Hey people soz it took so long to update butwith xmas & my b-day on the 30th of December it was puton hold for a while, I'm also sorry that my first chapter had mistakes in it like missing spaces, spelling, and missing wordsbut i was excited about my first fan fic.

A big thank you to my four reviewers Kirara Cutie, Hilariberri Star, Crystal-light-27, & Animelover6000. thankyou for your reviews they are deeply appreciated, especially (i can't spell) hilariberri star whoswallowed her pride to read my first chapter! Thank you all !

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade and ifI didI would sell everything except Kai and Tala & maybe Ray.

NOTE:I made up the inheritance laws and Kai & Voltaire being half japenese half Russian so please don't sue me...Actualy anything about russia, russians, Japan or japenese is probably made up.

Walking With You.

Inheritance Laws

Ray saw that Kai was finding it hard to sit up, so adjusted the bed so Kai could lean back. Kai relaxed onto the bed and smiled slightly at Ray, as he winced in pain (moving hurt a lot).

"Ray?" Kai asked.

"Uh huh."Came Ray's vague reply.

"Ray I need to ask you something."

"Yeah Kai, what is it?"Ray said turning tolook at him.

"I think my grandfather's after me."

"Why?"

"When I was defeated by Brooklyn and lost my place at BEGA, I was sleeping on the streets. I'd walk around during the day, and I kept hearing people talking in Russian (he's fluent in Russian so understood). Talking about my grandfather, saying that they had to kill 'the boy'before he turned 17 on the 21st December...My birthday."

"Why would Voltaire want you dead?" asked Ray a little concerned.

"Because when I turn 17, in Russian inheritance law I inherit everything left to me in his will, even if he's still alive, & he can't change his will so i don't get anything & he can't refuse to give it to me either, & the only option left is to have me killed."

Ray looked puzzled.

"In Russia when you turn 80 you can't change your will, I know its a bit twisted but I didn't make the rules.# Yeah I know you didn't Kai becuase I did being the crazy& twisted person I am# And as soon as you turn 82 the inheritors or inheritor in mt case, inherits everything left to him or her in the will soI inherit everything in the will, becauseI'm theonly inheritor. I would have inherited it 2 years ago butI wasn't alowdbecause in Russia I was too young."

Ray stared blankly at Kai.

"Most peoplein Russia don't live past the age of 82 because of the cold, and it's a good way of getting rid of things, Russians usually have alot of stuff you see so this way they can get rid of it."

"Oh!" Ray understood (at last) . "But how come Voltaire is 84 ?"

"1) he's rich 2)he lived in Japan most of the time 3)he looked after himself better than most in Russia4) he's not actually Russian and 5) he's filthy rich!"

Ray looked shocked & confused at the same time.

"If he's not Russian, what's up with the russian inheritance law thing!"

"He's not Russian but he is a Russian citizen and has owned lots of houses over there for a long time. But in Japan he was only there for a couple of weeks at a time and kept moving."Kai said simply.

"Oh, and what about you, are you russian or not?" Ray asked a little confused.

"I'm half Russian half Japanese, and a citizen in both countrys but I live in Japan and was brought up here so I follow the Japenese inheritence laws, but still benefit from the Russian ones."

"But I thought you grew up in the Biovolt Abbey with Tala."

"Yes I did but I have lived in Japan with my grandfather longer than I have lived in Russia with Tala, and I'm currently living in Japan. "

"So let me get this straight, your grandfather, Voltaire, is trying to kill you so you don't inherit anything in his will. Right?" Ray said slowly.

"Right."

"And your grandfather is not russian but is a russian citizen, and you are half russian, half japenese and a citizen in both countries. Am I right so far?"

"Uh, huh."

"And Voltaire has to kill you before the 21st of December, which is when you turn 17. Is that everything?"

"Pretty much."

Kai turned his head slightly to the left to look at Ray. -Is Ray ready for what I'm about to do, because I hope so, I don't want to do it alone!-

Ray looked up to see Kai looking at him thinking, Ray felt his heart tingle & flutter as the bluenette continued to stare, and not his usual stare which is actually more of a death glare come to think of it. Kai was looking at him as if trying to decide something. Apparantly making up his mind Kai opened his mouth and said.

"Ray I'm not sure if your ready to hear this or not but if I don't tell you now, I probably never will, and then it will be too late. Here it goes. In a few weeks I'm leaving to escape from my grandfather."

" Oh...so ...we'll never meet again." Ray said stunned and heartbroken, as he looked down.

"That's not what I said or meant Ray!" Kai who had sat bolt upright at Rays misunderstanding, was now clutching his chest and gasping in pain.

"Ray looked up as soon as he heard Kai gasp, and could now see that Kai was in pain and finding it hard to breathe. Ray quickly got up and gently lowered Kai back onto the bed, and handed him the breathing mask. After a while Kai put down the breathing mask and continued.

"Ray, what I meant was that I had to leave for a while... justuntil I turned 17."

"Oh, so your'll come back home and stay with us, once your've turned 17, right?"

"Errr' yeah...I..."

"What,... are you not coming back or are you not staying when you do, Kai!" Ray almost shouted, he was dissapointed and angry now

"No Ray, you keep jumping to conclusions, and I hadn't finished yet...I could do that or ... you, Tyson & Max could come with me...It would seem weird without you and the guys around, plus it would be like training for the next world championships."Kai said trying to persuade him without sounding suspicious.

Ray sat in shock and thought about Kai's offer, he didn't know what to say or whether to go or not.

Kai sat and watched Ray in anticipation for Rays decision, he hoped Ray would come even if the others didn't. Kai didn't want to go alone.

Well I hope you enjoyed that although I know you probably didn't it was really boring, I know, but I hope I make the next chapter more interesting. The next chapter will probably and hopefully be more exciting too because the party at the dojobegins (dunno when it ends but I'm sure it's gonnastart here).

Sorry that I repeated myself in the story but I thought it might make it clearer.Sorry if it was boring or spelled wrongor wrong in some other way.

So wil Ray go with Kai, will the party start, will Max and Tyson get together and when will I include my made up character?

Who knows!

The more reviews I get the quicker I will update!
