Chapter 11

The small girl continued to cry over and over for her brother and even the hospitals child therapist could find anything to calm her down with.

She had added that the child must be going through a dramatic and traumatic experience to make her act and cry the way she was.

All Sota wanted was to be hugged by her brother and not some stranger that thought she was just some stupid crying girl. Unlike most of the things Sota thought they were not of normal babyish things that any other child would think about.

Any child would be comforted by a nice teddy, but Sota had never liked teddies as the memory of choking on a cuddly toys' eye always crept back into her mind. She had been alone in the house with two parents that had ignored her and tried to make her something she didn't want to be.

The door opened again, and thinking it was only another doctor here to ask her annoying questions she tensed up when she felt someone sit on the bed, and was about to pick her up.

"Sota…"

As soon as Kai had spoken her name; the girls head shot up looking happy and sad at the same time.

Tears still ran from her eyes but she had a large grin on her face that was expressing one emotion. One that Kai had never really understood and one that Sota had only really felt when near her big brother.

"Brother!"

Sota jumped up onto Kai's lap, not caring about the blanket that was now only covering her feet.

She giggled and Kai gave a small smirk to show she wasn't putting him in a bad mood. She quickly wiped away her tears before trying to wrap her arms all the way around Kai. Her small arms only reached around half way. She could just touch her fingertips together, but soon found it too sore and awkward to do, and ended up giggling again.

Some of the nurses and doctors that were in the room look astonished that the 'cold' Kai would allow so much close contact by such a person as Sota. Their minds lingered one the fact that it was his sister and therefore thought it was normal and all appeared to get back to where they had been before the attack.

Kai noticed everyone leaving and decided it was safe enough to smile once.

It was strange... When he usually smiled it felt like he forced it - now he could stop smiling at the little girl giggling over and over again on his lap.

He patted her head wondering if she wasn't hurt in the attack.

"Calm down."

Sota looked up at her brother he was more up-beat and happier sounding, what had happened to make him to different? She blinked when he patted her head again and Kai let out a small chuckle himself. He had no idea why he was feeling like this but it felt - nice.

"Okay." The girl stopped squirming around on her brothers lap and stayed still answering quickly.

There was a small silence when neither of them could think of what to say. Even if no one talked the hospital was busy and some droned words could be heard every few seconds. Or the footsteps of doctors and patients alike. It was hard for Kai to think of what to say and he was happy when Sota had brought up the subject he wanted to discuss with her so much.

"A man came in a pulled the machine off!" She pouted thinking about the horrible man, now that she remembered he had a strange odour about him. It was unusual and Sota decided she didn't want to start explaining things.

She had always been made fun of when she explained something in school. Children were cruel and she had just given up and decided to just be home-tutored, it had helped her confidence.

Kai blinked he hadn't heard the details just that she had nearly been killed so hearing that a machine had been turned off had been surprising to say the least.

"What?" Kai blinked again, Sota hugged her brother again not seeing the fact that she could have had her life ended only moments ago.
"He made me all cold!" The girl whined again, she smiled up at her brother hoping that he would finally hug her back. She was always wanting to just run up to her brother and hug him, and not let him go. Ever.

Kai was still smiling lightly and he had no idea. Maybe it was the thought that his little sister was still alive. Still near and able to make him not feel as lonely as he usually did at home.

She was more than company, she was a memory that was threatening to leave. Kai was always reminded of their mother when he laid eyes on her. Was that why he liked her so much?

"He's not here now, so you don't have to worry, okay?"

Kai patted her head again and finally hugged his little sister. She smiled and giggled again. Happy that her brother was in such a great mood she was always happy when Kai was near her.

Having to live alone and have no one to depend on was hard when she was at such a young age and since the very first day that Sota and Kai had reunited with each other after Kai being thrown into the Abbey. They had been content in just spending their time with each other. Sota smiled, and looked up at her brother.
"Yea!" The girl squealed. Happy that she was feeling warmer than she had ever felt in a long time.

There was a knock at the door that made Kai's smile turn back into a smirk. The girl looked over to see the medicine trolley back over at her door. She didn't like the medicine it was foul she frowned and curled back into bed turning away from the nurse who was now walking in. Medicine and spoon in hand she looked at Kai and smiled and soon managed to turn Sota to face her.

The woman tried to be nice to Sota but it was obvious that she wasn't going to get anywhere quick.

"Ok, Sota I want you to open up…" The girl answered but after kept her mouth firmly shut afterwards, so no sneaky trick could be played on her.

"No!" She didn't like the medicine, she didn't want to take it. The woman sighed, worried that she would miss the other patients medicine times if the girl didn't accept hers.

The woman began to plead in an attempt to get Sota to take the medicine she needed. Kai looked between the woman and his little sister.

"Now come on sweetie." The woman had already poured out the purple medicine into the stainless steel spoon.

