Chapter Seven – Uh What Happened Exactly?

Kai had to find out why he had thought he was a girl.  He couldn't understand it.  Surely Sarah James didn't exist.  He had to know.  Had to know if at some point they had switched bodies or if Kai had been had been merely brainwashed.  The memory of his grandfather's visit made him think about what he had said.

"The body your soul now inhabits is my grandson Kai's."

Had it really happened? Or was Voltaire meagrely confusing Kai more into thinking he was Sarah?  If it had, how was Kai able to retain the memories that Sarah had experienced?

He walked through the mansion and ended up near one of the many telephones.  He grabbed the large phone book and turned to the 'J' section.  There were so many James's that he had no idea if he would be able to find out which one was Sarah's number… if Sarah had a number.

Suddenly it struck him, he had no recollection of being in 'Sarah's' body.  Did that mean it never happened?  It was impossible… wasn't it?

He put down the phone book with a sigh.  He was so mad!  This was Voltaire's fault!  Either way it had happened, Kai was still part of his 'experiment'.

At such a time, Kai started thinking about kissing Tyson… was that induced by Sarah or was that Kai truly being free to act on his feelings?  And Tyson had kissed him in return… so that might Tyson had feelings for him.

Kai thought about how it had started… with the dream of Sarah.  No… it started before that even still.  The dizzy spells that both he and Sarah endured.  Were they part of it?  Voltaire had gotten into Kai's room so easily the day before that maybe he had being doing so for quite some time, feeding Kai information bit by bit until such a time where he could get Kai to have an 'accident' and make Sarah take over.

Kai didn't get a whole lot more time to think about it as suddenly someone grabbed him from behind, clamping their hand over Kai's mouth so he couldn't yell out for help.

***

Tyson felt as though Kai had slapped him across the face.  He had denied any part of the emotions they shared… even after just kissing him.  Tyson was sure Kai's feelings towards him were there.  But… Kai had fallen.  Maybe that had caused him to regain his memory and in turn remember how much he actually disliked him.

Ray and Max looked at Tyson with expressions of mixed sadness and pity.  Max walked over to Tyson and put an arm around the small boy, for once not saying a word.

"Is there something you're not telling us Tyson?" Ray asked suddenly.

Tyson paused and looked at Max who nodded, "Yeah… we should tell you."

Ray raised an eyebrow and the three of them sat on the edge of Kai's bed.  Tyson took deep breaths to calm himself and continued.

"When Kai woke up from his fall at the hospital… he claimed that he was a girl named Sarah James.  Of course we didn't believe him, but the way he acted proved that something was off.  Anyway Max and I put it down to trauma and memory loss.  He couldn't remember who any of us were, not even his own name." Tyson paused to see how Ray was handling the information.

"Go on…"

"We made him promise to behave and then we wouldn't get a shrink in.  Man, I thought for sure he was just joking with us…  Obviously when he fell just now, it returned his memory… and made him realise that he doesn't-" Tyson broke off not being able to speak the phrase.

"-that he didn't love you…" Ray finished.

Tyson looked as though he was going to cry and jumped up off the bed and ran out to his room.  He then noticed something shiny near his down.  He bent down and realised it was Kai's Beyblade.  He picked up the blue blade and put it in his pocket beside Dragoon.

Seeing the blade made Tyson wonder where Kai had gone after leaving the room.  He sighed and walked down the stairs towards the kitchen when he passed one of Mr Dickinson's telephones.  One of the phone books was open and Tyson bent down to have a look.

"James…" Tyson read aloud.

Tyson looked at the book with surprise.  Obviously Kai had been here… so where was he now?  It took Tyson two seconds to notice the scuffmarks on the floor as though someone had been kicking to get away from something… or someone.  Then Tyson noticed the small droplets of blood on the floor.  Someone had taken Kai!

"RAY! MAX!" Tyson yelled and the two boys came hurriedly down the stairs followed by Kenny who had finally come out of his room and noticed the commotion.

"Hey guys, where's Kai?" Kenny asked.

Tyson made a sharp noise and grabbed Kenny by the shirt, "CHIEF! Kai's been kidnapped!!"

Ray and Max gasped.

"What?!"

Tyson pointed to the blood and marks on the floor.  The Bladebreaker team widened their eyes and the colour drained from Kenny's face.  Then he fainted.

"Ah… chief…" Tyson groaned, remembering Kenny couldn't stand the sight of blood.

"Never mind now Tyson, leave him there.  We gotta go find Kai!" Ray exclaimed.
