Chapter 35

"…And disappointed that you would think that I done something like this…" Adonis didn't open the blue book, but placed it down on the foot of the bed. He smiled as he took another look at his wife, lying there not even moving… Kai still had his eyes on the book. Then something his father said made him jerk his head up.

"I'm also shocked on how slow you were." Kai silently choked on air, he forgot how to breathe as shock ran throughout his system. He blinked as if trying to see how everything else fitted. Kai's hands clenched together, if he could walk then he would have hurt his father dearly.

"I did it. Now that you've heard I've admitted it, what would you like to know?" Adonis smiled and leaned back on the old chair. Kai was shocked to say the least, but after a few seconds Kai's mind swarmed with questions.

"Why? Why do you want to wreck an already fucked up family…" Every one of the Hiwatari children had a bad life even though they had come from a wealthy family. Sota had been hurt by the step-parents that were meant to look after her. Kai had been thrown into the Abbey, and Aton had been experimented on for years.

"Simple." Adonis smiled, and looked to face his son, and shrugged his shoulders as if he had been doing things that any father would have been. "Money," Kai blinked, he hadn't heard that right.

"Money, is that it?" Kai raised an eyebrow and then narrowed his eyes in speculation. He wasn't stupid, he was in a wheelchair and had no possible escape, and would have to keep Adonis talking or else he might end up taking advantage and end up killing him and his mother.

"Yes, money…Since I am exiled I get no money from the companies I used to own. I have none." Adonis closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, Kai hadn't noticed it before but his father was sometimes arrogant. More than Aton even was.

Kai shook his head slowly; trying to get the bangs that had fallen over his eye line and had began to annoy him. "I don't understand, how would killing us make you rich?" Sure Kai was responsible for taking a few thousand every year because of the posh private school he wishes he didn't attend every year.

"Well… Let's see, insurance then of course all profits go to my bank account only, with no wife or child to leech from it." Adonis was sure that his son would still be confused and have no idea what was going on. If only Lotan had succeeded in killing Sota and Kai… Now things were a little more complicated.

"But… How could you do this…to…?" Kai was mentally stuck; so many, too many thoughts flooded around, everything just was not in a verbal form for him to ask. Adonis didn't care that he had hurt many in the process; his own family had betrayed him many times before. He was simply getting revenge on his own blood.

"Enya…? Oh, we were never married because of love. You know how the higher class operates; they are married into families to make them wealthier. It just happened to be the Navia name that was selected." Selected would have had to have been the understatement of the century as all families were thought of and all facts and figures were looked at. It just so happened that the Navia family had a larger bank balance than a few others.

So his mother hated his father and vice versa? What a great thing to know. "So why didn't you just kill us all… End it right away…" There had been a lot of times were Adonis could have came in and smothered them all with a pillow, but it hadn't happened. Adonis had smiled and stopped swinging on his chair and slowly stood up, this action made Kai feel very wary of his father's next move.

"Well, I would have but then my lawyer told me of that will." Adonis could remember most of it; that damn Voltaire had probably knew of his plan to appear when he had died. The old cot couldn't die in peace and leave Adonis to wreck the family; the only good thing was that Enya hadn't said anything. Not like she was able to now.

Kai began to replay the memory of when he sat down in that office, with that lawyer; the one he had been told to say nothing too. No wonder. "So you wouldn't have got any money…" Kai suddenly wished he could go back in time and stop himself thinking about how evil Voltaire was, the old man was in fact saving their lives… From his own son.

A scowl appeared on Adonis's face and Kai couldn't help but growl in annoyance when he heard his father's reasons. "Yes, Boris would have got it all! That stupid fool, not like I told him he received any of it…" Not only had his own father tried to kill his family but now he was being selfish about the money he had.

"So you waited for Enya to terminate the will. But wouldn't Boris give you any - split it?" Kai knew Boris would be somewhat cowardly and use half lies and truths, but if his father had been close to them wouldn't they have been able to come up with some sort of deal?

"Not bloody well likely. He would boast. He would make me work for him. Not going to happen…" Kai knew for a fact that his father didn't like to work; even in the blue book the writer – which Kai had found out was Adonis, said that they hated work.

