Hi guys! I wanted to post this chapter only on Thursday but I am traveling on Friday so I have a lot to prepare on Thursday so yeah, now I am posting the new chapter. No warnings for this chapter and also, I am almost finished with chapter 30 and can hardly wait to complete it. That's all; until next time, enjoy!
Chapter 23 – I have my father's blood
"Ci, are you sure you don't want to join us this weekend?"
"I'm sure Jess. You two should really go and enjoy it."
"It just won't be the same without you Ci."
"I know, but next time I promise I will join you guys, just not just the weekend. I really want to help out at the hospital, I really need to spend some time with my mother."
"It's cool, we understand. I'll take a shooter on your part."
"You better, and please CJ, use protection."
"Ciara Hiwatari, I am beyond shocked that you will think I will put myself in that position, but yeah, I have more than enough rubbers. Watch out Hampton girls, CJ is on the prowl."
"Bless the poor souls that will cross paths with you; but anyway, you two should get going. The earlier you leave the earlier you can get there and then you have more time to party. I'll miss you guys."
"We'll miss you too Ci, but yeah, let's go lover boy." The two girls hugged and then the young man joined them in a group embrace. The young woman with the sleek hair watched as her two friends got in the car and reverse out of her driveway, making their way to the Hamptons for the weekend.
Ciara Hiwatari, 17 years old and a spitting image of her father, with the same mahogany coloured eyes, two toned colour hair, same skin colour, everything of her are that of her late father. The only thing that she has of her mother is the sleekness of her hair. With her hair tied up in a messy ponytail, with a few strands covering the sides of her face and hanging loosely at the back of her neck, she has grown into a beautiful young woman. She also has her bottom lip in the right corner pierced with a very small ring piercing and it suits her perfectly. She lives with her mother, Cindy, in New York City where Cindy has opened up her own animal hospital after she finished her studies, and for the last past six years the hospital has grown from strength to strength, and Ciara loves to spend her time at the hospital as she has inherited her parents' love for animals, and wishes to follow in her mother's footsteps once she has finished high school. Twelve years has passed since the horrible events that took place in Washington involving Kai and Black Dranzer, and since then, so much has happened with everyone.
Ciara got into a Ford truck that belonged to her father and it is one of her most prized possessions. She is not interested in getting a new car, despite Cindy offering numerous times, Ciara just refuses flat out to get another car. She tries her best to keep the truck in top working condition and she has done so far a wonderful job in it. She turned the ignition and just the growling sound of the engine sent shivers through out her body. She can understand why her father bought this truck in the first place; just the power alone of the engine is enough for anyone to have a silent orgasm. She backed out of the driveway and headed for the hospital, where she wants to start with her weekend shift and to spend some time with her mother. The two women love each other very much but Cindy is sometimes so busy at the hospital, that she sometimes spends up to two days straight at the hospital without even going home; she even had built in her own little bathroom with a small bed for those hectic times, especially when it is new years and the fourth of July, with all the fireworks. In those times she receives a lot of injured animals. Ciara understands the situation completely and tries to spend as much time with her mother as she possibly can, mostly weekends.
When Ciara arrived at the hospital, she made her way straight to her mother's consultation room, however, before she could reach the room, she ran into her mother along the way, and Cindy looked very happy about something.
"Finally my baby, you are just on time."
"For what?"
"Come on; you of all people will love this surprise." Ciara followed her mother into another room, which is situated next to her consultation room, and when she entered she immediately noticed her mother's newest intern, Jason, and he was petting a brown and black coloured dog that was on a table. Jock, a 2 year male dog came into the hospital 3 months ago after being hit with a car. He made a good recovery except for his right front leg, which Cindy had to amputate because it was very badly damaged. Since then Ciara has come to love the stray dog very much, despite its disability.
"Guess what my baby? Today is the day we get to apply Jock's prosthetic leg."
Ciara could not help but to start crying over the news. "Are you serious mom? You hear that boy? Today you are getting your new leg." Ciara embraced the dog, and just like Ciara, Jock also has grown very fond of this human. Ciara stood back after holding Jock for some time and watched as her mother and Jason applied the prosthetic leg. Jason lifted Jock from the table onto the floor and then the three just watched with amazement in their eyes as Jock took his first step with his new leg. Tears were streaming from the two women's eyes as they watched Jock as he started running and jumping around the room.