"No!" The girl turned her head now facing at her brother with a frown of disgust on her young features. Kai glared back and spoke very clearly and slowly.

"Sota… Stop acting it." The girl blinked she had been unaware that she was annoying her brother and that was something she never liked to doing.

"It smells bad!" She wasn't arguing back she just wanted to tell her brother so then maybe, he's let her off with it.

"Come on, just a spoonful you don't want to have to get the doctor in to see you for being bad do you?" The nurse stated, the technique usually worked on small kids that knew doctors were 'higher' than nurses, and therefore their brains would think they were mean and much more strict than they would have been.
"Hmph. I'm not taking it!" The girl folded her arms unaware of how, really annoyed Kai was beginning to get. He didn't like Sota acting like this. He always thought that if she survived she wouldn't act so spoiled and so… Stuck-up. It was annoying to see that side of anyone, Kai hated people who thought that they, themselves were more than equal to anyone else's life.

"Just take it Sota." Kai snapped, and the nurse looked at the girl and then back at the girl who suddenly smiled and turned back to the nurse.

"Okay." The nurse was slightly lost for words but soon regained the thought of her original task.

The nurse was shocked on how the girls attitude had changed towards the medicine. She was quickly swallowing each of the three spoonfuls. Making small - 'Um' noises which was the most surprising thing of all. The nurse smiled at Kai happy to know that he had been there, without him she would still be trying to battle with Sota to take a sip of the purple stuff.

She wondered why Sota and Kai were so close, even the father didn't seem that close to Sota, whatever was with the Hiwatari family, it had caused the two youngest siblings to bond greatest.

"Why does she do everything as soon as you suggest it?"

The nurse looked at Kai curiously wondering why he looked, different he had lost his cold aura which was strange. The nurse herself had no idea what beyblading was but she did know that Kai was suppose to be good at the sport and was suppose to be cold and cruel.

She chuckled into herself and she had supposed to have been a millionaires when she was this age. Things were different with different perspectives.

Kai shrugged not really wanting to say or even explain why he thought his sister was loyal to his words.
"Hn."

"Because he's Kai!" The girl gulped down water as quickly as she could, doing so she made the nurse frown in concern. Sota smiled at the nurse, happy to answer.

"Yes sweetie, I know." The nurse smiled back, confused and disappointed that she didn't get a more detailed and better explanation.

"No you don't!" Sota frowned as if she was being personally offended. Sota knew what she meant no one else did. It was something along the lines of...

Kai would always be there and always be nice as possible to her. So when she heard people call him cold it was a rather large complement to herself because, out of so many people he wasn't being cold to her...

"Sota." Kai glared at his little sister unsure of what she really meant by what she had said, she always was more open, yet still distant at times.

She would be there talking and chatting away then she'd stare out into space, in some kind of trance.

Doctors had blamed it onto her growing and other health problems. It had only started after some of the physical panic and paranoia attacks had came.

Sota bowed her head understanding that she was to say sorry to someone, she didn't know who but she would have to say sorry just to be on Kai's good side.

"I'm sorry," The nurse nodded to Kai and back at Sota, she smiled and turned back to Kai, she nodded once again and left the room, the squeaking wheels on the trolley was the last they heard from the departing nurse.

There was another silence where Sota had another 'zoned-out' moment she had been thinking about what her house would look like when she returned. Her thoughts flooded back to when Kai had fallen out of consciousness, she had cried and cried for someone to help - for Kai to wake up. He hadn't heard her, thought it was strange, he had hugged her. Given her as much warmth as possible... She had never been so scared in her life - even when she had been kidnapped a few months ago... It had felt one hundred times worse.

"Sota, what did the man look like?"

Sota broke out of her thoughts and turned to face her brother again. Kai looked at her closely seeing if he could figure out how much the stranger had harmed her.

Kai quickly concluded that the man had not meant to harm her physically with his bare hands. In other words he was afraid of being caught.

Sota blinked trying to recall the image of the attacker into her mind.
"He was tall and dressed in black!" She tilted her head when she saw her brother frown in thought.

"Did he say anything?" He asked again wanting to get the smallest detail.

"No, all he did was mutter a bad word when the doctor tried to come in." Sota looked away from her brother she had been scared when he had just came in here and took the machine offline. She didn't want to start crying again.

"Thank you Sota."

Kai noticed that Sota looked away and wondered if he had said something that hit a nerve or some sort of other unknown emotion.

He tapped her gently on the shoulder - she turned around and started crying again. She had wanted to stay happy and up-beat when she had seen Kai being so, different when he had came in.

Sota began to cry briefly on her brothers shoulder, kneeling on her bed was just helping her reach him and no more. She frowned again, and wiped away the tears on her face she whispered quietly.

"Brother?" Kai turned his head to face his little face and immediately knew something was wrong.