"If she knew, why didn't she tell us? Tell the police?" Kai was not going to start blaming his mother for not coming through and telling him about it. She did say she would tell him, it was just that Boris's – or Adonis's goons had got to her first.

"Because that's how emotional blackmail is used. Feeling guilty that she could not protect her offspring… Saying that I would send you all too horrible deaths if she did…" Adonis said in a melodramatic way one of which made Kai's blood boil.

A few seconds of silence ensued and Adonis just watched Kai from the corner of his eyes, meanwhile Kai was trying to think of things to ask. He was still completely confused about something's, he was sure that they would all be explained to him one day.

"Did you have anything to do with Lotan?" The thought had been pondering for a few days, one of which who knew about Lotan – which was only really family members, and of course Boris. If Boris knew where Lotan had been he would have used it years ago.

"Yes, since I was the one that found it… I just added the fact that I could… Kill two birds with one stone if I did it this way." The two Adonis was referring to was Kai, and Sota which in turn made Kai sick to his stomach, how could a father say those things.

"You failed." Kai stated, just taking his father's pride down a notch or two – just to keep him from boasting about what he had done over the years. Adonis smiled as he saw the glance that Kai made towards the door.

"Well you are here, and currently have no way of… Running and Enya is lying on a bed unable to move." Adonis liked those facts it meant he was still in control and the best thing was that he had locked the door when he had came in. Adonis would kill Enya and Kai and then walk away – run in a few minutes later and start to be emotional. It was a great plan.

Kai started muttering everything he had read in the blue book and replaced the unknown name with Adonis's, it had been his father that had created so much death in the short time, so much pain. "You started creating bitbeast using human genes…." Kai lowered his head to look at his mothers hand, it remained unmoving, and her face had gone deadly pale. At least Kai knew that she was still listening.

Adonis chuckled, thinking about that day, when Enya had ran up to him; with tears in her eyes when she had found out she had donated her own genes into destroying Tundra. "Enya told me to stop - I didn't and she told, and then I was exiled." Adonis narrowed his eyes at the word hating its very existence.

"You were the one that made Voltaire go mad…" Kai looked up towards his father again, thinking about the now seemingly kinder Voltaire Hiwatari. Kai knew that it didn't sound right, and it was possibly the strangest sentence in the entire world. Though at this time, he would have rather been back at the Abbey than be sitting in a wheelchair being told how and why his father had tried to kill him and his siblings.

Adonis added quickly, as if trying to defend himself from the offal deeds he had done. "That was love… His love for his dear wife that…" Adonis trailed off, remembering the time he had smothered the old lady with a pillow. Her screams had even been muffled and all of her attempts had been in vain in removing the pillow from her face.

"Suddenly past away." Kai rolled his eyes, thinking about how the family back then could have been so stupid to have actually let this crazy guy marry someone like Enya. Then again if Adonis had not been alive Sota, Aton or even Kai himself would not be living.

"How did you get so many people to…? Do this. Like the fake cop." Kai was hoping to go through everyone that had ever attacked them. He was still certain that the butler had played the part in flying the plane all the way to the Sahara.

"A fake policeman? No, it was just a rather greedy one, with hope of a holiday home in some hot country. The lawyer has always been under me. Like Boris…" Adonis liked money, if someone had enough then they could make everyone and anyone do anything they wanted. Everyone had their price, no matter how high or low it was.

"So who else played a role in this?" Kai wasn't sure he wanted to hear, but Adonis decided to tell his to-be-dead son anyway. "Your step-father and step-mother. Your step-mother was the one that tried turned off the heating and your step-father was the one that tied to poison Sota." Adonis smiled when Kai's head snapped around to look at him and gave him a confused look.

"So when you beat him up -." Kai wasn't sure why he felt so offended by that, but he did. Adonis waved his hands and tried to set something straight.

"Oh no that was real. He had forgotten our agreement. I didn't want him to hurt you. Since…" Again Adonis trailed off, thinking about things much more deeply than he should have been.

"Since…? What?" Kai wasn't so sure asking would be a great thing; he had an odd feeling in his stomach that seemed to tell him to shut up. Too late now.

"I despise you most." Adonis muttered gaining a shocked look as a reply, there was a strange silence again and Kai thought about asking, maybe Adonis would go ballistic and kill him and his mother – or would he stay his calm self?