"Come here boy." Jock ran to Ciara and jumped up against her, they all were just overwhelmed with happiness over the canine's new found freedom.
"I have another surprise for you my baby, but it all depends on what you say about it; how would you like it if Jock came back home with us, as in permanently?"
"Are you serious mom?"
"Only if you want to."
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course mom! Thank you so much!" Ciara gave her mother a tight hug and then again she went back to hug Jock. "You hear that boy; you are coming home with me!" Cindy just stood with a smile as she watched her daughter hug her new dog. It warms her heart to know that Ciara has the same love for animals like she has, and also like her father had.
"Why don't the two of us go home and go and show Jock his new home?"
"What about the hospital mom?"
"I think it will be able to hold a weekend without me, or what do you think Jason?"
"If anything does happen that none of us can handle, we will call you Ms Kon, so now I suggest you two get out of here and go and enjoy the weekend."
"Thanks Jason, see you on Monday."
"See you Jason."
"Bye you two." The light brown hair coloured young intern watched as his boss and her daughter left the consultation room, with Jock following behind very obediently and tail wagging all over the place. Jock got into Ciara's truck, while Cindy got into her own dark blue dodge truck, which she also uses when she has to go out for emergencies. The two women are going to spend the weekend together with their new addition to the family, as they already have four dogs at home, two cats and two parrots.
Ciara has grown up so much since and at age 17 she has already suffered so much, mostly because of her father's past, but just like Kai, she is very strong and got through all of her struggles. Cindy told her that she can change her surname but Ciara refused, saying that she is proud to be the daughter of Kai Hiwatari and there is nothing that will ever make her feel otherwise. Thousands of people witnessed the events that took place within the stadium that day, and as a result, Kai is now the most hated person in the world. So many filming companies have tried to do interviews with the family and friends of Kai, trying to find out what made Kai turn out so horrible but until now, they have all been refused. Kai may be hated by many, but by others, he has become their obsession; everyone trying to understand the enigma, of why he did what he did, and how it is possible that he has risen from the dead twice already. Kai's body has been cremated by his family and his ashes have been released in the frozen desert of Siberia. At least this time his loved ones had a body to greet and now they are sure that he is really gone for good. This time Cindy mourned his death properly and finally found the courage to say goodbye to him properly, and finally move on with her life; a life without Kai.
One night, just after Ciara turned 16, Cindy sat her daughter down and then told her the truth about her father, about how he was and how he had changed after the accident in the stadium and why be changed so much. Up until then, Cindy always tried to keep Kai in a good light for the sake of her daughter, but the moment she realised her daughter was old enough to understand it all, she came forth with the truth and did not hold anything back. Cindy still loves Kai with all her heart, even after all this time, but she cannot deny that he was evil. Ciara had a tough time in coping with it all, and accepting it all, but in the end she made peace with it all and told her mother that she doesn't care what her father did; she still loves him and she knows that he also loved her very much. It has not been easy for the two women but they are there for each other, carrying and supporting each other no matter what.
Tala's body has never been recovered from the rubble of the stadium, despite Ray telling them that he has seen his body, and that Tala is dead. The case has been investigated for so long but up until today the red head's body still not has been discovered; and as if that isn't enough, all his loved ones were greeted with the most horrible news ever after his death. When Tala was still living in Moscow, before Kai was destroyed by the sacred beasts, Tala approached his brother, Matt, and told him that if anything should happen to him in the future, something like death, that there is safe located under the floor boards of his room, right underneath his bed, and that when he opens up the safe, the police should be present. So, when that day came when Tala's brother had to open up the safe, no one was prepared for what was hidden inside that safe. Photographs and videos of the X-twins, all their victims, many of their conversations, so many things that proved that Tala and Kai were indeed the infamous serial killers that killed so many of Moscow's residents. Apparently Tala started keeping record of everything when they started out as the X-twins. Kai never had any suspicions of what Tala was doing, of how the Russian born teen kept record of everything; the location of where the bikes and axes were hidden were also given, and when the ballistic team compared the patterns of the axes and the bikes' tires, they found perfect matches on all of them.
