Rei: The reviews will always be answered at the end of the chapter.
Chapter Two
Kai's POV
Okay, let's see. What exactly is going wrong in my life.
Well.....
1.....After the World Championships, guess where I landed up? Not in the large house that Mr.Dickenson had promised me. Not even in a hotel. Nope, guess where I am?
My grandfather's house. Yes, you heard me right. I'm right back where I started. With Voltaire, the tyrranical warlord who wants to take over the world with myself as his pawn. Notice the present tense.
After the World Championships, I decided to go get a drink of water. But I had only taken a few steps down the hallway when someone dressed completly in black jumped out of the shadows, seized my arm and dealt me a hard blow across the head. I was out cold instantly. When I woke up, I found myself in the bedroom that I am currently sitting in.
I've been here for two months already. No one seems to be looking for me. My grandfather tells me that no one cares about me and don't even notice I'm gone. He always says this with a malicious smirk on his face that makes me want to sink into the floor. He is right, you know.
2......Now he's started his old plan again. To use those abbey freaks to try to take over the world, and to make me stronger so I can assist them.
Psht. Like I'd actually be lured into his trap again like last time.
I can't believe that Tala returned back to the abbey life. I can understand Bryan, Spencer and Ian going back, brain-dead idiots.....but how could Tala? I seriously thought that Takao had changed his ways. I guess the World Champion will be shocked to learn that his efforts were all in vain.
3.....I haven't spoken to Rei all summer. Well, that should probably be obvious....but if there's anyone who I need to talk to now, it's Rei. He's the only one out of the entire team who actually understands me.
....and I would like to see him for other reasons, too.
Reasons that I am not going to tell you. Now go away. Shoo.
Normal POV
Kai leaned against the hard wooden headboard of his bed, crimson eyes narrowed deep in concentration as he scribbled furiously away on the page of an unused journal that he had found tucked away in a part of Voltaire's office and had promptly stolen.
Kai had wrote quite a bit in the book already. After discovering it, Kai had been writing in it practically every day, but was sure to keep it out of his grandfather's sight. If Voltaire caught Kai writing down exactly what life was like in his house.....
Anyway, Kai fully intended to make a book out of this journal. He would call it 'A Year in the life of Kai Hiwatari', because a year was the time span that Voltaire had told him that he would be kept in the house, training, before being sent to the abbey.
Though doubting that anyone would even give his little, pathetic book a second glance, Kai continued to write dutifully, mostly because he felt that if he didn't write in it every day, he would forget about it entirely.
Which was probably true. Kai had an extremly bad memory, and had found out the consequences of the little glitch in his system when Voltaire had become enraged because Kai failed to remember what he had learned the day before.
Though every fangirl that he had ever seen argued to the end that Kai in fact had the best memory of anyone in the world, and could probably remember back to his days as a toddler.
Kai couldn't help but laugh everytime he saw one of them in a chatroom. As if he would actually like to remember what his childhood was like. If Kai had it his way, he would have never had a childhood.
And the idiotic names that they had! The most common one seemed to be 'Kai's Girl', which made Kai snort - as if he'd ever actually spend time with a girl.
Another common thing to do was to put the fangirl's first name and then 'Hiwatari' after it. An example - Krystal Hiwatari. ( I am extremly sorry if your name is Krystal and you are reading this and feel insulted. I swear that the name was entirely random. ) Kai also snorted at this one - the only women who had been in his family weren't worth remembering.
Once Kai had seen a fangirl call herself 'Kai's Bitch', which had made the Russian fall out of his computer chair. As if Kai would ever have a bitch! Pu-lease!
But immediatly afterwards, Kai had begun to think, if he had a choice, who he would make his bitch.....
After a name popped into his head after two seconds of wondering, Kai had whacked himself over the head so hard that he had given himself a mild concussion, and afterwards had been unable to remember exactly who he had thought of.
Kai shook his head, clearing all thoughts of the subject out and returning to his writing.
Kai was pondering over a number 4 when he heard screaming outside. Thinking nothing of it, Kai continued to write - it was a fairly frequent occurence in this neighbourhood - some rich punks would drag a poor street kid out into the park near the mansion and beat the unlucky boy within an inch of his life....and sometimes it was a girl.
His pen flashed quickly across the clean, neat sheets of paper as it continued to scribble something completly irrelevant to the 'story' - right now, Kai was ranting on about how people shouldn't use his name in anything unless they got consent from him first - not like he would give them consent anyway.....
The screaming continued, and Kai placed his pillow over his head in order to muffle out the dreadful noise.
But even his pillow couldn't block out the incredibly loud screaming, and Kai threw it at the window which his bed was placed beside out of pure frusteration.
After a few minutes of the screaming, Kai's ears were ringing, he was growing angrier by the second and he felt like either his head might explode, he would be driven insane or he would go into a violent rage. Kai was quite curious as to which would occur first.
But soon Kai could stand it no longer. His patience had been worn down to a thread, and he leapt up, fully intending to go downstairs and complain to Voltaire about noise pollution.
The final scream was what did it.
The scream came so loud, so long and so painful....that Kai finally snapped. Wrenching the window open with all of his might, Kai stuck his head outside, took a deep breath, and began to do what he had been longing to do for the past five minutes.
"WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP OVER THERE??? I KNOW YOU GUYS MUST BE BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF SOMEONE, BUT COULD YOU PLEASE GAG THE VICTIM OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO WRIIIIITE!!!"
Kai didn't know why he did it, but instantly after he yelled that, he ducked. It was a good thing that Kai had, because a split second after he ducked, a bullet went whizzing past, exactly where his torso had been a second before.
As Kai looked at where the bullet had shattered a picture of Voltaire ( which Kai hadn't been to eager to put up ) and his face went deathly pale. They had tried to shoot him!
Although it was quite unlike him, Kai half-crawled, half-scrambled over to the door on all fours and reached up for the cold brass doorknob, not wanting to spend another minute in this room.
But his plans were foiled as another bullet bounced off of the doorknob, making a loud clanging noise. Kai immediatly dropped his hand and scrambled behind his bed, where he was quite sure that they could not see him.
Kai was soon proved right, as bullets whizzed into the room, hitting the wall and random pictures. Kai jumped about a foot into the air as one hit the headboard of the bed, cracking and splintering it.
Kai glanced fearfully at the door. He could try to make another run for it without getting his hand blown off - but why hadn't Voltaire heard the gunshots yet and come up to see what was going on?
Perhaps they would shoot Voltaire instead. Kai smiled at this idea. He really wouldn't mind if his grandfather was shot - except for the fact that the lovely wooden floor would be stained with blood.
Kai was jerked out of his thoughts at the sudden silence that had fallen over the room. The bullets had stopped, and everything was deathly still. Not even the birds were making any noise, but Kai suspected that was because they had been shot at as well.
Poking his head out from behind the bed, Kai clapped a hand to his cheek and ducked back down as a bullet whipped by him, narrowely missing his face but making a large gash across his cheek.
Crimson blood tricked from between Kai's pale fingers, dripping onto his pants and the floor. Kai winced as he touched the wound gingerly. That hadn't been very smart.
Sure enough, the bullets stopped again. Kai didn't dare look again, and instead hugged his knees to his chest and pressed his cheek against his left knee, stemming the bloodflow a bit.
But after a few minutes of the overwhelming silence, Kai couldn't stand it anymore. He crawled over to the window and glanced up at it hesitantly, not sure whether he should risk his neck trying to look outside again.
But his body seemed to have taken on a mind of it's own, as Kai suddenly found himself standing up without remembering having moved.
Two bullets darted past him on either side, the bullet on the right making a small gash across his elbow. Kai winced, but stood his ground and stared determindely at the figures on the other side of the street, guns pointed straight at him.
Kai noticed a figure lying curled up beside them. But the person didn't look big enough to be one of the teenagers that they usually beat up - had they been hurting a child? Kai's lip curled and his fists clenched themselves.
One of the kids yelled something from the park - from what Kai was able to make out, it was very rude indeed - and fired. The bullet shot over Kai's head, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
But then Kai blinked. That bullet hadn't come very close to him.....either the kid's aim was incredibly bad, or......