"Yes?" Sota gulped as she gripped Kai tighter hoping it would help in some way. Her voice shook slightly.

"Why is your ear bleeding?" Kai blinked and looked at his sister, when did his ear bleed. He touch his ear, the one that Sota was staring as if enchanted at. He felt something warm and sticky, she was right it was blood.

Kai blinked at his fingers that were covered in blood. He frowned what on earth was happening? A pulse of pain went all the way up his neck again. He groaned and shook his head, Sota looked up worried about her brothers safety.

"Ah…" He stood up abruptly wanting to cause some blood to rush down instead his head only felt like it would explode at any second.

"Brother? What's wrong?" Sota was now, again on the verge of tears and crying she had never seen her brother look, in so much pain before.

Kai shook his head over and over again as if the thing causing the problem would just disappear. He fell down to his knees still holding his head hoping the pain would just stop - the pulsating feeling continued to get stronger and even more painful.

"Help…" Kai muttered looking up at his sister, she would be able to help him by asking someone else to actually help him. Vanity was such a cruel sin.

"BROTHER!! SOMEONE HELP!" Sota screamed.

The BladeBreakers had been in the waiting room, waiting for Kai to come back when they had heard someone screaming - which sounded like Sota. So they had all went to investigate and found that Kai had collapsed for unknown reasons.

"What happened?" Tyson looked between two student doctors that were, at that moment, noting down everything that had taken place.

"Sota. Told us that his ear was bleeding before he ended up collapsing." The female student replied and then went back to noting down whatever she happened to be writing.

"What is wrong with him?" Rei frowned hoping that the two 'doctors' would be more sympathetic.

"Kai is currently in a computerized axial tomography scan." The male student said quickly, the long medical term confused everyone.

"As in a CAT scan?" Kenny piped up, hoping he wouldn't be made a fool of. The doctors looked at each other and nodded, it was unusual to see a child that knew what it meant.

"Will he be ok?" This time the doctors didn't look up from their notes they just replied, in a rather bored manner, "I'm sure when we find the problem we will be able to fix it quickly." The two students started flicking through some files.

"And if you don't?" Tyson frowned it was these types of doctors that shouldn't be allowed to become doctors.

"I'm sure we will be able to find out what is wrong with him." The female said - no enthusiasm whatsoever in her voice. She sounded very unconvincing.

"Doctor…Kai was having really bad emotional outburst as well as mood swings just a few hours ago." Rei added, hoping that the information would help in some way to, make Kai better.

"They could be connected, we'll look into it." The two students smiled and excused themselves.

The BladeBreakers sighed,

"I hope he gets better…"

"Yeah even if he did… Shout out that my dad cheated on my mum." Max muttered not really looking at anyone, he hoped no one would laugh or take the story to the press. Though he did trust everyone, so why not just try to explain more?

"It really happened?"

"Yeah. It's why she moved away… Though, I guess it was better for him to yell it there and break down than have him in the middle of a crowed place." Max smiled, it was lucky they had been in the house everything could have been ruined if Kai had had the break down some place else.

"Yeah…Suppose so." Kenny sighed still not wanting to discuss his own past with anyone.

"How do you think… Kai knew so much about all of us. I never told him…Anything." Tyson muttered, although he may have trusted Kai more than anyone else in the group he still didn't feel capable of telling anyone that he was always ignored by some members of his family. That he wished would just, acknowledge him for being him and not a 'Your just like your brother,' or 'your brother wouldn't have done that.' Sibling rivalry was something that was under-rated in the Granger household.

"He's rich! He can find anyone to do anything for him. He probably researched us before joining." Kenny added, a hint of annoyance in his voice. He opened up his laptop to take his mind off things that had just happened.

"We'll have to ask when he gets better." Rei sighed as the BladeBreakers waited for any news on their now hospitalised friend.

The man stood outside, in an alleyway covered almost fully with rubbish and random junk that had been left as its scenery. It was here, that the man decided to make a quick phone call. He pulled out a high tech phone that would anyone in a good mood just looking at the thing. After the first few rings the other person on the other line began to talk.

"Okay so I failed to kill the brat,"

The man huffed as if he had just lost a game of tag. He frowned at what the other said in reply. Then grunted in his own reply. Facial expressions changed quickly and soon the man explained the new situation.

"Yeah, Kai and Aton are now unconscious and can be hopefully poisoned with the arsenic stuff you gave me." The man nodded to himself trying to memorized some of the instructions he was being given.

"I'll do it later, there's still to many guards around. Also, I wouldn't try to communicate with Enya. She'll find out what we're up too."

The man smiled then laughed, happy at whatever the reply was.

"Bye, Boris."

Authors Note: Okay, I have updated quickly this time. -hears clapping- -.-'' Well in a few chapter I may receive a flame or two… Something… Rather unexpected happens but - It has too….
