Author's Note: Well again sorry for the little wait but I was yelling at my mother as she almost deleted all of my documents and programs. Ah the dear Master Erase Disk… -.-'' Why on earth do we have one, I don't know. Anyway I want to thank everyone that had read up until now. And thank you to the following people for reviewing;

Nameless Little Girl - Thanks for reviewing. I hope you will enjoy this chapter even though it was kind of done randomly through the past few days. O.o Well anyway hope you enjoy it!

g0thic-angel - Thanks! Oh and you will find out soon enough, maybe in a few more chapters, I'm not really helping am I with all the suspense already in the fic -.-'' Heh heh. Oooo you might know. Interesting, I wonder whom you think it is! Thanks for reviewing.

DancerInTheDark101 - hmmm... Which one, there are quite a few... Which of course aren't in totally detail because this is my first ever attempt at writing them. Though I didn't want to bore people (including myself) in writing every 17 beybattles or something O.o Well anyway thanks for reviewing!

d1bontemp - Aww, it's okay, the more people don't know the more fun it will be to reveal the main evil person at the near end! Thanks for reviewing!

Anyway a few things - hence the word few - will be clearer in this chapter. As for the other things… You'll have to wait Thanks for reviewing.

kavbj - Yeah I seemed no one could update... It just worked for me there - the normal way. Yup good old protective angry Kai will get back at a few people during this story, not to mention a few others... Well thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 28
The matches were today, a few people were feeling nervous - most of all the entire 'former' BladeBreakers and there support were just not looking forward to the match with Miguel and Sota. Not because Sota would win, just how badly would Miguel get hurt?

Still Rei's match was up - Raul had lost like most people had thought, though it had been a fairly entertaining beybattle and he had put up a good fight. But in the end his confidence was not as high as Enrique, which couldn't stop boasting during the match. More people had congratulated Raul than Enrique because he had fought for so long, he had definitely improved since last time he had came.

Rei was happy that everyone knew, but Kai he was sure that the bluenette would be angry at him. He didn't like people hating him - even if it was his fault.

Johnny and Rei could be seen approaching the beyblade dish. However, the happy and focus Rei was certainly not focused today, and he was sure Johnny could tell. That wasn't good. Still Rei thought about the match, he would need to win - he wanted to become champion… But with Lotan here… Was it possible?

Rei took a deep breathe steadying his nerves. It was not Johnny that was making him nervous it was the fact Kai still had not come back and - he still didn't know that Rei had told everyone. The thought had haunted him over and over again, he kept looking for Kai so then he could tell him. But he never appeared. Not once.

He did know that he had broken someone's trust - Kai's at that. He felt horrible because of it, and it was going to cost him dearly. Rei looked over at his opponent and saw that Johnny was his confident self, and couldn't suppress and smirk when Rei was glancing at the floor, looking worried over something.

Probably because he's up against me! Johnny took his stance, as did Rei a few seconds later.

AJ decided to make comment, "And folks it looks like Rei is about to faint," Brad thought that he would add in his own view, "And the match hasn't even started!" It was true, Rei did look paler than usual. Not that anyone knew what his real problem was, but all decided to blame it on nerves.

"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" Without much thought both bladers released there beyblades into the dish. Not even seconds after Rei's blade had touched the metal floor. Johnny's beyblade began to hammer into Driger. Over and over again. Rei watched as Driger was slowly being pushed to the edge.

Why should I be worried? I'm sure Kai will know why I done it. Even if he does hate me, I'm sure that he'll understand… Hopefully. With that last thought, he decided that there was no point in worrying about it, nothing would stop Kai from hating him if he wanted to. No matter how guilty Rei felt, or apologized.

Rei narrowed his eyes, and decided that there would be no point in coming all of this way to go back to his village after the first round.

"DRIGER!" Rei called out his bitbeast thinking that maybe Kai would end up hating him, and it would be his fault...But he knew Kai wouldn't hate him until he had spoken to him first - yes he would be angry but anyone would be...

The crowd cheered as the two bladers continued to blade against each other, unaware of the small girl watching from the sidelines.

On the way to the cafeteria he had heard the crowd booing which was an odd thing at a tournament, especially a beyblading one. Kai decided to go and check it out, he knew that it would be Robert and Michael beyblading now. He stopped when he heard someone's footsteps behind him, he decided to ignore them until a hand was placed on his shoulder.

