uh, / and \ mean that the person is speaking in a different language, but i don't know it so i'll just put that in to make it seem like that.
Kai knew that his opponent would give in eventually; he had done this a million times before. It was the time of the world finals, the time of deciding who would be the beyblading world champ. Anytime now, he thought, anytime. Just as he knew, Rei pulled away at that exact moment for breath.
"See. I can beat you anyday." Kai said in a mocking tone. Rei just giggled and snuggled deep into Kai's lap, wrapping arms tightly around his shoulders. They were alone and comfortable. Just how they liked it.
It was the time of the world finals, both of them knew it. But how could they be serious like this? They had been in love since the American tournament, but didn't let it interfere with their blading. They knew when to be serious, and when they could just enjoy being with the other. But now, it was less than an hour until the champion would be revealed. So why would they waste their time thinking about how Tyson was going when they knew he was more than capable of whipping Tala's ass?
After the match, the BladeBreakers were named the chamions of the Beyblading world. When the whole announcement was over with, Kai grabbed Rei's hand and they ran out into the snow. They were both in one of the best moods they had ever been in, and were looking forward to an entire afternoon together. So that's why Rei was surprised when Kai stopped suddenly; and Rei crashed into him.
"Kai? What did you stop for?" Rei asked giggling. He threw his arms around Kai's neck, and tried to get a kiss, but Kai pushed him away.
"Kai? What's wrong?" Rei asked, his voice suddenly full of confusion and concern.
Kai merely raised a hand to point at what Rei hadn't yet noticed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Boris was standing there with the Demolition Boys behind him, an evil look on his ugly face. Rei cowered behind Kai, trying to find a direction that they could run in. But behind them, a van had pulled up that Kai hadn't noticed; his eyes were fixed on Boris.
"What is this? What do you want with us?" Kai demanded to know.
"Oh, you'll find out soon enough." Boris said with a grin, and grabbed the boys by their necks. Kai knew better that to try and escape when someone was holding him this way, but Rei had no idea. He kicked and screamed, trying to hit Boris with all his might. They were thrown into the back of the van, and the doors were slammed behind them.
They heard the Demolition Boys get into the front fot the van, and they started moving.
Kai sat with his back against the wall. It was pitch black in there, and he had no idea if Rei was next to him or not.
Before he knew it, Rei silently started to cry. Crystal clear droplets fell down his cheeks, and he called out for the only other person he cared about.
"Kai! Where are you?" He sniffed.
"Rei, i'm fine. I'm sitting near the back of the van, but against the wall."
A few seconds later, Kai felt Rei crawl into his lap.
"Kai? Where are we going?" Rei asked in a small voice, then he sniffed.
"I don't know. But no matter what they do, don't give in to them. They're pure evil, and have a way of manipulating you to think things that aren't true. Just remember that Rei. I love you, and i promise that everything will be fine. I swear to you, you'll be fine, and so will i. Just trust me." Rei curled up against Kai, gripping the silky material of Kai's shirt tightly in his fists.
Kai leant down, and kissed Rei softly. Rei knew he could trust Kai, he had to. Kai had dealt with them before, and he knew what to do. Rei couldn't see it, but a moment later, he knew that Kai was crying as well. He felt the tear fall onto his hand. That's when he knew that even Kai was afraid of them. Kai was holding Rei tightly, running his hands over the soft hair, muttering that they would be fine - but Rei had a sudden feeling that they wouldn't be. KAI was scared, he was never scared, even at most things that would give others nightmares he held his head high and didn't even flinch.
"Kai, you know what they're like. That's why you're afraid, isn't it?" Rei asked timidly. There was a long silence before Kai answered.
"I guess i am. I haven't known real fear since i was here when i was little. Oh, god. Rei, no matter what happens or what they do, don't give in, don't trust them, especially if Boris says that something won't hurt - trust me, it will. I know what they're capable of."
Rei had the sudden urge to break down and cry just like a little kid. He did. He wasn't crying loudly or anything, but he was shaking all over, tears were coming faster than he could wipe than away, and the only comfort he could find was Kai.
"K...Kai, i'm so...sc..scared.....wha..what...will the..they do?"