For the loved ones of both Kai and Tala, it was like losing them all over again. To say that they were all shocked would be an understatement. Never in their wildest dreams, or nightmares, would they ever have suspected the two to be the serial killers. It soon became world news that the identities of the X-twins have been discovered and it just gave the world another reason to hate Kai even more, and joining him in that department is Tala. Within the evidence was another DVD that Tala made, where he explained it all, of how it all started, how they made jokes of evading the authority and Tala also admitted that if it was not for the fact that Kai has changed so much, they probably would have continued killing. Those were the real last words that Tala's family heard from him, and it was heart breaking to hear their beloved son and brother confess of how he enjoyed killing innocent people and that he would have continued if it was not for the unfortunate events that have happened. Both the Hiwatari and Ivanov family were in a state, including the friends of both families. Kai and Tala will forever be remembered as the heartless killers, not only in Russia, but also in the rest of the world.
Cindy and Solange threw up the moment they were told of it all. Neither of them had any idea that their boyfriends were busy with such inhumane things, slaughtering innocents at night, and afterwards come back to them, pretending to be all loving and caring. Cindy finally found a way to forgive Kai for it all and find peace within it all, and not even this horrible news were able to destroy her love for Kai. Solange on the other hand, was a whole different story. All the love she felt for Tala was replaced with pure hate and she threw away anything and everything that reminded her of Tala. Their house that they bought in Malibu she sold as quickly as she could, and moved to New York City to start over completely, and forget that she ever knew a man called Tala Ivanov; she was even glad that she had lost their baby because she did not want the child of a monster. Since then she has finished her business degree, and the Hiwatari Corporation has opened offices in New York where she is in charge. She has married one of the executives in the company, Clark Smith, and she has twin boys, Yuri Kai Smith and Scott Miguel Smith. Solange decided to give her two boys' her brothers' names in order to honour them and her husband agreed, despite knowing the past of her twin brother.
Solange and Cindy are still best friends and try their best to always see each other at least once a month, seeing as both are so busy with their work. Alec and Mila are still travelling the whole world with their businesses but the death of both Miguel and Kai has taken its toll on Alec, as he has suffered two heart attacks already, and despite the doctor telling him to travel less, Alec just cannot bring himself to becoming more steady, because that is when the memories of his sons start to haunt him, so he would rather be on the move the whole time and die of a heart attack, instead of the memories driving him insane. Mila tries her best to support her husband all the way but it is very difficult to watch her husband work himself to death. She and Alec try to visit New York as much as they can so that they can visit their only surviving child, Solange, and their three wonderful grand children.
Ray and Mariah lives in Washington DC, with their three children, Rin, Lee and Lua. Lee is the only boy between the three children, and also the oldest of them, with Lua being the youngest and the naughtiest. Ray tries his best to go and visit his sister as often as he can, sometimes without his family. Ray qualified with flying colours and is one of the best pilots in the world. He has been offered numerous jobs all over the world with different firms who want to employ him so that he can test their jets and planes, and after flying all over the world, he finally decided to settle down with his family. He is currently working in the pentagon, overseeing the recruitment and training of new pilots who are signing up for the US army, and he is happy with his new job as he gets to see his family every night. Ray was shocked upon hearing the news of the X-twins but for some reason he was not totally surprised by it. He always knew deep down that Kai and Tala could be capable of horrible things as both had that sadistic streak within in them, but despite that, he misses both of them and will never talk ill of them; he would rather not talk about either of them towards people who did not know either of the Russian born men. Ray was very worried about his sister but just as always, she has proven once again that she is a very strong woman, and luckily her daughter has also inherited those traits.
Tyson and Hilary also moved to the states after his grandfather passed away eight years ago. He and Hilary have three sons, Ginka, Matio and Goki and are trying for another child, whether it be a girl or a boy, they don't really care. When they got married, they both agreed that they want four children and so far, they already have three. Hilary became very good friends with Solange, Mariah and Cindy and the four women talk to each other at least twice a week. Hilary is a teacher but has started studying child psychology about two years ago and wants to further her studies as she has discovered that that is her true passion, children and their moods. Tyson has mastered various types of martial arts so far and hopes to further it but for that he has to travel to Japan to finish, so for now, he will just wait and continue his work as a sensei for all age groups.
