Kai hated the fact that Taka was so close to him. It brought back so many horrible memories. Taka cut Kai with such precise aim. Not stopping there, Taka cut Kai's left arm and right leg. Kai could feel his blood slip out of his body and started feeling dizzy because of it. As Kai's motionless form lay there, Boris' voice was heard over the intercom. "Taka, Ami and Harunna, come back to this room. We need to think of a new way."
With that the other three left the room where a motionless Kai hanged by his wrists. Across town, his friends looked on in fear and worried about Kai. Tala interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"Kai's fine. He's strong and can handle that. This punishment is a lot easier than what we got at the Abbey once in a while."
The worried teens calmed down a bit at those words and they also knew he was strong from their many experiences.
Kai was glaring at the door where the three had disappeared. He was trying to think of a way to get out of there and save his friends.
Meanwhile Tala was thinking the same thing. "There's got to be a way out."
The door to the room opened, and Kai saw Taka enter alone. He walked up to Kai, smiling. No one was around to ruin his fun. His face got closer to Kai's. Kai, barely awake, sees him but is unable to move. Taka traces his knife around Kai's chest with a sinister smile.
"You know Kai you were my favorite. Then again, you were everyone's favorite." Taka stops tracing Kai's chest and begins kissing it. Taka wrapped his arms around Kai's waist and saw that Kai was now fully awake. Kai made a small murmur and Taka got close to his face as he saw Kai try to talk. "You bastard," Kai said in his weak, honest voice.
Taka just smirked. "You never lose your spirit now do you Kai?"
Kai placed more strength in his voice and said, "Fuck off."
Taka just smiled and sarcastically said. "Oooh little Kai still does have his fighting spirit." Taka got even closer to Kai's face and began caressing Kai's cheek with one hand. "You were labeled as soon as you got these. I must say Kai, even I was shocked when I first saw them, but your grandfather was inspired to make them permanent."
Kai gave him a huge death glare. "Don't call that bastard my grandfather."
"So you still hate you grandfather. Hmm, how about your parents? They did leave you as soon as you were born." Taka smiled as he sarcastically said that.
"What are you talking about?" Kai asked with anger and curiosity.
"Hmm, I see you don't remember. Kai, you were never really loved by your parents. When you were born, you were left alone in your room while your parents worked all day and night in their basement laboratory. They were as scientists for Voltaire."
Those last words hit Kai hard. His parents had worked for Voltaire and left him alone. 'That can't be right. I know I don't remember much of my past but that can't be right.' Kai thought.
Taka saw Kai's face and started to laugh. "Kai, you are just so strange. You can be stabbed, kicked, punched, or whipped and you won't cry, but finding out something bad about your parents and you look so shocked. Kai, you really are unique." Taka leaves Kai with his thoughts. Walking down the hall, he realizes that he wants to have more fun. Pulling a chain out of his pocket, he studies it and smiles.
Tyson was getting irritated and so that made everyone else irritated. "I can't take this!" yelled Tyson. "Why did they capture us if they were just going to leave us in a room? Sure we got to see Kai on the screen but the screen disappeared when those people left Kai."
Tala got irritated with Tyson's questions but thought that he had a right to know. "Tyson, they left us because we're just here to make sure Kai can't resist. So long as we're here, they have Kai at their mercy."
Taka goes back into the room where Kai is and pulls out a syringe with a red liquid in it before moving towards Kai. Kai saw the syringe and tried to move away from it. His struggles were useless as the needle pierced his neck and the red liquid went in.
Kai's head felt dizzy and his body numbed. With a very hoarse voice, he asked, "What did you put in me?"
Taka smiled and decided to explain as he undid Kai's shackles. "It's the drug they used on you when you were little. You were such a problem."
As the last shackle was undone, Kai's body fell limp to the floor. Taka picked Kai up by his hair and turned Kai's face toward his. "Let's go have some fun with your friends." Taka grinned sinisterly.
About twenty minutes later, they arrived at a huge business building. Kai was blindfolded and couldn't see where he was. Taka dragged him out of the car and into the building. In the same room they've been in since they were taken, Tyson was finally on everyone's last nerves. "That's it. I can't take it!"
"Tyson, please give it a rest. I'm trying to get a blueprint of the building we're in," explained Chief.
"Oh and how are you doing that Chief?" asked Max.
"Well you see if this is Boris' or Voltaire's plans then we must be in one of their buildings. I started to count how many buildings Boris owns and he owns one in Japan and three in China, five in America, two in Europe, and twelve in Russia." Kenny explains while typing.
"He owns twenty-three buildings!" yelled Tyson, shocked.
"Yes Tyson and one of the twelve used to be the Abbey. If you think that's shocking, check out how many Voltaire owns." Kenny said flabbergasted.
"So how many Chief?" asked Hillary.
"In Japan, Voltaire own six buildings, China four, America twelve, three in Europe, and in Russia twenty-six buildings. Voltaire owns half of Russia really," explained Kenny.
"Wow so if we go to Russia, we're really not safe?" asked Daichi.
Just then the door opened and Taka strutted in. "Yup, Voltaire owns half of Russia and a bit of Japan because of his family."
"Taka," Tala uttered with hatred.
"To think that Kai is going to be the one to inherit half of Voltaire's fortune… well of course he'll have to obey Voltaire first." Taka sneered.
