Author's notes: I would just like to say this is my first beyblade fiction that I hosted on this site - It was finished a while ago and now I'm just going over errors and grammar mistakes. So basically;

This fiction had many twists and - well the romance is more 'hinted' and more to the 'emotional' side than the physical kind. Though I do have a sequel up and currently working on another story so really this will turn out like a triology, Unsure if I will add romance into that I would be grateful if anyone read the first chapter of this story.

Chapter 1
"I can't believe we're going to Kai's house!" Tyson yelled as he stuck his head out of the back seat window. The pass month had been planned so that all of the BladeBreakers could go and give Kai a little surprise. None of them objected. They wanted to see their ice captain, their friend. Even if it was going to give them jet lag they couldn't have cared less.

"Yeah - he'll be totally surprised." Max, picturing his elder's face with his mouth hitting the floor…Though he doubted something like that would happen.

"Or angry..." Kenny added, he respected Kai, Kenny was also scared of him, well replace 'also scared' with absolutely, terrified.

"No he won't! His friends are coming." Rei said hopefully, an angry Kai was not good. Hell he might even not let them stay for one night, just to get rid of the jet lag they had. Rei then started an argument of whether or not Kai would be happy to see them.

"Mr. Dickenson - are you sure Kai doesn't know we are coming?" Tyson pondered, he had to admit, he wanted the Russian to know he was coming, but then again – it wouldn't have been a surprise if he had told. Therefore, he forced himself not to speak of it to anyone out side the BladeBreakers…And Mr. Dickenson of course.

"Well Tyson, you said that you wanted to surprise him so I didn't tell Kai anything." Mr Dickenson, now wearing a very happy and cheery look upon his chubby face, he grinned at the BladeBreakers. He was happy that Kai, now finally had some friends that would travel over thousands of miles each. Just to see him, and not even know if they would be allowed to stay.

"I bet he'll be mad..." Rei continued to think about Kai's reaction. Please be in a good mood.

The limousine that the BladeBreakers were in, looked like a scabby horse and carriage compared to Kai's home. The house was surrounded by large, black fence, bars running around the area. There stood a building approximately three stories in height, about the length of a plane… From what the BladeBreakers could see a very large garden that ran off to the hills. In front of his house a medium fountain, the noise of the water could be heard already. Kai's house, much like his personality, was the furthest place away from any town. Or any human contact.

"WOW! That's Kai's house!" Tyson bellowed, this was not what he was expecting.

"When you said he was 'better off' than most people I thought you meant...Not a mansion!" Kenny gasped as the vehicle came even closer to the gigantic house.

"I've never been here personally..." Mr. Dickenson said, the grin not disappearing whatsoever.

"Look at it! It's huge! Even the garden is." Tyson added,

"He even has a swimming pool…" Mr Dickenson added informatively.

"How do you know that - I thought you'd never been here?" Rei asked slightly confused.

"It was in a magazine, 'top homes.' I believe it was called." Mr Dickenson looked over at the World Champion and saw his facial expression was that of a goldfish.

"Oh...I see how that worked out."

As the limousine pulled closer, they saw a small garage, filled with longer, limousines, of all colours – there was even a pink one! Motorbikes, small bicycles seemed to cramp the garages full.

"Is that a limo?" Rei muttered.

"Well I think we'd better ring the bell don't you?" Mr Dickenson, now opening the door and letting everyone get out. They reached the front door, even that was huge.

"Kai's going to freak! Ha-ha." Tyson smirked; he was going to enjoy the look on his captain's face.

Mr. Dickenson, pressed a small yet, decorative bell, soon after he pressed everyone heard someone coming to the door. It opened slowly, revealing one side of Kai, his left crimson eye quickly glancing at them all; he refused to open the door up fully. The visitors noticed he was wearing some sort of uniform. Green blazer and white T-shirt, also it was unusual to see Kai without any 'face markings'.

The look he was giving everyone was not unexpected as he was probably thinking why on earth they would be here on his front door step. He hissed, "What do you want?"

"Kai what's wrong?" Rei said why was he acting like they were the most horrible things he'd ever seen? Suddenly, the group heard movement from the other side of the door; Kai's head snapped to the right and looked, however. This made the group notice a large gash on Kai's temple, not evening wearing his scarf, it trailed down passed his bare neck.

"...W-what are you lot doing here?" He whispered, looking back at them, wanting to keep this conversation at a minimum. The BladeBreakers, including Mr. Dickenson was surprised Kai stuttered, something was a little off.