Kai's unfinished second thought was proved correct as three more bullets were fired, but none came even close to him. Kai's crimson red lips broke into a grin. He should have known....these kids never intended to hurt him. They just wanted to scare the Russian off so he wouldn't be a witness to their beating. The first shot that had been fired must have been an accident.
After a few more bullets were fired, one of the kids dropped his gun and yelled something up at Kai.
"Hey, mister.....could you please just leave? We're wasting bullets here, and we just wanna get this over with!" The boy yelled up, looking confused that Kai still wasn't gone and a bit annoyed. There was a touch of pleading in his voice.
Kai rested his hands on the windowsill. "Well....I don't know. Who are you beating up this time?" He asked, his strong voice ringing out clearly across the street.
The boy looked behind him at the others, clearly asking silently whether he should tell Kai. But at a curt nod from one of the other boys, the kid turned back.
"A chibi! He's been threatening to tell someone about us for weeks, and we finally decided to shut him up for good!" The boy shouted, looking a touch pleased.
Kai's maroon eyes, usually devoid of all emotion, widened in surprise. A chibi! So he had been right.....Kai glanced at the curled up figure on the ground and something happened deep within of him.
"Hey, just wait a moment! I'll be right down!" Kai shouted, and ran for the door without telling them exactly what he was going to do.
Kai managed to avoid five servants who would most definetly ( I'm about 100% sure that I spelled that word wrong. == ) stop him from leaving, and darted out of the front door - being careful not to slam it - and ran across the deserted street to the whispering boys.
Kai couldn't help but stop on the other side of the street and breathe in the fresh air. He hadn't been outside in two months, and had forgotten how fresh and clean the beautiful air was.
The boy who had been yelling to Kai approached him, his dark brown eyes checking Kai out. "So.....whadya want? Are ya gonna help us beat up this brat?" The boy gestured to the chibi - who Kai noticed - hadn't moved an inch.
The boy had messy dark brown hair and dirty clothing - which was how almost all of the boys looked - and after Kai asked, learned that his name was Carl.
Kai bit his lip. "Well....." He tried to think of how to get the chibi away from these boys.
Carl glanced at the chibi, who had started to stir. "Just a minute." He turned away from Kai and walked over to the chibi, who opened his large eyes and looked up at Carl fearfully.
"No hit...." The small chibi whimpered in a voice that made Kai almost melt away - but Carl paid no attention to the child's plea.
Smirking, Carl proceeded to kick the chibi roughly, making the child scream in pain and curl up, trying to shield himseld from Carl's kicks unsuccesfully. Kai saw blood starting to leak from his head and stepped forward, teeth gritted in anger.
"Stop!" Kai yelled, and surprisingly, Carl did. "What?" He asked, an eyebrow raised. "You wanna kick 'im too?"
Kai shook his head, wondering if he did look like someone who would kick a chibi. "No.....look, you guys have already done all of the stuff that you can do...but I can get him mentally and physically tortured for you." He looked up, a forced grin on his face.
A smile spread across Carl's features. "Really? You would?"
Kai nodded, feeling rather sick at the way that all of the boys were smiling. They would actually like him to take the chibi and have the small child tortured.
Carl looked at the others. "Whadya say, mates? Do ya all think that we should give the brat to 'im and get the brat tortured?"
There was a loud roar of approval from the boys, and they started to stamp their feet and cheer loudly. Kai glanced around nervously, afraid that someone might come and see. Or even worse, his grandfather or a servant would look out of one of the windows and spot him.
Carl picked up the bawling chibi and flung him at Kai's feet. The small child began to cry even louder as he hit the ground, which only made the boys laugh more.
"Hey, where are you gonna get 'im tortured?" One of the boys asked. Kai picked up the child and slung him over his shoulder as to not make the gang suspicious.
"Er...an abbey in Russia." Kai replied. He had been intending to say that from the start - no doubt Boris would love to have a small child to beat.
The boys glanced at one another. Obviously they hadn't been expecting Kai to say an abbey.
Carl shrugged, not suspicious of Kai's odd answer. "Well, just make sure that they give 'im EXTRA SPECIAL treatment." Carl's eyes glittered evilly and he began to laugh.
The rest of the boys joined in after a few seconds. Kai tried to laugh too, but could only manage sort of a hoarse strangled noise.
The small chibi screamed at the top of his lungs and hit Kai's shoulder and back with his tiny fists. "HEWP!!!!" He screamed. "HEWP!!!!" Kai's heart ached as he watched the crying child, but he had to do this.
"Well....it's been nice seeing you guys, but I have to get back to my house to ship....this BRAT off." Kai made a fake glare at the chibi, who looked like he was crying so hard it was becoming difficult for him to breathe.
All the more reason to get back to the house quicker. Kai waved farewell to the laughing and cheering boys, then sprinted back to his house as fast as his legs would carry him.
But when Kai reached his front door, he realized that the chibi was screaming so loudly that he would never be able to smuggle him in. Checking back to make sure the boys were gone - which they were - Kai grabbed an unused garbage bag that was lying beside the front steps and stuffed the screaming chibi inside of it.
The small child hit the bag with his tiny fists and feet, but his efforts were in vain and soon he curled up into a ball, crying. After he stopped yelling, Kai quickly dashed inside and took the steps three at a time as he ran up to his room.
As soon as he was safely inside, Kai locked the door - and being careful not to step on any of the broken glass - made his way to his bed where he dumped the bag. The chibi didn't move.
Kai sank onto his warm bedsheets beside it, breathing a sigh of relief that his plan had worked. He had managed to get the chibi away safely.
Kai glanced at the garbage bag. Muffled cries were coming out of it. He usually had no compassion whatsoever for bratty children, but he felt that he just had to help this one.
As Kai continued to stare at the bag, he realized that he really hadn't seen the child yet. Reaching into the bag, Kai fished around in it until his fingers touched soft skin and then hair.
Kai grabbed onto the hair, and not thinking that this might hurt, yanked on it as to pull the chibi out.
A loud scream of pain came from the bag, and then Kai made a cry of his own as teeth sank into his finger.
Yanking his hand out of the bag, Kai waved it around as to shake the child off, whose tiny teeth were sunk into his finger, going deeper and deeper with each passing second.
Even though the chibi's teeth weren't fully developed, they were still causing excruciating pain for poor Kai, who was still trying to get the chibi off.
Soon Kai realized that he only had one choice. Balling his free hand up into a fist, Kai brought it down as hard as he could onto the child's head.
Instantly, the chibi let go, fell on his bottom onto the hard wooden floor, blinked a few times, then began to bawl, holding his head with his small hands.
Kai instantly felt a wave of pity wash over him. He knew that he shouldn't have done that, and felt extremly guilty. Crouching down so he could properly see the chibi, Kai took one of the tiny hands in his own.
"I'm sorry....I didn't mean to hit you." Kai said in the gentlest voice that he could produce. But the crying child simply turned away, yanking his hand out of Kai's grip.
So poor, confused Kai had to sit on the floor, feeling extremly sorry for the chibi, until the child stopped crying and simply sat there, sniffling and rubbing his eyes.
Kai took one of the chibi's hands again and turned him around, as to see his face. But what Kai saw made him almost faint clean away.
The small chibi was incredibly adorable, with blue and grey spiked hair, large maroon chibi eyes which were now red and puffy from crying, two blue trianges on either side of his face, and baby soft flesh which was as pale as Kai's.
"Y-You...." Kai stuttered, staring incredously at the chibi. How could he look exactly like Kai? Something that Kai had heard about everyone having a twin in the world flashed through his mind, but was quickly pushed aside by many other thoughts.
"W-What's your name?" Kai asked, dreading the answer.
The small chibi sniffed, wiping away a tear that threatened to spill out. "I Kai. What you name?"
That did it. Kai dropped the child's hand, jumped up and backed away, white in fear, the blood completly drained from his face. "N-no....you can't be named Kai!" The Russian blader yelled in panic.
Small Kai tilted his head to the side, looking confused in a very cute way. "But I Kai. Me be Kai." He spoke slowly, as if Kai was a toddler who couldn't seem to understand that one plus one equals two. ( Mheh heh....I love that. )
Kai slowly approached the small boy, sitting down in front of him. "Well....I'm Kai too." He said, still nervous.
