I know I said it'd be a week but I kind of forgot that I had said that and I got so many ideas. Readers please don't kill me for having like 8 uncompleted stories uploaded, I AM WORKING ON THEM I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kai or beyblade and we already know no one here does.
Kai ran so fast the wind stung his face , he crashed through street stalls, grazed his arm on a street corner, anything to let pain overcome the whimpering emotion in his chest. He felt his shoulders ache, his heart pounded, but still he kept on running for another hour. He was going to use up every teensy weensy bit of strength he ahd left in his body until he would surely die from exhaustion. He sat in a tree for a while in the woods, but when the sky started to dim, he started running again, he gave himself no rest until his legs failed and he collapsed on an alley corner on the wharf side of the city by the river.
Lifting his head he crawled agonisingly slowly across the rough potholed concrete and dragged himself onto the grassy riverbank where he let his back and head rest on the base of a young tree. He curled up, huddling against his scarf, his face shielded from the outside world.
His knees were curled against his chest. He shivered, cuddling the scarf more to try and keep him warm. Japan was cold in winter, very cold.
He had no plans or strength to get up and move and no intention of letting his team mates know where he was or how he was.
He slowly put a hand to his trouser pocket on his hip and pulled out a familiar blue beyblade. He traced the attack ring, he knew every detail of it, every twist, point, curve and ridge. Of course, he thought bitterly, he knew everything, he was perfect wasn't he?
He was perfect, perfect, perfect, a horrible perfectionist who no one cared about and who trained for his grandfather, maybe one day, Kai had hoped, his grandfather would smile at him and say, "I'm proud of you grandson." No such luck. One wish, just one wish, to be wanted.
That was all he was asking for, and the last person he thought might want him just rejected him.
He felt his mouth twitch and clutching the empty blue beyblade where Dranzer had once been, he cried. Kai Hiwatari was totally broken.
Tears leaked down his face, they ran through his face paint, washing his last tough defence away. Shiny tears ran down his pale creamy cheeks. Moonlight added a sheen o his tears as he sniffed. Dranzer's beyblade pressed to his lonely heart. He wondered if anyone would be able to put together the shattered pieces of his soul, if anyone wanted to.
"Dranzer", thought Kai, memories of his faithful bitbeast so fiery and warm Kai would never be cold again. Until after the tournament and Voltaire had snatched away his bitchip and crushed Dranzer beneath his foot before Kai's very eyes.
None of the others noticed, Kai was too protective of his beyblade to let Kenny upgrade it anymore. In matches they hadn't noticed, he won without calling out a bitbeast, it took him a lot of energy to win that way but he couldn't risk them knowing.
From then on, Kai's spirit had been dulled. There was no spirit in him anymore, only a ghost of a had been.
No one noticed past his exterior to see the forlorn little 11 year old boy who just wanted to be loved and understood like any other little kid.
The moonlight stilled Kai's tears, each one as precious as a shining star.
"He's gone Tyson! He's gone!" cried Max, "don't you get it? He's gone and he's probably never going to come back! That was really hurtful even if some parts were true, that must have hurt."
"I didn't think he'd take it like that" said Tyson worried, "I thought he'd just argue back or something or get mad, I didn't think he'd run away, it's not very Kai-ish."
"That's just it!" yelled Kenny shrilly, "you don't think at all!" He was getting very distressed. "This is Kai! You don't know him like you think you do!"
"Tyson" said Rei, "if you hadn't noticed Kai hasn't been very 'Kai-ish' as you put it. He's been more withdrawn than ever."
"I didn't think he'd take it like that!" Tyson repeated.
"Of course he'd take it that way!" cried a voice.
"Tala?!" yelled Max, Tyson, Kenny and Rei. They glared at each other.
"What do you want Tala?" said Tyson, "Why are you here."
"I'm here to teach you a lesson about your friends Kinomiya!" barked Tala. He got straight to the point. "Kai's used to beatings, rough words and mental, physical and verbal abuse more than anyone in the Abbey. He could stand it then. Then he met you guys, You still don't know why he joined the team do you? The one person he respected, who beat him in beybattle.
"He found something out that day. Why do you think he was being distant and walked away straight after the announcement? Why do you think Kai had more attention and focus on you Tyson? I thought you'd have gotten through it why pestering you, shouting at you, giving you extra training was the only way he could be with you.
"There's people after his blood, he's so precious you, his best freinds don't even realise it. I don't even know if he thinks you still are his friends. The times he disappeared after you said something hurtful to him. Every time you complained about him, didn't care if he was about, round, on or off the team.
"Kai has feelings Tyson, they're kept secret deep down, but they're there and no one can hurt your feelings more, make you feel unwanted, more than your own brother." Tala looked steadily at Tyson. "Now I have to go, I can't watch over him anymore, Kai can't completely take care of himself yet, I'd have thought you'd noticed that Kinomiya. Your little brother needs you Tyson, badly. You've done more than just hurt him this time, you've broken hi heart."
Tala ran quickly off, whispering quietly "and sealed his death sentence but you have to learn your lesson Kinomiya."
Tyson stood staring unblinkingly for several minutes, letting all this sink in. He felt like crying but he had to be strong, for Kai, Kai....his brother A ghost of a smile came to his lips, his little baby brother. That would have been unimaginable before, but now, in the late afternoon, after seeing Kai's eyes as he glanced at Tyson one last time, it was totally believable. Tyson didn't know if he could hold this responsibility but he had to, he thought determinedly, I have to for Kai!
