Chapter 4
Kai had searched the main places he suspected his father would have chosen to have a break-down in. The house was warmer than Kai could remember - the heating had been turned up? He frowned Aton was probably just being an idiot and moaning about the temperature again.

Passing by one of the many reading rooms he heard someone shuffling around - someone was in the room but who?

Kai decided to walk in normally; if it was someone who was not suppose to be in there then they would be the ones to try and run. Luckily when Kai saw the familiar raven black hair he couldn't help but sigh in relief. If someone was trying to kill them… Kai knocked the thought out of his mind and closed the door quietly.

"What's wrong with you?" He pondered on whether to stand or to sit down on one of the not-so-comfortable reading chairs. They had been there for centuries Kai was surprised no one had removed them as of yet.
"Nothing, nothing." He saw his fathers hand waving, trying to dismiss what had happened of course Kai was not one to let things slip so easily by. Kai slowly walked around the room, the walls covered in bookcases that were crammed with books. A large sofa and three reading chairs where all in the centre. Kai father; Adonis, was sitting with his hands rubbing at his temples obviously stressed about something.

"That may work on Sota but not me. Now why are you crying?" Adonis didn't think his son would be so blunt. Then again he had no idea what he had been taught in the Abbey and it was his fault for having him end up there… He sighed, "It's nothing really." Adonis looked up and saw his sons crimson eyes stare back at him.

Kai didn't notice that he had moved closer to one of the old reading chairs. At least it was directly across from his father that way he had no excuse to avoid eye-contact.

"Dad. Tell me now - it's not like it can get any worse…" Kai had thought about it and, since he had been told that he was already someone's target to be killed as soon as possible then things couldn't get worse.

"I found something rather… Horrifying out…" Adonis tried to smile; though the conversation he had had with his own father a few weeks ago before his death was still fresh in his mind.

"How do you mean?" Horrifying in Kai's mind meant either a lot of mess or - blood everywhere or maybe something that just was not - meant to happen. Ever.
"Well you heard in the will about the Navia family. Yes?" Adonis rose an eyebrow and raised his head; he wondered how much his son really knew…

Kai had wanted to know who they were since he had heard the name mentioned in the will, there was something strange and memorising in the name.

"Yes, who are they?" Kai saw a brief hint of annoyance flash in his fathers eyes. Why the hell is he getting annoyed at least he knew something?

"It's your mothers side of the family. Before she married into the Hiwatari family." He said sternly; Kai automatically knew that he had caused some offence to his father and his dead mother in some way. A thought ended up coming out as a hopeful proposal.

"So… If we can find someone in that family that's sixteen then we can get this will to be terminated!" Kai wanted to get the will - then burn it and hope anyone who was in the room to just say there had never been one read out. Surely it was easy enough to blackmail or bribe the other non-family members that were in the meeting. That itself was not a good idea since he had to 'not trust' the lawyer.

"… The Navia family is no more Kai." Adonis sounded miserable; and made Kai shift uncomfortably in his seat. Kai coughed wanting his father to look him in the eye. "…What?"
"Your mother was the last of them… Though she was… Taken from us." Adonis again, sounded like a miserable child who had lost everything.

"In other words dead?" Kai was trying to make his father say the words he had thought Aton was dead years ago and it turned out he was fine; though he had decided to run away and become a hero. Or try at that.

Adonis didn't know what to say, really if he said yes; his son would never trust him again and if he said yes and she wasn't it suffered the same conscience. "…I don't know." Adonis sighed out. By this Kai froze - so after him being alone for years his family were slowly coming back to comfort him! Kai glared he really did not like to be kept in the dark about things and having being told his mother of all people was dead was a very hard thing for the Hiwatari to grasp.

"…What!" Kai was thinking about just taking Sota and leaving his pathetic brother and father for whoever wanted them dead. He didn't care that there was a fact 'his mother could still be alive.'

Adonis cleared his throat he was sensing the aura of what he had when he had first talked to Kai ever… The 'I hate you' type.

"Before Voltaire died… He told me, that Enya, your mother, was alive…" The words stung at Kai's mind.

That's impossible she's dead! She would have came back by now, she IS dead there is no way she can be alive - Voltaire just killed her when Sota was born! He told us that himself!

"He's lying!" Kai couldn't think straight when he had seen his father come back into his life then when he was told that Aton was till alive? He couldn't handle this! Why were all his family pretending to be dead! This was not good on Kai's physiological status.