The chibi clapped his tiny hands, squealing happily. "We be Kai!!! KaiKaiKaiKaiKAAAAI!!!" He shrieked in delight, as if he couldn't believe that Kai had the same name as him.
Somehow, Kai couldn't share the child's enthusiasm. "Um....is it alright if I just call you 'Small Kai'?" He asked without meaning to.
The chibi wrinkled his tiny nose. "No like. Kai want be 'Chibi Kai.' "
"Fine then. You're Chibi Kai." Kai sighed. He personally liked 'Small Kai' better....but whatever.
Chibi Kai laughed happily as he clapped his hands again, then stopped and blinked up at Kai. Kai raised an eyebrow.
He should have seen it coming. Chibi Kai jumped onto Kai, knocking the Bladebreaker's team captain over out of sheer surprise, squealing at the top of his lungs.
"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chibi Kai shrieked, which made Kai wonder if perhaps he had eaten some sugar, like Max was prone to doing at least seven times a day.
"Yeah....I'm Kai. That's great." Kai replied quickly, heaving the laughing chibi off of him with some difficulty and sitting up.
But no sooner then he fell off of Kai, Chibi Kai jumped back on, giggling hysterically. Kai groaned as he was knocked over again. Just great.
"But how can we both be named Kai?" Kai wondered aloud.
Chibi Kai stopped giggling and looked at Kai seriously. " 'cause me be chibi self of Kai!"
Without properly explaining what that meant, the chibi jumped off of Kai and ran to the bed, trying to scale the bedsheets.
Kai sat up, now extremly confused. "How can you be my chibi self? If you were, you wouldn't be laughing and playing! My childhood was hell!" Kai yelled as he strained to block out some of his chibi memories that he actually could remember.
Chibi Kai decided not to answer this question and instead, as he tried to climb up the sheets, began to sing; "Hellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhell...."
The child looked over his shoulder at Kai. "What mean hell Kai?"
"Nevermind! Don't say that word!" Kai said quickly, trying to stop Chibi Kai from saying 'hell' anymore.
Surprsingly, the chibi did as he was told and tried to climb the sheets once more, but slipped down onto his bottom and began to cry out of pure frusteration.
Quick as a flash, Kai had scooped Chibi Kai up and placed him on the bed, not wanting him to cry again. Chibi Kai giggled as he crawled across the bed and over to the window.
The chibi peeped over the windowsill, and drew in a breath as a pompous fat lady strode by with her posh poodle. ( I love that! Posh poodle, posh poodle.... )
"DOO-DOO HEAD!!!!" Chibi Kai screamed at the top of his lungs, and then ducked back down, giggling.
Kai opened his mouth to yell at Chibi Kai when an idnigant scream shattered his eardrums.
"HOW DARE YOU!!! YOUNG MAN, YOU SHOULD WASH OUT YOUR MOUTH WITH SOAP! WHO IS YOUR MOTHER? DOES SHE KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAYING WORDS LIKE THAT? IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD -"
But Kai never heard what she would do if she were him, because Kai slammed the window shut at that point and dragged Chibi Kai away from the windowsill and sat with him on the floor.
"Chibi Kai...." Kai started, his voice low and menancing.
Chibi Kai stopped laughing and looked up at an extremly furious Kai. In the blink of an eye, his adorable large maroon chibi eyes were brimming with tears and he began to cry, hugging his knees to his chest.
"Kai sowwy!" The chibi wailed. "No hit! No hit!"
Kai blinked in surprise, and his menancing look vanished. He had made him cry! "Augh! Don't cry!" Kai shouted in panic, grabbing Chibi Kai and holding him tightly to his chest, rubbing circles on the baby soft flesh.
Chibi Kai soon stopped crying, and the next time that Kai looked at him, the child had fallen asleep. Kai couldn't help but smile. He really was adorable.
Tickling the chibi's stomach, Kai was pleased to see Chibi Kai wiggle around in his sleep, laughing silently. But as Kai looked down a bit further....
Instantly, Kai pressed the child to his stomach again, crimson eyes wide, having seen something that he didn't exactly want to see. Ever.
Only now, Kai noticed that Chibi Kai wasn't wearing anything. So, placing the child on the bed - where Chibi Kai began to hug Kai's pillow - Kai walked downstairs and finding one of the maids, ordered her to go down to the mall and buy some chibi clothes, diapers, toys and anything else that she thought a chibi might need.
"But Master Kai, why-" The woman began to ask, but was cut off when Kai pressed an enormous amount of money into her hands. "Don't ask. Just do." Kai growled in his regualar, cold voice.
The maid nodded and hurried off to change out of her work outfit. Kai smirked as he counted the money that he still had left. It wasn't his, after all....
Going back upstairs, Kai couldn't help but smile at the way that Chibi Kai was snuggling into the soft pillow. Kai suddenly had an urge to pick Chibi Kai up and hug him as tightly as he could, but resisted the urge and instead sat down at his computer chair and surfed the web. ( how else would Kai be able to get into those chatrooms and laugh at fangirl's usernames? )
After about an hour and a half, Kai heard the front door open. Bounding downstairs, Kai quickly grabbed the massive amount of packages and, whispering quickly to the maid not to breathe a word of this to anyone, ran back upstairs, the packages tucked under his arms.
Slamming and locking the door behind him, Kai dumped all of the parcels onto the floor and began to take the things out of their bags, checking them out before placing them all in a pile.
Chibi Kai was woken by the sound of the door slamming, and sat up, rubbing sleep out of his eyes with his tiny fists. He looked at Kai and smiled, but then his attention turned to the large pile of clothes, diapers, toys and plushies.
The small chibi's eyes widened in shock. Could all of this be for him? But before his mind had a chance to answer, Chibi Kai had leapt off of the bed and flung himself onto the neatly stacked pile, rolling around in the clothes and becoming tangled up, throwing the plushies, plastic cars and books everywhere, and ripping open the diaper packages.
Kai was caught by surprise, and watched, dumbfounded, as Chibi Kai ransacked everything, throwing and kicking things, trying to eat a dark blue long-sleeved shirt and putting socks on his ears.
But as soon as Kai's brain properly registered what Chibi Kai was doing, Kai had grabbed the first part of Chibi Kai that he could reach and was now holding the laughing chibi by the ankle, dangling him in mid-air.
"Hey, you little brat!" Kai hissed viciously. "What in the name of hell do you think you're doing?"
Chibi Kai blinked, then began to sing loudly. "Hellhellhellhellhellhellhellhell....."
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP SAYING THAT WORD!!!" Kai roared, shaking Chibi Kai roughly. The small chibi shrieked as he was swung from side to side, not enjoying this experience at all.
"HEWP!!! HEWP!!!" Chibi Kai screamed as Kai continued to shake him. "No wike!! ( like ) NO WIKE!!!"
But Kai didn't stop shaking the child until Chibi Kai had promised ( through sobs ) that he would never do this again. Kai then placed Chibi Kai on the bed - and fighting to control his temper - began to arrange everything again.
Chibi Kai sniffled as he watched Kai stack everything up again, a small voice his chibi mind telling him to do it again. "No." Chibi Kai whispered to the little voice. "Me tell Kai me neva do 'gain."
Kai raised an eyebrow as he heard Chibi Kai whisper to no one in particular, but decided not to ask in case bringing up the subject would make Chibi Kai more upset then he already was.
Chibi Kai didn't say a word as Kai put his diaper, clothes and shoes on him, but only made a small noise of discomfort when some of his hair got tangled in the comb that Kai was trying to brush his hair with.
Soon, Chibi Kai was perfectly happy and was playing with a Kai plushie that the maid had bought. ( Kai would never know, but the maid had chosen the Kai plushie because she thought that it would suit Kai's large ego. )
Kai was a bit disappointed that Chibi Kai wasn't playing with the Rei plushie that had also been bought. Kai, however, was examining it, and had once tried to see if the clothes could be taken off - much to his disappointment, they were sewed on. ( Lol. Kai's a pervert! )
The maid had been sensible enough to buy a Tala plushie as well, but Kai had promptly chucked it out of the window as soon as he had seen it, not wanting to be reminded of Tala in any matter, shape or form, especially a plushie.
Chibi Kai had thrown a fit when he had learned that Kai had thrown his plushie out of the window, but had calmed down once Kai made a fake promise that he would buy him a new one.