He turned around thinking it would be a fan or at least someone that he would be entitled to glare at. Instead the glare was taken from his face when he noticed it was none other than Rei.

Kai glanced at him; his match must have been over - he didn't look that bad, a few scratches here and there but nothing major. So he must of won.

However, when Kai saw the sad look on his face and the despair that was making itself known in the neko-gin's eyes, he began to wonder. Had he lost? Given up?

"I'm sorry, but….I told them….Everything." Rei removed his hand when he felt Kai tense immediately and turn around fully to glare at him with accusing eyes.
Kai didn't even ask why, he just walked away thinking that he had been betrayed, by Rei… Of all people. Rei just sighed and walked off in the opposite direction, his match was not on and he would need to take the time to find Kenny just to make sure his beyblade was okay for the next round. He blinked.

Kai's match is up next…Should I have told him…Now? Will he loose then blame it on me? Rei sighed heavier and now thought his friendship with Kai was completely over. Who knows he might forgive him - one day.

The crowd broke into cheers, waving banners and other colour signs that showed much encouragement to Kai Hiwatari. Not like he would need it they all thought.

Kai didn't walk up to the beyblade dish like he usually did. Not the cold and confident, arms folded walk. He was just staring into space as he walked, not daring to even look anywhere else except from the floor.

Before he knew it, he had heard 'let it.' And knew that he must have been behind a little while his thoughts had been drowning any sort of disappointed groan that the crowd gave.

Kai couldn't concentrate, it was impossible. A splitting headache, the thoughts of Lotan and his sister. Finding out that Rei's promise had been broken.

Oliver was sure something was wrong with the BladeBreakers, although they had now been told to blade separately he knew it was not the reason behind their lack of enthusiasm. Even Tyson seemed a little off when playing against Bryan.

Oliver took the opportunity to bash Dranzer over and over again. The crowd - from it's loud cheering went quieter until only some disappointed whispers reached the ears of the commentators.

"AJ it seems that Kai too is rather... Bad at beyblading!"

Kai sighed, not paying much attention to anything though how was he meant to tell such a kind-natured boy to keep something like that away from his other friends when they could get hurt. He had seen why Rei had told them. The fact that he had still broken his trust was what Kai was annoyed about.

Oliver decided that if he was going to go to the second round he wanted a proper match and not whatever Kai was planning. Was he wanting Oliver to beat him to take him out this competition?

"Kai! What are you playing at?" Oliver shouted over, not taking his real attention off his beyblade. Kai was taken out of his thoughts when he heard Oliver yelling "Unicoloyn!" Which meant...

Kai knew fine well what that meant... a few seconds later and a beyblade whizzed almost past him; his blade had been knocked out of the ring. The crowd only gave a small cheer but wondered what was wrong with the cold blader.

He just looked at his blade that lay on the floor, he hadn't given the game much thought. He would have to focus on it - he had promised Tyson. He certainly did not want to be a hypocrite... Plus his little sister, what would happen if she went into the second round? If he wasn't there to beat her… He'd hate himself just because he couldn't save his sister.

The teen went over and picked his beyblade up, knowing that now his mind was clearer and focused he would win. The two boys again were ready to launch...

Aton was wondering about trying to think of what his little sister would do when she got her turn to beyblade whoever this Miguel was. Still he was feeling more protective over her; since he now knew she was in trouble. It was probably the reason why Kai had stormed off, and in a foul mood.

The purple-haired boy was just wandering around thinking about everything that had happened to far. He past a vending machine where a man stood, he decided he'd get a drink too.
It was an odd thing to think when just looking at someone's back, but he couldn't help but ask. "Dad?" His eyes widened a little when indeed Adonis turned around too look at his son.
"Hello Aton." Aton hadn't noticed, but he was almost now the same size as his father - how Kai would be even more angry because he was the shortest male in the family.
"What are you doing here!?" Aton smiled, happy and relieved to see his father well again, and he looked well. "Boris let me go…Because he wanted Sota." Adonis rolled his eyes, he normally used the expression when he was talking about his kids.
"Oh. I hope she's okay, have you seen her?" Sota was his main priority, because Adonis was an adult; he would be able to handle things better mentally and physically. Though Aton knew that Kai was not on equal terms with Adonis yet.