"What happened to -" Tyson questioned, wanting to know what had happened? Was he ok? Did he get into an accident, or did someone do it on propose?

"Answer my question Granger! Why are you here?" Kai's voice regained it's 'I demand an answer' tone. Something didn't seem right; Kai looked distracted, a little too much than normal.

"We've come to see you...You know like stay over..?" Max said, now thinking if it was even possible to actually stay over with the ice prince. Things were not going well, and everyone knew it. Another voice was heard from behind the door, a loud and strict voice.

"Boy. Where are you?" Kai flinched, he didn't want his father to see the BladeBreakers, hell, and he didn't even want anyone to know he was his father. Just some random person with the same last name as 'that kid that does that spinning top thing,' the reference suited him fine.

"Guys, leave now..." Kai hissed he didn't want them to see the pathetic excuse for a father he had. How he would, only care of himself, and not even care if it was a birthday or Christmas…then when he was home… Things got worse. More arguments and more hitting whichever his father thought of first, Thank God he had believed that Sota was away to a friend's house. Kai wasn't' sure what that thing would do if he found a six year old, defenceless and he was drunk. He's probably think it was a miniature punch bag…Or something else…

"What happened to your face?" Rei asked, now spotting how deep the cut was.

"Nothing, it was an accident, now leave." Kai snapped there were footsteps behind the door, getting louder and louder. This agitated Kai even more.

"Boy. Who's at the door?" the voice called, now hinted with annoyance, Kai flinched again.

"No one, just some pathetic sales people nothing you need to worry about." Kai muttered, he couldn't just shut the door on them, they would ring the bell again, get him into even more trouble than it was worth. Then again, lying to father was going to get him into trouble anyway.

"Tell them to go away then." The voice was obviously that of an adult it was deep and seemed to grow louder with each passing second.

"I am." Kai replied, now rolling is eyes, his words, sarcasm dripping from them, which was his third mistake today….

"Don't be cheeky, you...!" The group saw a hand grip and hold Kai's collar, and thrust him out of the way, the team's eyes widened when they saw Kai being punched where the larger gash was… He fell backwards, and landed on the floor with a loud thud, a loud groan was heard instantly afterwards.

The man, green eyes, and incredible blonde hair whipped around to look at the 'sales men.'

"Oh, these aren't sales people... These are... The BladeBreakers..." He said his voice becoming ever softer, as if nothing whatsoever had happened.

"So, sorry about that, Kai has accident's, don't you Kai; you're so clumsy for some reason! What did you do this time I wonder?" his pale face had an unbelievable smirk plastered on to it. He turned to look at Kai. As did all the people on the Hiwatari doorsteps.

"I fell. Again…" Kai spat – the BladeBreakers eyes widened as they heard their captain's cover up for what it appeared to be his father's abuse. What was the point to try to argue, even more beatings awaited him if he tried to argue with his father, he always got his way, no, matter what it was.

"Thought so… Always doing that aren't you boy?" He gave cruel smile and asked Kai, "Did you think you could hide your friends from me?"

"Yes..." Kai answered truthfully, now getting up from the stony ground.

"To you it's - Yes, sir." His father snapped.

"Yes...sir." Kai spat the last word; humiliation was his punishment for being unruly. He despised the older man, he was no family member.

"Unbelievable, you have friends, maybe you being pathetic and stupid isn't that bad? Who care's if you're failing? I mean who care's if you have, and are nothing? You have friends? I'm so relieved." He said, his tone turning sarcastic at the end of his rant.

"Whatever." Kai said, brushing himself off.

"Good, now come in all of you. Can't have you standing out there getting a cold, can we boy?" Replied his father looking between the children ignoring Mr. Dickenson completely as if he wasn't there, his eyes scanned them all quickly.

"My names Ka-" Kai argued, he knew fine well his father was just doing this to annoy him, but still he had a name, a name that, made him at least sound human.

"I don't care what your name is - your mother gave you it, and I swore on her death bed that I would use nothing of hers." The old man spat back. The BladeBreakers didn't know whether they should defend Kai or be respectful and stay out of the whole mess.

"You also said that you wouldn't marry anyone..." Kai spat back, annoyed they were even daring to bring up that subject.

"Hey Mr .H...!" Tyson said, slightly more forced than he had intended it.

"Mr. H...?" The man raised a defined eyebrow and looked at the kid with the large red cap.

