Alright! Sorry everyone! I went on vacation and kind of decided to ignore most electronic items! Anyways... Here's a new chapter! Now, for all you faint hearts. Next chapter will be very mature. If you don't want to read. Leave. Or skip ahead like three or so chapters. Or just read the author notes to know which ones will have mature features. There will be rape and violence. It's how I wanted to write it. If you don't like.. Get out. Now. I don't want to hear bitching from people who thought I was sick and twisted. I know I am. I'm giving you warnings.
Also, there are mentions of sex in here, but nothing yet. So, this is your last chance. And this story will be switched over to M. It will be very mature. You have like 12 hours before it will be changed to M.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but for Tai and Tyler!
"Why must I always run away?!" Tai yelled.
She stood outside of the stadium, behind the building, pounding her fists into a nearby tree.
"That's all I'm good at now a days," Tai mumbled to herself.
"You are good at other things too, you know," a voice came from behind her.
Tai flipped around to face the person behind her. He had curly blonde hair and honey eyes. His black skin tight shirt gripped at his chest as his green jacket kept him warm from the Russian cold. His camouflage pants reached over his black boots.
"Tyler?" Tai asked, shocked.
The person nodded and gave her a smirk.
"Who else could I be?" He said.
Tai wasted no time in jumping into his arms, giving him a big hug.
"I've missed you so much!" Tai said.
Tyler returned her hug, then held her at arms length.
"Why did you run from the site? We were so close to breaking the last bit of the code," Tyler asked, getting to the point.
Tai looked away and frowned.
"I wasn't completely honest with you, Tyler," she shook off his hands. "I wasn't a college student there to help. I was hiding from some bad people."
Tyler gave her a concerned look, then sighed.
"You could have told me. You know I would have understood."
Tai switched her glance at him. "But then they would have hurt you! They were going after anyone who was close to me! That's how they got to her!"
"I thought she died in a car accident," he said.
"No, she was murdered! They killed her," Tai cried. A memory of blood pooling on the ground from a deformed body flashed past her eyes and tears formed in her eyes.
Tyler gripped her in another hug to hush her.
"It's alright. You're safe now." Tyler comforted her.
She pushed him off and wiped her tears away. "Thanks, Tyler. I have to go now, but I promise I'll see you after the tournament."
"You mean the championships?"
"Yeah, I have to help my brother."
"Brother?" Tyler's interest peaked. "You never told me you have a brother."
"His name is Kai. Kai Hiwatari."
"You mean from the Blade Breakers?"
"Yep. The one and only. He's my twin."
"I can't believe I never put that together," Tyler scrubbed the back of his head.
Tai smiled, "not a lot of people knew that we are twins."
Tai looked down to the watch on Tyler's left hand. She suddenly realized the time and ran from him.
"Sorry, Tyler!" She screamed back. "I'll find you after the battles!"
Tyler reached after her, confused. "Tai!"
Tai quickly made her way into the BBA building and dashed down the halls, dodging the few people that got in her way. She made a turn, looking the other way, and ran into a body. She tumbled to the ground and looked up to apologize.
"Boris!"
"Miss Tai. I see you are well," Boris frowned down at her.
She jumped to her feet and clenched her fists.
"What are you planning now, Boris? There's no way you will beat the Blade Breakers at this rate!"
"I wouldn't say that so soon. We have already defeated your brother, the traitor." Boris smirked.
Tai growled and narrowed her eyes.
"You watch, they will beat you!"
"Not when I have Salemite and Dranzer on my side again."
She cried out as she threw a punch at him. He easily dodged it and kicked her in the back as she flew past him. He reached down and lifted her by her hair. He leaned to her ear as she thrashed against his hold.
"You will listen to me, Tai. You are still in debt to Biovolt. Don't you ever forget that."
He threw her against the wall and watched as she slumped to the ground. He kicked her while she was down, sending her flying down the hall. She stumbled to her feet and charged at him.
"I owe you nothing!"
"You obviously don't recall the state I found you in years ago."
Tai's shoulders slumped as she remembered where she was five years ago. A shiver made its way down her spine and she clenched her fists.
"Sitting under a street light on the side of the road in Saint Petersburg. Half alive with nothing to live for," Boris drilled the memory into her brain.
"Stop it!" Tai shouted.
Not expecting the outrage, Boris stumbled backwards when Tai punched him in the stomach. He gripped his injury and growled.
"Now, you will pay."
Boris grabbed her again and pulled her down the hall way. "You should have stayed in America."
Tai fought against him, but it did nothing against his grasp. Boris reached a door marked with 'authorized personnel only' and threw her in. She stumbled before falling to her hands and knees. She hissed at the sting of the tiled flooring bruised her palms.
"Get up, Taireina!" Boris demanded.
The door swung shut behind him as he stepped towards her. She slowly got to her feet, but refused to turn around.
