Another quick note Brat means brother in Russian so when you see the word brat used between Kai and Kagen that is why, also I have decided to try and do the short quick chapters, it's just one of those things that I really don't know where to end them and it just looks right where I stopped them.

Also concerning the 10 reviews things, umm that was a miss type I meant to put 5 but my little sister was doing math homework and I heard 10 and kind of typed that by accident sooo, ya.

DISCLAMER: Okay I don't own Beyblade, wish I did but I don't

Anyways hope you enjoy this one.

Kai's POV

Kagen nodded to the men on either side of me. The men got to work pulling a bag over my head and securing my hands behind me with what felt like bendable wire.

I felt suffocated, closed in even though I knew I was still outside. From some distance I could hear Kagen's voice as he whispered into a walkie-talkie. Soon enough the van that Kagen had no doubt been calling pulled in front of them.

They dragged me into the van, I didn't struggle, I couldn't that's why when I heard them yelling to get the taser-gun I knew Ray had woken up before they could get him into the van and most likely before they could properly restrain him as well.

Part of me wanted him to get away, but there was another part of me that didn't want to be left alone, NO Kai you dumb ass of course he needs to get away. This is a family thing; it's stupid and selfish beyond reason to want Ray to have to suffer with you.

As I cursed at myself I heard Ray yelling. "You're all insane if you think for one second that I am going to go back to that hell hole without a fight!" Wait did he just say back? When had he ever meet my Grandfather, well aside from when the team had meet him, but he said Hell hole which implied something like the Abbey.

I wished I could see. I needed to know what was happening. Then I heard another voice and part of my heart broke. "Ray." Kagen said coldly. "Give up, it's over. You can't run any longer. Take a page from Kai's book and accept you fate with pride as your people should." My blood ran cold and my heart felt like it was going to pump its way out of my chest.

That cold voice, it felt nothing, no compassion, no love, none of the traits that I had admired about my dear brother seemed to remain.

The Kagen I knew was dead, replaced by someone that looked like Kagen, sounded like him and in ways still acted like him, but in so many more ways was completely different.

Flashback
*****

A young boy with two-toned hair sits on the floor, looking under the bed as if trying to find something

"Bolʹshoĭ brat?" The boy looks up, another boy a few years his younger stands in his doorway, tears snaking their way down his cheeks. The former boy stands up, slight alarm in his voice. "Kagen, what's wrong?"

The younger boy runs forward throwing his arms around the elder. "Kai, it's Grandfather. He got mad again I, I didn't know what to do. . ." Kagen's voice falters as tears work their way down his face. Kai pulls his brother out to arms length.

"What did Grandfather do Kagen? Tell me now!" The frightened boy digs his head back into his brother's chest. "He got so mad." Kagen repeats again as if that was the only thing that mattered.

Anger rises in Kai throat, as he sees his younger brother's arm, a long gash running down the side, the skin already turning a sickly green as the cut infected itself. "Kagen." Kai says keeping his anger out of his voice. "Did Grandfather do this to you?" Kagen blinks away tears and nods slowly, seeing the anger flair in his brother's eyes, he grabs tighter onto his shirt.

"Please Bolʹshoĭ brat don't do anything. It'll be okay soon, I deserved it." Kai's hands ball into fist. "Kagen," He begins pulling his brother into his room and sitting him down on the bed.

"Never think that Grandfather hurting you is okay. " Kagen had been born weak and Kai's goal was to keep him safe and to keep his illness from getting any worse; their grandfather was making that goal very difficult to achieve.

Kagen smiles slightly but his eyes grow wide. Digging his head into the pillow on the bed he begins to cough violently. Kai sits onto the edge of the bed, putting a hand to his brothers back. "Kagen," He whispers, wishing there was something anything he could do to help his little brother. Finally the coughing subsides and Kagen looks up from the pillow.

"Kai?" Kagen says quietly. "Yes what is it?" Kagen wraps his hand around Kai's scarf. "Please don't do anything; I don't want you to get hurt. I just want you to be here, with me." Kai stands up and walks out of the room.

Tears come to Kagen's eyes as a feeling of abandon starts to set in. before it could however Kai walks back in, scrubbing-alcohol and bandages in toe.