When he heard the news of Kai and Tala and that they were the X-twins, he thought he was going to go crazy. He had nightmares for months on end, constantly reliving each headline that he read or watched about the X-twins when he was in Russia for the beyblading tournament, never realising that he was living under the same roof with one of the killers that caused so many headlines and death. All those times that he was upset about the victims, and Kai acting all heartless about it, was because he was the one that killed all those innocent people. The nightmares got so bad that Hilary insisted that he goes to a sleep clinic and a psychiatrist to sort out his issues so that he can forget about it and just move on from it. Tyson did as his wife told him and thanks to her, it got much better. There are a few odd nights where he has the recurring nightmares but it is nothing to be worried about. Tyson doesn't really talk to Cindy or Solange, seeing as they remind Tyson too much of Kai, and unfortunately Tyson still not has found it in himself to forgive Kai for being the cause of Max's death all those years ago. Tyson is not disrespectful towards Solange and Cindy, and both women are aware of his feelings, and they have made peace with it.
Kenny and Mary-Ann are living in Houston, Texas, where both are computer engineers at NASA. They have two girls and a boy, Lucy, Liyah and Joe. Kenny still has contact with Ray and Tyson but as not much as he wants to seeing as how busy everyone is with their own lives, but they all try their best to talk once in a while. Kenny was very calm about the whole X-twins story and no one really knows how that was possible, seeing as Kenny was always the one that got scared the quickest. Everyone assumed that the thought of being friends with two gruesome serial killers would freak out Kenny completely, but he surprised everyone with his calm attitude towards the whole situation. Kenny harbours no bad feelings towards Cindy, Solange or the rest of the Hiwatari family, saying that it was not them that killed all those people, and that it was not their fault that Kai and Tala turned out like that.
Beyblade has lost its popularity completely, all thanks to what happened in Washington DC. Beyblade will forever be linked to Kai and Tala, and no one wants to be associated with a game that was played by two horrible teenagers that decapitated people for fun. Dranzer has been held captive in a specialised cage since she hopped into the cage that day in Washington. No one knows what happened to Black Dranzer or how it was possible that two phoenixes switched places. Dr Black wanted to capture Black Dranzer to study its dark power but instead got another mystical phoenix, and unfortunately for him, Dranzer cannot and will not communicate with him mentally, so he will never know what really happened that day in the stadium. Dranzer is not violent at all but she does not appreciate it when the scientist tries to studies her. She only has one person she allows to come near her and that is her care taker, Elliot. Dr Black has tried many times to convince Elliot to try and bond mentally with Dranzer but the young man just tells him every time that the phoenix only had one master she was connected to, and that she does not want to find another. Dranzer is being kept secret, even from the other bladers that have known the phoenix along with her partner.

Monday morning came with a bright sunny and clear day within the New York area. The household in the Hiwatari/Kon household was a complete mess. Cindy and Ciara enjoyed their weekend together so much that they totally forgot that Monday is just around the corner, and currently both women are running throughout the house looking for their car keys, school books, cell phones, and their pets can only watch in amusement as their owners are running round like crazy people. "I can't believe we overslept, mom! I am so going to be late for school, and I have the worst teacher for first class, can this day get any worse?!" "Relax my baby, just breathe." Cindy took her daughter by the shoulders and forced them both to inhale and exhale a few times just to get their heads together. That little exercise helped them both a lot because soon they both found all their lost objects and soon made their way to their separate destinations: Cindy to her animal hospital and Ciara to school.
Ciara lived about 3 miles from her school which is quite a distance but she does not mind the driving; it beats taking the subway and various bus stops like many of the other kids at her school. Ciara is in her last year and cannot wait to finish school. In less than three months she will turn 18 and she is already looking forward to it. She and her mother have already started with the planning for the party, like the venue, the theme, the guest list, and all the other stuff. She does not want a party planner because Ciara believes she is more than capable enough to handle it all, along with her mother. Her very first thought was to hold it in her father's home city in Russia but the more she thought about, the more she realised that it will not be such a good idea seeing as Moscow has some unpleasant memories for her mother's friends, and decided to hold it in New York; it will also be much cheaper, not that money is an issue for her. Her mother explained to her how much money they inherited from her father and why he had so much money in the first place; and luckily for her, she is just like her father in not flaunting their fortune. Her mother told her that her father never used his money to get what he wanted and also never rubbed it into other people's noses of how much money he has, and Ciara is also like that. She does not have an obsession with money. Cindy is also the same; that is why they are not living in a castle and neither cares about designer clothes or the best and most expensive accessories. They are both just down to earth women and do not care what anyone thinks about them.
