"KAI!" The brown haired teacher dropped a glass test tube.

"Hey Hilary."

"Mrs. Granger! You know this man?" screamed the outraged principal.

"Mrs. Reki! Yes! This is Kai Hiwatari. He disappeared after the Bladebreaker's Third World

Championship."

"I didn't exactly disappear.. I was around."

"Around?! Around?! Right after our last battle you vanished! Into thin air! Like that!" said Hilary,

snapping her fingers. "Anyways, that's not why you're here."

"And you called me here, why?"

"Ka.. I mean Mr. Hiwatari, It's a grade problem. They're all dramatically low, and he may not pass

if we don't act quick."

"Uh huh."

"That's all you to say? Do you care that his grades are low?"

"Yea, but knowing Kyo, after this, he'll do what he has to do."

"We've talked to him before. It hasn't changed a bit," said the prinicipal.

"If he doesn't start getting smart now, he'll fail," said Mrs. Granger.

"I'm quite aware of that."

"Then why haven't you done anything to stop it?"

"It's not effecting me.. He'll learn," said Kai. He removed Kyo's headphones from his ears and but

it on his neck. He reached into his backpack and pressed the stop button, and disconnected the

head phones.

"Mr. Hiwatari, another problem, this music thing."

"That's a problem."

"Yes, well, we suggest..."

"You suggest nothing. I'll hand it."

"Hn."

"I can see that he's Kai's son," mumbled Mrs. Granger. Kai got up from his chair. Kyo followed.

"Mr. Hiwatari! We are not done."

"As far as I'm concerned, we're done."

"Mr. Hiwatari! I know that you are capable of controlling your own son, but we can't. You may

need some help..."

"Don't say anymore, Mr. Reki. Mr. Hiwatari won't need any help, never mind ask for it."

"Come on, Kyo."

Being accompanied to the front door was a silent Hilary. Matt and his gang were waiting for

Kyo.

"We were waiting Kyo. Let's finish what we started."

"Matt! What are you still doing here!" said Hilary.

"Scared of me Kyo?" Kyo walked down the stairs to meet face to face with Matt.

"Kai, you have to stop him, he'll get hurt and expelled!"

"Not the first time it happened."

"What?"

"Kyo's been expelled before. I think if he gets expelled here, it will make 3."

"THREE!"

"I could be wrong."

"Kai! Come on! You've got to stop him."

"No can do."

"KAI!"

"What I can do is help him."

"Like how?"

"Give him a little power boast, sort of make things easy."

"What?!"

"Oh Dranzer," said Kai, casually. Something in Kyo's pocket glowed and a giant red phoenix

appeared behind him.

"It's Dranzer! But how are you able to call it and protect Kyo."

"Dranzer's the reason Kyo's alive. He's been in a lot of death threatening situations."

"Not as many as you though."

"Actually..."

"WHAT!"

Matt's gang ran as fast as they could away from Dranzer as possible. "Next time Hiwatari."

"Since when were you guys on a last name basis?" asked Kai, as Kyo ran over to him.

"Since when were we on a first name basis. When were we on a name basis anyways... I think he

used to call me 'Hey You' before the Sakura incident."

"Sakura incident?" asked Hilary.

"Sakura Starling, she asked me out and I turned her down. Happens every school I go to. And

then some guy comes along and tries to beat me up."

"We better get going." Kyo began to walk home. "Hilary, tell Tyson to call me later."

Hilary nodded. "Wait, how did you know I was married to Tyson!!"

"See ya."

"Dad."

Kai turned into Kyo's room and sat at the end of the bed. Kyo didn't look very good. He had his

head down with darkened his eyes. Kai could see when he has them closed or opened.

"Dad, I really don't feel good."

"In which way?" Kyo rested his head on Kai's shoulder and Kai could feel the heat. "You've got a

fever, probably because, you were fighting with Dranzer today. Bed." Kyo groaned. Kyo lay on

his stomach. Kai remained silent knowing if he left, Kyo wouldn't sleep.

"I can't sleep."

"What do you want me to do?! Read you bedtime story!"

"There's no good books around

anymore."

"How would you know? You can barely read."

"Whatever, you know my reading mark is always really high."

"It's the only subject you consider paying attention to."

"It's still no fun."

"Kyo, get to sleep." Kyo rolled onto his back.

"If you're going to be there, you might as well sleep too. I'm not going anywhere." Kai lay down

beside Kyo. Kyo fell asleep a few minutes later. Tori walked in with Tyson and Hilary. Tori

smiled. Kyo wasn't the only one asleep.

"Mrs. Granger?"

"Chris!" Chris stood between his room and Kyo's.

"Whatcha doin' here?!" said Chris, cheerfully.

"I should ask you the same thing," said Hilary, with her arms on her hips.

