Chapter 4

Snooping and snatching

Sally moved swiftly, the streets were busy and her small form weaved in and out of all the dull boring people of Russia. The girl raced on towards her goal, not far now. There had to be answers there, the just had to be. "Hey you stop!" a loud voice called. Sally smirked it was the voice of authority, surely by now they had learned they could never catch her, surely by now they knew when to stop. The man gave chase. "Nope" Sally laughed and ran faster.

Ray glared around the city of Moscow, he hated it here it was too cold and gloomy. The ground was covered in slush from last night's heavy snowfall. "Someone should clean this up someone could sli..." Ray never finished his sentence. "arh" Tala yelped as he stumbled on the ice and went sliding across the floor on his ass. The boy flew along the pavement smashing into Ray sending him flying into the air.

"Sorry Ray" Tala called as he watched the neko-gin clamber to his feet. Tala smirked "I thought cats were always meant to land on their feet" he snickered. Ray glared at him with his amber eyes. "aw shut your face you moronic mutt" he growled, bearing his pointed fangs. The red head just grinned back at him, he felt much better now. A few days with Ray and his clever medical skills and Tala felt as good as new and ready for what was ahead.

Ray brushed the ice of his butt and knees still grumbling about the clumsy boy. "Stupid dog" he muttered. "Hey I'm right here and there's no need to be rude. It was an accident you know" Tala grumbled over his shoulder. Ray yelped at the suddenness of his friend's voice and jumped into the air with a very feline hiss.

Tala sweat dropped. "Why are you so jumpy?" he asked as Ray landed, this time neatly on his feet. Ray glared at him "oh, let me think about that, we're in a freezing cold city. We have no money. We have been attacked twice already, barley escaping both times and we are looking for my best friend and his little sister who I knew nothing about UNTILL YESTERDAY!" he finished with a roar. Tala blinked "ok fair point" he said with a sigh.

Just then a third person came into view "hey guys wait for me!" the girl yelled. Jade Kon was her name and she was Rays cousin. At 16 the girl was tall for her age and had a slim cat-like build like Ray. She had raven black hair which she had dyed purple streaks into. She wore a tight long sleeved red shirt a that showed of her flat tummy and black ninja style trousers and purple headband, gloves and shoes. Her look was finished off by her silver eyes; they looked very much like that of a leopard.

All in all she was a very pretty and athletic girl an athletic girl that was running strait at the two boys. "Jade no!" Ray and Tala yelled in unison, too late. Jade slipped and came skidding towards them. "Aw crap" Ray and Tala said again in unison as the female crashed into them knocking them both to the ground. "Thanks for the soft landing guys" Jade giggled from on top of the two boys. "You're welcome" Ray growled sarcastically, "Anytime" Tala said with a brighter tone.

Not far from all this one of the groups intended wandered about aimlessly. Kayla sighed, when she had run off she had been so determined but as the days went by she found herself feeling hopeless. "Where are you big brother?" she muttered to herself, part of her wanting to cry. Moscow was huge! How could she ever find Kai alone in a place like this? And what sort of state would he be in when or even if she found him. Again the girl sighed but just then a loud noise snapped her out her thoughts.

"Hey get outta my way" Sally yelled, everyone obeyed, everyone knew her, everyone but that one girl at least. "MOVE !" Sally called her voice aggressive now. The girl leapt to the side with a startled yelp but not quick enough. Sally and her knocked shoulders.

"Ow, hey watch it!" Kayla said crossly. The red and black haired girl stopped screeching to a halt. "I'm sorry" she muttered quickly "are you hurt?" she asked. Kayla glared at the girl; she looked rather rough and tough, not someone to pick a fight with over such a little thing. "No I'm fine, I guess" Kayla said with only a minimal scowl, she was just wandering why her new found friend was running when a voice bellowed out answering her question.

