Alright, ppl me back! ^^ GOMEN EVERYONE!!!! Everyone can hit me as much as they want.^^;; I've left this story to be buried for two months. Bad me! I've been very busy with my new job, and school tests,etc. They also gave me tons of work during vacation. T_T My school is just too harsh. But I'm back! ^^ Now to get these chapters going! Hee hee.^^ We left off with Kai meeting a new girl, who knows about his parents. Why is this? Like I said there was a clue in the chapter. If you found it good work! ^^ Because this is a lil shocker if no one knows. Now onward! ^^

Replies to R&R's: 1) I really don't know how someone can take away a title.^^;; I thought since Voltaire has friends in high places they could say to the BB that Kai doesn't want to be champion anymore, or something like that.^^;; 2)Ppl are getting warm with the new girl. Lol. Some have the right way on clues 3)Kay, believe it or not this story won't become finished for quite a while.^^;; We're not even half way through it. Hiro has several plans to take care of, Kai needs to find out about his past, Voltaire's punishment for Hiro comes up, the mysterious man is introduced, the music watch, etc. There's so much to be answered, that I feel I made this into a detective series, instead of a family crisis. @.@ But I do hope to update more now. Hopefully. -_-;; I have work approaching the last week of Jan. Other than that enjoy the chapter.^_^ ~*Mimi*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"It's meaning...is death..," said the girl.
Letting the words sink into Kai's confused head, she spun around to leave the dance floor. His eyes were shocked from horror thinking about the girl. Was this another sick joke? Who was she? Could it be? That she sided with Hiro? Where was that bastard anyways? Kai spun around several times to glance about. There was no sign of another person the same age as him. Forgetting about the boy, he ran after the girl. The route lead to a dark room with the dim candles as the source of light. As soon as the blader walked in the doors behind him shutted with a loud bang.
"So good of you to come, Kai Hiwatari...," a voice echoed.
"Who's there?" he shouted while grinding his teeth in rage.
Holding a candle stick was the girl dancer who grinned. This time her voice faded to a darker tone.
"Don't tell me, you don't recognize me. I'm ashamed. All of this time we've been together...and you don't remember. You're rich, but have a poor brain."
"Did you come here to mock me? Or to tell me the truth?" he stood calmly trying to avoid any harsh actions he'd regret.
"I won't tell you the truth just yet. I'm having too much fun. Now...Mr. Hiwatari...if you don't remember me, do you remember this?"
The girl swiftly walked to his side, grabbed his tie to pull the two closer, then placed her lips close to his ear.
"Do you fear me?" she smirked.
A terrible wave of shock ran through his veins, like ice. It couldn't be...Was this girl who he thought it was? Could it be...?
"You seem surprised, Mr. Hiwatari," she tugged tighter on his tie, until his arms threw her off.
"Get away from me!" he answered with narrow eyes," I know who you are! Hiro!"
A small giggle turn into a dark laugh when the girl heard his answer. This time her pretty eyes turned back into a dark shade of red, as her voice drop lower than her darker tone before. It wasn't until she opened her mouth again, when Hiro's voice came out.
"It took you a while, yet you still answered correctly. I thought this new look would surprise you. Have you drop your guard during the party, then attack head on. Or so that was my plan. How could a boy resist an innocent and beautiful girl? I was mistakened. The great champion will allow himself to win a match, but not someone's heart. I like that. So cold- hearted." replied Hiro who riped the mask, wig, and dress off him. There stood the insane criminal with a full black outfit on.
Taking a step closer to him, Kai said in a calm voice," Get out. My grandfather may value your loyalty as his lapdog, but I won't allow you to be seen before my eyes."
"That's funny. I didn't think I asked for your permission to enter your house," simply said his enemy.
"Stop acting like an asshole..."
"Oh, I see. Someone's upset, because I was invited as a guest. Should I fear the high and mighty Kai? The one who only uses a beyblade as his weapon?" snickered Hiro.
Rushing over to his side, he grabbed his neck," Watch what you say, bastard."
"I'd also watch what you say, Mr. Hiwatari..," called out another voice from behind. It was unfamiliar. A deep voice and older.
Turning around to see who it was, Kai saw a man dressed in a tuxedo for the celebration. The light in the candle room was too light to see his face under the dark shadows. What was visible were his clothes and his voice that seemed to echo across the empty room. Taking the spare time to draw action, Hiro pulled out his knife and slashed a vertical line up Kai's cheek. The grip holding his leather collar softened to release Hiro. With him free to move about the shadows with his weapon was dangerous. More like fatal. Here in the room stood his rival, a man he didn't know, and himself without a weapon to defend himself. Hearing wouldn't work in this room either. Every sound made created an echo that confused the source of the sound. Thinking over the bad situation, Kai turned to the door. Once turned around a hand grabbed on to his neck.
"Stay awhile, Kai...This party won't finish until the end ceremony. A sacrifice, which could be you," spoke the odd man who just entered.
"I've had my share of death threats from Hiro. No one is going to control my end except me..," spatted Kai in the man's face.
The grip around his neck tighted with him losing air every second. Along with a few drops of blood falling down his left cheek.
"Cocky, aren't we? I don't know which would give me more pleasure. Having you killed with my own hands, or in the hands of my son."
"Son?" questioned Kai.
"I am Hiro's father....Another assasin hired before by your grandfather, to kill you." a white grin reflected off the candle light. A smile similar to Hiro's. It really was his father.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- We end there! Hee hee.^^ Kai meets Hiro's father. Who was hired to kill Kai. Is it the truth? Does Voltaire also want to see Kai dead other than Hiro himself? Why is this family involved with Kai's life? How do they know his old past? More questions to be answered. @.@ As this fic moves along. ^^ Also did anyone think that girl was Hiro? Lol. The clue was Kai said he saw the same insane expression that he saw before he was about to get killed. Which was during Hiro and Kai's battle. Hope that explains it. Lol. I'll try and update the next chapter (10) up.^^ Until then be patient again. I'm trying my best to work this whole mess of my busy life out.^^;;
