8. Trouble
It had been a year now from that fateful day and Alex's horrendous stay in the hospital. The man was pained by the loss of his wife and son but overlooking these facts he did his best to raise his daughter.
He was overjoyed that he had not lost her however when she began to constantly ask, "Where's mommy and Kai?" The memories shot back in a rush of sorrow.
Alex promised himself that for her sake he would not cry as he hugged the little girl close to him.
The man sat at his desk and during his work a single tear escaped him rolling down his cheek and his blue haired daughter that looked so much like Adella asked him, "What's wrong Daddy?"
"Nothing Kayla it's a big person thing," he replied, "how about we go play a game?"
Kayla agreed and followed her father into a better suited area to play.
"No Daddy stop," she cried and she laughed and laughed ashe tickled her.
Her father stopped a smile placed on his face and Kayla was happy to see him having fun.
Daddy's been very sad ever since mommy went away he must miss her, she thought as the door to the happy household was pushed open.
"Hello Alexander," a sinister voice greeted and the man's eyes bulged as he looked upon the man he most hated his father.
"You damn bastard leave here at once," he growled with a glare of hatred.
"Now why would I leave empty handed?"
Alex thought, I'm not going to let him take her the way he took Kai I don't want to lose both of them.
"You'll have to take her over my dead body," Alex challenged his father.
"Very well that could be arranged," and Voltaire shot a hole through Alex's chest.
The man's world went black the last thing he heard was his daughter's cries, "DADDY NO!"
The little girl's face was covered in tears but there was nothing she could do not even run over to her dead father as she was dragged away ceased by her growing blue hair.
Kai's been acting strangely obedient for the past few weeks, honestly him behaving is freaky especially when it comes to him, Ben thought as he walked through the gloomy halls of the accused abbey unaccompanied.
He was alone seeing how he needed to think a bit as well as get away from Kai's freakishness and his brother and sister who werearguing with each other again. As he walked the sound of sobbing trickled to his ears and curious he followed it.
Turning a bend in the hall he stumbled upon the door to a cell. The sobbing sound appeared to come from inside the room before him and approaching the door handle he hoped that it was unlocked. To Ben's relief it was seeing how it seemed this room was somehow hidden and was nearly impossible to find unless someone was looking for it. Opening the door he allowed his eyes a few minutes to become accustomed to the darkness and then took a look around the room. It was just an ordinary cell nothing in it save for a little girl with blue hair curled up on the floor crying into her hands.
Hi there I'm Ben what's the matter," he said offering the girl a tissue.
She stared up at him with eyes bulging with fear and instead of taking the tissue she plunged a bright blue head the comfort of his chest.
"There, there it's alright," Ben soothed stroking the lengthy blue strands.
After sitting there for a few moments the girl withdrew her head and replied, "Sorry I'm Kayla I just miss my mommy, daddy and brother."
Poor thing she's so young not even four yet. Sure I know kids are brought here at an early age but a girl so young is low even for Boris, Ben thought and said, "You know you remind of someone sort of."
"I do," she asked as she dried her face with her sleeve.
"Yeah a friend of mine name's Kai."
"Is he really here? Daddy said he went away," the girl exclaimed nearly crying again.
"He's here alright I take it he's your brother then?"
"Yep," she replied happily her face lighting up with a sweet little smile.
"Well I have to go now if I can I'll try to get Kai down here I can't really make any promises though," Ben said and turned leaving little Kayla in the darkness alone again.
Ben returned to find Bryan and Bree still locked in a shouting match.
"Man Kai have they been at the whole time?"
"Yep it's beginning to get really annoying," he replied looking at his blade for lack of anything better to do.
"Wanna battle?" Ben asked drawing out his own Beyblade.
"Sure why not," the younger boy replied the two bladers launching their blades.
Blue and red matched the streak of purple that rammed together. Kai seemed to have the upper hand his fire attacks pushing Ben's beyblade back.
The casual non competitive battle startled the attention of the remaining purple haired kids and seeing her brother nearing the ropes Bree encouraged, "Come on Ben you can do it."
His sister giving him the strength to pounce back Ben called out the amethyst dragon that resided in the spinning top. So unexpected and out of nowhere the mighty beast sent Kai's Dranzer to the air winning a come from behind victory.
Ben grinned and outstretched his hand, "Good match dude."
"Yeah you too and what do you know they've finally stopped bickering," Kai replied sporting a grin of his own.
A red head running up to the group Tala grabbed Kai's arm and said, "Come on Boris wants to see you right away."
"Man do I really have to," Kai complained.
"Yeah now come on before he loses his temper."
"Fine I'll see you guys later," Kai replied and with a wave allowed Tala to drag him off.