"How can you be so sure?" Adonis looked at his son seriously he didn't want to believe that his wife was dead; if there was any hope that she could be alive then he would take that chance. Adonis gave a small smile at the thought anyone else would call him an idiot or fool to believe such things.
"He lies all the time. Mum's dead; end of story." Kai folded his arms, not wanting to even conclude that it was possible. Since the large car accident mother body was taken away by Boris and Voltaire. All Voltaire did was deliver Sota and hand her over to Adonis… For a price. Kai grimaced as he remembered being carted away by a strange man that he had no idea was.

"It may be true… That she is dead. This may just be as you say, another one of Voltaire's twisted games." Adonis knew his father better than most. He was sadist and lived to create sadness. He would do something only for either profit or pleasure to his own sickened mind. Of course he could have been mentally ill - no one knew for sure since he had always denied ill health and stayed away from any hospital. That is, which he didn't own.
"Even if she was alive she would have came here first anyway…" Kai mumbled; she would his mother had always been the first one to come and greet him. Always the first to be happy when something good was happening - she loved her family so she would have came back by now. Kai had a small regret that he knew - he didn't know his mother that well. In fact he knew almost nothing about her.

"Wouldn't she?" Kai asked out of the blue, not really wanting to think that if his beloved mother was alive had chosen to stay away from him and the rest of the family.
Adonis pondered a minute; the only noise was the small ticking of what appeared an invisible clock somewhere in the room.
"She would… Unless…"Adonis stopped himself from talking as he looked back at the floor he could feel Kai's accusing eyes on him again. Adonis sighed he didn't know what to say he did have information that concerned Enya, his dear wife but - it was as accurate as the stock-market.

"Unless?" Kai wanted more and more information; he only had so much of the strange, twisted puzzle… So little it seemed nothing was making sense. Things he learned were confusing him even more.
"I'm sorry, thinking out loud once again. Kai how do you think you'll be able to handle not being able to blade for… Around five years?" Adonis gave him a pitiful look which Kai glared back at he hated to be pitied it was pointless; it made him feel weak.

The teen didn't know what to say - he couldn't say it was 'annoying and life would be boring,' no that's something he would not admit.

"It doesn't matter… Beyblading was the only thing I enjoyed doing." Kai shrugged his shoulders receiving a now confused look by Adonis - his head was cocked to one side, an eyebrow raised and a smirk.

"So in other words?"

"In other words - the only one with any hope for this family is Aton. Even if I were to marry someone - I can safely say pleasant wouldn't be the word to describe anything within the marriage or life around it." Kai concluded, it was true he really did not want to go out and be forced to have to actually 'try' and get married. The whole thing just seemed like a lottery to Kai. Someone gets married - hoped there rich and dies young - Hey presto, their rich.

"Aton only has three years left and most of the young heiresses have gone to other families." Adonis sat back on the couch and sighed a little. Heiresses where the only respected girls around and that could be sure of staying put and not being dishonourable in anyway. Picking someone of the street at random was… Not honourable.

"Couldn't we just marry some how would defiantly want to rich…" Kai was just thinking of the whole devoice system; surely the Hiwatari had enough money to still stay rich and devoice some woman after a year?

"Yes but remember we do need a healthy boy before the first year of marriage is up…." Adonis put his head back; now resting on the top of the couch. Things in the will were hard and precise, what if Aton and Kai had two daughters where would they be then?

"Get a test tube baby then… Or something…." Kai shrugged he still had a few years before he had to really worry; then again someone who wasn't a fan girl and didn't want to just marry him for his money was hard to find in this world. This time it was Kai that sighed as he closed his eyes trying to comprehended what he had to do over the next few years.

"I know you don't enjoy having your life upturned by a dead man. His will is strange and we may be able to get out of it somehow. If only we could contact…" Adonis mumbled on and on, then stopped himself again he definitely needed to learn to keep his mouth shut especially if someone which had good listening skills were near.

Adonis thought that may be his son hadn't heard him but then came the question he knew he would not be able to get out of as easily as he had slipped up.

"What are you talking about?" Kai had opened his eyes again, alert as ever staring at his father who had now frozen as he had realised his son might caught on…

Adonis laughed nervously and stood up - he had a fake smile that could easily be seen through he scratched the top of his head in a nervous manner.

"Sorry, mumbling again though now I need to talk to that lawyer I must ask him something." The mention of the lawyer had invoked a memory of the whole, don't trust him business.

"Don't." Kai said standing up to meet his father head on.

"What? Why not?" Adonis didn't understand his sons abruptness it was oddly uncomforting when Kai disagreed with him.

Kai knew more than he did about many things - beyblading was one of the topics maybe he knew more than he was letting on?
"He's not on our side…" Kai turned to leave but soon stopped as he heard his father chuckle.

