Author's Note: Out of all the chapter I have written I think this is the saddest. Really if you like any of the D-boys then have a tissue ready… Very sad, who knows you may even cry? But anyway thanks to everyone, (almost done with this fic…Oooo!) So thanks to;

DancerInTheDark101 - Yup another quick update, and don't try to kill Voltaire just yet - you do want Kai/Tala/Bryan/Spencer an Ian to get back at him right? You're hyper... ME TOO! That's a code for very dangerous situation. Three days? Then for a week, well have fun! Kai is the little angst-magnet, I believe he just seems to attract loneliness and sorrow where ever he is. I usually just write the dialogues then just go from there. I'm sure you'll be glad when the wait is over after your holiday and I'm sure you will have too much fun to think about this fic and the others! Sending you chapters before their uploaded -gasps- I'll think about it…-grins- Thanks for another huge review!

Nameless Little Girl - Glad you enjoyed it and the dreaded chapter of... Well you'll see I'm sure. Just don't through any rotten food at me, okay? Especially eggs 'cause I'm allergic to them okay? Okay... Thanks for reviewing!

Shadow Cat - These chapters are only going to get sadder. I'm afraid though I'm sure everyone will enjoy the very last chapter (which I have already written oddly enough.) Thanks for reviewing!

kavbj - I've never actually heard that song before - bet you that makes me uncool. Oh well. Give up my dear Fanta? NEVER, My fanta! Mine! I shall rule the world with it!!! -cough cough- Anyway if you've not run away from your computer screen just yet thanks for reviewing!

The Goddess Azure Thunder - I remember yours as the first review to the chapter because I can remember laughing loudly. I didn't think that anyone would be as random as Ian but I believe you now have been awarded the golden muffin of randomness. No worries if he's not your favourite, though I did need someone to break them from within the group... Kai just seemed to be the best one to pick because he has a psycho grandfather -cackles- Thanks for reviewing!


Chapter 31


Kai was completely awake throughout the whole night, wondering and pondering over whether he should betray his friends, then again if he didn't they would die and it would be his entire fault. Why was everything always his fault? Then again if they could escape Kai would not need to do either of them.

Noises came, foot-steps, and urgent talking, commands being shouted, and that was when Kai realised what was about to happen. They were going to be caught. "Wake up!" He called to the rest of the team, going around them individually waking them with a start, they were confused but once they had heard the noises they were now coming closer.

"Run!" Bryan yelled, as all of the children got up and started to run in the opposite direction hoping that the guards has not surrounded the storage room, though they could always hide, it just meant that they wouldn't be found out so soon. Though they would be found eventually, that thought never crossed the children's minds, being caught was never going to happen.

Tala was looking around while he sprinted and slid underneath a few tables that were being held there, that was when he came face to face with a guard that did not look too happy to see him. His eyes did not widen in surprise or fear, all he did was narrow them into a threatening glare that did not affect the man before him. Kicking the man's shins and running around him was the only thing the redhead could have thought about doing. On the other hand Spencer had decided to launch his beyblade at some of the guard's heads, who all ducked and cowered behind random objects in the room.

Bryan and Ian were surrounded by a few guards that seemed pretty smug because of their number. However, Ian couldn't help but chuckle as he loaded his machine gun launcher and aimed. Bryan took that as a sign as to launch his own, and just when the guard's were about to grab them, the bitbeasts came and caused them to jump back, startled.

"Damn it!" There was a yell at the other side of the room, and Tala began to worry that someone had been caught – which they had been. Kai, was not the one, it was in fact Ian, who had not darted out the way when someone had came up behind him, Bryan looked rather annoyed.

"Let go!" Ian started to kick, punch, and even try to bit whoever was holding him, just so he could get away. Kai came and hit the man over the head with what looked like an old rusty food tray, which caused him to turn around. "You all are in serious trouble, brats!" He let go of Ian and reached out and grabbed the boy who had hit him.


"I can't believe we got caught." Bryan sighed as he pulled on the chains that restrained him from moving around the room. He was sure that the whole team would be in very large trouble, but even with the few hours spent in the cell, no one had came or shouted at them.

"It's because you were so slow." Ian chuckled, thinking about when he had seen Bryan looking very angry from being picked up after they had been caught. Bryan frowned and looked around the room, he was beside Kai of all people, at the other wall there was Tala and Ian and beside Ian on the very corner of the other wall, Spencer. It wasn't as if they were miles away from each other, it was a foot wide by twenty feet long. The chains had already been in the wall so it must have been used for these purposes, what ever these purposes were.

