d1bontemp - Kai's never a happy bunny...! But read on and see, I'm sure you will enjoy this chapter... Maybe depends if you have a sadistic personality like me Thanks for reviewing!

Irn2 - Sorry, I didn't really want to do it either since it is kind of boring just to read who verses who when your wondering and asking about other things. Though it did make a good climax at the end (That's why I decided to do it!) Hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell! Thanks for reviewing. Hope I updated quick enough!

kavbj - Indeed-ee-o I did write a lot quicker (maybe I'm more motivated because I got five reviews in like one day?) Plus it would be mean to keep you all hanging in until after my exams... Thanks for reviewing.

isthatnecessary - Hmm... No she just has the one, since in - Chapter 17 (I think...) of Two Worlds, One Life & A Whole Lot o' People it says that she had the operation to remove the Black Dranzer chip. Kai + company will have a hard time. A very hard time... Yup thank god there are no such things as bitbeasts... Or else that would be one scary... Thing. Thanks for reviewing!

Nameless Little Girl - I hope you enjoy this chapter too! Since I spent a little more time going over everything since I had the chance. Thanks for reviewing! Enjoy!

Chapter 26

Kai and Aton gave a blank look to one another, hoping that they had not just heard their sisters name being mentioned to beyblade Miguel. That their sister was the Mystery Blader. That it was Sota that was the host for Lotan.

Whispers slowly made there way around the other tables, some were loud and it didn't appear that they cared what the cold blader was going through. Kai could feel the eyes on his back, even Aton had a few glances. It was not worldly known that Kai had a brother and a sister.

The group stayed quiet, letting each of the older brothers of Sota think things through. Even though the two Hiwatari's disliked each other they understood each others peril, and even for Aton it was a hard thing to consider. His only sister would possibly be killed. Last year he had seen the few matches - where even Kai had nearly died.

Kai could feel anger rising slowly throughout his body; he felt cold, hollow in a way - his little sister was in danger of so many things. He had failed to protect his sister! He stared at one spot on the table that was not occupied with any food or drink he just blanked everyone, glaring at this one space trying, willing himself to calm down. He could feel the glances that passing people gave him, even the occasion look he received from someone in his own group.

Still he did not acknowledge that they were there. Not that they tried to gain his attention, they all kept their heads down looking away from the Hiwatari siblings. Boris! his mind growled as the name registered and knew that it had been him that had given the girl Lotan. Whether Sota took it willingly or was forced to take it Kai didn't care, but he would find out.

Lotan would force itself into anyone's body as long as it had enough power to do so. Kai frowned again now thinking of a worse predicament, if his sister where the host would that mean she would die if Lotan was destroyed? Or would the bitbeast just float into someone else. Or would Lotan just disappear and Sota would be okay? Tyson stopped eating, in fact he was sure he stopped and tried to make his breathing quieter.

If Sota was this mystery blader then one of them would have to blade her right? If so, would Kai let them try to beat his little sister - that they all knew, was extremely protective over. Or would he ask them all to loose? Because Tyson wouldn't... He just couldn't... He hoped that Kai would see that they would need to defeat Sota in order to help her.

Sota...Why... are you beyblading? You've never picked up one in your life...

Kai was confused at what must have happened to let Sota come here, - though he let nothing show - he was still in great turmoil with himself. As a professional blader and as an older brother, he had a feeling he was failing both of the things he was proud of... proud to be.

He had failed, he had said - promised that he would protect her, and not leave her alone... Yet her she was, probably alone and had no idea what was going on. Kai released an aggravated sigh as he continued running through his thoughts.

Still the only indication of what he was feeling was vented out through glaring. He hadn't noticed that his hands were slowly clenching together into two fists that were ready to strike anyone that said anything out of place. Still he had to think this through, Sota had Lotan - if she continued to use the power of the bitbeast would it not put her under too much pressure?

Though not everything seemed lost, his friends had grown stronger and he himself had managed to make a new move. Though that was only to be used... In a very desperate situation. At least Sota was alive, at least she was still breathing like Kai had hoped. Sota could be converted back into her normal-self, he was sure that his sister would be glad if he stopped the bitbeast from taking control over her.

Lotan... Probably the most powerful bitbeast ever, why on earth was it with such a young girl and not a strong blader. Why had Boris chosen Sota to be the host of the monstrous bitbeast? Why would Boris risk everything on his sister, was he hoping that Kai and his friends would be side tracked by that fact?

Kai was, but he would not let the chance of helping his sister get to anyone that would beyblade her. If she were to loose then she would be better than what she would be if she won. There were too many questions that ran in Kai's mind; Why had the BBA even let a child enter such a fast paced tournament, surely there were rules against such young people from entering and hurting themselves.

Aton sat and occasionally looked at his younger brother seeing the frown he had fixed on his face. He knew that it was not a good situation, then again she was alive, that had to count for something. Though from what he knew - which was barely anything - Sota was in trouble either because of the blader she was facing or because of something else.

Though a rush of hope came and relieved him of the horrible thoughts of his sister getting hurt. Maybe, Kai and his friends would be able to beat her. They could get matched up with her early on in the tournament and beat her, then she would be safe. All Aton wanted was her not to hurt herself.

Although the thought of her hurting herself did resurface, he worried that maybe she would end up in hospital again. He knew from the last time the BladeBreakers and himself were hospitalized Kai had almost jumped from a roof... Just because he thought Sota was dead, whatever happened Sota could not die.

"I hear that she's only eight..." Aton frowned when he heard two girls, that looked much like fans of Kai muttering and whispering loudly as if they all wanted to burst with the gossip they had. Aton made a glare at the two girls, which shut them up quickly. He didn't like people that got into other people's affairs. Friends, yeah they could be involved but complete strangers? Nosing in on what his family were doing?

"If Sota is here then... that means Boris is too," Kai stated clearly to let everyone at the table hear. He would have to be, he wouldn't boast so much and only let the blader come. Plus they had no evidence that he was the one to kidnap Sota... Not much - not enough to stop Sota from beyblading. Or to stop Boris from entering her.

The group stayed silent, listening to Kai but not answering an angry growl escape, and Kai slammed a clenched fist down on the table. "I'll kill him…" Kai muttered to himself not caring if anyone heard.

Kai stood from his seat and walked slowly away not looking at anyone as they watched him leave. Tyson was about to stand up before Aton shook his head. Kai needed some time to cool down and did not need someone telling him it would be okay, that was the last thing he would want to hear. It was the last thing Aton wanted to hear.

Even though the first year that they had met, and disliked each other greatly - Tyson trusted Aton's decision, maybe it was an excuse to stop him from going and confronting the touchy subject with Kai. Or maybe he trusted the fact that Kai trusted Aton enough to be around him.

Kai power walked through the many corridors of the stadium, he was sure that Boris would be here - somewhere. Kai glanced around it seemed that Sota was the talk of the entire stadium, not like the fans had arrived yet. When they did he would get involved into discussions on how he felt about the whole thing, which would not be good for the interviewer.

Boris, where could he be? Where could Sota be? He hoped that they would both be here and wouldn't show up at the last moment, because with the way things were going. It looked as if it was going to turn out just like that.

I hate this! Why can't I find my sister! Kai looked around again, and decided to wander and hope he would bump into the... Monster that Boris was or his little sister. He didn't care which one it was. People avoided him, much because of the glare that was one his face. Alone that look could kill…

Kai was walking occasionally hearing his name, or Sota's name being mentioned. He hoped no one would ask him how he felt because he would end up striking the person and he didn't care if it was some one he knew or just some fan that happened to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. That was their problem - his was finding his sister.

Kai was concentrating on the ground, lost in his thoughts about where his sister was or what he could do to find her. Or even what he would say when he saw her. Would she be sad or angry? He felt someone brush past him and sent a glare his way. Though as he looked up he noticed the BioVolt sign on his jumper and immediately demanded,

"Where's Boris." It was no question, Kai would get an answer one way or another. The blonde boy just sneered and turned to walk away before Kai hissed and pulled him back to face him,

"Turn your back on me again and trust me, you won't be able to walk. Now where is Boris." The blonde boy must have been very low on the BioVolt chain as he cracked and told exactly where Kai could find his sister and Boris.

Kai suddenly felt another emotion - relief but it did not last long as he headed for the room he had been told of. He would hurt Boris badly. He'd never felt hate like this before, it was as if someone had taken everything room him. But Boris knew, he knew who attack his mother and had turned the heating off. Who had flew them out to the desert to spend time in a prison, to take Adonis away. Boris would suffer.

The man named Boris chuckled as he sipped a glass of expensive wine, he had just imported it from France, with the extra funds he had been given, he was planning to pull out all of the stops when he won. Not only would he win, but with Lotan and Sota's body he would rule the world, Sota obeyed him and that meant Lotan had to obey him! Boris chuckled.

Boris was a very happy man; he was no longer poor, nor was he going to loose this championship. He even got to crush the BladeBreakers spirit and even could destroy that little amount of trust Kai and Aton had managed to create.

Of course... He frowned, then smiled - none of this had been his idea. He had been a pawn, but a very powerful and rich one at that so Boris was not concerned at taking a few orders. He'd been bossed around by Voltaire for a while, but he was dead. He was weak - and constantly gave his grandson another chance.

Boris turned to one of the less powerful and corrupted pawns - one of his own - and decided it was time to have... A reunion.

"Call everyone immediately. I want them here to discuss what we will do after we all become rich and powerful. Especially after Lotan defeats the Granger child." The simple man nodded and left ready to make multiple phone calls.

After the middle-aged man had left Boris spun round in his chair and looked over to the small darkened corner where he spotted a blue eye staring at him. He smiled smugly. "Sota come here for a second." Boris stayed still as a swaying girl stood and walked slowly towards him.

Why am I going to this man? He.… He was the one... Sota shivered in her mind, though her body seemed to not respond to even her feelings. She hated this man, and indeed wanted to scream that in his face. But she didn't. Something was sealing her mouth shut from the inside.

She had woken up and she was on a plane. She could remember trying to talk, to ask for help but suddenly felt a invisible hand over her mouth, her nose until she thought she was going to suffocate. No tears had come either, she had never been so scared in her life. It was as if nothing, nothing that she wanted would happen.

I feel different.

She was no longer wearing a dress, but a heavy overall, that covered her from head to toe, leaving only her head to be seen. Even her neck had been covered up. She wanted to pull the collar down just a little as it rubbed against her skin uncomfortably. The clothes were not the only thing making her feel different.

As if she had swallowed something dreadful, that filled her body and made it heavy, her arms she could feel - her legs too. It was the feeling of dread when she tried to move them, it flooded her mind. Pain, sorrow, hate, revenge of something... She felt saddened - why did she feel so... Lonely?

./. You are mine ./. A voice hissed, she could feel her lips move to answer her, yet she had not spoken. She was surprised and frightened when she tried to answer back, using her own lips - yet they did not move.

'Who are you...' Sota whimpered, yet made no sound outside of her mind. All she heard was laughing - herself laughing, her own giggle she used when she was happy. Sota wanted to cry, what was happening why couldn't she move. Why couldn't she speak. Why couldn't she express the feelings she was having?

Boris looked at her - Lotan had complete control, it was noticeable even at first glance. The normal bubbly blue eyes were grey and hollow. They had a great sorrow within them, as if the girls soul was being crushed slowly. The look on the girls face was different. Much different. A twisted smirk, one that no child should have been able to possess; one filled with a desire, hate and a strange confidence. a confidence that made the girl look dangerous.

Sota's change of appearance couldn't help but improve the chances of Kai not being able to focus on his current match. Hopefully Kai would get through - and even beyblade Sota. It would be a fantastic sight to see Kai being beaten by Sota of all people, and Sota would never forgive herself if she happen... To kill Kai in the incident.

Boris decided it was about time to hand over the equipment needed for Lotan's next match. Sota may not have been a good blader by certainly a powerful bitbeast knew what to do. In this case Lotan would have control. The bitbeast could do as he pleased, and all Boris asked of him was that he destroyed anyone that tried to take the title away.

Being a bitbeast, titles did not matter - though destroying other bitbeasts and creating havoc was something the bitbeast was happy to do.

The girl felt her body move, as she moved closer to the purple haired man she tried to stop herself. She did not want to move so close to this man. She did not like this man. Lotan hissed at the girl, clearly annoyed with her pathetic attempts. It did not matter.

Lotan was going to enjoy himself, he was in a weak body but he himself was strong. A weak body meant that he would be able to control even the persons mind - be able to search and read the girls memories, to use against the other bitbeasts masters.

Lotan voiced his opinions on the human race.

./. They are all worthless, and shamed easily, they have no pride or strength ./. Boris frowned he certainly did not like to be called pathetic or weak, but the girl was no longer defenceless, she had a bitbeast in her body and anything that would displease it could end up very bad - for anyone.

Sota tried to sniff, yet could not - she argued back to the bitbeast 'My brother is strong, he is honourable!' She yelled at the strange creature that made her lips move into another smirk. ./. Be quiet or else I'll kill your beloved brother! ./. Sota heard her laugh again as if the creature was playing a joke. The words that it had said caused Sota to start crying. Just not physically... How she wished that her brother would come and save her. She heard something; a yell, a scream of some sort. Then she felt herself going to sleep.
