Chapter Three.
Kai stepped through the door, mentally still cursing Bryan, and look at the room. It was small, with only a bed, a table and a chair in it. His small black suitcase was already on the bed. At the side of the table there was a door. Kai walked to it, and turned the wooden handle. The door swinged open to reveal a tiny bathroom with a sink, a cabinet and a shower in it.
/I am here again. What an idiot! Durak(1)! /
Flashback
Boris: You are back with us, Kai. But you will not be getting the Black Dranzer.
Kai: Like I expected to get it back.
Boris: You are very rude, Kai. I must warn you, not to be rude with me, or you will have to suffer the consequences.
Kai: Really?
Boris grabbed Kai by his scarf, and started to choke him. Then he said slowly:
Boris: Do not think you are in charge of running your life, Kai. It is me and your Grandfather who make all of the decisions for you. Not you yourself. The only control you have, is over Dranzer. That's all__
The man let the boy go, and pushed him into the doorway.
Boris: Now, I hope you understood me well. Let's go. Your team is waiting.
Back from the Flashback
/Oh, so I don't have control over anything????? I don't think so___/
Kai opened his suitcase and started to throw stuff out, in search for something. Finally he took out a small bag , and a toothbrush sticking out of it poked him in the stomach. Kai sweared, and threw the cursed toothbrush away. Then he reached inside the bag, and got a out a small two-bladed razor wrapped in yellow paper. Kai looked at it for some time, feeling it's sharpness with his fingers. After a few moments, the boy stated taking off his globes and when into the bathroom, taking care to shut the door behind him.
Half an hour later
Kai was brought back to the real world, when he heard someone knocking at the door very loudly. The boy quickly put his gloves back on, feeling the pain , and then ran out into the room, shutting the bathroom door behind him.
/Who the hell is knocking so loud? Boris? Haven't that bastard seen me enough for today? If it's Bryan, he isn't welcome either. But he probably wouldn't come back here, even to insult me_____/
Still wondering, Kai walked to the door, trying not to trip over all the stuff he left on the floor. The pounding on the door grew louder.
"I'm coming!!!!!!!", yelled Kai, very annoyed.
He reached the door, wondering if whoever-was-knocking's fists haven't been really hurt by the metal door. With that thought on his mind, he turned the handle.
Yuri was standing in front of him. Kai looked at the boy, and half-forgotten memories flashed through their minds.
Flashback
A small redhead boy was closely examining his blade. A shadow fell on it and he looked up to see a blue-haired boy of about five in front of him.
"Want a match?"
"Sure!!!!"
The blue-haired one took out his beyblade too, and they both clumsily launched it into the dish. The beyblades started to slowly spin, and then the redhead yelled
"Go, Wolbrog!". But his bit beast didn't listen to him, instead the disk had smashed into the blue-head's blade, and both flew out of the dish. The redhead ducked when the beyblade flew at him, but the other boy wasn't so quick. The beyblade hit him in the head, and he fell on the ground. The redhead ran over to him in a flash.
"Kai!!! Kai, are you okay?? Don't die, please!!! Kai?! Don't leave me alone!!!! Kai, are alive!?!? Kai, say something!!!!!!"
Kai opened his eyes
"What are you talking about, Yuri? I would never leave you_"
_____
Huge, white snowflakes were slowly falling into the Abbey yard. It was very late, but every window in Moscow seemed to light up. Two seven-year old boys were sitting in front of each other on a bed. They had put a clock in between them, and were both following the movement of the second hand.. It had reached twelve. That instant, a loud noise from the Red Square filled the room through the open window. The most important clock of Russia was ringing to announce the New Year. The boys heard people on the streets shouting.
"YEAH!!!!!", yelled the redhead.
"It's NEW YEAR!!!!!"
The other boy with blue hair reached under the pillow and pulled out a small box wrapped into old yellow paper.
"Yuri, I got you a present_"
The redhead took the box, quickly unwrapped the paper and opened it. There was some beyblade parts in it.
"Thank you Kai!!!!!!!" he yelled as he was giving the other boy a hug.