"What do you mean what is he doing here! He basically lives here!"

"I'm just the other kid, that never goes home."

"If you think that's weird, take a look at Kai. He's actually sleeping," pointed out Tyson.

"They looks so peaceful. Especially Kyo. I've never seen his look so relaxed. He always so tense

and angry."

"Yes, well, they both are handfuls, glad I don't live here."

"You don't live here?" said Tyson.

"Nope. I'm just visiting for Christmas. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"We better get going."

"I can't find my jacket anywhere. I left it on the coat rack and now it's not here."

"Leaving so soon? You left your jacket up here in Kyo's room." Kai stood against the railings

with Kyo leaning against him.

"Kyo! Are you alright?" asked Hilary. Kyo groaned to himself.

"Kai, why did you call us here?"

"They're after him."

"Whose they?"

"Think."

"BIOVOLT IS AFTER KYO!"

Kai nodded. "He's not feeling too well. This is when they'll strike."

"How would they know?" asked Hilary.

"Look out for a girl with red long hair by the name of Karrie Valcolv. She's about Trini's age,"

said Kyo.

"Who's Trini?" asked Tyson.

"My daughter."

"YOU HAVE TWO!" said Tyson and Hilary.

"Yea, one girl, one boy. I thought you two knew that." They both shook their heads.

"Trinity is never around anymore though. She goes to an academy across the country," said Tori.

"Trinity, that a nice name," said Hilary.

"Anyways, Kali already knows. She been talking with her every now and then," said Kyo.

"So, you let our daughter talk to this person and you're not!" said Tyson.

"It's more natural. Kali's a girl, Karrie's a girl!"

"Who is this Karrie girl anyways? Who are her parents?" asked Tyson.

"Karrie is Tala's girl." Tyson's jaw dropped.

"There's a parent's night coming up soon. I think it's next week. All parents must attend."

"He'll be there."

"All the other Bladebreakers won't though. Kyo is the youngest out of all the Breaker's kids so

far. The others are all almost in their twenties. Kind of makes me feel really old," said Hilary.

"Well, it's late. I'll talk to you later."

"This is Josh. Would you like to say a few words about yourself?" said Mrs. Granger.

"No."

"Alright then. Please take a seat beside Kali for now." Kyo watched as Josh walked past him. Josh

was a little taller than Kyo, he was probably about 6'6. Josh had brown hair with a hint of blue. He

wore a black t-shirt that said 'M.A.D.E.' and black cargo pants.

"Hey Kyo!" Kyo turned to his side where Chris was signaling him. "That Josh kid looks so

familiar. Like I think I've seen him before."

"I sense something suspicious on him."

"Sense something? Maybe one of Dranzer's buddies." Kyo thought about it through class.

"I don't know Chris. I know the owners of Dranzer's buddies."

"Do you know all of them?" asked Chris.

"Except one. My dad says I don't want to know him."

"Kyo! That's the kid, Josh! The blue haired kid with the blonde."

"Just what we need."

"You're Hiwatari? You look nothing like one!"

"What?"

"You look nothing like Mister Voltaire."

"Hey Josh! You know something about him!" asked Matt.

Josh boxed Kyo in the corner. "I predict that you'll be asked about your family next period. I'll

talk to you later. Bye Dranzer."

"How do you..."

Josh left.

"What happened Kyo?" asked Chris.

"Chris, he knows about Dranzer."

"How would he know about Dranzer? Do you know if he knows about Dragoon? What about

Draciel and Driger? Where did he come from? Who are his parents?" asked Kali.

"For the last time, I don't know!" said Kyo taking out his fam. ed. book from his locker.

"Today class, we'll be talking about your families and you shall be paired for a married project.

We'll start off with Kyo at the front of the room beside me here. Followed by Josh, Chris and so

on. Kyo."

"I'd rather not."

"Well I didn't asked for your say."

"I don't want to, and I won't."

"Kyo, you have too. So please stop wasting class time and enlighten us." Kyo could hear Matt

and his pal snickering in the back.

"Fine. Where shall I start?" asked Kyo, mischievously, yet politely.

"How many people are in your family?"

"Two." The class laughed. They couldn't tell that Kyo was serious.

"I think you misunderstood me. How many people in your family that you know of, including

aunts, uncles, and cousins."

"Two." The class laughed again.

"If you won't tell me, then I'll get it out of Chris." She turned to Chris.

"Umm... I basically live at his house so it's safe to say that he only has two. That would be his

sister, Trinity, and Mr. Hiwatari. There are other uncles and aunts, but their not related by blood."

"What about your mom?"

"She died after I was born and her family disappeared soon after," said Kyo, as if he said it one

hundred times.

"Josh. Please share," she said glaring at Kyo.

"You have more you know." Kyo heard Josh say as the bell rang.