"Oh, Rei. I have no idea, but i know how you feel. They did this to me so long ago, but i remember the feeling that i have right now. Pure horror, Rei. Even i have no idea what scheme Boris has come up with this time." Kai couldn't do anything about the situation they were in, or what would happen to them as soon as Boris took them wherever he was heading. All he could do was comfort Rei, and in doing so, comforting himself in the fact that he knew Rei wasn't feeling so scared. But they both were. Two of the most fearless beybladers around were cowering in each others arms, fearing for the other more than himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The van started to slow down, and Kai knew there was only a few moments left where they would be safe. He leant down and kissed Rei's trembling lips, and wiped away as many tears as he could in the dark.
"Remember how much i love you......" Kai whispered, then the doors at the back were opened.
They grabbed Rei first. He was dragged kicking and screaming away from Kai. He reached out to try and grab Kai's outstretched hand. He grabbed it, but only for a few seconds. Another hand came out of nowhere, slamming Rei's wrist, forcing it away.
"NO! KAI!! NO!! LET ME GO!!!" Rei screamed, tears covering his pale cheeks. He tried kicking, biting, yelling, but in the end, none of it had any effect. He was taken inside the place he thought he would never see again. It was the Abbey where the Demolition Boys trained. He was taken down, deep under the main building. He had a brief recollection of this place, and screamed as soon as he saw it, the noise echoing off the stone walls.
Kai was completely different. His heart ached at the sight of seeing Rei that distraught. He had promised that nothing would happen to either of them, and already Rei had a dull ache in his wrist from where he had been forced to let go of Kai's hand. The tears on Kai's face had dried in the frigid wind outside, but it felt like his knees were going to give way underneath him as soon as he saw the stone building. The place he dreaded, the place that had haunted his dreams for the last ten years. His hands were being held behind his back as he was led down to the secret part of the building. He head a scream echo through the stone hallway.
"REI!!! HANG ON, YOU'LL BE FINE!!!" Kai bellowed, but was cut short as a hand clamped his mouth shut. He was thrown into a damp room that held two rooms that looked like prison cells. Nothing in it, the stone walls were bare, but a small sheet was lying in the corner. Boris and his henchmen left room laughing, saying something that sounded like, 'In the morning, just you wait kid. More pain that you ever thought you'd have to go through again.'
Kai looked up and saw something that made him feel even worse about his situation. Rei was in a cell across the room from him, looking terrified, clutching the grimy sheet tightly as if it were Kai's shirt.
"Rei, are you alright?" Kai asked in a soft, soothing voice.
"Kai! Why are we here?"Rei asked, his bottom lip trembling.
"I don't know. But i do know that whatever they're planning will start in the morning. I heard them say it as they walked out."
"Kai, i'm scared. They said something to me, and i don't know what they're planning to do, but i don't really like the sound of it."
"What did they say Rei?"
"They said something about feeling the worst pain i could ever imagine....."
Kai tried to swallow what he had to say, but knew Rei would find out in the morning anyway.
"That's probably the only thing you can rely on them saying. It will be painful Rei, i've been through it all before. I know you haven't but do your best. Don't think about it, just keep your mind on me, ok?"
Rei gave a slight nod, before whispering.
"I love you Kai."
"Shh, i know. I love you too Rei. Try to go to sleep, this will probably be the last time you get to have a full night sleep in a while."
Rei nodded slightly before wrapping himself in the dirty sheet and leaning against the cold bars of the cell where he could see Kai. Trying to imagine that he was safe in Kai's arms rather than an old sheet he cried himself to sleep about half an hour later.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rei was jerked awake by someone grabbing his collar.
"Get up kid, or Boris will make it twice as painful."
Rei reluctantly stood up and followed the strange man outside of the room. He saw that Kai's cell was already empty.
"Wh..where's Kai?" He asked.
"Already down the hall. You'll see him in a moment." The man said with and evil grin.
He opened a door, and pushed Rei inside, slamming the door right away. As soon as Rei saw what was in front of him, he slammed back against the door, slumping to the floor in terror. There was a large, dark room and all over the place were bottles with no lables, empty syringes, and there was puddles on the floor of god-knows-what. When Rei finally worked up the courage to look up, he almost passed out. Kai was sitting in a chair with his hands tied to the arms, wearing only a pair of shorts. He had sweat running from his temples, and his eyes were dating back and forth, looking for Boris. By the looks of it, he had already had quite a few needles jabbed roughly into his arm.