"Her match is soon, I'm sure she will okay." Adonis muttered turning back to the vending machine looking for something to drink. He'd never been so thirsty before. Maybe he was nervous.
"So…Why didn't you come and find us?" Aton frowned as his father turned back to look at him straight in the eye. Neither of them looked happy.
"I'm on a tight leash." Adonis shrugged, not liking the term to be used for himself. Aton frowned and gave his father a confused look hoping he would explain what he meant by 'on a tight leash.'
"Boris said if I told you anything about Lotan he would hurt Sota." Aton smiled at that, which made Adonis feel slightly uncomfortable.
"It's okay, we know all about Lotan." Aton shrugged and didn't see the confused frown he was getting from his father.
"You do?" Adonis asked, wondering how Aton would know something about a bitbeast. He didn't even beyblade.
"Yeah, Rei told me, who was told by Kai." Aton had forgotten why he had come out of the lobby where everyone else was. Selene has asked to come with, but he had ignored her and just left quickly. He wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone apart from family.
"How would he know that?" Adonis had forgotten that he had already pressed the refreshment he wanted, as it lay there waiting to be picked up.
"I don't know, grandfather maybe." Aton could just remember the old man, he hadn't really seen him, it was Boris that he knew and hated with his whole existence.
"I hope he didn't add in to many details, that old man was a bit nuts. His words shouldn't be trusted." Adonis turned around and picked up his flavoured water. He couldn't help but frowned when Aton decided to ask, "Hey, why don't you come see everyone?"
"I would, but it may put Kai in a bad mood. If I wasn't to see him first." Adonis was narrowing his eyes at the vending machine hoping his son wouldn't see his disgusted look.

"Yeah I suppose, he'd hate you more then." Aton chuckled thinking of what Kai usually said when he was ranting about their father.
"Hmm…He's never going to forgive me for leaving." Adonis opened the bottle and decided to take a drink. Aton was glaring at Adonis's back something was odd…

"Neither am I." Aton added. He decided that talking to his father had only made him into a worse mood than he had been in.
"After Kai's match go and see him." Aton was already walking away before he stopped when he heard his old man shouting on him.
"Actually could you do me a favour, son?" Adonis raised an eyebrow when his son just stood there for a while, but within a few seconds he was walking back to him.

"Wh-. Yeah, sure, I guess." Adonis smiled and decided to tell him what he wanted him to do.

Tyson wasn't nervous about his match, that he had now, just that he was nervous about his later matches and if he got paired up with Kai's little sister Sota. He did like Sota - it was just he was beginning to dislike the situation she had placed him in. He didn't know if he could beat Sota.
Not that he was doubting his beyblading abilities it was just that he was doubting that he could beat Sota - also known as Kai's little sister. What if Kai failed to beat her, would he let someone else beat her. Or would he demand that she won so she wouldn't be hurt? It was a strange dilemma, what if she was hurt either way…?
Tyson just hoped Kai would beat Sota, not to get one of the possibly hardest matches out of the way, just so Kai could decided on what he would do about Sota. Would he let her win or would he defeat her at any cost?

They would come to that when they had to, right now he had to win this match against Bryan. So far it was one each. Simply because Tyson had been too muddled up in his own thoughts to concentrate on his match well enough.
Out of the whole beybladers he was the main one that had cuts and scratches all over because of Bryan's technique of beyblading. How Tyson wanted to strangle that damn bird…

Bryan had noticed that all of the 'BladeBreakers' were some how off on their games. Even Kai had a lapse of interest which was interesting and worrying in itself. This had caused some of the other beybladers to wonder if 'Sota Hiwatari,' was the reason why they had been so distracted. From what everyone had heard Kai was not happy that his sister was entering. Maybe that was why his team-mates were getting a little frustrated. Since her match was last…

They both stood glaring at each other, thinking that each of them would be the victor of the match, pity one of them was wrong.

Max had knew that something had been wrong, the way Kai and Rei had acted at the Dojo and then - Rei's distracted look even at the simple of tasks. Of course Max was not someone that knew how to look negatively on things, but now as he was drawing with Ozuma. He hadn't expected it to be an easy win or even an easy tournament. Though now, everything did seem hopeless. Even when Rei had tried to create a up-beat 'we can do this if we try,' atmosphere, no one was feeling it...

Ozuma was not the only one to noticed that something was going on with the 'BladeBreakers,' even Kai the more experianced had almost lost to one such as Oliver. Which meaning no offence to the dear boy but in Ozuma's eyes Kai should have walked that battle. But he hadn't, he had been in some day-dream.

