##CHAPTER EIGHT##
// OUR PAST PARTIALLY UNVEILED \\
**12 YEARS EARLIER**
~BUSY STREETS~
A 3 year old girl turned right into a dark alleyway, ruffles of short light blue hair tied in a messy ponytail flailing along. She popped her head out with her face full of anxiety, especially showing it in her brown eyes.
She was wearing an over sized old navy blue t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off and to keep her shirt from being in her way, the girl tied it in a knot, hanging above her knees with ripped shorts.
The little girl was watching a boy her age being chased down by a teenager, his fist in the air and shouting. The little boy was terrified but kept on running, weaving in and out through the bodies of crowds, arms filled with red ripe apples.
He was wearing an old faded black vest with pants that runs up to his knees.
"Hurry, Dai! Hurry!" The little girl urged as her twin little brother almost neared her.
Dai heavily huffed but hurried to his sister, quickly passing the many ripe apples and then dashed across the crowded street.
"Meet ya at park, Kei!" The boy waved with a grin before disappearing in the massive crowd.
Kei nodded, hoping her brother would be alright.
"Give me back my apples, you twerps!" threaten the teenager as he towered over Kei.
"No way!" Kei stuck out her tongue, kicked him in the groin and hurried off into the streets. The teenager doubled over as he could only muster up a squeak of pain.
~DESIGNATED PARK~
"Kei!" Dai popped out from behind a row of fresh green bushes. "You back!"
"Yup!" Kei nodded and showed her arms full of red apples. "Everyone here?"
A dozen more heads popped out from row of bushes, many of them are younger while few were a bit older.
Kei passed out the apples, fortunately, having enough for everyone.
"Great job, Kei, Dai!" congratulated a boy who seemed to be about 7 years old, patting both of their heads.
Dai and Kei both smiled happily. "Thank you, Blade!"
Blade was wearing a dark green mock turtle neck with the sleeves ripped off and black shorts, having wild spiky brown hair with matching emerald green eyes.
He smiled brightly but it suddenly faded away when the kids heard a car engine sounding closer, Blade shouted, "Scramble!"
All the heads popped back into the bushes, kids scampering away to their hiding places while Dai and Kei scrambled up a tree nearby. Blade stayed behind as well as the few older kids.
Two figures emerged from the black car; one seems to be a teenager while the other was about 5 years old.
~UP IN THE TREE~
"Hey, it them again" Dai whispered to the branch across from him.
"What they want from Blade?" Kei wondered as she looked up, seeing leaves everywhere. "They come here every 2 weeks!" She lowered her head.
"They took Sano, Fang, Trini and Yamazaki from us!" Dai exclaimed. "They no come back to Rascal Kids! They gone 'coz of them!"
"Shh!" Kei hushed Dai with a glare. She added with a forced whispering, "They hear us if you talk so loud!"
Dai glared back but couldn't bring himself to glare for long so he grinned and folded his arms. Kei just sighed and shook her head.
~BACK TO BLADE AND COMPANY~
"What do you want, Ken?" Blade asked as he locked his use to cheerful but now with disdain, emerald green eyes on the two figures.
"We want to recruit more potential kids" replied the teenager. "Is it a problem?"
Ken looked about 13 years of age having dark brown crew cut, cold navy blue eyes with slim rectangular glasses, wearing a black t-shirt embroidered with a white phoenix tied up in metal chains and dark grey cargo pants with matching sneakers.
"Yeah, actually it is" Blade retorted, folding his arms. "Aren't four kids enough for you people?"
"They weren't the specific type we were searching for" the teenager replied coolly.
The boy was 1/3 of Ken's height having short reddish-brown hair, dark crimson eyes, wearing a sleeveless red v-neck shirt with black fingerless gloves, and dark brown shorts with black sneakers.
"We want the twins you got!" the 5 year old boy added.
"Why them?" Blade asked warily.
"Well they ARE connected with each other aren't they?" The boy freshly replied.
Blade glared at the kid for his freshness.
"So, are you going to hand them over?" Ken asked, looking down on Blade who was half his height but equally strong.
"Over my dead body!" Blade stated, shifting his glare over to Ken. "You're not laying a single finger on the twins OR the other kids!" He said through gritted teeth.
"Is that so, Blade?" Ken cocked an eyebrow up, amused already.
