Thanks to: Molly Yokunaii, Demoness-MarlstonWells69ner, Bluestray, Tory Carmichael, CrisscrossAnime, BeMyfRIeND4eVA and dewrism56 for reviewing!

For some strange reason, even when I have new reviewers I've been having 7 reviews in a row since chapter 2. It's kind of cool!

Warning!: Almost at the end of the chapter there is some death and blood shed. A character dies, but you guys don't know them so you probably wouldn't care.

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade.

Kai, Tala and Karma sat in the limo alone after Kai had finished telling Tala about the call he got last night. The redhead, even if he didn't say it, had been worried about his best friend and wished that he didn't just disappear the way he did. Now, he was even more worried since the killer was now getting bold and actually calling Kai's phone. But, Tala stayed quiet.

Kai stared out of the window at the teens outside. He was excepting a lot of people to be coming on the trip, but only Tyson, Hilary, Ming-Ming, Julia, Mariam, Max, Ray, Kenny, Emily, Salima, Tala and two guys that he didn't know, were in the limo that came. Looking outside at Mala, he had just realized who she reminded him of… Ray. At the moment, the raven-haired boy was holding her, both smiling happily. They looked just alike. Kai wondered if they were sister and brother. He resolved that he would ask Mariah when she came in…

Then he made a face at his thought, Mariah, why can't I just ask Ray himself. We're cool. From now on, I don't need Mariah and I certainly don't want to be around her.

"What are you thinking about?" Tala asked with a funny expression, upon seeing the face Kai made.

The slate haired teen simply shook his head, not looking at the redhead sitting beside him. Close to him, on the other side was Karma. Kai looked down at the girl and realized that when the sun hit her eyes at a certain angle, you could see that her eyes weren't dark purple, but crimson. Strangely, he found this… cute. Wow, Kai never thought that word would mold itself into his vocabulary.

"So, who is she?" the slate haired teen, for the first time while they were in the limo, looked at Tala.

"Don't know. She and three other guys came to Biovolt. See those guy right there?" Tala said pointing out of the window at two guys talking to each other. One was very well built and had black hair, brown eyes and light brown skin, he looked mixed. The other had brown hair and red looking eyes that seemed to see right through you.

"Those are the guys. Two of them anyway. I haven't seen the other for a week now." Tala said like it was a mystery or something. "The black haired one is mixed; Russian and Black and also very touchy about that. He got kick out of all the schools in Moscow and Khimki for fighting. People always pick on him and call him a zebra. We call him L.K., he won't tell us his real name." Kai looked at Tala with an expression that asked, 'And you know this, how?' Tala smirked. "You just gotta get to know him. He's cool."

"Now, the other one. I don't know too much about him except that he's Russian and Porto Rican. Like L.K., he won't tell us his real name. He just said to call him L.D. Oh, and he is very much known for being a huge flirt and woman stealer, so watch out."

"Hm…" was all Kai said watching as Moka picked a crying Mala up. Everybody was getting ready to get in the limos and he guessed Mala didn't want Ray and Mariah to leave. "They're coming in."

Both male Russians then adjusted themselves in their seats and put on their emotionless mask, preparing for a long and annoying ride. Kai looked out of the window to see Midnight glaring at him, he just smirked, happy at the fact that the panther would not be joining them.

Within a few minutes everybody had loaded in their limo and was getting ready to take off. Two limos had came to pick them up. The one Kai was in held Mariah, Ming-Ming, Karma Salima, Ray, Tala and himself. The rest were in the other. Kai and Tala braced themselves for a long boring ride full of "girl talk", Karma calling him and Tala's name every three seconds and possible Salima and Ray making out, but anything was better than Tyson they supposed.

"Karma is such a cutie!" Ming-Ming squealed, looking over at the little girl. "How old is she?" the turquoise haired girl asked. (A/N: Is that the color of Ming-Ming's hair?)

"I don't know, probably three or just turning four." Mariah responded, looking down at the little girl beside her whom was cutely coping Kai and Tala; folding her arms and making a mean looking face.

"She's so cute!" Mariam squealed as they felt the limo pull off. "I wonder why her mother named her Karma."

"Beats me." Mariah shrugged. "Sometimes, I wish I could go back to being a child." She smiled.

That triggered a thought in Kai's mind. He thought about what the killer said to him last night: "What's small, but you can see it and many a time you wish you could be it?" A child. Often, Kai would find himself wishing he could be a child all over again and have a normal life.

"Tala," Kai called and began to talk in Russian. "I just figured out the riddle." Kai continued, ignoring Mariah rolling her eyes and complaining that she couldn't speak Russian.

