Sleep well Sweetheart:

Kai and Tyson ran ahead of Loki since their legs were longer, but they slowed down every once in a while so he could catch up. They were just about to Hilary's road when Kai stopped in his tracks. Tyson skidded to a stop awkwardly and looked at his captain in confusion.

"Tyson, take Loki and go back to your house." Kai commanded. Tyson gave Kai an angry look and shook his head. By then Loki was standing next to Kai and shook his head as well.

"No way Kai. I'm coming with you guys. It's my family." Loki protested. When he noticed Tyson agreeing with him he couldn't help but slide a bit towards the navy blader.

Kai noticed the boy's movement and felt a little bit betrayed but stood his ground. "No Loki, you and Tyson should head back to the dojo. Tyson you need to tell Mr. Dickenson what's happening. And Loki I don't want you to get dragged into this. I promised Hilary I'd keep you all safe. I'm sorry but I cant risk you getting taken as well." Tyson realized his reasons and decided to give a slight nod even though he glared into Kai's crimson eyes.

Loki sighed in defeat and nodded as well. Kai smiled slightly and ruffled Loki's hair before doing something unexpected.

"I already promised to keep them safe, but now I'm promising that I'll get them back. Don't worry." He whispered into the boy's ear as Loki was pulled into a rare hug. Loki hugged Kai back slightly and nodded. He watched as the crimson eyed boy pushed him lightly towards Tyson before running off to the dark home.

Tyson waited a moment to let things soak in before taking Loki's hand and practically dragging the boy to the dojo. When they finally got to the familiar place Tyson let go of Loki's hand and ran to the phone. Loki felt as if he was invisible. Tyson refused to look at him while he spoke on the phone. The boy felt alone and abandoned. He let his bangs fall in his face as he slouched on the couch slightly. He hadn't even noticed when someone sat next to him.

"You must be Loki." An unfamiliar voice filled the air. Loki sensed his kindness but there was pity hidden in the golden eyes he was staring into at that moment. Ray brushed a strand of his black hair behind his ear before beginning to speak again. "So while you're waiting for everyone to hurry up and get back would you like something to eat?" the Chinese boy asked with genuine curiosity as he took in Loki's small form.

Loki gave a weak nod before taking the tan hand that led him to the kitchen. Ray walked around the counter and put an apron on that made Loki chuckle a bit. With the boy's long hair pulled back into a hair tie and an apron Ray looked like almost like a girl. Noticing Loki's small smile Ray continued what he was doing. "What would you like to eat?" he asked sweetly. He couldn't help but chuckle as Loki's stomach growled loudly.

"Meatbuns?" Loki asked shyly. When Ray stared at him in shock the boy began to get nervous. He felt a little better when Ray laughed and started to cook.

"And here I thought you didn't know how to talk…" Ray stated as he glanced over at the boy. Loki smiled at the Chinese boy before asking questions about Kai and beyblading.

Meanwhile, Kai had ran all the way to the house and hadn't stopped. He charged up the walkway and came to the door. When he realized it was open he ran inside. His heart was pounding in his chest as he forced his ears to pick up the tiniest sound in the house. He was getting worried when he didn't hear anything, but he let his heart slow a bit when the sound of heavy breathing filled the air. He slowly walked towards the sound and saw its source. Sitting on the floor passed out, obviously from drugs, was a woman Kai had never met before. He could only guess it was Hilary's mother and decided to continue his search.

It wasn't until he reached the kitchen that he heard slight gasps of air. They were faint but he could still track the sound. He soon found himself facing a door that he learned led to the basement. He practically jumped down the steps as he landed gracefully at the bottom. He stared into the darkness and heard faint sobs.

"Sora?" Kai called out in a whisper. He wasn't surprised when a small body clutched his leg. He looked down and from the faint light coming from the door Kai was able to make out the frail figure. Sora was slouched against the wall as blood covered his face. His brown and red hair stuck out in awkward angles and his clothes were torn slightly.

"Kai?" Sora choked through some blood that had been dripping from his mouth. Kai winced as he realized the boy was smiling slightly despite the pain.

"Shh, Sora it's okay. Help is on the way. Just hang in there." Kai whispered as he moved Sora's body slightly from its position against the wall. He was relieved when the boy was able to catch his balance and lean against the stairs. Guessing Kai's unasked question Sora simply pointed a shaky hand into the darkness.

Kai practically ran into the unwelcoming blackness of the basement. He heard the faint sounds of sirens outside the house and knew it was only a matter of time before the truth was revealed. He stopped paying attention to where he was walking and found himself trip on something soft on the floor. He landed painfully on the ground and found himself forget to breath when he found he was laying in puddle of thick liquid. Everything smelt like a sick mixture of salt and rust as Kai scanned desperately through the darkness. He found his hand land on something soft and cold and his heart skipped a beat as he realized what it was.

Hilary lay unconscious on the cold concrete. Her mahogany eyes seemed dull and faded and Kai wanted to cry.

"Hilary?" he choked out. He felt tears stinging his eyes but fought them back when he heard the faint sound of her raspy breaths.

"Kai." Hilary seemed to whisper but her voice was foreign. It seemed so weak and frail like if Kai wasn't careful she would simply slip away into the darkness. He could see the faint outline of her smile as she tried to speak, "I knew you'd come." She seemed to cough slightly on each word but continued to smile. Her broken figure seemed so eerie and ghostlike to Kai. He lifted her head slightly and rested it in his lap.

"Shh. Hilary, it's alright. I'm here. Don't worry, you're safe." He whispered but he knew it was no use to hold back the tears any longer. Hilary tried her best to lift a hand up and wiped some of the tears that were now pouring from his crimson eyes. "Hilary, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm such a weakling. I'm sorry." He began muttering. He could see her open her mouth to say something but soon the pain was too much and her body gave in. he saw her eyes close and knew she was finally unconscious.

"Sleep well sweetheart." Kai muttered as he heard the footsteps pounding down the stairs. 'She was finally safe.' Kai thought to himself as he let the tears fall freely.