Chibi Kai was dressed in the dark blue long-sleeved shirt that he had been trying to eat before, a pair of black jeans, a black jacket and red sneakers. He looked absolutely adorable, and Kai had once given in to the urge to hug him.
Kai watched the giggling chibi toss the Kai plushie around, a small smile on his face. Chibi Kai was making feelings emerge that Kai didn't even know that he posessed before.
Chibi Kai stopped throwing the plushie around and dug into one of his jean pockets, apparently searching for something. Kai raised an eyebrow. He didn't remember putting anything in the pockets....
Soon enough, Chibi Kai found what he was looking for. Holding it in his hand tightly, Chibi Kai toddled over to Kai and held up a crumpled scrap of paper. "Kai wead!! ( read )" He squealed.
Kai knew that there was nothing on the paper, but decided to play along anyway. Uncrumpling it, Kai examined the blank scrap of paper carefully. "Hmm....interesting. Very interesting." A small smirk flitted over his lips.
Chibi Kai frowned, hands on hips. "Stoopid. Wong ( wrong ) side."
Kai blinked and turned the paper over. Much to his surprise, there actually was writing on the other side of the paper. It was extremly small writing, but if he squinted, Kai could just make it out.
"2384 Higurashi House." Kai read, raising an eyebrow. He glanced at the grinning chibi. "Where did you get this? And what is 'Higurashi House'?"
( Yes, I know that in the first chapter, it was Hemmington House, not Higurashi House. But Higurashi definetely sounds Japanese, so I changed it. So sue me. == )
Chibi Kai giggled, his tiny hands clapped over his mouth. "Hig'rashi house in Japan. We go." He said, his voice slightly muffled.
Kai's eyebrow, if it was possible, raised even higher. "Why in the name of h-( Kai stopped himself from saying 'hell' as soon as he realized that it was coming out of his mouth ) h...heck would I just take off to Japan?"
Chibi Kai didn't answer and began to push the unused clothes on the bed into a messy pile. "Pack cwothes and toys and pwushie. We go to Japan."
Kai opened his mouth to say something else, but closed it and glanced back at the paper. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all.....
"But you're going to need a passport." Kai told the excited chibi. In fact, Kai didn't even think that HE had a passport.
Chibi Kai shook his head. "No need passport. We go."
Kai looked at the paper again, then crumpled it up and stuffed it in his jean pocket. Why not? It's not like he exactly wanted to stay here.
As soon as Kai told Chibi Kai that they were going, the chibi began shrieking in delight and jumped off of the bed, then began to roll around on the floor, giggling.
Kai watched the chibi roll with a large smile. He would look like a complete idiot trying to get to Japan without a passport, but it would be fun trying.
In a matter of minutes, Kai had packed everything that he needed into two suitcases, and there was another suitcase for Chibi Kai. Kai had already called a taxi, and had ordered the driver to pick him up at the back of the house, so no one would notice.
Chibi Kai was holding his Kai and Rei plushies, squishing them tightly together. Kai blushed a light shade of pink and looked away when he realized that the lips of both plushies were also being squished together.
Kai placed Chibi Kai on top of one of the suitcases and wheeled it out of the room, trying to shush the squealing chibi. Chibi Kai loved being on top of the suitcase, and simply would not stay quiet.
Kai was quite suprised that no one heard Chibi Kai, who was making enough noise to wake people in China. But the Russian made no objection as he wheeled the suitcases downstairs and out of the door.
It was starting to drizzle a bit, and Chibi Kai clung onto Kai's shirt, trying to shield himself from the rain. Rain drizzled down Kai's face, getting in his eyes and going down his shirt. ( Most fangirls would make no objection to this, though. The sight of Kai completly soaked would probably make the normal fangirl foam at the mouth and faint. )
It was a few minutes before the taxi came, and Chibi Kai passed the time by making the Kai and Rei plushies scurry about on the tops of the suitcases, trying to hide from the rain.
When the yellow and black car pulled up to the sidewalk, splashing dirty water onto the sidewalk - it was pouring buckets by now - Chibi Kai's large maroon chibi eyes just about popped out of his head.
The chibi ran up to the car and began jumping up and down in front of it, waving his Kai and Rei plushies around.
"Car!! Car!! CARCARCARCARCARCARCAR!!!!" Chibi Kai screamed, about going ballistic. Kai had to practically get the child in a headlock to get him to stop yelling.
The taxi driver stopped halfway out of the car, his eyes wide and fearful at the sight of the screaming chibi. But when Kai grabbed him and got Chibi Kai to shut up, the driver finally managed to muster up the courage and get their suitcases, even though he looked very much like he would like nothing better then to just jump in his car and drive away.
Soon enough, the suitcases were in the trunk and Chibi Kai was sitting in the back, though if Kai and the driver had their ways, he would be in the trunk as well. The small chibi had become hungry and was yelling for food.
"FOOD! FOOD! KAI WANT FOOD!" Chibi Kai screamed at the top of his lungs, kicking his tiny feet angrily and pulling at the seatbelt, as if he wanted to jump out of his restraint and maul the driver and Kai in search for food.
Kai looked pleadingly at the taxi driver. "Do you have ANY food?"
The driver - if his name tag was correct, his name was Robert - shook his brown-haired head. "No. If I had anything, I would have given something to the brat long ago." When he said the word 'brat', Robert shot a deathly glare at Chibi Kai.
Kai sighed in despair, then noticed something sticking out of the pocket of Robert's pants. It looked suspiciously like a packet of gum.
"What is that?" Kai asked, pointing to the packet.
Robert glanced at it, and his dark green eyes lit up. "Ah! I forgot that was in there!" He drew it out of his pocket and inspected it closely. "Yep, this is it. I forgot that I put a packet of gum in there this morning -"
But Kai didn't give him a chance to answer, as he yanked the gum from Robert's hands, ripped it open, drew out a small pink stick of gum, undid his seatbelt, scrambled over to Chibi Kai and stuffed the gum into his mouth.
Instantly, the chibi stopped screaming and began to chew the gum happily. Kai gave an audible sigh of relief as silence overwhelmed the taxi, and he slipped back into his seat. The traffic then started ( it had been a red light ) and they zipped off.
Kai glanced back at Chibi Kai, half -expecting him to spit out the gum and start screaming again, but to immense relief, Chibi Kai was fast asleep, the gum nowhere in sight. Kai had a nasty feeling that the chibi had swallowed it.
The child's chest rose up and down slowly as he took slow, deep breaths. Kai couldn't help but smile. He looked so cute. The Rei plushie dangled from Chibi Kai's tiny hand, and as the taxi gave a violent lurch as Robert stopped abruptly to avoid crashing into the back of a grocery truck that had suddenly swerved in front of him, the plushie fell and lay face down on the car floor.
Kai looked at the sheets of rain pouring down the windows of the taxi. As dismal as this night might be....it was also wonderful.
Wonderful in a sick, twisted, masochistic sort of way.

Chapter Two
Kai's POV
Okay, let's see. What exactly is going wrong in my life.
Well.....
1.....After the World Championships, guess where I landed up? Not in the large house that Mr.Dickenson had promised me. Not even in a hotel. Nope, guess where I am?
My grandfather's house. Yes, you heard me right. I'm right back where I started. With Voltaire, the tyrranical warlord who wants to take over the world with myself as his pawn. Notice the present tense.
After the World Championships, I decided to go get a drink of water. But I had only taken a few steps down the hallway when someone dressed completly in black jumped out of the shadows, seized my arm and dealt me a hard blow across the head. I was out cold instantly. When I woke up, I found myself in the bedroom that I am currently sitting in.
I've been here for two months already. No one seems to be looking for me. My grandfather tells me that no one cares about me and don't even notice I'm gone. He always says this with a malicious smirk on his face that makes me want to sink into the floor. He is right, you know.
2......Now he's started his old plan again. To use those abbey freaks to try to take over the world, and to make me stronger so I can assist them.
Psht. Like I'd actually be lured into his trap again like last time.
I can't believe that Tala returned back to the abbey life. I can understand Bryan, Spencer and Ian going back, brain-dead idiots.....but how could Tala? I seriously thought that Takao had changed his ways. I guess the World Champion will be shocked to learn that his efforts were all in vain.
