Chapter 5: Passage Through Time
You've cried for about an hour straight. "Why? Why do I have to cry?" you ask yourself. You finally stop crying and go outside to sit on your balcony. It starts to rain and you calm down. Rain always calms you when you're upset. "Valkov." You turn around to see Kai leaning on the doorway. You give him a confused look. "Kira Valkov. That's your name isn't it? You're Tala's sister." Kai says. You look a way. "How'd you know?" you ask him. "You have the same glares and that scar on your arm. Tala has one like that, too." You chuckle a little. Kai smirks. "You're really observant aren't you?" Kai just nods. Then you sneeze. "You had better come in. You'll get sick if you stay out any longer." Kai says softly. "I'm fine." you say stubbornly. Kai sighs. "Don't make me carry you in." You sit down. "I'm fine." Kai groans and walks towards you. You didn't think he would do anything so stayed where you were. The next thing you know, Kai's carrying you bridal style towards your room. You start blushing and look at Kai. You couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked with the moonlight reflecting on his face. You see that he was looking at you, too. Your eyes met and you got lost in his deep, cold, gray eyes. You get a hold of yourself and look away blushing. Kai just smirks, then sits you gently on your couch and sits beside you, staring intently. You look back at him and see questions in his eyes. It's your turn to sigh. (Me: Ha1 I bet you thought he was going to kiss you. No romance yet! "I guess you want to know about my past right?" you say. Kai nods. "Ok. It all started 12 years ago..." you begin.
12 years ago. Age: 5
"Happy birthday Kiwa!" your brother, Tala, shouts. "Happy birthday Tala!" a 5-year-old version of you shouts and you were very happy. "Open this fiwst(first) Tala." "Otay(okay), Kiwa." Tala opens the present that was from you. It was a beyblade you had saw him looking at in the toy store. "Wow!" "Open the box." you say, so he does. Something falls out of the box and Tala picks it up. It was a bit-chip. "So?" you ask. "Cool. I tink(think)I'll call it Wolborg." Tala says as he looks proudly at his new bit-beast. "Now open yours Kiwa." You open your present to also find a beyblade. You look at the bit-chip and see a blue phoenix. "It's beautiful Tala. I'll call her Dwea(Drea)." you say. "Mommy look at what big bwoder(brother) got me." "Yes. It's wonderful dear." she says with a sad smile. FF 3 weeks-- "But mommy, I don't wanna go!" Tala cries. "I'm sorry Tala, but you have to go." your mother replies. "But why can't I go with him?" you ask. "Because it's an all boys school, Kira. I'm sorry you two. Tala's going and that's final." she says as she leaves. You fall to your knees and cry. "What if we never seen each other again?" you cry. Tala embraces you in a tight hug, comforting you. "We will see each other again and we'll recognize each other." Tala says stubbornly. "How?" you ask. Tala takes out a knife and grabs your arm. "This is going to hurt. Don't scream." Tala says as he puts the knife to your upper are. "T-Tala? W-what are you d-doing?" "I'm carving your initials in your arm that way we'll know who we are. You get to do this to me next. Now hold still." You put a pillow to your head to muffle your screams. That night was painful for both of you. Both physically and emotionally.
