Sorry about Kai acting a bit out of character last chapter but there wasn't really much that I could do, he'll also act a little different it the next few chapters as well. A really big thank you to everyone that's ever reviewed my story, I love you all so much. Well enough talk from me lets just get on with the story.

Chapter 27: Unlocking the Past

The long black limo pulled up in front of the hotel the Bladebreakers were staying at, getting out the teens made their way up to the room, upon reaching their hotel Kai went into the room he shared with Ray to get changed. Stepping back out a few minutes later he was back to wearing his black tank top, dark blue cargo pants, red arm guards and white scarf. The teens all sat around the large table that was placed in the room,

"Alright Kai…Tala you two have a lot of explaining to do?" asked Robert looking from one teen to the other,

"Mm hmm." The two nodded before thinking of where to start, Kai began first,

"Well myself and Tala were both born on the 12th of March 1988, I lived with my parents…"

"And I with mine" Tala cut in

"Tala would always come over, we'd spend the days beyblading, going down to the park and just having fun" Kai started up again

"Well until Matthew came along," Tala added in "He was this kid a few years older than Kai and me and he enjoyed picking on us"

"A little too much really, sometimes I felt as though he would go out of his way just to find us," Kai explained,

"Well anyways one day when I was at the park I met up with Matthew and again it was the same thing, he would tease me then we'd battle and I'd finish up with a trashed blade, that's when I first met my grandfather, only he wasn't as nice as I'd always thought, when he saw me lose and then do nothing about it he came over and decided to teach me a lesson,"

"Only Voltaire's lessons always involved pain," Tala added in before letting Kai continue,

"Yeah well after my grandfather knocked me to the ground I got up and ran back home, I never bothered to answer my mother or father when they asked what was wrong I just went to my room and shut everyone out. Then a few minutes later I head yelling from down stairs, curious I went to check it out, I saw my father arguing with the man I would come to loath, my grandfather, I didn't know quite what they were talking about but I knew it had something to do with me. I remember hearing my grandfather say something about me going to some training facility where I'd be trained to become stronger, but my father had none of it. So to cut a long story shot the next day is when I got Dranzer 2nd of March, it was an early birthday present, my father said that she would increase the power of my blade, so naturally I couldn't wait to try it out, I went and rang Tala to see if he could come over, but when Tala answered the phone he didn't sound too happy" Kai stopped to let Tala continue,

"I had just found out that my father had been murdered, sometime last night, my mother was really upset about it as was I, but what we didn't know was that would be the beginning of all hell" Tala stopped and Kai started again,

"Three days later on the 5th I woke up in the morning and ran down stairs to greet my mother, only she never answered my calls, then as I entered the living room I got the shock of my life, there lying on the floor covered in blood was my mother, she had been murdered only no one new what had happened, but as you all heard it was Boris that killed her" Kai looked as though he was on the verge of tears, but the look in his eyes was totally void less like he wasn't even there,

"Three days after that my mother was killed, I found her in the backyard, the grass still stained red with her blood," Tala too was trying his best not to cry,

"Two day later my father went to court, he had heard that a man named Boris was now going to look after Tala, seeing as he now had no other relatives…"

"My father was an only child and my mother was an orphan, so I had no one" commented Tala,

"My father was a lawyer and was determine to get custody of Tala, he'd heard that Boris had been charged for child abuse some years before, but unfortunately my father lost the case, and Tala was sent to go live with Boris" Kai paused for a moment "The next day I was forced to watch my father die, beaten till the last breath left his body, I couldn't believe the amount of blood covering the floor, and I thought that waking up to find my mother dead was bad enough, but watching my grandfather kill his own son that just broke me, I couldn't believe my eyes, I had to dreaming, I just wanted to break down in tears and run away, but when ever I made an attempted to leave my grandfather would stop me. After they took my father's body away my grandfather then started to beat me up, at first I though he was going to kill me as well but he soon stopped, and that's when he gave me the scars on my face, they're actually more like tattoos really but they weren't done the way a normal tattoo would be, my grandfather caused me the most pain possible, they're there to remind me that I'm now under his control that I will always have to do what he tells me, well that's when I was taken to live with him" Kai lowered his sight to look at the table,

"When we were six we were taken to the abbey to train" Tala began, "They were harsh, you'd get punished for the slightest thing wrong, and there was always vigorous training to be done, sometimes even if you didn't do anything wrong they would still beat you, just for the fun of it and to remind you that they were boss" again Tala paused to let Kai continue on,

"You'd get dragged into a room were they would beat the crap out of you, then just leave you there to suffer, only if you were about to die would they take any notice of you, send you down to the first aid ward, but soon after healing they would normally beat you again"

