Author's Note: Sorry if it's not the best but for some reason I just can't seem to type very well. Probably because I was sick for a while but anyway thanks to everyone reading this fic, and a big thanks to the reviewers;

kavbj - In a few chapters time you'll get to see exactly what Kai thinks... That will be a rather depressing chapter but it'll be fun to write. Hope you enjoy this chapter, thanks for reviewing.

isthatnecessary - It is getting a little crowded, and even though Lilita will come... Well you'll see when I get to that part, anyway I do plan on mentioning them but they won't be coming in as much as they did the last two stories! He will...soon enough (maybe a few more chapters,) I think. Thanks for reviewing!

d1bontemp - Well I guess the only good thing about the breakdown is that it shows me if you like her or not. She was a goody then a baddy then...Well you get the idea, and I think the blood on the wall's already been explained... I think O.o Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 5

"So Kai's gone crazy then?" Bryan raised an eyebrow wondering why the BladeBreakers were still wanting him on their team for the up coming tournaments. Rei turned around and glared, as did Tyson. "He's been through a hell of a lot so shut up Bryan." Tala looked around, wondering if he could perhaps persuaded one of them to tell him what had happened to make a usually cold, calm and collective person so violent and reactive to other people.

"What happened?" Tala asked, the surprising thing was that it held no malice intent or even sarcasm, his tone was blank of emotion though his face was slightly marred with concern.

Tyson and the rest looked at one another wondering what on earth they could tell them, "You think we should…tell them what happened?" Tyson asked wondering if it would help or make things worse, then again only the evilest person on the planet would mock Kai for what had happened.

"…I suppose, as long as they keep their mouths shut…" Rei snapped, and stood up, he had been slightly annoyed at the fact that Bryan had actually insulted Kai out of all things. He may have not known what was happening but wasn't it very clear that there was something wrong?

"Kai…Kai's mum…" Max looked down at the floor he was sitting on, the slight pause was all Tala and the rest needed to know that the woman was no longer living on, "She's dead?" Max nodded numbly wondering why they all sounded so bored at the expression.

"That's not the worst part," Rei told them, frowning again, it was Adonis's fault if he had just…Just not been so greedy then he wouldn't have killed Enya while….Kenny continued on with telling the Demolition Boys what had happened.

"Kai's father, Adonis. He killed Enya, his mother." Now Tala, Bryan and Spencer were beginning to understand why Kai acted the way he did but it still was no excuse, "There's still more," Kenny added. This caused the three Russian teenagers to wonder what else could have gone wrong.

"Kai was in the room when his father killed his mother." The whole room went silent thinking about what they would have done in Kai's situation yet none of them wished that they would be in such a horrible position.

"He probably blames himself from his mother's death…." Tyson sighed and any kind of masked happiness fell, he didn't know exactly why Kai was blaming himself or what he was feeling.

"When did this…?" Tala trailed off, he hadn't seen Kai in a while – he had watched the match between the two Hiwatari siblings but he didn't think he would be that unlucky to lose not only a parent but to have one be the cause of it.

"Just after he bet Lotan and was taken to hospital." Hilary sighed, she too had been told about it only a few minutes ago, because she was extremely angry at what Kai had done, though she began crying when she was told about what Kai had been through.

"So how did he end up strangling…her?" Tala never remembered names, and he didn't care about the girl that had been hanging around the dojo. He motioned towards the kitchen where Selene was sitting, or rather placed in to calm down. The loud sobs had died down quickly and there was nothing but silence coming from the room.

"All I heard is that he wanted her to tell him something…" Rei muttered and shook his head, why had Kai just completely gone mental at Selene, and also she hadn't looked very well when she had left the kitchen.

"So what do we do with Kai? He's obviously not fit to be around everyone else." Bryan stated and received a few glares from the BladeBreakers, not like they were very threatening.

"What do you mean, not fit." Rei frowned, and his eyes narrowing still. On the other hand Bryan was becoming increasingly annoyed by everyone else's views. Why couldn't they see how mad Kai had really gone?

"What you think he's fine?" Bryan snapped back, and it was obvious that the two teens still had some sort of rivalry that seemed to still make tension in the air. "Well, no but-." Bryan rolled his eyes at Rei's response and cut him off.

"-But everyone just strangles girls in bathrooms. Face it Kai's gone off the rails, he should be locked up." Bryan folded his arms and glared back at the offending neko-gin.

Spencer smirked and decided just to have a dig at Bryan, even if it was a very little one at that. "Some could say the same about you Bryan." Everyone had a small chuckle at that, though the lavender haired boy didn't seem too bothered by what had been said. Although the BladeBreakers were still annoyed by what he had said about Kai, though one member decided to state his true opinion.

