note: Was first mean to be a one-shot but I ended up with over 19 pages –sweatdrop- it turned into a full blown plot for a story. You will have to deal with my irregular updating as I'm not a fast writer.

//Too many things that you said about me when I'm not around

You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down

But I've had too many standoffs with you it's about as much as I can
stand

So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine//

The start

The black Mercedes stopped in front of an old storehouse. A tall, slender and pale looking man stepped out of the car. His lavender eyes stood annoyed and angry as he let his eyes slide around his surroundings.

"Where is the little rat?" He muttered as he pulled a hand through his violet hair. Then he leaned against the car, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"I'm right here!" A cold voice sneered through the even colder air. From the shadows a red haired boy appeared. He seemed to be slightly panting. "Show respect." He sneered a minute later after he had catched his breath.

The other male raised an eyebrow. "Yes Sir of course. I always respect the elderly." He stated in mock innocence, a rather evil smirk growing on his lips.

"Get bend!" The red haired Russian stated annoyed. "You're older then me!"

"So? You were the one panting heavily just a few seconds before. God knows why." The violet hared male smirked.

"I was following you all over town!"

The smirk faltered of his face. "What the hell Yuriy? You don't trust me or something?" His lavender eyes glared at the other boy furiously.

Yuriy seem to be thinking about that before a smirk began to play on his lips. "If I have to be honest; no I don't."

"Your honesty is nothing worth!" The lavender eyed man bit at him.

Yuriy chose to let that comment go. However he did shot a death glare in his direction. "And it seems to be that I was correct, Bryan. You were to only scare him, not almost kill him! If that little kitten hadn't saved him we would have a big problem now!" He took a few steps forward towards Bryan. His voice had remained calm and cool. His eyes however had gotten a dangerous glow.

Bryan knew he had to be carefull now. "I suppose I let myself go a little to far." He stated as he wished he wasn't already standing against the Mercedes and could back away.

Yuriy put his hands next to Bryan's body. His crystal blue eyes glared down on Bryan furiously. "A LITTLE to far?" His voice turned dangerously low. One hand he put around Bryans neck now. "I'll show you what happens when I go a little to far!" He started to cut off Bryan's air with just one hand. Bryan kicked and hit him but it didn't help. Yuriy might be slender and skinny; he was incredibly strong at the same time. He tried to scream but it was futile. There was nobody there to begin with. Nobody there to help him. Or was there...

"Ahem Yuriy?"

Yuriy turned around to see who had spoken. Bryan fell to the ground. He took in every breath and shot a thankful look towards the person who had spoken. He knew that if this person hadn't come along Yuriy would've killed him.

"You busy or something?" The person spook again. He had black hair with a large red streak in the middle. His eyebrows were black as his eyes were a piercing green. A golden earring was in his left ear.

Yuriy sighed rather heavily as he casted a look down onto Bryan. "Not really Ozuma. Just taken care of some garbage."

"Garbage huh..." Ozuma smirked as he looked at Bryan curiously. "Ya want some help?" The lights that had appeared in Ozuma's eyes faded when he saw Yuriy shake his head. "You sure? Well Oke then suit yourself!" He stated as he shrugged of his disappointment.

"So what did you find out?" Yuriy asked as he walked away from Bryan and towards Ozuma.

"Nothing big. The things we already knew." Ozuma stated as he shrugged again. "Voltaire said that if Kai didn't come with a yes as an answer before midnight we move the initial plan up forward."

Yuriy sighed. "I don't think Kai will have an answer before midnight."

Ozuma nodded as he agreed with Yuriy. Then he seemed to think of something and fished a knife out of his pocket. He handed it over to Yuriy. "Here's your knife back. You might need it tonight."

"I'll need more then a knife tonight I'm afraid." Yuriy casted a look up towards the sky. "Which one?"

"The blond!"

Max sighed as he stared out of the window. A rather sad smile played on his lips. They had returned about an hour ago back into the hotel.

Ray and Takao had immediately wanted to call a doctor but he had stopped them from doing so. He just knew it wasn't what Kai needed right now. Their team captain didn't need someone with a medical degree fussing over him. All he needed was the support from his friends.

But of course that didn't stop them eventually. They called the Russian hotel management and asked if there was a Japanese Doctor in the Hotel. They were lucky cause it so happened to be a Doctor from their hometown in Japan. Only Takao wasn't all to pleased when he discovered who it was.

The man in general he didn't mind of course. Dr Ryouku was a nice and friendly man. His daughter, Hiromi Ryouku, however was a different story all together. Takao and she had declared an all out war to one another.

"You asshole!"

Max sighed as he turned his head towards where the sound had come from. They should be worrying about Kai but instead... Takao was arguing with Hiromi and Ray was trying to keep the peace while the Majestics were...well god knows where those four bladers were. He didn't even want to know.

"Something the matter Maxy?" Takao asked, appearing from behind him suddenly.

//Yes there is something the matter. Kai is in there and is going through god knows what and all you do is argue! // He wanted to scream at them but he refrained that information to himself. Instead he sighed heavily. "Nothing Takao."

"Ah don't worry buddy. I know you're worrying about Kai. But he'll be fine." Takao put a hand on Max's shoulder but max shrugged it off.

"Yeah Kai will be fine. I mean the best doctor in the world is in there with him." Hiromi popped up in front of him. She had a proud glow in her eyes as she spook.

Takao popped up between them. "I don't want to sound rude but I hardly would call your father the best doctor in the world!"

"Why you...."

"You don't even know him!" Max snapped at her interrupting the upcoming bicker. His blue eyes didn't have that cheerful glow they usually held, rather a.. dangerous one!

"Huh?"

"You don't even know Kai!" Max snapped at her again.

Hiromi took a few steps back.. "I do know him!" She huffed only this time not as sure of herself as she gazed into Max's normally gently eyes.

"Oh yeah?" Takao popped up once more. Hiromi rolled her eyes at this and pushed him onto the ground.

"Hey so I forgot to ask. Where is Kyouji?" Hiromi asked, changing the subject quickly. To be honest she only had seen Kai on pictures in Kyouji's bedroom.

"Uhuh changing the subject ne." Takao teased before he answered her question. "Kyouji left immediately after the final. He said something about a family emergency." He shrugged as if he didn't care.

"After that he never called us and that's about three weeks ago." Ray stated thoughtfully as he sat down onto a chair. "I wonder..."

"You wonder what Ray?" Takao asked suspiciously, eyeing the catlike boy.

But the thoughtful expression had disappeared and was replaced by a smiling one. "Nothing Takao. It's probably nothing."

"If you say so!"

The door of Kai and Ray's bedroom opened and Hiromi's father appeared. When he saw the group, his face lit up. "Hello kids."

"So how is he?" Max asked eagerly.

"Well physically there is nothing wrong with him, mentally however I'm worried. I think he should go see a shrink when you are back home. It seems that some things had a great effect upon him causing this kind of reaction. I wonder what though."

Max sighed as he looked at the door. //Don't worry Kai. You'll be fine. I promised you, you would be fine and I'm keeping it! // ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤
