I noticed that I got some reviews and even some PM's asking me about the two adult OC's I done in the last story. I would like to say now. Those two people will be somewhat…. Involved…. Well done for noticing. For those who didn't I just gave you some free clues.

Chapter 21

Kai sat watching his mother; just laying there on that white bed… Kai shook his head - he hated feeling so pathetic. So helpless, what was he accomplishing while he sat there and cried his eyes out? What had he accomplish since he had been back? Nothing, he had no extra clues, thinking that his mother would fill him in. That wasn't going to happen, not anymore - or at least not for a long time, until she recovered. Though by then it could have been too late.

When am I going to be able to be cold again… Kai sighed, he really did hate the complete scenario he had been placed in. Everything he hated, he hated the fact that the BladeBreakers were now involved. That he had even given them the blue book. Kai had some things to think about; some things that he couldn't not while he could hear his mothers heartbeat on a machine. He was scared; yet he had always known that just being scared, did nothing. He was being chased by someone, who wanted them all dead. Why was he so scared… Was it because he had no idea - because too many people could… Be the one that was causing this?

Kai shook his head, why did he have to even think of who was after them all. The police, even though they weren't being very active had been watching them slightly, they would notice that they had appeared in Japan. If anything bad happen - such as this - it would definitely get noticed by the police or other authority.

The bluenette didn't understand, if someone had wanted to kill them all why wait till now? Why did they send them all back? Minus Adonis and Sota of course. That one fact caused emotions to jam together to create a fog, one of which was making it harder and harder for him to see what his next move was. What his next move could be.

The boy stood up, although his mind was weary and drained from all of the thinking and emotion it had been slowly draining him more and more. His body wanted to move, do something - anything. Kai remembered why he hadn't done any training, then suddenly he remembered why his mother had been away that morning. He had been banned from beyblading, he didn't know if it was lucky but his mother had managed to terminate the will, just before she had been attacked.

Again, a feeling of discomfort had jumped up his throat at made him feel worse about everything, he let out a breath quickly. He suddenly saw this thing in a different perspective. It was strange, the hospital was almost a daily occurrence with the position that had been fixed onto the Hiwatari family.

If we were to die as soon as possible… Then why didn't they just do it in the camp… Whoever it was, was after something and either found it or didn't.

Kai blinked. What had he noticed; and what was relevant didn't matter anymore… He just wanted information about what was going on. Making a quiet guess to himself he began to work out something - that he knew was certainly, a fact.

Dranzer… Something happened when we were all asleep…That was something he was sure of, the bitbeasts had not returned to their normal-selves yet and had been more than crap at any attempt at beyblading. Maybe Boris is behind it… Was that why he had taken them? For another chance to make bitbeasts? Was it his journal? Was he trying to take over the world again? Kai shook his head as if answering himself, it was certainly not his handwriting, nor was he apart of the Hiwatari family so it was not Boris… Not just him anyway.

Though Kai suddenly felt more than curious about the new tournament that Boris proclaimed he would win. Still if he was that keen for the championships then he would need a reason to be so up-beat since, in general Boris was a scientist and liked numbers and percentages instead of spirit. So it had to be someone skilled, Brooklyn just gave up entering tournaments thinking that he would just go insane again - the thought must have terrified the boy. Though it was obvious that Brooklyn wouldn't go back to Boris and his corporation since he didn't even care about him last time.

The blader knew he didn't need to worry about that either, Mr. Dickenson would keep them all up to date on who the blader was. That is if Mr. Dickenson found out, but still Kai couldn't help but get angry at the fact someone was stupid enough to be tricked. Even after the whole disaster last year.

Kai glanced back over at his mothers bed, he stepped closer looking down as he noticed purple bruised on top of one another. Who could do this to someone? At least a woman with, no way of defending herself. Kai

became angry. More than angry. He'd never felt so much anger within him before, as the idea enraged him the greater he made himself think of the agonizing things that his mother had went through.

His fists tightened, his knuckles became merely whiter than his normal pale complexion - he would find the person that had caused everything in his life to turn upside down. Everything to go out of balance, he would find what and why this unknown person would be doing something like this.

"I…" His thoughts remained blank as he tried to think of something - something he could say, that he could promise - that would hold some sort of meaning. It was clear that Boris would know what was happening, it was an educated guess. If anything was going wrong or right with the Hiwatari family he would know of it. Plus it was BioVolt that had taken them to the sand fortress in the middle of the Sahara.

He would go to the championships - he would beat whoever stood in his way, he would make Boris tell him everything. It was his job, he was the cold blader of the family. Aton didn't have a chance if Boris was over confident - even more so than he had been with Brooklyn.

Kai would beat even Tyson if it helped him get any little bit closer to information on who was doing this. The boy looked over his shoulder hearing shoes almost running towards the room. Kai couldn't be bothered with any confrontation not now. He'd have to just shrug at their questions, no matter what they asked. He no longer cared who was involved on his own behalf. The quicker he found out, the quicker the attacks would stop.