"Tyson that's not respectable." Mr Dickenson remarked.

"Oh no it's fine...Boy, why didn't you tell me some of your friends were coming." The man now glaring at Mr. Dickenson as if he were something that had crawled from under a rock from some place; they obviously didn't like each other.

"I didn't know myself." The team heard him mutter. Suddenly everyone knew why Kai didn't want anyone coming to his home 'unexpectedly,' not even for a short visit.

The man stepped outside and down the few steps and started heading towards the black limo that had pulled up. "Well... As I told you before…I won't be coming to your parents evening at that boarding school of yours, I have to work. I won't be coming back until after Christmas as well I'm sure you can manage without anyone?"

"Like usual then." Kai muttered, he hoped, that his father did not hear that.

"Well - I'm off, oh yes and, Boy?" His father shot around, which made Kai freeze like a deer about to be run over. He swallowed…"Yes, sir?"

"Break anything and I'll break your neck. Is that understood?" Everyone was silent, however, to everyone's surprise, Mr Dickenson didn't do anything, and he stood there, with a displeased look on his face. Though did not say nor do anything.

"Yes, sir..." Kai snapped back. He had now formed a fist with his hand. He wished deeply that he could hit his father, and take that huge smug look off of that piggish face of his. He truly wished it. Kai's father, spoke and looked at each of the guests on his door step, his beady eyes scanning them all, "Well have fun with your -" he paused. His eyes landed on Rei Kon.

"What is it Mr. Hiwatari?" Tyson snapped, as he saw a look of disgust wash over his face when he looked at Rei.

"You're a neko-gin aren't you?" He hissed at the now dumb-founded member of the BladeBreakers.

"Yes. I am." Rei answered unsure of what he was being asked, it was a bit obvious, with the long, long hair and the fangs peering out of the corners of his mouth.

"Humph. Pathetic race - filth…! Nothing more than animals you are!" Kai's father spat, pointing an accusing finger at Rei. As if it was his fault, he was born one.

"May I say that is discrimination -" Mr Dickenson, stated, not wanting anything to lead to anything else.

"May I remind you that Mum was part neko-gin?" Kai snapped at the man furthest away from the door, Tyson, looked at Kai, His eyes had a glassy look, but also – an extremely pissed off look. Who knew someone as cold as Kai could hold so many emotions?

Everyone from the BladeBreakers, looked quite surprised about the new information about Kai. So then, he would be half neko-gin. Right…?

"Yes I know Boy. I'm not stupid. I may also remind you she is dead and she can't exactly hear me. Meanwhile you are just a pathetic Hybrid. You are not even fully neko-gin not even human. Hmm, even my own father couldn't help you .You're the one that should have died in that fire…"

"I would have preferred it also..." Kai spoke, now glancing at the ground. He shouldn't have said something disrespectful like that. Being disrespectful was then punished, and being punished hurt. However, and somewhat surprisingly, Kai's father didn't reply, which Kai sighed with great relief.

"Remember what I said about Sota...Now I'll be back in about May." The blonde haired man, now entering the luxurious vehicle without much care in the world; had he not sensed the offence he had caused?

"Summer next year... Fair enough…" In summer, he would be away from his house, away from him. Away from punishment of any form, thank the lord for beyblading. Thank the lord for the BladeBreakers being here…

The team looked at Kai, who now, gladly opened the door and said,

"Well, you might as well come in…" he gave a glance it everyone. They all stepped in; their eyes almost fell out of their heads. Unlike the house that you would think a cold cruel person would have. (Cold, dark gloomy places, with cobwebs hanging from every ceiling,) Kai's home was the opposite as the walls and floors were white, pillars held up the other floor eight oak doors on the left and right side. A grand stair way running off into two separate, one to the left and the other to the right.

./. What is it? Master? ./. The phoenix was happy that her master wasn't hurt as badly as he usually was.

./. They all are giving me the 'I pity you look…Oh how irritating…/. Kai muttered back into an ocean of different feelings, he hated that they knew yet he was somewhat relieved. He wanted them to be a dream, that they would not know anything about his child-abusing dad. That they would still look at him with respect without any of that look, instead of just… Instead of just pity…

"Kai..?" Mr Dickenson asked, he was going to ask if he would be fine staying here alone, but Kai quickly answered it,

"He's gone so we'll be fine...You can all leave now." He didn't want them to leave; he wanted to tell them everything. That would make them see how his mind worked. Was that a good thing, the Abbey taught that having friends and people you trust is weak and disgraceful. Yet Tyson, managed to become World Champion three times in a row. He had many friends, went against everything that Kai was taught.

