Brothers

Chapter 2

"Ray?" Tala called as he opened the door to the room that Kai and Ray had chosen to stay in.

"Yeah, what is it Tala?" Ray asked lifting his head up to look at Tala from his book.

"How is he? Will he be able to go to school tomorrow?" Tala asked looking at Kai who was sleeping peacefully off to Ray's side.

"Yeah probably, he'll go no matter what, being it's the one place he feels safe without any of us right by his side." Ray said looking at Kai's slim figure sadly, "You remember when he used to be the one comforting us, even when he was too scared to sleep because he didn't want to see what was on the other side of his dreams?"

"Yeah he used to stay up all night watching us till we caught him one night. That night when Andrew came home drunk off his ass and was taking a swing at anything in his path even Rachael who he normally went out of his way not to hit. I mean that's what we were for, so he didn't have to hit his wife." Tala said sitting down next to Ray on the bed.

"He used to sleep better before when we had mom. His dreams were never far from the way life really was but it was always somewhere else that we couldn't get to. Then our bit beast showed us how to dream like him where we could play in their world. Do you think he still understands that he can go there? We're not the only ones who can get there right? I mean there used to be so many kids that showed up at night and then they all just stopped." Ray said as Tala petted his hair and Bryan walked in and sat by Kai's slumbering form.

"Ray lots of those kids just lost their way back to the spirit realm, and I doubt that Kai could ever forget that place he's always there without even trying." Tala said.

"Yeah people drag him there all the time or from there whichever way you want to see it." Bryan said sighing.

"Yeah but normally he hides from there now, it used to be the other way around. I think I liked it better when it was the other way around." Ray said as he rolled over.

"Yeah but there's nothing we can really do about that Ray." Tala said looking at Kai sadly.

"No I guess not." Ray said shifting around as they all fell asleep.

"Alright my boys, here's your new school and schedules. Everything's set up for you, your guides should be at the main office with the principal now try and have fun." Mr. Dickenson said handing them all their schedules.

"Wait a minute did he just say guides?" Bryan asked as Mr. Dickenson speed off.

"Yes I do believe that is what he said." Ray said as they walked into the building.

"Damn it I know I wasn't going to like it here." Tala said as he walked into the office, and seen Claude, Kevin, Spencer, and Kenny. "Or not as long as I get the silver haired one, we're fine." He whispered smiling.

"Somehow I just know I'm getting the nerd." Bryan said with a groan.

"What gave it away, the laptop?" Ray snickered.

"That and I have crappy luck." Bryan said, "I say you have the Chinese kid."

"Probably let's go find out come on Kai." Ray said pulling Kai to go with him.

"hey are you the people who we're showing around?" Kevin asked happily.

"Yes." Kai said still looking down at his schedule.

"Cool so who's Ray? Cuz we got to go. We got a demon for first bell if you know what I mean." Kevin said smiling.

"That's only because she don't like you Kevin she's nice to me." Claude said shaking his head.

"That's cuz you don't have her as a teacher Claude." Kevin said.

"That's she a nice person, she just doesn't like that you prank her so often." Claude said before sighing, "Which one of you is Kai?"

"Me but is there any way to get these changed?" Kai said as Ray and Kevin walked out with Kenny and Tala leaving behind them, while Tala cursed under his breath.

"Guess that means I'm with you huh?" Bryan said looking at Spencer.

"Da!" Spencer said leading Bryan out to the gym.

"Umm… not that I know of, you guardian has to change it for you why?" Claude asked looking at Kai.

"I already took English 11 AP." Kai said looking up, "it should be in my file, I'm supposed to be in English 12 with Bryan."

"Will that you'll have to ask about later right now we have to get to Art class I'm supposed to get my project on the way from Miguel." Claude said pulling me after him, but as soon as he touched me all round us sparked with energy. His bit beast jumped out in front of us stopping the oncoming beyblade.

"Screams…" Kai.