Kai sits onto the bed and begins to bandage the cut. When the alcohol first touches Kagen's skin he can't help but flinch away. "Kai?" Kai looks up at the call of his brother before going back to work on the cut. "What is it Kagen?"

Kai finishes the wrap just as Kagen opens his mouth to answer. "Would you be better off if I was dead?"

Kai pulls the final knot harder then he meant to, seeing his brother wince he silently curses himself. "Why would you ever say that? Why would you even think that?"

Kagen lays back in the bed curling into a ball at the head of the bed. "That is what Grandfather said. I guess I just wanted to make sure you didn't feel the same way." Kai lies beside his brother wrapping his arms around him to keep him safe.

"You're my mladshiĭ brat; I could never feel like that." Kai feels the tension go out of the young boys shoulders. "Kai, you'll never leave me, will you?" Kai hugs him tighter. "Never."

Flashback Ends
************

Waking up in a dark, cold place is never fun, but when you have a bag over your head and it's your own little brother that put you there it kind of makes things worse.

After a few moments of silence I felt the bag being ripped of my head, as dim light cut into my eyes I looked up at who had taken it off.

Light blue pools stared back at me with tears hugging the edges of them. The owner knelt down in front of me; their head hung low, their deep blue hair covering their features. The figurers shoulders shook as tears began to roll down the person face.

I kept my face blank not willing to fall for another trick. The figure looked up, finally forcing me to look him directly in the eyes. "What do you want?" I asked coldly.

Kagen smiled weakly, it took his smile to make me see, it was the real Kagen. "Kai, I came because I wanted to say bye." I tried to pull my hands forward to place on his shoulders in comfort but they were still bond behind my back.

"Kagen, why are you telling me bye?" I don't want to know the answer Kagen, please understand that. He shook his head again. "Grandfather." His view switched to the floor as he refused to look me in the eyes.

"I've been trying so hard to fight him like you use to but I just can't. He turned me into something," Finally he looked me back in my eyes as blue meet crimson; I wished I could help him. "Something . . ." he whispered and I had to strain to hear him. "That scares me."

I bit my lip. "Kagen . . ." He smiled at me sadly cutting me off. "He isn't done yet Kai. When he is done I won't be able to regain control, that thing that he has turned me into, it will have full control and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm going to be your enemy and I won't be able to come back to your side . . . where I want to be."

I felt anger swell up in my chest, how Voltaire could do this to anyone I didn't know, but especially Kagen, his grandson of all people! Kagen leaned forward and gave me a hug, before whispering into my ears. "I wanted you to know that I will always be on your side in my heart Bolʹshoĭ brat."

Then I heard it a snap, as a felt my hands go free. Looking into Kagen's eyes I knew that I needed to pretend for now that I was still bound. "Goodbye Bolʹshoĭ brat, this is the last time we're ever going to see each other like this."

I felt my heart go into my throat as I whispered. "Kagen, you freed me, we can get out of here together." Kagen shook his head. "Maybe we could have if you didn't have to find your other friend." That's when I got it, I had to choose. If I escaped with my brother I would have to leave Ray and if I found Ray I would have to leave Kagen.

"I'm not leaving you here, not again." I whispered, seeing the tears behind his eyes I wished I didn't have to keep up the stupid restraint scheme. "You have to Kai, I'll live I can promise that, your friend . . ."

He stopped for a second as if recalling some horrific sight. "Well I can't say the same for him. I love you Kai, please make the right choice." He stood up and walked over to the door, with one last sad smile at me he disappeared behind the door.

I had already made my choice. I'm sorry Ray, but there is no way I am going to leave Kagen to that psycho a second time, not knowing what he has done to him and especially not now knowing what he is going to do to him.

Ray's POV
********

My eyes opened to see a guy standing behind me trying to restrain my hands. It didn't take me long to get to my feet, I had about four guys fall on me at the same time, was that the best they had. I jumped up throwing a punch at one of the guys that covered his newly blooded nose, yelling into his hand. "Get the taser-gun." I landed a round house kick into the ribs and heard a crack, ohh ouch.

"You're all insane if you think for one second that I am going to go back to that hell hole without a fight!" A yelled as I kicked another where the sun didn't shine, loser. There was only one more before I was home free.

