I don't own beyblade, so no one can sue me, savvy?

I'm sorry to add that by review, you should vote whether this should be switched to an R fic. I had a considerable time trying to cut back on the violence and coarse language in the flashback. Thankfully, there are many alternatives to the word ... well ... lets just say screw. sigh Writing realistically is a tough price to pay.

And thanks to Midnyt Star for reviewing.

Tally wandered back to the couch where she had put Elisabeth. Her eyes seemed concerned, even though they were closed. She almost looked like she was in pain.

"Okay, what do I do with you 'till the storm subsides hmm? Oh, joy, I'm talking to myself already!"

"Pardon me miss?"

Tally jumped. "Holy shit! You scared the hell outta me. Oh, sorry, yes?"

He handed her two mugs of steaming substance. "Hot chocolate. There are two in case your friend wakes up."

"Arigatou." She beamed.

He bowed his head and left the room.

"Well ... What am I to do with you, Bizzy?"

"Will you look at that thunder!"

"It's actually lightning Tyson. You can't technically look at thunder. Thunder is a sound, remember?"

"Yeah, I know Chief. It's just so thundery."

"...right."

"Will you just shut up Tyson?" Amelia interjected fiercely.

"Ohh, well aren't you miss bossy pants!"

"Shut it Tyson!" a vein was throbbing in Amelia's head.

"Well what it I don't—"

BONK!

She had had the last straw and hit him over the head with one of the bokutos from the dojo.

Tyson was a heap on the floor. Amelia smiled with satisfaction that quickly faded into a sigh.

"I hope Elisabeth is Okay."

She joined Kai at the window and studied his worried face. He immediately turned deadpan and grunted.

"Hn."

"Oh don't give me that bullshit! I saw you looking at her at the club! You only danced with her, for cripes sake! There were other girls there. I know you picked her for a reason!" She fumed.

Kai sent her a quick death glare and removed himself from the window.

She stuck her tongue out at his back.

"I saw that."

She pouted.

The sun shone bright in the morning. Unfortunately, Tyson wouldn't wake up so they could leave.

"But I don't wanna!" He pouted. He was clinging to his bed frame and was still half asleep. He was being pulled ankles first.

"Tyson, get moving. Or you wont get to drive passenger seat and have breakfast first at my place."

"Breakfast? Yummy!"

Tyson was up and dressed in a flash. A big Cheshire cat grin dwindled on his face as he fan and jumped in the car.

Everyone shuffled towards it, being wary of what went on last night. Kai then noticed a piece of paper, hiding next to the drivers seat.

He picked it up and read.

'So that's why she was upset.'

Tyson honked the horn and freed Kai from his ponderings.

"Come on Kai! We're going to be late for breakfast."

It's just then that Kai took a good look at the car.

He paused. "We aren't all going to fit."

"That Okay homies!"

They sweatdropped.

"What? I can take some of ya with me, dig?"

"Grandpa!"

"You too Tyson! Quit complaining and hop into my van. Kai can drive the girls and Rei. Max, Tyson, Chief, you're coming with me!"

Everyone moved without complaint. Except Tyson who was once again, being pulled from his ankles as he held fast to the vehicle.

Once everyone was in, Kai took the lead and drove. It's was only a few minutes until...

Tally was scared. Elisabeth had been shivering last night and she hadn't even noticed. As soon as she woke up, she noticed, and then she piled blankets over her. Yet she still didn't stop shivering.

'I can feel the blankets. I can hear Tally. Why can't I open my eyes?'

Elisabeth looked troubled. But Tally knew she was at least partly conscious.

Elisabeth, meanwhile began encountering flashbacks. Horrible visions of the night her father was killed. In this very house.

Flashback

Elisabeth ran along the hallways, looking frantically for a place to hide. She had a backpack ready and Tally was just behind her. Now if she could just find Theo.

She found a door that was unlocked.

"Yes!" She whispered.

"Okay, okay, just open it already! They aren't that far behind."

"Right Tal. Sorry."

She flung the door opened. This was her father's study. They could hide successfully in the armoires.

She closed the door behind her, careful not to let it lock. They couldn't know she'd been there.

They rushed to an armoire and quickly shoved the work clothes aside. Elisabeth had a voice in her head saying 'not good! Definitely not good. I was told never to enter his study. Theo will be so mad.'

She didn't have time to think much else because soon after she had closed the door to the armoire, the door to the study was again, flung wide open and another two people stumbled in.