"No, no...this isn't happening...." Rei muttered. "KAI!" He called out, and ran to the chair. Kai's eyes widened in shock when Boris reached out and grabbed Rei.
"LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD!" Rei yelled as loudly as he could.
"It's no use kid, this building is like outer space. No one can hear you scream." Boris said with an evil grin. He threw Rei roughly into a chair right across from Kai, and tied his arms down.
Kai was petrified. He felt an anger so strong surging through his veins, he couldn't bear to see anyone hurt Rei.
"Boris, let him go. I don't care what the hell you do to me, just let him go, please, listen to me."
"Keep quiet, you fool." Boris muttered and turned to Rei.
"I guess that by now you have some idea what's going on, don't you, you pathetic excuse for a beyblader." And with that, he hit Rei across the head, forcing a small trickle of blood to form from under his dark hairline.
Rei didn't know why, or where this sudden urge to fight back was coming from, but he found himself yelling right back into Boris' face.
"Oh yeah? If i'm such a pathetic beyblader, how come i managed to beat Bryan, then?"
Suddenly Rei regreted saying that. He felt another sharp pain across his cheek, and felt it already starting to bruise.
"No! Leave him out of this! Let him go, he doesn't want anything to do with your experiments! Just do whatever you want to me, but please, just let Rei go....." Kai said, tears forming in his crimson eyes, the pain of his own injuries disappearing, and they were starting to look full of fear for Rei's safety rather than his own.
"You think i should let him go, do you, you little brat? You managed to escape years ago but now, you'll never manage to get out of this place alive. BioVolt have upped our security by about one hundered new guards." Boris said, turning to Kai. He grabbed a syringe full of a clear liquid of the table and turned back to Rei.
"NO!!! DON'T DO IT YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Kai screamed. But it was too late. Rei's golden eyes widened in fear as he watched the point extend towards the crook of his elbow.
"No!! Please, don't come near me, stay away, don't......" Rei's eyes were full of terror as the cruel man approached him. He watched Boris lower his arm, and then he felt the strongest pain in his right arm. Boris had just shoved the point right into his arm. It was far from the way doctors carefully inject people, trying to reduce pain, but by the feel of it, Boris was trying to inflict as much pain as he could. When he finally pulled it out what seemed like an eternity later, Rei was trembling from head to toe, and His face was covered in tears and sweat.
Kai had closed his eyes as he saw Boris approach Rei, but when he opened them the sight he saw completely broke his heart. Rei's face was completely wet, and his eyes lookd not at all like they should, full of happiness and joy. His arms looked like it was already stating to swell up, and there was a trickle of blood from the new wound.
No, not Rei, anyone but Rei.....he means everything to me....i need him, don't hurt him any more, you complete bastard. Hurting innocent people like this, especially Rei. Ok, so i ran away from this place and i guess that for all i've done to others i deserve this pain, but i can handle it, i've been through it all before. But Rei has never hurt anyone, and he's probably never even been in a schoolyard fight before, he barely knows what physical pain is, god, just let go of him........ Kai thought.
Suddenly, Kai was ripped from his thoughts as he was taken to another place.....one he unfortunately remembered quite well. He remembered being tested here....needles all day....blood all over the place....he even remembered quite clearly the day he had been sitting in this room, being injected with about seven different chemicals at once, when another student from the Abbey had found his way down to the dungeon. But back in the present, Kai saw the same boy there, but this time he wasn't screaming or trying to get away. Tala was standing there with an evil grin on his face, like he knew what was about to happen. Unfortunately for Kai, he grabbed a syringe from the table and quick as lightning, he stabbed Kai's arm with it.
Kai felt like he was going to pass out for a moment, but then he felt wide awake. It was like he suddenly HAD to fight. He felt it...through his veins.....fight, fight, fight......Something in the back of his mind reminded him of this feeling.....he wasn't sure where......closing his eyes to think for a moment.....then he remembered. He started to laugh.
"Boris, you are so fucking pathetic." He said through laughter.
Ok, so the kid's grown up a bit. But does he really think insulting me will work? Boris thought.
"You know, I've got the strangest feeling that this has happened before. Maybe that's because that you're so fucking brain-dead that you don't realise that you injected me with this when I was only five. I managed to survive it then, and I will now." Kai said, still laughing.
"Oh?" Boris raised an eyebrow. "Well, it's stronger now, and YOU might be able to stand it, but I think we all know someone who might not.........." He said with and evil smirk on his disgusting face.
