Chapter 12

The older boys left. Like usual. Tala went hyper, and played with Bryan - like usual.

However, Spencer couldn't help but notice the small change in Kai, he was now just laying in his own bed - usually he would be up first, or at least would not just lie in bed all day.

Still the two other boys were running around playing a game of tag once again. Tala had ignored Kai since he woke up and had been somewhat distracted by Bryan.

Spencer had decided that it would be best for all of them to stay together, even if Bryan and Kai may want to rip each others heads off at one point in their lives.

The door opened and the boys froze looking to see a older man now looking between them all. "Tala, Bryan, Spencer. Come with me." Kai looked up at the man, wondering if he had just forgotten to say his name or not. Just to be on the safe side Kai got out of bed, and walked over to the door, which Spencer had managed to get to first.

"Not you." The man glared at the small bluenette, upon hearing this Tala stopped at looked at Kai wondering why he wasn't going to be going with them.

"Why can't he come?" Tala walked over and stood next to Kai, yet did not look at the confused red-eyed boy. The man sneered and decided to just be cruel.

"Because he has red eyes." Kai physically winced, the comment was obviously hurtful in a way. Tala frowned and then turned to face the bluenette.

"So I have red hair!" Tala grabbed Kai's hand with both of his and began to pulled the boy slowly closer to the door, grinning at the frowning bluenette. The man however was not pleased and decided it would be best just to grab them and get them out of this room quickly.

The man grabbed Bryan and Tala - then ordered the older much more obedient Spencer out. Leaving Kai all alone in the room. Kai stared up at the door wondering if the man would come back, with Tala and Bryan - or maybe Spencer to pop his head around the door and tell him to follow. But none of them came back.

Kai was alone. Again.

The boys stayed quiet, as the were pushed into a huge room, that had a difference in humidity - the warm water that could be smelt with a mix of soap and something along the lines of fire.

The boys walked forward as they were instructed too, as the walked past a few breaks in the large walls they say that it was in fact a shower room.

The boys soon stood alone in small squares, its walls were over seven foot, that seemed endless to the small children. A small shower hose was up above, but it did not turn on, not yet.

A voice called, that sounded like a recording told the boys to discard their old clothes. As they did so, a small noise began and it sped up slowly. Suddenly surprising all of the boys the shower turned on sending cold water all over the half naked boys. Tala squealed and yelled, as the cold water began to heat up slightly.

Bryan had managed to take most of his clothes off before the freezing water blasted over him, he shivered and let out a whimper. Spencer on the other hand had been here a few times before and knew that it was best to get in and out quickly before they ended up with a rotten cold.

The boys clothes were collected, leaving them in the small enclosed showers. While their clothes were dropped into a furnace burning them completely.

Tala's overall and his old clothes - still stained with his mothers and fathers blood was lost for all eternity. Still new clothes came, that looked more like jump-suits than anything else, they again had no colour. Simple grey. It was possible that it had been black at one point but constant cleaning had slowly taken they colour from it.

The boys heard any other recorded voice and the shower exit opened, and towels were thrown in. It was one of the first times Tala had taken a shower. He was certainly not enjoying it.

Kai sat down sulking that everyone else was allowed to go, and he was left here in a boring old room. The boy was slightly surprised to find himself sitting on Tala's bed rather than his own. He frowned and stood up, heading over to his own bed.

He plopped down, the bed bouncing slightly and a sigh escaping his mouth. He was thinking about why he was here, why he was even allowed to speak with the other boys. Last time he had had a cellmate he had been verbally attacked by his grandfather for letting his guard down. Maybe this was a test?

It was a long one if it was one... Kai looked around and then something caught his eye. One of the older boys bed had something shiny on it. Kai narrowed his eyes trying to think what it was and finally deciding to get up and check.

Kai wandered over and found it was a small picture. Something metal at the side. Kai blinked, it was that blonde boys family. He guessed - they were all smiling. Were his parents dead too? Kai frowned and decided to place it back under the covers but again the light hit the metal and Kai frowned. He picked the metal off and say that it was some sort of metal ring. Kai couldn't help but bring out his own and compare both of them.

Tala, Bryan and Spencer were marched to another room though the atmosphere was much more familiar than the other rooms had been. It was a classroom. The three boys looked around, thinking and wondering if their would be any other children joining them.

They found a desk with three chairs at it and decided to sit down, with Tala in the middle.

Tala looked around the room, it was a classroom just different from the usual one he had been in. The walls were not covered in colourful and happy drawings yet with diagrams and graphs. The only thing that resembled the old classroom Tala had been in was that it had a large black board in front of the room.

