LADY NINTENDOOOOOOOO! HERES THE CHAPTER! (pant, pant) ok, I dedicate this to PureBlackRaven, Sugar911, animasha92, HeartlessDevil, Spirit Of Innocence and of course, Lady Nintendo.

Some of the information in here might be changed or definetly nothing to do with the real story, but you guys get the idea.

By the way, I think LN asked me, how long do readers have to wait until I update soon? Well, the answer is, about 8 days. I will be updating almost every Sunday, unless I have something important to do. Well, that's all! Enjoy the chapter!

2011 A/N: So yeah, apparently after I posted this, I started taking longer than 8 days to update; suddenly important things started happening, which prevented me from writing anything during the week in order to just edit it and upload on Sunday (I didnt have internet back in the day; I had to go to a computer lab lol) So it seemed deliberate that I was taking longer and longer... MORAL OF THE STORY: never promise anything unless you know you can keep your word. I still apologize to those readers that emptied their Sundays to read this because they were waiting for it... u_u

"I really don't remember anything about my past. What I do remember though, is only disaster. Everything is bad. My childhood is forgotten. I don't even remember what my parents look like, if I have any. My grandfather adopted me… that's practically what he said. My childhood was somehow erased off my mind, and right now, I'm trying to remember what happened back then, that Voltaire just had to appear out of nowhere. He told me he was my grandfather, and adopted me, according to him I accepted. By then though, I already had my Dranzer." He looked down at Dranzer, sighted and continued.

"After I came in to my grandfather's house, I noticed a big change in his behavior. He experimented on me and Dranzer, said it was for the best of us. I was in an abbey, with some other boys. That's were I met Tala Ivanov."

Suki's eyes widened. He meant to say HE knew Tala since he was a boy?

"We got along well… in the beginning. But when Voltaire started showing preference for me, some kind of hatred developed between us. I couldn't blame him; we were all supposed to be treated equally. But being considered perfect wasn't a good thing. Not when Voltaire was around. With preferences came more training, more yelling, and more pressure. Every time I caught up to him, he'd somehow move a lot more forward. We had to do more than what out bodies really could do. In that place, we were not allowed to show any feelings. We couldn't show happiness on our victories, and we couldn't show sadness on our failures. We just had to be constant." Kai moved his hand up and down, to some kind of beat, making her understand that the beat was like he had to be.

"After wards, I was forced to say farewell to my blade and give the welcome to the Black Dranzer. Black Dranzer was a bit-beast whose power depended on the skills of the blader. I have to say I was a talented and powerful blader, therefore when I launched Black Dranzer, I practically destroyed half of the abbey. The memory scared me so much, that I suppressed it and forced myself to forget it. It was horrible the way Voltaire only thought of winning, and how he used me to accomplish his victory.

"If we didn't satisfy his desires, he'd beat us up. Not him himself, but some men that were there as well to serve him in whatever way he wanted to punish us. We weren't allowed to shed a tear, otherwise, the punishment would be twice as worse; he was going insane. Dranzer suggested I keep my distance, and I figured she was right. So I ran away, before I actually became just like him. Unfortunately for me, I had inherited one of his traits; I was power hungry and I wanted to become the best/most powerful beyblader in the world. I wandered the streets alone, with no home and nobody to care for me." He paused a bit and then continued.

"I stayed like that until I was twelve. That's when I met a boy named Carlos, and we started a little gang called the Blade Sharks. It grew, bit by bit, reuniting wandering bladers from all over the world. One day, Voltaire showed up with Boris and turned them all against me, starting with my 'friend' Carlos. All the people I once trusted could no longer be trusted. I knew I wasn't meant to trust people… Something that really gets to me, is how come Ray and the others haven't been affected by my grandfather..." There was a small tear on his eye that longed to get out, but Kai held it back and continued talking.