3.....I haven't spoken to Rei all summer. Well, that should probably be obvious....but if there's anyone who I need to talk to now, it's Rei. He's the only one out of the entire team who actually understands me.
....and I would like to see him for other reasons, too.
Reasons that I am not going to tell you. Now go away. Shoo.
Normal POV
Kai leaned against the hard wooden headboard of his bed, crimson eyes narrowed deep in concentration as he scribbled furiously away on the page of an unused journal that he had found tucked away in a part of Voltaire's office and had promptly stolen.
Kai had wrote quite a bit in the book already. After discovering it, Kai had been writing in it practically every day, but was sure to keep it out of his grandfather's sight. If Voltaire caught Kai writing down exactly what life was like in his house.....
Anyway, Kai fully intended to make a book out of this journal. He would call it 'A Year in the life of Kai Hiwatari', because a year was the time span that Voltaire had told him that he would be kept in the house, training, before being sent to the abbey.
Though doubting that anyone would even give his little, pathetic book a second glance, Kai continued to write dutifully, mostly because he felt that if he didn't write in it every day, he would forget about it entirely.
Which was probably true. Kai had an extremly bad memory, and had found out the consequences of the little glitch in his system when Voltaire had become enraged because Kai failed to remember what he had learned the day before.
Though every fangirl that he had ever seen argued to the end that Kai in fact had the best memory of anyone in the world, and could probably remember back to his days as a toddler.
Kai couldn't help but laugh everytime he saw one of them in a chatroom. As if he would actually like to remember what his childhood was like. If Kai had it his way, he would have never had a childhood.
And the idiotic names that they had! The most common one seemed to be 'Kai's Girl', which made Kai snort - as if he'd ever actually spend time with a girl.
Another common thing to do was to put the fangirl's first name and then 'Hiwatari' after it. An example - Krystal Hiwatari. ( I am extremly sorry if your name is Krystal and you are reading this and feel insulted. I swear that the name was entirely random. ) Kai also snorted at this one - the only women who had been in his family weren't worth remembering.
Once Kai had seen a fangirl call herself 'Kai's Bitch', which had made the Russian fall out of his computer chair. As if Kai would ever have a bitch! Pu-lease!
But immediatly afterwards, Kai had begun to think, if he had a choice, who he would make his bitch.....
After a name popped into his head after two seconds of wondering, Kai had whacked himself over the head so hard that he had given himself a mild concussion, and afterwards had been unable to remember exactly who he had thought of.
Kai shook his head, clearing all thoughts of the subject out and returning to his writing.
Kai was pondering over a number 4 when he heard screaming outside. Thinking nothing of it, Kai continued to write - it was a fairly frequent occurence in this neighbourhood - some rich punks would drag a poor street kid out into the park near the mansion and beat the unlucky boy within an inch of his life....and sometimes it was a girl.
His pen flashed quickly across the clean, neat sheets of paper as it continued to scribble something completly irrelevant to the 'story' - right now, Kai was ranting on about how people shouldn't use his name in anything unless they got consent from him first - not like he would give them consent anyway.....
The screaming continued, and Kai placed his pillow over his head in order to muffle out the dreadful noise.
But even his pillow couldn't block out the incredibly loud screaming, and Kai threw it at the window which his bed was placed beside out of pure frusteration.
After a few minutes of the screaming, Kai's ears were ringing, he was growing angrier by the second and he felt like either his head might explode, he would be driven insane or he would go into a violent rage. Kai was quite curious as to which would occur first.
But soon Kai could stand it no longer. His patience had been worn down to a thread, and he leapt up, fully intending to go downstairs and complain to Voltaire about noise pollution.
The final scream was what did it.
The scream came so loud, so long and so painful....that Kai finally snapped. Wrenching the window open with all of his might, Kai stuck his head outside, took a deep breath, and began to do what he had been longing to do for the past five minutes.
"WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP OVER THERE??? I KNOW YOU GUYS MUST BE BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF SOMEONE, BUT COULD YOU PLEASE GAG THE VICTIM OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO WRIIIIITE!!!"
Kai didn't know why he did it, but instantly after he yelled that, he ducked. It was a good thing that Kai had, because a split second after he ducked, a bullet went whizzing past, exactly where his torso had been a second before.
As Kai looked at where the bullet had shattered a picture of Voltaire ( which Kai hadn't been to eager to put up ) and his face went deathly pale. They had tried to shoot him!
Although it was quite unlike him, Kai half-crawled, half-scrambled over to the door on all fours and reached up for the cold brass doorknob, not wanting to spend another minute in this room.
But his plans were foiled as another bullet bounced off of the doorknob, making a loud clanging noise. Kai immediatly dropped his hand and scrambled behind his bed, where he was quite sure that they could not see him.
Kai was soon proved right, as bullets whizzed into the room, hitting the wall and random pictures. Kai jumped about a foot into the air as one hit the headboard of the bed, cracking and splintering it.
Kai glanced fearfully at the door. He could try to make another run for it without getting his hand blown off - but why hadn't Voltaire heard the gunshots yet and come up to see what was going on?
Perhaps they would shoot Voltaire instead. Kai smiled at this idea. He really wouldn't mind if his grandfather was shot - except for the fact that the lovely wooden floor would be stained with blood.
Kai was jerked out of his thoughts at the sudden silence that had fallen over the room. The bullets had stopped, and everything was deathly still. Not even the birds were making any noise, but Kai suspected that was because they had been shot at as well.
Poking his head out from behind the bed, Kai clapped a hand to his cheek and ducked back down as a bullet whipped by him, narrowely missing his face but making a large gash across his cheek.
Crimson blood tricked from between Kai's pale fingers, dripping onto his pants and the floor. Kai winced as he touched the wound gingerly. That hadn't been very smart.
Sure enough, the bullets stopped again. Kai didn't dare look again, and instead hugged his knees to his chest and pressed his cheek against his left knee, stemming the bloodflow a bit.
But after a few minutes of the overwhelming silence, Kai couldn't stand it anymore. He crawled over to the window and glanced up at it hesitantly, not sure whether he should risk his neck trying to look outside again.
But his body seemed to have taken on a mind of it's own, as Kai suddenly found himself standing up without remembering having moved.
Two bullets darted past him on either side, the bullet on the right making a small gash across his elbow. Kai winced, but stood his ground and stared determindely at the figures on the other side of the street, guns pointed straight at him.
Kai noticed a figure lying curled up beside them. But the person didn't look big enough to be one of the teenagers that they usually beat up - had they been hurting a child? Kai's lip curled and his fists clenched themselves.
One of the kids yelled something from the park - from what Kai was able to make out, it was very rude indeed - and fired. The bullet shot over Kai's head, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
But then Kai blinked. That bullet hadn't come very close to him.....either the kid's aim was incredibly bad, or......
Kai's unfinished second thought was proved correct as three more bullets were fired, but none came even close to him. Kai's crimson red lips broke into a grin. He should have known....these kids never intended to hurt him. They just wanted to scare the Russian off so he wouldn't be a witness to their beating. The first shot that had been fired must have been an accident.
After a few more bullets were fired, one of the kids dropped his gun and yelled something up at Kai.
"Hey, mister.....could you please just leave? We're wasting bullets here, and we just wanna get this over with!" The boy yelled up, looking confused that Kai still wasn't gone and a bit annoyed. There was a touch of pleading in his voice.
Kai rested his hands on the windowsill. "Well....I don't know. Who are you beating up this time?" He asked, his strong voice ringing out clearly across the street.
The boy looked behind him at the others, clearly asking silently whether he should tell Kai. But at a curt nod from one of the other boys, the kid turned back.
"A chibi! He's been threatening to tell someone about us for weeks, and we finally decided to shut him up for good!" The boy shouted, looking a touch pleased.
Kai's maroon eyes, usually devoid of all emotion, widened in surprise. A chibi! So he had been right.....Kai glanced at the curled up figure on the ground and something happened deep within of him.
"Hey, just wait a moment! I'll be right down!" Kai shouted, and ran for the door without telling them exactly what he was going to do.
Kai managed to avoid five servants who would most definetly ( I'm about 100% sure that I spelled that word wrong. == ) stop him from leaving, and darted out of the front door - being careful not to slam it - and ran across the deserted street to the whispering boys.
