Crii seemed to settal down to her father's touch and managed to grab his finger. "Tight grib, eh?" he laughed. Kai leaned against the crib because half his body wanted sleep were the other half wanted to stay up and watch his daughter.
"You feeling better?" he asked.
Crii just looked up with her beautiful grey eyes, that had a watery teary like look to them. "How bout tomorrow we paint those stripes on your face again? How would you like that?" he asked. Crii seemed to understand him and nodded.
"Da-"
Kai looked at Crii. "What?" he said surpised. "Da-da!" she giggled. "Oh my god! Crii!" Kai gasped. Crii giggled as she kicked her legs in excitement! "Da! Da!" she giggled.
"Okay I have to go to bed...I'll see you in the morning," he said as he freed his finger from Crii's grip. As he headed to the door Crii started to cry again. "Crii!"
"Da! Da!...Dadda!" she cryed.
Kai walked over to te crib and reached down to pick up his daughter. "I have to get some sleep Crii, I'll see you tomorrow, okay! Dadda will be back okay!" Kai said as slow as he could for the baby to understand.
He tryed to set her down but Crii grabbed his skin pinching him. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Crii that hurts!" he gasped bringing her back up near his head. He layed a gental kiss on her cheek. "I'll be back okay baby. I'll see you in the morning," Kai announced. But poor Crii still wouldn't let go.
"Okay, Crii I'll bring your crib into my room hows that?" he asked grabbing her bed and dragging it into his room.
Crii layed her head onto Kai's shoulder and yawned. "Dadda," she said in a quiet gental voice. 'Her first word how sweet is that?' Kai thought to himself. He put the crib right next to were he was sleeping and gentally laid Crii down. And to his surprise she was asleep.
He then laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. And before he knew it the alarm to his clock went off. And it was 6:00 in the morning time to go to work. He got dressed and all that stuff and picked up Crii and went to work.
He walked into the elevator. And the doors started to close.
"Wait! Stop the elevator!"
Kai pushed a button and Julia ran into the elevator. "Thanks Kai for holding the elevator," Julia said. "No Problem Miss. Banks," Kai announced.
Julia Looked to see a baby in Kai's arms. 'What! He has a child?' she thought. "Who's baby is that?" she asked just to make sure. Kai looked down at the slumbering infant in his arms. "Oh! She's mine...her names Crii Anielka Hiwatari."
Julia looked at the little blue haired baby. "I didn't know you were married!"
Kai chuckled. "Heck no! I'm not married. Crii appeared in my door step one night, and she's been mine ever since," Kai exclaimed. Julia nodded.
The door opened on the tenth floor. "I'll see you at lunch ok...I have to drop Crii off at Mariam's office." Julia nodded as the doors closed.
Kai knocked on the door and waited. Seconds later Mariam opened the door. "Oh Hi Mr. Hiwatari and little Crii!" Kai handed Crii over to Mariam. "Have a nice day Mariam and take good care of my Crii," Kai then walked to the elevator and got in.
Mariam looked at Crii. "Now...what should we do today?" Mariam then noticed the blue stripes on Crii's cheeks. "I haven't seen those stripes in a long time...Kai never had that face paint on in work...brings back memories, well to me that is...all you need is a scarf."
mariam then had an idea. "That's it Crii!" She looked at the baby's grey eyes. "We'll get you a beautiful white scarf like your father had back then!"
Crii giggled and clapped her hands. So with that Mariam and Crii left the Hiwatari Building and downtown. mariam then came to a shop that sold fabric. But they didn't sell ny of the rich pure white silk fabric any where.
"Gosh this is harder that I thought?" Mariam gasped. But then she found white fabric in the window of an old store. "Yes!" she gasped.
Mariam and Crii walked into the store to see an ld man. "Why hello miss what can I do for you today?" he asked. "I'd like to buy that white scarf in the window," Mariam asked. The man nodded. "Did you see how much money it was? The sign says $1,000" the man said.
