Chapter 13

Racing down the corners, almost skidding into walls Kai ran as fast as he could possibly go. He was almost at the door that would reveal if Sota was alive or…Not. He couldn't he think about Sota not being there too much would change if she wasn't alive.

Adonis was in general right behind his son most of the way but was trying to make Kai calm down, after all he wasn't meant to even be under any stress. This was certainly going to cause problems with Kai's emotional chips - they were probably malfunctioning again.

The last corridor was the longest run Kai had ever ran in his whole life - he couldn't get there fast enough, it seemed forever before it ended and he reached the door. Panic had set in and he was practically shaking with nerves about his sister, what would he do if she had been killed? He'd kill her murderer… That was a fact. There would be no easy prison sentence, no they would be hurt beyond words.

Adonis had come up to the back of his son, gasping and panting for breath he hadn't ran in years. His own feelings contained guilt, and mainly worry - greater than worry… All he wanted was to get into the room and hope that everything was ok.

Kai burst open the door and Adonis followed suit but soon caught eyes of what Kai had. They both stood extremely still…

The BladeBreakers and Aton continued to pull and try to get the door open. They had heard the two other Hiwatari's enter the room - or what they hoped was Kai and Adonis.

Everyone was pulling and gasping as their hands got sore - but still they continued to pull and try to open the door. There was no noise on the other side, no noise what so ever which was strange. Either Sota would be happy and screaming with delight or… Kai would be yelling about how he failed to be a brother. There was no noise… None.

Suddenly the five teens where thrown back when the door flew open - finally. They all quickly rushed to their feet and bounded into the room hoping that everything would be ok…

But it wasn't.

The attacker stood there at the furthest point in the room - with Sota clutched in his hand. She was limp, her head dangling down soaking wet sticking to her small - blue tinged face. He was holding her by the hair, and looked painfully annoyed about the interruption. Everyone froze like deer just about to be hit with some vehicle, this situation could either go very bad or, incredibly bad.

The two groups on either end of the pool looked at each other, Adonis was - the only one to make eye contact, Kai simply kept his eyes on his sister.

"Any of you move and I'll snap this girls neck in two." The attacker's voice was grim and make shivers run through Kai and his family. Kai frowned why was he trying to kill a little girl? She wasn't even a heir to the will - not unless this person knew that.

"Let her go!" Kai hissed, the threat was carried in his words. The attacker raised his head slightly as if to look down on Kai.

"If I let her go she will die, I have a deal for you… All of you…" He gazed around the room looking at everyone individually hoping they would crack under his short and intensive stare. Kai only thought for a moment, the water that Sota had fallen into - or in this case been pushed into was very cold. She'd die within a few minutes, if she didn't get help soon her life would… Be no more…

"What do you want!" Kai had a tried to think of what a stupid - idiotic man would want. First of all he tried to kill a little girl, in the daytime, while her family were within metres of the room. He certainly didn't think things through…

"I will save Sota, let her live… If I can get safe passage out of this house…." He smiled cruelly as if he were a genius. How Kai wanted to kill the man at that moment. A glance at Sota was enough to make Kai agree… Though he couldn't just let someone walk away - not when they had his sister!

"Okay… Only if…" Kai was trying to think of a condition that would insure Sota's safety above all things. Kai was having trouble with the stinging pain that had began to raise from his neck once again. He rubbed his neck and Tyson and Aton gave each other worried glances as Kai grimaced in pain.

"If?" The man turned to look at the young teen who looked like he was going to keel over at any second.

There was a very quick and short silence that was only interrupted when Kai had thought of a deal that he may get away with.

"You can leave…With my sister only if… You take me with you."

The words that came from Kai's mouth shocked everyone even the attacker was at a somewhat vocal loss. Tyson tried to speak up but found that he had no words to even whisper. Rei had gasped and blinked trying to work out if it really was Kai. Kenny looked between Kai and his sister, he hadn't known that they were that close. Max wondered if it would be good for Sota if Kai went with him - he was ill himself, what if he caused any trouble and couldn't handle it?

