Punker: I don't own but I am tired!

Chapter 2!

Kai looked after the door the little girl had departed through. "Sakiko" mumbled Kai looking at the beyblade in his hand.

Through out the night they learned nothing but many of Tyson's friends had arrived due to the storm it had taken them a while. "Well how did it happen?" asked Hilary once she had arrived with the White Tigers.

"We don't know the details, yet" said Max patting Ray on the shoulder. Kai sat motionless in his chair. Suddenly Kai stood and all the others stopped talking. "I need some air" he said and walked out.

Not really caring where his feet took him Kai found himself in the pediatrics ward. It was really late but most of the children were still awake and Kai noticed they were watching the first world championships of the BBA. Kai turned to leave when a voice called out to him.

"Excuse me are you Mister Hiwatari?" a young red haired woman asked. Suddenly a roar of laughter and cheering erupted from the room the children were in.

"Would you mind coming and talking to the children?" she asked pleadingly. Kai was about to decline and leave but thought about what Tyson would have said.

"Sure I have a couple of minutes" said Kai following the red headed nurse into the room.

"Kai is the best blader around!" yelled a young girl with bandages over her feet and near her was a wheel chair.

"Not as good as Tyson!" shout one boy who was hooked up to a series of monitors.

"I'd give anything to be able to launch a blade like Kai" whispered a little girl about nine years old.

"I could show you a few pointers some time" said Kai surprising the lot of them. "Its Kai" wheezed a kid near the window.

Kai took the time to sign a few autographs and give a couple pointers. As he stood to leave he heard a commotion in the hall.

A flustered looking nurse hurried in, "Sakiko, please come here" she said and out of the shadows of a far corner Kai saw the same little girl who had given him Tyson's beyblade run over to the woman.

"Your parents are here" said the nurse and the child froze. "My parents?" she asked fearfully.

"Yes now come on" the lady said pushing Sakiko forward. Kai bid the children farewell nodded to the red haired woman who smiled in return.

Kai wandered a ways down the hall before he heard loud talking. "I advise you let the child stay the night and allow us to observe her." Said a doctor to a very drunk looking man and a mean looking woman.

He saw Sakiko hiding behind the nurse who had fetched her from the ward. "I ain't wasting no more money on this here brat!" spat the woman glaring at the child.

"S'right" said the drunken man hiccupping. "Let's go now SAKIKO!" roared the woman grabbing the girl roughly on her injured arm cause the girl to hiss in pain.

"If only I could sell you and get some money from you, you're so worthless always costin' me money and you always waste your time on that foolish sport what's it called Beyhookin" The nasty woman said dragging the poor child along.

"Its Beyblading Ma" said the girl angered by her mother's word. The woman stopped fast and struck hard and fast at Sakiko's face.

"Don't you go talkin' to me like that, you hear!" she screeched.

Kai waited for the Man to do something but wasn't too shocked when he laughed and took a swing from a bottle in a brown paper bag.

Kai saw the girls eyes had no hope and were cold to the world not how her eyes had been when giving him Tyson's blade but like his and he had to stop it.

"Excuse me, I'll adopt your child name your price?" said Kai coming out of no where startling the two adults.

Sakiko starred and didn't know what to say or do.

"Well?" asked Kai impatiently. The man got a greedy gleam in his eye, "A thousand" he said smugly assured Kai couldn't pay so much on the spot.

Kai pulled out a grand slapped the wad of cash in the mans hand took Sakiko's hand she had the papers in the other and walked in the opposite direction.

Sakiko looked up and pulled away about to speak, "Say nothing" said Kai looking at her. "We'll talk later" he said and he walked up to the red head nurse explained the situation.

The nurse nodded and led Sakiko off and Kai returned to the waiting room. Where he returned to the horror of waiting and allowing Time its freedom.
