland towards Boris's office. 'Damn, if looks could kill.' Garland thinks while the elevator doors close.

A slight hesitation and then I knock on the door. Here for my 'report to my office each day, everyday'. I step in and stay standing at the door expecting this to be over soon. "Have a seat." 'I expected wrong.' "What for?" Boris looks at me with a smug look on his face. "Now, now, Kai need I remind you on what terms you are here?" I knew I was going to regret my decision at some point, just not this early. I reluctantly move towards his desk and sit down. "That's better." It gave Boris satisfaction when he had control over Kai.

"Garland informs me that you are not making any effort to be a part of the team." 'Does that surprise you?' Silence was Kai's answer. "Now Kai I expect you to make an effort to make it at least look like you're interested." I got up and headed towards the door. "Fine."

A week later

'Well after Tyson confronted Boris after Tala's defeat and then challenging him, we will be facing in the Justice five league tournament. And after witnessing Garland defeat Tala he has earned a bit of my respect, he proved to be more than just a normal blader. I still haven't seen Crusher or Mystel beyblade at a highly respected level. And Brooklyn I haven't even seen. And 'Gin of the Gale' Hiro just had to jump ship to this side and be our couch, he must not think I'm going to co-operate with him.'

I was standing in the training room which was empty all except for the BEGA team and our new couch. The door opened and a trainee stepped in. "Hi, Brooklyn we didn't think we will be seeing you in training today." Garland turned his head to look over his shoulder. "I at least have to come and meet our new couch, it's only polite."

Brooklyn walks over to Hiro and for a moment it looked like he was going to shake Hiro's hand but then decided against it. "Nice to meet you couch." Brooklyn turns to my direction. "And you must be Kai? Welcome to our team." He then turns and walk back towards the door. "Aren't you going to train with us?" Hiro looked a bit surprised.

"No need." Answered Brooklyn and continue out the door. "What does he think he doesn't need to train?" Questioned Hiro. The conversation was interrupted by a BEGA member entering the training room. "Boris would like to see all of you in his office right away." And then left.