"Yeah, that's so" Blade responded, keeping his glare at Ken and clenching his fists.
"Like to see you try!" the boy challenge.
"Shut up, Lyosuke!" Blade snapped at the kid.
~UP IN THE TREE~
"It no look right" Dai stated after watching them intently. "They want us, Kei!"
"I know" Kei nodded in agreement. She then added, "But Blade want to put up fight for us."
"I hope we no go with them!" Dai hoped against hope. "It going to change everything if we do!"
"But I no want Blade to get hurt 'coz of us" Kei frowned. "Then they take all Rascal Kids to go with them like Sano and others!"
"We..."Dai paused, unsure of what he's going to say, "go with them. I no want hurt to Blade and others."
"Wait till time come, kay?" Kei looked at her brother, waiting for his response. Dai nodded.
~BLADE AND COMPANY~
"Heh" Ken smirked, entertained with Blade. "You might be useful as well."
"Go to Hell!" Blade retorted as he took a step back. "I don't want to see you guys! The deal's off!"
"Ohohoho" Lyosuke chuckled evilly. "The deal you made with us is unbreakable Blade."
"You guys play cheap!" exclaimed a kid about Blade's age.
"We're not the one running around stealing now, are we?" Ken smirked. "No deal equals no shelter or anything that you maybe needing for the younger ones."
Blade growled through gritted teeth, restraining himself from throwing a punch at Ken. If he did, it'd only make matters worse. His friends feel the same way, if there was no deal; the younger kids would have a tough time living out in the streets.
Then Dai and Kei jumped off the tree branch and rushed over, standing infront of Blade with their arms stretched out to their sides.
"We go with you" Dai forced himself to say.
"Oh look, the twins are smarter than you" Lyosuke insulted with an evil smirk.
"But you keep deal with Blade!" Kei added, glaring hard mainly at Lyosuke. "If you don't we no go!"
"Heh, fine" Ken agreed. Both Kei and Dai lowered their out stretched arms.
"Dai, Kei!" Blade looked at the two. "You two don't know what you're doing! You're only 3!"
"But we know what we doing" Dai turned his head to look at Blade.
"We no want younger kids sick like we use to" Kei reasoned, shifting her head around to face Blade.
Blade sighed, "You two are always stubborn." He placed his hands over their short light blue hair, ruffling it. "Fine but promise me you two won't ever change when you two leave that place."
"We promise!" Dai and Kei guaranteed.
"Ah, enough with the saps"" Lyosuke said, irritated. "Get into the car." He pointed the already open doors.
Kei and Dai hugged Blade one last time and then departed to the black car. They both knew they were in for something but never knew what it was though.
-I wonder if Sano and others are there?- Kei wondered as she stared out the moving scenary.
-I hope none goes wrong- Dai hoped as he slumped against Kei.

MK: YAY! DONE!
Daisuke: FINALLY.
Keisuke: Can't believe we didn't talk proper grammars....
MK: You two were ONLY THREE for Kami-sama's sake!
Daisuke:^_^;;
Lyosuke: I sounded smart for a 5 year old.
Keisuke: That's because you grew up there. Daisuke and I grew up on the streets.
Lyosuke: Whatever.
Daisuke: WHY IS IT ONLY HALF OF OUR PAST, MK?!
MK: Uh...Don't you want to get on with what was happening in the BBA?
Daisuke: OH YEAH! YEAH!
MK: Then that's why.
Ken: Why did Daisuke's and Keisuke's name Dai and Kei??
MK: You'll see? AND WHEN DID YOU SHOW UP?!
Ken: What? Don't like me?
MK: Not your attitude....But I like how Lyosuke came out in my drawing!
Lyosuke: AHH NO! STAY AWAY, MK!
MK: -_-U
Everyone: See you later!
Lyosuke ran around hold MK's drawing while she is chasing him with a bonker.
Lyosuke: I'M KEEPING THIS!
MK: NO WAY IN HELL YOU ARE!
Ken: That's the first time I see Lyosuke like this.
Keisuke + Daisuke: Yeah.
Daisuke: What happened to the BladeBreakers anyway?
Ken: *Points to closet that says 'DO NOT OPEN! BLADEBREAKERS HERE' hears banging and threats from within*
Daisuke: O_O Oh.
