Chapter 1: History Walk-Through
It's been quite a few years since his father passed away and his mother was taken away. Kai was feeling empty inside aside from the hunger, he felt as if there was a hole inside of his heart. The feeling of loneliness traveled through his veins throughout his entire body. As he looked up at the clear blue sky, he was wondering when his heart will stop hurting.
"Ky-le-chan, what's wrong? Are you worrying about being flat-chested again?" Kiko looked towards Kai and with one of her fingers pointed at Kai's chest.
"No, I just develop later than other girls." Kai replied with an expressionless face.
"If I didn't know any better, I really think you're a guy; with your not-so-girly-voice, being flat-chested and not wearing any skirts. Not even the uniform for school! Of course, there are no male Hiwatari left therefore, making you a girl! Opps… Sorry."
Kiko apologized as she realized what she had said.
Kai looked down at the uniform he was wearing; he requested specifically that he didn't want to wear any skirts (which his mother told him to do when he was younger). Of course, the school accepted his request; pitying him and all. Kai didn't want to be pity but if it makes it easier for him, he's not going to complain. "Tomorrow's d-day. I'm going to go visit his grave." Kai replied silently.
"Do you want me to come or are your other friends going?" Kiko asked silently and settled her chopsticks to balance on the edge of the bento.
His other friends separated after the world champions. Rei was in his hometown; China while Tyson, Max and the Chief remained in Japan attending their local schools. It's been three months since they all got together. No one on the team knew that he was a girl except for Mr. Dickinson. It turned out his parents had an alliance with him and they had informed him about the situation and request after they learnt of Voltaire's threat to the family. Under special care and arrangements, Kai beybattled throughout the past three years and was known as one of the best Beyblader around. He discovered he had friends that cared about him although, that doesn't necessarily mean that he opened up to anyone except for Kiko. He always had felt close to her; the first time he laid his eyes on her as he stepped into his homeroom. Perhaps, it was because of her bouncy and cheerful attitude or simply because she was a girl.
"… doesn't matter if you come or not. You want to, you can." Kai replied once again with an expressionless expression on his face and tone.
"Sure. It'll be great to see the guys again." Kiko said as she finished her food silently. When the bell rang; signaling for the end of the period, they both walked back to class silently; neither one of them saying a single word.
During the night, Kai woke up; all sweaty. He dreamt that he was alone, in a pitch black world with no light shining through whatsoever. The only available light was the red light shining from these pointing fingers, combined with the never ending chants of 'it's entirely your fault!'. It's been a few years since Kai had this dream but whenever it was near his father's death date, the dreams reoccur again. Taunting and haunting him in a never ending cycle. He never told anyone about this dream yet he wanted someone to know. Someone whom he can share the pain with, help him and comfort him. The next morning, he dressed in black and his chauffer took him to the site where he was meeting with Kiko and his other friends. As he approached the gates where the cemetery lied ahead, he saw Tyson, Max and Kiko at the front talking.
"Kyle, how have you been?" Tyson asked cheerfully when he saw Kai approaching them.
"… been better." Kai replied. "Where's the Chief?"
"He's not feeling well. It's been ages since we last saw you, seems like you got skinner! On a diet for a pretty dress?" Max teased with a small smile on his face.
"Sure. Let's go." Kai replied as he went towards his father's grave. His father's grave perched on top of a nice small hill. The Hiwatari family spent a small fortune on it to make it look outstanding yet simple like the rest of the residents living there. "Father, I have come again. Your daughter; Kyle. How has it been?" Kai said as he kneed down towards the base of the stone and brushed away some leaves that had fallen onto the stone from the wind.
"Mr.Hiwatari, Kyle's been so good this year. You be so proud of her." Kiko said as she placed her right hand on Kai's left shoulder. "Thanks for looking over her all this time and blessing us with the chance to meet her."
"Dad… I wish you didn't go so quickly. Mom suffered a lot. I lost you and mom. Dad, I have kept Dranzer well for the past few years, ever since twelve. The only thing I have to remember you and mom by." Kai had discovered his dad's birthday present to him when he was packing and cleaning the house after his mom was taken away. He knew immediately that it was a Beyblade and in a special box that came with the blade laid the Dranzer chip. His father had told him that Dranzer had been in his family for generations when he was younger and he decided to pass it onto him.
Neither one of the bystanders spoke a word, they have never seen Kyle showed as much emotions as now. They knew about her family's troubles and history; from the newspapers and news. It was international news and they could not feel anything but the feeling of being useless; unable to help their hurting friend.
"Flowers." Kai asked as Kiko handed him the white roses. "I'll come visit you soon, after winter has passed. Good bye father, and don't worry too much about mom, she's doing fine." Kai said as he stood there for a moment; full of silence. The others stood beside him and stood there silently for awhile before turning to leave.
Kai was in deep thought, memories of his mom being taken away burned his visions yet he didn't quite remember as much about the event that took his father away. Every time he tried to remember it, his head would hurt and would result in a great headache. He clutched his blade harder, the sharp blades dug into the palm of his hands. However, Kai didn't notice the pain; he was in deep thought with visions of his mother being taken away until…
"KYLE! LOOK OUT!" Kiko yelled as Kai looked up and saw a shiny sword right above his head. He quickly dodged to the right and avoided the quick swift of the blade. The owner of the sword was a masked individual with two small eyes looking directly at Kai. The masked figure continued to look at Kai for several more seconds before vanishing into the nearby bushes.
"Are you okay?" Tyson asked as he ran towards Kai with concern.
"Hm, yea. Thanks." Kai responded as he walked towards his car where his chauffeur was waiting. Kai did not know why and how the masked figure was here but he was certain of one thing; the masked figure was after him.
