Chapter 7
Tyson looked at he man again, slightly confused, "So, who are you?" he couldn't remember getting an answer…
"Kai's Father." The man said, still smiling other the current situation, Kai had friends, maybe he could possibly be forgiven, by Kai himself…
"But wasn't that guy with the blonde hair, Kai's father?" Tyson was a bit confused, in fact now he was completely dumbfounded. The blonde guy said he was Kai's father – and this was suppose to be the one with the blonde hair… Now the 'Dad' was saying he was the 'Father.'
"Who…Oh," The father laughed, when he realised what had happened, no wonder the boy – had the most lost look on his face. The man was now in hysterics.
"What's so funny?" Tyson tilted his head, now this guy – he was worrying about, one he was either finding something, sane very funny. Or he had just invited a random nutter into the house…
"Well, there seems to be a misunderstanding." He said after a while, finding some sort of strength to stop laughing. The irony in this….
"Huh?" Tyson still confused…
"You see that man, you saw, was Kai's stepfather…" The Hiwatari family member explained, slightly – there was a lot more than him just being a stepfather. Not like he'd tell a total stranger that. Then again Kai trusted this boy… Maybe he could?
More children came out of the living room, well one of the living rooms, there were three more, his eyes quickly scanned the others, he noted that these were the 'BladeBreakers.' He nodded and smiled, and explained the same thing he had to Tyson.
"Let's go sit down shall we?" The raven haired man said, still smiling.
"Sure." They all replied in unison.
They all sat down on one of the two couches. Mr Hiwatari was sitting next to, Tyson and next to him was Rei. The other couch had Max and Kenny.
"So how did you meet Kai's Grandfather?" Kai's father asked wondering if they had been told, or just happened to find out.
"He well, gave Kai into trouble, for being cheeky." Rei began, not really sure if any of them should tell them about what kind of 'punishment' was used.
"Well, then I suppose he deserved it." Adonis replied, not picking up on the hesitant reply he received.
"Still didn't give him the right to –" Tyson frowned, and was about to yell, before he was cut off by Rei – to a jab to the ribs.
"Shush." Rei muttered, glancing at Mr. Hiwatari.
"What did it not give him the right to do?" he seemed to have picked up that, something was wrong in the household… His household.
"Nothing?" Tyson said… Lying was not Tyson's good quality, Adonis saw through that mask easily.
"Please, I am not going to shout at Kai – no matter what he's done." The man looked at Tyson then to Rei, pleading with children, to his own father would be disgraceful to him – he was just curious and slightly concerned
"He didn't do anything…" Tyson muttered, remembering the very first incident he witnessed, he did feel sorry for Kai at one point but now – he thought he knew Kai slightly better, than he had.
"May you explain?" The man, now a puzzled look on his face.
"…Em…Well Mr. Hiwatari…Kai sort of got hit…" Tyson continued not wanting to say, that Kai was hit in front of everyone, and humiliated as well,
"By whom and why?" Adonis Hiwatari's concern levels had now hit over flow, and now his anger was rising, he wanted to know.
"His stepfather, for no reason…" Max muttered, if father was like son, then they did not want to hear a yelling from this guy, that was certain.
"Oh…Really?" He raised an eyebrow a plan forming in his mind.
Kai was still sitting there, his legs felt cold, his mind was foggy, and he was deciding if he could even stay awake. One night without sleep he had done before – but not when some one's life, was possibly in danger
"I better go down stairs…" he whispered, he stood up, swaying a little bit, but regaining balance quickly, he left his mothers and brothers grave. Still unaware, at this moment in time that his father was in the house.
"Hm…" Adonis was thinking, if only he could get that pathetic man here, what would he leave anything to do or have?
"Mr. Hiwatari, are you ok?" The room had been silent for about five minutes, the children watching Kai's father going through hundreds of emotions, he was definitely thinking of something…
"Yes… So, do you have any idea how long this is going on for?" Kai's father snapped out of his 'zoned- out' period.
"No…" Kenny sighed, he was getting more and more aware of why Kai was so distant when he came back, and why he began distancing himself again, when the beyblade season was just about up.
"Hm…May I ask your help with something?" The Hiwatari said, simply looking from child to child.