Max sighed, what was he going to do? Draciel was getting slowly beaten and Max knew he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, he was thinking about lossing until he knew that winning was not what beyblading was about.

He smiled, even if he knew that there was some evil bitbeast that had taken over his friends little sister's body then so be it. They couldn't change that but they could all try to help Kai, and maybe even defeat Sota themselves. Whatever Max could do to help he would do without a second thought. But to help out in this tournament he had to be in it.

Kai was wandering around again, thinking about his sister and what he would do if he did end up facing her. That was not the task at hand at the moment, it was his sisters battle. Everyone had come to see the little girl that was meant to be related to Kai Hiwatari. No one had paid too much attention to her even when the family had been on the news. Though now she was the talk of the world…

Miguel had already came to the beystadium, and was waiting patiently for his rival that was - about eight years old. Of course no one thought that Miguel could loose. Kai decided to come as well as did Aton to watch what Lotan could do. Then out of one of the main entrances Sota came. In her heavy clothes that looked odd covering her whole bottom from almost head to toe. Two blue eyes peered out as she scanned the room.

Her hair was covering some of her face and stopped Miguel from getting a good look at his opponent all he could see was her eyes.

Kai was surprised when he saw blue eyes, he wondered what was Lotan playing at. Aton on the other hand was aware that she should be different, and was wondering why Kai was frowning. He hadn't seen Sota in a while and was again relieved like he had been when he had seen Adonis.

Oh yeah I need to tell Kai something… Aton gave a brief look at his little brother that was sitting patiently waiting for something to happen. He'd have to tell Kai after this match.

"This little kids Kai's sister, lets hope she's as good as her brother." AJ suggested, while Lotan heard this he thought of a wondrous idea.

"Let's hope she is more focused!" Brad took a small jab at Kai's pride or tried to - Kai was lost in his thoughts again.

Sota could feel the sorrow, the hate the pain rising from her chest up past her neck and all the way down her back. She shivered as she slowly lost control on everything, her eyes turned foggy. Lotan glanced up at the commentator box and hissed at the one called 'AJ.'

./.I suggest you be quiet./. The crowd looked at the little girl, they had been sure her eyes were blue when she had come in. Miguel swallowed; he must have been imagining things, peoples eyes don't change colour. Not from blue to grey in a matter of seconds.

The little girl got ready, of course Lotan knew how to beyblade, since all in all he was a bitbeast, he'd seen it done or participated in this sport for hundreds of years. Before he was trapped inside that stupid rock…

Miguel wondered if maybe Kai would try to kill him if he hurt his sister. The fact was that she was a beybladers and shouldn't have entered without knowing the risks. So that was that - he would win at any cost. That didn't mean cheating.

"3...2...1...LET IT RIP!" The former BladeBreakers watched waiting to see what Lotan's true form was. Maybe he would come out of Sota and attack Miguel's bitbeast, Dark Gargoyle. Miguel went straight towards the beyblade. It didn't even look as if it had bitbeast - this battle would be done in seconds. It was.

Sota's beyblade come out of the dish quickly, and everyone relaxed, some gave a disappointed sigh meanwhile Kai and Aton heard each other sigh in relief.

"Well that was... The quickest match in history!" Brad shouted causing some fan girls in the audience to giggle. Still Lotan smirked using Sota's small body to grab the beyblade quickly.

"3...2...1...Let It Rip!" As soon as both blades were in the dish this time, Miguel thought nothing more on this match. After that easy win he thought that everything would be fine.

./.Don't...dare...make fun of me... You'll regret it./. The little girl lowly hissed causing Miguel to feel a little uneasy. How knew a sweet looking girl could talk so intimidating, with a voice like that? Then again she was related to Kai…

Miguel went once again for the kill, so he could hurry up and end this bad match pair up. He knew it was Kai's sister - but she had no talent or skill.

The girl looked up not wanting to let Lotan take control again. Sota then came back and began screaming, causing much confusing to the whole stadium. Wavering Miguel's attack on her bitbeast. Sota fell to her knees and held her head, her small fingers digging in. Hoping that the pain she was experiencing would go away. "GO AWAY! IT HURTS, I DON'T WANT TO!" Kai blinked, so she was in pain whenever Lotan tried to take control or whenever he left.