"The thing is…Bryan is making some sense…" Everyone in the room froze and slowly looked at the World Champion, wondering if he had said it for some sort of joke or insult.

"Tyson?" Max asked, frowning a little, just making sure that only one member of the team was ill at the one time.

"I mean…he has been different…since Enya died…He hardly even yells or trains anymore. He hardly even goes out either…" It was clear from what Tyson was saying that Kai was not in his prime. Kenny sighed and nodded, each of them knowing that it was true.

"Still…we shouldn't just lock him up because he's having a hard time." Max muttered, wondering what they could do to try to get Kai back to his normal self - even if he was anti-social at the best of times.

"He's had a hard life this obviously has pushed him slightly closer to that line." Bryan stretched, not liking the fact that they were all sitting on the floor. "What line?" Tyson tilted his head unsure of what the other blader was talking about. "The line of insanity- what else?" Bryan shrugged.

"Stop saying that! Kai isn't insane." Rei snapped again, certainly not enjoying the fact that Bryan was here, though Tala couldn't help but want to silence everyone, now that he thought about it he really was the only team leader in the room.

"Shut up for a minute Bryan." Tala snapped, and the whole room went quiet once again, wondering why the redhead had silenced his team-mate.

"Look, we won't say anything about what's happened so far since it isn't our place to tell anyone…Quite frankly I don't care if Kai's gone crazy or not. But…since we are having… to stay in this house then…we'll attempt to be more civil towards him since he'll probably crack soon enough and I don't want to be here when he does." Tala was saying the truth, he had known Kai for a long time, though not necessarily liked him when he had suddenly became Boris's new favourite.

"So you're not going to annoy him - just so you don't have to deal with him if he tries to do something…?" Max looked between Spencer, Bryan and Tala each trying to get some sort of reaction out of them, but only succeed in getting a few grunts.

"You really are cowards." Tyson spat, disgusted at what the other team was suggesting, how could someone leave someone like that? Even if they didn't like them, they should at least try to help…a little, he had been in their team only a few years ago.

"What did you say?" Tala snapped his head up, he wasn't too fond of Kai but then again he wasn't sure if he should try to help. What if Kai just ended up hurting everyone anyway, and just suddenly imploded? He didn't want to be there to pick up any shattered pieces, that was for sure.

"How can you just leave someone – that used to be in your team - like that! Just because you don't want to get involved! How selfish can you be?" Tyson frowned wondering how on earth they could so easy brush Kai's problems off. Sure they were his problems but they could still help him. The Demolition Boys stayed quiet thinking about the times when Kai had came to their team.

Spencer sighed once again, "Shouldn't you guys know him better? He only came to us for a few months altogether…" There was a pause to the discussion as they were interrupted by rain as it began to fall down and hit the dojo. "But you're like him, you think the same." Tyson added, only to see each of the Demolition Boys frowning, Tala decided to speak up for the reason behind it.

"I don't really like the thought of telling you how we think." If they knew how each of them thought then it would be an easy match in any tournament, even though they had been beaten before – they never liked to lose.

"Take him to the doctors or something." Bryan wasn't too keen on talking about what they could do to help Kai. In fact he had never really trusted him.

"The doctors - we are talking about Kai? He hates the very word." Max remembered all of the times he had been to hospital just in the past year alone. Each time Kai had at least shown that he was annoyed or that he was not enjoying his stay at the hospital.

"Then knock him out, carry him there." Bryan sighed, now not caring if his ideas were shot down within seconds.

"He wouldn't say anything's wrong even if we got him there."

"Why does he have to be so damn proud?" Hilary huffed and folded her arms not understanding what Kai was thinking.

"It's not because he's proud…It's because…" Tala trailed off unsure on what to say. The BladeBreakers didn't really understand Kai at times, and although the Demolition Boys knew how he acted, they just couldn't get along with him as well as some might think.

"Explain." Tala on the other hand wasn't so sure on how to explain what Kai was feeling, he may know what he was feeling to an extent, but then again he could always be wrong. Kai was just so unpredictable. Tala wasn't really sure what he was feeling – sympathy for the Hiwatari teen? Or was he just giving out pity…? Sighing Tala went away with his thoughts unaware, that everyone was watching him.

When you're a kid…you don't usually understand…why people disappear or die…You just think it's your fault. So then, you forget about that person…They become a distant memory…and you move on. Tala frowned slightly, everyone lost someone at a particular time, and over time again they would get on with their lives but...

"Tala?" The BladeBreakers looked questionably at the other Demolition Boys just to receive the same confused look back.

But Kai…Kai has always believed that it was his fault…So whenever anyone left him…He would; again take it on as his fault… He must be dying of guilt…How could someone live, thinking they killed their mother…? Tala sighed out loud, gaining even more suspicious looks.

