Chapter 13
After a few days without Kai, Tala used extreme measures, and tried to make friends with the older more colder boys. Which did not go down well with anyone, simply because Bryan and Spencer were now totally ignored and the older boys now had a small child annoying them at every waking moment.

"Just get lost kid." Akim yelled, scaring the little redhead so much that he whimpered and sat on his bed. The door unlocked, and everyone remained silent thinking that it was an adult that would yell orders at them all. The older boys wondered why anyone would come in at this time, it was too early for training and it was too late for breakfast calls.

No adult came in, but a small boy was pushed back into the room. He only had trousers on, even his shoes, gloves and scarf was gone. Tala looked at the boy, his eyes widened when he noted the familiar two-toned hair.

"KAI!" Tala grinned and jumped down from where he sat, and ran over to the younger boy. Kai began to shiver, his whole body began to shake unnaturally, which caused Spencer to worry a little. His small head jerked painfully to the side and back and forth as if someone was moving it with an invisible hand.

Tala wrapped his arms around the boy but jumped back when his own skin came into contact with Kai's.

"You're cold!" Tala shrieked, thinking why Kai would be the same temperature as ice... Kai didn't reply but began to whimper and shake so much his small legs buckled under him.

The so called leader of the older boys went to see what was wrong with the blue-haired kid. Varlam kneeled down and placed a hand on his forehead,"Holy shit. This kid is freezing. where the hell have you been!"

The boy shivered and began to feel weaker and weaker, he managed to stutter a reply, "O-u-t-side..." Varlam blinked, he had been out in the Russian cold with only trousers on? What the hell was he thinking?

Without a word directed to him, Spencer took his covers and placed them over the smaller boy. His shivering did not stop. Tala just stood confused on why Kai was looking so white and shivering so badly. Was he that cold?

Tala frowned, why was Kai outside, had he been allowed to leave? Had he just been thrown outside by accident? Tala went over to his own bed and took the covers off and plodded back with them. Kai was still shaking, though his whimpering stopped. Bryan had been watching the boys movements since he had came in, Bryan concluded that he certainly was not well.

Bryan sighed and stood up, stripping his bed of his own, already warm, covers. He draped them over Kai's small figure. He didn't look up.

Kai was rocking back and forth trying to figure out what had just happened, was this why he was alive? The boy didn't want to think that he would be the cause... Kai looked over to Tala and then back to Bryan, and then he looked over at the concerned blonde that had saved his life many times already.

Kai sighed and placed his head back down, hoping no one would see the tears that were escaping, he hoped he would not sob loudly - if anyone knew why he was crying then his mission would be over before he had even decided to do it. He was being forced into it... But he couldn't - not do it.

The boy fell asleep as warmth began to seep back into his small body. Each of the children sighed and smiled, hoping that Kai would wake up soon. Varlam decided it would be rather uncomfortable to sleep on the ground and lifted the blue-haired boy onto his own bed. This would cost the boy, Varlam would rarely care about anyone else that was in pain or harmed.

Then the alarm sounded and the older boys began to leave, and Varlam and Daniil were still wondering why a child like that would be taken outside. Still, they left and did not say anything to the smaller boys.

"Kai's back!" Tala chanted, a smile plastered on his face, running around the room. Back to his normal self. Spencer on the other hand was worried on why the boy had been taken in the first place and why he was now so cold and tired. Whatever the reason, he hoped to find out soon.

"Calm down." Spencer interrupted the redhead that was currently running around the room squealing in delight because his now sleeping, to-be friend was back.

"Whaaaaat?" Tala shouted loudly forgetting Kai was asleep. Spencer rolled his eyes at the annoying tone Tala was using, but Spencer got to the point.

"Kai's sleeping don't wake him up." His voice was blunt and Tala nodded slowly showing that he understood. Tala smiled again and sat at the end of Kai's bed.

Kai was only pretending to be asleep so when he felt the redheads eyes blazing into him he felt uncomfortable and shifted until he was not in the exact view of the redhead. At least then he could open his eyes instead of having them shut constantly.

Even though he was not shivering or shaking anymore he couldn't rid himself of the that feeling that was caused by the ice and snow. He'd been thrown out as punishment and he was told to say sorry to be able to get back in. The boy cursed under his breath as he remembered the stinging sensation that covered his whole body, he would never be able to forget that feeling.

After a while Kai did fall asleep, and the other children were taken back to the dear classroom where 'Miss' awaited with new material for them to learn. However, no one came to see Kai this time, he was allowed to rest for a few hours.

