Silverwolf: -walks in with kenny- and I thought that he actually LIKED Raman, but this is a first!

Kai: -looks up with the smallest bit if interest- what the hell are you talking about onna?

Silverwolf: -ignores the added comment- Tyson hates Raman!

Kai:-chokes- DAMN! You sure?

Silverwolf: yup! You guys already know I don't own beyblade, so here we go! WEEEEEEEE!

Kai: -blinks then turns on Max- you gave her the damn crispy cakes didn't you!

Max: -blinks- gotta go! –runs out the door-

Note: now, if I get anything wrong, don't blame me…I'm just going on what I had learned from other fics. And Kai is 8 in this fic for now. Or at least this chapter. It's one year progress a chapter, so you get the point. lol

Why am I here………..?

What happened to me……?

Why cant I remember anything…..?

When will I wake up…….?

Why am I alone……..?

A lone small figure floated in a large glass tube, an opaque blue liquid surrounding it. The figures eyes fluttered open slowly, glancing around with a narrowed sleepy gaze. It caught sight of two figures conversing quietly, pointing and looking at him every few seconds. This confused the boy. Where was he? Where were his parents? What had happened? His head hurt like he had been hit by a truck. He just wanted to go back to sleep…he was so tired…and confused…he wanted it all to go away, to leave him alone.

Just then, the liquid started draining from the container he was in. he stayed in his curled position, his arms wrapped around his knees and his eyes narrowed sleepily. When all of the liquid was gone, the tank was opened and the wires were unhooked from his thin frame. One of the men from before picked him up, carrying him into a room that he didn't recognize. Another person was in the room, one he did recognize…Voltaire.

His eyes widened, but the child did nothing, simply staring at the man that he would soon learn to fear and hate. "Hello Kai…. I see you have awakened. That's good." He said, but the child continued to stare at him as if he was a giant rat, with one eyebrow raised and golf-ball sized eyes. The man soon started glaring, not taking his eyes off of Kai. "Boris…leave." He said, his voice calm but commanding. The other quickly left, going to return to his job.

Kai sat on the floor, still staring at the man. He knew who he was; there was no mistaking the face. But why was he here? He wasn't supposed to be around his grandfather! The other seemed to have read his thoughts, and smiled at him in a fake way. "I see you've noticed. Why are you here? Well, Kai, I hate to be the one to tell you, but your parents are gone. You live with me now…" he said, earning a frightened look from the child.

"Where is my mom and dad?" Kai asked, backing up against the wall. "They said not to go near you, they said you were bad, they said-" he was cut off as Voltaire growled at him. "Shut up! You have no right to talk to me in such a manner, boy. You will be staying here in the abbey and you will be trained, end of conversation. It's already settled. Goodbye." Voltaire said, just as Boris came back and grabbed him by the arm, dragging him down the hall and to a cold looking room. It was dark, with a small window in the corner. When the door closed behind him, the room became enveloped in darkness, a gray shadow cast over the gloomy room. The walls and floor were made of a cold smoky colored brick.

"When will I get out of here?…where is here?" he added, crystalline tears coming from his eyes. He sat down against the wall, drawing his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them, burying his face in them. He wanted to go home, to be out of this cold place. But he would soon learn that nobody ever gets what they really want.

He got up and walked around the room, studying everything in it. A plain white bed…and nothing. That's all there was. At least…that's all he thought there was.

"Who are you?" a voice asked, a small figure about his age coming out from the shadows. The boy, was wearing a white outfit, with black fingerless gloves on. Long black hair cascaded down to his mid-back, wide gold eyes studying him curiously, Kai noted that the boy's ears were quiet pointed.

"…I'm Kai….." Kai said quietly, staring at the other. How had he seemed to just appear out of nowhere? The boy walked over to him, his calm eyes disturbingly hopeless. "So…you're Voltaire's grandson?" the boy asked, his eyes narrowing as he hissed. "Gr…I cant believe he would do something like this to his own flesh and blood…" the boy said, growling and looking to the ground. Kai's eyebrows furrowed. What did the other mean?

"Well…I guess I should warn you while you still have a chance. You're at the abbey…there really isn't a way to say what your going to go through without it sounding terrible. So I'll just tell you, they're going to train you. Mercilessly. They'll punish you, Kai…but if you show pain it will be worse…just try and bare it…we'll get out of here one day…" the boy said.

Kai's eyes widened in fear, as he sat down on the bed. "Why is he doing this? Why cant he just leave us alone?" Kai asked, tears falling from his eyes again. The other sighed, looking down as he sat beside him. "Well…I think he's doing it to make the ultimate beyblader..you know what beyblade is, right?" the boy asked. Kai nodded, and pulled a small blue beyblade out of his pocket, cradling it in his hands. "Yeah…this is dranzer…" he said, showing the beyblade to the other. The Neko-jin sitting beside him nodded in approval, holding a white one out. "This is driger. They only let me keep him because I use him to get stronger. Kai, don't let them take dranzer away from you….you don't know how much she'll help. If you want, I can be your friend here…" the boy said.

"Thanks…I'm going to need one, from the sound of it…by the way…what is your name?" Kai asked, not having heard it from the other ever since he had gotten into the room. The other looked away, before glancing back at him, his serious gold eyes glittering with an unspoken promise of protection.

"…I'm Rei…….."

Silverwolf: -laying on ground with swirly eyes- aaaagh!

Kai: -walking around with a huge mallet in his hands- HA! That's for making me relive that stupid memory!

Silverwolf: more to come, more to come! Oh, and guys..this wont be yaoi…sorry KaixRei fans, cant do anything for ya.

Rei: -walks in with a bag of frozen fish- what happened when I was gone?

Silverwolf: well…you missed the first chapter, and well…uh…hehe, Kai tried to kill me.

Kai: damn straight I did… -holds up mallet threateningly-

Silverwolf: -hides behind Rei- save me, kitten! –peeks out from behind him to see Kai closer with the mallet- ahh! Eep! Read and review people, I don't want Kai killing me!