"They loved the sound of your tortured screams as they bashed you around, inflicting the most amount of pain humanely possible. We were taught to block our emotion, that they were weak, only the determination to win was aloud in the abbey" Tala had continued on when Kai stopped,

"So we soon learned to block our emotion, in fact be became void of them, no longer were we normal, never feeling anything, like zombies just doing what we were told. Then when we were thirteen they showed us Black Dranzer, I couldn't believe how awesome that blade was, I wanted it and bad. So that night I snuck out of the room we shared…"

"I should have tried to stop him but for some reason didn't"

"It wasn't really that hard for me to break in and get Black Dranzer, but when I tried to use her well that's when everything back fired, she was far too powerful and ended up destroying half the abbey"

"When the abbey began to collapse five people were killed, two were abbey workers, and three kids, one Boris's son, another a friend of mine and the third was well I don't know, After that I never spoke to Kai again. All the children in the abbey even me thought Kai got special treatment, just because of who his grandfather was, only we had no idea that Kai was actually treated worse than anyone else"

"My grandfather and Boris expected a lot from me, so when I didn't perform to there expectation I was beaten for it, and my grandfather was most unhappy with the little stunt I pulled with Black Dranzer so a few days later I was punished, beaten until I lost consciousness, when I regained it I found myself hanging from the roof of the punishment room, shackles around my wrists, Boris came in and landed a few bows, then pulled out this blade, a large double edge sword. He thrust it threw my left shoulder, then drew the tip diagonally down my back, and stabbed me again…"

"So that's how you got that scar on your back" Michael cut in,

"Yeah, well a few days later I had had it, fed up with all the beatings so I decided to try and escape. I'm still not sure how I pulled it off but I did, I just wonder the streets for days. I figured that I was going to die in the streets of Moscow but then one day my grandfather found me, taking me back to his mansion I stayed with him again, he never mentioned anything about the abbey, but he did keep up the harsh training. When I turned fourteen we went down to Japan where I entered the tournament and became champion, then the next year I met Tyson"

"Wow, ruff life" spoke Steven,

"Hey look what I found," piped up Kenny,

"What?" asked Tyson

"Listen to this…It was a sad day to here about the death of Mark Hiwatari, his beaten and bloody body was found in an alleyway near Main street on the 11th March 1993, no one knows what happened, but police suggest that he was beaten up by some street thugs then left to die. The lawyer had been to a court case the day before, trying to win custody of a young four year old boy named Tala Richard Ivanor who was now an orphan since the death of his mother Courtney who was murdered on the 8th March 1993, and his father Patrick who was murdered only 8 days before hand, who also was best friends with Mark, sadly Mark lost the case and so the young boy Tala was sent to live with a man named Boris Bolkov, who had been charged for child abuse some years earlier. To make matters worse Mark's wife Lily Hiwatari was found dead in the living room by their four year old son Kai Alexander Hiwatari, it seems that someone had broken in and murdered the young lady in the early hours of the morning. But things don't stop there, it seems that Kai's cousin Chris Hiwatari had died on the 23rd July 1990, plus both Anthony Hiwatari who was Marks brother and Melissa Morioka - Marks sister in law were killed in a car crash on the 2nd January 1991. Madison Hiwatari who was Marks mother was found in some bushes by a river, she had been shot countless times in the chest and then last of all was Geoffrey Zuvela who was Lilys father, he had been found dead in his kitchen, they later learned out that he'd been poisoned. So it seems that in the last four years things have not been good for the Hiwatari family, members being killed everywhere. Police have yet to figure out why the family has been targeted but some people suggested that someone is after their large stack of money, and if that's the case then young Kai Hiwatari will need to go to a good home. The last member of the Hiwatari family is Voltaire Hiwatari, young Kai's grandfather. Kai will be sent off to live with his grandfather in the next couple of days, now lets just hope that nothing else happens to the poor boy" Kenny read them a news article from a paper back in 1993.