The BladeBreakers had come only for support and had agreed that only Aton should go in, for the moment. Thinking that Kai would most likely be in there, plus it was their mother. Everyone else were simply friends that had no right to go inside instead of two of the Hiwatari siblings…

Tyson sat down, while Rei kept standing pacing the waiting room more than once. Kenny and Max sat with a grim look on their faces. The two girls were off to the bathroom to try and calm themselves down - when it came to Enya being hurt Selene didn't look to cold.

"Kai?" Aton walked in slowly, giving his little brother the time to hide any tears yet his brother didn't move, not once. Had he heard him come in?

Aton wasn't sure of talking as he walked over to the bed, he hadn't liked the sound of Kai's voice on the phone and had been expecting something horrible as soon as he had heard his mother say she was leaving. He looked down at his mothers face, the only thing that wasn't covered by the white linen cover. Aton's breath hitched, his mother didn't look like she had when she had left the Granger's dojo. His eyes widened as he continued to stare down at her.

Aton had no idea what to do; he couldn't move, his whole body when into shocked - her face was so swollen and covered in horrible wounds of her attack. Aton took a step back as he collapsed onto a chair behind him. Why had this happened? He looked over at Kai who hadn't even acknowledged his existence. "Kai…How….How did this….Who….?" So many questions swirled around, meanwhile Kai was trying not to answer - he didn't know why nor who. He didn't either…He didn't know anything…. Kai sighed and indeed as he had promised himself, shrugged.

Aton looked away, there was no point in getting anger on how this could have happened, the event had happened and nothing could be done about it. He hoped his mother would wake up, he wanted to ask what was happening yet here he sat. He knew absolutely nothing, he knew that even the BladeBreakers knew of something which had made him angry, he had a right to know what was going on yet no one told him anything. He felt as if no one wanted him here, as if he were the one person that everyone would talk about when he left the room.

Aton was thinking of shouting, maybe wanting to pin the blame on his brother for not getting there quick enough. Though that was not fair, he had tried to help and had probably seen more members of his family in hospital than Aton could think of. He didn't feel right as Kai was standing, hardly moving. Was he going to be like this all night? Or had his spirit finally broken under the strain of everything?

The BladeBreakers sat outside, they hadn't heard any yelling or loud sobbing so it must have been okay. It certainly wasn't okay just better than most of them had thought it would be. It was nearing night, and the boys had thought that maybe it would be best to come tomorrow. So they all could give Kai and Aton the time they needed with their mother. They had come for mortal support, though no major distress was being shown as the boys waited outside.
Selene, Lilita, Kenny and Rei had gone back to the dojo waiting for any news from either Mr. Dickenson or Tyson about what was happening to Enya, or if Aton and Kai had came out the room. Most of the time, Max and Tyson just sat, in silence staring off into space. They couldn't think of anything to talk about, nothing, absolutely nothing was appropriate. This time was for Kai and Aton and they would both stay here until they were needed, or began to get too tired to help.

Tyson occasionally glanced at the clock, usually it would tick by slowly, yet it was as if the clock had no idea how long an hour was meant to feel. The time flew by and before Max or Tyson knew it, it was midnight. They weren't bored, far from it. They too had been puzzled on why someone would attack Enya now of all times.

Kai had been standing, non-stop he had barely moved - except from moving over to the wall to stand. Aton noted that it seemed he was back to his old self again. Aton didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. It had happened occasionally, or rather rarely. Kai had become close to something or someone and then if he found out it was damaged or they were ill he would remove it. Forget about it. Just so he wouldn't get hurt - the boy must have been scared of pain.

Aton glanced over, Kai did look tired, had he been sleeping okay? Aton stood up and stretched giving his own tired yawn as indication that he was about to leave. He would have stayed longer, yet they were already past visiting hours but with the case of the Hiwatari's they had been given special treatment of some kind. Aton turned to look sadly at his younger brother, he certainly wasn't going to breakdown, he didn't look like any of this affected him. Aton blinked when he noticed his younger brother sigh and walk out the room. Aton didn't know if that meant whether he was to stay or whether he was to leave, but only after Kai had managed to get some distance between them.

Aton shook his head, why did things have to end up like this! He glared at his mother trying to think what kind of monster would do something to another human being - it made Aton feel strangely sick.

Kai was happy to get out of the hospital away from his mother, away from the one thing that would make his emotions go hay-wire again, at least he could do something now.

He was no longer sad, or scared… Kai was now on his own mystery vendetta, he would make anyone pay if they had any kind of involvement in this screwed up plan. If they had any knowledge on what was happening, then he would tare it out of them. He didn't care if he dragged everyone's souls to hell he would find out who had done this and why. And when he found them…
Kai growled in frustration he had a long way to go until he could demand information from Boris, then again with Boris's new confidence Kai could always make a deal that would benefit him more than Boris would. He'd have to trick him into doing that of course, plus since he was in on this plan, even if his part was small he would pay. Dearly.