"No I wasn't it was Kai!" Kai couldn't believe it he had been caught, they all had been caught! That meant he had to betray them, he just didn't want them dead, even though in a few years their confidence and self-worth would be non-existent.

He didn't want to do it, but he would need to, maybe that was why no one had come to check on them – for them to all get into an awkward scenario and not be able to walk away from it. Just so it got worse and worse until they all broke down. "Good." Kai wasn't sure if he could do this face-to-face with everyone. He bowed his head so he did not have to look at them in the eye.

"What?" Bryan tilted his heads to the side while looking at the blue-haired boy wondering if he had heard correctly, he surely hadn't just said 'good' of all things to say in this situation. Kai smirked, already he could feel the uneasiness between the other boys. He just didn't think he had that much effect especially when he spoke.

"I didn't want to leave with any of you anyway." Kai shrugged and looked at the door, he wondered if he would be able to get out of here if he done a good enough job, he was sure there was a camera somewhere in the room – there were always camera's around. Voltaire and Boris were quiet paranoid at times, or nosy whichever way they wanted to put it.

Bryan took offence to what Kai had said straight away, just like Kai had mentally planned. "Huh? What are you saying? That we're not good enough for you?" Annoying Bryan was fine, they both didn't like each other and therefore would only cause uneasiness between everyone else, and that was why Bryan was the first person to see the 'new' Kai. "That's an understatement." Kai sneered.

The room began to fill with an uncomfortable tension, one of which Bryan used to his advantage and began to threaten the other boy. "If I wasn't chained up I would so hurt you right now!" He shouted only to get a reply that made him even angrier than he was originally. "And? You're pathetic - you would hit someone that's chained to a wall." Kai rolled his eyes, a small smirk coming onto his face, he never had liked Bryan and this was just to make sure he had suffered for the whole accusing thing, which now…Was true. It had still hurt though and he did say when and why he would betray them, he just hoped they would remember it.

"That wasn't what I meant." Bryan sighed though thought that was the end of the argument though Kai continued to carry it on.

"You have a habit of saying things you don't mean." Bryan bit his tongue unsure on how to respond and also just wanted to sit and enjoy the silence he was used to. Then Kai added another comment to aggravate the lavender haired boy. "Then again maybe it's because you're stupid."

"Wow! Calm down you two!" Spencer usually had to split the two boys up, especially when Tala wasn't around. The strange thing was that Kai and Bryan were both arguing and Tala was in the room usually they would both stay silent and only argue when he was gone. Maybe it was because neither of them knew when they would be able to get out.

"Why should I listen to someone that can't even pass a written test?" Kai smirked when he saw the hurt expression Spencer had, it disappeared only a few seconds later, Ian decided to jump in and defend the eldest against Kai's personal attack.

"Hey! Calm down Hiwatari!" Ian glared he didn't like what was happening sure Kai was being mean to each of them, but what if something got said that made someone angry at – well each other?

"Back to last term names Ian?" Kai raised an eyebrow the feeling not disappearing, and he now felt confident that he could fall out with these so called friends. Tala had watched the whole thing and decided to get to the bottom of the strange actions that Kai was doing.

"Kai, why are you being so…. mean to everyone?" Tala squinted his eyes a little, wondering what on earth had possessed Kai to be so cruel with his words. Kai on the other hand noticed that he was being watched by everyone else.

"I'm being me. You wanted me to come out my isolated shell, well there, now you can see me for me." Kai smiled cruelly and watched as Tala frowned, not wanting to believe that this was the real Kai.

Tala argued back wanting to find out exactly what was going on, he liked Kai though he had to defend his other friends from his brutal insults. "You're not this mean, you're not even mean! At all Kai. Why are you doing this?" Tala's voice had turned slightly desperate – as if he needed an answer, Kai gulped, he had to do this – he had to.

"Being mean? I'm mean to people I don't like." Kai now couldn't help himself, he was now filled with such a strange emotion, one that he had no idea on how to control or even begin to explain. "Unfortunately Tala, I hate Bryan and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. It's because of you we hate each other – did you know that?" Kai smiled when he saw the confusion on Tala's face as he looked back and forth between him and Bryan.

"Shut up! Stop stirring things!" Ian shouted at the older boy, he was beginning to dislike the blue-haired boy. Kai retorted to the small boy, he needed something else to help make everyone fall out with each other – what could he do?

"Why? So I can sit here bored? I find this so much more fun!" Kai shrugged, he suddenly felt another wave of anger, he knew why – it was because Bryan had decided to glare at him. "Bryan hates me because you're my friend and not his best friend. Jealous much?" Kai turned to look at Tala who looked as if he were about to cry – Kai looked back at Bryan who was still glaring.