Ciara finally arrived at school and luckily had a few minutes before her first class, so she can hear all about CJ and Jessica's weekend in the Hamptons. When she got out of her truck, she was immediately ambushed by her two best friends.
"Finally woman! We have been waiting for you for ages!"
"Oh come on CJ, I had a hectic morning but I am here now, aren't I?"
"Yes you are but anyway, are you not going to ask how awesome my weekend was?"
"I would if you give me a chance; so CJ, how was your `awesome weekend`?" Ciara just gave CJ a sarcastic smile which the young man just shrugged off with a million dollar smile.
"It was beyond awesome!"
"Why, you bedded 10 different girls?"
"No, better, much, much better; I had a threesome!"
Ciara turned to Jessica with a slight disgustful look on her face. "Couldn't you keep your friend on a leash?"
"Hey, don't look at me; you didn't want to join us so I am not to blame." Ciara just rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to CJ, who was still smiling from ear to ear.
"So, what do you think?" "Honestly CJ, I think your parents need to get you fixed."
"What?!" CJ was beyond shocked, or acted that way at least. "Ci, how can you be so cruel? Do you have any idea how many guys fantasises about having a threesome but never have the chance to experience one? I, for one, have fulfilled one of my fantasies; the least you can do is to pretend to be a bit happy for me."
Ciara had to smile at this, and this caused CJ's mood to improve much more. "Congratulations CJ; I am really happy for you, but please, I beg of you, do not share any details with me."
"Oh hell no, that talk is only reserved for the guys. I love you two very much and trust you with everything, but that kind of stuff is not meant for your ears, or eyes, well, only if either of you ladies decided to take the mini CJ for a drive, then I will be more than happy to share it." CJ winked at Ciara and both she and Jessica punched him on his shoulder, while saying 'eew' and sounding very repelled by the idea.
Just then the three friends heard someone shout 'babe', and they all knew who it was: Jonathan. He is Ciara's boyfriend and they have been dating for about nine months now.
"And that's our cue; we will see you in Biology."
"See you two." Ciara watched her two friends leave because neither CJ nor Jessica is really friends with Jonathan. They don't hate him, but they both knew him before he came to their school, and the guy did not have a good reputation at his previous school. Ciara understands them both and so far has not forced either of them to become friends with Jonathan. So far he has treated her with nothing but respect and he has not even once asked her for sex or pressured her into it. Ciara is still a virgin and this makes her mother just burst with pride. Ciara just never had the urge to sleep with someone, and Jonathan is also her first real boyfriend, and she just wants to see how things will go in the future between them.
The two love birds embraced each other and shared a deep kiss before looking into each other's eyes.
"I missed you Ci."
"We saw each other Saturday night."
"I know but I already told you that I want to see you every day; I need to see you in order to exist."
"Please, which horrible romance novel did you read those lines from?"
"You are breaking my heart Ci."
"Too bad, so sad." Jonathan just chuckled and placed his arm around Ciara's shoulders and pulled her closer to him so that he can plant a soft kiss on her forehead. "I missed you too."
"Good to know. How is Jock doing?"
"He gets better by the minute. Yesterday afternoon he and Bingo started to play-wrestle with each other. My mother and I were concerned at first but it is like Bingo knows he has to be careful with Jock; luckily all the dogs accepted Jock immediately; even those two silly cats. Iris constantly flirts with him; the poor dog does not know what hit him." Jonathan burst out laughing. He has seen their black cat, Iris, and how she flirts with anything that lives. She will always rub herself up against anyone and would always walk in a very sensual and seductive way, so he already pictured the dog's face as this seductive cat flirts with him.
"I would have to see it some time; poor Jock." Just then the bell rang for the start of the school. "I'll walk you to class." Ciara also placed her arm around Jonathan's waist and the two headed for the school building.