"Class, the partners are posted on the door. I have already handed out the sheets and do what you

have to do for this week."

"Who'd you get stuck with?" asked Kyo, disgusted at his partner.

"I'm gay with Josh. You?" said Chris, disgusted also.

"Sakura Starling! Ack! This flippin' girl won't stop haunting me!!!"

"At least we get to bare with it together!"

"Puh!"

"Hey Chris!" Josh called him over. Chris came back quick.

"He wanted to know when and where. I told him tomorrow at your house."

"We've got one day to be single and one day to clean our rooms!"

"A marriage assignment?"

"Yea Dad. I'm not too fond of it either. Kali got it bad though. We all got it bad. I get stuck with

Sakura, Chris is gay with Josh, and Kali's with Matt."

"Matt? The Matt that's been stalking you? And who's Josh?" asked his father raising an eyebrow.

"Yea. That Matt. Josh is a new kid who just came today. His full name is Josh Ice."

"Ice?"

"Yea. I think I've seen him somewhere, and so has Chris. You might not believe this, Dad. But

he's knows." Kai glared at Kyo who had his head down.

"What does he know about?"

"Dad, I think he knows everything about your past." Kai was shocked, but didn't show it. "He's

coming over tomorrow. For the marriage assignment."

"Day over, off to Kyo's I guess," said Josh rubbing his aching head.

"I've got a headache too," said Kali. Kyo put an arm around her and hugged her gently.

"You going over to Matt's?" asked Kyo.

"Kyo save me!"

"Hey Girlie! You coming!"

"Bye Kyo! I'll call you later. Alright?"

The three boys and Sakura walked in silently. Kai not noticing until he heard them rush up the

stairs.

Dinner came and Kai kept an eye of Josh and the other on Sakura. Kai tried to figure out which

one of abbey members did he look like. He looked like none of them.

"I have such a headache." Kyo flopped onto his father who was sitting peacefully in an armchair.

"I had to deal with you all. I don't know why you're complaining." Kai held the wine glass he had

to Kyo who took a sip.

"The outside world doesn't matter, as Kai Hiwatari feds his baby alone. Mr. Voltaire was right.

Just as the stories go, I suppose."

"I see you have met my grandfather, Josh. It was like him to tell awkward stories."

"You're telling me! I don't understand half of them!"

"How do you know Voltaire, Josh?"

"He's like my father. He takes care of me."

"Who are your parents?"

"Good question. I don't know. As long as I can remember my guardian is Mr. Voltaire."

Kai looked at Kyo who was a little clueless.

"Kyo, get to bed. Josh, stay here." Kyo left.

"I'm guessing you've been to abbey, Josh. How much exactly did Voltaire tell you?"

"I know from when were you three."

"Three? That's about the time of the surge."

"Yea. That's right. When Black Dranzer happened. I've heard of the Bladebreakers, and how

you've lost Dranzer a few times too."

"Do you have a g-beast?"

"Yea. Kessia. Does Kyo know how to use swords?"

"Yea, why?" Josh ran upstairs. Kai figured he wanted to fight.

"Kyo!" Josh ran into Kyo's room. "How would you like to duel with me?"

"Okay! I've got to get changed out of these clothes though."

Kyo met Josh in his practice room. Sakura, Chris, and Kai sat on the floor against the wall.

"We'll duel with the conversion rules." Kyo pressed a button. "Listen to the count."

"Dizzy uploaded. Conversion Swordplay. Beginning in ten seconds."

"Cool. Never seen something like that before."

"How come they don't have swords yet?" asked Sakura.

"Watch and see."

"Three, Two, One! Start!"

"Summoning! Kyolightra!" said Kyo. A silver sword appeared. On the blade said 'Kyolightra'. At

the end of the sword was a chain with a crown key chain that said 'Kyo'.

"Impressive! Summoning! Kessiablade!" Josh's blade was blue silver. The end of the sword was a

flaming red.

"Kessiablade vs. Kyolightra. Next conversion in five minutes." Kyo held the sword with two

hands at one side so the blade was behind him. Josh had over his shoulder. Kyo ran towards Josh

and swung the sword at him.

Josh blocked it, but Kyo was much stronger Josh, which sent Josh flying to the wall.

"Conversion!"

"Kyolightra! Retire! Kaidarkra!" Kyolightra disintegrated, and a blood red blade, with a black end

appeared. On the blade said 'Kaidarkra' and at the bottom was a black chain hanging and there

was a black crown with blood red writing 'Kai'.

"Using Daddy's sword, Kyo? KessiabladeUG!" Kessiablade turned all blue. You could see what

looked like water inside the blade and outside was a funny blue mist.

"KessiabladeUG vs. Kaidarkra. Conversion in five minutes."
