Konnichiwa! Keep up the reviews people, your slacking! Thank you to
everyone really, your support is still strong and I love you all. Any more
opinions out there? Please? I love to know what you all think! I have also
had a request about changing Kai's clothes to what he wears in beyblade 3 g-
rev, but I've not seen it. Kai did go through the period of wearing t-
shirts and so forth because of his injuries, and I like what he wears for
the first series, its so Kai. If he wears something else, I'll probably
make it up.

"Ray? Ray!" called Tyson. He had noticed Ray and Tadashi had gone off somewhere and went to look for them, he still didn't trust Tadashi. He found Ray standing where they had found Kai, looking at something in his hand.
"Dude? What's up? Where Tadashi?" he added the last question as he looked around and didn't see anybody else.
"She's gone" was all Ray replied.
"What?"
Ray handed him what was in his hands. Tyson looked at what he was now holding. Held in his fingers was a tattered looking, dirty piece of paper. He read out loud what was written on the smudged surface.
'The viper is now ours again, and the phoenix will be too. Beware the crimson dawn Bladebreakers, for it will be the undoing. He will be ours, revenge will be mine, let him sleep, for when he awakes, his betrayal will seem like a friendly gesture. He will not remember you, and you will bow before us. Prepare to suffer, because that is a promise.'
Tyson shivered. What the hell was happening?!
Ray broke the dusty silence. "They have Tadashi T, and they mean to have Kai. What did they do to him to make him collapse?"
"I dunno, I think we should show the others this man, they need to know, Kai's in big trouble here!"
They hurried back to the house. Kai had been placed on the sofa and was twisting around under the hold of anyone strong enough. Samantha was attempting to check Kai's pulse, and Hilary was standing by Kai's head, tears dripped off her nose as she tried to hold the two-toned head still. Kai was heaving under their grip, cries and mutterings escaped his lips, as he fitted from whatever they had done to him. Ray and Tyson rushed to help hold him as Samantha continued her checks.
After what seemed like too long, Kai had finally settled. He lay panting, sweaty, and unconscious as the fit subsided. A black bruise had formed on one side of Kai's neck; at the centre was a small, bloody hole. They waited for him to wake up, but he seemed to slip deeper into unconsciousness. Samantha kept checking him, making sure everything was still functioning. Her face was cool and professional, but the way her lips twitched, and the worried look in her eyes, showed everyone else how nervous she was. It didn't help to reassure them.
Time ticked away and Kai had shown no signs of waking up.
Ray sighed and in the anxious silence it startled most people. They all looked at him. He gave Tyson a look and turned back to everyone else.
"I was waiting for Kai to wake up, but as it seems it won't be soon, I'll tell you what I was waiting for. Me and Tyson found this where Kai went down, and where Tadashi went missing."
Several of them looked around suddenly, only just realising Tadashi wasn't with them.
"I knew it! I knew we couldn't trust her! As soon as she saw an opening she...." Hilary never got to finish as Ray interrupted her.
"I don't think it was like that, 1. It looks like there was someone dragged off from the scuffs in the dirt, and 2. Kai trusts her and we should accept his judgement." Ray ticked off the numbers on his fingers to emphasise his point. Hilary looked at everyone sheepishly before bowing her head and apologising.
Ray continued, "Anyway, we found this note, I think it means big trouble." He showed everyone the paper, it went through every pair of hands and every pair of eyes before anyone said anything else.
"Shit" was all Max said, only to be whacked on the head by Tyson's grandpa for doing so.
"None of that little homie, we got bigger fish here then your mouth to gut and fry, so don't add to the equation, you dig?"
Max nodded with a grimace as he rubbed the sore spot on his head.
"and it doesn't help with the situation we have now, we still don't know what they did to Kai" said Samantha, more concerned with her patients condition right now then any impending threat that 'might' happen.
"Is he going to be ok?" asked Hilary.
Before Samantha could answer, someone else did.
"Like she would know."