"Ray." I heard someone say coldly. "Give up, it's over. You can't run any longer. Take a page from Kai's book and accept you fate with pride as your people should." Kai, I turned on my heels avoiding anther swing from my attempted captors, seeing the inside of the van I saw Kai sitting on the floor, crap.

I spun back around only to be met face to face with dead blue eyes. "I have to do everything." He whispered. I felt a surge of electricity flood up my body forcing it into shut down mood. I fell to my knees as more electricity flooded through me. I looked up through silted eyes. "I'll remember you," I said marking him as my next target, before passing out into oblivion.

The next thing I knew I was sitting up in a room somewhere. Cold stone, surrounding me, a single door the only accesses to the outside world.

My head was still spinning as I heard a voice come from beside me. "It's awake." I turned to glare at who had spoke. Two men stood in the corner one, the one who had spoke, with a long hood pulled over his face, the other I recognized as the one and only Boris. "Great," I muttered.

Boris looked over at the other man. "Go get Leonine tell him his thing has woken up." I felt my stomach twist around. "So you are connected to Leonine?" I asked Boris after the other man had left.

"We both work for Voltaire; we are under very different divisions though." I leaned back into the wall, its cold penetrating my shirt.

"Figures, you two are two of a kind." "I'll take that as a complement." My blood ran cold as I heard the voice that had haunted my dreams for years. Turning to face the man who had spoken, I lost my voice.

He stood there proud, auburn hair falling loosely around his face, showing off his sharp features, his red eyes gleaming dangerously, a wicked smile lighting his face. "Hello Ray, I must say it's been a long time since we have seen each other has it not?"

I opened my mouth to speak but found no words would come. "Boris I am sure you have work to do with our other, guest." I saw Boris growl at Leonine and it didn't take a genius to figure out they didn't like one another. As soon as Boris left, I heard Leonine laugh, a laugh that sent chills down my spine.

"Alone at last," I could feel my skin crawl at his voice, at the twisting look that was in his eyes.

"What do you want with me?" He shook his head in disappointment. "Ray you know why you are here. You where never given permission to leave, although I am impressed how long you where able to lie low and stay hidden, you must have known you couldn't stay hidden forever. Once you become a target there is no escape, till death you belong to us. That was the deal we made, remember you agreed to it as well."

The words haunted me like a ghost, I remembered the words clearly. Two years of living in fear had forced me into agreeing to them. "It didn't count. I never signed that stupid paper." He smiled and walked around the room.

"That is true you did escape before you could sign anything, that doesn't mean however that Voltaire didn't accept the terms. You remember the deal right? We would give you a new life, take away all those painful memories and in return you would work for us, forever until your death."

"I changed my mind." I said bitterly. "Sorry Ray can't do that." He was standing in the shadows now, my keen eyes barley picking up his form. "Looks to me like I did." I hissed not wanting trying to see what he was doing.

"Then I guess we'll just have to start over from scratch wont we Ray?" I saw his smile widen as he stepped out of the shadows, pulling something out of his pocket as he walked over to me.

Standing over me, a sick smile on his face and a blade in his hand, it was just like before, the worse two years of my life and he was going to make them happen all over again. No matter what I said or did.

Kai's POV

I sat there not knowing what to do. If I saved Kagen I had to leave Ray and the same the other way around. How could I have ever gotten into a stupid mess like this?

I heard the door open and brought my view up to look at who had came in. "Boris." I mumbled, why him?

"Kai, you look . . . horrible." Boris said with a smile. I glared at him. "What do you want Boris?" Boris walked over to me. "Not me your Grandfather."

I felt my blood freeze inside my veins. "What does he want?" I demanded. Boris pulled me to my feet, he assumed I was still bound and that's when I got it Kagen knew that he was coming to get me; this was going to be my one shot to escape.

"He wants to welcome his . . . Guest."

******
A/N

Poor Kai having to chose like this, his brother or his friend.

If you can't tell I don't have Ray and Kai being quite as tight as most people do

That is only because it's coming. I am building it so just be patient, Kay?

Also fair warning Kagen is based off someone I am close to in real life, so don't expect him to go away anytime soon.
