Chapter 1- Kicked Away From "Home"
Kai headed up the long driveway up to his grandfather's mansion, after the bus had dropped him off. He really didn't notice Tyson and his team waving at him from the back of the bus as he walked up. He saw a black limo parked nearby and knew that his grandfather was already home. With a sigh, the slate-haired boy opened one of the huge front doors and walked calmly inside. Wiping his shoes off on the entrance rug, Kai switched his bag to his other shoulder and then headed for the large staircase. He always took two stairs at a time, so it wasn't long before he was at the second floor. Kai walked into his room and closed the door. Placing his bag down in the corner, he flopped down onto the bed. Kai sighed again and sat up. He sure didn't get the feeling that most people get of 'Home Sweet Home' around here, even in his own room. He then took Dranzer out of his deep pants pocket and looked at it hard and long. It always made him feel better to have Dranzer close by all the time.
'Let's go for a spin, ok?' Kai thought at it.
The bit of Dranzer glowed bright red in response, eager to be in the dish. Kai placed the blue blade back in his pocket and headed for the door and the stairs. He was almost at the front door, when a maid came up to him and informed that dinner was ready. Kai nodded and she walked away. Looks like the spin and practice will have to wait. Kai walked into the dinning room with his grandfather already there at the far end of the long table. Without a word, Kai sat down at the other end and started eating. His grandfather frowned crossly at him, not that Kai really noticed or cared.
"Kai, would you care to finally explain you actions at the World Champioships?" Voltaire asked firmly from the far end of the table.
"Hn." was the respnse.
"You had the power of Black Dranzer right in font of you. At you fingertips even and you still disobeyed to use it. It gave you the perfection you had always craved. You had always longed to weild its power, and when I handed it to you, you refused." Voltaire contiued.
Kai didn't say anything. He closed his eyes, trying to zone his grandfather's voice out. Having heard this talk before, he really didn't give a care about it. He knew he had made the right choice regarding Black Dranzer and that was that.
"Black Dranzer would have given you ultimate power and you still refused it. You preferred to be with your friends," his grandfather went on. "I thought I trained out hard enough to block out that sort of thing, but clearly it wasn't hard enough. You must be punished for your betrayal!"
"Betraying you wasn't hard," Kai retorted.
"What?!"
"Oh, yes, you trained me all right. And for years I bought into it. The training, the tests, the punishments, Black Dranzer... I remember it all. Being a tool and a weopon, that's what you trained me to be. And you just can't take that you can't control me anymore." Kai shot back.
Oh, this was certainly turning into a lovely dinner conversation. Reviving his past is not what Kai wanted to do. You can't turn back time, so reviviing it over and over again, wasn't helping. What's done is done. Kai frowned and got up to leave.
"Stop him!" his grandfather shouted.
The two strongest servants in the place grabbed a hold of Kai's arms. Kai dug his feet into the carpet protestingly as they dragged him over to his grandfather.
"Here he is, sir," one of them said.
"Hey , beefy!" Kai called. "You're holding me too tight!"
"Oops. Sorry." both servants said, loosing their grip.
Kai smirked. "Thanks!" he mumbled sarcastically. Then, before they knew what was happening, Kai grabbed their wrists and flipped them over backward onto the floor, knocking the wind from them. He looked over rebeliously at his grandfather and turned to leave again.
"Kai, you get back here!" Voltaire demanded.
Frowning, Kai stopped, but didn't say anything. This was getting old. His grandfather always brought up the incident at the World Championships, and then issue wild threats to him. Kai looked at the floor, eyes closed and arms crossed over his chest, zoning out the whole thing.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Voltaire ordered, making Kai face him. Kai smacked his hand away harshly. "I see, so this is what it's come to, huh? Fine! Pack your bags and get out! I will not have a failure in the family!"
If Kai was shocked at this, he didn't show it. "Fine!" he growled. "I'm sure there are much better places to stay than here!"
Then, without another word, Kai walked calmly out and up to his room. He thought it best to travel light. Picking up his bag, he started to stuff things into it. Like money, extra clothes, and anything else he felt he might need. He found his laucher and stuck it in his pocket with his beyblade. Kai glanced around the room. There, that looks to be it. He headed back to the door, but then stopped as his crimson eyes fell upon a small box and a photo album. He thought about what was in them. The box contained copies of the blades of the BladeBreakers and a few things they had given him. The photo album contained pictures of his friends and himself on their adventures around the world. Kai stuffed them in his bag too. Then in silence, left the mansion, not looking back.