"There she is get her!" yelled a policeman "right!" yelled a group of other officers and all of them ran towards the two girls. "Oh fuck, I'm real sorry but I gotta go" Sally laughed and raced off. The other girl just blinked at her. "strange, she reminds me of someone" Sally thought as she dashed away.

Kayla watched them all go, the girl and the cops. Did it really take that many to catch someone so small? The girl then sweat dropped as the red headed girl leapt neatly across the road weaving in between the cars and causing mayhem. "I guess it dose" Kayla laughed watching the police rant at each other for losing their criminal. As she wondered just what they were chasing her for but as the cops turned and glared at her she decide not to hang around and find out. Kayla turned on her heal and raced of before they had even moved, part of her hoping she would meet that girl again.

Kai's purple eyes snapped open, one still hidden under a white bandage. He blinked around blearily and his head ached even more than it did that morning. A figure stood in front of him framed by the moonlight they had a small and curvy form. "Oh it's just you" Kai said glaring coldly.

Sally fell over anime style. "Well that's nice isn't it? After all I've done for you, you can't even address me by my name !" she growled. Kai blinked at her his face expressionless. "Ok, Sally then....there's no need to get your knickers in a twist" he said finishing with a smug smirk. Sally glared at the boy and threw a bag at him. "Just take that and shut your trap" she sighed, she was much too exhausted from the chase to fight with Kai.

Kai opened the bag, inside were sandwiches, sweets, some fruit, crisps and a number of other bits and pieces. Sally had got him a razor, aftershave and other toiletries. She had gotten him some new shirts and pants too. Kai shot a glance to her and mouthed wordlessly and then he glared.

"Yes, I stole them...." Sally said to the boy, she knew that's what he was thinking. "Don't worry I lost them I always do" she added. "I knew you were a thief!" Kai said still using that cold tone of his. Sally growled. "I got them for you, you moron! Do you have any idea of the risk I took? I only take things as I need them, I don't take as many risks as this....But I did it for you, so you would be more comfortable" she said anger flooding her. "Well I didn't t ask you to do so" Kai cut in

Sally growled louder she could take this, it was her whole reason for living alone. The fact no one cared however hard she tried. "I'm trying to help you! Can't you see that? Did you plan on buying them yourself, with what money? You don't even know who you are" she yelled tears stinging her eyes.

Kai's heart felt like it had fallen down into his stomach, he couldn't remember but his was pretty sure no one had ever spoken to him like that. He watched as Sally whipped away at her eyes. Kai blinked and hung his head, he was being a jerk. "I'm sorry" he whispered, the words felt strange on his tongue. "Don't worry about it...just don't talk to me for a while" Sally snapped. Kai flinched as she slammed down her own bag. He had no idea how to fix this, in these memories or the ones of his past. Kai had never been good with people, he knew that much at least.

Sally sat way from Kai, making herself cosy on a dusty armchair, a blanket pulled tightly around her. The girl glared at the wall. "People suck, there's just no pleasing anyone" she grumbled in her head. She had planned on giving Kai another present but now he could wait, he could wait till he was better and she kicked him out of here. Then he could have his beyblade back. Sally fingered the small blue beyblade staring at the phoenix at its centre, she knew it was his she knew who he was now Kai Hiwatari of the famous Demolition boys.

Sally knew Kai would get his memories back soon, she knew he had friends looking for him, she knew once that happened he wouldn't need her anymore so it was better that he treated her badly, she couldn't get hurt that way. The girl sighed deeply and closed her eyes and letting her dreams take her far away.

Over on the other side of the room Kai sighed too, unlike Sally sleep wouldn't take him. The boy stayed awake into the early hours as memorised tried desperately to resurface. Kai was sure of one thing and one thing alone he didn't belong here, nor did Sally. Why was she on the streets anyway? Where were her family, her friends? Why was she all alone? Kai looked over at her sleeping form feeling guiltier by the second; she had done a lot for him that was for sure. "I'm really sorry, I promise to make it up to you somehow" he whispered knowing full well she couldn't hear him.