Aton gave a confused look at Kai he hadn't thought about what he had just done - it reminded him of what he had done to try and save Kai from the Abbey… Though he had failed terribly, would Kai follow his path of failure? Adonis was trying to think if there was another way in which he would be able to save Sota and actually not let Kai go…

"Good, now you lot!" He pointed at the BladeBreakers and the Hiwatari sibling, "move over there, no funny business!" he snapped. If one of the children did try to act like a hero his cover would be blown and he would be punished, by his superior, and he was watching him at that moment - he knew he was.

"You are not going Kai." Adonis placed a hand on his sons' shoulder and sighed, he looked into the attackers eyes, "I'll go instead of him. I'm sure you would rather have the head of the Hiwatari house hold than a mere child, yes?" Adonis hoped that he had sold himself off instead of his son - Aton gave a horrid look as did Kai. Though Kai's face was mixed with emotions, he was confused, angry, sad, grateful. Who knows what other emotions had begun to spread across the once emotionless Kai Hiwatari.

The man grunted and slowly moved to the door that Kai and his father had appeared out of, Adonis made sure he got a hold of his little girl and slowly walked out of the door only to be stopped by Kai.

"If you don't keep your end of the deal up… Then… I will kill you." The threat was not a hallow one, the man nodded gravely he knew that this particular Hiwatari was dangerous when he was angry - he was beyond help when that happened.

"I will keep my end of the deal, if you do not follow me." He barked looking, like he really was a madman.

Kai snarled, as he saw the sad face on Adonis as he walked around the corner to an endless corridor…

After a few minutes of silence, of all just standing still, the footsteps of the adults had disappeared and a car was heard driving off - soon that noise died away too.

I'm an idiot… I couldn't even save my sister… Why did my father have to do that? What if he just kills them both… What if… What if… I'm left all alone again like I was in the Abbey.

Kai stood there staring at were he had last seen his father and a very limp Sota be, the sad smile replayed in his head, over and over and over. It was if it was happing not once but multiple times. As if Kai could run out and touch them.

"Why…?" He muttered, maybe his father didn't see why he had offered himself up? He wanted to be with Sota even if it was life and death… He'd lived with her… He'd cared for her - he'd certainly die for her… He'd definitely die with her.

The group of teens slowly made there way over to Kai who happened to be not even facing them. He had his arms folded for a brief moment then they fell to his sides as he also fell to his knees.

"Kai?" Aton walked up to Kai's side slowly not wanting to alarm him in may ways - he was stressed by he couldn't die of stress… The BladeBreakers decided to stay further back for the moment as Kai seemed to be in a complete and utter hopelessness mood. While Aton was of course trying to come to terms with what had just happened.

Kai grabbed his head, as a tear fell down his cheek. He bowed his head not wanting anyone to see. He yelled, calling out, trying to find an answer.

"WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME!" But no one replied… Everyone didn't know why Kai had the life he did… Neither did he. People envied him so badly… Kai hated everyone who was normal so badly… Another tear, after another, fell down soon Kai was sobbing while trying to stop the constant pain that was flowing up his neck and over all of his head.

He wasn't suppose to put too much physical pain on himself… Was that why his legs felt like stumps? He wasn't meant to be put under too much emotional or physiological stress… Was this why he felt numb?

The pain didn't stop neither did the pain in his legs or his heart he felt terrible - everything didn't matter anymore, everything just seemed so pointless. Kai shook his head a few times and Aton tried to talk some sense back into his brother.

"Come on Kai. You should go to hospital… You weren't suppose to -." Aton tried his best to calm his brother down but was just told to shut up, Kai had yelled in his face that had taken everyone aback. Kai continued to look at the floor, still not wanting his friends or - only family member now see him cry…

The strain put Kai's brain into a very dangerous zone, the impulses were erratic and were causing the chips to send out emotions rather than contain them, logical thought was completely thrown out of context. The very bottom chip that had just managed to have caught onto Kai's spinal cord began to detach and send out somewhat 'distress signals' sending Kai's own nerves onto the brink of being burned… Literally.

Suddenly the cries of sorrow and sadness were replaced with distress and pain. Kai hadn't noticed that everyone was now on their knees trying to comfort him. He had closed his eyes trying to shut everything out - the pain… The images he kept having of his sister… He couldn't handle it.

The chip began to move slowly off of Kai's spinal cord, so slowly it only bumped a few nerves that made Kai's body flinch a few times in random muscles. It was on hanging on with it's last small hook that it had been given. Soon Kai's body knew something was there and knew it shouldn't and began to try and destroy the unknown 'bacteria.'