"What is it?"

"A child. The killer didn't say she was the "present", though. He said she had it."

"But where?" Tala asked looking over to Karma then looking down at the teddy bear book bag she had.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kai was apparently looking at the same thing Tala was looking at.

"All the time."

Then Kai turned to Karma. "Hey, can I see your bear?" Kai asked in a nice voice. The little girl looked at her bear that was sitting on her lap, then back at Kai and slowly shook her head 'no'. "Please, I'll give it right back."

Once again Karma shook her head 'no' and put her tiny arms protectively around the bear. Then Kai turned back to Tala and said, "Do you see why I hate children?"

"What Kai, are you trying to steal the poor girl's bear?" Mariah, whom had been looking at Kai very weirdly, finally spoke up. Then Kai's happy expression melted into a glare and he grabbed the arm of the bear and pulled it.

"What is wrong with you?" Mariah started to help Karma pull the bear back. Now, all the girls in the limo were yelling at Kai, including Salima.

The pinkette, now frustrated with this little game of tug-of-war, slapped Kai in the arm on the exact spot the he had gotten shot.

"Ou!" he yelled finally letting go. Mariah picked up the crying Karma and put the girl in her lap.

"You've got some nerve Kai Hiwatari! Taking a teddy bear from a defenseless little girl!" Salima shouted getting agreeing 'yeah's from the other girls.

"I need that bear. It won't even take long!" Kai said reaching for it again, earning him another pop on the arm from Mariah.

"Next time it'll be your leg!" she threatened petting the Karma's head, which was resting on her chest.

Now, it was Tala's turn. "We need the bear, just for a second. There's something in there that has to do with Kai." He explained hoping they wouldn't have to tell the girls and Ray about the phone call.

"Something in the bear that Kai needs?" Mariah almost didn't believe him, but then again Kai wasn't that heartless. He wouldn't a teddy bear, of all the things, from a little girl. Mariah slowly lifted the bear from Karma's hands. No fuss was made.

"Now that's just wrong." Tala said referring to how they had even asked politely for the stuffed animal and all Mariah had to do was take it. They were all watching as Mariah lowly unzipped the bear.

"Hm… there is something in here." She reached her hand in. Kai and Tala both had 'I told you so' looks on their faces. "But I highly doubt Kai would want crayon." She said pulling out a yellow crayon. Then she zipped it back up and gave the animal back to Karma.

"But-" Kai hated looking stupid, even if it were just him and Tala there. He just folded his arms and looked out of the window on the opposite side of the limousine.

"Anything else you boys want to warn us about?" Mariam asked glaring at the two. Only the engine of the car could be heard for a while.

10 minutes of silence had past before Tala said, "Did Karma have a book bag with her?"

"Oh my gosh! Not this again." Mariah slapped her forehead.

"Please, just look. We won't even touch the stupid thing." Tala could feel his temper rising, but remained calm.

After rolling her eyes, Mariah said, "Mariam can you please get that blue bag right there." She pointed to a small blue bag lying beside her feet. Mariah couldn't get it due to Karma sleeping in her arms.

"Yeah." The bluenette leaned down and got the bag. Unzipping it she started to pull out some things. "Hair brush, shirt, pants, panties," at that word Ray and Tala, immaturely, almost laughed, but succeeded in holding it in. "…shoes and…" Mariam stopped.

"What is it?" Kai asked.

The bluenette pulled out a DVD kept in a DVD case with a clear cover and on the cover it said: To Kai.

"Told you." Tala just couldn't resist.

"O.k. now give it to me." The slate haired teen demanded holding out his hand. Mariam was about to hand it over when Mariah grabbed it from her.

"How did you know this was in there?" Mariah held it up with the hand that was away from Kai.

"I believe that is my business." He smoothly said back.

"Well, I guess you don't want it then." She smirked.

"Mariah, this isn't a game! Give me the damn DVD!"

"First of all you better watch your language! And second, you better answer me! How did you know the DVD was in the book bag!?" she questioned again getting louder. "Mariam please hold Karma." She pasted the sleeping girl to her friend, knowing that her and Kai's conversation was about to blow up.

"I don't have to tell you anything!"

"Oh don't you!? I saved your life three times from this killer person and I know he sent you this! I think I have the right to know!"

"Kai, just tell her. She's giving me a headache." Tala said rubbing his temples. Kai looked at Tala, whom looked like he was having a massive headache. He then started to think that Tala wasn't taking the medicine his psychiatrist had prescribed him to. Resolving that he would take it up with the redhead later, he sighed and folded his arms.