MEANWHILE........
"Let go of me! Don't touch me, please, just get that thing away from me and let go!" Rei cried to the two people holding him down as a third forced a needle into his arm.
"What's the point to this? Is there a point to injecting me with all these chemicals?" Rei asked through tears.
"Not really. Just to see your reaction to the pain and the contents of this."
With an evil smirk, the strongest of them all grabbed Rei and carried him kicking and screaming into the other room, where Kai was.
"KAI! Why are they doing this? I can't take it anymore!" Rei called.
"Just hang on, Rei. I love you so much, you have to hold up, for me, ok?"
That was all Kai got to say before he was silenced with a hand.
At that moment, Boris walked in.
"Sir," Tala muttered, and walked over to Boris, trying to ask something. Suddenly, Boris shouted something that scared Rei further.
"For gods sake, you idiot. They can't possibly understand Russian, just say it. If I must say though, I'm sure our little friend here has forgotten every single word of it since his age of about, 5 was it?" Boris said, glaring at Kai.
So Tala started speaking in Russian at an amazing pace, his words precise, but they seemed a bit edgy, even to Rei who had no idea what was going to happen to him. He watched as two of the worst people he could imagine were conversing in a language so foreign to him, not having any idea what was about to happen to him. Every so often, Boris would nod and Tala would continue. As another torrent of tears reached his eyes, Rei looked over at Kai. He had gone silent, and was staring right at Boris and Tala.
Suddenly....
"DON'T DO IT YOU EVIL BASTARDS! LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT!" Kai bellowed.
"So it seems that you still know how to speak Russian after all this time, Kai." Boris said smugly.
"Of course I do. I was born and grew up here. I had to know it. So I know Japanese and English now. They were just two other languages that I had to learn to be able to fend for myself in this world. But even if I never came back here, like I never planned to, I was taught Russian as my first language. My first words, my first plots against other people, all in Russian. But then, since I hated this place so much, I ran, not exactly forgetting it, but just cramming it into the back of my mind, like unnecessary information."
"Ok then, you should know by now what we're planning to do to your little friend here." Tala said.
"I do, but I don't want it to happen. If you have to do it to someone, do it to him." Kai said, nodding toward Boris.
"Tala knows the rules of this place, more than you seem to think, Kai. He knows that if he even attempts to hurt anyone I have instructed him not to, he'll be out of here faster than you can beat a weak opponent." Boris said. Tala remained silent, not speaking, but the silence in his eyes was freaking Rei out. He seemed too calm for what was going on in this place. Not knowing why, he dared to ask.
"Why is Tala so calm when we're being tortured here?"
"Because he knows. He knows what the chemicals do, why we do this. He's been a part of this since he was born, growing up here, learning about the ways of BioVolt. He has a strong mind and will. He knows all about the chemicals, and I daresay that in a few weeks, he'll be mixing them on his own without supervision, being entirely trusted with BioVolt's biggest secrets." Boris told them, then chose to leave the room. "Just make sure they stay here Tala."
"You're cruel," Rei breathed. "You do this because you're told to? You could have had a choice. But now, because you were too cowardly to run like Kai did, you're stuck, stuck doing this for the rest of your life!" Rei said in a voice that Kai had never heard before. He sounded more confident, like Kai had when.....
"HOW STRONG WERE THE CHEMICALS YOU INJECTED INTO HIM!?!?!!?" Kai screamed. "TELL ME!!!"
"Oh, only strong enough to make him like this for a few hours. But after a while, he'll become immune to it, so we'll have to make the dosage stronger."
"/You're pure evil, Tala, you know that? You know just how evil? I know that I might deserve this, I know I left this disgusting place years ago, but Rei doesn't know pain, leave him out of this. Just test out the things on me, and leave him out of this.\" Kai said. Rei couldn't understand a word of it, Kai had started speaking in fluent Russian. Rei almost passed out when he heard his name, a word that couldn't be translated.