CJ and Jessica are also both 17, but Ciara is the oldest of the three. She met the two when she started at the new school about three years ago. Jessica and CJ were already good friends at that time, but they immediately welcomed Ciara into their circle, and since then the three have been best friends. CJ is 6 ft 1, which makes him stand out between the three of them. With his blonde coloured hair and light green eyes, he can weaken any girl's knees, except for Ciara and Jessica's of course; they are completely immune to his charms. CJ plays football, so that makes him very toned, and it also makes it another thing he can use to swoon the ladies with. CJ has two older brothers that are away at college and he cannot wait to go join them after he has finished high school. He has already applied and has been accepted, and in a couple of months he will be joining his two older brothers. To be honest, CJ is more excited about the parties and the girls, then actually going to college. He knows about Kai's past but he does not hold it against Ciara; he just told her that what her father did, does not define her, and that people should really stop being so small minded, and not blame her for her father's past, and that she should never be ashamed of who her father was. That is one of the reasons Ciara loves CJ so much; he knows when to act serious and mature, and still enjoy life at the same time.
Jessica is a bit shorter than Ciara but only with a few inches. She has hazel coloured eyes, and is naturally a brown haired girl, but she decided that she suits better in ruby coloured hair, so every six weeks she has her hair coloured to maintain the colour. Jessica is a one of kind person, with so many different personalities. One day she can dress and act like a Goth, and the next day she can be a total girly-girl, including all the high heels and fluffy girly accessories, and other days, she can just be total normal, just like Ciara. Jessica also has two older brothers, and luckily for her, they both still live at home; more like, they live in the apartments in their backyard that their parents had built for them, so she gets to see them every day. She is very close with them both, and her two brothers also adore her, along with CJ and Ciara. Jessica does not have a boyfriend; she had a few in the past but it was never anything serious, just the usual physical stuff that all teenagers get together for in the first place. She sees Ciara as the sister she never had and the two has shared some painful stuff in the past that just brought the two closer to each other. She too, just like CJ, did not hold Kai's past against Ciara. She did not know Kai, nor did she know anyone that suffered or died under Kai's cruelness, so there is no reason she should hold it against Ciara. It was not Ciara's fault that her father did the stuff that he did.
Jonathan is already 18 and he has a past of his own; at his previous school he was a bully, and also a player. He mistreated everyone but changed after he got into a car accident one night, in which he lost one of his close friends. He did not drive but he was the one that suggested they race the other guy, and unfortunately as they were racing, the front tire burst which caused the car to roll a total of seven times, and crashed right into an on-coming truck. Jonathan spent three months in hospital with numerous serious injuries. His friend, Michael, did not make it and died on impact. After Jonathan was released from the hospital, he decided to change schools, to go and join his non-identical twin brother at his school, and since then he has tried his best to leave his bad boy days behind him, which has proved to be a bit difficult as so many people know him, and how he was, and his appearance also gives off the bad boy demeanour. With his black punk styled hair, left brow ring, tongue stud, pierced ears and nine tattoos, many find it difficult to believe him and that he has left his old ways behind. Ciara does not care about any of that or what he did in the past; she understands his situation completely because she herself is constantly trying to escape a past, a horrible past that is not even hers. That is why the two has found consolation in each other and they are not just a couple, but also close friends, and they both can be themselves in front of each other. Cindy has approved of their relationship and she really likes Jonathan, as she can see he makes her daughter very happy. According to him, Ciara is the best thing that has happened to him, and that he will always treat her with the respect and love that she deserves, and that is why he will never pressure her into anything, especially sex; he told her that he will wait until the day she is ready, no matter how long it takes. He knows her two friends don't really like him but as long as they all can try to be civil with each other for the sake of Ciara, he is more than happy to comply with it.

When Cindy arrived at the hospital, there was an emergency with a cat that got hit by a truck and the cat was not in good condition. She had to make a difficult decision and had to put it down, which meant that the rest of the day Cindy is going to be in a very bad mood because she hates it when an animal has to suffer because of some asshole that does not have any appreciation for the animals of the world. When Cindy was still studying, she made friends with a lawyer student, and what made him different from others, was that he wanted to specialise in animal rights, and take those people who disrespects animals, to court. Anthony and Cindy became good friends because they share the same love for animals, and they are still good friends up until today. Whenever Cindy comes across a case of animal cruelty, she contacts him and tells him the main facts, and from there on Anthony investigates the case and so far, he has had major success in punishing those that have been cruel to animals. This hit and run will be a new case for him because the people that brought in the cat, wrote down the number plate, which will help a lot in finding the one responsible. It infuriates them both that an innocent animal always has to pay the price for the ignorance of some humans.