"Why?" Kai tilted his head slightly, moving a little closer to the bedside of his mother.

Adonis didn't answer at first as if he were trying to come up with an answer on the spot, but he seemed to give Kai a more hateful look the longer he thought about it.

Then out of the blue Adonis started talking, as if he were talking about something disgusting, hissing the syllables and vowels that were covered in a invisible venom that stung at Kai's mind. "Simply because you were a mere child - and gained everyone's attention. Even my own father liked you better than me. Meanwhile I was cast aside for doing something in the name of science." It was unfair how he had done so many things in his life and then thrown out like some used object. He had hated everyone else at that point too, including his loving wife.

Kai gave his own disgusted look, hoping to inflict the same amount of pain, which seemed impossible.
"So why the hell did you… Want kids with Enya?" Adonis turned up his nose, thinking about that.

"I have never liked kids. They were her fathers' idea - to get the Hiwatari name in the spotlight for a few months…" Enya's father had enjoyed the Hiwatari family's limelight as much as Adonis loved money, just a shame that the old fool also met his match maker a little earlier than thought.

"Then what? You found out you could use our genes!" Kai yelled, hoping that someone would come in and stop the noise, hoping that someone would come in and take this mad man away from him, though it didn't sound like anyone was coming down the corridor.

"No, just yours." Adonis had been thoroughly shocked when Kai's genes had even worked, he had tried Aton's and they had failed miserably, for some reason.

"Why did you take us all the way to Sahara…" Another question that Kai had managed to think up, though he didn't really care what the answer was; he was confused on why someone – anyone would go to that length.

"So I could be taken. So I would be thought as dead or at least kidnapped." Kai thought about what his father had said. Of course it made better sense to clear his name completely and kill everyone slowly than it was having himself in the spotlight. All in all if a whole family is murdered and the father remains, with no injury whatsoever then it would get a bit suspicious.

"All that money wasted to make everyone think you were dead." Kai wanted his father to believe that he thought he was the worst human being on the planet, and he was not going to congratulate him on the plan even though it was simple and complex all at the same time.

"Well that wasn't it… I just wanted to make the situation even more stressful." The stress that managed to build up there was unbelievable. Even Max had trouble coping and ended up losing himself, his own bubbly personality somewhere between those walls and cell bars.

"Especially fun when I had this." Adonis brought out the small control and Kai eyed it suspiciously wondering what it done, and why Adonis had that horrible glint in his eye.

"Which is?" Kai narrowed his eyes, wondering, and thinking up ghastly scenarios about what that little button could do.

"It caused your headaches…" Adonis gave away a chuckle when Kai glared deadly at the controller. He then looked up and started glaring at his father that was finding this whole thing funny.

Kai took some time in thinking, and then blurted out something that he didn't really think over. "Why did you come back? Why couldn't you just hire a hit-man or something?" Adonis chuckled, he could tell Kai was panicking slightly and running out of things to say for the moment. He wasn't going to kill him – well not just yet.

"Well the police would end up finding, whoever it would be and hit-men are so unreliable." Adonis smiled when he heard an answer come swiftly from Kai, an answer that sounded cold and calm, and Adonis knew that that, was far from the truth.

"You would know…"

"Now I think I should end your mother's pain, as well as yours. Since you two are the only ones that know it is me."

"Aton knows." Adonis blinked, he had forgotten about that child, how could he kill him without too much suspicion? Then again he could just kill him at the same time he would kill Sota. Then all of a sudden Adonis began to laugh. The action had caught Kai by surprise, not knowing what could be so funny about what he had said. Kai had never liked people laughing especially when it was because he had said something.

"Stop with the hilarity that child is as blind as my father. He believes anything I tell him, whether he likes it or not. Hell he even told you about the fake information, which had more lies in it than I have made!" Adonis laughed, feeling as if this whole thing would run smoothly, as for Kai he watched him carefully and finally answered to the fits of giggles his father was in.

"That's impossible. You really will burn in hell…. All this for money." Kai hissed, his voice low and filled with hate for his father, he couldn't stand being in the same room as him; even when he didn't know he was the one responsible for everything,

"Don't forget hate." Kai spat back loudly, he had wanted to give some sort of answer that would show just how much Kai hated him at this moment. In fact Kai was sure he would always hate Adonis, definitely.