"Stttooopp it_ you arrre gggoing to chhhhokke meeeeeeeeeeeee__"
The red head let go of the boy, and got a small, brown bag out of his pocket.
"Here is something for you, Kai__"
Kai accepted it curiously, and opened it. There were some beyblade parts in it too.
"Thanks_"
The boys hugged each other.
A second later door swinged open, and a small boy with big nose and a another very large boy burst into the room.
"Kai, Yuri, let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a party in Ivan's room!"
"Wouldn't Boris be mad?"
"He wouldn't know!!!! He went into the town about an hour ago! I saw him! Come on, it's NEW YEAR!!!!"______
"Boris is going to kill me!"
"Why?"
"Guess who left that firework in his office?"
"WHAT?!?!? Yuri, YOU LEFT THAT FIRE WORK IN BORIS"S OFFICE?!?!?"
The redhead boy lowered his head.
"See, even you are mad. Think what Boris will say???"
Blue-haired boy of about nine hugged Yuri.
"No, I'm not mad! How could you even think that??? But Boris was pretty pissed off when he was here a few minutes before."
Sergei ran into the room, causing the boys in there to jump.
"Boris is coming!!!!!!!! He is really angry at whoever set that firework!"
Ivan rushed into the room following the bigger boy.
"Line up, line up! He is going to kill us!"
Yuri tried to look as calm as possible, but he was afraid, and Kai could tell. The boys stood I the line quietly. After a few moments, Boris stormed in, and glared angrily at the them. His hair was all messed up, as if after an explosion. Then he asked, trying to keep all of his anger inside.
"Who left that firework in my office?"
No answer.
"Who left that firework in my office??"
Kai fell Yuri shiver next to him. He knew he would be beaten badly, if Boris finds out. Yuri and the other had always gotten worth beating than Kai, because Boris was afraid if he hurts Kai really bad, Volatire will not be happy. Not that any of the boys knew it. because Kai never told them.
A thought flashed in Kai's mind. He stepped forward and bent his head.
"I'm sorry___ I did it_"
Boris glared at him hatefully.
"I think we need to have a little talk in my office, Kai__"___________
Ten-year old redhead was sitting on the bed in his tiny room. Moon light was softly shining through the window, falling on boy's bent head. Yuri kicked the chair in front of him, and watched it fall on the ground. It didn't matter to him that Boris might hear the noise and come to punish him. Yuri looked at the moon, and wispered with tears in his eyes
"Kai, you told me you won't ever leave me__you won't ever leave me alone in this terrible place__all alone_where did you go, Kai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ________
Kai looked at the boy in front of him, remembering their childhood. They were like brothers. They still are.
"Kai, you told me, you won't leave me_" said Yuri quietly. "You are back_"
The boys hugged. Just like when they were kids.

Note:
(1)- Durak- Idiot
I also thought it will be wise to explain the New Year scene.
I Russia, it is a tradition to give presents for New Year, not Christmas (which is celebrated Jan. 7).
I did live in Moscow (and will be moving there again soon), so all of the city descriptions will be based on my memories, and will be the most accurate. O_~
Thanks to my first reviewer!!!
Paiku-you are the best! ^_^
Please leave a review too. I will be grateful for any comments that will help me make my story better.
Sorry that this chapter was rather pointless. But I thought about how cute Yuri and Kai must have looked when they were kids (think about Bryan too!!!) , so I couldn't help it!!!!!! ~_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You are back_" repeated Yuri, as he let go of Kai. As the boy did so, Kai noticed white bandages around Yuri's arms, carefully hidden by long sleeves. It looked like the rest of the boy's body was bandaged too. Kai got worried.
"What the hell happened to you???" he pointed at boy's arms. Yuri looked at them, and answered casually.
"Oh, it's that bastard Boris. Remember how he cybernated me? Well, something hit him, and he decided to take all of that stuff out. So they took me to the lab, put me to sleep, and then I guess pulled all of those wires and chips out. I will have lot's of scars after that operation for sure! Not that I have seen the cuts yet. They told me not to take the bandages off. Anyway, forget him. Let's go, I have to give you the tour of the Abbey!"