"You will face me, Taireina."
Tai ignored him. Boris grabbed her shoulder and turned her around.
"You disobedient child! Have you no respect for the man who gave you shelter and food. You received education because of me!"
Tai closed her eyes as Boris's horrible breath hit her skin.
"You are unappreciative of the gifts and pleasures you have been given," Boris frowned. "Disrespectful. It would seem the punishments you received under my care didn't teach you enough!"
Boris back handed her, sending her sprawling to the ground.
"Here's your new lesson, Taireina."
Boris bent over her and lifted her to her feet by her hair. She whimpered at the pain, but instantly bit it back when Boris raised his fist. His fist crashed into her skull, making her head spin.
"You will learn to respect your elders, Taireina!"
He kneed her in the ribs and she coughed through the pain emitting from her chest.
"You will learn to appreciate what you have been given, Taireina," Boris continued his onslaught.
He dropped her to the ground and kicked her in her gut. She was at a lose of breath as he repeatedly kicked her in the stomach. Tai kept her hands out of the way of his boot, not wanting broken hands.
"You will learn to listen to me, Taireina."
Boris straightened out and glared down at the motionless teen. Her hair tie had broken, leaving the long strands to drape over her face and across the floor. Her hair easily reached her hip, but was messy from Boris's grip. She mumbled something nearly inaudible.
"What was that?" Boris snapped.
She pushed herself up so that she was sitting and wrapped an arm around her torso while the other covered her sore cheek. She moved her blank stare up to him.
"You have no right to call me that, you bastard." Tai confidently said.
Boris growled before picking her up by her shirt.
"You haven't bled enough to have learned your lesson," Boris sneered.
He threw her back to the ground before reaching under his cape for a whip. He straightened out the chord, caressing the leather. Tai watched in hidden fear as he unwrapped the whip.
"I see you remember this. Good. I will be reuniting you two!"
Boris snapped the whip across Tai's collar bone, leaving a thin bleeding line.
"Now stand up!"
Tai scooted backwards, only to be stopped when the whip slashed across her left leg.
"On your feet!" Boris commanded.
Tai forced her shaking body to stand.
"Now turn around."
Tai closed her eyes as she slowly turned around. The sting crossed her back made her gasp in shock. Several more slashes rained on her back before she could even catch her breath. She went to scream, but every crack of the whip tightened her throat, preventing her from any sound.
Minutes seemed to turn into hours as Boris continued the beating. She could feel blood drip down her back and soak her torn shirt. She became light headed from holding her breath and felt her body pull to the ground, but remained standing.
Tai's eyes blurred and her breath came up short. She tumbled to her knees when the whipping stopped. She could barely make out Boris's heavy boots hitting the ground as he came up to her.
"Look at you. Still weak as ever."
Boris kicked Tai onto her back and bent down to hover over her.
"Your body is good for only one thing and I promise you that it will serve that purpose soon," Boris stated.
Tai spat at Boris, hitting his cheek. Boris wiped his cheek as he growled. He lifted Tai by her collar and pulled his fist back. Tai closed her eyes waiting for the pain.
"Ungrateful brat!"
"That's enough, Boris," Tala's voice reached Tai's ears, bringing her attention to the red head holding Boris's arm.
"Release me, Tala. Or prepare for a punishment," Boris warned.
"I won't let you hurt her."
Tala put his eyes on Tai's.
"And I won't believe your lies any longer either," Tala stated in a very firm voice.
Boris growled.
"You will pay for your deceit," Boris yelled, flinging Tala away. "This girl has made you soft, again, Tala. I will not let that stop me from winning the championships and taking the Blade Breakers bit beasts!"
Boris dropped Tai, leaving her to bleed on the floor. He then, pulled Tala to his feet and shoved him out of the room.
"Tala!" Tai cried after him, biting back the pain.
Tala turned to her as Boris led him away. Tai scrambled to her feet and started to chase after him, but her beaten body made her into a heap.
"No! Tala!" Tai screamed.
She forced herself up and leaned against a wall to stabilize herself. She could feel blood against her skin and the bruises throbbing on her bones. She felt her chest tighten as she began to cough. She collapsed to her knees and covered her mouth, only to feel liquid pour into it. She glanced at her hand and felt her head spin as the blood in her hand fell to the floor.
"Damn," she whispered, falling to the floor.
Her vision began to blur as she saw feet running towards her.
"Tai!"
She fell to the darkness as Tyler came to her rescue. He skidded to a halt over her limp form.
"Tai? Can you hear me?"
When she didn't respond, he lifted her into his arms and made a mad dash down the hall. Tyler wasted no time in running to the hospital. With only one thing on his mind, he didn't notice the blue haired teen leaning up against the wall.
