DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN BEYBLADE OR IT'S CHARACTERS.

Also if you'd like to use Loki and Sora go for it, but please ask before you do. (smiles) Here's chapter 7.

♦♦♦♦

Broken Promises and guardian angels:

Kai could hardly understand what was being said around him as he was yanked away from the brunette. He recognized the smell of medicines and knew that help had arrived. Even though he was happy that Hilary was safe he felt himself sobbing and resisting the grasp of one of the men that had pulled him away.

"Kai Hiwatari?" the man asked cautiously. Kai's crimson eyes flashed dangerously in his direction as he continued to pull away. He could smell blood on this man and wasn't sure whose it was. He could see that the man was a police officer as well and that didn't help Kai's distrust of the man.

"Where's Sora." Kai heard himself say. He wasn't asking a question. The man felt what Kai really meant and seemed to flinch a bit as his dark eyes flashed a bit of nervousness.

What Kai meant to say was, 'Get the hell away from me and bring me Sora.' Kai noticed the man drag him slightly towards the steps where Sora was sitting quietly.

"Sora." Kai muttered as he dragged his feet over to where the boy was. A doctor was asking him questions and checking him over to make sure he wasn't going to die. Sora was answering quietly as if numb from everything around him. When the boy noticed Kai slouching in front of him his face lit up.

"KAI!" the boy coughed out. Despite the doctor's disapproval Sora opened his arms and Kai took him in a hug.

"Hey kiddo, how you holding up." Kai heard himself ask. His crimson eyes went blank as he felt a hand go firmly down on his shoulder.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you in, son." The man whispered so Sora wouldn't hear. Kai glared up at the man but nodded anyway. He smiled a bit at Sora in reassurance before following the man up the stairs.

"I'm not leaving without them." Kai mumbled. The man looked at him sternly before finally giving in.

"Look, you broke out of prison. All evidence is mixed up and that's the only thing we know for sure. Kai, even if you were only trying to help you were convicted of kidnapping and now assault." The man stopped as he let his words soak in.

"You're sick Kai. You thought you were saving them from their mother when in reality you drugged the mother, took them to the basement, and attacked them ruthlessly." He continued. Kai stared at him in shock. 'How could this be happening?' he thought to himself. 'How could they even think I was hurting Hilary or Sora?'

"Kai?" the man was looking into his dull crimson eyes. The confidence and power they held had burned out the moment Hilary was taken from him. There was no way he would just let that woman get away with what she'd done. He looked at the dark stairs and back at the man before speaking.

"You are full of shit. Do you honestly believe what you're saying? You expect me to believe that I turned their mother into a drug addict? That it was my fault that the woman decided to go psychotic and beat her children? BULLSHIT!" Kai screamed at the man in front of him. As Kai's crimson eyes glared ruthlessly at him, the man seemed to understand what was really going on, but Kai refused to stop there.

"JUST LOOK AT THAT BOY DOWN THERE. DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT HE'D BE LOOKING AT ME LIKE HIS BROTHER IF I HAD BEATEN HIM TO A PULP? USE SOME COMMON GOD DAMN SENSE! I BROKE OUT BECAUSE YOU ASSHOLES MADE A MISTAKE. YOU BLAMED ME BECAUSE SOME WOMAN POINTED THE BLAME AWAY FROM HERSELF. HILARY AND THE TWINS CAME TO LIVE WITH ME BECAUSE THEY WERE SCARED THAT SHE WOULD KILL THEM!" Kai yelled. His crimson eyes were flashing angrily at the man like if he looked hard enough the man would burst into flames. "You want me to go back to jail? Fine, but don't you dare blame me because you screwed up." Kai hissed dangerously.

The man stared at him for a second before smiling slightly. "You love them, don't you?" he asked. Kai nodded his head cautiously before realizing that the man had put a hand on his shoulder. "You're not going to jail, Kai." He muttered, "You'd just bust out again anyway. I understand what happened. Don't worry I'll help you. I promise." He continued.

'Promise.' Kai thought to himself before he felt tears in his eyes again. He soon found himself crying harder than ever before. 'I was the one who screwed up. Not the police, not Hilary's mother, me, I screwed up.' He thought to himself as he cried. The man simply rubbed his back awkwardly as he attempted to comfort the now sobbing teen.

Kai heard the doctors coming up the stairs as he was starting to calm himself. The dragged a stretcher and he could barely hear what they were yelling through the ringing in his ears.

"She's alive! Call the hospital tell her we're bringing her in now. Teenage female, 17 years old…" One woman yelled as Hilary's body was taken from the house.

"Hilary!" Kai heard Sora wail as the boy tripped up the stairs. He heard the sounds of someone trying to calm him down but the boy was sobbing harder than ever.

"Sora." Kai muttered as he hastily wiped his tears and went to the small figure, ignoring the man's smile as he left.

Almost as soon as Kai was two steps down the stairs he found Sora's broken figure thrashing away from the grips of doctors.

"Hilary! Loki! Kai!" the boy wailed. Kai's heart fell at the sight of the boy. The doctor who had been in charge of him was now trying to inject him with some sort of sedative.