Miguel then say the girl look back up with a smirk unlike any other he'd seen before.
./. You'd better hope and pray that you live after this./. Miguel blinked what had that little girl said, surely he hadn't heard that right. Most of the stadium had turned quiet.

./. HERE I COME! ./. A cold laugh was released from the girls mouth, only a handful of people watching knew that was not Sota herself. While others thought it sounded more male than feminine - there was something not right.

An image of Lotan come out of the once blank beyblade chip. It caused everyone that looked at it to turn their blood cold. Miguel's eyes widened, he thought this girl didn't have a bitbeast!

Seven heads waved madly from side to side each having a pair of dark cold eyes, no wings happened to be on this dragon but it certainly could have breathed fire when it wished. There were two large hands that also had deadly claws. The size of Lotan was huge, one of the largest the beystadium had seen. It didn't look too ferocious until it opened all seven of it's mouths at the same time giving Miguel more than one thing to worry about.

Before anyone could warn Miguel to get out of the way, he was engulfed in raw flames. He was lucky that it was not real fire, just that it felt like it. The sudden yelling of Miguel caused everyone to stare wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the young girl and then back to the evil looking bitbeast. Miguel couldn't be seen as wave after wave of fire came out of Lotan's seven mouths.

The fire from the seven mouths stopped, they had scorched everything, even where Miguel had stood and he was now lying on the floor unconscious. When the spectators looked back at the dish the blinked in shock. Miguel's blade lay in pieces, shreds and crumbs of what it was originally like, and that was it. Within seconds people had ran up to Miguel checking to see if he was alive. Luckily he was.

Sota looked up at the bitbeast, this was what was inside her? She went ballistic, she would not allow such a thing in her again. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST BE NICE FOR ONCE!" She screamed at the bitbeast, it turned around, and stretched out an arm. Sota didn't understand why this bitbeast was so full of hate and despair - what had happened to the beast to make it like this? Nothing could be born so cruel, so hateful?

"It seems that Lotan doesn't like to be shouted at!" AJ Screamed down the microphone, hoping the little girl would be able to move out of the way.

A large and powerful arm swiped at the little girl - clawing her on the face, causing her to cry out. Blood ran down her face, and Sota started crying. Her salty tears making the pain on her cheek even sorer. Lotan moved to hit the girl again but all of a sudden a large fire bird came out of no where and stayed in between the young girl and the horrible beast.

The bird squawked and flapped it's giant fire wings as it made an attempt to hurt the bitbeast, snapping at any one of the seven heads that came near. Lotan slowly backed off feeling the heat from it's body. It didn't matter, he could hit this bird out of the way any time he wanted. Everyone knew who that bird belonged to.

The audience turned to look at Kai who was standing with his launcher still out as he watched as his sister backed away. He'd jumped down from the stands just a little while ago when he had say the battle was over.

"It seems the bitbeast has been stopped. Maybe Kai knew this was going to happen?" Brad wondered as Dranzer stayed in between the two. It flapped it's wings trying to make Lotan back off if only for a little while.

"It would explain his match with Oliver." AJ agreed and watched as the cold blader walk up to his sister and slowly began to pull her away. He was quite happy with himself that he had managed to keep composed throughout this. On the inside he was yelling and shouting at that stupid dragon.

Lotan disappeared; Kai sighed and called Dranzer back, the blade came towards him. He quickly caught it - if Lotan was gone then it would mean he was back inside his sister.

He turned to let go of his sisters fragile arm, when he looked at her she whispered in an innocent voice,

./. Can't wait till I can destroy you and that bird of yours./. Lotan hissed under his breath, Kai frowned, that was not his sister saying that.
It was going to be such an easy battle especially since Kai was so protective of his little sister. He wouldn't want to hurt her.

Sota stood up, and wiped herself off, while walking away her brother walked the opposite as if nothing had ever happened. The audience were confused, worried, grateful and most of all shocked.

Author's Note: Most bladers got their matches missed simply because it would be…Pointless since most of them are clueless on what is happening. You'll find out who won what and who's going through to verse whom. It won't be so long since half of them are knocked out. -Good riddance to that. Phew.- Things are happening behind the scenes and I want to get them in too so some matches may be shortened. -Sigh- Plus I wasn't really sure if I was doing okay in describing the beyblattles at the start so I just didn't want people to get too bored -.-''

Well please review and tell me what you think. I think if I have time I'll practise writing a few beybattles - just to get me into the flow of things.