Cindy was currently in her consultation room, just taking a breather after she had to put down the cat. She always needs some time alone just to gather herself. She just sat at her desk, looking at nothing in front of her. Just then she opened her top drawer and took out a photo frame of her with Kai and Ciara when she was little. The photo was taken before Kai changed. Cindy just looked at the photo with no expression on her face. 'I should hate you for all you did behind my back but I will never be able to do that; I am incapable of hating you. How would the world have been had you and Black Dranzer succeeded that day in Washington? What would have become of everyone? I believe the animals would have remained safe, but slaughtering all the innocent is just as cruel as animal cruelty. I really do miss you Kai, but at least I had a body to say good bye to this time, and I guess that helped me in healing completely for the first time. I will always love you and will forever hope that we can be together again one day, maybe not in this life but in another one, where we will finally be able to be together forever, just like it is meant to be.' Cindy gently stroked over Kai's face with her thumb before placing the frame back into the drawer. She felt better after looking at the photo of her lost love; she always does whenever she looks at it, and she does it every time when she has a horrible day at the hospital. It is almost like he gives her strength whenever she looks at the photo. She took one deep breath and then got up, ready to face the rest of the day.
Cindy is the main doctor and surgeon at the hospital but they are five doctors in total, all working various shifts. Two of the other doctors have bought shares in the hospital but Cindy is the main shareholder. She works very well with the others and she is always willing to help students who want to go into this line of work. She has had quite a few interns so far and they all loved working with Cindy. Many know of her past with Kai but no one cares about it; she is great with animals and has a great personality and that is all that counts.

The week has flown so far and it is already Wednesday night. The time reads 01:49 and in the Kon/Hiwatari residence everyone is asleep. Ciara was tossing and turning, like she was having a nightmare. It was about her father, and how the two of them are running for their lives. Just then she woke up with a fright, breathing rapidly. It was very dark in her room with almost no illumination in the room but she could clearly see the two red eyes that were in the corner of her room. She didn't know whether she should scream or just attack.
"Relax my child, you are safe." Ciara had no idea whether she was still dreaming or if she is wide awake but something was definitely very wrong here. She could not see person that spoke, only the eyes that were glowing red, and it freaked her out completely.
"What do you want?"
"When you are alone at home, go into your basement. There will be a chest, and inside will be your present, just to prove that you are my child."
"My child? Dad?"
"Soon I will present the second present which will lead you to the beginning of your destiny. You have my blood running through your veins Ciara, do not forget that. You are destined for greatness and absolute power." Ciara reached to switch on the bed light but after switching it on, she saw no one in the location where she saw the eyes, but she could clearly remember what that person said, and she was positive it was her father. 'In the basement?'
Curiosity getting the better of her, Ciara got up, and after checking that her mother was asleep, she quietly went down to the basement. It is very organised and neat in their basement, all thanks to Cindy who hates clutter. Ciara easily spotted the chest and walked towards it. When she opened it, she saw a double sided axe, almost in the shape of wings, with engraving on it. She immediately recognised the axe because she had read so many articles about it; it was the axe her father used when he killed along side Tala. Without thinking twice, Ciara took hold of the axe, but the moment she touched it, something happened: she saw people running and screaming, rivers of blood flowing everywhere, headless bodies scattered everywhere. She looked at her hands and saw that they too were covered in blood. When she looked to her side, she saw her father standing there, looking very satisfied about something.
"You have felt the power and soon it will be yours my child; side by side we will bring order to this chaos."
Ciara did not say anything but turned back to the scene in front of her, and she had to admit, it did feel good knowing that she was the reason for all this blood and bodies, placing fear in all of these people, and the best of it all is that her father is by her side. She finally gets to spend time with her father, making up for lost time.
Ciara threw the axe back into the chest and started trembling. She felt power, and it was unlike anything she has ever felt, and the scariest thing is that it felt real good.
'How the hell did this axe get here in the first place? It is suppose to be in Moscow with the authorities. I better not tell mom about this; she will freak out completely. Dad said he will soon give me another present that will lead me to the beginning of my destiny; I really do not hope I end up a serial killer like my dad. I will never become evil like my dad, no matter if I do have his blood, I will not become like that. Sorry dad, but my destiny is not blood and power.' With that thought, Ciara closed the chest and placed it where her mother will not spot it. She then went back upstairs to try and sleep peacefully the last couple of hours before it is time to get up again.