"NO! STOP IT! HILARY! KAI!" Sora was now screaming as if the doctor was murdering him. Kai couldn't bear the sight or the noise and decided to say something.

"STOP IT!" Kai yelled. It was as if time itself had stopped. Sora stopped screaming and the tears were falling silently down his face. The doctor stared at Kai in shock with the needle in hand. Everyone in the basement instantly stopped what they were doing and looked over at the boy. Kai looked into Sora's green eyes and the boy sobbed again. The doctor watched as the boy lunged at Kai and buried his face in the teenager's chest.

"Kai…I…Don't…Like…This." Sora choked through his sobs. Kai rubbed his back and the boy began to shake uncontrollably. Kai leaned down a bit so Sora could throw his arms around the boy's neck. Kai was carrying the boy in the stairs as the doctor put away the sedatives.

Sora seemed to calm down as he buried his face in the warmth of Kai's scarf. "Where's Loki?" Sora practically whispered. His voice was nearly gone from all the crying and Kai just held him a moment before answering.

"Loki's safe. He's over at Tyson's." Kai said. As he stroked the boy's head softly, Sora fell into a peaceful sleep. Kai looked at the police officer who he was speaking to before. He figured his crimson eyes were pleading for the man to say something because he sighed and began to speak softly to Kai.

"The girl who just left was taken to the hospital down on Main Street. If you'd like I'll take you there." As Kai nodded they both walked out to a white squad car that had been parked outside. The officer started the engine and Kai had to say something.

"Could we make a quick stop? Her little brother, Loki, is over at Tyson Granger's house right now." Kai mumbled. The man nodded before pulling over in front of the dojo.

Kai glanced up as he noticed Loki running out to meet them. Tyson and Ray were behind him and Mr. Dickenson could be seen in his car waiting.

"Kai! Sora!" Loki yelled, "I want to ride with you guys, please Kai?" the boy pleaded. Kai realized he didn't have the heart or energy to turn the boy down and Loki jumped into the seat beside him.

Tyson walked over to the window and knocked on the glass. As the policeman rolled the window down from where he sat in the front seat Tyson began to explain.

"We'll meet you at the hospital. We're going to get Max and Kenny first. Call us if something happens." Tyson stated before turning back towards the others. Kai nodded and they headed to the hospital.

Loki and Sora raced into the building with Kai following closely behind. Kai scrunched his nose in disgust when he smelt the strong stench of sterilizers and bleach. It was then that he remembered just how much he hated hospitals. He had spent almost three years of his childhood in them. Kai shuddered from the memories and instinctively brought his hand to the scar on his neck. He suddenly felt as though everyone could see the mark through the thick, white scarf.

"We're looking for our sister, Hilary." Kai heard Loki say to the woman at the desk. He was brought out of his trance and followed the woman as she led them to a room.

"She's asleep but you can go see her." The woman said as she left the three of them alone in the room.

Kai looked at Hilary's helpless form and felt sick to his stomach. 'This is all my fault.' He thought to himself as his heart beat mimicked Hilary's. Loki and Sora were standing on either side of the bed speaking softly to the unconscious girl.

"Hilary, it's Loki. Sora and Kai are here too! Please wake up…" Kai listened quietly. He felt as though the room was closing in on him as he stared at the girl's pale face. It seemed like she was hooked up to every machine you could think of. Kai felt so horrible for not being able to protect the girl that he had an urge to run out of the room. He stood close to the door awkwardly and refused to relax the entire time Loki and Sora were trying to talk to her.

The nurse came in an hour or so later and the twins shuffled out reluctantly for their dinners. Kai, however, was allowed to stay longer with the brunette. He could hear Tyson and the others outside the room but completely ignored them as he sat down next to the girl. He lifted one hand into his and kissed it lightly. He thought he felt Hilary's body tense and her eyes flutter slightly but ignored it.

"Hilary, even if you can't hear me, I need to tell you something. I know that everyone thinks I'm this tough guy, but Hilary, you need to know something about me. I'm not strong, not at all. I thought I was, but then I tried to protect you, and the twins. Hilary, I thought I could do it, but it was then that I realized I'm weaker than I thought. I broke my promise to you and I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect you or your brothers and I hate myself for it. But Hilary, I love you so much, please wake up. Please." Kai whispered his confession. He laid his head down and kissed her hand again. He felt tears stinging his eyes again, but refused to let them fall.

"I love you too, Kai." A voice whispered so softly that Kai thought he had imagined it. He looked up in surprise and found himself staring into weak but still brilliant Mahogany eyes. He smiled at the girl as she brushed a piece of his slate colored bangs out of his face. "I love you so much. And don't you ever think that you failed me. If it weren't for you, me and my brothers would probably be dead. Kai, you're my guardian angel and I'm in love with you." Hilary's voice was cracking slightly but she was able to say those words clearly.

She smiled a weak but bright smile as Kai looked at her with his loving crimson eyes.

"I love you Hilary." He whispered as he got up and kissed her lightly on the cheek, "I will always love you, Hilary."

CWG: YAY There's chapter 7. I hope you enjoyed. I'm not sure if this is the ending or I'll make a sort of 'Epilogue' (Is that what it's called?) What do you guys think?