"You are rather smart." Adonis rolled his eyes, he knew that Kai was going to be more suspicious than anything else since he had been raised by the old man that had hated his guts since he was born.

"Also I have noticed the large drop in our family's accounts." Kai had only noticed it a few times, and that was when his own bank statement came in, showing him that he had about quarter of a million less that he would normally have.

Kai wanted to try to ask some more questions, but ended up being much more concerned when his father pulled out some latex gloves and fitted them quickly over his hands. He pulled out a small bottle of liquid and also a needle and syringe. Kai narrowed his eyes, he would put up a fight, he would not go down without one, even of it was his own father.

Adonis simply stabbed the needle into the bottle, and slowly took liquid from it, Kai watched as the syringe filled up. Kai gulped as Adonis tapped the side and said bluntly,

"Well, goodbye. I might as well kill you first…" A small smile came to his face and Kai wanted to stand, but remembered it was an impossible task for him to do. He waited till his father was closer, Adonis grabbed an arm and went to stick the needle in the boys arm. Of course Kai jerked his body back and hit his father in the mouth.

Adonis kept the syringe in hand and decided it would be easier if he simply let Kai watch as his mother died. Adonis walked around to the other side of the bed, and injected it into the small tube that went to the woman's main veins. Kai blinked and, he could not just sit there and watch his father kill his mother, he wouldn't forgive himself if he did that.

A growl escape Kai as he couldn't do anything except from watch, he tried to move, but his arms ached from the blisters and burns that were still healing. Enya's heat-rate quickened as did Kai's, both for different reasons. Adonis did it once more, filling the fine syringe with the transparent liquid and walked casually over to where Kai was sitting. Kai gulped, he would have to do something or else he would be killed too. In a matter of seconds Adonis had not inserted the needle, he had stabbed it into his sons shoulder. Another yelp of agony was heard. With as much force as his body could provide he knocked his father down, off his feet.

As long as Kai managed to keep Adonis in the room with the syringe, with the gloves and syringe, he might be caught. There was only one problem with the plan.

Kai's eye sight managed to fail him as his head turned lighter, feeling as if he could just float into the air. His body no longer moved to his will and he lay there limb as the poison coursed through his body. Kai remembered seeing his father standing up, and then the door rattling… Then something else happened… Then, a blob of purple came in… Then his father was lying on the floor near him. Kai tried to call out to his brother, put only managed a few gurgles as his throat swelled.

No one was sure when they had heard about it, but when the media was told that Enya Hiwatari had died because her husband had murdered her; no one could have been more baffled.

Kai was sitting down, staring at his reflection but not taking anything else in. He would have never guessed that he would be going to his mothers funeral so early in life. He had already thought she was dead at one point, and to have her for a few moments then to be taken brutally away again. It just wasn't fair. He sat with a blank expression, he wasn't sure why he felt so – unaffected, it was as if the news hadn't sunk in just yet.

He had dressed like everyone that one day – dressed in black. Morning the loss of Enya, of his mother, the worst part was trying to explain Sota what had happened. "Kai, why is mummy gone again?" Sota sniffed as she looked down at her feet. Her usual long hair was in a bun and her dress was pure black, Kai sighed.

"She wanted to stay but couldn't…" He thought that maybe he should blame this all on Adonis, but the thought of Sota knowing that her father was the reason she had been deprived of a mother was just not for an eight year old to know. Kai gave a reassuring smirk one that Sota knew he was simply putting on.

"She wants you to be happy and she thinks that you will be happy even if she's not here." It was partly true, not like Kai knew what Enya had been thinking about when she had died, that would remain a mystery, one that no one would be able to solve.

Sota said nothing more, she hadn't really, ever talked to her mother – she had seen her before but in a condition that worried even the nurses that had taken care of her. The only thing that the eight year old girl knew was that everyone was sad for her leaving, and that must have meant she was a good person. Especially if Kai was like this.

The funeral had taken place with only the BladeBreakers, Aton, and Sota present with the priest as well. Even though Sota had not met her mother she was the only one that cried when the casket was lowered into the six foot hole that was dug especially for her.