"Eh sure." The all agreed, if it was to help him, maybe he was going to help Kai? If not they might as well hope for, not too much training.
"Anyone good at acting?" The man replied, still glancing at each child. At this moment, all the kids faces had gone blank, trying to figure out what he was planning.
"I suppose I'm ok…" Rei replied, he wasn't the best but he was better than most of the group and Tyson, could only be relied on if it was one of those 'could-never-happen-ever' ideas… Which always failed, somehow.
"Good, Good. This is what I want you to do." He began talking in hushed whispers, no one noticed as the camera began to swivel and was now looking at Adonis Hiwatari, straight on…
In the security room, their sat a confused, and angry teen,
"Why is he here?" Kai groaned, shouting, yelling, he had found out hadn't he? He knew about Sota, he was here to exile him – since why else would he be here? He wouldn't come back after all these years, why just pick this time? No he knew for certain, no doubt in Kai's mind that he knew.
./. Who knows, maybe he has found out about what you done. ./. The phoenix agreed with Kai's silent thoughts, although, wasn't thinking – it was certain more like….Highly Probable.
"Probably." He agreed once again with his bitbeast.
./. So what will you do? ./. The fire bird asked, wanting to see if Kai would comfort the person he hated so much, or run and hide like he used to – with anything abnormal.
"I don't know…I'm, so confused…" he whispered, staring at the screen that held a moving picture of his father and friends, something seemed to be happening, Rei was phoning someone. Kai didn't want the sound on – muted that was what he had done, to each and every screen.
./. Don't worry, I'm sure if you went and talked to him he would tell you -./. Dranzer was interrupted.
"Tell me what? That I'm a failure!" Kai yelled back, everyone was against him at the moment, his father, now telling his friends about the Sota incident, any money… That Rei was calling Mr. Dickenson to come and get them all to get away from their 'monster' captain.
./. Kai, I think you're the only one who believes that. ./. Dranzer argued back, not wanting it's master to feel so bad…
"Be quiet your just trying to say 'nice' calming things to try and reason with me. If anyone, I repeat so your pathetic mind can keep up! If anyone found out what I done – they would hate me!" he yelled, surprised that no one in the other rooms could hear him.
./. Kai…Just go speak to him that's all I'm saying…/. Dranzer was hurt a little with the 'pathetic mind', comment, but Dranzer would not say anything to offend or heighten her Masters mood. So the bitbeast left it's masters mind…
"Damn you Dranzer." He cursed, he didn't want to be alone…
"What, so you'll come and collect Kai? Yes mister Hiwatari, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Rei put on his most grown up voice – it seemed to pull off, as the man at the other end huffed and said he'd be back to teach his son, a 'lesson'.
"So is he coming?" The head of the Hiwatari house asked, wondering if his plan would work.
"He was only at a hotel at the boarders of Russia, so much for being in a business meeting." Rei scoffed, he couldn't imagine on how Kai could put up with a type of father like that, even if it was just his stepfather…
"What's your plan Mr. Hiwatari?" Max asked, quite unsure of how inviting Kai's stepfather, going to help him not hitting Kai.
"Please, please, call me Adonis, well not in front of Kai – he'll go ballistic." Adonis added, making Kai any angrier than he would originally be when he saw him – was not a good idea.
"Why?" Tyson asked, he called his Grandfather, Gramps and the rest of his team even called the old man by Tyson's chosen nickname.
"I left him…Sold him after that…" Adonis sighed, not really wanting to tell the children anymore than would be good for them. Kai would end up trying to kill him, or a very large amount of bodily harm.
"What? Why?" Tyson yelled, frowned, and then his liking for the Hiwatari member, decreased, a lot.
"Well you see, in fact, it would be better to show you – there was a television bulletin on the news, I'm sure we still have a tape of it some where." Adonis got up and started searching around the room, looking behind shelves and other small objects, that a tape could be hidden in.
"Wouldn't Kai throw it out?" Kenny inquired, thinking, if Kai had something that caused him pain – there was a good possibility that he would through it out.
"Only if he knew where it was hidden." Adonis smiled and his hand went to the back of the bookcase, he pulled out a small black tape.