Kai began to sniff and his headache got worse and worse - he felt like just sticking his neck into the pool water, he really was on fire… His face turned flushed. Tyson tried to calm Kai down even though no one knew the severity of what was happening. Kai was colder than he should be.

Suddenly the chip went off, Kai's genes and own body functions would get rid of it. He was a half-neko-gin after all, neko-gins genes had unknown affects so maybe that would help the Hiwatari child survive?

Kai shrugged Tyson's hand off his shoulder and stood up quickly and walked out of the door he had come from still feeling like he would collapse if he were to take another step. Aton knew that sign - the one thing he knew was when people should really leave Kai alone and times when some else could interfere. This was not a time for anyone to talk to Kai. He needed time to thing, to relax a little… Even if it was just a little.

Tyson went to run after him, but was stopped by Aton who received a glare from the World Champion. "Look Tyson, he needs time to think… Even you would need some alone time if all… This had happened to you." Tyson sighed in defeat, he was right. Maybe with this time he could go and try and read more of the blue book? Tyson was sure if they found the owner of it, and it would have some clue to who was trying to kill the Hiwatari's.

Kai knew that his mother's body was not in the house… Not even her portrait was - the two head stones that had once held Aton's name too were just…. For a private place to grieve. At this time, Kai had no idea if anyone would be at the cemetery but if his mother was dead her grave stone would be there. In fact it was there, he could remember the funeral so clearly. Even if it didn't have her body in it he would be relieved to talk to someone who couldn't judge him…Who wouldn't judge him for his mistakes.

He wandered around trying not to look as if he had just seen his father and sister carted off with some madman. It was hard to stop himself crying… He knew that the pain he must have felt was because of the chips… So one of them had either malfunctioned completely or one was gone… He still had two left.. He breathed out. He still had a change of feeling numb again so nothing could hurt him, he hated to feel like this.

His mothers grave was normal, though had a very old tree next to it - Kai quietly sat under it and read the tombstone.

Enya Hiwatari

Beloved wife, and Mother of Three

You'll always be with us

Kai didn't feel like smiling like he usually done when he read the name and the description… He felt like he had even betrayed his mother… He'd probably killed his father and Sota…He had failed in the big brother department… He had failed so badly…

"Do you know her well?" A stranger asked Kai didn't even turn his head to look at the woman she had no right to come and interrupt his thoughts. He saw the woman walk closer and kneel in front of his mothers grave.

"If you're a reporter then you can get lost!" He snapped, he hated reporters and lawyers… They always rushed around him, he didn't like to rush at things… He heard the woman chuckle, and she stood up, and nodded he still didn't look at her fully, just with the corner of his eye.

"Kai… I've not seen you… In around… twelve years?" The woman smiled, trying to figure out how long it had been since she had met up with her son.

Kai's eyes came off the tombstone and onto the woman's face…

"W-what…" He blinked and his eyes widened in shock - he had heard his father talking about his mother being alive, he had hoped that maybe she was alive and well… But not…. Not in front of him while he was crying… Not when he had lost the life of his sister and her husband in the one simple suggestion….

The woman sat down beside him as he stared at her with scared and confused eyes. She began to explain in a brief way so that he would understand in the quickest way possible.

"After Sota was born I was still too ill and hurt to move. So I was told that if I didn't sign a contract then you all would be killed… I was told I had to stay away… Even if Voltaire was ended up dead… Boris made me stay away… I'm so sorry…Please forgive me…" She thought about crying but that would only hurt her pride and Kai would end up thinking she was pathetic or something. She gave him a small, hopeful smile.

Still Kai did not do anything but stare, who does one act when they see there long-suppose-to-be-dead mother?

Enya sighed and smiled, she no longer needed to wear wigs and make-up with irritating contacts and horrible clothes that were far too big for her. She hugged her son and was happy when Kai didn't even tense when she held him. Or was that because of the shock?

It can't be…. But it is… Sota….She really does look like mum…. She had the same hair colour… Has more grey I suppose…. Her eyes are still - gleaming… Like normal…. Like they used to…

"Mum… I… I've killed Adonis and Sota." The woman listened to Kai sniff and he was obviously in distress before she had spotted him, though she doubted that Kai would have really killed Sota not when Lilita and Selene had told her about the closeness of the two.

