Chapter 21

Spencer watched the retreated back of Kai, and wondered what really was wrong with him. He usually did zone out when something boring was happening, but it had been happening for a while now, and it definitely was effecting him.

"What the hell's wrong with him…?" Bryan grumbled, he gave a sudden glare to Ian who was threatening to start some sort of food fight. Though lowered the piece of fruit quickly when he noticed that Bryan had caught him almost in the act.

"I have no idea…" Tala's headache just seemed to get worse, and now he was sure that something bad was going to end up happening, so what was he meant to do? Tala quickly devoured his breakfast, and since it was still another hour until beyblade training he decided to go find the lone wolf.

Bryan frowned when Tala got up, he knew that it would mean Tala would go off – look for Kai end up not finding him, and be late. Late meant punishment which would make the redhead whine at lunch. Even though Tala was his friend he just didn't like the high-pitches that Tala could still somehow reach.

"But I'm going to find out." Tala rarely glared, and the rest of 'Group 3' stayed still and decided to let their group leader go on his own, or as they had been labelled by the others in the abbey. 'Group Geek.' Not like that was ever told to them, face-to-face, since Bryan and Spencer had the tendency to get into a few fights with other groups and - win.

The redhead wasn't too sure on why Ian had decided to follow him – he wasn't doing a good job. At all. His footsteps were somehow louder than Tala's own, the smaller blader also had a cold and was constantly sniffing down the hall. Tala couldn't help but chuckle and turn around to see Ian jump behind something that couldn't even hide an ant.

He decided to continue walking for a while, until he got bored of walking himself, and called behind. "Ian. Move it if you're coming." Ian grumbled something that Tala didn't pick up and quickly caught up. After a moment of just walking down the corridors Ian decided to ask something.

"How did you know I was there?" Tala couldn't bring himself to tell the younger that he practically sucked, in fact he did suck at tracking or at least staying quiet. Tala sighed and decided just to answer with a lie that would help Ian keep some of his pride.

"It was just a guess…" Tala shook his head as he heard an 'oh' coming from the midget of a friend. Usually he would be called Midge since he would usually call Tala a girl. The group all had strange names for each other that no one else would dare call them.

"There's Kai!" Ian pointed ahead, and indeed it was the dual-toned blader, he seemed to be waiting for something or someone. Tala frowned as he noticed someone coming out of the door he was standing next to. It wasn't someone that he would forget easily. It was Daniil.

The brown blader didn't even look at the younger but headed off to the roof, since most of them were allowed out to roam the Abbey though they were restricted to three places. It just depended on if you were good or not, or if you obeyed orders or not.

"Why is he going with Daniil…?" Tala's reaction told Ian that this Daniil was not good news. Since Ian had come in when the other boys had all left he had no idea that Daniil was the most sadist of the old group that had occupied, Group 3's room.

Kai wasn't too nervous though he did feel like something was going to go very wrong. He had never liked Daniil, ever, and he was sure the feeling was mutual between the two. With Kai only being eight he was in no way going to be able to defend against a fifteen year old. Now that Kai thought about this, as he climbed the stairs to the roof, he was beginning to think that maybe it wasn't the best idea to come to such a secluded place.

"Why are we here?" Kai glared, only because he held this place close to him, it contained something that made him happy. Even if it was going to die soon it was fun to talk to – since it would never speak back.

"I have something of yours…" Daniil turned around, standing at the top of the stairs waiting for the annoying kid to catch up. A small smirk appeared on his face which made Kai think about just turning and running, but his body didn't listen as he wanted to find out what Daniil had of his. If it was his then he would get it back.

They both walked to the roof, a huge gust of wind came and caused them both to shiver, Kai hugged himself as he hoped he wouldn't be shut out here or something. Daniil walked over to the place Kai dreaded that he would go. Had he found it? He had hadn't he…

The small boy began to panic, what was he meant to do! He couldn't talk Daniil out of anything they would just end up mocking each other. He stood no chance in physically getting it back… Kai walked over knowing that the boy was about to hold up a box from one of the boiler rooms. With Kai's little treasure inside.

"So what are you going to give me for this?" He shook the box, knowing that it would upset and alarm the smaller kid. He smiled when he say Kai's eyes widened as he heard a small 'chip-chip' coming from inside the thin box.

"Please give her back…" Unlike Daniil, Kai didn't have his overcoat on, since it was his day off for training, maybe he could tell him that he could talk to Grandfather and then have him get a few days off?

"How come a weakling like you! Got to use Black Dranzer first!" Daniil kicked Kai in the stomach sending the smaller boy to the cold concrete. Kai didn't want to have to even argue to get 'Dranzer' back.

"Please give her back!" Kai stood up quickly ignoring the slight graze that was now on his arm. He heard someone try to open the door from behind him, though he knew that Daniil probably had it locked or blocked with something else.

"Maybe I should just through this, off the roof!" Daniil was a little shocked when Kai ran and started to hit him, though it wasn't exactly painful just irritating. Again Kai was shoved to the freezing ground.

"Give her back! She's not well!" Kai pleaded, he never would have sounded so desperate if he didn't know the dangerous mind that was Daniil's. Kai stood up, but this time he simply walked forward and his young mind started trying to think on what this other boy wanted.