"/Well, I don't care. If you had stayed here longer, you just might have become a better Byeblader than you are now. You might have been the one to be doing these experiments on others, but no, you had to leave, you left and gave away the only chance you had to becoming the best Beyblader on the planet. Voltaire saw your talent, that's why he brought you here. To be the best, but you chose against that, against your Grandfathers wishes.\"
"/I don't care. I hated this place. I chose against everything my grandfather wanted, I hated him then and still do now.\"
"/You were always the one breaking the rules around this place, and you always got away with it, just because your grandfather owned the place.\"
"/I couldn't care less if I was told to die by my grandfather! I never listened to him. Once, when I was only a baby, I did have parents. I don't remember them, and I'll never know them. You know what? I don't really care. Voltaire took me from them, against their will, they wanted me to grow up away from this place, they didn't want me to become involved with all this BioVolt stuff, but I don't care now. I have Rei, he's all I need.\"
Rei heard his name again. Through this entire time, he had been wondering what they had been talking about. He was watching their faces for clues, watching the expressions. The last expression he saw was on Kai's face, the one he hated. Kai looked mad. He hated it when Kai was mad, and since they had been together, really the only time he seemed to even let anger show was in the Beystadium.
"/Oh, really? Now that you're stuck here, you have no say in what we inject you with. Your body is used to them, but his isn't. So what would you do if we threatened him?\"
"/First, I'd make sure Rei was safe, then i'd wring your neck and hang you out on a stake to rot.\"
"/I see that you're very emotionally attached to him.\"
"/And what if I am?\"
"/I'll just have to make sure he gets hurt even further.\" Tala said, grinning evilly at the thought.
"/STAY AWAY FROM HIM!\"
Tala grabbed a syringe and shoved it into Rei's wrist. He hissed in pain, trying to free himself. He kicked out, but Tala guessed that would happen and dodged it.
After that, both Kai and Rei were shoved back into their own cells for the night.
Did you like it?! Please R & R if you did! If you didn't send a flame! It's all good (^_^)b
Ja!

"What is this? What do you want with us?" Kai demanded to know.
"Oh, you'll find out soon enough." Boris said with a grin, and grabbed the boys by their necks. Kai knew better that to try and escape when someone was holding him this way, but Rei had no idea.

Rei reluctantly stood up and followed the strange man outside of the room. He saw that Kai's cell was already empty.
"Wh..where's Kai?" He asked.
"Already down the hall. You'll see him in a moment." The man said with and evil grin.
He opened a door, and pushed Rei inside, slamming the door right away. As soon as Rei saw what was in front of him, he slammed back against the door, slumping to the floor in terror. There was a large, dark room and all over the place were bottles with no lables, empty syringes, and there was puddles on the floor of god-knows-what. When Rei finally worked up the courage to look up, he almost passed out. Kai was sitting in a chair with his hands tied to the arms, wearing only a pair of shorts. He had sweat running from his temples, and his eyes were dating back and forth, looking for Boris. By the looks of it, he had already had quite a few needles jabbed roughly into his arm.
"No, no...this isn't happening...." Rei muttered. "KAI!" He called out, and ran to the chair. Kai's eyes widened in shock when Boris reached out and grabbed Rei.
"LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD!" Rei yelled as loudly as he could.
"It's no use kid, this building is like outer space. No one can hear you scream." Boris said with an evil grin. He threw Rei roughly into a chair right across from Kai, and tied his arms down.
Kai was petrified. He felt an anger so strong surging through his veins, he couldn't bear to see anyone hurt Rei.
"Boris, let him go. I don't care what the hell you do to me, just let him go, please, listen to me."
"Keep quiet, you fool." Boris muttered and turned to Rei.
"I guess that by now you have some idea what's going on, don't you, you pathetic excuse for a beyblader." And with that, he hit Rei across the head, forcing a small trickle of blood to form from under his dark hairline.
Rei didn't know why, or where this sudden urge to fight back was coming from, but he found himself yelling right back into Boris' face.
"Oh yeah? If i'm such a pathetic beyblader, how come i managed to beat Bryan, then?"
Suddenly Rei regreted saying that. He felt another sharp pain across his cheek, and felt it already starting to bruise.
"No! Leave him out of this! Let him go, he doesn't want anything to do with your experiments! Just do whatever you want to me, but please, just let Rei go....." Kai said, tears forming in his crimson eyes, the pain of his own injuries disappearing, and they were starting to look full of fear for Rei's safety rather than his own.
"You think i should let him go, do you, you little brat? You managed to escape years ago but now, you'll never manage to get out of this place alive. BioVolt have upped our security by about one hundered new guards." Boris said, turning to Kai. He grabbed a syringe full of a clear liquid of the table and turned back to Rei.