"Tala…?" He heard someone call his name and looked up, wondering suddenly why everyone was looking at him. "What?" He frowned when no one spoke, as if they were waiting for him to speak.

Still his thoughts started to wander again. Also…He just attacked another girl…So again another that he'll be blaming himself for that completely even if it was his own anger that done it…What else is he accusing himself of? There was a large jagging pain in Tala's side which made him come back into reality once again. "Tala." Bryan narrowed his eyes knowing that there was something wrong, but of course he knew that the redhead would say nothing.

"Ouch." Tala grumbled and sent his own glare back at the lavender haired boy, his attention was caught again by Tyson yelling. "You keep zoning out, now tell us!" Tala went to speak though suddenly heard a soft pattering…outside. He frowned and shook his head, standing up quickly, "Whatever, I'll be back in a minute…" The rest of his own team and the BladeBreakers were left dumbfounded as Tala walked out of the dojo.

"What's up with him?" Bryan tilted his head and raised an eyebrow wondering what could be wrong with his captain.

Tala sighed and walked out of the living room, and onto the small porch that was just outside, he watched as the rain fell, getting heavier and heavier – was it the rain he had heard? "You shouldn't eavesdrop." He stated, knowing that Kai had been listening, though had he heard everything.

"I have a right to. You were all talking about me." Kai slipped out of the small sunken wall that was keeping him dry and also letting him listen into the conversation with ease. Tala didn't turn to look at him, he knew Kai must have been angry. Who wouldn't be?

"Well? Have you decided to lock me up?" Tala heard the hate in his words, he began to wonder, had he been hurt by those words too? Glancing at the blue-haired teen he could see that he was staring at him, with a glare attached onto his face.

"It depends…" He turned to look at the rain once again not wanting to really speak to Kai, whatever said would have some sort of affect on Kai - and Tala was not good with words.

"If I try to kill someone again?" Kai didn't hiss the words or sound as if he was angry at being accused at trying to kill Selene. Tala frowned slightly, so he did think that he was at fault?

Of course he's at fault…No one else told him to strangle the girl! Tala was unable to answer quickly as he was slowly deciding whether to feel sorry for Kai or be uncaring as his usual stereotype would be.

"I believe that, that was your first attempt on trying to kill anyone." Tala just hoped that it would be Kai's first and last, even if he could get Kai to admit there was something wrong he wouldn't want it to get fixed, because he would still think there was nothing wrong.

"Whatever." When Tala looked back, Kai was gone, although he was probably not mentally fine he could still disappear within seconds at least that meant he wasn't completely sick.

I wonder if he'll be able to bounce back… Tala turned on heel and went back inside to have questions fired at him.

Sighing to himself he quickly shut the door, hoping that the others would at least beg for forgiveness. That…whore had done nothing but cry, saying that she had no idea what he was talking about. Lairs…

A home was a man's fortress, but this pathetic apartment was barely filled with the essentials. It was a miracle to say the least that the water worked after and before ten. Not like it was going to help him when he was away at work.

"I wonder…" He sighed as he looked over his 'living room' possessions, a large comfy chair sat in the middle of the room with two large tables with books and notes piled high on them, a hallway to the right.

The man grinned, and decided to clean up, since he had made quite a mess when that girl had tried to get away, why didn't they all know that they were going to die anyway, why did they just cry instead of thanking him…?

Like always he turned on the television wondering if anyone had come across his work. Slowly taking off his jacket and slowly placing it onto the chair he turned and headed for the bathroom.

Walking down the tiny hallway he came to the door that led to his small box-like bathroom, and started to wash the horrible red blood off the black leather gloves. Another sigh, though on of content came from him and he slowly edged away from the sink as he heard a woman speaking, it sounded as if they had found her.

"A horrible murder has taken place, a poor woman has been killed, but the brutality of this crime is unspeakable…The young woman only aged seventeen has been dismembered and thrown carelessly into a heap next to the monument that was vandalised a few days ago! Police say that it was not the woman's blood that wrote the message and therefore is not linked to the threats made. The woman has still not been identified."

The man shook his head wondering why police could even think such things, he had written them a note, a large note that everyone could see. Only the dumb ones that were lazy would read it…The smart ones would solve it. Now that the message had come through saying that he could kill…. He would now start to select the ones that would be harmed first.

"I think…because I've done so much work…That the lazy should be punished." He smiled to himself and sat down, taking a handful of book and papers and began reading them, wondering if he would ever be able to get through them in time. "The lazy should be hurt in an appropriate manner. I'll have to go to the train station now…" He shook his head and placed the books gently down, before leaving, locking the door and going down to look at how much it would cost to travel to the main city.

Author's Note: I'm not happy with this chapter, and I have no idea why, maybe because it's kind of like a…. filler with nothing really happening except from the end. Well anyway thanks for reading, please review if it was okay!