"Shut up Kai!" Bryan hissed. Tala on the other hand just wanted everyone to stop saying something and say nothing, even if they had to go around everyone and apologise he just wanted them all to stop fighting. "Just be quiet Bryan."

"No!" Bryan shouted back, he was too angry to think about what he was saying or even doing, his wrists were beginning to hurt from all of the moving – trying to get out of the chain so he could hit something, or someone.

"Bryan! You're not helping." Tala said, his voice now regaining it's authority as leader, not like Bryan even thought about captaincies. All around the Abbey guards would swear non-stop, especially at the children and so even Bryan had a few words to yell at Tala.

"Screw you!" Not like Bryan knew what it meant.

"Guys! Calm down, Kai's just messing with us!" Ian, everyone, wanted to stop fighting but with every little thing that was being said it was annoying someone even more – then they would say something and so on until eventually they would all shut up because everything had been said.

"Yeah what's with you?" Spencer frowned, and for that one moment it seemed as if the group had stopped having its inner-battle. Then Kai decided to start something a little more insulting, and certainly more harmful.

Kai's voice was oddly sweet and calmer than ever thought possible. "Me? Dear Spencer…? I thought you would be the one that's annoyed since your sitting next to someone that…What was it? Could blow the Abbey up by sneezing - was that it?" Kai frowned as if he really was trying to think about what Spencer had said.

"Did you really say that! I hate you!" Ian sent another glare in Spencer's direction now feeling betrayed and forgetting about who was the one that had started this whole thing off. "It was a joke!" Spencer tried to make it look as if he hadn't said it out of spite, and that it was just meant to be laughed off. The only reason why Spencer had not told Ian it was because he was so sensitive about that 'area.'

Not like anyone had noticed but since Kai had quoted Spencer on his so called joke, Bryan was laughing loudly not caring that it was making Spencer look even worse and making Ian feel stupid. "A damn funny one." Bryan said in-between breaths.

Tala saw how much distress Bryan was causing Ian by just laughing and tried to shut him up. "Be quiet Bryan!" He shouted although it did silence the boy, he only received another nasty comment back. "What did I say earlier? Get lost you pathetic idiot!" He yelled in his face.

Kai chuckled and shouted out, "Guess what!" Spencer ended up answering with an insult that not only insulted Kai. "What do you want red-eyed freak?" He yelled back, and Tala took offence immediately, "You got something against the colour red!" Tala frowned and glared, the quest of tying to make everyone friends was forgotten about.

Ian decided to join in, "Yeah I do! It's ugly! Like you!" Tala was taken aback, but it appeared that Bryan still had some loyalties to the redhead and yelled back an insult to the smaller boy.

"Well maybe you should check the mirror sometime! Oh I forgot you broke it with that nose of yours!" Ian winced physically, and then all was silent.

After a few minutes of a complete silent hell, "Guys, I'm sorry – so can we be friends again? You know forget this happened?" Tala mumbled though he knew that someone would answer back it was not the answer he was expecting.

"Forget that Tala!" Bryan yelled, he was sure that all everyone wanted to do was simply say sorry but would not do it until the other had said sorry, so it was in fact a check-mate by their prides

"Maybe we should just stop firing insults at each other okay?" Ian sighed, hoping that Tala would continue to try to calm Bryan down, though because Spencer was the oldest, he was the one with a very large grudge list. This list just had another name added to it only moments ago

"What like you fired a bullet at your family?" Everyone froze. Spencer had just went beyond the line, in fact the line was no more – Kai looked between them both, he knew that they were both capable of throwing insults like that around but he never thought that they would do it to each other.

Ian would have cried, but while he was in a room, in a very large argument he decided to just insult the older boy back. "Well at least I didn't just sit and watch my grandmother get killed. You probably sat and ate popcorn. Fatty!"

Everyone began fighting again, yelling obscurities at one another they did not take time to notice what Kai was doing. He was looking at his chains that where around his wrists and all of a sudden they let out a small click. Kai smiled and undone the now un-locked chain, and stood up, causing everyone to look at him. He rubbed his wrists, which were now raw red because of the horrible rubbing of the metal on his skin. He smiled as if he were enjoying his team-mates confused faces.

"Bye-Bye." He waved and left the room that had gone deadly silent. The reason why no one decided to apologise was because they were shocked that they had fallen into the very plan they had never thought they would. They had insulted each other – and everyone never would have thought that they would hear such horrible things being said to them by someone they had trusted as a friend.


Author's Note: I made them so mean to each other –goes away and sobs in dark corner- Well please review… Even though I was mean….to the dear boys… -sniff sniff-