"NO!!! DON'T DO IT YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Kai screamed. But it was too late. Rei's golden eyes widened in fear as he watched the point extend towards the crook of his elbow.
"No!! Please, don't come near me, stay away, don't......" Rei's eyes were full of terror as the cruel man approached him. He watched Boris lower his arm, and then he felt the strongest pain in his right arm. Boris had just shoved the point right into his arm. It was far from the way doctors carefully inject people, trying to reduce pain, but by the feel of it, Boris was trying to inflict as much pain as he could. When he finally pulled it out what seemed like an eternity later, Rei was trembling from head to toe, and His face was covered in tears and sweat.
Kai had closed his eyes as he saw Boris approach Rei, but when he opened them the sight he saw completely broke his heart. Rei's face was completely wet, and his eyes lookd not at all like they should, full of happiness and joy. His arms looked like it was already stating to swell up, and there was a trickle of blood from the new wound.
No, not Rei, anyone but Rei.....he means everything to me....i need him, don't hurt him any more, you complete bastard. Hurting innocent people like this, especially Rei. Ok, so i ran away from this place and i guess that for all i've done to others i deserve this pain, but i can handle it, i've been through it all before. But Rei has never hurt anyone, and he's probably never even been in a schoolyard fight before, he barely knows what physical pain is, god, just let go of him........ Kai thought.
Suddenly, Kai was ripped from his thoughts as he was taken to another place.....one he unfortunately remembered quite well. He remembered being tested here....needles all day....blood all over the place....he even remembered quite clearly the day he had been sitting in this room, being injected with about seven different chemicals at once, when another student from the Abbey had found his way down to the dungeon. But back in the present, Kai saw the same boy there, but this time he wasn't screaming or trying to get away. Tala was standing there with an evil grin on his face, like he knew what was about to happen. Unfortunately for Kai, he grabbed a syringe from the table and quick as lightning, he stabbed Kai's arm with it.
Kai felt like he was going to pass out for a moment, but then he felt wide awake. It was like he suddenly HAD to fight. He felt it...through his veins.....fight, fight, fight......Something in the back of his mind reminded him of this feeling.....he wasn't sure where......closing his eyes to think for a moment.....then he remembered. He started to laugh.
"Boris, you are so fucking pathetic." He said through laughter.
Ok, so the kid's grown up a bit. But does he really think insulting me will work? Boris thought.
"You know, I've got the strangest feeling that this has happened before. Maybe that's because that you're so fucking brain-dead that you don't realise that you injected me with this when I was only five. I managed to survive it then, and I will now." Kai said, still laughing.
"Oh?" Boris raised an eyebrow. "Well, it's stronger now, and YOU might be able to stand it, but I think we all know someone who might not.........." He said with and evil smirk on his disgusting face.
MEANWHILE........
"Let go of me! Don't touch me, please, just get that thing away from me and let go!" Rei cried to the two people holding him down as a third forced a needle into his arm.
"What's the point to this? Is there a point to injecting me with all these chemicals?" Rei asked through tears.
"Not really. Just to see your reaction to the pain and the contents of this."
With an evil smirk, the strongest of them all grabbed Rei and carried him kicking and screaming into the other room, where Kai was.
"KAI! Why are they doing this? I can't take it anymore!" Rei called.
"Just hang on, Rei. I love you so much, you have to hold up, for me, ok?"
That was all Kai got to say before he was silenced with a hand.
At that moment, Boris walked in.
"Sir," Tala muttered, and walked over to Boris, trying to ask something. Suddenly, Boris shouted something that scared Rei further.
"For gods sake, you idiot. They can't possibly understand Russian, just say it. If I must say though, I'm sure our little friend here has forgotten every single word of it since his age of about, 5 was it?" Boris said, glaring at Kai.
So Tala started speaking in Russian at an amazing pace, his words precise, but they seemed a bit edgy, even to Rei who had no idea what was going to happen to him. He watched as two of the worst people he could imagine were conversing in a language so foreign to him, not having any idea what was about to happen to him. Every so often, Boris would nod and Tala would continue. As another torrent of tears reached his eyes, Rei looked over at Kai. He had gone silent, and was staring right at Boris and Tala.
Suddenly....
"DON'T DO IT YOU EVIL BASTARDS! LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT!" Kai bellowed.