"You can have Black Dranzer, please just give me her back!" Kai reached his hands out just in case Daniil was feeling some sort of pity towards him, though it wasn't going to happen now, not now… Not when Daniil looked as if another cruel plan had formed into his mind.

Tala had tried to opened the door, but there was something heavy from the other side that was blocking the way it. Tala frowned and started to shoulder barge it, before longer both he and Ian were tired beyond belief. "Ian, go get everyone. Now!" Not even if a word of acknowledgement Ian bolted down the stairs to the mess hall where he just hoped that the rest of the team would be.

He heard something – a half whine and yell and it had come from Kai… Oh god… Tala tried again to shoulder bass the door open but it only moved a little, not even enough space to let Ian through.

Another yell… Tala closed his eyes, why the hell had Kai gone up there! With him of all people! He had noticed the hateful looks that were given to the red-eyed boy, but he just seemed unfazed by them and walked on.

The team captain heard noises of people running, hopefully it was the rest of his friends, just to help him move this stupid door. Just so he could see what was making Kai whine in pain and hurt.

"Stupid kid. It was bird." Daniil rolled his eyes as he looked upon the scene that he had created. Kai had his legs up to his chest and he had the small bird that he had named 'Dranzer' in his hands, trying to wake the small bird up. He could remember when he had found it, it was panicking. Kai had tried to feed it and give it water but all it had done was screech in his face. That's when he thought that maybe the bird was too cold and decided to use one of the boiler rooms.

He had noticed that it didn't fly away – maybe one of it's wings were broken or the thought that Kai would liked to have been true was because it just didn't want to leave him.

Though now, he just felt… Numb again. This little bird would have still been alive if he hadn't placed it in a stupid place. Daniil would rot in hell for what he had done. The brown haired teen had simply thrown the box down with such force, the small bird inside must have hurt something.

Each little noise of pain it made – an unbearable one would dig deeper into Kai's chest. Would the little bird be okay? Would it be dying in pain right now? Of course Kai had tried many times to try to get it out of harms way but had been repeatedly thrown down by the much older boy.

"Why…Why! She didn't do anything to you!" Kai whimpered, as tears began to stream from his cheeks and fall randomly on the bird, his hands, and his trousers. His small body began to shake again, the cold finally seeping through his clothes – his angry left and all he felt was sadness. Daniil just shrugged and decided to leave. This was boring.

Tala heard whatever was in front of the door move, and then Daniil came out – Tala glared at the taller boy all he did was smile back. Not good. Tala made sure he was out of sight before he tried to door again. He would probably try to lock him out if he was anywhere near the door when Tala went in.

Although something was strange, Tala still couldn't open the door. It was still stuck. Then how did Daniil get out? What did he do to this door! Maybe it was a door where it could only be opened from on side. So he would have to wait till Kai came out. Then again how the hell did Daniil and Kai get into the room in the first place?

Tala started shouting hoping that Kai would hear him and answer, "KAI!" The boy was beginning to worry, what had happened, why had Daniil come out looking as if he was the happiest person on the planet?

"Dranzer…" Kai whimpered, and held the small little bird close. He had names it Dranzer because he had liked Black Dranzer. Though he knew that this little bird didn't look as terrifying and just decided to stick with Dranzer as its name. It had seemed happy about the name too…

"KAI!" Kai could hear the voice of Tala but he didn't dare go near it, he would only make him feel worse, make him feel guilty… He was too happy and it would not have a great affect on Kai, he'd probably make him feel even more alone.

"I'm so sorry…" As soon as Kai had said that he was given an audio flashback to what his grandfather had said to him, saying sorry doesn't work… No one believes anyone when they say that… Kai's eyes widened, how was he meant to tell Dranzer that he was sorry when his words wouldn't be taken seriously?

"I didn't want Daniil to get you…" More and more tears streamed down his face, he was beginning to feel cold and began to rock back and forth, still holding the dead bird. Sobbing loudly, Kai tried to get the bird to wake up by petting it with a timid finger but it made no movement. It just lay there.

Then he heard a loud noise, one that only a very large bird would make. Kai looked around and then back at the small bird that he held in a careful grip. Before Kai had time to think what was happening the bird just… Vanished.

Kai blinked, he now was not holding the bird but something else… Something small. He looked down and saw that it was a chip for a beyblade. He squinted his eyes at it, and looked closely. "Dranzer?" The door was forced open with a huge amount of force, and the rest of Group 3 came in.

Before anyone had made there way over to Kai, he decided to pocket the bitbeast just in case one of them tried to steal her. He was still feeling slightly unhappy at the fact he could not protect the young bird.

"Kai!" Tala ran over and immediately hugged him, meanwhile the others walked over and made sure that the boy was physically and emotionally fine. Bryan sat down next him, while Ian tried to pat the boys back but was scolded by Spencer because he was simply punching him.

"I'm okay…Really…" Kai looked down at himself, he hadn't noticed it but his arms were turning as white as the Russian snow – how long had he been out here for anyway?

"Let's get inside. You look freezing." Bryan pulled the boy up gently, Tala reluctantly let go and gave Kai a concerned look. Bryan helped him to the stairs, where Spencer took on the responsibility of trying to get Kai down them without falling. Tala looked back and saw an old box, with nothing inside it - he tilted his head to one side. What had been in it?