She couldn't say that she wasn't shocked or surprised by what Kai had said but she had to hide it - Kai needed some emotional support that was obvious that no other family or friend could provide.

She sighed sadly, and asked gently, "What did have you done?"

Enya smiled softly when she felt and hear a few quite sobs but Kai tried to silence himself. Enya smiled and glanced at her shoulder there was a few tears that had soaked the top layer of her coat. He was always such an emotional boy when he was younger…

Kai didn't know why he trusted her, that the woman hugging him was really his mother… Maybe it was because she really did look, smell, talk, act like his mother he was just hoping that it was… Maybe it was because he had spent most of his childhood hating his father and brother that he couldn't hate her completely because she was not 'dead.' He didn't know why but he felt comfortable with the woman.

"The attacker came to the house and tried to kill Sota…. Me and Adonis tried to get her back, so I offered to go along with him…. The attacker…. So I could at least die if Sota did…. But then… Then…. Dad said I couldn't… He went himself…" Kai stumbled and stuttered uncharacteristically over his words he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"Shush come on, calm down first…" Sota and Adonis were gone…? Enya frowned, that didn't make any sense…

"Kai… Look at me…" She asked quietly not wanting Kai to feel pressured or having to do something he didn't want to do. He glanced up and held her gaze. She smiled and patted him on the head… Just like he had done with Sota whenever she had done something well or if he was just in a happy mood. Kai blinked confused.

"I promise you…. Sota will stay alive…. As will Adonis…. What you did was very admirable, not many people would be able to do that for siblings…" She hugged Kai again hoping it would bring back the responsible and logical Kai. She needed to talk with him about serious matters.

"Kai… I need you to go back to the house… Yourself and tell everyone to leave that manor…Understand…?" Enya looked at her son who blinked a few times trying to register what she had said. He cleared his throat which was now sore because of all the crying and yelling he had done in the short period that had passed.

"Why?" He watched his mothers face turn form happy to, somewhat more serious - though she still did not let him go.
"Because I know a place that is safer than that manor at the moment." She whispered as if it were a large secret, Kai glanced around not looking at his mother but instead found it rather odd that no one else was around.

Kai nodded and stood up, brushing himself off of any grass of dirt that had stuck to his clothes. He began to walk away - his mother stayed sitting still, which confused him.

"Why can't you come…" He asked, he knew that if she were hiding then she would be running anyway from something or someone. Though no one would kill them in broad daylight, no one was that stupid.

"I would but if reporters see me, well… You know." She smiled at the remark that Kai had made earlier, thinking that she was one. The Hiwatari family were always annoyed and pestered by reporters and charities that turned out to be fake or ended up going to a bad cause.

"Where will I take them?" Kai knew he had to get his friends and Aton now out of the house but his mother had not clarified where it was they were to meet her.

"Take them to the West Airport, I'll be standing with Selene and Lilita okay?" This time - Kai really had no explanation that he could think of. If they both knew where is mother was why didn't….
"Lilita? Selene who do you know them?" He asked, a little angry that again someone knew something and didn't even bother to tell him.

"I'll explain another time. Please just help me. I'll explain everything… We all just need to get out of Russia…" The woman stood up and smiled, walked up to her son and gave him a last hug, and whispered a good bye.

Kai walked home slowly - walking in dark alleyways so no one could bother him, Selene and Lilita had said something about… 'her coming.' Was this who they had meant? They had known his mother? Since they were going to be at the airport he could ask them then.

The cool Russian air must have done the Hiwatari child good as when he entered his house he no longer felt helpless and lost. He felt back in control like everything would turn out ok. Rei was the first to hear the door open, well what was left of the main door… He stood up and was followed by the rest of his team, and Aton.

"Kai, how are you feeling." Rei didn't smile he didn't feel that it would be nice to smile in a situation like this. Kai just looked up and everyone stared he had his mask on again. No emotion, just a blank, uncaring face.

"Hn. We need to leave this house now." He stated and leaned against the closest wall. Aton wasn't sure if this was the conclusion of Kai's thoughts - he must have wanted to never return to the house again after what had happened.

"Kai come on don't get too far ahead of yourself." Kai shrugged and glared at his older brother, who was more than surprised at the bluntness in his little brothers voice.