Tai's body shivered against the freezing winds as she huddled on the cold streets of Saint Petersburg. Her thin jacket proved nothing to keep her warm and her short skirt and fishnets weren't any better. She blew into her hands to try to regain feeling, but even her breath couldn't bring heat back to her finger tips. She grew tired and slumped against a street lamp. She glimpsed up at the light snow flakes that danced across the night sky. She closed her eyes and let her mind drift while she still could.
She dreamt of being next to a fire warm under a large quilt. She had a cup of warm milk in one hand and a cookie in the other. The perfect dream. Where she felt at home. Where she wouldn't freeze to death or starve.
A hand on her shoulder woke her from the wonderful dream. Sleep blurred her eyes of the man that stood over her. He placed his jacket over her and smirked at her.
"What is a lovely lady like you doing on the street?" His voice came to her ears raspy and matured.
The young 15 year old quickly jumped to her feet.
"25 euros and I'm yours," she managed to say calmly.
"But you are so young," the stranger became shocked.
"I can act like a mature woman if that is what your desire is." Tai opened her jacket to reveal her rather large 'b' cup breasts and the laced corset that wrapped around her body. She puckered her bright red lips and leaned forward.
The man became silent before reaching into his pocket and handing the money to her. She tucked the money away into her cleavage and went to kiss the man. He held up his hand before motioning to a limousine next to the curb.
"Let's go somewhere more private," the man smiled.
Tai pulled her jacket back over her chest and stepped into the vehicle where the man proceeded in removing her jacket.
Tyler rested his head in his hands as he waited for a nurse to speak to him. He took in a deep breath and thought back to when him and Tai would stay up late under lantern light to continue their work on the archaeological finds.
"You," a voice broke Tyler's thoughts.
His head snapped up to see an angered teen before him. Tyler immediately stood up, recognizing the glare of the famous Kai Hiwatari.
"How'd you know-?" Tyler asked, rather confused.
"I followed you when I saw you carrying my sister out of the building bleeding," Kai replied. "Tell me what happened."
Tyler shrugged his shoulders. "I found her like that. She was perfectly fine when we spoke behind the BBA. I went to take my seat when I found her bleeding out in the halls."
Kai looked towards the doors where Tai most likely was under the knife. He unfolded his arms and took a seat next to where Tyler was sitting. Tyler followed him and stared at the door. They sat in silence for nearly an hour, before Kai broke the quiet.
"So, who are you?" Kai asked.
"My name is Tyler. I worked with Tai in South America. I was her partner when it came to the artifacts and translating the languages."
"I've heard of you," Kai said. "Mr. Dickenson spoke of you a few times."
"Ah, yes. Mr. Dickenson. He visited the site once, but I never actually spoke to him."
"Hiwatari?" A nurse called out.
Kai was on his feet faster than Tyler could react. Tyler followed after Kai as the nurse smiled to them.
"You must be Kai. Her twin," the nurse gestured to Kai.
Kai only nodded. Tyler spoke for him.
"How is she?"
"She is sleeping right now. She had many lacerations, but we fixed her up rather quickly. She will need to rest for several days, but she will be fine."
Tyler let out a deep breath of relief. Kai folded his arms and inhaled deeply. The nurse smiled again, even though it was fake, it made both teens feel better.
"Follow me and I will show you to her room."
The nurse led them through a set of swinging doors and down a well lit corridor. She made several turns leading them farther into the maze of the hospital, but finally came to a stop. The door to the room was a sliding glass door that remained open. A single curtain shielded the person from wandering patients. Tyler was the first to step into the room. Kai hesitated.
'Do I really need to see her like this?' His mind stopping him.
He heard Tyler take in a sharp breath as he walked around the curtain.
"My god, Tai," Tyler mumbled.
Kai swallowed back any of his doubts and stepped forward. Each step seemed to tighten his chest. He held his breath to stop the clenching, but it did no good. The veil hiding Tai from his was lifted. Time stopped around him as his eyes fell onto Tai.
Her hair sprawled around her face as if she were floating on water. She was as pale as snow and had a purple bruise under her eye. She looked peacefully in pain. Kai gasped at the sight. He could see the bandages under the hospital gown and flinched at the thought of what the damage really was.
"What happened to you, Tai?" Kai said out loud.
Tai shifted her skirt, straightening it out after it being lifted by the man she learned to be named Boris. He laid on the bed behind her, smoking a cigarette. She kept her gaze away from him, fully ashamed of what she had done.
She started to zip up her corset, more embarrassed when she had to turn around and expose her chest to the man again.
"Do you have a home, Tai?" Boris spoke to her.
Tai perked up and glanced at Boris, but quickly turned away.
"No," she said softly.
"What if I made a deal with you, Tai? I could give you a place to live. Food to eat. An education. Instead of you wasting your life away on the streets."
Tai's interest was peaked and she turned to Boris.
"Why would you do something for someone like me? I, a simple courtesan?" Tai questioned, suspicious of this man's tricks.
