Chapter 47: Questions; Rites and Decisions.

Tyson got up, another heavy weight on his shoulders; he hoped that his half cousin, a sly evil little creature named Kali, was going to respect his brother's wishes and not come today.

He silently prayed that today would be easier that yesterday, though with his uncle, Isis' father, being the formal business man that he was; he seriously doubted it.

He slipped out of bed and showered, putting on his usual attire. No one was coming around today just like they didn't during the traditional wake, a mark of respect.

He emerged out of his room to find Isis walking along the corridor also; she smiled slightly.

"Hey, feeling better now?" He asked her, he was still worried for his cousin. She nodded and waved it off.

"I'm feeling loads better today than I have in a while." She told him, though a trace of sadness was still there in her voice.

"Isis! Tyson! You two up yet?" A shout from the kitchen as they both entered, rice cakes on the table, something they could all stomach.

"We've got to go to the temple again to sort out the Will." He told them, they both nodded, quietly taking a rice cake. "Tomorrow we can rest, if there's such thing as that" The last part mumbled.


"And so here is the will and testimony of Kinomiya Heiji-san." A temple priest read out slowly, everyone sitting down at a table, in hierarchy. "Kinomiya-san sends out his best wishes to his eldest grandson Kinomiya Hiro-san, and gives him the Dojo and fifty percent of the business and wish that the Dojo is not to be bought or sold to anyone."

There was a silence, as though the priest was daring them to question this.

"To his youngest grandson Kinomiya Tyson-san he gives him twenty five percent of business, a family sword of Dragoon and an inheritance of twenty million Yen."

Another pause as the priest looked around, some relatives were furious; after all, the two young men were already rich in their own right.

"And to his beloved granddaughter Kinomiya Isis-san; he leaves a sliver pendant, the scrolls in the library of the Dojo and fifty thousand English sterling pounds, and twenty five percent of the business."

Isis let out a small gasp; that was so much! Although she'd received the same amount of money as Tyson – if not in a different currency – the pendant had been a family heir loom and the scrolls were worth a fortune if she was to sell only one.

They carried on going through the rest of the family. Everyone at the table, including Kali, who wasn't there, got something out of the Will – showing how kind their grandpa was to them.

Most were satisfied with what they received, some, like Tyson and Isis, were stunned with what they had received.

They began to slowly make their way out of the temple with the list, Hiro making sure everything was accountable for and nothing was written down that wasn't there anymore; close to him, Tyson and Isis; not wanting to get left behind with the rest of their blood kin.

"Isis?"

The three of them stopped and spun around.

"Uncle Granger!"

"Pater."

"I'd like a word with my daughter alone please." He growled at his nephews, who glared at him and nodded.

"We'll wait by the car okay Isis?"

"Okay." She nodded at them and they left, before turning to her father. "What do you want?" She asked him with a slight hint of hate in her tone.

"No need to take that attitude young lady." He told her with a frown. "Am I right in assuming you wanted to sell those?"

"I'm not selling anything."

"Do you know how much money they are worth Isis? You could be rich!"

"They're not for sale pater." She repeated with a growl. "I'm not going to sell them, nothing he gave me I am going to sell." She told him, making sure he understood every word.

"Not even-"

"Not even the pendant or the shares to the business." She told him, her eyes flashing with anger. "Now if that's all you wanted to ask then I've got to go-"

"Come back to England with us Isis."

She looked up, shock in her eyes.

"No! I've got a life here!" She spluttered, "Don't even think about it!"

He ignored her and pulled out a one way ticket to Heathrow airport in London – for two days time.

"I've told you no!" She told him as he pressed it into her hand.

"And yet you won't rip it up will you? You're forgetting this was only meant to be a visit, not a full time stay in Japan my phoenix."

She stared at the ticket helplessly.

But! But… but…

"I don't want it" She told him, trying to give it back to him. He evaded it and looked at her with his cold eyes.

"Think about it Isis. I hope to see you England by Wednesday." He spoke as though she had accepted it.

"But…" She whispered, not knowing what to do as he walked away, as she clutched the ticket in her palm.


Kai walked down the street, damn it, he should have spoken to her yesterday; she probably hated his guts right now for avoiding her at the funeral.

She needed her own time… didn't she? He hoped to god that that was the case.

He growled and kicked a can they lay on the floor, letting it hit right across the street where it bounced and fell onto the road, crushed by the traffic going past, carving it's way through the people filled city of Bakuten, home of the famous Beyblade champions the Bladebreakers, and their Captain Kai Hiwatari.

A captain that was currently enjoying the happiness of a wonderful relationship with the European champion in the singles tournaments; Isis Kinomiya.

A relationship that was currently going down the drain due to the fact that HE'D messed up – big time.

His scowl grew deeper and darker as he thought about it, constantly punishing himself and nothing more, he'd messed up, who was she ever going to forgive him?

She loves you so much Kai! You could break her heart so many times but she would always come back to you eventually.

She loves you so much Kai!

Hilary's words resounded in his head as he digested them.

There was no way she was ever going forgive me Hilary… Not now, not ever…

Just hearing those words in his head made him sink into a deeper depression, his thoughts full of her… God this was worse than it had been when he had thought she had cheated on him…

This knowing that he had hurt her…

It's not fair…


A pretty blonde girl, her face a picture of discomfort as she tried to pull the mini skirt she was wearing down further, scowling at the lilac girl with her.