Kai sat up after his nap, holding onto all of the covers as they warmed him. He wiped some tears away from his eyes that were beginning to make his vision blurry. Kai sniffed why had his grandfather given him this task? Why couldn't it be someone else? Why him!

"I can't do it..." Kai whispered but then again what if his grandfather kept his side of the deal? What if... He got to see them all again? So he could go back happy and... What if he was lying? He would destroy so much if his grandfather was lying... Kai tighten his grip on the covers hoping that the cool tingles that ran up his spine would disappear. What would he do?

"I'll be hated... despised by them all... I can't do that..." Kai muttered, but what if Voltaire had said the truth? What if, what if they try to do the same back? Was that why Tala was trying to be friends with him...?

Kai pondered over the question. Should I..? Many points were listed, but for some reason Kai couldn't think of any more bad points in doing this. He would become stronger and if he was stronger then he could... Get Black Dranzer. Kai chuckled, yes he would just do this stupid task and get to use that cool looking beyblade. Plus, Bryan and Tala deserved what was coming to them... Spencer... Who cared about him anyway...


When the other children had come back they found a sleeping Kai again, but because it was almost time to get their food and go to bed, they began to take their covers back, until Spencer's and Kai's cover were the only ones that were on him.

"Is dinner soon...?" Kai muttered, rubbing his eyes, waking up slightly. Tala smiled, and nodded his head, at least now he was talking.

Kai rubbed his eyes again, and looked over at the current eating Spencer, and decided that he was not as cold as he once was. "You can have this back." Kai muttered and took the cover off of him, leaving it at the side of his own bed so all Spencer would need to do was reach over and grab it.

Spencer eyed the cover warily, thinking of why Kai was actually talking more than usual. Maybe the cold had destroyed his own protective layer that held his emotions?

Whatever the reason was, Kai had lowered the anti-social aura that usually surrounded him, and that was went Tala decided to once again try to talk to the blue haired boy. The red-eyed boy was still perched on the side of his bed, looking down at the floor.

"Where did you go! You ended up all cold!" Tala walked up and tried to look Kai in the eye but all Kai did was move his head so he wouldn't be able to. Kai blinked when he felt something touch his hair.

"It's really real..." Tala sounded fascinated and continued to poke and prod at Kai's two toned hair.

Bryan and Spencer thought it was funny as Tala just kept going on an on about how it was real... Kai jerked his head up and frowned at the red-head. No one would touch his hair... No one.

"So? Your hair is too." Kai quickly reached out and grabbed one of the thin, long bangs that usually covered Tala's face. Yank.

Tala yelled, "Stop it!" and slapped Kai over the head with his hand and kept it there, just in case Kai wasn't going to let go any time soon.

"Let go of my hair!" Kai squealed uncharacteristically as Tala pulled hard on a part of his hair.

"That was sore!" Kai snapped back, then he grabbed the other bang and began to pull it even harder than he had with the previous one.

"Stop!" With the sight, Bryan couldn't help but laugh. There was something very amusing watching the two boys pull each others hair and squeal in pain, or grumble right after it. Spencer too couldn't help but show the amused grin on his face.

The war was on, Tala and Kai were frowning and giving each other small glares that they thought would look more intimidating. They continued to pull each others hair but this time less noise came from them. They just wanted to see who would want to stop this little game first.
Tala felt as if his hair was being ripped out and Kai was sure Tala had ripped some of his hair out, not like they were going to stop so soon.

Bryan and Spencer watched on, amusing and laughing at the scene in front of them. Bryan and Spencer couldn't help but burst into hysterics.
"Shut up!" Tala let go and went to sulk, he'd lost and was now being laughed at. Kai watched as Tala hugs his legs as he sat in one of the corners closer to the door.

I suppose I better start this mission. I want to get Black Dranzer after all. The quicker I do... What Voltaire says the quicker I get her.

A demented smirk and twinkle in his eyes, appear on his face making him seem much more intimidating. Still the look was washed away when Kai jumped down from the bed, not caring about the covers anymore. The little game had warmed him up strangely enough.

"Hey!" He plodded over to Tala and poke him on the head, the sudden change in his personality made Spencer and Bryan stop laughing.

"You're mean." Tala huffed causing the two bangs to be blown out of the way just to flutter back down. He folded his arms, crossing his legs on the floor.

"Sorry..." Kai was finding this socialising difficult he thought that it would have been easier. Why wasn't Tala already hugging him like Voltaire said he would.

Voltaire had told him that Spencer was already his friend, even if they weren't close. Now all he needed was Tala and Bryan…. Bryan would hopefully just follow Tala like the lost puppy he was.

Kai sighed, this little mission was going to be harder than he had anticipated.