The two boys stood in front of the evil Boris and with a glare Kai barked, "So what the hell do you want?"
"Don't speak to me in that tone Hiwatari I've brought you here so I could extend to you an invitation to join the abbey's Beyblade team The Demolitions," Boris invited.
"I don't think so battling for you isn't my style," Kai retorted with a smirk.
"I think you will I believe your grandfather told you to do as your told unless you'd prefer me to extend the invitation to your sister once she is brought here."
"Fine whatever so long as you keep her out of this I'll do what you want," the boy replied shamefully hanging his head.
"Good boy now off to your cell."
So that's why he's been listening Boris is using his sister against him, ouch, Tala thought as the boys walked down to their cells. Parting ways they said their goodbyes saying they would hang out more the following day.
After seeing the flame haired boy carry Kai off the three siblings chatted for a while. Bree was about to engage her brother in another fight when Ben stopped her.
"Chill sis do you guys have to fight all the time?"
The girl was about to open her mouth but her twin stopped her and said, "Never mind scratch that. You know Boris has fallen off his rocker."
"Oh come on Ben anyone could tell you that," Bryan replied playfully slapping him on the back.
"No really when I went for a walk I found a little girl in one of the cells. She was just three years old you guys. It's honestly hard to believe for Boris to think this low the poor kid," Ben said sympathetically.
"You sure I don't think anyone's ever come here that young except for those of us who were born in this damn place," Bree questioned shocked herself by what her brother had said.
"Yeah and what's worse she's Kai's sister, I didn't want to say anything in front of him."
"Well you made the smart move for once he'd be devastated if he found out his sister had been dragged into this hell hole," Bryan added feeling sorry for his friend.
"No kidding, well I've gotta go take care of the nightly rounds I'll see you two boneheads later," Bree commented walking off to accomplish her duties.
Bree trudged into Kai's cell to find that he was surprisingly still awake.
"Hey you hungry," she said producing a shiny apple from her pocket.
"Where'd you get that?" He asked as his stomach greedily grumbled.
"Lifted off of the kitchens," she replied handing the juicy fruit over to the boy.
He gratefully took the apple teeth tearing into its sweet juicy core and as he ate the two friends talked.
"You've been down a lot lately Kai what's on your mind?"
"Well I guess I could tell you, I've just been thinking of home and wondering how Dad and Kayla are doing," he said with a longing sigh pausing from his meal.
"They're probably doing just fine, I know how you feel though I miss my Mom," Bree replied.
"What happened to her?"
"She died a long time ago giving birth to Ben and me," Bree replied and polishing off the apple Kai embraced her in a reassuring hug.
"You're right Bree thanks for making me feel better," Kai said releasing her from the hug.
"No problem, see you tomorrow," Bree replied and left the cell feeling a little wierded out with the hug her friend had given her.
With his friend gone Kai fell into a peaceful sleep though unfortunately for the girl she had forgotten to take away the apple core and it would cause the girl a load of trouble in the morning to come.
The following morning Bree was engaged in a set of push ups warming up for the daily training.
"BREE ANDREA BALKOV!" A voice called in fury.
Great what the hell is he so worked up about now, Bree asked herself as her father stormed up in front of her.
Her gaze finding the apple core held in the purple haired man's fist she inwardly gulped thinking, Shit.
"No daughter of mine is to help a prisoner and now you will be punished," Boris lectured hauling the girl from the room full of shocked beybladers.
How can they be his kids, I'll worry about that later besides sis and I didn't turn out too bad with the fact that our grandfather's a bastard so they probably did too, Kai thought as he dashed after his friend out the room plotting his next move as he went.
"Hiwatari back to your training," Boris growled as his hand made a mark on Bree's face.
"Don't punish her she didn't take it I did," Kai defended.
"Of course you did I highly doubt you even know where the kitchens are she on the other hand does and was on cell duty last night if I recall," Boris said his hand about to come down in another painful strike.
Before it could make contact however Kai got in Boris' way taking the blow.
With concern he looked up at her and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Yes and you shouldn't be getting yourself into my problems," Bree replied though she was happy he was there to help.
"Well little Hiwatari it seems that you need another lesson in emotions are for the weak," Boris laughed with glee finishing the beating he was giving his daughter.
"Now come along nice and quiet and I won't have to make your punishment worse of course I do love it when you children scream," Boris said overjoyed and ceasing Kai walked away from the girl who he had been so intent on harming only a moment ago.
Boris called him Hiwatari he can't be related to that bastard. The one friend I find here other than my brothers is the grandson of that fucking Voltaire, Bree thought with disgust not quite able to believe boy's heritage.
Well there you go read and review and I'll try to update and Cass I can use all the lessons I want.