"What is this?" A voice came from the back of a room, which caused the three boys to turn around hoping that it was not a mean horrible man. But in fact it was a woman, dressed in a lab coat. She was holding out a small plastic model of a beyblade. The children looked at her then the item she had in her hands.

"A beyblade...?" Bryan tilted his head wondering why they were being asked about this. Wasn't school meant to teach you writing and numbers?

The woman smiled, a fake one she obviously did not like children but was stuck in this job for a while. Not like she complained about the pay.

She walked down to the front of the room and looked at each boy closely. Her eyes rested on the smiling Tala, whom lost his smile when the woman began to shout.

"YOU ALL ARE BEYBLADERS. YOU ARE ALL CHILDREN, PUT YOUR HAND UP WHEN ANSWERING A QUESTION I GAVE YOU! OR ELSE!" The boys jerked back, cowering away from the woman that had begun to speak in a very high and loud tone.

Her voice began sweet and calm once again, "And what do you call this?" She took off the first ring of the beyblade. When Spencer slowly put his hand up the scowl came back to the woman's face.

"An attack ring?" She smiled sweetly again but decided that she would sneer at the two younger boys.

Kai was on the furthest away bed from the door - Spencer's bed, he was leaning against the wall and thought about when he would be able to go back home, and see his pet cat...

The door opened up and that caused the little boy to come out of his day-dreams and deep thoughts. However, the face that he saw did not place any hope or happiness into the boy.

Instead his eyes widened, and tears were almost already beginning to fall. His small body tensed, his hands were turned into white fists and he cowered back into the wall more.

"Hello. Kai." His grandfather smirked, happy to see the fear he had placed into his own flesh and blood. Fear meant respect and Voltaire knew that he should be respected...

"GO AWAY!" Kai whimpered, edging as far as he could away from the man named Voltaire. The boy was more than scared he was terrified.

Tala, was having a hard time, he was being told about the parts of these beyblades. Yet he had no idea why he was meant to learn these. Other than to stop this woman known as 'Miss' to stop yelling.

Bryan wasn't as scared... He was slightly unnerved when 'Miss' decided to act nice then back into another yelling frenzy. The only time she did yell was when someone got the answer wrong. She was shouting almost non-stop.

Spencer had been yelled at many times before so the noise this woman was making did not phase him whatsoever, he just tried to think of the answer to whatever beyblading question she had asked.

Still they had been given things to learn themselves. Although it hadn't seemed it Spencer got most of the questions corrected, though it could have been down to age. Since he was whole year older than the red head and two years older than the lavender haired boy.

After a few hours they were sent back to their room. Tala was happy as well as Bryan and even Spencer to leave that gruelling task of 'learning.'

Tala burst into the room and shouted "HELLO!" in his normal high pitch voice. The thing that made each and everyone of the small children realise was that...

Kai wasn't in the room.

Spencer frowned, he was sure that it was odd that Kai was not to come with them, the even stranger thing was they had been in class learning. Kai would have needed to have disappeared for a good reason, and that usually meant bad things would happen.

Tala looked around then walked up to Kai's bed and pulled the covers away - he tilted his head. "He's not here..." Tala looked around, and began to looked under each bed, looking for the bluenette.

"Where did he go?" Tala turned to look at Spencer, who appeared to know a lot more than he let on.

Kai did not return that night, and even the older boys, including the spiteful Daniil asked where the 'little blue runt' was. Still no one had an answer. Tala hoped that they would all wake up and Kai would be sitting on his own bed, just like he normally did...

Unfortunately Kai was not there in the morning either, or when they returned from 'school.' Tala was beginning to get more and more worried which caused the usual happy redhead to get saddened by the fact the bluenette was no where to be found.

Bryan was the main one that wasn't worried, just annoyed since Kai had disappeared Tala was somewhat unapproachable and wouldn't play fun games anymore he just sat on his bed.

He'd just pick up a small piece of cover and let it go watching it fall back to it's original place. Spencer knew that without Kai, Tala didn't have anyone to try to be friends with. The boy was sociable and possibly liked making friends more than actually having them...

Spencer lay down on his bed, without Kai, Tala was sad - was that what BioVolt was looking at? Then again if Tala was sad... Bryan was angry...And if they two were like that then Spencer had no one to speak too...

The small children had one hell of a problem if the bluenette didn't show up. And Soon...

Author's Note: Heh heh, Kai's gone! -cackles- Not for good... I just couldn't do that -.-'' Well please review if you are enjoying the fic so far... Later!