He looked around the room. "Gezze, and they say there aren't any earthquakes in Moscow! You must have been in big hurry to unpack!"
Kai didn't want to continue on that subject, so he changed it.
"It sure didn't take you and Bryan a long time to decide who is giving me the "tour"."
"Oh, we didn't even talk! It isn't that hard to figure out which one of us will want to ."
"Bryan didn't seem to be happy to see me, did he?"
"He is just moody."
Kai raised his elegant eyebrow in surprise, as they exited the his room.
"What do you mean, moody?" he asked.
"You will see, when you get to know Bryan. He is very serious and cold, but more or less depending on his mood. One time I even saw him sort of smiling!"
Kai raised his eyebrow again in disbelief.
"Yeah! He was just in the VERY bad mood today__"
/Was it because of me? What did I ever did to him? He should hate Rei, not me_ I will never understand him_not like I care_/
"You are right, he doesn't seem to be happy to see you. Ivan doesn't really care that you are back, and then Sergei is still bragging about beating you in the World Championships. So just ignore them."
Three hours later.
Kai's legs were sour from all off the walking, but he did have a very good time with Yuri, even though almost every room in this terrible place awoke bad memories in him. Boris yelling at the team in the kitchens, Boris beating him in the training room, Boris hitting Yuri for standing by the door that was off limits, more and more memories of Boris beating him or the other boys. Only Yuri's company helped Kai get those terrible moments out of his head.
The Abbey was bigger than Kai remembered, and Yuri said that not all parts were recreated after Kai demolished some of it. Boris only bothered to rebuild Biovolt offices and labs. Kai mentally shivered, imagining the cold, clean labs, where terrible experiments were carried out on both bit beasts and humans.
Like Yuri and his Wolbrog. Kai thought about how lucky he was, that Volatire had taken him out of the Abbey. Thanks to his grandfather Kai was still human. And Dranzer still had his spirit. What if they try to do some experiment on Dranzer? No, Kai thought, I will not let them_.He will die, before he lets them take Dranzer.
"Kai, are you listening?", Yuri started to shake Kai to get boy attention.
"Oh, sorry. I drifted off"
"Did Bryan say something to you? He can be very poisons sometimes."
Kai remembered Bryan's words. He had been thinking about them a lot, especially when he was alone. The boy was feeling much calmer about it now. He didn't know how Bryan managed to get better of him. It is going to one tough life in this Abbey, Kai thought. Big surprise__..
"Kai!!!! ARE YOU LISTENING?????" Yuri pushed Kai very hard and the boy slammed into the wall. That brought him back to the real world alright.
/What's with those Demolition boys? All slamming and hitting____/
"So, what were you saying Yuri?"
"I was speaking about our schedule! Wake up at 5:30, be at the kitchen at six, finish eating at 6:10, line up, listen to Boris, then training till noon. After that is a half an hour break. Then training again till six. Then dinner, an hour of free time, more training till ten. After that we are suppose to be in bed, but no one ever checks, You can even sneak into the practice room, if you are that eager."
He laughed. "Short summary- training, training, training!"
Then he looked at Kai.
"You traveled all the way from Japan today didn't you?? Then get to bed. Boris wouldn't be happy if you are late."
Kai wondered if Boris was ever happy, but said nothing. He looked around the corridor.
"Where is your room?"
"The next hallway to the left, then three rooms to the right, room 92. Bryan is right here, room 116. Ivan and Sergei are both on the next hallway to the right, except Ivan's room is only two doors to the left, and Sergei is way at the other end of the hall."
The lifeless stone corridor around Kai seemed to be filled with endless metal doors on both sides.
"What's behind all of the other doors?"
Yuri looked rather mysterious.
"Some of them are empty rooms. Others are just plain closets and storage areas. But most are simply looked. It's a mystery what's behind them, but once in a while, you will see some one go into them. Mostly at night. I tried to take a peak, but got caught." Yuri fell silent. There was no need to explain what happened to him afterwards. That was obvious.