Kai kept Sota near him, or the other way around, Sota kept near Kai. She had known that since a few days ago he had been what she had called… 'Emotion Collapse.' She hadn't really wanted to find her brother punching the wall until his hand bled, he seemed much more easily angered than usual. Then there was the almost physical fight Tyson, Kai and Aton almost had. She hadn't known what had caused the rage that her older brother was expressing.

That was until she had heard about her mother, then everything just made sense, and she went to Kai constantly wondering why he kept muttering that it was his fault. What had he done wrong? Sota was confused more than anything else; she just wanted to have the nice, calm brother back.

Sota held onto Kai's hand, as if they would die if they let each other go, Kai was grateful in a way; he knew he wasn't alone in his grief. He had some tension and worry headaches, which were causing him even more grief that just made him more unapproachable.

The gravestone stood tall, a marble statue of an angle, with her arms out, and wings spread wide as proudly as a phoenix. Kai stood and stared at that for most of the funeral. The priest was boring him to say the least – he didn't want to remember how his mother died. Why did he have to be the one that was there, defenseless yet again and couldn't help? He gripped his little sister's hand tighter, he hated funerals.

After the funeral which was surrounded by white flowers – an old tradition, the whole group went back to the Hiwatari Manor. Everyone stayed silent, as they didn't know what to say to the cold captain that appeared to be looking off into space, only Sota talked and amused people.

"How are you coping?" Rei smiled lightly not wanting to seem too happy at the wake of Kai's mother. Kai blankly looked up at Rei from where he was sitting he just didn't feel as if he were being affected, but he knew he was.

"I'm okay." He shrugged and Rei gave him a concerned look and walked back to where Tyson and the others were. This was a time for Kai and the rest of the Hiwatari siblings should just talk. Though the only good thing that came out of it was that Kai was not giving his normal repetitive answer of 'I'm fine.'

The year ended, and even Tyson had to admit from the start it hadn't been a great year, an exciting one, but not a great one. Sorrow and the other sins possessing people, one of them Kai, then almost them all being killed by the loony that was Voltaire. Then after that; Adonis tried to kill his family. It was the most eventful year, Kai had certainly agreed. Not the happiest.

Adonis; Kai's stepfather, Kai's stepmother, the Butler, the corrupted policeman, and Boris were taken to court. Of course the Butler and the policeman were stripped of their job and any money they had earned to do any tasks that Boris or Adonis had told them to. Plus they were given a few months sentence and to do community service when they got out.

The step-parents were jailed, for attempted murder on three-counts; also Kai managed to add in a child abuse charge just to get even with them. They got years in a medium security prison, with no bail.

Adonis and Boris were the ones that suffered most; Boris lost all of his regained wealth and was placed back into the main bank account of the Hiwatari family. Adonis was taken to prison and charge with attempted-murder, conspiracy to kill and also cold-blooded murder. The judge that took all of these guilty men told Adonis that, "You are the worst and most foul father that has graced this earth. You should have protected them, not tried to kill them for money." Adonis smiled after he had said that. The judge gave another few months onto their life sentence just for the cold way they had brushed the sentences off.

Of course something would have to be done, since Aton was the oldest he inherited everything, the companies and the manor, plus others estates around the world. Kai was grateful that Sota was now not going to be alone all summer and locked inside with people he knew would cause her ill-harm. He was also fairly happy that he and Aton could talk for at least a few hours without arguing. It was a start.

Tyson was named World Champion once again, though Kai did want the title he was still believed to be mourning for the loss of his mother; which no one knew for a fact since he would avoid any conversation with the word 'mother ' or 'Enya.' Even though Tyson did win (again) he did not boast as normal, but had matured, possibly because of how many times he and his friends had their lives endangered. Max had also calmed down slightly, and Rei had been made a half-brother by Sota's command, which everyone found fairly comical.

The BladeBreakers were told – surprisingly – that they could come and visit is they wanted to, as long as it was in reason. Of course the invitation was not from the captain himself, but rather his little sister, the team decided to stay for a little while longer, until school started again at least. Things were okay now in the Hiwatari home, now that the loony father and grandfather were gone...