"Please Voltaire! Forgive me!"

"Well Theodore, I would but you've failed me one too many times. Where is that daughter of yours?"

"I told you! You can't have her!"

"We had an agreement Theodore."

"Well screw the agreement and screw you Voltaire! You can't have Elisabeth. I'd rather die!"

"As you wish."

Elisabeth's eyes widened in shock and terror. 'No! no daddy, no!'

A gunshot. Tears pricked at the back of Elisabeth's eyes. Tally tried frantically to calm her, but to no avail.

Elisabeth barged out from the armoire, kicked the gun out of Voltaire's hand and swiftly alternated to his face. She grabbed her backpack and Tally's hand and bolted from the room. She only caught a glimpse of her father before closing the door. It was horrific.

The guards at the door were surprised. It took them a full minute to register what they were supposed to do and set off more gunshots.

That was the night Elisabeth had needed surgery.

Pieces of a bullet had ricocheted of the wall at an odd angle and buried themselves deep within her cheek.

She kept on running. Straight out of the house. She stayed away from the hospital until she absolutely needed to avoid infection. She had had the shards surgically removed.

End Flashback

Elisabeth's eyes exploded open. Her head was pounding and she didn't feel well.

"Elisabeth! Are you okay?"

"Elisabeth smiled weekly. "Never better."

Her friend smiled at this and said, "The boys got here a half hour ago, but I told them to leave until you woke up and got changed. I remembered where you hid those clothes. They were still there. They still fit. I'm surprised."

Elisabeth stood and put tremendous pressure to her brain. She fell back on the couch immediately but stood again. She reassured Tally.

"It's just a head rush Tals, don't worry." She smiled.

Tally helped her up and into the next room where the Bladebreakers were.

They smiled and hugged her when she entered the room.

She turned deadpan, remembering something the Bladebreakers had said about Biovault a while back.

They noticed a sudden change in her.

"Elisabeth? What's up—?"

"I need you guys to tell me what you know about Biovault and Voltaire."

Kai stared. He had been caught off guard. He didn't want anyone to be mentioning his grandfather.

He quickly glared at her and she glared right back. This surprised him more so.

"Why?" Max asked. Elisabeth knew it was a painful subject. She had asked anyway. What had gotten into her?

"It's difficult to explain. I should tell you guys anyway. You deserve an explanation."

She sat and made herself comfortable.

She was looking down. "If I tell you guys this, you swear to tell me all you know about him?"

The nodded. Kai didn't. He most certainly did not want her to know he was Voltaire's grandchild.

He got up and left the room.

"Hn."

Elisabeth almost saw pain in his eyes as he marched from the room.

She shook it off. She'd find him later.

"My father and I used to live here. It was a long time ago. Three years, actually. The only way he could afford this house was to work for Voltaire. But Voltaire had had an arrangement with my father. One I didn't know about. It was agreed that if Theo was to do insubstantial work, I was to be confiscated by Voltaire to work in his organisation. My dad had a plan in play. But that backfired, so Voltaire came looking for me. My father had me go hide and would refuse to let Voltaire had me. I was hiding in the room he was murdered in. In this house."

The Bladebreakers were stunned. Rei was the first to recover. "You have him pretty down pat. All we know is that Biovault did its dirty work in an abbey in Russia. You knew it was circled around bitbeasts and bladers right?"

"Yes, it that all?"

"Oh. Well... Voltaire is also Kai's grandfather."

Elisabeth stood immediately. She ran to find her father's study. It wouldn't take long.

She ran through the enormous hallways and finally came to a stop in front of a door. She paused, then opened it.

The study was no longer a study. The armoire was missing and the bookshelves among other things. They were replaced by a bed and other bedroom things. The desk was still there. And the computer. However, sitting at the computer was a boy with slate coloured hair.

"I always knew that this hole was a bullet hole." He remarked.

She approached him slowly; Tears welled up in her eyes.

"My grandfather lied."

The tears were about to start rolling.

"Voltaire." She said. There were the tears.

He stood up and turned to her.

She looked to him hopelessly. He pulled her into an embrace.

"I hate him too." He remarked sadly. "I'll help you."

Yay! Wouldn't it be awesome to have Kai's help with something? Whoa. Man I'm bored. I'm so happy. Technically, my second chapter today cause I posted the last chapter after midnight...this morning. Anyway, plz review!