"I run a school for beybladers. And I feel like you could be amazing for the program we have."
Tai's interest was really peaked now.
"What's in it for you?" Tai asked.
"Don't worry about that. You will be safe. You will be warm. No more shivering on the street corner. I'll even help you get real clothing. You won't have to work on the corner anymore," Boris filled her mind with wonderful thoughts.
She took a good look at her ragged prostitute clothes and switched her glance back to Boris.
"I'll do it."
"Very good," Boris smirked under his smoke.
Kai and Tyler were sitting in the waiting room in silence, when Tyson, Max, and Kenny came from a set of doors.
"Kai? What are you doing here?" Tyson asked.
Kai folded his arms and closed his eyes. "Tai's here,"
"What? Your sister? What happened?" Kenny asked.
Tyler lifted his head to the group to explain. "I found her unconscious at the stadium."
"Ray's been sent here because of his injuries. He passed out after his battle with Bryan," Kenny said.
"You mean Ray Kon?" Tyler became excited.
"Who are you?" Max questioned.
"This is Tyler. One of Tai's friends from South America." Kai informed.
"Oh, cool! So are you like really smart?" Tyson asked.
"I am a college graduate. I'd hope that would be true," Tyler laughed.
"Just how old are you, Tyler?" Kenny asked.
"I'm twenty four."
Kai turned his head to Tyler and raised his brow, his brotherly instincts setting in.
"Kai Hiwatari?" A nurse broke up the group.
Kai jumped to his feet.
"Yes?" Kai caught her attention.
The nurse stepped up to him, holding several clipboards in her hands. She flipped opened the top one and gave him a false smile.
"She's doing much better now. Her vitals have all returned to normal and she is healing at an exponential rate. She should be better in no time."
Kai relaxed his shoulders. The nurse glimpsed at the boys that were crowding up the waiting room.
"Could I speak to you alone for a moment, Mr. Hiwatari?" The nurse asked.
Kai nodded and followed the nurse to a private consultation room. She motioned for him to sit, which he waved off, and sat down herself. She flipped open to the second page.
"We believe she may have been injured during sexual activities," the nurse jumped straight to the point.
Kai stepped back in disbelief.
"What do you mean?" Kai managed to say.
"We found several tears around her cervix. We are unsure if they are from rape."
Kai's jaw dropped as he stared at the nurse, wide eyed.
Kai followed the nurse, deep in thought, letting her take him back to Tai's room.
"I'll leave you alone now," the nurse says.
Kai waieds until the nurse left to approach Tai. He stood over her and glances over the bruises covering her arms and the purple spot forming on her right cheek. He places a hand on her head and her eyes flashed open.
"Tai!" Kai said rather shocked.
She looks around the room, unable to speak. She tried to sit up, but Kai held her down.
"Hold on, Tai. You're in a hospital. Tyler found you unconscious at the stadium and you were brought here."
Tai grabed her throat and coughed. "How long have I been out?" Her voice raspy.
"It's been a few days," he informed.
He sat next to her and placed a hand onto hers.
"Tell me what happened, Tai." Kai demanded.
Tai pushed Kai's hands away when she went to sit up again.
"Boris," she managed to say.
Kai growled and shook his head.
"I can't believe he got to you, again."
Kai became quite mentally punishing himself for not protecting her. Tai grabbed his face and stared into his eyes.
"I'm alright, now, Kai." Tai comforted.
The twins were silent, not looking at each other. Kai broke it when he took in a deep breath.
"When were you raped?" Kai said abruptly.
Tai's eyes filled with tears and fell from behind closed eyes. Her lips became a firm line and she shook her head. Kai sighed and patted her head.
"All that matters right now, is that you are safe. Get some sleep, Tai. You need it," Kai said.
Tai wiped her eyes with her free hand, noticing a bandage circling it. Ignoring it for now, she slipped back under the covers, tightened her eyes, and fell back into a deep slumber.
So... what do you think? Things starting to come clearer? I thought so. At least a little bit. The next chapter will really open up a whole new point of view. As I have said before, MATURE PARTS IN UPCOMING CHAPTERS.I will not tolerate any complaining aside from maybe grammar or spelling errors. Or maybe how a sentence sounds. But other wise nothing else. I have given you plenty of warning.
Now for a quick word from the preview department.
"You can't help him, Tai! He'll only hurt you," Kai said, holding onto Tai's arm.
"Tala needs me!" Tai cried back to him.
"Salemite! Void Graveyard!" Tai commanded.
"You couldn't control that attack when you faced Kai. What makes you think you'll be able to this time?" Tala laughed.
"I was rusty," Tai explained.
"What?" Tala became shocked.
The ground beneath the blades broke up as Salemite let off a burst of power.
That should hold you off for a few hours. :)
Signing off for a bit