"Here it is." He called.
Everyone sat around the television, hoping to find out what happened,
The tape blurred and then a woman came on with, the background the Hiwatari's mansion…
"Today, a terrible tragic event has happened, a drunken driver was behind the wheel of an oil tanker and crashed into a limo that belonged to the Hiwatari family…"
The BladeBreakers gasped,
"Wow… Was everyone ok?" Max asked, he looked at Adonis who, put a finger to his lips and nodded towards the television again.
"- Many people died, now the Hiwatari family, once over one hundred people living in the mansion behind me, is deduced to five…"
Everyone gasped again, shocked by the reduced number of the family. How many people died exactly – how much family did Kai loose that day?
"Oh my god…All of Kai's family…" Tyson muttered, realising that, no wonder with a childhood, like Kai had, no wonder he was distant to all social contact…
"-Today, the head of the house, Adonis Hiwatari, came and gave a speech," The boys perked up, wondering if this was one of the reason's why Kai would hate his father so much.
"-I'm heartbroken at the loss…Yet I some how feel partly responsible for letting my family out, to have a day of fun. I do know that the man who did this lived, and I do not want to burden him, for any lawsuits, as the blood of my family will be in his head forever. -" The BladeBreakers stomachs knotted and not in a good way. The were started to realise more and more – why anyone would hate this man. Was he even sorry?
"- So there you have it, any more updates, and I'll talk to you, soon, -" The woman said, now the television went black, the tape ended.
"Why did you do that… Let the man get away with killing everyone." Tyson was the first to talk – though he would never admit it, he was feeling, really bad – for all the times he had called his captain a sourpuss, or ice prince…
"My own father made me…" Adonis sighed again, he didn't know how he had done it then, his own father was exiled form the family, he couldn't have done anything. Or was he just afraid of his father altogether?
"Why?" Kenny asked, slightly confused why someone wouldn't want to get some justice for that many dead family members.
"He said, if I remember, if I told anyone that I was feeling sad, and wanting vengeance some people might get the wrong message…" Adonis said, trying to remember what it was his own father had said.
"How exactly?" Kenny asked, the logic was now gone…
"Who knows, I was, stupid I suppose…" he concluded, he was stupid, he was inexperienced in being head of the family… He needed help, from the person he exiled…
"So Kai hates you because you never found out who done that?" Rei said, trying to figure this all out…
"No, no you see…" Adonis was going to have to tell the kids what happened, and he really did want to talk to Kai first…
"What…are they talking about?" Kai asked, still he did not dare to put the sound on, thinking that his friends were now being told about Sota… Kai couldn't take it, clicking on a few controls, he decided he would put the volume up… Just to hear what they were saying to each other.
./. Now your just being nosy…./. Dranzer didn't want Kai to turn the sound up, just in case they were all talking about Sota… That would destroy Kai.
"Be quiet…" He hissed back, the volume going a little higher, he looked at the screen, his father sitting down, his friends surrounding him, he was talking…
"- you see Kai hates me-" "because – I sold him, well traded him, for Sota's life." His father was explaining.
Kai almost started shouting… He continued watching.
"What you mean, traded?" Max asked, surely they didn't trade a child for another.
"After the accident, well I'm sure you can guess that Kai's biological mother, died, but she was pregnant when she was in the crash, Sota was still unborn…" Adonis carried on. Only to be interrupted by Kenny.
"So, how is Sota alive today."
"Well, I begged my own father to help – he held a grudge because I helped everyone else exile him for the 'Abbey idea,' and so I begged him to save my little girl… Kai's mother was still breathing, so Sota still had a chance to live – even though everyone knew Enya would die…" He sighed slightly, and shifted his seat.
"So he had to save Sota in exchange for letting him have Kai?" Tyson frowned, it didn't seem very fair.
"No, I didn't make that condition, it was the only way he would save Sota – I was, weak… And how he knew it." Adonis Hiwatari sighed, again, he really was not comfortable talking to kids about this, and he really needed to speak with Kai.
"So he emotionally blackmailed you?" Kenny concluded.