"What the hell? Carlos you're not aloud to bey blade in the school building." Claude yelled as Kai stepped backwards only to be blocked by the rest of Carlos's gang the Bey Sharks.

"Why don't you bug off Claude I here to talk to your friend." Carlos snared before looking at Kai undress him with his eyes.

"Why don't you there's nothing you have that Kai wants anyways." Claude said glaring at Carlos, while Kai whimpered and tried to hide behind Claude.

"Like I care what he wants he's going to be mine." Carlos snarled, before two of his gang members grabbed Claude and throw him into the lockers way from Kai.

"Neit! Neit! Stop it you'll hurt him." Kai cried terrified as the gang closed in on him, with the other two closing in on Claude, who was trying to get up to help Kai.

"Why don't we make a little bet then? We'll bey battle if you win we'll leave you both alone but if I win your mine." Carlos said gazing at Kai.

Gulping Kai looked around hopelessly for one of his brothers but knew they were already in their new classes.

"I… I… um fine but we have to go outside to do the battle." Kai stuttered shivering.

"We'll help you Kai." Dranzer whispered.

"Yeah we've got this all you have to do is stand back and watch." Dreyzer said as Carlos nodded and he and his gang lead the way outside.

"Claude are you alright?" I gasped helping him up.

"Kai don't battle him you'll get hurt." Claude said standing up.

"No really it'll be fine I mean all I have to do is launch a none exciting beyblade. No sweat." Kai said smiling innocently.

"Wait you don't even have a blade? Kai this is suicide." Claude said.

"I don't have one right now but I will somehow." Kai said nervously as they headed outside to the gym area.

"Hey kid you ready to lose?" One of the bey sharks asked.

"Yeah no one bets Carlos." Another said watching Carlos pull out his blade and ready it to launch.

"Hey where's your blade?" Carlos called as the others started the countdown.

Three

Two

One

Let it rip!

Then Carlos's blade was flying straight at Kai only for a half black with red and silver flames and half blue with green and yellow flames and two bit beast lying in the middle of the blade, to knock it away from their master.

"Kai are you okay?" Claude called using Rapid Eagle as a shield like many others were doing with their bit beasts.

"Yes Dranzer and Dreyzer seem to have found a bey blade for themselves." Kai whimpered arm up to block the dirt from getting into his eyes.

"Wait your telling me they found their own blade? No way Bit beasts don't do that sort of thing Kai." Claude said gasping in disbelief.

"KAI! KAI, what the hell is going on why are Dranzer and Dreyzer out?"Bryan yelled shoving through the crowd after seeing his little brother's bit beast battling another that he'd never seen before.

"Bryan?! Bryan what do I do they're getting hurt." Kai yelped hearing Dranzer cry out.

"What the fuck where you thinking? Idiot, you don't fucking know how to blade!" Bryan said coming to stand by me before we both heard Tala and Ray cursing as they shoved their way through the crowd.

"He was going to beat up Claude." Kai cried watching Dreyzer get hit.

"Crap Kai tell them to separate, they're too easy of a target together." Ray called from where Tala and he were standing off to the middle of the bey battle.

"Dranzer! Dreyzer! Listen to Ray separate from each other go into different blades." Kai cried hopelessly, almost pleading with them.

"Master Kai then you'll be taking the damage from two blades instead of us taking each others for you." Dranzer said.

"I don't care just do it now." Kai yelled before forcing them into separate blades by his own will power. "Now what do I do?"

"Wait your bey battling Carlos and you don't even know how to bey blade?"Max gasped as the bladebreaker pushed through into the front of the crowd.

"Yes I think we've all been through this now our brother doesn't know how to bey blade." Tala growled before looking at the three blades battling. "Kai use flame arrow."

"Right Dranzer, Dreyzer double team him." Kai said before both blades did just that stopping Carlos' blade and leaving it in bits on the ground, as Kai slowly slipped down fainting barely hearing the shrieks from Dranzer and Dreyzer.

"Master Kai."
