First of all thanks SO much for all the reviews and for all your interest! I'm very very pleased! ^^ So, Kai's father is Susumu Hiwatari and I've chosen to call his mother Esme Hiwatari.

Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BEYBLADE OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. THIS IS JUST A FAN-MADE STORY!

Kai gazed into the kind, tearful eyes of his father, choked with emotion and baffled with shock. This couldn't be real, it was too good to be true...His parents were dead, Evil Kai had said so, unless...unless he had been lying!

"D-dad? I-is it r-really you?" Kai asked.

"Yes Kai, it's me," his father replied.

"Dad...Dad!" Kai flung himself onto his father, hugging him fiercely. Susumu embraced him and held him close, stroking Kai's soft blue hair gently. Both of them were desperate to be as close to eachother as possible, and both were crying.

"I missed you so much! I thought...I thought you were dead! And mum, what about mum? Where is she? Is she alright?" Kai immediately asked.

"Yes, Esme's fine, don't worry. I'll tell you everything," said Susumu.

When they had calmed down and were seated on the wooden bench, Susumu began telling Kai the whole story:

"You probably wondered why your mother and I never came to rescue you when Boris first kidnapped you. You see, Boris was after our industry, 'Hiwatari Industries', and he wanted it badly. When I refused to let him have it, he said he would get his revenge, but he didn't say how. I was worried, wondering day and night what he could possibly do. I didn't want to worry Esme so I told her nothing. One day you disappeared and it was then that I told Esme about what he had said. We looked everywhere for him but we couldn't find him anywhere. It seemed that we had lost you for good. But then, one day he phoned us, and I begged him to give you back, said I'll give him the entire industry if it meant letting you go. But instead he threatened us, told us that if we ever said a word to anyone about your disappearance, he would kill you, and I knew he would do it. So we had no choice but to give up the search. Years later, we found out that he was in Russia. We went there, but as soon as he found out, he went back to Japan. Only we found out that he hadn't taken you with him, now we had no idea where you could be."

"It was the time that I had destroyed the abbey with Black Dranzer. He tortured me and threw me out, I also had nowhere to go," said Kai.

"How had you survived and came back to Japan?" asked Susumu.

"I bladed on the streets and earned money from my victories. After five months, I had enough to fly back to Japan. It was hard, but I've never been one to back down," Kai explained.

"Do you know where we are, where this place is?" Susumu asked.

"No," Kai answered.

"It's the old building place of our industries. He knew no one would find you here, but I knew where he was. I had never given up looking for you Kai. You're our only son and we love you more than you could ever imagine. We always have," said Susumu, placing his arm around Kai's shoulders and hugging him close.

"I love you too dad, you and mum, I love you both. I was so scared, they told me you had died," said Kai.

"Those bastards, they lied to make you give up hope. As if I'll die before I can save you. As soon as we made sure they were residing here, Esme and I began plotting how to catch them. I told her I would sneak in in disguise and try to find you. Esme wanted to come, but since there are no women here she could easily be found out. So instead she stayed at home and is working with the police to arrest them," Susumu explained.

"We will get out of here, but Evil Kai is dangerous, he'll stop at nothing to help Boris achieve his plans," said Kai.

"Yeah, we'll have to see about him. In the meantime, I think I had better go. If they find me here we'll be in big trouble. But listen, I'll be wearing this ring so you'll know it's me," said Susumu, showing Kai a silver ring encrusted with a blue sapphire.

"Yeah, okay. Thanks dad, I love you," said Kai.

They embraced for one last time before Susumu left.

And now, Kai felt that he finally had hope.
