Street Life

Chapter 4

"KAI! BOY, WHERE ARE YOU! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW!"

Kai visibly flinched as the gruff shouts flew up the three flights of stairs and into his ears. He couldn't say he didn't expect his Grandfather to act this way when he got back, he just wished he had more time before he did come.

Selena looked at Kai with sympathy, "I could make up some kind of excuse for you for a while, wait for him to calm down a little?" She asked kindly.

Kai slowly shook his head. He wouldn't calm down, they both knew it. All it would do was get Selena in trouble as well and Kai couldn't allow that to happen. It wouldn't be fair to do that to her.

"So, what are you going to do?" Selena asked.

Kai took a deep breath before answering, "I'm not a coward, I'll just have to face him."

Selena nodded, although her worry was crystal clear on her face for the blue haired boy she had grown to love like a son. But she knew there was nothing she could do for him.

"KAI! GET HERE NOW!"

His Grandfather's words picked Kai up off the bed and across his midnight coloured carpet. He left the large room, knowing Selena would lock it up for him.

As slowly as he could get away with, Kai descended the three flights of stairs. As he walked down the last flight, he spotted his Grandfather waiting for him in the Grand Hall. Kai shivered. God, he looked angry.

He finally reached the end of the stairs and walked over to stand in front of the man. He kept his distance, though.

The two stared into each others eyes for a while. Once off of the stairs, Kai had left his fear behind and now his face held an expression as angry as the greying man in front of him.

Voltaire was the first to speak. "Well well well, look who came crawling back"

Kai snarled, "I didn't come crawling back, you demanded me here. I would never crawl back to you"

Voltaire's mouth curled into an evil smile, "For once you are right, boy, I did call you here. We have an important matter to discuss."

Voltaire motioned for Kai to come closer but Kai didn't budge, "I think I'll keep my distance, thank-you," Kai's voice was full of sarcasm and hate towards the old man.

"Fine! We'll talk the hard way!" Voltaire shot back.

"First things first, I want to know why? Why did you betray me at the championships? I could've given you everything, yet you left me for those snot-nosed idiots you call your friends. Why, Kai, WHY?"

Now Kai smirked, "That's an easy one, Voltaire. Because they treated me like a person, you treated me like a tool, which one would you chose?"

"I wouldn't of had to treat you like a tool if you had done what I asked willingly! Because of you, my whole plans were ruined!"

"Oh, dear. I feel so bad I might cry!" Kai spat at the man.

"Oh, I'll make you cry, rat. I'll make you cry." Voltaire said in the scariest voice he could muster.

"Try me," Kai challenged.

"Very well." Voltaire smirked and put his hand into the air. He clicked his fingers once and four doors leading to the room they were in flew open.

Kai glanced at every entrance as men filed in, all dressed in black suits. Each one of them were obviously powerful.

They formed a ring round the teen completely surrounding him. There was about 20 of them with four guarding the doors and two more guarding the front door, just in case.

Kai growled and got in a defence position, even though he knew fully well that he was totally out-numbered. He was a very good fighter but he couldn't take on that many on his own.

Voltaire at the time, was chuckling, "Well, now that I've got your full attention, I suggest you listen to me now."

Kai's gaze left the men in suits to stare daggers at the old man.

"You see, Kai. Even if you did betray me, you are still my flesh and blood and I am giving you one more chance to ditch your friends for good and join me. Become my partner and we will rule the World together. What do you say?"

Kai's head bent down to hide his eyes in shadow. From this position, he answered, "What do I say? What. Do. I. Say!"

Kai's head snapped back up, hate burning in his eyes, "I say you can do what you like! I will never work for you! Ever again! I am my own person now! Blackmail me all you want! I will not join you EVER!"

Voltaire shook his head in a that's-too-bad kind off way, "If that's what you want to do, Kai, so be it."

With that, he gestured to the guards and said two simple words, "Crush him."

The guards sprang to life and without a seconds wait, started their onslaught of attacks.

To begin with, Kai managed to hold his own. He had good fighting skills. But that didn't really matter, he was too outnumbered for skill to help him at all. Kai blocked all the hits he could but there was too many of them. Pain erupted as three punched hit his stomach and chest at the same time. He heard a crack, damn, that wasn't good. Another came and hit the back of his head, nearly knocking him out. He staggered as more and more punches hit his head chest and stomach. Some even kicked his legs and stomped on his feet.

Eventually, Kai fell to his knees but that didn't stop them at all. They went on and on until he was lying on the floor, totally helpless as he fell unconscious.

Once he was gone, the guards finally backed off. The toughest of them turned to Voltaire, "What do we do with him now, sir?"

"Take him as far away as possible, dump him on the street and leave him to his fate." With that, Voltaire turned around and left the room.

From at the top of the stairs, Selena watched the scene, with tears running down her face. She wanted to help but she would have only made it worse for him. But that stop her from feeling awful.

She continued to watch as the guards picked the motionless teen up , blindfolded and bound him and carried him out of the house.

Once they were gone, she totally broke down. She walked through the corridors and up the stairs, dragging her feet until she came to Kai's bedroom. She unlocked it, and went in.

She sat on the king-sized bed, crying harder then she ever had before.

Without really thinking, the woman picked up Kai's unpacked bag and had a look inside.

It held nothing put three photos, some more arm guards, another scarf and his prized possession, his beyblade Dranzer.

She looked at the photos and managed a smile.

One was of Kai smiling at the Dranzer beyblade he had just received for his birthday. The second was of him and herself on a rare trip to the park before he went to the Abbey. The last was of him and his friends, they too were happy for they had just won the championships.

Selena put everything back in the bag then whispered, "Kai, I'm so sorry…so sorry…"

Yay! Finished!

That wasn't so bad………oh it was rubbish, never mind!

C ya dudes! Drentai Dragon
