Chapter 9: Searching, Chip and Information

-At the dojo-

"Come on Tyson. Slow down or you will choke", Kenny tried to stop Tyson from eaten too much food.

"Lighting up Chief. This is a party or something like that", Tyson placed more cake into his mouth.

"Is this always like this?" Miho asked.

"Well, almost. Do you know where Kai and Ray went?" Max asked.

"Ray asked Kai to follow him and they left. They need a little talk", Miho smiled. Max nodded understanding. He turned his gaze to Tyson's grandfather who was dancing. He was actually jumping like a chicken.

"Shouldn't they be back already?" Tyson heard Miho's and Max's conversation.

"You are right. It can't take that long to just talk one thing and knowing Ray he did it fast", Kenny added.

"Let's go and look for them. They can't be that far", Tyson ran to the door. Everyone nodded and followed him fast.

-After an hour-

"Have you found them?" Tyson asked when they met up at the park.

"Nothing", Miho replied.

"Nothing here either", Max continued.

"What now Kenny? It's going to be late soon?" Tyson asked.

"I don't. Only two things come up in my mind. One: Go to see Dickenson and ask him that has he seen them or two: they left home", Kenny thought.

"Then let's go and see him", Tyson was already walking.

-At the BBA building-

"I'm sorry to disturb you sir but Tyson Granger, Max Tate and Miho Sugimoto are here to see you", secretary said.

"Okay", Dickenson said. Then Tyson and others walked in.

"How I can help you boys?" Dickenson asked.

"Well, we were thinking that have Kai and Ray come here to see you or something. We can't find them anywhere", Tyson explained.

"No, they haven't. When was the last time you saw them?" Dickenson asked back.

"At my house when we organized a party for Kai. Miho saw them leave together", Tyson said. Dickenson began to think deeply.

"You haven't noticed anything weird at all, have you?" he finally asked.

"No. Everything was fine", Kenny replied.

Dickenson sighed: "Then only thing what we can do now is wait. Let's not make our own conclusions right away".

"Maybe you are right. It's just something seems off", Tyson said.

"Off?" Dickenson repeated.

"You know. We were told that file about Kai at Slave market was missing and still haven't been found", Kenny reminded.

"That is strange. Let's keep our ears and eyes open", Dickenson suggested.

"Better than nothing, I guess", Tyson sighed. Miho placed hand on his shoulder and smiled. Tyson smiled back but it didn't staid along.

-At unknown place with Ray-

It had taken at least two hours until car stopped. Ray felt his body being lifted and carried outside. After ten minutes he was thrown to floor and closed the door. Ray struggled to sit up but managed to do it. He began twist his hands and legs trying to get bonds loose without avail. They were tight.

'Where am I? And where's Kai', Ray thought when he heard door open again.

"What we should do with him?" Ray heard someone ask. What did it mean? Then it hit him. If they didn't know what do then Kai was their target, but why?

"Keep him here. I'm going to think of something. Where is the other one?" man voice asked.

"He's at other cell", was an answer.

'That other one must be Kai', Ray began to panic.

"Mmmh!" Ray shouted. He had to help Kai somehow. He had suffered enough.

"It looks like he has something to say sir", man asked.

"I can see that idiot. Move the gag but don't take blindfold off", other man ordered.

Ray felt the cloth leave his mouth: "What do you want with Kai?"

"You are clever one. I'm just going to use him. Isn't that what everyone does with him", sir replied.

"It seems that way but I won't let that happen again", Ray stated with calm voice.

"How are you going to stop me?" sir asked.

"It's not how I'm going to do it but I'm going to do it even if it kills me", Ray almost yelled but held his voice back.

"I'm going to tell Kai your thoughts", sir said before walking off.

"Leave Kai alone! He has suffered enough!" Ray yelled but instead of answer he heard door close and being locked. Ray twisted around. He HAD to do something somehow.

-With Kai-

"Hmph!" Kai grunted as he twisted around. He had enough being tied down. Kai struggles so much that he didn't hear door opening.

"Stop struggling boy", man voiced ordered as Kai felt hands grabbing him again. They lifted Kai up and began to carry him out. While they walked to some room Kai still struggle against the hold.

"Place him there". Kai didn't have time to react when bonds were cut off from his hand and pushed on the metal table and strapped down again. Kai moved his hand fighting against the chains.

"Didn't you hear me? Stop moving", voice ordered again but this time with louder voice.

"Sir? We are ready", someone said.

"Do it", apparently sir replied back. Then Kai felt someone grab his head and push it aside. The sudden move scared him that Kai began to struggle again trying to free his head. Someone placed a finger behind Kai's right ear and pressed. That's when Kai felt sudden pain shot through his body. He gritted his teeth. kai felt the hands let go his head but that didn't matter anymore. Kai trashed around fighting the cold feeling.

"Don't fight it. It's going to be easier", man said. Kai didn't listen. He felt horrible. It felt like his brains were shutting down. Kai bit the cloth in his mouth and thrashed harder and twisted his hands and legs. Kai saw his own memories flashing in front of him. First day he met Tyson and others, tournaments, Voltaire, uncle and everything.

'Please, stop it, someone', Kai begged in his mind. It was like watching a movie of his own life. After that everything went dark.

-With Sir-

"How's the process?" sir asked. One of the scientists turned to the computer.

"The chip is working. After it's shutting his brain down it's deleting his memories. When that's done we activate the program that makes him forget everything else but you. It means that he will follow your every order", scientist explained.

"Good. How long it will take", sir asked.

"Only couple seconds because every memory has been deleted. It might seem very short time but chip is really effective and we are done".

Scientist unlocked the chains and took the gag of as well the blindfold. Sir watched sleeping Kai. His face was really pretty.

"It might take time when he can fulfill every order. First I suggest smaller ones".

"Right, I keep that in mind", sir nodded. Then he saw Kai opening his eyes and sitting up.

"How are you feeling?" he asked coming closer. Kai turned his head to him and then sir saw the result. Kai's brown eyes were dark red and blank.

"What do I have to, sir?" Kai asked. It made sir smile.

"Nothing really special. But right now follow me", sir told him. Kai stood up and began to walk right next to him.

-With Ray-

It was really quiet. Ray hasn't moved awhile. He was still twisting his hands slowly when he heard door open.

"I'm going to take blindfold off now", man said. Ray didn't say anything when he tried to get used to light. That's when his eyes widened at horror.

"Kai? KAI! What's wrong?" Ray shouted: What have you done to him?"

"Nothing special. I think you call it brainwashing", sir said.

"Break it!" Ray shouted.

"Heh, I'm not going to do that. Why don't you make yourself comfortable and relax. I take care of Kai. He's not going anywhere now", sir turned to walk away Kai following him but man stopped.

"My name is Reiji. And I believe you are Ray Kon", man smirked and continued walking with Kai.

Ray couldn't move: 'Kai. What did they do to you?'

Ray began to twist around again, harder than before. He had to break the brainwash somehow. But no matter how hard Ray tried to get bonds loose, they didn't budge.

-With Tyson and others-

"Have you heard anything from them?" Mho asked.

"Nothing. I don't know. If you could somehow figure out who took the file we should be able to find them", Tyson complained.

"You think that has something to do with their disappearance", Kenny wondered.

"Definitely. It has to. It's only logical explanation", Tyson said with sure voice.

"Would your father have something information about it, Miho", Max asked.

"Maybe. Let's go find out", Miho left towards the door followed by others.

'Don't worry Ray and Kai. We will find you', Tyson thought as they made their way to Miho's home.

This was a little short what I was up to but enjoy. Remember to follow and review.