"Wow it seems that your family was pretty much killed off," said Michael looking over at Kai,

"Mmmm" Kai slowly nodded his head

"But why though, was it really the money someone wanted" spoke Emily,

"No it was me" cut Kai in,

"Huh?" Olive stared over at Kai

"What do you mean Kai?" asked Eddy

"No one was after the family money, my grandfather and Boris were the ones that caused all those deaths, and they did it so that when my mother and father were killed I would have no one else to go to but him" Kai explained,

"I see, that's real harsh," said Enrique,

"Yeah well that's the way my grandfather thinks"

"And I guess that's the same reason why they killed Tala's parents?" asked Mariah,

"Yep, I had no one else so Boris offered to take care of me, being so young I had no choice in the matter, plus when I first saw Boris he didn't seem that bad" spoke Tala,

"We were soon proved wrong," said Kai looking up at the others,

"Hey, I get it now, those poems were about your life in the abbey" Tyson suddenly spoke,

"Huh, what poems? Wait you read those poems" Kai growled glaring at the younger boy,

"What are umm, hehehe" Tyson had a sheepish grin on his face,

"TYSON I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Kai shouted as he stood up and ran over to Tyson, but before he reached the dragon blader he had already run off trying to get away from an angry Kai,

"AHHHH, WAIT NO PLEASE DON'T HURT ME, IT WAS THE OTHERS AS WELL, KENNY READ THEM OUT!" Tyson tried to make Kai stop chasing him, the two were running around the room, jumping over furniture and other obstacles,

"Who ever knew Tyson could move so fast," commented Michael,

"He can when he needs to," said Max laughing at Tyson as he was still being chased by Kai,

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WENT THROUGH MY STUFF, YOU'RE THE MOST UNTRUSTWORTHILY PERSON I'VE EVER KNOWN!" Kai shouted as he almost caught Tyson, but the younger boys quickly jumped over the couch to miss being caught,

"KAI!" shouted Tala,

"WHAT!" snapped Kai he stopped to glare daggers at Tala,

"Just leave him, he's not worth it, besides if you caught him what would you do?" the red head asked

"What kind of a question is that, bash the shit out of him" Kai was still glaring harshly at Tala but the teen didn't seem to notice, Tyson was now hiding behind Ray's chair, breathing heavily from being out of breath.

"That wont accomplish anything, besides the past is the past, beating him up won't change anything" Tala had a good point

"So, it'll make me feel better" Kai added, with a sigh Tala stood up and walked over to his friend who looked kind of stupid standing in the middle of the room, coming face to face with Kai Tala placed both hands of the slate haired teens shoulders,

"Look Kai, I know it would make you feel better, and I must admit it would be cool to watch Tyson get beat up but still, you know it's not right" Tala spoke so only Kai could hear him

"Alright who are you and what have you done with the real Tala?" Kai asked as he cocked an eyebrow, Tala stopped and thought for moment then replied with,

"You're right," Tala paused for another moment "Ok you go left and I'll cut off his escape from the right," he spoke with a smile,

"That's more like it" Kai replied with a smirk,

The others were watching the two closing wounding what they were talking about, then Tala moved off to the right, like he was going to sit down, while Kai walked off to the left, at first they thought he was going to walk out the door but soon changed directions, and was heading towards the table near where Tyson was crouched behind Ray.

"Uh oh" Tyson new what was coming so getting up he ran off to his right only to bump into Tala,

"AAAAHHHH!" Tyson screamed at the top of his lungs as he struggled in Tala's iron like grip, Tala just raised his eyebrows at Tyson's stupid behavior, but then again he was going to get the beating of his life when Kai got his hands on the younger teen. With an evil smirk Kai walked forwards, but just as he was about to reach Tyson something pulled back on his scarf,

"What the?" stopping he looked over his shoulder to see Ray holding him back,

"Ray what are you doing!" snapped Kai glaring at Ray

"Kai don't, we didn't know what was in that book, we were just curious that's all, I know that Tyson as well as me, Max and Kenny are sorry for going through your belongings, and that we shouldn't have done it in the first place, it'll never happen again I promise. Just please don't bash up Tyson, he doesn't know any better you know that." Ray pleaded to Kai, trying to make Kai realized that he shouldn't beat up Tyson no matter how much he wants to

"Fine" Kai replied with a sigh as he sat back down, "Spoil my fun" he muttered afterwards

"I'll get you one day though Tyson" Kai shot a glare over to Tyson who was still struggling in Tala's grip

"Awww" Tala was disappointed that he wouldn't be able to see Tyson get bashed by Kai, letting go of a struggling Tyson Tala sat back down,

"That was close," sighed Tyson as he sat down too.

"Well why don't we go for a nice walk" suggested Emily,

"Yeah sure why not" said Lee as he stood,

"Come on guys" said Michael as he too stood up.

Soon the rest of the teens were standing as well, then walking from the hotel made their way down to a park for some fresh air.

Sorry that chapter was kind of short, but I'm sad to say that the next one is the last. Well still please review. Oh and I went back and redid some of my chapters, mainly just spelling mistakes, but I did add in a few new things, it's entirely up to you weather you go back and read all the chapters again, it wont make a difference to the plot, but yeah, just thought I might tell you.
