Chapter 6

"Do you want me to hit you again?" Kai asked Tyson shook his head. "Good, then shut up," Kai said before turning to Kenny. "No police. My grandfather is a rich man; he can pay them off. Anyway any hint of the police would just put Rei in more danger," he said. "Well then what should we do?" Max asked, looking up from Kenny to Kai. "You should stay out of it," Kai said, but Kenny just shook his head. He said that they were going to try to help no matter what Kai said. Kai sighed in annoyance as Kenny and Max dragged him back to the hotel room, where they proceeded in trying to come up with a plan, with the occasional protest against not involving the police made by Kenny.

After ridding himself of the trio, Kai finally managed to get some sleep. It wasn't long lasting, and soon he was once again in the dream. This time he was looking at Rei from a different angle. That didn't change anything; the room still had the dark foreboding feel to it. Kai snapped his eyes open as a searing pain ran through his body. Kai looked around finding himself still in his own room. He got out of bed and quietly made his way around the room, deciding he had already wasted enough time here. Rei needed his help and this was getting him nowhere.

As usual, Kenny was the first one awake out of the trio. After grabbing a quick breakfast, he began to wander around their hotel floor. He wondered if Kai was up. Kenny made his way to Kai's room, only to find it was empty. "Ahh this is not good," Kenny said as he looked around the room, his gaze falling on the note on the bedside table. 'What ever you do: NO police' Kenny quickly ran out of Kais room to wake up Tyson and Max up. After finally managing to wake up Tyson, Kenny showed them the note. "Well, shouldn't we go after Kai then?" Tyson asked. Kenny disagreed. "Tyson, for all we know Kai could of left at midnight, or as soon as we left him alone, and if so, he would be long gone by now," he said as they sat down in what they called the living room. "I think Kenny's right, Tyson," Max said, looking at each of his friends. "Well, what do we do now then?" Tyson asked, eager to get moving and do something. "I think we really should go to the police about this, you guys," Kenny said once more. "Didn't you here what Kai said? We can't go to the police, and if Kai has really gone after Rei, then it's putting them both in danger," Max said, looking at Kenny. "Well, what should we do now?" Kenny asked, looking from Tyson to Max, seeing as they weren't happy with his suggestions. "I think we should see Mr Dickenson. After all, he isn't exactly the police," Max said.

Tala and the other Demolition Boys carried Rei into the Hiwatari Mansion They were granted access and they checked they weren't being followed. Tala was the only one omitted into Voltaire's study. Tala and one of Voltaire's favourite butlers carried Rei into his office, before leaving him to lay unconscious on the floor. Voltaire rewarded Tala for his efficiency, before sending him out. Getting up from behind the desk he was stationed at, Voltaire walked over to see the pathetic thing that had taken Kai's mind off winning, power, and everything he had been taught.

Voltaire circled Rei once again, cane in hand. Though he didn't use it, he was going to, though right now it would be pointless; Rei was still unconscious after all. Instead, Voltaire called to the Butler in one of the darkened corners of his office, ordering him to chain Rei to the back wall, before sending him out to keep an eye out for his grandson.

Kai, after having found Voltaire's note, knew he had to get Rei away from his grandfather; if not, he would probably never be able to forgive himself for letting something like this happen. Little did he know, Kenny had woken up early and had also woken Tyson and Max with him. He reached his grandfather's mansion, panting slightly, having ran flat out the majority of the way. Kai didn't knock, storming straight in through the front where he was confronted by the Butler. He was about to dodge him, when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then everything went black.

Rei slowly opened his eyes, allowing them time to adjust to the unnatural dimness of the room. He realised that he was now chained up to a wall. Rei squirmed and tried to pull himself free. He soon gave up as the chains kept threatening to cut into his wrists if he persisted. Voltaire looked up from something on his desk, smirking quietly to himself. "Look who's awake." He got up once more and grabbed his cane Voltaire walks up to Rei, his cold eyes filled with evil menace...