Kai couldn't help but stop on the other side of the street and breathe in the fresh air. He hadn't been outside in two months, and had forgotten how fresh and clean the beautiful air was.
The boy who had been yelling to Kai approached him, his dark brown eyes checking Kai out. "So.....whadya want? Are ya gonna help us beat up this brat?" The boy gestured to the chibi - who Kai noticed - hadn't moved an inch.
The boy had messy dark brown hair and dirty clothing - which was how almost all of the boys looked - and after Kai asked, learned that his name was Carl.
Kai bit his lip. "Well....." He tried to think of how to get the chibi away from these boys.
Carl glanced at the chibi, who had started to stir. "Just a minute." He turned away from Kai and walked over to the chibi, who opened his large eyes and looked up at Carl fearfully.
"No hit...." The small chibi whimpered in a voice that made Kai almost melt away - but Carl paid no attention to the child's plea.
Smirking, Carl proceeded to kick the chibi roughly, making the child scream in pain and curl up, trying to shield himseld from Carl's kicks unsuccesfully. Kai saw blood starting to leak from his head and stepped forward, teeth gritted in anger.
"Stop!" Kai yelled, and surprisingly, Carl did. "What?" He asked, an eyebrow raised. "You wanna kick 'im too?"
Kai shook his head, wondering if he did look like someone who would kick a chibi. "No.....look, you guys have already done all of the stuff that you can do...but I can get him mentally and physically tortured for you." He looked up, a forced grin on his face.
A smile spread across Carl's features. "Really? You would?"
Kai nodded, feeling rather sick at the way that all of the boys were smiling. They would actually like him to take the chibi and have the small child tortured.
Carl looked at the others. "Whadya say, mates? Do ya all think that we should give the brat to 'im and get the brat tortured?"
There was a loud roar of approval from the boys, and they started to stamp their feet and cheer loudly. Kai glanced around nervously, afraid that someone might come and see. Or even worse, his grandfather or a servant would look out of one of the windows and spot him.
Carl picked up the bawling chibi and flung him at Kai's feet. The small child began to cry even louder as he hit the ground, which only made the boys laugh more.
"Hey, where are you gonna get 'im tortured?" One of the boys asked. Kai picked up the child and slung him over his shoulder as to not make the gang suspicious.
"Er...an abbey in Russia." Kai replied. He had been intending to say that from the start - no doubt Boris would love to have a small child to beat.
The boys glanced at one another. Obviously they hadn't been expecting Kai to say an abbey.
Carl shrugged, not suspicious of Kai's odd answer. "Well, just make sure that they give 'im EXTRA SPECIAL treatment." Carl's eyes glittered evilly and he began to laugh.
The rest of the boys joined in after a few seconds. Kai tried to laugh too, but could only manage sort of a hoarse strangled noise.
The small chibi screamed at the top of his lungs and hit Kai's shoulder and back with his tiny fists. "HEWP!!!!" He screamed. "HEWP!!!!" Kai's heart ached as he watched the crying child, but he had to do this.
"Well....it's been nice seeing you guys, but I have to get back to my house to ship....this BRAT off." Kai made a fake glare at the chibi, who looked like he was crying so hard it was becoming difficult for him to breathe.
All the more reason to get back to the house quicker. Kai waved farewell to the laughing and cheering boys, then sprinted back to his house as fast as his legs would carry him.
But when Kai reached his front door, he realized that the chibi was screaming so loudly that he would never be able to smuggle him in. Checking back to make sure the boys were gone - which they were - Kai grabbed an unused garbage bag that was lying beside the front steps and stuffed the screaming chibi inside of it.
The small child hit the bag with his tiny fists and feet, but his efforts were in vain and soon he curled up into a ball, crying. After he stopped yelling, Kai quickly dashed inside and took the steps three at a time as he ran up to his room.
As soon as he was safely inside, Kai locked the door - and being careful not to step on any of the broken glass - made his way to his bed where he dumped the bag. The chibi didn't move.
Kai sank onto his warm bedsheets beside it, breathing a sigh of relief that his plan had worked. He had managed to get the chibi away safely.
Kai glanced at the garbage bag. Muffled cries were coming out of it. He usually had no compassion whatsoever for bratty children, but he felt that he just had to help this one.
As Kai continued to stare at the bag, he realized that he really hadn't seen the child yet. Reaching into the bag, Kai fished around in it until his fingers touched soft skin and then hair.
Kai grabbed onto the hair, and not thinking that this might hurt, yanked on it as to pull the chibi out.
A loud scream of pain came from the bag, and then Kai made a cry of his own as teeth sank into his finger.
Yanking his hand out of the bag, Kai waved it around as to shake the child off, whose tiny teeth were sunk into his finger, going deeper and deeper with each passing second.
Even though the chibi's teeth weren't fully developed, they were still causing excruciating pain for poor Kai, who was still trying to get the chibi off.
Soon Kai realized that he only had one choice. Balling his free hand up into a fist, Kai brought it down as hard as he could onto the child's head.
Instantly, the chibi let go, fell on his bottom onto the hard wooden floor, blinked a few times, then began to bawl, holding his head with his small hands.
Kai instantly felt a wave of pity wash over him. He knew that he shouldn't have done that, and felt extremly guilty. Crouching down so he could properly see the chibi, Kai took one of the tiny hands in his own.
"I'm sorry....I didn't mean to hit you." Kai said in the gentlest voice that he could produce. But the crying child simply turned away, yanking his hand out of Kai's grip.
So poor, confused Kai had to sit on the floor, feeling extremly sorry for the chibi, until the child stopped crying and simply sat there, sniffling and rubbing his eyes.
Kai took one of the chibi's hands again and turned him around, as to see his face. But what Kai saw made him almost faint clean away.
The small chibi was incredibly adorable, with blue and grey spiked hair, large maroon chibi eyes which were now red and puffy from crying, two blue trianges on either side of his face, and baby soft flesh which was as pale as Kai's.
"Y-You...." Kai stuttered, staring incredously at the chibi. How could he look exactly like Kai? Something that Kai had heard about everyone having a twin in the world flashed through his mind, but was quickly pushed aside by many other thoughts.
"W-What's your name?" Kai asked, dreading the answer.
The small chibi sniffed, wiping away a tear that threatened to spill out. "I Kai. What you name?"
That did it. Kai dropped the child's hand, jumped up and backed away, white in fear, the blood completly drained from his face. "N-no....you can't be named Kai!" The Russian blader yelled in panic.
Small Kai tilted his head to the side, looking confused in a very cute way. "But I Kai. Me be Kai." He spoke slowly, as if Kai was a toddler who couldn't seem to understand that one plus one equals two. ( Mheh heh....I love that. )
Kai slowly approached the small boy, sitting down in front of him. "Well....I'm Kai too." He said, still nervous.
The chibi clapped his tiny hands, squealing happily. "We be Kai!!! KaiKaiKaiKaiKAAAAI!!!" He shrieked in delight, as if he couldn't believe that Kai had the same name as him.
Somehow, Kai couldn't share the child's enthusiasm. "Um....is it alright if I just call you 'Small Kai'?" He asked without meaning to.
The chibi wrinkled his tiny nose. "No like. Kai want be 'Chibi Kai.' "
"Fine then. You're Chibi Kai." Kai sighed. He personally liked 'Small Kai' better....but whatever.
Chibi Kai laughed happily as he clapped his hands again, then stopped and blinked up at Kai. Kai raised an eyebrow.
He should have seen it coming. Chibi Kai jumped onto Kai, knocking the Bladebreaker's team captain over out of sheer surprise, squealing at the top of his lungs.
"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chibi Kai shrieked, which made Kai wonder if perhaps he had eaten some sugar, like Max was prone to doing at least seven times a day.
"Yeah....I'm Kai. That's great." Kai replied quickly, heaving the laughing chibi off of him with some difficulty and sitting up.
But no sooner then he fell off of Kai, Chibi Kai jumped back on, giggling hysterically. Kai groaned as he was knocked over again. Just great.
"But how can we both be named Kai?" Kai wondered aloud.
Chibi Kai stopped giggling and looked at Kai seriously. " 'cause me be chibi self of Kai!"
Without properly explaining what that meant, the chibi jumped off of Kai and ran to the bed, trying to scale the bedsheets.
