A/N: er….I have a very very good excuse as to why I didn't update for sooo long……really I do…..no really…..I just have to remember it first…..er….just gimme a sec……..er….

Thank you to artgirl150; Monarch; and Trinity of the phoenixes! You guys are the only reason I even bother to carry on wring/typing. Thank you so much !Please keep the reviews coming!

Oh! And I know that I'm supposed to update my other story too, but I just can't find the inspiration to write 'Unwanted power' any more. Don't get me wrong, I'm not discontinuing it. I'm just saying that it might be a while before I update it. I've got all the ideas and plot figured out in my head, but I just don't know how to put it down in text.

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or any of it's characters.

Warnings: OOC-ness (out of character-ness) mild language, and hints of abuse.

It only takes a spark, to get a fore going
Chapter 2 : Kai
"Mr D！ Mr D！"

The middle aged man looked up upon hearing his name being called.

A little girl, no older than seven, raced up to him, holding a brown teddy bear that was half her size to her small chest.

The young BBA president smiled fondly the girl as she half skipped; half ran up to him, his eyes warming at the sight of his god-daughter.

"Hello there Hikari-chan. How's my little lighthouse today?"

'Lighthouse' was his nickname for her. Seeing how much the little girl loved the sea and her name meant 'light'.

"I'm okay Mr D!" the young girl giggled in return, her crimson eyes shining in the morning light.

Stanley Dickenson smiled at his god-daughter warmly as she began to talk about everything that he had missed while he was away on his business trip.

Hikari really was his light. Whenever he was suffering from stress or overwork, Hikari was there to help and comfort. Even though she was only seven, she had this effect to make every worry and doubt disappear. She was like his lighthouse, guiding his boat with her light back to land.

"Mr D?"

The young man snapped out of his thought and focused on the little girl in front of him instead.

"Are you listening to me?" Hikari asked with a pout on her face.

"Of course Hikari-chan." He replied with a smile.

The little girl smiled in return and opened her mouth to say something, but instead of her childish voice speaking, it was a grown woman's instead.

"Stanley."

Stanley Dickenson looked at the girl in confusion. What happened to her voice?

"Stanley, wake up. We're here."

"Stanley, wake up. We're here." Judy gently shook the elderly man on the shoulder.''

"Huh? What?"

"We're here." Bruce repeated Judy's words to the newly woken BBA president.

"We're…oh right! Of course!"

Quickly arranging himself, the old man followed his younger friends out the car and through the hospital gates.

It had been almost two weeks since the boy had brought to the hospital. Ten days since he had first opened his eyes to the world. (Here, Stanley smugly patted his pocket where thirty bucks laid. He had won the bet. The boy's eyes were, like he had predicted, red, much to the shock of his companions.)

However, though the boy had woken, he doesn't seem to respond to anything. The doctors had run through a series of tests and had confirmed the boy to be neither blind nor deaf. So his unusual lack of response could only be explained by means of shock.

Stanley sighed, and ran a hand behind his neck. They were here to fetch the boy today. He had been claimed healthy and fit enough to leave, so the BBA president had took it upon himself to take the boy in.

He just wished that the young lad would start responding to the world soon. Not only because he needed some answers from the boy, but also because he really didn't like the way those crimson depths liked so lifeless and empty.

"Mr D."

The kind man looked up and realized that they were already by the door.

Sighing tiredly, he turned to his friends, "Guess we'd have to go get him." He smiled at his friends, who in turn, smiled back and nodded.

Opening the door to the room, the three adults walked in.

Seated on the bed, was a young boy no older than eight. His large crimson eyes which lacked so much life were fixed intently on the window, while his two-toned hair hung about his pale, young face.

"Kai?" Stanley called out softly, hoping to gain a response from the boy.

No such luck.

'Kai' was what the BBA president and his friends had temporarily named the boy.

They had figured out, by the end of the second day the boy had awoken, that by calling him 'the boy' was not only confusing, but inappropriate as well. And since he doesn't respond to anything, they had yet to find out what his real name was.

The group of friends had spent an entire evening, deciding what to name the 'silent lil' dude' as Gramps had now dubbed him as.

After much arguments and disagreements, they had finally decided on what Stanley had picked.

'Kai' meaning 'sea' in Japanese was Stanley's choice of name, seeing how much the young boy seemed to remind him of his god-daughter.

Bruce walked over to the bed and scooped the unresponsive boy into his arms, before turning to the rest.

"Let's go."

The other two simply nodded.

Bruce yawned and stretched out his sore muscles, while he waited for his tea to boil.

Light footsteps alerted him and he turned to see Judy standing in the doorway.

"Aren't you going to go to bed yet?" she asked.

Bruce shook his head and replied. "Nah, I've still got a report to do."

"Well don't stay up too long, it's getting late."

"Yes ma'm."

Judy shot him an amused look before heading off to bed.

Bruce sighed and poured out his tea. Turning around, he jumped when he saw a small figure standing in front of him.

"Kai!" He gasped. "Don't scare me like that!"

Quickly moving around the child to avoid the tea spilling on him, Bruce sat down at the table. To his ultimate surprise, Kai followed him and looked up at the man in curiosity.

Pointing a small finger to the cup, Kai asked him silently.

Getting over his initial shock that the boy was actually responding to the world, he quickly smiled and pointed to his cup.

"Tea." He said gently, "Do you want some?"

"Tea?" Kai repeated, confused.

"Uh…..." Bruce thought long and hard how to explain. Damn! What's the Russian word for 'Tea'?

"Well er….it's…"

"What is 'Tea'? I've never heard of it before."

"You don't know? Well, it's a kind of drink you get when you mix water with-"

Bruce stopped in mid-sentence, his eyes widened considerably. Realization hitting him hard, he stared at the child in disbelief.

"Wait a minute! Did you just speak Japanese!"

Dun Dun Dun Dun…..

Yeah! I've finally finished the chapter！I hope I did ok though. Please review and tell me how I did oki?

I'm sorry if this seems a bit off from the first chapter, but I kinda lost my first copy of my first chapter when I wrote this and I forgot what I wrote in the first chappie. And by the time I found the first chapter, I couldn't change this chapter to match it.

and to answer Monarch's question, yes, the boy is Kai though i'm sure you've figured that out after reading this chapter, and as to why he is so young. well, this happened right after Kai first got BDranzer and after he blew half the abbey in half. It's about seven years before the Bladebreakers were formed if that helps. (i'm pretty sure i've mentioned the time line in the first chapter though)