Kai was grateful for that. It showed life had more meaning than power.

"Your mum was a neko-gin?" Rei asked, although not actually expecting an answer.

"Yeah..." He muttered turning back to them, now full on, they could see the back of his collar, was a little rumpled due to the violent way it was tugged. Mr. Dickenson had then excused himself, unknown to the bladers; he was off to find 'someone.'

"That means your half neko-gin right?" Kenny piped up, taken aback that Kai, would answer a personal question.
"Whatever..." Guess not…
"That's so c-" everyone went to say but was interrupted by high squeals of joy,
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" a small figure slid down the banister, a small girl.
"What is that?" Tyson asked. Unsure of what to say, his ears were ringing now…His stomach growling, he was sure he was getting weird looks from the portraits…

"Sota...Ignore her and she shuts up." Kai said briefly and turned to the girl who was now smiling up at Kai.
"Why does she live here?" Kenny asked, briefly dismissing the thought of Kai having siblings.
"She's my sister." As soon as the words had left Kai's mouth, everyone dropped anime style – well apart from the Hiwatari siblings. Kai looked at the younger and tilted his head she began to smile, a broad and happy smile.

Her hair was long, just above the back of her knees, a blue colour – the same shade of Kai's. Her eyes, however were not anything like Kai's, he had crimson, and meanwhile, she had deep sky blue orbs. Her face was small and slightly pointed. She was very small, looked only about four, or maybe five. The group wanted to go up and see if she was real, though contained themselves as they did not know how Kai or 'Sota' would react.

"Why are you smiling?" he questioned.

"Because brother–I'm very happy!" She giggled, she went over to the BladeBreakers and waved "Hello, My name is Sota, nice to meet you all," she curtsied, and then smiled again at the BladeBreakers… Turn around and looked at her brother.

"Aww..." he replied sarcastically.
"Who's the people?" the girl asked.
"Just friends," The elder replied.
"Is dad here?" She asked innocently, a slight hint of fear in her voice.

"Gone," Was the only word Kai said as Sota clapped and smiled again. She was happy on only three conditions, one, dad would be out of the house. Two, if her dear brother was staying longer than a week and three, if she didn't have another attack - she would be happy if she didn't have another for a while.

Now the BladeBreakers, definitely could have been dreaming as they were sure Kai had smiled, ok only for a minor second but still he smiled as he watched the younger run around like someone who had caught fire.

"So where's the butler?" Kai asked when his sister had calmed herself down.
"Dad gave him the day off...Just before the bell rang." Sota said now getting bored and turned around to examine the new visitors.
"The maid and cook will most likely be gone again then..." Kai muttered to himself watching Sota carefully as she moved around the room getting closer to his so called friends.

She had found herself at Rei first and was walking around him with an extremely delighted look. "Brother…"

"What…" Kai eyed her suspiciously. Everyone was watching her as she tilted her head from left to right, blinking then tilting her head from right to left and blinking again.

"The butler wants a word with you, he's in the east kitchen…" she said simply.
"Sota…You are up to something." He replied and walked off through the second door on the right of the house.
"Come with me…!" She squeaked, instantly grabbing and linking hands with Rei, whom did not know how to handle the situation.
"Em, Sota, why are you holding Rei's hand?" Tyson said Rei knew that he was finding this little situation rather amusing.

Once they had gone through countless doors, and much to the surprise of everyone they got there five minutes after they had 'started their journey.' How big was this house exactly? So once in the reading room, that was the size of a, local public library (with maybe twice as many book as one,) everyone was relieved to sit down.

Sota however was keener on sitting on everyone's lap. "Hello what's your name?" She jumped up Max's lap and 'flicked' his nose. "Eh, Max, nice to meet you…" As soon as everyone had had their noses flicked and introduced themselves Sota went back to her newly found neko-gin friend.

"Why do you like Rei so much, Sota?"
"He looks like my father…"

Authors notes: Well I might as well proof read all my chapters the now huh? If you've just started reading this fiction, I hope you continue reading. Maybe even reviewing, but if your lazy (like some people I know –cough- me –cough-) you don't have to. Though if you have read this chapter, and reading it again – for some reason. I'll just say that now maybe everything such as spelling, most grammar will have been corrected… Well drop me a review… Or if you notice any other major typo's tell me! Well hope you enjoyed that!