Next morning
You stood behind your father as your family waited for a man to come take Tala to his new school. His school was the Biovolt Abby. (Me: I think that's what it's called.) You had heard it was more like a boot camp than a school. "Ah, this must be Tala." someone says. You look up to see a man dressed quite nicely looking at Tala. "Yes. That's Tala. Tala, this is Boris." your father says. "And what's your name, young lady?" Boris asks looking at you. He bends down to your level. "K-Kiwa." you say shyly. "Kira, huh? Well Kira how would you like to come see your brother on the holidays?" You look at him surprised. "Really?" Boris nods. "Wow. I'd wove(love) to come see him!" you exclaim happily. Boris smiles and it kinda creeps you out but you don't notice it. "It's time to got Tala." Boris says turning towards the car. Tala nods and turns towards you. You embrace him tightly as put something in his pocket. "You almost forgot him." you whisper so only he can hear you. "Don't forget to bring her when you visit." he whispers back. You nod as tears start to sting your eyes. You two part and Tala gets in the car as tears stream down your face. That was the last time you saw Tala for 12 years because the next week your parents were murdered and your home set a flame. You barely escaped and were lost in the wild for a month with hardly anything to eat or drink. Then after a month, a woman in a lab coat found you. "Oh my! How did you get out little girl?" she asks rushing over to you. "Wa...water." you say so softly she almost can't hear you. "Yes. Of course I bet your starving." So she takes you somewhere but you don't know where. You're too weak to keep your eyes open. You fall in to a light coma.
You wake up to find yourself laying on a couch. You sit up. "Where am I?" you ask yourself. "Good you're awake. I thought you'd be out for a while." someone says. You look towards your side and see the lady from before. "How'd I get here?" you ask carefully. You didn't know who this was or what they wanted. "It's ok. I'm not going to do anything to you. My names Cher and I carried you in here." Cher says comfortingly. You begin to relax a little. "So this is the girl you found? She recovered faster than expected." someone says. You look towards the doorway to see a bald old man standing there. "Oh hello Dr. Alan. Yes she did and she's doing quite well, sir." Cher says respectfully. Judging by her tone of voice, you thought this was the man in charge. "Umm... thanks for allowing me to stay here. But I need to leave." you say. "But where will you go?" Cher asks. "Moscow. My brother's there. I have to see him." "Well I'm sorry, young lady, but you need to recover your strength. And some how repay us. We expect something back from you." Dr. Alan says sternly. You looked at him fearfully. "Doctor, is this really needed? She's just a little girl." Dr. Alan just gives Cher a emotionless look, then left. You grabbed Cher's leg and she looks at you. She gives you a sad smile. "Don't worry. I'll watch after you." she says in a mothering tone.
It's been a year now and you have been experimented on non-stop. You thought about ending it all every night but didn't because you had hope someone would save you. Cher hated what the others were doing to you and took care of you every time she had a chance to. One night she told you she was sick of what they were doing to you and said you were going to escape that night. So she helped you escape but you almost got captured but Cher helped you and told you where to go and stayed behind. You wondered around for a while, getting food more than you did before. Well I'm gonna sum this up. You met Daichi and became good friends with him and let him call you 'sis' because he didn't have any siblings. Then you met his parents and they let you live them and treated you like a kid of their own. Then you won the world championships. You left to find your brother and met Midori and the Canadian team. Then...
Present
"Then something happened. I don't want to relive it again. Kai don't make me relive it!" you say desperately, afraid he'd make you tell him. That was one incident you didn't want to tell anyone yet. Then Kai does something that surprises you. He hugs you tightly and strokes your hair. "Don't worry you don't have to tell me until you're ready to." he says comfortingly. You cry, burying your head in his shoulder. You gripped his shirt tightly, trying to calm yourself down. You felt safe in his arms, something few could make you feel. You finally stop crying. You look up at Kai. "Thanks." you say hoarsely. He lifts up your chin. "Anytime." he says. He lets you go and walks towards the door. He pauses at the door. "Let's keep this between us ok?" You nod, then Kai gives you a rare smile and you smile back. He leaves and you fall asleep.
Morning
You woke up fresh and ready for that night. It was the opening ceremony for the tournament. You head down stairs to see that everyone was up. You pass everyone and go get something to eat. "Morning, Kira." Midori says emotionlessly. (Me: Remember she was dared to be emotionless for a day.) You just nod. "Not talkative in the morning, huh?" Ray says. "You'll see why tonight." was all you said. You look at Midori and she nods. You walk out the door and in your car. It was a 2005 Dodge Viper. You go to the stadium to get read for tonight.