As soon as Dranzer was ready to beyblade again, then Kai wouldn't be stopping even for Tyson. He didn't care if he felt, the now annoying jolts of pain in his head. They were nothing compared to how much rage he possessed now, he hated the person behind this he hated them already.

Kai noticed that he had been wandering around, going in a random direction clearing his mind. He was focused now. He would go to the Championships and do whatever he had to do to get information out of Boris.

Kai smirked looking up to the sky as he felt small drops of water falling down and hitting him gently as if each one were agreeing with him. He pulled out his beyblade and looked at the bitbeast that had been by his side for years. The blade was placed back into his pocket -there would be no point in becoming sick and having to wait yet again because of his incompetence, of getting back to the dojo before a storm hit.

The picture of his mother, beaten to almost her death and one of Sota almost being drowned to her own demise - Kai frowned, if he was going to find out who was doing this. He would have to ignore what had happened to his family and stay on track of the facts.

Rei yawned as he woke, he didn't even know why he had woken up at such an early time in the morning. It was too early for him, though he did know that he had woken up because of something. He stretched feeling satisfied with the cracks and popping of his spine. He just have a look around since it wasn't every day he was woken up at this time.

He walked through the dojo cautiously feeling somewhat intruding that he was wandering around another persons house. He looked down the hall and couldn't hear anything - had he just woken up because of the wind? Rei sighed thinking about getting up and leaving his warm bed just to wander around, it had been a waste of time.

That was until he began to hear loud sobbing coming from one of the rooms. Rei only knew of three people that could possibly be crying, two of them were the girls Enya had travelled with and of course Kenny. One of them wouldn't be crying not now surely.

He didn't want to want to pry and even venture into the room were the loud cried came from; whoever it was sounded distressed. The thing that confused Rei further was that he could not tell if the person was male or female, their crying was neither a feminine whine or a male yell. It was strange and Rei couldn't help but move closer to the door that held the being that sounded as if their world had collapsed around them. Was Kai back yet? Surely he wouldn't make his crying so loud? The crying continued gaining in pitch as it did noise, Rei feeling sorry for whomever it was decided it would be best to try to comfort them.

Rei was about to speak as he opened the door but suddenly found himself unable to do anything, he stared at the image he saw. He slid the door aside walking in slowly, he'd never quite seen a bitbeast so clearly before, not in so much pain.

It's head whipped around, green eyes staring into the golden orbs that were Rei's. The bitbeast sighed and continued crying as if Rei was not the one she had been looking for. Rei was certain enough - it was the most human type of bitbeast he had ever seen before. It was also the strangest thing he'd seen, green skin was certainly not something that was common even in bitbeasts.

Rei walked forward more than curious to the bitbeast, it wouldn't hurt him…? He still had Driger if anything went wrong, but Kai did say that they should be able to rest for a while.

"What's…wrong?" Rei stuttered unsure if he could actually comfort a bitbeast of course they felt things, though what if it was something he couldn't comprehend? The bitbeast turned to look at the young boy, he was different from the Hiwatari brat she had met, what seemed a life-time ago. Her hair was wound around herself as if she were trying to stay warm. Her body was shaking as she continued making loud sobs trying to free herself of the sorrow she had found herself in.

"He is… They are…They did it once again….They will create one…." She herself stuttered hoping that the boy would understand, though all he did was frown and come closer.

Rei could hardly hear the bitbeast as she was speaking in hushed tones, as if what she was crying about could come and get her. Rei tilted his head on way and thought against leaving - that would be considered rude even if it was a rather creepy looking bitbeast.

"Create what?" Rei whispered back not knowing if something was listening in. The bitbeast shivered for a few moments before looking sadly up at the neko-gin, her green eyes showed pain. Rei wasn't a expert on bitbeasts but he knew that if this bitbeast could cry it would be crying now.

"…Lotan…." The bitbeast shivered and tried her hardest to stop her sobs from distorting the message. She knew that she was looking rather foolish and weak in front of this mortal. Though she couldn't help but feel fear with just ushering the name…

"Who is…Lotan?" Rei kneeled down beside the crying bitbeast, she was letting off a disturbing aura. One that was consumed with pain and fear. Something Rei had never thought a bitbeast could be.

Tundra smiled as her personality changed yet again, she giggled.

"You poor mortal…" Before Rei could fit in another word she was gone, and Rei was left kneeling on the floor himself. He suddenly felt more awake than he had ever noticed he was. He sighed wondering if he was still actually asleep and he would wake up in cold sweat. He waited. He didn't wake up.

Rei looked around again thinking about what had happened, Lotan? Who on earth was that?