Kai sat up, now extremly confused. "How can you be my chibi self? If you were, you wouldn't be laughing and playing! My childhood was hell!" Kai yelled as he strained to block out some of his chibi memories that he actually could remember.
Chibi Kai decided not to answer this question and instead, as he tried to climb up the sheets, began to sing; "Hellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhellhell...."
The child looked over his shoulder at Kai. "What mean hell Kai?"
"Nevermind! Don't say that word!" Kai said quickly, trying to stop Chibi Kai from saying 'hell' anymore.
Surprsingly, the chibi did as he was told and tried to climb the sheets once more, but slipped down onto his bottom and began to cry out of pure frusteration.
Quick as a flash, Kai had scooped Chibi Kai up and placed him on the bed, not wanting him to cry again. Chibi Kai giggled as he crawled across the bed and over to the window.
The chibi peeped over the windowsill, and drew in a breath as a pompous fat lady strode by with her posh poodle. ( I love that! Posh poodle, posh poodle.... )
"DOO-DOO HEAD!!!!" Chibi Kai screamed at the top of his lungs, and then ducked back down, giggling.
Kai opened his mouth to yell at Chibi Kai when an idnigant scream shattered his eardrums.
"HOW DARE YOU!!! YOUNG MAN, YOU SHOULD WASH OUT YOUR MOUTH WITH SOAP! WHO IS YOUR MOTHER? DOES SHE KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAYING WORDS LIKE THAT? IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD -"
But Kai never heard what she would do if she were him, because Kai slammed the window shut at that point and dragged Chibi Kai away from the windowsill and sat with him on the floor.
"Chibi Kai...." Kai started, his voice low and menancing.
Chibi Kai stopped laughing and looked up at an extremly furious Kai. In the blink of an eye, his adorable large maroon chibi eyes were brimming with tears and he began to cry, hugging his knees to his chest.
"Kai sowwy!" The chibi wailed. "No hit! No hit!"
Kai blinked in surprise, and his menancing look vanished. He had made him cry! "Augh! Don't cry!" Kai shouted in panic, grabbing Chibi Kai and holding him tightly to his chest, rubbing circles on the baby soft flesh.
Chibi Kai soon stopped crying, and the next time that Kai looked at him, the child had fallen asleep. Kai couldn't help but smile. He really was adorable.
Tickling the chibi's stomach, Kai was pleased to see Chibi Kai wiggle around in his sleep, laughing silently. But as Kai looked down a bit further....
Instantly, Kai pressed the child to his stomach again, crimson eyes wide, having seen something that he didn't exactly want to see. Ever.
Only now, Kai noticed that Chibi Kai wasn't wearing anything. So, placing the child on the bed - where Chibi Kai began to hug Kai's pillow - Kai walked downstairs and finding one of the maids, ordered her to go down to the mall and buy some chibi clothes, diapers, toys and anything else that she thought a chibi might need.
"But Master Kai, why-" The woman began to ask, but was cut off when Kai pressed an enormous amount of money into her hands. "Don't ask. Just do." Kai growled in his regualar, cold voice.
The maid nodded and hurried off to change out of her work outfit. Kai smirked as he counted the money that he still had left. It wasn't his, after all....
Going back upstairs, Kai couldn't help but smile at the way that Chibi Kai was snuggling into the soft pillow. Kai suddenly had an urge to pick Chibi Kai up and hug him as tightly as he could, but resisted the urge and instead sat down at his computer chair and surfed the web. ( how else would Kai be able to get into those chatrooms and laugh at fangirl's usernames? )
After about an hour and a half, Kai heard the front door open. Bounding downstairs, Kai quickly grabbed the massive amount of packages and, whispering quickly to the maid not to breathe a word of this to anyone, ran back upstairs, the packages tucked under his arms.
Slamming and locking the door behind him, Kai dumped all of the parcels onto the floor and began to take the things out of their bags, checking them out before placing them all in a pile.
Chibi Kai was woken by the sound of the door slamming, and sat up, rubbing sleep out of his eyes with his tiny fists. He looked at Kai and smiled, but then his attention turned to the large pile of clothes, diapers, toys and plushies.
The small chibi's eyes widened in shock. Could all of this be for him? But before his mind had a chance to answer, Chibi Kai had leapt off of the bed and flung himself onto the neatly stacked pile, rolling around in the clothes and becoming tangled up, throwing the plushies, plastic cars and books everywhere, and ripping open the diaper packages.
Kai was caught by surprise, and watched, dumbfounded, as Chibi Kai ransacked everything, throwing and kicking things, trying to eat a dark blue long-sleeved shirt and putting socks on his ears.
But as soon as Kai's brain properly registered what Chibi Kai was doing, Kai had grabbed the first part of Chibi Kai that he could reach and was now holding the laughing chibi by the ankle, dangling him in mid-air.
"Hey, you little brat!" Kai hissed viciously. "What in the name of hell do you think you're doing?"
Chibi Kai blinked, then began to sing loudly. "Hellhellhellhellhellhellhellhell....."
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP SAYING THAT WORD!!!" Kai roared, shaking Chibi Kai roughly. The small chibi shrieked as he was swung from side to side, not enjoying this experience at all.
"HEWP!!! HEWP!!!" Chibi Kai screamed as Kai continued to shake him. "No wike!! ( like ) NO WIKE!!!"
But Kai didn't stop shaking the child until Chibi Kai had promised ( through sobs ) that he would never do this again. Kai then placed Chibi Kai on the bed - and fighting to control his temper - began to arrange everything again.
Chibi Kai sniffled as he watched Kai stack everything up again, a small voice his chibi mind telling him to do it again. "No." Chibi Kai whispered to the little voice. "Me tell Kai me neva do 'gain."
Kai raised an eyebrow as he heard Chibi Kai whisper to no one in particular, but decided not to ask in case bringing up the subject would make Chibi Kai more upset then he already was.
Chibi Kai didn't say a word as Kai put his diaper, clothes and shoes on him, but only made a small noise of discomfort when some of his hair got tangled in the comb that Kai was trying to brush his hair with.
Soon, Chibi Kai was perfectly happy and was playing with a Kai plushie that the maid had bought. ( Kai would never know, but the maid had chosen the Kai plushie because she thought that it would suit Kai's large ego. )
Kai was a bit disappointed that Chibi Kai wasn't playing with the Rei plushie that had also been bought. Kai, however, was examining it, and had once tried to see if the clothes could be taken off - much to his disappointment, they were sewed on. ( Lol. Kai's a pervert! )
The maid had been sensible enough to buy a Tala plushie as well, but Kai had promptly chucked it out of the window as soon as he had seen it, not wanting to be reminded of Tala in any matter, shape or form, especially a plushie.
Chibi Kai had thrown a fit when he had learned that Kai had thrown his plushie out of the window, but had calmed down once Kai made a fake promise that he would buy him a new one.
Chibi Kai was dressed in the dark blue long-sleeved shirt that he had been trying to eat before, a pair of black jeans, a black jacket and red sneakers. He looked absolutely adorable, and Kai had once given in to the urge to hug him.
Kai watched the giggling chibi toss the Kai plushie around, a small smile on his face. Chibi Kai was making feelings emerge that Kai didn't even know that he posessed before.
Chibi Kai stopped throwing the plushie around and dug into one of his jean pockets, apparently searching for something. Kai raised an eyebrow. He didn't remember putting anything in the pockets....
Soon enough, Chibi Kai found what he was looking for. Holding it in his hand tightly, Chibi Kai toddled over to Kai and held up a crumpled scrap of paper. "Kai wead!! ( read )" He squealed.
Kai knew that there was nothing on the paper, but decided to play along anyway. Uncrumpling it, Kai examined the blank scrap of paper carefully. "Hmm....interesting. Very interesting." A small smirk flitted over his lips.
Chibi Kai frowned, hands on hips. "Stoopid. Wong ( wrong ) side."
Kai blinked and turned the paper over. Much to his surprise, there actually was writing on the other side of the paper. It was extremly small writing, but if he squinted, Kai could just make it out.
"2384 Higurashi House." Kai read, raising an eyebrow. He glanced at the grinning chibi. "Where did you get this? And what is 'Higurashi House'?"
