Okay! People are really beginning to like this story… whoa… who knew… Let's answer those couple of reviewers shall we…

Bluestray- OMG, we did kill Lee! I'm a bastard! WOOT! Those questions, are what you're gonna have to find out yourself!

Dark Wolf- NO! NOT A HARDCOVER OXFORD DICTIONARY! O well… I don't have anymore brain cells anymore anyways… it's summer break! My advice, trying throwing a Second Edition of the Webster Dictionary at someone's head, that thing weighs 12 lbs. on a scale! Hm… Kai's an assassin, he loves Mariah, and he IS a boy… so I think he's all three. DISCLAIMER!

Disclaimer- I do not own Beyblade. If I did, Kai and Mariah would be a couple.

Chapter 5- I'm the assassin

Kai woke the next morning in the middle of a dirty hallway in his family's mansion. His clothes were covered in dust, cobwebs, and blood from yesterday's murder. He looks at his blood-covered hands and balls them up in a fist until the dried blood cracked off and revealed his white knuckles.

"I-I… murdered… Lee…" Kai muttered in disbelief. As he got up, he felt something sharp stab him in his left thigh. Kai winced as he pulled the object out his thigh and out his pocket. "N-no. I did do i-it." Kai tossed the knife across the room and hit straight into a picture of his grandfather, Voltaire.

"Damn you, grandfather." Kai began to limp over to the portrait. "Damn you to hell!" He pulled the knife out and sliced the picture of Voltaire's head off. He dropped the knife and dragged himself to a bathroom to change clothes. He stripped himself of the bloody attire and stepped into the shower. He turned on the water and it began to attempt to wash his troubles. He finally got the blood off his arms when he heard the doorbell echo throughout the house. He dried himself off and put on a dark blue shirt and a pair of jeans as the doorbell still rang. He finally went to the door and flung it open.

"WHAT!" Kai snapped at the person.

"Did I come when you're having a hangover or something?" a certain blonde turned his shocked expression to his normal happy one.

"No… I'm just… frustrated from last night," Kai began to rub his temples tiredly. He let Max in and the two sat on the least dusty couch.

"Speaking of last night," Max said, "did you hear about Lee? Newspaper said he fell from the building and was run over by oncoming traffic. They're still trying to figure out how and why he was on top of the building in the first place and how he fell."

"Really…" Kai replied, half paying attention.

"But you were at the party with his family last night, weren't you?" Kai remained silent and stared at the floor. "You must know why Lee left the party and who he left with. My bet is on that damn assassin that's been in the news all these years." Kai began to sweat and shake as Max continued to demean the mysterious assassin. "If that person ever has the guts to come out in public, I'd-"

"Shut up," Kai yelled stuttering.

"What?" Max glanced at the duo-color man.

"I said shut up!" Max stood up and began to wonder what was up with Kai.

"Why should I? You said it yourself that he didn't murder your family yet. What has happened to you over the ye-" Max began to cough for air as Kai slammed Max against a nearby wall by the blonde's neck.

"There are things…" Kai glared at Max tightening the grip on his neck, "…that someone must no and everyone mustn't find out about…" Kai's eyes began to tear up. He tried his best to hold it back, but they just fell onto his pale cheeks. "I'm… the assassin…"

Max couldn't believe his ears. His eyes widened as Kai loosened him and Max was able to breathe again. "W-why?" Kai collapsed to his knees and began to pull at his hair.

"I had to!" Kai yelled. "My father and grandfather forced me to work in their mob work, for control and money. They threatened to kill my mother and Mariah if I didn't do everything they said. Something… some device inside of my neck is controlling this sudden rage of killing the innocent. Those ten awful years in Russia, I've traveled the world, murdering those 10 rich families so my family would gain power.

"The Gates, Baldwins, Takamakis, Hiltons, Augustines, Fas, Spencers, Lings, Rowlings, and Carters gave all their money and worldly possessions to the Hiwatari Family before I killed them all off. The Wongs was the final family I had to get rid of before I was set free.

"Everything was a blur to me before I came back here to kill them. Then, I saw Mariah at the bar that evening. Every single memory from before I left Japan came rushing into my mind. I slowly began remembering my grandfather, Voltaire, and his assignment he gave me. I didn't want to do it; I tried to just forget about it. Until last night…"

"What happened last night? Do you know?" Max kneeled down to me with concern in his eyes. He gestured for Kai to continue.

"When Lee invited me to the party, I was reluctant at first, but I decided to go. The evening when well, and the Wongs were glad to see me again; he was happy I was able to make Mariah happy again.

"After the dinner, Lee invited me to the top of this private building he own. He was talking to me about me not going to hurt Mariah. After that, everything was a blur to me. I woke minutes later with Bryan Pulsavki standing over me…"

"Who's Bryan Pulsavki?" Max interrupted.

"Bastard friend of the family…

"He smirked at me and congratulated me," Kai continued. "I wondered what he was talking about and he told me I finally murdered one of the four Wong family members. I didn't believe him until I looked over the edge and saw Lee's mangled body in the middle of the street. I ran and returned here…" Kai voice faded meaning that his story was finished. Max remained speechless for a brief moment before standing up.

"So… what are you going to do now?" Kai stood up as well and thought for a moment.

"I… don't know," he admitted. "I can't undo the wrong I've put onto the world." A long pause echoed throughout the house. So quiet the wind flying through the cracks in the wall were heard.

"What about that device you mentioned? Maybe you can get it detected and removed," Max suggested. "Kenny's a doctor now. He might be able to help you."

"You do that," Kai went to a nearby closet and took out a jacket. "Call Kenny for an immediate appointment."

"Where are you going?" Max began to follow him.

"I have something to take care of! Get me that appointment!" Kai demanded as he closed the door behind him. Max nodded and began calling Kenny on his cell phone.

Kai ran as fast as he could through the busy streets. He didn't care how badly he was panting or how fast his heart was racing. He had to get to the Wong's mansion. He jumped the gates and ran up the hill to reach the front door. He rang the doorbell and banged on the door in a panic. A minute later, Mariah opened the door and was surprised it was Kai in a rush.

"What is it, Kai?" Mariah's voice sounded hoarse. She has been crying over Lee's death with his parents and close family members.

"Mariah, you must listen to me," Kai placed both hands on her shoulders. "You and your family must stay together and not leave this mansion unless it's an emergency." Kai stared into her yellow orbs indicating that he was serious. "And no matter what, if anyone you do not know comes within your gate, do not let him in and call the authorities. If I come to the door and my first sentence isn't 'The Phoenix rose from the ashes' do not open the door. Do you understand?"

"Why not for you? What's going on?" Mariah's eyes were showing the love and concern they always had. Kai slipped his hands off her shoulders and held her small hands gently.

"I can't tell you now. I must go. You'll learn everything in due's time." Kai embraced her in a hug and kissed her forehead. After a minute, he let go and left the property in a rush.

"Please be careful, Kai," Mariah whispered as she closed the door. A tear dropped on the ground before the rain began to fall from the sky.