"So I went to this witch. I asked for her to put a spell on me so I wouldn't go back to trust people. She gave me this paper, and told me to everything that was written how it said. I took it, and did everything on that piece of paper. But when the spell was completed, THIS happened." He said pointing to himself. Suki stared at him, speechless. Something about that seemed so…

"I looked at the paper to see what had I done wrong; it turns out I hadn't seen the secondary effect on the foot of the page. I didn't know what to do. I stayed hidden until night came and then I went to the witch again, seeking for her help. But when I got there, she wasn't there anymore. In fact, the place seemed to have been deserted many years before; there was dust every where, the windows broken… even a sign of demolition was on it. She had left me to deal with it alone." He paused as he swallowed very hard. Suki could tell he had a knot in his throat. It was all so…

"With time, I got to take over it. I learned how to control it, but sometimes, it's hard to hide what I really am. So when all of a sudden I disappear, I go to a quiet place and let it out a bit."

"How come?" asked Suki.

"Well, trying to hide who one really is gets tiring after some time."

"What is this 'it' you speak of?" She asked, already guessing the answer.

Kai thought about it. "It's more of a … demon. A fire demon." He said choosing the words carefully. Then he nodded. "Yeah, it's a demon."

Kai saw Suki staring at him. But she wasn't scared; instead, she seemed to have this weird expression on her face. It seemed to be sympathy. A strange smile crawled up to her eyes, and stayed there, wandering her face.

"When I was little, I used to be what anybody would call perfect." She said, looking at a bee buzzing by. "So much, that I hardly had any friends. Everyone thought they were less than me. They felt they were trash every time they were compared to me. It was just so unfair to see everybody enjoying the company of friends, and I was just a loner… I longed to have friends. But when I met new people, I gave away half of my biography and my secrets… next thing I know, the entire school knows how I fantasized with being a famous rock star. So I also seeked help with a witch. She told me exactly what she told you, and the exact same thing happened to me."

Kai looked at her, his eyes were wide open. Did she mean to say…?

"When I took hold of it, I tried to tell people what happened, but they thought that perfectness had gotten to my head. They ignored me, and eventually, I became the Freak of the school. Now people had reasons to hate me; they thought I wanted even more attention, which of course, wasn't true. I found out I couldn't rely on my family. Mother and Father only smiled when I told them about it; Kambei would laugh and say what the school kids said, and Ishuzo was much too young to comprehend what I was going through. The only one that believed me was Odeon, but only because she's my bit beast and because I showed her." Suki stood up and looked down at Kai, who looked up at her with a confused expression.

She closed her eyes tightly and concentrated. All of a sudden, she fell to the floor face up. Kai looked at her, wondering. She gasped before she started breathing rapidly. Kai knew what she was doing now. She was going to show him…

Her back arched very high, it almost seemed she wanted to sit up, and her body was shaking worse than when she had that electric current running through her body. Her body touched the floor again with a loud thud and breathed rapidly again, making gasps that indicated her suffering. Kai crawled up to her and rested his hand on hers. "Relax… I'm right here… relax…"

She opened her eyes and looked up at him. They were full of tears. Then she turned away from him until she was face down and whispered a scream. Enormous black things came out of her back; just like Kai's, they gave away light, except hers gave dark light away…

(How is that possible? I don't know! Just go with the flow!)

They slowly took shape; they appeared to be black bird wings. She stood up. Her appearance had also changed; her hair was now completely white, her eyes where emerald green with orange pupils and her lips were a light shade of blue. She had a strange mark on her neck; it looked like something of "E", but it was curved from the bottom and it had a dot on the middle of it.

"Tala wanted me because he found out about my ability. He also mentioned you." She said. "Said he wanted to share my genes with people who deserved them. I buried them, by the way."

Kai smirked and stood up. He walked towards where they had been sitting down, and bent down. When he stood up, Suki noticed he had a rose in his hand; the one that had been missing on her bush. He handed it to her, and when she touched it, a red light emerged from the core. A ghostly figure appeared; it was a woman. Pretty old, by her wrinkles, and silvery hair. They instantly recognized her. She was the witch that had given them the curse.