( Yes, I know that in the first chapter, it was Hemmington House, not Higurashi House. But Higurashi definetely sounds Japanese, so I changed it. So sue me. == )
Chibi Kai giggled, his tiny hands clapped over his mouth. "Hig'rashi house in Japan. We go." He said, his voice slightly muffled.
Kai's eyebrow, if it was possible, raised even higher. "Why in the name of h-( Kai stopped himself from saying 'hell' as soon as he realized that it was coming out of his mouth ) h...heck would I just take off to Japan?"
Chibi Kai didn't answer and began to push the unused clothes on the bed into a messy pile. "Pack cwothes and toys and pwushie. We go to Japan."
Kai opened his mouth to say something else, but closed it and glanced back at the paper. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all.....
"But you're going to need a passport." Kai told the excited chibi. In fact, Kai didn't even think that HE had a passport.
Chibi Kai shook his head. "No need passport. We go."
Kai looked at the paper again, then crumpled it up and stuffed it in his jean pocket. Why not? It's not like he exactly wanted to stay here.
As soon as Kai told Chibi Kai that they were going, the chibi began shrieking in delight and jumped off of the bed, then began to roll around on the floor, giggling.
Kai watched the chibi roll with a large smile. He would look like a complete idiot trying to get to Japan without a passport, but it would be fun trying.
In a matter of minutes, Kai had packed everything that he needed into two suitcases, and there was another suitcase for Chibi Kai. Kai had already called a taxi, and had ordered the driver to pick him up at the back of the house, so no one would notice.
Chibi Kai was holding his Kai and Rei plushies, squishing them tightly together. Kai blushed a light shade of pink and looked away when he realized that the lips of both plushies were also being squished together.
Kai placed Chibi Kai on top of one of the suitcases and wheeled it out of the room, trying to shush the squealing chibi. Chibi Kai loved being on top of the suitcase, and simply would not stay quiet.
Kai was quite suprised that no one heard Chibi Kai, who was making enough noise to wake people in China. But the Russian made no objection as he wheeled the suitcases downstairs and out of the door.
It was starting to drizzle a bit, and Chibi Kai clung onto Kai's shirt, trying to shield himself from the rain. Rain drizzled down Kai's face, getting in his eyes and going down his shirt. ( Most fangirls would make no objection to this, though. The sight of Kai completly soaked would probably make the normal fangirl foam at the mouth and faint. )
It was a few minutes before the taxi came, and Chibi Kai passed the time by making the Kai and Rei plushies scurry about on the tops of the suitcases, trying to hide from the rain.
When the yellow and black car pulled up to the sidewalk, splashing dirty water onto the sidewalk - it was pouring buckets by now - Chibi Kai's large maroon chibi eyes just about popped out of his head.
The chibi ran up to the car and began jumping up and down in front of it, waving his Kai and Rei plushies around.
"Car!! Car!! CARCARCARCARCARCARCAR!!!!" Chibi Kai screamed, about going ballistic. Kai had to practically get the child in a headlock to get him to stop yelling.
The taxi driver stopped halfway out of the car, his eyes wide and fearful at the sight of the screaming chibi. But when Kai grabbed him and got Chibi Kai to shut up, the driver finally managed to muster up the courage and get their suitcases, even though he looked very much like he would like nothing better then to just jump in his car and drive away.
Soon enough, the suitcases were in the trunk and Chibi Kai was sitting in the back, though if Kai and the driver had their ways, he would be in the trunk as well. The small chibi had become hungry and was yelling for food.
"FOOD! FOOD! KAI WANT FOOD!" Chibi Kai screamed at the top of his lungs, kicking his tiny feet angrily and pulling at the seatbelt, as if he wanted to jump out of his restraint and maul the driver and Kai in search for food.
Kai looked pleadingly at the taxi driver. "Do you have ANY food?"
The driver - if his name tag was correct, his name was Robert - shook his brown-haired head. "No. If I had anything, I would have given something to the brat long ago." When he said the word 'brat', Robert shot a deathly glare at Chibi Kai.
Kai sighed in despair, then noticed something sticking out of the pocket of Robert's pants. It looked suspiciously like a packet of gum.
"What is that?" Kai asked, pointing to the packet.
Robert glanced at it, and his dark green eyes lit up. "Ah! I forgot that was in there!" He drew it out of his pocket and inspected it closely. "Yep, this is it. I forgot that I put a packet of gum in there this morning -"
But Kai didn't give him a chance to answer, as he yanked the gum from Robert's hands, ripped it open, drew out a small pink stick of gum, undid his seatbelt, scrambled over to Chibi Kai and stuffed the gum into his mouth.
Instantly, the chibi stopped screaming and began to chew the gum happily. Kai gave an audible sigh of relief as silence overwhelmed the taxi, and he slipped back into his seat. The traffic then started ( it had been a red light ) and they zipped off.
Kai glanced back at Chibi Kai, half -expecting him to spit out the gum and start screaming again, but to immense relief, Chibi Kai was fast asleep, the gum nowhere in sight. Kai had a nasty feeling that the chibi had swallowed it.
The child's chest rose up and down slowly as he took slow, deep breaths. Kai couldn't help but smile. He looked so cute. The Rei plushie dangled from Chibi Kai's tiny hand, and as the taxi gave a violent lurch as Robert stopped abruptly to avoid crashing into the back of a grocery truck that had suddenly swerved in front of him, the plushie fell and lay face down on the car floor.
Kai looked at the sheets of rain pouring down the windows of the taxi. As dismal as this night might be....it was also wonderful.
Wonderful in a sick, twisted, masochistic sort of way.

. : I give you a Chibi Rei plushie for being the third person to review and for being the first person to vote for Rei and Chibi Rei!
Katie: Of course he is. He IS the chibi side of Tala, after all. It's only normal that he should be adorable.
Shadows of Grey: I like how you think. Maybe I will make it a threesome....but I don't know yet.
Driger&Dragoon: U Please do not hurt the actors, or else Beyblade will sue. Thanks for the review!
beseba: Solved that problem, didn't I? And sorry once again for the late review....
Weeping-Tenshi: Soon? Um...yeah. Sorry.
kawaii-howie: You people must not know me well. In order for good chapters to be produced, I must take time in writing them. Thanks for the review, though.
KuronekoHikage: The Bladebreakers? I don't even think that I'm really going to have anyone besides Kai, Tala and Rei from the Beyblade series. Or maybe I'll put in Mao as her usual bitchy self.
TigerRain a.k.a Tara: Thank you! I will definetly use that idea in the next chapter. It's a great idea!!!!
Fire4Ice: No. My chibi. And please do not hurt the chibis. . Thanks for the review.
talasgirl: Thanks for the review....but I don't think much of your name. . In case it has not been painfully obvious, Tala belongs to me in every shape, matter or chibi form.
Game-kid17: I sense an obsessed Kai fan....and why doesn't anyone like Tala/Rei? Thanks for the review, though.
Namster: My name isn't Bianca......but thank you anyway. And sorry, I don't like Hiromi that much.... ....or if you want me to be truthful, she's a stuck-up little bitch, and I think that most of the beyblade-watching audience would agree with me on that one.
DemolitonGirl: Yes, well, most of the girls did deserve the meanness that Tala dished out. . And yes, Tala will be a bit nice in this story, even though that is quite unlike him.
BloodMistress: Whoopee!!! I have been added to something!!!! Thank you!!!
Quest of the Dragon: ....you people are REALLY obsessed with threesomes. And now you've got me hooked. I might make it a threesome. That's all I can say for now.
Werewolf of Fire: REI IS NOT EVIL!!!! Well, in my meaningless opinion, anyway. But now I am quite sure that no one likes the pairing Tala/Rei.
KitsuneCrystalQueen: Thank you for that kind comment! And I shall check out your stories when I am finished my homework.
devilburns: Please....PLEASE do not mention the word 'soon' anymore. I can't do anything 'soon'. 'Sometime' works better for me.
crazy nek0-JIN: . Lol...thank you. Ooh....no bad things. I feel special.
Yuriy: Woah....22 reviews in the first chapter of this story. I wonder how many reviews I'll have when I complete this story.

Ozuma: Hear, hear!
Yuriy: Don't mind them. They're only my messed-up muses. And review or else you'll never see Chibi Rei!