Mariam starred at the man. "$1000! What! I don't have that money! Why is it that much anyway?" she asked. The man took a deep breath. "Cause...it belonged to someone famous long ago...all this stuff here in this shop belong to one BeyBlade team long long ago," the man said.
Mariam looked at the scarf then at the man. "What famous Blader owns a white scarf that would caust that much?" she asked. The man took another deep breath.
Mariam then noticed a red yin-yang headband. A red and blue baseball cap. Lots of blue face paint. Big bulky brown gloves. And the weird thing she saw what a pair of orange overalls. Then a pair of green arm bands.
"What! The BladeBreakers! That's the team! I work for kai Hiwatari of the BladeBreakers! And! And This is his daughter!" Mariam gasped. The man laughed. "Trust me I would know if Kai was married and he isn't! Cause I! I am Mr. Stanley Dickenson!" the man laughed.
"No trust me this is his daughter! He's not married but this is to his daughter! Crii Anielka Hiwatari!"
Mr. Dickenson looked at the child and then at Mariam. "And I know you! Your Mariam Ten! The one Lil Maxxie had a crush on! THe one who owns Sharkrash right?" she asked.
Mariam nodded. "YESSS!...Wait!...Max Tate liked me? Oh well he's married now and that was a long time ago! But please can I have that scarf, I only have $100 dollars on me right now!" The man seemed like he was thinking for a while. "Well...okay since your also a blader and you work for the owner of the scarf and since this is his, uh...daughter," Mr. Dickenson said.
Mariam smiled as she looked at Crii who was also smiling. "yeah! Crii wait till Kai sees you rapped up in his and I mean his old white scarf," she giggled. Crii laughed and put her hands together. "Well here you go Miss. Ten, and tell Kai I said hi okay," Mr. Dickenson announced. Mariam handed over the $100 dollars and nodded. "I will sir! I will!"
As she walked out the door she rapped the soft white scarf around Crii's small body. "Wait till your father sees you and the scarf from his past!" she laughed.
As soon as Mariam and Crii made it to the Hiwatari Building Kai was already on the first floor getting papers. "Kai! Kai! Guess was Crii and I found!" Mariam gasped funning towards him. The older bluenette turned around to see a pair of green eyes and a pair of grey eyes that were barley seen through the white blanket wrapped around her. "What Mariam? And why is Crii wrapped up from head to toe in a blanket?" he asked. Mariam rolled her eyes.
"Not just any blanket Hiwatari and it isn't a blanket it's a scarf I found down town. And I think you'll recongnize it!" Mariam unwrapped the long white scarf and showed it to Kai. "Remember this! Crii and I found it!"
Kai looked at the scarf, speechless! "It's...m-my scarf, from the Breakers! What! Where'd you find it!" he asked. Mariam laughed. "Mr. Dickenson says hi and you owe me $100 dollars! Not! Just kidding!" Mariam laughed.
Mariam then placed Crii on the ground and Mariam tied the scarf around Kai's neck. "Wow! That warm feeling around my neck brings back memories," Kai whispered. Then a tug was felt and Kai looked down.
There on the floor Crii who held the end of the long white scarf and pulling on it. Mariam and Kai both laughed looking at the little girl. "Well boss, you better get back to work and I better get back to watching little Miss. Crii Hiwatari! So see yah," Mariam said picking up Crii and leaving.
"Hey wait! Were are you going?" Mariam asked just aas she was about to get into the elevator. "Julia invited me to go to dinner with her...so I'm meeting her down here to leave, I just came down here early for some reason," Kai said. Mariam's smile turned to a frown. "Oh...Okay see you later then."
Mariam walked into the elevator and as the doors shut she saw Julia show up and both her and Kai walked out of the building hand in hand. A tear managed to escape from her eye. Crii look up as the tear hit her forhead. The little hand reached up and brushed it's tiny fingers against Mariam pale chin.
Mariam smiled. "It's fine Crii...I'm okay," she announced softly as the door elevator door opened. Crii rested her head against Mariam's shoulder and gribbed onto the jacket she was wearing.