"No – I cannot give myself excuses for what I done. I handed Kai over, that's a fact – if I was any kind of a father, I wouldn't have." At least he wasn't making excuses, Kai thought, at least he wasn't lying to his friends…
"Is that why you left?" Max asked,
"I left – to get Kai back."
"Ok, now I'm lost." Max replied, looked at the adult like he had grown another head.
"Once I had Sota, and she was one, Kai was taken, by Voltaire, and disappeared, so I remarried, giving Sota a mother… So I disappeared, so then when the Hiwatari fortune was to be given to the next person, which would have been Kai – I hoped that Voltaire would show… Though he didn't…"
"So you were trying to trap him…? If it didn't work why did you come back?"
"Hm…Well as you know 'my' wife also thought I was dead and was aloud to remarry… So I couldn't have come back or else she would be put in jail for being married to two people and that would ruin the family name... the usual..."
The security camera blinked a few times, indicating someone was coming up the drive, eventually it blinked again – they were now at the door. Who ever it was.
"Someone's at the door…" Kai muttered, wondering who was the new arrival.
./. Change camera's see who it is. ./. Dranzer suggested, Kai clicked a few buttons and the screen changed to the camera, outside of the house. Kai froze… It was him, it was Kai's stepfather, and he looked mad, as hell…
"W-w-why is he here?" Kai stuttered, his blood turned cold, what had he done now?
./. don't ask me and my pathetic mind ./. Dranzer snapped, Dranzer could do nothing to help Kai, so, it was maybe a good idea to get Kai angry so he could defend himself a little better than usual.
"…" Kai gave no response, did he know about Sota? Wait why would he even care?
The front door flew open, and a blonde haired baboon, came rampaging passed, the maids and butlers stood still, thinking if they moved or were noticed that they would be at the end of his fist…
"BOY! WHERE ARE YOU!" He did not liking the fact that he was now missing a poker game, with one of his comrades, still a good thrashing to that boy, and he would never do it again. Whatever 'it', was.
The BladeBreakers winced as they heard the man shouting and arguing with staff outside. Adonis stayed calm and unaffected by the brutes ranting.
"Tell him to come in here…" Adonis said softly, seeing if the children would actually go near something, like that for a favour….
"What are you going to do?" Rei asked, the man looked bigger and stronger than the head of house… So he couldn't win a fight, could he?
"Please, tell that pathetic use, of a man to come in here, and please all of you leave, once he's in the room, and do not come in, ever. Until I come out… Understand?" Adonis, crossed his legs, no fear whatsoever, as the 'big bad wolf' came nearer.
"What? Yeah, sure Mr. Hiwatari…" The all muttered, they left to tell the man going insane outside where 'his son was.'
"What's he doing?" Kai tilted his head, a little perplexed about what was happening, he really didn't think both male icons would be in the house at the same time.
./. I think I may know…./. Dranzer said weakly… Not wanting to go any further.
"...What?" Kai was a bit clueless, and Dranzer knew that, a whole night of worrying and no sleeping can do that to even the best of minds.
./Watch if you dare too./. Dranzer said, and vanished, not wanting to watch…
"KA-!" The man bellowed into the room, but instead of a frightened little boy he met the eyes of a determined man.
"So I hear you've been hitting my boy?" The stranger sat to him, he was anger that someone who call his punch-bag their son, he was legally responsible. Still he could call that pathetic thing, his son if he wanted to.
"No, who told you that? That stupid kid of yours?" He sneered. Adonis stayed sitting, not rising to the challenge just yet.
"No, someone else… Another reason why I don't give people keys to the security room…" He looked up at the camera… Kai blinked, did his dad know he was here?
"Well, it's been a fake, made by your son, or daughter for that matter!" The blonde gave feeble excuses.
"Really? Although my son, and daughter are smarter than average people – I still don't believe they can do something like that…" The raven haired man smiled, trying to aggravate the blonde giant. Soon Adonis was in fits of laughter.
"What do you find funny about this situation – I'm missing an important meeting!" He yelled back – not finding anything nearly funny.
"Important meeting, important this and that! You really think I'll believe you over my own children, or their friends?" He laughed, his voice filled with am mocking tone. The man was an idiot.
