Summary: The Bladebreakers find out about how Kai was a very good person when he was younger, and wonder why he isn't now. What kind of emotional damage did he receive at the tender age of three, to make him the ruthless, emotionless person he is now?
---- Kai ----
I keep hearing voices in my head. It's strange, because I recognise one, but the other is totally alien. I don't know who it is or why it's always in my head. I know I can't tell the others, because they'll worry and the last thing I need is for four useless idiots to come pelting me with questions about my mental state.
[leave him be, Kate]
[he's my son]
[you abandoned him]
There they were again. Voices. I hate hearing them, especially after visiting that stupid abbey in Russia. Why had the abbey triggered these voices in my head? It wasn't like they had a connection with each other or anything. It was then I realised that I was in my bed in the hotel room, just lying there like an idiot, thinking about some stupid voices. I threw off the covers almost hurriedly, wanting to wash my face in really cold water and maybe having a shower before I faced the team. If I looked anything like I was in the middle of an emotional breakdown, I didn't want them to notice. Tyson, especially, because he doesn't understand what it was like to be me.
"Damn, someone must've come in here at night," I muttered.
The bathroom was exactly the way I found it. I mean, literally the way I found it when I first came in. There was no sign of my things at all, my toothbrush, towel or the clothes from yesterday I had put on the stool so I could wear them again. None of them were there. I heard a knock on the door and a familiar voice.
"Kai?"
"What IS it Tyson?" I demanded. "I'm a little PREOCCUPIED here. Some loser seems to think that stealing my things from the bathroom was amusing."
"That's what I'm here to tell you," Tyson replied. "All of my stuff has been taken as well."
"By a maniac who thinks that toiletries are very fascinating," I drawled.
"Can I come in Kai?"
I didn't bother to reply. Tyson wasn't worth it, after all. I went to the door of my hotel room and flung it open. He was just standing there, fully dressed, with a broad grin on his face. I went to my travel bag and took out a change of clothing. I still can't believe that person would actually take toiletries and old clothes.
"Hm, nice place ya got," Tyson said. "It's much bigger than ours put together."
"Of course it is," I snapped. "I have status here, unlike you."
"Just because your grandfather is the president of Biovolt."
"You have no right to talk about my grandfather," I snarled.
I went to the bathroom and pulled on my usual outfit. Once again, Tyson was getting on my nerves. He always did, after all. I paused. Maybe I shouldn't have been so rude since he was just trying to be nice. Blah, what the hell am I going on about? This is TYSON I'm talking about, the boy who thinks that beating a few bladers would make him world champion. He's immature, so why should he care if I was being nice or rude?
"Fine, we'll meet you in the foyer," his voice said.
Without making sure that I'd heard, the door clicked shut. I sighed impatiently. A talk with Tyson always angered me tremendously. It's almost like I'm choking with the feeling of annoyance or just sheer impatience. He doesn't take a clue about anything, even if it's dancing in front of him buck naked. I mean, not that anyone hasn't tried. His grandfather did just that and Tyson just said: 'who's the old guy?'.
"First a toiletry thief and now a thick-ass oaf," I muttered. "This is going to be a bad day."
---- Tyson ----
I went down to the second level from the top where the more expensive suites were. There were all the other Bladebreakers in the foyer, all fully dressed and rather annoyed. Obviously their stuff had been taken as well. I looked to the front doors at a huge swarm of girls approaching and called out to my team mates.
"Guys! Fan girls at six o'clock!"
Rei was the first to turn around and scrambled away towards the lift. Kenny dragged the already sugar high Max across the foyer until they were also safely in the lift. I waited in front of the doors on the second level, until they caught up. Sure, I loved attention from fans, but fan GIRLS were way too much. Especially the ones who stole stuff from your room when you don't notice - hold on a second - stealing stuff -
"I can't believe they're here already," Rei groaned. "As if it wasn't already bad enough!"
"All of our stuff in the bathrooms has been taken," Kenny explained.
"Yeah, Kai and mine too," I agreed. "I bet you guys it was the fan girls."
"Hee . . . fan girls," Max giggled.
"I can't believe you would actually giggle at a time like this!" Kenny fussed.
Two floor below us, a large group of girls managed to squeeze themselves inside the lift and were rapidly approaching us. There was only one thing left for us to do. We started a wild goose chase, only this time, we were the geese and they were hunting US down. Rei found the fire stairs and we bolted the door behind us. Third floor flew by, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and the eighth. On the final floor, we thought it safe to get out. The corridor was deserted. Kai came out of his room.
"What on earth are you doing?" he demanded.
"FAN GIRLS!" Kenny gasped.
"Well?" he said impatiently. "What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to come in?"
We scrambled right back into Kai's suite and he closed the door behind us. When he turned around again, the door was bolted, locked and the 'Do Not Disturb' sign was outside on the handle. We breathed a sigh of relief before settling ourselves on the floor next to Kai's bed. He sat in one of the chairs and turned to look at us.
"It was lucky you came by," he said finally. "You would've been stuck on this level."
"So, um, why didn't you come out earlier?"
"Well, by now I supposed you would all remember that fan girls like to come in the morning," he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "So I figured that if I came later than usual, they would get messed up about our schedule and maybe just come back later, when we're all gone."
"Smart," I whistled.
"Unlike you."
---- Kai ----
I had told them that it was because of the fan girls that I came out late. That was only an excuse. To tell the truth, it was all because of those stupid voices in my head. The make me nervous and I then sleep fitfully. That's why, for once, Tyson actually got up before me. I looked at them, panting and wheezing, and was secretly glad that I hadn't gone down so early. Sparks danced across my vision.
[I'm taking Kai]
[fine, go ahead, like I care]
There were those voices again! This time, both of them were male. What do they mean they were taking me? Sometimes I just think I am very foolish, believing that these voices were real. They're just voices. I gripped onto the sides of the chair to steady myself. I always got head spins before and after those voices came along. A hand passed over my face a few times, before I knocked it out of the way.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Calm down, Kai," Rei exclaimed. "I was only worried about you. You didn't look too good just then. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I growled. "Now leave me alone. The fan girls should be gone by now."
Why am I such a grouch? I mean, Rei doesn't usually get on my nerves and he doesn't really bother me at all, unless he's worried about me. But who WOULD be worried about me? My own parents didn't want me and my grandfather raised me to take over the world. Why would anyone care about me?
"You're right," Kenny said, his head stuck out the door. "They are all gone."
"Well, come on Kai," Tyson called from the door. "We have to go see Mr D about the tournament and all. Everyone's gonna be there, dude, so COME ON!"
"Are you the captain or am I?" I drawled sarcastically. "I don't take orders from the likes of you. Unless I respect you, there is no way I am going to have you tell me what to do."
"Have it your way."
Don't I always?
---- What's Going To Happen in Chapter Two ----
"Kai, your, uh - mother's here to see you!"
"Mother?"
"Kai has a mother?"
No I don't, my mother never wanted me. I never want to see her again. I'm an orphan and I don't have parents, let alone a mother. I don't want to see this woman.
"Tell her to go away."