"Someone is going to keep trying to kill us. We have to leave." Kai thought about taking a limo, but that may have been faster - but was far too 'look at me! I'm rich!'

"It'll take ages to pack." Tyson groaned he hadn't packed that much he was in a lazy mood, he was tired from pulling the door. All he wanted to do was sleep.

"We're not packing." Kai replied and continued to walk, again towards the door he was thankful that all of the media and reporters had left because of some explosion at a plastic factory supposedly half of the city was stinking of foul plastic.

"What!" Rei wondered why anyone would suggested anything like that. He needed to pack…

"Money isn't an issue Rei. The Hiwatari family can buy whatever you need back - just take your blades with you." Kai informed but soon it hit everyone if they stayed there they could end up dead.

"Were are we going?" Max wondered he was sure Kai hadn't said anything about where they were all going.
"Move." Kai simply started walking away if they were too slow he wouldn't wait for them he was in a bad and happy mood all at the same time. The others looked at each other then ran over to Kai to catch up.

Since there was no luggage to carry, it was a quick and easy walk to the airport. A few times Tyson would fall behind and disappear but would pop out of no where in front of them claiming he was the fastest of all of them.

They had reached the airport it was quiet busy. People pushed past them, and the group of teens received a few 'Move's'.

"So what do we do now?" Max looked around as he saw Kai glancing around searching through large groups of people. He as obviously looking for someone.
"Shut up…and move." Kai had spotted the two girl whom he had known for a long time, Lilita was the one that he had noticed first - she had always made more noise than anyone he'd met, not like she couldn't behave - just that she was rather…. Crazy.

Selene was sitting down, on a small luggage case. She had her arms crossed and as the first to notice Kai walking up to them. Lilita was second and Enya smiled as Aton blinked a few times.

"About time you lot got here!" Lilita jumped up and down happy that now everyone was here they could leave the horrible airport.

"I was told to minutes ago we I can't leave my house that quickly." Kai rolled his eyes and the BladeBreakers almost fainted when she smiled and brought out a familiar item.

"Oh yeah, I believe this!" She rummaged in her pocket and pulled out Dranzer and a blue blade.

"Belongs to you!" She smiled as Kai took it back, and gave a nod of gratitude.

"Kai…" Tyson whispered, he didn't understand how that could have worked out.

"What?" Kai asked plainly He saw that Selene was sitting watching him again. Rei cleared his throat and he asked loudly.
"Why did she had your beyblade?"

Lilita blinked - now there were many things she could say to lie and only one to tell the truth. Yet if she were to admit that Kai had given her it - he would likely ignore her all this trip. Since she was trying to be nice to him again she laughed nervously.

"…I stole it!" She clapped her hands together if everything was now, fine. Kai snorted and walked forward past Selene and stopped. He turned around and mocked the girl.

"I'm surprise someone hasn't stolen it off of you." He glared as did Selene, she knew that he would bring this up again.

"Hardy-Har-Har Kai. I don't steal bad blades…" She mocked him back only to have another insult hurled at her.

"Oh yes I forgot you just try to kill people…" Kai snapped - it was obvious to everyone that the two teens didn't like each other very much.

Selene stood up and was thinking slapping Kai - it would be to do in front of everyone then again Enya may give her into trouble.

"Wow, Wow… Calm yourself people! Don't want to have high blood pressure now…" Lilita stepped in between the two laughing lightly as if trying to calm the dangerous aura that was surrounding both of them.

"He'll have more than high blood pressure in a minute!" Selene tried to get closer to Kai so she would be in hitting range. Lilita held her back trying to calm her down. She sighed when Kai had yelled back.

"Try it!"

The teens and Enya sweat-dropped as the teens continued to argue and threaten each other it was strange seeing Kai so mad at just one person - whom was female…

"This will be a long flight." Lilita sighed and Enya giggled lightly, it would be a fun plane journey.

Authors Note: Yeah because I'm just so sad to kill Kai's little sister….This isn't in the angst genre for that reason! Though… SOMEONE WILL die… I just haven't decided whom… -Cruel scenario's begin to play in mindset- Sorry if anyone was actually wanting the girl to die… But ha she didn't though what sad things will happen to her, and Adonis…. Anyway please review. (Oh yeah I've got work exp. So I may not be able to update until another little while hence why this chapter was longer than the usual.)