"So it seems that you still know how to speak Russian after all this time, Kai." Boris said smugly.
"Of course I do. I was born and grew up here. I had to know it. So I know Japanese and English now. They were just two other languages that I had to learn to be able to fend for myself in this world. But even if I never came back here, like I never planned to, I was taught Russian as my first language. My first words, my first plots against other people, all in Russian. But then, since I hated this place so much, I ran, not exactly forgetting it, but just cramming it into the back of my mind, like unnecessary information."
"Ok then, you should know by now what we're planning to do to your little friend here." Tala said.
"I do, but I don't want it to happen. If you have to do it to someone, do it to him." Kai said, nodding toward Boris.
"Tala knows the rules of this place, more than you seem to think, Kai. He knows that if he even attempts to hurt anyone I have instructed him not to, he'll be out of here faster than you can beat a weak opponent." Boris said. Tala remained silent, not speaking, but the silence in his eyes was freaking Rei out. He seemed too calm for what was going on in this place. Not knowing why, he dared to ask.
"Why is Tala so calm when we're being tortured here?"
"Because he knows. He knows what the chemicals do, why we do this. He's been a part of this since he was born, growing up here, learning about the ways of BioVolt. He has a strong mind and will. He knows all about the chemicals, and I daresay that in a few weeks, he'll be mixing them on his own without supervision, being entirely trusted with BioVolt's biggest secrets." Boris told them, then chose to leave the room. "Just make sure they stay here Tala."
"You're cruel," Rei breathed. "You do this because you're told to? You could have had a choice. But now, because you were too cowardly to run like Kai did, you're stuck, stuck doing this for the rest of your life!" Rei said in a voice that Kai had never heard before. He sounded more confident, like Kai had when.....
"HOW STRONG WERE THE CHEMICALS YOU INJECTED INTO HIM!?!?!!?" Kai screamed. "TELL ME!!!"
"Oh, only strong enough to make him like this for a few hours. But after a while, he'll become immune to it, so we'll have to make the dosage stronger."
"/You're pure evil, Tala, you know that? You know just how evil? I know that I might deserve this, I know I left this disgusting place years ago, but Rei doesn't know pain, leave him out of this. Just test out the things on me, and leave him out of this.\" Kai said. Rei couldn't understand a word of it, Kai had started speaking in fluent Russian. Rei almost passed out when he heard his name, a word that couldn't be translated.
"/Well, I don't care. If you had stayed here longer, you just might have become a better Byeblader than you are now. You might have been the one to be doing these experiments on others, but no, you had to leave, you left and gave away the only chance you had to becoming the best Beyblader on the planet. Voltaire saw your talent, that's why he brought you here. To be the best, but you chose against that, against your Grandfathers wishes.\"
"/I don't care. I hated this place. I chose against everything my grandfather wanted, I hated him then and still do now.\"
"/You were always the one breaking the rules around this place, and you always got away with it, just because your grandfather owned the place.\"
"/I couldn't care less if I was told to die by my grandfather! I never listened to him. Once, when I was only a baby, I did have parents. I don't remember them, and I'll never know them. You know what? I don't really care. Voltaire took me from them, against their will, they wanted me to grow up away from this place, they didn't want me to become involved with all this BioVolt stuff, but I don't care now. I have Rei, he's all I need.\"
Rei heard his name again. Through this entire time, he had been wondering what they had been talking about. He was watching their faces for clues, watching the expressions. The last expression he saw was on Kai's face, the one he hated. Kai looked mad. He hated it when Kai was mad, and since they had been together, really the only time he seemed to even let anger show was in the Beystadium.
"/Oh, really? Now that you're stuck here, you have no say in what we inject you with. Your body is used to them, but his isn't. So what would you do if we threatened him?\"
"/First, I'd make sure Rei was safe, then i'd wring your neck and hang you out on a stake to rot.\"
"/I see that you're very emotionally attached to him.\"
"/And what if I am?\"
"/I'll just have to make sure he gets hurt even further.\" Tala said, grinning evilly at the thought.
"/STAY AWAY FROM HIM!\"
Tala grabbed a syringe and shoved it into Rei's wrist. He hissed in pain, trying to free himself. He kicked out, but Tala guessed that would happen and dodged it.
After that, both Kai and Rei were shoved back into their own cells for the night.