Everyone turned round to see Kai looking at them from his horizontal position on the couch, his mahogany eyes blinking slowly to try and dispel some of the sleepiness he felt.
"Kai!" exclaimed Samantha as she swooped down to check him over again. Kai shot up into a sitting position and scooted across the couch away from her. She looked at him with a pained expression.
"I know you don't like it, but I need to see if you're ok!" her voice sounded weary of the whole scenario.
"Tough, I feel fine, so therefore, I am!"
"You know it doesn't work that way!" she argued as she reached over to grab his arm. Kai saw it coming and dived over the couch arm and stood, swaying slightly.
"Don't. Touch. Me!" he said, pronouncing every word the way he felt, angry.
"We are only trying to help! Stop being so childish!" Samantha immediately regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. Kai stopped swaying as his attention was focused; he gave her a glare that made her shiver.
"Think what you like, I'm out of here", he then turned and walked out of the room.
"No Kai, I didn't mean that! Come back!" yelled Samantha as she ran to the door. She looked through the doorway and Kai wasn't there. He can move when he wants to! Was the thought as she glanced all round.
The rest of the bladebreakers sat Samantha back down and went to find Kai.
Before Ray followed through the door he turned to look at Samantha, "poor timing I think, but don't worry, we'll get him back." He then turned and followed the others. Samantha sighed, what was it about Kai she just couldn't seem to handle? She didn't think she would ever know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kai sighed; he was about ready to give up with himself. Everything felt like it was ready to smother him. Samantha was the worst. He shouldn't have been so hard on her, she was only trying to help, but she didn't listen. He didn't want her touching him, how hard was that to understand, it was like it was only her, he didn't want contact with anyone.
Then he heard the scuffle noises behind him. He turned to see the bladebreakers, his team, running to catch him up. He turned back round and continued to walk up the slightly hilled path. He slumped his shoulders slightly and stuck his hands in his pockets, now what?
"Kai! Dude! Buddy!" was what was called as he continued to pace himself up the incline. They caught up.
"What?" asked Kai.
"Stop running away from us Kai!" said Max. Kai raised an eyebrow at that. "I'm not running Max, I'm walking."
Max spluttered slightly, "I, uh, well, uh; oh you know what I mean!"
"Don't be a smart arse Kai!" said Tyson.
"Cant help what I am." Was the cool reply.
"That's enough you guys! We are here to fetch Kai, not argue!" tried Hilary; she didn't want the argument to go any further.
Ray decided Hil was right, enough was enough. "Kai, come on, lets go back to Tyson's. This is getting silly."
Kai wheeled round to face Ray, "silly? Like I'm being childish? Why can't any of you understand what I'm saying? It all starts when I ask something simple, like don't touch me and you lot ignore it and do it anyway!"
"What's wrong with us wanting to help Kai? We're your friends, you don't need to be this defensive around us!" equalled Ray.
"Why can't you trust us?" asked Hilary.
The anger went from Kai's eyes, "because I can't trust myself. I lash out when I'm cornered, and right now I feel trapped when people touch me and I can't control it. It hurts, and it runs deep, and I can't do anything about it. Maybe having my memories back is a bad thing, now I remember more then I ever wanted to."
Everyone gawped at the sudden change that went through Kai, one minute he was angry, head held high and body tense with power, the next he was slouched onto himself, talking quietly, dejected. It was the biggest emotional change they had seen in their captain ever, and it was unnerving.
Then an even bigger shock took them as Kai cried out and bent over, clutching at himself like he was trying to hold himself together. He fell to his knees and struggled for breathe as pain tore through every nerve. His head swam, and his vision darkened. Then, just as quickly as it had come, it went. He came back to Earth with a bump, and shrugged off the hands that had placed themselves on his shoulders; they were doing it again, touching him. He didn't think they would ever listen. Before he could say anything, Hilary gave a strangled gurgle.
They all turned to see her in the arms of someone; a knife was pressed to her throat.
Kai stared into the cold, dark eyes of Leon. Leon grinned in return.
"I'm here to collect Kai."
