Foreva Friends
(Don't own Beyblade) Chapter 15-Kai stopped reading, keeping his back to the person as they came further into the room.
"I'll ask you again, what are you doing in my room!"
Kai turned around slowly, facing the midnight haired teen that had just caught him, "Tyson…I…"
"Looking for anything in particular there?" Tyson asked looking down at his desk, "Maybe this?" he continued holding Dragoon up, his still voice lacing anger towards Kai.
Kai looked at Dragoon, "I…uh…" Kai stuttered, before sighing as he locked gazes with rusty brown, "I'm sorry" he whispered, putting the note down before running to the window and jumping out.
Tyson walked over to his desk, where Kai had been moments before and took the note, "Oh Kai…" he sighed sadly. He placed the note back in the box and put the box back on the shelf before walking out of his room.
As he walked past the living room, Hiro called out to him,
"You ok, Tyson?"
Tyson looked back at his brother and smiled sadly, "Yeah, I just need some fresh air, I'll be back soon"
"Ok, just don't stay out to late" he replied
Tyson nodded before leaving the Dojo.

Kai raced back to the mansion, the mission forgotten, replaced with the want to remember his past.
Once he arrived he snuck up to his room and began to search for anything that would help him remember.
An hour went by with no luck.
"Damn it, there must be something here!" Kai growled in frustration
One of the passing maids heard his outburst and went over to check on him.
"Master Kai?" she asked opening the door
Kai glanced up at the young woman, "Oh it's just you Anna"
"Shouldn't you be down stairs with Mister Voltaire?"
"He doesn't know I'm here, I'm suppose to be doing his stupid mission, he doesn't need to know I'm back"
"Very well, Master Kai… uh, may I inquire as to what you are doing?"
Kai turned back and continued to search, "I'm looking for something that will help me" he explained
Anna blinked, "Help you with what, Master Kai?"
"Help me remember my past, the one before I arrived here… the past I shared with Tyson" he replied, his voice becoming a whisper towards the end.
Anna sighed sadly, "I see… I uh… I have something that may help you…"
Kai glanced over his shoulder at her, confusion and hope shinning in his eyes, "…You do?…"
Anna nodded "Follow me"
Kai followed her down the hall and up a flight of stairs before she stopped at a room, one of the many he hadn't been in.
Once he entered, Anna shut the door quietly after checking to see if anyone had spotted them.
She then made her way over to the small dusty cupboard in the corner of the room, opening it before taking something out.
Kai watched as she handed him an old, worn-out box with his name on it. He looked up at Anna in confusion.
"You were eight when Mister Voltaire adopted you and brought you here. This was the only thing you had brought" she explained
Kai frowned, looking back at the box in his hands, "Why was it taken from me?"
Anna sighed sadly, "Once you arrived, Mister Voltaire ordered me to destroy all your possessions so he could make you forget about your past at the orphanage and start fresh. I couldn't destroy it though, I knew one day you would begin to remember and so I kept it, I hid it in here until that day; today"
Kai opened the box before glancing back up at Anna, "Thank you"
Anna smiled, "I hope it helps you remember your past" with that she left Kai in the room.
Kai sat on the floor, the box in his lap as he began to lift some of the photos out of the box. Under the photos laid across a note book was a necklace. Slowly he took it out of the box, and examined it closely. 'Tyson and Kai, foreva friends' Kai read as images from his past flew around his head.
He glanced down at the notebook, picking it up after putting the necklace on. He moved into a more comfortable position, leaning against the wall as he opened the book and began to read from it.
It was over an hour by the time he had finished reading. He closed his eyes as the memories of his past became clear.
Sighing he placed the photos and book back into the box, and stood up. He moved quietly towards the door, opening it a little to peak out into the hall. Seeing no one around, he crept out and headed to his room.
He decided he should head down to meet Voltaire, even though he knew he'd get punished for not obeying his orders. With that in mind he hid the box under his bed and headed down stairs towards Voltaire's office, but stopped as he heard voices in the living room.
As quiet as possible he moved a little closer to try and hear what was being said:
"Where is he, he was supposed to report back with Dragoon more than an hour ago" Voltaire asked, his voice clearly showing he wasn't happy
"We've got the guys looking for him, sir, it's only a matter of time before we find him" Boris replied
"Forget about that trouble maker, we need to concentrate on getting Dragoon, without it, our plan is useless. Did you take care of that Tyson kid's Grandfather like I asked?"
Kai frowned.
"Yes sir. His funeral was a couple of days ago"
Kai began to feel the anger rise through him.
"Good, that will make it easier to obtain the sacred spirit. Boris, find out where the kid lives, call back the search and get everyone to be ready to move in three days. Do whatever it takes to obtain Dragoon understand" Voltaire explained
"Consider it done sir, no one will get in our way" Boris replied
"As for that trouble maker Ka--" Voltaire started
"What are you gonna do about me!" Kai stepped into view, as he glared at the two men standing in front of him
"Kai, you have failed for the last ti---"
"I haven't failed anything, I quit this stupid little mission thing of yours a while ago and I won't let you hurt Tyson or any more people he cares about!" Kai stated firmly
"You disobedient child, there's nothing you can do to stop us, you will be punished for disobeying me. Boris!" Voltaire ordered
"With pleasure sir" Boris replied
Kai turned and began to run.
Boris pulled out a whistle and blew into it.
Seconds later several muscled men arrived and cornered Kai, gabbing his arms and legs to try and stop him struggling.
Boris chuckled, "You can't get away that easily, now its time to teach traitors a lesson" with that he punched Kai in the face.
The beating continued for half an hour or more. By the time Boris was finished Kai's body was black and blue, full of bruises, his clothes were torn and ripped in several places and he was bleeding in a few places from where the whip had cut at his skin.
"Just throw him on his bed and lock the door on your way out" Boris ordered the muscled men before entering Voltaire's office.
"Did you take care of him?"
"He won't be moving for a while; he poses no threat to the plan"
"Good. Now, the plan for obtaining Dragoon…"
---------
Anna ran quietly up the stairs towards Kai's room. She tried the door handle to find it locked. 'Damn it' she thought to herself as she glanced around to see if anyone was coming. She took a bobby pin from her hair and stuck it in the lock, playing around with it until she heard a soft click. Glancing around again, she entered the room.
"Master Kai…" she whispered
Kai groaned in pain.
Anna walked up to the bed, her eyes showing sympathy as she looked at Kai, "Come, we don't have much time"
Kai tried to sit up, closing his eyes tight as pain soared through his body, "Wh..ere?"
Anna walked up to him and helped him to stand slowly, "I'm going to get you out of here, you need to get to Tyson and warn him" she explained, helping him walk to the bedroom door.
"Th..an..k yo..u" he gasped, his voice hoarse
"Shh don't talk, save your energy" she whispered, as she led him down the stairs towards the front door.
She opened the door and took him outside, "You'll have to go from here on your own, will you be ok?"
Kai nodded, and began to limp down the driveway, onto the path towards Tyson's dojo.
About a block from the dojo his legs began to feel like jelly. 'Come… on just a little… bit further… so tired…' Kai's breath became ragged, his vision blurred as he felt light headed. He stopped and lent against the concrete wall beside him. His eye lids became heavy as he slid down the wall; breathing became harder as darkness swam around his head. 'need…to…g..et u…p' he thought to himself as he used the wall for support to get up. Suddenly his mind went black, his vision covered in darkness as he fell onto the cold concrete path, unconscious.
