Hullo, this is a bit shorter than the chapters before, and I think it kinda sounds rushed cuz I had to do this really fast. But when I have the time I will edit it.

This chapter is short but very interesting, well actually a very cliffhanger ending that will keep you in suspense for . . . a week. ^_~ muahahaha *evil grin*

Well, as always enjoy and don't forget to REVIEW!!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade (sorry can't think of anything clever to say *clever? Yeah right.* since I'm kinda rushed.

CHAPTER 7: THE LITTLE GIRL FROM THE PAST

Kai went back among the ivy, and with some small difficulty, climbed down. He ran silently along the outer walls until he was at a range when he could hear the team clearly without being seen. Kai poked his head slowly out of the wall to get a look at them.

"We have to tell Kai about Haley!" said Tyson running his fingers through his mass of spiky bangs.

Kai tensed when he heard his best friend's name, it worries him that Tyson sounded so upset about it. Not that he was worried about Tyson's feelings, but because Haley seemed to be in some sort of trouble. He looked over at Max to see if he's still got a smile on his face. Max didn't.

"What do we say to him?" said Dizzi, "'Oh, hello Kai! By the way we found out that Boris is going to kill your girlfriend as a part of a mad experiment.'" Everyone shifted uncomfortably.

Kai felt his face flush as his temper rose dramatically. The first thought that came into his head was to find something sharp and stab Boris when he gets the chance. But he realized that the rushed plan wouldn't work considering he couldn't harm Boris without being in immediate danger himself. He tuned back into the conversation.

"He's gotta know, she's in too much danger and the only person who could get in without being thrown out is Kai." Said Rei. His golden eyes suddenly moved to where Kai was hidden. He narrowed his eyes as he felt something move in the shadows.

Kai held his breath as he leaned flat against the wall, he didn't want Rei to sniff him out, it would only lead to trouble at a time like this. It could also lead to possible mushy I-missed-you-Kai stuff, which he hated no matter what. Slowly he turned and looked at them again, relieved when he saw that Rei was no longer looking.

"We might as well go back to the hotel, it's getting late." Said Kenny looking defeated. They all muttered their agreements and walked off, with the snow crunching beneath their feet.

Meanwhile, Kai turned the opposite direction and ran lightly on top of the snow to head inside the abbey. Adrenaline was pumping through his veins at full force, and in his blind madness he had concocted a plan to save his little friend.

***

Boris paced back and forth impatiently, his thick brows furrowed as he concentrated on finding what the problem was and why the extraction procedure hasn't started yet. He only had two goals in his mind right now: to get Draco cloned as soon as possible and have the damn girl dead. She had been an annoying little prick in the side ever since he laid eyes on her. He had always believed that the abbey was no place for a girl, and when she was just starting out he'd bet that she wasn't going to survive. But she proved him wrong, and he didn't like being wrong.

"What's going on?!" he barked as he turned to the scientists around him in the long lab coats.

"Sorry, sir, but there seemed to have been a power surge and -" the man looked past Boris's face in absolute shock. Boris turned and looked upon the pale body of Haley, stunned.

The girl was glowing with a lively blue aura, but she was still limp as a piece of cloth. The other scientists rushed over to her side and held up energy monitors measuring the intensity of the glow. After a minute, one of them turned and reported her findings.

"Sir, it appears that she is the one causing the power surge."

"WHAT?!?! How can that be? She's an inch away from death!" shouted Boris, he's had it up to his neck with this foolishness.

"Sir, I'm afraid that it is Draco who is doing this." Said the woman as she twitched and stepped back holding her clipboard protectively against her chest. "It seems that he's resisting capture by destroying the equipment."

"Well, then stop him! I want this done today, and I won't rest until this is done do you hear me?" said Boris as he swept out of the room, having been fed up with those people. "And neither will you, so get working!" They immediately got back to fixing the machines.

***

Kai was determined to find Haley and save her. He ran blindly through the corridors, turning once in a while, depending on if he could sense the girl. He realized long ago, even when they were just children, that he could feel Haley. Just like how he had felt her pain a while ago.

Kai skidded around a corner, and stopped, hearing something coming his way. He quickly retreated back around the bend and waited silently for the thing to walk into the dim lighting. To his utter amazement it was not anyone that he had expected to appear.

It was a little girl.

***

"She's becoming unstable." Said one doctor to the other as they tried to calm down the sudden raving lunatic. They were sure that she wasn't supposed to wake up at this moment, in fact the original plan that she never woke up at all. Two large guards rushed over to the Haley who was struggling wildly against the restraints. She looked to be having a seizure of some sort and muttered inaudible words. The guards tried to push her back down onto the cushions but to no avail.

***

The little girl giggled, just like the sort of thing you would expect from such a girl about five or six years old. She looked up at Kai with wide eyes that appeared innocent enough at first glance but really was full of mischief. She smiled sweetly at him and it suddenly struck him that she looked vaguely familiar. His eyes widened.

She giggled again, her laugh echoing off the walls making a sound that was like a chorus of laughter. She held out one little hand in front of her while the other was still kept behind her back and beckoned him to follow her. Kai nodded numbly and she swiftly turned and skipped away. Kai ran after her after a little hesitation.

***

Haley suddenly stilled, making the two guards falter as she stopped resisting and simply fell back down. She appeared to be in the expected state again but still with an unexpected dim glow. The guards cursed under their breath as they straightened up, fixing Haley with a murderous glare.

The machines that were going just as haywire as the girl returned back to normal too. All the specialists in the room breathed a sigh of relief, hoping this wouldn't happen again. This wasn't going to be as quick as they thought.

***

Kai kept following the girl, he was nearly out of breath. He couldn't quite figure out how such a small girl with proportional legs could possibly travel so fast, not to mention while skipping cheerfully through the deserted corridors. He then turned his thoughts to himself and wondered why in the world he would be following such a strange girl, especially one that he's never seen before and probably just wondered in here by mistake, playing a silly game. But nevertheless he still followed her, an unexplainable feeling that told him she was leading him to where Haley was held.

Kai stopped for a short rest, they'd been on the run for a while now and he wanted to save his energy for when it really is needed. When he stopped the girl stopped too, looking back at him with searching eyes that seems to penetrate his soul. He looked at her but his eyes couldn't lock on for long, instead he concentrated on his breathing.

He was slightly startled when he felt something soft brush against his bare arm and he looked up, shocked to see the girl so close up. Kai stared right into her clear, almost transparent, green eyes unblinking, transfixed with such a familiar gaze that almost instantly he knew who this little girl was. His breath was caught as he uttered the only thing he dared to say at this moment.

"Haley."

***

In the lab, Haley's vital signs were beginning to unstable once more. Her heart rate picked up violently as well as her brain activity. Her breathing became faster and perspiration formed on her forehead. The nurses rushed over along with the guards that was getting tired of constantly running back and forth for a girl who was unconscious yet would not stay still.

However, before anyone could reach her side, all her activity suddenly quieted. In fact, there was absolutely nothing there at all. Everyone's eyes swept to the heart monitor at once and with a great silence saw that there was nothing but a thin unquivering line.

Unfortunately for them, if the host was dead, Draco might as well be too.