"Hmph. You're the pathetic one! Can't even keep your children under control!" The man spat, thinking of the time Kai actually fought back – which had hurt him rather badly.
"Under control? They are not animals! You're the beast here!" He was still smiling, a smug and happy voice on, he was winning the mind game all right…
"WHAT? I'm not going to be insulted in MY house!" He yelled at the intruder.
"What…Why is… Dad defending us?" Kai whispered, not really knowing why – he was sure Dad knew how much he himself hated him…
./. Like I said Kai. He loves you and Sota – and even if you hate him, he'll never let you, be hurt, by a monster like that./. Dranzer said, maybe Kai was beginning to understand that his father, had tried his hardest and failed. Other than not tried at all…
"Doubt it, why did he left Grandfather do all those things to me then?" He hissed.
./. He was even scared of the man ./. Dranzer replied simply.
"Insulted? You think that's what I've called you here for?" Adonis was still smiling, still in his eat, still his legs crossed.
"Then what?" the man had calmed down, slightly, a few wrong words and he could be off again.
"Tell me what exactly did you do to Kai?" An eyebrow raised.
"Hit him, wasn't that obvious?" The blonde rolled his eyes, much like a child…
"No I've not seen him yet." He said truthfully, again he looked at the camera…
"Well look at his neck – that was a fun night." The blonde thought that if his father hadn't saw him – then maybe he could fake a few injuries, try and provoke him – then he would win.
"…So anything else?" Adonis did not seem phased by anything the blonde was saying.
"Well, apart from kicking the shit out of the dear boy – Yes." He said sickly – the guy was going a little too far, for Adonis's liking.
"…What?" He kept his anger in check, taking a deep breath every now and then.
"Wouldn't you like to know!" He yelled, a happy sort of tone. He was definitely going too far…
"He didn't even do anything else…" Kai muttered, thinking his stepfather was the second sickest bastard in the whole world. Number one was obviously Grandfather. He just took the gold, each time.
./. Just trying to provoke your dad, nothing more./. Dranzer said, the tactic was used in beyblading a lot – Kai should have picked up on it, he was too tired, he needed to go to bed.
"I want dad…To win…Against that…" He whispered, hoping no one would hear him…He watched, hoping that the ind games would stop and his own father would just batter the blonde...
Adonis was still sitting, a frown upon his features, getting angrier and angrier at the, monster before him.
"So…You picked on my son, and daughter… Just because you were bored?" He snapped, the man would have to watch what he would say. Very carefully indeed.
"Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?" The stepfather raised an eyebrow, no matter what – he was bigger, so that obviously meant he was stronger…
Adonis stood up, and now, completely filled with hate for the blonde man before him, he stood, very close to the 'giant' though, he was faster, and quickly punched him, the man gave out a muffled groan. Stumbling backwards, he wiped the small amount of blood that had come from his nose. Though Adonis was not finished, he kicked into the man's chest, though the blonde quickly grabbed his leg.
Kai gulped, if even his own father could get himself battered by that blonde ape, who could defeat him?
The blonde man smirked, looking quiet smug with himself for stopping an attack. Yet Adonis looked quiet calm. The man fell to the ground, Adonis had kicked the blondes head, by jumping up and kicking him, with his one free leg – he had won, a pathetic and easy battle.
"My dad…" Kai muttered, smirking slightly, well maybe he wasn't going to be as mad, as he was when he was going to speak with him…
./. Is cool?./. Dranzer added, however that status still seemed far off…
"No… stronger than I thought…" Kai said defensively not wanting anyone to know that his father was now slightly more respected than he once was.
./. Right. ./. Dranzer mocked, and giggled. At least Kai no longer despised his father.
Adonis stood over the now fallen stepfather.
"Hmm….Now we have children in the house… So I'll get one of my butlers, to assort you out. Don't come back here." Adonis hissed, frowning at the site of what, was meant to in charge of the house. The butler was called, he came and tugged the stepfather along the corridors and out of the house, slamming the door in his face…
"Hm… Now wonder where Kai is…?" Adonis scratched his head, wondering were his son could be… A smile played on his lips, as he looked up to the camera…
Kai blinked, he did know he was in his room... He must have, how?
