Okay, I'm back! Thanks so mutch for the reviews! And, about that little challenge last time: you guys are good! The first who figured it out was ShadowWolfDagger, and then Amanita Virosa-Amaranthus did too. Well done! And because of that: Kai will survive! The right answer was: Echoes from the past.

Chapter 8: 'Come to me...'

'Kai...Are you there?...Can you hear me?'

Suddenly, Kai were surrounded by voices. Around him, the only thing that could be seen, was darkness. Kai stood silently and listened. A light started to shine nearby. He blinked confusedly. He felt so safe in this darkness, but still...He started to walk towards the light. The voices yelled at him to stop, to come back. But he just continued walking.

'Kai..come, come to me. I'm here...Kai...come!'

'Yes, I'm coming...'

Then, he started to run. The light came closer and closer, he could'nt remember that he'd ever been running that fast before. There was no way he could stop now!

'KAI!'

It was like he had been running through a tunnel. The light he had seen was just the end of it, and now he stood on the outside. He was in a room. The walls was painted in light coulours and three high windows gave enough light for him to see at all. There was nothing more to say about it, and what he fist noticed: no doors. Then how was he supposed to get out?

'I knew you would come...'

Kai turned quickly. Behind him, stood...a little boy. He gasped when he saw the boys eyes. His own.

'I have been waiting for a long time...'

Kai took a step backwards. Something was very wrong. An intense pain shot through him head, and he could feel how his heart started to beat slower.

'I knew you would come back to us.' repeated five year old Kai, with a small smile. 'But some things, can never be forgiven!'

Kai screamed in pain, as the little boy ran forward and threw his arms around him.

"Kai? KAI!"

"NO! GET OFF ME!"

Kai stumbled out of the bed. In front of him stood Tyson, Max and Ray, worryed looks on their faces.

"Kai, calm down. It's okay. It was just a nightmare"

He shook his head. No, It was not okay. Not anymore...

"TYSON! WAKE UP NOW, OR DO I HAVE TO COME INSIDE AND DRAG YOU OUT!?"

Kai stood outside the door that leaded to Tyson's room. It was waired actually. The others who were sitting downstairs, eating breakfast, could hear him perfectly. But Tyson did'nt even wake up. He sighed, and opened the door. The room was bathed with sunlight, and Tyson was ofcourse lying in his bed, still asleep.

Kai stopped in front of the bed, wondering what to do next. 'Damned! I did'nt bring any water!' he thought. But then he smiled. 'Yeah, that could work.'

BAM!

Max let down his fork and looked up at the roof. "What the heck?"

"Damned! What has he done now?!" Ray cursed and ran out of the kitchen, Max following him. Once thay were upstairs, they were met by Kai who walked out of Tyson's room. Ray stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"Hey! What the heck did you do?"

Kai grinned evily. "I threw him into a wall."

Max steared at him. "Kai! Thats terrible!"

"Dont worry, It'll look better once we frame it."

Max laughed out loud. Ray shook his head, and ran into Tysons room to make shure he was still alive.

Kai rolled his eyes and walked slowly down the stairs, in deep thoughts. Now, he remembered what he hated most about this place. It was because it was so huge, like a church. Ofcourse, the place was beautiful, but you could allways tell if there was someone outside your room, walking in the hallways.

"Hey, Kai" Max ran after him, still with a huge smile on his face.

"Hn?" Kai said, a bit pissed off.

"You know, I've been looking at that painting, and there is some things I want to ask about."

He sighed. Why was they all so interested in that damned painting?

"Well, what is it?"

Max smiled even wider, and walked over to the huge painting.

"Okay, fist question: Who is this?" He pointed at the little brown haired girl beside the painted Kai. Kai looked at her, not too shure what to say.

"Ehm, that's... that's my little sister," he said, slowly.

Max looked at him with huge eyes. He opened and closed his moth several times, and Kai was shure he wanted to ask about where she was now.

"Ehm...oh, I see. I didn't know you had a little sister. Well, ehm...and then I just wondered about...why does everyone look like that?"

"Like what?"

"Well, everyone looks so...sad." He nearly whispered the last word.

Kai looked up at the painting.

"Ehm...Kai? Something wrong?"

Kai had frozen to the spot, eyes wide in shock. The painting had changed. It was no longer a painting of a "happy family", like Tyson had said it. The man and the woman in the middle, had terrefied looks on their faces, and Kai got the feeling that they were stearing right on him. And the painted version of his little sister looked so sad, like she knew what was going to happen some years later.

And then, Kai saw it.

"Kai? Kai please...say something!" Max grabbed his shoulders.

"What?...Oh, ehm. It's nothing, I...I just..." Kai turned away from the blond boy, and ran up the stairs. Away from the painting. He was glad Max hadn't seen it.

He stopped outside his room, leaning his hands against his knees to catch his breath. He swallowed, and was about to open the door, when he heard something from the other end of the corridor. He stood silently and listened. And then, he heard it again. It sounded like a spinning beyblade. Kai walked down the corridor, while trying to listen through the doors he passed. Suddenly the door in front of him creaked open, and Tyson came walking out. He looked as tired as he allways did at this time of the day.

"Oh, there you are! I have been-"

"Shut up! Cant you hear that?..."

Tyson closed his mouth and listened. Then he shook his head.

"Nope, nothing."

"Hn." Kai walked pass him amd towards the last door, the one beside Tyson's room.

"Hey, Kai. Whats wrong?" he whispered.

Kai shook his head, and opened the door. The room inside was painted in light colours in a pretty barock style. Two windows gave light to the room, but besides from that, there were no furnitures at all. The sounds came from a black beyblade that was spinning on the floor. He could hear Tyson gasp behind him.

"Kai?...What is going on?"

But Kai weren't looking at the black blade, but the room. He had been there before. In a dream.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Max and Ray appeared behind him.

Kai stood still, stearing at the beyblade in front of him. "He's here." He wispered.

Tyson looked into the small room. "What? Who's here?"

'Kai.'

He froze. "Did you guys hear that?"

Ray looked at him like he was mad. "Kai? Are you okay? And who's bayblade is that?"

'I have been waiting for you Kai...'

Suddenly, he could feel Tyson's hand on his forearm.

"What?!" he whispered though his teeth towards Tyson. Then he understood that Tyson was dumb with fear. All he could do was pointing at a spot behind the door.

Kai took three steps into the room, and then opened the door a bit wider. Behind it, sat a five year old boy, with two toned hair and crimson coloured eyes.

'I knew you would come...'

The boys eyes shined of a hate he had never seen before. The five year old rose to his feets, the ice cold stare never letting go of Kai's.

'But some things can never be forgiven!!!'

Well, another chapter done. Please R&R
