Chapter Seven - A Brother's Word

Tyson stared forward blankly, into the darkness, the shadows, the world devoid of form and colour. This was his life now, living in a world of darkness and shadows, with no hope of ever seeing his family, his friends, nothing. He swallowed hard and dried the tears in his eyes. He felt so alone. He couldn't even tell if there was anyone guarding his cell, how could he without his sight?

He knew he had descended into self-pity, and though he couldn't stop thinking how low it was to feel this sorry for himself, it couldn't be stopped. All he had where his memories.

Tyson smiled to himself. At least not all was lost, he supposed. He still had his memories, the most important in his life. He remembered the day he found out he and Kai where related, a week to two after they had become a team, the day before the battle against the White Tigers. He told Ray he couldn't sleep because of the battle and that was why he wasn't in bed and training, but the fact was he couldn't stop thinking about his family that night. He himself had decided, and his family later supported, that it was best not to tell Kai, as it could be a bit of a shock for him.

Besides, he wouldn't listen to two words Tyson said at the time.

After the world championship and they had gone their separate ways, Tyson had found it to difficult to tell Kai. They where finally friends, and he wasn't sure how the news would affect that. So he kept it to himself. Now, four years down the line, Kai finally knew the truth, and this is where it landed him.

Hugging his knees to his chest, Tyson started down at here he thought his feet were. He would never forget the day he and Kai where split up. Tyson himself had only been four at the time, and Kai going on five. He remembered the day surprisingly clearly, yet Kai's memories where repressed, forced to be forgotten.

Tyson shut his eyes as memories came back to him. He could clearly remember the night before they where separated...

Flashback

"Wha' we do with the geary thingy?"

"Um... maybe dat's an extwa part..."

"To what?"

"To da Beybade!" a four-year-old Tyson said, pointing at the Beyblade in his hand. He was wearing a green t-shirt, light green with dark green edges, and baggy blue shorts. He was sitting in the dojo, a four-year-old Kai sitting across from him, looking quizically at a ripcord in one hand, then a launcher in the other. Kai was wearing a peach coloured t-shirt and dark blue denim overalls, making him look slightly shorter then he really was.

"I dunno Ty..." Kai mumbled, shaking his head. He looked at the ripcord and inserted it into the launcher, holding it up. "Does dat look right?" he asked, but Tyson just looked on in confusion.

I couldn't figure out what Kai was doing... but as always I decided to see if he'd mess up first...

Kai took the Beyblade from Tyson, which was larger then either of their hands, and clipped it into place. "Ok..."

"So now what?" Tyson asked, poking the launcher. "How's yous make it spin?"

It took us even longer to figure out how it worked, but then we where playing like there was no tomorrow. Then... it was ruined...

"Kai...? Kai?"

"Wha...?" Kai opened his eyes slowly, awoken lightly by someone shaking him. He rubbed is eyes with his small fist trying to force himself awake. Looking forward, he blinked the sleep out of his eyes and looked at Tyson, who was standing beside his bed. "What's wrong Ty?"

"Mommy and daddy are fighting again..." the four-year-old said quietly. Only then was Kai aware of the loud voices downstairs. He frowned and sat up shuffling over to make room for his little brother. Tyson sat down next to him, eyes downcast and expression blank. They sat in silence for a few minutes, before Tyson spoke up. "Why mus' dey always be fighting?"

"I dunno..."

"Do you think we'll be split up...?"

Kai looked over at his brother and shook his head. "Dat on'y happens in movies, you watch to much TV."

"It could happen..." Tyson whispered, looking up at Kai was teary eyes. For as long as he could remember, their parents had always fought. Many nights when their parents fought Tyson would come into his brother. The company was a great comfort, and Kai never rejected him. Tyson was pretty sure Kai needed the company just as much as he did.

Kai frowned and wrapped his arms around his little brother, hugging him. He hated to see his brother cry. "Don't worry Ty, everything will be ok."

Tyson leaned into Kai and whispered. "What if it's not?"

Kai groaned. What was with Tyson's negative attitude anyway? He sighed and smiled at him. "Well, if somethin' does go wrong, and mommy and daddy do split us up, we'll see each other again." he smiled as Tyson looked up in confusion. "We make a promise; to find each other if mommy and daddy make us split up."

Tyson blinked in confusion a few times. Where did Kai come up with this stuff? He smiled and nodded. "Good idea."

"Promise?" Kai asked, holding up his hand so his palm was facing Tyson. Doing likewise, Tyson raised his hand and placed his against Kai's, smiling. "Promise."

End Flashback

Tyson smiled at the memory. They had kept that promise, even though they didn't realise it. Because of their parents constant arguments about who knows what, Kai and Tyson had learned to rely on each other rather then their parents. They weren't in school at the time, it was summer and Kai would only be starting preschool coming September, so they only had each other for company, which suited them fine.

He still remembered all the games they played, the secrets they kept. They where things he'd never forget. He still kept small little things that reminded him of his past when Kai was still around. It was embarrassing, yes, but no one ever saw them. There were photos and drawings mainly.

Tyson frowned. He would never see those pictures again, nor those drawings. A slight tinge of panic hit him. What if he forgot? What if he started to slowly forget what the world was like and couldn't remember what the world looked like? What if he forgot what Kai looked like? He lowered his head to his knees and shut his eyes tight. "I don't want to forget you Kai..."

"Take him away."

Kai was lost. He didn't know where he was, why he was there, what was happening. All he could feel and understand was the pain circling him in ways he could never imagine. His mind thought of nothing but the tortures he had suffered from childhood to the present time and the tortures he was destined to suffer in the future. His heart ached from the emotional breakdowns he had hidden, ignored and concealed over the years, his body ached from the tortures he had just received.

The room swirled before his eyes as two blurry figures lifted his from his feet, making sure, Kai noticed, to grabbed his arm where there was an injury. It didn't add much to his agony, and his voice could not respond. It was drowned in tears.

Tears...

Something Kai had not felt in a long time. Kai didn't want to let anyone get the better of him, so he defied all emotion bar rage, hate and superiority. Now, he was no longer the unbreakable Beyblader who some of Voltaire's workers had come to respect out of fear. No. He was a broken man and, in their eyes, deserved to be treated like dirt.

That's all he was worthy of.

Kai's eyes suddenly began to feel very heavy, red and sore from the tears of his suffering. He continued to sob, eyes shut tight, but his emotions unbound. He vaguely heard a voice telling him to 'shut up', and barely realised he had received a blow to the back of the head. He was barely conscious to the world around him.

All voices and images faded away to darkness. No one was there, no one to hurt him.

But also, no one to comfort him.

A figure stood atop a building outside he abbey, focused eyes scanning the building for an entrance. In the darkness of the night, only his silhouette was visible, a Beyblade glowing slightly green in his right hand. "They're here..."

A second person pulled himself up and sat on the roof beside the first, a Beyblade also in his hand, glowing slightly purple. He looked at his Beyblade, then to his friend. "Draciel can sense it too. What are they doing here Ray? Of all places..."

"I dunno Max," Ray said as he pocketed his Beyblade. He looked over at Max. "But we have to get in there. They could be in serious trouble." he finished.

Max nodded and stood up, looking over at the abbey. "I should have known something was wrong. Tyson was acting weird the day before he was caught..." He lowered his gaze to the floor. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked over at Ray.

"It wasn't your fault, Tyson didn't know this was going to happen, no one did. The only thing we need to worry about now is getting Kai and Tyson out of there."

"Your right." Max nodded in agreement, looking forward at the building. "Hang on guys..."
