A groan of pain rebounded off the cold hard walls, sending chills to all who heard it. Menacing laughter followed the pain stricken cry shooting fear threw the hearts of the ones who were listening. Kai shot up in his bed, the groan had woken him, he knew that groan it was so familiar...Oh know not her! The thought pierced through him as he jumped out of bed and quickly pulled on his shoes.

As he dashed out the door he grabbed his Dranzer blade not sure of what trials lay ahead. When he stepped outside the icy cold wind pierced him like daggers, it was so cold. He heard more laughter and took off at a dead run towards the far off room he knew it was originating from. After awhile of running hard he heard pounding of feet but it wasn't his own, actually it was numerous people.

He quickly turned to see the other boys running up behind him; they must have heard it too. He thought as he turned his attention back to the distance still left between him and his destination. Soon they were running at his heels all with anger written across their face. Kai looked over at the two on his left, the ice king himself Tala Valkov, running hard next to him was the tough falcon, Bryan. He turned and looked to his right noticing Spencer cursing under his breath as he ran, that's Spencer for ya, kai thought dully as he ran.

They four skidded to a halt outside the bedroom door, the looked at each other and nodded and then Kai hastily kicked the door open. Horror tore threw them after first glance, Boris was standing tall whip in hand, and on the ground below him was a bloody motionless figure.

Kai stood there stunned, looking from Boris to the figure and back again. He heard Tala began to swear behind him, and knew Bryan and Spencer were quietly doing the same. "Boris" the young boy sneered, "what are you doing in here it's the middle of the night." his eyes shot dangerous glares at the man.

"I would watch my tone if i were you, Kai. Or you might find that you could share the same fate." Boris grinned as he looked down at the small fragile heap on the floor.

"You better not hurt her!" Tala blurted out, clenching his fists into tight balls causing his knuckles to turn white with strain.

"Hurt who?" Boris teasingly played dumb irritating to the boys to their wits end.

"You know wh-" Tala started but stopped short, they all heard the sickening moan come from the injured girl.

"Kami?" Kai asked pushing past Boris and falling to his knees by her side. "Kami?" he repeated shaking her lightly, "Can you hear me, come on Kam answer me. Please say something...anything?" his voice having a desperate note mixed in with the worry.

"eh. Kai?" a soft quiet voice called back.

"Kami!" Kai felt relieve rushing over him like waves, he turned and smiled at Tala, Bryan, and Spencer who quickly returned the grin.

"Get out of my way!" Boris yelled angered pushing Kai to the floor; he roughly grabbed the small child by the shoulders and shook her with his ferocious nature. "You little brat! How dare you refuse to answer me but then come out and talk to these ingrates!" his face twisted in anger and he raised his had slapping the girl across the face.

Kami let out a small whimper and then fell the rest of the way to the floor from the force of Boris's blow. She slowly opened her eyes revealing the light violet orbs that had darkened with her anger. Boris glared at her and then turned to walk out pushing past the surprised boys, just as he stepped out the open door he heard a small muffled voice.

"Your w-wrong." Kami struggled to stand up while breathing in harsh breaths of air.

"What are you talking about you worthless little wretch?" Boris turned and walked back towards the (in his view) annoying pest.

"They ar-are N-NOT ingrates!" she hissed spitting out the words as she winced at the pain ripping threw her body.

Kai and Tala exchanged looks, both stunned. Kami was terribly hurt and still she insisted on defending them and their pride.

Boris was infuriated, "You little bitch! How dare you speak to me that way! Did you forget who I am?" he spat the words out as he stepped closer, raising his fist as he walked.

He got close enough and grabbed her by the front of her now bloody and tattered shirt, picking her up off the ground. Just as he was about to properly punish her he felt a stinging sensation in his leg; he looked down to see Kai sinking his sharp teeth into his leg. He cried out in pain and threw the weak girl into the wall, he reached down and grabbed Kai by his neck and pulled him up to eye level. Boris was about to hit the slate haired boy but was stopped before he landed the blow by the pounding of feet.

"Boris? Boris sir, we have a problem and you're needed in the front office immediately!" A guard known as Wit ran into the room just in time.

"What is it? Doesn't anybody realize that I am busy!" he yelled before dropping Kai to the ground, he turned to the door stopping to glare at the bunch, "We'll finish this later!" he smirked before leaving the room slamming the door shut behind him.

Kai sighed with relief before he stood up and walked over towards his young friend, "Hey Kam, you ok?" Kai asked taking a seat next to the small fragile girl. He turned his head as he heard Tala, Bryan, and Spencer walking up behind him also taking a seat next to their female friend.

"Sorry guys I didn't mean to yell so loud, I didn't want you to get in trouble too. It just...it just hurt so bad." she winced squeezing her eyes together tightly so as not to let her tears fall.

Kai quickly held his finger up to Kami's lips, "Sshhh. Don't be stupid Kam, if we hadn't of come Boris probably would've killed you." he smiled lightly, while shushing her.

"Sometimes I wish he would've." she whispered silently into the night.

"Don't say that!" Tala moved closer rolling down beside her, "what would we do without you."

"Besides your part of the team." Bryan chimed in, Spencer nodding quietly behind him.

Kami managed a weak smile as the pools of tears overwhelmed her and streaked down her pale cheeks. Kai quickly wiped them away with a soft finger, "It's okay Kami, it's okay." he whispered while he pulled her head up into his lap and pushed a few stray of hairs out of her face.

"It's okay."

A/N

Yeah I know that Kai left the abbey long before he turned 12 but I had to make it work and don't worry all will still work out with the original story from the show, meaning he'll be back in time to start up the notorious "Blade Sharks"

Anyway…..

So what did you think? Like I said before I decided to write this cause I couldn't find anywhere to add this into my other story, All for the sake of love, so this great idea occurred to me...why don't I just write a whole different story about Kamia's past...this helps to explain why she is the way she is in the other fic. Well talk to ya all next chapter!