"On our side? He's just a lawyer Kai he -." Kai turned back around a death-glare engraved on his features;

"Shut up, I don't trust him no one should. If you have any worries or questions ask someone who you actually know and trust."

Adonis was taken by surprise at the savage tone Kai used he was deciding on whether to shout back and tell him to respect his elders and all the disciplining things but something made him believe that it was an urgent. There was certainly something wrong with Kai he was much more moody and had snapped ever since he had come back from his walk.

"Anyone in mind?" Adonis wasn't sure if he could trust anyone - the adult world was filled with people that would collapse under a large enough sum of money in their accounts.
"Mr. Dickenson?" Kai wasn't really sure that he trust any other adult as much as Mr. Dickenson and that was being honest he wasn't as annoying or snobbish as half of the 'upper class' were.

Mr. Dickenson was an old friend to the Hiwatari family, he had started off trying to get the beyblading sport noticed; that was years ago now he had aged so much. Adonis and Enya had given him money to help endorse his idea which all in all went very well. After Kai had came back, from the Abbey Mr. Dickenson had taken it upon himself to make sure he knew where Kai was at all times just in case Adonis had needed to speak with him.

"I don't know what you know about this lawyer but I will believe you for the moment." Adonis's voice changed from it's usual mellow to a very serious and low tone; Kai had never heard of it before that moment even when he was a child his father had never used such a … Dark tone before.

"Hn." Was all Kai could answer back.

Adonis walked away while Kai stood there watching his departing parent; once Adonis was at the door he turned around now having the happy-go-lucky face back and asked as casually as possible.

"Oh yes… When, your step-mother was here did she ever mention… Tundra?" Adonis knew that if he asked anyone else they would end up saying it was a type of climate. Only if he had been told directly by someone in the family would Kai know what he was talking about.

"No… What is it?" Kai was waiting for another short explanation but, it would be an explanation nonetheless. Though Kai did not get his short explanation - he didn't get one whatsoever.

"Nothing to worry about!" At that Adonis fled the room and closed the door with a quiet bang. Kai narrowed his eyes staring at the place his father had just been standing no more than seven seconds ago.

"Old man, what are you hiding this time?" Kai sat back down on the chair and crossed his legs. Things were getting stranger and much more confusing…

It was already nearly eleven o'clock and staying up any later would have no meaning, the Hiwatari family all turned in, and tried to get a peaceful nights sleep before they would continue in the morning to worry about the will that had been left.

Kai was dreaming though instead of the usual haunting dreams that would take him back to the old days of pain and humiliation it was so much different.

He was standing there in a room, a white room, four walls a small square room. There was silk curtains on each wall but no windows they began to toss, turn, go up and down, and would fold over each other again and again. As if there was an unknown wind coming, Kai look around and to his surprise found a small hole in the wall. It wasn't larger than a penny...

Curious he walked up a frown upon his face he didn't know what it was…

./. Kai wake up! ./. Kai took a step back - how could Dranzer be in his dream. He looked around and found no fire, no red no phoenix and shouted back,

"Where are you?" The hole got slightly bigger, it was now no more than a small watch face. Kai felt the room grow colder, until he had to rub his arms a few times just to make sure they were gaining heat and not about to freeze up.

./. Kai wake up. NOW! ./. The hole got bigger again now it was the size of an actual door… The boy didn't know what was happening and stepped towards the door. It engulfed him in flames, he yelled out in pain as the fire ripped through his body destroying every cell.

Kai sat up in his bed, panting as he had awoke from his strange dream. He hadn't noticed until a few more seconds that he could see his breath in the air. He held a hand up to his mouth and his other the his head - he was freezing! Kai looked around the room, it was dark - though…

Why where all of his windows open? It was strange the had been closed when he had went to sleep. The lock down system for the windows meant that they could not be opened by any human force. Kai frowned he'd have to go see what was happening.

He went to place a foot on the floor but as soon as his toes touched the floor he hissed and jumped back onto the bed. Whatever was happening had made the floor shut down it's insulating system. They had had it installed for years why was it failing now?

It might not be failing… Someone is trying to kill us all…

What about Sota? She had weak lungs! What if the cold got to her too much? It had happened before in the past… Maybe it was just his room… Kai tried to stay focused if it was just his room….

Kai looked around the room, he had to go wake everyone else up before they went into some sort of coma, or worse ended up dead. Kai sighed and hoped everyone would be ok, maybe everyone else had woken up… Kai gulped as he felt a cold gust of wind at his back...