"Why am I doing this again?" She asked the lilac girl. "Granger-sama I'm not sure Kinomiya-sama will approve of you intervening with this…" She trailed off, wary of Granger-sama's evil look.

"I will do what I please." She told her swiftly, before switching to a gentler poise, one she usually only used on her father when needed. "Aki-chan he is Biovolt scum, Biovolt! You know what they did to your parents… You little brother…"

That did the trick.

It always did.

Aki-chan's eyes hardened.

"I'll go." She whispered; her voice filled with hatred.


Kai turned around the corner, not really paying attention to where he was going, scarcely noticing the loud "OMPH" and the soft thud of a pretty blonde girl falling to the floor.

"Hey baka! Help me up!" She told him crossly, he glanced back and noticed her on the floor. He lent her a hand and she stumbled up and pulled her skirt down crossly.

He turned to leave her; Aki scowled, she wasn't going to let him get away that easily. She widened her eyes, in the bimbo look, something every blonde was well known for.

"Oh my god! You're Kai Hiwatari! OH MY GOSH I SO can't believe it!" She squealed, her voice dripping in her actors voice.

He scowled at her as she latched onto his arm and dragged him away from his predestined path.

"I like totally didn't know who you were I'm so totally sorry like you know?" She carried on, knowing fine well that he didn't want to.

"Will you let go?" He growled quietly.

Where's that bloody cat when you need it? He questioned silently as she dragged him.

She spotted raven hair and turned to Kai. Her eyes suddenly glimmering with something, her whole stance more seductive as she pressed her body on his, he was too stunned to move for a moment before going to push her off him. He let out a growl as she effectively positioned herself so it looked like he was al over her and not the other way round.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" He asked her with a scowl.

"Pucker up Kai." She whispered, smiling softly as she kissed him gently on the lips. His eyes widened slightly as he pushed her away, his face a mask of anger and rage.

"What the hell? Who the fuck are you?" He asked her.

She smirked, not scared at all.

"Oops, looks like your sliver phoenix saw our little kiss." She murmured gently, so only he could he. He looked up, his slate eyes full of an emotion he'd never felt before – panic.

Sure enough, the hurt look in beautifully fragile lilac eyes stared back at him, full of the hurt of a betrayal. Her stance shocked as he began to stumble towards her, his mind numb.

"Isis!" He called, not noticing the blonde girl fall back and allow him to run after his hurting girlfriend – he was determined not to let her be an ex.

She backed away, horror written over her face as she blinked, moist tears spilling onto her cheeks as they spilled from over flowing eyes. A blanket of raven hair whipped back as she turned into a run.

"Isis!" He called out once more, only to watch her accelerate as she ran from him.

She carried on running until she eventually stopped and sunk to the ground, sobbing wretchedly as she hid her face in her hands, though still clutching something in one of her hands.

"Isis…" He trailed off as she stumbled to his knees next to her, not knowing what to do about the heartbroken girl next to him. "Isis… Isis I'm sorry" He mumbled, though clear enough for her to hear.

She stopped crying for a moment and stared at him hard, her reddened eyes that were harden with hate softened with hurt. She fell back and stumbled back onto her feet, shaking her head as tears began to fall down her face.

"Kali… Kali… Kali was right about you wasn't she?" She half shouted half sobbed her words out. "You… You…" She pointed her finger at him in an accusing manner as her heart bled pitifully in her breast.

"I wasn't me who-"

"Don't lie to me Hiwatari! I saw you there!" Her voice cracked slightly as she remember him, his arms around that… she could face it.

"I-" What could he say?

"You bastard, I thought you loved me…" She whispered, her soft words, no longer unclear from grief, cut through him like a knife. "I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME HIWATARI!"

She turned to leave him when he spun her around. Taking hold of both of her upper arms in the firm grim of his hands as he leant into her, kissing her softly on her lips; he felt her melt into him and he let go of her, letting her fingers run through his two tone hair, sending up shivers of delight throughout both of them.

He gently nipped her bottom lip, begging for and entrance as his arms slid around her back, he wanted her back, so badly…

To his surprise and distress he felt her pull back and shake her head subtly, her eyes cast to the floor as she tried escape from his grasp.

"I'm going back to England tomorrow, I didn't know whether I should or not… but now…"

She looked directly into his eyes, staring for what seemed to be a lifetime before kissing him lightly on the lips.

"You've played with my heart too much Hiwatari. I'm not a toy and the love I had for you…" Tears formed as she smiled brokenly. "I hate you so much Kai. I hate you."

Those last words struck him hard, he'd never… no… Isis…

She kissed him lightly on the lips again before freeing herself from his now limp grasp. His crimson eyes unable to comprehend the amount of emotions that flooded through him at such an intensity it was making him dizzy.

She hates me…

I've had a lot of people ask about the ghost at the shrine, however this is completely up to you, after all, in Japan they ask their ancestors for things so really It's up to you, although I'd like to think of it as grandpa - but why could he be mourning for himself? Or is he mourning for someone else?

I'll let you decide.