"The killer called me last night." This only seemed to make the pinkette madder.

"And you're just now telling me this! L.A., you have too many secrets! I need to know these things!" she screamed, not realizing what she had just said.

"My name is Kai." The two toned haired boy said mono toned.

"I said Kai."

"You said L.A." Mariah turned her head from him. "Who's L.A.?" Then she tossed the DVD in his lap. He knew it was to avoid the conversation which made Kai want to know who he was even more. For some reason he felt angry, really angry that Mariah had called him another guy's name, but didn't let it show.

"Here." Ming-Ming said, passing Kai her portable DVD player. Kai stared at Mariah, whom wasn't looking at him, for a few more seconds before taking it. He put the DVD in and pressed play.

On Tape

At first everything was dark and you could only hear the sound of someone moving on the floor and trying to yell, but some kind of cloth was preventing them from doing so. Then the lights flicked on revealing a teenaged boy soaked in blood with torn cloths squirming on the floor.

"Ah…" an unseen person sighed in joy. "I never get tired of this scene. I'm so glad I get to see it one more time after this."

The guy that was squirming on the floor had frightened gray eyes. They stared at the camera in fear, but at the same time seemed like he was trying to warn someone.

"See how nice I am, Kai. I let you see your brother in his last moments.

Off Tape

"Kai," Tala gasped. "That's him!" Kai looked at Tala. "That's the other guy that came to Biovolt. The one that disappeared." They both looked back at the tape.

On Tape

"Don't worry, I showed him a picture of you. That father of ours sure did get around, didn't he?" then the person started to laugh. "Too bad you didn't get to see L.A.'s final moments, but Mariah can tell you all about that. I just know she's watching. Hey, Kitten. Isn't that what L.A. use to call you." He chuckled. "Kitten, cute."

"It's about to be two down, Kai, and you to go." Then the screen went black.

Off Tape

Kai looked to Mariah to see tears streaming down her face. He all of a sudden felt bad for being angry when she called him L.A. He realized that he probably just reminded her of him and that's why she did it. He also felt bad about saying he didn't need her and for giving her a hard time when all she was trying to do was keeping him from ending up like L.A. He couldn't believe how heartless he had been.

"Kai." Tala called. Kai looked Tala whom appeared to be looking back at the screen.

On Tape

The camera appeared to be lying sideways on the ground. The first thing they saw was a bloody face. "Mariah,… I don't—I don't have much time. My father --cough, cough-- he had –cough--," blood was oozing from his mouth making it clear that he was going to die by drowning in his own blood. "6 kids. My father -cough- 6 children. Please, -cough- save my brothers. Two Kai's- Trust no one." Then he smiled… through all his pain, he managed to smile. It was that smile that let Mariah know that he knew she wouldn't let him down.

"Hey, he has the camera!" someone from behind the camera ran up and cut it off.

End Tape

"L.J." Mariah sobbed on Mariam's arm. The whole room was quiet except for Mariah's crying. It went on like this for an hour and a half. Everyone was still trying to register in what they saw.

Mariah had long stopped crying, but was now pretty shaken up about the whole thing. She was now writing something down on a piece of paper. Kai looked over and saw that it was a list of the names of the people that were in the limousines. Karma had woken up, but noticed that nobody was in a good mood and stayed quiet.

Then Mariah looked up with a serious expression on her face. All eyes were on her. After looking around she said, "I hope all have no figured out that we are not going to Hawaii. Also, I hope you have figure out that we have not moved for 15 minutes straight. Lastly, I hope you've already figured out that the killers are on one of these limos." Everybody looked at each other. Some were shocked, others looked scared.

Then she turned to Kai, "Kai, if you were wondering, no, I did not know L.A. nor L.J. were your brothers. I simply thought that I should not let you suffer the same fate they did. I saw you being shot and shot at and I saved you. Sometimes irony isn't such a bad thing." She said with a light smile before making her way to the limo door. Mariam and Ming-Ming followed once she was out, then the rest. They appeared to be deserted in the middle of a lush, green forest.

The boys weren't all the way out yet, but they sure did start to rush when they heard the girls screaming.

"What?!" Ray demanded standing at the front of the vehicle with Salima. They looked up at the windshield to see the driver with a knife through his chest... dead.

"You guys!" Tala said coming from around the other side of the limo. "Nobody is inside of the other limo."

O.k. that chapter was scary. I have a question though, should I put character death in her and start killing off different people or not? Of course Kai, Mariah, Tala and Ray will not die.

And you might be thinking L.K. and L.D. did it! But I wouldn't think so fast if I were you. Try and figure out the motive too! Later!