As the silence grew, each one of them started to remember all the times they did something wrong, and Boris's wrath came upon them. Kai remembered that he was locked up in his room and starved for a week after he told Boris he set up a firework in his office. Yuri had risked his life and wellbeing by climbing out of the windows, and walking along the walls, holding on to the window frames, to pass him some bread he stole from the kitchens, while Sergei and Ivan served as a distraction for Boris and Biovolt. Kai never did find a way to repay them. Yuri was probably remembering the same thing.
"Hey Kai, do you remember that time with the firework?"
Kai nodded.
"I can't believe you took my punishment. I was surprised Boris didn't kill you strait away, he was so mad!"
Kai grinned.
"And you where climbing out of windows like a monkey, just to give me food_. Where on earth did you get that firework anyway??"
It was Yuri's turn to grin now.
"Oh, I have my ways. I have been saving up money all my life, but I got really pissed off at Boris one time. So when we went into the city, I bought a firework. Then I sneaked away from the group, ran back to the Abbey and climbed up the wall. Boris was stupid back then- he left his window open. So I threw the firework in, and ran for my life. The explosion distracted him long enough for me to get away, and rejoin you. But all the sparks flying out of his window looked pretty cool!"
Kai raised his eyebrow as Yuri started to laugh, but could not keep serious, and started to laugh too.
"See ya tomorrow, Kai!" said Yuri, still laughing. Kai looked at him, as the boy walked away, and then entered his room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(phone rings. It's picked up)
(Man's voice)
-Hello?
-Boris, I need something from you.
-Yes, sir?
-I need you to send me two of your boys to my lab right now.
-May I ask why?
-The Experiment!
-Oh, yes, I remember. Who do you need?
-I don't care. Any two.
-I need Yuri, and Bryan can't be part of that experiment. Then Kai__no, not Kai. Will Ivan and Sergei fit?
-Perfectly. Now, I want them to be here by midnight, tomorrow.
-Is that possible?
-Yes. Spend as much as you need, I will cover all expenses.
-They will be there. But what about the replacement?
-The replacement is all taken care off, and should be at the Abbey by noon. Maybe later.
-Will I have to do the pick up?
-Yes. Get rid of your boys for tomorrow. Send them off to Moscow or something.
-Will be done, sir.

Note: This all used to be two diffrent chapters. Flashbacks and The Walk. I desided that I had too many chapters , so I just made them into one big one. I kept the note for the previous chapter.
So, I hope this wasn't that bad!!!
Ah, almost forgot!!!! /blah/- someone thinking. My pc is messed up. Can't upload cursive.

Kai stepped through the door, mentally still cursing Bryan, and look at the room. It was small, with only a bed, a table and a chair in it. His small black suitcase was already on the bed. At the side of the table there was a door. Kai walked to it, and turned the wooden handle. The door swinged open to reveal a tiny bathroom with a sink, a cabinet and a shower in it.

-I need you to send me two of your boys to my lab right now.
-May I ask why?
-The Experiment!
-Oh, yes, I remember. Who do you need?
-I don't care. Any two.
-I need Yuri, and Bryan can't be part of that experiment. Then Kai__no, not Kai. Will Ivan and Sergei fit?
-Perfectly. Now, I want them to be here by midnight, tomorrow.
-Is that possible?
-Yes. Spend as much as you need, I will cover all expenses.
-They will be there. But what about the replacement?
-The replacement is all taken care off, and should be at the Abbey by noon. Maybe later.
-Will I have to do the pick up?
-Yes. Get rid of your boys for tomorrow. Send them off to Moscow or something.
-Will be done, sir.

Note: This all used to be two diffrent chapters. Flashbacks and The Walk. I desided that I had too many chapters , so I just made them into one big one. I kept the note for the previous chapter.
So, I hope this wasn't that bad!!!
Ah, almost forgot!!!! /blah/- someone thinking. My pc is messed up. Can't upload cursive.
